‘ChunHan love’ – the two leads separate after the drama ends but netizens are unwilling to let them do so! A website poll asking the question ‘who is Wu Zun’s destined girlfriend?’ had the following results: Angela had 51.8% of the votes, winning Ella and Ariel. Gaining the approval of Wu Zun’s fans made Angela feel warm.

On the 23 Nov, Angela fell ill with the flu and lost her voice. The following day, she had to attend a publicity event. Although she was sick, she appeared sparkling, wearing a specially designed black dress with a revealing front.

Her sexy appearance was praised but before she went on stage, the designer had to adjust the dress as Angela had lost 2 kgs due to all the work she had put into her new album. The designer had only discovered the day before that the dress had become loose. Although she wore a huge belt, when Angela appeared on stage, she held on tightly to the front of her dress afraid that it would slip and reveal too much.

During the activity, Angela heard that netizens had voted her most suited to be Wu Zun’s girlfriend. Out of 20,000 votes, she had received the most votes. Ella and Ariel received 34.8% and 13.4% respectively. She was touched by the support of the netizen fans and said: ‘My fans and Wu Zun’s fans are all very lovable. They will not be influenced by gossip and thus attack each other’s idol. They get along very well with each other. During the filming of ‘Romantic Princess’, when Wu Zun’s fans came to visit him, they would also bring food for me to eat, making me feel very warm and welcome. BUT she strongly urged her fans not to think too much about the gossip but to focus on her new album ‘Ang 5.0’ which is about to be launched

Angela Zhang and Wu Chun rumors never stopped; admitted she is "slow" in love,

Friday November 16, 2007 Taiwan



Angela Zhang and Wu Chun rumors never stopped, both of them kissed in the series for better rating, in promotion playing games together really closely, feeding each other food, and going to other countries together, like a pair of couple in love. Angela is gonna have her new album in December , in the fourteenth she went to learn tap dance, and when she talked about about Chun she smiled a lot a lot and said "I really want to have Chun as my male lead in my new mv"

Love has a lot of pressure, a "slow" type

Angela talked about Chun without scared to have more rumors, and she talked about her view about love, she said "Every human need to date" and she also said she is a "slow" type of girl, need to take time to be with a person before she thinks of them as a lover. In this half of the year, Chun and her had be really close both on and off screen, that statement has leading people to people to their seat. [对号入座, which mean she is leading people think she is talking about Chun]

Going out with Chun or not? Angela didn't really answer the question. She said having a pubic relationship will be really tired and with big pressure. "even I am dating, I am sure I won't make it public" but when she was asked about Johnny Yan, she asked the reporter back "is Johnny still here?" meaning he is already out of the list of rumored boyfriend.

Working in the same MV, hard to decide time

Angela had talked about Chun a lot of times in front of media, having the doubt of making new over and over again, because of that, the Lin Fair Record Company Angela belongs to, saying not only Angela likes to talk about it, the media likes to ask about it too. The Company is treating their good friend relationship normally.

Will have Chun in the MV for Angela new album? The company also said " We talked to Chun's manager company already, they are very interested, but Chun's schedule is really full, so the time is not quite decided yet."

Wu Zun hopes to open gym in Singapore

Thursday November 15, 2007 Taiwan


(15.11.2007) Wu Zun hopes to open gym in Singapore

From Lian He Wan Bao

Super-popular Wu Zun has two gyms in Brunei, but denies that his family is wealthy, for the sake of Singapore fans, hopes to open a fitness gym in Orchard Road!

Fahrenheit anchor Wu Zun gained immense popularity because of idol drama Hana Kimi. Yesterday, e-entertainment reporter held a long-distance interview with him and found out that the well-built Wu Zun was very polite when speaking, when he heard sensitive topics, would reply very genially.

Amidst the chaotic hubbub in the background, see how this e-entertainment reporter engages in a quick Q&A with Wu Zun.

