Btw, chris_1980 of Vicpower said that she saw on the cover of HK Mingbao Weekly that Park Eun-Hye had food poisoning and her face broke out in red spots. She went back to Korea and was hospitalized, and that probably the reason why [Silence] still hasn't resumed filming in Taiwan.


Get well soon park...

From Laiou2002 of Vicpower

Silence has already started filming today (9/25) in Taipei .

Zaizai only has a small part in today's filming. Today's filming was mostly Andy Hui and Park Eunhye according to Zaizai fans who were informed and then rushed to the set.

Wow! I've seen the trailer and this series looks pretty good...Does anyone know when it'll start airing though?

Continous report on Silence starring F4's Vic.

Report on the Beijing TV Festival held at the Beijing Exhibition Center

BSfan, Sep. 28 - Oct. 31, 2005

Starting from Aug. 24, Beijing TV Festival was held for 3 days to show the current trend in the Chinese TV programming. Taiwan's Comics Ritz which produces F4 TV series such as 'Meteor Garden' also attended the exhibition. The publisher of official web site f4.tv, Bohemian, does a field report on the exhibition.

Every time I come to Beijing, a city with chronic traffic congestion, a new wave of buildings has been constructed. The venue was at the Beijing Exhibition Center near Beijing Zoo. Do you know that there are over 2000 television stations in China? With that many TV stations, now they are consolidated into 8 media groups. At the venue were big TV stations such as China Central TV station (CCTV) to show dramas, variety shows, and music programs which are currently gaining popularity in China.

The current trend of Chinese TV programming is a music audition show, similar to the star discovery show of Japan's popular 'ASAYAN.' It has been receiving high ratings and has become the place where new stars, selected from 1.3 billion people, are born. Big booths were set up to promote shows. In addition, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan's NHK and Dentsu also took part in the exhibition.

The most promoted on the booth of Comics Ritz was Silence starring Taiwan F4's Zaizai, Korea's Park Eunhye of 'A Jewel in the Palace,' which has become a hit in several Asian countries, and Hong Kong's Andy Hui. Megan Lai who acted the part of Qingmei in Mars also stars. They are currently filming in China's Qingdao which is famous for its beer, so they couldn't come to Beijing. Instead producer Angie Chai arrived to promote the drama.

Now Silence is being filmed in the Qingdao location by two separate teams, on streets with beautiful Germany-look and in alleys where you get a glimpse of daily lives of Chinese people. According to the news from the shooting location, it is packed with fans from China and Korea. There are as many as 100 fans staying in the hotel. Though Zaizai was sick for not being used to the place, he is now in good health and starts filming from early morning. He says to the Japanese fan, "Watch it!"

In the coming spring, before unveiling the series to the public, there will be promotions in various Asian countries. Starting from China and Taiwan, the series will be aired in various Asian countries. Like Jerry Yan's 'Giant White Tower Hospital', Silence is one of the highly anticipated Chinese TV series in 2006. It's expected to be aired in Japan.

F4 News from Taiwan

The new drama Silence starring Vic Zhou has gone off to a good start

The first press conference was held in July in Taiwan. The photo on the left was Vic answering questions from the press. The photo on the right was him with a co-star, Korea's popular actress Park Eunhye.

"I want to produce a TV series using Asian staff."'
Producer Chai has realized her long-cherished dream of gathering Asia's best

Vic Zhou's long-awaited latest dram has started. The new drama he stars since Mars is off to a good start. Angie Chai, who has produced several F4 TV series, says "I wanted to produce good Asian works with staff from different countries." She has realized her long-cherished dream. The cast is from Hong and Taiwan, the popular Korean actress Park Eunhye, and popular Hong Kong actor Andy Hui. The staff included a Hong Kong production firm. In August, it would start shooting the China part. What kind of TV series will it be? Like the Taiwan TV series 'Giant white tower' starring Jerry Yan, fans are looking forward to its broadcast in Japan. So here are some words from producer Angie Chai on Silence.

