Joe Cheng bids goodbye to Prince Charming

Don’t expect to see Zheng Yuan Chang as [Prince Charming] in [Love or Bread] because this time I will be sacrificing for art, throwing away all the image.] [Xiao Zhong] Zheng Yuan Chang was busy filming scenes in a mansion that worth millions of money, during his break he has accepted our interviews that have traveled from a far.

Watching the wealthy dog eating their meal, imagine having a full stomach
This time Xiao Zhong’s role is a guy who loves money and power, unemployed, only knows how to spend money, a penniless Frank. But this character happens to be the role that he has been most anticipating for, [Even though it will make the fans to loose their fantasy but the advantage of this character is that, Frank is a very kind-hearted person, in the end he will be influence by Zeng Shan Mei played by Lin Yi Chen, and become a dependable and steady person. The story doesn’t have Prince and Princess; on the contrary some of the contents have left quite a deep impression on me.] Xiao Zhong reveals that in one of the scene: [Both of us are very poor, don’t get to have our meals, very hungry, so we went to the front door of those wealthy people and see what they are giving their dog to eat. Even though we said dog is more fortunate than people but then we can also [imagine] ourselves having a big feast for dinner, after that we went home happily and sleep. This is the romantic, self-entertainment by poor people; everyone has to remember to watch it!]

Both of them doesn’t have [old partner] feeling
Even thought the gap is not that long after their previous collaboration in [They Kiss Again] but both of them doesn’t have [old partner] feelings at all, Xiao Zhong said: [Lin Yi Chen is a very professional actress, there’s a big changes in the way she played out her character so this time our collaboration will bring out a very different feeling, the most familiar feeling will be the tacit understanding that we have by just one glance or movement.] He’s right though, this time [MingPao] exclusive interview was able to take pictures in this big mansion that they have as the set location, this bickering couple, in order to make a living, has to do the cleaning for this mansion. But the typical lazy Frank has started to slack off and day dream that he is the owner of this mansion.

Director Lin He Long is famous for [Speedy Director], previous series like [Why Why Love], [Corner With Love] were also directed by him. This is the first collaboration for Zheng Yuan Chang and Lin Yi Chen with the director, they also praised his [Fast, Ruthless and Accurate] style and has allow their collaboration to have a different feeling.

After spending all the money, the private financial company has started to ask Frank to repay his debt, even threatening him that if he doesn’t then they will cut off his arms and legs, so he can only hide himself inside his house and never to come out. Unfortunately during the wee morning, when he finally leaves his mansion and his beautiful girl from his dream and comes back to his additional extended wooden house that was build on the top of the building, those private financial people have suddenly breaks into the house and demand him to repay his debts.
