Vic Chou's dark side, Monday June 15, 2009 Singapore

Credit thank : mon_susicv @ Forum Indonesia

U-Weekly, 16 Juni




FORMER F4 heart-throb Vic Chou, 28, offers a new side to himself in his upcoming idol drama Black & White.

And he strays away from the usual mechanical performances we've come to expect of idol actors.

For a start, he will be playing a baddie.

He said: 'I present to everyone a brand new me through this representative work, as I challenged my own limits and proved my worth.'

Since acting in Meteor Garden as part of the idol group F4, Vic has appeared in various dramas.

But, generally, talk about him tends to focus on his past relationship with former girlfriend Barbie Hsu and his glamorous idol image - with hardly any mention of his acting skills.

In Black & White, Vic finally transcends the idol packaging and the speculation over his personal life.

Vic said: 'Since a few years ago, director Tsai Yuexun already discussed the possibility of making Black & White as a new genre of drama.

'He had clear directions and plans for the character profiles, story content and action scenes.

'After much preparation put in by both sides, we finally took action last year. The completion of this drama marked a new milestone in my acting career.'

Just as the preparation took a long time, the filming process was lengthy too - due to the high standards set by the director.

The gruelling one-year filming took a lot out of him, said the Taiwanese actor.

Said Vic: 'Wearing a thick suit, and having to run and fight in the hot weather was probably the toughest part of filming.

'Filming was also done in many high-risk sites - such as a hot, enclosed factory. In one scene, I was hung 3m above the ground for 24 hours.

'For the kidnap scene, there were high-voltage train rails on both sides. We also had to halt a moving train.'

Vic added that although the shoot was 'very tiring', the entire cast and crew worked hard to achieve 'perfection' for the scene.

'It's all worth it when we can finally present a complete and exciting drama to the audience.'

As for the role itself, Vic said: 'In the past, many of my roles were already cast in stone before I picked them up. All I would do is act according to the script.

'But this role was tailor-made for me, and the director gave me lots of space, allowing me to play out the role of a ruffian as much as I wanted. That was so fun!'

100 points

'After filming, I gave my performance 100 points. I had tried different acting possibilities - including fighting, climbing, acting as a robber and a vagrant - all of which I had never done before.

'I'm certain I've lived out a new image as a ruffian!'

He also gave his reasons for the ability to fill the role, saying: 'Perhaps it's due to my life experiences over the past few years. My character has matured a little, and my heart has also grown.

'But maybe I really got too deep into my character. Even after production had wrapped for two, three months, I still found myself acting out the character's expression and body language in real life.'

Black & White will debut on Mei Ah Drama (HK & Taiwan) (SingTel mio Ch 314) on 1 Aug.

ZZ always wore the same jackect

Credit Thanks : Siewleng @ http://asianfanatics.net for some translation
PI-TA @ PANTIP for the posting



Reporter:-6years wore one pair of jacket?Is the same jacket or same design bought a few pairs?

Zai Zai:-Two sets.At that time a friend wanted to buy some sports goods and asked me want to buy any clothes?I told him i wanted two sets of grey and two sets of black.After that the grey sets couldn't be found so i took the two black sets and wore it alternately.Last i gave one away for a fan.At that time really very reluctant to give it away,this jacket has been with me for the past six years.If i give away a big diamond,i also wouldn't feel that heart pain.

Reporter:-Your innermost feelings are also very formidable,don't worry being affected easily.

Zai Zai:-I am a person who don't care much about my appearance and i don't have an actor frame personality.At home i don't shave my beard,If i go to nearby convenient store to buy something,i will wear the same clothes a pair of black Adidas jacket which have been worn for six years and then wear a mask.After that one person told me that actually i don't need to wear a mask because see that jacket wore already easily recognized it's me..True also...

Reporter:-So actually u don't have any requirement set in your life?

Zai Zai:-My only requirement is my home.Because most of the time i will be at home so no matter how costly it takes,i am willing to pay for it and to decorate my house nicely according to what i hope.Because this is my home so must feel comfortable.

Medias actually no need use so much of effort to followed me around,just take out a foto taken 6years ago and published out.Readers wouldn't discover it out because what i wore is the same all the time.

Zhou Yumin "Golden Phrases"

(extracted from article "I strongly dislike being called an idol)

Translated by sytwo@VIC & AF



Reporter : Zaizai, you are much more steady these days compared to before.
ZZ : I only know that I am heavier now. Whether I am (stand) steady or not steady, I don't really know.
(*sytwo : ZZ is playing with the words "steady" which has dual meaning in chinese.)

Reporter : During school days, were you afraid to attend National (Mandarin) language classes?
ZZ : I won't be afraid. National (Mandarin) language class is one of my favourite subject. Because.....in that class I can understand everything.
(*sytwo : Reporter was probably refering to ZZ's unclear mandarin pronunciation, but ZZ very smart in reply)

Friend : Every time, there are more than a thousand people watching you. What are your feelings? Do you feel touched or proud of yourself?
ZZ : I hope that in the future, when they touch me, it can be more gentle.
(* sytwo : LOL!! ZZ is so frank and funny!)

Reporter : When you sing, you always like to sing live. Why don't you lip-sync like what other artiste do?
ZZ : Lip-synching is rather tough. Because.......need to memorize the lyrics.
(sytwo : Bua ha ha ha ha!!! This one take the cap!! ZZ, you are Number One funny and ke-ai guy!)

(sytwo : This must be ZZ's steps to court a girl)
First step : Ride fast bike
Second step : Start to court/ woo
Third step : Bad behavior. Please do not imitate
(*sytwo : Hahahaha! This reminds me of one event where fans were asked to guess how fast ZZ will kiss a girl during courtship. Two choices - one week or one month. All choose one month. Real answer : One week. Woot! ZZ is a fast-mover, LOL!)

= end =


One more short translation : Dir Cai's first words when first saw ZZ
- In the long article/ interview above, the reporter recounted the story of how ZZ was spotted by Angie Cai when he accompanied his friend for MG audition. We all that story right? But there was one additional thing about this in the article that I have not read before......

"When Angie Cai first asked ZZ if he is interested to act in MG drama, ZZ said "No" firmly. After a lot of persuasion, ZZ finally agreed to at least attend (take a look at) the first acting class for the MG cast. Angie Cai did not give up hope, and brought Director Cai to the acting class so that he can secretly take a look at ZZ, who is sitting near the door and appear to want to run away anytime (sytwo : hahaha! ZZ is such a relunctant star!). But Dir Cai has a new discovery : "His 45 degree profile is extremely beautiful!" What follows was a continuous series of wearisome "attacks" launched on ZZ, making him feel like "ducks being chased".

= end =

Bua ha ha ha!!! The above account is soooo super funny. Firstly, I love the part of Dir Cai's first reaction when he saw ZZ - the beauty of ZZ's perfect 45 degree profile (it's legendary!). And the part where both Angie Cai and Dir Cai "attacked" ZZ to make him agree to act in MG. LOL!! What with this attack plus ZZ's mom urging him to take up the offer, it's no wonder ZZ finally agreed. And this may be also why he kept having thoughts to quit in the first few years as an actor, cuz it happened too suddenly and he never expected that it will become a life-long career.

