Days of having little sleep for 4 months running finally came to an end. On the 20th of July, the TV series I produced <The Summer of Bubbles> has finally wrapped up albeit bloodily!!! On the morning of July 20 I wanted to shoot a scene where the hero saves the beauty, fighting with two punks. In order to make it look real we didn't let the crew prepare that type of soft, fake wooden stick as the weapon used by the punks, so we found a real wooden stick in the scrap nearby. As a result I really did get a wound on my head. At the time I was a little dizzy, but there was no time to rest so we immediately shot again. Consequently I got hit on the head once more, opening a second wound.
 
Never mind, anyway someone said that if you see red on the final day of shooting then the show will definitely be very successful...
 
This show is different from the shows I shot before, because as a director I have a progressive relationship with each staff member. I wanted to make something to give to everyone as a memento to always remember, so I spent a couple of hours drawing a picture to print on cups to give everyone.

Here I want to thank all the staff and and actors and actresses who have been supporting me, this new producer. During filming we met with many difficulties and inconveniences, it was all on everyone's unity and tolerance that accompanied me across. Initially I wanted to discreetly thank everyone on stage at the celebration party, but my tears failed me and were about to stream down, so I didn't get to say some things. In a word...thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
 
Now I have an urgent situation, I hope I can once again draw support from everyone's strength. Previously on <Lightning Stars Touched> programme I helped a little boy--little Liu Xing. Originally he was to have one final round of chemotherapy to become a regular kid, however an accident unexpectedly occurred at the final point. Now he has been in a coma for a week, and is at the edge of life and death. Everyone has worked hard for so long, him and his family have also been fighting hard for so long. Wanting him to be a healthy and bright kid, looking about to succeed, yet this occurred. Before I have asked everyone to help a friend with a disease for prayers and encouragement. Because she had the care and support of everyone she has gradually recovered after the operation. Now little Liu Xing also needs your help and strength. I hope every little thing that we have done for little Liu Xing can help his condition quickly make a turn for the better.

连续4个月失眠的日子终于告一段落了。我第一次制作的 电视剧《泡沫之夏》终于在7月20日血淋淋地杀青了！！！7月20日早上我是要拍一场英雄救美的戏，跟两个小混混打架。为求逼真我们没有让剧组准备那种软 绵绵很假的木棍来当小混混的武器，所以就在废墟附近找了一根真的木棍，结果好死不死真的在我头上开了一个洞。当时头有一点晕，但是没有时间休息立刻再拍了 一条。结果又打到我的头，开了第二个洞。

 

第一个洞

第二个洞

没关系啦，反正有人说杀青那天见红戏就一定会很红…

 

这部戏跟我之前拍过的所有戏都不一样，因为身为制作人和每一位工作人员都有了革命感情。我想做个东西给大家永远留作纪念，于是就花了十几个小时画了一张画印在杯子上送给大家。

 

 

我们是一个最充满活力跟朝气的剧组，每一次只要有人请喝饮料，大家都会很有默契的喊这个 口号：“谢谢头家，你的饮料好好喝，厚嘿”（大家都叫我头家，因为在台语里那是老板的意思），这句话是最代表我们剧组的。所以无论过了多少年，当我们拿起 这个杯子喝饮料的时候就会回想起当时的快乐。杯子上是Q版的洛熙、欧辰跟夏沫。最左边那个是猫王版的洛熙，晓明在戏里有一个招牌动作就是手摆在嘴上往前 指；中间是热血高校版绑着绿蕾丝的欧辰；右边则是性感黑暗女王版的夏沫。

 

在这里要谢谢一直支持着我这个新制作人的所有工作人员以及演员们。在拍戏过程中遇到很多 困难与麻烦，都是靠着大家的团结以及包容来陪我一起渡过的。本来在庆功宴的台上想更慎重的感谢大家，但是我的眼泪又很不争气的快要流下来，所以有一些话没 有讲到。总之……谢谢！谢谢！谢谢！

 

 

现在有一个紧急状况，希望能够再一次借助大家的力量。 我以前在《闪电星感动》节目中帮助过的那个小男孩——小刘星，本来再做最后一次化疗就能够康复变成正正常常的小朋友，可是竟然在最后一关的时候发生了点意 外。他现在已经昏迷一个礼拜，在生死边缘。我们大家努力了那么久，他和他的家人也努力了那么久，要让他成为一个健康阳光的小孩，眼看已经要成功了，却发生 了这个事情。之前我在这里也有请大家帮忙为一位病中的朋友祈福打气，她因为有了大家的关心与支持手术后已经渐渐康复了。现在小刘星也需要的大家的帮助和力 量，希望大家和我一起对小刘星做的点点滴滴可以让他的病情赶快好转起来。