R - reporter
C - Chun

R: Heard that when you came to Singapore previously to model, you stayed in a condominium in Bukit Timah?
C: Yeah, I stayed there for more than a month! But I've forgotten the name of the condominium.
R: Considering that you've opened 2 gyms in Brunei within 3 years, do you have plans to open a fitness gym in Singapore? If yes, where would you hope to locate it?
C: (laughs) Yes, I've thought of opening a gym in Singapore, just that I haven't met any partners I can trust. As to where would be a suitable location, the Orchard Road area is not bad, but have to see how much the rent is.
(Chun expressed that if he opens a gym in Singapore, it would allow all his fans to have a good place to exercise. Speaking of this, he encouraged all to exercise for the sake of looking good, saying laughingly that he could consider publishing a Wu Zun fitness book, or a Wu Zun healthy set meal, but would have to wait for his company's arrangement.)
R: Outside sources say that your family is loaded, that you're a rich man's son. Just curious, does the money you earn in the entertainment world match the wealth of your family?
C: My family background is just ok, not as wealthy as what they say. I even have to take a loan from the bank to start my gym business, if I were really that wealthy, why would I want to owe the bank?!
(How much did you loan?) This is not convenient for me to say lah.
R: Recently there've been rich women "sponsoring" the hottest stars on the chart, you're named among them, how do you feel about this? (not very clear what is meant)
C: (laughs) I am very honoured! Just joking lah, I only think it's super funny! (Are there any rich ladies drooling over your charm and trying to approach you?) No leh, no one dares to date me.
R: Your good physique is universally known, I still have to ask a stale question, if Ang Lee approached you to film Lust, Caution, would you strip for the role?
C: Don't want bah, I don't have that kind of experience. I am not as experienced as Tony Leung! People's impression of famous stars filming Lust, Caution is different from that of watching newbies, it would feel really weird for a newbie to film that movie! Wait for five or six more years bah, perhaps by then I would be able to do it.
(Besides Lust, Caution, Wu Zun is willing to gain weight, lose weight, shave his head for movies, he says laughingly that he hopes to have some differences in his roles.)

No time to date, is not against dating those within the entertainment circle
R: Recently, Taiwan has been cooking up a storm over Chun-Angela romance, would you feel very bothered by it? Is the Chun-Angela romance real??
C: I do feel quite irritated, because we're actually playing happily, but because afraid of what the media would write, we're unable to play naturally, have to purposely reign in our actions, and it only makes things embarrassing.
(Did you and Angela feel the sparks? Are you dating?) No sparks lah, playing happily together doesn't mean that we are naturally boyfriend and girlfriend.
R: You're really not in a relationship currently?
C: No, work is too busy, can't even find the time to meet, do you know?Even though organisers want us to perform opening ceremonies, we are too busy to go, we don't even have the time to earn money!
R: Can you talk about the 3 leading ladies you've worked with - your impressions of Ariel, Ella and Angela?
C: Ariel is quieter, Angela is the morose kind, character is very direct, once you're familiar with her then you can play, Ella's character is the most forthright, even if you don't know her, she can also be very 'friend' with you; the common point is, they're all very professional!
R: Would you reject dating some pretty girl from within the entertainment circle? What criteria do you have for your partner?
C: I wouldn't choose a girlfriend based on whether she's in this circle or not, have to see the 'feel', if the other party lets me feel that there's a future when we're together, that's sufficient. (If she's older than you by 10 years?) That's very hard to say, perhaps she's young at heart, it's not impossible.
R: What kind of girls can't you stand?
C: Girls who are irresponsible, very affected, whose behaviour is very fake, these are the kind I can't tolerate the most.

Rumoured to be married with kids - Chun: How is that possible?
R: Perhaps because you're too famous, overseas media are suspicious of your sexual inclinations, they also say you're married, with kids, what do you say?
C: You tell me how do I prove to people that I'm not gay? Those who know me definitely know I'm not! As for being married with kids, haha! I've also read these reports, how is that possible? The media just like to write rubbish.
R: If you meet true love, would you give up your career for love?
C: If I meet it, and it makes me feel that it's very important to set up a family, I would probably give up my career, but now I have not met it yet.
R: Tell us about your plans in showbiz?
C: There's Ah Bi Jian, Wu Xia Liang Zhu, Basketball Fire.. (Do you think you're suitable to play Liang Shan Bo?) I don't want to say so early whether I'm suitable or not, I haven't even acted, how would I know? It's like none of my friends believed I would be an artiste, because I was too introverted and shy.
R: Boyz frenz is the band your Brunei manager He Xia Tian groomed. What do you think of their performance?
C: We've known each other previously, Boyz frenz are really hardworking... (But some reporters say that they will be competing with FRH?) What is there to compare? As long as you've put in effort, it's enough, there's no end to the competition in this circle, working hard and doing well is what is important.

The Prince and His Princess--Wu Zun and Angela

Tuesday November 6, 2007 Singapore

Source: Teenage, Nov issue
Note: this is a very long article, so i am just going to type out the later part of the article. The front part is just a summary of Romantic Princess, the drama.