Thank To : siewleng8983@ asianfanatics for the posting



This morning i saw a kind fan at VIC posted a blogger's blog post about she and ZZ who had a short scene together during filmiing BnW that time...She is the passer-by girl who got strangle on the neck by homeless PiZi at the hamburger shop...She relate back her encountered with Zai and told us the funny side of Zai....I extracts Zai's part only for ZZ junkies to read...

Here is the blogger's blog link:-

http://www.wretch.cc/blog/flybetty314/9246293
credit thanx to yyli@VIC for the blogger's link.

Because i feel what this blogger wrote about Zai is very sweet and meaningful so i translate for friends here to read...

The person who strangle my neck,Zai Zai is a very gentleman man but also can play cold.(meaning Zai is talking his cold jokes)


Finally,i must tell you a interesting story about Zai Zai...
At that time he strangling my neck...
After that while facing the sales person(she mean He Xiao Mei who work at the hamburger shop)spoke out some script lines..."Give me lots of hamburgers" he said.
He cleverly delivered out this script lines,after that..
Next take,Dir Cai change his camera focus on He Xiao Mei...
Although after this don't have Zai Zai script anymore..
But he still cannot move his position yet..
After that some problem appears at He Xiao Mei scene...
Both of us maintained our position as it is,didn't move at all..
After awhile..we have to re-take that scene again..
This time i not only heard Zai Zai said "Give me lots of hamburgers" but also said in low voice "This time i rather want to eat drumstick and french fries la..."

Hahahahahaha......his own added words really made me laugh so foolishly...

Zai Zai really very adorable,immediately change my whole perception on him..
Before will think that this type of celebrity always put out their celebrity big attitude...
But that day Zai Zai is very professional and very good natured,ultra-Nice.
Before and after he strangle me,he talk to me,he will communicate with me telling me much force he will use when he strangle me and even ask me Ok ma?
Actually he can actually don't care about me,after all i am just a temporary actress..
But he didn't did that..
And this leave a very deep impression inside my mind..

Those supporting Zhou Yu Min fans,i really think that you all must remember to love him forever..support him..because the celebrity that you all love really is a very good man!

Hope Zai Zai could through Black&White performance get a Golden Horse Award,popularity become more and more high and also hope he and Da S reconcile!Because i feel both of them very matching!

Lastly,the main point is to ask everyone to watch Black&White because i got appeared in fifth and ten episodes and also support Zhou Yu Min.

The End.


Dear friends....we must believe in our CEO!No matter what happen we must support him!Love him just like what the blogger said!

PART III of red_star's rambling obsession


by red_star of faithful4ever

--------------------------------------------

For The Love of ZaiZai (the ramblings of obsession part III)

If ZaiZai is a Doctor, I’d be happy to catch all viruses and bacteria so that I may be inflicted with various illnesses… Of course, the more ailments and diseases I have, the more often I can visit him!!! Just the thought of his stethoscope (and hands) on my chest is enough to give me a heart attack!!!!!!!!

If ZaiZai is a NASA Scientist, I gladly turn myself into an asteroid awaiting to hit the earth, or an extraterrestrial being trying to make contact with him… That way, he’d spend most of his time studying about me and scrutinizing my every move…

If Zaizai is a Fitness Trainer (well…more like an aerobics instructor), I’d spend much of my money splurging on food especially on fatty and sweet ones… Why?? So I’d have all the excuse in the world to stay in his class until I get buff and toned!!!!!!!! Unless I attain my desired figure, I won’t stop sweating my a** off with him!!!!!!!

If ZaiZai is an Electrician, I’d deliberately break all my appliances so he can frequently come over my place and fix all the destroyed domestic devices… Leave the flat iron in the sink, pour ketchup on the lens of my PS2, brew coffee in the microwave oven for 1 hour… After which, I’d publish a book titled “101 Ways To Wreck Your Appliances… All For The Love Of Your Electrician…”

If Zaizai is a Horse Racer, with all enthusiasm, I’d choose to be a mare, a stallion, a charger or a steed, whatever you wanna call them!!!!!!!!! I’d choose to be his horse partner and be with him in defeat and victory… But I wonder, since I’m red_star, what will I be named if ever I become one??? Red_horse?!?!?!?!?!

If ZaiZai is the President… then I’d be his First Lady, what else?! Or maybe his Monica Lewinsky??? Hhhmmm… LOL!!!

If ZaiZai is a Traffic Enforcer (ala MMDA), I’d do everything that I can to break the rules so he can apprehend or arrest me as often as I desire… Name it and I’d do it!!!! Beating the red light, driving without license, reckless driving, jaywalking… heck!!!!!! Even if he’d ask me to sing the national anthem or make me do push-ups in public, I won’t care!!!!! As long as it’s for my ZaiZai…

If ZaiZai is Garbage Collector, I wouldn’t mind surprising him everytime he comes to pick our garbage!!!!!! While the truck hasn’t arrived yet, I’d sneak inside the garbage can so the moment he opens the lid to remove the trash, the first thing he’d see will be my smiling face… I’m sure if I’d do it weekly, my efforts won’t be left futile…

If ZaiZai is a Nude Painter… **decides not to finish the explanation… eagerly removes clothes and strikes a pose with all passion… keeps still, unaffected and focused like a British guard**

If ZaiZai is a Deep-sea Diver, I’d willingly become a mermaid so I can watch him dance in the ocean from afar and once in a while show my true self so he’d be mesmerized by my cursed form (or is it beauty?)… Wow… Also, I’d sing to him with my enchanting voice like Ariel but I wouldn’t mind though if I’d be his pet Dugong (Sea Cow)…

Sigh… All for the love of ZaiZai…

1/13 ZZ's split personality role in God Mars

Credit thank : freakazoid@AF
Jan 14 2004 4 55 AM



Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) challenges a split personality role. In his new drama “God Mars” he portrays a racecar person with 2 different personalities. For this reason, he has watched his health, learned to ride heavy modeled cars, and also frequently watched movies to speculate his acting skills. He has been seen previously by Apple Daily going to see a physiologist. Da S, who will be acting with him in “God Mars,” has been suffering cyclothymia, which has caused her some complications. This time, portraying a difficult role, would he be afraid of sinking too into the drama and not being able to come back out? He replied. “I really wanted to enter the drama and not come back out!”

After “Meteor Garden” Zai Zai and Da S will be working together once again. In “God Mars” they are a couple of miserable lives. In the manga, the male character sees his twin brother commit suicide, which led him to have a split personality. And the female’s stepfather abuses her. The story is rather depressing.

Many drama seniors such as Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung and others have been too into their roles and were unable to draw away from their roles. Zai Zai said, “Even such a great actor as Tony Leung wasn’t able to avoid this kind of complication, of coarse it’ll be impossible for me to refrain from. However, at the present stage, I instead really want to experience this type of ‘into the drama’ feel because this means that I portrayed the role very well.”

