During the time China is having anti-Japan protests, Zaizai, DaS, and Lai YaYan will visit China cities, such as Shanghai and Beijing, in May to promote TV series Mars. Because Mars is adapted from Japanese manga, wondering if it will be affected and frightened, DaS is already doing what-if analysis.

Mars DVD distributor invites Zaizai, DaS, and Lai YaYan to China to promote Mars in China. They will have press conferences and meet and greets in selected cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. The TV series is adapted from Japanese manga. Moreover F4 will shoot their 2005 photo album at the end of April and Japan will be the location. Right now China is brewing with anti-Japan sentiment; the situations are rather delicate.

Comic Ritz planner Yang XinYu indicates that this promotion tour has been long planned and will be not cancelled because of China's anti-Japan protests. Entertainment business has nothing to do with politics. She emphasizes that Mars is a Taiwan TV series.

But DaS is really worried about her own safety. DaS' manager XiaoXuan indicates that of course DaS is worried. She has been observing the development of the situations and has simulated various scenarios with the company, including how to deal with if being thrown things at or protested against. She once considered not going.

Regardless, on second thoughts, DaS thinks fans love her and should be sensible. After all she also wants to meet fans whom she hasn't seen for a while.

Zaizai's manager Zhi XiangLi indicates that Zaizai isn't worried at all. Despite that Mars is adapted from Japanese manga, it's made in Taiwan. Besides Zaizai is not Japanese, instead he is a Chinese we can be proud of.

As for whether the photo album's sales in China will be affected by being photographed in Japan, Zhi XiangLi is also not worried.

Lai Yayan's response is the most interesting. She jokes that she is the queen of riots. At the beginning of the year, it happened that Indonesia was having anti-Chinese riots when Mars went there for promotion. Now they are leaving for China and China is having anti-Japan protests, it's quite a coincidence.

Comic Ritz has produced three TV series: Mars, "Magic Ring" and "Starry Night". The latter two will be aired on China's CCTV station in June and July respectively. The stars of those two TV series will also do promotions in China.

Among the three, Mars is the only one which cannot be aired on the TV station. Some people guess it's related to anti-Japan sentiment. But Yang XinYu indicates that it is entirely due to its subject matter and violence that Mars failed to pass the review.

Yesterday at 7am, XWL went to Xin Zhu's "Liu Fu Chun" amusement park to flim. Conincidently, her good friend Vic Zhou appeared at "Liu Fu Chun" as well. Some crew guessed he was here to tan ban , but there were some who said, He's probably just passing by. As to these guessings, XWL was already used to it. She said she was there to work and there isn't a need to talk about other things.

XWL doesn't want to talk about her opinions for a reason. That's because, although she have been recieving shows again and again, the media is never concerned about her works but continously chase about her relationship life. There were a few times when XWL tried to chat more but what the consequences she got was more rumours topics. Thus, when speaking about relationships now, based on her straightfoward character, she would just bring it over with a simple sentance, "I just want to concentrate on my job."

According to the crew, last friday, when the crew went to Shilin's Yang De Da Dao for outdoor fliming. When XWL was fliming, her rumoured "good friend" Zaizai suddenly appeared. He was wearing a cap, and even brought 3 big bags of drinks and food. Other than giving it to his girlfriend to eat, he also distributed to the crew. Director Zhang Zhe Shu was busy directing, when he turned and saw Zaizai, he was a little shocked and said, "He's here again ?" while the rest of the crew thank Zaizai politely.

As the night got darker, XWL wanted to go to the toilet, thus, Zaizai escorted her there and walked here there. After staying there for around one hour and he left first, being able to grasp time to see his girlfriend, he was already satisfied.

When XWL heard new of Zaizai tan ban being exposed, she did not deny and asked, "Who said that ? " She was very careful and professional, afraid of being looked upon by the media again.

Thanks to Ming Sheng Bao.
