Wow, nice to see that this thread is still very much active! I used to lurk here a lot, hehe. I may have moved to other fandoms but Zaizai (and F4) is still my first love. <3

Hallo hallo to everyone! ^_^

Hallo Zaiwan!


daan lang po...

When is the Golden Bell awards?

Zai Zai and Xiu Jie Kai deep relationship from being roommates; teased as being "Niang Niang Jia DXiu Jie Kai held an autographing session for his book <Border - Angkor Wat> that was written two years ago. His roommate, Zai Zai, showed up to support, but was teased as "Niang Niang Jia Dao". (娘娘駕到 – New variety show with two male hosts known as being feminine) Their relationship blossomed when Zai Zai slapped Xiu Jie Kai's butt during the filming of <Mars>. Xiu Jie Kai revealed that it gave him a fright at the time, but Zai Zai made fun and gave an OS to Jie Kai's inner heart: "Is this some kind of hint? Showbiz sure is a dark place."

Xiu Jie Kai's travelling book has been on sale since two years ago, and has sold around eight thousand copies, yet he finally held an autographing session yesterday. Even Zai Zai commented, "That's incredible." Xiu Jie Kai plans to travel to Thailand for his next book. Zai Zai happens to be going to Thailand to film a commercial next week, thus he asked Xiu Jie Kai if he would like come along and photograph him, "so when you go next time, you can tell others that Zai Zai has been here before."

Why does Zai Zai support Xiu Jie Kai so much? Other than because he is a home boy who usually relies on Xiu Jie Kai to cook and manage everything, "He takes showbiz the same way that I do, where he's not anxious to rise to fame, nor would he use our relation to stir up news." Their rules as being roommates are that they must not talk about work or enforce subjective views. They can laugh and watch <Quan Min Zui Da Dang> (全民最大&#40680 together, and also quietly sit side by side without needing to find something to chat about to dissolve any awkwardness. Who else do you have this kind of relationship with in showbiz? Zai Zai answered, "Ken Zhu and Van Ness. They would come out with just a phone call."

Although Zai Zai was passionate in showing his support, Xiu Jie Kai remained sincere. When asked who he thinks will most likely take the Golden Bell Award for best actor, the two of them answered together, "Zhang Shi!" Regarding the rumors surrounding Janine Zhang and Mark Zhao, there were also rumors that Xiu Jie Kai and Mark Zhao's friendship turned sour because Jie Kai also wanted to pursue Janine. Jie Kai expressed, "Yeah right!" without hesitation. Zai Zai on the other hand, showed a blank stare.

sytwo :
I really enjoyed the above video in particular where Jimmy Hung talked about the different actors' martial art ability. In summary, he was saying that some of the actors (like Mark and Xiu) were quite stiff at the initial training, except for ZZ. And that ZZ is very agile and quick and learns very fast. And Jimmy said it is a pity that ZZ don't have many action scenes, and later he requested from Dir Cai for more action scenes in the last fight for ZZ.
* I have always thot ZZ is super great at action and super agile. Now I long for more action movies for ZZ!

Vic Zhou comes to Jerry Yan's defense; tacit understanding with Da S kept in heart

Translation: Sarah @ http://asianfanatics.net

Yesterday afternoon, Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) attended a ‘Spread Love To Si Chuan’ charity event in Hong Kong. Someone mentioned that out of F4, only he can be nominated for the Golden Bell Awards, but he stuck up for Jerry Yan. When asked whether ex-girlfriend Barbie Hsu (Da S) has congratulated him yet, Zai Zai said it’s fine to keep these things in one’s heart.

Zai Zai has been nominated for ‘Best Actor’ for Taiwanese drama ‘Black & White’ in the Golden Bell Awards, but he is optimistic for his senior Zhang Shi instead. He feels that he has already achieved his goal by being nominated: “To me, this is already a very good confirmation, I hope my work in the future will be successful.” When asked whether his ex-girlfriend Da S has congratulated him yet, Zai Zai replied: “I don’t like congratulations and praises, it’s fine to keep these things in one’s heart, saying it out feels very fake.”

Although Jerry Yan is also filming dramas, but someone at the event said that amongst the Taiwanese F4 members, only Zai Zai can be nominated. But he said: “I want to speak in Jerry’s defense, I’ve participated in the most dramas. I really treasure the time us 4 spend together, without them, there wouldn't be me today.”

hello again to the rest

Vic Chou vows he will be open about his relationships, Friday September 4, 2009 Taiwan
The discovery of Andy Lau's secret marriage to Carol Chu in Las Vegas unveiled a can of worms affecting celebrities in the various entertainment industries. At a promotional event held on Wednesday, Taiwanese actor-singer Vic Chou expressed that his fans are urging him to have a girlfriend. "My fans all call me as their son and they are all my mothers. They feel that I am particularly attractive and mesmerizing when I am in love, and very dull and introverted when I have no girlfriend."

