Curiosità

The Lyricist Wannabe is a 2023 Hong Kong drama film directed and written by Norris Wong and starring Chung Suet Ying, Eric Kot, Anson Chan, Amy Tang, Sabrina Ng, Chu Pak Hong, Ernest Poon and Yukki Tai in lead roles. The film is the first motion picture to be about Cantopop lyric writing, with Chung taking on the lead and titular role as a student with frustrated aspirations to become a lyricist.

Production

In 2019, director and writer Norris Wong conceived the idea of producing a film about lyric writing during the premiere of her previous romance film project, My Prince Edward, when she was asked about composing the lyrics for the film's theme song herself. Intrigued by the notion, she shared the story concept with Wong Hoi, a frequent collaborator, and together they decided to produce the film as an independent project funded by themselves.

The film was originally titled "填詞撚" in Chinese, but due to the homophonic pronunciation of the word "撚" with a Cantonese profanity, it could not be broadcast or displayed on public posters in Hong Kong. As a result, the production crew decided to rename the film as "填詞L" before its premiere at the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival in September 2023.

The Lyricist Wannabe is a semi-autobiographical film, and the first motion picture centered around Cantopop lyric writing. Norris Wong penned the screenplay based on her autobiographical novel written in 2013, which chronicled her pursuit of dreams to become a lyricist. The film is divided into seven chapters, each representing a stage in the protagonist's journey towards her dream.

In December 2022, Chung Suet Ying was reported to be attached to the project as the lead actress. In March 2023, Eric Kot, Amy Tang, and Sabrina Ng were cast in leading roles, while Chu Pak Hong, Jessey Tsang, and Taiwanese actor Oscar Chiu were announced to have cameo appearances in the film. In September 2023, Anson Chan, Ernest Poon, Yukki Tai, Tony Wu, Sheena Chan, and Jeannie Ng were announced to be part of the cast.

Norris Wong had a preference for casting actors with music backgrounds in the film. She handpicked Chung Suet Ying, who is a real-life lyricist, during the early stages of production due to the resemblance in their vibes and life experiences to the protagonist Law Wing Sze. Chung immediately agreed upon Wong's invitation, as she had a strong interest in the idea of filming a lyric writing-themed movie.
