Vic Chou, Zaizai earns a lot in 2010 ! It hasn't been many days since the new year has started but he already filmed 2 commercials : one in Mainland and one in Taiwan, already pocketting 20Millions ! And starting from Feb 18th, the movie that he's starring "Killer Ou Yang Peng Zai" will start filming, to be replaced by "Back Home" which will be filming from April to October. From Zaizai's schedule, his chances of acting in "Black and White" movie is next to zero.
Compared to last year when half of his time was dedictated to film "Black and Whte", and still loosing the GBA, it is clear that this year, Zaizai's luck has improved.
Endorsement fees can be seen but not touched
Starting from January, Mainland has already started to broadcast his Rejoice adverts, a Shampoo brand he endorses for in the Asia area that he got paid almost 30 Millions NTD for, in Taiwan, Family Mart got him endorsing their Oden for 3 millions, and Chinese beverage brand "Kang Si Fu" reconducted his contract for one more year with the sum of 8 to 10 Millions. Zaizi gold magnet abilities are undeniable.
However, even though his endorsement and advertisement fees look enormous, they can be seen but not touched yet, he joked explaining : "The endorsement fees are paid by stages, when one phase is done with they'll pay for that one, I don't get everything all at once ! "
Martial arts and planting flowers, hard and soft at the same time
Zaizai endorsement took the first step but he will also film many movies and drama : including "Killer" which not only have an interesting character to perform but the cast and crew are also good enough to make Zaizai want to jump with joy.
To film this movie, Zaizai has to relentlessly practice martial arts, only to interpret to the best this ruthless killer, "Needs to have quick, neat, harsh movements, going on martial arts classes is only to interpret this role successfully."
But in contrast to the vicious Killer, in the movie, Zaizai's role is also someone who loves Bonzais and plants, to learn more about this interest, Zaizai started to "play with flowers", taking classes to know how to take care of plants. This role's harshness and soft side will be a brand new challenge for Zaizai.
And making Zaizai the most eager is course his partners in the movie, apart from female lead Sandrine Zhang Rong Rong, Variety shows comedian, senior Zhu Ge Liang may also act in it, Zaizai says : "Brother Zhu has a very comical feel, his shows are always full of laughing points, I think he is a cold faced laughing master. If I can really work with Brother Zhu, I think I will learn a lot of things from him, that will be the real great gain."
Multidimenssional roles to challenge acting skills
(rocker Zaizai)
"Killer" will be filming to the end of March, Then Zaizai will directly be filming the drama that Virginia Liu is producing "Back Home" until September/October. And he may have a second cooperation with Director Johnny To, with whom he already worked with in "Linger", as even though the two had been busy on their own, on that year they had signed a contract for 3 movies, and up until now 2 are still to be fullfilled.
Zaizai's manager Zhi Xiang Li says : "We intend to keep the period after August to Director To, we are currently beginning to discuss about the script, but there are also many other movies and TV dramas looking for Zaizai, but the ones he'll really be filming are still under consideration. This year will be the year for Zaizai to charge in both big and small screen areas, so we'll first do our best with the ones we already scheduled and then make Zaizai accept more challenge with more different roles and styles, to help him improve his performances.
Right now, looking at his schedule, no matter if it's the spiritless rocker he just acted as in "Love You 10 thousand years" or deceitful killer in "Killer Ou Yang Pen Zai", or even the military doctor in "Back Home" his strong will to challenge his acting skills is visible.
Comparing to that, if "Black and White" movie lacks of creativity, it not getting into Zaizai's works of the year can be forseen. His manager says : "Up until now we hadn't seen the script yet, so let's wait for that before talking about it again ! "
Disappointment about not being crowned are groundless rumors
From the time when "BnW" got Mark Zhao crowned GBA TV king, it got rumored that Zaizai and Mark relationship became awkward even until now, after 3 months, Zaizai's manager couldn't take it anymore and responded : "There are no such problems, everything got invented by the press, from the start Zaizai never really thought he would win, he had always been supporting senior actor Zhang Shi, so there are no disappointment or any shadow due to losing ! "
Zhi Xiang Li added : "I think Zaizai is doing fine, and he'll keep on going forward with his future projects, he didn't get any bad influence from the GBA."
But there still is no chance for Zaizai and Mark to work together this year, the topic of them avoiding each other will for sure go on and on....
