I think I read it on Sina.com a few weeks ago. The Hundred Flowers Awards is kind of like the People's Choice Awards of China. It's voted on by fans and only the top ten box office films are eligible so, GiGi was nominated for "Secret of the Magic Gourd".

Gigi Leung continues to save money to invest in building more Schools in Mainland
Sunday August 31, 2008 Hong Kong
Source: Mingpao
Translated by: kingkongit27 @ asianuniverse.net

Gigi Leung appeared at a music event yesterday. She revealed that she had recently been busy in recording her new Mandarin album. She will not be in Hong Kong next month and will be mainly working in Mainland. She will also be preparing to visit New York to watch a Fashion show. Gigi states that she will not go wild in shopping because the room that she uses as a wardrobe is already full of clothing, so she will have to refrain from buying any more while she's there.

She has always been saving money in building schools for Mainland areas. Currently she has already invested money in building 6 schools in Chung Hing and this will be her 7th. She will continue to follow her target and save money to build more schools. Also the property she is living in was bought by herself so she doesn't need to pay any rent. She hopes that more children will have the chance to study.

Hey guys! You all might like to check out some photos of GiGi @ NY fahion week. Her Japanese fansite hello.ap.teacup.com/gigi/ has some articles and pics of her at Ports 1961. She's looking so chic! Enjoy everyone.

thanks for explaining for me about the award. anyway hope gigi can take an award on that award presentation. anyway the site you provided can you please post the direct link to that site?

[xiaolongbao]

Hi Jupi. Yeah, I tried posting direct links but it didn't work. Did I do it wrong or is it because I'm new to this forum? I'm not sure.

[xiaolongbao]

Results from the Hundred Flowers Awards. Li Bingbing won best actress. Oh well, better luck next time to GiGi. Still she was the only HK star to be nominated so it was a big honor anyway. By the way, check out the HOPE foundation website at hope-ef.org. That's the foundation started by GiGi, Charlie Young, Angelica Lee, and Valen Hsu. Make a donation everyone and help a disadvantaged child get a proper education.

Hello people, i'm a newbie here.

Years ago, to be precisely 1999, i bought a cd featuring Gigi Leung and two other HK singers.
It contains beautiful, techno-esque songs and i love it.
Unfortunately, after only two months, i lost it; i forgot to take the disc out of a cd player of a pc which were thrown away :-(
I've been trying to track down the cd ever since to no avail.

So does the name of a group called Powerstation featuring Gigi Leung rings any bells?

Gigi's wiki page certainly doesn't: no mentioning of Powerstation there.....

Hmm. I have every single one of GiGi's solo albums, but that doesn't sound familiar to me. The only Powerstation I know of is the two aborginese guys from Taiwan, but I don't think they've ever done anything remotely resembling techno. Sounds like interesting stuff. I'd sure like to hear it. Was it some kind of remix album?

[Henk_Lee]

Last night i went digging through thousands of google pics and came up with some new info.

Turned out the group was call e-power and the two other singers are Charlie Yeung and Anita Yuen.
And yes, the descriptions says it's a remix, whatever that means.
Does anyone knows this album and why isn't it in Gigi's wiki page?

No frickin' way! I googled "e-power gigi leung" and there it was. It's still available through buyoyo.com for 102hk$! Man, I know Charlie, Anita, and GiGi are all friends but I never heard of them doing music together. That's mind blowing! I have buy it now and hear it for myself.

[Henk_Lee]

Well, good for you!
I found my cd in Singapore and hope to have it within a week (I live in Europe).

Actually it's not techno, but i don't know how to describe it. They sing in Mandarin.
I hope that , after eluding me for so many years and the cd has taken on epic proportions,
it won't be a dissapointment for me :-)

Yeah, thanks for sharing the info. I never would have known about it otherwise. It's kind of weird "discovering" something she did so many years ago and hearing it for the first time. Well, hope you find it as enjoyable as before.

