| Jimmy Is Back From America |
| Recently, Jimmy happily returned to Taiwan with the honourable plaque presented to him by OND CP. Other than preparing for the filming of 'Jue Shi Shuang Jiao' (sequel), he is also busy arranging for Won Bin to come to Taiwan, hoping to fulfill the promise he had made to Won Bin's fans that they will see him in person this summer vac- ation. After completing the pro- motional tour for the Anti- drug campaign and 10 over days of holiday in US, a fully rested Jimmy said, "It was a luxurious limosine that brought me around in America. It was very cool!" And after this, his manager, Xia Yu Shun, has 'tailor-made' a scientific swordfighting |
| serial for him. The cast is very cool as well, which involve Tae, Alec Su, Zhang Zhi Yao, Jie Xiao Dong, Yu Li, Mao Yiyi, Li Xiao Lu and many more. With such st- rong cast, Jimmy who on- ly wanted to film one dra- ma a year had finally agr- ee to it. He would start filming in mid-August. About his first heavy resp- onsibility after he is pro- moted to a manager, Ji- mmy said, "Won Bin is really popular and his schedule is very tight but I will surely arrange for him to come to Taiwan and meet everyone befo- re the summer vacation end." Jimmy added that he can't confirm exactly when yet but most likely, it will be in August. (12/7/2001) |
| Language Difference But Still Able To Chat |
| Jimmy is able to become Won Bin's Taiwan manager is not without a reason.Other than knowing each other 4 years ago and on good terms with Won Bin's Korean manager, the most important reason being that they are both car racing freaks. Knowing that Won Bin is very interested in car racing, Jimmy specially prepared his own racing team's collection items as a gift for Won Bin when he went to Korea recently and Won Bin loves it very much. Due to their simi- lar interest, they had unknowingly overcome the language barrier and were able to share their thoughts while they were watching the video of Jimmy's races which he brought to Korea. Sometimes, they're able to chat with- out the translation from the translator. Won Bin envy Jimmy for getting the support from his father and manager, and able to dis- play his car racing skills. Although he is very interested in this sport, he has never got the chance to race and could only feel the excite- ment from watching F1 races on TV. Jimmy said that when he comes to Taiwan, he will bring Won Bin to experience the excitement for himself. Won Bin hopes that he is able to have his own racing team too but his Korean manager disapproves it. Many Won Bin's fans are concern about when he'll arrive in Taiwan and kept calling Jimmy's company to enquire, making this star mana- ger keep shaking his head as Won Bin hasn't completed his movie and commerical yet. He will only come after finishing them. (14/7/2001) |

| who is the producer had changed the names of the main characters, su- ch as Jimmy's 'Xiao Yuer' will be change to 'Xiao Yu' (this name dosen't mean little fish as the character of this 'Yu' is written differently) And because of the strong cast, many overseas TV company are bidding a high price to buy its copy- rights, hence Xia Yu Sh- un is very happy. So as to concentrate in this drama, Jimmy will fi- lm and record for his alb- um at the same time in China. Originally, the fil- ming was planned to ta- ke place in Heng Dian but probably, they will move to Beijing for the fi- lming for the convenien- ce of Jimmy who has to |
| do his recordings in Beijing. Also, there was su- ppose to be a car racing commercial for Jimmy but due to the filming, he was forced to reject it, but he hopes that after he finish filming early next year, the company would invite him again as he just loves car racing. In the first episode, Jimmy still as Xiao Yu Er and Alec Su as Hua Wu Que will appear as bro- thers so as to refresh viewers memory of the previous drama. Jimmy and Tae are not acting as brothers, in fact this time, Jimmy will be play- ing the heaviest role as he will be portraying two different characters. He will be acting as Tae's cousin and also Tae's uncle. As for concentrating most of his time in the Anti- drug campaign this year, Jimmy added that he'll head for LA in September to receive the badge of honour from the White House as well as doi- ng the last series of anti-drug promotion, mark- ing the completion of his project.
