| Knowing that Jimmy, who's an expert in car racing skill has returned to Taiwan for the promotion of JSSJ, CTS weather newscaster, Lin Yi Yun immediately bounce into action, trying hard to invite Jimmy for a guest appearance during the weather forcast report, and even brought the reporting into the racing circuit, at the same time, requesting him to display his exciting racing stunts. CTS evening news has been receiving overwhelming viewership and to boost to an even higher figure, weather newscaster Lin Yi Yun invited Jimmy to join her in reporting the weather. For this event, Lin Yi Yun tried all she can and finally managed to find a slot in Jimmy's busy promotion schedule to fit in this event. At first, she was very proud about her success, but later, she found out that Jimmy agreed not because of her efforts but because of the idea of 'weather forecast on the race tracks' which made him nod his head. He even spent NT$4000 to move his car to the race track. Since she had boasted that she wants to race with Jimmy, definitely she has some confidence. Moreover, as she's active in sports, just practising a few times on the Go-kart, Jimmy had praised that she had the talent. But seeing Jimmy driving his race car on the tracks, she was filled with admiration and even decided to acknowledge Jimmy as her teacher and agreed to meet at the same place again next time to race. After both of them had a serious discussion, as Jimmy don't feel 'assured' of her racing skills, he decided to perform some thrilling racing stunts himself, and after that, report the weather forecast with her. When the film was running, perhaps Jimmy was too high, the stunts were out of the camera range and had to NG a few times before it was ok. His assistant watching at a corner was laughing continously at him. He was amused of Jimmy's serious expression when he was behind the wheels and immediately displaying his trademark smile once he got off from his car. While Jimmy reported the weather forcast, unexpectedly, he was able to report it like a professional and didn't even need any guidance. (23/1/2002) |
| It's announced that JSSJ would be officially presented on the screen on 21 Jan. It is a relaxing and comical love story, which is espec- ially suitable for students who are having their winter vacation. The cast in JSSJ almost make up the whole 'Xia Family', leading the show is Jimmy and Tae, who also became buddies after work- ing together. Jimmy and Tae who are both valued by manager, Xia Yu Shun are very fortunate in the show as girls were simply madly in love with them, which include Tian Xin, Li Xiao Lu, Vivi Ho, all crazily in love. Although the love relation- ship between them is just simple innocent love, it's enou- gh to make you feel moved. Who is 'CEO Lin', 'Boss Lin'? Don't feel puzzled, these are Jimmy's nickname given to him. Those celebrities who ever work with Jimmy would know, Jimmy always take great care of others so whenever Jimmy is around, there is sure to be benefits. 'Big Brother' Jimmy also won't let anyone feel bored when working as he would cheer every one up and his room even became a place of enjoyment for everyone. Jimmy said smilingly, "Everyone left home to work in Chi- na. Emotionally, it's already very tough, of course we can't continue torturing ourselves." Jimmy's room is like a ho- me theatre, moving all the best sound systems and pro- jector all the way from Taipei to Heng Dian. When free, the other colleagues would often go to his room and esp- ecially Tae is the closest to him. Though Tae is from a single-parent family, younger and looks more childish than Jimmy but he is very sensible in his thinking. When he started working, he would visit ev- ery colleague and treat them to chocolates to give them a good impression. Looking alike with Jimmy who is more elder than him, he is especially respectful. Everytime wh- en they're distributing meal boxes or snacks, he would immediately take them for Jimmy. Feeling Tae's warmth towards him, Jimmy can't help praising that Tae is very sensible and caring. Tae said with a smile, "Isn't there a phrase in Chinese 'Kong Rong Rang Li' (meaning the yo- unger sibling would always offer the best to the elder siblings)?" When filming in China, Jimmy often seems like a big bro- ther, other than having fun with Tae in his room with all the high-tech entertainments he brought, he would also bring Tae along to go sightseeing or go for meals. Althou- gh Tae is from Thailand, his Mandarin is improving treme- ndously and has no problems communicating with Jim- my. Also because Jimmy and Tae look so alike, everyone can't help joking and reminded Jimmy to ask his father when he return home, as Tae maybe his long-lost brother and this made Jimmy not knowing whether to laugh or cry. In this drama, both of them acted as twin brothers who were separated since young and the director had arran- ged heavy emotional scenes for them. Jimmy even gave his first onscreen kiss to lead actress, Li Xiao Lu who were loggerheads at first but later fell deeply in love with each other. Although it was arrange that because of an earthquake, both of them fell on one another, thus kissed for 10 seconds, this scene made Li Xiao Lu who had a bedroom filled with Jimmy's posters since young, espec- ially happy. But compared to Jimmy's, Tae and Tian Xin's kisses may spark jealousy among the Taiwanese guys. However, Xia Yu Shun emphasized that JSSJ is a young romantic film and the kissing scenes in the show are definitely decent. Promotions for the serial would be starting soon and Li Xiao Lu would be arriving in Taipei next week. She is very excited as this is her second trip to Taipei. The first time she came, she hadn't the chance to tour around the place. She is looking forward to her 2nd trip and went to ask Ji- mmy to tell her more about Taiwan. She said, "Jimmy told me of all the fun and beautiful places in Taiwan and especially the food there is great, like duck tongue, spicy hot pot, etc which sounds delicious. I heard there is a famous ice shop selling great mango ice, I mus t go and give them a try." The only thing she's unhappy about this trip to Taiwan is that Jimmy wouldn't be able to accom- pany her as he is still in China filming for QTDS. She said sulkily, "At first, Jimmy had promised to bring me around and try out the food, but he has broke his word. I will keep this debt in mind. The next time I see him, I will surely ask his to compensate by giving me a treat!" (4/1/2002) |

