S.H.E: We Are Valuing Our Time Together
Around 2005 you had ever gone to Bali for pictorial book, this time you were coming to Jakarta for concert. Both of them for working, do you have a different feeling about that? E: That’s right. This time our feelings definitely different because we had never been here, in Jakarta, before. Actually we have a will to come for holiday but we don’t have enough time for that. So what we will do next is just staying in the hotel, that also needs to find a spare time first. Today we had just arrived here so we spent most of the time in our room, so our feeling to Jakarta actually still pretty strange. H: That’s right. So perhaps tomorrow we will depend on audience’s reaction for leaving deep impression for us. E: Yup. right. H: Because we don’t even have little time to walk around Jakarta. Tomorrow we have to do the rehearsal, after concert the next morning we have to fly back to Taiwan. We still need to prepare our new album so we need to hurry back to Taipei so we can finish it.
Talking about your new album, your new album in September will be launching. In August and September, Jay Chou and Lee Hom also want to launch their album. How do you girls actually preparing for this competition? E: Actually we often meet this kind of situation H: We have been in this industry for a long time, so we often meet this kind of situation, so actually it is not a big problem for us. Besides, our genre of music is kinda different. E: With these , also have a positive thing. Fans will have many choices.
Based on the Taiwan industrial music nowadays. an album that sold more than 100 thousands is including in a good achievement. For your new album, do you have a certain target for its selling? E: (thinking) We are just… I think now it’s so difficult to measure the target for selling. S: The economic condition is not really good. Breaking 50 thousands is something that we can celebrate already. E: Right, if we can sell more than 20 thousands is already considered as a great selling because of the terrible economic condition. S: The economic condition made everything worse. E: We had ever heard from our boss, in the past time 400 million but now can’t reach 40 million [I don’t know what Ella was talking about here =p], the comparison that so far, so we couldn’t think about the selling result. For us, we can try to do our best for this album, if everyone accept our music, that’s already considered as happiness result for us. We don’t care how many albums will be sold, the most important think is whether the music has a significant step or not. What we mean here, if today we release this song and there is a fan that can sing that song even perhaps she couldn’t buy the album, but she still can sing that song, that means that song is already a success. So what we want to do is for to leave deep impression on fans and our song is memorable forever.
After a new album, do you have any plan to take a role in idol drama? E: It should be no (answering quickly)
How about Selina? Because Ella had Hanazakarino Kimitachihe and Hebe had Bull Fighting, when would be time for you to have your own series? S: That’s true, I’m still waiting for the right script for me, because I think shooting for a series is so exhausting. Before that, we also ever did series together [Reaching for The Stars]. For me, the process in filming this series was so exhausting. So, I’m waiting a script that I like or a great character for playing. If I have time, perhaps I will try it.
What kind of script that you probably like? S: Myself also don’t know.. hehehehe H: If she knew, perhaps she would write the script by herself. E: That’s why she is still waiting and waiting.
If I’m not mistaken, this year is S.H.E’s seventh year in the music industry E: True. This year is our seventh year.
Your position as female music group still irreplaceable (the question was not finished yet, but Ella already answered it) E: Thank you… Thank you, duuh.. I felt so shy.
Your position also still number one E: Aaah… it is not actually (with a funny mimic, and pretending to be shy)
What do you think about this? E: Our opinion, ya…. Perhaps it is the result for our struggle in these 7 years.
A group passed more than five years is not easy eh…. E: That’s true and its not just because of the hard work from the three of us but also from all people in our company. This is also the result from the developing that our company had done to us. The most important thing is we want to say thank you for continuous supports from our fans in these 7 years. Perhaps some of our fans have already had their own family and kids, perhaps also the one who from elementary school and now in junior high school, the one who was in senior high school now are in college and already married. Actually we are growing up together with our fans and so do the opposite. So today we can be like this, we are really grateful for that (saying that in sincere way)
Do you have any mental preparation, just if in 10 years later from now S.H.E no longer popular like now? What do you thin you will do at that time? E: Actually all this long we always prepare our mental. Since our second album, we were preparing already, what if after second album no one will buy our album? Actually every step that we had done, we passed it carefully. Honestly, if 10 years later we will not have any market again, we will do our own life. Married and give a birth for kid… hehehehe, actually that kind of life that I really want. H: Because this entertainment world perhaps not the entire part of life itself. E: True, not for the entire of our life time. H: But now because of our fate still in lucky way, we will use this opportunity well. Doing many things that we want to do, singing a lot of good songs, but if era not let us to stay here, we would not force it. Living a life with loving husband and child also good. E: I want to build a home in Ming Su, so probably I will live there. S: I think the same thing like them, but actually we have been prepared for our future. Like me, I interest with presenter world. Perhaps someday if I was not a singer anymore, I will be a presenter.
