Today at 11:53am Beijing Time – message sent from a cellphone
Super Boys has been approved by SARFT! After a three years, eeMedia will finally get a new dose of hot and talented singers.
In addition to Super Boys, another competition show named “Green China: Flower Blossoms” was approved mid-February. The show will be hosted by Hunan TV’s recently brought subsidiary Qinghai TV.
Jaeson Ma spent the past year making the film 1040, about the spread of Christianity in the area known as the “10/40 window”, referring to the area between 10 degrees and 40 degrees North latitude in the Eastern hemisphere. The film covers China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia. Jaeson is friends with a lot of entertainers in Asia, so the documentary has a large amount of interviews with stars like Van Ness Wu, Jin Tha MC, and Sean Noh (of Jinusean). The powerful film can get intense, as it shows people talking in tongues, exorcisms. It also contains moving interviews and coverage about missionary activity Asians are doing in places where westerners really can’t go anymore, like in Afghanistan. Visit the film’s website here, where there is info if you have a church you’d like to attend screenings with and see the hard work of these guys culminate on the screen.
Tang Dynasty, whom some called China’s first “heavy-metal” band, finally returns. The band’s first album sold over 2 million copies, and then their second album was released seven years later. This time, after an eight year wait, they will be releasing their 3rd album, an EP on March 28, at a special performance concert in Beijing. It is worth nothing that the EP will only be sold at performances venues, and not in stores, and that there will only be 1000 copies available.
The one photoshoot Laure Shang doesn’t look creepy in heavy makeup and Elle doesn’t fail. And if you still haven’t seen it enough already – ixiedin and viceofvirtues subbed her MV What? What!, where she unfortunately doesn’t look so classy in the makeup but sounds gorgeous anyways.
Zhang Jiani and Blue Lan posed for Xingrui for their upcoming Hunan TV- drama Si Si Xin Dong. Si Si Xin Dong will air in March, probably following the Ugly Wudi Finale.
The series tells of Zhang Xiaorou (Zhang Jiani), a Qingdao girl who goes to Shanghai to work for a TV station. There, her beautiful hair (be ready for Meteor Shower-esque shampoo commercials) catches the eye of Ouyang Chen (Blue Lan), a romantic and sweet cafe owner. While drama occurs in the TV station, where Xiaorou’s talents brings her to the front of the camera and brought her the love of her boss and jealousy of another host, trouble occurs at home as Hou Qisheng (Super Boy Lu Hu) secretly rents out Ouyang Chen’s apartment to Zhang Xiaorou.
And all this trouble could’ve been avoided if only she had tried out for Hunan station instead of a Shanghai one.
Though details have not been officially revealed, pictures have appeared on a children’s art school of a new comedy movie titled “玩转大明星,” or “play big celebs,” with singer-actor Wang Leehom, Super Girl 2009 Zeng Yike, and TV host Chen Handian. Fans visiting also said that they saw Crystal Liu Yifei on the set. For this movie, not only has Wang Leehom dyed his hair yellow/brown, but he’s also wearing a hippie shirt. Furthermore, this will be both Zeng Yike’s first movie and Liu Yifei’s first project in a long time (her last TV series/film was Forbidden Kingdom in 2007).
What movie could’ve made this most random group of people gather together in even stranger costumes?
Jane Zhang plays both a celebrity and a normal girl in her new MV
Singer Jane Zhang recently released her MV for I believe for her new album “Believe in Jane.” The MV is the first produced by Show City Times, a Chengdu-based company that Jane started. Another MV for the album is in progress, starring Super Girls 2009 Pan Chen and actor Joseph Chang.
As I was casually browsing through the Zhang Jie- Xie Na couple tieba, a fan suddenly begun posting celebration posts of another OTP – Blackie and Fan Weiqi.
Yep, after 10 years of dating, Blackie finally proposed to Fan Weiqi on Feb 17, 2010 in the middle of a New Jersey Nets vs. Miami Heats basketball game. Pictures of the whole process below the cut and a video here. Even Yi Jianlian clapped for them, too! Love the random guy who screamed “OH MY GOD.” (more…)
The most epic MV of the season was definitely What?What! by Laure Shang, who kept her rich voice but replaced the European-classy MV with half naked European guys with oiled skin.
