Director's Film Debt Exceeds 100 Million, Peng Chia-chia Still Dreams of Directing

(Central News Agency reporter Hung Su-tai, Taipei, April 14th) Veteran entertainer Peng Chia-chia has been deeply mired in debt in recent years. He and Cheng Chin-yi recently appeared on the program "Sit Down and Chat" and rarely discussed their personal debts. He stated that he is still very persistent about being a director, and even though his previous baseball films caused him to incur hundreds of millions in debt, he still wants to be a director if he has the chance in the future.

Xiao Zhen, Huang Jia-qian, and Huang Deng-hui jointly host the new program "Sit Down and Chat." This episode welcomed musical genius Cheng Chin-yi, Peng Chia-chia, and Hsu Hsiao-shun. As good friends, they talked about their life stories. Peng Chia-chia shared his mental journey of being in debt in recent years through a press release. He admitted that although he has played many roles in his life, his deepest obsession is still the "dream of directing," even though his past three baseball films caused him to incur hundreds of millions in debt.

Peng Chia-chia said that at that time, he always wanted to be recognized, so he stepped into the directing world. He choked up and said, "The confidence I had back then that I could do it actually killed me, because I didn't treat money as money," which led him into a vicious cycle of debt. But even now, Peng Chia-chia still does not give up his dream of directing. "There is still a chance to be a director step by step." These words made Cheng Chin-yi, who was beside him, "leave in anger," and he angrily shouted, "If you say it again, I want to hit him!"

As for Peng Chia-chia's debt repayment progress, he said that there are now specialists managing it, and he doesn't know how much is left. "When I return to the pitcher's mound, that will be the day when everything is complete."

The new reality interview program "Sit Down and Chat" will be broadcast from the 6th, every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM on Sanlih E-Television. (Editor: Li Heng-shan) 1150414
