Lady Cop & Papa Crook (大搜查)
A tentative release date of December 24, 2008 in Mainland China has been set for the Sammi Cheng and Eason Chan starring Lady Cop & Papa Crook (大搜查). Eason Chan started promoting the film in Hong Kong yesterday and accepted interviews from the Mainland media. Due to an already packed December schedule, Eason will have to miss the Mainland premiere of this film. When speaking of the film, Eason immediately thanked directors Alan Mak and Felix Chong.
Director Felix Chong says he already eyed for Eason in 2006, "I was at one of his concerts where he wore a crow on top of his hat, at that moment I thought of Leslie Cheung. I'm not saying they look alike, it was their temperament that felt really close." Because of that feeling Felix Chong started thinking about writing a "Siu Sung" (小生) role for Eason, "When we were out drinking I told him I was looking for him to play the "Siu Sung" role, but he thought I was drunk," Felix says.
Eason's surprised reaction came about, as he put it himself, "Because I never thought someone would choose me to play a cool role. Since young, I thought the cool roles were played by actors such as Andy Lau, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, etc. I was sure they would not be played by Eason Chan."
Not yet seen the entire film, but seeing clips during dubbing, Eason expressed that he was already in shock, saying, "This was the first time I saw myself on the screen so cruel and so cool. I really need to thank directors Alan Mak, Felix Chong and the photographer. I am not Takeshi Kaneshiro, but the angle they used to film showed a handsome side. The photographer knew that if they filmed from an angle, the outline of Eason's face would be defined and he will look very cool."
Eason is also especially grateful towards the two directors for two scenes, scenes where Eason thought he didn't act well enough in, which ended up being two of the scenes in the film being praised. "I heard from friends, one scene where I was acting opposite my wife (Michelle Ye) and the other where I was acting opposite Sammi Cheng and honestly telling her my life story, that they thought I acted especially well in those scenes. Honestly, I had the most pressure during those two scenes," Eason says.

Ntv7’s Star Live Concert 2008.
Janice Vidal joins a host of international artistes for Ntv7’s Star Live Concert 2008.
Fans of Cantopop star Janice Vidal are in for a treat next month as the Hong Kong singer is set to party with local fans at Ntv7’s Star Live Concert 2008 barely half a year after her debut concert in Malaysia held at Stadium Merdeka in May.
“I miss my fans in Malaysia, and also the Seremban Siew Pau that fans bought for me,” she said in a recent phone interview from Hong Kong, adding that she would leave a message on her online forum for fans to support her at the concert.
Ntv7’s second annual star-studded year-end party is set to usher in the new year with performances by 13 local and international Chinese pop acts.
Held in conjunction with the Dongzhi or Winter Solstice Festival, the concert will be telecast live on Ntv7.
Apart from Vidal, the concert’s top draws are Hong Kong’s Wakin Chow and Vincy, Taiwan’s Harlem Yu, Jam Hsiao, Fan Wei Qi and Y2J, and Singapore’s JJ Lin. On the local front are Danny One, Cheng Lee, Ming, Manhand and Desiree Tan.
The pretty lass was excited to hear that Chow would be performing at the concert. “I’ve been a fan of his since my high school years. The first time I listened to him, I felt very touched. I really look forward to performing on the same stage as Chow. I’ve never met him before, so I’ll take this opportunity to ask for his autograph!”
Would she be singing with Chow? “I certainly hope to do so, although I’d be very satisfied if I could just shake his hand,” replied the 26-year-old bashfully.
Having just staged her Magic Live Concert in Hong Kong, the pop princess will be releasing her fourth album Serving You at the end of this month, two years after her third effort, Do U Know.
“I’ll be performing a new song Even If There Are No Fairy Tales in this World. Unlike other songs that I’m used to singing, this song is full of warmth and hope. Besides love songs, I hope to explore other genres. That’s why my new album will include more tunes with elements of hope and encouragement.”
Star Live Concert 2008, Ntv7’s second annual year-end concert, will be held on Dec 13, from 8.30pm to 11.30pm at Padang Timur Petaling Jaya (opposite Amcorp Mall). For concert details, visit ntv7.com.my.
The three-hour concert, to be telecast live, is organised by Galaxy with sponsorship by Sports Toto.

