CTV 8pm slot, 'QTDS
enjoyed  excellent  vi-
ewership  ratings ev-
er since it started air-
ing.  According to the
AC   Nelson   survey,
yesterday's     ratings
even  hit  7.01,  far  ahead  of  TTV  8pm  'Glass
Slippers'  of 3.34 and CTS 8pm 'Pai An Jing Qi'
of  2.29,  being  the  champion among the 3 TV
stations.  CTV's general manager invited Dicky
and  Jimmy  for  a  celebration,  hoping  that the
ratings would reach an even greater peak. Dic-
ky  was  also  presented  with  a glass Buddha,
blessing  that  the show would go on smoothly
towards the top.
During the celebration, Dicky and buddy, Jimmy
happily made some 'monkey poses' for the me-
dia  interviews  and Dicky happily said that after
he  got  to  know  about the good result, he was
so happy that he couldn't sleep, as all his hard
work has paid off. And cheekily told Jimmy that
Taiwanese viewers are very clever, making the
right  choice.  As  for Jimmy, for the sake of this
celebration,  he  postphoned  his trip to Zhuhai
for a day and even sacrificed  his  practising  ti-
me  before  the  actual race, Dicky couldn't help
saying, "Gou Yi Si !" (not sure how to say in En-
glish  but  meaning  like  loyal  or true friend) In
QTDS,  Jimmy  protrayed  the  role of the suave
and  good-looking  Ne  Zha.  Currently,  he has
become  the  most  popular character of QTDS
in CTV's poll on the net, thus both he and Dicky
are  the  hot favourites on the internet. Both are
very  confident  with QTDS and hoping to reach
higher viewership.                              (18/7/2002)

Jimmy And Ruby Not Denying Meeting For Meals
Lately,  rumours  were
spreading that  Jimmy
and Ruby were togeth-
er  and   were  spotted
meeting up many  tim-
es for meals and  coff-
ee.   When  they   were
questioned,   although
they didn't deny having
meals  together,   they
only    admitted   being
good friends and den-
ied getting back toget-
ther.
Many  years  ago,  due
to  filming  together  in
the movie  'School Da-
ys',  came   about   the
rumour    that    Jimmy
and Ruby were dating.
But  this   simple   love
relationship  came   to
an end when Ruby  w-
ent  to  Beijing  to   film
'Huan Zhu Ge Ge' and
spread  that   Alec   Su
and her were together.
Years  later,   although
Ruby's and Alec's  na-
mes were often linked
together,   there  is  no
further development. Also  being  an artiste,
Jimmy     understands
the  truths  and  lies in
the entertainment  sc-
andals.  Both continue
to keep in contact. Even in  Ruby's  pictor-
ial  book press confer-
ence, Jimmy was also
present,  giving others
the   impression    that
though on the surface,
they  seem  to go sep-
arate ways, but under-
neath, they're together.
Questioning Ruby who
was currently filming in
Shanghai, she admitt-
ed  that  both  of  them
met  up for meals and
added    that   recently,
when Jimmy went car
racing and shot  a  co-
mmercial in Shanghai,
he had called her and
often, they would keep
in contact via ICQ,  but
she  claimed that they
weren't together.
Jimmy had returned to
Taipei after signing the
film   contract   of  'Tian
Long Ba Bu' in Beijing.
Regarding the  relatio-
nship  with   Ruby,   he
only admitted, "We did
meet up, just good  fri-
ends."    But    Jimmy's
manager, Xia Yu Shun
is very happy about th-
eir  pairing,  and  said,
"It's  great  if  it's  really
true. They're very com-
patible,   I'll  give  them
my blessings."
If  letting  Ruby choose
between   Jimmy   and
Alec,  who  would  she
choose?    She    said,
"None of them. Becau-
se one is the past, no-
w  it's  best  to  remain
as friends.  Alec is not
the type I like, the feel-
ing  with  him  is like a
family member.  If dat-
ing,  I  can't accept the
personality  of  a Virgo
guy (Alec)."

