Zai Zai Zhou Yu Min-whole body painted with oil paint reminds only leave important part of the body clean.
In order to break in the procession as an actor,Zai Zai no longer remember as a guy with noble prince charming looks as he in TVBS-G “Black & White” to turn hostile goes down in the world the tramp with whole body and face being sprinkled with oil paint but because the make-up artist was shy,Zai Zai say "Only leave the important part clean"
When “Black & White” broadcast,receives quite high praise and now even CTV want to broadcast the drama.In the play Zhao You Ting,KingOne performance was outstanding,Zai Zai also no longer is the famous noble upper class prince charming,this time act as PiZi Chen Zai Tian but because his girlfriend was killed in an explosion,he disappeared but not only become a tramp but also suffers hunger and cold and even rob fast food shop.
Zai Zai this time having to change himself to became a ugly tramp look alike appearance have tried many times in getting the best tramp look that suits him,Director Cai Yue Xun paid hundreds of thousands to invites the special make-up artist from Hollywood,each time the make up takes around 3 hours.But after completing can only maintain for 4 hours otherwise because of the face temperature,the make up start melting.Zai Zai skin originally is sensitive so before the shooting because of the long working hours and stress,his face become tofu painted face(siewleng:-not sure of this)Because the make up kept melting,adjustment on the lighting have been adjusted many times even having to use glue to paste the mold directly on the face again.Zai sweat a lot because of the stuffy face.
Zai Zai body and clothes splashes with oil paint but as soon as Dir Cai looked Zai through the camera lens,he was surprise to see why Zai important part of the body so clean?After that he only realised that the make up artist is a female student and feel embarrassed to cover Zai important part with oil.At the end Zai himself who does the finishing parts on his body.(p.s. if i am her,i will be shy too LOL!)
When the shoot about to take place,Cir Cai worried that Zai might feel embarrased to come out so didn't ask him to come out the scene until the shooting starts but out of his surprised to see Zai himself took the initiative ahead of the time and run over the shooting scenes and squats in the darkness dirty roadside,one hand inside the rubbish bin trying to adapt himself the feeling of being a tramp.(p.s i am super proud of Zai as being a professional actor willing to explore every single scenes himself.Imagining Zai a famous idol turn himself into a dirty tramp and really willing to let go his idol image and made himself become ugly.This is what a true prefessional actor must have willing to adapt to the changes need by director and not always keeping his/her idol look all the time.My solute for Zai)
In order to make Zai Zai fans completely couldn't recognize Zai at all,the wonderful part is because that day Zai have another schedule work to do so couldnt make it on time so the intelligently him ask Shou Jie Kai to be his substitutes.As usual whole body and face being splashed with oil paint wearing the same clothes as Zai wore as the tramp.Now wait for the drama to broadcast to see whether audience able to differenciate who is Zai Zai and who is Shou Jie Kai?

The young young childhood self-closing acknowledged that once contracted the melancholia data source: Times information 2009.04.10
[Chinese Times red plum fragrant/Taibei reported] After the young young makes a debut, namely is passed on repeatedly the melancholia institute painstakingly, was recorded the other day the culmination "Shen Chunhua LifeShow", because he spoke frankly once the dreary childhood to suffer from the melancholia, “I was the melancholy patient, went see a doctor, I was very pessimistic, will erupt facing the pressure.”But now, he to own life determination, but is self-confident.
The young young refers to the course of treatment, “doctor wants me to pile the building block, I think am very bored, they must test my logic probably.”Facing the childhood recollection, he said that after father and mother divorce, mother leaves home, he the self-closing is not henceforth joyful, as soon as but the semblance loads with ease, goes home to resist 絕 and daddy speaks, “one day in the school playground, teacher asks him: 'young young you fortunately?'I collapse on the scene cry.”

Director Cai:
35:40 I feel he was prepared.
35:42 That is, this time
35:43 before he came to film 'Black & White',
35:44 he was completely
35:45 prepared and ready.
Hostess:
35:46 In what aspects did he show?
Director Cai:
25:48 His acting skills had become very matured.
35:50 He had matured.
Hostess:
35:51 So abstract, for the viewers, can you
35:51 be more specific for them to understand?
Director Cai:
35:53 Let me put it this way. His past performances
35:54 were more like an idol.
35:56 The idol drama for young people.
35:58 His acting was more one-dimensional,
36:00 devoted to love, melancholy,
36:02 and looked like an idol. That was enough.
36:04 When he came to film 'Black & White'
36:06 he had a unique character,
36:08 completely different from his past roles.
36:10 He was playing a role with comical effect.
36:12 Moreover, the character was complex and multi-dimensional.
