When talking about how much does a male celeb 'cost', not only
we talk about his salary, there's one more new perspect we look for -- how much
is needed to 'buy' a male celeb. From China's news report, they made a special
survey and research to find out what type of male celeb Hongkong rich women
wants and how much they are willing to pay for a male celeb. The results were surprising and it came out to be Taiwanese
Boyband F4's youngest hot baby ZaiZai Zhou Yu Min who topped amongst so many
male celebs. These rich women are very generous and are willing to pay 6 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 HKD to 'buy' and feed Zaizai for 1 year. It has been very common when businessmen booked hot female celeb.
It wasnt rare anymore. However, rich businesswomen nowadays turned the world
around!! They used money to buy relationship and love!!! Their survey results
stated that during 1980s, these women love to see Leslie Cheung as he looks
pretty good. During those days, some women were willing to pay Leslie 1 Million
HKD to 'own' him for 1 year. These figures overwhelmed many other male celeb's
wages. And now to 1990s, Butter-faced Leon Lai was the hot pick. Some of these
women offered 1.6million to 'own' him for 1 year. Then, Tony Leong and Aaron
Quak were placed 2nd and 3rd respectively. Now the successor of the 1990 hot pick of the ladies was ZZ
ZHOU YU MIN!!!! Just because of Meteor Garden, it rocketted him in all countries
especially in HK too. Out of so many hot picks, ZZ was offered the most in the
century! ZZ gives a very shy but gentle appearance, and a mind of purity boy.
This then proven that there is no need to be muscular in order to achieve a
place in women's heart. Jerry Yan and Jay Chou were then placed 2nd and 3rd respectively.
However whenever male celebs hear these news, they always turned away from that
conversation. They rather film more movies and release more album than being
called a "Xiao Bai Lian"(takes money from women only; useless). Credit: kEn`kAn of Faithful

The idol drama “Mars,” adapted from a Japanese manga, especially made a trip to Xian Tai, Japan to film scenes. In order to make the role, Ling, that Zai Zai Vic Zhou will be portraying to correspond the original professional racer role in the manga.
Zai Zai, “I’m aware that the role is a professional racer. This is also my first time to try to act as a professional racer in a drama. The challenge is tremendous for me. We also called on the famous Ah Bu Dian Shi, hoping that he can portray this racing role well.”
Da S, “This is my first time at an official race track and I think it’s very fresh. I hope that will go smoothly.”
At the same time, the manufacturing unit invited the GP champion of Japan, Ah Bu Dian Shi to be Zai Zai’s coach. They also compared their handsomeness on the spot.
Ai Sha: “Are
you ready?”
Zai Zai: “Yes.”
Ai Sha: “Are you nervous?”
Zai Zai: “No.”
Ai Sha: “Jia you.”
However, it’s evident that this equipped Zai Zai, technology-wise still needs some work.
Ai Sha: “Are
you really ready? Ok, Ok, start! So handsome.”
Later…
Zai Zai: “Just a moment ago I skid, the first time.”
Ai Sha: “Really?”
Zai Zai: “Yeah, I skid the first time. Did you see it?”
Ai Sha: “Then did he pass? Is this ok?”
Ah Bu Dian Shi: “OK.”

