i understand.. ella may appear unappealing at times..

that is because she dresses up like any ordinary person (unless needed or required)..

most of the time you would see her wearing a shirt, shorts and shoes right?

she wears clothes that would make her feel comfortable,

and not to impress people..

Yeah, she isn't very attractive.

Ella搞笑收复机车男言承旭

【暴龙】言承旭的酷，臣服于Ella的搞笑与亲和力! 两人合作偶像剧《就想赖着你》，戏中、戏外两人一家亲，以往言承旭接演偶像剧时，都会被冠上难搞、臭脸的称号，此次他一改往例，脸上的笑容之多，更胜过以往任何一部戏，连制作人都称赞有加，可见Ella魅力无法挡。

由八大与合作的新偶像剧《就想赖着你》从男、女主角敲定言承旭（Jerry）与Ella之后就备受重视，制作人柯淑勤表示，先不提剧情中为两位主角铺陈了许多有趣的冲突戏，光是Ella与Jerry原本的个性一热一冷，一个搞笑一个闷的性格对比、反差极大，无需多说什么，就已经形成一种吸引观众的张力。

笑话鬼脸攻势齐发

事实也证明，制作人的想法是对的。据了解《就想赖着你》开拍至今，虽然Ella与Jerry、剧组都是第一次合作，但很快就以其活泼的亲和力融入其中，尤其是被大家认为最闷、情绪最多的Jerry，在Ella的笑脸+笑话+鬼脸的【攻势】下，超ging又拘谨的【面具】完全瓦解，笑容变多，完全应验 Ella在开镜记者会上的【融化言承旭】预告。

对于这段时间与Ella合作的经验，Jerry透过经纪人Fenny表示，Ella很活泼，可爱又有趣，还很爱开玩笑，和她演戏非常舒服，轻松又没压力，对戏时非常自然，笑容自然也变多了，合作非常开心。

剧组人员描述了两人的想出状况。先向剧组报到的是Jerry，他在剧中饰演律师【项羽平】，因为也是第一次与大家合作，算是进到一个陌生的环境，所以刚开始时，大家对他的第一印象是客客气气的，工作态度很好，只是感觉上比较闷一点，也不太会和大家说说笑笑。

随后进入剧组的Ella，则是饰演Jerry聘请的第十七任保姆【杨果】，负责帮他照顾两个古灵精怪的侄子侄女。开始时，Ella也是因为与不熟的工作人员相处，多少会有些距离感，所以除了拍戏之外，她并没有像外界所说的【搞笑】，话也不多，除了说台词、演戏之外，几乎没怎么开口说话，让人有些意外。

卸心防笑场NG

不过，Ella毕竟是Ella，拍了几天戏，对剧组工作人员有初步认识后，她就再也撑不住有气质的淑女样，活泼外放个性与亲和力就完全释放，并呈现火力全开的状态，只要不拍戏的时候，就能看她和工作人员哈拉、开玩笑，带动整个拍戏现场的气氛，成为大家的开心果。

卸掉刚合作时的观察戒心与疏离感后，Ella不仅和导演柯翰辰有说有笑，也能适时说些笑话，做出各种表情，让Jerry放松心情。剧组人员表示，因为 Jerry扮演律师，角色设定是冷静、聪明、毒舌、冷漠，所以拍律师事务所的戏时，整个人是很严肃的。但是只要Ella在场，就会在一旁说笑，做出各种表情，让Jerry放松心情，嘴角也会往上扬，脸色也柔和许多，有时候还不自觉笑场NG，也把工作人员都逗笑了。

既然连很GING的 Jerry都被弄笑了，导演也不用说，不仅早早对Ella的亲和力【投降】，不拍戏时可是一起【放轻松】呢！举例来说，有天Ella是中午到班，到现场， Ella照例先问候导演【午安】，导演则是耍冷地回答说：“你是午安，我可是早安哪”站在一旁的Jerry也出人意料地插了一句：“我也是早安啊” Ella则是双手一摊“谁叫你们发我这时候来！”工作人员笑说：乍听之下，不知情的人，还以为导演与Jerry一起讽刺Ella迟到，但其实是导演与 Jerry联手搞笑，羡慕Ella可以多睡一会，中午再拍戏。

