"Tiger Cubs 2" Big Explosion Scared Residents, Called The Police

Yesterday Joe Ma, Linda Chung, Him Law, Nancy Wu and Mandy Wong were shooting a big explosion scene for TVB new series Tiger Cubs II. The crew chose to shoot the scenes near a large government stadium in Causeway Bay. The scenes started out with Linda opening fire at Timmy Hung, then Nancy drives a car into an office building and threw a grenade. The SDU heard the loud bang and rushed to the scene. 

Before the cameras rolled, the cast were relaxed and chatted happily, but once the staff shouted to clear the location, they ran over to their positions for this big scene. Linda, Nancy and Mandy ran over to their distant positions in 9 seconds!

Because the explosion was too severe, the staff asked all artists to take cover to avoid injuries, but among the female artists, Linda had the best treatment. She got to sit in the car and enjoy the big explosion scene in the car. The others had to stand there or crouch besides the car! At the moment of the explosion, the blaze was extremely fierce and not long after the dark smoke filled up 5 stories in the building. The people in the nearby buildings thought there was a real explosion and called the police. Results, several fire marshalls and the police came to the scene. Producer Lam Chi Wah said: "So sorry, the loud explosion sounds frightened everyone. We followed all the procedures and finished shooting the scene in the designated area." 

Linda got special treatment from the staff, allowing her to sit in the car during the explosion. Linda was asked if she was in a great panic? She laughed: "I wasn't that scared because the biggest explosion scene I've done was actually in Brother's Keeper, so I had the experience. (Why did you hide in the car?) I'm the most well behaved, the staff kept telling me to get in the car, treating me just like a real BB. Actually I really wasn't that scared. (The explosion scene got the police involved?) Proves how realistic the scene was, we want to show the audience the best. The crew had done all the registrations and applications beforehand, but if the loud scene disturbed other residents, really sorry about that." 

Joe expressed Tiger Cubs II filming is ending later this month, and praised the HK Police Force really does work efficiently, they came right to the scene when reported, but he was sorry the explosion caused disturbance to the nearby residents. 

Him Captures "Evidence" On Camera 

Him expressed he ran to the best place to take over and used his phone to take a picture of the scene. He shared the picture with everyone around him. Him disclosed this is not his first time shooting such a big explosion scene, so he wasn't as frightened as the female artists. He said: "Just now after we completed the scene, I immediately took off my helmet and put up a 'YEAH!' hand gesture to prove that I was in the scene. (Wasn't afraid the heat may melt your phone?) So that's why I used another staff's cell phone to take the pictures, haha!" 

Nancy Felt Face Heating Up 

Mandy and Nancy expressed this is their first time shooting such an intense explosion scene. Mandy laughed: "I felt scared, but at the same time I wanted to see it. Its so exciting, but when I got up, the explosion already happened. Luckily there were many other people on the set. Just now the camera man said he was filming a similar scene, but ended up losing all his hair. Just hearing that scared me, so I kept my head as low as possible during the explosion. (A resident thought it was real and called the police!) I saw the police come, but we were just filming. If we disturbed the residents, so sorry!" Nancy exclaimed: "It was such a strong explosion. I felt my face heating up. The staff told me to be careful and stand further away!"

Linda Chung to leave showbiz?

 According to Hong Kong media reports, a dispirited Linda Chung has lost interest in showbiz, and will be returning to her home in Canada for a long hiatus.

The starlet, who was busy with concert rehearsals and filming for drama Tiger Cubs 2, was said to have had very little rest in the past months.  Despite so, the 29-year-old had no complains as she had wished to put on a good concert for her fans at the concert.

Unfortunately for Linda, things did not go as planned and her very first concert in Hong Kong was met with negative feedbacks, where Linda was criticised for shaky singing, bad dancing and poor stage presence. 

According to a source, the series of backlash made Linda dispirited and caused her to cast doubts on her music career. The criticisms also affected the actress, who has since lost confidence in her showbiz performances.

Additionally, Linda was seen looking very distracted during a fighting scene for Tiger Cubs 2 recently, and had many NGs shots as a result.

When asked about the issue, Linda confirmed that she had indeed requested for a long break after filming for Tiger Cubs 2 ends, and has no plans to take on any new projects anytime soon.

It is speculated that Linda wishes to follow in the footsteps of her good friend Aimee Chan, who had recently gotten married and is enjoying a blissful family life.

Linda Chung to Take a Break After Filming “Tiger Cubs 2”

Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) is overly stressed recently. From the pressure of preparing for her first solo concert to the rushing of completing Tiger Cubs 2<飛虎 II>, it is of no surprise that the 29-year-old did not even bother to hide her bad mood during the filming for Tiger Cubs 2 last week.

Linda’s first solo concert, Love Love Love, was held on August 22 and 23 at the Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Center. In addition to exhaustive preparations, the negative critical reviews that Linda had garnered from her concert – old-fashioned costumes, poor vocal abilities, less-than-stellar dancing, and uncharismatic stage presence – notably contributed to Linda’s recent downcast mood.

Exhausted from lack of spirit and sleep, Linda looked far from happy during the filming of Tiger Cubs 2 on August 29. Linda was unusually quiet and displayed a short attention span as she listened to the action choreographer. When it was her time to film, Linda kept on slipping and shots had to be retaken.

During the break, Linda rarely interacted with the crew and sat in a far corner. When a crew member came up to her to ask if she wanted water, Linda dully replied, “I don’t want it. I only drink Pocari Sweat (Japanese sports drink).” She immediately called another crew member to purchase the drink for her.

When bystanders stopped by to ask for photographs, Linda pretended she did not hear them. When she noticed a reporter snapping photos of her, she angrily said, “Can you silent your camera?”

After shooting Tiger Cubs 2, Linda will not accept any job offers and return to Canada for a long break.

“Yes, I will be on a break,” said Linda. “I want to rest.”

Tabloids reported that Linda lost the spirit to continue her career as an artist after negative reviews of her concert were published, but Linda denied the reports, expressing that she has read good reviews so far.

“My friends have reacted positively so far. I am satisfied with my performance. The whole point of the concert was to promote love, and my fans said they felt it.”
