JAKARTA - Actor and director Baim Wong greeted Indonesian film lovers again through his latest work titled All Will Be Fine.
Unlike his previous works which were horror genre, this time Baim tried a family drama genre which was based on a true story and his personal experience.
This film is not messing around in terms of the cast. Baim managed to gather top-notch actors, ranging from Reza Rahadian, Christine Hakim, Raihaanun, Happy Salma, to young actor Ari Irham.
Bringing together a series of big names in one frame is not easy, admitted Baim. He revealed that every great actor has an ego and a different approach to acting.
"The big names with stars don't mean it's easy to bring them together. It's even more difficult to lure them because all the great actors have their own egos," said Baim Wong, quoted by VOI from a media broadcast, Junat, May 8.
For him, the key to directing these stars is a psychological approach so that they feel comfortable during the filming process.
"We have to know how to read their psychology so that they are comfortable without feeling disturbed," he added.
One of the surprises in this film is the presence of the legendary bodybuilder, Ade Rai, who for the first time tried the world of acting on the big screen. Baim tells a touching story behind Ade Rai's involvement.
According to Baim, Ade Rai gave the maximum performance without thinking about the material. In fact, when asked about the payment, Ade Rai refused.
"He gave the best performance for the quality of the film, but when asked about the payment, he refused because he did it entirely for friendship. From there I learned that kindness is not made up. Everything comes from the heart," recalled Baim.
The film All Will Be Fine promises a story that is very close to the lives of people today. Baim emphasized that the emotional conflict built will provide an in-depth experience without excessive exploitative impressions.
"This is very related to life now. Many say that Alim (the character in the film) will be exploited, but in fact Alim's acting is really great," he explained.
This film is scheduled to be released simultaneously in cinemas starting May 13. Through this work, Baim Wong hopes that viewers can learn valuable lessons about the power of family and sincerity.
"Hopefully this film can be useful for everyone and keep us motivated to solve problems. In the end, everything will go back to the family," concluded Baim.