36:14 When he came and filmed the series,
36:15 I think he played the comic parts very well.
36:18 Taiwanese artists very often turn comedy into farce.
36:21 A little more would have been over.
36:23 A little less would have been none.
36:24 He was able to control it very precisely.
36:26 And, he has created, for
36:28 the Pi Zi in the 'Pi Zi Ying Xiong',
36:30 the very 'Pi' side of him.
36:31 A side of him people have never seen before.
36:33 He has delivered an excellent performance.
36:35 Moreover, his matured acting performance
36:36 makes you feel he wasn't acting.
36:40 Neither a child, nor a youth,
36;43 it is like, for example,
36:44 Tony Leugh in his early days.
36:46 They make you fell they are actors.
36:48 His performance doesn't feel raw and unpolished.
36:50 It won't interfere with whatever you're watching.
36:51 When you watch them performing,
35:52 you don't feel they're acting.
36:54 You're attracted to them.
36:55 This is the changes his maturity has brought.

01:54 He is the dreamboat of numerous girls.
01:59 But, when asked of what is his ideal partner,
02:00 at the moment, he doesn't have much idea.
Zai:
02:03 At present I
02:05 really feel there isn't any
02:09 particular kind of girl
02:11 that I can really describe
02:13 about what she actually attracts me.
02:17 I've become more focused.
02:30 I'm so busy with filming everyday.
02:23 My work schedule is fully booked.
02:26 However, With such a full schedule
02:28 I still want to have time to relax.
02:32 I don't have time for the other half.
02:34 Neither do I have the opportunity to think
02:37 what kind of person my other half will be.
Zai:
03:22 I'm afraid if I try to assimilate
03:23 traits of some other successful artists
03:26 and make them become part of me,
03:27 then I'll be just a substitute for him.
03:29 So, I just said
03:31 how about letting me use my own methodology
03:32 to make the PiZi character come alive.
Chun Ning Chang:
03:25 Once again I see a different Zaizai
03:27 because, how do I put it,
03:40 his role is unique.
03:41 I think this role fits him well,
03:43 that is, a very good-looking and yet mischievous guy.
03:48 Also, his character is quite cute.
03:51 The director says it is what he is.
03:53 As a matter of fact, it is a part of Zaizai.
reporter:
03:54 Create an acting style of his own.
03:58 Zai is anxious to rid of the burden of an idol.
04:00 His intention is very clear.
04:02 He has been in the show business for 8 years.
04:03 Although he know what it is like to be super hot,
04:07 he has also been badly blasted.
Zai:
04:10 For example when we went to the various big
awards ceremonies,
04:14 it was always the same. Whether it was rumored
04:17 or people's actual attitudes towards us,
04:19 you knew how other people felt.
04:21 The look in their eyes.
04:22 You know what I mean.
04:25 Oh F4... Win an award.
04:27 Um, how do you do?
04:29 They didn't remember you afterwards.
04:31 They didn't think of you as anything, either.
reporter:
06:29 Zaizai's handsome appearance and his quiet temperament
06:30 closely resembled the manga character.
06:33 However, at the time, he didn't have any acting experience.
06:36 When he opened his month, he spoke Chinese with a Taiwanese accent.
06:39 It caused the director headache.
Director Cai:
06:41 It was a very noticeable problem with him.
06:46 But we couldn't do anything.
06:47 Because he looked so much like the character and was suitable for the role,
06:50 we'd rather make it part of his characteristic.
06:52 Moreover, he was working hard to change it.
06:54 He kept practicing.
07:13 Let them get used to acting.
07:15 Let them understand what's acting.
07:17 Because they didn't have time to learn what that was about.
07:20 Within a very short period of time, immediately they had to
07:21 be in front of the equipment and perform.
Zai:
07:34 I didn't know what was acting.
07:35 Neither did I know why I wanted to be an artist.
07:38 It was all because of what my mom said to me.
07:40 You could give it a try.
07:41 Anyway, they had found you.
07:44 So she told me to do as a part-time job. Meteor Garden.
07:48 I came with a mentality that I was doing a temp job.
Zai:
08:07 Some media friends
08:09 write untrue reports
08:11 or make outrageous guess out of thin air.
08:13 I feel that I don't need to be nice with you.
08:14 Because I know even though I smile,
08:17 these paparazzi reporters would still make up stories about me.
08:19 You know what I mean.
08:20 I may as well just not meet you
08:22 So, I don't mistreat myself.
08:23 You're just pretending with me, aren't you?
08:25 I'm already doing acting on my job.
08:27 I don't need to act with you after work.
08:28 Why do I need to bother with you?
