1
00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:02,220
Speaker 1: Hi. Say so this is Zara and welcome to our

2
00:00:02,230 --> 00:00:05,309
Speaker 1: very first episode of Hush extra.

3
00:00:07,309 --> 00:00:11,250
Speaker 1: So what exactly is harsh extra, something extra coming from Hush.

4
00:00:11,260 --> 00:00:15,289
Speaker 1: That's right. Because last episode, we spoke about weddings, the

5
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: craziness of weddings, the crazy amount of money we will

6
00:00:18,329 --> 00:00:21,509
Speaker 1: spend a wedding. That's right. And another aspect of weddings

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,870
Speaker 1: that is very complicated is that

8
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:28,889
Speaker 1: relationship, family dynamics. And today we have a guest who

9
00:00:28,899 --> 00:00:31,569
Speaker 1: knows quite a fair bit about that. He has had

10
00:00:31,579 --> 00:00:36,330
Speaker 1: his own wedding. He has done a series about wedding

11
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:38,860
Speaker 1: with that. Let us give a warm hand to filmmaker

12
00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:40,529
Speaker 1: and director region.

13
00:00:41,659 --> 00:00:45,060
Speaker 1: Hi, welcome. Welcome. Tell us more

14
00:00:45,069 --> 00:00:47,860
Speaker 2: about yourself. Hi, I'm a region. I'm a filmmaker and

15
00:00:47,869 --> 00:00:50,169
Speaker 2: I'm a director of the Wedding Pick and Wedding. But

16
00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:53,119
Speaker 2: series created by a very good friend of mine, Chelsea.

17
00:00:53,490 --> 00:00:53,990
Speaker 2: So we

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: know wedding is a complicated thing. Family even more complicated.

19
00:00:59,130 --> 00:01:01,709
Speaker 1: You put it together. It's chaos basically. Right.

20
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. So is that what wedding pick a wedding bird

21
00:01:04,569 --> 00:01:04,750
Speaker 1: is

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,500
Speaker 2: about? Yeah. So wedding but is actually about two sisters

23
00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:10,540
Speaker 2: who fight for a very expensive family heirloom and which

24
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:13,330
Speaker 2: of course tears them apart and in the story, the

25
00:01:13,339 --> 00:01:16,220
Speaker 2: older sister should get an heirloom. But because the younger

26
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:19,510
Speaker 2: sister gets married first, she's getting a first. So it's

27
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:22,179
Speaker 2: a bit unfair. It's a bit traditional but we see

28
00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:22,489
Speaker 2: them fight

29
00:01:22,629 --> 00:01:25,699
Speaker 2: out. Yeah. So there's a clash of traditions and modernity

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,540
Speaker 1: and for you yourself. Right. You've got siblings.

31
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:31,900
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have one sister, one elder sister and two

32
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:32,779
Speaker 2: younger brothers.

33
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:37,089
Speaker 1: And what would you say your sibling relationship or dynamic

34
00:01:37,099 --> 00:01:37,419
Speaker 1: is with

35
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:40,389
Speaker 2: them? Actually, most of, most of us we are, we

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 2: are pretty good with one another, I think mainly because

37
00:01:42,569 --> 00:01:46,059
Speaker 2: we are very non confrontational. We try to avoid, avoid

38
00:01:47,349 --> 00:01:50,650
Speaker 2: conflicts and if it happens, somehow it happens, we just

39
00:01:51,639 --> 00:01:54,419
Speaker 2: walk away. So that's how we deal with

40
00:01:54,430 --> 00:01:56,239
Speaker 1: it. Well, of course, today we want to understand more

41
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:58,379
Speaker 1: about wedding but, and how different it is from wedding

42
00:01:58,389 --> 00:02:00,180
Speaker 1: p but before that, can you tell us more about

43
00:02:00,190 --> 00:02:02,260
Speaker 1: your personal wedding? How is it? Like

44
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:07,569
Speaker 2: my personal wedding was not the happiest one, but it

