started  to  take  up car racing
and  is  starting  to   love   this
sport.
In this drama,  Jimmy portray-
ed as a reporter, with a  cam-
era  in  his  hands,   capturing
shots.  However,  due  to   the
requirements in the script, Ji-
mmy   and   Wallace   have  to
shoot several social  dancing
scenes  in the nightclub.
Since    Wallace    had     ever
danced  Tango  and  Waltz  in
his   previous  MTV,  naturally,
he's  Jimmy's   best   dancing
instructor.              (12/6/2001)
Two 'Tigers' Befriend In Shanghai
[ BACK | INDEX | HOME | NEXT ]
Jimmy becomes a reporter, going all ways for news report
Because  of  working together in
the latest drama in Shanghai, Ji-
mmy  and  Wallace  Zhong  bec-
ame buddies. After they return to
Taiwan, they never forget to me-
et  up  in  the fave celebrity's pub
'Room 18'.  Since they get along
very well, Wallace who likes ba-
sketball  started  to gain interest
in car racing and because of W-
allace,  Jimmy's Cantonese has
become more fluent.
Being  in  showbiz  for  so  many
years, Jimmy has 2 best  buddi-
dies.  One  is  Alex  Toh  and the
other is Zhao Chuan. Most inter-
esting is that the zodiac sign  of
both Jimmy and Alex is tiger.
Although Alex is 12 years  old-
er than Jimmy, they  have  be-
en best buddies from the time
they  first  met  about  8   years
ago. After filming in the drama
in Shanghai, Jimmy and Wall-
ace got along very well.  When
they were filming everyday, th-
ey have neverending topics to
talk about. Since both of them
were  also  born in 1974,   the
year of the tiger,  they became
buddies and are  able  to  talk
about anything.
After Zhong returned to  Taiw-
an to record for the theme so-
ng of  the drama, whenever he is
free,  both of them would meet in
'Room 18', a very popular pub a-
mong the celebrities, to relax.
Wallace added that he has learn
many things from Jimmy.
Because of  filming and meeting
each   other   everyday,   Wallace
realised that  Jimmy who started
out  since 17 and able to remain
popular till now is no wonder.
With  Jimmy  being  able  to sing
and act,  plus he's good in com-
puter   and  a   professional   car
racer, Wallace is  starting to look
upon Jimmy as a learning exam-
ple. And because  of  Jimmy,  he
ere are many scenes of me danc-
ing on the dancefloor in  this  dra-
ma.  Because of this,  I speacially
learnt  waltz  and  tango.  As  I had
dancing experience,  the  learning
process wasn't hard."
Filming in Shanghai for the first ti-
me,   Jimmy  felt  curious  towards
Shi Li Yang Chang, a place in Sh-
anghai. Making use of his  free  ti-
me, Jimmy,  Wallace  and   Zheng
would arrange to  go to  Shanghai
famous  restuarant  and  try   their cuisine. Also, he would put on his
sunglasses and shop around,
but no matter what, many sha-
rp passers-by saw through his
disguise  and immediately su-
rrounded  Jimmy,   asking   for
his autograph.  It even caused
the crowd to grow bigger  whi-
freaked him out. He immedia-
tely hopped into a taxi to esca-
pe from the growing crowd.
Although  it  is the first time for
all  the  cast  to  work together,
Jimmy  got  along very well wi-
th them  especially  Zheng  Jia
Yu  who  is  under   the   same
management company as  Ji-
mmy and Wallace Chung who
is of the same age. They work
very happily with  one  another
and  Jimmy  felt   very   relaxed
when they are filming. The da-
te  of broadcast for this drama
have not yet been arrange  yet
but many Jimmy fans are alre-
ady waiting for it to  bro-
adcast soon.
After finishing  this  dra-
ma, Jimmy will be  pre-
paring for  another new
drama,  "Jue Dai Shua-
ng  Jiao  2001".  Jimmy
replied  jokingly,   "This
drama will also be film-
ed in China. I feel like  I
know the place too  we-
ll."                (14/6/2001)
From a celebrity, Jimmy switched
into a jornalist.  Not  only must he
run around for news, compete for
news, he would even need to risk
his life to grab an interview.
Jimmy said smilingly,  "Eversince
I stepped in showbiz, I have rece-
ived many kinds of interviews, but
I had never acted as a journalist.
Now  that  I have experienced it,  I
realised that the life of  a  journal-
ist is filled  with challenges and it
is really tough."
In the new drama, Hua Yang Nian
Hua,  Jimmy  was  a  journalist  in
the 30s-40s. Everyday,  he  would
carry  his  camera,  together  with
Zhen Jia Yu, Wallace Chung  and
Chen Hong exploring around Sh-
anghai.  Jimmy said smilingly,   "I
had always like photography. Mo-
reover, all these years, I have ma-
ny  friends from the media so it is
not though acting as one. But  th-
13th  June,  Jimmy  as  the  boss of 'Jimmy Creative' went to Seoul to meet Korean rising star, Wo Bin to dis- cuss about the plans of
working together. But before his trip, Jimmy who always try to keep a low profile, only said, "I have a few good friends in Korea, so I'm
going there to visit them."
As  a few of his movies were released in Korea before he was under military service and after the service, his album, 'Men Are Easily
Deceived'  was  also  released  there,  so he was well-known in Korea and also kn- ew many managers, one of them which includes
the current manager of Wo Bin.
Jimmy  plans  to  spend  about  3  to  4  days  in Korea, mainly to discuss about the future possibilities of worki-ng together. Wo Bin's
drama,  'Endless  Love' is very popular in Taiwan but he hasn't visited Taiwan,  thus Jimmy hoped that he would be able to persuade
him  to  come to Taiwan and meet his fans and even consi- der expanding his career in Taiwan.   Recently,  2 Korean stars involve in
the  same  drama  came  to  Taiwan  for  its  promotion  and  caused  an  uproar.  'Jimmy  Creative'  crew  were  busy   compiling   the
informations  of  these  related  events  for  'Boss Lin' to bring it over to Korea for the conference meeting with Wo Bin's management
company.  As  Wo  Bin's  pictorial  book was directly imported from Korea, Jimmy hopes to achieve to copyrights of  the book from the
management company,  photographer and publisher so as to release a Chinese version of the book in Taiwan. (15/6/2001)
