JAKE ON WAVE BROADCAST A SUMMARY (or the things that stood out to me lmao)
1. Jake decided to major in acting before deciding on becoming an actor in his second year. He was considering set design but he got injured and that scared him away lmao.
2. Most memorable character: Zi Shuo from Close Your Eyes Before It's Dark.
3. Meng Shao Fei is very different from who Jake is, which made learning the character very fun.
4. He really wanted a role with a lot of lines. And then Meng Shao Fei happened hahahhhh.
5. He wants to act as a lawyer because he likes debating lmao.
6. Most memorable class when he studied acting: Mask work because it's the most removed from what he knows as an actor. (I did a class on mask work before so i understand what Jake means.)
7. He has a list of 12 things to do when he receives his script. Okay intense DEDICATION.
8. Everyone's just begging him to sing lmao. Even a nursery rhyme but our boy would not budge..
9. Most insane thing he has done for a gig. Jake went out for a talk on diving in a skiing store in May last year. Fell in love, applied for a class, got his role as a diver soon after. The show is coming this summer~~
10. JAKE IS A CERTIFIED DIVER WHO GOT HIS LICENCE IN 2 DAYS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A 3 DAY CLASS because the typhoon was arriving. Amazing.
11. Being an actor is fun because he gets exposed to different kinds of roles that does all kinds of things you usually wouldn't get to experience. This is also the most challenging thing.
12. He lounged on his sofa recently and watched the Irishman twice.
13. Bought the biggest tv so he can get as close as possible to a trip to the cinema. This is a man after my heart. Jk he already has it.
14. HIGHLY REQUESTED AS A DJ NOW.
15. Biggest obstacle thus far: A director went to Jake and said that he wished Jake never studied acting. Jake agrees with the notion and says what he studied does limits him so he's trying to balance his training and being open minded. (I FEEL THIS as a once actor lmao)
16. Will he try theatre? Absolutely because that's where he started his journey at.
17. His interest: Watching movies. And then he laughs and says it's his entire life. (I-)
18. He acts out scenes that he likes randomly. E.g. while waiting for his breakfast at his breakfast shop.
19. He has breakfast there everyday AND almost says where the shop is. I WANT TO KNOW.
20. No more Oscar predictions for him because he got it wrong 2 years in a row. I will personally start a petition that he makes this a yearly tradition OK.
(I wrote down all the movies he talked about hahaha........)
21. Movie that inspired him: Girlfriend Boyfriend. It was the movie that showed him movies can be about human emotions and kickstarted his fascination with movie exploration. Yep, he has my heart.
22. Jake used to have a column on film on a website!!!!!!!!! I WOULD PAY TO SEE THIS but but website is gone and I am sad and he says he won't do it again and that makes me even sadder.
23. He watched 19 films to prepare for Oscars.... I am ashamed to call myself a film buff.
24. He doesn't want to get married anymore after watching Marriage Story HAHA
25. If there were to be a sequel to Trapped, HE WILL TAKE IT because he feels that there is still a lot to Meng Shao Fei that hasn't been explored. AGREED. ABSOLUTELY.
26. Played mahjong and watched a lot of movies for Chinese New Year lol predictable
27. He recommends YET another movie: Suk Suk.
28. Dou-Hao broadcast~
29. Thanks everyone for supporting and listening to the broadcast.
30. Last refusal to sing and says maybe he'll get a role with singing and we will get to hear him then. Goddamnit.
I'M DONE. I had to summarise this because I really like what Jake says. And lmao a 30min broadcast. I have 30 points. 1 point for every minute. Great summary.