Leehom gives guitar
Zai Zai’s happily celebrated for having sold 500,000 albums in the entire Asia. His good friends, Jerry Yan, Ken Zhu, Vanness Wu and Vivian Hsu all gave him flower baskets. His buddy Leehom, who is in China shooting an advertisement, knew that he was learning how to play the guitar with Xue Zhong Ming so he especially asked someone to help him give Zai Zai a guitar. Zai Zai happily said, “Males are really sought-after when they pluck the guitar. Even a simple song like ‘Xiao Mi Feng’ (Little Bee), when females hear it they would feel diao3!” (…um yeah…I’ve had mixed results from dictionaries…and I highly doubt that it’s any of them…at least I hope not^.^;;;;; so the pin yin will do) But with his current level, not just “Xiao Mi Feng” even basic DoReMi will also not.

Leehom also congratulated Zai Zai via phone. The two’s conversation was niu tou bu dui ma zui (directly translated as an ox’s head not matching a horse’s mouth) Leehom said that he had to gain weight for his ad. Zai Zai replied, “Don’t need to gain, I’ll give you a bit of my meat.” Leehom said, “First learning posture is very important for the guitar, because if he can hold it good, reporters can take good photos.” Zai Zai replied, “Right now at the scene many people are holding your “Unimaginable” album wanting you to sign it!” Back and forth it’s entirely not building on the content in the first place, making people scratching their heads in confusion. Afterwards Zai Zai laughed, “I’m a wu li tou (not really sure what this is in English…maybe something like an airhead or not… =P) loves to say cold jokes ma!”

Really wants to fall in love
After entering this career for 3 years, Zai Zai really wants to fall in love. But he doesn’t have the time, doesn’t have a girlfriend, everyone questions whether or not he’ll even have any private time to rest? He answered, “Everyday I work until night, you can’t tell me to go out on the streets at midnight to seek a love interest ba!”

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT ZAIZAI (the ramblings of obsession)

Credit thank : freakazoid@AF
Jan 14 2004 3 50 AM



I hate the way you stare, your gaze ever so enchanting… I swear it can make me weep like a baby and make me forget who I am!!!

I hate it everytime you smile and show your pearly whites, especially innocent and pure like a child’s… You think you’re so charming??? Well, you are!!!

I hate the way you’d scratch your nose or any other gestures you make (like that classic “scary” hand motion)… why, aren’t you adorable enough??

I hate the way you render your songs with your soothing voice that sounds like an angel’s… Can’t you see I get affected and end up melting like butter?? I feel the love baby, I feel the pain…

I hate seeing you laugh or giggle, with your hands on your tummy and your face puckered in absolute mirth and delight… You just never fail to make me want to take you home…

I hate the way you effectively portrayed the violin-playing Hua Ze Lei in Meteor Garden, with that cold veneer and I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude, yet inside bleeds for his love for Sancai… You are the reason why tried doing handstands (which up to now, I still cannot do) and why every single day I brokedown…

I hate your hairstyle, always perfect and your complexion, golden like a god’s… Don’t you know how often I catch myself staring at you, breath-taken, slack-jawed, drooling, heart- palpitating, and just in utter disbelief that such a being exists???? You amaze me…

Jan 14 2004 3 50 AM


I hate the way you glanced at me during the concert and noticed me despite the fact that I was far away and am a nobody to you… I died ZaiZai, I died right there and then.

I hate the way you captivated me, the way you grasped my heart and made me a prisoner of your very existence… Oh yes, I’ve never felt this way towards anybody else though foolish as it may sound, I don’t think I ever will… You are my inspiration and make me be a better person… Everywhere I look you are there!! In my spirit, in my future, in my dreams… GAWD!!!!! WHY DID I HAVE TO KNOW YOU???????

But what I hate most about you is the fact that you are the most beautiful human person I’ve ever laid eyes on and as much as I try, I cannot and I do not hate you, not a bit, not a speck, not even at all…

Every album's increase in profit vary from $50-$150. These profits, besides Zai Zai's PJs' profits, the cost of air transport was expensive. It's best that they take a part of the profits to pay for the pre-orders. Originally a $300+ album plus the luxurious PJ edition, the price is about $400.

Zaizai "not satisfied" with manager, Cai Zhi Ping. Grumbles Loudly, "I need a Break"

Zaizai is unhappy with manager, Cai Zhi Ping ? Recently, Zaizai attended TVBS-G enews specially recorded new year program.While he was playing word game with host You Wei & Nono, he actually wrote " Cai Zhi Ping Hao Huai" with a brush. AS his work schedule for last year was hectic and full, he could not help but grumbled, " I need a break." However, as he was more and more humourous, he did not forget to add, " Cai Jie Hao Huai, but i love her."

As new year is drawing nearer and nearer, superstar, Zaizai, would be keeping company with all audiences from TVBS-G. In order to change his gentle image, Zaizai, Nono and You Wei, regardless of their image, work hard to act everything out.All the three of them used the brush to draw Ji Xiang and also to play the continous word game, and even did a scene of helping the audience to do the Pian Pao Quan. As the crew of people who designed the fire crackers fight scene specially requested that Zaizai have got to act very sissy with the Xian Nu Pang. At first, they were afarid that Zaizai would not be able to open up and would not act it out. However, Zaizai did very well and alike, playing along with the hosts and causing everyoen on the set to laugh.

01/11 Vic promotes Lilo & Stitch again


source: Sing Tao Daily Newspaper




When the movie, “Lilo and Stitch” premiered, it was Vic Zhou, Zai Zai, who was the spokesman. This time’s TV version once again asks Zai Zai to record a program to draw out prizes. He also admits that he’s a #627 experiment and Stitch’s big brother.

To support “Lilo and Stitch,” the Disney Channel especially manufactured 1,500,000 Stitch game cards as free giveaways. As long as you type in the password from the card, you can go online and play the “Lilo and Stitch” online game. When big brother Zai Zai saw each cute little Stitch on every game card he said, “Must go online to fight to maintain my ‘big brother’ #627 experiment throne!” As for whether or not Zai Zai will watch the program on time we only see his of coarse reply, “Of coarse! Or else how will I know my brothers?”

1/11 ZaiZai hopes to fall in love




In "Ni De Ti Wen" mv, ZaiZai showed tat he can play the guitar.

So how's Zai's guitar skills? "I'm only at the beginners level. " Zai revealed, that guitar was given to him by a female fan as his bdae present. . The present has been placed in his room for quite some time. One day, 1 of his fren went over to his house & curiously asked Zai if he can play the guitar when he saw it. Zai shook his head. Coincidentally, that fren plays the guitar very well & taught Zai to play some basic chords. Zai learnt very fast.

Yesterday, at the filming of "Ni De Ti Wen" mv, the story required a guitar. Zai especially took his guitar & played for the crew at the filming location. Zai was given a new nickname - "" shen1 qing3 de4 guitar prince".

