Wilber Pan's New Single Features Akon
Crienglish

Taiwan rapper Wilber Pan's new single, "Be with You", featuring American multi-platinum selling rapper Akon, was released Monday via Taiwan's Hit FM radio station.

The track, off Pan's latest album, "007", was recorded earlier this year in Tokyo, Japan, when the foot-injury-plagued singer returned from a 40-day hiatus, according to a press release from Universal Music.

Pan brought a Chinese jacket, traditional Taiwan puppets and a piece of colorful glazed artwork as gifts for Akon. The hip-hop stars apparently had a good time working together – Akon even suggested Pan go on tour with him and invited Pan to his home in Atlanta.

"007", so named because it's Pan's seventh album, will be released on May 22, with pre-order starting May 1.

Will Pan likes older woman; stepping towards the road of becoming a 30 year old man
Saturday May 2, 2009 Taiwan



Source : Nownews
translated by fewfew & PA @ http://asianfanatics.net

Will Pan, who will be releasing his new album on May 22, will be in a featured interview article in <Beauty> magazine. As he walks toward becoming 30, he openly admits that he likes older woman, while the age difference cannot be more than 4 years. He feels that older women knows themselves well and have more life experiences. As for which mature woman he desires in his heart, the Western representative is Angelina Jolie, who has a caring heart while also being extremely sexy; Lin Zhi Ling is the Taiwan representative, but there is one point Pan expresses that he cannot accept..."Is it her squeaky voice?" "haha, it's her height. She's taller than me. I cannot accept that!"

Composing with real emotions; Youthful boy transforms into a mature man

With Pan's performance in <Miss No Good>, it shows that he now has a deeper understanding of acting. When asked whether he would choose acting over singing, he replies without hesitation that he will always choose singing. When asked what new elements are put into the new album, he replied frankly, "Not much..." (Journalist suddenly felt frightened. Is “Pan Shuai” (Handsome Pan) trying to pull an abnormal act?) Then he finally explained, "It all contains my own work." He surely wanted to scare someone for breaking up his sentence like that.

"I like singing and composing because it's like painting or building a house, where you go from nothing to something. There is a story behind every song, that's why there are different emotions." Will's songs always bring a hint of sarcasm, or a powerless feeling towards reality. At the same time, they also show the courage to charge ahead, without holding back. "I like reflecting the reality. My inspiration comes from a lot of news stories, including society news and gossip topics."

A soul that matured early; enlightenment from a basketball God

He has never been worried about turning 30 because it is an imperative part of life. Will Pan believes that he matured early. Since he was the eldest son, his father enrolled him in an American international school at a young age. While studying in the US, he felt the financial burden that had been put on the family, therefore he never had any rich-boy attitude.

When asked for his idol in showbiz, he said it is the God of basketball, Michael Jordan. In additional to his insurmountable skills, more importantly, it is his spirit of never giving up. Michael Jordan's famous quote, "I can accept failure, but I cannot accept not trying", has deeply affected Will. He was able to hold his own against the never-ending wave of newcomers in showbiz. Besides Michael Jordan, the person that he admires the most is his father. His devotion to the family and the way he raised Will has influenced the way Will deals with life.

When Will Pan entered the studio, the first thing he looked for was an IPOD dock. Unfortunately, he was not successful. To make it worst, the editor made him wear a pair of form fitting pants. Watching him unwillingly shove his shirt in, the editor comforted him by saying, "Just bear it for a bit, it will soon be over." He joked that he has not wore a tie since elementary school graduation. Once the camera started rolling, he was possessed with "Pan Shuai Yun" (the handsome Pan spirit), and you couldn’t tell that he was uncomfortable at all.

Will Pan news!!!!!..........

Will Pan sneezes in Epidemic-stricken area causing a false alarm;
Sets a new record with new MV that said to have cost 7 Million dollars



Source : Liberty Times
translated by fewfew'sPA @ http://asianfanatics.net

"Pan Shuai" (Handsome Pan) traveled to Korea to shoot his new music video. Touted as the highest budget in history, the total cost was said to be over 260 million Won (approx. 6.84 million). It is the most expensive Chinese music video is history!

