KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — Olympic silver medallists Chan Peng Soon, Goh Liu Ying and Goh V Shem have cameo parts in a local Chinese movie, Goodbye, Mr Loser, being shot in Kuala Lumpur.

In the movie directed by Asia Tropical Films’ Adrian Teh, mixed pair Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying bring their already close ties as partners on the badminton court to a new level where they enact the role of a married couple.

The two were seen filming scenes in a shoot at a flat in Wangsa Maju on Wednesday.

All three shuttlers are novices in the celluloid world and excited about how their new avocation will pan out.

Men’s doubles medallist V Shem said experiencing behind-the-scenes moments for a movie shoot was intimidating, yet fascinating.

“I’ve never done this before,” he said.

“I hope it isn’t my last time acting and I can’t wait for the movie to come out,” he said with a mix of trepidation and expectation.

For Liu Ying, working with Chan on the set was just like partnering him on court.

“The chemistry is still the same, we work well together no matter what we do,” she said.

“It’s funny we are husband and wife on set, the part I enjoy most is being able to shout at him.” she laughed naughtily.

Comparing her experience modelling under the Amber Chia Academy brand to badminton training and now acting, Liu Ying said badminton was still the hardest skill to master.

“Perhaps because I see acting and modelling as a hobby I don’t find them too difficult,” she said.

“I need to constantly better myself in badminton because it is my career.”

Goodbye Mr Loser is a Chinese comedy film about a middle-aged man who dreamt he travels back in time to fix his mistakes and get the girl of his dreams.