Besides playing the guitar, to complement the song, initially there was supposed to have a passionate scene with the female lead. But, Sonymusic was worried that Zai's female fans will get jealous, they told the director tat the romantic scenes to be juz nice, & not to over. In the end, the director arranged for Zai to hug the female lead from behind, to demonstrate the "temperature" contact. As Zai being a ladies killer, tat female lead blushed when Zai hugged her.

"I wanna fall in love!", after breaking up with his gal who worked as a cosmetic salesgal, Zai has not fall in love for quite some time. These few days, he had been busy with his exams. All he hope is tat he can pass all his subjects. Zai's latest album is selling very well.

1/9 Zaizai calls Zhang Shao Han: Zhang Hong Liang


Don't think that Zhang Shao Han, who only weighs 40kg, as a weak and puny girl. When she sings her voice is powerful, giving Zaizai a surprise. "Can't tell that though she is skinny, her vocal chords are really powerful," Thus, Zaizai gave her a nickname, "Zhang Hong Liang"
(note, Zhang Shao Han is a newbie, Zhang Hong Liang is a very well-known TWnese artiste)

Zaizai states when he heard Zhang Shao Han's album for the first time, he was a little surprised. "You won't think the voice and the person is the same person." Zhang Shao Han was on AZIO's Entertainment News. Zaizai as the presenter, looked at Zhang Shao Han from top to toe, making her feel embarrassed. "You're so skinny, how come you have such powerful vocals?" When faced with Zaizai's question, Zhang Shao Han specially explained, she didn't have confidence in singing in the past, all she did was to follow the teacher's instructions, and do practice to improve.

Zhang Shao Han let Zaizai feel "mysterious", but the other presenter of AZIO, Yang Qian Pei, with her slender body, helped the presenter team win back some "face". Yang's weight is 43kg, while Zhang's weight is only 39kg. After "contesting" their weight, the two ladies looked to see whose arms were more slender. What was surprising was that Yang, who weighs 4kg more than Zhang, has a more slender arm. Not only did Zhang Shao Han feel surprised, Zaizai also felt "beyond words". From the start to the end of the program, because of so many surprises, Zaizai could not stop opening his mouth.

ZZ PJ's auctioning for 10 thousand dollars



Taiwan Da cheng Bao

Although the record company started off with the attitude of giving back to the fans, so they gave out gifts with the artists' albums, releasing limited editions of the ablums. By taking advantage of the fans intentions to collect these limited items, they coaxed fans into buying these items. For example, Vic Chou and Ah Du's fans are among those who have been victims, in order to obtain these collectible items from their idols, they had to spend large amounts of money.

Vic's limited edition album includes pyjamas, up to now, it has been auctioning online, starting from 400 dollars, it has now risen to 10 thousand dollars. There have been fans who were unfortunate and were not able to get this limited edition, and therefore had to resort to buying it from online auctions. Seeing this, some people took advantage of these dedicated fans, went out and bought Vic's limited edition album, and used it to their own advantage by auctioning it online at high prices. The scary thing is that fans were willing to buy the limited edition even though the price reached 10 thousand Taiwan dollars. Up to now, the only thing that Sony has been able to do is tell fans not to spend such large sums of money on buying the collectibles, and stated that in the future, they will release another edition with other collectibles, and that they will have another chance to buy it then.

1/9 ZaiZai & Comic Boyz - Test of friendship

Credit thank : freakazoid@AF




Comic Boyz had internal conflict because of ZaiZai? Lately, Dong Feng "Ya Zhou Yu Le Tong" invited Zai & Comic Boyz's Wang Chuan Yi, Zeng Shao Zong & Shen Dong Jing for their special programme to be broadcasted on 2nd day of Chinese New year.

All 3 of Comic Boyz - Wang Chuan Yi, Zeng Shao Zong & Shen Dong Jing wanted to be in the same grp as ZaiZai. Finally, Wang Chuan Yi was chosen to be in the same grp as Zai because they both are Andy Lau loyal fans.

During the competition, "Ru Yi" team consisting of Zheng Shao Zong & Shen Dong Jing was leading Zai's grp ("Ji Xiang" team). Zai & Wang Chuan Yi teased "Ru Yi" team should change name to "Ru Hua" team. Shen Dong Jing & Zeng Shao Zong replied that Zai & ChuanYi should be called "Bu Xiang (Unlucky)" team instead.

To win the chance to eat the delicious New Year dishes, the 4 of them gave their best.

When asked wat was Huo Jian Hua's name is "Xi Jie Shao Nian", ZaiZai & Chuanyi wrote "Shi Wang (disappointed)" instead of "Xing Wang". Shen Dong Jing & Zeng Shao Zong wrote "Hua Ze Lei". ZaiZai laughed at them saying: "Not only u answered wrongly, u've even wrote the "ze" wrongly". Shen Dong Jing & Zeng Shao Zong apologized. Zai who was too engrossed in the game, repeatedly said his own team name wrongly, he laughed at himself: "I don't know which team am i in".

Brief translation:
ZZ is a car fan. Every week he'll race once. right now his fastest record is a 1 min 14 sec to finish (some amount of km) right now he finished in 1min 20sec. (i think this is what is says next...) right now he is aiming for a faster record


-----------------------------------

Prince charming Zaizai Vic Chou has a "wild" heart fond of speeding, and can actually speed at the pace of 180km/h, that's equivalent to 1.1km in 1min20secs, it leets him feel thrilled!

Vic, who has never revealed himself to be car-race lover, showed his "power" on the race track yesterday.The basketball court situated next to Civic Boulevard (Shi Min Da Dao) actually became popular because Jay Chou, Hei Ren and Vanness like to play there at night. It's believed that the cart race track situated at Xin Dian city's An He Road, will also become a popular place for "star" gazers, because Zaizai can be found there at least once a week
](haha, now i know where to go if i want to see ZZ! )


Nobody would think that Vic, who is normally gives a squeaky clean image, and whose actions are very gentle, is actually an avid racer. The only difference is, he doesnt speed on the roads, but likes to go to the race track. Once he does not have work on hand, he would at least find one day a week to go racing. Because his elder brother owns a car repair shop, since young, Vic has always had a fascination with cars. Racing to him is an inexpressible joy, once he steps on the gear, in a few seconds he can reach a speed of 180km/h, shiok!

Vic, who has already one year of racing behind him, likes to challenge his record whenever he goes racing. In fact, he and Ken have also gone racing together. He points to the racing track, and like as if he was an expert, said, "The complete distance of the racing track is 1.1km, one round costs only NTD650 (ONLY?!), and takes only 1.5 mins, i normally spend 1.5hrs racing." (wah!) Come to think of it, it's a very exhorbitant hobby. Zaizai says, because of the lack of space in Taiwan, those who like racing can only go to race tracks. One year has passed and he has got on good relationship with the boss and workers of the race track. Wearing a helmet and gloves, Zaizai said, "Once my right leg steps (on the gear), it only takes a few seconds before the car starts getting fast." He also said that the fastest to complete the 1.1km circuit is 1min14secs, so far, his fastest record is 1min20secs. Zaizai hopes to become a professional racer someday.

