Release Of Album Coincided With TVB Anniversary, Myolie Wu Only Had An Hour Of Sleep [Source: MyPaper (Singapore)]

Last November, Myolie Wu released her debut album, Evolve. Although the results were pretty good and she also won quite a number of newcomer awards at various HK music award ceremonies, she said that filming dramas during the release of her album period made her feel pretty weary.

During the last weekend, Myolie arrived in Singapore to do promotions. When talking about her experience of releasing an album, she said, "Last November and December were the most taxing. Because in November, there were many jobs during the TVB Anniversary period. I also had to do album promotions, and film a drama, Chau Heung Angers Tong Bak Fu. In December, I even went to Macau to hold a mini-concert. So everyday was very busy. I didn't have time to take a decent meal or have adequate sleep. During mealtimes, I need to rehearse for my dance in the TVB Anniversary. As for sleep, I only had an hour."

A self-confessed workaholic, Myolie Wu pointed out that being a singer made her learn many things, "I've always liked singing. This time, from choosing songs, to designing the image, to promotions, all these were very good experiences for me. After all, acting is all about being someone else, while singing is started from myself."

But she also said that there was quite a lot of pressure, "I've been in this industry for 9 years, and left a deep impression of my acting image on everyone. I've never thought that everyone would welcome and accept me as a singer, so this gave me a lot of encouragement."

Since the release of the album, Myolie Wu has not asked about the sales figure, but she said, "The company must have felt that the sales are pretty good, so we're preparing for the next album now. If this album hasn't been selling well, I think the company would not be so silly to invest money into producing albums for me, haha!"

Acting As 'Martial Artist Chau Heung', She Was Being Complimented As Having Talent
Myolie Wu has just finished filming 'Chau Heung Angers Tong Bak Fu' with Moses Chan, Fala Chen and many others. She's acting as Chau Heung, who's adept in martial arts. Having to display martial arts skills in there, she said, "Before the filming started, I did take up some lessons, like the leg kicks etc. I'm quite fond of doing action scenes. Everyone complimented that I have talent and that I'm stylish/cool. I'm very happy."

As for whether she's worried that people will take Gong Li's portrayal of Chau Heung in Stephen Chow's movie to compare with hers, she laughed and said, "She's my idol, and is gorgeous. We can't be compared at all."

So far, there are sources that mention that the WOIL series, after going through the ancient and modern times, will be having the final installment on vampires. Myolie Wu said that she hasn't received confirmed news about this yet, "I've heard of it, but I'm not very sure. Of course I hope for another cooperation, because I feel happy during each cooperation. But have to see if the theme is suitable. I don't wish to film out bad things, and spoil our golden reputation, haha!"

How I wish there is a sequel for WOIL with the same cast.

Thanks for the translation!!

Yes I agree if vampires is a suitable theme...

psycho!! support support! haha.. Thanks for translating the news!

After watching Twilight, haha.. if the theme for woil 3 is on vampires, i would love it too! haha

''.....If this album hasn't been selling well, I think the company would not be so silly to invest money into producing albums for me, haha!"

especially during these ecomonic climate

If the theme for WOIL3 is on vampires, I'll go crazy over it. Hahaha. I so miss dramas related to vampires! The My Date With A Vampire series is so classic. I love that. And I'm currently rewatching that! Hahaha. They should should should film it!

I'll be glad if there is WOIL 3 but still prefer that they do some thing new with the main cast, something serious or dramatic would be cool.

Thanks for the long translations!

I'm still 50/50 about WOIL3... it might turn out a success if the script is right, but it can also turn out terribly wrong and ruin the WOIL series...

thanks for the translations.
