And why did I have to call him so badly? It's because he is going to be a superstar! My friend is called Jiri and we've been good friends since high school. Jiri looks like he's got a mixed-race background, a high nose and deep eye sockets. He's unquestionably a handsome guy. He was signed by an agency after high school and has even acted on television. He really likes singing too. Someone once said he sings like Eason Chan, but I don't agree - I think he sings better than Eason Chan! His ambition is to become a superstar and put out music albums, movies, and make a lot of money. Unfortunately, sometimes things don't go so smoothly. When he graduated from high school, Jiri wanted to get into entertainment circles and get training from an agency. But the company stopped contacting him suddenly. There went the music album, advertisements, television shows, and movies. The company kept telling him to wait and it just made him upset. After three months Jiri felt hopeless. In order to support himself, he worked in a bank selling insurance. But he didn't give up his dream and kept practicing singing every day. He thought that God would give a hardworking person a chance. More or less five years later, opportunity found him. His old contract terminated and so Jiri attended the EEG Musicholic singing competition. He absolutely blew people away and won the championship. I read about that on the Internet and called him immediately to congratulate him. I really hope he can be a superstar. Do you guys have dreams of stardom? ----Pinyin---- ming4 sing1 mung6 gam1 jat6, ngo5 dak6 dang1 zau2 zo2 sap6 ng5 fan1 zung1 lou6 heoi3 bou3 taan1 maai5 zo2 jat1 zoeng1 din6 waa2 kaat1, zau6 hai4 wai4 zo2 daa2 din6 waa2 bei2 ngo5 hoeng1 gong2 ge3 lou5 jau5 , dim2 gaai2 jiu3 daa2 bei2 keoi5? jan1 wai6 keoi5 zau6 lai4 jiu3 sing4 wai4 ming4 sing1 laa6! ngo5 pang4 jau5 giu3 zou6 Jerry , ngo5 gou1 zung1 ge3 zau6 hai6 keoi5 hou2 pang4 jau5, keoi5 saang1 dak1 jau5 di1 ci5 wan6 hyut3 ji4 , go3 bei6 hou2 gou1, ngaan5 hong1 hou2 sam1 , jat1 tai2 zau6 zi1 dou3 hai6 leng3 zai2。 hai2 zung1 hok6 si4 doi6, keoi5 ji5 ging1 cim1 joek3 ging1 lei5 jan4 gung1 si1 , zung6 paak3 gwo3 din6 si6 kek6 tim1! keoi5 jat1 zik6 dou1 hou2 zung1 ji3 coeng3 go1 , jau5 jan4 waa6 keoi5 coeng3 dak1 hou2 ci5 can4 jik6 seon3 , ngo5 waa6 ng4 hai6 , hai6 hou2 gwo3 can4 jik6 seon3 aa3 ! keoi5 ge3 muk6 biu1 zau6 hai6 ho2 ji5 sing4 wai4 jat1 go3 ming4 sing1 , ceot1 coeng3 pin2 , paak3 din6 jing2 , zaan6 daai6 cin2 ! ho2 sik1 jau5 si4 hau6 si6 cing4 bing3 ng4 wui5 gam1 jat1 faan4 fung1 seon6 ge3... dong1 keoi5 gou1 zung1 bat1 jip6 ge3 si4 hau6 , zing3 daa2 syun3 tau4 san1 jyu4 lok6 hyun1, zip3 sau6 gung1 si1 pui4 fan3 go2 zan6, gung1 si1 dat6 jin4 mou4 jyun4 jan1 gam2 syut3 cong4 keoi5, mou5 coeng3 pin2 ceot1 , mou5 gwong2 gou3 , din6 si6 , din6 jing2 paak3 , mou5 pui4 fan3 , zau6 jat1 mei2 giu3 keoi5 dang2 siu1 sik1 , zan1 hai6 gap1 sei2 jan4。 gwo3 zo2 saam1 go3 jyut6 , Jerry dou1 jau5 di [...]

