Taiwan actor and actress Ethan Ruan and Joe Chen arrives for promotion; Praises Malaysia Media -----Note: I merged the articles, putting related information together. Similiar stuff were not translated------ "Fated to Love You" cast Ethan and Qiao En arrives in Malaysia for the first time and facing the "kind" malaysia media, Qiao En praises them for being very friendly and unlike Hong Kong media, they didn't keep asking them about whether they're dating. Chen Qiao En "bring fame" to male partners and the media termed her as "bring fame to male partner". She feels that she indeed bring fame to male partners and happily joked that "If any guy want to be famous, come and act with me." Ethan who was beside her jokingly added that he has already booked her next two dramas. Ethan is grateful to Qiao En with her "bring fame to male partner" abilities, helping him to shoot to fame with "Fated to Love You"! And as one of the male partners that benefited, has Ethan given Qiao En a present to show his thanks? Ethan expressed no and smiled at Qiao En, saying that as long as the thought is there, it's more than anything else. The two of them both have someone else and describe their relationship as brotherly. Chen Qiao En boldly declared "I'm the elder brother!" and Ethan puzzledly asked her "Why are you the elder brother?" In the end, Qiao En answered naturally "Because I'm older than you!" causing everyone to burst out into laughter. The two of them have a more brotherly type of relationship and as brothers, they created a legend. Taiwan media reported that Chen Qiao En no longer wants to film idol drama and she explained that she wants to try out dramas or movies focused on different time periods and background. She wants to try out different character and break out of the usual idol drama scenerios. As long as it's a different character, she will attempt them. Both of them hope to act together again but with a different kind of character so that the audience will feel some freshness. Qiao En agrees that this year is a fruitful year for her. "When the drama was airing in May, we were facing a lot of pressures as the other channels' dramas had groupings that people were more familiar with so we were really nervous. I'm very happy that this drama could do so well, giving us the chance to go Hong Kong and Malaysia for promotion." They will be going to China and Japan for promotion in the future too. As for Ethan, he said "For me, this year is very exciting. Thank you everyone for giving me a chance, leeting the audience notice me." He said that in the future, he will be developing along the acting field still and it includes both dramas and movies. Although Ethan and Qiao En emphasised that the two of them will not date, but at the fans autograph session, the two of them publically flirt with each other and whispered to each other's ears, letting the fans see their lovey-dovey acts. When the fans were on stage imitating the male and female character's actions in the drama, one of the scene was of Qiao En wearing the chicken costume and the host accidentally said it to be "Chen Qiao En's Ji Ji (Ji in chinese means chicken. But when it's said twice, it refers to penis)." Qiao En innocently answered that "I don't have a Ji Ji, it's the chicken that I acted!", causing great laughter. She then started whispering and laughing with Ethan before declaring that "Ethan said that he feels like saying he has (a Ji Ji/penis)" which made Ethan shocked and he immediately hit her. At the fans session held at The Summit Batu Pahat, the host requested for the two to sign their name on the huge banner there and the two didn't forget to fool around either. Qiao En asked Ethan if he wanted to sign on her face and Ethan expressed that "I feel like drawing a mole on your face" and Qiao En countered with "Then I shall draw a moustache for you." Although the two of them fought over it, in the end, they still obediently signed their name in a blank space available on the banner. When playing another game, the host explained the game rules to the two of them and Ethan seemed to be still confused. "Elder brother" Qiao En helpfully explained it to him again but while speaking, she started to realised that something seemed wrong and loudly questioned "She spoke in chinese just now too, why must I translate it for you?" Ethan smilingly expressed that "There's people around! Be nicer." which got everyone bursting out laughing again. When playing the game and Ethan was losing, he shamelessly said that "It's not fair. I'm taller" (Referring to the fact that he has to squat to pick up the post-its on the floor and is thus at a disadvantage) When talking about the unforgettable experiences of filming, Qiao En also revealed that Ethan loved bullying her when filming. He changed her name to Chen Qiao Zhu (pig) and when everyone's not around, he will trick her to go to his side and then fart and use his hand to "catch" it and "throw" it at her. Ethan quickly explained that "It's not true." but Qiao En continued to emphasise that "He loves to fart at me!" Ethan said that his unforgettable experience was when filming a scene of him falling into the water. The two who act as "Chen Xin Yi" and "Anson" kept criticising that his leap into the sea wasn't good enough and the action was only worth 6 points, asking if he will do it again. He could only angrily reply "Please, it's very cold!" As Qiao En will be going to China soon and won't be able to collaborate with Ethan on his new drama, it has been rumored that Bianca Bai will be stepping up to be the female lead and Ethan will continue to use his body to promote but the manager hurriedly stepped in to answer that "Everything is still unconfirmed. The script and female leads are still being discussed." Sources: chinapress, nanyang, kwongwah Translation by minivicki@asianfanatics.net
