In 2003,
Triumph in the Skies was the series where Myolie Wu and Nancy Wu first met. After 9 years, they finally continue their fate in
Triumph in the Skies II. However, their sisterly relationship didn't start until 2007's
War of In Laws II, then that following year (2008) they participated in
Strictly Come Dancing.
Their relationship got closer and closer since then. Today they are
good sisters that support, encourage and influence one another.
Encourged to Fight for Opportunities Recalling back then when Myolie Wu and Nancy Wu collaborated in
Triumph in the Skies,
Nancy saw Myolie as a very cool person, she said: "At the time, her
career was developing fast and she was very nervous about her work. We
didn't get to know each other then because she gave others a feeling
like it's hard to approach her, but once you get familiar with her,
she's not like that." When Myolie heard this, she immediately explained
her cool self back in the day: "Actually I wasn't really familiar with
the work back then."
Nancy: "That will just make people think you are hard to approach."
Myolie:
"Really? You just told everyone my weakness! Perhaps because I'm a
Scorpio. I start off protecting myself, but the people that know me
well, know that I'm actually really crazy."
Nancy: "I'm a Virgo and I'm like that too, but after getting to know you, I realized that we have a lot of common views."
In 2007's
War of In Laws II,
it was when Myolie and Nancy truly got to know each other. Nancy said:
"Back then after we all got off work, we would go to Myolie's house for
hot pot and to chat. Then we started chatting about secrets. Then in
2008, we participated in
Strictly Come Dancing. We went to Hunan
together for the competition, our relationship improved a lot and we had
mutual support and encouragement for one another. At the time, many
people knew it was Myolie who encouraged me to take on this opportunity.
If it wasn't for her, I may not been able to have the courage to tell
TVB I wanted to go."
Myolie: "An artist wants to let audience
see the best side of them. At the time, I was not confident to let
people see me dance. At one point, I wanted to turn down
Strictly Come Dancing,
but I saw that this was an opportunity, so I encouraged Nancy to go
fight for it too. I've been in this industry for over 10 years now, I
see a lot of newcomers who have areas they need to work on, such as the
lazy sounds and I would take initative to let them know the changes they
need to make. To be able to encounter quality co-stars, it's a mutual
benefit." Because of this selfnessness, Nancy began to treat Myolie as a
close friend and she has become her best sister.
Myolie: "I
often tell her, if you want to do it, then go do it. You can say it, but
you may not get the opportunity. However, if you don't say it, then
others will never know that you wanted to do it. Then it is definite
that you won't have the opportunity. So, I just believe for the things
you want to do, you should really go try to fight for the opportunity.
Then put in the effort to do the best."
Mutual Influence Myolie
and Nancy became good sisters, but they actually haven't really
collaborated in that many series. Nancy said: "After we got to know one
another, we actually had less chances to work together. The first time
was
A Chip off the Old Block and then
Curse of the Royal Harem.
Having scenes opposite of her, I feel it's just a little weird. Usually
when we aren't acting, we would be laughing loudly and going crazy, but
when she starts shooting, got her makeup on and practicing her lines,
she turns into another person. I watch her saying her lines, I feel it's
so strange, like the Myolie I'm seeing isn't her."
Myolie: "You think I changed into another person?"
Nancy: "Yes! You get really into character."
Myolie: "Thank you for thinking that way. Haha."
Myolie
influenced Nancy to be more proactive in her work, while Nancy
influenced Myolie in a different way. Nancy: "Her personality is rather
impatient and can easily think about nonsense. Her thoughts can go
really far. Perhaps now she has been influenced by me, also we are
closer, many times she can be really calm and will make careful
considerations first."
Nancy agrees that it is fortunate to have
a really close friend, she said: "I believe I'm really lucky because we
aren't competitive opponents at work, we can actually chat, give each
other advice and support. Myolie entered the industry earlier than me,
she can give me a lot of advice. She is a person that wants the people
she knows to do well too."
As there is nothing the two can't
talk about, of course they will talk about their love lives as well.
Myolie said: "I am good at looking at people, of course I help look at
her friends and boyfriends. If I think they aren't qualified, then I
would tell her."
Recently, Myolie's relationship has gone
through some changes. As a good friend, Nancy has of course comforted
her sister. Nancy: "Whatever unhappiness we have, we would talk to each
other about it. Although we may know how the other will handle it, but
we just want to let them know they have our support."
Myolie: "We can be that compatible because aside from our gentle side, we also have a strong side."
So,
we don't need to be worried about Myolie because she doesn't just have
two beautiful elder sisters, she also got "Wu Ting Yee"
(combination of Myolie and Nancy's Chinese names), a nickname fans gave to Nancy, this fourth sister to support her.