Rumours Flying In QTDS
The reason for the break up of Yuki
Hsu  and  her  boyfriend is that they
have  different  interest.   Yesterday,
when brought up about her ex-boy-
friend,  she  just  laughed and said,
"In  the  past,   some   people   also
said  something  about  Jimmy and
I." For  Jimmy,  he  said  frankly that
he  and  'old  flame'  Ruby  Lin   had
went  for  meals,  shopping,  as  for
whether they are together again, he
didn't comment.
Yuki  said  laughingly  that many ye-
ars ago, when Jimmy and her were
still in the music scene, maybe oth-
ers  seeing  them  as young people
joking  around and think that there's
something  between them.  She sa-
id jokingly, "Some even said that Ji-
mmy is my 'backstage pillar'. " Thin-
king  back   all  these,   she  shaked
her head and said,   "That's  simply
not the case."
Yesterday,  while Yuki was being question-
ed   about   her   relationship,   Jimmy   also
faced the same fate but everyone were inte-
rested about whether  'he  and  ex-girlfriend
Ruby Lin were together again.' Jimmy  fran-
kly said that they had met up but replied wi-
th a laugh,  "We  are  good  friends,  friends
that  go  online  or call on the phone to wish
each other."                                       (4/7/2002)
CTV's 'QTDS' Heading South For Scriptures
CTV's  'QTDS'  team had
prepared  to head south
yesterday, including Dic-
ky Cheung,  Jimmy, Yuki
Hsu, Edmund Leung, e-
tc.   Yesterday   morning,
at 7am, the whole group
of  them  had woke early
and  headed  for   Taipei
Train  Station to take the
train towards Kenting.
Although having to wake
at 6am, as this is the fir-
st  time  taking  a   sight-
seeing  train  to Kenting,
everyone felt  it's  some-
thing new and  interesti-
ng.   Dicky   and   Jimmy
looked  very  excited and
couldn't find a trace of ti-
redness in them. On the
train, they only settled d-
own  after exploring one
round  in  the train. Even
Yuki who's a Taiwanese
was surprised that a tra-
in can be so luxurious.
For the 6,7 hours  journ-
ey to Kenting, there  we-
re many funny  happeni-
ngs.
The experience of taking
a train made Jimmy and
many to take out their di-
gital cameras everywhe-
re,  taking  photos of  the
beautiful sceneries, and
seem more excited than
a  tourist.  They also had
a  big  appetite, finishing
up the whole of  the 'rail-
way lunchbox'!
When gathering at 7am,
being   a   local,   Jimmy
wanted  to bring pride to
the  local team and was
the  first  to arrive, but as
artistes usually have irr-
egular   working   hours,
this resulted to  Jimmy's
eyebags  being as huge
as a peach.
Just  when  all  the other
artistes  were   sleeping
on  the  train,  Jimmy ate
his    'railway   lunchbox'
hungrily. When everyone
were complimenting ab-
out  his   huge   appetite,
just    at    the    moment
when  he was filled with
pride, the metal  lunchb-
ox  flew out of his hands
and the others who  we-
re sleeping soundly we-
re all awakened in  sho-
ck.
Jimmy who haven't took
a  train  for  more than a
decade,  was  filled with
excitement and while he
and  Dicky  were   eating
their   lunch,   they   also
chatted about their divin-
g experience and F1 ra-
ce cars, just like a sight-
seeing  tourist,  heading
for southern Taiwan  for
a holiday. Jimmy felt that ta-
king a train is more comfor-
table than taking  an  airpla-
ne  and  the journey isn't so
rush,  able  to move around
freely, chatting with  everyo-
ne. The feeling is like  havi-
ng a vacation and not work-
ing.
Jimmy who  especially  lov-
es  water  sports, when not
filming,  he  would  arrange
with his good friends to Ke-
nting  every  year.  Having a
diving  licence,  Jimmy  had
actually wanted to accomp-
any  Dicky  diving   down   in
the  'Underwater  World' but
as there was another activi-
ty immediately after that, he
doesn't have time to mana-
ge his hair and had to  can-
cel  his thoughts and watch
Dicky  who's  bald, enjoying
in the water. But this  morn-
ing in Kenting  beach,   with
all the exciting water sports,
Jimmy   would   be   able  to show his skills.

