Charlene takes off her clothes for "Butterfly Lovers", Chun speechless:)
source: UDN
translated by: x-WISHFULthinking@asianfanatics.net
In the upcoming movie “Butterfly Lovers”, Wu Zun had to help Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) do a medical examination to identify whether she is male or female. When Charlene took off her clothes, Chun was quite speechless. When the director yelled ‘Cut!’ Charlene got very nervous and asked Chun, ,“What did you see?”
The very handsome and hot body Chun, for his first movie “Butterfly Lovers” he broke 3 “first times”. It was the first time he filmed a movie, it was his first time wearing traditional outfit and it was his first time filming a martial arts theme. Chun said, “This year, 2 months before the movie started filming, martial arts guide Chen Xiao Dong was busy with the opening ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympics, and at the same time had to take some time out to teach me martial arts.” When Chun was 18 years old, he had already practiced 3 months of martial arts with some monks, hence his basic skills was not bad. Chen Xiao Dong wanted Chun to specialize in fencing skills and he said that, “To have the sword come out sharply, the focus should be steady and your eyes must be on the target.” Chen Xiao Dong designed 4 major fighting scenes for Chun in the movie. One of them was he had to fight 50/60 people by himself and he says that Chun can match with Keanu Reeves from “The Matrix”.
Action scenes depend on skill, and love scenes depend on feelings. Chun who plays Romeo and Charlene who plays Juliet, from “male, male love” to “male, female love” meet many obstacles on the way. When asked how Chun finds out that Charlene is a girl, he begins to laugh non-stop. When he finally controls himself, he says, “There was one scene when I accidentally saw her take off her clothes. At the time, all the staff and workers were instructed to ‘Turn around’ and it was only the director, film guy and me who was allowed to look while she took off her clothes. After filming that scene, Charlene kept asking me ‘You were looking so closely, what did you see?’ and I said ‘I didn’t see anything!” Chun’s assistant immediately came to his assistance and said, “Charlene was wearing ‘Little Cuties’ , Chun really did not see anything la.”
(*translator’s note: ‘Little Cuties’ = small singlet)
However, after finishing filming “Butterfly Lovers”, Chun and Charlene have become good friends. Last week Charlene came to Taipei to film a MV, and Chun was happy to do some accompanying. Charlene originally wanted to eat Mala pot at the night markets, but Chun recommended not to, and it was then when they all went to eat at Harlem’s Taiwanese cuisine restaurant instead. Chun, who loves food, ordered a lot of food and was very content afterwards. On the subject of food, Chun said, “When my mother was alive, the thing she worried most about was that I would work too hard and not have time to eat. Now I work hard but I never forget to eat, I do take good care of myself so I want my mother in the heavens, not to worry about me.”

wu chun loves fillial woman :]
Wu Chun, who although had only been in the business for three years but was already popular in both singing and acting, recently also entered the world of movies. His collaboration with Ah Sa Charlene Choi in the Jingle Ma directed movie [Butterfly Lovers] was in keeping with his future plans of developing his career in the three realms of singing, movie and television. It was small wonder that the rumor of Wu Chun being the most popular and most money-making member of Fahrenheit persisted. However Wu Chun worried that the rumors would affect the brother-like relationship for the foursome because previously it had been often rumored that there were conflicts among them. He denied modestly: [We all have similar workloads. We all have acting roles and are busy in our own ways. We got along very well and there is no jealousy. Whenever we get together, we always discuss about the work of each other.] He also denied that Fahrenheit would disband. As for love relationships, Wu Chun admitted frankly that currently, he was not involved in any relationships but if he was to choose a girlfriend, he had some strict conditions. Other than being unpretentious, the most important thing she must possess was a filial heart.
Each time Wu Chun collaborated with an actress would result in romantic rumors, including Ariel Lin in [Tokyo Juliet], Angela Zhang in [Romantic Princess] and Ella from S.H.E in [Hana-Kimi]. There was no exception this time with the movie [Butterfly Lovers]. Although Ah Sa was already attached and her relationship with Ronald Cheng was an open secret, but the romantic rumors still continued. This was certainly evidence of Wu Chun’s irresistible appeal.

Before making a debut, he manages a fitness centre, and spent about 20 hours a day in it, hence he have no time for relationships, after becoming a celebrity, the management company did not object to him dating, Wu Zun said, "It will still have to depend if I have anyone in mind, still not sure!"