MV production crew consists of an all-star team

The music video shoot for Pan Shuai's new song "Dance for Two" took place in Korea. It was filmed by famous director Zhang Zai He, who has previously worked with Rain and Jeon Ji Hyun. The dance sequence was choreograhed by an exclusive instructor who has worked with BoA. The production was filled with big names, making it an all-star team.

When the Management company did their calculations, the total cost of this music video came to over 6.84 million dollars. From a music industry point of view, it is a generous spending that cannot be matched. Pan Shuai has broken the record when compared to Jay Chou's East Russia Vladivostok MV production in 2004, totaling at 3.5 million, and Stephanie Sun's Egypt production in 2007, which said to have cost 300 million. He was moved and said, "(I) Don't know how so much money was spent. My company treats me well."

Coughs and sneezes caused minor scare

There was a new case of H1N1 confirmed in Korea on the day Pan Shuai flew back to Taiwan. He took off again right away to take part in World Vision's visit to Honduras, and nearby infected areas. Rumors circulated that he was not feeling well, coughing and sneezing, as if he has been "hit".

When he got in touch with his management yesterday, Pan Shuai explained, "Orientals are much more cautious after the SARS experience. We were wearing masks all the time, but the locals are not that worried at all." He called upon everyone to wear masks and wash their hands whenever possible; even the staff joked and called him the "Ambassador of immunization".

Pan Shuai revealed that while he was coughing and sneezing several days ago, he was concerned when the thought of being "hit" came to his mind. Eventually he discovered that the car air conditioning was too strong, and he was fine after turning it off. It turned out to be a false alarm as he didn't have any fever after all.

Wilber Pan not afraid of leg injury; works hard to transform and release album



Source : Nownews
translated by fewfew & PA @ http://asianfanatics.net

Since Will Pan's debut, he has always worked hard towards his musical dreams. He started out as a host, and after hard work and sweat, he became a singer, then transformed into a songwriter and a lyricist. With his superb dancing ability, he has built his own musical territory. He has stuck to his beliefs throughout this journey, while preserving his innocence and gives his best efforts to be his real self.

Will Pan injured his left leg on stage while performing in Beijing last year. It also led to the relapse of his old injuries from 4 years ago. Reminiscing the moment he fell, his first thought was how could he have such bad luck. However, when Will Pan looked back, "To me, it wasn't easy to get this album released. I can't give up on performing just because of my injury. I must do my very best."

During his rehabilitation, not only did Will Pan mature mentally, he also experienced a surge of inspirations. After being absent for 2 years, his new album "007" contains 6 to 7 of his own songs, and he sings them with an even more profound feeling. He explains, "For me, the starting point in the very beginning is the most important. I must hold on to it tightly!" The present Will Pan only cares for producing good music, he can care less if he is popular or not.

This time, Will Pan and Alisa are both spokesperson for "2009 men's uno supermodel contest". Both of them encourage the contestants, "You must have confidence in yourself!" Will pan and Alisa feel that confidence is the key to winning. They hope that contestants can believe in their own talent and take the opportunity to work towards their dream.

Will Pan invites famous Korean star Lee Da Hae to be in his MV, which includes an "almost kiss". (Courtesy of Ju Shi Music)


Will Pan and Lee Da Hae's half kiss leave a clif-hanger
Source : Liberty Times
translated by fewfew @ http://asianfanatics.net

Will Pan invites Lee Da Hae, lead actress of <East of Eden>, to do a <Dance for Two>. Re-enacting a Taiwanese version of <The Bodyguard>, the two shares a passionate scene in the elevator. While Lee Da Hae initiates a kiss...the MV director asks him to look away, and stops him from enjoying the moment.

In the MV, Will Pan plays a bodyguard protecting superstar Lee Da Hae. Both captivate each other, but they cannot be together. Thus, the director has allowed them to have some intimate scenes, but they would "stop on contact". During the rehearsal, Will Pan purposely pretended to be in a struggling state, making Lee Da Hae embarrassed yet unable to hold her laughter.

Lee Da Hae has studied Chinese for 4 years previously and has no trouble communicating with Will Pan. The two are just as playful off screen like a couple. Will Pan volunteers his assistance to practice her Chinese, even offering to cook for her, and invites to take a vacation in Taiwan. But expectedly, he comes up with the line "(I'm) willing to date with marriage in mind." Lee Da Hae laughs and couldn't help but turn her back away. She then tries hard to fan herself out, hoping her flushed cheeks can cool down.

