When Ekin arrived to help with the store opening ceremony many fans began to repeatedly shriek for him. While he was being interviewed Ekin acknowledged that his own purchases of luxury goods we not at all excessive, in fact he didn't regard luxury goods as important, but now we come to talk about it a name brand watch to a man is quite important, but he believes that comfortable clothes are the most important.
Ekin indicated that currently he was occupied with publicity for his latest movie 《飞沙风中转》 Once A Gangster. In the movie he once again plays the part of a gangster. Ekin explained that the characters mood was lukewarm, he doesn't want to be part of the gangster world. Ekin was a little emotional, "This movie is really not at all like the Young and Dangerous Movies at all, it doesn't tell the story of some dark killings, but is more like a black comedy. A person's age changes and that is out in front of you. The original movies are already 14 years before, and people say I have changed tremendously, perhaps it is because a person gets older, and has many rich experiences, a person becomes more mature, indifferent certainly. Ekin also revealed that his own schedule was packed. In the last half year he will film a romantic theme movie, which he was looking forward to.
