Chow Yun-Fat near my house! How could I miss that?!?
Keeping in my tradition of completely missing seeing cool film stars in Asia, it turns out that Chow Yun-Fat was shooting a movie near the back gate of my university and I didn’t even know! He was in Changfeng Park doing scenes for Ann Hui’s Postmodern Life of My Aunt. How could I not know! So close and yet so far! I never even knew about it until it was mentioned in a story on CRI online.
The only Hong Kong film personality I’ve ever seen is Paul Foronoff, the balding white guy who shows up in several HK movies including Bishonen. Bah!
