HI DEAR ALL:
It has been a very, very long time since I came online to chat with
everyone about how things are going lately. How is everybody doing lately?
I miss you all a lot!
While I finally have time now that all my work is finished, can short of
finally have my own time to calm down and say what's on mind with
everybody!
From the end of March filming "PLS" to the just wrapped "Sound of Colors"
it has already been half a year, so fast, this past six months were spent
on working!
Actually, I originally didn't want to do things so tightly. It was just
that March to September was the only period available where everyone can
coordinate the time, and I really like these two scripts. Therefore broke
from my principle on getting rest in between shooting one series to
another, continuously doing two series. Also the most important reason was
last year's study aboard has let me to fully relax, truely get some rest!
It let me no longer feel tired, again embarking on a full set of energy.
It has allowed me to regain the enthusiasm for work. On the other hand I
also wanted to truly use what I have learned in New York a little sooner!
The role of a pianist in PLS is a new attempt for me, had to play the
piano and sing. Actually I don't have any musical foundation, but I love
to learn new things for a role. Because normally when it comes to my
enthusiasm for learning new things, it's mostly doesn't last too long. But
when there's real pressure to do something, I have to force myself to do
it, to give 110%. This time playing the piano is also true. If I didn't
give myself tremendous pressure, I wouldn't put so much effort into
learning. But I'm also very happy I have achieved it! The role of a blind
girl in Sound of Colors, although it's not the first time playing a blind
person for me, but this was actually the most complete and also put the
most effort into it. Even after work sometimes cannot help myself and lose
my focal point/eye contact with things, not just during filming. During
the entire series I hardly exchanged looks using the eyes with anyone,
continuously being "blind." But this was really a very special experience.
The truth is, at the start it was really awkward for me, perhaps I still
haven't found the feeling, or perhaps I wasn't fully concentrating. Often
when everybody is staring at me when I'm performing/acting, I would feel
especially uncomfortable, always feel so pretentious, want to clear the
set. Of course that would be impossible, so can only work hard in
overcoming it. But after 1-2 days, I found that feeling. Whether it's
controlling the look of the eyes or body language, I was much more
relaxed, also it was much easier to concentrate! I profoundly experienced
the hardships and inconveniences face by blind people. Therefore, when we
have the opportunity we really must show more concern towards those who
need our help in society, do more good deeds. I believe as kindly as Ruby
fans are, you would all certainly do your best in participating in
charitable work, am I right!
Also this time shooting in Hangzhou and Nanjing, I met a lot of members
from Loveruby. You guys are just too adorable. The first thing that came
out of your mouths was "Hsinju, I'm from Loveruby." All of you know that I
cannot resist anyone who has anything to do w/ Ruby sites, right? Therfore,
all of you would first reveal this to gold card ~ really!
But I'm really very happy to see all of you. You guys are so adorable and
so caring, knowing that I'm busy or perhaps working on my moods and did
not come over to disturb me, only silently supporting me from a distance.
Thanks to Hangzhou Ruby fans, that Hangzhou travel booklet you gave me has
allowed me to understanding Hangzhou fully. And also the dim sum from "Zhi
Wei Guan" restaurant and the fruits, the dragon beard candy was very well
received, making an ordinary boxed lunch box to have a different kind of
flavor!
Also Nanjing Ruby fans. I know that a lot of you don't live in Nanjing,
came over from elsewhere. But those three days of watching you work as
extras, moreover on the last day you guys also helped out in maintaining
order at the scene, I was really very touched. You again and again
demonstrated that Ruby fans are very well-behaved and
sensible/understanding. In brief I have gotten a lot in return this time.
All the unhappy things disappeared from my mind quickly!
I'm presently in Hong Kong. I participated in an activity for the
wristwatch for which I'm a spokesperson for, will return to Taiwan
tomorrow. I will also look more into the possibility of doing an "internet
fan meeting," because it has been awhile since I met with you all, I
really miss you guys ~ see if you guys have any suggestions regarding
internet fan meeting, get organized and let me know again ~ all right ~ I
must go to sleep ~ good night ~
Best Wishes
Ruby
