Filming in Beijing
Sunday, January 11, 2009
Miriam is filming "Ji Xiao Lan 4" in Beijing now and is playing a swordswoman with high martial arts skills. Her co-stars are Zhang Guoli, Zhang Tielin and Wang Gang, whose dramas received high ratings when telecasted in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. This drama was appointed to be broadcasted by TVB's Run Run Shaw himself. Miriam also hopes to open the China market with this drama.
As the weather is very cold in Beijng, about -10 degrees, Miriam shivered in cold in the 14 hours of work daily. She said, "It' really more tiring than singing. I'm a swordswoman in the show so will have to fight all day. I've tried using a water pot as weapon, but the water turned into ice strips when they flown out. I slipped and fell because the whole floor was spilt with ice. My foot was sprained and hands were scratched."
Miriam said she has been learning boxing and is therefore agile and flying kick is not a problem. In the cold weather, Miriam sticked thermal packs all over her body, "Luckily the costumes are big and loose so I can wear many layers of clothes underneath." She revealed that she'll be going to Japan later for promoting skin care products.Right after "JSG Awards Presentation", Miriam had to go Beijing the next day for filming. Some said she was supposed to go on JSG's programme with other award-winning singers, but was absent because she's afraid to be booed by Joey's fans. Miriam responded, "This is definitely a misunderstanding. I had been trying to work out my schedule to attend but the team in Beijing said the booking of the studio couldn't be changed and we have to finish filming by deadline. I definitely wasn't afraid or avoiding anyone."
Miriam doesn't believe that Joey's fans will booed her, "If travelled such long distance to booed me, I should also be touched. As what Mr Lai(Leon) said, voices no matter in what forms, are still a form of support."
