2/27 Help! This dude is stuck in uncool tearjerker
 
 
THIS is probably one show that Ken Zhu wants to
forget.
Before Meteor Garden ould propel this F4 poster boy to
stardom alongside Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou and Vanness Wu,
Ken was in a Taiwanese tearjerker called Sunflower.
While Ken played one cool rich dude in Meteor Garden,
he was just a rich dude in the uncool Sunflower.
He plays Xiao Long, the pampered only grandson in a
large family ruled by a draconian matriarch.
All his life the troublemaker Xiao Long has been
protected by his grandmother’s wealth and influence,
and this incurs the wrath of his own father, who is
jealous that his son is more favoured than he is.
As with all families with more money than they can
deal with, there’s a lot of fighting among the member
for their share of the moolah.
In typical Taiwanese soap opera style – think Taiwan
Ah Seng and Fiery Thunder bolt – the men do a lot of
backstabbing, plotting and all that nasty stuff.
The ladies just look wretched and do a lot (and I mean
a lot) of sobbing, except for the control freak
granny, of course.
Rising starlet Lin Weijun (infamous for cheating on
WeWe’s Lin Youwei with Ambrose Hui) also has a
supporting role here, as Xiao Long’s cousin.
Apparently, it was a toss up between Jerry and Ken for
the role of Xiao Long.
But in the end, Ken’s sunny disposition won him the
role – rather apparent from his hair-flipping and
toothy grins throughout the show.
And since then, Ken has gone onto play the shaoye
(Mandarin for rich boy) many times more.
But maybe Ken has done it once too often. For the
actor in him seems to have trouble shaking off the
spoilt brat persona even now.
Sunflower is showing over VV Drama (StarHub Ch 55),
Saturdays at 10.30pm

Pardon, what’s your name again?

When F4’s Vanness Wu was here recently for movie
promotions, a curious reporter stood up and asked:
“Were your parents hoping for a girl to call Vannessa
when then had you?
Vanness chuckled – though he’s probably heard the
question a zillion times.
For the record, the American-born star did not choose
it himself.
It was his parents who named him after a road in Los
Angeles, known as Van Ness.
But, at least his unique name had made many people sit
up and take note.
Welcome to the world of Asian showbiz, where some
celebrities pick the most bizarre names for
themselves.
What’s a walking road sign when compared to, say,
Noddle, Jingle, and Shooky?
Is it just bad English? Or do these ludicrous names
have logical explanations?
Here we try to unearth the stores behind every unique
celebrity name.

"Big Card?" We can't take the burden
Posted: February 28, 2004

If one must immediately say a “big card player”
celebrity, Lan Zheng Long, Jerry Yan, Qin Yang, Leon
and others would probably be selected. They are not
actually that spoiled. The several times they “played
big card” were all a result from a misunderstanding.
Jerry Yan:
Escape group to practice, is that wrong?
When Jerry Yan held a concert in Hong Kong, he usually
hid in his room by himself not interacting with the
other F3. At that time, the media suddenly inspected
and discovered that Zai Zai, Vanness and Ken were
backstage putting on make-up and preparing their
clothes talking and laughing. Only Jerry escaped the
group. Before Jerry, who was originally an unskilled
dancer, got on stage, he hid in his room, wiping away
his sweat and practicing. At that time he was shocked
and smiled shyly.
When the media reporter returned to Taiwan, the
reporter put in big letters that Jerry escaped his
group and “played big card.” He was antisocial,
shutting himself in his room and did not interact with
others. Jerry replied angrily to this issue, “I can’t
dance well so I need to practice even more than
others. Before getting on stage I was in my room
practicing. I took it very seriously. What’s wrong?
Why does everyone have to treat me like?”

Energy "Niu Nai (Milk) was forced to join F4???
 
He called Angie Cai....Angie Cai suggested next time
called "Auntie"
 
Artistes if possible, don't easily attend
entertainment programme called "Kang Xi Coming".
Energy attended this programme and was asked to play a
game called "Zhen Xin Hua Da Mao Xian (that's mean
whatever you said, must come truely from your heart)"
Energy's member "Niu Nai (Milk)" was asked to answered
"Which Energy members do u wish to see him joining
5566"?  With regards to this sensitive question, Milk
was asked to telephone Angie Cai (F4's manager) to
express that he wish to join F4 as his punishment.
Because of this, Milk don't dare to phone Angie Cai,
therefore another Energy member's Shu Wei helped him
to phone Angie Cai.  When the call is through, Shu Wei
shyly asked Angie Cai: "Cai Sister, I am Shu Wei from
Energy, our group leader Milk wanted to leave our
group, don't know if he can join "F4"?
When this sentence was announced from Shu Wei, Shu Wei
and Milk was already very scared and having cold
sweats, as for Angie Cai, her reaction was "this news
was really shocked, but Angie cai was very calm and
said, im supposed you all are having a programme
recording now".
Once Angie Cai knew that Energy was really in
recording "Kang Xi Coming" programme, Angie Cai said
in a humourous way that " if i know earlier, i will
react if the news is true", next time if Angie Cai
still have this kind of request, she will suggested
that they should call "Auntie"! (actually im not sure
why angie cai asked them to call auntie).