Perhaps considering as an artist manager? (Selina and Ella pointed to Hebe) S: If become artist manager, she can (while pointing at Hebe), she ever thought as manager, but that’s just a thought. E: You become my manager…. ha ha ha ha (while teasing Hebe)
As your age growing up, will you stay on this kind of music and image like now? S: Actually since the last album, we had a lot of changes. E: But, in our last album [Play], there are many things to be played. Even we are getting older but that’s not mean we have to sing more mature song. S: S.H.E doesn’t have the steady genre of music. H: Our genre is easy listening songs….hahahaha E: Ei.. That’s right lah…
Beginning from the competition “Universal Potential Beauty Contest 2000”, finally S.H.E exist. First, you compete to each other and then become best friends. How do you value this friendship? E: Since the beginning, we are placed as one group. We left our home and stayed together in a dormitory. Since that time we build our relationship and more relaxing feeling to be together. Because everytime we are really together, not only at work but also in the outside, so that’s how our friendship started. We are really valuing our time together. We have been through thick and thin together. S: I think we can be one group is really fated. So we are valuing this friendship. H: For me, both of them are people that important in my life. They are so worth for me. Even if I am not in this world already, forever we would still be best friends. Really, fate like this is difficult to get. S&E: True (together answering it)
If in the next life, you have an option to choose. Do you like still like this as friends or want to be sisters? S: Wah.. we had never thought of that before. E: Let me be your mother… hahahaha S: I think if in this life we are fated to be together, in the past time and in the future, we would never get away from this fate. Later must be people that close again.
Who knows perhaps you like to be sisters: SHE: It can be. S: Sisters, boyfriend or perhaps she could be our husband (pointed at Ella). I become the old wife and she [Hebe] becomes the young wife…hehehehehe E: I think, don’t care what would happen in our next life, we should be together again. Let the God manage that for us.
Being best friends since a long time, is that any bad habit from S.H.E personnel that you want to change? E: If there is a bad habit, I think I can accept it. Because we are together since a long time and I don’t think I can change it.
Perhaps, Hebe had a habit, love to rub her nose before?: E: Until now, she still have it, as long as she feels her nose comfort, then let it be. S: I think that’s not a bad habit. Just don’t do it in front of a person, that’s all. H: Actually, that’s the bad habit…. E: I think that’s not. I think… for her… I hope (silent for a moment) she can be better for herself.
That means? E: Because she thinks about other people and often choose to let people win over her. Perhaps, she will use other way to calm down her emotion but all of things that she had done , she did them just for other people. That’s what makes me love her so much ,it feels very touching. Sometimes I pity her and she looks like in troubles, so I hope she can think about herself more. Don’t think too much. For her (Selina), she doesn’t think about anything….hehehehe. So nothing to be worried about her. S: I just think about what I buy and eat….hehehehe E: Yup, she is just thinking about those…. hahahaha S: No no… I’m just kidding….hahahaha E: She is a girl that won't make us worried. A nice girl. I hope she can get a nice partner.
Everyone knows, your typical guy is different, but you are just human, who knows someday you fall in love with the same guy. Nah, what will you do then? SHE: We will not fall in love on same guy (how do you know for sure?) E: I think that’s impossible. H: Yup, I think that’s impossible. S: I feel gross if we fall in love for a same guy….. hahahaha E: I think it would be difficult to fall in love for a same guy, please don’t let it happen.
