《刺马》在北京的外景终于全部拍完了，也度过了寒冷的冬天。告别北京的风沙，以为到了上海一切都会好了，哪知道又遇到下雨天，我的一场戏在雨里拍了八天，比寒冷更痛苦！

拍《黄飞鸿》第一集的时候，有很难忘的经历，一场雨里的打戏拍了两个月。在雨里拍戏衣服因为湿变得非常沉重，天气又冷，雨水到了眼睛里什么都看不清楚，比正常的拍摄起码要多花费一倍的时间。

前几天在北京的时候我还笑刘德华，他自己拍了三天雨里的戏。他一个人在雨里很痛苦，被杀的戏拍了三天。我说：哈哈，你看我们多好，我们没有雨。今天他比我还开心，“哈哈，我才三天你拍八天。”让他报了仇了。

拍电影就是这样，无常，经常改变。改变也要做好，谁让电影是工作，我喜欢的工作。

We have finally finished the Beijing portion of "Ci Ma" and have successfully weathered the harsh winter. I expected Shanghai to be much better but who could have guessed that it’s raining and cold here. We’re shooting a scene outdoors for the next eight days so, for the sake of continuity, I will be fighting the rain for that amount of time. These conditions are even worse than those in Beijing. The next eight days will definitely be the most challenging of the entire movie.

I remember during filming of "Once Upon a Time in China", there was one scene that lasted two months in probably the worst conditions I have ever filmed. The rain completely soaked my costume and made it difficult to see clearly. That scene took twice as long to film.

While we were in Beijing a few days ago I was laughing at Andy Lau because he had to film a scene on his own for three days in the rain. It was a difficult time for him, but now he is very happy. He says he only has to fight the rain for three days while I have to do it for eight days. So I guess he's had his revenge.

Well, that’s movie making for you. There is nothing that is usual or unusual. Things change all the time. No matter how the situation evolves, you still have to adapt and move forward. But that’s my job, one that I like very much.
