Fan Bing Bing, Vic Zhou, lonely hearts : who can understand how they feel ?


Source : Shanghai Times
Translated by little bee @ http://asianfanatics.net



Vic Zhou, who was the most "refined" of F4 appeared bearded and made many people speechless this time, this look made him appear old, but privately, Vic really likes this style, "Usually, when I don't have to work, ! I would be too lazy to shave and the lenght of my beard would depend on how long I can hide from my company's calls ! This time I didn't shave because my next character will be a musician, I'll need to look decadent, and to cultivate emotion, I stopped shaving some time ago, and this is the look I thought about by myself for this role !"

On the 6th of December, "The Last Night of Madam chin" aka "Jin Da ban" broadcasted on Dragon TV, this is the second piece of Fan Bing Bing'scompany, and also her first collaboration with Vic Zhou.
On the press conference, everyone were thoughtful and left the central place to Fan Bing Bing, and Vic was very humble but got pulled by "Fan Lao Ban (boss)" to sit beside her. Those two are currently single, thus work is for them the most important. Love being only a luxury christmas gift.


Vic Zhou, personification of Love ?

"Madam Chin" is Vic's first appearance in a Mainland production, to accomodate with this "little boyfriend"'s time slot, as the drama's producer and main actress, Fan Bing Bing even delayed the shooting and waited for him for 10 months !

In "Madam Chin" original version written by Bai Xian Yong, the role Vic Zhou is acting as, "Sheng Yue Ru", is a College student Chin Zhao Li is providing for, and only briefly appear, but in Fan Bing Bing's version of "Madam Chin" this role became a "returnee" and a very young man from a very wealthy family, and even share a very pure love with Chin Zhao Li, who will have many scenes such as suicidal jumping, cutting wrist, and kiss scenes.

About making such big changes Fan Bing Bing says bluntly that it was to expand Vic's scenes, "The original version is a very short novel, but the drama is 36 episodes long, so making changes was already very hard. To make every roles more full, not only Vic's scenes got changes, but all the other characters undergone very big transgformations, I think that it is a good direction, and it suits TV drama very well, and it is also an idea that the audience can accept."

Even if he acts as Fan Bing Bing first love, Vic still is a lady killer, every romances he had were spectacular, his on and off realtionship with Das still is remembered dearly by everyone. He got one rumor after another, but Vic never losen up his mouth to admit any, and persisted on the principle of not talking about his love life in a public scene.

When reporters were voicing doubts about his and Madam Chin's firsqt love to be "too experienced", Vic stuttered, not knowing what to say, but as Fan Bing Bing, who was beside him unrestrainly helped out, and saved Vic : "I also saw many netizens say they found it romantic, actually, every people point of view is different, so you don't need to explain, and you were born as the personification of love, you got shot by Cupid !"
The last sentence made Vic who was feeling awkward before leugh non-stop.

Igniting sparks with young director, Zaizai works all nighters without a single complaint

Source : hkheadline
translated by little bee @ http://asianfanatics.net



Vic Zhou (Zaizai) acts in the Taiwanese movie "Love you for 10.000 years" which will have the same low budget as "Cape N°7", having studied Cinema, the japanese director Kitamura Toyoharu( also known as Bei Cun Feng Qing北村豐晴)and the crew are all very young, with Zaizai, they all meddle well and have fun together; even though everyone is new in the Movie sphere, the preparation for the filming was done really well, and the cast had to come to the place to reheasr even before they started filming, Zaizai and guest star, actress Lei Hao 郝蕾 had been preparing for a scene in a bar, and they spent 3 hours just to study the script and dialogue together.

This movie is about Zaizai being a rocker; most of the scenes will occur in a bar, and almost every night will be spent filming, Zaizai has to start early and finish late, he state that the filming process is really hard but, to be able to work with such a young crew ignited many sparks; they would often gather to study the script and dialogue together, asked about his hopes for this movie, Zaizai frankly said that he only hope the audience will like it, that'd be enough. This time, his character will have a lot of "comedy" ingredients, and he wishes to successfully become a comedy actor.

Zaizai' s shady look difuses Masculinity

Vic Zhou, (Zaizai) stars in movie "Love you for 10.000 years" which got pointed as a sequel for "Cape N°7", his shady look was extremely eye-catching, a huge numbers of his fans from all over the world volunteered to be "extras", successfully making the crew save 300.000 NTD !