Will Pan's autographing concert event; Not afraid of the parade
Monday May 18, 2009



Source : UDN
translated by fewfew @ http://asianfanatics.net

Will Pan held an autographing concert event yesterday, which was also the same day that the Democratic Progressive Party was having a parade. His record company was afraid that it might create disorder to the event, but Pan did not want to disappoint his fans and insisted on continuing the event. Pan drove a 10 million dollar sports car while entering the stage, and "wiped out" the audience with his realistic water gun, helping his fans lower the heat. The crowd screamed non-stop.

Will Pan performed <Be With You> alone as Akon, the king of hip-hop, is in America. He was covered in sweat as he sang. He revealed that he injured his leg last year due to dancing, and then later recovered after a surgery. But he never thought that there would be another dance routine in the MV co-starring Lee Da Hae . For the sake of perfection, he endured the pain and filmed the dance routine 40 times, making his injury worse.

The two of them had a good time together, but when asked whether there would be a possibility of a spark of love? Pan Shuai (Handsome Pan) expressed that because he loves to joke around, he and Lee Da Hae had many weird conversations. He also revealed that they have already exchanged e-mails, and have invited her to come to Taiwan to have fun some day. As for love, he would like to leave it to fate.

At the event, lucky fans got to take photos with Pan Shuai. One of the lucky fans will also get a chance to be hand-cuffed with her idol for half-an-hour next time. Pan Shuai expressed that he is not afraid of being touched all over by the fan, and even joked that if a male fan is selected, "The criteria will definitely be different if it's a guy! We'll go play…play some basketball!" Fans roared in laughter afterwards.

AHHH i love the whole album!
i will make my mom or my friend preorder it for me! hehe

Hong Kong 007 PanZheMing's (someones name.. dont know who though .. LOL) trip of fantasy

it's really a different experience
i finished filming an advertisement yesterday and went shopping with friends and the hairdresser
after going to my favourite jeans shopping, i saw a very strange person who was holding a camera and pointing it towards us
007, me of course realised and stared back at him telling him i know that you're filming (taking a picture)
we looked at each other for 10 seconds then he greeted me, i then nodded back
but when i came out of another shop, he changed his small camera into a super large camera
he was standing less than a metre away and he started filming me
i turned to the right side.. he then walked to the right side and filmed me. i dont want pictures so i looked to the left, he then walked to the left, ha ha it was sooo funny
i went in the car to go somewhere else then he stopped following me but this is only the first follower (stalker! HAHAHA! )

we then went to a department store and there was a man wearing a white t-shirt with glasses started following us
whichever floor i went to, he would be there 2 minutes later, when i stop, he stops
and took out his phone and kept talking, he also intentionally kept on walking pass my friends and When he was walking pass, his phone would point to us but us 007 isnt afraid of that, but then we started getting hungry then went to eat and he didnt follow anymore

but... its not the end
after eating linch, my friends drove me to the airport express line and farewell, i then went in by myself and sat alone
30 seconds later, a man wearing a white t shirt with a back pack charged in but the car isnt here yet, whats with the hurry i thought
he looked towards my direction then walked towards where i sat and even took out a camera, then i just looked at him in a 007 way
he realised i was looking then put his camera back and directly sat next to me
the car/bus came then he stood up and walked to the front part of the car/bus, the same time, i stood up and went to the other carriage, when he got on the bus/car, he turned around but didnt see me
after i got off and got to the airport, some people walked to the right, some to the left, i turned around to see if that person was still following me
no one followed but the same man was lying on the pole from further away on the opposite side and looked at me without moving at all

3 times in one day i see the "dogs" (paparazzi)
Mr Pan at hong kong used to walk around very freely but now after becoming a 007, it seems like everyones spying on me haha
but i think that the first person who greeted me and said he wants to take picutes of me, i appreciate this type of attitude
you're "open" then i'll be open, i'll respect your job
but those people who sneaks to take pictures, its the same as being thieves

additional event... 007 went shopping around and suprisingly saw "Internal Affairs"'s undercover!! TONY LEUNG!!! he's super hot
my friends went all crazy hahhahahha

actually TaiPei is like this as well but im used to it
anyways, going to Hong Kong this time is quite interesting hahah
007 storyline does happen in real life