45
00:02:07,580 --> 00:02:08,038
Speaker 2: was very

46
00:02:08,050 --> 00:02:09,928
Speaker 1: memorable. Still the tt,

47
00:02:11,008 --> 00:02:14,668
Speaker 2: yeah. So, ah, ok. Where should I start? Well, I

48
00:02:14,679 --> 00:02:18,288
Speaker 2: guess something happened the night before. So the night before

49
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:18,979
Speaker 2: the wedding

50
00:02:19,570 --> 00:02:21,850
Speaker 2: my, my mom came into my room and she said

51
00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:25,149
Speaker 2: she in my room, she wanted to, like, ask me,

52
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,508
Speaker 2: you know, how am I and all? But after that,

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,270
Speaker 2: when she turned around and she saw I have a suit,

54
00:02:30,508 --> 00:02:32,710
Speaker 2: of course. Right. Yeah. And the suit is black. In color.

55
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: So traditionally you can really wear black so black la

56
00:02:36,449 --> 00:02:39,610
Speaker 2: to a, to a wedding. Yeah. Or any, any kind

57
00:02:39,619 --> 00:02:43,699
Speaker 2: of auspicious events. Yeah, but it was 12 midnight. And

58
00:02:43,729 --> 00:02:45,538
Speaker 2: where can I get another suit?

59
00:02:45,550 --> 00:02:47,579
Speaker 1: Right. So she wanted you to change

60
00:02:48,044 --> 00:02:48,875
Speaker 1: the black suit

61
00:02:48,955 --> 00:02:52,455
Speaker 2: somewhat, somewhat. But she an idea, she said, why don't

62
00:02:52,464 --> 00:02:55,434
Speaker 2: you go and buy a bo you put on the,

63
00:02:55,755 --> 00:02:58,554
Speaker 2: for your chairs on the pocket? Then then at least

64
00:02:58,565 --> 00:03:00,645
Speaker 2: there's some life to it. Some colors to it. And

65
00:03:00,654 --> 00:03:05,514
Speaker 2: I say it's tight. Can you get? You can? Yeah.

66
00:03:05,524 --> 00:03:07,204
Speaker 2: Then after that I don't want to get because it's

67
00:03:07,214 --> 00:03:08,663
Speaker 2: 12 at night. It's so late tomorrow I have to

68
00:03:08,675 --> 00:03:11,774
Speaker 2: wake up at 5 a.m. to prepare all the stuff.

69
00:03:11,895 --> 00:03:12,434
Speaker 2: And then,

70
00:03:12,830 --> 00:03:15,339
Speaker 2: ah, it's my fault because I didn't know that actually,

71
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:19,288
Speaker 2: my wife already prepared the Boer. So the plan was,

72
00:03:19,508 --> 00:03:22,169
Speaker 2: the plan was the next morning I go to her

73
00:03:22,179 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: place before the gate crash and all I go to

74
00:03:23,889 --> 00:03:25,949
Speaker 2: a place that I collect from her and my mom

75
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,589
Speaker 2: still said she's, she's quite traditional. She said that cannot

76
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,339
Speaker 2: do that when you touch, when you, when you step

77
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:33,970
Speaker 2: out of the house, you must be ready in that

78
00:03:33,979 --> 00:03:38,039
Speaker 2: full set and then you go to her place. Prepare. Yeah.

79
00:03:38,050 --> 00:03:39,889
Speaker 2: So we cannot do this kind of arrangements. So it's

80
00:03:39,899 --> 00:03:41,250
Speaker 2: very rigid. A lot of,

81
00:03:41,899 --> 00:03:45,940
Speaker 2: ah, a lot of these traditional stuff that place. So,

82
00:03:45,949 --> 00:03:48,410
Speaker 2: in the end, I think we argue, argue, argue a

83
00:03:48,419 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: lot of drama involved my my wife's family also my

84
00:03:52,009 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: in laws. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah,

85
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:58,250
Speaker 1: I mean if you had gone to fair price and

86
00:03:58,259 --> 00:04:01,559
Speaker 1: gotten it, you have been there. Yeah.

87
00:04:03,149 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: So a bit of regret, bit of regret. But I

88
00:04:06,889 --> 00:04:09,210
Speaker 2: but because that was not the first time that happened.

