Pierre Png: Acting was never my career choice
The actor reveals how he got into acting and shares his similarities with his character in xinmsn's upcoming web series

It was his acting that won him the trophy in Channel 5 talent show Fame Awards in 1998 but becoming an actor was never a dream for Pierre Png. In fact, acting was just something he did to “get out of trouble”.
 
“Acting was never my career choice… I was very mischievous when I was young and I would get myself into a lot of trouble. So, for example when I made this kid fall down or I broke a vase, I would pretend and act like I wasn’t responsible for it.
 
“Fortunately with this face of mine and a bit of acting, I always manage to avoid getting punished,” he said with a cheeky smile.
 
These days, acting is more than a means of escape for Pierre. Calling it an art form, it gives him the opportunity to immerse himself in different roles - something he enjoys.
 
“The craft of acting is about assuming different roles and playing different characters, and I enjoy the control that I have over my characters,” he said.
 
In his latest role in xinmsn web series Art of Love, Pierre plays a mysterious ‘man-in-black’ who links five different stories that explore the relationship between love, art and life. Although the characters in these stories are initially passionate about the arts, they are forced to give up their dreams.
 
While Pierre never had to give up on any of his dreams, he did reveal a similarity he shared with his character in Art of Love – both have an air of mystery about them.
 
Calling himself a mysterious person, Pierre said, “I’m pretty much a private person and I rarely share my thoughts with people unless they want to know. I guess only my loved ones will know what I’m really thinking about.”

Acting in a xinmsn web drama for the first time, Pierre shared that while the shoot was short – the series consists of ten ten-minute episodes - the filming experience was very enjoyable .
 
“It was basically hassle free because the director took his time to explain the scenes carefully to me,” recalled the 39-year-old.

“Every shot was beautifully executed and the script was well written, I especially love how my character helps the rest of the characters discover their potential and pursue their love for art.”
 
But that’s not the only purpose of the ‘man-in-black’. “The audience will have to watch on to find out the truth because the real reason for the existence of my character only gets revealed in the last part , ” teased Pierre.

Art of Love debuts on xinmsn on April 15. The full TV drama unfolds May 12, 8.30pm, on Ch U.

方展发自认神秘,有心事从不轻易对人说,并表示喜欢尝试危险又具挑战性的运动,寻求刺激。

方展发在xinmsn全新网络剧《心。艺》中饰演一位神秘'黑衣人',引领着观众穿梭在5个不同里故事,探索情感、生活与艺术之间的微妙关系。而他的背后,更隐藏着一个不为人知的秘密。

接受xinmsn访问时,方展发透露,这个角色跟现实生活中的他,其实有不少相同之处。

自认心思缜密的他认为,有时也会变得神秘起来,他经常把心事藏在心底,也不轻易分享他的心思。

'我很少会主动跟人分享我在想些什么,就算他们问我,我也不会随便跟任何人说,我想,大概只有我最亲的人,才会真正了解我的想法。'

第一次接演网络剧,方展发也分享了他的美好经验,并表示能和这么出色和专业的导演及制作团队合作,是他的荣幸。

他说:'其实拍网络剧跟拍一般电视剧没有什么太大的分别,而且导演非常耐心,一一跟我解释每场戏应该怎么拍,并讲明他的要求,所以拍摄过程非常顺利。'

方展发也说,这是他接演过的角色中,最特别的其中之一,神秘人虽然贯穿全剧,但他的身份背景到故事最后才会揭晓,方展发觉得,这能制造出一种悬疑感。

他补充,神秘人将帮助每个故事里的主人翁发展他们潜在的艺术天分,激发他们对艺术的热忱,仿佛与观众一起见证每个人物的心灵成长。

从没考虑过当演员 

《心。艺》里5个不同故事的主人翁,原本对艺术从满好奇与渴望,却在成长过程中,因为种种因素被迫放弃对梦想的坚持与追求。不知在现实生活中,方展发有否放弃过任何梦想?

方展发告诉记者,其实当演员一直以来都不是他的首要理想。他揭露,起初开始演戏,只是为了'避难'。

'我小时候很顽皮,常常闯祸惹麻烦,为了逃离困境,躲过责罚,我只好演戏。比如打破花瓶时,或者害另一位小朋友跌倒受伤了,我就会假装不是我做的。'原来,装蒜也是非常考演技的。

此外,他从小就开始接触不同表演,因此演戏对他来说,是习惯成自然。

比如读幼稚园时,方展发常被拉上台唱儿歌,上小学时,还曾被指定演出一场情境戏。他在当中扮演一名在厕所里偷吸胶毒,后来被老师抓,通过这个故事告诫同学不要吸胶毒,之后中学时期还加入戏剧学会。

但如果不当演员,方展发会从事什么职业呢?

他简单答说,自己从来没考虑过这么多,所以小时候也没设定自己以后会做什么。

喜欢挑战人体极限 

方展发觉得,自己的职业也是一门艺术,因为演技讲究如何拿捏及诠释角色。虽然对艺术有兴趣,但方展发自认,自己是个好动的人。
他非常热爱运动,而且越具挑战性,越考验人体极限,他就越喜欢。

'我最近在学和气道,我38岁时才开始学独轮车,别人可能觉得很疯狂,但学了1年多之后,我完全爱上它。'

他补充:'下一次如果有机会,我想挑战跳伞。'

如此热爱运动,是因为运动能让他解压,释放情绪。他开玩笑地说,每当心情低落或压力大时,就会学电视剧里的主角那样,跑到海边,像个疯子一样大喊大叫。

说完,他马上又正经八百地表示:'我经常跑步和游泳,每次在运动时,我都会觉得所有烦恼好像都瞬间消失。'

如果连运动都行不通,他就只好什么都不管,好好睡一觉,醒来后,便什么都忘了。