I just say “what if…” hehehehe S: Just adoring perhaps yes, for example, this guy is handsome or so great, but to fall in love it would be difficult. We are like sisters, if sisters fall in love for the same guy… I think that’s forbidden. E: That just happened in movie, but if that really happens, we have to see the one that the guy likes. He has to choose one. If he chooses you (pointed at Selina), I will step back.
Time already at 20.45, the interview for 10 minutes finally over. Because of the limitation of time, interview at that night (31/7) should be over. After interview, S.H.E still need to dinner and doing rehearsal, so the concert will going to be perfect and left the deep impress.
[Caption] Selina: My ideal guy must have height 185 cm and like hero that can protect me. I’m a weak person.
[Caption] Hebe: For me, as long as he is easy to talk to, good looking, understanding, and if can… handsome.
[Caption] Ella: My ideal guy is the one who is good looking and I enjoy talking to him. My target of marriage is when I’m 28, which means next year. But if next year, I still don't have any candidate,then at least before 35 will do.

Fated to Love You in Hong Kong; Shocked by enthusiastic fans and media
Taiwan idol drama "Fated to Love You" is going to start airing on the cable drama channel in Hong Kong today. The three leads in the drama, Chen Qiao En, Ethan Ruan and Baron Chen came together to Hong Kong for promotions. Once the three arrived at the airport, a large group of fanatic fans rushed up to them and the scene became very chaotic. There were even reporters that had conflicts with the security guards, scaring the female lead Qiao En. At the welcoming ceremony, Qiao En received flowers from TVBubbly and the three got the limited edition of TVBubby too. After that, together with the Events Manager Li Qi Ying of the television station and SETTV's vic-manager Chen Si Wei, they started a round of toasting.
When asked about the most unforgettable event during the whole filming process, the three unanimously declared it's those falling into the water scenes. Ethan had to film a falling into the sea scene at 5 degree celcious temperature and only he himself knows what's hot and cold. Qiao En was happily taking photos from the sideline when he was filming this scene. Baron had a scene of jumping into the water to heroically sae Bianca Bai and he said that after that scene, they returned to the hotel to bath, "But we showered separately!" Baron also mentioned that he gave his first on-screen kiss to Qiao En. It was put as a hot kiss in the script but got changed to just a touch and go kiss.
Coming to Hong Kong, Qiao En obviously hopes that the drama ratings will be as good as in Taiwan, when asked whether a sequel will be filmed, she declared probably not. She hopes instead to film movies. She especially want to work with director Oxide Pang Chun in ghost movies and she really admire Fruit Chan and Johnny To. As for the actors, she hopes to collaborate with Eason Chan and Maggie Cheung one day. Rarely coming to Hong Kong, Qiao En really wanted to see Hong Kong's night scenes and although she was in Hong Kong once for filming, she had no time to enjoy the scenery.
Due to "Prince turned to Frog" Qiao En is already loved by the Hong Kong people and this time, her Sticky Note Girl role in "Fated" even won the highest idol drama rating record. However, Qiao En expressed that this is her first time coming to Hong Kong for promotion and regarding the fans and media overcrowding the airport, Qiao En was really shocked. "The whole place was a bit out of control. There were even reporters that were pushing the security guards. The security guard was really scary. Taiwan seldom has such situations."
When asked whether she had sparks with Ethan when filming, Qiao En expressed that the both of them are good friends. Male artistes who worked with Qiao En mostly all rose to great popularity and does she feel that she "bring luck to male partners"? "Actually, it's good to bring luck to male partners. But I think I'm doing quite well too. My advertisements don't lose out to them. (Qn: How's your real life relationship?) I put my career first and relationship isn't as important. But I hope to marry before 35. (Qn: Will you have un-wed pregnancy like in the drama?) Currently no. But I can accept it. My current boyfriend is an ideal partner." Qiao En also mentioned that the "bring luck to male partners" is just a topic for discussion but if they really can become popular, than it's a good thing for both sides. Ethan's not scared of being affected by rumors
Ethan has been in Hong Kong thrice and this is the first time it's for work. "Seeing so many fans in the airport, I'm really happy. There's probably many people in Hong Kong that have viewed this drama already. Hong Kong fans are more enthusiastic than the Taiwan fans. (Qn: Will you have nude swim in Hong Kong like you did in Taiwan?) No, I don't have the habit of swimming nude. (Baron added that he didn't get to see what he wanted to see) I never said that I was very "amazing"!"
