Scoop Ekin Cheng Yee-Kin Sisters - June 2003

Ekin allow me visit many things.

At first only want request Ekin compare 10 fun unforgetable incidents, unfortunately he only counted first time Europe travel, first time drunk on a street corner, and first time produce record. Conversation topic had been the remaining 7 things but already things evaporate to invisibility.

Anna: Love and career can they exist togther?

Ekin: Can! Of course can, but want both people self satisfied , that also need.

Anna: For a long time, work hard, patience and opportunity.

Ekin: Correct You know full well, also want to ask.

Anna: I want your words to confirm my prediction. I want to have your confirmation it's able to become the script. I am the responsible for writing person.

Ekin: (laugh) I am only joking, still that case stubborn.

Anna: Is serious also is stubborn, although it is not of much value to force an item or flaunt personality, but because is natural, the day after tomorrow will not lose, however have frank admission know you many years never cover up. We are all the same type of person, will you answer frankly one question?

Ekin: ask OK

Anna: Are you are currently happy?

Ekin: ( didn't think) Really to speak honestly, I calculate is close to 2 years I have been most happy. The quantity of work perhaps not so much, but I win in other things. I have movies, I have advertisments, also not able to sing.

Anna: Are you rich?

Ekin: Before have wealth, currently the amount is comfortable. This amount of work cause me more than a little time to rest and clear space in my mind. Before it was film, sing, film, sing, I didn't have any opportunity to rest. Currently have things in my life other than work, I may search for other interests. So I can say my life is rich..

Anna: How about with record company, do you have a concern that your signature was a mistake?

Ekin: Every aspect of this matter, in different time, from a different angle you would see different response. Two years ago I actually felt as you do that my signature was a a mistake. I complain non stop to the record company. I watch my own singing opportunity attain zero. I become much more resentful I speak angrily, become more down, more miserable. But today I look back see this time. I am again able think this two years record market is not good . Better not to have a CD than to experience a drop in sales. Of course, if the record company suddenly splash big money and uses its big power to publize, I would be much better than the others.

Anna: But about this thought, doesn't it cause a person's spirit to collapse, you are at a stand still?

Ekin: So I choose to use positive, optimistic attitude when faced with can't produce CD. Most of the time I use this advantage to rest. Try self-critism to equip myself for the future. Although this stop this is not my desire or request, but because change hasn't arrived.I only work hard to enrich myself, then again if I have the chance, hope cause everyone to see a new look.

Anna: You have grown up?

Ekin: I also feel.

Anna When did this begin?

Ekin: Think this road complete, the end of 2002 and beginning of 2003.

Anna: Also is only near sheep year, I think these two years have been very very hard work.

Ekin: These two years difficult. Movies again not good, singing I am unable, then add on newspapers that some not....

Anna: Not too friendly of newspapers they are sincere in what they write

Ekin (laugh)very good listening. In short, what they write together make me uneasy. I very much want more work, but the more I want, the more I am without, the more without the more anxious I become and then it becomes hard work, more difficult.

Anna Shan Shan compare you with hard work, she certainly have consoled you.

Ekin: She suffer more than me , that time period she non stop scold me, cause me feel very miserable, I think I endure misfortune in my heart. Then reporters want to talk with me and I swear at them. This situation continued. Gradually I just begin relax, begin to see the angles. These words very accurate (happiness isn't inevitable) you think you want this, you think you want that, you think entirely, not represent ability completely. Able to think of that with my signature high level suddenly exit, correspond to a plan disappeared in smoke dispersed by the rain.

Anna: Can the plan be rescued

Ekin: (thought once) maybe can, maybe can be re-made. Always since I am also self aware must listen and understand, analyze strengths, and be quite stubborn. Now when I meet people and allow questions, only want them tell me. I also from them may figure out how to take care of and settle difficulties. When ask question emerge with me own time. Before I couldn't coldly examine like that.

Anna: Audiences and fans not want you to change

Ekin: Remember that time. I was really very bothersome. Individuals not satisfied, very unhappy. I also suffer from not trust people. I think I made a mistake and should reflect.

Anna : And the result of reflecting?

Ekin: Accept reality, futhermore want to try to change work direction.

Anna: Have you thought to sell cut price, what else would you not mind to make?

Ekin: That's impossible, has no meaning. Want stability, when anxious can't progress.

Anna You often say that the entertainment circle is lasting endurance. Your career slow a little, may it allow your return bring joy and appreciation of the scenery.

Ekin: I think like this.

Anna: What other things do you want to do?

Ekin: Want to learn good English. I currently study with a teacher. Although only at the beginning stage, not bad. One day I saw Andy Lau on CNN give an interview, he completely use English Language to reply, I admired that. I remember many years before at a radio staion he and I were together. There were some foreign nationalities there, he already not fear to talk with them. I also hope to feel this way one day.

Anna: Do you want to sing?

Ekin: I want to.

Anna: Are you currently in negtiation with a record company?

Ekin: I am.

Amma; What kind of request do you make of them?

Ekin: I only request that I can challenge myself. Before my songs have mainly include bundle to bind you, for instance image, hairstyle, manner, not leave one specification allowed to change. But currrently, I believe can make this burden easier but it is courage to try to make change. I think I will sing some of my former songs sing anew. I believe this two years experience should enable me to deduce which ones.

Anna: Because you have grown up become more mature?

Ekin: Yes

Anna: In fact currently you stitch together enter business. What is your biggest difference?

Ekin: ( sigh) Men and male's different, currently I don't have a theory. Perhaps expression or smile doesn't contain what expect, so reveal that little trace of past blue sea experience. Is not pretence also never coverup. So I think currently go sing some of my older songs, but won't be the same, role difference will be very great.

Anna: What hasn't changed?

Ekin: I don't want people to think I only play. When I work the difference is I am serious. I think this image of me hasn't changed.
