Jacky Zhu Fan Gang (祝釩剛), Singer, Actor, Model Rating Options

[JaeAyUmIXxChun]

haha thx for the explanation..haha.. should have thought bout that..hahaha

it seems that from HWG, AQMFS, PTF, Jacky always got the bad character role..hahaha...
but that suit him actually and he acted pretty good..
nonetheless, he does much better on singing and i prefer him to just a singer..

[jairida]

tks for the translation, vanadia.
i guess Jacky might've been briefed abt the rehab program.
but i'm glad that he's there now, the sooner he gets treatment, the better.

he may not have the support from Sun again, but i'm sure he still has it from his fans.
*altho he may lose some of his confidence after this ugly episode*

and like tony said, Jacky needs to do some soul searching during his rehab time..

But I think his characters are different each time although it might not be likeable. I mean in HWG, he's all gangster and tough. In AQMFS, he's a player but sorta funny at times when he's tryng be "Love Saint" or talking w/ the guys. In PTF, ummmmm - didn't watch that properly, only scanned through his scenes but he's sorta a bully in there, huh? *shrugs* Have you ever watch Hi-Fly yet? I think that was his first series. He was decent in t here for his first role. I really like him in there although t he character isn't perfect but he learned in there. He tried and failed but isn't a sore loser. Of course poor Jacky got slapped in there too! I was watching mostly for him in that one, but then I skipped around. He got married in there though. I need to go back and watch properly later the last half of the series since it was quite boring to endure since I only like Benny Chan Ho Man & Jacky in there.

Regarding Jacky as singer, he mentioned in an interview that he preferred singing also, lol. I agree since he gets to develop more in the area than acting.

I saw Hi-Fly earlier this year, and like you DTLCT I was pretty much only watching it for Jacky. Very different character to his other roles: he was a failed airline pilot, but he got the girl in the end (perhaps not the one he was originally proposing to, but he got one! Ah, these crazy dramas...). Then he went with his bride to live in Canada lol. As for the rest of the series, REALLY boring. The last 6 or so episodes were, for me, the most dragged out in any drama I've ever seen (especially when you knew from the outset who was going to wind up with who). Still, I guess it was worth it for those Jacky topless surfing scenes

I was laughing very hard at the end of your post! LOL! True! But nah, it's alright if he isn't topless. But I love his smile and his hairdo in here! And not to mention his mesmerizing eyes! Okay, taking a bit too far but you get the point. The funniest part (at least for me) has got to be the part where

Hidden Text:

they were at the beach and he said he was teaching Tina how to surf (right?) and Benny Chan & his gf were coming along the way. Tina was so shocked 'cause she can't believe she kept running into Benny when she just want to have a fun & relaxing day at the beach (lol), she dropped her surf board and it landed on Jacky's feet! I was laughing so hard. Poor Jacky but still that was very funny! LOL!

And you spoiled their ending for me! LOL! 'Cause I was just skimming around to watch Jacky's parts after the part where he got slapped by Tina. I only saw the wedding. But it's good to know that they're together for real and no more dramas for them.

And I swear Jacky should had sang in this series! 'Cause that one band or whatever, my gosh! Don't like them or their type of music. Or it's just me wanting to hear Jacky sing so bad in that series. LOL!

[JaeAyUmIXxChun]

oh, i never knew that he ever got his first series??
was he the main role there?
thx for the information about that..

[DTLCT]

Of course not. Benny Chan Ho Man was the main lead (which I'm fine with) and this one other dude was 2nd lead (which I don't think he's leading material or maybe his character is just too boring for me). Even my mom got bored with the series 'cause of the 2nd lead dude. She thought Jacky is 2nd lead, lol. Jacky has a better image and his hair is quite neat in there that's why (lol). Okay, back to topic - although Jacky wasn't lead but like Qapint mentioned, he got a happy ending. I really like his character in there though. It's funny how his name is Michael in there too since that's his name in PTIF (lol).

