Zaizai hairs out to copy "Ah Jia"

"Zaizai" Vic Zhou Yu Min refused a New Year's Eve apparition that would have earned him about 5 Millions NTD to dedicate himself for the movie "Love you for 10.000 years", two nights ago, our newspaper spotted him with "chubby version of Bianca Bai" 加藤侑紀(Yuki Gato) filming together at the WuRi distillery, his look in this movie as a rocker also got exposed, bearded and with a hedgehog head, it is very different from his usual clean and handsome Idol look, from afar, he looked like Van Fan's "Ah Jia" from "Cape N°7".
Beard, hedgehog head, complete copy of "Ah Jia"
Zaizai in "Love You For 10.000 years" will act as a spiritless rocker, his look was quite rough. Very late two nights ago, we spotted him filming at a distillery, bearded, with a hedgehog head holding a guitar case, and wearing old torn jeans, a very "rocker" look ; as he got out of the break room, to start working, from afar, we could swear it was Van Fan's "Ah Jia" getting out from "Cape N°7 " ready to act in the sequel.
New movie will be a comedy, wants to become Taiwanese Stephen Chow
"Love" movie plot is about "a japanese girl who comes to Taiwan to work and a Taiwanese rocker..." the movie's female lead, 加藤侑紀(Yuki Gato) has also the same feeling as Chie Tanaka from "Cape N° 7" ; however "Love" movie will be a comedy, Zaizai coincidentally had the dream to become "Taiwanese Stephen Chow", he said he really wanted to act in a comedy, preferably with senseless humor like Chow's. Looks like when Zaizai said he wanted to be an "elite cowboy", the next thing was a comic.
Using the same room, not playing big shot
Zaizai first filmed in the distillery with the female lead, but because Yuki looked like a bigger Bianca Bai, many people mistook her for Bianca. Even though the two are in love in the movie, as soon as he heard "Cut" Zaizai immediatly jerked away, if not talking with the support cast, then he'd go to the break room. We also discovered that Zaizai and all the other cast members were using the same room, he did not for a seperate one, being very easygoing.

Conflict Between Jerry Yan and Vic Chou Complicates F4 Reunion Efforts
http://www.cpopaccess.com/2009/11/conflict-between-jerry-yan-and-vic-chou.html
credit thanx to XiaoPauli@asianfanatics.com for the translations
While members of legendary Taiwanese boy band F4 (JVKV) have been pursuing solo activities for several years, appeals for the group to reunite still remain prevalent. With news of Jiangsu Satellite TV inviting F4 to perform for their New Year’s Eve Concert spreading like wildfire, discussions are heating up once again.
In addition to the New Year’s Eve festivities, there have been rumors of the group reuniting for next year’s Spring Festival evening festivities. As of now, some members of the group have responded to such an invitation, but some have yet to reply back. Furthermore, since the schedule of the invitation has yet been set, chances appear slim of it occurring. There are currently problems with F4 getting back together to perform, as it appears that such a reunion trip may rest on Jerry Yan’s schedule at the moment. However, informed sources have recently conveyed hidden reasons in the difficulties in an F4 reunion.
It has been reported that an F4 reunion is the one trump card for the New Year’s Eve event, and the newest developments regarding the invitation for F4 to participate has remained tightlipped with the organizers, whom have stated that “they are still striving for it, but it is still difficult to determine F4’s schedule.” Yet, informed sources have reported that the statement provided by the organizers served only as pretext to the real reason, which is that Jerry Yan and Vic Chou no longer wish to perform on the same stage.
Contrary to what has been observed at the various events attended by F4 in recent years, the state of the group has often been one where not all members have been fully committed in participating, including news of Jerry Yan and Vic Chou’s slim changes of sharing the same stage.
Despite the fact that the four members of F4 have often demonstrated public displays of solidarity, the vast differences between what is publicly displayed and what actually occurs between the members are often heard in the news. One case involved Jerry Yan’s unwillingness to compromise on the release of CDs and DVDs from their 2006 concert in Hong Kong, which led to the loss of tens of millions of Taiwanese dollars in royalties. In another case when F4 was invited to go to Japan, the group arrived to the airport in separate cars, and then deliberately went into the same car afterwards.
While an F4 reunion is wished upon by many viewers, such a possibility has been complicated with the four members belonging to different management. It took three years to organize the four members’ schedules to sync for their 2008 concert in Japan, so while organizers are working hard to get F4 to participate in the New Year’s Eve festivities in good faith, time constraints may diminish the success of such participation.
When a reporter contacted a representative of the group organization, the representative did not deny a statement in regards Jerry Yan and Vic Chou making it difficult for F4 to reunite. He only expressed that while the organization has not received a clear response from F4, both sides are actively working hard at it, and are still seeking ways to further communications.