handsome chun was so unlucky
Looking at that practically flawless face of Wu Chun, terms that most people used in books to describe looks that were beautiful but soulless, such as “ruby-red lips, bright dark eyes and jade-like face” automatically came to mind. When seeing him for the first time, he looked like a typical new matinee idol. Slowly, his family background came to light. There were more opportunities for him to appear in front of the audience. Is this “beauty” truly “all looks but no inner substance”? From being cheated by friends in business to running two large fitness centers all by himself, despite coming from a rich family background and yet preferred to leave that all behind to be an actor and suffer endless rebukes from directors, how to break through the language barrier and from an idol lead man evolved into a martial actor…This person who was crowned by his fans as the Prince Charming of their dreams, his personal life was not perfect like a fairy tale. Through understanding his real life, perhaps we can tell whether the tranquility and subtlety he demonstrated was natural or intentionally suppressed.
Wu Chun came from an extremely rich family in Brunei. His father is the local land baron and his older uncle is one of the ten richest men in Brunei. Wu Chun went overseas for his formal education at 16 and at 24, became the owner of a large scale fitness center. At the same time, he was also a player for the Brunei national basketball team. He was, in a literal sense, a prince who lived in a castle. This type of lifestyle seemed to be without any worries or obstacles. He also admitted that during childhood, many things in his life was smooth sailing, even in taking exams, he had never failed. “When growing up, I had pretty good grades. When I was in my early teens, I started to like sports and dropped out of the top 3 spots in my class but my grades were still Ok up to university. I had never failed. As soon as you work hard, you will pass…oh but that does not mean with high marks.” This flower-like man that everything seemed to go smoothly his way was truly still at the growing-up stage of “Being young and not acquainted with worries”. He still was like a “well-behaved cub”. He added: “But in Brunei, there really was not much for entertainment. That’s probably why students are more focused on schoolwork. Normally I also love to play but I would insist on finishing my homework before going out. When attending university in Australia, I would often stay in the school by myself. I did not go to pub for drinks or anything like that. I don’t really like that kind place. Probably it is because my attitude is not that open.”
Unlucky Event #1
Cheated by Friend in Business Venture
Between the time of being an excellent student and basking in the glory after becoming famous, Wu Chun actually experienced several obstacles and blows. Speaking of the first labor pain in his life, it would be his first experience with going into business after his return to Brunei: “Before I opened the fitness center, I had opened an auto body shop with a very good friend. Because at that time, I was also working as a model, I was not involved in the shop. My friend had the full running of it. Through it all, I trusted him very much and so never asked him how many money was made. I felt embarrassed to ask and I was also afraid that he would thought I don’t trust him. One day, I did ask and only then I realized he had not been honest and had squandered all the money had the business had made. He said he would return the money to me at a later date. I was very angry, utterly disappointed in him. I withdrew all my investment, reclaimed everything that belonged to me and decided to go our separate ways. It is later that I decided to open a business on my own.” Pausing for a moment, Wu Chun said meaningfully: “So I tell you, if you go into a business with someone, don’t trust them too much. In a business, there are lots of questions that everyone must be cleared on. It is not to say that you should not trust your friends, it is just a better way of running a business together. This is one point that I only realized later.”
Unlucky Event #2
Mother Passing Away Too Soon
If betrayed by a friend was only the first obstacle in Wu Chun’s career, the passing of his mother from illness when he was in school was a much bigger blow. “Since the start, there were even more times when I was away from home. I did not have to time to be with my mother when I was in school. By the time I wanted to be with her, it was too late. This type of regret is not something money or anything else can buy back. It was smooth sailing for many little things but it is things that I placed the most importance on, the biggest things that have not been smooth.” The regret of “the child wanting to care but the parent is no longer around” led to Wu Chun spending more time with his family whenever he can. However faced with the opportunity of entering the business and becoming an artist, Wu Chun had struggled in his heart: “No matter how others discuss my family background, I know that I gave up and sacrificed a lot to enter into the business. Actually even now, I still have inner struggles. Is that worth it for me to leave home, enter the business and sacrifice the time that I can spend with my father? But it is also because the passing of my mother that made me wanting to challenge myself. I had always been afraid of performing. When I was young, going on stage to accept a trophy for winning basketball games, I was afraid. The more I was like that, the more I wanted to challenge the feeling of fear. It is this type of thinking that upheld my decision to enter the business and become an artist.”
Unlucky Event #3
Encountering Language Barrier
When first arrived in Taipei, Wu Chun who was not very familiar with the language must face yet another difficult barrier in his career. Although he was fluent in Malay and English but when it came to Minan and Mandarin, he must start afresh. “Before coming to Taiwan, I already have not spoken Chinese in 15 years. I also cannot understand when someone speaks too fast. I only know simple phrases like eating or drinking. In my first drama [Tokyo Juliet], I am already playing the male lead. There was great pressure. You know, there is a big difference between the leading role and a supporting role. In a supporter role, once you finish uttering your own lines, you are done. As the male lead, you are in almost every scene. There were many lines of dialogue. It was very difficult to act. At that time, I would even cry in secret. The first year was so tough that I did not want continue.” Because of the cultural and language differences, Wu Chun must work several times harder than others in acting performances.
Earlier when he was filming [Hana-Kimi], he saw Ella bind the loose pages of the script together into one book and he copied her method. To make reading it easier, he even printed out a script outline in English using his computer and taped it on the cover of the script. Everyone teased him about the thick book, saying that it looked more like a textbook than a drama script. When filming [Tokyo Juliet], in addition to attending pronunciation class, he even went into the office to practice reading newspaper and scripts aloud. All these efforts paid off as his Chinese, both spoken and reading, had improve tremendously.
Unlucky Event #4
Gruelling Training in Martial Arts Movie
After appearing in three dramas, [Toyko Juliet], [Hana-Kimi] and [Romantic Princess], Wu Chun invaded the big silver screen and gave his first Martial Arts performance in [Butterfly Lovers]. This is very different from idol drama which consisted of going to the beach to shoot the breeze and engage in love talks. For this movie, Wu Chun underwent intense training two months before the movie start shooting. Everyday, from basic stretching, boxing, swordplay to holding a stance, Wu Chun practiced non-stop and would cause Wu Chun to scream in pain and start tearing up. He also needed to practice the motion of swinging the sword 100 times daily, to the point that his hands would shake holding chopsticks at mealtimes. “This is my first Martial Arts movie and I really care about my performance in it. Each day I had to practice swordplay and martial moves. Each fighting scene took a week to film. It was me against a lot of people so I had to keep up my condition and also had to remember moves. It was very difficult. But the hardest thing was that this movie is a tragedy. Filming like this on a daily basis really affects the mood. In Shanghai, it was very hot in the daytime and very cold at night. That also made it difficult to adjust.
As filming officially started, he insisted against using a stunt double. The experience of one scene in which he was to jumped down from a three storey height still gave him the shivers in recollection. “Originally the director arranged a stunt double for me but I did not want that. So I asked the stuntman to demonstrate it once. Later when I climbed up and got into position, I then realized that it really was very high. I had never been afraid of games such as bugee jumping or roller coaster riding. In Las Vegas, there was a ride in which one spins around at the height of 70 storey and that did not scare me. But the feeling of falling face down during a fight scene was very different. You don’t know what would happen when you jump. I was a little scared at the time. In the end, I forced myself to jump.” Although doing a martial arts movie made Wu Chun exclaimed “I don’t want to do a costumed Martial Arts movie next time”, but “upon seeing the result after editing, it felt pretty awesome. Maybe I should make an attempt towards this direction.”
So Many Unlucky Events
Regarding Going Sole and Relying Only on Looks
Within FRH, the track record of Wu Chun is obviously not on the same level as the other three members. The rumor of “going solo” had never stopped. Wu Chun no longer insisted on “will not go solo”, instead he left a lot of leeway: “Actually right from the beginning, we all do acting job individually and come together to release albums. So there is never any talk of going solo. Each person has his own opportunities and direction focus.” Wu Chun had confirmed that he will not be doing any dramas this year in order to concentrate on preparing for concerts and doing movies. He denied that he will not be doing dramas because his asking price had increased dramatically. His words did not hide his plan of putting the focus of his work on making movies. “It really is because there is no time available in the second part of the year that I won’t be doing any dramas although I am very interested in doing action martial arts movies. As for TV dramas, if there is a good script, I still would do it.” When he first started, some audience described Wu Chun as “relying only on looks” because of his immature acting skills and overly handsome looks, how does he view himself today? Wu Chun went silent for a moment and then said: “Actually all along, I feel that I am not as what others think. I worked very hard to improve, to upgrade my acting skills, I have tried my best.”
Unlucky Event Turned Into A Good Thing
Described by Ah Sa as Having the Appetite of An Ox
In [Butterfly Lovers], Wu Chun collaborated with Ah Sa. The mandarin speaking ability of both of them is only so-so. This time, there is even classical Chinese and idioms. Wu Chun described that the most often used terms nowadays is “It is nothing” and “Well met, well met”. Wu Chun’s ferocious appetite is well known. Even Ah Sa, this female connoisseur of food, said that he has four stomachs like an ox. As soon as he stepped into a restaurant, his usual elegant manner disappeared. He would jumped up and chased after the waiters asking “where is the food, where is the food”. When the food arrived, he would then rush and make the waiter to bring rice, sometimes even went as far as going into the kitchen to help bring out the food. About this, Wu Chun said a bit shyly: “Actually it is not as exaggerated as that. I don’t have a big appetite but I can eat continuously. It is a hardship to go to different locations to film, so every city I go, I would find local dishes that are tasty and must try it all. This way I won’t have any regrets and won’t feel that I came to this city for nothing.” Wu Chun even revealed that he already planned to have a cooking competition with Ah Sa who loved to eat just as much. “Because the director also loved to eat, Ah Sa and I will compete cooking mash potato and the director will be the judge.” He even indicated confidently, “I think what I cook will taste better than hers.” How fancy can mash potato be? This Wu Chun would not elaborate. “That will depend on how you make it. I cannot tell you the recipe. What if she found out? Regardless, we will have a competition…this I insist.”
When Will the Blessed Event Happen
In Comparison Likes Ella More
In almost every drama, Wu Chun would have rumors with the female lead. From Ella, Angela Zhang to now Ah Sa who is “already spoken for”, each rumor was strong and intense, seemingly both real and illusory but Wu Chun had never let up and admit to any one of them, only insisted that they are all friends. “Ah Sa is a noisy and gregarious person. We both like to eat and thus became friends. Ella is also very outgoing and very approachable. Her type of no-big-deal personality makes it very easy for others to get along with her.” When asked further regarding Ella and Angela Zhang, these two different type of girls, which type he likes better, Wu Chun admitted indirectly with a bit of awkwardness that it would be Ella: “Her ability of becoming familiar within a few sentences, there is only one in a hundred.” Next, Wu Chun sighed in thought: “Having a relationship is not as easy as saying I want it, therefore I have it. If it comes out, perhaps we cannot even be friends. In that case, it is better to leave it at a safe distance.” What he said left a lot of room for the imagination.
Speaking of his opinion on love, Wu Chun said that he is like Liang Shan-Bo without any awkwardness, “I feel that love should be like that of Liang Shan-Bo and Zhu Ying-Tai. I can give up everything for her, even my life, because to find that someone you love is not easy.” As for the criteria for his future girlfriend, Wu Chu twice mentioned “sincere, unpretentious”, “I don’t have any requirement regarding appearance such as innocent looking type or hot chick type or whatever type. The most important is be unpretentious, has a kind heart, be sincere, make me willing to share everything with her. In the end, it is the feeling that is most important.”
Notes of the Interview: Approachable Attitude
The first time seeing Wu Chun was last April when he came to Guangzhou to promote [Hana-Kimi]. Ticket price was almost at $200 and yet people vied for it. Later at the press conference in preparation for interviews, that was when reporters from all media were sharpening their knives and that was also when one can best observe stars through little details. Wu Chun seemed very relaxed, peering left and right looking around with curiosity, even occasionally used Cantonese to greet everyone (although later in his blog, he said that he was very nervous because it was the first time he had to face so many reporters). Suddenly, he said to one photographer: “I have a top just like yours, from this brand too.” I guess this photographer had never met a star that have such an approachable attitude and was stunned momentarily without knowing how to respond.
This time interviewing him again and trying to “pretend familiarity”, used a friendly greeting, “Wu Chun, how are you? We met last year around this time. Don’t know if you remember.” I never expected him to respond. Never thought he would said cheerfully, “Right, last year’s [Hana-Kimi] promotion in Guangzhou.” I was surprised, “You remember?” He responded very quickly, “Yes, too bad I can’t go this year.” At the second interview, he even started with a “Hey, how is it going?”
I have seen many artists who are really cordially or just faking politeness. The greatest appeal of Wu Chun is that he is the naturally friendly and approachable person as described by his fans. If you can get one step closer to him, you would discover that he can make whoever he is talking feel relax and comfortable. While chatting, he suddenly asked me in curiosity whether I am taking notes as I am listening to him. Upon receiving his answer, he would exclaim in surprise: “That is awesome.” This type of attitude bears no relations to doing a promotion. It is really him being curious. Perhaps it is this curiosity that led him out of Brunei. Some Taiwanese artists would always posses a piece of the local market. He only entered the business for three years, but he has already step by step expanded the boundary of his career. Recently he even attempted to enter the realm of movies. Just on this point, he has the strategy and the foresight of a businessman. Call him a flaming star? Well, this flaming star may keep on burning for a long time to come yet.

