Vincent Lee : My Reelity

The principal shoot of the movie was finally finished and I was invited to an informal wrap party at the director’s abode.

Director Eng Tiong, wearing a Ed Wood tshirt kekeke.

I think its by no mean feat that they have finished on schedule, even with numerous delays caused by the bad weather in April. Kudos to ET and the rest of the crew!

Hmm, looks like ET has a sashimi craving kekeke

Its my first wrap party, and though it wasn’t the wild party that I have imagined, I think everyone did had a good time, judging from all the merry making around me. We also happened to chance upon Louis on screen as he appeared on the telly for some chinese drama series that was currently showing. No wonder he left earlier, hehehe.

A couple of pics with the stars of the movie!

We didn’t get to see any rushes, which was quite a bummer for me. But ET did say he’ll invite me to the premier, which is definitely something to look forward to! ^.^

But don’t feel any wiser.

Its been the first time in quite a few years I’ve worked on my birthday. It was not planned for, a client called me in the mornining and insisted on bringing forward the start date of the project due to some “emergency”. I wasn’t very happy with the client because its not a particularly high paying project and the “emergency” was all of his doing. Nevertheless, poor struggling actor me will have to ‘look the colour of other’s people’s face’ (看人家的脸色) at this juncture, so I grudgingly went and do it.

Older liow. I think this is the first time I’ve really felt older. As I reviewed the injuries I’ve sustained recently and the longer recuperation process it took, I cannot help but feel older. And at this point in my life, I’m quite ashamed to say that I have not much to show for in my life. No career, no assets, unlike the most of my peers. All I have is a dream. And a seemingly fading one at that.

I’ve been told I’m brave, but nowadays, only by my younger friends. My peers used to call me “brave” as well, but they don’t use that term so often these days. If I do meet them, they will ask if I’m still doing the same thing, and how long will I keep at it. You kinda know what they are getting at. And yes, its only brave when I succeed. If not, its just plain foolish.

Older liow. I can only hope I’ll be wiser and not appear so foolish soon.

Due to the bad weather, I had to go back again another day to finish up my scenes. It just happens that this week I was starting on another project, so its kinda disruptive to adjust my schedule to fit the shoot.

My major scenes were being shot today, so naturally I was a bit more psyched up, even though in all honesty, how major can a minor character’s role be? We shot the more physically demanding one first, which had me sprinting down the length of a HDB corridor at full speed.

I think when it came down to my character’s actual big scene, I may have been a tad too tired, having run down the corridor at full gallop several times. I can’t say I was particularly pleased with what I have done, but the director seemed ok with it. Of course, due to the fact that the production was already over-running like crazy, he may have bigger things to worry about than to tweak the performance of a minor character. Hopefully, it all turns out well…

In between takes, I chatted with another actor, Louis…

Me, Louis and Fish.

Louis have been acting for about 10 years. He’ll prolly look familiar to some of you, having done numerous TCS 8 productions as well as having a regular stint in one of the variety program show thingy for six years. He was also a delight to have around the set as he’s always up to some antics to entertain us and always blanjiaing (treating) us to delicious snacks from time to time.

He was also the one who taught me to fall down from a squatting position and was always glad to give us lesss experienced actors pointers on the set. He’s no longer actig full time though, so I had to ask him how come he decide to seemingly give it all up.

Porn movie now showing at a cinema near you!!

Boy Eats Girl

Wahahaha!

Was gonna blog about Day 4, but after the “torture” I had, I think I’m gonna take a break first.  It was simply the most painful massage session. Evar. As I’m writing this, I’m still feeling the blood flow back to the blocked veins caused by excessive clenching.
But I did find out one thing about myself. Even under extreme pain, I kept quite quite. Dammit, have I become more stoical? o.O