| Jimmy and Tae Happy Working In JSSJ |
| Regarded as the secr- ret weapon of CTS, it is decided that JSSJ be released during this winter vacation. Lately, CTS is prepa- paring the commercial preview and realised that younger brother, Tae seems to have more scenes than eld- er brother, Jimmy. Why is Jimmy's sce- nes lesser than Tae? It was rumoured that as Jimmy has many racing events, the dir- ector had no choice but to transfer his scenes to the other twin, Tae. But mana- ger, Xia Yu Shun said, "Actually, both of them had equal number of scenes, just that Jim- my's role is fast-paced as he's more playful, always flying here and there, while Tae is very passionate, hav- ing an undying love for Tian Xin, so the feel- ing on screen would stay longer. Strictly speaking, Jimmy's role is still heavier th- an Tae slightly more." |
| well-prepared and ev- en request to rehearse first before the real act. Their hardworking and serious attitude, made Xia Yu Shun felt mo-ved. Tae is very respectful of Jimmy and Jimmy too, looks after Tae well. The production gave Jimmy a person-al suite and the one who often frequent his room is Tae. When-ever they're free, they would coop themselv- es in the room, playing computer games, da- ncing machine, DV 8 and having fun with other high-tech stuffs. Gradually, they begin to understand each ot- her very well. (3/1/02) |
| During Jimmy's filming period, he received many invitations from many Chinese profes- sional racing teams and decided to join racing as a career. And maybe, 'JSSJ' would be his only ser- ial for this year. His future filming work would have to fit into his free days of his racing schedule. This pair of twins were brought together by Xia Yu Shun and Lai Shui Qing. Even thou- gh one is from Taiwan and the other is from Thailand, both of them look very identical. Acting as twins who were separated since young, it's the best choice ever. But after filming for a period of time, director Lai Shui Qing is able to differ- entiate them easily. He said that Tae is like an idol from a comic book, while Jimmy has the airs of a martial arts pugilist. Especial- ly everytime when film- ing, both of them come |