Yeah, two Michaels (not that dramas ever repeat themselves ) I remember in the 183 Club English Test Renfu called Jacky "Michael" when he was asking for the correct answer to a question. What really annoyed me about Hi-Fly though was they had plenty of opportunities to show off JK's talents, but didn't. For example, he said he'd help Benny's sister with her English and even flicked through her english textbook, but didn't say a word! And even though the opening of Hi-Fly shows him singing, he only played this tiny keyboard in the actual drama (maybe they cut a scene?) Anyway, annoying drama for me. If you're a die hard JK fan it's probably worth it to see him in a role where he is good as opposed to bad/playboy, but after he gets married in an ill-fitting white tuxedo he drops out of the soap completely! (Not that I'm bitter or anything )

[DTLCT]

Qapint, exactly! I know what you mean. I try to sit through like half of the series or something or at least up to the point where he got slapped by Tina then I had to skip around. I need to go back and watch properly to understand it more later. Even though I really like Benny Chan HM too but can't sit through it in one sitting. I mean the plot is just killing it with how boring it got that it's not even funny.

And exactly my point! I was looking forward to see Jacky sing too or at least do something really cool. (He did surf but still no justice for his scenes.) I thought that he was going to sing at his bar or something but NO! Gah! And yes, I saw the trailer where there's a part he sings and there are some scenes where he proposed to what's her name? (Benny's sis) I thought he was singing during that scene or something. But the trailer was a bit fast when I saw the preview before I watch the series but GAH! Can't believe he didn't get to do anything like that. That would have been cool though.

I know sounds repetitive, but I can't believe that one dude is 2nd lead! *rant rant* But then again, I'll go back and do some screen-shots of Jacky in that series to make wallpaper later! Kakaka! He's so cute in there!

about Hi-Fly i personaly think that the series is worth it just to see the surf scenes jacky wears these black and white floral board shorts with a kinda hawain pattern
he has a nice wardrobe in the series in another scene-i forget if it is with tina or bennys sister--he wears stonewashed jeans a t-shirt and a black leather jacket

i agree dtlct in the ending titles one time i thought i saw him singing on the stage of the club and i watched, well really i half slept thru all theses episodes, but he never sang He did play something jazzy on the keyboard and bennys sister likedit and clapped but thats it

in the series the boys from bennys fathers traditional dance school are in a band and try to sing some R &B songs really really bad i kept hoping jacky would take over and show them how to do it it was the kind of music he realy likes to sing
well maybe thats for the future
when he gets out of rehab i intend to support him i dont agree with drugs but he is entitled to some mistakes and i love his singing

I thought his wardrobe in this series is quite nice as well. It's quite decent actually. It's classy, but not vain like in PTIF or AQMFS. (Classy aka for the formal ones, lol - not the regular ones that he wear at times.)

Oh my gosh! I know! I thought it was just me wanting Jacky to sing so much that I'm bashing them! LOL! They are terrible! If it was good like some other band, I wouldn't object so much. I would have love to see Jacky go to the stage and demonstrate for them too or at least make up scenes where he taught them music lessons and/or singing lessons or something. Honestly, I would like the series a lot more if they divide the screen time better. I mean some scenes or plot are like quite repetitive with the traingles w/ Tina - Benny - Christine or the other one w/ Benny - Christine - the other guy. It was boring me to death and getting me pissed.

I know what you mean. I would had wish it wasn't true about the drug thing. But I guess now that he's in rehab - at least he's getting helped. And he did apologized. Hope that when he gets out, he'll be cured. It'll be quite hard at first but hope he can somehow get back on his feet and release some solo albums w/ the music that he likes to sing.

[Qapint]

31 Days 'til JK can come out of rehab...
1174 posts until we get a Part 2...
OK, that's my maths for the year done.

My first reaction to your calculations:

But it's really cute that you did that! LOL!

Part 2? Yay! Let's keep going.

Guess he'll be out before X-mas, huh? Let's hope so. And hope it won't be too hard after he got out. Since I think that the hardest part is during the time he's in there.

