Yesterday afternoon (July 23), along with the director’s “cut” word, Ella finished filming the last outdoor scene of the the young idol drama series <Jiu Xiang Lai Zhe Ni>, (Down with Love) in Hang Zhou. The series’ main actor, Jerry Yan, finished filming his scenes one day before, thus “leaving Ella alone”, and had gone back to Taiwan earlier. Yesterday’s scenes focused on Yang Guo (played by Ella) and Qi Ke Zhong’s mother. Because the filming took place in Hang Zhou Tower, the reporter thought that they could interview Ella. But once they arrived there, they’ve been told that: they couldn’t take pictures, nor interview; the reason: to make sure that the actors wouldn’t be disturbed. Even the onlooker fans were also courteously warned by the filming crew not to take pictures. Once there were too many onlookers, Ella’s older sister and manager helped to control the crowd, using the “one on one” method urgently in keeping a close eye on them. The reporter noticed that the director repeatedly filmed the same scene in different angles, even the simple gesture of bowing one’s head and other tiny expressions were not taken lightly by him. Thus, as Qi’s mother was shedding tears while reciting the scripts, Ella who sat opposite her had to use her experience while working in a pet shop to comfort her, “Actually dogs are similar to humans, they all need love and care, if we treat them in a way that they don’t like it, they will be distressed, and you will also feel tired.” Just an ordinary sentence of comfort, but there was a silence right away between Qi’s mother and the other crew members on the spot. In reality, when people are getting along with one other, don’t they have to understand and tolerate each other? Ella’s feminine look yesterday when meeting with the press was different than usual. She wore a yellow top with a pair of capri jeans. Before the filming started, Ella, who felt bored because she had nothing to do, went into a counter just at the opposite when the crew was not paying attention. After she went in for quite some time, an NT$1,690 black and white check bikini caught her attention, and she asked for the clerk because she wanted to try it on. When the crew was looking for her, Ella, who tried on the bikini was asking everyone non-stop: “Is it good? Is it good?” The shop clerk couldn’t help but laughing, and he/she frankly expressed that Ella was very modest and unassuming, she didn’t have the airs of those of a celebrity. Be it making an exaggerated expression and action while acting, or adjusting the atmosphere while it’s break time, all can be done effortlessly by Ella. Ella sings well, and when she’s having her break time, she took the opportunity to hum songs, and then she would turn her head and asked everyone around her: “Do you know this song?” Once she heard the right answer, she would look surprised and remark spontaneously: “Oh, you know it!”, thus making the entire crew crack up.