'Sun Wu Kong' Takes The Lead, Bring Cast To A Seafood Feast
Though    experiencing
the unpredictable wea-
ther of Kenting  yester-
day, Dicky and his me-
mbers with their casu-
ual  outfit,  had   fun   in
the   waters   in   Hsiao
Wan Beach,  and  after
that went for a sumpto-
us seafood feast. Following that, they he-
aded    for   Kaoshiung
via ferry to reach  Qi  Ji-
ng  and  took  rides  on
the trishaw, enjoying a
fulfilling day.
Yesterday, it was plan-
ned that everyone  wo-
uld  have  fun  with  the
jetski  and diving in the
beach, but  unfortunat-
ely,  there was a heavy
downpour that mornin-
g, thus they had  to  ch-
ange plans and  head-
ed for the indoor water
theme  park,   enjoying
the man-made waves.
The artistes wanted to
head   for   Hsiao  Wan
Beach and when walk-
ing towards the seasi-
de, attracted all the  to-
rists'  attention.  But as
the   waves   were   too
strong, they could only
make use of the jetski,
dashing    across    the sea.
However,  it  started  to
rain  heavily  and   they
had to put off their acti-
vities.
Nevertheless, they we-
nt to Dong Gang in the
afternoon for a seafoo-
d lunch, later they arriv-
ed  in Qi Jing and tried
the trishaw rides, havi-
ng  lots  of  fun.  In  the
evening,  they  went  to
Kaoshiung city and he-
ld a handshaking ses-
sion,   and   the     area
was  filled with crowds
of  people.   Especially
our local little heavenly
king,  Jimmy had been
signing autographs till
his  hands  went   soft,
and    was    especially
well-liked  among   the
children, always surro-
unded  by   these   little
kids that he was  teas-
ed  being  the  king   of
children.

'QTDS' Having Fun In Kenting Beach, Trishaw Riding In Qi Jing
Yesterday,   the  team  of
QTDS headed for Kentin-
g. Having a diving licenc-
e, modern  'Ne Zha'  Jim-
my,  took lead waking up
early in the morning, pre-
paring to show his skills
in jetskiing. Unexpectedly,  his plans
foiled  due  to  the  heavy
rain and he had to  chan-
ge his location, 'alternati-
ve  wave  surfing'  in   the
man-made sea.
Kenting  is  Jimmy's  div-
ing 'starting point',  there-
fore  eversince he was a
student, he would  arran-
ge  with his friends to go
there every summer  vac-
ation,   enjoying   all   the
water activities available
there.  Eventhough   he's
busy with his  career  rig-
ht  now,  he  is  still  'very
much in love' with  Kenti-
ng.
Every summer break, he
would find time to go the-
ere,  enjoy  the  life of the
countryside, horse riding
on   the   beach,   milking
the cows in the farm,  fe-
eding  the  wild   horses.
And  heading  for   Hsiao
Wan, Nan Wan beaches
for the diving spots, chal-
lenging these difficult  di-
ving areas. Diving in the-
se  areas  where he had
to  go  against the strong
currents gave him a per-
sonal feeling of  challen-
ging    with   nature,   and
made him feel  exhilarat-
ed and excited.
However,  unable  to   go
into the sea this time, he
and Yuki were able to  fi-
nd their own entertainm-
ent,  each of them with a
surfboard on hand,  hav-
ing  fun  in   the   man-made
waves.
Until the rain stop, everyone
rushed  towards  the  Hsiao
Wan beach excitedly, but as
it was still dangerous to jet-
ski in the middle of the wat-
ers, they just went to play in
the  waves,  and   even   the
leader  of  the  whole  team,
Yang Deng Kui, also joined
in the fun.  Being totally wet,
Jimmy's  white outfit  indist-
inctly   exposed   his   chest
and swimming trunks, see-
ming rather sexy.