To act in the movie "Love you for 10.000 years", Zaizai said no to a New Year's event worth 5 Millions NTD his future all focused on expanding to the Movies circle, "Love" is about a japanese girl sent to Taiwan for her job and a Taiwanese Rocker who meet each other, the plot reminds the one on "Cape N°7" ; Zaizai's rocker look and Van Fan's "Ah Jia" in "Cape N°7" having 90% similarities.

Zaizai's role as a lost rocker, made him have to do many preparations even before the beginning of filming, First, he had many guitar lessons and had to learn how a rock singer performs, wanting his acting to be perfect, to accomodate the shady look, Zaizai had to comb his hair like a "hedgehog head", and even ketp a beard on purpose, wearing completly torn jeans and carrying a guitar on his back, after seeing him, many people praise him for looking very manly ; About "Love" being said as "Cape N°7" 's sequel, Zaizai frankly said that "Love" main point was that it wa s a Romantic Comedy, which is very different from "Cape N°7 ", each has its good points, he also hopes to act in some comedies, bringing a new feel to the audience.

Because in the movie Zaizai has to act as a rocker, they needed to film many open concerts scenes, Zaizai fans from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea volunteered to participate, in the end, more than a hundred Zaizai fans became his fans in the movie, even though the filming lasted more than 10 hours, they never complained, and successfully helped the crew to save 300.000 NTD fees for "extras".

Zaizai had started working now, in the movie and out of it, his mood is very good, he acted with the new actress whose role was a bartender, and to avoid uneeded rumors, he went to chat with the crew as soon as the scene was taken,and he even made kung fu moves from time to time when they were bored, being quite hilarious.

Zaizai hairs out to copy "Ah Jia"

"Zaizai" Vic Zhou Yu Min refused a New Year's Eve apparition that would have earned him about 5 Millions NTD to dedicate himself for the movie "Love you for 10.000 years", two nights ago, our newspaper spotted him with "chubby version of Bianca Bai" 加藤侑紀(Yuki Gato) filming together at the WuRi distillery, his look in this movie as a rocker also got exposed, bearded and with a hedgehog head, it is very different from his usual clean and handsome Idol look, from afar, he looked like Van Fan's "Ah Jia" from "Cape N°7".

Beard, hedgehog head, complete copy of "Ah Jia"

Zaizai in "Love You For 10.000 years" will act as a spiritless rocker, his look was quite rough. Very late two nights ago, we spotted him filming at a distillery, bearded, with a hedgehog head holding a guitar case, and wearing old torn jeans, a very "rocker" look ; as he got out of the break room, to start working, from afar, we could swear it was Van Fan's "Ah Jia" getting out from "Cape N°7 " ready to act in the sequel.

New movie will be a comedy, wants to become Taiwanese Stephen Chow

"Love" movie plot is about "a japanese girl who comes to Taiwan to work and a Taiwanese rocker..." the movie's female lead, 加藤侑紀(Yuki Gato) has also the same feeling as Chie Tanaka from "Cape N° 7" ; however "Love" movie will be a comedy, Zaizai coincidentally had the dream to become "Taiwanese Stephen Chow", he said he really wanted to act in a comedy, preferably with senseless humor like Chow's. Looks like when Zaizai said he wanted to be an "elite cowboy", the next thing was a comic.

Using the same room, not playing big shot


Zaizai first filmed in the distillery with the female lead, but because Yuki looked like a bigger Bianca Bai, many people mistook her for Bianca. Even though the two are in love in the movie, as soon as he heard "Cut" Zaizai immediatly jerked away, if not talking with the support cast, then he'd go to the break room. We also discovered that Zaizai and all the other cast members were using the same room, he did not for a seperate one, being very easygoing.

Conflict Between Jerry Yan and Vic Chou Complicates F4 Reunion Efforts


http://www.cpopaccess.com/2009/11/conflict-between-jerry-yan-and-vic-chou.html
credit thanx to XiaoPauli@asianfanatics.com for the translations

While members of legendary Taiwanese boy band F4 (JVKV) have been pursuing solo activities for several years, appeals for the group to reunite still remain prevalent. With news of Jiangsu Satellite TV inviting F4 to perform for their New Year’s Eve Concert spreading like wildfire, discussions are heating up once again.

