[Part Two] Exclusive Interview Of Myolie - "Tough on the outside; But innermost feelings filled with fear"
Tuesday, September 09, 2008
I'm a little emotional. When I meet with some problems, I can't deceive myself and say that this person is very good! I won't be able to get along well in all kinds of social situations.How's it like in a big family like TVB? "In an environment where there's a lot of people, must know how to get along with the others. When I was younger (She's now 28), I would argue with the director. Thinking back now, I might not be right. I don't wish to have any unhappiness with any directors." Myolie recalled: "It's rumored that a few years ago, when Francis Ng was filming TITS and attended a radio interview, he said that there was a new actress then whom was now successfully promoted up there, and doesn't need any acting skills. Just having interpersonal relations will do. Everyone thought that it was me. If you're an actress, you need to have at least some relationships. So I thought, I will need some relations too." Looks like she is still bothered about that matter, but she's clear that artistes must have some relations.
"I'm a little emotional. When I meet with some problems, I can't deceive myself and say that this person is very good! I won't be able to get along well in all kinds of social situations. There was once when I was filming an ad, the hairstylist should have prepared the hair-set herself, but instead she wanted to borrow from me. After that, I had the experience and prepared everything myself. If I'm unhappy, it'll be written all over my face, like if the photo taken isn't beautiful. There are many things which are out of my control. My manager told me to be more forgiving and be happier. For instance, there was a period that whenever there were negative news, the reporters would pester me continually and kept on writing on it. Don't they feel that I've something positive to write about too? If only by looking at what they had written, I would feel that I'm such a failure. People will want to bring out the worst in me, so I seldom do exclusive interviews."
"A few years ago, Gallen and I had scenes together. I was portraying a mentally-challenged role. Initially I wasn't really used to it, but he's a very good actor. A few years later, I'm acting as his girlfriend. There's some pressure. I don't want him to feel that I've no improvements at all. Improvement is certainly very important."
In life, the most important thing is to be happy. If I've to sacrifice so much in order to get to this position, I rather not have it. I only want to have happiness.
"Ever thought of being Best Actress in movies?" I asked. "Movies?" Myolie's response was like she never thought of filming movies before: "When I was young, I did. After being in the tv screen for 9 years, I stopped thinking about this far-fetched things. In life, the most important thing is to be happy. If I've to sacrifice so much in order to get to this position, I rather not have it. I only want to have happiness. In the past, when I filmed dramas, I wouldn't celebrate my birthday. My eldest sister said that I had no life, and had become a set of machine.""For work, remember the show where I was a fat girl? First, I had to put on ten over kilograms, and then had to lose all those weight. Then I forced myself to eat. I ate until I didn't feel like eating already, and still had to drink milk powder. Pinkish like a mud ball, very unappetizing. After that I finally was fat. Both of my legs originally could not stick together, but one day, there wasn't any hole in between. My weight was alredy 64kg, and then 69kg. With my height of 169cm, that's already very fat. I'm willing to put on weight, because if I didn't, there's no female lead for me to act in. So let all the audience watched me do this task, I can't fail." Myolie's fighting spirit is very strong, and this is required in this acting line.
"After that I did self-therapy: be happier, finish eating and go to sleep. After being fat for half a year, I went to the slimming company and work out, I won't snitch on food." No matter what everyone says, she still has that firmness and competitiveness.
When I was 16-17, I had another boyfriend. Each time I transited at London, he would come to receive me, allowing me to have a feeling of being taken care of for the first time. He even gave me a bank card where I could withdraw one pound every time.
Talking about marriage and love, that's not her most important: "When Eldest Sis got married, she even invited my mother's stepchildren. Now, my step-father is down with an illness, so looking at my mother, I feel pity for her. She still needs to take care of my maternal grandmother who has inconvenience of moving about. Later, Grandma passed away, and she still need to look after her husband. Her family problems were never-ending. I really want to take her out for a holiday tour, but she couldn't afford the time out. The divorce back then was initiated by my mother, so when I was young, I always felt that I won't get married. When I grew up, I wanted to get married, and hope to find a suitable half. What I hope most is that both of us love each other. I don't mind if either of us are working to support the family. I hope to have my own children, and he helps to change the diapers." Myolie's dream is very beautiful: "When I was young, I already like guys a lot. When I was in kindergarten, I already held hands with a very cute boy for ten over days. When I was in Secondary 2, I also dated before, but because our personalities clashed, we broke up. I wrote him a letter saying that I wasn't trying to ditch him, don't be too unhappy. When I was 16-17, I had another boyfriend. Each time I transited at London, he would come to receive me, allowing me to have a feeling of being taken care of for the first time. He even gave me a bank card where I could withdraw one pound every time. Both of us often wrote letters to each other and all it took was a day for the letters to reach the other party. The contents were the same as our phone conversation. After that I returned to HK to work, so I told him 'since we're now in two different places, why not break up? we're still good friends.'. He broke down."
"Marriage, both parties have to be both financially stable and psychologically matured. In that way, (we) can then face a brand new life." Myolie's still very career-minded, "In TVB, Producer Tommy Leung is someone who understands me well and shares the same views as me. In addition, I'm going to release an album soon. I've attended a year of soprano's classes. Really want to have my own concert. Being an artiste is very tiring. Within 10 minutes, I can sleep soundly already."
Myolie Wu is still in the midst of striving for success. Although she always play the silly and naive roles, in this conversation, I discover that she's not a single bit silly or naive. A little pessimistic. Doesn't believe in luck. But she won't lose.