Bing Crosby sang White Christmas
“Although Bing Crosby has died, his song ‘White Christmas’ is still loved by everyone around the world,” Lee said. “We too wanted to make a symbolic song that can be heard everywhere in the winter. In times of economic troubles, we thought it would be nice to dedicate this song to the underprivileged in our society, such as senior citizens living alone.”
He added all the proceeds that would go to the creators of the song -- Lee, Kim, Hareem and iMBC -- for each song or ringtone download, or about W250 (US$1=W1,480) each, will be donated to charity. If the song is downloaded 100,000 times, that would amount to W25 million. Profits from karaoke installation and airplay will be added to this.
Lee will sing the song for the first time on his radio program on Saturday. The newly picked goodwill ambassador for Seoul will officially announce his donation plan during the appointment ceremony on Dec. 3 at Seoul City Hall. The beneficiaries and other details remain to be discussed.

'The Fashion Evolution' (潮男正传) officially release his album in December
After preparing for a year, under the anticipation of thousands of fans, Show Luo Zhi Xiang (罗志祥) will officially release his album in December, called 'The Fashion Evolution' (潮男正传). The contents of the album will be revealed bit by bit. An EMI representative expressed: "Xiao Zhu (小猪) is indeed a man of many talents! In his new album, he will have a breakthrough in both music and dancing; he will provide a performance that will impress many, and he will add in a lot of his ideas towards music and life. All these is course for anticipation, and will definitely be the most stunning in this year's market." Ever since he debuted, Show's music and dance steps are always something that young people work towards to, and his image is the pinnacle of style, ever since his '4 Heavenly King' days with bright suits and centre parting, to his stylish image now. Other than listening to the advice of professional stylists, he himself has taken a lot of pains in his image. To exhibit the journey of how he changed, Show thought of 'a theory of evolution', and in his new album, you would see his many images over the years. After photographing, he said: "I want to leave all the memories with me!"
Show, who is called the 'It-Style Male Representative' by the outside world, expressed: "My album is called 'The Fashion Evolution', because I feel that I really don't know what is the it style now!" He said: "To me, 'style' is an attitude you take towards music and life, my style can only be measured in inches!" Show also interestingly used his 'Pig-style' to substitute 'style's real meaning, "Doesn't everyone feel that style now is shown by the size you wear? For all those who wish to go the hip hop style, they wear size XL, super large size pants! All those who wants to go the 'fashionable boy' style, they wear clothes that are L size! For all those who wants to be more fashionable, they would wear those really fitting, narrow shirt and trousers, which is M size!" Show's own 'Fashion size argument', really let the workers and professional stylists by his side admire him.

S.H.E’s partnership for the 7th year
7 years is no short period, as many would perhaps term it as a critical point of any relationship – be it lovers, married couples – 7 years seemed to be a test of any relationship together, what more could be said for partners? This year is Taiwan popular female group – S.H.E’s partnership for the 7th year. They have seriously thought about it, “Can we continue as S.H.E?” This reflection is not due to their sister-relationship going through the mill, but rather a “growing-up question”. Their next big step in life would probably be to get married, give birth to kids, and could they continue to be so bubbly and always jumping about excitedly?
Regardless if S.H.E’s brand name would stand forever, or would it stop eventually, the sisters have vowed, “As long as S.H.E remains for a day, we will spread happiness to everybody.”
In the 7 years, the trio started off not knowing each other, and was arranged by the record company to stay together in a girls’ hostel. They have conquered the stage of “easier to be acquaintance than live-in roomies”. Now, they have each owned their properties and even though they no longer stay together, S.H.E’s relationship is still very good. In their free time, they would arrange to dine and meet up with friends too. Selina said, “Our relationship is already like good sisters. Even if we do not record albums together in future, and we lead our own lives, our relationship would remain as ‘family’. The gatherings will definitely continue.”

