Wind, the Movie Star.

Walking in sub-zero temperature up Devonshire place to Bloor, under my coat, a sweater from Club Monaco. Hailed a cab on Bloor to head less than 1km west.

"Whoa there are so many people here"
Zeus: "Yeah, there is a movie premiere today and I'm one of the actors."

Damned traffic took 4minutes. Taxi meter reflected 9:12, $4.85. 11 returned with a fiver.


Alighted, headed straight for the door and met the producer.
"Hey Wenyuan!"
"Where am I supposed to collect my tickets?"
"You don't need tickets, just go in! You're the cast!"
"Hang on a moment, I'll get you one!"

"Hey 穩元!"
Turned around and saw my fellow accomplice Kelvin! Holding a gal, two babes and a white guy behind.
"Let's get some seats!"

Perfect seats.
"Hey, I'm sorry this seats are reserved for the cast" Geoff.
"Hey Geoff!"
"Oh it's you, Wenyuan!"
"Yeah and Kelvin's right there!"
"Oh I couldn't recognize you guys in the dark! Sit here, these seats are reserved for the cast and guests!"

Moved 1 row ahead. Kalv to my right, and a his girlfriend Candice's friend, Andrew to my left. Doesn't speak much Mandarin. What a pity.

Jabbing Kalv,
"很興奮吧?“
“是啊!"

To the producer,
" Sell my 3 tickets."
Theater was bursting full-house.

Headed to the washrooms. Must be the aura of a star. People looking and making way for me.

Kalv behind,
“你朋友說普通話嗎?"
"他們都說廣東話,祇有我妹妹聽懂一點。"


"Welcome to the world premiere of PurePwnage Episode 9!"
"YEEeAaH!"

Crazy cheers. So good. Hands clapping, Voices calling, mine a quarter hoarse.

Stand-up comedy. Producer camming.
"What do you usually do?"
pause. "I pwn noobs."

Another, "practising my micro"

10 minute break skipped.
Appearance of the cast: the yet unknown Kyle. Jeremy. Anastasia. "Strip!" Dave. "Shoot my head!" Doug.

Now for the real thing. Epsisode 6.
Enjoying every moment of it. Didn't even pay attention to the words. WoW stories. Laughed with Andrew. Cheered.
Shooting my fellas on the big screen. So good.

Lights. Fifth down curtains raised again. Episode 7.
"My Balls" from the crowd before Jeremy said it on screen.
PurePwnage.com Crowd followed my clap.

Lanageddon. Ep. 8.
Back-right crowd cheering for Evil.
Can't help but knife the air when Jeremy came down with a knife head-shot on Evil's head!

Lights turned on. 10-minute intermission before the world premiere of episode 9!
Rushed to the washroom. Throngs buying popcorn. To my right, Jeremy pestered by fans for autographs. With 1 signing oh his handphone. Cool. Lights dimmed.

"EPISODE 9!"
Watched the first part. Got plastic gun humor, but crowd gaping in awe.
Next scene, Shaanxi, China!
"Kalv, it's our scene!"
Irresistible clap. Crowd followed.
Street fighter scenes. I appeared. Shot myself. So good.
Laughing at my own dorkish character.
Horny laugh had everyone rolling.
"I looked so horny!" Pride.
Episode ended with Dave returning to China. Hint at more of me, Kalv and Dave to come.

Lights on. Crew invited up.
Proceeded out of the cinema that opened to a back alley. Took a crazy shot with the Producer. So good.


Out, talked to fans.
"The 10 dollars was totally worth it!"
"How did you like Episode 9?"
"Wonderful man!"


Of course. Best chapter yet of my Canadian dream.
Netherlands and UK premiere starting in 10 minutes time.
3 million fans waiting for the online premiere in 2 hours and 40 minutes.