12/28 Fans complain about ZZ's new MTV

Credit thank : peachy8@AF
Jan 14 2004 8 03 AM




Vic Zhou always gives people a ‘pure’ feeling. When he filmed for the MTV for his new song he didn’t hesitate to kiss the female lead, the two were in high spirits. After fans saw the MTV they went online and complained that the MTV was too intimate.

For his new song, “Remember I Love You,” MTV, Zai Zai portrayed a sentimental fellow who, after breaking up with his girlfriend, still yearns for the happiness of past. To create an affectionate and romantic feel, Zai Zai and the female lead had several intimate scenes. The two first held hands, then hugged, looked at the stars and had fun. In addition, Zai Zai also had to kiss her on the forehead.

After seeing the MTV many fans left complaints on the web simultaneously strongly requesting that Zai Zai not take intimate scenes with female leads. Responding to this, Zai Zai believes that the MTV for “Remember I Love You” isn’t really intimate. He said, “Actually the level of this isn’t too different from when I shot for “Make a Wish” last time. I really wasn’t that intimate with the female lead, we only hugged and lightly kissed. The only thing that was special was that in the MTV I appeared in pajamas and tell her my troubles, the feeling is very warm.”

Zai Zai held a wishing activity for charity. Fans wrote out their wishes for Zai Zai to grant. Among them, there was a female fan that requested Zai Zai to kiss her. Zai Zai laughed, “Everyone must not take advantage of me, kissing is too excessive. I really am not able to accept it. Hugging is fine, but it’s best that there is a real wish that I can help grant.

On New Year Eve Zai Zai will attend 4 countdown activities, traveling from Taipei to Gao Xiong and other places. Zai Zai is most worried about the traffic problems. Secondly, the clothes that he’ll be wearing are too thin. This is because Zai Zai’s album was originally planned to release in November, in the autumn time. However his album was delayed until winter, which means that Zai Zai will have to wear autumn apparel to publicize. No wonder he frequently says that he is freezing during activities.

The ever-lovable Zai has not even attended school for two months and he had already angered some other students?

Credit thank : m1ss@AF
Jan 14 2004 10 16 PM



The ever-lovable Zai has not even attended school for two months and
he had already angered some other students? Our newspaper received a
letter from a reader called Ah Fa1, and the contents of the letter
pointed to 2 main things namely: Zai has been missing too many
lessons; the number of days of leave Zai have had had exceeded the
number allowed by the school - this is very unfair to the rest of
the
students.

Zai's manager, Chai Zhiping said that as Zai had studied the first
year modules at his previous school, there are some modules which he
need not take. Others may have to study for up to 16 hours, but
Zai's
current timetable only includes 'Economics' on friday, 'Arts and
Life' on saturday, and 'Maths' on sunday, and he only need to attend
2 hours of lessons every day, hence it could have led to some
misunderstandings by the other students.

But, this reader, Ah Fa said rather unhappily that since school
started from 18th Sep till now, he had only seen Zai at the
beginning
of the semester, and the school rules state that even if a student
had applied for leave, if he had missed 6 lessons for a single
module, he'll fail that module, but it had been more than 6 weeks
since school started and nothing had happened to Zai at all.

Also, the school rules state that taking leave for a lesson will
result in a demerit point, and Zai has been taking leave - the total
points is 80, and a week is worth 16 lessons, if u calculate based
on
that, it won't be long before Zai will be declared as having failed.

But the thing that made other students really unhappy is that
usually, it's not easy for a student to get leave from school, but
Zai actually have had succeeded so many times - this is practically
a
case of double standards.

Also, many students have voiced out their thoughts and that is they
feel that since Zai don't need to come to school, if he still passes
his mid year exams, then wouldn't it be awkward for the other
students who attends school regularly but still score badly for the
exams?

Zai will be having his mid year exams next week, but starting from
this thursday, Zai will have to go to china to start off a series of
F4 concerts, and he will only be able to return to taiwan on next
thursday, hence he's bound to be missing lessons this week. Also,
the
minute he comes back, he'll be having his exams, add that to him
having to film MG2, one can imagine the amount of pressure he's
under. Zai had also confessed that he's not confident of passing
every subject, especially 'Maths', but he'll try his best.

Zai's manager, Jiang Yipeng expressed that he had long told Zai that
he must self-study or borrow notes from his classmates during film
breaks, but Ah Fa said that Zai is totally not compatible with
everyone else, and nobody will ever lend him notes.

If Zai cannot get a school to take him in, he'll be bound for army,
and Jiang said frankly that it's not important for Zai to be able to
graduate, what's more important is that his status must be that of a
student, only then will it delay Zai's duty to national service.

Jiang emphasized that at Zai's previous school, the company did not
keep in check the number of leave Zai had applied, hence resulting
in
Zai having missed too many lessons. Having learnt that lesson, this
time round, they have been applying leave for Zai according to the
school rules. Since school first started, they have had already
calculated the number of days of leave per week Zai can take, and
they make sure that he attends lessons as required.

ZAIZAI Online Interview Transcript courtesy of JustMe of Tsinoy

Credit thank : freakazoid@AF



thanks a lot justme... give credits if you want to post ot anywhere....
------------------------------------------------

ill try to remember all that the things zaizai said in the interview, but
holla if i ever forgot somthing.

zaizai was wearing orange shirt and white turtleneck and gray pants,
as usual he was laughin and making faces. and he had colds i think
because there were times when you can see/hear him coughin..

zaizai was ask about his studies (status) to which he replied, that
hes having a test tomorrow. and when ask how he studies his lessons, he
said he sometimes or most of the time studies inside the car to and
fro the shoots, and various activitis. when ask if he doesnt feel
sick that way, he said no, in fact he can study that way and has
grow use to it.

zaizai was ask if he has a girlfriend and he said he doesnt have one, because of
his busy schedules...ask if he is choosy and would like to have a
gorgeous girlfriend, he answered he doesnt think looks is important because what
hes really looking for is a girl with a good heart (a good inside as
what he said) he also said that whats inside is more important than
whats outside, thats why its also hard for him to find a girl, since
hes so busy and cant really get to know them inside...because that takes
time.. he also said that if he only wants a girl for her looks, then
that is easy to find and he can have that anytime...but he would
rather not, and said that he wouldnt date or go out with somebody
gorgeous(if shes not nice inside) just to gain fame and have a good
image and publicity.

zaizai on marriage: he said he wants to get married and have kids
but seeing hes current situation its not possible, but he still
prefers to get married at the age of 27 or 28 currently hes 23. because
he wants to see his kids and have a family on his own. but he said
("man man lay")hes taking it slowly, no need to
rush since he still have maybe at most 5 years more....who knows he
can meet her by the time he turns exactly 30.