In addition to the New Year’s Eve festivities, there have been rumors of the group reuniting for next year’s Spring Festival evening festivities. As of now, some members of the group have responded to such an invitation, but some have yet to reply back. Furthermore, since the schedule of the invitation has yet been set, chances appear slim of it occurring. There are currently problems with F4 getting back together to perform, as it appears that such a reunion trip may rest on Jerry Yan’s schedule at the moment. However, informed sources have recently conveyed hidden reasons in the difficulties in an F4 reunion.

It has been reported that an F4 reunion is the one trump card for the New Year’s Eve event, and the newest developments regarding the invitation for F4 to participate has remained tightlipped with the organizers, whom have stated that “they are still striving for it, but it is still difficult to determine F4’s schedule.” Yet, informed sources have reported that the statement provided by the organizers served only as pretext to the real reason, which is that Jerry Yan and Vic Chou no longer wish to perform on the same stage.

Contrary to what has been observed at the various events attended by F4 in recent years, the state of the group has often been one where not all members have been fully committed in participating, including news of Jerry Yan and Vic Chou’s slim changes of sharing the same stage.

Despite the fact that the four members of F4 have often demonstrated public displays of solidarity, the vast differences between what is publicly displayed and what actually occurs between the members are often heard in the news. One case involved Jerry Yan’s unwillingness to compromise on the release of CDs and DVDs from their 2006 concert in Hong Kong, which led to the loss of tens of millions of Taiwanese dollars in royalties. In another case when F4 was invited to go to Japan, the group arrived to the airport in separate cars, and then deliberately went into the same car afterwards.

While an F4 reunion is wished upon by many viewers, such a possibility has been complicated with the four members belonging to different management. It took three years to organize the four members’ schedules to sync for their 2008 concert in Japan, so while organizers are working hard to get F4 to participate in the New Year’s Eve festivities in good faith, time constraints may diminish the success of such participation.

When a reporter contacted a representative of the group organization, the representative did not deny a statement in regards Jerry Yan and Vic Chou making it difficult for F4 to reunite. He only expressed that while the organization has not received a clear response from F4, both sides are actively working hard at it, and are still seeking ways to further communications.

No Vic & Mark in Black and White Movie?

Source : cpopaccess
Credit thank : madelinepoh @ AF


Mark Chao, the co-lead actor for the massively hit Taiwanese drama “Black & White”, said today that if Vic Chou doesn’t want to be in the movie version of “Black & White”, then he doesn’t either. Chao went on to say, if there’s no “ruffian (black)”, then there’s no “Black & White.”Mark didn’t play the hero from that show today, but he did play the part as “Store Supervisor Mark” for a convenience store café, personally handing out cups of coffee to ten lucky people at the shop’s first day opening.

After winning “Best New Actor” at the Golden Bell Awards, Mark didn’t defend himself for the continuous negative press coverage he had been receiging, but instead gave a tearful speech during the ceremony. He later jokingly said “If I’m going to fake tears, then I’m also going to fake being handsome a bit.”

Mark also said, “In fact, I have no problems with people who strongly believe in themselves.” He later said that one person he cares about is Vic Chou. After the Golden Bell Awards ceremony, the two lead actors of “Black & White” have been keeping in contact by phone, MSN, and text messaging.

Plans for filming a movie version of “Black & White” are currently in the works. Chao said that before they shoot, he’ll watch the drama version again a 100 times. Regarding Vic turning down the role, Mark said, “If there’s no ruffian (black), how are you going to shoot “Black & White?” Outside sources said that if Vic doesn’t want to be in the movie version, then they’re thinking about removing the “black (ruffian)” part of the original drama’s name. Mark said that he was not aware of anything about that.

