On the set of "平行上海" aka "Shanghai 2010"
Thursday, Jul 8, 2010 7:15PM / Members only
Here's an update about my latest project: "平行上海" (Ping Xing Shang Hai) aka "Shanghai 2010". It's an action/sci-fi short film (pilot episode) that we shot... well... in Shanghai!! :p平行上海 - (Ping Xing Shang Hai) means "Alternative Shanghai", Said is still working on the official english title, but I like to call it "Shanghai 2010" as a working title for now!~ :)Here's a list of people that worked on "平行上海" / "Shanghai 2010"Patrick KazuTang (Thailand, martial artist champion of France and actor of Raging Phoenix)SiYun Chan (Shanghai)Bert Feng (Shanghai)Good friend on set helping out: DJ B-KutCGI crew: RobertMaking of: SL YangPhotographer: ToddMake up: Minnie.ZWriter/Director/Editor: Zhou LeHere's some pictures that we took on the set!~ Enjoy!~So, my journey to Shanghai started with this....
On the plane, I read the script again in French, and again in English and again in chinese!! All this enjoying my Haagen-Dazs chocolate ice creamsss... And vanilla as well!! :p
From Hong Kong to Shanghai, I still had my fav cap with me!~Later that night, we met up and had dinner with other members of AnD, also based in Shanghai. Here's Zhou Le, Cyril, myself, Loan Trinh and Kazu (Thailand).The old streets of Shanghai...Zhou Le in action! You shoot, I shoot!~Ok, this is Kazu!! Yup... Right here!! :pStanding by with Kazu and giving a my hand for them to focus.ACTION!hit...and block!~and kick!!~ (Photo by sneaky DJ B-Kut!!)1.... 2... and 3....!!!
For fun!~ This shot is not in the actual film!~ hehe
Back to serious: Script reading and translating for the "Park" scene..On the set of the Moganshan Lu scene...SiYun is playing tricks on Zhou Le, which is busy reading his script and Kazu is dancing in the background... And I randomly took a picture of all this!! Weird team, really!! haha
Going through the scene of "Moganshan Lu".Myself, SiYun and Kazu, on the set of the "Moganshan Lu" scene. I noticed that I dont have much pictures with SiYun, and thats because we didnt film much together..Can anyone tell me what Kazu is doing, while Im reading my script?!? Hahaha"GOTCHA!!~"Explaining the scene to Bert, while Kazu and Siyun are rehearsing their fight choreography further back.Posing with my partner, Bert, on the set of "Shanghai 2010".Sometimes, I was my own sound man as well!!~ Just sometimes!!~ LOLMeeting room scene...
Discussing with Zhou Le and Robert (CGI) about this scene...Going through the "Meeting Room" scene with director Zhou Le. We had to make everything clear about this scene, since I'm acting against a "computer"....
And the computer failed to show up that day!!~So I had to improvise!! ;)Back to the old streets of Shanghai...
Finally, back on the old streets of Shanghai, we wanted to take some group pictures...Kazu and I decided to jump on 3, and DJ B-Kut noticed us so tried to follow, leaving Bert and Zhou Le posing normally!~ XDThis time, everyone jumped on 3... But DJ B-Kut missed the count!! And I thought DJ's would never miss a count!! LOL
Hahaha On this one, Kazu planned to play a trick on Zhou Le, who back up at the count of 2!! And I was just laughing so hard, I couldnt jump on this one!! hahahaZhou Le's revenge!! Pushing Kazu on 3!! haha Expecting something fishy, I decided to jump forward. And B-Kut was just too tired of jumping, so raised a leg and pretended it was martial art or something!!~ :pSince we werent able to take a "perfect-jumping-group-picture", I decided to steal it on this one!!~ Haha Noticed that Kazu is holding Zhou Le's cap in the air, while DJ B-Kut is still holding on to his leg!! At the end, we were all burnt out from the shoot... and all this jumping around... so we had to call it a day!
We decided to take some nicer group pictures at the studio! :)This one night, we finished early and we made it to the Bund for some casual pix and drinks nearby!~A bit foggy, but still recognizable!!~ Last time I was in Shanghai, was in 2001 during a student trip!! It was great to be back, especially for such a fun project and also for meeting new great friends!!~ I will def visit again soon!!~
Here's part of our team. Small team, maybe! But, strong team for sure!~ We hope to bring you a new action/sci-fi experience!! More stuff to be updated soon!!~Cheers and thanks for you support!!!~875 views Share

Monkey Gun
Thursday, Jun 3, 2010 4:00PM / Members only
Hi guys,
I'm sorry that I appeared to be hiding all this time. Actually, I worked on a few things here and there, but I wasn't able to talk about them at the moment.
Here's some still pictures of one of those projects. "Monkey Gun" was kept secret all this time!!
This time, I play the role of Red in "Monkey Gun". Written, directed and produced by Arne Venema, I knew this was going to be great fun to work on!! And this time, I had to wear a single red contact lens. I wasn't used to it and took me a painful 5 minutes to put it on the first time!! Haha
Ive met Joe F at last year's 48 Hour Film Festival in HK and have seen many of his work before. It was great to finally work with the awesome Joe F. FYI, we've had almost as much fun on the set than in the usual clubs we hand out at!! Hahaha
Here's the list of the people that worked on Monkey Gun:
Red - Mike Chan
Business Man - Joe Fiorello
News Announcer - Tony Sabine
Cinematographer - Jona Chung Dha Lam
Animation - Foon Wong
Additional Graphics - Emma Moosa
Music - Jelle "Distrikt" Hoebee
Writer, Director & Producer - Arne Venema
For more info, click the available links!!
Till next time, Cheers all!!~"