89
00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:12,970
Speaker 2: So a month before we did quarterly, OK. Something else

90
00:04:12,979 --> 00:04:15,250
Speaker 2: like that also happened. So it kind of builds up

91
00:04:15,259 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: and then to the point of the wedding where I

92
00:04:17,049 --> 00:04:20,869
Speaker 2: think my family, not my mom, especially not very happy

93
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,269
Speaker 2: with my performance.

94
00:04:23,619 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it was, it was not the happiest but

95
00:04:26,329 --> 00:04:29,470
Speaker 2: still very happy because I finally got married. It was

96
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,868
Speaker 2: a very long and arduous process with especially with COVID. Very,

97
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,969
Speaker 2: very difficult. Yeah. But we are just glad that it's over.

98
00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:39,500
Speaker 2: We're married. I have a ring on my finger

99
00:04:40,529 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: child.

100
00:04:42,859 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: I also read in an article whereby you say you

101
00:04:46,209 --> 00:04:47,779
Speaker 1: would have preferred to do without the go. Oh

102
00:04:48,510 --> 00:04:49,890
Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah. Without the go.

103
00:04:50,609 --> 00:04:52,618
Speaker 1: I feel you. I mean, as young people, I feel

104
00:04:52,630 --> 00:04:55,100
Speaker 1: like we don't want to spend time and effort on

105
00:04:55,109 --> 00:04:58,250
Speaker 1: these things for what just to fulfill certain traditions. Yeah,

106
00:04:58,350 --> 00:05:01,339
Speaker 1: there's no point, right? But I would assume that your

107
00:05:01,350 --> 00:05:03,029
Speaker 1: parents have wanted it. Correct.

108
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,829
Speaker 2: Yeah. So you know what we do it, we do

109
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,958
Speaker 2: it for the bride family, right? Because we want to

110
00:05:07,970 --> 00:05:09,529
Speaker 2: show our sincerity, my family on the shows

111
00:05:09,915 --> 00:05:11,924
Speaker 2: and say that we are very sincere. We really want

112
00:05:11,934 --> 00:05:15,005
Speaker 2: to marry your wife. She comes at the value. But

113
00:05:15,015 --> 00:05:17,553
Speaker 2: when I asked my in laws, they said that to

114
00:05:17,584 --> 00:05:19,625
Speaker 2: do that. They were like adamant and don't do it,

115
00:05:19,635 --> 00:05:22,135
Speaker 2: please don't do it. But my side they say that

116
00:05:22,144 --> 00:05:23,795
Speaker 2: you must do it. You must show sincerity.

117
00:05:23,915 --> 00:05:26,725
Speaker 1: Usually it's the other way around, the bride wants it,

118
00:05:26,975 --> 00:05:27,415
Speaker 1: you know,

119
00:05:27,785 --> 00:05:29,524
Speaker 2: and it's the other way around. It's easier. So like, ok,

120
00:05:29,535 --> 00:05:31,524
Speaker 2: I just do it because it's for you anyway. Yeah.

121
00:05:31,535 --> 00:05:32,945
Speaker 2: But this time they don't want to do it in

122
00:05:32,954 --> 00:05:34,445
Speaker 2: my mind. So I want to do it. Then I

123
00:05:34,454 --> 00:05:37,904
Speaker 2: had to another argument and say that so traditional and then,

124
00:05:37,915 --> 00:05:39,065
Speaker 2: and all. Yeah.

125
00:05:39,529 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: And then during COVID times so a bit difficult to arrange,

126
00:05:42,488 --> 00:05:45,989
Speaker 2: difficult to get all the items. Yeah. So another ho

127
00:05:46,140 --> 00:05:49,058
Speaker 2: ha another fight. I have a short film on that

128
00:05:50,988 --> 00:05:51,988
Speaker 2: inspired by it.

129
00:05:52,329 --> 00:05:55,409
Speaker 2: Yeah. And my boys, I mean, it comes down to

130
00:05:55,420 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: traditions and traditions and if the next generation, we should

131
00:05:59,609 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: follow all these traditions and if it's even necessary to do.