No Vic & Mark in Black and White Movie?
Source : cpopaccess
Credit thank : madelinepoh @ AF
Mark Chao, the co-lead actor for the massively hit Taiwanese drama “Black & White”, said today that if Vic Chou doesn’t want to be in the movie version of “Black & White”, then he doesn’t either. Chao went on to say, if there’s no “ruffian (black)”, then there’s no “Black & White.”Mark didn’t play the hero from that show today, but he did play the part as “Store Supervisor Mark” for a convenience store café, personally handing out cups of coffee to ten lucky people at the shop’s first day opening.
After winning “Best New Actor” at the Golden Bell Awards, Mark didn’t defend himself for the continuous negative press coverage he had been receiging, but instead gave a tearful speech during the ceremony. He later jokingly said “If I’m going to fake tears, then I’m also going to fake being handsome a bit.”
Mark also said, “In fact, I have no problems with people who strongly believe in themselves.” He later said that one person he cares about is Vic Chou. After the Golden Bell Awards ceremony, the two lead actors of “Black & White” have been keeping in contact by phone, MSN, and text messaging.
Mark Chao at a recent convenience store café promotional event.
Plans for filming a movie version of “Black & White” are currently in the works. Chao said that before they shoot, he’ll watch the drama version again a 100 times. Regarding Vic turning down the role, Mark said, “If there’s no ruffian (black), how are you going to shoot “Black & White?” Outside sources said that if Vic doesn’t want to be in the movie version, then they’re thinking about removing the “black (ruffian)” part of the original drama’s name. Mark said that he was not aware of anything about that.

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

After competing at the Golden Bell Awards, 'ruffian' Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) & 'hero' Mark Chao are about to face off again! Recently, Zai Zai's camera advertisement was released on televison & online and even the MRT has displayed a huge billboard, making it difficult not to see. And as for Mark Chao who seemed to have disappeared for a while, his human cut-out has been displayed outside stores and today, he will also make an appearance for his coffee advertisement. The 2 ads will be played on television frequently, and not only must the 2 compete for popularity, they will also be competing for who can sell more of their product.
Although Zai Zai lost at the Golden Bell Awards, his new camera advertisement, filmed at Sun Moon Lake gives off a very artistic feeling & texture. Promotions began with sending out large posters, online promotions, 3C pathway, and then they targeted the MRT. Recently, television stations have also been heavily broadcasting the ad. Zai Zai's manager expressed: "Everyone has commented about the fine texture, and Zai Zai himself is also very pleased with it."
Zai Zai received a 7-digit sum for the ad, but this is a small number compared to the potential hundred million dollars they may gain back in revenue. Zai Zai will also be holding a rally event, and currently they are arranging his schedule. Due to filming effects, in the ad, the already handsome Zai Zai gives off an even more handsome & manly appearance. And he expressed: "This is a must-have, our company is full of handsome men (Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Wu Zun also recently joined), so the advertisement has to be even more handsome."
After Mark Chao & his father Allen Chao filmed a coffee advertisement together, there were rumours that the father-and-son were not on good terms. Earlier, they declined Yu Mei Ren's invitation to attend her show. This ad will also be heavily broadcasted from today, and is already causing a hot topic amongst the public. Mark will also make an appearance today, and hot topics such as the 'Golden Bell curse' and his relationship with his father are bound to be the focus of attention, but this will also work to the advertisement's advantage. And with the 'ruffian' and 'hero' releasing ads at the same time, who will be more popular and who will be able to sell more of their product?