The media recently uncovered that a Las Vegas marriage was registered under the Chinese name, Hsu Hsin-Wen, which raise suspicions that it might be Taiwanese actress, Barbie Hsu, Vic's former girlfriend. Vic laughed at the mix-up after he was told that groom's name was 'Richard'. "I am called 'Zai Zai'; that person is not related to me!"

At the event, Vic also elucidated on the importance of being punctual. Having been to Japan several times for work, the actor expressed his admiration for their 'be early before you can be late' concept of time. He continues to live by that mantra and not only adjusted his watch to run five minutes earlier, but also consistently reminds workers to reach the worksite earlier than the stipulated timing.

He admitted that his girlfriend has no excuse to be late even if they are going on a date. "I am a stickler when it comes to this. If the other party is late, I will get very angry."

Vic Zhou: It is most romantic to be with Barbie, Monday August 31, 2009 Taiwan
Despite their split almost a year ago, Taiwanese singer-actor Vic Zhou recalled that his most romantic time was spent with ex-girlfriend and fellow Taiwanese artiste, Barbie Hsu. He shared that his relationship with her made him even more mature, "Whenever I meet with problems, I will try to mediate and smooth things out. After I got together with Barbie, I feel that I have grown a lot inside, I can cope a lot better, and I started to learn from her logical train of thought. I saw a lot of wonderful things through her."

The couple's relationship began when Vic landed in a traffic accident after the shooting of Taiwanese drama, Mars. Barbie, his Mars co-star, was said to be the first person who rushed down to the accident site to see him. In a recent press event, Vic was asked of his most romantic memory. The actor replied without any hesitations and honestly remarked, "The accident site".

Vic had once expressed his desire to get married after reaching 25 years old. "I realise that marriage is really not an easy thing. I didn't use to think so far, I always thought marriage was just marriage. As long as you have the will and the urge, it can be done," said the man, who's now 28. "I fully acknowledge that men must have a career first before they can plan for a family. I am still developing my career, and I really need to work hard at it to allow my career to reach another level. Only then can I become the head of the household.".

Apart from marriage plans, Vic also shared his ideal girl-type. "The girl's character should not be too strong-headed or too submissive. She cannot be too talkative or too quiet. I am quite quick to change, I will feel that being too talkative is not good and being too quiet is also not good. The person just has to compliment me well. At the rate things are going, I think I might have to find a robot!"

Vic Chou: Best look for a robot for a girlfriend, doesn't like someone who talks too much or too little, Wednesday August 25, 2009 China
Businesses using Qixi (Chinese Valentine’s Day) for promotional activities is not unusual. If the spokesperson also happens to be single and doesn’t have a date, it would be a pity if they couldn’t even attend a major event to make their contribution. Yesterday (Aug. 26) Chou Yu-min (Vic Chou) and Lin Yi-chen (Ariel Lin) appeared at the “Ten Thousand People Embracing to Create a New Guinness Record” event.

Qixi is a sweet day for couples. Speaking about their choice of partners, Ariel turned her head and looking at Vic said: “I’m very contradictory. I hope my counterpart would sometimes be simple and cute, and sometimes be mature in handling things.”

On hearing this, Zai Zai looked satisfied/proud [in the video clip, Zai Zai actually looked at Ariel and said: “Are you talking about me?” heheheh.. before talking about what he looks for in a girl] , took over the microphone and answered: “I think women should not be too submissive, a more independent character is good, but of course, not too stubborn. I’m quite fickle (?蠻善變的?). I think that [someone who] talks too much is not good, but [someone who] doesn’t talk at all is not good either. In short, someone who could match my rhythm would be the best. Speaking of which, I think I could only look for a robot.”

To return the compliment that Ariel voiced earlier, Vic didn’t forget to express his appreciation for Ariel. “I have seen at work and like how Lin Yi-chen acts and behaves. She can concentrate on doing her own thing – reading a book or studying/thinking about her performance, and I really admire this.”

As to the most romantic scene or place, Zai Zai replied: “Actually, every place can be a special place. What’s important is whether you are with the right person. For me, that place was extra special, it was the scene of a car accident.” This can’t help but remind one of the time Zai Zai had a car accident. Da S immediately rushed to the scene to comfort him. But there was still a “clueless” (unprofessional) reporter who asked: “Why?” Vic laughed even more and said: “I think most people here know why.”

