Promo of City Of Sky

The rumor that Rainie Yang and Ken Zhu are a couple have been circulating since a really long time. Rainie at her new drama "天空之城" reporter meeting admitted: "I'm not his type of dish, he likes mature and beautiful type of girls."

Rainie and Ken have worked together since "Meteor Garden", and "天空之城" is their second time working together. Rainie has been rumored with every co-star she's worked with, but Ken's the only one she actually became "brother-sisters" with. Actually, when Ken first saw Rainie on set of "Meteor Garden", he immediately asked her: "Can I just call you "Little Sister", and not Rainie?" Then, Rainie thought it was a bit weird, so she denied him saying: "That's not very good, it's a bit weird."

Later, when they were filming in Yuen Nan, even though she couldn't attract Ken's attention, there were rumors that Ken was with female lead Li Bing Bing. On the 20th, Rainie expressed: "Because she only likes mature and beautiful women, and I like athletic type boys. The only sport he does is Tai Chi, so my entire life, we won't be couples."

Rainie said when they were filming, paparazzi suddenly came on set one day. Because of that the producer halted days for filming that day. Because it was postponed one day, Rainie thought it was a bit sad, and she was crying during the live act. Ken saw and immediately jumped out to yell: "How can you treat my little sister like this!" causing Rainie to be super moved and okay with calling each other brothers and sisters.

Promo of City Of Sky

Yesterday Ken Zhu was in Xin Jiang but he was “voice present” at the Dong Sen station for the preview of “City of Sky,” but he avoided talking about the filming he was doing at “The Legend of Chu Liu Xiang” and his father who just passed away. When Rainie Yang said that during the filming she was tortured and cried a lot, he jumped out and said: “How can they bully my sister?”

Avoided talking about his father who passed away.

Presently Ken Zhu is in a hurry to film “Chu Liu Xiang” he is unable to return to Taiwan for the promotion of “City of Sky,” he can only be reached through the telephone and the link up between his sister in the drama Rainie Yang. Ken Zhu will hold the ceremony to say his last respects to his father at the end of this month but he didn’t reveal when he will return to Taiwan for his dad’s funeral. When he was asked how his mood was affected when he received the news of his father’s death, during the overseas call he just said: “It doesn’t really affect his, it’s better to focus all his energy on work.”

During the filming, Ken Zhu and his female lead Li Bing Bing had a love relationship, is it just because of acting ah Qing Sao’s (Angie) initiation the emcee bluntly asked producer Chai Zhi Ping if the “Tian Bing Lian” is true or a fake one? Then he cracked a joke again and said its Yu Tian and Bai Bing Bing but afterwards he asked again if it is Yi (he first said Li Ming Yi, but was actually referring to Ma Yi) Chai Zhi Ping played like an innocent fool.

Yesterday, Rainie Yang talked about her relationship with Ken, they started calling each other brother and sister during “Meteor Garden.” She said: “When I was filming “City of Sky” I was experiencing some trouble,” he told the staff, “How can you bully my sister?” She has continuously said Ken is truly too Shuai.

'Trial' WWII pic to open in China

Newbie helmer Gao Qunshu's "Tokyo Trial," described as Asia's answer to "Judgment at Nuremberg," will hit movie theaters across China early next month -- three months late.
Pic focuses on the trial of Japanese war criminals at the end of World War II and was set to bow in May to mark the anniversary of the trials. It was then bumped to Aug. 15 -- the anniversary of Japan's surrender.

Starring Hong Kong vets Kenneth Tsang and Damian Lau, mainland comedy thesp Ying Da and Taiwan's Ken Zhu, pic will show at six chains.

It is sure to generate interest in China, where there is a widespread feeling that Japan has not done enough to atone for its war guilt. There is still tension between the two countries over Japanese leaders' visits to the Yasukuni Shrine, where war criminals are remembered alongside the fallen.

Gao, who has signed to CAA's China division, told a news conference he had gone into debt to finish $3.75 million pic.

Money problems are thought to have been the reason for the delay in the pic's opening.

Previously known as either "International Military Tribunal Far East" or "Judgment in Tokyo," it took the jury prize at the Shanghai Film Festival's Asian New Talent competition in June.

Zhu Xiao Tian’s words that touched the director.
Tokyo Trials opening on September 1, 2006.

Xin Wen Midday Report/Guang Zhou Daily Paper
August 9, 2006

Tokyo Trials’ Director Gao Qun Shu agreed to a special interview and has this to say: “Because the investors weren’t able to come up with the money, the production group was in a crisis and it was on the verge of being dissolved, but he was able to come up with 5 million of borrowed money so that they could continue on filming. “During that time we would film on sheds, outside that shed were creditors waiting to collect the money, many of the staff were worried too. I was unable to give them any salary; all day long they would press me about problems. When Zhu Xiao Tian learned about this, he was the first one who came up to console me and said: “Director, I know the money is gone already and you have to come up with the money, what else can we say?” I was deeply moved. Even though others say that Zhu Xiao Tian plays big shot, during that time of Tokyo Trials he was the one with the most professional attitude."

