Jimmy Lin, Lee Wei at premiere of My Lucky Star at Anhui TV


Anhui TV paid a hefty sum of 10Mrmb to buy the exclusive rights to broadcast My Lucky Star starting July 1, 2008. The TV station invited the male leads Jimmy Lin and Lee Wei driving expensive sports cars to the premiere. Jimmy, whose wedding news was leaked to the public recently became the media focus. Even though he denies it and says that he’ll share his good news with the public if there’s any, but when asked which piece of jewelry in the show he wants to give to his girlfriend he immediately says the blue diamond necklace “The Queen Mary”. His wedding rumors don’t seem to be groundless.

No pressure starring in an idol series at 34. Jimmy did his own drifting stunts without any doubles.
My Lucky Star is about the second young master of a jewelry empire, Zhong Tian Qi and the swindler Xia Zhi Xing, who met by chance because of a piece of jewelry and developed a complex love story. This Taiwan idol series is different from other 16 ep series. Because of its high ratings when it was aired in Taiwan production extended it to 20 eps and gave the male and female leads a happy ending according to the wishes of the viewers. Anhui TV paid a hefty sum to import this series and will air it during the summer. Jimmy has always portrayed ancient characters in tv series. The reason he could star in this series is because of his racing background and the outstanding script. Viewers will see Jimmy wear expensive jewelries and drive expensive sports cars showing off his drifting skills. We have to mention that these dangerous drifting acts were all performed by Jimmy himself. When a reporter asked him whether he feels any pressure from starring in idol series at the age of 34 he said, “I don’t mind my friends describing me as an idol. Like my predecessor 木村拓哉 who still acts in idol series, I hope I can be like him.

Jimmy is tired of gossips about his love life and wants to give a diamond ring to his girlfriend.
The media focus is still on whether he’ll marry his model girlfriend. He doesn’t evade the question like before. He obviously came prepared. He thanks everyone for their support but hopes that the media will give him some private space. “I received more than 60 messages after I got off the plane. There are still more coming. All are from friends who congratulate me after they read the news. Even my dad asked me if I am really getting married. If I really have good news I’ll share it with everyone immediately. There have been many bad news recently that trouble me. The relationship between artists and the media is weird. I hope that the media will give us some space and a chance to speak our minds when it is convenient.” When asked which piece of jewelry he will give to her girlfriend he says “The Queen Mary” (The blue diamond necklace in the series.) Then he seems to have realized that it’s not appropriate and changes to “Zhong Xia Ye Zhi Xing” (the love bracelet in the series). No matter which piece we are able to see the importance of his model girlfriend in his heart.

The idols present flags to the Fang Yang fans
The press conference has the traditional magic, champagne and flowers and also arranges to have Fang Yang fans from all over the country to receive a flag from their idols. The Fang Yang fanclub has grown sizably after the show first aired. Each district sent a representative to the press conference. Beside a goodluck wish for high ratings each fan get a flag from Jimmy and Lee Wei. Lee Wei’s birthday is on July 9. Fans prepared a cake for him. During the 5 months that My Lucky Star aired in Taiwan it received spectatcular ratings. The fans said that even though they have seen it already they will get their friends together to watch the show again and hope the ratings will be good.

Joe Cheng, Danson Tang Both Disagree about Swimming Naked


Danson Tang and Joe Cheng both have different views on whether they will like a girl like Xiang Qin (Ariel Lin’s character in They Kiss Again for those who don’t know) in real life. Danson expresses that he is not good at swimming and will not swim naked, Joe also expresses that everyone needs to bear responsibilities for their own actions.

This is Danson Tang’s first time playing an amusing and camp character; he has many things to say about his way of acting. “After the experience of this drama, I’ll never be fazed by this type of drama again.”

Joe Cheng (Xiao Zhong) and Danson Tang have gone to Malaysia to promote They Kiss Again. When asked about the current competition over getting high ratings and asked if they would skinny dip if they broke records, Danson expressed that “Have a target for good ratings is good but we won’t use the tactic of swimming naked to achieve that. Anyways we’re not talented at swimming.”
To which Joe added jokingly, “I am!” Does he want to accept the challenge of swimming naked?

When asked if there will be a third instalment in this series, Joe said, “Unless there is a book to follow and an original cast to return to do it, there will be no chance.”

Joe states that the audience has the freedom to choose what drama they want to watch, but when it gets tactical he still thinks that organising more fan meetings is the most realistic way, it seems he doesn’t approve of good friend Ethan Ruan’s doings. “Of course if you’ve already said it, (talking about Ethan’s promise to swim naked), you have to bear responsibility for your actions.”

Earlier he commented on Vic Zhou’s ‘Wish to See You Again’ having bad ratings, he expresses that it’s the media making up rumours and that he really didn’t cause that much harm! Will he learn to mind his speech more carefully in future then?
“I’ve always been mindful about my speech but if the media wants to make things up, it doesn’t matter what I say, they’ll write what they want.”

