New Pepsi Cm to be broadcast in Tw

http://www.gnews.com.tw/news_photo/04A/2004/07/07/a0470743.jpg

The Pepsi commercial that F4 filmed in Jordan will be
broadcasted in Taiwan on the 15th. The 4 hung on steel
wires to fly and walk on walls. Their defense skills
were prestigious. However, the four risked their lives
for this prestigious appearance. Vanness Wu and Jerry
Yan hung on steel wires on a 10 story high cliff
acting as spidermen. ZZ risked his life flying between
cliffs while Ken Zhu overcame his fear of heights.

This commercial that Pepsi’s 9 stars worked together
hasn’t been broadcasted in Taiwan yet. But fans that
couldn’t wait already downloaded the commercial off
the Internet to view. However, starting on July 15th
you will be able to see the 1-minute version of the
first chapter on the sofa of your living room. The
second chapter will follow with a mysterious guest
fighting with F4.

All 9 stars are very powerful. F4 took the important
responsibility of hanging on steel wires, flying in
the air to save people, walking walls, and other
challenging actions. In the second chapter F4 split
into 2 groups at an 8 story high cliff to film. In a
scene that only lasts a few seconds, 100 people were
needed to control steel wires. Vanness Wu and Jerry
Yan only depended on the steel wires. They were
climbing up the walls like spiderman. ZZ and Ken Zhu
stood on the wall assisting them.

After the scene was done filming, Jerry and Vanness
were too playful. The 2 spidermen were playing on the
cliff and scared the crew. When the 4 were coming down
from the cliff, rocks kept on falling down so it was
frightening and dangerous. In the commercial ZZ is in
charge of flying and walking on walls. He said,
“There’s a lot of pressure. If I NG, then the 8 would
murder me. Does the director actually think that my
defense skills are the best or is he joking with me?”

Shanghai Fans Failed to meet F4 fans

Be it all over Asia, the name of F4's personel arrival
always gets chaos. The chaos came back when ZZ came to
Shanghai's airport.

Going to one of the biggest cities in RRC regards of
shooting an advertisement matter, the youngest in F4
was informed that there were around 200 fans waiting
for him. Few of them brought flowers to be presented
to ZZ. But because of the unhandled scene, the guards
held back ZZ who was coming out to the main door.

ZZ himself could not be interviewed around those
'happenings' , cuz he has the tight schedule. He just
finished Zhan Shen, went to S'pore with Jerry for the
Gen-Y concert, after that headed straight to Malaysia
for the promo album.

Vic’s appeal

http://www.star-ecentral.com/news/story.asp?file=/2004/7/7/music/8347080&sec=music

Vic Zhou, who is pursuing a solo singing career,
updates LI EE KEE on his upcoming projects.

IT WAS 10 on a bright Sunday morning. Despite
appearing like he had just woken up with droopy eyes
and dishevelled hair, Vic Zhou Yu Min looked
absolutely adorable, especially with his goofy grin.

It had been a hectic two days for the singer who is
affectionately called Zai Zai. He had performed at the
Xin Shi Dai Yan Chang Hui (translated as the New
Generation Superstar Concert) in Singapore with
artistes such as Penny Tai, Qiu Ge and fellow F4
member Jerry Yan before his stopover in Kuala Lumpur.
He also held a showcase and autograph-signing session
at Sunway Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon, Selangor.

About 4,000 fans, including some from Indonesia,
Thailand, the Philippines and Singapore attended the
showcase. Even the Hong Kong media were present.

Zhou was here to promote his new Mandarin album
Remember... I Love You. It is his highly anticipated
second album after his debut release Make A Wish
(2002). An easy-listening record, it features 10
breezy and romantic ballads.

When asked if he has improved vocally, Zhou said he
feels he has and elaborated: “It is based on feedback
from fans and the record company. The producers also
agreed that I have improved.”

Zhou expressed interest in writing his own lyrics. “I
will not be doing it in the near future as it requires
experience.”

Many would remember Zhou as one-fourth of Taiwan’s
popular boy band F4. And who can forget the craze they
generated with their TV serial Meteor Garden three
years ago? Thanks to the overwhelming success of the
show, Vanness Wu, Ken Zhu, Yan and Zhou became
overnight sensations.

