crazy over JY.
LEEHOM WANG TO REPLACE JERRY YAN AND JAY CHOU AS PEPSI'S NEW ENDORSERAccording to the newest article from a magazine, Pepsi might replace ??? (Jerry Yan) and ??? (Jay Chou) with ??? (Leehom Wang) as their new endorser.After the embarassing incident that happened at the Golden Melody Awards in 2005, Leehom's popularity has been highly increasing. Last year he has grabbed the "Best Male Vocalist" award at the Golden Melody Awards, and throned as Music King for the second time. Oscar winning director ?? (Ang Lee) also gave Leehom a very important role as second male lead in the new film, ?? (Lust, Caution) that is due to release world-wide this October. According to a very new article in a magazine, Pepsi is attracted to Leehom's image and popularity and decides to use him to replace Jerry Yan and Jay Chou as one of Pepsi's more prominent endorsers.According to sources, Pepsi's current endorsers are ??? (Jolin Tsai), Jay Chou, Jerry Yan, ??? (Edison Chen), ??? (Louis Koo), ??? (Nicholas Tse), RAIN/BI, etc. Adding the salaries of the seven major stars, it exceeds $100,000,000 NT. Because of this the manufacturers are careful with their endorsers and are very strict with them. Lately there has been rumors saying that the manufacturers wanted to change endorsers, and they are Jerry Yan and Jay Chou.According to a source, both Jerry Yan and Jay Chou are extremely hard to handle, mainly because of their picky requirements and unbearable attitudes. A crew member pointed that earlier on in 2002 when Pepsi found F4 to endorse their drink, their individual salaries were about $2,500,000 NT. But since over the years F4's popularity has slightly dropped, they only had the choice to renew their contract with only Jerry Yan. However Jerry requested that the salary was to raise up to $3,500,000 NT, giving the manufacturers a pain in the neck. Aside, Jerry Yan also constantly complained about the costumes and script and would always request for a staff meeting discussing about endorsement changes, which had annoyed the manufacturers much.Jay Chou began endorsing for Pepsi since 2004. At first Jay Chou was expecting to be paired with ??? (Sammi Cheng), but he became disappointed when he found out that he would actually be working with Louis Koo, Edison Chen, and ??? (Vanness Wu). During filming hours Jay would pull a long and annoyed face. The manufacturers were slightly displeased with his subtly impolite attitude, but because of Jay's current elite status in the entertainment industry, they decided to renew the contract with him anyways.Over the last two years Leehom's popularity has increased in an alarming rate. Both his concerts in town and overseas has experienced exploding welcoming rates, breaking records. Adding on to being part of Ang Lee's new film, his status is pretty stable and strong. If Leehom was to endorse Pepsi, his salary will most definitely be higher than Jerry's, but will still be lower than Jay's. Pepsi's spokesperson, Fion, said that the contracts with Jerry and Jay are still going. When asked if Pepsi will add a new member to the endorsements, she said that it is not convenient to reveal at the moment.pls vote for Jerry http://vote. knowsky.com/ vote/ipage. asp?voteID= 1363言承旭 (Jerry) his name at number 7.Vanness Wu Live In Genting

Zaizai interview in the Japanese magazine TV Taro, published on Dec. 19, 2006'07 Asian Star Special InterviewVic ChouVic leads 2006 HuaLiu (It means Chinese Wave.) with releases of his personal DVD and solo photo book. His long-awaited Movie 'Hu Die Fei' is getting ready to be unveiled in 2007. It looks that he will attract even more attention.In 2006, Vic, a.k.a Zaizai, has been active in Japan with fan club events, a DVD, and a photo book. He plays an arrogant heir to a conglomerate in TV drama 'Silence,' in which he shows charisma never seen before.WeiYi is a role with depth. Please watch the changes in him"I consider WeiYi has great depth. Both his outward appearance and inside emotions have gone through drastic changes. At the beginning, people don't like him because of his arrogance, but actually he is kind inside. You will see the kind side of him in the second half of the drama. Please watch the changes in him."He met ShenShen by chance, a girl who couldn't talk. When they meet again, his dormant kind heart gradually comes back alive. ShenShen is played by Korean actress Park Eun Hye who became famous from 'A Jewel in Palace.'"She was very perceptive. She quickly understood what was required of her. For example, at the beginning of the drama, there is a scene in which I approach her pretending to kiss her forcibly. At the time of filming the scene, I wasn't familiar with her and was wondering how far I could go. But she immediately guessed what I wanted to do and took my acting very well. When acting opposite her, my acting looks very natural."===========Moreover, in order to understand how WeiYi would be suffered from liver cancer, he did research on the disease."It was about the scene in which my stomach aches and I have to suffer the pain from it. Some people pointed out that it was strange. They said, 'it is liver cancer, why do you press your stomach?' A doctor who was watching the drama said for me, 'His acting is correct. That's how the symptom is.' It looks that it is recognized that I understood the disease and acted accordingly. "He looks really glad about it when he says those words. It reveals how confident he is in being an actor. Now he is working hard at his first ever movie, 'Hu Die Fei.""TV dramas are played on small screens, so there are many close-ups. But movies are shown on big screens, any tiny movement of actors are clearly shown on the screens. So, I've to keep in mind that the acting requires the whole body."Has other F4 member, Vanness, who has more seniority in the movie field, offered some advices to you?"Vanness has shared his experiences with me. But he has been in action movies. He taught me explosion and wire works which are a little different from what I wanted to know (Laugh)."translated by laiou of vicpower Shake Hands With My IdolThe blog owner wrote that he was very high on Jan. 12, as that was the first day he returned back to work, and a lot of celebrities had dinner at where he works, including Cai Kang Yong, Zhang Xiao Yan, Luo Wen Jia, and most importantly, F4's Yan Cheng Xu.
