"OVERHEARD 2" PREMIERES IN H.K.
Despite Louis Koo's absence due to his old knee injury, leading actors Sean Lau, Daniel Wu, and actress Huang Yi all attended the event to talk about their latest collaboration.
Director Felix Chong said, although the cast members are the same, the story is completely different from its previous installment since the characters are all new.
The plot revolves around a successful businessman, starred by Sean Lau, who finds out that his car has been wired and that he's under the watchful eye of a mysterious man, played by Daniel Wu, following a car accident.
Sean Lau: "The character I play this time is very different from the last time. This time I play someone who manipulates the stock market. In the first film I play a cop. The character before was more gentle. This time, this character is more villain like."
While Sean plays the bad guy, model turned actor Daniel Wu had to gain weight to fit the character.
Daniel Wu BITE: Basically going to the gym every day, for a couple of hours, 2 hours a day. And then eating a lot. I had to eat 7 meals a day to gain all that weight. So I got up to almost 180 pounds."
As for Louis Koo, he takes on the role as a cop who's assigned to investigate the crime, but finds himself unraveling the mystery behind one of Hong Kong's biggest financial crime organizations.
However, when asked about if they are good at investments, the stars admit they aren't experts at investing in the stock market themselves.
Sean Lau Bite: "I have no money, so no need to manage,"
Daniel Wu Bite: "I've invested in the stock market, unsuccessfully, which is why I keep acting, because I'm better at that. It's a very complicated field, and it's a very shady field like what you'll see it in this movie. It's not a place for me to play I think."
"Overhead 2" is already in Hong Kong cinemas, and will be in hitting the big screen here in Taiwan on September 9th.