In reality will ‘Jiang Zhi Shu’ Joe Cheng, ‘Gan Gan’ Danson Tang like a girl like Xiang Qin though? Joe says, “If we were in the same environment as the drama, living together and having so many experiences together then it could be a possibility.”
Danson says, “Her personality is actually kind of similar to the type of girls that I like a carefree personality and loves to smile. Even though everyone thinks that Xiang Qin is stupid but I don’t dislike stupid people, in fact I admire the determination and hard work they put in to move towards their goal.”

Joe and Ariel (Lin) have over forty kiss scenes in this drama, he says that he was very shy and when you watch it, you can feel the anxiousness at the time as well as the sweetness of the two and he hopes that those kinds of feelings can be transferred to the audience.

“From when I first entered this industry until now, Ariel Lin is the actress who I have worked the longest together with. So there is enough connection and familiarity between us. We both have different personalities, and I have learnt a lot of different ways of thinking about acting and life from her.”

Joe expresses that whilst filming the scene when he is performing heart surgery, the director wanted it to look very real thus he went to find pig’s skin and a pig’s heart along with many other tools to create the impression of blood. The unique smell from this made him want to throw up after filming, and he didn’t dare eat meat for around one or two months afterwards.

Danson states that whilst filming the scene where Gan Gan had to get his stomach pumped, the director tried to persuade him to drop his trousers but to no avail so in the end; they had to get a body double in.
When Joe thought back to that scene, he couldn’t help but laugh, “That body double’s bottom was a lot darker than Danson’s.”

Danson also laughed and said, “They were scared that when they showed that scene, it will affect my image so later, they got the make up artist to put a layer of foundation on him.”

Two good looking guys not competing over looks, but privately talking about work…

This is Joe Cheng’s first time in Malaysia; fans in Malaysia gave many flowers to him to celebrate this. And with Danson Tang’s second time in Malaysia, fans also hung up a poster for him (?).
These two good looking guys with a seemingly good relationship laughingly said, they both do not privately compete over who is the best looking but rather, they meet up to talk about work.

Danson Tang’s plans are to have his second album released before the end of the year, will not accept any new dramas for the time being. And Joe’s song for The Kiss Again: Zhong Yu Yuan Wei has also been successful (?) but he does not have any plans for singing. Saying, “Even if I do sing, it will only be a one off. My heart is with acting.” He will be busy with another drama’s overseas promotion in the upcoming period, only accepting scripts for new dramas in August.
“I hope to have the chance to act in theatre or in a film, it doesn’t matter if it’s a Wu Xia film or a horror movie… seeing as I haven’t acted in either. I want to experience it.”

Following Up Ethan Ruan's Role - Nicholas Teo Has No Pressure

(Kuala Lumpur) A drama starring together Nicholas Teo and Amber Guo, "Invincible Shan Bao Mei" 《無敵珊寶妹》will be replacing the show "Fated to Love You" which has the current extreme high rating in Taiwan starting the end of July. Being the main male lead for the second time, Nicholas frankly remarked that he has no rating pressure but only worrying that he lacked the ability to successfully portray the drama's narcissistic and haughty character.

《Fated to Love You》has been gaining high level of popularity ever since it was aired with rating breaking ten. "Invincible Shan Bao Mei" 《無敵珊寶妹》which cast includes Nicholas Teo, Amber Guo, Roy Chiu and others will be taking over. It has been winning everyone's attention before shooting even commences.

Nicholas expressed through his manager, Li Sook-Teng that drama rating has never been his pressure. “According to his views, a show's achievement or loss is not only one of the cast's problem. He thinks that rating is not something he can have control over so his sole pressure rests on the worry whether he is able to act out his character well."

《無敵珊 寶妹》's cast has just undergo costume ordering last Friday. For the time being, the drama team has decided for shooting to formally begin in early July. Sook-Teng disclosed that the overall production crew had their first meeting just last Friday. Nicholas had only then been informed of the personalities relating to the drama's characters.

“In the show, Nicholas will play a business owner as well as a famed host. He is narcissistic and arrogant. That is why his name will right away be known as 'Invincible' (無敵). Such character is a huge difference compared to Nicholas' real attitude. Thus, it's a great challenge for him. He's presently working hard on sorting out his own frame of mind.”

As to whether Nicholas will do the same as Ethan Ruan in making rating promises? “Wait till the rating breaks record and we'll talk again then!”Sook-Teng laughingly said.

Kim Jang Hoon collapses in concert


This should be subtitled, “Korea: The Land of Overworked Pop Stars.”

Kind of a frightening sight, isn’t it?

