[NEWS]Vic Zhou and Vivian Hsu’s Upcoming Movie Cohabiting with Fashion Releases First Stills.

Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) is currently in Beijing filming a modern TW/C collaboration movie called Cohabiting with Fashion, co-starring Vivian Hsu and HK-actor Alan Tam. Zai Zai plays a white collar employee of a fashion company, and Vivian is a typical hard-working average girl. The movie supposedly depicts how modern young people work hard to make their dreams come true, fall in love, and so on and so forth. Not very original or compelling stuff, but it’s a quick shoot and allows Zai Zai to have some recovery from his grueling year long shoot for his upcoming drama The Other Shore 1945.

After Zai Zai wraps this movie in June, he’s back to Taiwan to make his movie with Ella Chen called Destiny’s Pair. And after that movie wraps, he’s back to China in late August when the mega-blockbuster period epic The Yang’s Clan movie begins filming. Poor Zai Zai is working so hard, but he looks healthier and I prefer him working rather than brooding.

Supposedly Raymond Lam has just been matched to be the Fifth Yang’s bro, and since we know Wu Zun is Sixth brother and Louis Koo is Big Brother, I still contend Zai Zai would make the perfect Fourth brother. Netizens are having loads of fun matching the confirmed actors to the brothers. It’s totally cosplaying our favorite actors.

This news article I’m about to summarize is pretty inane, but hidden in the sheer asinine text is one important fact – the mainstream TW-newspapers are beginning to report on Vic Zhou and Wu Chun preparing for their roles in the upcoming HK/C martial arts movie The Yang’s Clan (which I posted about here). I’m always worried that early casting reports, which remain subject to the actor actually committing to it. To hear that Vic is actually working out for his first martial arts role, which further confirms his involvement, fills my heart with glee.

Though I do have to echo some witty Baiduers who noted the pointlessness of working out for period role since all that muscle is usually covered up in layers of robes and/or armor. Uhm, tell that to Aaron Kwok, who reinvented the hot shirtless warrior image for The Storm Riders over a decade ago, which was the only good thing about that movie.



The article notes that movie goers love seeing bromances and/or male rivalries on screen, and with the new generation of TW-leading men making their transition to the movies (such as Ethan Ruan in the upcoming The Flying Guillotine, Wu Chun for 14 Blades, The Kingdom, and now The Yang’s Clan), the audience is sure to get their fill of their favorite stars on the big screen. The articles goes on to quote Vic’s manager as saying that Vic has been traveling with free weights and works out during his spare time, in preparation of a very physcial role to come as one of the Yang brothers who goes to war.

The lamest comment in the entire article is without a doubt the following gem, which I paraphrase – while Vic can hardly be expected to get muscles as large as Wu Chun (see example of said muscle above), he’s young enough that some working out will net him a toned physique that will carry plenty of selling points. ROFLMHO – TW-media, it pains me to read you guys attempting (un)insightful commentary.

Thriller "The Purple House" press conference held yesterday in Suzhou, Jiro Wang member of popular boy-band Fahrenheit and Tong Liya who became famous from " Gong/Palace " featuring as male and female lead. >"The House" is a suspense thriller romance, already shot loads of drama, Jiro Wang is very sure to look good in this movie, he said: "I have selected this movie because of its script, when I read [the script] , [I was] moved to tears".

He stated another reason for his filming, is "to learn" from an environment different from not the same environment as idol drama's, would be doing very hard for the role's reality . Mainly regarded as "Chocolate Boy's" image and now from a boy into a man, in the acting is also a major breakthrough, the transition effect of the film will become a major attraction.

Tall and with a handsome face, usually doing Idol Dramas , the very first film, Jiro naturally spent a lot of effort, specially grown a mustache for the new role, in order to further integration into the crew not so easy, talked to Wu Chun , " I was in lot of pressure, he told me to concentrate and be more outgoing, I had previously been very slow [getting into character before], and now much better. And, my partner ( Tong Liya) is also very welcoming." Jiro think there's a lot of pressure working with his homeopathic Loulou(?) Tong Liya," I saw the "Gong/Palace", she simply cries like a water faucet. Cry cry, too much! I can not compare. " Tong Liya little bit embarrassed," Crying scene in this movie are even more than in Gong!

