Borrowing Chai Kau's golden line, "How many ten years is there in a life time?", and especially during the 20-30 age phase, it's the golden period of 10 years where many people come out of school and step into the society, and from an immature mindset to defining their own life goals clearly. Myolie Wu, who's approaching 30 soon, looks back at her 10-year development in the entertainment industry. She felt fortunate that while she got to act, she also had the chance to rush onto the last train to enter the music industry. She has already set her targets for the next 10 years. Other than hoping to develop further into both TV and singing, she also wants to become a mother before 40 years old. MSN celebrated its 10th year anniversary for breaking into the Hong Kong market, and cooperated with TVB.COM to release a 'MyTVxMSN' free TV channel, allowing the netizens to re-watch TVB's TV programs while playing on MSN. To make this occasion grand, the organizer found Myolie Wu, whom coincidentally was in her 10th year of her career, to become the promotional ambassador for the 10-year-old anniversary. She joked that if it was not for MSN's reminder, she would not have realized on how time had flown past. "10 years seem to be like a long time, but I feel that I've just entered the industry not long ago. Because last year, I had the chance to venture into the music industry. It's very different from my acting job. No longer portraying other characters, but to be myself. Feels very refreshing."
Thinking back on the development in the entertainment industry for the past 10 years, Myolie felt very satisfied, "These 10 years, many people gave me opportunities. I can try doing a job which I like. Tried acting, releasing an album. I felt that I'm very fortunate. Last year when I released my first album, I clinched the newcomer award. It's already a recognition. I won't demand myself to become the 'Top' so quickly. Instead, I shall enjoy the process of my work, hoping that I will improve gradually, and be able to have another 10 years in my career."
When talking about the future 10 years, it's even the period for her to develop and expand her career. Her ambition is to break out of the Hong Kong market. "My past dramas have helped me to accumulate a little popularity in the South-east Asia region. Hopefully in the future, I can film more better dramas, and allow the overseas people to know me. Then I can attend stage performances outside of Hong Kong too. I've also planned to sing Mandarin songs soon, breaking into the Taiwan and Mainland markets. And also, have chances to work with music producers from other countries." Recently, she's busy with recording her new album, and frankly expressed that most of her time had been spent on singing. But looking at the long-term plan, she hopes to develop a balance between acting and singing.
Although Myolie said that she's currently busy with work and does not have the impulsiveness to datet and get married, she still hopes that 10 years later, she can get pregnant and have a child. "In the past, I didn't want to become a mother. Because need to sacrifice a lot. After having the child, it's like my life has stopped. Everything needs to be considered for the child. But when my nephew was born, I saw that although my elder sister gave out a lot, she also obtained a lot of happiness from the process. I feel that it's worth it. So I hope that I can become a mother. I believe that 40 years old won't be too late!" But she still felt that relationship matters cannot be rushed. She won't marry hurriedly just because she wants to become a mother. She even emphasized strongly that for the next 10 years, her career is still of the top priority.
