Hong Kong actor, Francis Ng (吳鎮宇) is known for being a perfectionist, and he expects cast members to be punctual and always do the best in their parts. With his no-nonsense personality, Francis reportedly did not get along with his costar, Fala Chen (陳法拉) in Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄II> who allegedly is not a team player and has a bad habit of coming in late during filming. Francis and Fala play a couple in the drama and they share many scenes together. Francis had already flared up once during the filming of Triumph in the Skies 2 when he scolded an assistant who was mistaken about the location of the shoot. However, an inside source revealed that Francis lost his temper again and even cursed at the crew during a location shoot in Paris. The incident happened during an outdoor shoot at a park near the Louvre Museum when Fala was nowhere to be found after the lunch break. Francis became very impatient after waiting for Fala to come back to resume filming. He angrily shouted, “Where the [expletive] did she go? Where the [expletive] is she?” Francis then cursed at the assistant at the set, “Why are you rushing us? Why are we in such a [expletive] hurry?” His voice was so loud that even the people inside the Louvre Museum may have heard his tantrum. The following evening, Francis lost his cool during an argument scene with Fala. Francis was reportedly upset with Fala who kept making mistakes, causing many outtakes. Francis allegedly attempted to control his anger but started kicking things around. Fala is used to this kind of situation, and she did not show any reaction to his outburst. It was also reported that Fala had a knack of disappearing during the location shoot in Europe. As the crew was finishing up and getting ready to leave for the hotel, Fala went missing. This caused another round of cursing from Francis. “Fala Chen, the van is here, where the [expletive] are you?” Francis yelled. When the crew and the production team were done packing and ready to leave, Fala, like a magician, amazingly appeared out of nowhere. Creds: Oriental Daily
It is a much anticipated sequel drama (I'll probably watch this too, I HARDLY watch any HK dramas). I don't blame Francis for his outbursts because he is an ACTOR first and a celebrity second.
Fala is killing TVB dramas one by one. This is all her fault. The article is just making Francis seem like the bad guy!
Sound like Fala is a source of his anger. It'll drive me nuts too if I have to wait for that little princess every day while she's out having fun. If she can't commit to be on the set and ready to work, she shouldn't sign up for the project.
Seems like it yes.. I think she's received complaints on almost every series/drama she's been in. But hey... she's a big shot..and don't really need the money I guess. Big rich husband.