08:43 Actually, I have never
08:45 got used to the media
08:51 At that time, it was because my mom
08:54 told me you weren't doing it as a profession.
08:56 Mom told me I was just doing it as a short term job.
08:58 How did I know it would have become like this.
09:00 That was how I felt.
09:02 I really had no idea it would turn out like this.
09:03 It was like now I had to take this route.
Zai:
11:07 I thought it was only acting.
11:09 It wasn't. When you became famous
11:10 you need to release albums
11:11 you need to publish photo albums
11:12 you need to hold concerts.
11:13 you have to do anything.
11:15 you need to do a world tour.
11:16 So, people will get to know you,
11:17 people will go crazy for you.
11:18 Wow, is that so? But I didn't want it.
11:21 Because I didn't know what I was doing.
11:22 I only felt
11:23 these were just things with extra values.
11:27 I wasn't happy.
11:28 I only felt
11:29 the four of us were together every day,
11:32 shooting commercials.
Chun Ning Chang:
13:32 It was the director.
13:34 It was because later he
13:35 wanted us in the last scene
13:37 to go back,
13:39 filming the memory of our past.
13:41 He said you two could decide how to act.
13:42 Then he said
13:43 you could play by chasing each other.
13:46 After he started to shoot a bit.
13:47 we looked at the tape.
13:48 He said he felt there could be something more.
13:53 Then, every time he
13:54 went to look at the tape,
13:55 he would say there could be something more
13:57 but he wouldn't tell you
13:58 what he really wanted.
14:00 As a matter of fact, when you heard of it,
14:01 you knew the director
14:02 simply wanted a kissing scene
14:02 but he wouldn't say it.
Zai:
14:24 I once
14:26 imaged that I would get marred at 25.
14:27 Now I started to image.
14:29 A while back,
14:30 I started to image I would get married by 30.
14:32 But I've found out all these thoughts are useless.
14:34 If you don't have something concrete
14:37 to be recognized by others
14:38 and to prove Your value,
14:41 people will always think your prospect is not good.
14:45 No body will expect
4:47 you to be good at any role.
14:50 For both parties involved,
14:51 whether you can protect her,
14:53 or you can keep14:55 a good long-term marriage,
14:56 or you can be a good husband,
14:58 or you are matured enough...
14:59 I'd rather spend the next few years...
15:01 Things people have doubt
15:03 and think I'm incapable of,
15:05 I'll do my best to accomplish them at work.
15:09 Later, I can talk about things like love.
Ke you lun:
16:50 He really wants to tell everybody
16:51 he has improved a great deal in singing.
16:55 So I wrote him a song
16:57 which was rather difficult to sing.
16:58 When he first heard the song,
17:00 he wondered if the notes were too high.
17:03 and he might not be able to hit those high notes.
17:15 He works very hard,
17:18 not only just as a singer.
17:19 everything else too.
17:20 For example, as an actor
17:21 He's never late.
17:22 Instead, he is early. When recording a song,
17:25 before recording, he would keep asking.
17:29 Here, how about this sentence.
17:31 How could we make it better?
17:33 After he checked,
17:34 when we started recording in the studio..
17:35 Actually, I like his type of singer very much
17:38 because he leaves everything...
17:39 He trusts the producer very much.
17:41 I wrote the song for him
17:42 and also produced the song.
17:43 He trusts the producer a lot.
17:44 He would leave everything to me.
Continuation of translation till the end of show :
reporter:
17:59 In the eyes of his friend, he's a diligent singer
18:01 Finally, Zai has gradually rid of an idol's baggage.
18:04 But, to cross the threshold of a good actor,
18:06 the last step, still missing for him, is to win an award.
Zai:
18:20 Why
18:21 do I only consider winning an award as an affirmation?
18:22 It is because...
18:25 I can only say that as an F4 member,
18:30 we have enjoyed and experienced everything.
18:32 I mean it.
18:35 When life is good, people
18:35 place us at a very high position
18:39 They adore us.
18:40 At such time, many forget to think
18:44 why you have reached such a position,
18:46 Why today people are worshiping you like mad.
18:51 It was all because of the 'Meteor Garden' drama.
18:52 But how about after the 'Meteor Garden',
18:56 shouln't one reflect inside oneself
18:57 that there should be something really solid.
reporter:
19:00 The emptiness inside, only he can feel.
19:02 Because when he was still at the very young age of 20,
19:05 he was already a mega star.
Zai:
19:08 Now You suddenly got placed so high up there.
19:11 but it's empty space in between
19:12 you need to fill out the space.
19:14 At least, you need to make your path more solid
19:17 so in the future people won't bad-mouth you.
reporter:
19:28 Just a commercial
19:29 can rake in tons of money.