Jimmy Went Promoting In Southern Taiwan, Fans Hired Car And Spent Thousands
When  Jimmy  went  to
Southern    Taiwan   to
promote for 'QTDS', th-
ere  were  four  female
fans  who  went  along
with the whole trip, sp-
endings including  air-
fare,  lodging fees and
taxi  fares.  Within  this
short period of 2 days,
everyone  of  them had
spent over ten thousa-
nd  NT dollars. Seeing
the way these fans ch-
ase after their idol,  ev-
en  Dicky  sighed   and
shaked his head.
This    promotion     trip
was  very  rushed, with
all the schedule tightly
packed, but these fans
booked  a  taxi  for   the
whole  trip  without any
hesitation.  They   said
that  other  than   being
able to see Jimmy,  th-
ey're  also able to have
fun and felt very happy.
After that, when the ca-
st  are   heading   back
north   to  Wanli,  Tam-
shui  and  Wulai,   they
had  also   decided   to
go along,  not missing
any chance to  see  Ji-
mmy.
Jimmy said that actua-
lly he had knew  these
fans  for  ten  years, so
he  treated   them   like
friends. He remembe-
red that in the past, th-
ere was a fan who ne-
glected    her    studies
because  of  him   and
made  her mother very
worried. She even wro-
te letters to Jimmy and
his  father  hoping they
would help her daugh-
ter.    In   the   end,   his
father  and her mother
sat together for a meal
and    counselled   this
girl,  finally  letting  her
recover  to   her   usual
lifestyle again.
Coming    up,    Jimmy
would  be   filming   for
his  new  drama,  'Tian
Long  Ba  Bu',  and   in
this serial, he'll be pro-
traying the lead role of
Duan Yu.  As for the fe-
male  lead  for the role
of Wang Yu Yan,  it still
hasn't been decided.
He also disclosed that
China  is  preparing  to
spend 60 million RMB
to  set  up a film studio
in  Dali,   Yunnan   and
making it into a tourist
spot in that area.

Jimmy Leaving Showbiz At 34
Just  when  Jimmy's career has
entered a stable pace,  yesterd-
ay, he announced about his 're-
tirement' in advance.  He expre-
ssed that since 18, he had sta-
rted  managing  his  side-lines,
and till now, he hasn't stop wor-
king  on  them, thus he plans to
leave  showbiz  at 34 and allow
all his side-lines to become his
'main  career'.  This  has   been
his  plans  eversince he started
out  since  17  and wouldn't feel
that  it's  a  waste  about leaving
showbiz.
But he also somberly  express-
ed that people are still bringing
out  about  the rumour between
him and Ruby, but those are all
in the past, why comment  abo-
ut  it  again? In actual fact, he is
a  man  hoping to find a woman
to  love, but with the restrictions
of  his  work,  often  heading for
China,  Taiwan;  wanting to find
someone  he  loves   and   she,
being  able to tolerate his work,
to  find  such  a girl is really very
difficult.  Although  he  wants  to
date,  he  also  won't  be able to
concentrate well on  a  relation-
ship.  Now,  to  find someone to
love  is  no longer as simple as
just treating her like a girlfriend.

