Moses Chan (Ah Mo) is the 'Golden Seun Poon' (best deal) in the hearts
of millions of HK girls and a TV King candidate that television can't
lose. In the industry, he is also known Mr. Good...towards the many
titles the public has for him, Ah Mo embarassingly smiled and said:
"Thanks, Thanks!" This perfect actor in the public eye stresses that
whether if its he's a best deal or TV King, what he's been doing all
along is just trying to reach to the peak of television. The bottom line
is, he is just one foolish Ah Mo.
We counted with Ah Mo of how
many titles he has, he laughed loudly and said: "I really don't have
much feeling towards all these titles. Is it because someone says you
are this, then that's what you are? I am the same as before, someone who
loves to eat and drink, a silly Ah Mo." Of course, all his titles are
compliments and positive, a kind regard from Fans, Ah Mo rogered all
that. He is grateful, but he does not dare to accept the honor. Indeed!
There is no perfect person in this world. Forcing yourself to live under
the expectations of others, wouldn't that mean you have lost yourself?
The true Ah Mo is behind the titles.
From "Failure on the Big Screen" to "TV King on the Giant Station" Ten
years have gone by, watching many of his colleagues leaving HK
television giant TVB, while standing at the peak of the television
industry, Ah Mo asks himself: "What's next?" Even though he already has
an answer in his heart, he does not dare to think of instant success.
From hitting rock bottom in the film scene until what he is today, Ah Mo
knows better than anyone else the truth of 'conventional' fame.
Ah
Mo: "Watching my colleagues leaving one at a time, I have also asked
myself, 'How should I proceed next?' But you have to plan for the future
and have to see what choices you have in front of you. So far, I don't
see a better path I could take. (Head up North to shoot series?)
Honestly since I've entered TVB, I have never filmed a series outside of
the company. Even if the 'Chinese Yuan' can be easily earned, but it
has never been the first factor that I put into consideration. After all
I'm not young, I hope to let audience see my future works that has
inner quality and creativity, so I don't rule out the chances that I may
make a comeback on the big screen. I currently have to wait for a good
time. As for my career, I have always taken it step by step. When you
experience a situation where you have nothing to do, then you will start
to cherish every meal you have today. Back then, after I participated
in the film
Twenty Something (1994), I went from being the lead
actor to a supporting actor and even to a big 'ke lei feh' (extra). I
was waiting daily for someone to give me a job. I couldn't see my future
at all. When I joined TVB, it was the last step I took in my acting
career. If this step wasn't stable, it would be game over for me. So, I
put my greatest effort in doing my best. All those setbacks I had in the
past, allowed me to learn how to take my every step and that I must
maturely reflect on every one.
From "Player of the Century" to "Golden Seun Poon"A
few years ago, Ah Mo was back on the market, and instantly became known
as the 'Golden Seun Poon' (Golden Best Deal). Today, despite the fact
that he's already taken (Aimee Chan), he still sees a woman, loves a
woman. But, does anyone know before he became the famous 'Golden Best
Deal', he was actually the 'Player of the Century'? Ah Mo did not deny
that there was a period of time he smoked, drank, partied hard and often
got a new girlfriend... so how did this 'Golden Best Deal' label start?
Ah Mo: "Haha, people labeled me as the 'Golden Best Deal', of
course I'm not. Everyone has seen too much of Ah Mo acting on TV, and
have imagined me as the perfect man. In fact, my thoughts are very
traditional. I believe the definition of 'Best Deal' is a man that must
be responsible, be able to give his partner a reliable shoulder, really
protect and love her. A 'Best Deal' must be able to occasionally be
romantic and give surprises. However, in all honestly, I have never
qualified for any of these conditions. I'm still in the learning
process. As for how I went from a 'player' to the 'best deal' that
everyone knows? I think, in life there are different insights during
different periods. I remember there was one night long ago, when I was
under the spotlight at the disco, the people around me were madly
dancing, but I didn't move at all. That moment, my feelings told me:
'This place doesn't belong to me.' And since then, I left the disco and
said goodbye to that frivolous age.
From "Foolish Boy" to "Mr. Good"Showbiz
is a place of competition and jealousy. People in this industry are
surrounded by nonstop gossips and rumors, but Ah Mo has a protective
charm on him that keeps him away from 'bad terms' rumors. As a Mr. Good
in the public eye, Ah Mo laughed and said he's just one "foolish man".
Ah
Mo: I am a natural born Yes Man. I am friendly with people and don't
know how to fight back. I have never been in a fight with anyone in my
life. In the past, I was really resistant when people said "foolish
people have foolish happiness", but I have now realized that this is in
fact a kind of happiness.
Although people with this personality
are often taken for granted, but when you are not afraid of disadvantage
and willing to help others, then there will be an unexpected payback.
After being in the television industry for so many years, there is
indeed not many things that can upset me. I like creativity and I will
provide suggestions to producers. Sometimes when my suggestions aren't
accepted because of several factors, I would just let out a long sigh.
To survive in showbiz, you must learn this principle: When someone wants
your help, your advice will be helpful; When someone doesn't want your
help, your advice is troublesome.
So, even if I do feel
helpless, I still think artists should do their part first. There is no
need to insist on things that cannot be controlled.
From "Coffee Prince" to "Captain of Dreams" Aside
from his love to enjoy coffee, Ah Mo loves to enjoy life. In his brain,
he doesn't just store his acting skills, but also the dreams that
people in the city lack.
Ah Mo: "If life is just about running
around to make a living, then we are just left with meaningless. So,
each individual must have a dream. I grew up in Australia and I believe
treasuring life is far more important than making money,. To me, my
acting career is definitely not everything in my life because I have too
many dreams. For example, in the future I hope to own my very own
furniture store, restaurant, village, coffee garden, farm ... sounds
pretty crazy, but it is not impossible. As for if my dreams can come
true, that will have to depend timing. Of course, I won't give up
everything just for my dreams. Again, everything must be taken step by
step."
