arrived in Malaysia a few days ago to promote his latest movie “Special ID” 特殊身份. The promo
tour was held in Paradigm Mall, Upper
Atrium on 10th October
2013.
Audience
Playing Games On Stage!
Before Donnie Yen has arrived at the venue, the Emcees of the day have
chosen a few lucky fans among to crowd to go on stage for a game. 3 pairs of
fans were picked. Most of them claimed that they have some martial arts
background. Before they started the game, a short video clip was shown. The 3
pairs of fans have to perform the stunt which was shown in the video clip. (The
video clip was consisted of some action scenes from the upcoming movie, “Special ID”.)
The 1st pair of fans won the
game based on the amount of applause from the audience on the floor. These
lucky fans have the chance to receive their gift from Donnie Yen later on.
The
Martial Art Icon Arrived! Donnie Yen Greeted The Fans!
Without much delay, Donnie Yen has finally reached the venue and he said hello to all
the audience who has attended the promo event. He shook hands with all the fans
that have come on stage for the game session. The winner of the game session has to perform
their acts in front of him one more time. He looked impressed. Then, the event
proceeded with Donnie Yen giving out
the gifts to all these lucky fans.
To
Play His Role Well, Donnie Behaved Like The Movie Characters In His Real Life!
The emcees have interviewed Donnie Yen
on stage. Donnie Yen told that, every time when he took up a role for any
movies, he would try to make himself behave like the character even when he’s
in his real life. This is for him to immerse into the characters and to provide
the best performance he could. For example, during the time when he played the
role of Ip Man (one of Donnie’s most
prominent movie character), he actually wore the costumes at his home and dined
with his wife in that traditional Chinese clothes. He also needed to cut down
on his diet in order to make himself thin enough to fit the character of Ip
Man. Till the extent that, his wife asked him whether he is mad.
Previously, he took up another role as
the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. Again,
in order for him to immerse into that character, he actually sat and ate like Monkey
King when he dined at home.
This time, he has to play the role of an
undercover for the movie “Special ID”. The
character was designed to be cool and muscular. Thus, again, he has to control
his diet and he has to avoid the food he likes to eat such as Durian and Curry. He jokingly said that, the character is even cooler than David Beckham, so he has to put some
pressure on himself to make himself sufficiently fit for that role
The
Main Goal For His Effort Is For The Fans!
Near the end of the interview, Donnie
said that the main reason for him to put so many efforts every time he took up
his roles is because he wanted to deliver his best on the screen. He said that
he did this for all the fans who love his movie including those who have
attended the promo tour that night. The fans were delighted after hearing this
and screamed in joy.
Then there was a conversation between
the main sponsor of the movie and also Donnie Yen. Donnie Yen jokingly asked, “If he open an an account in UOB Bank,
will he get any discount?”
After that, the event proceeded with the
launching ceremony and photography session. Besides, singer Alvin 鍾瑾樺 has also presented a 3D Poster Gift to Donnie Yen.
By the way, the movie “Special ID” 特殊身份 will be in cinema on 18th October 2013. So, for all of you who love martial
arts movie or Donnie Yen’s movie, do
