With a collection of South Korean, as well as the Chinese stars, the light-hearted love story of "Love Trilogy" will be in theaters on Feb. 5 nationwide, this film was directed by "scholar-director" Zhao Chungchi, w/ red, white, & blue to tell the stories of the love entanglements of three pairs of husband/wife, lovers while traveling. The movie's three separate stories are performed by different actors. Amongst them, most familiar w/ the young audience, are none other than sunlight/sunshine idol Lu Yi and "Princess Tziwei" Lin Hsinju, both actors once cooperated in TV series "Boy & Girl" as a pair of lovers, although in "Love Trilogy" both belong in different color sections, but cooperating once more, was still extremely happy. Both recently are busy with their respective work schedule, perhaps will not be able to attend the premier, reporter conducted phone interviews & by email separately w/ Lin Hsinju & Lu Yi, this pair of handsome scholar and beautiful woman have personal insights on life and love.
Lin Hsinju: An ordinary girl who loves to hangout in bookstores
Since "HZGG" made its critical junction w/ the audience, Lin Hsinju also had many opportunities to make movies, but none were able to surpass "HZGG," from an image standpoint, seems like her image quality of being gentle on the outside & strong on the inside has already been typecasted. This time, in "Love Trilogy," she plays a tourguide name Liu Hai, the tourguide for the three pair of lovers, also is their peacemaker, this is an image of a kind-hearted girl filled w/ fantasies, qiute similar to Lin Hsinju herself, she said, when she's not shooting movies, she's just an ordinary person, when have time will hangout/walk-around in bookstores. And in regards to the gains/losses of the entertainment circle, she said, what she gained was an enriched life, b/c each role has its own experiences, and losses, same as other actors -- loss of privacy/person spaces.
Thinks Lu Yi is very manly/masculine
Reporter: The cast of "Love Trilogy" was very special, got together actors from South Korean and China, was their a huge barrier when it came to cooperation?
Lin Hsinju: This was the first time I have cooperated with South Korean actors, we used simple English to communicate, didn't have any barriers, moreover Oh Ji Ho's(Wu Chihhao) personality was very open-minded & friendly like a little kid, he likes to joke around, on the set while waiting to shoot, we were very relaxed, we played around happily like we were old friends, moreover Yuan Yongyi, Lu Yi I have cooperated w/, everyone was very familiar w/ each other, therefore shooting this movie we were very happy. This was the first time Oh Ji Ho & Yin Yuli came to China to shoot, first time cooperating w/ Chinese actors, left w/ a good impression on China's beautiful sceneries, & Chinese actors.
Reporter: In "Boy & Girl" you & Lu Yi were lovers, although this time not a pair, seeing him again, did you feel that he's more manly/masculine than before?
Lin Hsinju: I had always thought of Lu Yi to be talented & handsome, he's always been very manly/masculine.
Reporter: "Love Trilogy" is a story about the relationships b/w different pairs of husband/wife and lovers, allowing people to think that each family has their own problems, in the movie you play a tourguide, simultaneously you're also a go-between to the couples, such a complex relationship, in real life, do you have any understandings of it?
Lin Hsinju: Some people said that "falling in love is easy, being together is difficult," I believe that on this relationship path, the man & woman must both mutually overcome the difficulties in order to continue down the road, & of course sometimes will need the help & adjustments from others on the side, to offer opinions or conciliate the stalemate, to create a flight of stairs so the lovers can come down from, is also a good deed, [I'm] very happy to be able to play in such a role in this movie, & in real life if my friends have problems in their relationships, I'm more than happy to be their listener, & to offer them some opinions.
Reporter: In this movie you play a tourguide Liu Hai, is a girl who's unsure about her looks & abilities, what are you like in real life? What type of books do you usually like to read?
Lin Hsinju: When I'm not working I'm like any other present-day ordinary girl, b/c day-offs are very few, if I have a vacation of five days or more, I would travel abroad, to take this opportunity to relax. I love to read, will read any kind of books. When I return to Taiwan, if have free time, I like to go to "Cheng Pin," "Jin Shi Tang" (Taiwan's famous bookstores.) I have obtained many beneficial knowledge from books.
Reporter: After "HZGG," your film works are not as much, & Zhao Wei's movies are many, have you considered shooting more films?
Lin Hsinju: Rather it be a TV series or movie, as long as the script is good, I'm willing to do it. There are a lot of film solicitations/invitations, but I've been seeking/looking continuously for scripts and roles that I like.
Reporter: Perhaps I have not pay too much attention on your works, I feel that your roles are repetitive>
, always those delicate & gentle on the outside, but actually a strong girl inside, why not attempt to change?
Lin Hsinju: I've been continuously attempting different roles, I think even playing the "delicate & gentle on the outside, but actually a strong girl inside," roles, due to the different contents of the story, can still have different ways of performing them!
Gained an enriched life loss of privacy
Reporter: Is being an actor very passive? Have no control, to completely decide one's roles, if you yourself can choose and decide, what role(s) do you want to play in at the present moment?
Lin Hsinju: There are some roles for which I have not attempted, therefore I really want challenging roles, a breakthrough kind of role. But the most important thing is the topic of the script, I will not limit myself to the type of roles in which I want to perform in, the success of a movie/series is a result of a creation from the entire production team.
Reporter: What is your next work? In thinking back to all your roles, which one do you like the most, & why?
Lin Hsinju: The one I'm currently working on is a modern series "Zi Teng Lian," w/ South Korean actor Han Jae Suk, will probably be shown this year summer. I think that after finishing one project, will feel that perhaps repeating the role again will have a different way of performing it, will perform it better! It's very difficult to say which one I like the most.
Reporter: I remembered Zhang Paichih once said very frankly this circle has many unhappy situations, but this occupation also has given her this extravagant lifestyle, you being in this circle all these years, have been to the top, also have been bogged by rumors, thinking back, what are your gains/losses?
Lin Hsinju: For me, what I've gained is perhaps this splendid life! Because every time I do a series/movie it's like I've experienced that person's life, have had the taste of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness in those few short months, each one of the experiences were all very special. Same as other actors, what I've loss is my privacy. (Newspaper Reporter Long Yingch'un)
