Ankerberg: Alright, before I throw it to Mark, give me a summary of those seals that we talked

about, quickly.

Hindson: Okay, in the first seal that He opened you have the beginning of the riders, of the

four horsemen of the Apocalypse, so to speak.

The rider on the white horse goes out to conquer the world, representing the Antichrist; the

red horse, number two, war, the world was eventually plunged into war; and then the

black horse, the third seal, famine; and then the fourth seal, the pale horse that represented

death.

In other words, the Antichrist is coming, but so is war, death and famine.

Then the fifth seal had to do with the martyrs who had given their lives for the cause of

Christ during the time of tribulation.

And then the sixth seal was the great earthquake that shook the planet and caused people to

literally run and hide in the caves and the rocks.

And they're calling on nature, on the rocks, to fall on them, but they're not calling

on God.

And one of the saddest parts of the book of Revelation is that over and over and over

it will say, "and they did not repent," "and they did not repent."

They'd rather die than turn to God.

So the question that's left then is, is there any hope for anybody to come to the

Lord during the time of tribulation?

Ankerberg: Yes.

And we're going to talk about 144,000 people that God picks out in a moment.

But, you know, I remember a professor that sat down with me for an entire day, eight

hours, and he showed me these seals, but from a different part of the Bible.

And you're familiar with that.

Explain what we're talking about.

Dr. Mark Hitchcock: Well, in Matthew 24 we have the final great discourse, or sermon

that Jesus gave from the Mount of Olives about two days before He died on the cross.

And Jesus gave kind of a prophetic outline or a blueprint of the end times.

His disciples asked Him, "When will these things be, what will be the sign of your coming,

the end of the age?"

And Jesus starts out by saying, "You're going to see false Christs and false messiahs";

that's the rider on the white horse.

"Wars and rumors of wars"; that's the rider on the red horse.

There's going to be famine; that's the rider on the black horse; and so on, you go

through.

So Jesus is really giving us in Matthew 24 kind of the condensed version, or kind of

a summary version, of these events in the book of Revelation.

So we can know then that our interpretation of the events in Revelation 6 and these seal

judgments is accurate by going back and seeing if that parallels with what Jesus said back

in Matthew 24.

Ankerberg: Yes.

And it does perfectly.

It's just amazing.

MY NAME IS FAME (2010/HONG KONG) MAKING OF - Duration: 15:18.

Subtitles by WH

Lau: Real perseverance means fighting against any odds

Being in show business is hard to describe. It isn't as tough as you would imagine.

But it's not always a bed of roses either.

The Making of My Name is Fame

I play a young inspiring actress who is new to the film industry

While Sean Lau plays a jaded actor who been in this business for many years now

Lau: Two people chasing their own dreams

Each with their own style of doing things,

and through this encounter and their relationship

inspire each other

Basically love blooms between these two people in the show biz

Essentially it's about setting an example for the people after you

Not only is this a story of a young girl trying to be an actress

Making great sacrifices to realise her dream

This is also a story of a 40 year old jaded guy taking a second chance at his career

by reinventing himself

Director Lawrence:The tabloid papers are always full of stories and gossips on the HK film industry everyday

I think

My feeling is the average audience

would love to have a glimpse of what the HK film industry is really like on the inside

Why don't you share what it is you like about being an actor?

I don't know actually

I can't stand those who calls themselves an actor

but does an half decent job and calls it a day

that's not me at all

My character name in this movie is Pui Kar Fai

He's been a working actor in this business for a number of years now

He started out with a bang, winning the Best Newcomer award

Since then, he sort of drifted around without much acclaim or attention

He slowly became resentful of everything and everyone around

He was not a pleasant guy to be around anymore

Fiona: I star in 'the film' within this film

'the film' stars both me and Sean

I'm supposed be to the bigger star than Sean

So no matter how bad I do in the take,

the film crew will still love me and take my side

this situation

infuriates Sean

because I keep messing up the takes

and having to slap him repeatedly

Actually to be honest, I rather be on the receiving end of the slaps

Having to dish out slaps is a lot of pressure

Ekin: Becoming famous depends on fate

Some will have a bigger role than others

but everyone has opportunity to shine in their role

The key is to preserve and keep going

because nobody can control fame

Nevertheless during this journey

you will either succeed or you don't

Lau: Most of the time, we actors have no real life experience in playing our role

For example, I'm supposed to play the role of a pilot

At the very least, I will still need to do some homework

Being an actor is a complicated process

You have to have confidence in playing the role

So the challenge is finding that confidence within

During the filming process, what will happen is

Everyone will have their own point of view from the producer to the director to the writer

Everyone is experienced and knows their craft

So their point of view is just as credible

But what really matters is

what is the right for the character?

