10 Comments » I am kind of dreading seeing myself on the big screen. I think I look weird and I think I’m not a very convincing pregnant teacher. But I can’t deny being somewhat excited because it’s going to be the first time I get to watch myself in the cinema.
I’m talking about I Not Stupid Too, the new Jack Neo movie that’s supposed to hit the screens this month.
Some weeks ago, I was called back to do a voiceover for a scene that had already been shot. Jack was there to supervise the recording and the first thing he said to me when he saw me was: “哇!原来你这么年青的啊!” (Loosely translated: “Didn’t know you were so young”.)
Haha. That was hilarious. I guess it was the dressing.
Because he was so used to seeing me bespectacled and pregnant like in picture 1, I think he was surprised when I turned up at the recording studio looking like picture 2.
The recording session was fun. Not only did I have to dub over my own voice for a couple of my scenes, I also helped to voice a nurse and a phone recording.
There’s this scene where an actor is trying to call someone and he gets this message: “We are not getting a response from the subscriber’s mobile phone. Please try again later.”
That’s MY VOICE.
Hahaha. Listen out for it when you watch the movie.
I love Jack Neo movies. I’ve seen every single one of them and it’s a great honour being in one of them. So, now that he knows how “young” I am, I hope he casts me in a younger and… er… not so pregnant role next time! =)
da coolness man. A nice milestone for ya! :)
Thanks! Hehe… :)
Whoa sis, nice upgrade.
At least I can call you sis still, so no confusion there.
:P
Did you tell Jack Neo that you have the special ability as shape-shifting Mystique?
“Yeah! I received a comment from a Superstar in my blog…”
Qiaoyun!
I’m sorry, it just feels weird calling you by your new name. i’m just curious whether or not it’s your original chinese name, or an entirely new one that you decided to adopt? I guess referring to you by your anglo-esque name that rhymes with ’sheylara’ is no longer acceptable now, is it? ;)
Congratulations on boldly taking the big step! Looking forward to ‘I not stupid too’ :)
And thanks for voting for us anyhow! blardy canon’d better fix the video synching problems soon…
cheers!
Swordie: Doh!… always taking the easy way out! =P
Justice: Haha. No… I don’t think I’m really keen on being body painted… =}
David: Hey, it always feels weird. I have people now who refused to use my new name, lol. But things usually just takes time and then it’s like normal, isn’t it? =) Thanks for visiting my blog and I wish you guys all the best for 4444! =)
This scheme kinda reminds me of CNY :) Darn… No more receiving 红包s this year. Better start planning my vacation! ;)
Anyway, he’s being politically correct and not saying “哇!原来你没那么老的啊” ;)
Hahahaa… I want ang pao from you!!
[...] According to the storyboard, I was supposed to be this stern-looking teacher with short hair and specs (a bit like my “I Not Stupid Too” look) but I don’t know why they changed their minds and made me look like this, instead: [...]
