Nicholas Tse gives a talk at HKUST (謝霆鋒香港科技大學講座)

On 19 April 2012, Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒) kicked off the Asian Leadership Series at HKUST (香港科技大學) with a talk on his entrepreneurial success. In the format of an interview with HKUST undergraduate students, Mr Tse talked with HKUST students and staff about his experience in developing a creative enterprise called Post Production Office Group, his management philosophy, and his personal development as a young leader. The talk was organized by the Center for Business Case Studies.

Nicholas Tse is my favorite Man

[@kanzteo]

He is so wise at such a young age. The way he inspires his workers to work for themselves rather than using fear to control them is very wise. 以德服人. Even when his family discourage him to do business with disparaging remarks, he still went on to start his business. That is the mark of a true enterpreneur. A truly laudable man!

[@khungsugiarto]

U got my respect..Nic...just awesome ...great speech...

[@cookieboy15]

glad to see that he was humble about his academic (or lack of academic, rather) background at the beginning of his speech. give him credit where credit is due.

[@jayh88888]

I'm impressed with Nicholas Tse. He holds his fort with the academics. True thoroughbred in the world of biz.

[@creepcrappy]

I'm from M'sia, just officially stepped into the post production line as a 3D artist last year after graduated frm college. It's so inspiring and gives me a new perspective of Malaysia's post production (even he says nothing abt it), and gives me courage on making my own CGI short film which I had failed for so many times. Thanks for whoever that uploaded this video, all the best to everyone who pursuing their dreams. And btw thanks for visiting my country for the company trip.

[@rachelfcy]

i feel so touched... such a great father, entrepreneur & actor!!! he is talented n funny n has passion of achieving his goal!! HE IS THE BEST!!!

[@happyrabbit2011]

Making me to Think Big and what i passionate the most. Thank you so much, Nick!!

[@jacey23ng]

i love the way he answer the last question... very touching.... applause!

[@Cstephyc]

truly inspirational, I would think it's every work class's dream to work for a person like Nicolas

[@happyrabbit2011]

Love his sharing!!!!!

[@ChyeHeng17]

This guy changed my perspective towards him from what I've known him as an actor, singer etc. I kinda heard his success story obscurely. But, through this video, he earns my respect for him. Very inspirational talk !

[@dianairish]

hats off!!! deep sincere respect for tis man! truly inspiring :)

[@misslilyteacher]

My guy friends went to the same school as him in Vancouver. They said he had a tough time and often got in fights. It's too bad he didn't graduate from highschool, the school he went to was an all boy's private school-very elite. It's charming to hear him talk with a slight Canadian (a bit of HK too?) accent, and saying things like "grade 10", instead of "tenth grade", which is what Americans say. Anyway, thank you for the upload. It gave me a nice break from my studies ^^

[@qVICKYq]

This video gave me a whole new perspective about him. His speech truly shows his character and personality well. He is so well spoken, intelligent, passionate, and hard working. I admire him so much. He is not only a major movie star/singer, he is also a young successful business man. NNcholas Tse is amazing.

[@kvc5264]

Nicholas has done WELL!!

[@kentonma]

Great speech and well said

[@jiayangguo6019]

For the first time I found he is so charming not only because of his appearance, but he is also a hardworking,ambitious and mature business man. He is so gentle, patient and thoughtful. He is different from the actor and singer Nicolas in stage or movie. He is shining all the time when he is delivering the speech.

[@leungvanson6151]

every year must watch one time! This is a very inspiring presentation, although it is actually a recruitment advertisement

[@happyrabbit2011]

Making me to think Big and what i passionate the most!!Thank you,Nick!!

[@ChyeHeng17]

Man...It's now 3:47am my time, and I watched this from beginning till the end. I thought to watch just for a while initially, and continue tomorrow morning. But, who knows, he's truly an inspirational young leader, and I like his personality. I gained so much valuable knowledge & insights from this 1.23 hours. For those of you who hesitate to watch it because of the duration of the video (I had the same thought earlier LOL), watch it, especially if you are going for entrepreneurship journey.

[@24feeling]

I really need to say this, you inspire me more and more everyday~To my only and the hottest idol, SALUTE!!

[@aaronsam6165]

I like him a lot. He having successful business and entertainment industry but fail at family.It might have come from his tight schedule from business and show biz. so he might have had less attention to family. but after all, it's worth coz he'd achieved what he had dream. so i got a lesson from him that nobody can perfect in everything. but he still got a chance to do what he wants. He is very admirable human. love him

[@suneason]

positive and humble, touching and inspiring speech. a Awesome person, those quality he has really makes what he is.

[@nbsxtheresa]

thank you.

[@anlwong]

I can see kindness and good intention from Nic to those students by willing to share his other side which he doesn't necessary have to. We can be benefited from learning how he lives life to be successful. He has definitely much more substance than those "stars" who can only talk rubbish daily on their weibo. I can see the tireness, hard efforts and suffering but still with good conscience and thankfulness on his non artificial face!

