Feels Good Screaming at Anthony Wong !

OH
Haven't been so busy for a while now
This week has been CRAZY CRAZY.....
Apart from filming, I did a photoshoot for mag cover,
another shoot with Wing, Sean k and Alvin.....oh...the pics are awesome!!
can't wait to see the final pic which will be showcased in an exhibition early next month
Rozy and I attended a few events this week, including UNDERCOVER party last night.
Jun Takahashi who hasn't been in HK for 2 years demostrated his doll making skills live.
We finally found time to catch up with this genius designer!
Mainly, this week, I was busy filming ! I'd like to share some thoughts about this movie~
The moment I knew I was acting with ANTHONY WONG, I was excited, stressed and nervous all at the same time. I was excited and honoured to have this opportunity to work with this experienced and talented actor whom I have always admired. Nervous cuz I'm worried I ain't good enough and he'll be pissed with me..... So the moment I started reading my scrīpt, I was imagining doing each scene with him, how'd he'll do it...how should I do my part...
Well, this is a very challenging role for me cuz i'm acting as a china woman pregnant with twins and has a 2 year old daughter, very rude, loud, uneducated, widow, strong willed, lonely, poor......wow...long list ! I watched so many movies, saw so many videos on youtube on child delivery, interviewed my pregnant friends... etc. I devised a certain way i wanna play my role, made notes on my scrīpt.
The 2nd day of filming, I had a whole day of so many scenes with Anthony Wong, long long dialogues even he questioned the director if he's day dreaming to wanna finish so many scenes in a day,.
During our rehearsal, I read my lines without looking at my scrīpt and right there, I felt the chemistry between Anthony and I. The tension and the energy for the scene was right there! Him sensing my seriousness, he gave me tips, commented after each take and even taught me ways to be more 'into' my character.
Most of my scenes with him, I'm loud and complaining and arguing with him but he's got to put up with me cuz he's trying to get me to buy insurance from him with the insurance money I received from my deceased husband. ( not too confusing i hope)
There was a scene where we were in my house, Anthony, my 2 year old daughter and I. My daughter was crying so hysterically, I was trying to feed her porridge while Anthony was trying to sell me insurance. It was so noisy and loud and I'm doing all these things all at the same time while saying my lines too. It was wasn't a short scene and .......
JUST ONE TAKE ! wow! I was amazed at how artistic the director Herman Yau is. Normally, directors want things to be 'perfect'. But when it's too perfect, you lack the 'realness' to it and that scene was so real, so natural !!! And Herman doesn't say 'CUT' right after we say all our lines. We get to improvise and 'add lip', this is a bonus for both the actors and the director. God ! So cool! I fell deeper in love with movie making. ooohh!!! and we finished all the scenes we had to do by 6pm !!! Apart from the whole awesome crew, this ain't possible without this unusual director and most of all, the credit goes to the super talented and experienced actor Mr Anthony Wong.
RESPECT!I got permission to share some pics from the set with you !!! ha ha ha.
hope you'll like it, see the other Race you don't normally see, no makeup, angry, desperate, sad.....
Peace ! Have a great Sunday ! Day off for me! Yay!!!

The Pause Button

Dear Mark,
Thank you for sharing music with me. I love that song and as you've mentioned, a performer sings a song with a different attitude at different stages of her life. When we listen to music, though it might be the exact same song, same version, it evokes different feelings when you listen to them.....especially when you grow older, you tend to understand the lyrics more....
I have been posting so much of my travel pics and though I have more coming, I guess it's time to jump back into more serious stuff like.....WORK.
Please do not be mistaken, I seriously think that as a performer, our thoughts, mind, body are the most important tool for our line of work. Therefore, traveling, music appreciation, enjoying life, going through hell, they are essential as we need all these experiences! If you get what I mean. As an actress, we need to take good care of our body and health as well as we can and i think this is something many people don't care much about. Especially when you have a job coming up, you gotta be prepared, mind and soul.
Since my contract ended with my ex company last year, while working on a few projects, I had the freedom I have never had when I was with my ex company. So i made good use of the time to do things I've always wanted to do and never found time, my favourite hobby-which is traveling. haha
And now, it's time to put this freedom on hold cuz I have just signed on to a new company recently.Tomorrow, I'm gonna start filming my new movie. This is exciting and challenging for me cuz apart from being a Mainland woman pregnant with twins and has a four year old son coming to HK to fight for her residence rights and insurance money from her deceased husband, I'm going to star opposite a very very good actor, Anthony Wong.
I'll been doing a lot of homework for my role.
Wish me luck.
I'll be posting more pics from the set. : )
and please share good music with me anytime you come across one...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY !!
Many times, i wonder..
wonder what I've done in my past life to deserve this wonderful life you've given me...seriously
when i was much younger, daddy would always say
"if only you could be half as good as your mum when you grow up dear daughter"
i just thought he was exaggerating..
whenever i feel depressed or lost, simply talking to you, hearing your voice over the phone, or even writing to you..
injected me with the strength to be positive & strong, to straighten my head and see things with a clearer mind
you make me feel i'm never alone
which is so important !
Another important thing is
no matter what we do to upset you....
you still take care of our babies for us !
mum
you amaze me with your Super Mother Power each and every single day..
I will work hard to be half as good as you are Mummy!
Exactly a year ago, we celebrated your birthday in Hokkaido as a family
May we stay strong and united as a family forever
i thought about what to get you that will mean something for such a special birthday this year.....
remember i took you to the gallery and tried to persuade you to buy the painting?
instead of buying it, you and daddy took me to the art store and bought the whole set of oil painting stuff, including the adjustable stand for me and told me i could paint just as well as the painting i wanted you to buy though i've never done oil painting before
my first oil painting, i drew a strong & bright red tree
it represents you mum!
Now thats this painting's your present, please leave it hanging in the living room and not put it in the storeroom pleazzzee....
Happy Birthday Mummy,
May you and Daddy enjoy your next sweet 50 years
i will give up my life for you too mummy
and a million times over
