OKAY...me, I may sound a bit on the negative side but I don't want to point fingers at anybody until I hear from all sides of this "Noob Nom Phaj" movie war.
Not that I'm on Herlinda or Nom Phaj's side but I just don't want to jump into conclusions. I'm pretty sure the truth lies somewhere between Leng, Nom Phaj, and Herlinda.
I would have to give Nom Phaj a lot of credit for making this movie what it is too. Without his character and his willingness to be the bad guy...this movie wouldn't have been what it is neither.
If you felt strongly that Herlinda and Nom Phaj had stolen you ideas and movie...the question would be...What are you going to do about it? Letting people know on forums like this helps but it doesn't do you any good. While you're throwing your frustrations out for your fans to know...Herlinda is collecting money. Maybe lots of money. I'm pretty sure she's enjoying counting her green cash right now. So...as a fan...I'm going to ask you....WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Well...anyways...Leng, I still say you need to keep your cool and professional attitude. Some producers are here for "ten years" and their movies may be "lame" as YM_GIRL put it...but they must have done something right to be able to stay afloat that long. You got your start fairly good...the right place at the right time...with the right people to help you achieve some success on you movies. You should keep it that way. Lots of producers and directors come and go...they fade away very quickly. You don't want to be among those. You want to be with those who have lasted "ten years."
If I can give you an advice or two, I would say...stay HUMBLE and keep MOVING forward. If you are good at what you do...and truly know what you're doing, I'm sure you'll last at least as long as those producers who had been there for ten or more years. Don't let the success of this one movie "Khib Ciaj Khib Tuag" fool you. Success comes and go. Just make sure you do things right so you outlast HERLINDA. She's been there a long time and I'm pretty sure she'll be here many more years to come. I'm not on her side but I'm just giving you a quick reality check. WHATEVER YOU DO, JUST MAKE SURE YOU OUTLAST EVERYONE ELSE. Otherwise, those other producers whom some of your fans considered their movies, "LAME" will have the last laugh.
