Wei Chen and Hong Chen sings the theme song "Love Enchantment"

After collaborating for Singing in the Rain and Umbrella, Wei Chen and Hong Chen meets again for new MV “Love Enchantment,” the theme song for the upocming eeMedia- Huayi fantasy idol film Magic to Win. The film stars actor Wu Zun with the singers’ new eeMedia shimei Karena Ng.   Girl group iMe and singer-actress Tan Lina also makes an appearance as a magical volleyball team lead by My Own Swordsman’s Yan Ni.

Best of all, the MV is by director Peng Youwei, who headed the Super Girls 2011 video and stage crew and filmed the Baby Sister MV.  Despite its simplicity, it makes Wei Chen and Hong Chen look so good  that you’ll wish the entire MV was just them.   Watch it in HD below from  fountainpark723 @YouTube.

Upcoming eeMedia-Huayi film features magic and a varied cast

August 30, 2011 | Posted in Movies, Tagged , , , , , , ,

eeMedia's iMe girl band will appear in "Happy Magic" as a volleyball team. Curiously, they've chosen to pose with a soccer ball.

Huayi and eeMedia team up in the upcoming film ”Happy Magic 开心魔法”. Wu Zun features in this fantasy comedy as the “earth” element sorceror, Ling Feng.  International girl band “iMe” makes a guest star appearance as a volleyball team. True to its name, “Happy Magic” will feature four more sorcerors in addition to the one played by Wu Zun. Louis Koo acts as the “wood” element sorceror, Bak-Ming Wong as the “water” element sorceror, Jacky Wu as the “fire” sorceror, and Tonny Jan as the “metal” sorceror.

The story tells of a girl who was landed with supernatural powers by chance, and whose life underwent enormous changes as a result. She becomes entangled with the magic world, and drawn into a conflict of good versus evil with the five elemental sorcerors. She will be played by the newcomer Karena Ng (Wu Xinrong), a seventeen year old model from Hong Kong. 

Pictures of Louis Koo and Tonny Jan have been released, they can be seen below the cut.

Chinese FilmStars at the Pusan and Tokyo Film Festivals and the Golden Rooster

China’s Film Stars are spread out all over Asia! I decided to do a quick photo post to locate all of them…first is Pusan, because not that  many Chinese people that went, and also it came first chronologically, so it’s easier to just get it out of the way.

The Message cast in Pusan: Alec Su, Huang Xiaoming, and Li Bingbing

Cast of Sophie's Revenge working the red carpet.

This is one of the two A-List film festivals in Asia, the other being Tokyo. Despite starting late (1993), organizers have been working hard to make this as prestigious as possible, a subjective measure, and it does seem to be a step up from last year with Danny Boyle heading the jury, and various other stars walking the red carpet. I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of these pictures already, sorry for the lateness! I’ll post on the SIFF again later.

Chinese Celebrities When They Were Young

I said I would do a special fun post in exchange for someone making my banner when site hit 10,000. Well, here it is as promised, although nobody ever made me a banner. :( This is still incomplete…I don’t have a few people in here, and I wanted to put an after pic of everyone, but I got way too tired of that so I only put some for some people I didn’t think people would know (like all the mainland guys apparently), but eventually I will update this and make it the most comprehensive Chinese celeb baby picture list ever.

Love or hate her, you’ve got to admit Liu Yifei was one of the most adorable children ever.

More of cute adorable children behind the cut. I think it’s really rare for Chinese people to do plastic surgery (as of now) so this won’t be one of those “spot the differences” posts. This took a lot of time and effort to put together, so PLEASE DO NOT COPY AND POST ANYWHERE ELSE, w/o permission.

Hunan TV will remake Hana Yori Dango/ Meteor Garden

Using the “Superboys”.

c93a39afef080ad47cd92a9fu3075p28t3d2235797f328dt20081104144624

I’ll update this post and this site with more details as I get them.

I was always wondering if mainland China would film its own Hana Yori Dango. If you follow mainland Chinese television, you quickly come to find that there are the state-wide CCTV productions, which like expensive big-budget series with casts that attended drama universities, etc and then there are the provincial productions like Hunan TV who don’t get quite as much money, but don’t have the restraints CCTV does, about providing moralistic drama with meaning, etc. If China were to have a large amount of meaningless idol dramas, they would come from these local, provincial level stations. So here we are, at the possibility of Hunan remaking Meteor Garden using their “Superboys” aka “Kuai Le Nan Sheng” (the Chinese American Idol-type series for those of you who don’t get my constant references to this).

Fahrenheit Supports Wu Zun's New Movie

October 7, 2008 | Posted in Hong Kong,Movies,Taiwan, Tagged , , ,

They were at the Taiwan premiere of the movie, and got to watch Wu Zun feed Charlene. Calvin, as you can see, may have realized his hair is simply not acceptable in public and has begun wearing a hat.

Also the article I found this from had a very interesting comment, paraphrased here: “Recently in Taiwan there’s been a trend relating stripping to good ratings, and all want to see Zun strip however Zun firmly stated that he will not strip, and does not wish to follow this trend.”

I’m sure Charlene would look a lot happier in this publicity still if you had actually meant that.