The Flot of new ZZ's film


Credit thank : Siewleng @ AF

From what one of the VIC fan posted at the news section,she mentioned that this is a youth comedy movie which fulled with happiness.The story is about a foreign Japanese student who was assign to come to Taiwan to work who have a destinated love(it started with enemy but turn to love in the end)with a pure Taiwanese rock and roll music singer(i think this must be Zai Zai...hahaha!)Both of them didn't fall in love at first sight which mean both didn't fall in love with each other when both meet for the first time.But somehow in an unlucky day,both have good feelings towards each other but very soon the Japanese student will finished her work and will be leaving Taiwan.Because the Taiwanese guy doesnt like each time give out promises like 'love her forever' or 'marriage' relationships...( i think the taiwanese guy dont like to promise anything if he knows the girl will go back Japan and he doesnt like to promise her with promises like he will wait for her forever in taiwan or engage first,he doesnt like this kind of relationships) So he sign a 'love you one hundred days' contract with the Japanese girl.This contract is after being together for one hundred days,both must agree to split up.Soon reaching one hundred days,then only both discover that during this period of love between two of them,both already indirectly give out true love towards each other.Both seems like doesnt want to split up but because of self-ego (both dont want to lose to each other because of their own face,they feel embarrassed if admit fall in love with each other and doesnt follow the contract rules)Both also doesnt want to be the first to break the promise/contract!

Zai Zai & Mark Chao's advertisement showdown sparks popularity competition

Translation: Sarah @ http://asianfanatics.net

After competing at the Golden Bell Awards, 'ruffian' Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) & 'hero' Mark Chao are about to face off again! Recently, Zai Zai's camera advertisement was released on televison & online and even the MRT has displayed a huge billboard, making it difficult not to see. And as for Mark Chao who seemed to have disappeared for a while, his human cut-out has been displayed outside stores and today, he will also make an appearance for his coffee advertisement. The 2 ads will be played on television frequently, and not only must the 2 compete for popularity, they will also be competing for who can sell more of their product.

Although Zai Zai lost at the Golden Bell Awards, his new camera advertisement, filmed at Sun Moon Lake gives off a very artistic feeling & texture. Promotions began with sending out large posters, online promotions, 3C pathway, and then they targeted the MRT. Recently, television stations have also been heavily broadcasting the ad. Zai Zai's manager expressed: "Everyone has commented about the fine texture, and Zai Zai himself is also very pleased with it."

Zai Zai received a 7-digit sum for the ad, but this is a small number compared to the potential hundred million dollars they may gain back in revenue. Zai Zai will also be holding a rally event, and currently they are arranging his schedule. Due to filming effects, in the ad, the already handsome Zai Zai gives off an even more handsome & manly appearance. And he expressed: "This is a must-have, our company is full of handsome men (Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Wu Zun also recently joined), so the advertisement has to be even more handsome."

After Mark Chao & his father Allen Chao filmed a coffee advertisement together, there were rumours that the father-and-son were not on good terms. Earlier, they declined Yu Mei Ren's invitation to attend her show. This ad will also be heavily broadcasted from today, and is already causing a hot topic amongst the public. Mark will also make an appearance today, and hot topics such as the 'Golden Bell curse' and his relationship with his father are bound to be the focus of attention, but this will also work to the advertisement's advantage. And with the 'ruffian' and 'hero' releasing ads at the same time, who will be more popular and who will be able to sell more of their product?

During the events, reporters asked Zai Zai if he would go to the cinema to show support for his ex-girlfriend's comedy movie, he expressed he's scared that his laugh isn't the same as other people and would probably be best that he waited until it can be rented.

Previously the media reported Da S and Hong Kong-er Louis Kuo had been secretly dating for a year due to filming together, the reporters asking what Zai Zai thought of it and he said "You guys have already said it's a rumour, rumours aren't true, it's not right to comment, her and I had truly dated and I will only wish her all the best."

In this series of charity events, it also includes a marathon, with the nickname "home" Zai Zai expressed he isn't a person that can run and is scared that he won't even be able to complete the 3 km, so he might not even turn up for the event.

Award for the Best Transformation : Zhou Yu Min

What is your impression of Zhou Yu Min? Is it still that sensitive and melancholic guy of few words called Hua Ze Lei? That must be 8 years ago before . Returning under the camera lens of Dir Cai once again, he is no longer the melancholic youth (young child) from past years who hung upside down on the horizontal bar. One turnaround and we see the complete transformation of Zaizai. It can be said that Zaizai Zhou Yu Min is the soul of . And the current him who will not raise a hand nor take any action when he sees girls, has transformed into an expert playboy with a smooth-talking tongue. But if you think that this is the entirety of the "ruffian" Chen Zai Tian, then you are wrong. When he is confronted with real feelings, he becomes earnest and shy. He uses an "I don't care" expression to disguise his inner heart and inner world which is totally different from ordinary people.

