Myolie Wu expressed, “This industry is indeed very competitive. If you don’t hustle, it’s really hard to get far.” Even though she is in her 40’s, Myolie Wu has never felt afraid about portraying a mother role and not being able to go back to portraying someone’s younger sister. When the interviewer asks her the significance of being TVB’s Best Actress, Myolie Wu explained, “I think it’s really a recognition. It is also a very cruel reality that actors rely on winning awards. It’s a recognition for you.”
On whether there were any changes in the way people treated her, Myolie Wu explained, “Indeed, there were a bit more privileges. It can be called privileges, but I don’t think these privileges can be casually used. For example, female leads generally film on location in the morning and then film at the studio for over 20 hours a day. They let you endure it for a few days. After enduring it for a few days and you can’t take it anymore, you don’t need to go film on location or at the studio. This is the privilege. But you can’t be doing this every 2 or 3 days. My assistant said to me, ‘Do you know what the crew workers call you? They all call you Iron Lady.’, because I never use my privileges.”
