I finally returned to Shanghai this last week and it has been a busy week of finishing filming with HuaYi brothers, interviewing with Shganghai TV magazine, and appearing as a guest star on the new family game show “Quanjia dou lai sai.”  My “family” for the day were a lot of fun to work with and they are all really talented.  Dad 吴森培 Mom 陈维平 brother 吴玺铭 and sister-in-law 周儒瑜 can all dance Latin Ballroom and they all competed in Wulin Dahui

我上周回到上海，便开始忙起来，完成华谊兄弟的电视剧拍摄，接受上海电视的采访，以明星嘉宾的身份参加“全家都来赛”。我和那天的“家庭”一起非常愉快，他们都很有天赋。爸爸吴森培，妈妈陈维平，哥哥吴玺铭，嫂子周儒瑜，他们都会跳拉丁，并且都参加了舞林大会。

I have been having so much fun spending time with my family for Christmas and New Year’s that I have neglected updating my blog.  So I thought I’d post some pictures just to let you all know how I’m doing and how much fun this holiday has been.

与我的家人一起度过圣诞节和新年实在乐趣无穷，以至于我忽略了更新博客。所以我想我应该放一些照片上来，让大家了解我过的如何、这个假期是多么有意思。

 
It’s been a busy past few days trying to finish up filming all my scenes in time to go home for Christmas.  I’m starting to see more and more the difficulties of being an actor and filming for a big drama series.  It’s not uncommon to start your day at 4:30 a.m. for hair and make-up and then film till all hours of the night.  But I love it!

为了回家过圣诞节，过去的几天我都忙于完成自己所有镜头的拍摄。作为一名演员，并在一部大型电视剧中演出，我体会到越来越多的困难。清晨4：30开始作发型、化妆，然后一直拍摄到深夜，这是很不一般的。但是我爱它！

I’ve been really busy lately filming for “I love you so I’m leaving you” trying to finish up all my scenes in time for Christmas.  But I promised that I would share some pictures, so here they are : )

最近我正忙于“爱你所以离开你”的拍摄，争取在圣诞前完成我所有的戏。我答应过要和大家分享一些照片的，现在送上: )

Look how pensive I look on set….the deeper side of Benji : )

现场的我看起来多么忧愁啊。。。这是Benji深沉的一面: )

Last week was Thanksgiving in America, so first of all I want to wish you all a late Happy Thanksgiving : )  I've come to think more and more that gratitude is an important part of a happy life, so I'm grateful for a holiday that reminds us to be grateful.  But for me and many other Americans, one of the best parts about Thanksgiving is that it marks the beginning of Christmas!!!  : )  Starting on Thanksgiving day we start listening to all our Christmas music and you can feel the anticipation of Christmas in the air.

上周是美国的感恩节，先给大家送上一份

 与华谊兄弟的合作

Starting next week I will be filming the new Hua Yi Brother's TV drama series “I Love You, so I am Leaving You.”  I am really excited to work with Hua Yi Brother's on this project.  After guest starring in a number of roles on various sit-coms and TV shows, this is my first more substantial role in a TV drama series.  This role will also be a fun challenge for me because my character is a young CEO of an advertising company with different relationship issues and life experiences that I have not experienced in my life, but that is part of w

 
One of the many things that I love about living in Shanghai is that there are always amazing concerts and performances to go too.  Not only do I get to go to see a lot of the touring Broadway shows that I love, but occasionally I also get to see some of my favorite artists live in concert.

喜欢呆在上海，其中一个原因在于上海有太多美妙的演唱会和表演。我不但可以去看很多喜欢的百老汇巡回表演，不时地还能去听听钟爱艺人的演唱会。

I was recently invited to be the guest star for the pilot episode of “Shanghai Quest”, a new TV show scheduled to air for the launch of Shanghai TV’s new international station.  As many of you have probably heard, the new international station will be Shanghai’s first English speaking TV station, so it is exciting to be able to be a part of this historical event. 
最近我应邀客串了Shanghai Quest的试映片，这是一档将在上海新国际台播出的电视节目。也许你们已经听说了，新国际台将成为上海首个英语电视台，很高兴能参与这个有纪念意义的节目。

It’s already been a week since the long break for National Day.  I hope that everyone had a nice rest and are now getting settled back into work and school : )  I never got to share the rest of my pictures from my trip to Guang Xi, so I thought I would put them on here.

国庆长假已经过了一周了。我希望大家都能安然回到各自的工作或学习中：）我还没有和大家分享其他一些广西之旅的照片，所以就在这里放一些吧。

 Witnessing the Hope of Guang Xi

观赏广西的希望

The past few days I spent in Guang Xi with the Shanghai Movie Company for the donation and foundation-laying ceremony of the Xin Yang Shi Rui Hope Elementary School (新阳诗睿希望小学).  The picture below is a candid shot from when a bunch of the students surrounded me with their bunches of flowers.  I think that the joy and smiles on their faces represent the hope that life offers each of us regardless of our circumstances.

过去的几天我随上海电影集团有限公司一起在广西参加了新阳诗睿希望小学的捐赠奠基