In this drama, Zhou Yu Min displayed his 9 years performance skills, giving his best performance for the role of "ruffian" Chen Zai Tian. Even high-profile director Cai Yue Xun gave him high evaluation, saying that Zhou Yu Min has broken away from the idol group and has entered the state of maturity as an actor.

I'm proud of him and happy to him for the news.

A step closer to the prince (the youngest of F4) who captured the hearts of all females over Asia with his super adorable smile

Vic Chou - the real side of a 25 year old


Vic Chou, a member of the super group F4, popular not only in Taiwan but in Asia as well, starred in Meteor Garden as Huazelei and made female fans all over Asia fell in love with him. He stole hearts with his large eyes, perfectly (my added adjective, hehe) proportioned face and melancholy expressions. He likes sleeping and eating and being the youngest of F4, is especially loved. Since spending 5 years in the profession, the 25-year old is now becoming more and more mature. In our first interview with Vic, let’s explore the charisma of this Hua Liu star.

Although he’s gorgeous, he has a forthright personality and comes across as very approachable and at ease. He is able to let anyone who meets him to be open and frank with him. Although Vic exudes a princely aura, he is down to earth and his favourite food is curry. Smiling shyly, “I received so much curry mix from fans from Japan I won’t be able to finish eating.” “What other Japanese food do you like?” Vic told us with a contented smile: “Roast meat is especially good, and oh, today when we arrived in Japan, I went shopping in a convenience store, and found that....อ่านไม่ออก is also very good. We had grilled eel rice for lunch today with our colleagues, I inadvertently swallowed a small piece of bone which got stuck in my throat, that was a bit uncomfortable but I’m all right now, not to worry.(smile)”

Vic, who has been straight forward and forthright during the interview interspersed with humorous responses, is affectionately referred to by fans as “ZaiZai”. Translated into Japanese, this means “little boy”.
This is what my grandmother called me when I was little. But I am already 25 years old. Although I may still be childish in certain aspects, I know I am an adult now, and I feel that I need to progress and mature.

So what is his personality like? He’s the youngest member of F4 and tends to be spoiled. When the four appear together in press conferences, he always manages to liven the occasion and atmosphere up with his smiles and jokes. And because of ZaiZai, other members of F4 can respond to reporters’ questions with relaxed and happy state of mind. “People around me tend to say I am able to liven up an occasion, in Chinese we usually refer to someone like this as..ตัวจีนอ่านไม่ออก(a person who is able to make people around him happy), and I have been referred to as a ตัวจีนอ่านไม่ออกtoo. Apparently ตัวจีนตัวเดิม..55 is a kind of food that can make people feel happy. Because I am the youngest of the 4, I can joke in interviews and be light hearted, and probably because of this, people tend to think of me as an adorable little brother.”

In addition to this innocent side, as an actor, his improvement is extensive and obvious. As widely known, when he entered the profession 5 years ago, he had no interest in the entertainment world, and was discovered by the producer of Meteor Garden coincidentally when he accompanied a friend to the audition, to become HuaZeLei.

In the beginning when I first entered this profession, I didn’t really have any goals to work towards as it was not something I had wanted to do in the first place. After Meteor Garden was aired, all of a sudden as if overnight, there was a lot of commotion around us. Thinking back, I felt as if I was at loss of what I should be doing (smile). If I can say something to the Vic then, I would tell him to be articulate with his dialogue.

As for Meteor Garden being broadcast in Japan again, zaizai blushes, drops his head and said “It’s a bit embarrassing; I somehow can’t bear to watch my performance”. Zaizai’s charisma comes from consistently treating people with sincerity and being genuine, unchanged even though he has already become a superstar. So which aspects would Zaizai prefer to be complimented on?

I have often received compliments on my looks and being cute/adorable, etc, these being more superficial aspects. Of course I am happy since people are sincere in their compliments. However I would prefer to hear people’s compliments about my acting, such as how I have acted very well in a certain scene.

Although he entered this profession with absolutely no prior training and foundation, Zai Zai is raising the bar on himself as an actor. And as a matter of fact, after Meteor Garden, Vic starred as the main character in Poor Prince, and he also showed his serious acting skills in Mars. As an actor, his improvement is obvious to all. Currently, Vic has a challenging role in Silence, which is being broadcasted on BS TV, as a young man with only 3 months to live. Being a drama series about a couple that fate has played a joke on, Zai Zai hopes that the series can show the intense belief about love. This leads to our interest for zaizai’s views on love that are consistent with his age.

