A Mismatched Bickering Couple: Ella from [Bad Girls]; Mike He is Game to Take Her On!

With filming to commence in summer this year, [Bad Girls] – a youthful action romance comedy, directed by up and coming director Weng Jing Ting, has confirmed Mike He and Ella Chen Jia Hua as its male and female leads. Despite being their first onscreen collaboration, the 2 artistes shared good tacit understanding and chemistry as they are from the same company. The “senior” Ella, even pretended to bully Mike by pinching his cheek and saying, “I will ‘take good care’ of my junior.”

Looking Forward to Great Chemistry
About to begin their debut partnership in summer, Mike He and Ella Chen, have taken on the male and female lead roles for up and coming director, Weng Jing Ting’s youthful action romance comedy – [Bad Girls]. Although this is their first onscreen collaboration and experience in an action movie, both artistes have long shared great tacit understanding as they are from the same company. Being the “senior”, Ella purposely put on a show to bully Mike He, saying, “Junior, I will take good care of you!” Meanwhile “junior” Mike is ready to return a teasing act by pretending to worry that his upcoming intimate acting scenes with Ella would incur the jealousy of “someone out there”. Mike also added in a “grave” tone that he would exercise caution to not allow the “storyline to happen in real life” by accident. Then Mike went on to tease Ella further by reminding her to be both physically and emotionally prepared for what is to come to prevent apprehensions and barriers during filming. Hearing his words, Ella burst out laughing and pretended to acknowledge the “ good advice”. This bold yet funny exchange between the 2 artistes has already paved the way for everyone to eagerly look forward to their great chemistry even before filming starts.

A Story Beyond Another Story
In the movie, Ella plays A-Dan, a high school girl, together with Da Yuan’s role as Pei Pei and Fang Zhi You’s role as Xiao Mi; the trio formed a group known as “Huai Nu Hai aka Bad Girls” to undertake chivalrous acts and stand up against bullies. The storyline has it that the trio’s school was used as a filming site, and one day A-Dan (Ella) accidentally chanced upon the filming and by a twist of fate, ended up as the female lead of the film. With the opportunity, she also got to discover a side to the popular idol, Justin (played by Mike He), which others do not know. Hence the 2 very mismatched individuals embarked on a journey to develop a story of their own, beyond that of the “film”.

 

Forgotten: The Desires Deep in My Heart
In the movie, Justin (Mike) is an introvert. Mike shared, “Justin is one who is often suppressing his feelings and tend to hide all his thoughts and emotions deep down.” As for “bad girl” A-Dan (Ella), Ella joked, “She is not bad, literally. A-Dan is an innocent, kind-hearted, adorable and simple girl. Like myself, A-Dan is one who has a strong sense of righteousness.” In addition, Mike is not only a popular idol in the movie, but also a great baker. Hence the production team specially invited a renowned international champion chef baker from Taiwan to be a consultant for Mike’s role in the movie. Not knowing how to bake prior to this, Mike seized the chance to pick up baking skills from the chef, with the dual benefits of not only putting up a convincing act for his role, but also to bake world-class bread to satisfy his own taste buds.

Having Sufficient Time to Understand the Role
Since he rose to fame from acting, Mike has been busy filming for idol serials and movies from Hong Kong and China. This year, with the arrangement to take on a role in a Taiwan movie, Mike expressed his joy, “Because of many factors and time constraints, I have not been able to participate in Taiwan movies, so I am looking forward to this collaboration. While filming movies in China and Hong Kong, I was under a lot of time constraint. This time I had more time to study the storyline and prepare myself to better understand the role. We also had the opportunity to rehearse through the script with fellow artistes, hence I believe that this will definitely help when filming begins!”

Mike He and Cyndi Wang Exotic Bed Scene, Director Taught Well

Cyndi Wang and Mike He had exotic bed scenes in idol drama "Love Keeps Going". This made Xiaomei self-mock that this drama had "three many": many lines, many kissing scenes, and many revealings (of his body). However, their good acting skills made the people at the side tease that there must be true love, causing the two who were bothered by the scandal to push to the director, laughing that it was because the director had taught them well!

The director also made Xiaomei reveal his butt. Eli Si laughed that Xiaomei had a better figure, so why not just let him show it! Cyndi Wang previously filmed an MV with Show Luo. Xiaomei teased that they were collaborating on the album, so Cyndi Wang replied saying “Our bed scene is powerful enough!” Xiaomei immediately cleared that their collaboration was on the mental scale!

Xiaomei also sang a song in this drama; however, he laughed that he had not trained adequately and thus was unwilling to sing live. He said that if the ratings were to break 2 points he would sing, but then changed his mind to 26 points afterward! Cyndi Wang praised that Xiaomei was very serious and also encouraged Xiaomei that singing could be practiced! When asked whether the two of them had a chance of collaborating in Cyndi Wang’s next album, Xiaomei immediately jumped in to say that his work was very busy; he only sang this time because of the character. He laughed and said that hopefully he did not scare anyone with his singing. He also pulled his good friend Joe Zheng into the waters. He laughed “If Xiaozong can sing and dance, I can follow his steps”. This made it seem like he had confidence with his singing, however, he avoided it when he was asked to sing live.

Calling For Love/Calling Big Star

I never finish any of Mike He’s dramas before until now.  Every time I started watching his drama I got bored after watching a few episodes.  Well, maybe I don’t like his character in his previous dramas so even though how attractive he is I skipped watching any of his dramas.

This drama tickled my curiosity so I decided to watch it and it was good.  Actually, seeing Mike He on screen is already good. J  Such a yummy guy! Hihihi…. He was very good in portraying his character here as a big star celebrity.  Sometimes I think maybe he’s experiencing the same thing in real life.  Well, it was just a thought…. I actually feel him in this drama.  I feel sad whenever he’s sad, I feel happy whenever he is.  Oh, I think I caught Bo Ye’s poison.  Hehehe… It’s just a little bit frustrating for the female lead, Charlene Choi.  On the first episode, I thought she looked ok to be paired-up with Mike He.  She’s cute, she has this innocent face that matched her character but there are some scenes that she’s a little bit stiff and expression less.  I’m not sure if that’s really what her character in the drama is.  Or maybe I’m just used to Korean dramas with exaggerated and funny expressions.  Hehehe…

There are a lot of funny scenes especially with Bo Ye’s (Mike He) manager and childhood friend which made the drama a lot better.  There’s also a lot of kissing… J My favorite kissing scene between Mike He and Charlene Choi was when Mike He was exercising.  He asked Charlene Choi to help him hold his legs while he’s doing his sit-ups and every time his sit-up he kissed Charlene Choi.  Oh, it was indeed very cute and from what I’ve seen Mike He is a hot kisser.  Hehehehe… 

If you’re a fan of Mike He I’m sure you have seen this drama and for those who haven’t give it a try.