132
00:06:02,010 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: So

133
00:06:02,459 --> 00:06:05,988
Speaker 1: that's the thing, that's the thing about weddings, about family

134
00:06:06,049 --> 00:06:08,619
Speaker 1: as the one getting married, you feel like it should

135
00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:11,890
Speaker 1: just be about us, right? The opinion of two people

136
00:06:11,899 --> 00:06:14,149
Speaker 1: to find a compromise is hard enough. And then you

137
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,649
Speaker 1: add in two families, right? Because you're not just marrying

138
00:06:17,660 --> 00:06:20,649
Speaker 1: your partner, you're marrying the entire family sometimes you want

139
00:06:20,660 --> 00:06:21,690
Speaker 1: to think that it's my wedding.

140
00:06:21,971 --> 00:06:26,671
Speaker 1: But like for your parents, maybe they're all excited and

141
00:06:26,682 --> 00:06:29,462
Speaker 1: then everybody wants to have a say in something. It's

142
00:06:29,471 --> 00:06:31,861
Speaker 1: hard for me. I don't want to do the gold,

143
00:06:32,122 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: but I have one fear in my heart and that

144
00:06:34,212 --> 00:06:37,381
Speaker 1: is my marriage will be cursed. You know, the, you say,

145
00:06:37,391 --> 00:06:39,101
Speaker 1: I know they always say that you have to do

146
00:06:39,111 --> 00:06:41,950
Speaker 1: this because according to tradition is good luck is auspicious

147
00:06:41,962 --> 00:06:45,161
Speaker 1: for your marriage. So I'd be like, oh man, then

148
00:06:45,171 --> 00:06:46,462
Speaker 1: what if I don't want to do it when my

149
00:06:46,471 --> 00:06:47,812
Speaker 1: marriage be cursed? I think you can

150
00:06:47,832 --> 00:06:50,301
Speaker 2: do a truncated one. So you at least do it.

151
00:06:50,312 --> 00:06:51,101
Speaker 2: But it's not easy.

152
00:06:51,664 --> 00:06:53,104
Speaker 2: Is a man

153
00:06:53,113 --> 00:06:58,334
Speaker 1: getting married is like t business. I swear. I mean,

154
00:06:58,343 --> 00:07:01,334
Speaker 1: I've heard it so many times over and over again

155
00:07:01,343 --> 00:07:04,634
Speaker 1: after someone gets married, they go, I swear, I'm never

156
00:07:04,644 --> 00:07:08,894
Speaker 1: planning another wedding ever again. There we go. OK. A

157
00:07:08,903 --> 00:07:11,933
Speaker 1: quick fire round questions. Region. We're gonna ask you a

158
00:07:11,944 --> 00:07:14,454
Speaker 1: couple questions. It's a to choose one kind of thing

159
00:07:14,463 --> 00:07:16,123
Speaker 1: and you're gonna pick the answer right off the top

160
00:07:16,134 --> 00:07:19,134
Speaker 1: of your head. Ok. First question. If your family possesses

161
00:07:19,144 --> 00:07:20,734
Speaker 1: an heirloom traditionally pass

162
00:07:20,835 --> 00:07:23,536
Speaker 1: down to the first to marry, would you claim it

163
00:07:23,545 --> 00:07:25,895
Speaker 1: or would you preserve it for your younger siblings?

164
00:07:26,135 --> 00:07:28,895
Speaker 2: This is assuming that I'm the first born. No,

165
00:07:28,906 --> 00:07:29,895
Speaker 1: you're the first to get

166
00:07:29,906 --> 00:07:32,036
Speaker 2: married on the first to get married, correct? So it's

167
00:07:32,045 --> 00:07:36,295
Speaker 2: supposed to go to the first person, first person to get. Ok. Ok.

