All Voted For Megan’s Character Abusi! Some
Female Fans Formed Online Group, “To Marry Abusi!”!
When asked
regarding who is the “最符合的角色”, Megan’s
Abusi has received the highest votes. Vivian Sung said that Megan has the expression
as Abusi throughout the filming process and she praised her for that. Megan
said that she has to maintain her gesture as Abusi to prevent people from
recognizing her as Megan.
Megan humbly
said that she has gained a lot of female fans from different age categories for
her character. When asked
about how fans have reacted to her character, she said that some of the fans
thought that Abusi is played by some Korean male artiste. They have even formed
group, “To Marry Abusi!”! The fans were surprised when they realized that it is
Megan who plays the character.
Bu Lusi mentioned that during one of the event, the
fans commented, “Si-Ying is very
pretty!”, “Abusi is very handsome!”,
then, “Ah Tuo…..”, hinting that Abusi has totally outmatched him in
gaining the affection from female fans! (laughter)
Being
Shy At first, Vivian Sung Eventually Felt Similar to Her Character!
This is the first time Vivian Sung was being casted as one of the main character in a
movie. In the movie, her character is a “臭三八”, thus she
has tried her best to be as 三八 as she can.
She mentioned that she was very shy at first.
However, after being advised by Giddens
Ko and the director, she started to feel the similarity between her and the
character Si-Ying thus making it easier for her to immerse herself as being Si-Ying.

Bu Lusi’s
Crazy Experience During The Past!
Bu Lusi has left a great impression for the audiences who
have watched the movie. His friendly, cheerful personality and good body shape
have been good criteria to be casted for the film.
Apart
from all these, Bu Lusi also has a similarity with Giddens Ko. He used to have some crazy experience with his friends
during the past. He used to play a urine prank on his friend. Since then, it
became a trend among his friends.
However,
his friends eventually play the revenge prank on him by replacing his shampoo
with urines. He felt weird with the shampoo as he accidentally tasted the
urine. His friends would make joke of his hair after that incident. But all of
them are open-minded so everyone just see it as a fun memory.

Sharing of Giddens Ko’s Secrets!
During the
press conference, the invited casts have also shared some of Giddens’ secrets. Megan said that she felt that Giddens was trying to express himself
more through the film by inviting a
lot of special guests for the bonus appearances! During all these bonus scenes,
it felt as though he’s trying to make fun of some prominent characters from
other movie.
Vivian Sung also shared
that Giddens likes to give away his
tissues to others as inspiration for the people around him. Bu Lusi on the other hand stated that Giddens will definitely be around the
set when they are filming scenes which have Vivian Chow in it!
Media Q&A:
Megan’s Abusi Matched Face with Lee Min-ho!
Media member
has asked Megan regarding her reaction towards others’ opinion that her
appearance in the movie resembles Korean artiste Lee Min-Ho.

Megan replied
that most people were surprised and thought that she is a Korean male artiste
in the movie. She personally took this comment as a compliment. She even
jokingly said that she has gained a prominent Adam’s apple after acting as
Abusi.
More info about the movie:
During 2011, Giddens Ko has turned his best-seller novel “You Are The Apple Of My Eye那些年，我們一起追的女孩” into a film. The film has received a positive reception from the audiences. Following that, Giddens has collaborated with 柴智屏 and used three years in preparing the filming of his next masterpiece from his trilogy of romantic novels, “Café Waiting Love” 《等一個人咖啡》.
The film was directed by Jiang Jin lin 江金霖. As anticipated by both the novel fans and the film fans, the well-loved characters Si-Ying 思萤, Ah-Tuo 阿拓, Café Owner 老板娘, Abusi阿不思 and etc are being brought to the screen. In addition, the goddess-like actress Vivian Chow 周慧敏 was invited to play the role as the老板娘. The other cast members include, Megan Lai赖雅妍, Vivian Sung宋芸樺, Bu Lu Si布魯斯, Pauline Lan 藍心湄 and etc.
In the movie, Vivian
Chow plays the role as the Café Owner for 《等一個人咖啡》 Café. The character is a quiet person and is drown inside the love of the past,
waiting for the person who has protected her, waiting for the person who has created
the special latte, “老板娘特调” with her. However, is she really waiting for
the person? Or did her heart just stuck at her own memories? Let’s find out
more in the cinema soon.
Vivian Chow said that the reason for her
to take part in the movie is because the script is humorous, plus the character
suits her very well. Most importantly, she only needs to take part in the
shooting for a few days. Currently, it’s very difficult for her to stay away
from home for too long. She also sings
the theme song for the movie 《等一個人咖啡》. This is her first time coming back for acting
and singing after 17 years of hiatus.

Short-haired Megan Lai plays as Abusi,
a tomboyish barista who can make any coffee the customer’s request. She
hopes that the café owner can smile again. She tries her best to learn how to make
the legendary “老板娘特调”!
Worth mentioning,
this time Giddens Ko & producer柴智屏 have casted newcomer artistes Vivian Sung and Bu Lusi as the iconic Si-Ying
and A-Tuo. Si Ying is a college
freshman who gets a part-time job at “ Café Waiting Love” coffee shop. She is a
very lively girl. Ah Tuo on the
other hand is a college senior who likes to make new friends and try out new
things in life.
Currently, “Café Waiting Love” has received very good reception from Hong Kong
and Taiwan. Hopefully it will receive a good result here in Malaysia too!