[DTLCT]

so, he did really use marijuana??

God knows! But the only thing that I guess he could use is for pain after the whole surgery and somehow got addicted by accident? But then again, I'm not him so I wouldn't know and wouldn't want to "make excuse" for him according to "some people". Just hope that he can kick the addiction. He did apologized to fans before he in for rehab though so I'm guessing he really want to get rid of the addiction. *shrugs*

im not an expert on drugs but im not sure if you can get addicted to marijauna in a physical sense but ive heard you can get addicted mentaly
i dont think it is as dangerous as heroin or crack etc but its not good either smoking it alot can lead to mental and emotional problems

if the newspaper articles on this thread including the one my friend translated are right then jacky did test positive for marijuana--at a very high or recent level of use
He was tested back in may but i think he has lived quietly since then probly he has stayed off it if he knew he had to pass another medical when he went into rehab

i think he may not cope with rehab well because i doubt he thinks he has a drugs problem and he has such a high energy restless personality that he will feel bored and cooped up his brother james was very worried about him

not much we can do until he comes out maybe he will bring out an EP or something like that i hope tnagerine will help relaunch his career

[JaeAyUmIXxChun]

hmm.. i knew that he got throat surgery, wasn't he?
i thought that surgery didn't use marijuana for the pain killer during the surgery..
they use Cocain or something, isn't it.. aghh~ i don't know..

if he's not into drug problems.. so why he needs to go to rehab?
so, he god addicted to the marijuana? hmm~

[Vanadia]

there was some info in the taipei times recetly about the drug laws there
here it is


The Narcotics Endangerment Prevention Act (毒品危害防治條例) stipulates that selling or transporting drugs classified as class-three drugs is a criminal offence, but those caught using the drugs do not face criminal charges and cannot be forced to undergo treatment. Instead, minor drug users are fined. (Drugs such as ketamine are class-three drugs)

Under the law, those arrested for using class-one drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, or class-two drugs, such as amphetamines and marijuana, must undergo treatment at a drug rehabilitation center for up to one month.
Those who are seriously addicted and fail a test after one month must undergo further treatment, lasting up to one year.

[mtsdevil]

I heard jacky's back in 183!! Is that true??

[Qapint]

I hardly think he's able to conduct negotiations with Sun Zhong while in rehab. And the last article I read had SZ saying there was a "very slim" chance of Jacky being accepted back into 183 Club -- and JK's the one who left in the first place! I don't doubt his continued close relationship with the other 183 club members, but it doesn't sound like he's angling to get back into Jungiery anytime soon. I'm not waiting around for JK to rejoin 183, I'd rather concentrate on a possible solo career once he comes out of rehab next month.

[真命天子！]

i really hope he is back coz 183 wold be over without him or johnny gone.

it wouldn't be so much 183 as 179ï¼?lol

[dre]

sorry johnny is not leaving the group... he's just leaving for a while.... to play basketball competition.....

[DTLCT]

I'm not waiting around for JK to rejoin 183, I'd rather concentrate on a possible solo career once he comes out of rehab next month.

Same here! I mean I hate to see him "crawling" back when he was the one who left in the first place. That scene is just too much to watch if there is such and I honestly hope not. That would make me lose every ounce of support I have for him. And it would be out of his character to do such a thing. But I do like it that he's still in close contact with the other 183 members. It would be interesting to see how his career will be "re-launched" regarding what happened, but I just hope that he'll get back on his feet no matter what.

i had the idea that jackys leaving Jungiery was kinda mutual decision sun de rong wanted him to go but he wanted to go too But now i wonder if sun de rong already had an idea jacky was under a drugs charge? and wanted to get rid of him?
one thing i forgot to mention about his costumes in hi-fly One time he wears this cool T-shirt with the slogan that says Its All Gravy i hope when he gets out of rehab his life can head in that kinda happy direction again and he can get to sing the kinda songs he likes

[fahrenheit.JIRO]

omg! jacky under drugs.
boohoo. why like this?
hope nothing happens to 183 club(:

[sancey]

aaww that's sad...he's such a bad boy..he has a nice vocal..i cant believe he does those things...for shame....