Zai Zai praised by a Japanese racer that he has hidden quality
For his new drama “Mars,” Vic Zhou traveled to Xian Tai to film and cooperated with well-known Japanese racer, Chang Shan Zhong Yu. Zai Zai, who set foot on a racetrack for the first time, was praised to have a hidden quality to be a true racer.
Earlier, Zai Zai and Da S traveled to Xian Tai, Japan to film “Mars.” In order to film a series of racing scenes, the team especially went to a real racetrack, Sugo, to take scenery. Even more, they invited Yamaha motorcycle advisor A Bu Dian Shi to guide Zai Zai in his racing scenes. What’s more is that Zai Zai had the opportunity to work with well-known Japanese racer, Chang Shan Zhong Yu. Despite the language barrier, under the aid of translators, Zai Zai was still able to frequently gain knowledge from the other party.
Chang Shan Zhong Yu, having had more than 10 years of experience, had a very good impression on Zai Zai. A few days ago, he wrote his thoughts about working together with Zai Zai on his personal website. He greatly praised that Zai Zai took his work seriously, knew the appropriate times to control the speed limit and has a hidden quality for a racer. Furthermore, he said that the two had a pleasant time working together and hopes that they will have a chance to work together again someday.
The team stayed at Xian Tai for almost a week. Because the weather was unsteady, they couldn’t shoot any scenes since the shooting location always accumulated snow. All Zai Zai could do was shoot some motorcycle scenes indoors.
Fortunately, the weather was better during the last two days. Zai Zai was finally able to drive a motorcycle on the racetrack and complete the series of racing scenes smoothly.
In order to fit the “unruly” image of the lead role, Zai Zai need hair extensions. His hair is about 5 inches longer. Zai Zai laughingly said that it was most inconvenient when eating because he frequently ate his own hair. But the benefit of his longer hair is that it keeps him warmer so he doesn’t need to wear a scarf.
This time Zai Zai lived in Xian Tai’s famous Hotsprings Hotel SugoCircuit. Zai Zai, who originally wanted to go to the hot springs, didn’t find out that there were about 100 fans until he reached the hotel. Because the hot spring was outside of the room, to avoid fans peeping, Zai Zai gave up the chance of enjoying the hot springs.

Director Cai said Zaizai’s acting skills and pronunciations have greatly
improved
It’s been two years since Director Cai worked with Ziazai and Big S in Meteor Garden. He is very satisfied with their performances.
Probably because of her experiences in the past two years, Big S’s acting style has matured a lot and the transformation suits her role in Mars fine.
Compared to when Zaizai was in Meteor Garden, director Cai says Zaizai has greatly improved.
He said that the other day they were shooting a scene that both of them thought was very similar to one scene in Meteor Garden. At the time of Meteor Garden, it took them from noon till dark and still couldn’t get it right.
This time Zaizai finished it rather quickly. That’s how much he has improved.
As for pronunciation of which even Zaizai himself thinks is difficult to overcome, he says Zaizai has improved a lot.

Currently, “Jin Sang Zi Zhou Xuan” is in the process of finding the actor for “Zhou Xuan.” However, “Jin Sang Zi Zhou Xuan” is very similar to the Korean drama “Endless Love.” Zhou Xuan once experienced a “brother-sister love.” Due to the fact that the Zhou family adopted Zhou Xuan, the two siblings therefore are not blood-related siblings. But due of all kinds of reasons, they can’t be together although they love each other.
As for this turned-on “brother,” Zhang Bao Fa revealed that they have already invited F4’s Zai Zai Vic Zhou because he has this most elegant temperament. Zai Zai is currently looking over the script.
It is reported that the latest date the drama will start filming will be August. Zhang Bao Fa expressed in the end, Chengdu and Chongqing are both places that contain beauties so they hope to find someone suitable to act in “Jin Sang Zi Zhou Xuan.”