[Jupi]

wow I haven't be here for awhile first of all I want to say welcome to Henk_Lee and thanks for telling me that gigi have made a song with charlie and anita didn't know that and I have never heard it. Can some of you upload it to share with me? really intresting to how it sounds.
Oh by the way there was a interview clip from the New York fashion show and they interviewed Gigi ^^ I post the clip up here



xiaolongbao
thanks for telling me the result from the Award gigi couldn't attend that award b/C she went to new york to go on that fashion show ^^

[xiaolongbao]

Hi Jupi. Yeah, I saw that interview a few days ago. That's the first time I've heard GiGi speak English extensively. She had some English dialogue in "Roots and Branches" but she's very well spoken. Must be the Catholic school education. Anyway, I heard she's performing at the Qingdao beer festival concert with Fei Yu Ching and Super Junior. It's kind of funny how the big HK stars are hardly ever in HK these days. They're always in the mainland.

[Jupi]

xiaolongbao
ok then but I think there are some fans out here that haven't seen it yet so I just post it up here. Well I have heard her speaking englsih before and her english is very good. I think why she is so good is b/c she really cares about the pronunciation, that's why her mandarin is very good as well. Oh I didn't know she will be on Qingdao beer festival thanks for that information I know that she would attend some singing concert with some other singes like Jimmy Lin but can't remember when it was or where it was.
Well I think gigi is expending to mainland china she is growing bigger and bigger in the mainland market which is really good because it's there the real money are ^^
But it would be good if gigi could spend some time in HK also so we can hear and see her more

[xiaolongbao]

Yeah, there's a saying that's been going around the Chinese entertainment world the last few years. It goes, "If you're not a big star in China, then you're not a big star." The local markets like HK, Taiwan, and Singapore are for the up and comers. The real established stars all have a huge fanbase in the mainland. I guess GiGi has always been more popular with Mandarin speaking audiences. She really became a superstar first in Taiwan. I remember being in Taipei in '97 when she released her first Mandarin album. Man, it was crazy how many people showed up.

[Jupi]

xiaolongbao
Yeah I have heard about that saying as well and I think it's so true I mean the china market are so much bigger then HK, taiwan etc. and alot of singers and actors are going to the mainland market and I think gigi is a hit there right now and you are right she was really big in taiwan but she did lost alot of fans during the ekin, maggie thing. Anyway I'm really happy to know that she is working in mainland b/c I think ppl there are looking on her jobs and performance and doesn't really care how she deal with her private life.
Oh where you in Taipei when she was releasing her first mandarin album? cool did you see her?

[xiaolongbao]

Yeah, I could care less about a star's personal life. That's their own business as long as they're not on drugs or breaking the law, I have no problem with what they do privately. GiGi's even cuter in person. I've seen her in Taipei, HK, and the US. Man, I can't wait for her new album in December. It's been toooooo long a wait for all her fans.

wow have you meet gigi more then once you are so lucky I wish I can meet her someday as well. Yeah I'm also looking forward to her CD to come in December I'm sure that it will be a great one
I agree with you the celebes personal life is their own business we shouldn't judge or anything I mean they are humans too they can't be perfect either.

[xiaolongbao]

I read the article from those pics posted by xtlover and apparently because of the Lehmann Brothers financial collapse GiGi lost a lot of money. It's a good thing she didn't have all her assets in one place. She doesn't seem overly concerned so I'm guessing things are OK.

Gigi Leung with Bryan Adams
Seeing stars at the Tents…and beyond
By Yuan-Kwan Chan



In past seasons of New York Fashion Week, Meniscus has run round-ups of the celebrity sightings, strange events and other happenings in a “Scene at the Tents” piece. This time, we’re breaking up our findings into two articles: one on the stars and another on the scene/VIP suites.

