chun is really popular, great directors like stephen/steven chow asked him to star in their movies. recently chun went to beijing for liu wei qiangs martial arts show , to have martial arts training. and at the same time, jiro told his friend privately, " i want to be in those martial arts show too, even if it requires me to be sunwukong." what sounds like jiro's jealous confession, th relationship between all th frh members is put to th test again.

a few days ago, when jiro was recording fr th new album, he was asked if he was feeling imbalanced because chun had a part in then he answered awkardly, "sigh, as an actor, i want to take part in everything, every role possible! if you want to speak about being imbalanced, actually i want to be superman too! only being able to a normal human being, i feel really imbalanced!"

jiro said before tht it is a fact tht he wants to act in a martialarts show, "but, it's not only me who wants to act. aaron wants to act, calvin wants to act too! maybe many other actors want to act too!" lastly, he said, "dont link to chun anymore la, it's very stupid &lame, it's not his fault or anything tht i have this kind of thinking."

summary by Jerry's Kingdom

Yesterday, Golden Bell Awards had released its nominations for this year, but Taiwanese idols including Da S, Xiao Zhu, Zai Zai, Wu Zun, Ella, Joe Cheng and many more all marched down. Jerry Yan vied his "The Hospital" to hit the Golden Bell Movie King, came up threatening but nevertheless lost. That drama which mainly took his appeal came up with 8 nominations, with copyright earnings from many countries already reached NT$100 millions, but actually stumbled down in his own homebase. Yesterday, Director Cai regretted, " It's really too bad for Jerry. His performance was gradually entering the borders of excellence, but maybe because the role was very limited."

Idol Defeat

This year's Golden Bell TV awards are dim with idol starlights. Yesterday, as the Public Information Agency announced the list of nominations, viewers were all disappointed with the turnout on their TV idol drama stars. Apart from Jerry starring in "The Hospital," there were no other nominees that were favorable to the viewers. Wu Zun's had two entries "Tokyo Juliet" and "Hana Kimi" also returned with no merit. Zaizai in "Silence" was highly praised but it has not been nominated. Da S and Xiao Zhu went all the way to Shanghai to film "Corner With Love" but it only sold to viewer's approval. In addition, Ming Dao's "Magicians of Love" also came down hopeless, while female sensations Ella and Ariel Lin were equally given no chances to win any awards.

Power rises overseas, stumbles in hometown

Jerry used his super strong charisma to turn "The Hospital" into a top card. That drama even ascended to become the first Taiwanese TV drama to be aired over NHK Japan. Although it is aired over a satellite TV channel, yet it's total copyright earnings plus the DVD, TV book, Original Soundtrack and other related goods already broke the hundred million excellent mark, repeatedly written down for a beautiful Taiwanese TV record. Moreover, on the list of artists who entered the nominations, that drama immediately produced Leon Dai, Wu Meng Da, Zhang Guo Zhu, Yang Lin Hua and Saya to get nominations, with only him loosing in the list. Many fans felt unfair for him and thought that his rising power abroad is a glory for Taiwan, yet he is tragically being pushed down in his hometown. Jerry attends class in Japan, and his agent Matt Cheng expressed, " He is not really that keen for the award nomination, having not nominated is better, then of course it will also be a lot of room for improvement. "

The Awards Night will be held on November 17, 7 pm at the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall which will be televised by Azio TV.

The Inside Scoop on the Angela and Wu Zun Rumors: Use Clothes To Express Their Feelings?
Date: October 11, 2007

It was Wu Zun's birthday yesterday. Angela Chang ShaoHan, who was busy with promotional activities in Hong Kong, was unable to attend his birthday bash, but she sent along a T-shirt with a gold dragon and the words "Hong Kong" (in English) emblazoned on it, as well as some Wan Jin You-- completely taking the "cheap, yet practical" route. The assistant who accompanied Angela as she chose the gifts revealed that the main reason Angela bought the T-shirt for Wu Zun was actually because she found it funny! Plus, because Angela's been so busy these days, she had to use her flight layover time to pick out Wu Zun's gifts at the airport in Hong Kong!

