Wu Zun forego Ella, go after Charlene

Wu Zun forego Ella, go after Charlene.

Charlene with a cute and bubbly scholarly attire, Taiwan's pretty boy, Wu Zun with a black attire and sword in his hand, Hu Ge with a blue long attire as a martial magistrate. Tam Jun Yan transforms to a one-eyed antagonis. Hong Kong director, Ma Chu Cheng who has been directing 'Butterfly Lover' has been filming in Shanghai for almost half a month. Yesterday, the press went to visit them on set, but the weather was quite bad and the outdoor shooting was cancelled. Main leads have to stay indoors posing and showing stances.

Although its initial name is 'Butterfuly Lover', the director reveals that the story is not about Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Ying Tai. Wu zun as Liang Zhong Shan and Charlene as Zhu Yan are the afterlife of Liang Zhu. The movie is all about the love story of Liang Zhu after they were transformed to butterflies. To show that the move has nothing much to do with Liang Zhu, the director changed the title to 'Sword Butterfly'

Charlene shows her feminine side.

Charlene has to take up the show after her good sister, Gillian quitted. But 'Sword Butterfly' originally wanted Charlene in it. However, she doesn’t have time for this show and hence Gillian took it up for her. The director is pleased that Charlene is back again as the female lead. There was a scene which was originally meant to filmed yesterday which shows charlene leaving home for the first time. She was dressed in scholarly attire and doesn’t know the dangers of society. She was nearly robbed of her jewellery but luckily for her, her senior, Wu Zun is there to save her.

Charlene is all along cute and bubbly and her roles have all along been weird. But the director told the reporters, "This time I want Charlene to show more of her feminine side. Charlene has expressed her character in the movie has more than one side to her character. She is a tomboyish at the starting and very much into the drama; she will change to a very feminine woman. The mood of the first half of the movie is a comedy but it is very tragic at the second half. Charlene said that you will definitely cry when you watch it. She even revealed that she cried many times after reading the story a few times. Also, the director wants to find a butterfly cave/valley to make the movie more realistic.

Wu Zun fight, is hurt badly.

Wu zun has filmed romantic princess before, hana kimi and many idol dramas. He appeared yesterday with a attractive and handsome attire. However, what the audience is interested most is the truth to Wu Zun and Ella's relationship. SHE's member, Ella has expressed to the media that she is dating with someone in the entertainment circle. Even though she refused to give names, everybody has guessed it is Wu Zun who has worked with her before in Hana Kimi. When asked about this yesterday, Wu Zun was shocked and confused. "Dont tell me you guys though it is me? We are just good friends. Her sister's boyfriend is good friends with me so our relationship is not bad" Wu Zun kept shaking his head and appeared to be anxious yet innocent, "She is not talking about me"

Wu Zun appeared to be bored after being asked these questions. However, he became more excited after the reporters asked him of his role in the movie. It was known that the director has invited Chen Xiao Dong to direct the action scenes. He has come up with many beautiful action scenes to coincide with the drama. Wu Zun was very proactive for his first movie. He insisted not using substitute and many martial scenes were real. Even those bump on the door and knock into the wall scenes were executed by him personally without any signs of retreat. In the end, he hurt his hand till it bled. The wound can still be seen clearly till now. But wu zun doesn’t seem bothered by it. "i just want to try it myself. If i use substitute, it will be meaningless."

However, Chen Xiaodong is very scared. "I kept telling him, its okay your hand is injured. But you must protect your handsome face."

In the past he used his mother's name Ye Hui Mei for the name of his album, he also wrote a song called "Listen To Mother's Words", he also gave his mother surprises on Mother's Day, at the time he said he couldn't make it back in time, then he suddenly called her and told her to look out the window, in fact he had organised a romantic fireworks show for his mother.

One time Jay Chou wore the retro shirt his mother bought, at the time his mother couldn't hide her surprise when she saw, she said while touching his head: "Hey! You're wearing this one today!" Jay Chou then showed a bashful smile.

Mother Chou once revealed that before going out they always have a hug, one time, mother Chou forgot to hug, Jay Chou even jeered: "Have you forgotten about something today?" Yesterday there was news about Jay Chou would get a chance to work with Andy Lau in the sequel of "Kung Fu Dunk", but it has already been denied by director Andrew Lau.

"Red Cliff" to embark voyage to Cannes


It's still two months before the public release of John Woo's "Red Cliff". The high-profile production plans a visit to Cannes for the upcoming film festival.

Producer Terence Chang and lead actor Hu Jun showed up at the press conference. Hu plays general Zhao Yun in the production by the internationally acclaimed John Woo.

It took eight months to finish all his scenes. That's longer than planned. But Wood says the extension was due to Hu's excellent performance. The battle of Changbanpo, is a key part of the plot and took up a good deal of the production time.

Hu Jun, Actor, said, "We spent about three seasons shooting that part. The director and producer were impressed by Zhao Yun, and added weight to the role. We started in the spring and filmed through summer and fall."

Posters been released to the public seems to enhance the stature of Zhao Yun. The new image sets a stark contrast to previous versions adaptations.

Cecilia Cheung’s Mom: Daughter & Nicholas Tse Very Much in Love Ready for Another Baby


Cecilia Cheung’s mom invested a six figure sum into a Tsuen Wan sushi store. Yesterday, there was an opening ceremony for the sushi place. Cecilia’s mom wore a braless outfit for the event. She happily announced that she will be spending Mother’s Day with her grandson. She pointed out that Cecilia is focusing on caring for Lucas. Cecilia is ready to have another child and the couple is very much in love. Nicholas Tse and Cecilia have matured after going through so many things together.

Cecilia’s mom and other people have invested into the sushi store. Did Cecilia invest in it also? She said that Cecilia, Cecilia’s sister and she have thought about starting a business together but she did not divulge what type of business it would be. Cecilia and Nicolas’ marriage have widely been reported to have broken down after the celebrity nude picture scandal. Cecilia’s mom emphasized that there were no problems and they are still passionate about each other. She is very relieved about them. Are the skies clearing up for them? She ponders for a while and said: “I don’t know how to describe it! (“Did they become more mature after the incident?”) Yes! They both have matured a lot. They know what they are doing and I don’t need to worry about them.”

Were you by Cecilia’s side when she was unhappy (during the scandal)? She said that she would talk to Cecilia. She would encourage and support her. Did Cecilia ask you for parenting advice? She joked that Cecilia is teaching her a few thing about parenting. Cecilia often goes onto the internet and read books. Cecilia would tell her how different parenting is now compared to her time. Cecilia is rumoured to be pregnant; is that true? She said that she didn’t receive news about it but she knows that Cecilia is prepared to have another baby. Nicholas is also ready for another baby.
