Hello everyone!
How are you all? From now on all my messages will be coming from this
Newsletter group. It seems to be the best way to solve most of my e-
mailing problems. It will also make it more convieniant for me to
write more often.

Thanks to everyone for your letters. I read everyone myself and I
really enjoy them very much. Your words of support are very much
appreciated. Remember I still can't read Chinese(but I'm learning!)
So I can only see the letters that are in English.

Recently I have been quite busy with filming and promotions. I hope
most of you got a chance to see "Beijing Rocks". It was a really
great and fun movie to work on. If you haven't seen it...shame on
you! I know some of you may not have access to it, so I will forgive
you but do see it when you get a chance!

In October I finished a movie called "Bin Lim Ging Ching" there is no
english title yet. In this movie I was able to work with my friend
Stephen Fung again. I played an assasin whose face was badly deformed
who must revenge his brother's death.

This month I was able to go back to Taiwan to promote "Beijing
Rocks". It was good to get a chance to go back to Taiwan! Thanks to
everyone for coming to the autograph session. It was fun!

Right now I have just started work on another new movie called "Fung
Hung Kei Yuen". This movie will also have Francis Ng and Michelle
Reis/Lee. I am really excited to work with Francis on this project
because he is one of my favorite actors. This ia also my first comedy
so you will all get a chance to see my silly side.

I read some e-mails from some of you in Singapore complaining about
me not showing up for the "Peony Pavillion" premiere. I would like to
explain that there are a lot of places that I would like to go to do
promotions BUT it is not always up to me personally. Sometimes there
is no budget to fly the actors out or my schedule does not allow. In
the case of the Singapore "Peony Pavillion" trip, I chose NOT to go
because I was upset with the distribution of the film in Sigapore.
Many of you may not know that the movie will not show in Singapore
because the Singaporean distrubtors said that they do not think
Chinese films are fit to be shown in their theatres. This statement
upset me very much because in order for Hong Kong or Chinese film to
survive, we need the support of everyone in the industry all over
Asia. I felt that these people were being tremendously ignorant on
their part. This is not the first time I've experienced difficulties
with a movie in Singapore. So all of you in Singapore who want to see
more good films, you have to fight for the right to choose instead of
someone else choosing for you. I just wanted you to be aware of that.

I've also been getting a lot of mail asking me for advice on many
things. About what to study in school, about getting into the
entertainment business, etc. My one piece of advice, which also
applies to myself is this: Do what you want to do. Do what will make
you happy. Very simple statements that can make a world of
difference. Don't be scared to try something different. Who knows?
You may be very good at it! And if you don't succeed, your life is
not over! You can try something else untill you are satisfied or
happy. If you believe and trust in yourself you can make it happen!

OK, I must go. Hope everyone is well and look forward to hearing from
you all!

Daniel
