Question:

series 《如果我是真的》release?
Host:
It's not confirmed yet at the moment, because the series will only start to
produce on 15th June.
Host: Gallen has arrived, and all the
colleagues are so excited.
Question:
Has Gallen arrived yet?
Gallen: Yes,
and still exhausting.
Question:
Gallen, may I know if you are shooting any tv
series recently?
Gallen:
Currently, yes.
Question:
I wish to know if the majority of Kong Kong actor
would act as the bad-to-the-bone villain before they gain their popularity.
Gallen:
Not really, I've been acted as a good company for 6,7 years and not popular so
this may be the reason. Because bad company has more room to show talents.
Question:
May I know if there is next part of the series, At The Threshold of An Era? When
will it be acted? What's your point of view on Kenix Kwok? I feel that you and
Kenix are very matched!
Gallen: Firstly, thanks for the audience support, the
series will not have next part, because I was acted till old people in the
series. I think Kenix is very good, we are very matched. Hope I will have
chances to cooperate with her.
Question:
Among Jessica Hester, Flora Chan,
and Kenix Kwok, who do you feel more happy when cooperating?
Gallen:
All of
them.
Question: Do you have any children? Between job and family, which one
would you choose?
Gallen:
I have one son, one and half years old, I really
like him; my family really understand and support me, therefore, I have no
burden, and I have no worry when working.
Question:
When will your new series
release?
Gallen: Around October this year.
Question:
You have cooperated
with Jessica in many tv series and movies, so what do you feel
'bout each other?
Recently, you two are cooperated again and what kind of series is that?
Gallen:
Currently, me and Jessica are shooting a mainland
production 《假如我是真的》,
I'm very happy to cooperate with her, because she really
likes to laugh. In Hong Kong, we do business together, therefore our relations
are very closed.
Question:
Do you feel that you will continue to be popular?
Gallen:
I will, with you
all support, I do hope I'll be more popular.
Question:
You still want to be
an actor, do you have any other plan?
Gallen: Currently, I really wish
to be an actor, I might set up my own business in future, but currently I'm
still not sure, it's alright as long as I can earn money.
Question:
Do you
feel that you are a portrait of a best man?
Gallen: Very difficult to say,
different woman has different points of view, my wife likes someone who takes
care of the family, earns money, and loves her.
Question:
Really like the
character of yours in your series, may I know what is your attitude in real
life?
Gallen:
My character in series and real life are different, but there
may be the same, but I really like it this way, I will try my best to perform
more characters.
Question:
How old are you this year, Gallen?
Gallen: 26,
haha.
Question:
You look really handsome on coat, may I know how tall are
you?
Gallen: 1.80m
Question: May I know the cool feelings on yours in tv
are natural or you do that purposely? Your hairstyle is really beautiful, is it
specially designed by the company?
Gallen: The producer will design my look
on every character, actually I do acted some funny character, like old
time buddy. I also get prize at TVB on this character.
Question:
If there is
a chance to cooperate with mainland actress, who do you wish to cooperate with?
Gallen:
Zhao Wei.
Question: You have ever acted in different characters, both good
and bad. So what will you do to refrain yourself from influencing by the
characters you were on?
Gallen: Because, shooting movies in Hong Kong is very
tight in Hong Kong. You may be shooting for several movies at a day, therefore,
it's very fast to change back to normal. I really like to listen to music as
well, therefore I can use this method.
Question:
If you are not an artist in
future, will you change to constrcution? Just like At the threshold of an era
(ATE).
Gallen: I'd do that if only I want to earn more money.
Question:
Gallen, I really like to watch the series, ATE. Is this the best character you
have acted?
Gallen: Yes. Because Yip Wing Tim this character is very
difficult to act. He's a bad-tempered person, which I'm not, so I have to keep
acting him.
Question:
Heard that you are aware of your own look.
Gallen:
Depends on the character. If I have to be good looking, I'll keep on looking at
the mirror. If I have to be a farmer, I'll make myself uglier.
Question:
Will
you release new album again?
Gallen: Yes, I have just finished recording in
Hong Kong. Probably, it will release on August in Hong Kong. I do hope it will
be available in mainland here too, because I don't have time to record mandarin
album.
Question:
Do you like to sing or acting movies?
Gallen: Acting
movies, because shooting movies are in a group, it's much more happier.
Question:
Are you happy in real life?
Gallen:
Happy.
Question:
Will you
divorce? You are so handsome and there are a lot of pretty ladies waiting for
you.
Gallen: Have you married?
Question:
Do you think Felix Wong has scent
of men, or you?
Gallen:
Different scent of men.
Question:
What is your
son's name? Hope he will be handsome like you. And best wishes to you.
Gallen:
羅裕成
(actually there is a 王
beside the 成
but we don't have the word here, sorry), and at the same time thank you.
Question:
Have you ever thought of acting in Jing Yong's series?
Gallen:
I have acted
in one before, 《射雕英雄转》,
I played as Yong Hong.
Question:
Are you tired of acting series, are you able
to cope with it?
Gallen: Not tired, I like to act so I don't feel tire.
Question:
Do you like to do sports usually? You are so handsome, do you have any secret
formula?
Gallen:
Thanks to my father and mother. I'd do sport when I'm free, I prefer swimming.

guy type?

By faith. Of cos' with own hard work, and also support from
you all.
Question:
Is the perfect character, Yip Wing Tim in ATE and you are
the same in real life? Is he your best character in mind?
Gallen: I don't
agree with the way he did things in the beginning, because I'm not a
businessman. But he's really good to his family but he's not good on love.
Question:
Do you think handsome and pretty is important in entertainment field?
Gallen:
Depends on characters. If you are handsome and pretty, it's easier to become
popular, but must be hard working as well.
Question:
Do you still want to
have another child? Is your son happy?
Gallen: Leave it natural. I'll ask my
son when I'm back home: I give you one brother good or not?
Question:
Singing
and acting, which one do you prefer? How do you arrange your time?
Gallen: I
prefer acting. The company helps me to arrange the time.
Question:
I really
admire that you and your wife are living so good. It's very difficult to have a
good family in entertainment field, right?

Agree. Beacuse my wife is
very good, and my family really support me, like my parents.

your son watch your series?

Yes, he'd keep staring at the tv when he
saw me on tv.