VICTORY CALL
March 18, 2004
True. our Vic, better known as Zai ZAi to fans, loves nothing more than a good
snooze. hence, the free checkered pajama top that came with his latest CD was
thought up by him because he wanted to give his fans something useful yet intimate.
check out the little pocket wuth his cartoon emblem on the left. "So that
i can be close to my fans' hearts," he cooes sweetly.
False. On the contrary, naturally skinny Zai Zai is buffing himself up to prepare
for a new role in a sitcom. the lanky lad knows he'll never have bandmate Wu's
muscles, so he's content to lift the occassional dumbbell at home.
True. Sure, they share honours as the most popular members of F$, but Vic is
dead envious ofJErry for co-starring with Sammi Cheng in MAgic Kitchen. "I'd
lurve to work with Sammi too," he hints. Directors, are you reading this?
False. Maybe hit's because he'd made his showbiz debut on the hit drama Meteor
Garden. Vic definitely prefers acting to singing because being a pop star is
lonely. the best part of acting? he gets to work with a big cast and works with
more people. the notoriously shy lad takes it as an opportunity to develop his
interpersonal skills which, he reckons, has improved a lot since he entered
showbiz.
False. Who says F4 are fixated with their hair? Vic reckons Vanness' shorn off
look is just fine. And if he's offered a role that requires him to shave his
head, he'll do it, no problem.
True. this family man even has his baby plans all laid out. he intends to stop
at two. and he wants his kids when he's still a young chap. so hopefully, by
the time the grandchildren come along, he's still as fit as a fiddle to play
with them. Vic, a grandpa? We can't imagine!!
True. these days, his MAndarin has greatly improved since he moved to Taipei.
on a trip back to hometown Yi LAn, Vic was chatting qith his mum when he suddenly
realised that, gosh! HE'd picked up his enuciation from mum!
True. 'Everyone has a psychotic side,"he murmured darkly. and yes, his
dream role Is to play a schizaphrenic someday.
[03.19.04] 3/17 ZZ - 20,000,000 a month, partly translated
Rich commerce likes young girls with a good stature. Rich women like cutie gigolos and bold men with well-built bodies as well as handsome guys. The entertainment circle is the headquarters of ferocious males. It’s only natural that this is the holy place for millionaire ladies.
From the 80s’ Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Ray Liu to the 90s’ Tony Leung, Leon, until today’s Zai Zai, Jerry Yan and Bae Yong Jun, all are the most wanted male celebrities of rich ladies. In order to touch the hearts of these actors, wealthy women are willing to take out 5,000,000 to 8,000,000 HKD (NT 22,500,000 to 36,000,000).
A few days ago, handsome Korean actor Bae Yong Jun promoted his new movie in Taiwan arousing madness among female fans. But looking ahead, among these females, the majority are wealthy ladies. They have money and leisure. When they chase celebrities they obviously spend a ton booking charabancs, rooms, and fields. They make people aware of middle-aged women’s grand offerings, not losing to young people.
With the same principle, if millionaire women have a male celebrity as their target, the money they throw out really can kill people. Last year, Vic Zhou and Ken Zhu promoted their drama “Love Storm” in Indonesia. The two created a whirlwind, receiving a very warm welcome by young female fans.
However, this is not what confounded the staff members because there was a middle-aged lady who claimed to be rich. She said she owned a bank, forest, department store and other industries. She said, “As long as F2 Vic Zhou and Ken Zhu are willing to be supported, just give me a price!” This almost frightened the two guys to death.
The upper class in Hong Kong has always had a price list of supported female celebrities. They also have a price ranking of the most popular supported male celebrities. From this chart, it’s not difficult to see that male celebrities that the rich ladies like sequent with generation and trend.
Next few paragraphs on some Hong Kong celebrities and the amount rich ladies gave to support them.
In 2000, these celebrities are in their 30s and 40s so they do not meet with wealthy ladies’ demands of “young and fresh.” Therefore, nowadays, Zai Zai, Jerry Yan and Jay Chou have become the three most wanted men by rich ladies for care.
In order to take care of these 3 handsome celebrities, these rich ladies have offered millions. For Zai Zai’s support price, a month is 5,000,000 HKD (NT 22,500,000), Jerry’s is 3,000,000HKD a month and Jay’s is 2,000,000HKD a month.
The reason why all 3 stars are from Taiwan is probably because there hasn't been any new artists that stands out in HK and the old ones don't have anything refreshing.
Rich Ladies Love Zai Zai Most
This person expressed that Zai Zai's gentilesse and obedient appearance not only attract young girls, but also recieves gazes from wealthy women. And Zai Zai's shyness and his lovable traits arousing rich ladies' maternity. That's why he is the champion for most popular male celebrity wanted by rich ladies.

