What are your 'feels' going into this fan fiction filming project?

To be honest, I'm a little scared. It's like running into uncharted terrain with eyes closed. I have no clue what to expect. I'll be working with a foreign crew and flying all over the world. I mean, this is a great opportunity to learn and grow both as an entertainer and as a person. I would be a fool to pass up on this project, plus the Boss and his wife have made generous donations to the many charities I work with. Isn't that awesome? Oh, did I mention my co-star is Wang Xinling? (laughs) I had absolutely no clue who she was before this. So, I did a little research. She's a Taiwanese singer and actress who's been in the entertainment industry as long as I have. Like wow, same number of years. So, I'm a little nervous. There will definitely be a language barrier. And, since we're filming multiple fan fictions, I really hope we'll be able to break down that wall and work well together... you know... to make this project a success. It will probably take me some time to warm up to everyone, but I will definitely put forth the effort to make it happen.

Was there a foreign actress you wished to work with before your co-star was announced?

Yes, actually. It's my boy dream to work with the goddess Li Bingbing. She is such a worthy role model. She strives to make a difference and I admire that... a lot.

I heard rumors that the Boss is in the process of inviting her to join the cast. If she accepts, she'll pick up the role of Miss Li, Goddess of Love in "Cupid's Mom Said So."

What? Wow, I'm so excited. I really didn't know before this. Haven't gotten to "Cupid's Mom" script yet. I'm still looking over "My Little Taiwanese Wife" script since we'll be filming scenes from that and "Metal Heart" first.

Can you tell us anything about your filming schedule? You had a private conference and short script reading a week ago, correct?

Yes, it was sometime last week. Am I allowed to discuss the schedule? Probably, right? (laughs) Hmm... actually, I just received the filming schedule yesterday morning so it's still new to me. So... like I said before, we're starting with "MLTW." We'll be staying in South Korea for a couple of days then everyone's off to Dubai. Have you been there? There's some real sleek architecture and I'm guessing that's the reason why we're going. After that, I'm not really sure. Don't really have the schedule right in front of me so... maybe next time, I'll fill you in some more.

Sounds good. So, how about your music?

Hmm? What about my music? Oh, it's still going on. After this project, I'll probably take a short break before jumping into my second album. I hope to incorporate these new experiences into my music. So, please wait for it and thank you for all your support.

To make it fair, we'll be asking your co-star, Wang Xinling, the same set of questions. Are you curious of her answers?

A little? Especially who she'd rather work with...

And what if she says it's you?

Yikes... the expectations... the pressure to deliver. I'm kind of hoping she doesn't say it's me. (laughs) She seems like a nice person. I wouldn't want to disappoint.
