we cant blame the fans who support one member only... we all have preferences... ZaiZai is my most fave member but i also support the other 3... F4 will always be F4... as Jerry had said, we will always be F4 in each other's eyes...

it's ok to support only 1 F4 member but i dont think it's right to diss the other members... it really irks me when someone disses the other members...

hi, i'm a guest here.i'm not registered but i always come here to read new about f4.after watching MG, i've become a big fan of them.

where did vanness grow up? i know from the u.s. but what city and state? is it really l.a.? my family think it's san francisco because one of the major streets there is van ness.and i've heard that he was named after a street.

Welcome F4 fan =D!

I'm pretty sure that Vanness grew up in L.A. Maybe the street in San Fran is just a coincidence? He's a great guy, and very famous in Asia, but I don't think he's famous enough to have a street named after him in San Fran ^^;;;

i'm the same guest as before..hmm, i might as well make a name, huh?

but oh no, that's not what i meant ^^; i was wondering if he was named AFTER that street.because the san francisco international airport..but i guess i was wrong.

WHO LOVES F4? I USED TO BUT NOT ANYMORE!! I HAV A NEW TARGET!! BUT YEH F4 ARE KUTE!! THEY ALL ARE HANDOSME PPL WHICH IS GOOD BUT THEY ARE NOT TAT POPULAR AS BE4 ANYMORE CAZ THEY ARE JUS NOT TALENT EXCEPT THEIR LOOKS

I'm the one who crazy F4 and my favorite is ZaiZai (Vic Chou)...
It's true that they are handsome and cute, but I don't think that they are not talented. To compare from the past, all of them have improved their performance, not only for acting but also in singing....

Ohhhh lol. Sorry for the mix up ^^. It'd be pretty cool if he was named after the street, lol. Maybe he was, I don't know if San Fran and LA are too far apart =P.

Everysince I started watching "Meteor Garden" I was hook on F4!

i love F4!
they act good and sing good too!

Yes Hills i Agree With you annnd their super popular. It's Amazing their Fame is growing all over asia and even here in Canada ... But, I'm not surprised that their popularity has reached all the way here because look the f4 has the : looks, the talent, the attitude, and the Knowledge. Just suks because they don't notice there are aslo fan here too Well, im speaking from the people who have TFC .... wihtout that i wouldn;'t have known there wa an f4 ! **sigh their so fantastic!

ken smokes. vic used to smoke..he started at 16 or 18..i forgot.. but stopped already cos he want a healthy life

in f4.... i like Vanness the most......he's soo cute and funny......

i prefere him acting because there...he'll show out his true talents and all his funny,sad,happy faces..........

He looks sooooo much better in short hair though...very cute..... hehe......

Hope he'll appear in a new series soon......

hai i big fans of F4, I love them so much, special for JERRY
i don't understand, some people said F4 doesn't have talent? , only looks
i don't thing so, because if they only handsome without good acting
i thing Meteor Garden don't that sukses
for me they can act and sing
I love them song

I agree with you babyval22! 100%!

Though I don't blame fans who later on choose just one flower to support fully (heck! concert tickets are way to expensive! if you watch all four guys every time, they wil run you dry!), I don't think it's fair to diss the other 3. I've had an experience like that before with a Ken fan. She was so mean! She said that she doesn't care if the other 3 won't make it in the biz just as long as Ken becomes popular. Ah! Goodness! I have my faves as well but I'm not like that. I really got worked up after that conversation... oh boy I did. Aish. But, going back (lol!)... If you are truly an F4 fan, you would wish the best for all the boys. No need to keep track of the events in the life of the others who really don't strike your fancy BUT comparing and dissing -- that's a totally different thing! These are four boys with different personalities and from four equaly different backgrounds. It is not right to compare. Each one is good in their own right.

As you've said, the relationship and the bond between the guys are so obvious (and not just FOR SHOW)! So, why should we (their fans) try to break them apart? I don't see the rationale in that. I don't think Jerry would be happy if one day the media would pit him against Zaizai... or any of the flowers against one of the other 3. If we love one of them, we should love (or at least tolerate) who our idol loves.

*big hug*

love F4 4ever
it's such a good band
thanks 4 the picz

Oh boy! I'm so glad that at least someone agrees with me! hahah... I have my personal fave too! But sighs... whenever i see other people dissing fellow F4 members, i get so irritated by their imaturity! (Pardon me if you think this is not the right word to use.) Hahah...

