wen is profiled by the SANTA MONICA DAILY NEWS www.smdp.com April 21, 2008, called the "chinese Bird of Santa Monica", L.A. Jazz Scene Feb. 2003, the southland's only jazz newspaper. wen has been in two movies, the recent DRILLBIT TAYLOR staring Owen Wilson, scenes were shot at 3rd St. Promenade, Santa Monica; you'll see Wen 15 minutes into the movie on the right side of the screen playing GIANT STEPS for some tourists. also many scenes were shot around Beverly Hills, Hollywood High etc.
In THE JOY LUCK CLUB, you'll see Wen's shiny alto flute in the band for the Shanghai Night Club scene where Santa Monica's RUSSELL WONG is dancing with the prostitute. This scene was shot at the Filoli Mansion on the peninsula, exteriors and interiors to the mansion of a rich Chinese merchant. The music was actually recorded in Socal; we were given the music and told to mimic the score as it played. The original music actually came from so-called jazz played in Shanghai in the 1930s and transcribed in Hollywood, and the instrumentation in the movie accurately portrayed the instruments used in Shanghai in the 1930s. e.g. there was a violinist and a accordion player in the called Shanghai Jazz Club band. The producers of the movie tried their best to make a good movie which i thought should have an academy award movie except SHINDLERS LIST deservedly won that year.
