Ever since Fala Chen returned to Hong Kong from Singapore to promote her new film, she is busy again with another job as a model in a fashion show. She admits that she has been earning a lot this year, "Other than earning money, working hard can also gain recognition from others. This is a better motivation than just simply earning money. (Does TVB take most of the money?) No, there is also Charmaine Sheh, she is in a lot of TV series, I know she earns a lot."

Fala Chen also reveals that during Chinese New Year she will be performing in the US, and will be visiting her parents as well. Even though she is not spending the the festival in Hong Kong, Fala still remembers to give out red pockets to the staff. When being asked whether she's giving out only one red pocket or two red pockets, she said, "Is there a difference? (If you're married, you should be giving out two!) I give out big red pockets (When are you going to be giving out two red pockets?) When I earn more money! (Marie Zhuge says that she will be receiving a to-be mother-in-law red pocket?) I don't think I need to respond what she says. "