19:31 He's not even 30 yet!
19:33 Rumor has it that Zai's fortune is already over NT$100 millions.
19:36 But he knows that he has his lucky star to thank.
19:39 Only by working harder
19:41 can he make money without guilty conscience.
Zai:
19:45 It's been many years.
19:46 Although in the eyes of many people,
19:50 I can do other things after so many years
19:52 and can do better. That's right.
19:53 I can do better.
19:55 But I have earned money I should haven't.
19:56 May I put it this way?
19:58 I want to earn money that I'm entitled to.
20:00 This is how I humble myself
20:02 and become an actor,
20:03 starting from the very basic.
20:05 No one is born to be a leading man.
20:08 I rather use the mentality of a supporting actor
20:10 to play the male lead .
-- End of translation
After watching this show and reading the full translation, we understand more now why ZZ pushes himself so hard as an actor. At 19:08 to 20:10, ZZ frankly and honestly talk about how he wants to fill-up the gap between his Red-Hot fame and the real talent/ contribution he brings to the audience. How can you NOT LOVE an actor who he thinks like that. He has a maturity beyond his age. And he thinks so deeply, intelligently and also with such sensitivity. A highly responsible man, and a man of accountability. He doesn't want to earn money he does not deserve.
I salute you Zaizai Zhou Yumin, not just the actor but also the person. Cuz you have a attitude towards work and life that deserves our respect and admiration. biggrin.gif JIAYOU !! You are the best !!

04:19 you knew how other people felt.
04:21 The look in their eyes.
04:22 You know what I mean.
04:25 Oh F4... Win an award.
04:27 Um, how do you do?
04:29 They didn't remember you afterwards.
04:31 They didn't think of you as anything, either.
reporter:
06:29 Zaizai's handsome appearance and his quiet temperament
06:30 closely resembled the manga character.
06:33 However, at the time, he didn't have any acting experience.
06:36 When he opened his month, he spoke Chinese with a Taiwanese accent.
06:39 It caused the director headache.
Director Cai:
06:41 It was a very noticeable problem with him.
06:46 But we couldn't do anything.
06:47 Because he looked so much like the character and was suitable for the role,
06:50 we'd rather make it part of his characteristic.
06:52 Moreover, he was working hard to change it.
06:54 He kept practicing.
07:13 Let them get used to acting.
07:15 Let them understand what's acting.
07:17 Because they didn't have time to learn what that was about.
07:20 Within a very short period of time, immediately they had to
07:21 be in front of the equipment and perform.
Zai:
07:34 I didn't know what was acting.
07:35 Neither did I know why I wanted to be an artist.
07:38 It was all because of what my mom said to me.
07:40 You could give it a try.
07:41 Anyway, they had found you.
07:44 So she told me to do as a part-time job. Meteor Garden.
07:48 I came with a mentality that I was doing a temp job.
Zai:
08:07 Some media friends
08:09 write untrue reports
08:11 or make outrageous guess out of thin air.
08:13 I feel that I don't need to be nice with you.
08:14 Because I know even though I smile,
08:17 these paparazzi reporters would still make up stories about me.
08:19 You know what I mean.
08:20 I may as well just not meet you
08:22 So, I don't mistreat myself.
08:23 You're just pretending with me, aren't you?
08:25 I'm already doing acting on my job.
08:27 I don't need to act with you after work.
08:28 Why do I need to bother with you?
08:43 Actually, I have never
08:45 got used to the media
08:51 At that time, it was because my mom
08:54 told me you weren't doing it as a profession.
08:56 Mom told me I was just doing it as a short term job.
08:58 How did I know it would have become like this.
09:00 That was how I felt.
09:02 I really had no idea it would turn out like this.
09:03 It was like now I had to take this route.
Zai:
11:07 I thought it was only acting.
11:09 It wasn't. When you became famous
11:10 you need to release albums
11:11 you need to publish photo albums
11:12 you need to hold concerts.
11:13 you have to do anything.
11:15 you need to do a world tour.
11:16 So, people will get to know you,
11:17 people will go crazy for you.
11:18 Wow, is that so? But I didn't want it.
11:21 Because I didn't know what I was doing.
11:22 I only felt
11:23 these were just things with extra values.
11:27 I wasn't happy.
11:28 I only felt
11:29 the four of us were together every day,
11:32 shooting commercials.
Chun Ning Chang:
13:32 It was the director.
13:34 It was because later he
13:35 wanted us in the last scene
13:37 to go back,
13:39 filming the memory of our past.
13:41 He said you two could decide how to act.
