The Doze Niu Chen-Zer directed new film LOVE will open next Friday.  The film company two days ago first released a book.  The director could not put the book down.  LOVE will participate in this year's Berlin Film Festival Panorama segment, the director's second film to participate other than MONGA.  Niu Chen-Zer expected to go to Berlin with the cast on the 15th.  So far only Mark Chao (Chiu Yau Ting) has been confirmed.  Ethan Juan due to military service could not attend.  Actresses Ivy Chen, Amber Kuo, Vicki Zhao Wei, Shu Qi and others were still in negotiation.  The director hoped for Zhao Wei and Shu Qi to be able to attend the most.

Yuen King Tin earlier finally reported for military service.  The director was very happy for him, but his heart also ached for all the pressure that Siu Tin had to endure during this period.  Siu Tin was accused of "dodging service", the director again clarified for Siu Tin and said that Siu Tin had no way to decide his reporting date.

Siu Tin earlier said that his girlfriend Tiffany Hsu due to work could not see him off, but later reportedly his girlfriend was waiting in the car in advance and they went to Taichung together.  Some even said that Siu Tin's car drove straight into the military camp and he was again under suspicion of special privilege.  Later the military said that everything was applied for according to rules, the arrangement was made only because the military did not want Yuen King Tin to be the target of the media.  In addition, all reporting men must leave their vehicles at the gate, have their temperature take to confirm that they did not have a fever before they walked into the camp.  Siu Tin however did not do so; the military reiterated that Yuen King Tin's car occupants were already confirmed in the camp, the car was permitted to enter to avoid a media circus.