Their first Mandarin album, Meteor Rain, was released
in 2001. While the group has not disbanded, each of
them has embarked on a solo career.

Zhou had been busy filming TV serial Zhan Shen (God of
War) in the past six months. For the second half of
the year, he will be fulfilling commercial and filming
engagements.

On his solo singing career, Zhou said: “During
promotions, it is just me and I have to do everything
on my own. But if it were the four of us together
(referring to F4), it would be more fun.

“That is why at the moment I prefer acting because it
is not a solitary job, there are the director and
crew.”

The 23-year-old revealed there are plans for the F4
members to work together again.

At the Persatuan Wartawan Hiburan (Entertainment
Journalists’ Association) music awards in October, his
song Ai Zai Ai Ni (My Love for You) from his Make A
Wish album as well as F4’s Jue Bu Neng Shi Qu Ni
(Can’t Lose You), taken from their Fantasy 4ever
album, have been nominated for best original song.

“It is great that all four of us are nominated because
we rarely get the opportunity to be together. If we
could all come to Malaysia, it will definitely be
fun.”

Zhou is rumoured to be dating Sammi Cheng. When asked
if he would attend her concerts in Hong Kong later
this month, he coyly replied that he would if his work
schedule permits “because watching shows by other
artistes would help me become a better performer”.

But is he hoping to be a guest artiste?

“I think Jerry Yan would be a better choice since they
had collaborated before (Yan starred opposite Cheng in
Magic Kitchen). I will just stand by the side and
watch,” he quipped.

Regarding Zai's health situation, replied Ah Juan
gave:

Recently, whether is it photos or public event, most
found that
Zaizai was sometimes fatter and sometimes slimmer, his
body size was
different each time. And this, caused everyone to talk
about his
health. As everyone was worried, yesterday, a fan sms
ah juan to ask,
and here's her reply:

Earlier on when fliming, he really put in lots of
effort and he's
really tired. Now, he's doing some adjustments, really
thank everyone
for taking notice. Help me to ask everyone not to
worry, he would be
better, and please wait for Mars!

From ah juan's sms , we can conclude ,

1. Pressure on Zaiza because of Mars is alot, he was
really suffering
when he is fliming.

2. He really has a little health problem, but believe
that after his
rest and adjustments, he'll be okay very soon and get
better.

3. Mars is a piece which he put in lots of effort,
hope that everyone

F4 fly and walk walls

F4 still isn't earning enough and has to go overseas?

F4 and other Pepsi stars filmed a commercial that will
start to
broadcast in Taiwan starting on the 15th. On that day,
F4's broker
Zhi Xiang Li will also leave for "Shanghai Fu Long" to
find
advertisement, dramas, movies and other developments
overseas for F4.

Several months ago, F4, Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, Sammi
Cheng, Aaron Kwok
and Edison Chen went to Jordan to film a commercial.
In the middle of
this month the commercial will be shown in Taiwan
after being shown
in HK and China already. A week later, is will
broadcast the final
chapter with the other regions.

There's a lot of action in this commercial. Although
all actors are
powerful, but F4 takes the important responsibility of
hanging on
wires to save people by flying, flying and walking
walks, and block
an unexpected guest. Ken Zhu fears heights had to be
hanged 8 stories
high. Because of this he became very restrained and
suddenly didn't
say a word. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until
he touched the
ground again.

When filming, F4 was divided into 2 groups and 100
people were needed
to control the steel wires. Jerry Yan and Vanness Wu
only depended on
the steel wires to climb here and there like
Spiderman. They also
moved to and fro like a shuttle in midair. Vic Zhou
and Ken Zhou on
the other side clapped for them.

Vanness, who likes to hang on wires, thought that it
would be more
fun if there were more action in commercials that he
will film later.
Vic Zhou said that he was in charge of "flying and
walking the wall"
during the scene with all 9 stars. He was very nervous
at that
time, "There's a lot of pressure! If I NG and hang in
mid air, the 8
people waiting for me will surely murder me! I really
don't know if
the director things that my defense skills are the
best or joking
with me!"

F4 has work until the end of the year but will go to
China
successively to film commercials and endorse.