F4 [colonoreferals#598527][font=Century Gothic]DRAMA SPECIAL INTERVIEW

=======

She is not only the originator of F4 dramas but is also a leader in Taiwan TV series.

Chai Zhi Ping, Comics Taiwan producer
Angie Chai

=======

We interviewed producer Angie Chai in Taipei. She was busy everyday, preparing for Vic Zhou's latest drama 'Silence.' She talked about her latest drama and her passion for dramas.

Q: TV series 'Meteor Garden' has been a big hit in Asia. Even now it is still receiving great responses. What do you think of its having such lasting influence?

"That's so, isn't it? At the beginning I had never thought that it would have such a great impact. However, 'meteor Garden' turned out to be a big hit and was particularly favored by young people. So Taiwan's TV production industry increases the production of idol dramas and now it has been established as a separate genre. Young people are quickly trained and engaged in the business of TV series. Young actors and staffers have been provided with good opportunities, but they are still not experienced enough. It's still rather difficult to produce dramas at professional level."

Q: Do you have some ideas about it?

"Yes. For example, for scripts, besides those of Taiwan's writers, we have also used scripts written by Korean writers and adapted from Japanese comics. I want to make a go of it together with experienced people from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. Languages and nationalities don't matter; I want to work together with them to create good Asian dramas."

Q: Have you by any chance already started preparing for it?

"Yes. The latest 'Silence' is produced with international cast and staff. It also includes a Hong Kong production firm and Korean staff."



Q: Is it true that you place great emphasis on dramas you produce carrying messages?

"Yes. Indeed. In the dramas I've produced, each has its own embedded message. For example, for 'Meteor Garden,' the message is that no matter how rich a person is, one can still have true love as long one is sincere. In today's rapidly-changing society, some young people collapse under pressures and some can't get along with their families. For 'Mars', the theme message is how one living in such a difficult society shares precious love with someone else."

Q: What is the theme message of the current 'Silence'?

"For 'Silence,' we each in our lives have our own personal password, a password to open doors. But we don't know what our own personal password is. Modern people live in economically affluent societies. Many of us don't know what we are looking for in life. Some don't know if they will be happy once they reach their goals. Some successfully exert themselves in their professions, but feel very lonely. In our lifetimes, we are influenced by various environmental factors and may feel lost in various situations. But if we just look inside ourselves, we will find our own personal password. As for me, I feel contended and happy as long as I get to enjoy delicious food everyday."

Q: How do you decide on a theme?

"This time, I decide it while discussing with the staff. The character Vic plays is a young master who has everything. Everyone around him envies him. But, one day, he was told that he had only 3 months left to live. Looking back at his life until then, he realizes that nothing he owns is what he really wants. He wants to live a life without regrets. It's a story about him searching for what he really wants in life in the last remaining 3 months."

Q: Has he found what he wants?

"That is a secret (Laugh). When I produce a drama, of course I always want it to be watched by many people. But it's not my utmost consideration. What I consider most important is the message I want to pass. I consider it good if I have the fortune to have one out of ten thousand people feeling something and moved by the drama. It's not possible to produce Meteor Garden-like big hit across Asia in the simple way it was done. But, I absolutely want to once again produce a big hit across Asia, exceeding 'Meteor Garden' and watched by both young and old. It's the goal of our whole firm."

Lastly, to Japanese people who watch "Love Storm", aired on BS TV starting from Sep, the message Chai-san wants to pass is you must be brave when looking for true love.

"Money Today" said it happened on Sep. 25 while "Sports Today" said it was on Sep. 24.

Photos in the Money-Today article.




In the Money Today article, PEH commented that the reason they wore traditional Korean clothes was because it was the first day they started the business.


chris_1980 of Vicpower saw it on bbs tw.bbs.campus.job.

Silence is looking for extras to act as office workers, both men and women over 23 years old.

