In the film “Live with Fashion” (English title : "Sleepless Fashion"), Vic Chou completely cast aside his “melancholic prince” image and plays an arrogant and haughty executive, fluently spurting out sharp, unkind and critical words, and topple fans past image of himself.
The workplace comedy directed by talented woman director Lin Yichuan and starring Vic Chou, Vivian Hsu, Alan Tam and others, will premier around mid to end October in Mainland China. As the movie release date clashes with the filming of "Saving General Yang", Zaizai was not able to take leave and this causes him much headache. At the same time, there were rumor news that Vic’s other work “Home” is hoping to broadcast in October to take advantage of “October 1st” long vacation* and this also requires ZZ’s participation to promote, making Vic not sure how to handle the situation. Vic Chou's manager said that one week prior to the movie’s premier is the most important period, but the scheduling of "Saving General Yang" which is Vic’s first ancient costume film, will be filming it’s “20-day big war scene”. All cast and key people must be present, and the director has ordered a few hundred horses and hundreds of extra actors. Vic who acts as Yang Sanlang must of course be there too. After the 2 film companies had a discussion, Zaizai was permitted to take 2-days of leave. Besides the movie’s premier event, Vic might participate in China’s important award ceremony, Golden Rooster Hundred Flowers Film Award. And he might also go to another important city to promote "Live with Fashion".
Vic roaring at everyone, “sinisterly” scolded in secret for 10 days
In the film "Live with fashion", Zhou Xiaohui (acted by Vic Zhou) has always considered himself as elite (cream of the crop). In three-years he has climbed from an assistant to the Editor position. Because his “sharp point”/ cutting edge was too exposed, he ends up being forced to resign. He then gathered together a group of people who has never enjoyed success before, a village wedding photographer, a second-generation heir who has never earned a penny in his life etc, to form a rag-tag new team, with the intention to make a comeback. Facing his “scrap wood “colleagues, Zhou Xiaohui self-proclaimed his own superiority and is often guilty of the "elite" disease. Even after using a variety of sharp and unkind words, it was still not enough and in the last straw he turned into a "roaring man", giving the team an ultimate warning using not only his best “poison tongue curse words”, but also a special action of pointing "right between the eyebrows". Even Vivian Hsu who played one of them who was scolded by him, started complaining, "how can you point so accurately between the eyebrows, how can your pointing feel so uncomfortable? "
"I have done something to everyone that I feel very sorry for."
Vic revealed that just before filming the “roaring” scenes in the movie, every time he meets his cast members, he will greet them on the outside and then in his heart, quietly scold them according to the script, brewing his emotions. Each time he greets Wang Taili (who plays the village photographer), his mind will be thinking, "You ground beetle who only knows how to take wedding photos". "Because they are all very nice, I was afraid that I will not be able to scold when the time comes”. When the scenes of the “poison tongue roaring guy” were completed without any NG, Zaizai was deeply surprised and said, “Doing one’s homework thoroughly is really very effective.”
Very happy to have new friends, wants to learn from Zhou Xiaohui
The most happy thing in the movie is meeting a lot of new friends when filming, and through the role of "Zhou Xiaohui," he obtained a lot. Zhou Xiaohui was brimming over with talent, but initially he treated people without mercy. When his relationship with his closest friends was ruptured (broken off), he began to learn how to trust every person around him, began to learn how to communicate and cooperate, releasing goodwill and benevolence to people around him. Vic laughed at himself and said that he ought to learn from Zhou Xiaohui, "With or without success, this transformation in Zhou Xiaohui is a sweet harvest for everyone”.
