Kenneth Ma a wooden character is difficult to portray

Kenneth Ma entered the industry 10 years ago, and it's only in the recent years that he received leading roles. He is heavily promoted for the new generation Siu Sang, but he often plays a good or foolish guy. He just can't seem to get out of that frame, like in Can't Buy Me Love, he plays a matchmaker who is wooden with no changes and has a romantic storyline with Fala Chen. He also doesn't have fate to be in on the comedy with the Kam family three brothers.

Wonder if it's because of Kenneth Ma's wooden personality in real life that many producers use him as the best male supporting characters, playing as the good, foolish or obedient guy. If you think of Kenneth, up until today, he has never been a villain, this time in Can't Buy Me Love, he plays the matchmaker official Ting Yau Wai, a wooden mouth and face scholar. He said: "I am a matchmaker official, I'm pretty boring when I speak and has a relationship with Fala Chen. Later I discover my real identity and will even affect the country. The comedy parts is focused more on the Kam family's three brothers."

Can't Buy Me Love is a comedy series, but Kenneth is not included in the comedy part. He is a tad disappointed, but he can observe the other artists act and he has learned a lot from them. He said: "I know comedies are actually really hard to act because comedy is hard to fabricate. Just something little missing can turn laughter into something stupid. Plus there has to be other artists who create atmosphere, that's how there will be good results. Can't Buy Me Love relied on the whole cast working together that it became a success. The Kam family's three brothers make a great group, Louis Yuen is the master of comedy, always coming up with new ideas on the spot, making good results."

Kenneth likes comedies, but does not have too many opportunities to try, the king of comedy in his heart is Stephen Chow. He said: "Don't have to say it, it's Stephen Chow. All of his comedy flicks, I've seen. My favorite one is Shaolin Soccer, the story is perfect." Kenneth also felt that Stephen has brought comedy to its highest state, he said: "Making comedy to it's highest state is self-derogatory, make sarcastic remarks to bring happiness to audience. The self-derogatory won't offend people, this is the highest state."

After many years, his image has been finalized, but earlier he played a playboy in The Mysteries of Love which also stole the limelight. First time being a playboy, he received many praises, he said: "There are many male viewers who really liked me, what man does not want to be accomplished. Many people say that they couldn't believe I could be such a playboy, turns out that I can be pretty hot, so a little evil can really be liked by many. Being an obedient boy really can't develop much, the more good he is the, the harder it is to act."

Finally Kenneth Ma can break the frame and be a villain. He said: "I'm currently filming The Female Martial Artist, I will slowly turn bad in that series. Then in a new series, I can finally take on a real evil role, there will be more inner heart scenes, so I am pretty happy now. What I hope most is that people will yell at me, that is what is called success."

The funniest male artist: Louis Yuen

"Actually between the three Kam brothers, I would choose Louis Yuen because he has lots of ideas to make it funny, those were all his ideas. He has great talent for comedy, so I will choose him."

The funniest female artist: Charmaine Sheh

"For female, I would choose Charmaine Sheh. She was really funny as the shrewd princess. She did very well acting her out."

The funniest scene: 3 Kam Brother's Rap in court

"I am a matchmaker official, the most memorable scene was the one at court, the three Kam brothers suddenly started rapping in the court room, this is also Louis' idea. Although I didn't join in on the rap, just watching them, I felt that it was really funny, very meaningful."
