Ming Dao [明道] and Chen Qiao En [陳喬恩] -Part 4-, Popular couple from WZBQW & YY3+1

Background
Popular couple from Prince Turn to Frog (Wang Zi Bian Qing Wa) -- the highest-rated drama in Taiwanese Entertainment since 2005 to date. As leading actor and actress from the well liked drama, Ming Dao and Qiao En have become one the Taiwanese Entertainment's most popular couples! They are referred to as "MingEn" [明恩] by loyal fans. Taken from the phrase 日月因心 which loosely translated as whatever things happen, it's due to your heart.. (The "Ming" [明] from Ming Dao, and the "En"[恩] from Qiao En)

With undeniable strong chemistry, Ming Dao and Qiao En quickly showed their equal strong acting abilities that enhanced each other characters, making their romance on-screen seem so real and believable to many viewers. Being managed by the same Company J-Stars, it given Ming Dao & Qiao En lots of opportunity to co-operated together from making MV clips with their music groups (183 Club & 7 Flowers) or appeared in variety shows together . However with the Company strict rule, forbidden all internal relationships with its artists. The dream for Ming Dao and Qiao En becoming a reality couple was so close yet seem to be impossible.

Until May 2007, MingEn once again collaborated as on-screen partners in the Sanli Summer Idol drama Ying Ye 3 + 1. This was where their chemistry burnt the scenes, and through valuable BTS clips/photos revealed Ming Dao and Qiao En were more than just friends, they are best of friends.

Recently, in Qiao En’s newly published personal book titled ‘Have you seen En?’, she openly talked about her ‘close’ and ‘comfortable’ friendship with Ming Dao by saying “Ah Ming is a prince, and is a frog, he is also an irreplaceable friend!”. Ming Dao also added his personal comment to the book’s foreword in which he said: “Dearest Qiao En, Ah Ming will always support you!”

* ) Naomi, I also remember reading something about MD/QE should be acting the FTL series.
However, Sunzho does not have enough budget for both of them to act, therefore they
did the story under co-production with Ethan company.
I was also, thinking, could that be the reason why they take in Ethan to act as he looks a bit like MD > I mean a bit only .
MD is still gorgeous incomparison to him.
I can't imagine if QE/MD were to act FTLY - they will definitely confirm their status after the
bedscene ....... dream on.....

* ) Oh wow! thanks for this news, I didn't knew that.
I think MD would do a GREAT job, he is such a good actor and with his chemistry with QE.... clapping.gif no more words needed wink.gif
It's a pity that Ethan got the role, not that he is not good! But I prefer MD more.
I would definetely love MD and QE in FTL

* ) roseecheek, i kinda think the same way actually.... and MD said during the WQYL that he was surprised to see a person who looked like to himself in bed with QE (i think he saw the pic of the bed scene between QE and Ethan), but he then said that he felt awkward after seeing the picture..

i've been wondering if he got jealous or not to see QE has bed scenes with Ethan and i heard there will be a lot of romantic scenes between QE and Ethan... oh no!!!
whereas MingEn only has really few romantic scenes in their two series...

* ) Alright girls, I get worry when seeing FTLY popped up again, we just got out one gun cannel for for sake people, do you want history repeating itself?

But since Boss Naomi bought it up.
I'll say it once and won't touch on it again.

Properly because I don't watch FTLY so I don't have any special feeling for it. I've only base on what I've heard and read about it. So it, it is still another version of fairy Tale in another word PTF. Rich guys meet poor, blur girl and had an accident.

If Mingen were to play in it, it would going to be old road all over again apart from the bed scene, and who knows, people will start critising about "If that the only kind roles they can play?" or "They are only good at it because I've played that type of roles before!"

I want Mingen to challenge themself on something new, something different. Something that made me wow and said "No one can act out better or as good as them in that role."

I might be the only one, but that's why I LOVE Ying Ye so much. It brings Mingen's chemistry into a different era.

In WZBQW, the love story is typical, Prince meet underated girl and felt in love and would do anything for her. Mingen achieved that to the max.

In YY3+1, it's a totally unrelated love story, two childhood friends, grew up together, fight together and fall in love together. And in the end they'll try to do everything to keep their love intact. I've said before, I think MD & QE are the only two actors who can portraited the love between AJ and XT in such a deep, lingering way that made you smile everytime they fight and cry everytime they separated. That's original and to more more valuable.

But let keep peace here guys, start away from FTLY to keep the intruders away please.

Seo In Young, outfit plagiarism, Tuesday April 22, 2008 Korea

Netizens are at it again! Now they are criticizing Seo In Young’s outfit in Jewelry’s “Silence!” music video, which was shot yesterday. According to Netizens, it was copied from Christina Aguilerra’s outfit in her “Can’t Hold Us Down” music video.

Comments like “The two outfits look so much alike” and “She seems to have no individuality” regarding the said issue can be seen online. But not everyone was against Seo In Young because one Netizen posted “Is it already plagiarism just because their clothes are the same?”