Singer Kim Jang Hoon collapsed in concert on June 28 and was sent to the emergency room while performing as part of the “West Coast Festival” concert being held for the benefit of revitalizing the local economy after the oil spill devastated the region last year. After singing only two songs, Kim collapsed onstage, in the middle of singing his third, “Champion.” He recovered consciousness in the ambulance, but his condition is described as “requiring absolute rest.”

It seems we get another singer/actor/celebrity collapsing every other week or so, with “overwork” and “exhaustion” cited as the overwhelming culprit. Granted, it used to be that “exhaustion” was the catch-all word for American celebrity hospitalizations too, but we all know that’s just code for less-savory reasons like drug abuse or Britney-esque meltdowns. At least in Korea, exhaustion does actually seem to be the actual reason. It certainly was for Kim Jang Hoon, who’d reportedly overworked himself in preparation for his performance, getting only an hour of sleep a night for the past week.

He wasn’t able to continue the concert, although fellow singers continued after he was sent to the hospital. Members of punk-rock band No Brain and Super Junior (pictured below) headed to the hospital to visit Kim afterward.

Jiro and Danson Relationship

Even though Taiwan Idols Jiro Wang and Danson Tang has been rumored to be in a relationship, and then rivals, but the two of them are actually really good friends.

A HK television station has bought the rights to air Rolling Love in August, and will invite the two biggest idols in Taiwan, Jiro Wang and Danson Tang, to come promote it in Hong Kong next month. Although there were rumors circulating that the two has become in a conflict because of the image size difference on the poster of Rolling Love, but Danson who has a smaller size in the poster says that he doesn't mind, "The poster is probably organized by age and experience, Jiro is the oldest, and he's been in the industry the longest, so I don't have any problems with this whole thing." And Jiro says he's been framed, "This is so
exaggerated, my picture isn't four times bigger than his! It's only two, three times at most, ha! Actually I didn't make the poster, so I don't know how to respond." Regarding the rumors that they are in a conflict, the two of them find it a joke, because they are really good friends. Jiro says, "We would make plans to eat and go shopping whenever we have time, plus our backgrounds are really similar, we both love our mothers the most, so we get along really well." Danson says that whenever he sees that Jiro is unhappy, he would send a five word text message for him, "It is 'Brother I will support you'! I think this phrase is really encouraging."

Don't Mind Dating Fans


The two that says they know each other really well does not mind dating their fans, "If it is the one, their profession and status does not matter, as long as the feel is right!" And the two has been met with some crazy fans, Danson has his hand injured because four, five people roughly grabbed his hand at the same time when he was in Thailand. As for Jiro, his butt was touched. "I don't even know if it's a male or female, I am just shocked!" And then he smiles and says that Hong Kong's fans are really athletic, "There's a lot of security everytime I come out of the airport, but the fans can always get pass them, very amazing!"

they're just good friends.

Joe said: "I can stil feel the anxiety, shyness & sweetness while Watching the playback after the kiss. I had collaborated with Ariel Lin the most since my debut. We are very familiar with each other. I learnt some acting skills from her. I gained alot from our collaboration."

As for "new member" of the sequel, Danson Tang, had to act as a funny & b*tchy male nurse. He said that in the beginning, he was quite reserved but they (the casts) got familiar with each other, he is able to get into the situation automatically. He hope to have the opportunity to try a more subversive nature role & won't mind if he has to act as an ugly guy.

Danson revealed that he was nearly tricked into exposing his butt in the drama. In the end, they found a double for the scene.

Danson said: "My substitute is a professional wakeboarder & his butt color is kinda dark. I think he'll destroy my image, so the make up artist applied foundation on his butt. All of us surrounded him in a circle, watching him. Fortunately, I was not the one exposing my butt."

When he open the bag, he saw "fake bottoms" that the nurses uses for their practice. THe nurses laughed & make fun of him & he was embarrassed.

Fairchild Radio is looking for 5 boyz and 5 girlz of Asian heritage between the ages of 16-25 to be contestants in this year’s Sunshine Nation contest. For the last nine years we have been seeking out outstanding talent and offering fascinating opportunities to young people in the local community. We started with the Sunshine Girlz competition in 1999, which gave young women the chance to sing, dance and perform their way into the attention of leading talent scouts. We then decided to give their male counterparts a chance, and transformed the contest into the Sunshine Boyz in 2002, giving young men the same opportunity to pursue their dreams of stardom.

Finally in 2006, we took on a whole new vision, uniting our Boyz and Girlz together in one Sunshine Nation. Some of our Sunshine alumni have taken on exciting careers in the entertainment business in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China. Most notably, our 2004 Sunshine Boyz Champion, Calvin Chen who is now one of the members of the hottest boy group in Taiwan, Fahrenheit.

Few would argue that Fahrenheit is the biggest boy band sensation in Asia since the legendary F4.