13:42 Then he said
13:43 you could play by chasing each other.
13:46 After he started to shoot a bit.
13:47 we looked at the tape.
13:48 He said he felt there could be something more.
13:53 Then, every time he
13:54 went to look at the tape,
13:55 he would say there could be something more
13:57 but he wouldn't tell you
13:58 what he really wanted.
14:00 As a matter of fact, when you heard of it,
14:01 you knew the director
14:02 simply wanted a kissing scene
14:02 but he wouldn't say it.
Zai:
14:24 I once
14:26 imaged that I would get marred at 25.
14:27 Now I started to image.
14:29 A while back,
14:30 I started to image I would get married by 30.
14:32 But I've found out all these thoughts are useless.
14:34 If you don't have something concrete
14:37 to be recognized by others
14:38 and to prove Your value,
14:41 people will always think your prospect is not good.
14:45 No body will expect
4:47 you to be good at any role.
14:50 For both parties involved,
14:51 whether you can protect her,
14:53 or you can keep14:55 a good long-term marriage,
14:56 or you can be a good husband,
14:58 or you are matured enough...
14:59 I'd rather spend the next few years...
15:01 Things people have doubt
15:03 and think I'm incapable of,
15:05 I'll do my best to accomplish them at work.
15:09 Later, I can talk about things like love.
Ke you lun:
16:50 He really wants to tell everybody
16:51 he has improved a great deal in singing.
16:55 So I wrote him a song
16:57 which was rather difficult to sing.
16:58 When he first heard the song,
17:00 he wondered if the notes were too high.
17:03 and he might not be able to hit those high notes.
17:15 He works very hard,
17:18 not only just as a singer.
17:19 everything else too.
17:20 For example, as an actor
17:21 He's never late.
17:22 Instead, he is early. When recording a song,
17:25 before recording, he would keep asking.
17:29 Here, how about this sentence.
17:31 How could we make it better?
17:33 After he checked,
17:34 when we started recording in the studio..
17:35 Actually, I like his type of singer very much
17:38 because he leaves everything...
17:39 He trusts the producer very much.
17:41 I wrote the song for him
17:42 and also produced the song.
17:43 He trusts the producer a lot.
17:44 He would leave everything to me.
Continuation of translation till the end of show :
reporter:
17:59 In the eyes of his friend, he's a diligent singer
18:01 Finally, Zai has gradually rid of an idol's baggage.
18:04 But, to cross the threshold of a good actor,
18:06 the last step, still missing for him, is to win an award.
Zai:
18:20 Why
18:21 do I only consider winning an award as an affirmation?
18:22 It is because...
18:25 I can only say that as an F4 member,
18:30 we have enjoyed and experienced everything.
18:32 I mean it.
18:35 When life is good, people
18:35 place us at a very high position
18:39 They adore us.
18:40 At such time, many forget to think
18:44 why you have reached such a position,
18:46 Why today people are worshiping you like mad.
18:51 It was all because of the 'Meteor Garden' drama.
18:52 But how about after the 'Meteor Garden',
18:56 shouln't one reflect inside oneself
18:57 that there should be something really solid.
reporter:
19:00 The emptiness inside, only he can feel.
19:02 Because when he was still at the very young age of 20,
19:05 he was already a mega star.
Zai:
19:08 Now You suddenly got placed so high up there.
19:11 but it's empty space in between
19:12 you need to fill out the space.
19:14 At least, you need to make your path more solid
19:17 so in the future people won't bad-mouth you.
reporter:
19:28 Just a commercial
19:29 can rake in tons of money.
19:31 He's not even 30 yet!
19:33 Rumor has it that Zai's fortune is already over NT$100 millions.
19:36 But he knows that he has his lucky star to thank.
19:39 Only by working harder
19:41 can he make money without guilty conscience.
Zai:
19:45 It's been many years.
19:46 Although in the eyes of many people,
19:50 I can do other things after so many years
19:52 and can do better. That's right.
19:53 I can do better.
19:55 But I have earned money I should haven't.
19:56 May I put it this way?
19:58 I want to earn money that I'm entitled to.
20:00 This is how I humble myself
20:02 and become an actor,
20:03 starting from the very basic.
20:05 No one is born to be a leading man.
20:08 I rather use the mentality of a supporting actor
20:10 to play the male lead .
-- End of translation
After watching this show and reading the full translation, we understand more now why ZZ pushes himself so hard as an actor. At 19:08 to 20:10, ZZ frankly and honestly talk about how he wants to fill-up the gap between his Red-Hot fame and the real talent/ contribution he brings to the audience. How can you NOT LOVE an actor who he thinks like that. He has a maturity beyond his age. And he thinks so deeply, intelligently and also with such sensitivity. A highly responsible man, and a man of accountability. He doesn't want to earn money he does not deserve.