迟到险丢演出机会

其实Ella被剧组及电视台选为《就想赖着你》的女主角之后，还曾因故差点丢掉演出机会。柯宜勤透露：“第一次约Ella见面时，除了我之外，还有编剧、导演等人，几乎所有剧组重要人员都到场，没想到Ella居然迟到一个多小时。本来大家等得有些生气，不过Ella很会做人，先请她的经纪人买了咖啡赶到公司，告知迟到的原因，安抚大家的情绪；等Ella匆匆赶到时，进门立刻鞠躬道歉，而且是一个人一个人道歉，非常懂得人情世故，加上她的热情笑脸，让人感觉很舒服，舍不得苛责，大家心里很快就原谅她了，愉快的进行会议。”

合作一个多月来，柯宜勤也被Ella的个人特质打动。她表示：“不是每位艺人都能演戏，Ella很聪明，反应快，不仅具有艺人特质，演戏也非常有天分，演技自然不做作，可以说天生就是吃这行饭。不过，她之前演的几部偶像剧，虽然收视都还不错，给观众的印象也不差，却没有特别跳出的代表角色。而《就想赖着你》的剧情桥段几乎为她量身打造，角色个性又十分速配，我认为会是她参与偶像剧演出以来，最能突显她特色的代表作。”

导演大赞找对人

与Ella第一次合作的导演柯翰辰，也对 Ella的表现颇为满意。就导演的观察，Ella主演的上一部戏是2006年的八大偶像剧《花样少男少女》，算算已经有一年没演戏，所以刚进剧组时，在表演上的确有些生疏。不过，Ella把拍戏工作视为【玩】，很快找出其中的兴味，然后发挥她的艺人特质，利用聪明、敬业又乐群的工作习惯，立刻重拾演戏的 fu，很快调整工作心情，缩短与工作人员的磨合期，与大家打成一片。

对于Ella在剧组的表现，柯宜勤认为真的挑对人。她表示，之所以挑中Ella主演《就想赖着你》中的女孩【杨果】，她与Jerry个性的极端反差这是第一个理由。第二个理由，就是Ella与【杨果】的形象太match了，只要Ella一出现在镜头前，演技无需多修饰，就能让这个角色有十足的说服力。

“女主角【杨果】是个性善良纯真、乐观知足，在各种极衰、极惨的情况下，都有办法激励自己，更具有相信【真爱无敌】童话思维的女孩。Ella如邻家女孩的活泼、自然特质，以及平凡而不娇媚的外表，给人一种遇到困境都能乐观面对的外在表现，非常符合剧情 对这个角色的设定。”柯宜勤表示。

诠释角色具有说服力

剧组选中Ella除了可以【融化】Jerry、符合角色特质之外，第三个理由是剧中有一些剧情桥段的设计，还真的只有Ella才适合。柯宜勤举例说，剧中男主角【项羽平】是先在餐厅碰到迷糊、搞乌龙的服务生【杨果】，并在阴差阳错之下，误认【杨果】是蕾丝边女同志，以为【杨果】只喜欢女人，绝对不会成为纠缠自己、妄想设计嫁给他的心机女，才会没有戒心的让【杨果】住进家里当保姆。

柯宜勤表示：“单就这个剧情重点设计，放眼演艺圈，不论是偶像剧天后林依晨或是杨丞琳都不适合，只有感觉偏中性、曾在偶像剧《花样少男少女》中反串男生的Ella最适合。诸如此类专为Ella打造、由她诠释才最有说服力的桥段还真不少。”