Show Lo Becomes A White Guardian Angel For The Blind



Show Lo is the acclaimed "iron man" of the entertainment industry. Just his careers in singing, filming, and hosting have him busy until next February, his work schedule is packed. A while back, he had gotten a high fever and needed to get IV drips due to over-exhaustion. But under the cordial invitation by the Foundation of the Blind, Show, without hesitation, squeezed in some time to be the annual spokesperson for Foundation of the Blind. Unthinkably, they finally penciled in a day for filming, but they were met with a capricious "Wind God" where a typhoon rolled in. At first they were worried that this would then delay their progress, and that Show wouldn't be able to find any more time to do this, but to fight for a speaking ground for the blind, Show insisted to continue working in the wind and rain, they had to finish this mission. Following Andy Lau and Richie Ren, the foundation for the blind invited the healthy, energetic, king of popularity Show Lo to be their annual spokesperson. Besides filming 2 commercials for the Foundation, Show used his creativity and artful talents to personally made a design for the Foundation's charity donations items, putting his love and care for the blind into action ; for 50,000 vision-disabled friends in Taiwan, contributing his love and care.

Show's caring heart is second to no one, he was once filming GTV's "Hot Shot" at Chang Bing Show Chwan Hospital, and learned of a fan that had gotten into a car accident and was admitted into that hospital. He immediate asked his staff to ask for a visit. After Sichuan's big earthquake, he also donated $1 million RMB ($4.4 million NTD) with other fellow artists. Recently he's busy releasing his album, and promoting for his new drama, but still found time to film a charity commercial for the Foundation for the Blind.

In the charity commercial, Show became the guardian angel for the blind, wearing a charming white suit, symbolic of a white cane, always accompanying the blind. helping them walk about freely on their own. For his first encounter with these vision-disabled people, Show had done some studying on his own. He not only took some time to learn about the “Ask, touch, guide, answer” basics of knowledge for the blind at the foundation, but also personally experienced holding a white cane and how inconvenient it was. Show expressed, “Closing your eyes, and not relying on your vision at all. Don’t even mention dancing, even taken a step forward is a little scary, especially when the roads in Taiwan in more complicated. Besides relying on the white cane, vision-disabled friends also need yours and my extended helping hand.”

In the 2008 annual charity commercial, Show is guarding 3 vision-disabled friends, who have all had training in direction-finding, so they could regularly go out, take the bus, go to and from work with a white cane. But even though they’ve had the training, there are still some complications more or less. The commercial director wanted to convey the most realistic life of a blind person, so he especially had the production observe how they move around, and figured that when they didn’t have a white cane with them, it was really too dangerous! For example, there are always construction pits on the roads, and if a blind person doesn’t use a white cane, they could very well fall and hurt themselves. Uneven steps and stairs, bridges, tunnels, and even motorcycles that weave through little alley ways could become a life-threatening obstacle for the blind!

Going this memorable interaction with some vision-disabled friends, Show not only lent his helping hand to the blind, but also hopes that every one be able to become a guardian angel for the blind. When you’re walking on the street, so long as you see someone with a white cane, please don’t hesitate to lend out a helping hand. Only with the help of everyone will these people be able to come out of the darkness, and live an obstacle-free life.

Rainie Yang Casts Wu Zun Aside and Pretends CPR Scene with Da Dong is a Kissing Scene


Rainie Yang Casts Wu Zun Aside and Pretends CPR Scene with Da Dong is a Kissing Scene

Reporters have disclosed that Rainie Yang has accepted 八大’s idol drama 《愛就宅一起》(Superstar Express). It turns out that the person she wanted to work with is Wu Zun, not Da Dong. On the 27th Rainie, Da Dong, and George Hu were filming an outdoors scene. While in a hurry to clarify that she and Da Dong are truly friends, Rainie revealed that the night before the last, the two of them were singing together to further their friendship (唱歌搏感情). Yesterday, they filmed a CPR scene at a poolside and Da Dong frequently stuck out his tongue and humorously made suggestive gestures. Afterwards, Rainie would generously stick out her tongue for him. When their lips separated, they created strings (of saliva), pretending the CPR scene is a kissing scene.

The director originally arranged for Rainie to go into the water, however because of a ‘woman’s monthly’, she luckily didn’t have to. It was Da Dong’s first time with a diving scene. In addition, in that scene, he has several lines of English which added to his nervousness. With some swimming and foreign language skills, George Hu became Da Dong’s diving and English teacher. Da Dong says: “For this diving scene, I especially went to work out at the gym for 3 hours.” The upper part of his body has now formed triangular and muscular angles. Before and after diving, Da Dong kept fussing with his hair, making people tease him that he is girly. Teasingly saying that it does matter that he is exposing his two points, but his hair is the most important.

