Vivian Hsu Ruo Xuan cried! Because Taiwan’s representing film group was suppressed by China at Tokyo’s Film Fest, Taiwan’s artists were completely not able to step on the red carpet in their prepared outfits, nor to step on stage, given unequal treatment, Vivian couldn’t help the sadness swelling up. The news director of the film bureau returned to Taiwan with the team in the evening, talking about the suppression they went through, talking of Taiwan’s film welcomed by the Japanese, chokingly couldn’t hold back his upset emotions.

News bureau of film director Frank Chen: “Taiwan film is great! Japanese Ah! Japanese really likes us Taiwan. (Jia You! Jia You!) Once I think of this, I’m a little choked! Sorry! I shouldn’t really behave so impolitely.”

Speaking of Taiwanese film shining internationally, film bureau director Frank Chen was choked into tears, artists traveling along to Tokyo were also in verge of tears; because of suppression by China at the film festival. Director Li Gang: “A one-China issue is of course a bigger problem than a film!”

Director Li Gang didn’t even finish his sentence, Vivian on the side couldn’t hold back and cried, using her hands to wipe tears. Ethan Ruan quickly patted Vivian on the shoulders to comfort her, and showed eye contact with crew members to get tissue. With Vivian in an emotional state, she turned around to cover her emotions.

“Not being able to walk the red carpet is really a unfortunate, the director, Ethan Ruan and Janine Chang drank until the next morning because of this.” Vivian said.

Using Japanese telling the Japanese media of Taiwan’s helplessness, Taiwan artists and director were all in solemn face, since on the evening of the 23rd were prepared to walk the red carpet, then was last minute only to say it was cancelled. Artist Vivian Hsu: “Once Ethan knew, he madly tore his tie off with his hands.”

Laughing and crying after the issue, Vivian could only try to use humour to let it go, but she has posted on her blog of that days incident, picture of the clothing and jeweller that were going to be showed off. As for that evening’s activities, Vivian wore a brand name backless black evening wear, shining for many international photographer’s film. Not only did she use Japanese to voice for Taiwan, but also used fashion to bite back their incident of being suppressed by China.

Sandara Park feels flustered around SHINee’s Minho?

2ne1’s Sandara Park is reported to have made a surprising confession about a “younger man” on the recent recording of ‘Strong Heart‘.

She revealed, “At the end of last year, during a music award show, I got to sit amongst younger men such as SHINee and 2PM. I didn’t know what to do.”

When asked about who made her the most excited, she answered, “SHINee’s Minho, who sat beside me.”

However, Sandara also went on to say that a relationship with Minho would never work out, and it seems her reasoning has drawn a lot of attention. Unfortunately, you’ll have to tune in to find out the answer.

The upcoming episode of ‘Strong Heart’ will also include fellow 2NE1 member Park Bom as well as2PM’s Wooyoung and Nichkhun, Psy, and ZE:A’s Hwang Kwanghee.


[UPDATED]

Sandara Park explains her crush on Minho

During the show, Sandara first revealed her ideal type, saying, “I like someone who is younger than me. He also has to be the opposite of what he looks like. He has to be cute in appearance, but tough in personality. I also want him to be at least older than my brother, Thunder.

She continued by discussing an episode that had happened during last year’s Gayo Daejun, which included Minho, “In 2009’s Gayo Daejun ceremony, Minho was sitting beside me. While I was being carried away by the ceremony, I accidentally yelled out, ‘Wah!’ when the fireworks went off. I, being a female idol member, should say something more like, ‘Omo.’ But after screaming out ‘Wah!,’ I looked at Minho’s shocked (?) expression, and I realized that a relationship with Minho would never work out.

MC Kang Ho Dong then asked her, “Don’t these embarrassing moments always happen in front of someone you like?” to which she expressed, “Yeah.

Vanness thanks GOD for no bed scenes


As
reported previously, Vanness Wu and Lynn Xiong were filming in Paris for their upcoming drama, “Material Queen”. Vanness has been trying his best to avoid intimate scenes due to his Christianity, but he and Lynn had a bed scene in the drama. Fortunately, due to the cold weather in Paris, the bed scene was cancelled and changed to a kissing scene instead. Feeling relieved, Vanness expressed, “Thank God!”

Vanness
broke up with his now ex-girlfriend Arissa just before he left Taiwan for Paris. He revealed to the media that he has already recovered from it, “Regardless of love relationships or work, God is the one giving me strength and power. Whether it’s good or bad, I have to face them all.” There were rumors that the couple broke up because Arissa had a new love interest and/or because of a dissatisfying sex life. Vanness continued to thank God and did not disclose any further details of the break up to the media.

