Bobby Au Yeung opens mouth laughs, earns so much that he laughs

Bobby Au Yeung opens mouth laughs, earns so much that he laughs

Earlier Bobby Au Yeung arrived in GwoungZhou to film a White Wine advertisement. In Mainland, Bobby has many companies in which he is spokesperson for such as, casual clothing, thermal underwear, laundry detergent and many more. This time he attracted the White Wine company because Bobby's personality is joyful and has a nice smile - perfect for the wine called "Open Mouth Laugh" and Bobby is the best candidate for this product.

In the advertisement, Bobby has a few different appearances and appears as two different persons. One is a person who likes this particular brand's white wines, while the other does not drink that type of white wine but likes another type where there is women who welcome him. Both very different styles, one where he's in a outfit that is completely white representing a successful business man (4th Brother's style). The most funniest thing during filming was, besides that Bobby used boiled water in place of the real wine, he had one taste of the actual wine. He felt that drinking a little bit can help the body be healthy and fit.

Ariel Lin; Tobacco smoking skeleton left a deep impression on her

Ariel attended an activity organised by the National Geographic Channel on the 11th of April, and then she saw the many art pieces of the America photographer Chris Jorden. She feels the piece "The Skeleton with A Cigarette" appeals to her the most because her dad has successfully quit smoking for more than a year already. Looking at that piece of artwork, she would know that if her dad smoke 1 packet less a day, he would be healthier & would also help in reducing pollution.

Ariel expresses that the problem of global warming is becoming quite serious, & she would demand that she do her part to help the environment. Apart from bringing her own utensils, she would also take public transport whenever she could. She also likes to buy environmental friendly bags to give to her relatives & friends, so as to reduce pollution.

Vic Zhou and Ariel Lin collaborating after 7 years

Vic Zhou, who slimmed down after his separation with Barbie Xu, appeared in an exotic relaxation street, he did not look as pale and fatigue as before anymore, instead his handsome and cheery smile was once again displayed on his face. Was it because he found a 'new love', that's why he was being so happy? Facing these suspicions, Vic no longer kept a low profile as he had in the past. He generously sent her flowers, and even instructed his dog to bring a self-made jasmine garland to her.

And this "rumoured girlfriend", was Taiwanese Idol Drama Queen, Ariel Lin.

This will be their collaboration after 7 years. Ariel was the female lead in Vic's debut single, Make A Wish, MV. That time, the two of them had only debuted shortly, and within these 7 years, both of their careers were thriving, Vic is now one of the most popular stars, while Ariel has become one of the Taiwanese idol drama queens after her successes in various idol dramas, such as It Started With A Kiss and They Kiss Again. They will be acting as a couple, who fell in love with each other at first sight, in a commercial for tea.
　　
Speaking of the collaboration this time, the two friends felt that they were very fated to be able to work together again after 7 years. Vic said, the feeling Ariel gives him now is totally different from last time, she has changed from an adorable young girl to a professional actress, while Ariel expressed that after 4 days of filming, it felt like they filmed a small movie. It was the first time she filmed a commercial with a partner for 4 days consecutively, plus, it was not for a drama, so it felt really special.

One thing that was coincident was that in both of the stories Vic and Ariel had filmed, there was a Golden Retriever. Vic and Ariel are dog lovers, and they filmed the commercial happily with the companion of the meek dog.
