Louis Koo wants to do Hong Siu Lung role right
24 Jul - Now that "A Step into the Past" is being adapted for the big screen, Hong Kong actor Louis Koo is determined to do the role of Hong Siu Lung justice this time around.
As reported on Mingpao, the actor, who appeared at the Hong Kong Book Fair to attend a forum discussing the works of the late wuxia writer Huang Yi (the writer of the original novel of the same name), shared that he wasn't able to understand his character further back when he was filming the drama, due to some limitations in production.
"Hong Siu Lung is supposed to be romantic but very promiscuous. But because of the limitations of television, we weren't able to add some parts [of his character] into the drama," he said.
However, Louis admitted that the script did pique his interest in the original, which is why he finally decided to read the whole novel this time around.
"I am thinking about presenting the story in a different angle. It will be a big challenge for me," he added.