168
00:07:36,305 --> 00:07:40,485
Speaker 2: So it's like the wedding, wedding, wedding. Pick it. Yes. Yeah,

169
00:07:40,496 --> 00:07:42,466
Speaker 2: I think, I think I'm cool with it. Just pass

170
00:07:42,476 --> 00:07:44,696
Speaker 2: it down whoever gets married first and get the price

171
00:07:44,705 --> 00:07:46,596
Speaker 2: even if it is not you. Yeah, I think, I

172
00:07:46,605 --> 00:07:49,235
Speaker 2: think it's fine. My siblings, we are non confrontational so

173
00:07:49,246 --> 00:07:50,156
Speaker 2: I'll just give it to them.

174
00:07:51,059 --> 00:07:55,450
Speaker 1: What a nice brother. Ok. Question number two. Traditional wedding

175
00:07:55,459 --> 00:07:57,070
Speaker 1: or modern wedding. Definitely

176
00:07:57,079 --> 00:08:01,390
Speaker 2: modern. But your mom would not agree to agree. It's

177
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:02,649
Speaker 2: not possible but I prefer for.

178
00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: So your wedding was a traditional eight course dinner kind

179
00:08:05,769 --> 00:08:06,089
Speaker 1: of thing.

180
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,910
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. Yeah. If I had a choice, wouldn't

181
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,059
Speaker 2: need a wedding at all. You just sign them done.

182
00:08:12,089 --> 00:08:14,109
Speaker 2: Save so much trouble, save so much money. I hope

183
00:08:14,119 --> 00:08:16,429
Speaker 1: your mother does not listen to this episode. This is

184
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,779
Speaker 1: why I'm starting a company to help people. Look

185
00:08:20,630 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: OK. Third question. Big grand wedding or small intimate affair,

186
00:08:24,929 --> 00:08:25,529
Speaker 1: small intimate

187
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:26,510
Speaker 2: affair, sir.

188
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:28,649
Speaker 1: How many people did you have for your wedding? Were

189
00:08:28,660 --> 00:08:32,710
Speaker 1: your parents like wanted to invite everybody and anybody, everybody

190
00:08:32,729 --> 00:08:33,150
Speaker 1: in the film

191
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: industry. If it was not for COVID, they wanted 100

192
00:08:36,010 --> 00:08:39,789
Speaker 2: tables during the there's like 1000 1000 people, 1000 people.

193
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,039
Speaker 2: I was like, I I cannot do this, I cannot

194
00:08:43,049 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: afford this. But what

195
00:08:44,530 --> 00:08:46,452
Speaker 1: help you with the cause? I mean they wanted it.

196
00:08:46,552 --> 00:08:48,830
Speaker 2: They invite those people say, if you want it, then

197
00:08:48,841 --> 00:08:51,242
Speaker 2: you have to pay for it first. But I mean,

198
00:08:51,252 --> 00:08:53,581
Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter because, I mean, their friends are

199
00:08:53,591 --> 00:08:57,091
Speaker 2: pretty well to do so you will earn it back.

200
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,470
Speaker 2: But I think the issue is not, not so much

201
00:08:59,481 --> 00:09:01,502
Speaker 2: of the money but a lot of the logistics, you know,

202
00:09:01,511 --> 00:09:06,322
Speaker 2: you have to plan so 100 tables. Not funny. But

203
00:09:06,331 --> 00:09:08,511
Speaker 2: because of COVID, I think we managed to, I think

204
00:09:08,854 --> 00:09:12,382
Speaker 2: with only 500 I think still a lot LA is

205
00:09:12,414 --> 00:09:15,653
Speaker 2: half 50 100 tables, right? You have to go around

206
00:09:15,664 --> 00:09:18,314
Speaker 2: taking photos with 100 days of people. So you have

207
00:09:18,323 --> 00:09:19,174
Speaker 2: to smell for like

208
00:09:20,484 --> 00:09:25,013
Speaker 1: 100 times. That's the top of his concerns 100 times. Ok.

209
00:09:25,023 --> 00:09:29,184
Speaker 1: Wedding gifts or wedding, wedding for sure, man. That's why

210
00:09:29,193 --> 00:09:32,544
Speaker 1: I pick also use practical wedding for sure.