IS it time to wave bye, bye, bye to teen pop? Critics seem to think so. Even as boy band 5566 releases "Second album" - one of the year's
most in-demand discs - music critics are predicting the death of bubble-gum
pop. FTV declared in a headline on Friday, "Boy bands starting to feel some
backlash." " 'Pop' Goes the Teen Boom?" asked Entertainment U in February, after
Chou released the single "Ji De Wo Ai Ni." The article went on to
say the "music industry is anticipating a downturn because it believes
teens are burned out on the sound." And Asia News Service recently reported, "Teen pop may be petering out."
It's more a matter of taste than truth. Sure, F4 not the Beatles or even the
Spinners, but don't tell that to 14-year olds, who still cause a traffic jam
in Taichung when any of their pop idols are on. Hey, critics never liked teen pop to begin with. And teen pop idols like F4
and 5566 don't like critics as well, to begin with. And, if teen pop is a fading fad, store owners don't know it. They've ordered
million copies of ZZ's new album, the same number they ordered for the group
5566 mega hit "Second Album." But if *ZZ's and soon-to-release album Ken and Vanness's new effort fail to
And critics will start saying it's over for the pop-culture phenom. But that's wishful thinking. Even dumber are those - like Apple Daily - who suggest Yen's very adult problems
of immaturity and unprofessionalism signal the end of the teen musical trend.
If booze and the blues could end a musical trend, rock 'n' roll would have
died long before Elvis did and we'd all be doing the waltz. F4 will always remain in the history of Music , Entertainment and Asia . The
hell with the critics. If the critics say Vic's album expect to sale 2M, and
he only sold 1.5M, does that mean his album is a failure? I don't think so...

Zaizai currently
is a college sophomore and will soon face the problem of military services.
He thinks one year and ten moths of training do not improve the military power.
Enlistment, which treats soldiers as a profession with full benefits, serves

all have many questions. I attended high school and lived in Japan for many
years so I can communicate with the Japanese people.” Everyone really appreciates Tang Ke Hua for translating. Cai Yue Xun said,
“At first I thought one translator is enough. I never thought that one
translator couldn’t handle everything. Tang Ke Hua really has helped out

Vic Zhou filming in Japan for Mars 03/06
Yesterday, Zai Zai Vic Zhou went to the famous Sugo racing track in Japan to film several scenes for his new drama “Mars.” There were backsets on the first day of shooting due to snow. Zai Zai, as the leading role, has to risk racing in subzero temperatures.
Zai Zai and Da S, Hsu Xi Yuan, reached Japan yesterday to film for their new drama “Mars.” The main purpose is to shoot many irritating racing scenes. The location this time is Xian Tai Sport Land Sugo racing track. Back in the days, Jacky Chan once filmed the movie “Pi Li Huo” here. In February, director Cai Yue Xun took a special trip to view the scenery.
Yesterday, there were over 300 temporary actors. There were also many heavy-duty motorcycles at the scene. One manufacturing day cost more than 1,000,000HKD. At the same time, to ensure the actors’ safety, the manufacturing unit has to also purchase a huge sum of insurance. It’s no wonder “Mars” named the “most expensive manufactured Taiwan drama.”
The shooting yesterday was effected by the snowstorm many times. The group arrived at the racetrack in high spirits. But because of the incessant snowing, a cancellation was announced in the morning. The weather was better in the afternoon and the filming was able to carry on. But for safety reasons, the manufacturing unit only filmed a part of Zai Zai and Da S scenes yesterday. Zai Zai temporarily doesn’t need to race.
In order to film the numerous racing scenes, Zai Zai attended 10 “heavy-duty motorcycle” driving classes in Taiwan. He, who originally didn’t even have a motorcycle license, of course had some difficulties while riding the heavy-duty motorcycle. Especially driving in the snowstorm. Zai Zai is most worried that his body can’t deal with it and affecting the outcome of the filming. When asked if he was worried about safety, Zai Zai laughingly said, “I’m not worried about this. The drama group is more nervous than I am. I have a lot of confidence in their safety precautions.
Zai Zai was very excited to step foot on the Xian Tai’s racing track. He laughingly said that he feels like a “racer.” His only worry is the snowstorm. The progress of the shooting is fairly tight. He wishes that things would run more smoothly today.
While Zai Zai and Da S are in Japan, they’ll be publicizing due to the fact that “Meteor Garden” is currently being broadcasted in Japan. The 2 will be accepting many Japanese media interviews. There were already over 100 Japanese fans gathered at the filming scene today. All of them have seen “Meteor Garden” and fallen in love with Zai Zai and Da S. They were incessantly screaming their Japanese names.