I salute you Zaizai Zhou Yumin, not just the actor but also the person. Cuz you have a attitude towards work and life that deserves our respect and admiration. biggrin.gif JIAYOU !! You are the best !!
Zai Zai & Blue Lan
ZaiZai & Blue Lan go head-to-head in Golden Bell showdown, Wednesday April 15, 2009 Taiwan
Source: UDN
Translation: Sarah @ http://asianfanatics.net
This year’s Golden Bell Awards, ZaiZai will most likely go head-to-head with ‘love rival’ Blue Lan and ‘former rival’ Jerry Yan. Particularly interesting is the fact that ZaiZai & Blue Lan are both ex-boyfriends of Da S, and both made the transition to a policeman in their dramas; their competition is receiving a lot of attention.
The Golden Bell Awards has a number of rules: the best male lead must be from a series and it must have broadcasted at least 8 episodes before May this year. Jerry Yan has never been nominated, and PTV is planning on registering him for ‘Starlit.’ Coincidentally, PTV’s ‘Black & White’ and SETTV’s ‘Police Et Vous’ starring policemen ZaiZai and Blue, respectively also qualify for nominations. ZaiZai & Blue’s names have often been linked together in the past, due to Da S, but it will be the first time they truly compete by acting skills.
Actually, ZaiZai has almost gone crazy from being constantly asked about Da S, even this time during ‘Black & White’ promotions, the focus is still on Da S, even though they had split a long time ago. No-one seems to take notice of him escaping his melancholy prince image and playing a ruffian, a host even mentioned the late Hsu Wei Lun, making ZaiZai feel very uncomfortable. Because he feels there is no point, he declined a few notices, but this instead resulted in rumours of his depression resurfacing again. ZaiZai said helplessly: “If they don’t write about my love life, they write about depression, can they write something else for once?”
As for Blue Lan, lately he has been busy with costume fitting for upcoming SETTV drama ‘Good Health & Fortune.’ In the drama, he plays an overbearing ‘meat man’; and they specially custom-made 20 suits alone. Following Ethan Ruan and Roy Chiu, SETTV have already decided to sign Blue for 3 more dramas in 2 years time, and the condition is that he must not work with any other TV station. In ‘Police Et Vous’, Blue purposely acted gumby, and sure enough, broke away from his ‘flower vase’ label. In ‘Good Health & Fortune’, he will resume his good-looking appearance, but will challenge the course of bad turning good. Blue has been actively engaging in weight training, and after only 2 weeks, visible muscle lines are already appearing.

Zai Zai's Joke story
Thanks to : Alyien@AF
theres.. a jokea foind.. upload by one of ZZ's fans zaichos... read carefully!!.. i believe u'll find that ZZ very very funny and cute!!!!!!
38. Zai Zai was on a show and is calling fans.
Host: Everyone, stay by your telephone and don't let your mom answer. If it's the mother answering...
Zai Zai: Bo Mu, wan an. (Auntie, Good evening.)
39. Ou Di (Guy who played Qing He in MG) is at the set of Lai Wo Jia Ba (Come to my place) to do an interview with Zai Zai.
Ou Di: (Runs up to Zai Zai) Zai Zai!
Zai Zai: (Snatches the microphone) Hello Everyone, I'm Zai Zai.
Ou Di: . . .
Zai Zai: In this film, I am portraying a photographer, his job, is actually a photographer. (smiles, showing dimples)
40. With regards to his filming Hua Ze Lei in Meteor Garden, Zai Zai was asked if he felt bad for creating so many NG scenes, and whether he did a lot of apologizing. Zai Zai immediately answered, "Apologies? If apologies are useful, then what is the police for?" (Dao Ming Si's line) and laughs crazily by himself.
41. In Hong Kong. (Zai Zai and Ken) Once arriving at their hotel, Ken is so tired he immediately falls on the bed to sleep. Zai Zai is like a kid, sits down and eats chocolate. He wants to bug Ken, and waves chocolate in front of Ken's face to see if he would wake up to eat it. However, Ken is sleeping too deeply. Zai Zai then puts the chocolate in his mouth, as if intending to kiss Ken and pass the chocolate to him. Ken wakes up to the sound of Zai Zai and crew's laughter. Zai Zai says, "I'm filming as a lan2 yu." Ken shows a 'i've lost to u' expression, and Zai Zai happily returns to eating his chocolate. however, he sits down in his chair again, and sits on chocolate crumbs he has left there. A lady (crew member) must then wipe his pants clean for him.