Playing the Prince
Despite his gruelling schedule, the always-delish popster(note:Wu Zun) gamely introduces the plot he plays in Gong Zhu Xiao Mei.
"I play NanFeng Jing, one of four boys who are groomed by a millionaire looking for an heir to his empire. The millionaire finds that my character has the most potential, and therefore wants him to marry his long-lost granddaughter, played by Angela Zhang. Naturally, my character isn't happy with the arrangement and tries to be mean to the girl. A lot of things happen, but you'll have to find out for urself though!" Wu Zun jokes.

The story sounds good so far but one cannot help but suspect that the serial may run in the same vein as his previous works-most notably Hana Kimi which catapulted him to fame-considering how Taiwanese teen dramas have earned a reputation for its formulaic and fantastical storylines.

Wu Zun's answer allays that fear. The dishy hunk reveals," This series is going to show a diff side to me. What I',m doing now in Romantic Princess is actually rather diff from my previous roles in my opinion. It's the first time I'm playing a wealthy character who's quite the gentleman. Not only did I have to change into stuffy suits to play the part, there was also a need to emulate the sort of mindset, behaviour and mannerism of the rich."

This must have been overly difficult for the Brunei-born star, whose family has been reported to be one of the richest in the country. With a background this illustrious, surely it must have been a piece of cake for our fav Fahrenheit hottie to potray Nan Fen Jing?

"Oh no, it wasn't easy at all! The director kept teasing me abt my hunchback posture because no royalty would walk with a hunch, right? I had to remind myself constantly to stand up straight and walk tall. How tiring!"

For all that he's had to put himself through for the role, the industrious star almost passed over the role as he wasn't sure if he was suitable for it.

"Honestly, when i first read the comic, i didnt think it was going to be a very exciting role because there were only four parts to the comic book. But i changed my mind after the director explained his direction and vision. I bought it immediately! I found it really challenging playing a character who is so much more temperamental than i actually am. The scenes that allowed me to 'wear a mask' gave me a lot of room to play around," confesses Wu Zun.

Of Rumours and Gossips
So was it just as challenging working with main lead, Angela Zhang> After all, when filming began, rumours were circulating that the two didnt exactly get along. We posed the question to the bubbly actor, who admitted,"Well, its true that i was initially very nervous and worried abt working with Angela because i was afraid that we wouldnt get along since ive seen her once before, and that was from a distance! But then i realised shes probably the type who needs to warm up to strangers. in fact, after two weeks, we really hit it off!"

And what caused the change?
"i think probably because we both took the initiative to get to know each other better. it was really interesting. shes someone i can say anything to. We tease each other mercilessly on set! She likes to complain abt my poor diction and muscular body. Me? I'll retort by asking her why shes so skinny and 'dont u ever eat?'! ", bursting into laughter as he speaks.

With such blatant...(blah blah blah, all old news that are already posted up)

Worth the wait
And abt the much anticipated Fahrenheit album?
"I know everyone is waiting for our next album. zthe good news is we're already starting to go into studios to record the songs. I've listened to some of the materials that we already have and i'm really excited! the songs in this album are pretty different from those we've done previously. i feel it has more creative elements, as well as better harmonizing. We've been back in the studios this couple of days just to get the harmony right! i think our fans will also like the new grooves and rhythms in the next album, which i'm hoping will be out by January." wu zun quips.

(the interview with wu zun)
Q:What do you admire most about Angela?
A:She's really easy going and frank about what she feels, so it's nice to be around her. Oh, and she's very brave too. I always think to myself, this is such a small girl, but she's got so much fire and drive in her.

Q:Who's a better actress? Ella or Angela?
A: Ella is very expressive. In Hana Kimi she had to act like a boy, so she was very exaggerating, but she did that really well. On the other hand, Angela has a very diff style. If you watch her on screen, you'll notice that she's very subtle in her acting. She's more natural.

Q:How romantic can you get?
A:Oh dear. i never really was a romantic guy! (Laughs) When i was sixteen, i brought a girl to the beach and i held her hands. That's about it!

Q: What hot tips would you give a guy attending the prom for the first time?(note: the nov issue of the magazine was about prom night)
A: Bring your camera and handphone. Dress sharp. That's a suit and simple shirt for me. Nothing complicated. If you have a date who wants to dance, make sure you learn how to dance before hand. And of course, dont forget to bring your autograph book so that you can get the numbers of all your friends to stay in touch with them! That's most important!

