But sometimes you have to put down that voice in the back of your head screaming 'Me! Me! Me!' and ask, 'O.K., if I get the recognition, what will be the cost to me?'"

...experience. But that rush of self-esteem in Bostonian veins was sucked straight out of the Montreal faithful, victims of a seemingly doomed franchise. In Monday’s game, a grandmother escorted her nine-year old grandson to the V.I.P. section.

As the crew disperses into the night, a young woman sidles up to Feng for an autograph. Feng looks surprised, scratches his head and points to Sutherland. "No, he's the famous one," he says, a lopsided grin taking over his face. "Big Hollywood man. Me, I'm just an ordinary guy." That's the creed that makes Feng China's top director: keeping it funny...
