Roger Kwok, Joey Meng Film in Vietnam for “Dead Wrong”
Roger Kwok (郭晉安) and Joey Meng (萬綺雯) flew to Vietnam to film outdoor scenes for Dead Wrong <致命復活>. However, due to the hot weather in Vietnam, both Roger and Joey felt faint and extremely uncomfortable under the sun.
Dressed in a caveman outfit and sporting a lot of facial hair, Roger said the 30-degree weather made filming insufferable. Even Kenny Wong (黃德斌) and Vincent Wong (王浩信), who are known to have fit physiques, said they struggled with filming the action scenes because of the sun.
Unfortunately, the weather affected Joey the most, causing her to feel faint during filming. Due to her running scenes, Joey even felt stroke-like symptoms after the cameras stopped rolling.
Joey lamented, “It’s really hot and we have a lot of filming to do here. The producer said I had the most filming among the cast. One day, I didn’t have enough sleep and felt dizzy after being in the sun for a short period of time. I had to sit down and rest before filming again.”
Despite the difficult filming conditions, both Roger and Joey said filming in Vietnam is worth it. Roger revealed that a local boatman prepared a buffet for the cast and crew after filming completing the scene on board. Roger smiled, “In Hollywood, they would have buffets for everyone and rooms for actors to rest. I’ve always hoped that there would be buffets wherever I work. Isn’t this just like a Hollywood production? Normally, I would only get takeout during work.”

Surely that pic isn’t Roger “sporting a lot of facial hair” xD
Joey looks good in that Vietnamese dress ao dai! Like her hair like that too. Roger looks good in that picture too!
Must be wicked humid and hot in Vietnam, so it’s glad to know that they are done over there. Scary to film in so much heat.
weak people. Vietnam is NOT HOT but just HUMID!
@skyking but humidity is worst then being just hot!!!! As it make you sweats even more so is very draining.
@happybi then say humid, not hot. drink more water.
@skyking
They should be used to the weather. HK gets hot and humid too.
@msxie0714 I think it’s because in HK where ever you go there is AC blasting everywhere. In Vietnam that is not the case. You don’t get relieve just by walking into a store as they may not have AC. So even if they are use to the humidity, its different.
they seem to be the next golden couple in TVB … they filmed so many drama together and their next project (Cho Lam 3rd sequel) they’ll be back once again, but im loving it, the seniors are always the best compared to n00bs actors/actress.
@vodka
but then we have people who complain about the production crew using the same actors/actresses over and over and that we need new faces and are sick of the same faces…but then we dont give the newbie ones a chance. man the audience/people are hard to please.
@akinu
“man the audience/people are hard to please.”
I know, eh. Either way,TVB never wins
@olivegarden in general, not just at the TVB audience. i feel that any country faces this problem because people are just too hard please. personally, im up for new faces. as long as their acting is okay and not over the top, im good.
love this onscreen couple! looking forward to this show!
Wow Joey Meng looks great in that dress. Looking forward to seeing this couple on screen again 🙂
Vietnamese are usually short. Joey Meng is too stall to act a Vietnamese woman. Ha ha ….
@orchid123 That is a false and unnecessary assumption. There are tall and short people of every nationality…
@orchid123 But she is skinny enuff to look like one.
@orchid123
i agree w/ you. i’ve never seen any tall viet guy/gal.
