There are plenty of ways to describe local internet personality MsPuiyi aka Siew Pui Yi. The 24-year-old is known for being able to determine what she wants and how to work towards it. And, it currently seems like MsPuiyi has set her eyes on a new goal.
MsPuiyi is certainly a woman of many talents. You’d only have to look at her repertoire of being an artist, YouTuber and a model. However, it seems MsPuiyi is now getting into acting too! In fact, the model will be starring in the upcoming “KL爱情故事 (KL Love Story)”, directed by Teng Bee (马逸腾).
“KL爱情故事” focuses on Kuala Lumpur’s nightlife and the sexual lives of its denizens. The film will allegedly be aiming to challenge the erotic standards of local films. According to its director, Teng Bee, the script had actually been completed in 2016. “But at the time, I didn’t dare (carry it out) because of my own experience,” the director reportedly shared. However, after 10 years of movie making experience and being a married man, Teng Bee is now confident in his work.
Additionally, Teng Bee shared he had been nervous about the film as it involved many sexual and erotic scenes. His goal was to show realistic relationships between men and women. However, he had been uncertain as to how the actors involved would receive it. “I am very lucky to have the actors’ trust,” he admitted. “The actresses only ask me how to shoot the bed scenes. Their professional attitude is similar to actors overseas which (encourages) me to shoot the scenes well and protect them.”
MsPuiyi will be the mistress of 50-year-old local actor Steve Yap (叶良财)’s character in the film. While some might think the film would be up her alley, MsPuiyi later admitted to being nervous about her role during the press conference for “KL爱情故事”. The 24-year-old also added that as she had high expectations for herself, she would often discuss “skills” with Steve prior to filming.
“We all hope that the film will be realistic and romantic,” MsPuiyi reportedly stated. “I am very grateful to (Steve) for teaching me (the ropes).” However, her castmates, specifically Steve only had praises for her. “She is very dedicated. (And) not only (is she) punctual, (she) also never complains,” the veteran actor commented.
Aside from Steve and MsPuiyi, the film also stars actors Thomas (郭晓东), Jacqueline Tiang (程玲), Chai Zi (蔡子), Choo Hao Ren (朱浩仁), Tong Bing Yu (童缤毓), Renee (罗丝霓), and Emily Lim (林佩琦). Adorably enough, local celeb Hao Ren shared that he had asked his wife Gladish for “permission” prior to filming intimate scenes. The duo had gotten married in September and are reportedly expecting their first born soon.
Well, we are certainly looking forward to seeing how MsPuiyi will perform on screen! And perhaps, we will get to see her in many other films in the future!