Translation of said article by Ylstrip of Vicpower

Park and Xu start their own business whichi is to sell Bugogi(烤牛肉）with rice。

Park suggested wearing Hanbok (tranditional Korean clothes) because the first day of business is very special.

So the director agreed her idea, and they delayed the filming until the Hanboks arrived from Korea to Taiwan.

At last, they can start filming on 25th Sep.

Everyone saw Park wearing Hanbok said "beautiful!!".

During filming, all staffs including the director took photos of her using their Movile Phone or digital camera.

Park said it was very pleased to introduce the Korean traditional colthes as a Korean actress.

[9/29]Park Eun-Hye denies pursuing ZaiZai

Park Eun-Hye denies pursuing ZaiZai

Pursuing ZaiZai, and causing Da S’s jealousy? Korean actress Park Eun-Hye said: "How is that possible?" But she still praised ZaiZai without evasion for taking very good care of her, that he is a very nice person.

Park Eun-Hye had a taste of fame because of “Lian Sheng” in the Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum". This year, because she was chosen by the Godmother of Taiwan idol dramas, Chai Zhi Ping, she co-stars with ZaiZai in the idol drama "Silence ~ Shen Qing Mi Ma". At first the two had a language barrier and could chat using gestures with their hands and feet. Afterwards they depended on Chinese, English, Korean, and other languages to communicate. While shooting outdoor scenes in Qingdao, China, crew members on the set revealed that the two of them would often clown around. When ZaiZai is around, Park Eun-Hye’s smile is particularly happy.

And therefore, there were reports afterwards that Park Eun-Hye is pursuing ZaiZai, causing ZaiZai’s bona fide girlfriend Da S to take a little objection to it. After all, even a small grain of sand is not tolerated in a lover’s eyes. Park Eun-Hye said that she is not chasing ZaiZai. She simply feels that ZaiZai is a good person, working together with him feels very nice. Taking very good care of her who came to Taiwan for the first time to film, and the rapport between them is also increasingly better.

Park Eun-Hye looks very delicate, like a rich girl who doesn’t do chores. In fact, she likes cooking very much, also likes sewing clothes. While still studying, she would get high grades in household management.


This image of Park Eun-Hye cooking reminds people of “Lian Sheng” from “Dae Jang Geum”


[2005/09/29 ~ Min Sheng Bao]


Translated by grendel of www.vicpower.net

Park Eun-Hye stews soup, ZaiZai is uninterested?


Lian Sheng’s household skills are first-rate, praises ZaiZai that he's very nice

Reporter Nian Chang Yu/ Taipei

South Korean actress Park Eun-Hye came to Taiwan to film “Silence ~ Shen Qing Mi Ma”. Exhibiting the excellent cooking skills of “Lian Sheng” in “Dae Jang Geum”, when there’s nothing to do she would cook Korean-style for everyone to taste, and can also make “Nu Hong” (?). Onscreen she sews and mends a lot. Off-screen she is also very caring towards the staff and crew and will mend buttons and what nots, full of virtues and qualities. Only "ZaiZai" Zhou Yu Min doesn’t eat the delicious Korean dishes because he is dieting and doesn’t appear very obliging.

Park Eun-Hye's cooking skills in “Dae jang Geum” is very good. A lot of people thought that it was just acting, but after tasting her signature dishes they changed their views praising her: “Even more complete in colour and taste than those in the series.” She privately revealed that, her household skills are actually first-rate, often getting high scores in household management class during high school. Whether it’s sewing clothes, making shirts or skirts, nothing could faze her. While filming a scene in “Silence ~ Shen Qing Mi Ma” where they were rushing to finish a shipment, as soon as she saw the sewing machine, Park Eun-Hye became very excited, stroking it on the spot. She said: “I would make dresses for my own dolls when I was little. When I grew up I made skirts.” Friends would envy her because she always had beautiful skirts to wear.

