Joe Chen Qiao-En and Peter Ho Yun Tung earlier officially joined Filmko. According to Filmko, as early as two years ago the company has been in touch with both. At the time Qiao-En focused on television. At the end of last year she decided to switch to the Mainland and the big screen. Since she and her former management company parted ways peacefully, she was able to work with Filmko. As for Ho Yun Tung who always had a dream to direct, since several years ago he has been looking for the right company to work with. Filmko last year opened a branch in Taiwan. He discovered that Filmko was willing to try fresh topics and thus they decided to unite in less than two meals.
Reportedly Filmko's fantasy epic THE MONKEY KING (DAI LAU TIN GUNG) also helped the contract signings. Two years ago when the film was brewing, Qiao-En and Ho Yun Tung have already decided to play Princess Iron Fan and Erlang Shen. Thus THE MONKEY KING was a welcome gift for them. As for their future direction and development, Filmko said that Ho Yun Tung already had very successful attempts and experience as a producer. The company also hoped to be able to fulfill his director dream. Qiao-En hoped through more excellent film characters and big films to create her big screen image.

Peter Ho and Joe Chen will be acting in Chinese film 「大鬧天宮」together with various Hong Kong big actors, and both of them have taken on a different form of collaboration with Filmko Entertainment. Peter Ho will have at least 1 big film every year and also the possibility of fulfilling his dreams of being a director. Joe Chen will hand her endorsement, event rights in China to Filmko Entertainment and the company can help to arrange for movies for her too.
Peter and Joe both have outstanding performances in idol dramas and thus gained the interest of many different management companies in China and Hong Kong. After Peter worked with Zhang Ziyi in movie 「非常完美」, 5 or 6 movie companies approached him and after serious considerations, he chose to work with Filmko whose plans are similar to his. Filmko hopes that Peter will be able to focus his acting on the movies in the future and for dramas, depending on the quality of scripts, he will take on 1 or 2 per year to prevent over-exposure. They will arrange for him to star in a big production every year and also cater some movies directly for him. Earlier, Peter produced and directed "Summers' Desire", building a reputation for himself and he has aims to move towards directing. Filmko will help him achieve this dream as well.
Idol drama queen Joe Chen will be acting in 「大鬧天宮」 as Princess Iron Fan, having numerous scenes with Arron Kwok, two times winner of Golden Horse Award, who is acting as the Buffalo Demon King. She will still be under 「雙城娛樂」for her management rights but for China events, she'll be working with Filmko and movies arranged by Filmko will have priority considerations, aiming to balance both China, Taiwan and Hong Kong market.