interview w/ ricky lo
His princely looks have won him quite a following, first in the chinovela Hana Kimi The Original and now Romantic Princess, both aired on ABS-CBN. In the latter, Wu Chun plays one of the four successors to the owner-manager of a business empire whose granddaughter, played by Angela Zhang, falls head-over-heels for Wu Chun.
Beyond that, not much is known about Wu Chun.
Here’s what Conversations dug up about Wu Chun:
His real name is Goh Kiat Chun, of Chinese descent, born on Oct. 10, 1979 (a Libran), in Brunei, the youngest of three (one sister and one brother). Wu Chun comes from a wealthy family which owns Goh Hock Kee, the distributor of Mitsubishi in Brunei. He stands 5’10”, weighs 160 lbs., with type O blood and lists “actor, singer and model” as his profession.
A Business Administration major from RMIT University in Melbourne, Wu Chun speaks English, Malay (Bruneian) and three Chinese dialects (Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien). He drives a Blue Subaru Impreza Hatchback which he himself customized from the engine to the rims, including the exterior and the interior, with a license plate that bears his birthdate.
He has three tattoos, two around his upper right arm and one on his lower leg. He’s a big fan of Michael Jordan and he even flew to the US purposely to watch Jordan’s last game, with a courtside seat, after which he caught a glimpse of Jordan at his hotel.
“I love food,” he once said. “I love to eat.”
Wu Chun was a model in Singapore before he went to Taiwan where he was asked to play the main character in the Taiwanese drama Tokyo Juliet. Hello, stardom! He later joined the popular Taiwanese boyband Fahrenheit, the oldest of the four members who also include Wu Chun’s Romantic Princess co-star Calvin Chen. Prior to joining showbiz, he was a fitness instructor at his own gym, Fitness Zone, in Brunei.
Does Wu Chun really have three children as he was quoted in an interview, one of whom was shown with him in a picture posted on-line? It was a joke. The kid in the picture was his nephew and the “three children” were actually his Fahrenheit co-members whom he treats as “my children,” being younger than he is.
A sad note: Wu Chun lost his mother a few years ago. He’s often seen wearing a necklace with a ring on it; the ring is said to have been given to him by his mother on her deathbed.
Here are excerpts from yesterday’s Conversations with Wu Chun and Calvin Chen (also a member of the Fahrenheit band, along with two other guys) who are here to promote Romantic Princess (watch them today on the ABS-CBN noontime show ASAP 08 and on The Buzz):
What does your name mean in Chinese?
“I have to ask my father. (Laughs) Actually, my full name is Wu Chi Chun but they asked me to drop the ‘Chi’ when I joined showbiz. Chi means fortune and Chun means respect.”
You were born and grew up in Brunei, a very rich country. Did you live like a prince?
(Laughs some more) “No, no, no! Many people have a misunderstanding about Brunei. Yes, Brunei is a very rich country but it’s the King who is very rich. Our family belongs to the middle class. We are okay.”
What was your childhood ambition?
“Kids in Brunei all want to have a business and that was also what I wanted to have — a business of my own. They want to do something related to business. That’s why when I went to Melbourne, I took up Business Administration. After I graduated, I went back to Brunei and opened a health club. I really love challenging myself in the world of business.”
How was it growing up without your mom?
“Actually, I was about 24 when I lost my mom. She was the reason why I entered showbiz. When my mom passed away, I learned a very good lesson — not to be afraid of anything. That’s why I faced the challenge of entering showbiz, something I was very afraid to do before my mom died. I didn’t have confidence in myself. Now, I have self-confidence.”
What are your fond memories of your mom?
“My mom always took good care of me. She always reminded me to be a useful and good person.”
I’m sure she’s very happy that you have turned out to be a useful and good person.
“Yes. I’m sure she is.”
Are you wearing the ring that your mom has given to you?
“No, I’m not.”
Why? Where is it?
“I’m keeping it in a safe because I’m afraid of losing it.”
Having come from a privileged family....
...(Laughs)...”I don’t come from a privileged family...”
But your family is the distributor of Mitsubishi cars in Brunei, isn’t it?
“It’s my uncle who is the distributor. He’s quite rich. My family is more into another business, not really that rich.”
Oh, you’re very humble!
“No. That’s the truth. We are trying hard to make our business a success.”
If not money, what motivates you in your career?
“I think that everything I do now in showbiz is a good experience for me. Whether I succeed or not is not important to me. What’s important is the experience.”
With an uncle who distributes cars, you must be a car-lover.
“Yes, I am.”
Do you race?
“When I was in Melbourne, I did. I had a racing car.”
As a fitness buff, how do you take care of your body?
“Actually, the most important thing is that you must have the heart in whatever you do, including taking care of your health. Whatever you do, wherther working out, you have to put your 100 percent. You must be careful with what you eat. You must have focus; that’s very important.”
Aside from Michael Jordan, do you have any other role model?
“No. Only Michael Jordan. He’s the one who really influenced me. From the time I was a kid, he has influenced me a lot. I admire his attitude toward his game; he’s a good role model not only for me but for anybody.”
What’s your ideal girl?
“Somebody who is very simple, who is willing to share everything with me, somebody who is understanding, somebody who is happy to be with me and with whom I can be happy. Looks is not important. If you want to have a happy, lasting relationship, the feeling is more important than looks.”
Do you want to have a Filipina girlfriend? You still have time to look for one before you fly back to Taipei tomorrow.
“Let me see...Hahahahaha!”
Describe Calvin in three words.
“Very playboy. No, no, no, no, no! That’s a joke. He is clever, hard-working and responsible.”
Up close with Calvin Chen
Also a member of the Fahrenheit band, Calvin Chen’s Chinese name is Chen Yi Ru, born in Taiwan in Nov. 10, 1980 (Scorpion). He’s six-footer, weighs 143 lbs., with type A blood. He finished high school at Jianguo High School (one of the top schools in Taiwan) and college at the Simon Fraser University in Canada, and earned his M.A. in Economics at the University of Victoria.
While in Canada, Calvin competed in Sunshine Boyz, a pageant-like competiton, in Vancouver, emerging a winner. Among his prizes was a free ticket to Taiwan, a contract with a music company and a role in a drama. Currently enrolled at the National Chengchi University in Taipei, taking up Public Finance, Calvin speaks English and two Chinese dialects (Mandarin and Hokkien; he understands conversational Cantonese).
In Romantic Princess, he also plays one of the four successors to a big business empire.
Your Chinese name is Chen Yi Ru. What does it mean?
“Ru means scholar. My mom wants me to study hard. Yi means polite. My mom also wants me to be polite with people.”
How has your life been in Vancouver?
“Good. Very good! I went there when I was 18 and I lived by myself for seven years. I learned to be independent. It made my world wider and bigger.”
How many brothers and sisters do you have?
“I have one sister, two years older than I am. She’s getting married at the end of this year. I’m happy for her.”
What made you live in Vancouver by yourself?
“My dad wanted me to be independent. And I also wanted to be. For half a year, I stayed with my friends and then I lived by myself for more than six years. I was a student. I did everything by myself, including the laundry, cleaning the house, going to the grocery and doing the dishes — and paying all the bills.”
You took up Economics in college. Did you also want to put up your own business?
“If I did not become a model and an actor, I would have ended up in a financial institution, such as one dealing in stocks. Even now, I always read the business section when I get hold of a newspaper.”
You’ve been in Vancouver for seven years. Didn’t you experience any culture shock?
“Canada is a multi-cultural country. There are so many people from different countries — Japan, Korea, India, Philippines, etc....so many different races there. I’ve gotten to know so many people from different countries and I’ve learned how to respect their cultures and their traditions. I’ve learned how to adjust to any new culture and new environment.”
What are your hobbies?
(Joked Wu Chun, “Looking at the stocks. Hahahaha!”)
“Watching movies, going out with friends. Nothing much.”
How do you take care of your body?
“I don’t eat late. I learned from Chun what food is nutritious and what is junk food. He always tells me to eat and eat because he thinks I’m too skinny.”
(Wu Chun: “He was very skinny before. But now he’s okay. He also sometimes goes to the gym and that’s good.”)
Who’s your role model?
“My dad. He’s the vice president of a company. He takes good care of our family and that’s the most important thing. He gave me a good education, including sending me to Vancouver to be independent. He’s 58, getting old, and his heart is not so good so I worry about him. I can’t spend so much time with him. And when I do, I go out to dinner with him.”
What’s your ideal girl?
“Same with Chun’s — simple and a happy girl. The feeling is important. Somebody who can be a friend and a family to me. Somebody with the same values as I have and who can work together with me.”
Is nationality a factor?
“Not really. I had a Korean girlfriend before.”
(Wu Chun: “You want a Bruneian girlfriend? Hahahaha.”)
Do you want a Filipina girlfriend?
“Why not?”
You still have time to look for one before you fly back to Taipei tomorrow.
“Hahahahaha!”
Describe Wu Chun in three words.
“Mature. Responsible. Hard-working.”

calvin and chun's presscon interview
Fresh from Taiwan, Asian superstars Wu Chun and Calvin Chen immediately attended their series of guestings here in the Philippines. Their first stop was Entertainment Live where lots of Pinoy fans welcomed the dashing stars of the hit Taiwanese soap Romantic Princess, which is currently airing on ABS-CBN. Soon after that, they went to a strictly by-invitation press conference where the local media got to know them better.
Among all the Asian heartthrobs who came here in the past, Chun and Calvin were the ones who are most well-informed about Philippines. Indeed, they revealed that this is not their first visit in the country.“I know a lot. Because I run a health club in Brunei and almost 80% of my staff are from the Philippines. That's why I come here every now and then to interview (applicants). And I (have tried) mango ice cream and yema ice cream when I was like 6-years-old. Because there are a lot of Filipinos in Brunei, I get to eat the ice-cream,” said Chun, who was born and raised in Brunei.Calvin on the other hand was able to visit Philippines once for vacation. “I came here like 10 years ago with my family because I know there are so many places in the Philippines which are good for resorts and trips. One of my friends also came here just last week. And I remember when I was a kid the seafood here was pretty nice and very yummy!” he exclaimed.
When asked if they knew that they are very popular among the Filipinos, Calvin replied that they didn’t. In fact, they were quite worried that only a selected few would be waiting for their arrival. Chun further explained, “When we have activities in other countries, sometimes there are fans from the Philippines who write letters for us and say, ‘Hey, come to the Philippines! You have a lot of fans here.’ But we were not sure how many. And now that we’re here, were really happy to see that a lot of people are really supporting our drama. And we thank ABS-CBN and GTN for this opportunity.” To top it all, they also expressed their desire to work with Filipino actresses when given the chance. As for now though, they have a tight schedule due to their upcoming Asian tour with two of the other members of their boy band known as Fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit vs. F4
Since the mention of their group popped up, the press prodded them about being compared to F4 of the hit Taiwanese series MeteorGarden. Both Chun and Calvin refused to say who’s more popular between the two groups these days. Chun even claimed that F4 is “still big in Taiwan” and that both F4 and Fahrenheit have their fair share of supporters. As for being at par with F4, Chun’s opinion on the subject merely emphasized his down-to-earth personality.“I think we still have a lot of things to learn. We are just new. We’ve been in showbiz for just three years. And I think F4 has been in this business for seven years or so. (And besides), we can’t judge this by ourselves. But what's important is that in all our dramas and record albums, we do our very best and hope that we get good results.”
Sing or Act?
Like most actor-singers, Chen and Calvin enjoy the best of both worlds. But their sense of fulfillment doesn’t only stem from being able to do what they love to do but also from the priceless experience of meeting their avid fans. “I remember one day I talked to Chun and the other members of Fahrenheit and said, ‘Isn’t it weird that we have shook so many hands’. Like how many people can get this experience in their whole life. To be in this business is really a special experience for me. There is so much love from the fans wherever we go,” Calvin gushed.As for Chun’s part, “We love both. When we're singing on stage, we’re face to face with our audience, to all the fans. And you can get their support and love in a straight and direct way. And when we are being actors, the audience, they start to love you as the character you are acting. So I think (sense of fulfillment) is quite different.”
The Real Us
In Romantic Princess, Calvin is a happy-go-lucky flirt who never had a serious relationship while Chun is cast as the responsible type. Hence, Calvin quickly set the record straight about his personality off cam. “I have to say that I’m not a playboy in real life. I’m outgoing in real life but I’m not a playboy. I don’t fool around between girls. And when I found my true love I will be really serious,” he stressed. Chun on the other hand revealed that he shared lots of similarities with his character in the story. “In the drama, Jin worked very hard for his career and he's willing to leave his family and go on his own. And this kind of direction is what I’m doing right now.”
Still Single
With their drop-dead gorgeous looks, charming smile, and well-built frame, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Chun and Calvin are taken. But it seems that even in their late 20’s, it would be a long time before they get themselves a steady girlfriend. “No time to date. Our company would say, ‘You can have a girlfriend, we don’t mind.’ But you know, with our (hectic schedule), there's no time for us to have a girlfriend at all,” Chun laughingly shared.

