The big banana in China. part 1.

I have one week left on the untitled film project. I think 1 and a half day of shoot and 2 voice over days. And then back to Vancouver I go.

I'll be starting shoot in mid June on a TV series titled JPod based on the best selling book by Douglas Coupland ( who also wrote and coined the term Generation X) . Who also wrote 'Everything's Gone Green' a film that is right now out in theatres.

I'll be sad to leave China. What a trip this has been. It's my first time to Beijing. Hopefully not my last as I've grown quite fond of the place. Although still dismayed by the constant spitting. Yes I discovered I am a big big big banana. I am for the most part okay with this epiphany. I think.

More soon. S*

Wish I'd gone to this school.

Oh, the constant spitting! I didn't notice it that much when I went to Beijing but I went during the winter and was too busy focusing on the fact that my hands were freezing, and I had to film the whole thing. But when I was in Guangzhou, I remember seeing this one guy ready to spit, then he sees me, and decides to be polite by shielding his mouth as he spat - not impressed mate!

It's alright -- I've lived in China for a while and even I (and my younger Chinese friends) are really annoyed by the public spitting, too. I'm not sure if you've got to travel to other cities around China, but there's definitely alot of interesting cities to see - kinda like visiting the U.S., but only seeing L.A....

Voted “Sexiest Woman in the World 2006” by Asian FHM magazine readers, Steph Song is, ironically, a staunch disciple of hard work, not hard bodies.

After attaining a double degree in Journalism and Nursing, she embarked on a meteoric ascent in a career in front of the camera.

Moving to Singapore in August 2002, she became the leading actress of English TV drama projects such as “First Touch”, “Concerto for a Bus Driver”, “Heartlanders”, “Love Poetry”, “Six Weeks”, and “Singapore Short Stories” - winner of Best Drama at the 2004 ATV Awards.

In 2003, Steph set a new standard with her role in the sitcom “Achar!”. The series was the breakout comedy of the year and went on to win second prize at the New York International Television Festival 2005 behind NBC’s “Frasier”. The series has since been broadcast in 10 countries, including Australia and the US.

In 2005, Steph returned to Canada in her breakthrough lead role opposite Paulo Costanzo (NBC’s “Joey”) in “Everything’s Gone Green”. “EGG” premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival 2006 and is the winner of Best Canadian Film at the Vancouver and Edmonton Film Festivals. It was also in Official Selection at the Pusan and South by Southwest International Film Festivals. It premieres in the USA in April 2007.

She appears alongside Jet Li and Jason Statham in the action film, “War”, set for worldwide release in September 2007.

She has the female lead role opposite legendary HK actor Eric Tsang in CBC’s gritty “Dragon Boys”. Steph learnt Cambodian from scratch for the role and now adds it to her list of English, Hokkien and Spanish.

Steph is a new breed of Asian actress. Eastern looks and soul, combined with the feistiness and dedication to the craft born in the West. Once quoted as saying she’d “eat a homeless dwarf’s toenails to work with David Lynch”, she is not without humility or humour.