Showing Great Interest In Racing Drama, Jimmy Willing To Act For Free
n, very skilful.
Jimmy  said that filming
this  show  would  need
the support from the go-
vernment,   but   normal
people  would  see   no
difference  between car
racing and street racing.
Perhaps that's why  the-
re's still no news about
the show. He  said  lau-
ghingly   that   he   don't
wish this show won't be
able to start and he wo-
n't  be able to act as the
male lead, and in future
had  to  act  as the male
lead's  father.  Thus   he
expressed   that  if  any-
one  wants  to  film  this
series,  have  to be fast.
He   doesn't  use  stunt-
men  and  is  willing   to
act  for  free.   Moreover,
he's able to gather  ma-
ny     professional     car
racers  to   be   involved,
so  getting  him to act is
surely worth it!
                        (8/7/2002)
Jimmy who loves car  r-
acing, regards the male
lead, Takumi, in Japan-
ese  classic  car  racing
comic    and   animation
'Tou  Wen  Zi  D'  as  his
idol.  In  Taiwan,  some-
one  is preparing to film
a TV version and invited
Jimmy to star in it. Jimmy was looking  for-
ward to it but till now, th-
ere  isn't   further   news
about   it,   making   him
anxious  and  'spill  out',
"If  anyone wants to film
it, I'm willing to act  in  it
free!"
Jimmy received ESSO's
sponsorship of over mi-
llions  of   dollars   every
year, almost every mon-
th, he had to take part in
races  held   in   several
places.  Next  week,  he
would  be  heading   for
Zhuhai.  In  August,   he
would be going to Mala-
ysia.  Car racing can be
said to be his best love.
He said that this Japan-
ese  comic  is regarded
as  a  classic among all
car    racers.   The   lead
character, Takumi, look-
s  ordinary  but  once he
sits his driver seat, he's
a totally different  perso-
Jimmy As Ambassador For Special Operations Squad, Involved In Bank Robbery Drill
Since  young, Jimmy loves
fiddling  with toy guns, and
even  wanted to be a right-
eous policeman. However,
after he grew up,  he could
only  fulfil  this  ambition in
his   dreams.   Fortunately
yesterday, he was the am-
bassador for the Taiwane-
se  police  force's   Special
Weapons     And     Tactics
(Swat) team, with a gun in his hands, participa-
ting in the anti-robbery drill.
After  being  the  ambassador  for   the   anti-fire
campaign, yesterday, Jimmy turned into one of
the members of the Swat team, appearing in a
bank,  involving  in  a realistic robbery drill. Even
though the guns were loaded with blank bullets,
the realistic scenerio made him felt really exhil-
rated.
He said that since young, he imagined himself
being righteous, helping to bring law and order,
thus  his  greatest  ambition  was to be a suave
policeman. Even when playing  games  in  sch-
ool,  most of the time, he and his friends would
play  with  BB  guns  and  paint  guns. After that,
fate  brought  him  into showbiz and even when
serving in the army, he especially likes shootin-
igs training. After army, this interest starts to gr-
ow in him and he begins collecting toy guns.
He  added  that when he was serving army and
one day, when doing guard duty, he encounter-
ed a hit-and-run incident. After he had  immedi-
ately  reported  to  his  officer,  both  he  and  his
fellow soldier got into a car and gave chase. Th-
ey  managed  to  block  the  cross  junction  and
stopped the driver, then both of them went  tow-
wards the driver and caught him red handed. The sense of satisfaction at that time still made
him felt 'really good'.
Jimmy's new drama, 'QTDS' had been receiving
good response and in a popularity poll in CTV's
website,   Jimmy's 'Ne Zha' role is even leading
ahead  of  'Sun  Wu  Kong'  -  Dicky Cheung and
other artistes at 46%. Other than  accepting  an-
other new drama 'Tian Long Ba Bu', today, Jim-
my  would  be  involve  in  filming  works  of CTS
modern idol drama 'Tou Tou Ai Shang Ni'  (Sec-
retly In Love With You).
Regarding a rumour that because of the role of
Duan Yu, Jimmy and Alec were fighting  over  it,
leading  to  both not getting along, he said, "We
don't  have  anything  against each other. When
he's free, he would even call Xia Ge (Jim's man-
ager) and ask him to send me his regards."

Jimmy Lin acts tough - for a good cause
By Lawrence Chung
STRAITS TIMES TAIWAN BUREAU (17-7-2002)

TAIPEI  -  Popular  artiste  'Little
Heavenly King'  Jimmy Lin gave
his  best  shot  as a member of
the  Taiwanese   police   force's
Special  Weapons  And  Tactics
(Swat) team during a mock rob-
bery bust in Taipei yesterday.
But  some said his portrayal as
a member of  the gallant police
assault squad was hardly  con-
vincing.  His soft lover-boy  ima-
ge is a hinderance, they added.
During  the  mock   bank   heist,
the  artiste,  with  his  long  hair
combed back, pointed  his  pis-
tol  at  one  of  the 'robbers' and
ordered  the  man to surrender.
'It  is  a  lot  more  realistic  than

said    retired     military

conference    after    the
operation yesterday.
The  event  was  part of
Taipei's     anti-robbery