Ethan Ruan is a regular at fashion events
Ethan Ruan is a regular at fashion events, and after seeing lots, he is now pro at arranging clothes himself. Yesterday, Amber Guo visited the cast of “Defeated Queen” and Ethan was wearing 2 jackets outside a T-shirt. One was a yellow jacket with a checkered collar, and outside that was another leather jacket. Even though he plays the role of a very ordinary working-class man, his clothes definitely displayed his high fashion style.
Ethan laughed and said that during filming of “Fated To Love You”, as he played the role of Ji Cun Xi, he always had to wear suits, and this gave him a big headache. But as for this role, he can wear his own favourite clothes and show it off to everyone, he is especially happy that he can wear jeans. However, he who is already 27 years old has to play a 20-year old guy this time, and everyday he has to practise acting cute infront of the mirror!
The night before yesterday was a big battle between idol dramas. “Invincible Shan Bao Mei”, “Miss No Good” and “Love or Bread” ratings were all very close, but “Invincible Shan Bao Mei” s kiss scene evidently let it take the top position in ratings once again. This made Amber Guo very happy. However, when Ethan saw the 2, after only a few words of congratulations, the topic quickly changed to bed scenes. Ethan teased them saying, “You guys were only chatting with the blanket over yourself, that is called bed scene? Then me and Cheryl are really filming a martial arts film!” His tone evidently suggests that he thinks of himself as “King of bed scenes”. Amber shyly replied, “That’s because Nicholas is too polite la!”
Ethan laughed and said that during filming of “Fated To Love You”, as he played the role of Ji Cun Xi, he always had to wear suits, and this gave him a big headache. But as for this role, he can wear his own favourite clothes and show it off to everyone, he is especially happy that he can wear jeans. However, he who is already 27 years old has to play a 20-year old guy this time, and everyday he has to practise acting cute infront of the mirror!
The night before yesterday was a big battle between idol dramas. “Invincible Shan Bao Mei”, “Miss No Good” and “Love or Bread” ratings were all very close, but “Invincible Shan Bao Mei” s kiss scene evidently let it take the top position in ratings once again. This made Amber Guo very happy. However, when Ethan saw the 2, after only a few words of congratulations, the topic quickly changed to bed scenes.

Maki Horikita and Kenichi Matsuyama have been cast as co-stars in a new movie directed by American filmmaker Hans Canosa ("Conversations with Other Women"). Although the movie is being made primarily for the Japanese market, there are plans to have the film screened in the U.S., and some of the dialogue will be in English.
The movie's working Japanese title is "Nakushita Kioku." It is based on the novel "Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac" by American author Gabrielle Zevin, which tells the story of a girl named Naomi who loses the last four years of her memory after falling down a staircase. While Naomi tries to re-establish her identity, she also has to deal with romance in the form of Yuji (Matsuyama), an older schoolmate.
Filming begins this Wednesday. The movie's Japanese premiere is planned for fall 2009, and a U.S. release will hopefully follow in 2010.