Vic Zhou just came back from Shanghai after filming an
ad. Beginning
in mid-july he will start to promote "Mars" for a
month. Then film a
movie overseas before school starts. Jerry will
release an album in
August and then film a foreign invested love action
movie. Ken is
filming "City in the Sky" in China. His album still
needs a one or
two more songs and will release after Jerry's. Vanness
is in the US
working on his 2nd album.

Jay snatches attention, F4's charm bursts

Pepsi is biased making Jay Chou and F4 fans quarrel. Two months ago, Pepsi's 9 stars went to Jordan to film an advertisement. After the commercial broadcasted in China and HK, F4's fans couldn't stand it and raved because in total, their idols didn't appear for even 4 sec. It's simply not proportioned. "It's really too unfair."

Pepsi spent a lot of money to have F4, Jay Chou, Sammi Cheng, Jolin Tsai, Aaron Kwok and Edison Chen worked together in a commercial. After the first chapter was shown in HK and China, fans of the 9 stars commented one after another. In the 1 minute commercial, Jay Chou appeared for 30 seconds. The other 8 stars only showed their
faces for not even 4 seconds. This commercial will soon broadcast in Taiwan on the 15th. F4 fans plan to gather and protest, requesting that Pepsi handle the situation justly, they should change to the newest version.

F4's broker Zhi Xiang Li said, "This commercial is cut into 2 parts. The first part was more on Jay Chou. In the 2nd part F4 will have brilliant performances. There are no bias problems. It's just how the story goes. We flew so far and the filming process was frightening and dangerous for only a few seconds. Actually the 9 stars are the same, the TV version is 1 minute and no more. The cinema broadcasts might be longer." Actually it's eloquent. F4 fans
might as well watch the broadcast and calculate the seconds and to know which one of the 9 stars has the highest exposure rate.

Behind the scenes, they hung in midair for almost an
hour - very
tough. Jerry nearly lost his balance and headed for
the wall but
luckily the 100 people pulling the strings managed to
save him in
time before he smashed his face.

ZZ and Ken managed to find a place to stand on the
cliffs. ZZ laughs
and says "Lots of pressure, if NG, we have to do

come after and murder me!" Ken says that he tried to
keep quiet
prevent holding back filming and the director said he
was very
professional.

F4 Battle Special Guest

Fans have been waiting a long time to see F4, Jay,
Sammi, Aaron,
Edison and Jolin's Pepsi Commercial. Part 1 will be
shown in Taiwan
on the 15th. In the commercial, the 9 stars walk the
clips, battle it
out for the Pepsi bottle.

The commercial has already been shown in China and HK,
leaving
Taiwan's fans in protest.

Due to the number of stars in the commercial, Pepsi
had to be careful
about screen time. In the first part, 9 star's time
were evenly
spread. In the 2nd part, it focuses on F4 with 1
special guest
fighting them. In the short commercial, F4 had to work
hard. Other
than hanging on the wires, they had to imitate
spiderman, testing out
their skills.

Scared of heights, Ken said he was very scared. After
filming, he was
awarded with applause. Jerry had to rescue a boy in
mid air and
nearly lost his balance, almost smashing into a wall.
ZZ's part was
very dangerous, he hung there for 30 minutes. He was
so scared,
saying: "Does the director think I'm good at martial
arts or is he
trying to kill me?"

Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) is actually กฐming cao you zhu.กฑ He has already dated Taiwan actress Xu Wei Lun for a month. ZZ returned to Taiwan a few days ago after filming a commercial in Shanghai. The next day he hurriedly went to pick up his girlfriend. Yesterday ZZ said they are only friends that would sometimes have dinner together. Xu Wei Lun on the other hand admitted that she has feelings for him but things should happen naturally.

In F4, Vic Zhou and Jerry Yan are the most popular members with the most fans. Recently ZZ has been discovered dating Taiwan actress Xu Wei Lun for more than a month. This news will break some ZZกฏs fansกฏ hearts.

Silently waiting for Wei Lun to leave Lee Wei
Earlier, ZZ had rumors with Xu Wei Lun because of "Love Storm". But because she and Taiwan actor Lee Wei were still a couple, the relationship couldn't go any further. However, after they broke up in January, ZZ, who has always been abiding by Xu Wei Lun's side, finally cleared the clouds to see the sky.