Has she thought about making “Nu Hong” and her cooking as a side business? Park Eun-Hye said laughingly, “I’m not that good.” Her impression towards working together with ZaiZai for the first time is very nice, praising him openly as a very good person, takes very good care of her who came to film in Taiwan for the first time. The rapport between the two of them while filming is quite good. But when she was asked about the “Da Zai” lian she demonstrated her characteristic as a mute in the series, indicating “I don’t know.”

Not afraid that Da S would get jealous, praise him very nice
Li En Hui, denys chasing Zaizai

Chases Zaizai, caused Da S to be jealous ? Korean star, Li En Hui said, "How can it be ? " However, she still does not avoid saying Zaizai takes care of her well and he's a very good person.

Korean star Li En Hui, Lian Sheng from Da Chang Jing tasted the feeling of being popular. She was being picked by Taiwan's mother of idol dramas, Cai Zhi Ping, to act in the show Silence together with Zaizai. At first, both of them had a language barrier and could only use hand signals. Till the end, they used chinese, english and korean to communicate. Fliming crew revealed that when they were fliming in Qingdao, China, both of them would be playing around all the time. With Zaizai around, Li En Hui's smile was even bigger.

Because of the media's report that Li En Hui was chasing Zaizai, it caused Da S, Zaizai's genuine girlfriend to be affected. After all, a lover eyes cannot squeeze in another stone. Li En Hui says there is no such thing, she only finds Zaizai a very good person and the feeling of working with him is nice. He takes care of her whose first time in Taiwan and their humor gets better.

Thanks to Ming Sheng Bao.

i apologize if someone has already clarified but i had to do a quick skim of the topic.. so i was wondering what language this will be in? chinese-mandarin? i mean since its a taiwanese drama i assume it will be... but the main actress is korean... so her voice will be dubbed? that kinda sucks. and i don't think andy hui has good mandarin... so that is going to a little choppy too right?

hmmm.... they sure are spending a lot on this series... must have high expectations

it will be in mandarin...

Korean actress park eun hye is MUTE here.. so she uses Sign Language..

As for Andy Hui, he will speak mandarin.. i think he's good in it. in the press conference, he spoke mandarin.

Angie Cai, producer, emphasized there will be no dubbing for this series

Xu Zhi An : Zaizai makes people hate him

Da S and Zaizai who is in love, appeared at the Silence set holding hands in the middle of the night. And this, provoked the other male lead in the show, Andy Hui. He said half fakely and half truly, "Whenever i see Zaizai, i'm not shuang. In the show, we're love rivals, maybe it's because i'm too engrossed in the show, after the acting ended, i still hate him from within."

In order for Andy Hui and Park Eun Hye to be able to speak in front of the media, the filming crew specially created a "zaizai' topic. When Andy Hui saw the big stone in his heart lifted, he immediately said, "Zaizai makes people hate him, he stole my girlfriend in the show. But i don't know why, whenever i see him privately, i would feel unhappy. There was once when he treated me to coffee, i didn't even want to drink a sip."

Ask if Andy Hui saw Da S coming to the set to tan ban ? He looked left and right and said, "Who? Who saw it ?" And refuse to reply directly, later he added, "Of course i know Da S." Both Park Eun Hye and Andy Hui didn't excatly say Da S came to the set. However, the working crew all say," Yes, Da S did come for tan ban, both of them were holding hands that night.ahyo, can't say anymore, Zaizai would get angry."

Thanks to Lian He Bao.

D@mnation!!!

why do they have to put malice to everything

When ZZ isn't filming, he acts like an idiot
Posted: October 6, 2005


ZZ goes to Keelung to film. He, who loves to fool around, would often do different expressions and motions, looking like he's trying to act like an idiot.

Today is Da S' birthday and it's also her first birthday after Da Zai Lian was made public. For the entire day yesterday he was at Keelung Naval Hospital filming. He was in a really good mood and "played idiot" while filming. He took advantage of free time and did "ah gan"'s expression to the drama crew.