27 June 2009 Apple Daily Newspaper
[Peng Su Juan/Taipei Report] Peter Ho is working with model Patina Lin, who he once had rumours with, on the MV of his new single <Imagine>. Different from the past where they shot an ad only wearing underwear, now they wear a lot on this collaboration. He has Patina portraying an lady boss, with both of them wearing suits in the scenes; he even suddenly wanted to move the office desk to Shalun Beach at Danshui, in order to shoot the aesthetic feeling of the central office at sea. However caused himself to get heat exhaustion from the sun, and was wet all over from the splashing sea water. Peter is busy acting and producing the idol drama <The Summer of Bubbles>, but doesn't forget to shoot one new music MV every month. He previously approached South Korean star Chae Rim, mainland actress Qin Lan, and also good friend Ruby Lin to be guest female lead in his MV. Patina Lin was invited to work on this new song <Imagine>, but yet he covered up her nice figure. He plays a rookie employee, while she is the woman in charge of motor vehicles, putting on a <Defeated Queen> story.

Shooting MV in the sea, Risk of fainting
Peter Ho and Patina Lin collaborate in an MV. He plays a rookie employee, while she is the woman in charge.
There is a scene where due to an enormous amount of pressure from work he was gasping for breathe, and imagined his office was at the sea. In order to shoot this aesthetic feeling, in the middle of last month he vacated one day so he could ride from early morning to Danshui's Shalun Beach to choose locations. Firstly he set the office desk on top of the beach, then foolishly waited for the rising tide. In the end on that day the sun was particularly roasting hot, and waiting from day until the afternoon, he almost got heatstroke. Painstakingly waiting for the rising tide, other people had already left, yet he had to obediently sit on the seat pretending to be happily at the office, letting the sea water splash and drench his whole body.

| 【彭素娟╱台北報導】何潤東新單曲《想像》MV找來曾傳過緋聞的名模林嘉綺合作，
有別於過去合拍廣告僅著內褲，如今再合作穿很多，他把林嘉綺塑造成老處女上司，
2人穿西裝入鏡；他還突發其想把辦公桌搬到淡水沙崙海灘，
想拍出在海中央辦公的唯美意境，卻害自己曬到暈、被海水潑了一身濕。
何潤東正忙著自製自演的偶像劇《泡沫之夏》，但不忘每月拍1首新歌MV，
他之前已找過韓星蔡琳、大陸女星秦嵐，以及好友林心如友情客串MV女主角，
這回新歌《想像》則請林嘉綺跨刀，但他卻包住她的好身材，他演菜鳥員工，
她是機車女主管，上演《敗犬女王》的情節。
海裡拍MV險曬昏


何潤東（右）與林嘉綺合作MV，他演菜鳥員工、她是老處女主管。
其中有一幕他被龐大的工作壓到喘不過氣，而幻想到海上辦公，
為了拍出這個唯美意境，上月中他抽出1天空檔，
一大早就驅車到淡水沙崙海邊取景，先在海灘上擺著辦公桌，
癡癡等待漲潮，結果當天陽光特別炙熱，
從白天等到下午，他差點曬到中暑，
好不容易等到漲潮，別人閃遠遠，
他卻得乖乖坐在椅子上裝出快樂辦公的樣子，
任由海水濺了他全身濕透。

Peter Ho, Huang Xiao Ming often invites "The Summer of Bubbles" castmates to eat and drink. Pauline Lan is really something, travelling to location she will buy souveniours to give to the staff.

Whether it's example of Taiwan actors ingratiating themselves or the production team, it's a common occurence. Leader Pauline Lan once gave her best friend a HERMES Birkin bag, and also once generously gave everyone in the production team a watch each. In her earlier years when Pauline Lan was a programme host, every time the production team went overseas to shoot, as long as they're in transit, she would certainly buy watches at the duty-free airport out of her own pocket, to give to the staff who are present. Her cordial nature lets the staff feel that no matter how tired they get, it's all worth it.