According to ZZ's friends, ZZ counted on a unremitting heart and finally started to date Xu Wei Lun a month ago. ZZ already had feelings for her ever since they worked together in "Love Storm". But at that time Xu Wei Lun and Lee Wei were still dating so the two could only be friends. ZZ's friends also pointed out that ZZ wasnก't downcast because she had a boyfriend and often went to visit her on the set. After Xu Wei Lun and Lee Wei broke up for 5 months, around last month, ZZ and Xu Wei Lun officially started dating.

Last Saturday, the 2nd day after ZZ returned from Shanghai, he drove his AudiRS6 car (there aren't even 10 of them in all of Taiwan) and parked on Zhong Xiao Dong Street patiently waiting for Xu Wei Lun.

Less than 10 of AudiRS6 in Taiwan
Xu Wei Lun got in his car along after saying goodbye to her friends. Soon after, reporters saw them drive away in the Mu Zha Shan region, which is where ZZ's residence is. Yesterday ZZ said through his broker about the dating issue, "We're good friends. We talk on the phone sometimes and have dinner."

And Xu Wei Lun also has a tacit understanding with ZZ and replied yesterday, "We happened to be free that day. He just came back to Taiwan so we had dinner together." Regarding the dating issue, she didn't deny it and said reserved, "He's a really good guy, have a lot of feelings towards him. Just let things happen naturally." She praised that ZZ is really responsible and generous and can make others happy. ZZ also publicly said that she was a kind-hearted girl. The two's feelings are self-evident.

Doesn't dare to open love life to the public
Although ZZ doesn't agree to open his love life to the public, but according to his friends, ZZ has actually been chasing Xu Wei Lun for a long time. When they are together they really want to open to the public but they can't say anything due to pressures by the company.

Mars on air 10 PM Saturday from end of July

Wednesday July 7, 2004 ETTODAY of Taiwan
Reported by Lin Jiahong

per Da Cheng Bao of Taiwan, July 8, 2004

The air time is 10 p.m. on Saturday starting end of July

http://61.129.47.141/asp/UploadFile/2004-7/20047835518211.jpg

picture: Zaizai practiced diligently to correct his Chinese pronounciation to act the role who hides his inside weakness behind bohemian bevaviors

The date of Idol drama Mars finally to be aired is finally determined. In order to act the role of "Walking Sex Organ" who hides his inside weakness behind bohemian behaviors, Zaizai practiced diligently to correct his Chinese pronunciation. He also got a lot of pimples on his handsome face from burning midnight oils for a prolonged period of time.

Because both Bada TV station and producer Chai Zhiping have high expectations of the drama, they also hope it will be aired in a unique time slot for an idol dram series, both have been ranking their brains and finally make the decision to air it in the time slot on Saturday night starting from the end of July. Of course once the decision is announced, no one but director Cai Yuexun is under the most pressure, who is right in the midst of working days and nights on post-production editing. Pressed by Mars's upcoming air, he has submerged himself even deeper into editing.

Mars is full of controversial topics. Like a Greek myth, both Zaizai and DaS, the leading actor and actress, act abnormally from being psychologically hurt in childhood. It also includes homosexual and incestuous plots. DaS indicates that she was tortured physically and mentally from Mars being shot from winter to hot summer. To make the drama consistent, she had to wear sweater and scarf shooting under the blazing sun. Mental tortures came from that in order o act the part of timid Qiluo well, she either had to act scared out of wits or cried and yelled hysterically. Xiyuan says, "At the end of the day, I often had sore throat and felt physically exhausted. But I still had to hurry to the set of "Yu Le Bai Fun Bai" to host the show!"

So did Zaizai suffer. In order to act the part of Walking Sex Organ who acts bohemian to hide his inside weakness, Zaizai practiced diligently to correct his Chinese pronunciation. Moreover, his acting skills have been highly praised by DaS and Chai Zhiping. Even DaS has said Zaizai really worked very hard. How effectively has Zaizai's acting power become? One scene in Mars where Zaizai and DaS had an argument, Zaizai shrugged and said to her, "Hug me a little, um?" at the end of their argument. All the female employees of the company, watching that scene of drama on disc, were instantly mesmerized by him . They all yelled, "We also want to hug him!" But in the latter period of shooting Mars, Zaizai's face grew quite a few pimples from being too tired and burning midnight oil for a prolonged period of time.
