Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo) in the Media Asia new film CONFESSION OF PAIN (SEUNG SING) played a drunk detective. Due to a sad experience for him the story often had a hint of sadness. However the set itself was another matter. Although he and producer and director Andrew Lau Wai Keung had quite an age difference, they got along famously. On the set they were like big kids who often played pranks on each other.





One day the film shot a hospital scene at Cyberport. In it Gum Sing Mo's girlfriend Emme Wong Yee Man was hospitalized after a suicide attempt. He carried her and ran into the emergency room, but because of an old wound when he walked he easily fell. Whenever he had to fall, Lau Wai Keung joked, "Drop dead! Drop dead!" Later Gum Sing Mo asked Lau Wai Keung about what he said in his half fluent Cantonese. Lau Wai Keung responded in Mandarin that no one could understood. "I 'snow' that you shouldn't walk like this! Not like this, understand?" Gum Sing Mo had a seemingly understood but not expression. Wong Yee Man could not help but laugh. Later this scene was shot from another angle. Lau Wai Keung even daringly watched while saying "drop dead". Finally righteous Wong Yee Man could not hep but lightly said to Gum Sing Mo. "Lau Wai Keung is pulling a prank on you! What he said was a Cantonese slang, it is meant as a curse." Gum Sing Mo expressed immediately in his half fluent Cantonese that as soon as he saw the director's smug look he knew he was saying "something bad".