Peter with Da S and Huang Xiao Ming, recently are shooting ''The Summer of Bubbles" in Taiwan. The staff also eat and drink together with them because as long as Da S has scenes on the day, there will be drinks, coffee, small snacks that Peter brought, looking like a Dumpling Festival. Da S and Peter will take turns inviting staff to eat meat dumplings. Everyday a hundred dumplings will be eaten, making the cast and crew joke: "After this show has finished shooting, everyone will become fatter."

Nicky Wu who became famous from the Little Tigers Team, returned to Taiwan two years earlier to shoot "The Days When Morning Glory Bloomed". In the drama he acts as the big brother, in reality he really is like a big brother taking care of all the staff members. He filmed for almost 3 months, and set everyday at three o'clock in the afternoon to be "afternoon tea" time. He will always bring a hundred cups of coffee and tea on set, those who see will get one. In the past actors would prepare their own snacks, but after filming with Nicky, these would all be unnecessary. But the interesting thing is, Nicky himself will not eat a bite, and only watch others eat.

何潤東(左一)、黃曉明(左二)常請「泡沫之夏」劇組吃吃喝喝。本報資料照

藍心湄很大方，到外景地出差，都會買紀念品送工作人員。本報資料照片

台灣演員討好劇組或製作單位的例子也屢見不鮮，時尚教主藍心湄曾送過好友柏金包，
也曾大手筆送過製作單位一人一只手表。早年藍心湄主持節目時，每次製作單位出國拍外景，
只要過境，她一定自掏腰包在免稅機場買手表，送給現場工作人員，她的好人緣也讓工作人員覺得再累也值得。
何潤東與大S、黃曉明，最近在台灣拍「泡沫之夏」，工作人員也跟著吃吃喝喝，因為只要大S當天有戲，
現場一定有飲料、咖啡，何潤東則帶小點心，光是一個端午節，大S與何潤東就輪流請工作人員吃肉綜，
每天上百顆綜子，讓劇組工作人員笑稱：「這部戲拍完，每個人都得胖上一圈。」
小虎隊出身的吳奇隆，兩年前返台拍「牽牛花開的日子」，
他在片中演大哥，私下也像個大哥一樣照顧所有工作人員。
他拍戲近3個月，自訂每天下午三點是「午茶」時間，
他一定帶上百杯咖啡與茶點到現場，見者有份，
以往有演員會自備零食，跟吳奇隆拍戲後，這些全省了，
但有趣的是，吳奇隆本人可是一口都不吃，只看別人吃。

Lately I really wish I can use split body magic to call out my other halves, let Peter Ho South act in the romantic idol drama as the deeply emotional and high-handed Ou Chen; let Peter Ho West ride the Red Hare holding Lu Bu's halberd and fight heroically in the battlefield; let Peter Ho North as a singer interpret romantic love stories in different MV's. As for Peter Ho (East) himself he can take care of being a producer, turning his dream <The Summer of Bubbles> into the most aestheticly romantic idol drama. This way everyone has a job, it sounds quite rational. Unfortunately my mother didn't give birth to quadruplets. So only left with this Peter Ho, me, to play the roles of A-Nan (South), A-Xi (West) and A-Bei (North). These few days I have come from <The Summer of Bubbles> crew to Hengdian to film <Three Kingdoms>. In the series I have to say "Diao Chan, where are you?", I always say "Xiao Mo, where are you?". I can't turn it around!! My CPU is going to burn out soon.
 
Besides Xiao Mo and Diao Chan I also struck up a dynamic love with Ruby Lin in another time and space. "Ruby and I live together, listen to music together, dance together (this dancing aspect is the one we feel is most difficult, because the director wants us to dance a little crazy, as a result it seems we could only be like hyperactive orangutans). However good times don't last long, my manager gave Ruby a plane ticket asking her to leave me. Because I'm someone who puts a lot into emotions, he thinks that this stage of my life, love will become an obstacle to my work. Ruby doesn't want to become a burden on the dream I'm chasing, as a result she decided to leave me."
I particularly like this <Lover's Song>, it has a romantic melody and at the same time reveals a kind of light sorrow. But this kind of sorrow is a sweet one. This time I used a different voice to interpret this song. I myself also really like this MV. Director Huang Zhongping filmed it full of feeling, especially the ending after the music has finished. The few new songs released recently expresses more emotion, next time I will give everyone a more different flavour. Please look forward to it!!