Cracking silly jokes
Rumors say that Da S was jealous when ZZ and Korean actress Park Eun-hye cooperated in "Silence - Shen Qing Mi Ma" and there were reports saying the female lead was interested in the male lead. Afterwards Da S immediately became more alert and in order to prevent his girlfriend from worrying, yesterday ZZ avoided playing around with Park Eun-hye at the filming site as much as possible and simply just played with himself!

Yesterday reporters were at the filming location and found that ZZ's mood was especially good. When he arrived at the scene in the morning, he was helped with his appearance to fit the his role. ZZ wore a dark colored suit and was quite handsome. Furthermore, the scene being filmed at Keelung Naval Hospital was rather solemn, only seeing ZZ being all serious for a while and then at other times he take the chance to crack some jokes. Later ZZ tried hard to do a "ah gan" expression for the cameraman. Getting more hyper as he played around, he simply dancing with joy, hitting the "peak of silliness." He almost drove the drama crew crazy. Everyone wanted to laugh but found it embarrassing to do so. Never thought that ZZ also had the talent for comedy.

Park Eun-hye ate from lunch box, ZZ ate at in cafeteria
Although female lead Park Eun-hye was also at the scene filming yesterday but because she didn't really have any scenes with ZZ, the two didn't interact much, also not knowing that outside rumors are spreading that "Park Eun-hye is trying electrifying ZZ."

During lunch break Park Eun-hye ate her lunch box outside like everyone else. Only ZZ and his assistant went to the hospital's cafeteria to eat. When there was free time ZZ would play around with the staff members, otherwise he would disappear into the car and catch up on some sleep.

Today is Da S' birthday, the two are very sweet
Perhaps it's because Da Zai Lian was exposed after a car accident, everyone knows that ZZ's heart belongs to someone. Plus, today is Da S' birthday, the two are very sweet. It's not that easy for a "3rd party" to get between them.

Because of this, he's so strict on others that he's almost merciless. This is until his doctor tells him that he has liver cancer with only 1 year to live and when he meets Zhao Shen Shen again. Wei Yi slowly changes because of Shen Shen and lives the last 365 days of his life nicely. Gradually he understands the meaning of pursuing life and love.

Zhao Shen Shen (portrayed by Park Eun-hye)

But this didn't bring complete misery, but instead it helped her to better understand how to use her heart to listen to and understand others.

Although on the surface it seems that Zuo Jun refuses to admit he's wrong, inside he holds himself responsible. To make up for his wrongdoing, he decides to protect Shen Shen from any kind of harm and unconsciously falls in love with Shen Shen. He's convinced that he's the only one who can give her happiness. In the name of love, he blocks Shen Shen and Wei Yi from development and doesn't hesitate to do sinful things. This is all because he wants to keep the girl at his side.

the vicpower jms who got to take the pictures requested not to post it anywhere.
i think some crew from Silence requested fans who got to take pictures not to make it public.

like with the silence press conference before, Ah Juan requested not to post pics the fnas took until there are professional pics that will come out (sina, tom.com).

THe korean artress from Dae Jang Guem is going be in this series, that would be very exciting. Is Andy Hui in this serie, how come i see him in the premiere clip

yes andy hui is in the drama as well

leads are taiwan-korea, and HK

it's a rather long series... 30- episodes

Whoa I think the DaS vs. Eun-Hye love rivalry thing is wayyy overrated. Just because Eun-Hye is nice to Vic, people think she's interested in him; then why don't they spread rumours about her being interested in the rest of the production crew as well, she's nice to them too, isn't she?

Besides, there are so many hot guys in South Korea, Eun-Hye doesn't need to go for Vic at all!

Heheh. No offence to the DaS fans out there... but if I were Vic and I weren't already attached to DaS, and I had a choice between her and Eun-Hye, I'd go for Eun-Hye. She's way prettier and seems to have a much more interesting personality!

Thanks so much freakazoid for the ZZ pics!

