Chinpang: I originally worked for
a television station in Hong Kong, after my graduation, I suddenly ran into a person at a karaoke plaza and he helped me. I appeared in many concerts after that day.
He helped me record songs. I then decided to study to be an actor, and
movies making. I will always try harder.

Chinpang: a quite mature role, very
amusing. This one has 25 volumes (episode).

Director: I have heard that you
took 3 years to learn martial art. You were serious about it too.
Chinpang: I have to work a lot,
travel, so I could not go to class daily. However, in the new series with Patrick
Tam, in order to stay in shape, I exercise every day. Therefore I very fit right

the new food show, the vegetable food show.
Director: I’m also a director
for food shows and I specially envy those who are making the diet programs and helping people eat healthier.
Director: no wonder some people
said that you have gain some weight recently.
Chinpang: yes, in 2006.
Director: what else would
you like your audiences to know about yourself? We all know that you are extremely
into making movies, promoting series, television shows and you will return to Hong Kong soon.
How did you do it?
Chinpang: I’ll be back to
Hong Kong for only 2 months, then I travel to Shanghai for a soap opera show, then to Beijing, Beijing has good foods to eat,
all you can eat. Then later I’ll be back to Hong Kong for a short period
to time. Afterward, in March, I’ll have a show in Hong Kong. I work for this big company…
Director: before, I saw your blond hair when
you were doing modeling, this time, you went from long blond hair to short.
PART III IS COMING SOON!
Chinpang: my hair just grows
really slowly. Do not want to shave again; I was bald for a while, especially
in 2006.
Director: were you at the entertainment
show in March?
Chinpang: I wanted to join
that idol show, but they told me I am not an idol, I think I’m very solid with singing skill and have strength on soap
opera. I’m currently watching the local soap opera in HongKong.
Director: do you like any historical
drama?
Chinpang: I like China’s
historical drama. But now most people are focusing on popular love or family
dramas.
Director: or ancient drama.
Chinpang: ancient series are almost
out of date now, most Hong Kong audiences are welcoming comedy and family soap opera.
Director: true, especially Hong
Kong people are so busy now a day. They work so hard so they are too busy for
those long draggy dramas. Who are your idols; do you compare yourself with them?
Chinpang: I like actors who are
mature, about 40 to 50 years old, for example, Pan Hong is very solid with her acting skills. She
is a perfectionist. She handle matters really well, her manner is extremely good. I like her style.
Director: so far, which mainland
actors do you cooperate with?
Chinpang: Tian Hairong is a very
well educated person, very good.
Director: We also know that other
Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, for instance: Alex Su You Peng participating in mainland series, what do you think? Is it because of your contract, you can only film in Hong Kong?
Chinpang: If I film in mainland,
I have to worry about the: “peace treaty terms”. Again, I might have
to learn how to blend in with the mainland people and study about their culture, very different.
Director: so far, you went
to many places to film for the Hong Kong industry.
Chinpang: I traveled from south
so north.
Director: what is the feeling while
filming there?
Chinpang: I must learn how to speak
the national language.
Director: but no need when they
can dub.
Chinpang: dubbing lower the qualities
and the effect of a series, especially modern drama.
Director: I feel that you are a
very good actor, extremely good. A new idol for yong generation, especially for
the oversea fans. I saw other fans while I was scanning the net. A couple days ago, other internet fans asking about chinpang’s song.
Can you tell us more about your new album, what is so special about this new edition?
Chipang: in 2004, Ye Shirong discussed
with me about publishing an album. But during that time, I was filming a show
and was quite busy. So there fore, in 2004 and 2005 all I did was filming shows. Hopefully when my time comes I will release
my own album and I can learn to sing in mandarin.
Director: Ye Shirong did gave you
an opportunity in 2003 and in 2004, you gave that away.
Chinpang: actually I did not gave
it up. I as a singer before and I knew that it is no a simple matter. A singer need his own style and when that style is out of date, audiences leave you.
Director: I discover that chinpang
is such an earnest person, you do not like people such as Zhao Wei or Zhou Xun, but you like Pan Hong’s personality.
Chinpang: all actors must work hard, very busy;
I have to film soap opera all the time. I visit here and there, so I don’t
have a chance to make any impression with others. Therefore, I would not say
that I don’t like them, just that I have not meet them in person. But if
I have an opportunity to meet other actors and actresses, I might befriend with them too.
Sitting here and talking with you, I know more about you; I discover that you are a new and good friend. I think that you have to have a small conversation with other people to know them, then you can conclude
if you like them or not. All I know is that Zhao Wei does handle her matters
very attentively.