For the ten thousand people embrace activity, one has to hug the person near you. As there were only Vic and Ariel on stage, it was natural for them to hug each other.
“At work, my deepest impression of a hug was that with Lin Yi-chen. [Ariel looked quite shy in the video when Vic said this.] You can look for my first album. One of the songs in it has an MV, the ‘body’ that I hugged for a long time was hers!” Everyone on site couldn’t help but think that this kind of talk was too “explicit” (revealing?). Zai Zai wasn’t concerned though and said: “I’ve never been inhibited in doing things. And I won’t act like an idol when talking to you to create that distance. I like interactions, to joke with other people, hope that you can feel that I’m a real person [living being].”

Zaizai self shut-off during break-time (do nothing); Shares the concept of seeking happiness
Saturday August 29, 2009 Taiwan

http://www.libertytimes.com.tw/2009...today-show8.htm
Translated by sytwo @ VIC and Asianfanatics

Pix 1 : Zaizai endorses digital camera with a fee of NTD7million
Pix 2 : Zaizai ends break, starts new life and exercise

"Zai zai" Vic Chou has just ended a 2-month break of self shut-off. He disclosed that during this period, he did not go out at all, did not take care of his outer appearance, did not shave and sported a goatee like the ancient military soldier. He sat on the sofa the whole day without any aim, pressing the TV remote......" This is his way of releasing stress. Later, through his frequent visits back to Luodong (his hometown), accompanying his parents and little nephew, he finally found back the feelings of happiness, and discovered that these are the happy things in life.

Zai Zai admitted that after completing <Black & White> (Ruffian hero) and followed immediately with the filming of <Jin Da Ban > (The Last Night of Madame Chin), he was very exhausted. After everything ended, he took a complete break. His house mate Xiu Jie Kai finally could no longer endure his "bad act" of self shut-off. " Xiu Jie Kai and I will be sitting on the same sofa without talking at all, and it was only when he hears my stomach rumbling that he will ask me if I am hungry and force me to eat." Zai zai did not leave the house and all three meals were taken care of by Xiu Jie Kai.


Admits to poor body resistance, exercise for health

Later on, Zai zai went home often to Luodong to accompany his family, and also cultivated affection with his 2-year old nephew. His mobile phone has many pictures of his little nephew. "I love kids, but I must be fully prepared before I have one of my own."

Hong Kong artiste Stephy was infected with H1N1, Zai zai said that his natural body resistance is poor and he often gets colds. Prior to this, he frequently reminded fans to wipe and wash their hands after shaking hands with him. A few months ago, he was so tired until he burst his liver (this could be just a figure of speech) - his eyelids were always swollen and his eyes were blood-shot. Xiu Jie Kai encouraged him to exercise together. "I began to live a healthy lifestyle, maintaining regular routines, do not drive fast and in fact hardly drive around. I even plan to go the the gym with Xiu."


Camera endorsement, NTD7 million revenue

It is reported that Zai Zai will be getting NTD7 million for a digital camera* endorsement. He says with a laugh that he is also very suitable for endorsement of satellite navigation, cars and video/ online games because he is super bad with road recognition, and in the absence of satellite navigation, he will not dare to drive around Taipei city and even dare not drive into the alley ways. "I will definitely not reach home!" As for video/ online games, he is afraid to be dressed up the character in the video game.

(Recently) good friend Mark Zhao said that Ethan Ruan speaks too direct and not smooth (not sure how to translate圓&#28369 and this statement (from Mark) was seen as inappropriate. Zai Zai said that in fact, Mark Zhao is similar to Vanness Wu previously. He speaks using English logic and translates directly from English to Chinese, and this can be easily interpreted as having bad intention.

End of Otaku life, Zai zai accepts digital camera advertising for NTD7million

Translated by sytwo @ VIC and Asianfanatics

Pix 1 : Sony launched their new alpha series of single reflex lense camera yesterday, and invited Zhou Yumin as the endorser
Pix 2: Xiu Jie Kai pays close attention to Zai Zai's daily life pattern

Although Zai Zai is now single, he is still happy - when taking pictures he has Ken Chu help change the lense, and for meals he has housemate Xiu Jie Kai to take care of it, so that he can focus on taking a break doing nothing. Zai Zai is a severe-type of otaku (homebody), spending the whole day at the sofa watching TV or playing online/ video games. His moustache/ beard growing like a landlord (old usage), like Robinson [not sure who this is]. Yesterday, he attended a camera endorsement event, and due to having enough rest he seems totally refreshed and joked non-stop.