 |
| Jimmy gave his first onscreen kiss at 26 and the girl is a 'fan', Jacqueline Li Xiao Lu. When she knew ab- out the scene, it ma- de her happy and exc- ited that she couldn't fall asleep for days, she said smilingly, "When we have to do the scene, I was very nervous and very str- essful!" Moreover, un- expectedly, she was down with a serious flu at that time and wasn't able to conce- ntrate fully, and had to retake a few times. Asked how she felt, she replied awkward- ly, "My mind was a total blank!" Jimmy had started out for so many years, but only till 'JSSJ' then he decided to give away his first on- screen kiss which he had 'kept' for so long, to Jacqueline. Yesterday, Jacque- line and Tae had arri- ved in Taiwan and met the media to pro- mote the serial. |
| When Jacqueline was telling Tae about the process, she even felt embarrassed. She frankly said that Jimmy is her idol, "When he started out singing the song 'Rai- ny Season at 17', I was still in primary school and liked him very much after I got influenced by my good friend who is also a fan of his till now and I still know how to sing this song." She often deliberately annoy her good friend about this kissing scene which made her angry and jealous. It's said that even Jacqueline's wardrobe is filled with his photos. Since she likes Jimmy so much, does she has a special feeling towards him? She replied, "No la, I won't fall in love with my idol. Being friends can last forever but it's difficult for lovers. Now, we're only frie- nds. Sometimes, I even teased him, saying that I grew up with his songs since young." Being able to work with Jimmy in person, she said that it didn' t broke her fantasy, in fact she admired him all the more as Jimmy does- |
| n't have the arrogant airs of a superstar at all. Jimmy is very much older than Jacqueline and Tae, and took care of them when filming together. Jac- queline said, "When the food we got in the mealboxes isn't that nice, Jimmy would give me meat floss." Tae said with jea- lousy, "I've got meat floss too!" Actually, Jimmy is not just a big brother to them, he's also a fun lover with lots of id- eas. As the whole film is shot in China, when everyone has a free day off, Jimmy would bring Tae, Jac- queline, etc, forming a group of over 30 people, riding their electric skateboard, passing through the little town in Heng Di- an and the scene was spectacular!

| Tae's Kissing Skill Is Better Than Jimmy's |
| Both Jimmy and Tae have kissing scenes with Tian Xin and her comments about th- em is, "Although Tae is younger, he kisses better than Jimmy!" Asked how is the ki- ssing skills of these 2 handsome guys, Ti- an Xin who was Jim- my's junior in school, had done many wed- ding and kissing sce- nes, said that altho- ugh Jimmy has been in this line for so long, when comes to kiss- ing scenes, he be- came very shy. He seems more nervous and uneasy than any- one else and kept worrying. He even hoped that Tian Xin will help him as he's not experienced. She found it funny and ev- en teased him, "Don't worry, I will look after you." Jimmy laughed bitterly and said, "I know you are more experienced, I'll leave |
| it to you then." In the end, they manage to complete the scene after one retake. She said, "The scene with Jimmy is that our lips just touched accidentally and the feeling is like knock- ing into each other so it's not romantic at all. But with Tae, there were many types, like crying and kissing, holding hands kiss- ing." And for Tae, she said, "Although he's young but his skills is very mature." They only took this scene once and she was very surprised with him. Personally, Tian Xin get along better with Jimmy than Tae. Whenever she's free, she would go to Jim- my's room to listen to music or play his computer games. Moreover, Tian Xin mother's tofu soup is everyone's favourite. |
| Whereas Tae who loves Tian Xin whole- heartedly in the dra- ma, got along better with Li Xiao Lu, and they're able to chat about anything. Tian Xin also enjoys soaking herself in the bathtub and after be-ing influenced by fellow actress, Zhang Rui Zhu, she begin to pick up reading as well. Thus, after work, she would stay in her room reading and was even teased by Jimmy who called her 'caveman'. She said, "Jimmy li-kes crowd. His room was even given a name from his room number, called '509 pub'. His room has e-verything to eat, drink and play. His motto is, 'bu pa lei, lei bu pa, pa bu lei' (bu=not, pa= afraid, lei=tired) (11/1/2002) |

| Both Jimmy and Tae's First Kiss Given To Tian Xin |
| Tian Xin is not under Xia Yu Shun's management company but by just lead acting in 'JSSJ', she had taken away both Jimmy and Tae's first onscreen kiss which made the other actresses in Xia Family very envious. Two days ago, when Li Xiao Lu came to Taiwan, Xia Yu Shun had said that Jimmy's first onscreen kiss was given to her, but yesterday, he told Tian Xin that Jimmy's first onscreen was given to her instead. When everyone was trying to figure out who did Jimmy actually give his first onscreen kiss to, Xia Yu Shun continued, "Aiya... |
| Jimmy always won't do kissing scenes. The pre- vious time he shot this scene in BLD, I felt it wasn't actually necessary in the serial and decided to cut it. About Li Xiao Lu and Tian Xin sequence, I've went to ask the crew and it was confirm that Jimmy's first onscreen kiss was given to Tian Xin." After saying so long, sud- denly disclosed that Jimmy had done another kissing scene previously in BLD. But Xia Yu Shun said that they didn't really kiss but just adjusting the camera position, making it seems real. (11/1/2002) |