"Hot Shot" challenges ratings; Jerry, Show & Chun will reveal upper body
“Hot Shot” is set out to compete with Taiwan’s highest rating drama “Fated to Love You”. CTV and GTV racked their brains to attract viewers; yesterday (June 17th) announced that if the rating of the first episode wins against “Fated to Love You”, the 3 main male leads Jerry Yan, Show Luo and Wu Zun will reveal their upper body. Upon hearing this, Show did not hesitate to say: “No problem!”
Yesterday, at the Shanghai Film Festival for his debut movie “Sword Butterfly”, Wu Zun, when told about this, thought very seriously before saying: “But I don’t think this is a big deal, because in the drama, I already will reveal my upper body.” Also in Shanghai, Jerry is currently filming his new drama “Stardust”. His manager expressed that they have not yet been informed this news but Jerry put a lot of effort into “Hot Shot” so evidently, he hopes the drama will do well.
Since both Chun and Jerry are in mainland China at the moment, it is up to Show to promote “Hot Shot” and attract viewers. Yesterday at 100% Entertainment, a 1-minute preview of “Hot Shot” was shown. Not only did Show promise to reveal his upper body if ratings win against “Fated to Love You”, he also shouted to viewers: “Summer is here! Mums, please hand the remote to your children; playing basketball is very rewarding, yet good exercise.”
Show also said, although “Fated to Love You” is gaining tremendously good ratings, he actually does not feel a lot of pressure. Plus, when he saw the 1-minute preview of “Hot Shot”, he feels it is very attracting, hence he has more confidence to promote it. He also honestly expressed that at first, he did think that “Hot Shot” should air after “Fated to Love You” has finished because after all, “Fated to Love You” already has such amazing ratings, hence the audience will most likely want to watch it till the end. However, he says this decision lies upon the broadcasting networks, so he can only do his best on his part.
Show also posted a photo of a very funny scene in the drama on his blog. In this scene, he has a make-over to look like Xu Zhi Mo, and is a romantic “imagination” scene with female lead Zhou Cai Shi. However, he says his new well-groomed fringe feels like a wig and is “so ugly”. At the time, the scene was filmed at a local university and the passer-bys could not even recognize Show. Show said he was initially going to fix a beard on too, but the director could not stand it and said to him: “If u fix a beard on, this drama will really turn into a comedy, just concentrate on acting well.”

charlene denies dating wu chun , says give gillian more time
It has been widely rumored that due to their recent film collaboration, Ah Sa and Wu Chun have become a real couple. Although Wu Chun is handsome and rich, Charlene denies being more than friends with him. After having filmed "The Butterfly Lovers" with Wu Chun, there have been rumors that the two have secretly been dating for three months.
Yesterday, Charlene, Joey Yung, and Raymond Lam dressed in equestrian clothing to attend a press conference at the Sha Tin Race Course. It was there that Charlene denied that she and Wu Chun are an item, stating: "We're only a couple in the virtual world [speaking about in "The Butterfly Lovers"]. To avoid any confusion, I will be clear in stating that he is just a friend!" She jokingly continued, "However, if these love rumors will help publicize the film, then I won't mind!"
Blushing Over Ronald
When asked about Ronald Cheng and the breakup rumors, Charlene, blushing, quickly said: "I won't say!" and blamed her blushing on the hot weather.
Give Gillian Time
In addition, Charlene talked about her good sister Gillian, stating that this time period has allowed Gillian to grow, and that it is a precious period of time for maturation. Charlene then said that everyone needs to give Gillian some time.
New Twins?
As for the rumors that Stephy Tang and Theresa Fu would form the "new Twins," Ah Sa said that the issue is too complicated and did not comment on it.

wu chun denies romancing with ah sa
The Chun-Angela romance has become history! Earlier Angela revealed publicy she was involved with "Mr Sky", Wu Zun yesterday was also reported in Hong Kong tabloids to have developed a relationship with Twin's Ah Sa while filming Jian Die, and it had already carried on for more than 3 months, however wu Zun after hearing that burst out laughing, "We only filmed together for about 2 months, where did this more-than-3-months relationship come from, it's too much!"
Hong Kong media reveal Wu Zun's rumours in Jian Die
According to Hong Kong reports, Ah Sa who had reportedly broken up with Ronald Cheng met the handsome and wealthy Wu Zun during this void in her love life. The two while filming Jian Die behaved lovingly on and off stage, Ah Sa even said before that Wu Zun gave her the feeling of first love; Wu Zun expressed with surprise, "How is it the movie hasn't even been screened, but the rumours have already started!"
Wu Zun said, he and Ah Sa only knew each other because of filming, initially to build up chemistry, the two would take the initiative to chat with each other, because they both love good food, during their free time in Shanghai, would often go in search of good food with another foodie, director Jingle Ma; he said jokingly, he had never seen a girl who could eat so much, when eating would automatically order a whole table of food, her good appetite was astonishing, heard that Ah Sa's fans would call her "Food God", "I'm also called Food God in Taiwan, but Ah Sa wouldn't lose to me!" The two even arranged that while promoting the movie, they would have a cooking contest, because Ah Sa boasted that she made a very good potato mash, Wu Zun was confident he wouldn't lose to her, they would get the director to be the judge.
Wu Zun laughingly "discards" Ah Sa, congratulates Angela's new romance
Even though jokingly criticising the groundless rumours, Wu Zun still generously praised Ah Sa that even though she was younger than him, she knew how to take care of people very well, while filming night scenes in low temperatures, she would cook pork rib soup for the crew to warm themselves, because she had filmed more movies than him, would also impart filming skills to him, helping him to familiarise himself with the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
As for previous rumoured girlfriend Angela Chang's new rumoured romance, Wu Zun said, the past two months he had been filming in China, was so distanced from the outside world that he didn't even know Angela was putting up her concert, much less know about the rumours, but if it was real, he would sincerely wish her well, because a good girl deserved to have someone taking good care of her.

wu chun will be coming here in philippines ! confirmed
My debut movie is about to wrap up soon… Such a nice crew along the way and of course, I can now feel that I will miss each and every filming moment with all these wonderful people! Filming this movie has been the happiest decision I have made and though I don't know what the outcome will be... like what I've always said, I did my best so what’s important to me is the experience that I encounter and the challenge… I met many nice people, 2 directors who are unbelievably thoughtful and hard working and most important of all, I find great satisfaction in my work as an actor because I am willing to learn and they are very willing to teach…Marvelous! Michael Jordan once said "You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them." Hey Michael, I am listening! Hahaha :-)
Having traveled to various cities in China for the past 2 months, it has given me different feelings and memories. I realized that in many places there are still people who are living a very simple life… Maybe they live their whole life without shopping or entertainment... but still... they do spend time with their family, growing fruits and veges and even selling a big basket of strawberries for only RMB5! Hey, what's wrong with that? Are you able to adapt to this kind of life? Yes or No? Well, when you think of it... that's the life they had ever since they were born into this world. I did approach few and had a short chat with them and they are happy with their life…that's all that matters, isn’t it? It really proves that happiness can be very simple. It's actually up to you if u wants to be happy or not… For me, life in showbiz is very complicated but I guess I am lucky that I am from Brunei and I have always and will try to live a simple life because I think being simple is the key to happiness…Try it ☺ Fight for your happiness like a WARRIOR!
Well, I have been busy focusing on filming my debut movie for the past 2 months and…Tonnnnns of activities coming up and can't wait to meet all of you! YEAH, good good good..hahaa!!!

