Chun’s Interview:I think the fate will lead me to meet my other half. Out of Fahrenheit, maybe I’m the first one who’ll get married!?
(The photo shooting and interview was held at the end of July, when Chun and Ah Sa came to Japan for MATV launch party.)
Title:
Q. So we heard that something unfortunate had happened soon after your arrival.
A. You know, I was in big trouble!! (Pretending to be crying) on my way from Narita Airport to Tokyo,
I realized I lost my mobile! I think I put it in my pocket when I got on a plane, but it seems I dropped it somewhere…
Q. How many pieces of baggage did you bring for this trip?
A. This time I’ll also visit Korea, but it’s only 4 days trip, so I just brought a large suitcase. They checked its weight at the airport, and it was around 20kg.
Q. Do you do packing by yourself?
A. Yes, I’m actually the expert. My suitcase is always well-organized.
Q. You often have to stay at a hotel. What’s the first thing you do after entering a hotel room?
A. Before unpacking, I take a picture of the room for interior reference. Then I’ll connect to the internet, and put clothes in the closet. That’s it!
Q. And you do training in the room at night?
A. No way (laugh). Because I’m exhausted after working.
Q. How do you maintain good health?
A. Eating nutritious food. I’ve been busy and I can sleep for only 5 hours. Besides there’s a lot of pressure in this job. So it’s a must for me to eat.
Q. I understand it. I visited Taiwan to cover all the events you attended, and I was ready to collapse though it’s only 3 days in total.
A. Hahaha. You know what I mean!! I’m so hard worker, aren’t I? (clapping hands and laughing so hard)
Q. Let’s talk about language. How many languages do you speak?
A. English, Malay, Mandarin, Hokkien, and Cantonese.
Q. And a little bit of Japanese and Korean?
A. A little bit (with a shy smile). I bought some textbooks to learn by myself, but I don’t have time now…
However we’re the endorser of Taiwan Tourism Board, so I’ll study to understand Japanese step by step.
Q. Which language do people speak in your dream?
A. Hokkien, as I usually talk to my family in Hokkien, though lately sometimes I dream in Mandarin (laugh).
Q. Tell us about your first feature film “Butterfly Lovers”.
A. The original story was said to be a Chinese version of Romeo and Juliet. Actually we play the previous life of the characters in the original piece. The director added a taste of martial arts, so you can enjoy action scenes.
Q. Do you have a love scene with Ah Sa?
A. Yes. Actually there’s a kiss scene of me and Ah Sa, but no one told about it to her in advance. It caused her to fall over in surprise after kissing (laugh).
Q. Which actress do you want to work with the most?
A. Mm, I’ll be glad if I can work with Jennifer Aniston!
Q. Who’s your favorite Japanese actor or singer?
A. As for actor, I like Takuya Kimura. As for singer, I’m a fan of Hikaru Utada, especially her song “First Love”. When driving, I listened to it everyday while I was in Australia.
Q. Compared to other actors, I think you have more kiss scenes.
A. Maybe you’re right (laugh), especially with Ariel in Tokyo Juliet, I had lots of kiss scenes. Back then I was really nervous as it’s my first TV drama. The director supported me saying “just make up your mind and do it!”.
Q. When was your first kiss?
A. 16.
Q. Who was the girl?
A. Like me, she’s also a Chinese living in Brunei. Though we were not classmates, she’s the same age as me. You know, around that age, girls are generally talkative and lively, but she was very quiet and elegant. The character attracted me.
Q. So she’s your first crush?
A. Yes (with a shy smile).
Q. We heard you have no girlfriend now. What kind of woman do you want to be with?
A. Someone whom I can share everything with, because understanding each other is the most important thing, isn’t it? That’s why I’ll tell her everything, and I want her to do the same. I don’t like someone who is selfish, or tries to play a little game in the relationship. Someone whom I don’t have to pretend and can always show my everything would be ideal.
Q. She should be from Brunei?
A. It doesn’t matter, as I think fate will lead me to meet the other half, and it’s nothing to do with nationality or age. The important thing is how we think about each other.