| Jimmy Tempting Tian Xin With Food, Causing Her Unable To Lose Weight |
| To Tian Xin, Jimmy is her 'Happy Fruit' (one who alwa- ys make people happy) when filming in Heng Dian and Xu Jing Jiang's age even created a big joke to all those involved in JSSJ. Tian Xin said smilingly, "This time filming in Heng Dian then do I get to see Jimmy's display of splen- dor for myself. Not just his room is fully facilitated, any- time he may even present all kinds of food to chall- enge my self-control in keeping fit. As he knows that I'm those types who cannot withstand the tempt- ations to eating anything placed in front of me, for this, I don't know whether to love him or hate him!" As she was 'complaining' about Jimmy, she contin- ued, "My god! In such an isolated and forested pla- ce like Heng Dian, he can even bring up a cup of hot Starbucks coffee, who wou- ldn't be amazed? He said his assistant brought it from Shanghai!" After talking about Jimmy as the 'master of food', she continued describing about his 'heavenly deeds', "This big brother can play with loud firecrackers in the middle of the night, making me opening my windows and scold loudly, forgetting all about my image. Asked for the reason, he said because I've completed all my acts for JSSJ. He didn't know that his firecrackers gave my mum a fright." After that, 2 days later, Tian Xin |
| was again awaken by the sound of Jimmy's fire- crackers. This time, he said, "I've completed my acts too!" The funny happenings wh- en filming JSSJ were not just these. As Hong Ko- nger, Xu Jing Jiang is a veteran actor, everyone respect him. But one day, playful Tae feeling the urge to play pranks, made up a rumour that he had acci- dentally seen his passport and found that he's over 60 years old and everyone even believed him, trying to find out how he still looks so young. Jimmy sent his assistant to peek at what he eats everyday. When he found out that what Xu Jing Jiang eats is similar with every- one, he became very su- spicious. Li Xiao Lu saw a scar on his head and thou- ght that he may had gone for plastic surgery. Even better, when they were filming late at night, dir- ector Lai Shui Qing was worried that he can't see in the dark and may trip and fall, where the conse- quence would be terrible. He even sent someone to see Xu Jing Jiang back to his room. When everyone were discussing about it, in the end, they realised th- at actually, Tae was behind all these and Xu Jing Jiang is only 40 over years old. The scar on his head was due to his injuries when he was filming in the past. (15/1/2002) |

| Jimmy and Li Xiao Lu, Really No Love Sparks |
| Chinese New Year. About senior, Jimmy, Li Xiao Lu doesn't deny that she admire him very much but ta-lking about relation-ships, it's only limited in the drama, "We act-ed as a pair of lovers and when filming, so as to build our chem-istry, inevitably, there are more chances to get along and the fe-elings tend to be mo-re deeper. But after filming, naturally, we will be detached from that scenario." Although Jimmy is ca-ring towards little jun- |