What is love? This is a difficult question. I think it is about facing it with courage but this is not enough. I am not qualified to elaborate on the topic of love. (Smile) I think love is a topic that a life time may not be long enough to understand. Silence talks about obstacles to love, I am a person who dares to take on and face the obstacles around me. Even if it is not very romantic, I think some kind of obstacles to love may happen to anybody. I am a person who is loyal to my own feelings, and will not be influenced by opposing views around me. Other that this, I think it is important to be confident. If there is no confidence, everything will be difficult to achieve.

Ny aspiration is to be a responsible and reliable man

Although Vic chooses his words carefully, he still comes across as sincere and genuine with no pretence. We are deeply attracted by such a straightforward person. More importantly, his charisma is complemented by the masculinity that is increasingly emanating from him. During the F4 concert in HK this spring, as if wanting to be rid of his princely clean image, Zai Zai will show audience a sexy and bold performance of dancing off his clothes while he sings.

I admire men with marked individuality, very masculine. In terms of appearance, they should have telltale signs of age on their forehead and eyes. For the middle aged men, they don’t need to do anything except stand in front of the audience and they can exude their charisma. In terms of acting, my current exercise is how to project and express a mature image beyond my age through changes in inner expressions rather than through appearance.

Zaizai is concentrating on working concurrently on his debut movie and another drama series. So what are Zaizai’s dreams for the future?

I am actually quite greedy (smile). I want to try out all kinds of things. I want to challenge the roles that I have not played before. I want to play somebody who has been deeply pained, or try playing someone who is abnormal psychologically. Through books and reports, I know that these parts cannot be fully and effectively portrayed without the prerequisite good acting skills. So I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to take on this type of roles.

From his earnest and sincere attitude towards acting, I believe the day that ZaiZai can play this type of role will not be far. Lastly, in terms of goals as a grown man, Zaizai said a bit shyly:

First of all, I hope I can become an upright and responsible person. I hope I can be regarded as trusting and dependable by the women and everyone else around me. I will work diligently towards this goal.

Time is the most skilled thief in the world. The series
created the F4 fever, and in the twinkling of an eye, it was around 8 to 9 years ago. When the pretty boy era hasn’t completely passed, the extremely introvert Zai Zai, has unwittingly walked away farther and farther. But, you can see an actor named Vic Zhou Yu Min, who would in a cool manner chewing his gum from on the television until in the press conference, giving an unrestricted yuppie look. Recently, Vic Zhou and director Cai Yue Xun were in Guang Zhou to promote their latest work , while also celebrating CETV’s fifth anniversary. In this interview, Vic revealed his metamorphosis since he embarked on his career 9 years ago.



Zai Zai in acted as police who handled cases with his intuition, his character there was very “man.”



When being interviewed, Zai Zai spoke freely and frankly, and his expressions were quite amusing.

Once had the thought to muddle along with the contract
20 years ago, Zai Zai Vic Zhou was a small boy who lived in his own world. Every day when he got home, he would lock himself in his room watching movies or listening to music. When going to school, he felt uncomfortable seeing people walking to and fro, he would rather climb the wall to enter his school. Zai Zai’s career starting experience has that kind of unreal similarities compared to the other actors’. He was accompanying his friend to have a screen test, but he was the one being selected. At that time, he was a total nerd. When he was accompanying his friend for a screen test for , he was hiding in a trance in between dark stairs, and Angie Chai Zhi Ping had to coax and lie to him in assuring him to act as Hua Ze Lei. But Zai Zai in the beginning, who accidentally entered the entertainment circle, had no interest at all toward acting, he was indifferent even though he was called as the male ornament: “I don’t care whether people were calling me a male ornament, or that I depend on my good looks, doesn’t matter to me, because I really had no feelings.”