The story focuses on a rich girl staying abroad, Li Zhou Tong, who comes home with her fiance to own the Legacy of his father, which opened the story of a dusty memory . About half of the film is done, and the film is expected to be completed in September to meet with the audience.

'The Other Shore 1945' with Vic Zhou and Janine Chang released two more trailers, Word is that the drama will air in late May in China, and early July in Taiwan. However, the Chinese version will in fact be dubbing over the Taiwanese dialogue, leaving all the characters speaking Mandarin. The Japanese dialogue portions remain intact.

The Chinese television commission has long had a rule that there can be no regional dialects on any television show, period. Foreign language is fine, but a regional Chinese dialect is prohibited, mostly an antiquated rule to promulgate Mandarin Chinese as the official dialect amongst the hundreds of regional Chinese dialects out there. Since Taiwanese is a regional dialect, it’s a no go. That means I’m going to have to wait until July to watch the drama on the Taiwan airing, which will have all the languages spoken as the drama intended. The two new trailers look awesome, so have a look.

The upcoming TW-movie Bad Girl (女孩壞壞) with Ella Chen and Mike He held its pre-production costume fitting and first photo shoot of its two lead actors yesterday. Ella plays a hardscrabble high school student who loves her family, and forms a girl gang called Bad Girls to protect the neighborhood and keep it free of crime.

One day a movie production comes to her high school to film, and the lead actor Justin (played by Mike) is an arrogant movie star who dazzles all the girls. Due to circumstances beyond her control, Ella’s character becomes the lead in the movie-within-a-movie, pitting her against Justin, and sparks fly.

Mike and Ella have immediate chemistry, mainly because they are easy-going actors who have a great sense of humor in real life, and have known each other for quite a few years.

'Bad Girl' will start shooting in the early Summer. This means Vic Zhou and Ella’s movie Destiny’s Pair will likely go into production earliest at the end of the year.

It's recently been revealed that Wu Chun's contracts with HIM and Comic had expired at the end of last year and there are no signs of him renewing the contracts after two months. He has stated before that the reason he would stop singing would be for his father. While there have still been promotions for a Fahrenheit album release, all the work Wu Chun has done for it was merely to fill the last of the requirements of his contract.



It has also been leaked that Wu Chun has dropped out of both his upcoming series (Absolute Boyfriend) and movie (Summer Holiday 2) leading to many speculations of him preparing to leave the entertainment industry. As of present, Wu Chun has expressed when interviewed that he has thought about leaving. For his fans, though, he will not depart rashly. However, he will not be putting his whole heart into the entertainment industry in the future.



In the five years he has been in showbiz, Wu Chun has only been able to take a vacation on New Year each year. This has been making him feel ashamed at the neglect over his own family and has previously been made to think about working less and spending more time taking care of his father. Wu Chun's father also hoped that his son did not have to work so hard and go back to Brunei to led a simple life. Thus, at the end of his contract last year, Wu Chun moved back to Brunei, and has been there since.



On February 13th, the third branch of Wu Chun's fitness gym opened and when he was interviewed then, he finally revealed what he was truly thinking. "I have always said that if I was happy doing what I did, then I would continue. If I wasn't happy, I would return to Brunei. Everyone knows that the entertainment industry isn't the only thing I partake in. The company has discussed renewing the contact with me, but I have not made a decision on my future yet, so I've been pushing it off."



Wu Chun also emphasized that Brunei is his true home. Seeing how happy he was at being home, he was asked whether he really hadn't thought about leaving the industry to which he answered, "I do want to a little because I really miss my family. Since coming back home, I have been very happy, but also feel a bit guilty because I didn't take good care of my father in the past and wasn't able to accompany him to the doctors for his back and legs."



Thinking about the past five years, he said, "I originally had a pretty good life, but I also had a sense of accomplishment when living a life where I could take care of myself. At the same time, that satisfaction was cut in half. The half I lost was spending time with my family and my freedom. I actually don't have much confidence in my acting, most of the force that pushed me was from my fans, so I won't speak of quitting so easily. I will continue working, but I require a lot of freedom and will only take on jobs I like." Regarding work in the entertainment industry, he said, "It requires sacrifice. I really cherish everything that I learned each day while working. It will be helpful in all the decisions I make in the future. Even if it will be hard, I will face everything with a positive attitude."

Could this really be the end of Fahrenheit?