Caught earlier by the Taiwan media in Kenting surfing with rumored girlfriend Tiffany Hsu, and Tiffany was even wearing birth control pad, Ethan immediately started clarifying for his good friend and said that it was only a sticker for removing scars. "It's really not good for a good girl to be reported that way. ** (Qn: Will you have further developments with her?) It's hard to say much about the future. Currently, work takes priority." Ethan earlier had some sex related news revealed by his ex-girlfriend and did that affect him? "It did affect me but not because I'm afraid of my image being affected. I felt that I didn't do anything wrong." In the industry for 6 years and finally rising to fame, Ethan happily used one word "Fantastic" to describe. "'Fated' is really very good. It's great that I could take part in this." ** Tiffany has already explained several days ago that it was not a birth control pad.
Baron denied having a relationship with Ella
Baron, first time filming an idol drama, was asked about giving clothes to express love to S.H.E's Ella and he answered that Ella did give him some clothes. (Qn: Will there be developments?) "Ella's really great, clever and attractive." He also expressed that the two are just good friends. Earlier, he was also caught by the Taiwan media for getting together with his ex-girlfriend and he said that she's just a friend too. Ethan's nude swim incident was actually suggested by Baron. He felt that Ethan has a better figure and it's good to have him represent. He will consider doing a nude swim if he's next drama can break 15. But not open to the public. As for loving Qiao En but giving her to Ethan, in reality, Baron will definitely fight till the end.
For this short 3 days Hong Kong promotion, the three of them have 2 press conference cum autograph session and 16 scheduled work events which shocked the three of them. Qiao En said that "The schedule is very packed. I wanted to go to the Wong Tai Sin Temple but looks like there won't be time." When asked if she's going to pray about her love life, she said "Of course it's about career. My love life is good enough."
Nicholas Teo, Amber Kuo collaborated together on the idol drama "Invincible Shan Bao Mei", their relationship is caught up in all sorts of flavor, in the drama their characters are "Head to head enemies", yesterday the two fed each other "Shan Bao Rice", at the sing and sign function was a "Big Reconciliation"!
Nicholas and Amber held the "Invincible Shan Bao Mei" TV OST singing siging function, the two wore the drama costumes Kuso style in attendance, Nicholas riding a class old style 3 wheel bike, not only carrying Amber, on the bike was also 3 treasures [chicken, duck, goose], funny and interesting.
Earlier snapped by paparazzi of them going to a book store, were promoting gossips for the drama, Nicholas says, their interactions now have become a target, now once the two appear other than filming set, there'll be attraction of other eyesights, causing awkardness and not at ease.
In drama "Invincible", Amber and Nicholas are "enemies", not liking each other yet, the music company has decided to have them "reconciliate", prepared at the sing sign function, "sorrow at parting Shan Bao Rice", making the two sweetly eat one bowl, you a mouthful me a mouthful, to increase the relationship.
Amber laughed saying: "Our relationship is already well, filmed good while filming together, now we're also in the same record company, Nicholas is also my "younger brother", this is really funny, causing everyone to laugh at the scene!"
Sunye of Wonder Girls and Jo Kwon of 2am have been BFF’s ever since they met at the JYP training center 8 years ago. Jo Kwon, in his interview right after 2am’s debut performance, did not forget to mention Sunye when the reporter asked him who he was thinking about at the moment while he was turning on the waterworks.
These two singers are the same age but apparently Sunye is the “noona” of the relationship. Jo Kwon even jokes around that when they were younger he got “beat up” quite frequently by Sunye, who always kept him in line.
There is a group of netizens who are hoping that this relationship blossoms into something more.

Da S loves being independent
A household is a fundamental unit in society, but today, people love the different aspects and colors of life. Having fun with friends outside rather than eating a meal at home. However, recently, Barbie Xu (Da S) and Louis Koo met through filming a movie. Personally, they both love the simple life. Both would spend all their non-working moments with their families.
