A promotional event for the comedy film "Out of Order" was held in Changsha City, central China's Hunan Province, on Sunday, where veteran actor Kris Phillips, also known as Fei Xiang, expressed his satisfaction with his first foray into big-screen comedy.
"I've been to Changsha so many times, and I feel like the audience here is the most passionate in the country," he said during the event.
In the film, Phillips plays the role of a distinguished lawyer, Hu Gongping, who appears to be sophisticated but is actually a playful joker outside of work. Phillips said he was very pleased with the experience of playing Hu in the movie.
"When it comes to acting in comedy, I truly believe it's something you're born with, something that can't be learned. I'm not naturally that kind of actor. However, in the film, what I need to do is to act straightforward and get away from the chaos that arises from Hu Gongping and the people around him. And this actually creates a comedic contrast. This is my first attempt at a comedy film, and I'm not sure when I'll do another one. But I am particularly satisfied with this one after I watched the film," said Phillips.
The film was released on December 31, 2024 across China.
