Water Margin / flea on the drum (Behind the Scene)
( 繁 | 简 | 日 )Wednesday, Jan 13, 2010 5:45PM / Members only
Hello
I was filming a television feature 数字电影 in Wuxi during November last year. The show is called " Master of thief Zhi Cheng"神偷时迁. He was one of the outlaws in the Famous" Water Margin"水浒传 story in China. As some of you might be familiar with the Water margin story already. They are like Robin Hood back in the old days in Liang shan 梁山 (Liang Mountain ) region.
As for my character Zhi Cheng. People also called him "The Flea on the Drum" 鼓上蚤. Meaning he was so light-footed, he can land on a drum without making a sound. He was master at stealing, crawling on walls and roof tops. I really feel like a ninja and Indiana Jones playing this character.
As for the mission in the film. He was sent to steal a Gold plated Armor 雁翎甲 which was worn by Zhao Yuen 赵云 in the Three kingdoms period. The Armor was kept in the treasure room at a general's house.
So here I go...
Hmmm.. what's in the cage? Oh, the armor
how am I gonna get up there?
got shot by a boobie trap!!
Almost got it!!
Below are some Misc. Photos from the film.

Hello Y'all
The Brand new 2009 Johnny Walker TV commercial is out. A friend just told me they have seen it in Mainland and Taiwan. Taiwan has been airing them like crazy, he saw it at least 50 times on one channel per night.
Remember the one I've done couple years ago. It has five different episodes, The new one has two. it is a sequel to the last one, so the story actually continues..
Here are some behind the scene photos.
enjoy!!

hello
Last month, I did a film with Derrick Yee, a very talented director in Hong Kong. It was a great opportunity work with him. Daniel Wu was in the same film too. The last time me and Daniel worked on the same film was "2000 A.D" back in 1999, that was when we first met. Although we did "Heavenly Kings" together which was our own project. But we haven't worked on the same film for a long time. So as for Louis Koo. we did a film together back in '97 also. We didn't had a chance to film together till now.
Here is a little preview of one of my character in the film, I played two characters....

Volunteer work for Habitat Work Project.
( 繁 | 简 | 日 )Friday, Nov 27, 2009 8:14PM / Members only
hello all
I was very honored to become a volunteer to work for charity work project. The build project was organized by Habitat for Humanity. Nearly 3,000 Habitat for Humanity volunteers dedicated 166 homes in Thailand, Vietnam, China, Laos and Cambodia just within 2009. The houses were built or repaired as part of Habitat’s annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, where the former U.S. president and first lady helped raise awareness about the need for affordable housing and built homes in partnership with low-income earners.
I've learned about this foundation through my buddy Daniel Wu and 24 herbs. March this year, they volunteer to help re-build sichuan after the earth quake from last year. But I wasn't able to go cause of my filming work in Thailand. But this time, I will not miss my chance to do this charity work that is so meaningful.
Every time when a disaster hits, people around the world gather and donate money to a charity organization, or red cross, etc. I was one of them who always help out by donating money. Although I can not be a hundred percent sure where the money ends up afterwards. How many cash or materials will be given to the ones that needs them? I really don't know.
I always believe by doing actual work is the most meaningful and truthful way to help out. I got so much satisfaction from working hard, laying down each brick until we end up with a solid brick wall. This is actually what I've done this trip in Sichuan, China this time.
The work project took place at Qion Lai city in Sichuan last week. We were building 3 blocks of six stories apartments. Daniel wu, Lisa S. and Ken Wong was there for the build too. Four of us build for 2 1/2 days. I was so happy to see so many volunteers around the world helping out at the work project this time. There were 200+ volunteers working very hard trying to help families who can not afford to live in a normal home. While the last day we had the honored to be invited by habitat to have lunch with the former US president Jimmy Carter.

A happy memory.

My design on a Eames Elephant stool
( 繁 | 简 | 日 )Monday, Nov 23, 2009 10:06PM / Members only
Hello
Lately, I had a chance to do a design for a non-profit organization called (Ambassadors of Designs). They held an event named "Detour".
The Detour's project aims are,
-Arouse wider public interest in design and the hong kong design community.
- Encourage cross-disciplinary and cross-border dialogue between design professionals from East Asia and the world
-Show case young, emerging Hong Kong designers to the world media and visitors.
-Promote creativity amongst Hong kong students and youth through participation.
-Create a collective plateform and favourable environment for the dissemination of the studio-based design research and output.
A furniture store in Hong Kong "Aluminium" sponsored the Elephant stool designed by Ray Eames in the 50's and was never launched in the past until 2009. These elephant stools will be design by some art/design students, Hong Kong designers, architects, celebrities. Either to hand paint or attach sticker onto the Eames Elephants.
The resulting design will be exhibited in one of the Aluminium store in Hong Kong between December 3-9th 2009.
After the opening event, the individual pieces will be posted on the Detour website for "Bidding". The money will go back to Ambassadors of Design for future events.
I felt this event has a same goal as Alivenotdead. That was our(alive boys) idea on helping and promoting any creative artists around the world. And art/design is also one of the category amongst all the creative field.
So here is my design. (HALF an HALF) something that will represent our site. "Alive" not "Dead".
(hand painted with Acrylic paint)
Right side - Alive elephant
Left side- Dead elephant
enjoy!!