Taiwan stallion Ethan Ruan new drama “Defeated Queen”
Taiwan stallion Ethan Ruan is currently filming for his new drama “Defeated Queen”. When describing a passionate bed scene with Cheryl Yang, he blurted out, “She sees that I’m so small, and immediately kicks me off the bed!” Looking at everyone’s dumbfounded expressions, he immediately clarified, “Is age small la.”
Following SETTV’s “Fated To Love You”, Ethan’s new drama “Defeated Queen” has already begun filming, and tells of an older girl-younger guy story. During practise, he had bed scenes with each of Cheryl Yang, Sui Tang, Su Hui Lun. When filming officially began, he immediately got into the bed with Cheryl. Ethan should be quite familiar with this already, and during the scene, he took off his t-shirt, and passionately kissed Cheryl from the sofa, to the wall, and finally to the bed. However, Cheryl is obviously not used to this, and facing the unfamiliar Ethan, her neck was so stiff that she had a spasm, and almost couldn’t continue filming.
Back when he had his bed scene with Chen Qiao En, they 2 were also very unfamiliar with each other. Now, it is the same situation with Cheryl. Ethan admitted that with both these girls, he filmed bed scenes with them first before getting to know them better. However, his biggest worry right now is that, previously his Taichung friends kept asking him, “Is Qiao En hot?” and now is going to change into, “Is Cheryl hot?”
Cheryl Yang and Wen Shen Hao acted as husband and wife in the film “1895”, and had kiss scenes. Now, they are going to act as a couple again in “Defeated Queen”. When asked about comparisions of the kiss scene between Wen Sen Hao and Ethan, Cheryl obviously wanted to avoid this question, and in the end, awkwardly said that with Wen Shen Hao, because of the time which the movie is set, it was the ancient kind of method, and with Ethan she replied, “It’s more of a playful type of kiss.”
“Defeated Queen” was initially called “My Defeated Queen” but because they wanted to avoid similarity with GTV’s “Love or Bread”, they changed to “Defeated Queen” instead, and Ethan must compete against his good friend Joe Cheng once again.

K-entertainment sphere
One of the most openly affectionate couples in the K-entertainment sphere, who were largely expected to announce wedding plans sometime soon (possibly even this year), has instead broken it off.
Kim Jung-eun and Lee Seo-jin started dating while filming the 2006 SBS drama Lovers, and had been going strong ever since. In the two years they had been dating, they were one of a few celebrity couples who were open about their relationship status (many others choose to be coy, denying rumors even when they’re obvious to the public), and were occasionally seen in public on dates together. Both stars were effusive in praise about the other, and Lee Seo-jin even appeared on Kim Jung-eun’s variety show (Chocolate) to serenade her with a love song, singing the same love theme that marked their characters’ romance in the drama Lovers. The two traveled to the U.S. together as recently as this summer, and shot a fashion spread together in New York in September.
So it’s a bit of a shock to hear from Kim Jung-eun’s own lips that the couple is no more. She admitted it in press interviews on November 22, saying she couldn’t keep lying to the public further — the split occurred at the end of October. It’s particularly surprising since the couple hadn’t given signs of much trouble or fighting leading up to this news.
Kim confessed that it was a one-sided decision; Lee initiated the breakup, which came as a shock to her. She fought tears as she conducted her interview, saying, “It felt like I’d been in an unexpected car accident” and “I felt like I’d been shot.”
She admits that it’s difficult dealing with the shock of the breakup, and had just begun work on her new series General Hospital 2 when Lee dumped her. The drama just began airing this Wednesday on MBC.

New Golden Bell Queen Ariel Lin
New Golden Bell Queen Ariel Lin meets with 2 guys in Tokyo. Jerry Yan had just left, but then she bumped into her old partner Joe Cheng at Narita Airport. What is even more coincident is that although the 2 were attending different functions, they were wearing similar gray couple outfits; tacit understanding is indeed very good.
Ariel and Joe have already collaborated 3 times, obviously the tacit understanding is really good. Ariel earlier went to Japan to attend the press conference for her new drama “Extravagant Challenge” and one day later, Joe also went to Tokyo to attend a DVD promotion event for “It Started With A Kiss”. Coincidentally, the 2 were both on the same flight back home, but even more, Joe revealed that during filming, “Whenever it was raining, we would both come out wearing gumboots, and otherwise we would wear same colour, same style outfits without knowing what the other is wearing, even we feel surprised ourselves.”
The 2’s new drama “Love or Bread” has just aired, and the ratings are slightly behind. Joe immediately said, “Many people think that the cross-dress scene would be in the first episode, but they didn’t see it, but the second episode, it will definitely come out, everyone please be patient and watch!”
Initially, Jerry and Ariel’s new drama “Extravagant Challenge” wanted Joe to play the role of Ariel’s ex-boyfriend, however Joe was worried that there was not enough screen-time so he rejected. Although the 2 missed out on the chance of a 4th collaboration, Joe has become red-hot popular in Japan due to “It Started With A Kiss”. Because the manga writer has passed away for exactly 10 years, Japan held an “It Started With A Kiss” event to commemorate teacher Tada Kaoru and Taiwanese version Joe Cheng and Japanese version Aiko Sato were invited to attend the event.
Ariel on the other hand is not worried that she is left out in the cold in Japan, saying, “Well, Japan is male idol’s world.” However, as many Taiwanese dramas have been aired in Japan, sources report that Ariel Lin, Da S and Rainie Yang are the 3 most popular actresses in Japan.

