“Romantic Princess” Philippines promotion activity, Chun, Calvin makes juice

The consecutive three days of promotional activities for the GTV drama [Romantic Princess], finally concluded with a fan club function two days ago. Even though both Wu Chun and Calvin Chen were sad that they had to leave, they also felt deeply the demonstrative enthusiasm of the Filipina. Two days ago when they went on various programs of Philippines’ biggest cable TV station ABS-CBN, the female reporter started off the interview in a serious manner. It was unexpected that after the interview finished, she immediately displayed an expression like a little fan and rushed to Calvin. She even took the initiative to give him a kiss by the ear, startled Calvin in the process. Later he indicated that he was very surprised.

For the promotion of [Romantic Princess], they had to travel throughout Asia, including Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Philippines. Chatting about the cultural and social differences of each country, the two had their own individual opinions. Calvin said:” Indonesian friends always present us with flower wreaths and fruit juice. The Japanese always starts with everyone doing a “Love Encouragement” together and adds a 90 degree bow but in comparison, the Philippines are the most enthusiastic. Even the Filipina hostess of the program would take the initiative and hugged me by the waist.”

Originally the location of the fan club function could only admit 200 people but there were simply too many fans waiting outside in the rain. The TV station specially allowed 500 fans to enter. The fan club function took place in a mini-theatre and even the stairs and hallway were filled with people. But there were still fans who started to cry when they waited in vain outside in order to take pictures with Wu Chun. They even yelled out in English at the location: “I came at 7 am this morning and still was unable to take pictures!” When he learned of this, Wu Chun also felt that it was regrettable. However because all the programs were broadcasted live, they did not want to delay any program taping schedules. He hoped that next time there will be another opportunity to come.

During the fan club function, the two of them first picked the lucky fans who would receive [Romantic Princess]-related products. Just seeing the two of them at close proximity, the fans already lost control. When they went on stage and received the gifts personally handed to them by their idol, they totally went crazy. Some fans tried to go directly into Chun’s embrace and others hugged Calvin tightly and refused to let go, making the staff there broke in cold sweat. Next the two of them made blended smoothies. Wu Chun chose the locally most popular mango, plus yogurt and honey. Calvin Chen chose to use watermelon and honey. After they finished making the smoothies, Wu Chun even playfully pretended to be a hawker and called out to the fans there: “Who wants to buy? $100 a glass.” His tactics sent audience laughing uproariously. Calvin Chen said that he was very knowledgeable regarding fruit juice drinks because he had worked for 2 months in a juice bar before, even used the earning to buy a motorcycle. He said that the customer would felt the drink was more aromatic if honey was added.
