Interview with Myolie Wu

R=Reporter M=Myolie

R= Can you tell us more about your character in “Tai Chi�?

M= I was born in a wealthy family, however at the beginning of the series, my parents were betrayed and died. After Vincent Zhao helped me attain revenge for my parents’ deaths, I fell in love with him. I was forced into a marriage and asked Vincent to run away with me, but he disagreed, not realizing that I loved him.

Afterwards, I got drunk and got into an accident, which caused me to lose my memory. Raymond Lam rescued me and while nursing me back to health, fell in love with me. I was very grateful to Raymond, but did not share the same feelings he had for me. In the series, I did not trick Raymond’s feelings for me! (laughs)

Slowly, I regained my memories and realized that the man I loved was Vincent. But Raymond continued to treat me very well, so I felt guilty towards him, but I continued to love Vincent.

My character delineates very clearly on love and hate and has a very strong personality. My character does not have ill-intentions, however in order to attain what I wanted (such as Vincent’s love), I may have hurt myself or other people in the process. However in real life, if someone did not return my feelings, I would not force the issue.

In this series, I feel that the audience will be able to see a new side of me. I have a lot of crying scenes in “Tai Chi.�

R= Raymond Lam also mentioned that he has a lot of crying scenes too.

M= We will cry together in many scenes! I asked the director whether he thought I had too many crying scenes, but he said that they were illustrative of my character’s emotions and that the audience should enjoy watching it! (laughs)

R= How were you able to immerse into character?

M= Although my character has her distinct qualities, keeping [the acting] within realistic realms is very important. I will normally observe the actors around me and then imagine how my character would react. I love to use my imagination skills and it gives me a sense of satisfaction.

R= Are there certain roles that you are looking forward to?

M= (Thinks for a long time….) I love acting in challenging roles; the more difficult the role is, the more I enjoy it. If I can act in a series speaking fully in Mandarin, that would be quite an accomplishment for me, as my Mandarin skills need improvement. Filming for “Tai Chi� has been a breakthrough for me [on many levels].

R= Can you elaborate more on the breakthroughs?

M= (laughs awkwardly for a long moment) In the series, I have [a bed scene] with Raymond Lam. However, before leading up to the scene, I already told him that I [only loved Vincent]. I told Raymond, “I have regained my memories and know who I am now. I remember who I have always loved, so you should…leave.�

Then I became drunk, but it was under the doing of another character, played by Kwok Ching Hung, who wanted to separate Vincent and Melissa Ng. Kwok plotted to have Vincent and I imbibed with alcohol, then leave us together in the same room. But Vincent wanted to vomit afterwards, so he left the room.

At this time, Raymond came back to look for me because he did not want to give up on our relationship yet. I thought Raymond was Vincent and kept crying out Vincent’s name…this was how the intimate scene with Raymond took place.

My entire back was exposed down to the waist level and with so many production crew members present, it was awkward for me to act drunk and let [Raymond] have his way…. But I am glad the scene was filmed beautifully (laughs).

In real life, if a man [slept] with a woman who called out another man’s name, he would feel deeply hurt inside. But he would still choose to be with her; this arrangement [in the series] reflects human tendencies. In most series, the script would not arrange the male character to be with the female character under such circumstances because he would be taking advantage of her, but “Tai Chi� persisted with this arrangement; it was a breakthrough in this respect.

R= How do you feel about working with Vincent Zhao for the first time?

M= I didn’t realize that he was such a playful person and likes to tell jokes. Partnering with him has been an honor and rare opportunity, since he is very popular in China. I also hope to film more in China, as there are many talented actors here, which will help increase my acting abilities to the next level.

R= How do you feel about recently winning an award in Next Magazine’s Top 10 TV Artists?

M= I am very happy to have received this award. Two years ago, I almost made the list too, but [lacked a few more votes]. This year, I finally won the award. I had 5 series broadcast last year; if I still didn’t get the award, then I would have been a failure. I am more at peace now because I can demonstrate results to TVB. I hope that I can receive awards with my hard efforts; awards ascertain your [recognition and acting abilities], so winning an award is a happy occasion.
