Bowie talks about his first collaboration with Elaine Jin in the 1987 movie "People's Hero". He talks about Chan Hung Lit's sudden passing. Bowie talks about his relationship with his father. Bowie does not like it when his father crosses his arms while sitting down, so Bowie would 'deduct' 300HKD from his father's allowance if he does it.
Bowie was very happy to take on the role in "Mind Reading Detective" because he believes that he would be able to play the character well, as he is a very detailed guy.
Cha Siu Yan: "You're a very meticulous person".
Bowie: "Yes, that is why when I first accepted the character in
Mind Reading Detective, I liked it very much".
Cha Siu Yan: "It resembles you?"
Bowie: "Because I believe that I am able this detailed character".
Cha Siu Yan: "Very considerate".
Bowie: "I was very happy when I first got the script! Good
Mind Reading Detective!"
Cha Siu Yan: "Do you find it hard when you are this considerate?"
Bowie: "Yes! There are times you will expect...expect your acting partner to act with you. Your standards will become high, but it will not work, as it is not yourself, and not everyone is yourself. Thus, you will demote your level a bit, as that person is like that. If you demote again, and that person is like that, then I'll leave it at that, and I will not say anything".
Cha Siu Yan: "Your partners are quite...and in sync with one another".
Bowie: "Yes, very in sync!"
Cha Siu Yan: "But, they all have expectations".
Bowie: "Of course".
Cha Siu Yan: "It's rare for you to demote yourself for them".
Bowie: "I'm happy, as a majority of them have expectations. Because it is already 2010, and if you still act like this one, then you leave, so be careful. There will bound to be one to replace your position, as people only watch your acting.
You are not the judge on how well you acted. It is the
viewers who tell you if you have acted well or not".

Bowie talks about working with Teresa Mo and Damian Lau when he first started to film TV series. He praises them as they have 'placed money in his pocket, but do not need him to give change back'.
Cha Siu Yan: "Have you repaid back to society by placing money in others' pockets?"
Bowie: "It depends on the person!"
Cha Siu Yan: "What does it depend on?"
Bowie: "Well, if you see the guy talking on his phone before he is finished filming, and saying 'Okay, okay, there is only two more scenes left to film. I'm coming. You guys starting singing first'. Those people can just shut up!"
Cha Siu Yan: "Don't bother to care about
those people".
Bowie: "You have basically wasted your breath, as on the surface, he may seem sincere in listening to your advice, but he may be one of those people. So, it's a waste of breath".
Cha Siu Yan: "He even forgot
Hurry up and sing!"
Bowie: "He probably had already forgotten, so it's a waste of breath".
Cha Siu Yan: "Since you are so strict, what will you do if a co-star arrives late and leaves early? Will you get angry?"
Bowie: "The producer will deal with it. We won't...these artistes do not exist anymore".
Cha Siu Yan: "They have been erased already!"
Bowie: "There aren't any of these artistes anymore. Even if there is, then they have big people backing them up, and they are still able to film series".
Cha Siu Yan: "Really? There are a lot of these people (back ups)?
Bowie: "Sure there are!"
Cha Siu Yan: "I thought TVB doesn't have these things!"
Bowie: "There are [these back ups] definitely. Why wouldn't there be any? Then I will say,
If he is here, then I will not be here! That's it!"
Cha Siu Yan: "You will avoid and state it in the beginning".
Bowie: "Yes. I will ask what co-stars will be in here. If he is in it, then okay...I will be honest...because I don't know how to put on a fake mask, and discuss it over dinner that I do not want to film. I will tell the truth, and the truth is this...I don't want film. That's it!"
Cha Siu Yan: "Thank you, Bowie!"
Bowie: "Thank you, Siu Yan Jeh!"
Personal Note: I wonder which actor Bowie was referring to who made him demote a level for? o_0 It has to be a youngen actor who has been acting for a while. No wonder Bowie wants to learn how to read if people are lying or not because, like he had mentioned on his blog, a lot of artistes in "Mind Reading Detective" have gone up to him, and said that they admire him, and have always wanted to work with him. Who is the the big butt kisser?
