Benjamin Yuen, Natalie Tong Kiss Awkwardly in “Speed of Life”
TVB stars Natalie Tong (唐詩詠), Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪) and Kenny Wong (黃德斌) attended a promotional event for their new drama, Speed of Life <鐵馬戰車>. The drama has been performing well, peaking at 30 points in viewership ratings last week.
In Speed of Life, Benjamin shares a physically intimate scene with Natalie. It was revealed that filming the scene involved six to seven takes, and the scene was still regarded as not sensual enough. Natalie laughed and said, “It’s not that our takes weren’t good. It’s just that…before we did the actual filming, I showed [Benjamin] so many clips from romantic films and television programs, but he was not impressed and he did not cooperate at all. He later told me that our characters should both be very gentle in the scene, and so I followed his style. And they also needed to get multiple angles of the scenes.”
Benjamin added that the crew especially played love songs in order to cultivate a romantic atmosphere. When it was actually time to film the kissing scene, it turned out that Natalie’s high nose bridge made it very inconvenient for the two leads to kiss, forcing them to tilt their faces at a special angle.
Benjamin was asked if he had to report the to his girlfriend, Jennifer Shum (岑杏賢). Benjamin expressed, “It’s all just a part of filming…I mean, I’m filming a romantic show, not an action flick!” As for Natalie, she said, “[Benjamin’s girlfriend] also works within the industry; I’m sure she’ll understand!”
On Natalie’s part, she avoided all mention of her rumored boyfriend, Tony Hung (洪永城). Did Tony have issues with her high nose bridge? Natalie reverted to her usual line, “I don’t know!”
On why Sisley Choi (蔡思貝), Natalie’s co-star, did not turn up at the event, Natalie did not have a reply but said, “We need to congratulate her on her nomination at the Hong Kong Film Awards. We need to celebrate that!” What about celebrating the drama’s ratings achievement? Natalie laughed and said that she would not personally be in charge of the celebration, although she is happy to commemorate the occasion by wearing a bikini in public.

You don’t got skills, son.
Hahaha, it’s funny. Wonder how is the skill, how to kiss high nose bridge person? Natalie’s very cute in her answer
@cuckoo makes me wonder how Caucasians kiss lol!
@isay Don’t know, on movies they go to right position very fast lol. If you want to know, maybe should find one Caucasian to learn, then remember to practise again and again lol, so that you will not forget your lesson:)))
@cuckoo hahaha the height of the nose isn’t a problem then. It’s just the skills (or lack of) of the kisser(s).
Benjamin character is irritating in the drama….
