When Filming, Show Lo Believes in Demonic Forces, Helps Coco Chiang Obtain a Red Envelope

When Show "Xiao Zhu [Little Pig]" Lo films, he has lots of little superstitious habits. Like sitting in a wheelchair, or putting on handcuffs, he has to obtain a red envelope just take extra care. He also doesn't forget to remind other actors to obtain a red envelope as well! When Coco Chiang was lifted into the ambulance, Show had helped her get a red envelope too.

When actors do car accident or death scenes, the production usually would obtain red envelopes to prevent/relieve disaster. Show had once not believed in such sayings, but after he starred in "Youth of the Butterfly Lovers," where the butterfly lovers became butterflies, the production had requested that he keep an envelope, but Show insisted on not taking it. After the filming, he got a fever, and was sick for an entire week. He took medication and they couldn't quite put their finger on the origin of the sickness. So now he's extremely careful and wholly believes in the superstition.

Show would also remind the other actors as well. Like a scene in "Hot Shot," Coco Chiang was arranged to have a heart attack, faint, and then sent to the hospital by ambulance. When Coco saw the ambulance, she was going to get on, but Show stopped her and asked her to grab a red envelope first. This made the very western-cultured Coco confused. The disaster preventing red envelopes don't usually contain too much money, about $50 to $100. After getting a red envelope, you will just put it by you and after the filming, you will take the money from the red envelope and buy drinks for everyone, basically, you just have to immediately spend it!

oohh xiao zhu.. I totally agree with you.. from I was a little child i always believed in these things.. so.. don't worry if someone says it's a crazy thing... -_-

oooh. i didn't know of this superstition. i only heard of people praying before doing all those scenes, at least, in singapore. maybe they have the red packet thing too just that it wasn't made known. (:

oh that's the first time that i heard of that...i have a lot of Chinese friends but i didnt hear anything regarding that one. Anyway, SHOW is really caring to only to his own family but also to the people surrounds him..

im so touched!
