Sandra Ng’s Journey: From Emotional Breakdowns to⁤ Award-Winning Performances

Overcoming Challenges in “Golden Rooster”

Sandra Ng shared her past acting experience in “The Do Show”. That year,‍ Sandra Ng won the​ Taiwan Golden Horse⁣ Award for Best Actress ‌for “Golden Rooster”. The film market had reached a low ⁢point, and her team suggested filming ⁢a comedy. This led to the idea of⁢ filming a ​story about a⁣ prostitute​ in‍ depth, and‌ thus the idea of ​​”Golden⁣ Rooster” was born. During‌ filming, Sandra Ng recalled‌ going to a small room to shoot a prostitution scene. A large number of extras were ⁤arranged to film a pick-up process ​using the “Mondochi” technique. Due to the low-cost production, filming took over ten hours a​ day in a hot and muggy ‍environment, requiring physical contact ⁢with various extras.⁢ Sandra Ng had an‌ emotional breakdown,⁣ crying​ bitterly ⁣as she felt⁣ her career as an actor was like receiving guests.

Award-Winning Performance in “Young and Dangerous: ‍The Thirteen Sisters ‌of Hongxing”

However, “Golden Rooster” is not Sandra Ng’s first⁢ award-winning film. In 1998, she won the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress for “Young and Dangerous: The Thirteen Sisters of ​Hongxing”. Sandra Ng pointed out that she never intentionally sought award-winning roles. The character of ⁣Thirteenth‌ Sister first appeared in 1997’s “Young and Dangerous 1997”. The director and screenwriter thought the role was good, so they started filming​ an independent film about Thirteenth Sister. Sandra Ng was unexpected, thinking that award-winning roles usually ⁣have heavy emotional ⁣scenes,‍ unlike Thirteen Girls.

Taking Risks in Experimental Film “Eve”

In addition to acting, Sandra ‌Ng fully‍ funded the filming of “Eve”, even selling property to transform and get out⁣ of her ‍comfort zone. Initially, a boss was willing to ⁤lend 4 million to start filming. ⁤However, the film⁢ seriously overran the budget, requiring 7 million. During filming, Sandra Ng raised ⁣money on ​the spot to complete the project.⁣ Unfortunately, “Eve” failed at​ the box office. Sandra Ng realized she had to learn how to distribute⁢ films. Although ⁣she didn’t‌ give up ⁣investing⁤ in movies, she became more cautious with her‌ investments.

“The‌ Love I Loved” will ‌be⁣ officially released on ⁢September 12.