| Jimmy, Li Xiao Lu Acting As Lovers, Singing As A Couple |
| the ending theme song is Li Xiao Lu's 'Xiao Lu Luan Zhuang' (Heartbeating Fa-st). The deepest impressi-on they had in the serial was the kissing scene. As due to an earthquake, both of them accidentally kiss-ed. Thinking back about this, Li Xiao Lu pointed out that at that time, many peo-ple were surrounding th-em, moreover, their kiss is just a very light one so it's not at all awkward, in fact they can't help laughing and had to retake 2 or 3 times. This time back to Taiwan, Jimmy's time is very tight. 21st, he will have to head back to China to continue filming QTDS. He said, "It's tough working in Chi-na, therefore everytime, other than working, I'll be sleeping." Junior, Li Xiao Lu even hoped that one day, Senior can teach her car racing, and experience the thrill of speeding on a race track. (17/1/2002) |
| Both of them had finally met in Taipei but as the serial will be airing tomo-rrow night, Jimmy can't help breaking his promise due to the tight promot-ional schedule. There's no time to bring Li Xiao Lu to try the Taiwanese food, not to mention about bringing her around. After JSSJ had ended film-ing works, Jimmy had pro-mised to bring her around Taiwan when she comes for the promotions but un-expectedly, when she ca-me, Jimmy had to head for China to film QTDS. Yesterday, for this promo-tional events, Jimmy spec-ially applied a few days leave from QTDS to return back. Just after he reach Taipei, he had to head immediately for the image studio to get his image done, hoping to meet his fans with a new appear-ance. Therefore, so as to grab time, he agreed with Li Xiao Lu to meet in the image studio. Jimmy and Li Xiao Lu are a pair of lovers in the show, having heavy roles, even the sou-ndtrack in the serial are sung by them. The open-ing theme song is Jimmy's 'You Ni De Shi Jie' (The World With You Around); |
| Jimmy and Li Xiao Lu who acted as lovers in JSSJ, have finally met in Taipei yesterday. Rumours were sprea- ding that they seem to have some kind of feelings for eachother, but Jimmy said stra-ightforwardly, "Have means have, don't have means don't ha-ve! Right now, I really don't have a girlfriend." Li Xiao Lu reached Ta-iwan 2 nights ago after she returned ba-ck to China to visit her father who fell ill, yes-terday evening, she had joined Jimmy who rushed back to Taipei for the promot-ional events. He's cur-rently filming for QTDS in China and worked day and night. The fil-ming was divided into 3 groups and they also use 3 cameras and OB car to film the scenes. Hoping that the filmings will be completed before the |
| ior, Li Xiao Lu, bring- ing up about them being together, Jimmy said without hesitat-ion, "My love life now is really empty. As a man, only think about marriage at 30, I'm more concern about my career. About rel-ationship, wait until I meet a suitable one." Jimmy started rushing for the scheduled ev-ents right after getting off his flight. He even became the chauffeur, driving Li Xiao Lu and their assistants rush-ing for their promot-ional events. There was a jam in the eve-ing but from An-Ho Road, he manage to reach Nan Gang with-in 15 minutes. This is the first time Li Xiao Lu experience the way Jimmy drives. Though her face was as white as sheet, she excla-imed, "Very thrillling! Great!" (17/1/2002) |

| CTS Newest E-Generation Sword Fighting Serial JSSJ |
| JSSJ is filled with cool special effects and im- ages, and it all thanks to director, Lai Shui Qing. Presenting the real effects in front of the audiences' eyes, is also his first try. He hopes that it will bring up another trend in pe- riod dramas. During the press con- ference, everyone was most interested about the rumours of Jimmy and Li Xiao Lu. Jimmy said, "Everytime, when there's a new show releasing, there will be rumours about the male and female lead, for the sake of promot- ion, it's ok, I'm already used to it but I think this is really old- fashioned! Why not spread a rumour that Lawrence Ng and I are together! I hope every one will really like the show and not by using such rumours to attr- act viewers." He expressed that tho- ugh he minds about the feelings of love at first sight, he also val- ues the feelings of two person being to- gether. Therefore as he's always busy with work, he really has no time to go dating and fall in love. He also frankly said that perhaps as he grows older with age, his current attitude of responsibility towards relationship has grad- ually shifted towards marriage and not just simply falling in love, thus he would not be moved too easily. But he emphasised that matters of the |
| heart is unpredictable. Other than hoping for his Miss Right to app- ar, he feels that it's also not impossible that old flame can be- come lovers again. But when Ruby Lin was mentioned, he replied, "We'll wish ea- ch other during festive seasons,we've always been good friends." Jimmy also talked ab- out his first onscreen kiss. "In the show, I accidentally fell and just touched Tian Xin's lips. (How's the feel- ing?) How's the feel- ing? It was good, ha ha. It's not those heated kissing scene, it can be said to be an accidental one." He continued, "Before wh- en filming kissing scenes, it's all made use of the camera positioning. Moreover now, my fans are able to accept me filming kissing scenes." About being able to act with her idol, Li Xiao Lu said, "Really very happy, and really cherish this opportun- |
| ity." Jimmy who was beside her listening said, "Xiao Lu is a very adorable little girl. She is serious in her working attitude and when acting with her, the feeling was really good. Hope there'll be more opportunities to work again." This time, both of th- em are singing for the opening and ending theme song for JSSJ. Li Xiao Lu's vocals is like a little girl singing but it sounds very soo- thing. Li Xiao Lu expressed that although she was nervous when record- ing the song, she had put in lots of efforts in it. Everyone also asked if she will release a personal album and she replied, "Of cou- rse I hope to be given the chance to release one. But I'm not sure if there is a record label willing to accept me." Inevitably, everyone also asked Jimmy who had released many albums before for his personal opin- ion. Being an experie- nced singer, he said, "From her perform- ance and current pop- ularity, definitely she'll be able to release a music album. As long as she continue impr- oving on her vocals slightly more, the days to releasing an album should be soon." If Li Xiao Lu is willing, Jimmy doesn't mind singing duets with her, since they already have such great chem- istry. (18/1/2002) |