Living in today’s society, everyone wants to live a colorful, exciting life, partying every night and rarely eating dinner at home, and being in the entertainment industry is even better. However, Da S is a part of the group that likes to stick to their families. She spends all of her non-working times at home. She even asks her mother to take care of all her money. Without financial stress in her mind, she explains: “I like buying things, especially shoes, I have hundreds of pairs of shoes at home! I would spend all my money on shopping, so I have to give all my money to my mother to handle, I won’t ask any questions.” Don’t think that she likes shopping because she has money. It actually originated from her sense of responsibility: “To be an actor in the public eye, you can’t really dress the same way every time we meet the public! So buying clothes and shoes is not a waste, it is my responsibility to the audience.”
When she first entered the industry, she was always with her younger sister, Xiao S, singing and hosting together. The two of them were inseparable (孖公仔), Da S even accompanied her sister into the delivery room and constantly babysits her niece. “I am always playing with Xiao S’s older daughter that when she was a toddler, she thought I was her mother, which made Xiao S really mad!” Da S really treasures family life that although her sisters have created their own family, they would always come together. “We eat dinner at home with mom every night! My whole family loves beauty, so there was a period of time when we would go to the market and buy fruit to make fruit juice every day. And the ingredients each day would be different and sometimes the taste would be a little weird.”
Love: Marriage is Only Adding Another Family Member Da S has been openly dating Vic Zhou for 4 years. Unfortunately, they broke up early this year. She disclosed that their feelings towards each other were already becoming bland. We still support each other as friends. Today, Da S spoke about that love story, and feels that her decision is correct. “We broke up during our happiest time. At the time, we both felt that it was time for us to stop our relationship, we didn’t want to break up when it would be unbearable for the both of us.” It was rumored that the breakup was due to Da S wanting to get married, but she reveals that she doesn’t have a marriage plan yet. “There was a time in the past when I thought of getting married, but when I saw my sisters’ lives were very calm and steady after getting married, I felt that what I want is different, I love being independent and free!”
Although her love life is still uncertain, Da S is still satisfied because she still has a beautiful family life and can still live freely. And she can focus all her attention on working, not having to keep in mind others’ feelings. When will she start her own family? Da S doesn’t want to give herself a time limit. She is satisfied with what she has: “Marry or not, it is just adding one more person into the family!” Work: So nervous that she can’t eat Recently, Da S and Louis Koo were filming an EEG movie, 《保持通話》. They only filmed one face-to-face scene; the other scenes were filmed through the phone. Da S still felt it was a great challenge: “Because they film my scenes before filming Louis’s, so I have been depending on my imagination to act. The director would occasionally help make changes. For some scenes, there were several versions. The worst is filming a crying scene because each time, the director would want a major cry, a medium cry, and a small cry version.” She really gets into the scenes so the scenes were easily filmed. Because they were filmed close to the time she broke up with Vic, it made her so nervous that she couldn’t eat. Fortunately, she was able to step away from the character after the filming ended and returned to Taiwan and was able to smile for her hosting work.
On the Love Road Da S has had three handsome boyfriends, is it possible that she only loves the handsome ones? She says, “I look at the inside, the attractiveness is a bonus! I went out with someone with an unattractive appearance before, he was my first boyfriend.”
Blue Lan (藍正龍) Idol drama “Meteor Garden” was a great success, and it was where Blue Lan and Barbie fell in love at first sight. Unfortunately, they broke up in 2005.
Vic Zhou (周渝民) Da S and Vic started when they filmed “Mars” together. This younger brother-older sister love became the most perfect story. Unfortunately, the two announced their peaceful breakup in January of this year. Charles Chen (陳建州) Da S and Charles Chen (Blackie) had already known each other for a long time. Earlier, in a show, it was said the two were high school sweethearts, and afterwards, they were still friends.
Tattoo tames the inner beast Da S is the master of cosmetics, she takes great interest in her appearance. In her earlier years, she even got a few tattoos. With her interest in aliens, she even got an alien-related tattoo. Da S says that tattoo reflects the inner wild feelings. She even uses the analogy of "There's an inner wild beast" to describe her love for independence. However, the tattoos have also brought many problems: "I have to put talcum powder on the tattoos everyday in case they lighten."