It’s Vanness first time working with Lynn Xiong and he complimented her, saying that she’s very cute, “She’s completely different from her appearance. She’s like a kid, very easy to get along with.” Since Lynn is 179cm tall, whenever the two have to be filmed standing together, Lynn would take off her high heels right away. Van Ness laughed, “The director wanted me to stand on a box, but I refused.”

Golden Bell is airing on Friday, but Vanness won’t be attending as he will be performing in Singapore. He didn’t forget to congratulate his good friend and director Chen Hui-Ling and Jian Man-Shu for their Best Director and Best Actress nominations for “Year of the Rain” respectively, “Hurry and go get your awards! You guys have to win!”

Is Wu Chun hotter than Lee Min Ho?

Goo Hye Sun admitted Wu Chun is more handsome than Lee Min Ho.

South Korean
Goo Hye Sun made the most of her three day stay in Taiwan following her press conference with Fahrenheit member and fellow co-star Wu Chun for the upcoming live action adaptation of "Absolute Boyfriend". During her time with the muscular hunk, the pair had the chance to spend some quality time together to get to know each other over a meal of hot pot. One of the notable highlights of that particular dinner was when Wu Chun showcased his gentlemanly skills in picking out the highly delicious crab meat and offering it to his South Korean guest.

Following the time Hye Sun spent with her future robot love, the Korean actress took the time to meet with 150 of her fans as she played interactive games and gave out personal tokens such as used perfume (
translator's note: WTF?) and an expired personal ID. When the host of the fan meet-and-greet posed the question "Is Wu Chun more handsome than ["Boys Over Flowers" co-star] Lee Min Ho" to Hye Sun, the actress immediately admitted, "Yes!" When followed up with the question as to whether she felt that her answer would offend her previous "Boys" co-star, Hye Sun replied, "If he knew about this, I think he would be a bit sad."

Health is wealth as the saying goes and no one knows it better than Taiwanese actor Jerry Yan. The former F4 member has had to turn down a total of 20 serials, 10 movies and at least 15 endorsements due to his severe gastric problem. The lost deals are estimated to amount to NTD470million ($25million).

He's been working real hard since last year; filming Down With Love, releasing his new album Freedom, and pictorial book 9314 Man & Boy. Other than his promotional appearances, the 33-year-old Taiwanese has not accepted new assignments citing health as his first priority now.

Jerry is reportedly feeling better and was seen at a hair salon in Taipei on Tuesday for a grooming session to prep for his Japan promo shots.

Pinoy Movie Honored at Bogota International Film Festival

Raul Jorolan’s “The Red Shoes” bagged the Mencion de Honor at the recently concluded 27th Bogota Internationasl Film Festival. Held in Colombia, the festival came to an end on Oct. 7 with Colombian films "Retratos De Un Mar de Mentiras" and "La Sangre y la Lluvia" proclaimed as the big winners.

“The Red Shoes,” meanwhile, competed at the BIFF as the only Southeast Asian film in the festival alongside other top films, including this year’s Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner, “Winter’s Bone.”

“The Red Shoes” is a tale of lost love and redemption told in a span of three decades—beginning from 1981’s tragic accident during the construction of the Manila Film Center and the 1986 People Power Revolution, to 2009, when the major characters face the consequences of their actions. Jorolan employed a non-linear narrative style and relied on historical elements to weave his story.

The cinefilipinas blog site describes the movie as such: “It boasts of superb performances by a wonderful cast led by Marvin Agustin and an ingenious story about a filmmaker, footwear, fetishes, Film Center tragedy, forgiveness, forgetful Filipinos, and the follies of the former First Lady.”

The screenplay was a finalist at the 2007 Cinemalaya competition, but the filmmakers put a hold on its production due to budget difficulties. The production later resumes when Unitel stepped in.

After Bogota, the movie will be featured at the 18th China Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in Beijing (from Oct. 11 to 17). It will also compete in the Best Movie category at the first Vietnam International Film Festival will be held in Hanoi from Oct. 17-21, where it will be screened on Oct. 18-19—to be attended by Jorolan, writer James Ladioray and co-star Nikki Gil.

Gil, who is flying to Hanoi on October 19, is nominated in the Best Actress category.

“The Red Shoes” is also slated to be released on DVD this month.
