(Press release July 14)
Wanlop Rungkumjad, a Thai actor who won the "Best Actor" award at the 27th Taipei Film Awards, unexpectedly became an instant hit due to his heartfelt speech and cute reactions at the awards ceremony. With his popularity rising, the movie "White Dog" starring him opened additional screenings last weekend, which caused a sensation as soon as it went on sale. Not only were the tickets sold out, but many fans were unable to buy tickets and shouted for more screenings! Spot Huashan Cinema also took advantage of the opportunity to launch a limited ticket package, which also includes the "Our Profile" poster designed by director Zeng Weiliang, inspired by Wan Luo's figure in the film. It was snapped up by fans as soon as it was launched, once again proving Wan Luo's high popularity in Taiwan and the audience's enthusiastic support for "White Coat Cang Dog".

Wan Luo, who came to Taiwan for the third time, was still deeply fascinated by this beautiful Formosa. He stayed there for nearly a week. Although his daily schedule was tight and his promotional activities were full, he still took advantage of his free time to explore everywhere. He was curious about everything in Taiwan. Not only did he visit the fish market in person to browse the fish and goods, he also drove to Keelung with the director and the main creative team to make a pilgrimage to the "Shu Qi Bridge", a must-visit attraction in the hearts of movie fans. When asked why he had to go to Keelung during his visit to Taiwan, Wan Luo smiled and said, "Because Hou Hsiao-hsien's Millennium Mambo left a very deep impression on me, this pilgrimage is like going back to the age when I first fell in love with movies." These words fully reveal his love for movies, and the memories of that day are an important and precious part of Wan Luo's visit to Taiwan: "Even if I didn't win the award in the end, that night would still be a very beautiful and unforgettable memory for me." In addition to being fascinated by movies, he is also very good at and persistent in sports. He even promised that next time he comes to Taiwan, he hopes to go hiking and camping in the mountains of eastern or central Taiwan to experience the beauty of Taiwan's natural scenery.
Wan Luo, who has a background in Le Cordon Bleu cooking, felt like he was in heaven when he walked into the fish market. He could not hide his excitement when he saw the wide variety of fresh fish and various mullet roe. He exclaimed in surprise, "The fish here is so fresh! The mullet roe is so cheap!" Although he felt a little sorry that he could not cook this time, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! I will be back soon anyway!" He regards Taiwan as his second home and even mentioned the close relationship between Taiwan and Thailand. Differences between countries: "What impressed me most about Taiwanese people is that they are all very sincere and willing to accept different voices." After winning this award, he said: "I believe that many Taiwanese people did not know who I was or what I had played at first, but they were willing to give me a chance to become an actor from Thailand. That sincerity deeply touched me." His love for Taiwan is revealed between the lines.
Talking about the changes brought about by the Taipei Film Festival, he said frankly: "Taiwan is the place where I was reborn, and the Taipei Film Festival is more like a new life for me." Since Wan Luo won the Best Actor Award, "White Dog" has caused a wave of movie-watching craze, and more people have seen the fundraising activities of the film and charity groups. In this regard, Wan Luo said emotionally: "I am really grateful to everyone who supports our fundraising plan. This movie mentions many bitter questions about life, which may not be easy to answer, but I believe that it allows us to see: even if the lights are dim and the world is dark, there is still a light in our hearts. In the lowest moments, we can still be gentle and choose to believe in the goodness of human nature." He finally spoke softly to the Taiwanese audience: "May we all be that light, illuminating others and showing the warmth and beauty of human nature." He invited the audience to join this "uncompromising gaze".