[@1014samantha]

salute and respect! he's truly a great successful actor as well as father. was so touched when i saw the last few line of his video clip dedicate to his son Lucas. :..)

[@yclau1613]

There're just too much things that somehow take away our attention to care for which made us living for the others instead. He is a great reminder of what we should be looking into. It looks like he learned from the past of what he have done and there you go, he went there as a storyteller telling us that he doesn't believe in perfection, there're always spaces for improvements.

[@mwtjuhc]

That was a very interesting masterclass/presentation. It was very inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

[@PiaoAhPiao]

Nicholas Tse is well-defined what a successful leadership is. He deserves what has now. Looking at what he has been through and comparing today's Nicholas Tse with the Nicholas Tse at 23, he has really grown a lot. Regardless his career as an artist, he is a great business man.

[@casehkust8336]

This talk was open to all university staff and students. Both undergraduate and post-graduate. The additional teaching materials we are developing (written case and a 10-15min classroom video) are for use in the undergraduate program. They, however, can also be used at the post-graduate level.

[@catherinelam]

No doubt on his acheivements in acting and singing career. Though i briefly heard of his success in post production business before, after this seminar, i highly appreciate and respect him as he is really talented in so many areas, with rational thinking, strong management skills, clear visions, die-hard passions and committments.

[@Fatlong0614]

He did make such a great speech

[@cddoudou]

He is very inspiring and talented. I am very impressed!

[@anlwong]

You are truly observant and not many can see Nic in this way without jealoucy.

[@carmenvbbb]

Honestly this is a great show for Nic. I am sorry about my English is not very gd, but I tried to listen it without any sub. Thanks for giving some case to teach us how to be successful. Actually my English made me couldn't been understood the whole show, but I thought that I got the 80 percent main point of this. It is a great training to my English listening, thanks so mach.

[@misslilyteacher]

He mentioned hockey. Proud to be Canadian, from Vancouver, too ^^

[@anlwong]

You are truely with good heart for those students and a humble attitude to people. You continuous strikes yourself to improve and excel is touching. All these certainly make us see you stand up from those so called "stars" only play around with low grade gossips, expansive clothing and plastic surgeries to survive the entaining world. We can see the public especially new generation can at least get some benefits and learning out from your extroordinary life!

[@Miffythebunny]

his english is so good and he is so handsome !!

[@jeeyongyow3306]

So wise,so young. N if Nicholas,if you ever read this, i know u first before Patrick Tse:)

[@YukeiNg]

i like that last part about his family. to positivity.

[@jessmasaharu]

The MC is Professor Karen....Excellent professor in UST!!

[@XiaoTtungL]

Yeah, that paper is really important so I'm trying my best to grab it!

[@woonjiaboi6963]

Love you so much

[@user-ht7hb3vz8d]

Nicholas Tse is my favorite star.

[@dogpro1996]

He's got a nice voice:D And sibei charming~~~

[@kinismad]

Nice!

[@fennecfox8291]

he is an amazing human being. slash AWWWWWW for that vid dedicated to his son!

[@alanbirdHQ]

on which part of the video have you seen the English subtitles? there is no built-in captions for this clip, only KZbin's machine transcribed one. > be clear in mind then criticize !!

[@user-yu8fn5ic3u]

God love Nicolas Tse love God

[@wuyanchu]

thx a lot . ^_^

[@jinnaboy]

hes definitely a role model of the post millenium hong kong entertainment industry. probably gonna be the dai goh of the hk ent industry in the next 10 years.

[@KamLC]

nick tse is a boss

[@joycehym]

I'm impressed by Nicholas. I thought he's just some playboy, but he's actually a successful businessman.

[@GoodiTwoShuz]

Nicholas is quite amazing. He understood these concepts at such a young age but I think he's not yet adept at expressing these concepts-he often repeated vague, generic ideas like hard work, persistence yet is not quite willing to share accounts of his company's ups and downs to supplement his ideas. It was a good try though!

[@brightnessQQ]

respect.

[@ruihauchen]

Good

[@yclau1613]

Nic is quite known for not very good in words by the way. Indeed I found him expressed himself better in English instead of Cantonese... He really does opened up so much more than before. Good for him. =)

[@daweiwang1880]

good man

[@KemptonLam]

Good luck with making your own CGI short film. These days affordable tools are available to help people make interesting animated short films. It helps to have a great story to tell, so I guess write a good script first.

[@uohzxela]

Well, he schooled in California during his formative years.

[@danielcwc]

Can you explain why you use simplified chinese for the title of this video? Just curious~ No offence~

[@finfinn9]

anybody noticed that 谢帅哥的头发forever油。。。。。。?

[@halojustin01234567]

his english is good! better than most of the hong kong stars!