However, the first line of the birthday card Angela sent to Wu Zun read, "It all began in Hong Kong... " which definitely seems like food for thought. Additionally, the T-shirt she bought for Wu Zun was actually a Size S. Although she protested that she made an innocent mistake, Wu Zun's body is infamously sturdy and muscular-- thinking of him squeezing into that tiny Size S T-shirt is just too exaggerated and forced! There is likely a deeper, hidden meaning behind the little T-shirt-- a secret known only to the two of them!

Reporters have directly expressed their suspicions about this couple before-- one time, in an off-screen setting, Angela and Wu Zun began to bicker and jostle each other, creating quite a commotion, despite the presence of everyone else. Wu Zun even took Angela's Size XXS Ed Hardy jacket from her and put it on. He wasn't even afraid that she would be angry! In fact, he began to make bodybuilding poses! In the end, the expensive designer jacket, worth several thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, was hopelessly stretched out and deformed. When she finally got the jacket back, Angela pouted and pointed to the stretched-out sleeves, "Look! It's loose here now!" Although her words were supposedly words of protest, her lips (and tone of voice) still seemed very sweet!
* Translator's Note: The word used in the last sentence can mean either "lips" or "tone of voice." In my opinion, the original author of this article probably MEANT it to be ambiguous and carry a sort of double entendre.

Although Wu Zun denied the "Wu Han Lian (Angelun/Wu Zun and Angela Love Rumors)" yesterday, saying, "Reporters seem to want to make a couple out of every new drama that I film! However, the truth is that I'm so busy with work that it would be difficult for me to have a relationship," he nevertheless gave an intriguing answer to the question of whether or not he and Angela had ever traveled to Hong Kong together to prompt the first line of her birthday card ("It all began in Hong Kong... "). Laughing, he said enigmatically, "If we were to go somewhere together, it would probably be England, (which is very far from Taiwan and where there are very few fans)!
* Translator's Note: It is unclear from the context of the article whether he actually said the part I placed in parentheses... or whether the reporter added that part for our benefit!

Wu Zun has also admitted in the past to being willing to pay for a tattoo for Angela, proving that their relationship is pretty deep. Yesterday he revealed that he has actually introduced a tattoo artist to Angela before: "It's because, while we were filming, she was always drawing on herself and on us, so I said, if you have any sort of courage, you should just get a tattoo! I'll even pay for it. Actually, if possible, I would like to be present when she gets the tattoo... to see whether or not she actually has the guts to go through with it!"


These did NOT come with the article, but here is a picture of Wu Zun holding up the T-shirt...

and one of Wu Zun wearing poor Angela's sweatshirt...

* Translator's Note: 萬金油 Wan Jin You is a type of Chinese medicinal balm.

You rub it over your tummy if it aches or your forehead if you have a headache or a migraine... it really works wonders. It is also available in oil "form," although that's called Bao Xin An You.

Angela spokesperson for 9, earns NT 6,900,000

10.10.2007 Chinese Daily

Angela has the trust of advertisers, currently fronting the ads for five types of products in Taiwan, including drinks, cameras, jeans, contact lenses and watches. In China, she is spokesperson for soft drinks, sanitary napkins, ice cream and fashion apparel, earning NT 6,900,000 a year in total from both places, making her a young Little Rich Miss.

Angela is spokesperson for Bobson jeans for the second year running, earning a fee of NT 350,000. The company specially invited acclaimed director Wayne Peng to shoot the commercials.

Angela has to fly to Hong Kong today to shoot another new advertisement, and so is unable to attend rumoured boyfriend Wu Chun’s birthday celebrations. However, she has requested her fellow RP actors to send him three presents on her behalf: the first is Tiger Balm, the second is a T-shirt with a dragon graphic (I sincerely hope she really means dragon and not DINOSAUR), as for the third, she said: "It’s a secret!", wanting to give him a big surprise during his birthday bash today.

Chun's birthday news!!!

10.10.2007 Liberty Times

Rumours of the Chun-Angela romance continue to burn in light of Wu Chun’s birthday today. As someone who hasn’t celebrated her own birthday for many years and doesn’t celebrate others’ birthdays, Angela actually took pains over Chun’s presents. However, as Chun’s dream birthday present is a Ferrari sports car which costs tens of millions, he said that he dared not hope that someone would buy it for him, saying he would wait until he had earned enough before buying it himself.

