Sarah Chang gives advice to female action star wannabes

-


If you want to be a female action star, make sure you have muscles!

This was the advice of Chinese action star Sarah Chang, one of the stars of the movie "The Trigonal," which also features Monsour del Rosario and Rhian Ramos. The action-packed film is directed by Vince Soberano.

"Train martial arts. Make sure you have some muscles because I think one thing that people are looking for right now is reality. If you don't have muscles, somehow you kill some 300 people, so it doesn’t make sense," says Sarah during an interview at Max's Restaurant in Quezon City recently.

She adds: "So train hard and be strong. I think strong is sexy now. Then learn how to play it. It’s fun. I think lots of girls are addicted to it because it’s really exciting."

Sarah says that she had a great time working with Filipinos in the action-packed movie.

"They are so friendly. I just don’t want to leave. But of course I have a work in China so I come back and forth here. I made six movies last year. It’s a great experience to be here again. This is my first action direction."

                                                                    Rhian Ramos

Sarah recalls how she got into the movies and became an action star.

"Actually I practice wu shu since I was seven years old. And then when I was living in Taiwan, I was asked by a friend to help train these girls for a music video. It was very random. 'So you do wu shu? I need some help.' So the next day he was going to film this music video.;"

"I joined an action team in Taiwan and after that, I went into acting school and then I started doing action movies. I haven’t done romantic-comedies or drama, mostly action. I try to stick to this," Sarah says.

 Her movie idols include Michelle Yeoh, Jackie Chan, Jett Li and Bruce Lee. "Each of them is so famous and they are skilled in their arts because of their drive and determination. Each one has a different technique that I like."

Sarah says that she's thrilled that women are now given lead roles in action movies.

"Times are changing like that. I used to be like that. But now, especially after Wonder Woman, there are so many women action-centered movies for women even TV series especially Netflix. There are so many women action-centered movies. It’s so exciting and it’s a great time time to be a Chinese-American as well, especially with 'Crazy Rich Asians' coming out," Sarah adds. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?'

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