211
00:09:32,796 --> 00:09:37,145
Speaker 1: Ok. Question follow up question. Was there an impractical wedding

212
00:09:37,155 --> 00:09:38,866
Speaker 1: gift that you got? Ah

213
00:09:38,945 --> 00:09:41,986
Speaker 2: I don't know if you say this but we got

214
00:09:42,015 --> 00:09:45,215
Speaker 2: a photo frame? I cannot, I cannot say what brand

215
00:09:45,895 --> 00:09:49,705
Speaker 2: but it's a very shiny photo frame. Ok. I think

216
00:09:49,716 --> 00:09:52,195
Speaker 2: cost over $100 and my wife and I saw it

217
00:09:52,205 --> 00:09:54,135
Speaker 2: and I was like, I think we don't need it.

218
00:09:54,385 --> 00:09:55,684
Speaker 2: Let's just put on carousel.

219
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,340
Speaker 2: I think they were, it's quite high demand. I think

220
00:10:03,349 --> 00:10:05,119
Speaker 2: maybe they want to buy the gift someone else. I

221
00:10:05,130 --> 00:10:09,619
Speaker 2: don't know. Yeah, because if you have such a shiny

222
00:10:09,630 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: photo frame, it's I don't know distracts you from the picture, right?

223
00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:16,429
Speaker 1: You have a good point. Ok. So that's one of

224
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,340
Speaker 1: the more impractical ones. What about the most practical wedding

225
00:10:19,390 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: gift? Most practical? I don't know, man,

226
00:10:23,109 --> 00:10:29,239
Speaker 2: I don't think I have any practical wedding gifts. Right. Yeah,

227
00:10:29,250 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 2: I think the,

228
00:10:31,239 --> 00:10:34,419
Speaker 1: is the gift of finance helps you cover the cost

229
00:10:34,429 --> 00:10:37,349
Speaker 1: and stuff like that? Ok. What's the biggest pa that

230
00:10:37,359 --> 00:10:41,140
Speaker 1: you have received on your wedding, do you remember?

231
00:10:41,210 --> 00:10:42,689
Speaker 2: Yeah, I recorded it down. Oh,

232
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:44,049
Speaker 1: nice.

233
00:10:44,469 --> 00:10:47,179
Speaker 2: Love it. I think, I think it was over 1000. Yeah.

234
00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:49,349
Speaker 2: And there were quite a few of it. Yeah.

235
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,090
Speaker 2: These people are there. What to do. They give my,

236
00:10:51,099 --> 00:10:55,609
Speaker 2: my family face. Yeah. So it doesn't go in my pocket.

237
00:10:55,619 --> 00:10:58,429
Speaker 2: I have to pay for the banker and I had

238
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,909
Speaker 2: a deal with my parents. I said that if you're

239
00:10:59,919 --> 00:11:02,169
Speaker 2: going to pay for the banquet, then you can also

240
00:11:02,179 --> 00:11:05,020
Speaker 2: have it. So that's a deal. I don't know how

241
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:08,130
Speaker 2: much she profited, how much she lost. But I think,

242
00:11:08,140 --> 00:11:09,989
Speaker 2: I think at least we broke even. So I think

243
00:11:10,390 --> 00:11:11,650
Speaker 2: we are very, very thankful

244
00:11:11,659 --> 00:11:14,419
Speaker 1: that I'm very sure it's a profit. I don't know, man. Honestly,

245
00:11:14,429 --> 00:11:16,049
Speaker 1: I've been listening to people like now,

246
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: apparently it's hard to even break even. Right. Right. Like

247
00:11:19,890 --> 00:11:22,829
Speaker 1: a wedding lunch at a restaurant can go up to

248
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,270
Speaker 1: like 230 bucks.

249
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,119
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. It's like after the COVID. Yeah, the price

250
00:11:27,130 --> 00:11:29,590
Speaker 2: is like, so, so inflated. I have, I have two

251
00:11:29,599 --> 00:11:31,900
Speaker 2: weddings to attend this weekend. You know, so I'm going

252
00:11:31,909 --> 00:11:32,900
Speaker 2: to be broke after that.