zaizai on career and marriage: ask if he will quit the bz after
marriage he answered he would rather not because he loves what hes
doing, but if theres a need to quit, like if hes marriage will be at
risk (broken) and it will cause problems with his own family, he
will gladly quit, since he said its unfair to his wife, saying its
unfair if i ask a girl to marry me and in the end let her suffer.

zaizai on fears: he said people can kick him, push him around, yell
at him, curse him, bad mouth him, but he HATES and hes SCARED of
people faking it with him...magplastikan...thats when he was ask
what he fears most and another what he hates most. because he said he
doesnt want people to lie to him and fake like say nice things and
do kind deeds if they would rather not, because he can see through their
facade and that makes him mad. he said hell rather hear something
unpleasant from you than hear nice things and he knows its a lie.

zaizai on privacy:he doesnt like it when people come knocking on his
door, like the time when he came out from the bathroom wearing
boxers (what he actually said was underwear "ney ku")and found
someone in the living room, he was so shocked to find the girl there
and blushed, he thought she was too young to be her moms friend, so
he went back to his room and called her mom on the phone in the
living room and ask who the girl is...it was of course a fan that
her mom allowed into the house. he said he doesnt like it because he
feels that people dont respect his privacy and him personally because
they arent thinking of him and that hes tired from work and want to
rest sleep and have some privacy alone or some silence.

zaizai on fans outside his school: he said he doesnt like that too
because its late at night and still he sees fans waiting for him, he
says its dangerous for people to be out that late...not to mention
the risk involve, he said when he sees hes fans doing that (girls)
he wants to call the parents and tell or ask them whether they know
what their kids are doing and where there kids are?, he also said
its not good for him because example if a girl tells her parents hes out
with zz....and something happens to her, he will be
responsible...and the parents will blame him if something happens to
the daughter. so....to prevent that he advises his fans in taiwan
not to do so, and asked if it worked, he said it did since people
stopped doing that, hes happy that they listen to his advice or his
words.

zaizai on his accent and pronunciation: he said, its because when he was
growing up, they dont speak mandarin at home, they speak fokkien ior
hokkien...thats simple chinese by the way...when ask why? he said
its because of his mom, so now when hes mom tease him or he hears people
commenting about his accent, he playfully tells his mom "its because
of u i cant speak this well" but of course, her mom also has zz's
accent.

zaizai fave car compared to others: still bmw

zaizai fave artist: andy lau

zaizai on new roles: how he practice, he said he sometimes watch
movies with artist ling liang chio wei..

zaizai on his clothes: the host commented the orange sweater that zz
wore and ask if he likes bold colors, he said he doesnt, mostly he
wears monotone ones

zaizai on america: since a fan asked whether hes goin to states, he
said laughingly: what would i do there? when the host answered just
to see the sight and have a vacation, he said he already went to
states with his fellow f3 before and even performed there.

zaizai on philippines: he was ask about his visit here, and he
answered he had a great experience while performing here recently
since he was with the other f3.

will soon so fans be patient there because hes coming and also to hk to
promote his album (no mention of phil though sad-smiley-065.gif)

zaizai on shyness: he said hes very shy thats why he doesnt like to
be seen and be with lots of people, it intimidates him....he said he
doesnt even like crossing the streets because you all know that if we cross the
street cars would come to a full stop and , he says its because he feels as
though everyone is watching him.

zaizai on english: he said he feels its the most difficult language
for him to learn...

zaizai on cantonese: when ask if he wants to learn it, he said they
are already trying to learn the language although its easier for ken
since hes from singapore...but they are taking some lessons.

zaizai on guitar: he showed his hand and his callus as well as the
cuts, he said he hasnt had time to practice but he knows simple
chords, he was ask about the guitar lee hom gave and he laughed and
said its because lee hom told him a person who knows how to play the
guitar can make a lot of girls swoon or can attract girls
easily...and is very romantic.

zaizai on vacation: he now has some free time but it really isnt
much because hes going to start filming the new film...so not much time
to rest.

zaizai on the promotion: he admitted it that those who didnt get to
buy pajamas can now have the red envelopes "hong baw" with his logo
since they are giving it away as another promotional item.

zaizai on forgetfulness: he said hes not the type to remember
birthdays and such and can easily forget things.. he didnt even
remember ken's birthday until someone told him at the chatroom...

zaizai on kens bday: when ask if he will give something? or what
people give him, he said he wont...and is not really fond of giving
because hes scared that people will think if he gives them gifts they
will also be obligated to give him something when hes bday
arrives...but, since he didnt remember kens bday even if he wants he
cant give him anything now...but maybe he will greet him later, but
hes hesitating because he said ken has a little bit of a problem about a
friend of his (not sure of this because my reception got crazy) and he
doesnt know if its right to call..he mentioned though that ken is an
extravagant giver, (more or less he said) anything u want he
buys...like if u need this and that..hell ask u then buys it..or if
u want this and that..

zaizai on what he wants for his bday: when ask what he wants to
receive for hes bday from his fan, he said no need to buy gifts for
him because some of the things he cant keep he gives to the orphanage,
but they can still give him gifts if they want, if they dont mind
and feel bad that he gives it to the orphanage...like the teddie
bears and other stuff that he thinks will be of better use to
someone...because he feels teddies are suited better for childeren.

zaizai on dating a fan (ithink): he was ask if he would date a fan
(not sure on the fan thing since this is also the time the reception
acted up) he said its not that he wont date a fan, but rather he
doesnt think the relationship is possible because he will always wonder
and doubt whether the girl is with him because she like the company,
or if the girl loves and accepts him for him personally, and not
have some hidden agenda.

zaizai on mvs: he said he already shot 4 mvs all in all

zaizai on fave song on his album: he said its track 9 and even
helped the host locate it, after which it was played the background,
when ask if he liked the song because he underwent such thing
personally, he answered he hasnt yet, but he loves the melody and
finds the lyrics very touching..and also said that when he sings
that song although he hasnt undergone that kind of pain yet, he
feels as though he has...and he feels the song is sooo sad that he
cant help but feel the pain.

zaizai on crying: when ask if he cries, he admitted that he does
when he feels frustrated or sad inside a bathroom, then the host ask
if hes ashamed to let people see him cry like her mom thats why he
hides on the john,he said he isnt, and asked why would he? when he
feels crying is very good, because it makes one feels better afterwards.

zaizai's wish for everyone for 2004: have a great health...he said
just that everyone stays healthy and sorta like an expression which
kinda means jumping with joy. because he will also be sad to know if
others werent healthy even if he is....so he wish everyone including
himself very fit.

zaizai's weight: he said hes currently 72 or 76 kilos but he still
needs to lose some weight because he feels looks better if he does.

zaizai on hair color: when ask about what color hes hair is, he said
he cant really say because when he had it done, he was ask to choose
among different colors but through numbers and that hes afraid that
if he tells the fans what color he think it is, it might not be the
right one, and when the person has it done and its different he
might get shocked and blame him..he also said that even if the
person will have it done with the same color, people in general have
different hair color originally so it still wont come out like his.