Little sister busy making money, thoughtfully prepares presents

Although promotions for RP have stopped and Chun and Angela’s relationship has tapered given their own busy schedules and lack of contact, and despite Angela having to fly to Hong Kong to shoot commercials for Bobson jeans for the second year running which would earn her NT 500,000 and make her miss rumoured boyfriend Chun’s birthday, she has specially prepared three presents, including a T-shirt, Tiger Balm and a mystery birthday surprise for the birthday boy.

During his birthday last year, Chun was tricked and teased by his fellow FRH bandmates; this year, Jiro, Calvin and Arron would also turn up in full force, having prepared a special surprise for him. The three of them reportedly thought long and hard yesterday and could only guess that Chun’s dream present would be a return ticket to Brunei.

Driving his dream car, exhausted to the point of wanting to throw up

Turns out that all three were wrong as Chun’s dream present was a Ferrari sports car, something most people could ill-afford. Chun joked yesterday that during the filming of RP, the film crew rented a Ferrari sports car at a fee of NT 10,000 per day for his driving pleasure. They originally thought that Chun would be able to enjoy the excitement of speed, however, Chun said "There was no feeling of speed, there was only the feeling of wanting to throw up."

As filming wrapped up very late the night before and he had to get up early that morning, the sleep-deprived Chun was feeling very groggy and nauseous as he sat in the car. However, he had to control himself: "Such an expensive car, if I threw up inside, how could I ever compensate for it?!" In the end he could only exert maximum self-control, deriving only a hollow satisfaction from having driven a Ferrari.

Ferrari Polo tee had no place on screen

Being unable to buy a Ferrari, Chun had previously purchased a Ferrari Polo tee from Australia. He had originally wanted to wear it on set for the film, only to hear the director berate: "You’re a wealthy upper-class lad! Take that off!" Chun could only change back to his formal suits obediently. The day before his birthday, Chun still said happily: "Once I have saved enough, I will buy a Ferrari for myself!"

Translated by Cmiley

Yesterday Wu Chun grew a tail, rumoured girl Angela gave him a T-shirt bought from Hong Kong, Tiger Balm and on top found time to write a birthday card while she was at the airport on a small table, which actually shows the deep friendship, how is Wu Chun going to repay this "affection"? He immediately answered: "give her a diamond! fake diamond!" He realized later it wasn't thoughtful enough and changed: "Her birthday isn't even here yet, how would I know!"

Suspicions all started in Hong Kong

"ChunAngLove" is hot, Angela is in HK working, it's Wu Chun's bday, she even purposely had someone send over birthday gift T-shirt, tiger balm, card, and on the card it wrote: "It all started in Hong Kong...." Ambiguous words is hard not to raise suspicions, someone asked has the two actually snuck to Hong Kong to meet? Wu Chun heard it and laughed hard: "How's that possible? I'm really busy, going to HK is usually in a whole group traveling."

But, Angela spent some time to pick the presents for Wu Chun, and actually had some faults busily choosing, chose a small exploading muscle T-shirt, Wu Chun was laughing saying: "OK la, I'm quite thin." As for the tiger balm, Anglea thinks Wu Chun is in all 3 areas of entertainment:Singing/Movies/TV, will for sure work really hard and use energy, giving him tiger balm will be the best, on the card, Angela mischiefly said:"Don't forget Jan 19th, waiting for you!" and even added an additional: Not allow Wu Chun to copy her buying gifts at the airport.

Fahrenheit gives massagers

At Wu Chun's birthday party he received many many wishes, except Angela, Fahrenheit members gave him an electric massager, Calvin Chen couldn't attend last minute since he suddenly fell ill from gastroenteritis, Jiro and Aaron personally giving the massager to the birthday boy, so he can use it regularly at home DIY! There were world wide fans of 200 people, the amount of presents were able to fill 5 big boxes, Wu Chun also did an auction of private items, the 20 or so thousands earned will be donated to the charity group Eden Funds.

Angela's thoughtful gifts Red T-Shirt for Wu Chun is actually a size Small

Aaron read out the content of Angela's card, Wu Chun listened seriously, Jiro makes an exagerated expression.