Afterwards, at the Tian An Men Square press conference, Zhu Xiao Tian said: “I know of the directors hardships. He had a very difficult time." Director Gao Qun Shu was closed to tears, he told the reporters, the production and the actors all offered their help, but he gave the greatest assistance, on the last day of filming almost all the contracts expired already but no actor asked me about money matters. In addition to that Zhu Xiao Tian displayed the best attitude among all the actors, before I was worried about ‘idols’ not being able to endure hardships. One day, I saw him very exhausted. I just saw him lie down and sleep on the ground where we were filming. At that time, my perception on ‘idols’ completely changed.

The Hospital Drama Supervisor Yu Xiao Hui fished out money from their own pockets to allot 8 to 9 Japanese translators and Jerry also alloted time to practice Japanese in order to thank the Japanese fans.

While his weight has not decreased, he is different from the easy and plump look he used to have 2 years ago in Yunnan when he was filming "City of Sky". Eating steamed rolls daily, staff had suspected that Ken grew fat that time probably because of too much eating of steamed rolls.

Zhu Xiao Tian films Chu Liu Xiang

When ZXT films CLX it isn’t the height of summer, it’s just that injuries from falls are unceasing. While filming in Xin Jiang it’s really hot, in Yunnan for “Tian Kong Zhi Cheng” he was injured again. During an escape scene, the frail and small Li Bing Bing fell because the soil was slippery.

Zhu Xiao Tian blocked the bullet that was aimed at LBB, he was hit in the pit of his stomach, Li Bing Bing had to carry him so that they could escape, and because her physical strength couldn’t support him they fell and slipped these two people became covered with mud. Li Bing Bing couldn’t help but say: “You should lose weight!” Zhu laughed non-stop.

A few days ago, ZXT handled the burial of father, from Taiwan he flew back to Xin Jiang and worked in the set of CLX. The weather in that place is extremely hot; sand blown by the wind is very strong. Zhu Xiao Tian would often have sand enter his eyes and this would cause him to NG. Zhu Xiao Tian can not help but say: “Filming at Xin Jiang is very hard, Yunnan filming is agonizing, I have experienced a lot of hardships in these two places, coming down here I shouldn’t have any more troubles ba!

Going to mainland to film in ancient robes, acting is wooden.

For Taiwan idols to earn more money they’re entering Mainland China; they’re all well known; as a whole their expression is not good. Zhu Xiao Tian got the part of “Chu Liu Xiang,” he hasn’t even started filming a lot of people have said he is a fat XiangShuai. These idol drama have handsome stars, they advance to the mainland cause they have the expertise to do ancient costume dramas. Becoming good is not easy, establishing yourself only as an idol will make you fade fast.

Shanghai Qiang Television manager Ren Shi Zheng stated it clearly: “Taiwan Idols are not popular in the mainland.” He cites Mike He who plays the lead in “Let’s get married!” China has seen this drama. But no one is willing to buy it. On the other hand, Taiwan idols in China don’t necessarily guarantee box office success, because Taiwan Idol drama rhythm is rather slow, adding to these is that producers do their work in a rough and slip shod way and it ruins the market.

Ren Shi Zheng thinks of testing the box office and drawing power of Taiwan idols, F4 was popular in China, their packaging was successful and they had “star” glamour, but in recent years China has also produced their own young idols like Huang Shao Ming etc. they have already outstripped the attractiveness of Taiwan idols.

Senior drama producer Ruan Qian Zhi said: “Taiwan idols who stay in China, no matter how fashionably packaged they are or use ancient costumes to dress up, the next test is if they are willing to do “hard work.” Ruan Qian Zhi said presently not many think of Taiwan idols for ancient dramas. She explains: “If idols are natural they can come up with a show but what if you don’t know how to do the movements of an ancient drama? Then that idol will have a hard time.

In the early stages of the idol scene in Taiwan it had Wu Qi Long, Su You Peng, these actors emerged in China via ancient dramas. Ruan Qian Zhi indicated: “Aside from the life-span of an idol, you need to gauge the skill of the artist.”

Producer Lin Cai Xiang hit the nail on the mark when she commented about Zhu Xiao Tian getting the role of Chu Liu Xiang: “When he got the part he really worked very hard. How can he compare with the experiences of Huang Shao Ming, Lu Yi? If he can’t come close, he can only do the likes of Meteor Garden, there is no leeway.

In order to have a positive outlook, Lin Cai Xiang thinks that the Taiwan market is small, only those with real talent can take the challenge of developing outside. She cited ZXT as an example: “How many Taiwan idols can go through this hardships? Only a few of them can be persuaded to leave Taiwan. Otherwise there really isn’t any path for them to take.