| JSSJ Enjoying In A Spa |
 |
 |
| Yesterday afternoon, Jim- my brought Li Xiao Lu, Vivi Ho and Tae to enjoy in a spa. But instead, they pull- ed him to do ear aroma- therapy, which made Jim- my very fearful and afraid that they would take this opportunity to seek 're- venge'. Yesterday, since they were free from any events in the afternoon, they went to a spa to relieve their stress. Originally, it was thought that Jimmy was the one who suggested bringing Li Xiao Lu to experience spa in Taiwan, instead among everyone there, Jimmy was the only one who haven't tried it before. All of them with a cup of lavender tea in their hands, were enjoy- ing the pleasure of soak- ing their legs in the wood- en buckets of water filled with rose petals. They also tried other aromatherapy treatments. Jimmy was grabbed by the 3 of them to do aroma- therapy for the ear, but se- eing their rough actions, he could only plead for mercy, for fear that once they're not cautious, an accident would end with a lifelong regret. Li Xiao Lu said, "Seeing Jimmy so |
| nervous, actually I'm even more nervous!" After that, Vivi Ho and her tried it as well and found the effects quite good. Lawrence Ng became good friends with Jimmy after working together in JSSJ and specially came to Tai- wan from Hong Kong to take part in the promotional activities. However, he was- n't influenced by Jimmy to enjoy the thrill of car racing. He said, "I can't, I'm already too old for that." As he had sprained his waist and ank- le when filming for a movie in Hong Kong, he didn't join them with all the fun and just sat comfortably at a corner, enjoying his warm cup of coffee.

| Jimmy As Civil Defence Ambassador |
| Lately busy filming for CTS 'JSSJ', Jimmy did- n't forget about comm- unity events too. Yesterday morning, so as to commemorate 119 Civil Defence Day, Jimmy put on the Civil Defence uniform, bea- ring the heavy respon- sibility of a Civil Defen- ce ambassador for the third year and was joined by Taipei Mayor, Ma Ying Jiu. In yesterday's event, when Jimmy appear- ed, immediately he was welcomed by chi- ldren who surrounded him excitedly. His gla- mour doesn't lose out to political star, Mayor Ma. Seeing that Jimmy specially attended this event even though he is busy with the cur- rent promotion for JSSJ, Mayor Ma was very touched and told Jimmy with concern, "You must be very |
| tired lately, having to specially rush back to Taiwan to promote for your new serial and taking part in commu- nity activities." Other than bringing the children into a smoked room during a mock fire exercise to learn about the ways to escape during an emergency, and how to put out the fire with a water jet, Jimmy also went up on the highest extension plat- form in Taiwan which is able to raise up to 70m. However, the great height does not deter |
| him from backing out. He said, "Perhaps I'm used to the usual thrill in car racing, so what- ever that is new and thrilling, I'm not afraid to try. Most importantly, I have this respon- sibility to personally experience and guide the public the correct idea of fire prevention." (20/1/2002) |