zaizai on school atmosphere and classmates: he said hes very comfy
there because people dont treat him different, in fact they sometimes
share their food with him ..or he ask them if he can have a bite
(there was a mention of mcdonalds)..he also said that both girls and
boys are good to him and theres a girl around his age in class...and
people there are very considerate to him...like if hes not in, tells
him the assignment and stuff like that.

zaizai on his looks: he said due to his hair and to his being shy
some people think hes a girl, but when ask if that bothers him he
said it doesnt...

zaizai on jerry: when ask about jerry, he said jerry is very
professional, and knows how to pose and stuff, and is a
perfectionist...but he is very good in what he does...he even strike
a pose to imitate jerry

zaizai on f3: he said they are concentrating on their own now
although they admit when combind they are super sikat and they
create a strong force. but he feels everyone is just doing and going
into the feild in which they are suited for like some in singing,
some in acting.

zaizai's fave place: yi lan (thats his hometown)

hopefully you have enjoyed reading this, sorry if theres no more
punctuations and its jumbled up and also not in order...since im
just thinking and remembering as i go....please bear with the
typos smile.gif and this is about all i can remember smile.gif

1/15 5566 says Zai Zai is zi wei

5566's new album sold 100,000 copies. However Ah Xia feels that the company is exaggerating, he doesn't believe it. You would have never thought that Tony Sun would say, "Our company and 5566 wouldn't just 'pour water.' This sales number welcomes everybody go to Zhong Pang Shang to ask about. We are not like some other people who releases albums, and holding press conferences to announce how many they sold."

Ah Xia didn't hear wrongly, recently an artist that released an album and held a press conference, isn't that Vic Zhou (Zai Zai)? When they asked their manager Sun De Rong he said, "I never like to 'pour water' about sale numbers, this is my personality, I don't have to lie, these people from this type of company that 'pours water,' aren't they just comforting oneself?" What he means is that it's "making oneself happy."

1/7 ZZ yet to have a girlfriend

Credit thank : freakazoid@AF


Idol group's Zai Zai wasn't queer while taking pictures. In order to cordinate with this time's new album release the record company arranged a "romantic lover" image. Just seeing Zai Zai hold heart shaped balloons or standing under a starry sky is extremely full of deep emotions.

Zai Zai, "The most romantic thing between a couple is probably being at the seaside and look at the stars together!"

But it's a pity until now everything romantic was either Zai Zai acting in a drama or him imagining. The fated person also has not appeared! Zai Zai, "Of coarse I want to be in love, but right now I don't have a girlfriend. When I do I will definately say, however at that time I would also be secretly filmed!"

1/5 The 10 Country Alliance worldwide gathering

Credit thank : freakazoid@asianfanatics.net



Zai Zai’s “Remember I Love You” Taipei autograph session really is “global fans worldwide gathering” with fans from America, Canada, Japan, Wen Lai, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China and many more. It can be said as a “10 Country Alliance.” Not only did the autograph session have a number of 5,000 fans breakthrough, it established a new 6,000 plus record. Once again creating an unimaginable miracle. And the “mysterious fan” Da S found time to go to root for Zai Zai. Creating a “Meteor Garden 3” on stage, arousing the climax of the autograph session. And also causing the entire Xi Men Ting to be in inactivity all day long because of the “Zai Zai whirlwind.”

Yesterday (1/2) once Zai Zai, who, after 2 years is once again releasing an album, released his album he created a miracle. Fans have ordered all the record company’s release of 10,000 Zai Zai cartoon designed “blessed pajamas.” The new album’s hito made Xi Men Ting completely surrounded by Zai Zai fans, including fans from America, Canada, Japan, Wen Lai, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China and more, to all make a special trip to support Zai Zai to jia you. What’s worth mentioning is that Korean fans also especially created a “Zai Zai travel group.” The travel route included “Sony Record Company,” “Fu Long Agency Company,” “Xi Men Ting Rose Record Square,” and more. Every place was completely designed for the purpose of surrounding Zai Zai. Besides this, various countries’ media went to the trouble of traveling a long distance to Taiwan for the news coverage. Making the stage, which was already enlarged, so crowded that it was impossible to move.

Zai Zai’s “Remember I Love You” Taipei autograph session’s, with the support of the “global fans worldwide gathering,” line up rank could be said da pai chang long. Nearby stores couldn’t do any business and had no choice but to close for the day. Policemen were needed to maintain order. This mighty event also made the entire record company invariably take action in tension. Besides buying $50,000,000 worth of accident insurance Zai Zai they also hired 80 servitors to maintain order.

Zai Zai’s arrival caused the fans at the scene to feel too high almost leading to a rebellion. Servitors plus staff members exceeded 100 people but were not enough. Causing the autograph session to be on cloud nine once it started. Zai Zai is Sony’s “xin chun di yi pao.” (just means that it’s the first album of the year for Sony) That is why the record company especially created excitement with firecrackers and a red carpet to welcome Zai Zai to the scene. Never did they think that the fans would go high afterwards, pushing and shoving in complete chaos. Even all the servitors and staff members couldn’t withhold the fans’ enthusiasm. Not only were clothes torn, Zai Zai’s hair was pulled and butt was pinched by enthusiastic female fans; with numerous people constantly pushing forward. Zai Zai was almost unable to get on stage.

Global fans worldwide gathering, Zai Zai really broke the record! Two years ago “Zai Zai pillows” made a record when the autograph session went on for 5 hours signing for 5,000 people. Today under “10 Country Alliance’s” support made the record company to begin to issue numbers this afternoon for line up, already finished issuing the entire prepared 6,000 tickets. Equal to today’s record breaking autograph session number of people breakthrough 6,000 people! The record company especially arranged a “record breaking ceremony” for this historical moment. Zai Zai held onto a big golden hammer and hit the “record breaking machine.” Creating the fans to be at their highest, cheering for Zai Zai. And the 6,000 fans that lined up made Zai Zai sign from morning until night. It could be said as another miracle.

“Meteor Garden 3” played on stage at Zai Zai’s “Remember I Love You” Taipei autograph session?! The newest singe is “San Cai” is originally a fan of “Hua Ze Lei.” She not only gave him flowers but also bought a CD for him to sign. Originally at today’s “global fans worldwide gathering” record breaking “Remember I Love You” Taipei autograph session is not only global fans that came to support Zai Zai, even good friend Da S became a “mysterious fan.” Da S especially found time to attend Zai Zai’s Taipei autograph session li ting Zai Zai’s record miracle. Zai Zai didn’t know beforehand that Da S would be there. Once he saw Da S appear giving him flowers his eyes widened and said, “How come it’s you? Last time Bao Long came to visit me when recording, I though this time it should be Ken or Vanness!” Da S, who wore purple apparel, said that she wore purple to wish that Zai Zai could be da hong da zi, for his album sells greatly. Da S got Zai Zai’s new album for him to sign. Making Zai Zai in a touched state saying good friends really isn’t just made.