for the Taipei City  Gov-

The      ex-teenybopper,

Jimmy And Wallace Horseriding In Idol Drama
It's now the summer  vac-
ation and idol dramas are
very popular right now. Having a cast of  handso-
me guys and beautiful gi-
rls in new serial, 'Tou Tou
Ai  Shang  Ni'  (Secretly  In
Love With You) is rushing
filming works right now. Getting  Jimmy,   Lin   Wei
Jun, Wallace Chung, Zhe-
ng  An  Lun  to  the beach,
under  the  hot sun, horse
riding  and driving in jeep.
Jimmy, who would be he-
ading  for  China  soon  to
film  'Tian Long Ba Bu', so
as  to  give  his support to
his  junior,  Tae,  specially
joined  in  CTS  new  8pm
slot serial which is  sche-
uled to air in 5th August.
However, Tae wasn't  pre-
sent yesterday, leading to
the curiousity of the medi-
a. The production explain-
ed that as Tae was arran-
ged in another scene,  so
yesterday's   scene    was
concentrating  on   Jimmy
and Wallace.
'Ah!  I'm dead! Help! Help!
Help!',   then   from   there,
unknowingly I learnt to  ri-
de it."
In  'Secretly  In  Love  With
You',    Jimmy   would   be
protraying   the   role  of  a
'sunshiney'  guy,  and with
Jimmy's  personal image,
it  fulfils the type of guy Lin
Wei  Jun likes. In addition,
when sharing a horse wit-
h Jimmy, galloping on the
beach yesterday, the rom-
antic mood affected  ever-
yone  in  the  scene, mak-
ing Lin Wei Jun infatuated
in  it.  However, as both of
them don't know each oth-
er  very  well,  sitting close
together  still  made  them
felt  slightly  awkward.  Lin
Wei  Jun said smilingly, "I
feel  that  Jimmy  and  Tae
really  look  alike, just that
Tae is much younger. But
the feeling Jimmy gives is
more   sunny   and   more
healthy. Although I admire
Jimmy, we'd definitely not
cause a rumour."(18/7/02)
Expectedly, under the sun-
ny  day and blue sea, with
the company of gallant ho-
rses, these pairs of beau-
tiful  couples  attracted the
attention    of   the   nearby
locals  and  tourists. Well-
known   for   his  excellent
driving  skills, Jimmy also
surprises   everyone   with
his horseriding skills, bri-
nging  Lin  Wei Jun along,
galloping across the san-
d,   making   her   nervous
and frightened, but thrilled
as  well.  At  first, everyone
thought  that   Jimmy   and
Wallace would  only sit on
the horses, posing for ph-
otos, but  had  under-esti-
mated their abilities.
Jimmy described and de-
mostrated    humourously
about his learning  proce-
s in horse-riding, "When I
was  filming,  initially,   I'm

