| Jimmy and Alec had worked together in 'Jue Dai Shuang Jiao' two years ago and had became good 'brothers'. This year, Jimmy and Tae each leading in JSSJ, and Alec willingly help out for Jimmy's friendship without hesi- tation. Currently, JSSJ which is still filming in Heng Dian, these few days had added important scenes guest starring Alec Su. When Alec reported to the filming group, seeing him, Jimmy and Tae were very overjoyed, just like fooling around in a class gathering. Especially 'hyperactive' Jimmy is most happy, and brought Alec touring around, enjoying themselves. After seeing good friend, Jimmy again after so long, Alec said with a smile, "Jimmy is still the same, still as energetic. When I was acting along with him, he was still ok, didn't fool around much. But it will not be so for Tian Xin and Li Xiao Lu. They often had to retake be- cause of his jokes and funny expressions." (24/12/2001) |

| 'Ne Zha' Jimmy Lin and 'Sun Wu Kong' Dicky Ch- eung are going to fight each other. Both are wo- rking together in CTV's 8pm slot drama 'Qi Tian Da Sheng'. In the drama, both of them turn from enemies to friends. Jimmy said laughingly, "Dicky and I had known each other 10 years ago. That time, my first movie 'To Miss With Love' was shot with him. Never ex- pected that 10 years la- ter, we still have the cha- nce to act in a drama serial together." Just completed Hua Shi's 8pm slot serial 'Jue Shi Shuang Jiao', Jimmy will have to im- mediately concentrate on CTV's 'QTDS' and portraying the mische- vious but highly skilled in magical powers lege- ndary character, Ne Zha. Jimmy said, "Actually Dicky and I started kno- wing each other when both of us worked in 'To Miss With Love' in Hong Kong, also he had sang the cantonese version of my song 'Not Every Love Song Has Beauti- ful Memories', and met |
| each other during some events. This time work- ing together again, we are enemies in the dra- ma at first, but later be- came good friends. Th- ere's many coincide- nces with real life." Previously, Jimmy was filming for 'JSSJ' in Zhe Jiang, Heng Dian. This drama was filmed from early summer till the end of autumn. Jimmy described that it was like working in a sauna. At first, he was always perspiring profusely. Everyday working under the hot sun, he almost suffered from heat str- oke. When the filming work was coming to an end, it had become so cold that he had to put on thick and heavy army coat to keep warm. It was freezing that he kept shivering. At the film set in person, Jimmy is modest and polite and doesn't carry any airs around him. This even gained prai- ses from the back- ground actors and they disclosed to the news- papers and websites that he is the most |

| The annual Formosa Race was held in Long Tan, Tao Yuan. Among those, Jimmy whom haven't been seen for quite some time was also there to compete. Although he didn't ma- nage to win a position, his team girls in his racing team were the most popular in the whole circuit. The loud roar of the engines, tightly pining the attention of the spe- ectators. After the wave of the flag, each car one by one accelerated out, marking the start of the race. On the circuit, there's one car which had spent over 2 million dollars, having |
| 320 horse power, was non other than Jimmy's participating tool, his M3 sports car. Jimmy who haven't be- en seen for so long has always been pro- moting the sport in Tai- wan.

| Jimmy, Becoming A High Salary Car Racer |
| Seeing car racing as his second life; next year, Jimmy will be the first paid professional car racer in Taiwan! Vaguely bypassing the amount of his 'million annual pay', Jimmy ga- ve another example in a different view, "Partici- pating in one race, equ- als to the amount I'm paid acting in a few episodes in a series." Promoted to a high sal- ary professional racer, what makes Jimmy mo- st excited is the Macau race. "Next year, I will take part in 20 races, including in Korea, Phil- ippines, Malaysia, Ma- cau, Taiwan and China. Macau would be my first time. All car racers |
| know that the racing ground and threshold in Macau is very diffi- cult, just like singers hoping to hold their concert in Hong Kong Coliseum." "To me, I will equally concentrate on my entertainment career and racing career." Talking about car racing, his excitement is greater than accep- ting good shows. "Able to be appointed as a paid car racer, this is an honour to me, and also an enc- ouragement for the Taiwanese racing sc- ene. The racing environ- ment in Taiwan is not developed and haven't |
| been recognised. Many business suppliers come to me because I'm a celebrity, but if I don't do well in racing, they also won't dare to invest large amount of money to sponsor me." Yesterday, Jimmy spe- cially rushed back to take part in the race from Heng Dian in Zhe Jiang. After that, he will have to rush back to Heng Dian to continue 'QTDS' (31/12/2001) |

| Jimmy Is A 'Rejected Customer' By Insurance Companies |
| One year taking part in more than 13 races, Jimmy is actually a 'rejected customer' by many insurance com- panies? Yesterday, he specially came back from Heng Dian to Tao Yuan to take part in the Formo- sa Race. He disclosed that next March, he wou- ld be a paid racer, with salary of more than hundred millions of do- llars. But he had appro- ached many insurance companies, and there is not one willing to insure him. Jimmy expressed, "Ne- vermind, I'm not afraid! Now, my racing pay is almost on par with my showbiz pay. Every year I deposit at least 2 eight digits amounts." He said that last year, he had shot 10 comm- ercials in China, includ- ing sports items, sha- mpoo, sun-block lotion, |
| track shoes, food, etc. In addition, TV series like 'Hua Yang Nian Hua', 'QTDS' and 'JSSJ'. One episode would bring him about HK$200,000. He said, "China's petrol and car suppliers offered a high amount inviting me to be a career car racer, paying me in every race I take part in. I've arranged for 20 races." No wonder there hasn't been a rumour about Jimmy for a long time. He had been busy with his Anti-drug ambass- ador, filming and car racing, often had to fly around. His 'love' is now his high-tech it- ems. Everyday accom- panying him to sleep is his digital camera, vid- eo camera, computer and advanced mini computer camera. (31/12/2001) |