[@alanbirdHQ]

mywhf > which is true another copy of this original video has been made by a third party with English and translated into Chinese (simplified) subtitles, however it contains many errors and incomplete transcripts!! 。。。just clarify it, no hard feeling!! ^^

[@mlsi]

i am not being nit-picky but does nic speak english with some cantonese accent? is it cantonese accent or just is that just how they speak in vancouver? i speak w/ an accent too and i'm completely fine w/ people having accent.

[@Wyzzkyd]

Capital, from his showbiz earnings. Connections, from his Dad. Not taking anything from him but he's quite lucky.

[@smartgirlkitty]

Omg he is just perfect!

[@PeonyBaby]

can anyone tell me two ideas+expressions with this video

[@yclau1613]

Maybe he is just another speaker who might be not as good as the other ones to some of the people out there. However, I used to be his fan and I was quite disappointed of what he had done in the past. In a way, I really do admire to the people of whoever they are being honest to themselves and believe in what they do.

[@shirleyluvnic3943]

Nic is just my all-time favorite (^o^)/

[@neocage1986]

should put sub title

[@petercow2000]

is this an undergrad program talk?

[@HAMHeartnMind]

Why so much criticisms about one's English? These students obviously grew up in a Chinese-speaking community, of course they will not speak English with an American or British accent, or whatever accent you prefer. Good job to that girl who is at least trying her best in utilizing her English skills.

[@dunhvone]

practice dun make perfect if you keep practicing the wrong thing

[@hihieva123]

and seriously i don't think it's too bad. Think of those members in legislative council, they have an even stronger hong kong accent. Of course, we should have a higher standard for those tertiary student, but just as ngth said, at least, she tried her best.

[@MrSingSai]

at about 1:15:05, what did the elder man say that made everyone laugh? just wondering...

[@guangyuanli3897]

He was gonna ask a question that not tied to entreprenuer, which is not required by the host student.

[@milkyumyeah]

i can't hear him..

[@yclau1613]

'I fight so you don't have to' might be in the meaning of 'I love you son' instead since Nic is quite macho when it comes to expression to a male I guess...?

[@weictory]

商业上蛮成功，其它方面待定。

[@ngth]

It is true that one of the interviewers has a heavy Hong Kong accent but she is merely a learning student. A good school gives opportunity to different students. I personally do not think someone that is not perfectly fluent or has a perfect pronunciation in English should just lock oneself in a room and stop speaking english. With an accent, it takes lot of courage to speak, especially in public. At least she tried her best. Don't despise someone that has the courage to try.

[@12s]

Does anyone know that without the GODLY hands from his father, he wouldn't have all those chances laid out in front of him? I don't hate the guy but for him to stand there to educate people about his success, I think its just another show for him to gain sympathy or more respect from the HK public, I am sure his publicist has assisted this part thereof.

[@TheBeyondguns]

the girl in black is nice

[@mchughodelia8435]

That pink shirt guy must be the annoying smarty in the class .

[@chunping5707]

cheers, xie

[@lawmauwa]

ahha the male moderator was so awkward when he was sitting under nicholas during the photoshoot at the end

[@andrewchanyushing]

did he forget to bring the gift with him when he left?

[@yusumnn2007]

我想頂包案，唯一要坐監個警察見到謝𩃀鋒又唔使坐，今日又有咁好成績有乜感想

[@thatsit07]

LOL now his Canadian Accent is back hahaha

[@sai18kit]

as a Chinese Canadian I can tell you Nic does NOT have a White accent. I don't speak like a white Canadian, but Nic's and my accent aren't as heavy as people from Asia. If you are not born in Canada you usually don't have a 100% local accent.

[@cpchan1310]

Now that is Sour grapes. Family ties will get you into the business, and maybe even to the middle. But never up to the top.

[@onearth10]

i know right, he was a celeb turned businessman...so not a REALITY for any of them ahha..... usually when ppl gets invited for these kind of talks, the individuals themselves are the educated in the academic level, not that i am belittling his qualifications but you know usually thats so...not when someone is a celeb n then talks about how he became sucessful from showbiz...

[@yusumnn2007]

無可否認謝生今日的確有成就，但當年頂包單野䱦然走甩，但佢其實未還喎

[@tedinoxford]

Why I feel that he acted like Bruce Lee haha

[@TheNoobzoid]

I went through 4 years of university and got my degree. I can tell you that "piece of paper" is useless.

[@lawmauwa]

everyone gotta use photoshop to remove him from the pic lol

[@james90423]

do you think you will get into this industry if your dad wasn't an public figure in HK? If he wasn't then I think it will be difficult for you to start from scratch just becoming a singer to an actor and most importantly find the right passion because you will never come across the problem you had during the process of making that movie you talked about. Some people fail in college and some people got their piece of paper from university but without the management of their parents it is hard

[@climbx09190]

真係有d似龍心XDDDD

[@tottiringo]

Is it just me that found theres nothing wrong with the lady's English? Her voice does sound a bit annoying tho

[@Tiffystars]

at least she's not putting on a fake american accent.