Wu Chun is scared of chickens !!
It is amazing to believe that Wu Chun a very handsome man, is actually afraid of chickens. The most amusing is that while Chun was filming for a their movie with charlene in a little village , they encountered there chickens . After much persuasion from the media, Wu Chun suddenly became "girly", twisting his body and was reluctant to take a picture with the cow. The foreign localist also laughed and told him in English, "Go closer. It's just a chickens." , Charlene is laughing at him while saying before i thought that you like superman , haha ! LOL

Charlene takes off her clothes for "Butterfly Lovers", Chun speechless:)
source: UDN
translated by: x-WISHFULthinking@asianfanatics.net
In the upcoming movie “Butterfly Lovers”, Wu Zun had to help Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) do a medical examination to identify whether she is male or female. When Charlene took off her clothes, Chun was quite speechless. When the director yelled ‘Cut!’ Charlene got very nervous and asked Chun, ,“What did you see?”
The very handsome and hot body Chun, for his first movie “Butterfly Lovers” he broke 3 “first times”. It was the first time he filmed a movie, it was his first time wearing traditional outfit and it was his first time filming a martial arts theme. Chun said, “This year, 2 months before the movie started filming, martial arts guide Chen Xiao Dong was busy with the opening ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympics, and at the same time had to take some time out to teach me martial arts.” When Chun was 18 years old, he had already practiced 3 months of martial arts with some monks, hence his basic skills was not bad. Chen Xiao Dong wanted Chun to specialize in fencing skills and he said that, “To have the sword come out sharply, the focus should be steady and your eyes must be on the target.” Chen Xiao Dong designed 4 major fighting scenes for Chun in the movie. One of them was he had to fight 50/60 people by himself and he says that Chun can match with Keanu Reeves from “The Matrix”.
Action scenes depend on skill, and love scenes depend on feelings. Chun who plays Romeo and Charlene who plays Juliet, from “male, male love” to “male, female love” meet many obstacles on the way. When asked how Chun finds out that Charlene is a girl, he begins to laugh non-stop. When he finally controls himself, he says, “There was one scene when I accidentally saw her take off her clothes. At the time, all the staff and workers were instructed to ‘Turn around’ and it was only the director, film guy and me who was allowed to look while she took off her clothes. After filming that scene, Charlene kept asking me ‘You were looking so closely, what did you see?’ and I said ‘I didn’t see anything!” Chun’s assistant immediately came to his assistance and said, “Charlene was wearing ‘Little Cuties’ , Chun really did not see anything la.”
(*translator’s note: ‘Little Cuties’ = small singlet)
However, after finishing filming “Butterfly Lovers”, Chun and Charlene have become good friends. Last week Charlene came to Taipei to film a MV, and Chun was happy to do some accompanying. Charlene originally wanted to eat Mala pot at the night markets, but Chun recommended not to, and it was then when they all went to eat at Harlem’s Taiwanese cuisine restaurant instead. Chun, who loves food, ordered a lot of food and was very content afterwards. On the subject of food, Chun said, “When my mother was alive, the thing she worried most about was that I would work too hard and not have time to eat. Now I work hard but I never forget to eat, I do take good care of myself so I want my mother in the heavens, not to worry about me.”

wu chun loves fillial woman :]
Wu Chun, who although had only been in the business for three years but was already popular in both singing and acting, recently also entered the world of movies. His collaboration with Ah Sa Charlene Choi in the Jingle Ma directed movie [Butterfly Lovers] was in keeping with his future plans of developing his career in the three realms of singing, movie and television. It was small wonder that the rumor of Wu Chun being the most popular and most money-making member of Fahrenheit persisted. However Wu Chun worried that the rumors would affect the brother-like relationship for the foursome because previously it had been often rumored that there were conflicts among them. He denied modestly: [We all have similar workloads. We all have acting roles and are busy in our own ways. We got along very well and there is no jealousy. Whenever we get together, we always discuss about the work of each other.] He also denied that Fahrenheit would disband. As for love relationships, Wu Chun admitted frankly that currently, he was not involved in any relationships but if he was to choose a girlfriend, he had some strict conditions. Other than being unpretentious, the most important thing she must possess was a filial heart.
Each time Wu Chun collaborated with an actress would result in romantic rumors, including Ariel Lin in [Tokyo Juliet], Angela Zhang in [Romantic Princess] and Ella from S.H.E in [Hana-Kimi]. There was no exception this time with the movie [Butterfly Lovers]. Although Ah Sa was already attached and her relationship with Ronald Cheng was an open secret, but the romantic rumors still continued. This was certainly evidence of Wu Chun’s irresistible appeal.