Initially, Jerry and Ariel’s new drama “Extravagant Challenge” wanted Joe to play the role of Ariel’s ex-boyfriend, however Joe was worried that there was not enough screen-time so he rejected. Although the 2 missed out on the chance of a 4th collaboration, Joe has become red-hot popular in Japan due to “It Started With A Kiss”. Because the manga writer has passed away for exactly 10 years, Japan held an “It Started With A Kiss” event to commemorate teacher Tada Kaoru and Taiwanese version Joe Cheng and Japanese version Aiko Sato were invited to attend the event.
Ariel on the other hand is not worried that she is left out in the cold in Japan, saying, “Well, Japan is male idol’s world.” However, as many Taiwanese dramas have been aired in Japan, sources report that Ariel Lin, Da S and Rainie Yang are the 3 most popular actresses in Japan.

YUI released her B-side best album " MY SHORT STORIES "
Last week, singer-songwriter YUI released her B-side best album "MY SHORT STORIES." The collection sold a total of 174,000 copies to take #1 for the week.

Three other female singers entered the top ten: Beyonce (#3), Christina Aguilera (#5), and Enya (#6). Dir en grey managed to make #4 with their new album, while The Birthday edged into the #10 spot.
On the singles chart, Dreams Come True took #1 with 46,000 copies of their latest, "Tsuretette Tsuretette." While the group now has 11 number-one singles, this is their first since becoming a duo in 2002. Their last chart-topper came 9 years and 10 months ago, which sets a record for the longest gap between number-ones by a group.
Right behind Dreams Come True were The GazetteE and the reunited girl band SPEED. The rest of the top ten included ORANGE RANGE, Mika Nakashima, Mai Satoda, Buono!, and The Gospellers.

Angie Cai's new drama " 王子看見二公主 "
Acting ugly for comedy purposes has become the next in thing in idol dramas. Dylan Kuo has quickly caught up with the trend and in Angie Cai's new drama "王子看見二公主", he's going to be idiotic. Director Winnie even set rules "Do not show me that deep and serious look again!" However, Dylan has the habit already so in the first day of working, he actually NGed over 20 times.
"王" was filming it's opening theme yesterday and Dylan had to comb his hair high up, revealing the forehead, becoming the male version of Rainie Yang. Originally, the script needed him to curl his hair but he was reluctant and it changed to just Afro-hairstyle. Dylan is acting as a stupid and dumb geek in the drama and will be working with Miao Ke Li and Bai Yun who are both very comical people. He originally thought that he would need alcohol to open up but in the end, once he was filming, he started to relax and even when Miao Ke Li accidentally kissed his lips, he replied glibly "Miao Jie is really very pretty!"
"王子看見二公主" hasn't even filmed for a month but it will be taking over "Miss No Good" on 14th December and using the film while it air style. However, the director happens to be "slow" director Winnie Huo so won't there be the problem of not enough scenes? Yesterday, Winnie smiled and said "I can be a fast director too." He said that in the past, scenes that needed the car to film, now he can even use a tricycle to film. He described the drama as "Pi Li Huo + My Home is Your Home + It Started with A Kiss". It is making everyone crazy.
Others think that Dylan doesn't have the comical feel but Winnie said that "He's a natural comedy actor. When he's talking, he will suddenly get stuck and his laughter is very weird too." This time round, Winnie got Bai Yun who is very similiar to him in terms of looks to take part in the drama and moaned about "Too bad we met so late". In the end, Bai Yun retorted "I think it's not late enough."

