When we were recording this video, Chen Bo-lin did not put on any makeup, he was proud of this. When he talked about his fans, he became a chatterbox , "Love yourself more, be better to your self, it's more important to enrich yourself!" Chen Bo-lin really warmed Bazaar Sister. You have better take a look at the video.
Bolin's Killer Glance.
He is already no longer the "Da Ren Ge" that we were familiar with nor "Blue Gate Crossing's" Zhang Shih Hao, someone who has been separated from us for quite some time. The 2017 Chen Bolin, when he saw us from afar, greeted us with a warm smile. He makes people feel comfortable around him, his emotion or his little actions, is always related to taking care of those around him. While in conversation with him, you will feel, he is not someone who you can decipher from a short glance, he is artistic, multi faceted, and enriched. Regardless of whether it is "Bad Guys Must Die" or "The Continent", every character that he was engaged in was charming.
"Indeed, I filmed a lot of movies, I met a lot of roles. Unconsciously, you can no longer differentiate whether you input yourself in the role, or the role inputs into you. Even in my normal life, sometimes the character comes out, my logic has more selection and judgement!" He said this with the nice tone of a Taiwanese accent.
When he plays a musical instrument, he looks really handsome~
Besides being an actor, he is a film investor, his investment in “Back to 20” was extremely profitable. He has a talent agency, he is his own boss, has so much hobbies ,even to the extent of designing a beer bottle's logo. He love music, plays the guitar and piano, design costumes, he is just open to anything! He felt a bit sheepish.
“ Actually, the things I want to do is even more than this, those are my hobbies , not work, so I can really enjoy them”
“Don’t you want to surf the waves with Bolin”
With his “Literary Heart” , Chen Bo-lin has a fondness for life’s atmosphere. Of course, he works while he plays. Both with flexibility and stability , make no mistake about that. For example, in 2016, he wasn’t too busy but in “Monster” and “We are in Love” , both were very special : It was his first time in a Korean drama, and his first time in a reality show. “ It’s like taking a risk, but also very natural.”
However, Chen Bo-lin has a passion for vacations.
”I love those impromptu travels. Those that with just a backpack , you just go. Like I've been to Europe, Thailand, Japan, Korea and Bali!” This time with the Bazaar Team , in Bali’s sunshine, warm breeze and waves, Chen Bo-lin slowly recalls his own memories of traveling.
“My vacations typically will not have too much planning, if you plan to early, it’s like a fixed script, like you want to act a movie! It’s like you are given rundown, today this is what we are going to do… on the flip side, I like to reach a destination, experience it, observe, and be agile in making plans.”
It’s like you have a sharp radar, vacation to Chen Bo-lin, whether it is in a city, by the sea, in a desert or wherever, it is about enjoying a variety, be engaged in a variety of places.
Go to your heart’s full content, replenish your experience.
Within instagram, Chen Bo-lin has a high popularity. Because what you see , is not someone who treats himself like a superstar. An internet spoof selfie or a literary quiet type, you can see both characters there. “I can walk for two hours, at my own will. I like to travel alone enjoy time alone, but it's different from being lonely, take care of myself, talk to my self, move with freedom”
Even with a mask, he is handsome, reminds Bazaar sister of “Kakashi”
Note : (Kakashi Hatake is a masked Japanese anime)
Compared to other popular superstars, Bolin said humorously
“No, I hope everyone do not know who I am forever, I am not desperate to proof myself, or explain myself. Those things, someone who is fated with me will be able to know.”
All the while, this is what he insists on.
That is why he can say “ I do not need to yearn for freedom, because I’ve always been free”
“From the start, someone noticed me on the road and asked me to act. Until now, I realize in the entertainment field , it's concept cannot be generalized.It is not what you see on the surface. Your intention of being an actor cannot be only about getting awards or being popular. That is why to be an actor, you need to be in good movies, ensure the audience understand the story through us.” He has seen this so thoroughly, no wonder Chen Bo-lin is someone who gets so flavorful the more you see him.
From young he was a low key and introverted child. Those years, Chen Bo-lin only love to play basketball, play games or paint at home. “Crayons, watercolors and painted whiteboards, my old house has many of those drawings I did as a child” This has made an impact to him until now. At present , when he travels, Chen Bo-lin enjoys art trips. Eating good food along the way is something he cannot let go of.
The most wonderful trip in his heart sounds simple.
“Walk quietly, drinking coffee at the side of the road, relax, walk or read a book. Of course, if you can book the world’s hardest to book restaurant and eat that for a week, then it is better”
Sure enough, on gourmet food, this is not a challenge , it is something you can spend the whole life talking about.
Of course, if there are friends that come afar, whether it is at his home in taiwan or while shooting in Mainland China, Chen Bo-lin likes to travel with them in a group. There is no purpose, it is very natural and friendship can inadvertently grow between them. “For me, it is important that my friends are having fun.”
Having walked through many roads, travelled with friends, family, by himself, with the person he loves.. to Chen Bo-lin he said “ These experiences are completely different but makes me feel very good” .
When he travels with his family, he is willing to be a good boy, meeting all his family requirements. “Because members of my family, they are older, they may not want to walk all the time; and with friends of course, it is fun-oriented. A lot of walking, playing and drinking”
With his attitude towards travel, you can see he is quite flexible in life.
“Drinking a cup of memories, Bazaar Sister gives full score”
Enjoying himself to his heart’s content, Chen Bo-lin’s charm is related to the fact that he will suddenly give you a surprise. For example, we asked him “ How many times have you come to Bali?” His answer is “I do not know how many times, but at least 10 times”
My god! We really didn’t know Chen Bo-lin has such quiet deep love for Bali.
Momo gives Bobo a piece of art.
Actually, when we watched “We are in love”, we already know the last time Chen Bo-lin came to Bali was with Song Ji Hyo where they had the perfect date.
“That is why today, when I came here for a photoshoot, I have a special feeling. Once the plane landed, I feel that I actually said I am on a holiday… but not right, I still have to work a bit. I will think back on that time, and still feel at that time it was so interesting.” he elaborated.
Although Taiwan is also an island but Bali has a different temperament that attracted Bolin to repeatedly visit it. Bali with its relaxing, clear sea, romantic atmosphere rich in mountains, ocean, Indonesian culture and charming scenery.
“Everytime I come here, I feel so comfortable. I cannot say out why”
When night falls he said “ You see! A big moon at my side!” The moon shines at the sea bringing silver fragments to light. Chen Bo-lin and all of us were so attracted by it.
Then suddenly he breaks the silence with a “What the hell?” sentence .
“Do not point your fingers to the moon ! Your ears will fall out !”
Well , in addition to being a clean and tiny Virgo, a warm person that takes care of people we found another side of Chen Bo-lin - An incurable “cheeky" alien.
“Of course, the main reason to come to Bali is because the sea.” In that final second, he finally came back to his original self. In Bali , he enjoyed the waves, the moonlight, the forest, all sorts of water sports - surfing, diving. What truly is Chen Bo-lin’s enjoyment - it is a comfortable, easy time, basking in the enjoyable life’s experience.