He looks like he has so much fun between shooting!
*wishes I was there*
I love the one where he's praying.

The media is turning every girl ZZ is talks to into another scandal.

I can't wait for this series to come out. 2006..that's a long time. I hope they'll move the airing date earlier. This sounds like a sad love story. I should buy more tissues and save it...hehe.

Ah I can't wait to see the drama!! the preview looks really good!! !

Why did they pick a korean person? Isn't it just easier to pick someone who naturally speaks Chinese?
And the storyline seems kind of over dramatic... a person who is in jail, another who is dying, and another who can't talk?

Update

On Oct. 22, 005, Andy Hui was in Hong Kong to be a judge of some contest. He returned to Taiwan on the night of Oct. 23, 2005.

He mentioned in an interview while he was in Hong Kong that he would finish his part of Silence filming on Nov. 11, 2005.


PS: His schedule matches what was previously published in Korean news that Park Eunhye will leave Taiwan around the first third of Nov to start working on her Japanese TV series co-produced by Japan and Korea

UPDATE on SILENCE



BTW, Park Eunhye is also in Hong Kong. She will stay in Hong Kong from Oct. 20, 2005 until Oct. 27. 2005 to do promotions for a cosmetics company she represents.

She arrived in Hong Kong on Oct. 20, 2005. She gave a very short interview at the airport. [b]She said in the interview that Zaizai was very nice and worked diligently and helped and guided her in acting her role.

Only the part related to Zaizai and Silence is translated.

=============
.... Andy had left the showbiz for over two years and has now returned.

....

Once Andy returned to the showbiz, he immediately receives a few offers. Right now he appears in Angie Chai's new drama, Silence. He acts as a foreman and has many scenes opposite Zaizai who acts as the president of the company. ......

----
In the ETToday news about Zaizai's absence from school celebration, the last paragraph was about Zaizai's assistant talking about Zaizai's reaction to the Golden-Bell-awards nominations. vicpower Chinese news

translation of the last paragraph:

A few days ago, Zaizai's 'Mars' was voted the most popular TV series. But only director Cai has made to the nomination list, not Zaizai. Lu Shujuan says smiling that Zaizai's filming schedule is so tight that he pays no heed to the outside world. He treats his not being nominated with a normal mentality. In addition, he always reminds and cautions himself to work harder.



On the photo, I've never had any girlfriend younger than I.

A million thank you's to zaizai_f4_only, zaifreak, and Da_A for the four image gifs!!!!
I can't wait to watch "Silence" when they finally finish filming and it comes out. It looks really sweet, and it also looks like I might have to go through boxes of tissues for this drama series. Vic Zhou looks so fine! Park Eun Hye is also very pretty. Plus, the media and news press need to stop making such a big deal out of zai and park eun hye talking together. The media always try to find new ways to come up with fake news articles. And the media is also making Park Eun Hye look bad by coming up with all these nonsense rumors about her trying to steal Vic away from Barbie. But I don't think Park Eun Hye is that kind of girl at all.

From Grendel

There was news about Park Eun-Hye in yesterday's (10/25) news on the entertqainment show Yulexingtiandi. She talked a little about ZaiZai and Silence. This was likely taken in the same interview as news articles a few days ago about Ms. Park saying that ZaiZai is a very kind and good person, and that he has helped her a lot in acting. Here are some parts not mentioned in that news article before.


posted by ￡笑笑￡ of Vicpower

Speaking about the rumours between the two of them, she said that ZaiZai did not intentionally distance himself from her just because of it. She also said that she doesn't really know if whether ZaiZai has a girlfriend or not. (She probably anticipated that she would have to indicate that she didn't see Da S visit ZaiZai on the set!)

There's a scene in "Shen Qing Mi Ma" of Ms. Park saving ZaiZai (by the pool?) Because she doesn't know how to swim before this, they filmed there for 3 hours before they could finish. ZaiZai probably helped her a lot during this scene!
