Wu, member of Taiwanese pop boy band F4, who has a one-year abstinence plan in place to honour God, distinguishes his work and private life clearly.In new movie "Kung Fu Chef", his relationship with Kago Ai remained pure and innocent; he said the lack of kissing scenes has nothing to do with abstinence. In fact, he does not resist intimate scenes."It's acting and not real." He added that he has not set any restrictions for his onscreen performances, but will select scripts very carefully."I think what is most important is the script; the story, direction of the movie and director's vision. I will not easily take on something like 'Lust, Caution'. But if the director is Ang Lee, then it's ok. I'll do it," he laughed.From his first film "Star Runner" to "Dragon Squad", "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon" and most recently "Kung Fu Chef", Wu was unable to detach his onscreen persona with martial arts. However, this was not specially arranged for."I do not have a particular direction that I would like to pursue. Any characters that are challenging will interest me.""Kung Fu Chef" combines martial art and culinary skills; despite their stark differences, Wu see them as a commonality."Kung fu is a form of exercise. It trains up one's self-discipline and lets you understand your ability. Cooking is also a form of kung fu. Every dish needs skills; the simpler the dish, the harder it is to create. Knife skills are also part of it," he said.With an interest in martial arts and habit in frequenting the gym with his friend Jimmy Hong, Wu insisted on engaging in the actions by himself in the movie."I did insist on doing some fight scenes by myself; but when I need a stuntman to replace me, I will let the stuntman do it. When we make action films, injuries such as strains and bruises are inevitable. So we have to remember to stretch and warm up," Wu said.With five movies and seven movies on his portfolio and experiences, come higher expectations. "It should not be hard to breakthrough. There are self-expectations; but what is breakthrough, I don't know. I don't know how to work towards breakthrough. I only know how to do my best in the things I do. I don't think I need to be better than the previous time. It's a learning process, not a competition."Wu is currently boss of movie production company Smash & Grabs Productions, which he set up with Hong, son of action actor Sammo Hong, where they produce, direct, invest in films and screenplay."We have started work in name of the company. Jimmy's script is temporarily named 'Gulliver's Travel'. That is his script so he will be directing," he said. However, Wu refused to reveal or predict when the film will begin shooting or screening. He said, "You'd have to ask him.">.