42. In an F4 interview, they were celebrating Vanness's birthday. Vanness sings the first line "Wish me a happy birthday" R&B style, with a high note, and they took turns singing. When Zai Zai's turn came, he tried to mock Vanness, and he does it over-dramatically. Everyone says "Doing it again?!" Then, F4 had to imitate something from each other. When it came to Zai Zai's turn and he is to imitate Ken, he turned sideways from the camera, put his hand behind his back like a pregnant lady and sticks his stomach out to imitate 'big belly'. Vanness and Jerry laugh very hard, and Zai Zai ends up getting beaten up by Ken.
43. With regards to following a schedule for filming...
Zai Zai: I'm especially quick! The time outside of the filming, I treat it as a long break. Then, I must go dance, practice dancing, and then the other three are already waiting there to punish me, today i was especially bad so I must go back to the company and wait to be punished
Worker: Punish you how?
Zai Zai: Forbid me from filming for a month. Then I will really suffer...
44. Zai Zai was speaking in an exaggerated fashion, saying how he would use all of his money and the money he has yet to receive from filming Poor Prince to give XX (the site wrote XX, i haven't the slightest clue what it means or stands for), and says he will definately get over ten thousand copies (I think he means CDS). F3 laughed loudly commeting, "You have so much money? How come we didn't even know? You are the highest paid out of the four of us!" The funniest is Zai Zai's expression, his face was all wrinkled up. And he still remembers to tell everyone not to buy pirated copies! Borrow a line from Tao Zi jie, "Really want to give him a beating!"
45. In fantasy, Zai Zai and 'Jia Qian' (Dunno who this is..sorry!) were trying to comfort a fan, and this 'Jia Qian' person says "Should we give her a surprise?" Zai Zai's expression was very serious when he said "When she enters, we'll put a bucket of water above her." The screen shows everyone in the room with 3 black dots of speechlessness.
46. When comforting a fan, Jia Qian mentioned 'want Zai Zai', and Zai Zai mistook it for wanting his body, and he said "My body what?! Insane!" (Shen jing bing) Zai Zai really likes to say these three words.....so cute!
47. Zai Zai and Tao Zi were discussing Zai Zai wanting to buy a racecar.
Zai Zai: I'm someone who needs to have speed.
Tai Zi: Really? Then your driving must be really stable. Fast and stable.
Zai Zai: No. I am xiao3 er2 sun3 (it's a play on words...i dun quite understand the taiwanese expression.)
48. In Meteor Fantasyland, Zai Zai and Jia Qian were making steak.
Jia Qian: So to make steak, we must first find the meat.
Zai Zai: No. We must first find a cloth.
Jia Qian: Cloth? Why a cloth?
Zai Zai: Because it's so hot here, like a barbeque. If in this temperature we pick up the steak without the cloth, the....whoa! It'll become a 'hand steak'!
Jia Qian stared at him, then laughed so hard she couldn't stand straight.
49. At the Call Me mailbox, Jia Qian and Zai Zai went to knock on a door, and the person inside asks "Who is it?"
The two of them answered "Ding Dang yi lu fa..." and Zai Zai added in a childish voice: "Baba loves Mama."
50. Zai Zai holds up a picture of himself and says, "I have dimples, only one because I was naughty when young and a dog bit me.
51. When he was visiting Dong Feng Wei Shi looked down and patted his chest, "How many floors are there? So high." Then he turned to Bao Long, "Bao Long, come over and look." He was obviously frightend and still had to drag others down along with him.
52. He always shows his underwear by accident. One time when taking pictures he didn't agree to squat down because he wore really short pants. The fans below were screaming. He felt embarrassed haha there was once it was seen, he wore a black checkered underwear.
53. F4 was recieving an interview and he was at the side and asked, "What are we eating today? Chicken, i love fried chicken the most. Later, he reiterated it. This greedy cat. ZZ really has many weak points, but these weak points are so cute.
54. ZZ is known to be afraid of horror movies. One time Ken said that there was one day when ZZ was watching movies at home and suddenly ZZ screamed, "Ken, Ken, come quick." Ken ran there to see ZZ widening his eyes, pointing to the TV and said stuttering, "Explode, exploded." Ken looked and saw that there was an explosion scene of a movie.
55. People have asked ZZ why he seems so bitter when singing. ZZ said that he ate too many bitter gourds when he was young.
56.ZZ went on Tao Zi's show. He said that if there was a mosquito at flying by his mouth he would breathe it in. Afterwards there was news about Karen Mok. Once ZZ heard the name Karen Mok he started to grab things from the air and then also pretended to grab a mosquito and putting it in his mouth. He said that there was a time when he was home and he was thinking about how to catch a mosquito. He said he did research and found out that when it is flying around near you, you should extend your tongue and roll it in.
