Michael Tse encourages married women to continue working

In the TVB series “The Money Maker Recipe” Michael Tse plays the role of Wong Chi Chung, often making a droopy look expression when he speaks. He doesn’t like his wife being more clever them himself either. The character is rather old fashioned and hateful. In real life Michael is very different from his character role. He is known for being the dancing king and while taking shots on a motorbike he looked quite handsome. He proudly says “Having a wife clever than yourself isn’t a problem. It just mean’s you have a good eye and picked the right wife”.
In 2005, Michael and his girlfriend Tina got married. On their wedding day he sung a song to her making her emotionally touched.

He explains “The character Wong Chi Chung is very old fashioned and conservative. In real life I agree that married women should be able to continue working. The more they are involved in the community the better understanding they have of what’s going around them. This also saves problems in marriage such as not having any topics to talk about. If not, a person would slowly become isolated from society and this will cause many problems in marriage. I wouldn’t want to get home from work and only talk about things involving the kitchen etc, as this would affect a couple’s marriage. That’s why I encourage women that are married to continue working”.

Reveals that he created the Droopy look for the character
Michael explains that the character Wong Chi Chung is in fact older than himself. But instead of applying a makeover to look older he used a different approach. “I think a lot of the audience find that makeovers to make someone look old is too fake these days. Instead I used the approach of making the character look miserable and unsociable”. (Was the droopy look your idea?) “Yes I thought of the idea but still had to get approval from the producer. The reason is that he didn’t want something similarly done in the past”. (The audience don’t seem to find the look appealing?) “First of all you need to be brave enough to try different things and this will give you the opportunity to improve. I am quite happy that people are at least discussing about it rather than nobody commenting on it. I see it as a good thing because the audience remember the image”.

Michael had played many outstanding roles in his acting career. In “Legal Entanglement” he played a buck teeth Lawyer. Also played a bad guy in “La Femme Desperado “. But the sad thing was he never received any awards for these roles. “Every competition has different standards, it doesn’t mean that you will get an award even if the role is outstanding. I really understand what the term “Deserving” means. Currently the only award I have ever received is the “Strictly Come Dancing Show’s” Dancing King award. I will feel proud about it till the day I die. I don’t know if I will receive a second award in the future. But my heart is dedicated mainly on my career right now. Awards will be second on my mind. I will not act just to receive awards”.

Will not replay well known Character “Dai Tin-Yee”
Michael started his career by joining the boy band “ Wind Fire Sea” Other members were Jordan Chan and Jason Chu. (Asked how he got into acting?) He states that during the time he worked with his seniors filming the movie “Young and Dangerous”. He could see their professionalism in front of the camera’s and their incredible acting skills. There was a moment in his mind that was like a bulb lightning up. Since that moment he realised what was professional acting. During that time, he learnt from others on how to act and from then on he created his own style of acting. He smiles and says “I actually attended some acting classes with Sheren Tang. But to be honest acting depends on practice and experience. You never know when you will use those skills you have been taught, unless you were naturally born to act”. ( When discussing about new series “The Academy III” replaying a triad. Asked whether he would be playing the similar role as well known role “Dai Tin-Yee” in “Young and Dangerous”? ) “ Both characters are different and I never play a similar character twice as I find it boring. There needs to be a challenge and fresh feeling”.