[*sotong*]

i think somehow he is force lah... but then.. who noes... he grew up in a more open country...

any idea how many more days before he is out??? or he is already out??? i lost count

[DTLCT]

According to Qapint's count and subtracting the days out now, it should be 19 more days.

And I know my efforts are in vain, but I still want to say that one's decision to do something doesn't matter where they grow up in. Yes, they will get influence, but it just depends on will power. I'm not sure what Jacky's case is but hope people would stop blaming on the country, etc. It's not like people in less open countries wouldn't do certain things. (Talking in general not just doing drugs or what not.)

some countries are certainly less strict about marijuana Some places decriminalise personal use marijauna

but i dont think taking anything like that is a good idea I hope jacky gets something out of rehab and maybe finds some new ways of coping with the presure of being an idol

what i think is important now is what he does next If he brings out a solo album with good songs i will support him I think he is entitle to a few mistakes

[MeiBao]

I was just wondering what the address for jacky's blog. Does anyone know? If it's already been posted here, sorry for not seeing it but I haven't quite gone through all 22 pages of this thread

No probs. I was several pages back so I don't blame you since we had quite a few discussions going on. Here's the url again: http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/jackychu66

I actually could remember it on top of my head. It shows you guys how much a life I have and I'm such a stalker! (lol)

JK hasn't updated his blog since he went into rehab, so I'm guessing he doesn't have internet access INSIDE (duhn-duhn-dunh), or he's concentrating on whatever program they have him on.

LOL! Were you stalking every single day? (Just kidding!) I guess it's better to concentrate on the program and get it over with. He can do other stuffs when he's out. That means let's hope that everything went smoothly for him in there regarding the program. It would suck if he is kept for more days or whatever.

I'm sure he's smart enough to follow along with everything so he can get out on the right date (not that I'm hoping he doesn't reform etc as well, of course. Heh). And when he does I hope he makes some sort of public statement like he did before he went in, only this time on his blog so his fans who are less Chinese speaking-inclined know what's going on without us having to track down an obscure newspaper article! Ahem.

I second that! We all know those "reporters" tend to get "creative" with wordings so I rather he would clear it all up for us rather letting media do that. It would get uglier.

[Vanadia]

i agree DTLCT and qapint i think jacky could use his blog more to advance his career Like by giving us his own version of some of the ugly media stories and by letting us know if he plans to bring out an EP or a solo album or is going to be in a new drama or whatever--which i hope allhappens

and a few lines in english on his blog would be nice

on the other hand tho his blog is entertaining coz he just blurts out whats on his mind and it isnt at all comercial its very personal

i hope in rehab he discovers some inner strengths coz i think he probaby has some

[Qapint]

Yes, the inner strength not to go on a Sun De Rong manhunt...

[DTLCT]

on the other hand tho his blog is entertaining coz he just blurts out whats on his mind and it isnt at all comercial its very personal

I agree. At first, I found it strange and weird since I'm not used to celebs' blog being so straight-forward, but I got used to it later. Like you said, he said what's on his mind instead of just trying "promote" stuffs only. His choice of words might not be the most "appropriate" like when he's mad before (of course we do the same too if something like that happened), but at least we know what's going on.

Yes, the inner strength not to go on a Sun De Rong manhunt...

"Sun De Rong manhunt" ? I laughed so hard at that. Sorry. Just funny how you put it but yes...definitely need major inner strength.

[DTLCT]

Any word on JK coming out of rehab?

I thought he was supposed to be "already out" but I guess not or maybe just staying low for now? I'm confused again. So if anyone care to clarify, that would be wonderful.

[Vanadia]

its been more than 40 days since he went in but maybe DTLCT is right and he has avoided the reporters and is lying low?

but does anyone have any definate news?