57. When F4 was in Singapore once, they got interviewed. When is was ZZ's turn, they were concerned whether or not he got enough sleep. He said yes. The report laughed at him asking, "I heard that you are afraid of sleeping by yourself." ZZ retorted, "No, who said I was afraid of sleeping by myself, I'm only afraid of getting on a da hao by myself." The reported cracked up.
58. There was one time when suddenly ZZ said aggrieved, "I also worked when I was young." The people around him said with sympathy, "Yes." ZZ said, "I sold shuang qi lin." Then after stopping for a while, "Only sold for one day, wasn't that exhausting." The people around him said, still with sympathy, "What?" ZZ winked and said, "Because I ate it with much toil." The people around him couldn't cry or laugh, "Really is exhausting."
59. In March 2002 F4 went to HK for the first time to hold a handshake session. An HK reporter asked them about sex. ZZ answered, "That's feelings plus movement mah."
60. Where'd did he gain 2kg? He hits his thigh, wiped his eyes like he's crying, "In my bottom!" Then he turned around and hit is once and then turned back around and touched his chest, "Only a little bit in the front, makes me boil with anger."
61.. ZZ, in order to comfort staff members went to the supermarket to purchase some stuff. Then he saw a beverage that Jerry is a spokesperson for. He pointed at Jerry and said seriously, "ren xian qi!! But not as handsome as I."
62.There's a white christmas tree in one of the pictures of ZZ's publicizing photos. ZZ's explaination, "We were walking at the seaside and saw a tree and it was white. Don't you think that's strange?"
63.. In the behind the scenes of F4's concert.
Because the first day, the star that ZZ sits on didn't have lights, a reporter asked him what he was going to do since only 3 were lit. He began to get shy and lowered his head and didn't say anything. Then his nature was exposed. He deliberately shut off the lights to hide from putting make up on.
64. In the video of F4 in HK, F4 were resting in the hotel. ZZ was sitting on the sofa with chocolate in his left hand while his right hand was busy catching the fruit the staff members were throwing him. What's fascinating is that while he was catching he was saying I've eating a strange fruit before, I've eaten an apple before and then proudly laughed. At this time a staff member threw a fruit at him, after catching it ZZ said, "Want to kill me? Not so easy."
65.On E-news, after ZZ finished drawing his rated naked caricature he sqauted down and laughed so hard, his entire face was buried in the picture. During the interview after performing, Ken was clearing up rumors and said that maybe he and vanness wi gong zheng (marry?) and asked ZZ if he'd be their zheng hun ren (something like a pastor). ZZ said seriously, "I won't because I want to be Vanness' groom." (it took him a while to pronounce groom correctly)
66. When ZZ was filming the Make A Wish MV he said, "This is an educational ,enlightening video. We plan on sending this to the Ministry of Education and see if we can win an award this year...ah...ah..." he couldn't bear it anymore and started to laugh. When ZZ was releasing his album he went to his company to help out. When asked why he came to help he said in a Tai Lang tone, "I heard the salery here is liang wang(suppose to be liang wan - 20,000, not liang wang - 2 wishes), so I came." He also used one hand to hold up 3 boxes (they were empty ) and said, "I've been working out recently, moving these things is not a problem at all." Just after he finished talking, the boxes shook and the truth came out, ZZ laughed, so cute!
67. During the Meteor Garden II press con, the host asked ZZ why he was acting cute that day. ZZ said, "Because I wore pink today."
68. When F4 was in HK for a picture shoot, ZZ and Vanness didn't look at the camera but at a V8 and ZZ was giving off electricity like crazy. At this time a light suddenly flashed at ZZ. It scared ZZ, he then said, "Are you taking pictures?"

0:23 The main thing is that you should thank your mom.
0:24 Your mom liked you to be a star
0:26 so she could be a stage mom, didn’t she?
Zai:
0:29 I see. I should thank my mom.
0:30 I’ll ask my mom in the show to contact me ASAP.
Shen:
0:32 Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What do you mean?
0:34 You’re calling your mom to contact you ASAP?
0:35 Have you lost contact with your mom now?
Zai:
0:37 That’s right. That’s right.
0:38 Actually, it’s not we’ve lost contact.
0:40 I feel we’re disagreeing with each other
0:42 because my mom is the more rebellious type of mother.
0:46 Then ..
Shen:
0:47 It sounds to me she is very cool.
0:49 I wanna be a rebellious type of mother, too. Okay?
0:52 But, I’m just the regular, mundane type. Okay.