Rumored to have wanted to work with Wu Zun, Rainie says that Da Dong is also very good. She was asked about her other new drama “Campus Belle”. There are possibilities of have some scenes with ex-boyfriend Roy Chiu. As she was asked about him, Rainie’s expression changed and used her rumor with Show Luo to block the question. “Xiao Zhu is also in “Hot Shot”, we will have scenes together.”

Passing the Baton from I Love Shan Bao Mei Nicholas Teo & Amber Guo shouldering the beam together


TTV & SETTV's idol drama《命中注定我愛你》"Fated to Love You" achieved extreme high ratings. However, follow-up drama 《我愛三寶妹》"I Love Shan Bao Mei" 's female lead was tough to hunt for. The choice candidate changed from Cyndi Wang, Joe Chen to Ariel Lin. Up till now, it was decided to be music circle's newcomer, Amber Guo Cai Jie. She will partner with Nicholas Teo
and they will both team up to make a fresh new pairing.

*Beam in Chinese is pronounced the same as Liang(as in Zhang Dong Liang - referring to Nicholas Teo)

Chen Qiao En road to first sister: from leftovers in the fridge to drama sharks fin

In today’s world where the ratings determine everything, Chen Qiao En who has been in the industry for 8 years use figures to proves that she is the true idol drama queen. Her drama “Fated To Love You” has achieves the best ratings that idol drama has so far --- break 10. The last highest rating drama “Prince Turned To Frog” was starred Chen Qiao En. This girl who is both simple and charming not only excel in both acting and hosting, she also wrote a book “See or Not?” Her energy and charm are equally astonishing. How does she reach the top? Let us go and “see”.

No matter how many people denounce Taiwanese idol dramas’ various malpractices and retarded symptoms; they have to admit that in the entire Chinese region, only Taiwan is carrying the heavy responsibilities of producing idol dramas. “First Sister” and “First Brother” of idol dramas naturally becomes the golden prize of actors of every generation. When we switch on the TV, it’s not hard to find that the female leads of Taiwanese idol dramas are always Chen Qiao En, Raine Yang and Ariel Lin. Recently “Fated To Love You” starring Chen Qiao En broke 10 and became the highest rating idol drama in Taiwanese history. She is also the female lead of the previous record holder “Prince Turned To Frog”.

Working with different partners in two different dramas and can still set new records, the title of idol drama first sister falls on her. If Barbie Hsu can achieve a high status with 2001 “Meteor Garden”, then perhaps Chen Qiao En can declare: welcome to the era of Chen Qiao En. What charms does this lady process? How does this girl who had been frozen by her boss for half a year and viewed as a “difficult” willful actress by her friends manages to climb step by step to the top? Other than Chen Qiao En, who else?

In 2005, Chen Qiao En acted as a gas tank carrying girl Ye Tian Yu. Her natural and comical acting produced great chemistry with Ming Dao in the drama. Not only did the drama achieved high ratings that are unmatched even by “Meteor Garden”, it also became a topic of hot discussion in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This year, Chen Qiao En has a complete change in “Fated To Love You” and acts as “Sticky Note Girl” (referring to unremarkable but indispensible) Chen Xin Yi. Her portrayal of a passerby character like this becomes a character that everybody talks about. Chen Qiao En said frankly: “When I heard about the ratings, I couldn’t believe it. How can we have such a high ratings? Because we never expected this kind of results before filming began. After this I was very happy because my performance has been recognized. The ratings are the most direct reflection that the audience likes my performance and accepts me and they like me. That moment is really very very happy.”

“Prince Turned To Frog” launched her to fame but she wasn’t certain that the audience likes her? Chen Qiao En has her own thoughts: “The feeling is different. Friends who are familiar with me said that I did not really acted in “Prince” because my character is Ye Tian Yu’s character. After “Prince” I did not have any works that stands out and leaves an impression on people. This time when I first received the script I didn’t even know how to act --- she doesn’t has much lines, was pregnant before marriage, miscarriage, which female lead of idol dramas is like this? When the drama starts airing, friends will say to me ‘You can really act. You are so difficult in reality but you can act this type of girl.’ This makes me feel that I not only can act as Ye Tian Yu, I can also act characters that are quiet. Maybe I can also act evil girls or girls who are scheming. “Fated” let me feel that I have successfully challenged myself.”

The saying goes: Rome is not built in one day. After acting for 8 years and participating in 10 idol dramas, among them unknown minor characters and outstanding leading roles, Chen Qiao En’s acting skills slowly matured with each drama. “When I was acting a supporting character I often questioned myself. I would be afraid and worried whether my performance is good or not? The director didn’t ask me to act in this way, but I acted in this way. I was worried that I couldn’t say the lines properly, so I spoke faster. Now I have learned to slow down a little and say my lines with the character’s expressions and feelings. I am more certain of myself and my method and will add in my own thoughts. When I started acting, I didn’t know about the camera. But now I will examine how they place the camera, why does the director film it in this manner, when filming my side profile which expression looks best etc.”

