Namita Nayyar:
You are joining as a lead in the film “Legend of the White Dragon” that is currently in production. You are playing police officer ‘Lieutenant Tek Boh,’ role. Tell us more about this amazing and challenging assignment in your career?
Mayling Ng:
Bat in the Sun productions actually approached me for their first full length feature on Instagram as we have mutual friends and they had seen my prior work. They wrote the role with me in mind which always a blessing but I forwarded them to my team, lol, because I get many requests through Instagram but most of them are just talk. I was actually surprised when I looked up what they did previously, their fanbase is huge and the work is incredible and showcases the talent of director and creator Aaron Schoenke.
Once working on that production, they actually upgraded my role from Police Officer to Lieutenant and gave me double the dialogue a few days into filming, which is always a bonus and always makes you feel motivated to give your best.the set was a really fun and carefree experience with such a tight unit that felt like family, as everyone was so very giving and creative.
Namita Nayyar:
You are a Certified NRA License Pistol, Shotgun, Rifle, Certified Knife Defense Martial Arts: Black Belt Shaolin Kung Fu, Weapons: Kwan-Dao, Single Broadsword, Double-hand Broadsword, BO Staff, Nun Chucks, Spear. You are in a pursuit to master the virtuosity of Shaolin Kung Fu 18 Weapons currently certified in 9. Tell us more about this exceptionally physically challenging passion of yours?
Mayling Ng:
I would watch martial arts with Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and Jackie Chan as a kid. It was my dream to be in the Kumite. And then 15 years later, I’m standing there playing the villain in Hong Kong cinema. Some people like to run; some people like to go to the gym. The thing with weapons is it’s like a new skill, a new toy. And, the more that you learn, the more of a workout you get. It’s never boring. You’re always learning, always a student.. I don’t think you can ever master something – but as soon as I ‘have’ something down, I’m onin pursuit of my next challenge.