虽然大家都想等着看Ella与Jerry在《就想赖着你》的演出，不过，观众要等到寒假前后才看得到。原因为之，就是因为Jerry与Ella都是大忙人， Jerry即将推出新专辑，长达两个月的两岸三地加海外宣传行程是无法避免，Ella与Selina、Hebe也将在六月底于澳门举行演唱会，更少不了排练时间，剧组必须抢他们的空档进行赶拍。制作人柯宜勤表示：“已经在开拍前知道这些情况，会弹性安排、调配时间，不会阻碍拍戏进度。当然，电视台的档期也是影响这部戏播出时间的因素，只能请观众耐心等待。”

Ella’s Hilarious Antics Won Over “Difficult” Jerry

Jerry’s cool has been conquered by Ella’s funny and approachable personality! In their latest collaboration for new idol serial [Just Want to Depend on You], both artistes are like part of a family on-and-off screen. In the past when filming idol serials, Jerry would be labeled as “difficult” and “showing black face” etc; but this time, he is actually full of smiles. Even the producer is full of praise for the ambience and indeed, Ella’s charms are irresistible.

The new idol serial [Just] is a collaboration between GTV and Domani. Ever since the male and female leads - Jerry and Ella are announced, this pairing has been the centre of everybody’s attention. Producer Ke Yi Qin expressed, even if we do not mention about the interesting clashes weaved in the plot and subplots of the drama, with just Ella and Jerry’s contrasting “warm vs cool”, “funny vs introvert” personalities, the artistes’ unique attributes are already a big draw for viewers.

Waves of Jokes Coupled with Funny Expressions

Indeed, it has been proven that the producer’s thoughts were right. Based on what we have learnt, since [Just] started filming, despite being the first project Ella, Jerry and the production crew are working together; everyone was very quickly drawn into the lively and friendly ambience. This is especially so for Jerry, whom many used to think of as “introvert and emotional”. Under the waves of “attack” from Ella’s smiles + jokes + funny expressions, even the most reserved and strict “mask” of Jerry crumbled, and his smiles are seen more frequently, and just like what Ella has promised to do - to “melt” Jerry, during the press conference of [Just].

When asked to share on his experience working with Ella to date, Jerry has expressed via his artiste manager, Fenny that Ella is very lively, adorable and interesting. She also likes to joke, thus, acting with her is very comfortable, relaxing and with no pressure. As he feels at ease acting with her, even his smiles have increased and he feels very happy at the collaboration.

According to what some crew members shared on their experiences initially. The first to report for filming was Jerry and his role in [Just] is as a lawyer - Xiang Yu Ping (XYP). As it was the first collaboration between them and with the new environment, initially, everyone’s impression of Jerry was polite and modest. He is very professional, but as he does not really chat nor joke around with the rest, it felt a little boring.

Subsequently, Ella started filming with the team. Her role in [Just], Yang Guo, is the 17th nanny employed by XYP to take care of his 2 mischievous nephew and niece. Initially, as Ella was also unfamiliar with the production team, there was a little distance between everyone. Hence, other than during filming, she was not as “playful and funny” as what others often say, and less chatty. She seldom talked beyond her lines, which surprised many people.

Letting Guards Down, Stifle Laughs Resulting in NG

Nonetheless, Ella is still Ella after all. After a few days of filming, and having gotten to know members of the crew a little better, she could no longer carry on the “dainty lady charisma”. Her bubbly, extrovert and approachable personality was not only “set free”, but also went on “full blast”. As long as it is not during filming, one could catch her chatting and joking with crew members, and rallying everyone to bring them into the mood and becoming everyone’s source of happiness.

After letting down her guard through initial observation, Ella also started chatting and joking with the director, Ke Han Chen. She is able to crack jokes timely coupled with many expressions, putting Jerry at ease. Crew members shared that as Jerry is acting as a composed, intelligent and cold lawyer; whenever they filmed parts on the lawyer firm, he would become very stern. However whenever Ella is around, she would throw in jokes on the sideline with her many funny expressions, as a result, Jerry will become more relaxed and even smile. His expression would also soften a little and sometimes he could not refrain from laughing and getting NG which crew members would also be tickled by him.