Chun Wants A Ferrari For His Birthday

Wednesday October 10, 2007 Taiwan

Today is Chun's 28th birthday. Good friend Angela Zhang said she wouldn't spend time with him, but spent time on him, giving him a t-shirt and 萬金油(?).
(Translator Notes: What's that? Perfume? O__o)
Their relationship is obviously very good. This year, Fahrenheit members Jiro Wang, Calvin chen, and Arron Yan got together and prepared a "surprise" for him. But, Chun's dream birthday present is a Ferrari. Luckily, he is determined to wait until he has enough money and doesn't want somebody to give it to him.

Chun happily expressed, "Before when filming for 'Romantic Princess', the crew spent 100,000TWD and rented a Ferrari for me. But the night before, we were rushing to film very late. When I got into the car the next morning, I suddenly felt like barfing due to lack of sleep. But I held it in, thinking how would I pay for it if I threw up in such an expensive car. In the end, I didn't experience the feeling of speeding, just wanted to throw up."

Color interview: Calvin asked Chun questions!

4/10/2007

Q1: Being alone in Taiwan, are you lonely? (p.s: if you are lonely, please tell me loudly!)

Ans: Because previously, i also studied in Australia alone, so, i have already trained myself to be very independent lar. also, after some experiences, i(my character) also became stronger, so i won't feel especially lonely lah! If i am, you will be the first person that i would tell to! (laughs)

Q2: Between Fahrenheit and your business in Brunei, which one will you choose?

Ans: I think what is important for me, and what i will consider the factors surrounding it. It should be because my family is there ba! if one day, i have Taiwanese girlfriend, and if there is a possibility of discussing about marriage, i will first communicate with her, and see where we wanna focus our career on, only then will we decide on where we should be based ba!

Q3: If one day, you fall in love with a Taiwanese female, will you be willing to stay in Taiwan for her sake?

Ans: If my wife insists on staying in Taiwan, i will definitely take Taiwan as my home la! Maybe i can open up an exotic restaurant, and then stay in there leisurely everyday! That is my future dream wor! (laughs)

Q4: As for your criteria in your other half, you always say as long as you get along with her, it's alright already. Can you specifically state what are your criteria?

Ans: Okay! No problem! I think i don't really like girls who are too pretty. Not because i have no sense of security but because i feel that those girls will be too conscious of their image. I like girls who always go with the flow(Is this the meaning of sui xing?), and are very comfortable with themselves. This way, when we are together, it will be more relaxing, and more comfortable!

Q5: Can i ask in your next drama, who will you like to work with?

Ans: To tell you the truth, in my heart, there are no restrictions! Because i feel that everyone has their good points that we can learn from! Bu then, i kind of admire Zhang Zi Yi lah. I feel that for her to have this sort of position, she must have put in a lot of effort!

Wu Zun in Wires, Does Not Say Where it Hurts

Thursday October 4, 2007 Taiwan

WuZun's first ancient role, causes him sreaming pain from wires.


Wu Zun has accepted a video game ad, for the first time he'll be in ancient costume and using wires, not only did his arms and thighs got bruises, he also kept saying it hurts, the media jokingly asked him, "it's 'that' area that hurts?" the crew staff quickly jumped in to help out, while laughing and screaming: "Ha, this question is really 色, very scary!"

Yesterday Wu Zun was in wires the whole afternoon, he said it was very scary, it's because the other side was the cliff. The other problem was he was wearing ancient costumes and it was too hot, he was non stop sweating, the crew kept helping him wipe and redo his make up, originally there was 2 layers costume, at the end only 1 was worn, the collar just used an add on piece to the outer layer.

This is the first time Wu Zun is in ancient costume, he thought it was really fresh and fun, totally not against it, the management company and the sponsor company discussed and designed the image, after he tried it, he still looked really hansome and everyone agreed. After this experience, his managment company is even more confident for him to enter the movie screen for filming with director Ma's new ancient film "武俠梁祝 Kungfu Butterfly Lovers".

But yesterday the management company expressed, whether or not to accept the film "Kungfu", both parties schedules are still in discussion since they're short about 15 days. Since this is the Wu Zun first film, the management company are very serious, manager Chen Hui Ying said: "We're worried if there is not enough time, the results are not good enough, currently were still in the process of working hard."