Zai Zai said that not long after he started filming , he once was on Matilda Tao’s show, and when the advertisement was on,
Matilda asked Vic to take some kind of a psychological test by asking him some questions, and after they finished, Matilda’s conclusion was: “The entertainment circle doesn’t suit you.” Zai Zai pondered over Matilda’s words, and finally confirmed: “Maybe the entertainment circle really doesn’t suit me.” He secretly calculated this, the contract was 3 years, but he’d been working for only 1 year, so at that time his biggest idea was “how to muddle along with the contract.” But after he got along with the other actors and seniors, he felt that his personality was truly accepted and understood, and unwittingly he managed to go on, “I’m very happy that I can stay here up until now. My inherent quality hasn’t changed, and it is life and working experiences that have made me mature a lot.”

Cai Yue Xun prophesied: Zai Zai is the next Tony Leung Chiu Wai
2 years after finished filming , Zai Zai was unable to let go the pretty boy image, not until in 2004, where he played as twins who suffered from dissociation of personality in Cai Yue Xun’s series . He was able to make a breakthrough through his performance in the dark idol series, he also thinks that starring in the series marked a turning point in his career: “I filmed after , and then l realized that I was dealing with the issue of being an actor, and I started to ponder over how to make plans for myself. When I was filming , I was determined to be an actor.” In , Zai Zai played as a policeman who handled cases with his intuition. He had to look handsome, while he also had lots of psychological and action scenes to film, and for him, this performance of his is his third model in his acting career. He also claimed that when filming, he would use some improvisations. Although he would still stick to the script in the order of the filming, but when the filming was officially started, people would realize that suddenly he’s using different methods to act, “At that time, there would be 2 kinds of powerful results. The first one was the actor who saw this kind of acting would laugh, the second one the cameraman sometimes thought that it was too funny, when he’s replaying the scene, all of us would notice that the camera was trembling.”

Having been in the showbiz world for 9 years, Zai Zai’s change is the most evident compared to the other F4 members. From being a pretty boy, he gradually changed into an actor who has self-control and is detailed. His face is not that delicate now, you cannot play the tricks of pinching his face to make water come out of it anymore. Instead, there’s a vague smoke and dust of experiences and vicissitudes of life. Witnessing Zai Zai’s 9 years of maturity and “aging” process, the habitually so-called father of Taiwanese idol drama, Cai Yue Xun, has good expectations of him: “If he continues to walk along on this road expanding himself, I believe that one day Zai Zai would become like Tony Leung Chiu Wai, the former will have the capability of the latter. Tony Leung is also someone who lives in his own world, an extemely quiet and introvert person. Only these kinds of people who can try lots of things and have lots of imagination.

Southern Metropolis Entertainment Weekly (SMEW) X Vic Zhou Yu Min
I will say no if I don’t want to do it

Zai Zai’s metamorphosis history: From a pretty boy to a handsome actor



In 2001, in , he was the melancholic Hua Ze Lei, while in real life he was actually an introvert boy who came from Yi Lan.



In 2004, in , Zai Zai acted as twins who suffered from disassociation of personality, and his performance there was a breakthrough. He started to have plans for his acting career at that time.



In 2009, in , Zai Zai acted as a ruffian policeman. He’s a big brother in the acting world who takes cares of the newbies well outside filming.

SMEW: What kind of temperament do you think you have, and how do you adjust your psychology?
Vic Zhou: My temperament is unpredictable, to others, also to myself. At one time, I can be very gloomy, so silent that everyone will think that in my territory, all of my appearances are black, very murky. But sometimes, when I’m being dark, I can also have this sudden idea to tell a joke that makes people think that I’m an eccentric person. I’m very happy that in all these years, I’ve been able to stick to my characters, as I have the guts to say no, if I don’t want to do a thing; I’ve done it.

SMEW: You’ve also said that you like to act old, is it true?
Vic: Yes, I hope my youth will pass quickly, as I want to turn 30 quickly, because I think when men are turning 30 years old, it’s the time when they become real men, that charisma that those man have are hard to imitate. I will try not to remember about the circulation of time, as after a couple of years, I will turn 30.

SMEW: While filming , did you give some suggestions to Mark Zhao You Ting?
Vic: I’ve once seen him being in an inexplicable doubt; he didn’t know whether he should listen to his seniors, or just use his own method to present his role. I just told him that, it is their own business, if you tell them to act in a certain way, they will do so, but your role Ying Xiong, it’s your role, you have the say how to act it, it’s your business. As long as the director doesn’t have any complaints, everyone’s opinions are just suggestions, I think this is a more powerful way to act.”