Even the reserved Jerry was tickled; needless to say, so was the director. He had long “surrendered” to Ella’s friendliness and will also join everyone in the “rest and relax fun” when not filming! For instance, one day Ella arrived on the set in the afternoon. As usual, Ella would first report to and greet the director, “Good afternoon”. In response, he decided to act cool and replied playfully, “You are ‘Good afternoon’, but I am ‘Good morning’.” Meanwhile, Jerry who was standing by the side, surprised everyone when he suddenly chirped in with a “I am also ‘Good morning’ ah”. In response, Ella could only throw her arms open and said, “Who ask you all to schedule me for filming only in the afternoon!” The crew members laughed. To a total stranger who do not understand them, he / she would probably thought the director and Jerry were being sarcastic to Ella for being late. But in fact, the director and Jerry are cracking jokes together at Ella, expressing their envy that she could sleep a little longer till the afternoon before her turn to film.

Nearly Lose Chance of Acting Due to Being Late

Actually, despite already being handpicked and confirmed by the production team and TV station for the female lead role in [Just], Ella was close to losing the chance to act in the drama. Ke Yi Qin revealed, “During the first meeting with Ella, myself, the scriptwriter, director and almost all the important members of the production team were present; never did we expect Ella to be late for over an hour. Initially we were a little upset, but Ella was able to handle the situation well. She requested for her artiste manager to buy beverage for everyone and hurried over to the meeting venue first, to help explain the reason for her being held up, and to reassure and pacify everyone. When Ella subsequently rushed down, she immediately bowed and apologized sincerely to each and every one personally when she stepped in. She is someone who is very worldly-wise and respectful, and with her warm smile, she makes everyone feels comfortable and could not bear to blame her further. Hence, everyone forgive her quickly and we proceed with the meeting happily.”

Since collaborating with Ella for over a month, Ke Yi Qin was moved by her unique personality. She shared, “Not every artiste can act well. Ella is very intelligent and her reflexes are quick. Not only does she possess the unique traits required of an artiste, she also has the talents in acting. Her acting is natural and not pretentious. You can say she is born to be in the entertainment industry. But despite her earlier serials receiving good viewership ratings, and left viewers with positive impression, she does not have a role which could stand out totally. The storyline of [Just] can be said to be customized for her, as the role is well-suited to her personality. I personally feel that this will be her most representative role, in relation to her past idol serials.

Director Full of Praise for Right Casting

Director Ke Han Chen is collaborating with Ella for the first time and he expressed great satisfaction with her performance to date. Based on the director’s observation, Ella last acted in GTV’s idol serial [Hana Kimi] in 2006, and she has not acted for more than a year. Therefore when she first joined the production team, she appeared a little unfamiliar with the whole setting. However, Ella views filming as “play” and was able to very quickly identify her interest. Coupled with her innate artiste nature; using her intelligence, professionalism and positive team-spirit attitude, she is able to promptly pick up the “feel” for acting and adjust herself to shorten the “running-in” time with crew members and become part of the team.

With regard to Ella’s performance, Ke Yi Qin feels that they have really casted the right person for the role. She shared that one of the reasons for choosing Ella to act as YG in [Just] is because of the vast contrast of personalities between Jerry and her. The second reason is because Ella and YG’s personalities are a perfect match. The moment Ella steps before the camera, she hardly requires any twigging in her acting skills to convincingly portray this role.

“The female role, YG, is a kind-hearted, innocent, optimistic and contented girl. Despite being hit by drastic situations and bad luck, she would always be able to find ways to encourage herself, and to believe in “real love conquers all things”. Ella’s girl-next-door bubbly, natural personality, an ordinary disposition without any coquettish feel, gives one the impression that she can embrace and overcome any situations cheerfully, which fits well with the storyline and the role.” Ke Yi Qin shared.

