"Easy Fortune Happy Life" filming ends, Joe Chen and Roy Chiu flies to China

Roy Chiu (left) did not win Joe Chen in the series, but it might not be so in real life.

"Easy Fortune Happy Life" is ending its run but it seems unlikely that the relationship between Roy Chiu and Joe Chen will end with the series. Filming for the series ended yesterday and Roy Chiu is heading for Hengdian today for the filming of Mainland series "Strange Tales Of Liao Zhai 3". Following that, Joe Chen will go to Shanghai or Chong Qing to film a mainland series "Jia Qi Ru Meng".

"Autumn's Concerto", starring Ady An and Vanness Wu, will start airing on 4th October and "Easy Fortune Happy Life" has already ended filming. Following the typical story ending, female lead Joe Chen ended up with Blue Lan. As for Roy Chiu, who has always been there for her by her side, although he lost in the series, he won the lady's heart outside the series.

However, Joe Chan once said that she was the kind of person who will have to think through long and hard regardless of it being a (decision to) get together or break up. It took her n times to truly break up with her caucasian boyfriend Michael. Although she quite get along quite well with Roy Chiu, there was still a lot of tests to overcome. Previously, there was a scene in "Easy Fortune Happy Life" where ROy Chiu had to piggyback Joe Chen, who was blabbering under the influence of alcohol. She was talking and crying at the same time. Roy Chiu hooked her lefs to prevent her from slipping downwards and hurting herself. In the end, there was a red mark on his neck (from the pressure of her arms) and he nearly couldn't breathe.

Joe Chen kept apologising, "My hand just kept pressing at his neck, I'm really sorry." Roy Chiu, who carried the heavy chested girl, didn't feel that it was heavy at all. Instead, he said, "She is actually quite light." Today, he will depart for Hengdian to film "Strange Tales Of Liao Zhai 3". What's coincidental is that his ex-girlfriend Rainie Yang has also acted in a chapter of "Strange Tales Of Liao Zhai 1".

Relationship rumours about Joe Chen circulate; Ming Dao: 'Isn't the male lead Blue Lan?'

Ming Dao has been filming in Mainland China for some time, unaware that good friend Joe Chen had broken up with her foreigner boyfriend. Yesterday he returned to Taiwan to promote his new drama "Happy & Love Forever" 幸福一定強 and when he heard that Joe Chen's new relationship rumours were with Roy Chiu, he had an expression of shock, "Isn't she filming with Blue Lan though? This change is too fast!"

Ming Dao has achieved a lot in China; his earnings have already risen to $90,000 RMB per episode (almost $40,000 TWD). Although he earns the most among the cast members, he has been paired with newcomers in his several dramas and almost every scene relies on his "teaching". When he was filming "Happy & Love Forever", it was previously reported that he claimed teaching newcomers was very tiring, asking producer Luo Fa Ping, "Next drama, look for a #1 (experienced) girl and I'll be willing to act for a lower price."

He is most satisfied with his collaboration with Joe Chen but having not returned to Taiwan for a long time, he wasn't even aware that Joe Chen had broken up with her boyfriend. Yesterday as soon as he heard about the recent situation of the relationship, he looked very surprised, "No way! They were together for so long!" He expressed that travelling all around China, he just didn't have the time to contact his good friend. Then hearing about Joe Chen and Roy Chiu being ambiguous towards each other, he almost didn't drop his jaw, "Isn't the drama's male lead Blue Lan?"

Currently Ming Dao is everywhere in China, as long as his name is on it, even before the drama starts filming, its copyright can be sold. Like "Happy & Love Forever" had a broadcasting channel before a production crew was found and filming could begin, working backwards. Yesterday Ming Dao revealed that it is scheduled to broadcast in April next year. The drama's spokesperson Chen Yan Ping revealed that originally when Ming Dao was cast for "Happy & Love Forever", there were concerns of people's popularity, that relationship rumours would circulate but in the end, no such thing happened. Ming Dao is never late and never leaves early, he's even willing to teach the newcomers how to act.

Ming Dao also said, "Who said I would try to pick up the female lead in every drama, the rumours aren't true, I haven't done that to Annie Chen!" This made Director Yang Guan Yu argue back, "That's because Annie is too young so you can't." The director praised Ming Dao's acting, "Previously I always thought he couldn't act. I apologise to him for them, his acting really surprised me."

Joe Chen releases new book & reveals something interesting; previously loved Ethan Ruan?