After struggling in the entertainment industry for so many years, Chen Qiao En still feels that she has not develop her own style and still raw at acting. “I feel that I am not a genius type of artiste. A good actor depends 50% on talent, which is our own feelings towards acting. Maybe when we read a script, we can immediately have an image. The scene and the way the characters speak plays in your mind. But this talent is not enough to let you succeed. I belong to the type of artistes that are opportunistic. I am quite lazy and never read my script at home and never practices. I only know roughly what I am acting but I don’t memorize my lines and I can’t memorize them. I often wait until I am at the scene and the director asks me to rehearse with the male lead. Then I will practice where to walk and when to turn back my head etc. I don’t memorize my lines and what is even lazier is that I will say my lines in my own way. Taiwanese directors often don’t require their actors to recite word by word from the script. If I feel that some parts are not right, I will say ‘Director, can I say this in another way?’ Luckily the director gives me a lot of room to act.”

Don’t study the character’s psychology, don’t refer to the story background and able to enter the character with 20 minutes of rehearsal before filming? Chen Qiao En is confident regarding this: “When I put on makeup and wears the costume at the scene, I can easily put myself into the situation and don’t need a lot of time. Normally 10 to 20 minutes will be enough. Characters in idol dramas are more or less the same. They have too many areas that are similar. Even in “Fated”, my character can be acted by anybody. Anyone who spends some time studying the character can play the role. I haven’t meets a character that causes me to feel ‘Wah, it’s so difficult to act.’ I can’t say I have acted out my own style but I will still add in my own thoughts.”

What did Chen Qiao En used to be like? Green? Shy? Cute? People who are familiar with Taiwanese entertainment gossip knows that the best way to describe this newcomer eight years ago was: willful. Longer description is: very willful. When Chen Qiao En first started out, she wasn’t highly regarded. But luckily her first travel show “China Is So Big” was an immediate success. “Little Red En” simple and cute personal won the people’s heart and she was given a chance that causes many to envy, that is to co-host “Variety Flagship” with the big brother of variety show Jacky Wu.

But unfortunately Chen Qiao En ruined everything by drinking. She just fell out of love and used drinking to numb herself. In the end when she went for recording, she smelled of alcohol and her body started to go out of shape. Even in normal recording, she was not used to it and couldn’t adapt. Her performance on screen was distracted. The news angered her manager Sun De Rong. Sun De Rong asked her frankly what did she want? Unexpectedly her reply was “Nothing!” The furious Sun Zong ordered her to be frozen and the company even considered ending her contract. This causes the “J-Stars first sister” to spend an entire year without work and with almost no income.

During this half year, Chen Qiao En experienced the hopeless situation in life and was tortured both physiologically and mentally. She also displays symptoms of “mental anxiety” and “house arrest photophobia” and couldn’t sleep every day. Due to her pride, she refused to shed a single tear and would rather stay at home to wash her latrine every day. “I often couldn’t sleep for 3 to 4 days. Even now when I came home after work, I am very tired but will still go to clean the floor and wash the latrine before I can relax.” She even emphasized, she will clean the latrine until it is sparkling clean before she is satisfied.

Misfortunes never travel alone. After Chen Qiao En was frozen by her company, her bad luck continues. She suffered the painful experience of falling out of love, her family short of money and she had no job all at the same time. Because the company doesn’t have a salary system, having no jobs means having no income. So to save money, other than going to the company for training, she slept at home every day and nearly couldn’t foot her apartment’s rent. “One day I slept too much in the day and woke up in the middle of the night. I went to the balcony which was freezing and looking at Taipei’s night view, said to myself, ‘One day I will thank these people for teaching me to be brave.’ From then on, I don’t complain about life misfortunes any more.

The Chen Qiao En who didn’t know when her bad luck would end finally gained the notice of SET’s vice president Su Li Juan in 2003 and won the role of female lead in idol drama “100% Senorita”. Someone said spitefully to Su Li Juan then: “Take Chen Qiao En out from the freezer, do you go digging for leftovers from the fridge in your spare time?” To this Su Li Juan replied: “She is not leftovers, she is sharks fin. Normally she is put in the freezer but we take her out for sunning occasionally!” This battle is only the beginning of the change in her luck. In 2005 “Prince Turned to Frog”, J-Stars focus their attention on promoting Ming Dao. Her manager Sun De Rong even gave the appraisal that “Chen Qiao En is too old and not suitable for idol dramas”, causing her to go for almost a year with any new drama. Even before this year’s “Fated To Love You” goes on air, people’s merciless criticisms reached her ears: “Will anyone watch this kind of old fashioned love drama?”, “Chen Qiao En and Ethan Ruan acting together? What good drama can they produce?” Today, she can finally feel proud and become “sharks fin” for once.