| JSSJ Meet The Fans |
| So as to satisfy the audience who wanted to meet their favourite artistes, JSSJ had specially arranged many activities. Other than the debut on the 18th, the same night at 10.30pm in Jing Hua Cheng Base- ment 3, a premiere of the 2nd episode was shown to the live audience. On 19th afternoon, JSSJ spec- ially headed to Ban Qiao Yuan Dong shopping mall for the artistes and fans to meet face to face. The |
| main cast was there in these activities to meet the fans and giving out autograph- ed posters. Two nights ago, JSSJ premiere activities started at 10.30pm in Jing Hua Cheng but before 10pm, the lifts going down to B3 were filled with queu- ing crowds wanted to meet the cast. So as to maintain order, more than 10 security guards were called for. However, once the stars appear, never-ending screams and |
| cheers were heard. Obviously, most of the fans were there for the 2 lead actors, Jim- my and Tae and there was fierce competition between the 2 grou- ps of fans cheering loudly for th- eir respective idols. And sad to say, the other cast members were neglected since most of the focus goes to the two of them. (20/1/2002) |

| Lately, because of JSSJ, Tae came to Taiwan to conduct the promotion. Xia Yu Sh- un repeatedly speak up for him, and pra- ised him. It's said that this is to bring Tae 'on par' with Jimmy. After Jimmy was told about this, he said smilingly, "From the time and experience I had wor- king in this line, it's impossible for me to feel jealous about Tae." Xia Yu Shun said with a laugh, " Of course I dote on Jim- my most. He's my trump card among the other celebrities un- der me, my highest paid money tree." Xia Yu Shun said that they have worked to- gether for 3 years and had renewed another 3 years contract, a total of 6 years. They understand eachother |
| well without even say- ing it out. "Saying that Jimmy became ungr- ateful after he be- came successful and I'm angry with him, these are just others spouting nonsense. See, he said he wa- nts to become a car racer, I was against it at first but now, I've agreed to it. This isn't done without good communication. Our Jimmy, his acting fees are really high. He's paid HK$60,000 for one episode of Yang Deng Kui's 'QTDS'. For other fi- lms, it's even higher. How could I not dote on him?" Xia Yu Shun added, "In my opinion, I love both Jimmy and Tae. They're just like the flesh on the front and back of my hands." (22/1/2002) |

| Embraced In Jimmy's Arms, Vivi Ho Filled With Shyness |
| Working with Jimmy for the second time, her secret admiration for her idol doesn't get lesser. In JSSJ, there was a scene where she died in Jimmy's embrace. Because being held in his arms, she act- ually blushed with total shyness, heart beating fast and her body became so stiff. Seeing that Vivi has completely lost cont- rol of her emotions, the cameraman could only shout cut! And everyone were having a great laughing time. Since Vivi was a stu- dent, she had been |
| a fan of Jimmy, thus being able to work with him twice, it made her especially excited. Just that, this time she'll have to die in Jimmy's embrace. This scene was too intimate and made her extremely shy. (29/1/2002) |

| Recently, 'Twins' Gillian and Charlene started work for QTDS in Heng Dian. When they reported for wo- rk, the first scene is a day- dreaming scene of Fairy Zi Lan played by Gillian who is secretly in love with Ne Zha played by Jimmy but doesn't have the cou- rage to express her feel- ings for him. Therefore she could only daydream about being together with him, holding hands enjoying the sweetness of love and ev- en being kissed on the forehead. Of course, the scene in the dream have to be shot. When Gillian was suppose embrace him, the director actually intended to use |
| camera positioning to ma- ke the embrace look real but perhaps Gillian was too absorbed in her role that she actually leaned her body against Jimmy and the director immed- iately shouted cut to wake her up, which made her embarassed and even te- ased by others. Asked if both Jimmy and Gillian felt awkward to film these intimate scenes, they didn't feel so as they had hit off very well. Gillian even expressed that Jim- my is very nice, very fun and humourous. However, in the scene she had to wake from her daydream in the 'cruel' way as she had to hit her head on a |
| pole. The director wa- sn't satisfied with her as he felt that she didn't hit hard enough. In the end, the crew workers had to put their palms against the pole then is she willing to hit her head hard. (31/1/2002) |