Christine Fan at Taipei concert
Christine Fan ended her Taipei concert and the 2nd leg of of tour will bring her to TaiChung. FanFan who once studied there for a year has special feelings for TaiChung and thus, in terms of concert content, FanFan has made adjustments specially for the TaiChung concert. She hopes that the fans in TaiChung will get a very different feeling and from the effort that she has put in already, it can be seen how FanFan values the TaiChung conce t alot.
For the guest part, not only will Hey Girl dance with her on stage, there's also company-mate Angela Chang whom she has rumors of being in conflict with. In the Taipei concert, FanFan and Lollipop danced together on stage and she managed to overcome her coordination disability. This time in the TaiChung concert, FanFan will bring out her dance skills again and have a hot and sexy dance together with Hey Girl. Continuing the trend of having a very important and high-profile guest such as Ah Mei, in the TaiChung concert, her big guest is Angela Chang whom she has been having rumors of conflicts with. Christine Fan invited Angela Chang so that they can quash all rumors of conflicts once and for all. Today at the Press Conference, the two of them used their close interactions to prove their good relations too.
At the scene, Angela specially brought out a cake to wish FanFan success in her concert and the two started a game of smearing of cream on each other's face which seemed to show their good relation. Angela even specified that "I seldom sing for other people's concert. When I do, the maximum is 1 song, this time round, I'll be singing 2 songs."
Angela who was just photographed earlier to have a double chin wore black tight-fitting pants and showed off her hip and leg curvature. She wasn't scared of comparison with "paper-thin" Fan Fan. When asked by the media about her gain in weight problem, she moaned "I'm really very skinny! Stop saying I'm fat!"
Earlier when Angela had a concert in Singapore, she invited FanFan to be her guest and this time round, it's FanFan's turn to return the invitation. The two will have exciting interactions at the concert and besides discussing female topics, when talking about the concert, the two started to share their experience with hanging on a steel rod. FanFan expressed that after the two of them had to be hanged on a steel rod in their concert, they both similarly felt that their lower body was very heated.
FanFan is going to show off the electric guitar skills that she has practiced very hard on and this time, she will be using the Q version electric guitar from good friend Makiyo. She wants to use her guitar charm to shock all the TaiChung fans. Boyfriend Blackie also gave a over hundred thousand dollar guitar to FanFan, an attempt to make FanFan's mood better because the concert has caused her to be very stressful. When talking about this, FanFan embarrassedly said that because of the vast amount of stress, she hasn't been in a good mood recently and boyfriend Blackie became her only source for venting. She specially apologised through the screen to boyfriend Blackie for often throwing tantrums at him. She also expressed that after the concert, she agrees to any kind of compensation that he wants. It seems like Blackie can consider proposing after the concert. The chances of success should be very great.

Six years since their 9th album back in 2002
“I like hosting a music program, but I enjoy singing quite a lot, too.” So saith actress Kim Jung-eun, who is now taking a stab at singing. Her vocals will be featured on the comeback album for folk-pop duo Tour Sketch [여행스케치], who is coming out with a new (mini) album after six years since their 9th album back in 2002.

Kim’s track “A Rising Star” [별이 뜬다네] offers a parodic twist on Tour Sketch’s debut track from 1989, “A Falling Star” [별이 진다네], setting “bright vocals” to a reggae rhythm. (Listen to the original song below.) This album will be produced in a “diary” format, with the CD tucked in the back of the book, which contains travel pictures taken by the group members.
In addition to hosting a music talk program, Kim Jung-eun’s Chocolate, she is set to star in the upcoming General Hospital 2, which premieres next Wednesday.

