Frankly, the Hong Kong film industry doesn’t want white people around. That’s why there are none. If you look at the industry in the 10-15 years I’ve been here, how many other white guys have there been? Maybe a couple, not many.

HKMagazine's memorable interview quotes over the years
- “Hong Kong is like a hotel to most people, not a home. Everyone fled with their cash before 1997, came back again when Hong Kong looked fine and fled with their cash again when SARS broke out.” - Jackie Chan, martial arts star.
- “I used to love Hong Kong. I had hopes for it, and that’s why I was constantly critical. Now I just hate it. I look at the younger generation, young couples hugging teddy bears in the street—what hope do we have?” - Anthony Wong, actor.
- “One day when I was skateboarding, a fat man in short pants asked me if I wanted to be an actor. I refused. It was a time when a lot of ‘model scouts’ were trying to rip off wannabes. This guy looked worst than most. It was Fruit Chan.” - Sam Lee, actor.

ReplyDelete"It's good if we can get a chance to go there and experience what filming is like there. But if there's nothing suitable, we shouldn't force ourselves to take on any role just so we can be in Hollywood."
Zhang Ziyi should have had that thought before she signed for "Memoirs of a Geisha".
Was Geisha that bad? I still haven't gotten to it in my pile yet. :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't think Geisha was THAT bad, certainly less confusing than her "Raccoon Princess" (Operetta Tanuki Goten).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, did you see the websites for Jen Tse Ting Ting's new movie, "Naked Soldier"?