For anyone else, when they look back on their young and rebellious days, they are either full of regret or filled with gratitude. But not Chen Qiao En. “The biggest emotion is that I have never changed, I have always been like this. I have my own persistence. The boss wants us to hand in an attainment report after every drama but I feel it is not necessary. I didn’t hand in any in the past and I don’t hand in any now either. Like now “Fated” is very popular and they want me to grab the opportunity to come out with an album on this drama but I don’t want to. I wish to sing because I want to sing, sing when I am in the mood and not because the drama is selling very well. But when you are a newcomer and you use this attitude in your affairs and when you are acting, they will say I am willful. Now I still use the same attitude to do things and they say that I have character. My road is very tough. I met with many setbacks and often asked myself ‘Why is it like this? Must I change myself to suit others and live in others’ opinions?’ But I have persisted and now my life is calm. I don’t worry whether people like me or not.”

Chen Qiao En is already 29 years old. In idol dramas this age is awkward because many viewers feel that age after 30 is no longer suitable for idol dramas. Regarding this she is serene: “I don’t think there is a huge problem when it comes to age. I look younger than 5 years ago. The question is my state of mind. I don’t ask questions like whether or not to act in idol dramas, whether it’s a major production or who my costar is. What I wish is whether or not my role is fun and what my thoughts on this character are. I hope to go to the mainland to film a period drama and act as a swordswoman. Taiwanese period dramas are not as good as those in the mainland and many things can’t be realized. I haven’t act in a period drama before but I want to challenge roles that I have never tried before.”

“First Sister” talks about her opponents: wish to act together with other female leads

Among the male stars that she worked with, Chen Qiao En only have gossips with two of them. One is “100% Senorita” Wallace Huo and the other one is the one whom fans still hope they are “together”, Ming Dao. She still denies these two scandals. It was only after a long time that Wallace Huo finally admitted that they once had a relationship. “She wanted too much but I only wanted a career. On love we could not agree.”

Even though she had starred in many idol dramas, in real life her views on love is completely different from “idol drama female leads” and cold. “Idol dramas give many girls a dream and many wish to be cute, beautiful and have a romantic love like the female leads. Many tell me they like to watch my dramas because they see themselves in me. When I heard this, I am very happy but romances in real life are not like idol dramas. I am a strange, eccentric and self-involved person. I can’t give up the things that I like. Living with other people is very difficult. On my own I can control many things. I can decide how many dogs I want to have. To give in to others, I will feel “how troublesome”. I don’t have big dreams when it comes to love. Many people say that I am not cute enough and not feminine like this. But if you really love me why care about these. If you like sweethearts go look for sweethearts, if you like me then accept me for who I am. I won’t change myself for love, I am who I am.”

After “Fated”, people confer the title of “idol drama first sister” on her. But Chen Qiao En doesn’t seem to attach much importance on this title: “I feel that whether or not I am the first sister is not important. I have acted in so many dramas and have put effort in all of them. It’s just that this drama hits it. Calling me idol drama trumpet flower (little sister) is okay too.” This idol drama “first sister” idea of “first sister” is the China’s Sun Li. “I like actresses Maggie Cheung and Sun Li who acted in the new ‘Shanghai Bund’. When I watched them act, they will really inspire me and touched me. I will read their interviews because I am curious about them and wonder how they act so well. If I can go to the mainland to act, I also wish to cooperate with Sun Li and also Zhang Jing Chu. The way they act in the mainland can’t be found in Taiwan.”

When talking about the fight of idol drama first sister with Taiwan’s Ella and Ariel Lin, Chen Qiao En laughed: “Please, I am a loyal fan of S.H.E. When acting in ‘Fated’, I know that Baron Chen is familiar with them and often harass him ‘bring me to their concerts’, causing him to scold me for being troublesome. When I watched Ariel Lin at home I will laugh loudly too. But in Taiwan, in order not to created unwanted news, we have never appears together on the same stage. But I think that they also work very hard. I kind of hope that all of us can act together in the same drama. That will be great.”

Fahrenheit in tandem-bike race , Fans chase after and crash



On June 21st, as spokesmen for healthy activities, the four big boys from Fahrenheit participated in physical challenges under a hot sun in Harbin Park at Dagui. It made sense that as a former fitness instructor, Wu Chun was not fazed by either the tandem-bike racing with fans or rock-climbing. Jiro Wang and Calvin Chan almost became “iron legs” in riding the bicycle. Arron Yan due to his old cruciate ligament injury in his right leg was not suitable to strenuous exercise. Furthermore, he was also suffering from stomach pains at the scene. In the end, he had to rely on help from the fans to reach the finish.