But as much as i may like one more than the other, i love them best when the four of them are together! Haha! The bonds, and maybe the faith, that they have in each other really makes me go argh!!!!

And whenever in articles, they mention about the whole group when interviewing just one member, i would always double read it. As much as i know it's an interview, i still can't help myself but reread it! The way they talk about each other.. Sighs....

The media and public can get so mean at times! Hahah! But whateevr it is, i'll support them for as long as they're still around! Love them lots!

*hugs*

Right on sister! I guess we just have to accept the fact that we have fellow fans who think that way (you know, like, f1 is betterthan f2.. or something like thta ) and we cannot do anything but to try and not be affected by their actions. Okay, MAYBE we could also try to argue with them about this (however I don't think this is a wise option. Lol!)...

Bottomline is, yes, even if you have a certain fave in the bunch, you cannot help but feel this raw sense of happiness when the four of them are together (Hahaha! That sounded so cheesy)... It's really obvious that they are happiest when they all are together working on a project. And, yeah, during interviews, it's like, they cannot help talking about one another! I find that so cute about them.

Sigh. Cannot wait for their concert in March of next year!

i luv everything bout vic!!! but the other members haf their own "pluses" themselves =P

I agree. It's very natural for people to have a favorite out of F4. But they just look so much more vibrant when they're all together. They started out as a group, and that's how people will end up remembering them in the end. Seeing them by themselves just leaves me feeling a sense of loneliness =P. They're not complete without each other! Haha.

Besides, all four are equally successful, equally charming, and equally attractive . No fan of one F4 member should ever bash on another F4 member, that's just sick. Besides, I'm sure that every F4 member would dislike it if they knew their fans were bashing on their close friends. =P

Hahaha.... I so agree with what you said man! Lol. The four of them together, sighs. Even they themselves admits that they get lonely without the other three. Sighs. Really hope they can get to work together on more projects! Sighs. They look much more at ease and natural among themselves! Haha...

And yeah, i think we shouldn't fight it out with people who prefers F1 or F2 to F4. No pt in bringing out that point since we're all entitled to our individual opinions. Haha. But the main pt across to them would be for them to be tactful.

Because, ultimately, they themselves won't like it if they insult that F1 or 2 that they like!

F4 rocks! Can't wait to hear more news about them together! Haha....

For me I don't have a specific fav F4...I love them all...they're all special to me!

But why is in photos, when there is only F2 it is always Vic and Vanness, and not Jerry and Ken, Ken or Vanness etc?

Sometimes I feel they are not as well bonded as I would like them to be

Lhara

Hello!!! I'm a big F4 fan too. Hope we could share infos here about our beloved F4.

hello all!!! i know this is prolly a little late but vanness WAS born in LA, and i believe there's a van ness street in LA too (or close by). there's also one in san fran, and another one in norcal... (mwahaha i'm a huge fan and friends have told me of many many van ness streets everywhere!)... my friend even found a van ness street in boston! (near where i go to school! he said he'll take me there when i get back )

and aghhhhhhhhhhhh i had the greatest pleasure of... meeting him... not long ago... *still in shock* he really is the sweetest, friendliest, most down-to-eath guy!!! wahhh.

and i love f4 together. i think they're having a reunion concert in taiwan next yr? i wish i could gooooo sooooo badly!!!!

I think that it's that way because modt of the time, both of them are able to attend functions together? it's not really necessary actually... Just like the Pepsi event, Vic is with Jerry...

And from what i understand, Vic is on very good terms with Vanness and Ken, and i suppose Jerry as well. Like wise, the same is with vanness or ken, with the other members... haha...

I guess we'll just have to hope that they're really a bunch of good friends as they have always claimed to the reporters! Love them lots!

You met him!??!?!?!?!!? You're so lucky!!! Oh wow!! Haha...

So maybe he WAS named after the street, and I was just wrong ^^;;; Sorry to whoever I made the mistake to!

Oh my, this rumor is still circulating around? When is it going to stop? Jerry was not the one who wanted to go solo. Now Jerry doesn't have any contracts with Comic or Fulong, but he still stays with F4 for group projects. How could he want to go solo?