If you pay close attention to the scene where Chun takes her home, you'll discover that the director is portraying in shimmering light like nothing so much as a beautiful angel, just like from a dream. At this moment, you'll realize that the acting, the cinematography, and the editing are all serving this point—people who believe in themselves are always extraordinary in any situation. And the movie "You Shoot, I Shoot" has out-performed expectations and is definitely a signature piece. And although a lot of people have called it a lousy film, if you've ever been moved by an idea, or a dream, you'll think about it differently. To steal a line from "The Human Comedy,"films can't hurt people! In other words, the director was simply trying to make his dream come true. ----Pinyin---- maai5 hung1 paak3 jan4 hai2 ngo5 jing6 sik1 ge3 so2 jau5 tai2 gwo3 ni1 bou6 din6 jing2 ge3 pang4 jau5 jap6 min6, ceoi4 zo2 siu2 sou3 jan4 — — ho2 nang4 waan6 jau5 mau5 di1 am3 beng6, mou5 jat1 go3 ng4 deoi3 ni1 bou6 din6 jing2 jap6 min6 baan3 jin2 AV neoi5 jau1 ge3 mei5 zi3 zi2 siu2 ze2 sam1 sang1 hoeng2 wong5. jyu4 gwo2 nei5 cyun4 san4 gun3 zyu3 gam2 gun1 soeng2 aa3 cyun4 daai3 mei5 zi3 zi2 faan1 uk1 kei2 zi1 hau6 ge3 go2 dyun6 hei3, zau6 wui5 faat3 jin6 paang4 hou5 coeng4 dou6 jin2 jung6 soeng5 zo2 bat1 sang1 sau2 dyun6 lai2 jing4 zou3 geng3 tau4 jap6 min6 hou2 ci2 neoi5 san4 gong3 lam4 jat1 joeng6 sik1 dak1 faat3 gwong1 ge3 mei5 zi3 zi2 siu2 ze2 ge3 jing4 zoeng6. ni1 go3 si4 hau6, nei5 zau6 wui5 ming4 baak6 ni1 bou6 din6 jing2 ge3 zan1 tai3—cung1 mun5 lei5 soeng2 ge3 jan4, hai2 jam4 ho4 ging2 dei6 zung1 dou1 wui5 bat1 tung4 faan4 hoeng2. zi3 jyu1 kei4 taa1 fong1 min6 , kek6 cing4 aa3 jin2 gei6 aa3 geng3 tau4 aa3 zin2 cap1 aa3, nang4 gau3 fuk6 mou6 jyu1 ni1 go3 zan1 tai3, zau6 ji5 ging1 zuk1 gau3. gang3 ho4 fong3 「 maai5 hung1 paak3 jan4 」 zou6 dak1 ciu1 gwo3 zo2 “ zuk1 gau3 ” ji6 zi6, so2 ji5 zau6 sing4 wai6 zo2 ging1 din2. seoi1 jin4 jau5 hou2 do1 jan4 jung6 “ laan6 pin2 ” heoi3 ping4 gaa3 keoi5, daan6 hai6 jyu4 gwo2 nei5 dou1 cang4 ging1 bei6 lei5 soeng2 daa2 dung6 gwo3, nei5 jat1 ding6 ng4 wui5 gam2 jing6 wai4. jan5 jung6 「 jan4 gaan1 hei2 kek6 」 jap6 min6 dou6 man4 zaak6 gong2 gwo3 ge3 jat1 geoi3 toi4 ci4—din6 jing2 hai6 ng4 wui5 aak1 jan4 ge3! so2 ji5, kei4 sat6 dou6 jin2 ng4 daan1 zi2 hai6 zou3 mung6 gam3 gaan2 daan1, ji4 hai6 duk6 gan2 ngo5 dei6 ge3 noi6 sam1. --------------------------- Learn Cantonese with CantoneseClass101!