Slanderin’ names for popularity
It’s sad you only get your fame through controversy
So what am I not supposed to say what I’m saying
Are you offended by the message I’m bringing
Call me whatever cos your words don’t mean a thing
Guess you ain’t even a man enough to handle what I sing

* ) I said the exact same thing on popseoul. Seo In Young's outfit is straight out cop-out of Christina's.
Like I said before Jewelry is UNORIGINAL. They just copy whatever they see.
Like that ET Dance the ones that started it up was BEG's & Jewelry admitted it too..Now Seo In Young's copying Christina's outfit.
The whole concept is the same. The matching hat & the black hair in sorta a messy pony/bun, the gold chains it's all a cop-out.

* ) AHH...Plagiarism
People are taking the word 'plagiarism' too seriously.
Not trying to thumb down Seo In Young but her, wardrobe stylist dress sense needs some serious work!

* ) er, i dont think there is such a thing as outfit plagiarism.

plagiarism is copying of WORDS.

anyways, that really is so UNORIGINAL. i wouldnt support an artist if there is even a hint of unoriginality.

* ) wow the outfit looks exactly the same.
there are so many outfits out there where they can choose from.

Pretty TVB Ancient Costumes?

I've always adored the beauty of traditional Chineses fashion. I especially adore the ancient costume representations of hanfu worn for TVB series. Well, who do you think wore the prettiest ancient costumes and in what series did that artist star in? This does not have to be just hanfu, but other traditional Chinese dress from other dynasties as well. Also, who do you think wore the best ancient hairstyle? Please post pictures so we can all see your opinions!

* ) i thnk tvb did a reallli good job in its ancient chinese customes...this is one part of tvb that i realli admire is its costumes and clothings..

* ) The two you listed are two of my favorites as well !
But one I could never forget is Tavia in Twin of Brothers , as Lee Sau Ning . She looked so beautiful in that series ! Also Tavia in Land of Wealth was really good too . I think Tavia looks quite good in ancient costumes .

* ) the above pictures of bernice and leila are really pretty adn their costumes looks really pretty too. the one that tavia wore in twin of brothers was really pretty and the one that michelle ye wore in lost of the chamber of love was really pretty too.

* ) I really like the ancient costumes by TVB. Very elegant and beautiful.

Some actresses have the 'ancient beauty' when wearing the costumes.

Ex., Michelle Ye, Tavia, Bernice, Esther Kwan, etc.

* ) the ancient clothes are soo beautifull.... and the some of the hairstyle too...

Janice's Birthday Wish, Sunday April 20, 2008 Malaysia

http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Mon.../indexpull_html

Hong Kong Songbird Janice didn’t have time to celebrate her birthday a week ago, but her fans in Kuala Lumpur made it a special day for her.
SHARON WONG writes.

FAST-RISING Hong Kong singer Janice was in town recently in conjunction with her upcoming Malaysian concert on May 1 at Stadium Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur.

Janice met fans at Sungei Wang Plaza and at the Seremban Terminal.

Excited from the success of her Hong Kong concert at the Coliseum last year, Janice hopes to give her Malaysian fans a show to remember and revealed there would be guest artistes.

“I hope to have one male and one female artiste,” she said.
Could they be Michael Wong and twin Jill? When pressed, she conceded the male artiste looks a lot like Wong,” she said, giggling. “I have already informed him of my concert here.”

Her “boss”, Leon Lai, has been informed of her concert here but it remains to be seen if he will make it to KL.

There have been rumours that Lai had secretly married his model girlfriend, Lok Kei Yi, and being his protege, Janice became the target for questions at the media session.

A little overwhelmed, Janice said that she had not heard anything. “I don’t know, I have not heard the news from Leon himself,” she said.

“I really don’t think so as I believe if Leon really gets married, he would tell me.”

Janice’s 26th birthday fell on April 13 but celebrations had to be postponed until after her Malaysian concert. However, her fans in Malaysia at Sungei Wang presented her with a birthday cake and a portrait painted by a Malay artist.

Overcome by their thoughtfulness and love, Janice’s eyes moistened. She said it was the happiest day of her life. And her birthday wish? “That my Malaysian concert is a success,” she said.

Janice’s or Janice Vidal, is of mixed Filipino-Korean parentage and first made her debut in the Hong Kong music scene in 2005.

She caught the attention of composer/producer Mark Lui when she was backing vocals for one of Lai’s songs in 2001. Subsequently, Lai signed her on to his label and she started doing covers of Lai’s songs.

In 2005, Janice released her debut album titled Day & Night, which became a big hit. A string of awards and more albums followed, and early last year, she held her first concert in Hong Kong at the Coliseum.

In the same year, she won a competition held by the Madame Tussauds museum in Hong Kong to select a new wax celebrity, which is no mean feat for a relative newcomer. Her wax lookalike was displayed in the glamour section.

Janice My First Concert In Malaysia 2008 is organised by Galaxy Group and tickets are priced at RM358, RM268, RM178 and RM88. For more information, call 03-22822020 or log on to www.galaxy.com.my.