handsome chun was so unlucky
Looking at that practically flawless face of Wu Chun, terms that most people used in books to describe looks that were beautiful but soulless, such as “ruby-red lips, bright dark eyes and jade-like face” automatically came to mind. When seeing him for the first time, he looked like a typical new matinee idol. Slowly, his family background came to light. There were more opportunities for him to appear in front of the audience. Is this “beauty” truly “all looks but no inner substance”? From being cheated by friends in business to running two large fitness centers all by himself, despite coming from a rich family background and yet preferred to leave that all behind to be an actor and suffer endless rebukes from directors, how to break through the language barrier and from an idol lead man evolved into a martial actor…This person who was crowned by his fans as the Prince Charming of their dreams, his personal life was not perfect like a fairy tale. Through understanding his real life, perhaps we can tell whether the tranquility and subtlety he demonstrated was natural or intentionally suppressed.
Wu Chun came from an extremely rich family in Brunei. His father is the local land baron and his older uncle is one of the ten richest men in Brunei. Wu Chun went overseas for his formal education at 16 and at 24, became the owner of a large scale fitness center. At the same time, he was also a player for the Brunei national basketball team. He was, in a literal sense, a prince who lived in a castle. This type of lifestyle seemed to be without any worries or obstacles. He also admitted that during childhood, many things in his life was smooth sailing, even in taking exams, he had never failed. “When growing up, I had pretty good grades. When I was in my early teens, I started to like sports and dropped out of the top 3 spots in my class but my grades were still Ok up to university. I had never failed. As soon as you work hard, you will pass…oh but that does not mean with high marks.” This flower-like man that everything seemed to go smoothly his way was truly still at the growing-up stage of “Being young and not acquainted with worries”. He still was like a “well-behaved cub”. He added: “But in Brunei, there really was not much for entertainment. That’s probably why students are more focused on schoolwork. Normally I also love to play but I would insist on finishing my homework before going out. When attending university in Australia, I would often stay in the school by myself. I did not go to pub for drinks or anything like that. I don’t really like that kind place. Probably it is because my attitude is not that open.”
Unlucky Event #1
Cheated by Friend in Business Venture
Between the time of being an excellent student and basking in the glory after becoming famous, Wu Chun actually experienced several obstacles and blows. Speaking of the first labor pain in his life, it would be his first experience with going into business after his return to Brunei: “Before I opened the fitness center, I had opened an auto body shop with a very good friend. Because at that time, I was also working as a model, I was not involved in the shop. My friend had the full running of it. Through it all, I trusted him very much and so never asked him how many money was made. I felt embarrassed to ask and I was also afraid that he would thought I don’t trust him. One day, I did ask and only then I realized he had not been honest and had squandered all the money had the business had made. He said he would return the money to me at a later date. I was very angry, utterly disappointed in him. I withdrew all my investment, reclaimed everything that belonged to me and decided to go our separate ways. It is later that I decided to open a business on my own.” Pausing for a moment, Wu Chun said meaningfully: “So I tell you, if you go into a business with someone, don’t trust them too much. In a business, there are lots of questions that everyone must be cleared on. It is not to say that you should not trust your friends, it is just a better way of running a business together. This is one point that I only realized later.”
Unlucky Event #2
Mother Passing Away Too Soon
If betrayed by a friend was only the first obstacle in Wu Chun’s career, the passing of his mother from illness when he was in school was a much bigger blow. “Since the start, there were even more times when I was away from home. I did not have to time to be with my mother when I was in school. By the time I wanted to be with her, it was too late. This type of regret is not something money or anything else can buy back. It was smooth sailing for many little things but it is things that I placed the most importance on, the biggest things that have not been smooth.” The regret of “the child wanting to care but the parent is no longer around” led to Wu Chun spending more time with his family whenever he can. However faced with the opportunity of entering the business and becoming an artist, Wu Chun had struggled in his heart: “No matter how others discuss my family background, I know that I gave up and sacrificed a lot to enter into the business. Actually even now, I still have inner struggles. Is that worth it for me to leave home, enter the business and sacrifice the time that I can spend with my father? But it is also because the passing of my mother that made me wanting to challenge myself. I had always been afraid of performing. When I was young, going on stage to accept a trophy for winning basketball games, I was afraid. The more I was like that, the more I wanted to challenge the feeling of fear. It is this type of thinking that upheld my decision to enter the business and become an artist.”
Unlucky Event #3
Encountering Language Barrier
When first arrived in Taipei, Wu Chun who was not very familiar with the language must face yet another difficult barrier in his career. Although he was fluent in Malay and English but when it came to Minan and Mandarin, he must start afresh. “Before coming to Taiwan, I already have not spoken Chinese in 15 years. I also cannot understand when someone speaks too fast. I only know simple phrases like eating or drinking. In my first drama [Tokyo Juliet], I am already playing the male lead. There was great pressure. You know, there is a big difference between the leading role and a supporting role. In a supporter role, once you finish uttering your own lines, you are done. As the male lead, you are in almost every scene. There were many lines of dialogue. It was very difficult to act. At that time, I would even cry in secret. The first year was so tough that I did not want continue.” Because of the cultural and language differences, Wu Chun must work several times harder than others in acting performances.
Earlier when he was filming [Hana-Kimi], he saw Ella bind the loose pages of the script together into one book and he copied her method. To make reading it easier, he even printed out a script outline in English using his computer and taped it on the cover of the script. Everyone teased him about the thick book, saying that it looked more like a textbook than a drama script. When filming [Tokyo Juliet], in addition to attending pronunciation class, he even went into the office to practice reading newspaper and scripts aloud. All these efforts paid off as his Chinese, both spoken and reading, had improve tremendously.
Unlucky Event #4
Gruelling Training in Martial Arts Movie
After appearing in three dramas, [Toyko Juliet], [Hana-Kimi] and [Romantic Princess], Wu Chun invaded the big silver screen and gave his first Martial Arts performance in [Butterfly Lovers]. This is very different from idol drama which consisted of going to the beach to shoot the breeze and engage in love talks. For this movie, Wu Chun underwent intense training two months before the movie start shooting. Everyday, from basic stretching, boxing, swordplay to holding a stance, Wu Chun practiced non-stop and would cause Wu Chun to scream in pain and start tearing up. He also needed to practice the motion of swinging the sword 100 times daily, to the point that his hands would shake holding chopsticks at mealtimes. “This is my first Martial Arts movie and I really care about my performance in it. Each day I had to practice swordplay and martial moves. Each fighting scene took a week to film. It was me against a lot of people so I had to keep up my condition and also had to remember moves. It was very difficult. But the hardest thing was that this movie is a tragedy. Filming like this on a daily basis really affects the mood. In Shanghai, it was very hot in the daytime and very cold at night. That also made it difficult to adjust.
As filming officially started, he insisted against using a stunt double. The experience of one scene in which he was to jumped down from a three storey height still gave him the shivers in recollection. “Originally the director arranged a stunt double for me but I did not want that. So I asked the stuntman to demonstrate it once. Later when I climbed up and got into position, I then realized that it really was very high. I had never been afraid of games such as bugee jumping or roller coaster riding. In Las Vegas, there was a ride in which one spins around at the height of 70 storey and that did not scare me. But the feeling of falling face down during a fight scene was very different. You don’t know what would happen when you jump. I was a little scared at the time. In the end, I forced myself to jump.” Although doing a martial arts movie made Wu Chun exclaimed “I don’t want to do a costumed Martial Arts movie next time”, but “upon seeing the result after editing, it felt pretty awesome. Maybe I should make an attempt towards this direction.”
So Many Unlucky Events
Regarding Going Sole and Relying Only on Looks
Within FRH, the track record of Wu Chun is obviously not on the same level as the other three members. The rumor of “going solo” had never stopped. Wu Chun no longer insisted on “will not go solo”, instead he left a lot of leeway: “Actually right from the beginning, we all do acting job individually and come together to release albums. So there is never any talk of going solo. Each person has his own opportunities and direction focus.” Wu Chun had confirmed that he will not be doing any dramas this year in order to concentrate on preparing for concerts and doing movies. He denied that he will not be doing dramas because his asking price had increased dramatically. His words did not hide his plan of putting the focus of his work on making movies. “It really is because there is no time available in the second part of the year that I won’t be doing any dramas although I am very interested in doing action martial arts movies. As for TV dramas, if there is a good script, I still would do it.” When he first started, some audience described Wu Chun as “relying only on looks” because of his immature acting skills and overly handsome looks, how does he view himself today? Wu Chun went silent for a moment and then said: “Actually all along, I feel that I am not as what others think. I worked very hard to improve, to upgrade my acting skills, I have tried my best.”
Unlucky Event Turned Into A Good Thing
Described by Ah Sa as Having the Appetite of An Ox
In [Butterfly Lovers], Wu Chun collaborated with Ah Sa. The mandarin speaking ability of both of them is only so-so. This time, there is even classical Chinese and idioms. Wu Chun described that the most often used terms nowadays is “It is nothing” and “Well met, well met”. Wu Chun’s ferocious appetite is well known. Even Ah Sa, this female connoisseur of food, said that he has four stomachs like an ox. As soon as he stepped into a restaurant, his usual elegant manner disappeared. He would jumped up and chased after the waiters asking “where is the food, where is the food”. When the food arrived, he would then rush and make the waiter to bring rice, sometimes even went as far as going into the kitchen to help bring out the food. About this, Wu Chun said a bit shyly: “Actually it is not as exaggerated as that. I don’t have a big appetite but I can eat continuously. It is a hardship to go to different locations to film, so every city I go, I would find local dishes that are tasty and must try it all. This way I won’t have any regrets and won’t feel that I came to this city for nothing.” Wu Chun even revealed that he already planned to have a cooking competition with Ah Sa who loved to eat just as much. “Because the director also loved to eat, Ah Sa and I will compete cooking mash potato and the director will be the judge.” He even indicated confidently, “I think what I cook will taste better than hers.” How fancy can mash potato be? This Wu Chun would not elaborate. “That will depend on how you make it. I cannot tell you the recipe. What if she found out? Regardless, we will have a competition…this I insist.”
When Will the Blessed Event Happen
In Comparison Likes Ella More
In almost every drama, Wu Chun would have rumors with the female lead. From Ella, Angela Zhang to now Ah Sa who is “already spoken for”, each rumor was strong and intense, seemingly both real and illusory but Wu Chun had never let up and admit to any one of them, only insisted that they are all friends. “Ah Sa is a noisy and gregarious person. We both like to eat and thus became friends. Ella is also very outgoing and very approachable. Her type of no-big-deal personality makes it very easy for others to get along with her.” When asked further regarding Ella and Angela Zhang, these two different type of girls, which type he likes better, Wu Chun admitted indirectly with a bit of awkwardness that it would be Ella: “Her ability of becoming familiar within a few sentences, there is only one in a hundred.” Next, Wu Chun sighed in thought: “Having a relationship is not as easy as saying I want it, therefore I have it. If it comes out, perhaps we cannot even be friends. In that case, it is better to leave it at a safe distance.” What he said left a lot of room for the imagination.
Speaking of his opinion on love, Wu Chun said that he is like Liang Shan-Bo without any awkwardness, “I feel that love should be like that of Liang Shan-Bo and Zhu Ying-Tai. I can give up everything for her, even my life, because to find that someone you love is not easy.” As for the criteria for his future girlfriend, Wu Chu twice mentioned “sincere, unpretentious”, “I don’t have any requirement regarding appearance such as innocent looking type or hot chick type or whatever type. The most important is be unpretentious, has a kind heart, be sincere, make me willing to share everything with her. In the end, it is the feeling that is most important.”
Notes of the Interview: Approachable Attitude
The first time seeing Wu Chun was last April when he came to Guangzhou to promote [Hana-Kimi]. Ticket price was almost at $200 and yet people vied for it. Later at the press conference in preparation for interviews, that was when reporters from all media were sharpening their knives and that was also when one can best observe stars through little details. Wu Chun seemed very relaxed, peering left and right looking around with curiosity, even occasionally used Cantonese to greet everyone (although later in his blog, he said that he was very nervous because it was the first time he had to face so many reporters). Suddenly, he said to one photographer: “I have a top just like yours, from this brand too.” I guess this photographer had never met a star that have such an approachable attitude and was stunned momentarily without knowing how to respond.
This time interviewing him again and trying to “pretend familiarity”, used a friendly greeting, “Wu Chun, how are you? We met last year around this time. Don’t know if you remember.” I never expected him to respond. Never thought he would said cheerfully, “Right, last year’s [Hana-Kimi] promotion in Guangzhou.” I was surprised, “You remember?” He responded very quickly, “Yes, too bad I can’t go this year.” At the second interview, he even started with a “Hey, how is it going?”
I have seen many artists who are really cordially or just faking politeness. The greatest appeal of Wu Chun is that he is the naturally friendly and approachable person as described by his fans. If you can get one step closer to him, you would discover that he can make whoever he is talking feel relax and comfortable. While chatting, he suddenly asked me in curiosity whether I am taking notes as I am listening to him. Upon receiving his answer, he would exclaim in surprise: “That is awesome.” This type of attitude bears no relations to doing a promotion. It is really him being curious. Perhaps it is this curiosity that led him out of Brunei. Some Taiwanese artists would always posses a piece of the local market. He only entered the business for three years, but he has already step by step expanded the boundary of his career. Recently he even attempted to enter the realm of movies. Just on this point, he has the strategy and the foresight of a businessman. Call him a flaming star? Well, this flaming star may keep on burning for a long time to come yet.

