Here I was all excited to post some photos from Pusan on the blog and I can't figure out how to do it properly. So I'm stuck with a text only blog. Terence, can you drop me an e-mail on how to do it again?
Anyway, Pusan was great. The THK screening was fully packed and the Q&A session had some really interesting questions for me. Thanks to those of you who showed up there! I was also able to see Ming Ming, the film I did with Zhou Xun. It's a beautifully shot film with really great music done by Anthony Wong. It is a really different, non-mainstream type of film, it's not for everybody but I liked it a lot.
I was also able to meet up with a my university friend Robert. I went to a wet market with him and his wife and we had fresh Sashimi!
Anyone see the Korean movie Oldboy? I had fresh octopus that was still moving when I ate it. Sounds disgusting but when it comes to food, I will try anything except stinly tofu and durian. After dinner we went to the beach and shot off some fireworks. Pusan is a really beautiful city right on the water. The festival carries a really great atmosphere because of this. The beach is full of people until three or four in the morning.
I am back in Shanghai working now. I've got a pretty bad sore throat but I still have to work...bummer! Well, at least by December I'll have lots of time off.
Will be heading off to Tokyo on the 23rd for the Tokyo International Film Festival. Andrew will be there as well as Kim Chan and Phat Chan. They are the ones who opereated the cameras and edited THK. I'm really glad they are getting a chance to enjoy some of the limelight too because they really did all the hard work for THK. Unfortunately Terence and Conroy can't make it because of prior commitments.
After Tokyo, I get to go back to HK for a day then it's back up to Shanghai to finish off Blood Brothers. Hopefully by then I can get these photos uploaded!

|我很興奮地想把在釜山拍的一些照片貼上部落格,但我就是做不來,所以我只能光寫字。子維,你能不能通過電郵再教我一次該怎麼做﹖
不管怎麼說,釜山還是正!〝四大天王〞試映爆滿,答問座談會上的一些問題對我來說也很有趣。謝謝影迷們的出席!同時也看了Ming Ming,是我和周迅合作的电影。這部電影拍得真美和有Anthony Wong的靚音樂。真的感覺很不同,是非主流的電影,未必適合每個人,但我個人很喜歡。
我還跟我以前大學同學Robert見了面,我跟他和他太太一起到市場去買新鮮魚生!有誰看過韓片Oldboy﹖我在吃生章魚時,牠還會動呢!聽起來好像很噁心,但除了臭豆腐和榴槤,我什麼都可以一試。晚飯過後,我們一起去海邊放煙花。釜山真的是水濱的漂亮城市,因有電影節,而令城中氣氛更出色。海灘上到處都是人,直熱鬧到凌晨的三四點。
我現在已經回上海工作了。我雖然喉嚨痛,可我還是得工作……倒霉。不過,十二月我會有幾天休息,會在23日到東京參加東京的國際電影節,連凱也會去,還有Kim Chan和Phat Chan。他們是「四大天王」的攝影師和剪接師。我真的很高興他們能分享一些注目,因為他們真的為「四大天王」付出了辛苦的工作。
可惜子維和子聰不能一起去,因為他們已經安排了要做其他的事。
東京之後,我會回香港一天,之後再回上海為「Blood Brothers」(天堂哭)埋尾。希望到時能將一些照片貼上網!