Q. Imagine and tell us about a decade from now.
A. Maybe I live a happy life with my wife and children (laugh).
Q. How many children do you want?
A. 3 at least. 5 if possible.
Q. When do you want to get married?
A. Ideally 35. But if I get married at age 35, I’ll be quite old when the fifth child is born (laugh).
Q. How about your gym?
A. Now I run 2 gyms in Brunei. It’d be great if I can expand like 4 or 5 in Brunei and a few more in foreign countries. It’ll give me more opportunities to meet fans directly and it must be fan, right? 10 years later, I think it’s highly likely that I’ll still work as an actor in this industry. However, even if I leave the industry, I would like to value the relationship between me and fans.
Q. 10 years later, what do you think the other members of Fahrenheit become?
A. I don’t know whether we’ll still work as Fahrenheit or not, but whatever happens, I’m sure we’ll keep get in touch with each other!
Q. So who’ll be the first one to get married?
A. Probably me. And I’m the oldest (laugh).
Aaron’s Interview:
Q. If you have a daughter in the future, who do you want her to choose as a husband?
A. Wu Chun! He runs a gym, so if my daughter gets married with him, I can go and do training whenever I want.
Also he’s good at business, so maybe we can develop some joint business. It seems we have advantages (laugh).
Calvin’s Interview:
Q. In the drama “Romantic Princess”, your role Cai tried to get Xiao Mai and Jin together like Cupid. If you play Cupid for Fahrenheit boys, what kind of girl do you find for them?
A. For Wu Chun, I’ll find someone who’s natural and lively. He is shy of strangers at first, but actually he likes to talk. So someone who can be his company would be good. For Jiro, someone who’s mature and likes music would be nice. For Arron, she must be pretty and cute, ’cause that’s his type.
Q. How was the shooting with Wu Chun?
A. It was fun. I doodled on his script (laugh).
Q. Tell us more.
A. Well, for example in a scene Jin had to say “Cai, why do you do this to me?”. Instead I wrote on his script “Cai, why are you so gorgeous and cool?” (laugh), though soon he figured out who did it.
Q. When we hold a fan meeting, we asked Arron “Out of Fahrenheit boys, who do you choose as a boyfriend / best friend / older brother?”. And his answer was “I’ll pick up Chun as my boyfriend, Jiro as my best friend, and Calvin as my older brother”. So how about you?
A. I thought Arron would pick up Jiro as a boyfriend, but he chose Chun (seems quite surprised)! And he picked up me as an older brother. Mm, maybe because I’ve helped his study before (laugh). Okay, my turn. I’ll choose Jiro as my boyfriend, Chun as my best friend, and Arron as my younger brother. Jiro is a lively guy, so it’ll be fun to spend the time with. Chun and I has studied abroad before, so we agree with each other. Arron will be, not to mention, a cute brother. After all he’s the youngest among the Fahrenheit family.
Q. Is it true that Chun couldn’t send his laptop for repair because your strip movie was in the HD?
A. False (laugh). That’s his fault. The truth is, Chun and I have stayed in the same hotel room during our job in China. One night I got bored and started imitating this sexy dance (Calvin jokingly tries to put off his shirt humming). Then Chun thought it’s quite funny and shot a movie, but don’t worry, I wasn’t naked (laugh).
Q. But the Taiwanese media caught the story (laugh).
A. Yeah (sighing). Because Chun told reporters that he had my strip movie in the laptop, the news spread out. After that, one of the fans yelled out at me like “Put off your clothes, Calvin!”. I was really surprised about it.
Q. Please tell us the secrets of other members which we don’t know.
A. Well, I’ll talk about a hotel. Every time we stay in the twin room, I pair with Chun, and Jiro with Arron. You know, Chun looks like very manly, macho man. However, he has this different side like a woman; he’s always in the bath a long time and takes time for skin care. It prevents me from using a toilet. Poor me, isn’t it (laugh)? While Jiro and Arron don’t bother to clean, and their room is always messy compared with ours. We’re really opposite.
From an interviewer
(about Chun)
Before the magazine shooting, he was on the stage for MATV launch party. After “Cheers!” with other guests, he’s the only one who drank champagne at a stretch. We were a bit worried and wondered if he got drunk, but he remained like a cold sober and soon joined our shooting. He’s a strong drinker maybe?
End.