Lin Yi Chen explained that the pajamas were bought by her mother, actually she also really wants to wear thin lace shoulder straps.
The natural facial appearance of sex goddess Liz was criticized by Xiao S as having eyes without spirit, and pores that are rough and large, [My husband has always thought that you are very pure, but I wonder what he will think after seeing this episode?] Xiang Ying’s natural facial appearance also frightened Zheng Yuan Chang, claiming first prize for the poorest natural facial appearance, Zheng Yuan Chang saying: [I think it is better for girls to have eyebrows.]
Yesterday Lin Zi Xuan was carrying a 5 month pregnant belly and was sweetly with husband Liu Zhi Han on MuchTV’s “Jin Wan Shui Dang Jia” removing make-up, Liu Zhi Han praising: [My wife puts on make-up like a doll, does not put on make-up like the girl-next-door, the most beautiful.] Two of them are already legally married, Lin Zi Xuan said it was Grandma who decided, not wanting the children to have the word [adopted] appear on the household register.

Fahrenheit’s concert in Kuala Lumpur
Fahrenheit’s forthcoming concert in Kuala Lumpur promises a good time for fans.
That Fahrenheit is arguably the hottest Mando-pop boyband since F4 can be seen by the crowd of young fans milling around the hotel lobby and at various entrances and exits hoping to catch a glimpse of their idols.
You could say that Fahrenheit mania hit town in a big way and the group’s hotel in Kuala Lumpur was practically under siege.
The four dashing pop stars – Calvin Chen, Jiro Wang, Aaron Yan, Wu Chun – were in town for a press conference to promote their concert tour.
Malaysia is the second leg of Fahrenheit’s Fantasy World Tour which kicked off with a two-day gig in Hong Kong on Sept 26. Both were sell-out shows with a combined turnout of 24,000. Following their show here, the boys are set to perform in China, Japan, South Korea and Thailand. Although this recent trip was considered Fahrenheit’s second official visit to Malaysia, it was the first time all four members were in Malaysia for a promotional tour.
Last year, only three – Wu, Wang and Chen – were present as Yan was recovering from surgery on a torn knee ligament sustained while filming a dance session for a music video.
This time, Wang arrived in a wheelchair. To allay media members’ concerns, Wang stood up to pose for pictures with the boys and clarified, “I really appreciate that the organisers are concerned that I might put too much pressure on my knee and over-exert myself so they have arranged for me to move around comfortably to avoid aggravating my injury.
“My knee is still sore and hurts every now and then. But, I really want to hasten the recovery period, so I can perform at my best during our concert here.” Yan was cheery and spoke in English.
“I’ve been really healthy. Don’t worry about me. We’ll put on a wonderful show,” said Yan.
All the band members are busy blokes, it seems.
After making his big screen debut starring alongside Hong Kong’s Charlene Choi, Wu can now be seen in the costume flick Butterfly Lovers, which is showing in cinemas nationwide.
“It’s good that I’m done with the film’s promotional activities, so I can concentrate on preparing for the concert,” said Wu.
As for the concert itself on Nov 15, the organisers are going for the big party experience with Fahrenheit.
“This KL concert will feature six costume changes while showcasing individual talents by each member – Wu Chun on drums, Jiro on the guitar, Aaron on the piano, and Calvin beatboxing. Apart from that, the concert will also feature multiple themes including futuristic, animation and Broadway, just to name a few,” said Kenneth Teo, general manager of Big Events Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Media Prima Bhd.
“Fahrenheit fans should expect a spectacular concert. The boys promise a rocking big party,” added Teo.
Having made their debut in 2006, the boys have two Mandarin albums and two Japanese singles. They were named Most Popular Group at the HITO Music Awards 2008, among the many accolades received.