Joe Chen’s new book 'Joe Sees Paris' reveals another interesting ambiguous story. In the article titled 'Good Person', she writes: "Truly know that 2 hearts were once closely relied on, only we have tried, but it seems it won’t work out, I think that we are all good people, only fated to be friends."

Coincidentally, the time when this book was written, was when Joe had just finished filming 'Fated To Love You'. And she had sparked many rumours with male lead Ethan Ruan. Yesterday, at the press conference for her new book, Joe immediately denied, she is most afraid of the media pigeon-holing: "That’s my own fantasy after watching a film la." Her manager also shook her head saying: "She and Ethan have no chemistry whatsoever."

Currently, Joe is collaborating with Blue Lan in SETTV drama 'Easy Fortune, Happy Life.' However, she has never tried to hide her differences with Blue; his jokes never make her laugh. There was once when the 2 had an intimate scene, and Blue wanted to melt the awkwardness so he suddenly said: "You have sleep in your eyes." So Joe immediately turned around to find a mirror, asking him: "Which eye?” But Blue replied: "Just kidding." Hence, Joe really does not understand Blue’s sense of humour.

Earlier, Joe went on 'Kang Xi Lai Le' and host Xiao S asked her who is better, Ethan or Blue? Joe replied straightforwardly: "Ethan's good wins over Blue, he is a pistachio; just looking at him will make me happy."

Joe’s new book has already sold 50,000 copies through pre-order. Yesterday, 'Jungiery' boss Sun De Rong expressed: "8 years ago when Joe starred in ‘Lavender’, she was still a newbie, her achievement now depends entirely on her own effort, I will give her a LV bag, with no ceiling price."

In real life the two have experienced similar paths: At the age of 25 experiencing career, changes of relationship, has created the change to become an idol drama’s leading male and female. Changes are often people’s most exciting time, because it means the next step is to go beyond.

[My Self] is the answer for happiness – Joe Chen Qiao En
Joe Chen Qiao En said, 25 years old is a woman’s time to divide or distinguish your life’s needs and things you didn’t will gradually clear up. “In the past would even want to hope a person could tightly hold the hands through life, and now career is the most everything to me.” Joe said in many words, such as love to her is really not that important. Again confirming with her, would that really be more relaxing? She said: “I say if work is good, life would have a good woman. If your work is really good, then your happiness doesn’t have to be given by others.”

[I am really not interested in human beings.] Even though Joe Chen can be cheerful/open, as if anyone can be friends with her, but she does not hide the fact that she does not like talking, she said: "The habits of human beings will always show the best side in front of you, but I do not like it that way." After 25 years old, talking about "humans” are to stay out of her mind, in hear heart retains a corner feeling, and people do not have to always talk, but rather watching movies, reading books, playing with cat, act well, is a way to enjoy ones own happy running small universe.

[He] is a gift of another time – Blue Lan Zheng Long
Blue Lan is often few words spoken in most TV dramas, and besides acting with few signs of emotions. The perfect facial features and proportioned body is easily known as a “handsome guy”, or “Big S’s Ex-Bf” was brought up once again. Other than that? Actually, with his works in drama, you’ll notice since earlier year’s “Big Hospital Little Doctor” to today’s “Policeman”; his acting is gradually maturing, and has improved greatly! In his mind he has a clock, can’t hear any sound, but the needle is moving slowly, once it reaches the right position, then he’ll do what has to be done.

New drama “Easy Fortune Happy Life (Fu Qi You An Kang)” is his big challenge, the character he plays in the drama is a utilitarian-oriented “meat eating man”, but in reality, his lifestyle is as plain as ever, not a bit heavy. Not only does he understands reading Buddhism, regularly rides bike, and has been a vegetarian for a few years. Speaking of environmentally green, he also started to speak more than usual: “Do you know how much more pollution is generated from eating a cow vs being a vegetarian? To be environmentally friendly, he also went to Mongolia to participate in tree planting activities to save desertification. He said his lifestyle is indeed very low, with the exception of smoking, probably not another thing that’s not done yet: "If I quit smoking, I probably would become monk!"

Blue says seriously: “I’m similar to the character in the drama, also wanting to control his own life’s direction, also want to become wealthy. But I wouldn’t be like him to sacrifice others. I tend to prefer to have everyone work together!” His manager says, at one time he was stabbed in the back by a friend and told of his sad feelings, after Blue finished hearing it, said only: “No worries, you still have us!” Even though his words were not a lot, but it was very warm, showing his thoughtfulness to his friends around him.
