Fan added she had spoken some Malay in the movie Mother Bumi (2025), directed by Malaysian director Chong Keat Aun.

To prepare for her role, Fan shared she learned to speak six languages, including Hokkien and Malay, for the film.

According to Oriental Daily, Fan said she has met many Malaysian directors and acknowledged the talent in the local film industry. She also said Melaka was a great setting for movie productions due to its scenic and cultural backdrop.
She recently congratulated director Zhang Jián for winning the Best Screenplay at the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival for the movie Cradle of Mortals/Pavane for an Infant (2024). The film directed by Chong Keat Aun is a Malaysian-Hong Kong co-production.
