Taiwan-born actress/recording artist Vivian Hsu may be the most exposed actress at the 2010 Hawaii International Film Festival, starring in three films.
But with the film festival winding down this weekend, Sunday's repeat showing of "Fire of Conscience" is the last chance to catch Hsu on screen. Last night she joined award-winning directors Li Qian Kuan and Xiao Guiyan here for the world premiere of "The Star and The Sea." She also had a role in "Hot Summer Days," which showed earlier in the festival.
With the assistance of interpreter Marshall Wu, Hsu talked about her dual careers in film and music, the roles she'd like to play, and a story she'd like to share with America in a major film.
John Berger: You have three movies here at the festival. Each one represents a different genre. Do you have a favorite genre or a favorite type of character?
Vivian Hsu: I particularly like "The Star and The Sea." The role of Xinghai's mother is very challenging. I've never played a mother before. Also, it is a period piece that takes place 100 years ago. However, l also like the challenge of working with different crews and different directors because it inspires different kinds of creative sparks. In the future I would like to do something I've never done before, particularly like a thriller, a crime story or a ghost movie.