interview w/ ricky lo
His princely looks have won him quite a following, first in the chinovela Hana Kimi The Original and now Romantic Princess, both aired on ABS-CBN. In the latter, Wu Chun plays one of the four successors to the owner-manager of a business empire whose granddaughter, played by Angela Zhang, falls head-over-heels for Wu Chun.
Beyond that, not much is known about Wu Chun.
Here’s what Conversations dug up about Wu Chun:
His real name is Goh Kiat Chun, of Chinese descent, born on Oct. 10, 1979 (a Libran), in Brunei, the youngest of three (one sister and one brother). Wu Chun comes from a wealthy family which owns Goh Hock Kee, the distributor of Mitsubishi in Brunei. He stands 5’10”, weighs 160 lbs., with type O blood and lists “actor, singer and model” as his profession.
A Business Administration major from RMIT University in Melbourne, Wu Chun speaks English, Malay (Bruneian) and three Chinese dialects (Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien). He drives a Blue Subaru Impreza Hatchback which he himself customized from the engine to the rims, including the exterior and the interior, with a license plate that bears his birthdate.
He has three tattoos, two around his upper right arm and one on his lower leg. He’s a big fan of Michael Jordan and he even flew to the US purposely to watch Jordan’s last game, with a courtside seat, after which he caught a glimpse of Jordan at his hotel.
“I love food,” he once said. “I love to eat.”
Wu Chun was a model in Singapore before he went to Taiwan where he was asked to play the main character in the Taiwanese drama Tokyo Juliet. Hello, stardom! He later joined the popular Taiwanese boyband Fahrenheit, the oldest of the four members who also include Wu Chun’s Romantic Princess co-star Calvin Chen. Prior to joining showbiz, he was a fitness instructor at his own gym, Fitness Zone, in Brunei.
Does Wu Chun really have three children as he was quoted in an interview, one of whom was shown with him in a picture posted on-line? It was a joke. The kid in the picture was his nephew and the “three children” were actually his Fahrenheit co-members whom he treats as “my children,” being younger than he is.
A sad note: Wu Chun lost his mother a few years ago. He’s often seen wearing a necklace with a ring on it; the ring is said to have been given to him by his mother on her deathbed.
Here are excerpts from yesterday’s Conversations with Wu Chun and Calvin Chen (also a member of the Fahrenheit band, along with two other guys) who are here to promote Romantic Princess (watch them today on the ABS-CBN noontime show ASAP 08 and on The Buzz):
What does your name mean in Chinese?
“I have to ask my father. (Laughs) Actually, my full name is Wu Chi Chun but they asked me to drop the ‘Chi’ when I joined showbiz. Chi means fortune and Chun means respect.”
You were born and grew up in Brunei, a very rich country. Did you live like a prince?
(Laughs some more) “No, no, no! Many people have a misunderstanding about Brunei. Yes, Brunei is a very rich country but it’s the King who is very rich. Our family belongs to the middle class. We are okay.”
What was your childhood ambition?
“Kids in Brunei all want to have a business and that was also what I wanted to have — a business of my own. They want to do something related to business. That’s why when I went to Melbourne, I took up Business Administration. After I graduated, I went back to Brunei and opened a health club. I really love challenging myself in the world of business.”
How was it growing up without your mom?
“Actually, I was about 24 when I lost my mom. She was the reason why I entered showbiz. When my mom passed away, I learned a very good lesson — not to be afraid of anything. That’s why I faced the challenge of entering showbiz, something I was very afraid to do before my mom died. I didn’t have confidence in myself. Now, I have self-confidence.”
What are your fond memories of your mom?
“My mom always took good care of me. She always reminded me to be a useful and good person.”
I’m sure she’s very happy that you have turned out to be a useful and good person.
“Yes. I’m sure she is.”
Are you wearing the ring that your mom has given to you?
“No, I’m not.”
Why? Where is it?
“I’m keeping it in a safe because I’m afraid of losing it.”
Having come from a privileged family....
...(Laughs)...”I don’t come from a privileged family...”
But your family is the distributor of Mitsubishi cars in Brunei, isn’t it?
“It’s my uncle who is the distributor. He’s quite rich. My family is more into another business, not really that rich.”
Oh, you’re very humble!
“No. That’s the truth. We are trying hard to make our business a success.”
If not money, what motivates you in your career?
“I think that everything I do now in showbiz is a good experience for me. Whether I succeed or not is not important to me. What’s important is the experience.”
With an uncle who distributes cars, you must be a car-lover.
“Yes, I am.”
Do you race?
“When I was in Melbourne, I did. I had a racing car.”
As a fitness buff, how do you take care of your body?
“Actually, the most important thing is that you must have the heart in whatever you do, including taking care of your health. Whatever you do, wherther working out, you have to put your 100 percent. You must be careful with what you eat. You must have focus; that’s very important.”
Aside from Michael Jordan, do you have any other role model?
“No. Only Michael Jordan. He’s the one who really influenced me. From the time I was a kid, he has influenced me a lot. I admire his attitude toward his game; he’s a good role model not only for me but for anybody.”
What’s your ideal girl?
“Somebody who is very simple, who is willing to share everything with me, somebody who is understanding, somebody who is happy to be with me and with whom I can be happy. Looks is not important. If you want to have a happy, lasting relationship, the feeling is more important than looks.”
Do you want to have a Filipina girlfriend? You still have time to look for one before you fly back to Taipei tomorrow.
“Let me see...Hahahahaha!”
Describe Calvin in three words.
“Very playboy. No, no, no, no, no! That’s a joke. He is clever, hard-working and responsible.”
Up close with Calvin Chen
Also a member of the Fahrenheit band, Calvin Chen’s Chinese name is Chen Yi Ru, born in Taiwan in Nov. 10, 1980 (Scorpion). He’s six-footer, weighs 143 lbs., with type A blood. He finished high school at Jianguo High School (one of the top schools in Taiwan) and college at the Simon Fraser University in Canada, and earned his M.A. in Economics at the University of Victoria.
While in Canada, Calvin competed in Sunshine Boyz, a pageant-like competiton, in Vancouver, emerging a winner. Among his prizes was a free ticket to Taiwan, a contract with a music company and a role in a drama. Currently enrolled at the National Chengchi University in Taipei, taking up Public Finance, Calvin speaks English and two Chinese dialects (Mandarin and Hokkien; he understands conversational Cantonese).
In Romantic Princess, he also plays one of the four successors to a big business empire.
Your Chinese name is Chen Yi Ru. What does it mean?
“Ru means scholar. My mom wants me to study hard. Yi means polite. My mom also wants me to be polite with people.”
How has your life been in Vancouver?
“Good. Very good! I went there when I was 18 and I lived by myself for seven years. I learned to be independent. It made my world wider and bigger.”
How many brothers and sisters do you have?
“I have one sister, two years older than I am. She’s getting married at the end of this year. I’m happy for her.”
What made you live in Vancouver by yourself?
“My dad wanted me to be independent. And I also wanted to be. For half a year, I stayed with my friends and then I lived by myself for more than six years. I was a student. I did everything by myself, including the laundry, cleaning the house, going to the grocery and doing the dishes — and paying all the bills.”
You took up Economics in college. Did you also want to put up your own business?
“If I did not become a model and an actor, I would have ended up in a financial institution, such as one dealing in stocks. Even now, I always read the business section when I get hold of a newspaper.”
You’ve been in Vancouver for seven years. Didn’t you experience any culture shock?
“Canada is a multi-cultural country. There are so many people from different countries — Japan, Korea, India, Philippines, etc....so many different races there. I’ve gotten to know so many people from different countries and I’ve learned how to respect their cultures and their traditions. I’ve learned how to adjust to any new culture and new environment.”
What are your hobbies?
(Joked Wu Chun, “Looking at the stocks. Hahahaha!”)
“Watching movies, going out with friends. Nothing much.”
How do you take care of your body?
“I don’t eat late. I learned from Chun what food is nutritious and what is junk food. He always tells me to eat and eat because he thinks I’m too skinny.”
(Wu Chun: “He was very skinny before. But now he’s okay. He also sometimes goes to the gym and that’s good.”)
Who’s your role model?
“My dad. He’s the vice president of a company. He takes good care of our family and that’s the most important thing. He gave me a good education, including sending me to Vancouver to be independent. He’s 58, getting old, and his heart is not so good so I worry about him. I can’t spend so much time with him. And when I do, I go out to dinner with him.”
What’s your ideal girl?
“Same with Chun’s — simple and a happy girl. The feeling is important. Somebody who can be a friend and a family to me. Somebody with the same values as I have and who can work together with me.”
Is nationality a factor?
“Not really. I had a Korean girlfriend before.”
(Wu Chun: “You want a Bruneian girlfriend? Hahahaha.”)
Do you want a Filipina girlfriend?
“Why not?”
You still have time to look for one before you fly back to Taipei tomorrow.
“Hahahahaha!”
Describe Wu Chun in three words.
“Mature. Responsible. Hard-working.”

calvin and chun's presscon interview
Fresh from Taiwan, Asian superstars Wu Chun and Calvin Chen immediately attended their series of guestings here in the Philippines. Their first stop was Entertainment Live where lots of Pinoy fans welcomed the dashing stars of the hit Taiwanese soap Romantic Princess, which is currently airing on ABS-CBN. Soon after that, they went to a strictly by-invitation press conference where the local media got to know them better.
Among all the Asian heartthrobs who came here in the past, Chun and Calvin were the ones who are most well-informed about Philippines. Indeed, they revealed that this is not their first visit in the country.“I know a lot. Because I run a health club in Brunei and almost 80% of my staff are from the Philippines. That's why I come here every now and then to interview (applicants). And I (have tried) mango ice cream and yema ice cream when I was like 6-years-old. Because there are a lot of Filipinos in Brunei, I get to eat the ice-cream,” said Chun, who was born and raised in Brunei.Calvin on the other hand was able to visit Philippines once for vacation. “I came here like 10 years ago with my family because I know there are so many places in the Philippines which are good for resorts and trips. One of my friends also came here just last week. And I remember when I was a kid the seafood here was pretty nice and very yummy!” he exclaimed.
When asked if they knew that they are very popular among the Filipinos, Calvin replied that they didn’t. In fact, they were quite worried that only a selected few would be waiting for their arrival. Chun further explained, “When we have activities in other countries, sometimes there are fans from the Philippines who write letters for us and say, ‘Hey, come to the Philippines! You have a lot of fans here.’ But we were not sure how many. And now that we’re here, were really happy to see that a lot of people are really supporting our drama. And we thank ABS-CBN and GTN for this opportunity.” To top it all, they also expressed their desire to work with Filipino actresses when given the chance. As for now though, they have a tight schedule due to their upcoming Asian tour with two of the other members of their boy band known as Fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit vs. F4
Since the mention of their group popped up, the press prodded them about being compared to F4 of the hit Taiwanese series MeteorGarden. Both Chun and Calvin refused to say who’s more popular between the two groups these days. Chun even claimed that F4 is “still big in Taiwan” and that both F4 and Fahrenheit have their fair share of supporters. As for being at par with F4, Chun’s opinion on the subject merely emphasized his down-to-earth personality.“I think we still have a lot of things to learn. We are just new. We’ve been in showbiz for just three years. And I think F4 has been in this business for seven years or so. (And besides), we can’t judge this by ourselves. But what's important is that in all our dramas and record albums, we do our very best and hope that we get good results.”
Sing or Act?
Like most actor-singers, Chen and Calvin enjoy the best of both worlds. But their sense of fulfillment doesn’t only stem from being able to do what they love to do but also from the priceless experience of meeting their avid fans. “I remember one day I talked to Chun and the other members of Fahrenheit and said, ‘Isn’t it weird that we have shook so many hands’. Like how many people can get this experience in their whole life. To be in this business is really a special experience for me. There is so much love from the fans wherever we go,” Calvin gushed.As for Chun’s part, “We love both. When we're singing on stage, we’re face to face with our audience, to all the fans. And you can get their support and love in a straight and direct way. And when we are being actors, the audience, they start to love you as the character you are acting. So I think (sense of fulfillment) is quite different.”
The Real Us
In Romantic Princess, Calvin is a happy-go-lucky flirt who never had a serious relationship while Chun is cast as the responsible type. Hence, Calvin quickly set the record straight about his personality off cam. “I have to say that I’m not a playboy in real life. I’m outgoing in real life but I’m not a playboy. I don’t fool around between girls. And when I found my true love I will be really serious,” he stressed. Chun on the other hand revealed that he shared lots of similarities with his character in the story. “In the drama, Jin worked very hard for his career and he's willing to leave his family and go on his own. And this kind of direction is what I’m doing right now.”
Still Single
With their drop-dead gorgeous looks, charming smile, and well-built frame, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Chun and Calvin are taken. But it seems that even in their late 20’s, it would be a long time before they get themselves a steady girlfriend. “No time to date. Our company would say, ‘You can have a girlfriend, we don’t mind.’ But you know, with our (hectic schedule), there's no time for us to have a girlfriend at all,” Chun laughingly shared.