Mars Manga Impressions
Manga Impressions

Have you ever been the quiet person in school, wanting to interact with your classmates, but you just couldn’t do it – you were too afraid of ridicule. No? Well, then how about this? Were you the rebel in the class? Wandering in to school whenever you could, schmoosing with the opposite sex… hated, admired, respected, but a good heart underneath. Neither? I guess you just don’t make a good manga character then. Fuyumi Soryo’s shojo manga Mars takes you through the lives of Kira Aso and Rei Kashino (names written Western-style, family name last) and shows how star crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet really had nothing to complain about in comparison to Rei and Kira – but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Fuyumi Soryo’s art style looks feather –light. There are no harsh lines in any of the character design, so when they come up in an intense scene, it adds to the sense of shock and drama that she is conveying. Even in simple scenes, there is always attention to detail. Her art is perfect for this story. Speaking of the story…

Rei is a beautiful bishounen. (anime and manga ‘pretty boy) that is 6 foot 3, with light eyes, long unkempt blond hair and a ‘live for the moment’ attitude.

Kira is very conservative in her attitude and her dress. She is shy to the point that interaction with other students is a nightmare.

Rei and Kira meet by chance when Rei asks her for directions to the University Medical center. Painfully shy Kira, scribbles a map for him and dashes off. Rei goes to visit his friend in the hospital and finds a beautiful picture of a mother and child sketched on the back of his map.

Rei goes to class the next day only to find the girl that gave him the directions is in his class. She will not speak to him because she does not like his attitude towards others. Rei, not being one to be ignored, grabs Kira by the bottom one of her braids to turn her towards him so they can talk. Oddly enough, this strange gesture gets them talking. Kira longs to be an artist but does not have the funds to attend art school. Rei doesn’t care about much of anything, aside from his love of motorcycles. He would be content to be a professional racer.

Now, Rei and Kira are fairly screwed up individuals in their own right (this is explained more as the series goes on, but I assure you, it’s uber angsty) but there have to be supporting characters to make the main characters struggle. All the girls are in love with Rei; some of whom he has even slept with and some of the boys are in love with Kira – namely Rei’s best friend Tatsuya. (gee, I wonder if that will come back to haunt them?) Tatsuya is okay with leaving well enough alone with Kira but the same cannot be said for Harumi, a girl that is madly in love with Rei. Harumi has a quick temper and an awful mean streak. She takes out her anger violently and has her eye on Kira because Rei has shown interest in her.

Will Rei and Kira persevere? Will Kira get her first kiss? Will Harumi go through with her threats of violence? Will Rei go splat from his reckless driving? Will Tatsuya get a spine? Will I have to go through therapy after reading this series? Probably, but it is so good, what’s a few therapist bills? Joking aside, Mars is an excellent manga series. It is focused on romance and interpersonal relationships so if you’re looking for a quick paced battle manga, go read Real Bout High School. If you are looking for a good romance with an extensive back-story, and that soap opera feel, then Mars is definitely for you.

1/16/04 Zaizai to film in Sendai?

Credit thank : freakazoid@ asianfanatics.net



In order to let F4 break into the Japanese market, Cai Yue Xun, the director of "Mars" in which Zaizai Vic Chou will lead in, went to Sendai, Japan in place of Zaizai to have a look at the SUGO autobike circuit.

According to Angie Cai, "money is secondary, as long as we can let F4 break into the japanese market, i'm satisfied. We're now talking with a electronics company on filming an advertisement.

Director Cai Yue Xun has plans to start filming right after the Lunar New Year. He left today (15/1) to check out the proposed location of filming MARS, he's expected to return to Taiwan on 18/1. Right after the Lunar New Year, filming of MARS, in which Zaizai and Da S will lead in, is expected to start. In order to add more reality to the show, they are expected to invite Japan's top autobike racing star - Abe Norifumi - to act as a guest in the drama.

Producer Angie Cai said that although the show is primarily aimed at the chinese-speaking market, she also hopes that MARS will be aired on japanese television, just like MG will be beginning in March 04. In order to let Japanese accept it, they have invited top-notch acoustists to coordinate the live recordings. In order to sell in Japan, subtitles or dubbing may be neccessary, Angie Cai said, "most of the profits made may be directed to the dubbing in Japan."

According to Angie Cai's budget, the drama will have 14 episodes, each lasting 90 mins. It will take about NTD3.3 million to produce one episode, so the total budget is about NTD46.2 million. But in order to let F4 break into the Japanese market, and to let MG and MARS sell, dubbing may be neccessary and such expenditure cannot be witheld. Even Hollywood movies screened in Japan are dubbed.

In the past, Taiwan used to buy dramas from Japan or korea. However, if Angie Cai is able to do the reverse, such as producing dramas from well-known Japanese animations such as MG or MARS, then it will mean a better future for Taiwanese drama series.

1/16 ZZ: "Do I speak Taiwanese or Mandarin?”

Credit thank : freakazoid @ asianfanatics.net



Yesterday Zai Zai had started taking his final exams. Before testing, he especially went to Wen Chang Temple to “embrace Buddha’s leg” (means cramming) praying that he is able to pass his exams.

Zai Zai’s final exams are on the 16th and 18th. Yesterday he stopped publicizing for a day so that he can stay home and focus on studying. At night he went to school. So how does Zai Zai feel? Zai Zai said, “Although I don’t dare say that I have a lot of confidence, but ok endeavor.” There are many pressures as a student-artist; needing to use the free times when working to study. But Zai Zai says, “Saying that there’s no time is a lie, time can be sought after returning home.” Therefore even though this period of promoting his album is very hectic, Zai Zai still takes out some time to quickly cram after going home exhausted.

When talking about cramming, Zai Zai used the chance when going to the Xin Zhu’s Signing and Singing session to especially make a trip to Wen Chang Temple to pray. He prayed that he could pass his exams. He said, “I have the least confidence in English because there are many single words to endorse. That’s what I prayed for at Wen Chang Temple, to pass English!” Arriving at Wen Chang Temple, Zai Zai thought everything was a bit weird. He said that it’s because he rarely goes to temples to pray alone plus the fact that he usually went with his mother in the past, which is why he isn’t very familiar with praying customs.

Zai Zai lit incense and got a safety charm. The temple duke said to Zai Zai, “You just have to speak to God sincerely and your wish will come true.” Zai Zai asked him, “Then do I speak Taiwanese or Mandarin?” This almost made the staff members at the side create a laugh scene. Afterwards they expressed that Zai Zai’s silliness appearance, his cuteness makes people want to take a bite of him.

Zai Zai’s also wished that he would have good health. Zai Zai said, “Because I exercised daily when I was young my health has been very good, until arriving at Taipei. Because of the lack of exercise, I easily caught colds and it’s harder to recover once I get a cold.”

Zai Zai expressed that after the New Year’s concerts he caught a cold and he is still not well at the present. Every now and then he would cough, especially when he talks constantly and his throat would feel uncomfortable. He said, “A healthy body is required to have the power to proceed. Right now I really realize that health is precious.