Able to Portray Role Convincingly

The production team handpicked Ella not only because she could “melt” Jerry, and possesses the unique characteristics akin to the role; the third reason is also because only Ella is suitable to act in certain parts of the subplots. Ke Yi Qin quoted an example. The male lead, XYP, first ran into the blur waitress, YG, in a restaurant where she made a blunder. Under some misleading confusions, he mistook YG as a lesbian, with no interest like other women who would bother and scheme about marrying him. Therefore he let down his guard to hire her as a nanny, and let her into his house.

Ke Yi Qin expressed, “With just this important plot alone, if you look within the entertainment industry, regardless Drama Heavenly Queens Ariel Lin or Rainie Yang, they would not be suitable. We need someone who has a more androgynous feel, hence, Ella who acted as a girl with a boy’s disguise in [Hana Kimi] is the best person for the role. Therefore, this role is specially customized for her and only she can convincingly bring out the plot.”

Although everyone is anxious to watch Ella and Jerry’s performance in [Just], it seemed that viewers have to wait till after the winter holidays. The reason is because both Jerry and Ella are very busy artistes. Jerry is going to release his new album and it is inevitable for him to be doing local and overseas promotions for 2 months or so. Meanwhile, Ella, together with SH will be holding their concert in Macau at the end of June and prior to this, there would be many rehearsals. The production team must make full use of their available timeslots to quickly finish filming. Producer Ke Yi Qin said, “We are fully aware of such situations prior to filming and will exercise flexibility in arranging their schedules, so as not to affect the progress of filming. Of course, another factor which would affect the telecast of the serial would be the programmes-line-up by the TV station. Therefore we urge viewers to wait patiently.”

lol i think she's adorable. she's the most craziest out of the whole group. but sometimes the other two would pitch in and it makes things so much funnier. xD

You never go bored with them around lol

lol i think she's adorable. she's the most craziest out of the whole group. but sometimes the other two would pitch in and it makes things so much funnier. xD

You never go bored with them around lol

yes, that's true! ella never fails to make me smile..

her sense of humor will provide a friendly environment to those persons around her so that they will be at ease while working..

Lol, you just hotlinked.

Ella's alright in my book. I honestly don't think she's that pretty but she's a pretty good singer.

A bit boyish... I guess her Hana Kimi look is still stuck on me.

Not really a big fan of Ella by herself, but when she's with S.H.E. she shines, lol.

She's the only reason why I like S.H.E. It's shame people rely more on looks instead of personality and talent. I love her voice and she's a funny actress.

i understand.. ella may appear unappealing at times..

that is because she dresses up like any ordinary person (unless needed or required)..

most of the time you would see her wearing a shirt, shorts and shoes right?

she wears clothes that would make her feel comfortable,

and not to impress people..

i don't mind the fact that she dresses ordinary, that's actually very cool. it's just that i'm not into short hair on girls so i don't find her attractive and she doesn't have the striking facial features either, but Ella can be cute and her personality/talent is what the fans truly admire

I like her. I watched her at Hana Kimi and she's so adorable..

Her neon green belt + black shirt + camouflage pants work good on her..

that's actually what i love about her..

she never thought of herself as a famous artist..

she always remained to be ordinary,simple and down to earth..

That's not what I was referring to.

I don't know if she's a very down to earth girl. And I don't know if she's a humble artist either.

What I'm saying is that physically, she is very plain/average looking.

Seems like the character of ella as Rui Xi is the one that everyone remembers..

Well, here’s the pics of all her dramas so far:

Magical Love(2001)

The Rose(2003)

Reaching for the Stars(2005)

Hana Kimi(2006)

Just Want to Depend on You (in production)

credits: as marked

kissez*: i get what you mean..

but what i'm trying to say is that i liked her not based on her appearance but based on her personality..

plus ella is beautiful for me.. well, we have own preferences of what beauty is anyway..

============

let me add this MV where ella was featured,

it is entitled Ai Dao Feng Dian..

Ella and Hebe actually made this song and was sung by Powerstation..
