So tired!!! Sometimes I wonder why I ever even think about doing this movie thing!!! It's so stressful with everything forever in flux....

Well, Sliver Medalist is now in post production but that baby is not longer officially linked with me...thank you CFG....

One is being shot now in HK...a pretty big action film with Benny...but that one is on auto controlled as well. So not much stress there.

The next one I am setting up now is a pain....everyday we have hope that it will move forward...however, the next day...there's always another pain in the xss problem that will scuttle the whole project...

Tired and stressed out. No way I am going to do this forever...I think if I am lucky to have a few of these projects under my belt, I will quit while I am ahead...go make pizza or something for the rest of my life.

Meantime, it's good to be in HK...warm and humid!!! Beijing is crazy cold and dry.....yuck...and it's good to see friends here...

Well, happy holidays and hope this next project will fly...

Time goes by fast. Can't believe it's been 2 years and three BBQs! WoW!

Now back and forth between Xiamen and Beijing. Xiamen airline is actually decent. Alas, it's a pain to get a FFM card from Chinese airline. Well...seafood is fantastic in Xiamen. Of course the stir fry rice noodle..there is a small mom and pop stand outside our military inn...we are now regulars...the wife does a better job doing the noodles than the husband I must say.

Well, try to go to the beach next week. Maybe take some pictures as well.

Second day in Xiamen. Slept only 3 hours last night. We are staying at a military inn. At best a two stars.

Half way through the night...like around 4AM..the air conditioning went out...and the mosquitos started their run around my ears....

try to cover my face with a shirt but it was sweating hot....

Couldn't go back to sleep...and at six or seven, this senior tour group staying at the same floor was up and talking really loud.

Then construction next to the inn started....LOL

Oh well.

Xiamen is nice though. Blue blue sky. HOT! I am so happy because there is sun and no pollution.

Seafood is great! Fruits are great!

Well, as for work..we are 25 days countdown to start. Lots to do but as in everything in this biz...lots of hurry up and wait.

There are some great looking vintage streets here in Xiamen. I will upload photos when I can connect my phone to the laptop.

Good friend of mine...Hugo is having a show this weekend here in Beijing. Hugo is quite the photographer. His last exhibit was recetnly showcased in Shanghai.

Hugo likes to work with current local Beijing artists.

Sometimes I wonder. Am I here to make movie or to make money. I think now that I am older...but not wiser, I finally realized that I have no idea how to make money...let alone save money...

Yea...big problem!

But I think I know a little bit about making movies. So I suppose I should just stick to it.

Making Chinese movies for the Chinese audience. Movies that are fun or entertaining! That's a brand new idea here!!! Deus forbids audience should be entertained in a Chinese film...hehe

Let's see how it will work out.