(interview with Angela Zhang)
Q: How do you feel abt your role in RP? How is it diff from your previous works?
A: I was a bit nervous and apprehensive as it;s my first time acting in a romantic comedy. I was also worried about whether my fans would like it. but since the pilot episode, the series has been rated #1 on the telly! i guess it goes to show that the audience loves it! and i'm just really glad for that.

my character, xiao mai, is quite unpredictable-one moment she's happy and laughing, the next moment she is sullen and cryin. her emotions are dramatic and her actions are somewhat exaggerated. i'm not liek that in real life. i'm more subdues. the similarity between xiao mai and myself is that both of us have dreams and we are determined to fulfill them. xiao mai is different from other role that i've playing, for example Ai Sa 17, where the character, Ai Sa, was darker.

Q: What was the most memorable scene during filming?
A: There was this bathroom scene, where my character xiao mai was being attended to by her maid. What was really wonderful was the huge bath tub! There were loads of luxurious bathing oils and moisturisers and two rows of the softest and prettiest nighties! i felt so pampered. it's something that i dont even experience in real life!

Q: What's it like playing lovers with Wu Zun? did you do anything special to get to know each other better?
A: This is my first time acting with Wu Zun, so it took awhile for me to ge to know him better. initially, when we started filming fot eh series, i was thinking to myself, why is this guy always looking at his pda, taking notes, and not talking much? but in time, i realised that he's actually quite a cheerful person, so easy to get along with! i also discovered that we have some things in common, such as similar gaming interests, and the fact that we both love to eat! although, wu zun eats a lot more than me!

Q: Wthat do you most admire about wuzun?
A: i feel that wu zun is a very serious person who is focused on what he does. he runs his own gym! i dont even have time to exercise myself but he can actually find the time to run the gym, exercise and do everything else simultaneously!

Q: This issue abt Teenage is all about the prom. what's the most memorable prom experience for you?
A: i actually hand-made a pink formal dress for myself! when i wore it to the prom, i received heaps of praises. i was over the moon! one of my most memorable proms was also my graduation night in canada. it was poignant for me as i had to part with some of my closest friends. throughout the whole night, we danced and danced to romantic music... it was unforgettable!

Q: Describe your perfect prom date...
A: there would be soft music playing in the background. Girls and guys will be decked out in their favourite outfits, dancing the night away. Then, after it is all over, we can look back and recall all the wonderful memories and have a good laugh. it'll be just perfect!

Angela's tip for a perfect prom...
1)Take the time to do a bit of research, flip through magazines, to get an idea of what you want to wear on prom night. Shop around to get just the right style!
2)Get your shoes before the eve of prom. You want shoes that match!
3)Avoid wearing heels that are too high. it'll save you from having aching calves after a long night of dancing.
4) Dont drink too much liquids the night before the prom, so you wont get a puffy face the day after. To get smooth, glowing skin, pamper your face the night before with a facial mask.
5)Wear your fav perfume. It's all about charming your date! When you slow dance, both of you can revel in the glorious scent of your perfume.

Wu Chun clarifies the rumours about him and Angela; Actually prefers Ariel

Wu Chun clarifies the rumours about him and Angela Zhang; Actually prefers Ariel Lin

Due to the recent filming of Romantic Princess, Wu Chun and Angela have been pretending to be very much in love to promote the drama and this has caused much furore amongst the fans of both celebs. However, according to a member of the crew, the one that Chun really likes is Ariel. Even when they are not filming together, he has invited her out to each twice. The crew member also believes that once RP ends, the rumours about Chun and Angela will die down too.

The rumours about Chun and Angela have caused much debate between the fans in the CTV and GTV websites. Wu Chun's fans feel that she is using him to create 'news', but Angela's fans rebuke them saying that there is no need for her to create news because she is already very popular.

Bond formed through filming

However, a crew member has revealed that the one that Wu Chun admires is Ariel. After they collaborated on Tokyo Juliet, he has asked her out for a meal twice. Wu Chun is always complimenting Ariel and Ella, both of whom have acted opposite him before. He compliments them because they are considerate - they never forget to look after the crew members, especially Ariel. She is also filial, obedient, considerate, generous and does not act high and mighty like some female celebs, and this is Wu Chun's 'dish' (means suits his tastes). He frequently uses the excuse that he needs to ask her about some acting techniques to 'date'’ her. In Wu Chun's young acting career, when it is sinking to a new low (?), she is not only his teacher, but his good friend as well.

Ariel's manager revealed that Chun and Ariel have indeed eaten together twice before, but that was together with the cast of Tokyo Juliet as well. The two of them will communicate via msn and sms, but lately, they have not been communicating very often. To Ariel, Chun is considerate, and is a big boy who loves to eat. However, Ariel's manager said that it is impossible between the two of them because Ariel does not want people to think that she is trying to 'create news'. Chun's management company have also expressed that Chun and Ariel, Angela are all just friends.