Mei Lanfang finished post-production in Tokyo
Director Chen Kaige's much-anticipated blockbuster 'Mei Lanfang' finished post-production in Tokyo on Monday. Scenes involving controversial actress Gillian Chung were removed. The actress withdrew from the project at short notice following her involvement in an explicit photo scandal earlier this year.
Sina.com quoted the film's producer China Film Group as saying on Monday that Hong Kong actress and singer Gillian Chung's performance as Mei Lanfang's wife, Fu Zhifang, were cut. Director Chen expressed his regret over the decision and said he appreciated the effort Chung had put during filming.
The star-studded film featuring Chinese mainland actress Zhang Ziyi and Hong Kong singer-actor Leon Lai has been under the spotlight since shooting started. There was public speculation whether Chung's scenes would be withdrawn after the naked photo scandal came to light.
The task of eliminating Chung's scenes from the production was said to be incredibly difficult. The director is reported to have used computer techniques during the scenes of Mei Lanfang's wife, Fu Zhifang, played by mainland actress Chen Hong, to capture her development over time.
The article adds that director Chen said Chung had presented her acting talent and professional ethic during filming. He hoped people would focus on the film itself and show understanding for the actress.
It is not known yet whether the deleted scenes will be available in the film's DVD version.
Reportedly, family members of the late master Mei Lanfang had expressed their dissatisfaction with Chung's presence in the film in the wake of the scandal and massive public backlash.
The film's first trailer, which is 2-minute long, will be screened at midnight on November 5, when another anticipated hit, the latest in the James Bond series, 007: Quantum of Solace, kicks off nationwide.
The biopic about the late Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang is due out on December 12 this year.

SHINee released another New repackage album
Cute flower boys SHINee released their repackage album and is gaining popularity. Including their 1st album songs they have added 4 new songs, their repackage album title song is Ah.Mi.Go which is a shorten version of If You Love a Beauty You Will Suffer and it means Friend in Spanish.
SHINee is planning to show charisma in this album. If they showed a cute YunHaNam with Replay, with this title song they are planning to show the charisma of boys and make the noonas nervous. Especially in Amigo the melody "Ice Princess is Here. Oh Sexy~" is unique and fun. Yoo YoungJoon wrote the song and X-perimental composer participated in the song as well. It has a powerful sound and fun lyrics. SHINee is determined to become the best new artist this year with this song.
SHINee is between the age of 16 and 19 and is composed of 5 members Onew, Taemin, JongHyun, Minho and Key. They received attention even from their trainee years and they are a new Idol group produced by SM Entertainment. SHINee is a talented group and can sing and dance. SHINee is a idol group that debuted in May and they already have 3 albums, their single, 1st album and repackage album. So fans thought SHINee wasn't a new group.
"Wherever we go people think we have been performing for over 1 year. But we haven't even been out for 1 year yet. We have a lot to learn." (Minho) The common thing about these boys is that they picked music as their road at a young age and is walking on that road now. The current generation is known to quit fast but they haven't shown any weaknesses. The members dreamed of becoming a singer in preschool & junior high and tried the SM Entertainment audition. Key had to repeat the audition in order to pass. So to them music wasn't just a simple curiosity.
"I was able to pass the SM audition after trying again. The audition was only picking 2 people and the competition was fierce. I was one of those 2 people. My family did oppose at first but while i performed as SHINee and came out on TV they gave me support." (Key)
To them music wasn't just a dream but reality. SHINee is a idol group but they have already become a musician with firm goals. Their goal is not just becoming a simple idol group but being recognized as a musician. So instead of concentrating on special genres, they want to listen to various music and learn from them and Establish their own color.
"We still have a lot to learn so we don't want to make any limits/boundaries. We don't want to devote ourselves on one genre but we want to listen to various music and establish our own color. That's our goal." (Onew) SHINee is filled with passion to learn and I'm getting curious about where their curiosity and the fan's love will lead them to.