Zhu Xiao Tian has an ugly appearance, bad temper. Production group cries out unfair and transfers the blame.

Zhu Xiao Tian: Whom did I offend?

Li Bao Tian is a drama tyrant? Is Zhu Xiao Tian also one? TV drama Chu Liu Xiang’s former director Ju Jue Liang has repeatedly said that Zhu Xiao Tian has always been ugly, how can he even be the lead actor when he is ugly.

The rumor regarding Chu Liu Xiang director Ju Jue Liang walking out hasn’t stopped. Then soon after this reporter went to Xin Jiang for a site visit, director JJL is nowhere to be found. But the reason for his departure is still ambiguous; the production group all have different answers to the incident. This time, this reporter asked manager Zhi Xiang Li and the production group for answers.

Ju Jue Liang: I saw him lose his temper.

Ju Jue Liang (director of the 1983 film, “She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan”) was not satisfied with Zhu Xiao Tian, stopped in the middle of filming and left; this has been the news for about one month already. At that time he told the media it was a “temporary leave” but when he arrived in Taiwan he admitted that he already left the CLX production group. In front of the media JJL has repeatedly said ZXT is “disgusting” to be with. He said, “ZXT is lacking in manners. From the beginning we don’t agree on many things, he suddenly gets angry and threw the teacup.” He also criticized ZXT appearance as being ugly, “he is too ugly” it impossible for him to ever be handsome in the film.

Although JJL is not in the production group anymore, he remains to have some sincere advice for ZXT, he said, “When a person wants to finish something its important for him think about how will able to accomplish it, being irritated is of no use.” After he left the production group, he found out that ZXT’s papa was confined to the intensive care, “having this kind of situation, he can understand, but not everyone knew what happened to him, what we know is he just lost his temper, this can influence the morale of the entire staff, which shouldn’t be the case.”

Zhu Xiao Tian: What did he say? I don’t know anything about it.

Yesterday, this reporter called manager Zhi Xiang Li, he sighed and said: “First he threw the script, next he threw the teacup, rumors have been increasing, it seems XT is capable of throwing everything all at once. He said: Right now, XT thinks, "I don’t care whatever the world says about me. Even if one day JJL says these things in my face I will not answer back at him. I will simply accept it.”

Even though ZXT’s manner is calm, manager ZXL can’t help but protest about this injustice, “Actually everyone knows that changing directors is a production matter, XT is an actor, does he have the capacity to drive someone away? He didn’t even work with him for more than 5 days, how could you have this kind of arguments in just 5 days? He suspects someone is using ZXT as an escape goat. If this is the case, we won’t be able to tolerate that.”

Production Group: JJL is dying to save his face.

CLX investor Canton Qiang Shi Movie and Television Company person in charge said: “The news on ZXT is absolutely not true. What actually happened is: “Actually, you all saw the situation last month at Xin Jiang, ZXT is very attentive to what the director says, he will just do what is required of him. When we just started filming, ZXT mood was really affected, during that time his father’s condition was in danger. His mood that time was just natural for people. Everyone understood him. Right now he has already adjusted.”

Since it isn’t ZXT who “forced” the director to leave, what actually caused LLJ to resign? The person in charge was vague in his explanation. He said: “It’s because the ideas of JJL and the production group don’t agree.” This reporter tried to find out the real reason from the production group, and got a clearer answer to the question. This person isn’t willing to reveal his identity. Actually, JJL was fired, because Qiang Shi TV boss You Jian Ming and JJL don’t agree on how to go about with the script. He wants to stick to the original script but YJM wants to change it and no one wants to give in. There aren’t many people who know about this “firing” thing. In order for JJL to save face, he placed the fault on ZXT.

F3 absent, Tao Zi and Yang Cheng Lin send flowers.

F3 was absent at the farewell rites of ZXT’s papa Zhu Yue Ming. ZXT complied to the last wish of his father, which is to have low-key and simple funeral rites. He didn’t distribute any obituary notice to his friends in the entertainment industry, there was no one from the entertainment industry who went, only Tao Zi and Yang Cheng Lin sent flower baskets, F4 didn’t send, their assistants were the ones who sent “dianyi” condolences.

Yesterday, Manager Zhi Xiang Li said: “Originally ZXT didn’t want outsiders to know that his father passed away, as F3 not arriving, according to his understanding, Zhou Yu Min has filming of “Delicious Relations,” Wu Jian Hao is in Hong Kong, Yan Cheng Xu has some private things to take care of. ZXT doesn’t want to tire people because of his private family matters.”

However, even if they have exhausted all measures for a low-key funeral, almost all the company’s staff was utilized. They stood at the entrance to stop the media from taking pictures. So that the media will not influence his mood; reporters were not allowed to be inside 10 meters of the area. It is obvious that his management company is very thoughtful.