[Fahrenheit] participated in tandem-bike riding and numerous Chinese and international fans chased behind them. Because there were simply too many people, the speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. There was even an accident during which some fans crashed into each other. Wu Chun was assigned to do wall-climbing. He put on a safety harness and a red safety helmet which led to Calvin Chan teasing him: [Red hat is at least better than green hat.] It was easy for Wu Chun to do rock-climbing. He even humorously did a trade-marked Spiderman move. He said that because his fitness center in Brunei has rotation-style rock climbing, he had already climbed three times.

Jimmy Lin won the Tian Si Light Weight Sports Car Challenge Series

On 21 June 2006, at Zhuhai International Circuit, Frestech Pan Delta Super Racing Festival is being held. This is the last major national racing event in China before the Beijing Olympics.

At 12:25, Tian Si Light Weight Sports Car Challenge Series’ race cars began to enter the track. This is also the first race of the weekend. The thousands of fans who have arrived at the track early are ready to enjoy the race.

With the cars on track, the fans gathered as near the grid as possible, because they wanted to get near Taiwanese superstar Jimmy Lin, probably the best driver in the entertainment circle. Jimmy got out of his car before the race and took the microphone, he sent his greetings to the fans and then he pleaded to them to donate for the Sichuan earthquake disaster. He expressed his concern and support for the earthquake victims, he also announced that his team will be donating some of the souvenir sales income to the earthquake relief fund.

5 minutes later the race began. On the warm up lap, all the drivers weaved left and right to get their tyres up to working temperature. Today Zhuhai’s weather is very good and track temperature is very high. The conditions are good for good racing.

The race began, pole sitter Jimmy Lin made a very good start and was some way ahead at turn 1, after 3 more turns, Jimmy was already 2 seconds ahead and he kept his advantage all the way around lap 1.

The race continues, the Radical race cars, modeled after Le Mans prototype racers, are able to do 1:44 seconds laps around ZIC. This lap time is quicker than the touring cars, testament to its purebred racing legacy.

On lap 3, no 2 lost control and went off track. Lots of dust and grass got thrown onto the track. and the driver has to retire from the race. On lap 4, second placed Choi Koon-Ming was getting close to Jimmy Lin, the gap between them was just 0.7 second. Another lap later, at turn 14, no. 9 Stephenson outbraked no.1 Lai Zhi-Cong for third place, but the car zigzagged on the straight, allowing Lai Zhi-Cong to get his place back. Unfortunately Lai’s car then had a problem and he stopped at turn 4’s sand trap.

On lap 6, no. 88, 66 and 44 were running close together, the gap among them was less than 0.5 second. No. 66 Albert Liu then burst past no. 88 Nigel Farmer to lead the group, but the others were able to keep up. On lap 9, Nigel Farmer then spotted a gap and went back ahead of Albert Liu. Behind them, no. 44 Steve Garner also took advantage to get ahead of Albert.

By now, Jimmy Lin was already 6 seconds ahead, Choi Koon-Ming’s challenge has already faded. In the end, Jimmy wins the race, with Choi Koon-Ming second and no. 9 Stephenson in third place.

Jay Chou writes his own ringtone to show his love

Jay Chou once said: "I'll only be spokesperson for unique things!" Because he thought the Motorola mobiles were very cool, not only has he taken on the spokesperson work two years in a row, he's also asked the workers by him to use this brand of mobiles, you can't blame the company for loving him, they say he's the most competent spokesperson.

Being a busy superman, plus the fact he has to attend events every now and again, hold concerts or record songs, Jay Chou is very dependant on his mobile's ability to do short texting, even if he's got no time to listen to calls, he can concisely and clearly send messages through text, he also revealed: "In the past when I was dating, I loved sending text messages to the other person the most." But the contents of the message were both unromantic and not corny, he said coolly as usual: "Being corny doesn't suit my personality!"

Besides this, Jay Chou often uses the mobile's ability to store music, play and arrange, the interesting thing is, he helps himself and friends to write ringtones, they are very much different from downloaded music. According to reports, this move is persuasive to getting girls, his ability to write always makes girls exclaim in delight, besides magic this is his best move to attract female attention.

Question: On average how long does it take you to change mobiles?

It's not set, especially after I've become a spokesperson for a mobile, as long as there's new ones I'll be the first to try them out, the frequency of changing mobiles has increased relatively, anyway I don't just have one number, so I carry around 2-3 mobiles.

Question: Do you often lose mobiles?

No, my personality is one that is cautious and careful, this kind of thing doesn't happen easily to me.

Question: You like sending text messages when you're dating, what about when it's the break up? Do you use texts to tell her?

I haven't tried it! It's better to talk for this kind of thing! Otherwise you are really disrespecting the other person. Anyway I think you can still be friends after a break up, being a gentleman is very important.