Jimmy And Dicky Celebrate For QTDS Hitting 7 In Ratings
Sun Wu Kong, Ne Zha, Fierce Competition Online
In    CTV's   'QTDS',   is   it
Dicky  Cheung  acting  as
Sun Wu Kong who is 'Sh-
uai dao diao zha' (Wu Ko-
ng's fave slogan meaning
extremely  handsome)  or
is  it  Jimmy  acting as Ne
Zha  who  gives   a   fresh
and new feeling? The vie-
wership ratings of the sh-
ow where both  are  lead-
ing in has been  increasi-
ng higher and higher and
as  supporters each have
their own likings, has sta-
rted  a  battle  of words on
the  internet,  flooding  the
whole  CTV's  discussion
forum.
Until yesterday, the statis-
tics  of  the popularity poll,
Dicky  is  leading   at   the
moment  with  3791 votes
while  Jimmy  is   chasing
up  with  3661 votes. Both
having a difference of just
less than 200 votes.  Any-
time, there may be a cha-
nge. Dicky may have stro-
nger support but if not ca-
reful, with Jimmy's  supp-
orters  flooding  in,  Dicky
may  have  to  give  up  on
the title of 'popularity king'.
About the competition be-
tween 'Sun Wu Kong' and
'Ne Zha', Jimmy said light-
heartedly,  "My  votes   are
lower?   This  is  very  nor-
mal since my  appearanc-
es  in  the show isn't a lot.
Moreover,  Sun  Wu  Kong
is  the  main lead. Both of
us  being  friends   for   so
long,  there's   nothing   to
argue over such matters."
But manager Xia Yu Shun
defended for Jimmy,  say-
ing, "Actually Jimmy shou-
ld have more scenes than
that  but  as he had to film
for JSSJ at the same time,
the  number  of  episodes
for  him  were   shortened,
or  else everyone can see
more of his portrayals."
Jimmy's    assistant   also
disclosed    that   Jimmy's
appearances may be less
but for the sake of this se-
rial,  he has been through
lots of  hardships.  As  Ne
Zha  flies  in the sky using
the  firewheels  under his
feet,  Jimmy  had  to hang
in  the  air  with  the metal
wirings all day long.   Not
just  suffering  bruises all
over his body, who knows
if  his  'little  brother'   may
face   problems   with   all
these hangings.
Upon  hearing  the  news
about  the battle between
both   supporters,    Dicky
said with a smile, "That's
good.  This   shows   that
many people  are  watch-
ing  our  show. No matter
who has higher votes,  I'll
still  be extremely happy!"
After that, his smile  disa-
ppeared  and   disclosed
that  at  the  time  he  had
disagreements with TVB,
his career and mood had
been going down, but aft-
er  working   with   Jimmy
many  times,  he  is   very
grateful for his encourag-
ements and support dur-
ing  that   difficult   period,
therefore no matter what,
he  must  get   Jimmy   to
work together in this new
show.              (22/7/2002)
Jimmy Welcomes Benny Chan, Having Fun In Basketball
not  only  offered to guest
star  in  Xia's  Family new
production,  even  yester-
day  when he could enjoy
his free day, he still spec-
ially  went  to  Lin Kou, on
one   hand,   to   welcome
Benny  Chan  and  on the
other,  to  give  his friends
his moral support.
Gathering  the  four  guys
together, not only do they
get  along  very  well, they
even had a game of  bas-
ketball and had lots of fun
challenging each other.
                         (24/7/2002)
So as to welcome  Benny
Chan to join in the filming
of  'Secretly  In  Love  With
You',    yesterday,   Jimmy
specially went to Lin Kou.
With  his  status of senior
in  Xia's  Family,  he went
to  show  his   support   to
his juniors, Wallace Chu-
ng and Tae,  breaking the
rumour  that  senior   and
junior don't get along.
Jimmy  is   Taiwan   'Little
Heavenly King' while  Be-
nny  is  Hong Kong TVB's
valued  actor.  Although it
was  their   first   meeting,
both admire each other's
abilities  and  would  also
be acting in this  new  se-
rial.
Jimmy specially drove for
3  hours all the way to Lin
Kou  to  visit  them during
their filming process.  On
meeting  each other, both
of  them  got   along   very
well and share lots of coi-
ncidences  in  their  work,
as both portrayed the role
of  the  Monkey  King,   Ne
Zha  and  for  Jimmy,  the
upcoming  role  of   Duan
Yu.  Benny  had acted the
role of Duan Yu  and  jok-
ed, "All my work are going
to  be  snatched  by   Jim-
my!" Jimmy replied, "Ben-
ny  had  already  acted as
Duan  Yu,  I  have  a  lot to
learn from him." Because
of acting in the new serial
at the same time, they fin-
ally   have   a   chance   to
work together.
Jimmy would be heading
for  China   soon   to   film
'Tian  Long Ba Bu', but he
    Tour In Las Vegas?!     Jimmy, Ruby: No Underground Relationship
Jimmy and Ruby touring in Las Vegas hand-in-
hand? Ruby who ended her filming work in Ch-
ina  said  with  a  laugh,  "For the past half year,
I've  been  in Shanghai. Don't even have time to
return to Taiwan,  how to go elsewhere?" While
Jimmy who is currently filming CTS  'Secretly In
Love  With  You' replied, "If we're really together,
definitely disclose it to the public, I  believe  Ru-
by would think the same way."
According  to  a 'secret witness' who expressed
that last month,  Jimmy and Ruby secretly went
to Las Vegas and that the relationship between
Jimmy and Ruby had never been broken!
On hearing this news, Ruby felt amused at first
and  later  said, "Aiya, Jimmy and I haven't seen
each  other  for two years, the last time, we only
manage  to  meet  with  the  help of the pictorial
book press conference, of course I'm not  agai-
nst  meeting  him again but this matter is really
nonsensical, how do you want me to admit?"
Feeling agiated, she  even  showed  her  pass-
port, proving that she really didn't go to USA.
When  Jimmy  heard  about  the  news, he said,
"Feel  like  scolding   people!" Feeling angry, he
continued,  "I know who said all this, but I really
don't like it.  People would think I'm the one cre-
ating all these news and seems as though  I'm
a big flirt, but there's really no such things."
After  completing  the  promotion  for QTDS and
the  filming  work  of  CTS 'Secretly In Love With
You',  currently, other than preparing for the pro-
motion  of  ETTV  'Lu Xiao Feng',  Jimmy is also
waiting  for  the  filming  work  of   China   CCTV
'Tian Long Ba Bu'  to start in  late  August.  Talk-
ing about his 'relationship' with Ruby, he expre-
ssed  that  now,  he dare not say anything more
about  it.  He  said,  "Ruby  and I will still remain
as good friends. Having a concert, I'll also invite
her, but now, we only keep in contact during sp-
ecial ocassion.  If  really  together,  I  will  surely
disclose,  I  believe  Ruby  also  have  the same
thoughts."                                              (28/7/2002)
