Vanness takes the lead and teasingly said: You can compare the 4 of us to be like companions. Jerry: then after finishing the four of them gave a big haha to indicate their agreement to the statement.

F4 is hot all-over Asia, but the 4 of them pay the price of popularity and the loss of personal freedom. Vanness candidly said: “Every artist wants to have his image to be clean, and wants to take particular attention to every act but we are all normal. We can only do work to the best of our ability to give the our best, really seeking to belong to this path.” After F4 made a name, they have practically lost their private life. They indicated: “This is our work so we must pay the price.” But in this loss they have the fan’s support and this is the source of their unwavering motivation to strive even harder.”

Renaming of Tokyo Trials Invites Trouble.

Lin Hsilei, Zhu Hsiaot'ien, Zeng Chihwei and so on acted the leading role "the Tokyo War Trials" movie, and investment has surpassed 30 million yuan. The movie is set to be released this summer throughout the whole of China. However, the original author of the movie Tang Haoch'uen announced in his bulletin that the movie' original name is Far East International Big Trial and without his authorization has changed the name of the movie, now he wants to sue the movie producers. In his announcement, he said that he is the movie's real-life literature author. In the end of 2003, he has signed this movie rights and transferred contract with the Jiujiang film and television company. In the beginning of 2004, the National Broadcast office has applied the production movie permit for this film, but later the production side has changed the name without his knowledge and has violated the contents of the contract.

Tokyo Trials director and incumbent producer Gao Qun Shu said, "I am now the director of the movie. When I took over the movie the title was really "Fareast International Big Trial" but no one has told me from the production side that I can't change the title of the movie. As for the reason of changing the name of the movie the production side thinks that this name is more commercial and having this name is more advantageous for its promotions.

Is this the reason Tokyo Trials is postponed, Gao disclosed that the May screening is too hasty/ or all of a sudden but also during the editing process, the movie bureau requested them to revise the content which led to the adding of some other content which is substantial to the movie