Vanness Wu “Proposing” Big Risk

Intensely chasing the distressed girl Hebe, noble prince Vanness shows his love. In “Qiu Hun Shi Wu Suo’s” (Office Proposal) first monophyletic, “Ma Que Bian Feng Huang” (Sparrow Transforms into a Phoenix), Hebe portrays a girl from an impoverished family. In order to marry Hebe, not only was Vanness mutinous to his family in the drama, he even eloped with her. In the end he also overcame acrophobia and stood on top of bridge and screams to Hebe, showing his love for her.

Vanness, who have played as a rich guy several times, will once again play a noble prince in “Office Proposal.” But that this time he’ll be learning “Meteor Garden’s” Bao Long and San Cai. The male is rich and the female is poor. However, to seek true love, Vanness will first break off all ties with his mother, acted by Xu Gui Ying. In order to win Hebe’s heart, the acrophobic Vanness let out tooth and nail and climbed up a bridge to shout to the world, “I swear I will definitely marry you.”

Because the winds were too strong the day of the shooting, Vanness didn’t climb up the bridge. The mischievous Hebe first said in a frightened state, “Be careful! The winds are so strong today, you must be careful or you’ll fall down!” Vanness at the side showed no signs of fear until the director ordered him to stand atop. Vanness, who was originally not afraid of heights, had signs of fear taking over him and blurted out, “Will we be filming long? I’m already feeling light headed!”

3/3 ZZ fan got cheated on the internet

A fan with the screename "xiao qin" revealed to a reporter that she was cheated 50,000 - 60,000 dollars and almost 'did' it, all for the love of ZZ. "I surfed the net to find someone who knew ZZ. The result was a bunch of cheaters, but I don't blame ZZ." Xiao Qin said that there was someone online that revealed that ZZ's car got damaged and he wants to borrow money to repair it. Wanting to help ZZ, she gave the person 10,000 dollars. "There was also someone that said they are willing to bring me to see ZZ as long as I get in bed with them." Luckily she was afraid and didn't reply.

There are many of these cheaters on the internet and Comic Family recommends that fans visit Comic Family, comicfamily. mymuch.com, and Sony Music, sonymusic.com.tw to check for official schedules and other things of F4.

ZZ warns Da S not to fall in love with him

A gentleman ZZ shows full confidence in his coming TV series "Zhan Shen MARS" but 'warns' emotional and yet dedicated to love Da S not to fall in love with him after shooting the drama.

is originally extracted from a Japanese comic series. It then has been used by the producer who produced outstanding results from Meteor Garden, Angie Cai, and again directed by Cai Yue Ping.

ZZ acts as a 'psychopath' (just kidding) racer and as well as a 'walking-sex organ.' Therefore, in order to change his current _expression, the director then urged ZZ to watch more movies and do more homework. ZZ then shows that he has full confidence shooting this drama..

Talking about one night stand, ZZ claimed that he had never done it before, and he could not guarantee he wouldn’t in the future. "If it’s gonna happen, I can't do anything much to do as well." He thinks that if someone is to love a person, he or she must feel that they got enough chemistry or the feeling of love must be there, or it won’t be called LOVE.

Lately, ever since ZZ interfered in Lee Wei and Xu Wei Lun's relationship, Da S made fun of him, telling him not be a third party standing in the way or he would drop into a drain in the end. Da S then laughed. ZZ then retorted, "Oh, really? You better not fall in love with me in the end." Da S was then speechless. Lastly, ZZ also made it clear that he and Xu Wei Lun are just good friends and from the beginning, he did not know that Xu Wei Lun is Lee Wei's girlfriend.

Jerry starts new company for tax purposes

Lately, the news is that Jerry will leave Fu Long and
start his own company, resulting in the collapse of
F4.

However, F4's manager states that this is all a
misunderstanding, as all F4 members will have their
own company for tax purposes. People probably
started the rumours when they saw Jerry applying for a
indepedent company. As for Jerry's contract renewal
issue, there is no news at this moment but F4
will definitely not disband. The company has arranged
for Jerry's album to be in May.