"Hot Shot" challenges ratings; Jerry, Show & Chun will reveal upper body
“Hot Shot” is set out to compete with Taiwan’s highest rating drama “Fated to Love You”. CTV and GTV racked their brains to attract viewers; yesterday (June 17th) announced that if the rating of the first episode wins against “Fated to Love You”, the 3 main male leads Jerry Yan, Show Luo and Wu Zun will reveal their upper body. Upon hearing this, Show did not hesitate to say: “No problem!”
Yesterday, at the Shanghai Film Festival for his debut movie “Sword Butterfly”, Wu Zun, when told about this, thought very seriously before saying: “But I don’t think this is a big deal, because in the drama, I already will reveal my upper body.” Also in Shanghai, Jerry is currently filming his new drama “Stardust”. His manager expressed that they have not yet been informed this news but Jerry put a lot of effort into “Hot Shot” so evidently, he hopes the drama will do well.
Since both Chun and Jerry are in mainland China at the moment, it is up to Show to promote “Hot Shot” and attract viewers. Yesterday at 100% Entertainment, a 1-minute preview of “Hot Shot” was shown. Not only did Show promise to reveal his upper body if ratings win against “Fated to Love You”, he also shouted to viewers: “Summer is here! Mums, please hand the remote to your children; playing basketball is very rewarding, yet good exercise.”
Show also said, although “Fated to Love You” is gaining tremendously good ratings, he actually does not feel a lot of pressure. Plus, when he saw the 1-minute preview of “Hot Shot”, he feels it is very attracting, hence he has more confidence to promote it. He also honestly expressed that at first, he did think that “Hot Shot” should air after “Fated to Love You” has finished because after all, “Fated to Love You” already has such amazing ratings, hence the audience will most likely want to watch it till the end. However, he says this decision lies upon the broadcasting networks, so he can only do his best on his part.
Show also posted a photo of a very funny scene in the drama on his blog. In this scene, he has a make-over to look like Xu Zhi Mo, and is a romantic “imagination” scene with female lead Zhou Cai Shi. However, he says his new well-groomed fringe feels like a wig and is “so ugly”. At the time, the scene was filmed at a local university and the passer-bys could not even recognize Show. Show said he was initially going to fix a beard on too, but the director could not stand it and said to him: “If u fix a beard on, this drama will really turn into a comedy, just concentrate on acting well.”

charlene denies dating wu chun , says give gillian more time
It has been widely rumored that due to their recent film collaboration, Ah Sa and Wu Chun have become a real couple. Although Wu Chun is handsome and rich, Charlene denies being more than friends with him. After having filmed "The Butterfly Lovers" with Wu Chun, there have been rumors that the two have secretly been dating for three months.
Yesterday, Charlene, Joey Yung, and Raymond Lam dressed in equestrian clothing to attend a press conference at the Sha Tin Race Course. It was there that Charlene denied that she and Wu Chun are an item, stating: "We're only a couple in the virtual world [speaking about in "The Butterfly Lovers"]. To avoid any confusion, I will be clear in stating that he is just a friend!" She jokingly continued, "However, if these love rumors will help publicize the film, then I won't mind!"
Blushing Over Ronald
When asked about Ronald Cheng and the breakup rumors, Charlene, blushing, quickly said: "I won't say!" and blamed her blushing on the hot weather.
Give Gillian Time
In addition, Charlene talked about her good sister Gillian, stating that this time period has allowed Gillian to grow, and that it is a precious period of time for maturation. Charlene then said that everyone needs to give Gillian some time.
New Twins?
As for the rumors that Stephy Tang and Theresa Fu would form the "new Twins," Ah Sa said that the issue is too complicated and did not comment on it.

wu chun denies romancing with ah sa
The Chun-Angela romance has become history! Earlier Angela revealed publicy she was involved with "Mr Sky", Wu Zun yesterday was also reported in Hong Kong tabloids to have developed a relationship with Twin's Ah Sa while filming Jian Die, and it had already carried on for more than 3 months, however wu Zun after hearing that burst out laughing, "We only filmed together for about 2 months, where did this more-than-3-months relationship come from, it's too much!"
Hong Kong media reveal Wu Zun's rumours in Jian Die
According to Hong Kong reports, Ah Sa who had reportedly broken up with Ronald Cheng met the handsome and wealthy Wu Zun during this void in her love life. The two while filming Jian Die behaved lovingly on and off stage, Ah Sa even said before that Wu Zun gave her the feeling of first love; Wu Zun expressed with surprise, "How is it the movie hasn't even been screened, but the rumours have already started!"
Wu Zun said, he and Ah Sa only knew each other because of filming, initially to build up chemistry, the two would take the initiative to chat with each other, because they both love good food, during their free time in Shanghai, would often go in search of good food with another foodie, director Jingle Ma; he said jokingly, he had never seen a girl who could eat so much, when eating would automatically order a whole table of food, her good appetite was astonishing, heard that Ah Sa's fans would call her "Food God", "I'm also called Food God in Taiwan, but Ah Sa wouldn't lose to me!" The two even arranged that while promoting the movie, they would have a cooking contest, because Ah Sa boasted that she made a very good potato mash, Wu Zun was confident he wouldn't lose to her, they would get the director to be the judge.
Wu Zun laughingly "discards" Ah Sa, congratulates Angela's new romance
Even though jokingly criticising the groundless rumours, Wu Zun still generously praised Ah Sa that even though she was younger than him, she knew how to take care of people very well, while filming night scenes in low temperatures, she would cook pork rib soup for the crew to warm themselves, because she had filmed more movies than him, would also impart filming skills to him, helping him to familiarise himself with the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
As for previous rumoured girlfriend Angela Chang's new rumoured romance, Wu Zun said, the past two months he had been filming in China, was so distanced from the outside world that he didn't even know Angela was putting up her concert, much less know about the rumours, but if it was real, he would sincerely wish her well, because a good girl deserved to have someone taking good care of her.

*finally Chun denies the rumours... it's definitely illogical for HK media to conclude that he's been in a relationship with Ah Sa for 3 months already when they have only filmed together for about 2 months ..what can I say ..brilliant answer , Chun ..I would definitely looking forward to watch Butterfly Lovers and also wanna see who's gonna win the cooking competition between Chun and Ah Sa . ...it would be interesting to see them compete in cooking . huhu. As for Angela..me too wanna congratulate her if it's true that she has already find her Mr.Right . all the best .

wu chun will be coming here in philippines ! confirmed
My debut movie is about to wrap up soon… Such a nice crew along the way and of course, I can now feel that I will miss each and every filming moment with all these wonderful people! Filming this movie has been the happiest decision I have made and though I don't know what the outcome will be... like what I've always said, I did my best so what’s important to me is the experience that I encounter and the challenge… I met many nice people, 2 directors who are unbelievably thoughtful and hard working and most important of all, I find great satisfaction in my work as an actor because I am willing to learn and they are very willing to teach…Marvelous! Michael Jordan once said "You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them." Hey Michael, I am listening! Hahaha :-)
Having traveled to various cities in China for the past 2 months, it has given me different feelings and memories. I realized that in many places there are still people who are living a very simple life… Maybe they live their whole life without shopping or entertainment... but still... they do spend time with their family, growing fruits and veges and even selling a big basket of strawberries for only RMB5! Hey, what's wrong with that? Are you able to adapt to this kind of life? Yes or No? Well, when you think of it... that's the life they had ever since they were born into this world. I did approach few and had a short chat with them and they are happy with their life…that's all that matters, isn’t it? It really proves that happiness can be very simple. It's actually up to you if u wants to be happy or not… For me, life in showbiz is very complicated but I guess I am lucky that I am from Brunei and I have always and will try to live a simple life because I think being simple is the key to happiness…Try it ☺ Fight for your happiness like a WARRIOR!
Well, I have been busy focusing on filming my debut movie for the past 2 months and…Tonnnnns of activities coming up and can't wait to meet all of you! YEAH, good good good..hahaa!!!

Wu Chun is scared of chickens !!
It is amazing to believe that Wu Chun a very handsome man, is actually afraid of chickens. The most amusing is that while Chun was filming for a their movie with charlene in a little village , they encountered there chickens . After much persuasion from the media, Wu Chun suddenly became "girly", twisting his body and was reluctant to take a picture with the cow. The foreign localist also laughed and told him in English, "Go closer. It's just a chickens." , Charlene is laughing at him while saying before i thought that you like superman , haha ! LOL