That should always be the focus for the movie

Is it comfortable?

yes it's so pampering

i'm getting spasms

this is the third time

Becoming famous takes

someone like me

i have all the right moves

just look at me *laughs*

Director: A girl who eager to break into movies

she knows someone like Fai can help her go far in this business

So she tries her best to latch onto him

persuade him to be her mentor

to teach her how to really act

how to get into show business

Tung: No matter newcomer or veteran

I think they all can given a good sincere effort

being gifted in acting doesn't mean you don't have to put in the effort

in fact, i hope they would seize this opportunity

treat each opportunity as their one and only chance

then I believe that lady luck will be at your side

Lau: Nobody knows how long this will take

it's hard to know what the director is thinking or looking for

what I can do is listen to the director

understand what he wants

look for a beat

that will invoke an emotion from the director

and go with my guts

that's it

Yam:today scene involves Lau teaching Ah May acting techniques

they requested for some exercise techniques

to back-up the scene

my role here is to recommend some practical techniques to them

emotional memory is invoke emotions from past memories

some requires you to mimic animal behaviour

a lot of time is spent thinking about how to portray a character

which can be difficult to imagine and project

when you approach a character from an animalistic angle

it become much easier to build your character

for example, if i imagine my role is a tiger

you instantly have a picture frame of how your character behaviour is like

how is this character like?

also when you approach your character from this angle

you are using your entire body movement not just your voice

to build up your character

when you go from tiger back to your original role

your body is much more free and confident

so much more casual and natural

Tony: Best actor means everyone wants to work with you?

Being up and down in this industry, i'm pretty jaded

Not everything is about fate

Tony: there are many "secrets" to becoming famous

not just fate

As an actor, there are many types of recognition

one of the ways is

your acting is praised or

every actor wants to be as good as you

your movies are big box-office draws

that's one way of becoming famous

it's not just about the sunglasses

Director: when you are talking about the movie industry

it involves a lot of different roles and jobs

both onscreen and off-screen

when i set out to make this film

i try to get as many of the actual guys to appear onscreen

doing what they have been trained to do and just being themselves

this gives the movie a more realistic look

of the show biz in Hong Kong

you would think appearing onscreen, doing your job and being yourself

sounds like an easy thing to do

but it actually isn't

because when facing the camera

it creates a separate person from the "real" you

you need to act as yourself but at the same time

you need to deliver your performance

that's not an easy thing to do

Nikki: I have never played a lawyer

obviously not in real life

so I need to really step up my game later

and act like a professional

Director: I have worked with Nikki on a commercial before

this is the first time we are working on a film together

Actually I'm really nervous when I'm scolding Lau

Lau: Within this film, we were filming another "film"

that was a very unique experience

when we were filming, there was a camera on-set

that camera was actually filming me

then another camera was filming me within the film from a different angle

this camera captures the other camera along with me

this camera is filming me

when the director yells Cut! I need to hear it twice

then only I can break the performance

when both cameras are actually stopped shooting

but after one night of filming,

I hear the first Cut!

I know we are still filming

Cut! ok now that's a wrap

it's hard to break the performance because you are never sure anymore

somehow I would get the feeling there is another camera still recording!

I just don't know where this 3rd camera is placed. I had that feeling the entire night

it was weird

Director: being confused between what's really filming and what's not

that was partly intentional

the idea was not to give the actors a clear understanding

which is the real camera that is rolling

make it more like a stage play

just a rough idea of what the scene is about

then let the actors play off each other

it was a fun experience

if you organise and plan everything to the tee

the outcome loses the spontaneous energy

that organic film magic that happens on-set

Lau: I'm not even sure if we are actually filming right now *laughs*

Actress: Director Lau is very focused on each camera angle and take

any slight mistake is unacceptable

for the director, there is no such thing as almost there

acting in his films is pretty intense

today we are filming with 2 cameras rolling

it looks very complicated

but looking at the footage on the monitor playback

the footage looks good

even with those camera rolling, the outcome is pretty good

kudos to the team

Lau: The director is quite meticulous

I would get the feeling that he is quietly observing

he would give you the details bit by bit

but throughout the process, he has a clear view of the big picture

he knows what he really wants in the scene

Director: Winning awards is not why I'm doing this

but I believe that it's a very powerful tool

in pushing you forward in this business

I might not think it's that important

but a lot of people puts emphasis on awards

that's a recognition of your abilities and hard work

it's like a badge of honour in some ways

so in the end, I guess I have to acknowledged it's important *laughs*

Lau: Are awards important?

Well if I don't win an award for this

does that means I can give a lesser effort?

if awards are not at stake...

imagine if academy awards and trophies don't exist

does that means everyone can just do a half decent job?

No, that's not the case I believe

I do believe awards are important

but it can't be the only reason why anyone is in this business