Vic Zhou films in snow, forgets to bring warm apparel 03/07
Vic Zhou, who has always been afraid of the cold, meets up with subzero degrees weather on his visit to Japan to film for his new drama. He immediately calls back to Taiwan to get rescue. His management company prepared thick clothes, warm bundles, and other things that keep you warm at once to hand over to Zai Zai.
Zai Zai is currently in Xian Tai filming for his new drama “Mars.” Not until he arrived in Japan the other day did he discovered that the temperatures were below zero. Only bringing some thick apparel, Zai Zai immediately called back to Taipei to get rescue from his management company. He shouted into the telephone, “So cold!” The staff, knowing that Zai Zai has always been afraid of the cold, quickly sent him a lot of thick clothes as well as a bunch of gloves to keep his hands warm.
When Zai Zai was shooting for his “Remember I Love You” album cover, there was a man-made snow scene. Because only some man-made snow covered the grass, Zai Zai didn’t like it since it wasn’t real enough. Now that he can truly see real snow, Zai Zai is not as excited as he imaged himself to be. Zai Zai, whose chin has been frozen countless times, said, “This is the first time I actually saw snow, but it is so cold that my brain is deadlocked.”
Because of the snowstorm the other day, the shooting couldn’t proceed. Yesterday, the weather improved, only flurrying during the afternoon. The drama group eventually began filming the racing scene. First off was Zai Zai driving a heavy black motorcycle. Due to the fact that F4 are the spokesmen for Yamaha, the four will receive Yamaha as a sponsor when filming dramas.
Zai Zai stepped foot on Xian Tai’s famous Sport Land Sugo racing track yesterday. When he drove a lap around the track on a heavy motorcycle, there were frequent cheers from the field. According to what is known, there were over 300 temporary actors at the scene yesterday. The majority of them are Zai Zai’s Japanese fans. In order to see their idol they went to be temporary actors without receiving any rewards. However, the drama crew already reached an agreement with the fans. During filming they are not allowed to take pictures or get autographs otherwise they will be asked to leave.
Zai Zai, not knowing Japanese, would only smile to greet his Japanese fans. Zai Zai thinks that he has fate with Japan. The majority of the dramas he has acted in are adapted from popular Japanese mangas like “Meteor Garden” and “Poor Prince.” The first time Zai Zai takes a plane out of the country, the destination is also Japan. For the filming of “Meteor Garden I,” when he had the chance he would learn some Japanese so that he can communicate with local fans.

Zaizai denies F4 will split and hopes for a Hong Kong F4 concert
He likes to work with other F4 members.
For one, he does not have to sing too much.
Also, it is very lonely to work by himself.
so at present time there is no plan to appear together as F4.
the four of them eventually have to be on their own.
He immediately denies it.
He also says that he earnestly hopes that F4 can hold concerts again.
The top choice location would be Hong Kong
for Hong Kong fans were most enthusiastic in their last concert tour.
He would very much like to experience it once again.