253
00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:36,530
Speaker 1: Ok. On the other hand, what is the biggest Pao

254
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:36,909
Speaker 1: you've

255
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:41,869
Speaker 2: given? Oh, not a lot, I guess,

256
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,459
Speaker 2: maybe 200. Yeah. But it really depends on the market

257
00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:47,929
Speaker 2: just to cover the,

258
00:11:48,270 --> 00:11:50,900
Speaker 1: cover the cost. You also go to Singapore wedding

259
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,020
Speaker 2: also depends on the relationship that you have with the person.

260
00:11:56,030 --> 00:11:58,059
Speaker 2: If you're probably closer to them. I think the friends

261
00:11:58,070 --> 00:12:00,968
Speaker 2: around me, their weddings are not so flamboyant, they're actually

262
00:12:00,979 --> 00:12:04,010
Speaker 2: quite simple. They are, they are like buffet wanted to

263
00:12:04,020 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: do that and I got scolded. So I can't

264
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,429
Speaker 1: OK, last question, tell us more about wedding but, and,

265
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,020
Speaker 1: and how it evolved from Wedding P

266
00:12:12,349 --> 00:12:15,090
Speaker 2: so Wedding P started as a play, my good friend Chelsea.

267
00:12:15,099 --> 00:12:17,489
Speaker 2: She wrote it. I think the stage play was so

268
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:19,469
Speaker 2: good vy, I got the rights to it. And then

269
00:12:19,479 --> 00:12:21,390
Speaker 2: we came up with a series. I think the series

270
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,909
Speaker 2: was pretty well received, I think especially with El and

271
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,489
Speaker 2: Regina's performance. A lot of love their performance, love their

272
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,569
Speaker 2: characters and then media c

273
00:12:28,825 --> 00:12:30,444
Speaker 2: and then they decided to do OK, then we do

274
00:12:30,455 --> 00:12:33,635
Speaker 2: an audio drama with it. Yeah. So for Wedding, but

275
00:12:33,645 --> 00:12:35,494
Speaker 2: we actually expanded the world a lot of things in

276
00:12:35,505 --> 00:12:37,994
Speaker 2: the video series. We cannot do like going to Paris,

277
00:12:38,005 --> 00:12:40,844
Speaker 2: going back to the fifties or sixties. We cannot do

278
00:12:40,854 --> 00:12:43,375
Speaker 2: all these in film in the video because it was

279
00:12:43,385 --> 00:12:45,765
Speaker 2: so it will be so costly, very impractical. But a

280
00:12:45,955 --> 00:12:48,244
Speaker 2: you just add some sound effects. I just add some

281
00:12:49,125 --> 00:12:49,284
Speaker 2: audio

282
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:55,039
Speaker 2: French. French passes by all these and then we can

283
00:12:55,049 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: create a world that can get listeners to imagine what

284
00:12:58,090 --> 00:12:59,820
Speaker 2: it would be like if they were in Paris.

285
00:12:59,830 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: This is why I love radio audio element with the

286
00:13:02,969 --> 00:13:07,659
Speaker 1: step of finger. There you are across the world. So exciting. Wow.

287
00:13:07,780 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 1: So let's say someone hasn't watched Wedding Pig. Can they

288
00:13:11,609 --> 00:13:13,869
Speaker 1: still listen to Wedding? But and get it

289
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,530
Speaker 2: definitely, I think all the more you should listen to Wedding.

290
00:13:16,539 --> 00:13:19,929
Speaker 2: But because we have more stories, we have more back stories. Yeah.

291
00:13:20,043 --> 00:13:22,882
Speaker 2: Can understand the characters more, you can feel for the

292
00:13:22,893 --> 00:13:26,152
Speaker 2: characters more and the characters are we expanded so that

293
00:13:26,163 --> 00:13:29,312
Speaker 2: he has a fuller art is more complete and we

294
00:13:29,322 --> 00:13:32,122
Speaker 2: have more perspectives on the same, on the same issue.

295
00:13:32,252 --> 00:13:34,533
Speaker 1: Exciting. I can't wait for that to happen. So it's

296
00:13:34,543 --> 00:13:37,922
