Flower in The Pocket︱A Film by Liew Seng Tat

This guy is a star, the jewel of the film. Everybody adores him.
He's only 8. He's bright. He's a top student in his school but that's not the reason why I chose him. I've liked him from the moment I saw his photograph that was sent to me. I thought hey, this guy looks exactly like the character I have in mind, poor and dirty with an expression on his face that deserves pity. But he turns out to be a rich kid who's father drives a benz to pick him up after rehearsals.
I was having difficulty choosing him or another 'veteran' child actor, who's talent and ability to act and perform is unquestionable. To choose Zi Jiang is a gamble, and I took it because I had this deep feeling, or intuition that he might be the one despite his zero knowledge in performing/acting. He proves me right. He's managed to do it.
I think he made a star out of himself, overnight. Here comes Wong Zi Jiang, watch out for him.