Ports 1961: Swarms of Asian photographers rushed to photograph one front-row A-list actress and singer: Hong Kong star Gigi Leung. Leung, who is no stranger to New York Fashion Week having attended Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2005 show, was seated between Brandy and raspy crooner Bryan Adams, an odd choice until you consider the label’s theme of all-things Canada this season. Speaking of which, one of our photographers had trouble getting in backstage to shoot due to the swarm of television crews trying to film The Cowboy Junkies, who were reportedly already performing.

Gigi had invested a 7 figure sum in her new record
Tuesday October 14, 2008 Hong Kong



Gigi is planning to release her new album early next year. They are primarily Mandarin songs, but there will be 2 songs in Cantonese to cater for the Hong Kong market. Gigi revealed that she has confidence in her new record. She had invested a 7 figure sum of money in it. Although she had invested a lot, she would take it easy. She does not want to put so much pressure on herself. She also stressed that nowadays, it is not easy to make a lot of money in the music industry. She is hoping the market will get better next year. For the last 6 months Gigi had quite a lot of offers to do commercials and promotion activities. She had earned quite a it of money too. Speaking about the global economic crises at the moment, Gig responded " It hasn't affected us that much. My mom had sold hers shares once she had made some money. I feel property investment is still the best investment. When asked about her love life, Gigi laughed "I have a few admirers, but I am only having dinners with them. I am seeing a guy at the moment. He is not from the entertainment circle. I don't think we are at a stage for me to announce yet. I will tell you when the time comes."

I think gigi is concentrating her market in mainland china even her upcoming album is mandarin album. But i'm sure I will like it as much as it would have been a cantonese one. I think she will have some songs written by herself in it. don't know. but It's great to hear that she have put a lot of effort in this album 7 figure it's a lot!

[xiaolongbao]

Anybody know if TVB8 will be televising the annual singing contest this weekend? GiGi's supposed to be a guest.

[Jupi]

xiaolongbao
are u sure gigi was a guest on the singing contest that showed on TVB8? dam if it's true I watch almost half of it and then I give up b/c the competitor was so bad in singing that I couldn't stand it, so I totally missed gigi =(

[xiaolongbao]

Yeah, her fanclub site said that she would be a guest at the contest. I think gigi.cup.com has some pics of her at the event in a cute yellow outfit in the news section. Hehe, I've heard that the singing contest has really gone downhill the last few years. It used to produce so many big stars.

[Jupi]

xiaolongbao
Thanks for telling me., well to bad that I didn't watch the whole show otherwise I would have seen gigi perform. I thought of she would attend b/c she is one of the singers that are great in mandarin but b/c the ppl was so bad so I just skip the whole show

[xiaolongbao]

Hi Jupi. Yeah, I saw the rerun of the contest. It was terrible. Ha ha, but G was great. By the way, I read on sina.com that GiGi is planning a concert tour of the mainland, HK, and Taiwan next year. Hooray!

[Jupi]

xiaolongbao
haha yeah I know the contest was really terrible, I just need to find it and see Gi's performance I'm sure she was great like usual ^^
OH?! it's true? that was a great news if it's I'm so happy to hear that and also really happy for Gi.

[xiaolongbao]

Check out gigi.cup.com for photos of G at a Ferragamo event in Kaoshiung, Taiwan. She looks fab. Gigi hasn't been to Taiwan in a while.

Gigi:Choose the right shoe is like choosing the right partner

Gigi Leung was a guest for the opening of a craftstore in Taiwan yesterady. She explained that to her choosing the right partner is just like chosing a pair of shoes. They have to look good as well as comfortable to wear. But the reporter reminded her that nice shoes may not be comfortable. He was sarcastic to her that she didn't have a good insight in chosing her previous partner. Gigi was very embarrassed by his remark. Gigi replied "I want a pair of shoes that will never hurt my feet and I want them for life. It is very difficult to find." Asked if she has tried any new shoes lately, Gigi laughed "I look for style first and than I will try them on."
