All he needed was love ... and a star actress
Print Edition
Taiwan pop singer Richie Jen says his new film 鈥 his first as a director 鈥 is like his music: pure and simple.
The 49-year-old wrote, directed and stars in 鈥淎ll You Need Is Love鈥 alongside Shu Qi, of 鈥淚f You Are The One鈥 fame, who plays a rich girl running away from problems at home. She meets and falls in love with Jen鈥檚 character, a struggling inn owner.
Jen says that, just like his music, his film will give audiences a warm, fuzzy feeling.
鈥淚 think movies are dream factories. I want to make your dreams come true and feel blissful afterwards,鈥 he said. 鈥淢y music is very simple, not a big deal, but it is sincere, very pure and moving.鈥
A megahit single from Jen鈥檚 1996 multiplatinum album opened the door for film and TV roles but he kept alive his dream of becoming a director, often sharing his vision and script ideas with his friend Shu.
He credits her as his muse, but never thought she would be available for his directorial debut. When his management told him she was available he had to work quickly to meet her schedule.
鈥淚 only had two months to prepare. Is that enough? Doesn鈥檛 matter! Bring it on!鈥 he said.
鈥淎ll You Need Is Love鈥 is in theaters in Taiwan and China鈥檚 mainland.