Zai Zai completed his filming work at the end of April this year. Aside from several specific pre-arranged activities, he almost always stayed at home. Strictly speaking, he has been busy working non-stop for 3 years straight. He became a couch potato, and Xiu Jie Kai could not endure it anymore, "Your life is too boring, go out and take a walk." Zai Zai was tired for too long and really want ed to do nothing, "This is the sort of life I need now."

To what extend did Zai Zai take a break (do nothing)? To the extend that when Xiu Jie Kai heard his stomach rumbling and asked him : "Are you hungry?", only then will he eat. Moreover, the food is entirely prepared by Xiu-Jie Kai. Zai Zai smile and said "Even the rice is prepared by him." This mode of interdependence, is similar with the recent ly hotly popular <郭鑫、阿布有異曲同工之妙>.

Zai zai accepted a camera advertising for a NTD7million reward, making a rare comeback (after long hiatus) and willing to cope with overwhelming queries from media, such as about Mark Zhao's rumours of "Big Headed Disease", and even about H1N1. Zai Zai said that he had known from the start that Mark Zhao will become popular, and from early on has told Mark what he will face. As for the rumors of "Big Headed Disease", he interceded on his behalf : "I have debuted for nine years. Vanness Wu of F4 is similar to him, using English logic and translating directly from English to Chinese. That's why it led to misunderstanding." And he who had always have weak body resistance, has predetermined long ago for his fans to always wash their hands before and after shaking hands to prevent from infecting each other.

Vic Chou, Ariel Lin “embrace” on Chinese Valentine’s Day in Shanghai, Thursday August 27, 2009 China
Yesterday (Aug. 26) Vic Chou and Ariel Lin, along with 10,000 people were at Shanghai’s Yuanshen Sports Center Stadium to take part in a special QiXi (Chinese Valentine’s Day) event -- “10,000 People Embracing,” marking a new Guinness Book of Records for the highest number of couples embracing. Vic, who’s popular with the ladies, seemed to have been caught in a dilemma – first saying that hugging Ariel gave him the best feeling (?) and then turning around and couldn’t seem to forget Da S, remembering the car accident four years ago.

Hard to forget love affair with Da S

Vic Chou and Ariel Lin participated in an “adventure party” in Shanghai yesterday. The theme was to create a new world record for couples embracing, with the couples required to hug each other tightly for 10 seconds. A lot of observers were curious how these two non-lovers would embrace other. Ariel looked kind of shy, while Vic, who’s filmed several “hug” scenes in his dramas, helped her out by stating frankly that the most-felt hug for him was when they embraced each other during the filming of the [Kangshifu] ad. “Lin Yi-chen looks small, slim and strong (?), but embracing her gives [one] quite a feeling.” [*sorry for the sucky translation: 看上去瘦小的林依晨感覺蠻結實，抱起來很有感覺。]

But when asked about his thoughts on the most romantic scene/spot, it looked like Vic was unable to forget Da S. “As long as it’s the right person, the woman that you favor in your heart, I think any place would become romantic, even if something unexpected happens, like the scene of a car accident.” One couldn’t help but remember the year 2005 when Vic was in a car accident and Da S cared for him, which was the beginning of their love affair. Asked if this “accident” refers to that incident four years ago, Vic said: “Everybody knows what it is.”

Every drama is a “transformation”

Vic’s transformation in “Black and White” has caught a lot of people’s attention. Yesterday, he clarified that he didn’t take on this role because he wanted a change (*to transform himself). “Actually, I’ve tried to make a transformation in every drama that I’ve done. I don’t really know what ‘type’ I am, so I have different characterizations (?) in each drama.”

What do Vic and Ariel, who have never collaborated [in a drama], hope they could work together on screen? The two were interviewed separately, but their answers were of “one mind.” Ariel said she hoped it would be drama on the relationship between a psychiatrist and a patient, as “this could be a test of [our] acting skills.” As for Vic, he said he hoped they could do a non-mainstream art film, such as a “crazy person” because “this type of films can help raise our acting skills. I’ve been performing for 10 years, I don’t want people to keep on viewing me as a ‘vase.’ That would be unfair to Director Tsai [*not sure how to translate this, what he actually said was這樣對不起柴導 something like he would feel sorry/ashamed for not doing better or improving since his discovered by Dir Tsai/Cai]. He also said that he’s focusing on acting and wouldn’t consider releasing an album for the time being.