BTW, some articles from Japan being circulated around as "news" were actually from blog services and some of them did not provide any news media source which published the "news", so it may be news, or it may be fans' personal opinions, therefore, please don't take every piece of "news" too seriously.

thnx to pntip & kenforever

Dear All,

Firstly I would like to talk about Zai Zai’s shooting at QingDao. Zai Zai’s flu is all well now. Yet his mental stress overcomes his physical stress by far. Although we’ve mentioned numerous times not to appear at shooting venues so not to disturb them, and that many fans have been quiet and listens well, I would like to say everyone thinks so of themselves. If artistes are surrounded by fans everyday, inevitably it gives them pressure and hard for him to fall into character. If everyone can try to think from his point of view and you’ll understand.

Moreover, the Taiwan team has always had their own method in contacting staff members, setting schedules and protecting artists, yet China shooting team members love to mingle with fans and everyone as well as release news about their shooting venues, thus there has already been some quarrel between the two. This makes Zai Zai even more uncomfortable, as all this is partially caused by him… Everyone knows about your love and concern for Zai Zai, he’s always showing his happy side to all of you, but underneath he’s undergoing a lot of pressure, get it? Like we’ve been concerned about before, we don’t want any more negative news coming out from this. Anyone who suffers in the end will only be the artiste himself. And if no one cooperates with us, it will only get worse.

Also, the pictures that you share, clothing, site venues, details about the drama does not help with promotions at all. It will only decrease people’s urge to see it, makes the entire team helpless as they feel like they’re working for nothing. If we want to respect what he’s doing, please let him have peace when working, quietly wait and anticipate the final outcome, wouldn’t that be even better?

Alright, also here to answer some questions:

-----Zai Zai’s Candy product in China will have a press release on Sept 5th, Shanghai. You’d better contact their staff to see if fans are allowed into the event. If they would give us tickets we would save them for F4 Official Fan Club members.

-----Ken had worked hard in China during his drama, therefore he has compromised with the company to allow him some time off for his body and mind. He’s enjoying his vacation right now, and we’re anticipating to have him back in his best condition when he comes back.

-----Jerry will attend the Pepsi show in Sept. 23rd, then visit four countries for Oral-B promotional events. Fans are complaining that he doesn’t attend much events, don’t forget that he’s filming a drama. It’s been confirmed that he will not attend the Modeling contest event in November. In addition there are commercials waiting for him to be shot during this drama, of course we cannot interrupt any filming of the filming and disrupt his later schedules.

-----VanNess will attend Hokkaido’s F4 show as guest and also attend Tokyo’s F4 Official launch for Fan Club. Exact time and venue will be confirmed till next week. The fan club launch will partially invite members to attend.

Oh right, everyone has questioned if F4 will attend Disney’s opening as guests? We’d like to say that we’ve never received any invitation whatsoever, only heard it from you, so it’s really an X file.

ive been informed about the chaos going on in here, and this is getting out of hand.
"Guest" please stop posting such vulgar and inappropriate posts and respect members points of views. if you are not an F4 fan, then you are clearly in the wrong thread. also, there is a Critics Hang Out, but that is for constructive critisms only.
i do not hope to see you continuing by posting here if you arent going to contribute. if you do continue to cause trouble, you will be warned.

That sad guest's IP-address has been banned from this forum.

If similar problems exists, then report it to AF-help center so we can take care of it.

Thank you francesca, m1ss and athlonkmf!

Alright guys, back to this reunion we were talking about...

::clapshoutsqueal:: I hope they make another album =D

is this F4's 2nd cd?

does anyone know who sings which songs on the cd? i believe the songs on the cd are:
1. cant help falling in love
2. i love you
3. oh give

6. 单恋的心
7. 男生该独立
8. 让你快乐是我努力的重点
9. 我不能不爱你
10.我怎能让你离开
11.有我一直陪著你
12.愉快的民谣

Dear All,

Last message stirred up some quarrel, I guess this is normal, and I do to like to hear your thoughts and voices, just that it would be deeply appreciated if we can communicate calmly and not cause unrest as a way to vent your emotions. It doesn’t help the problem in any way.

Here I’d like to inform everyone not to disrupt Zai Zai at work, actually it’s not just Zai Zai, but I hope that in the future any F4 fans can cooperate and not interfere with their work, this does not mean that they don’t like their fans, but when shooting jobs are done behind the scenes they are not meant to be out in the open, therefore everyone should be more considerate and think for F4 and their team. I’ve mentioned Zai Zai this time, and that’s because his situation became too serious.

My messages are not directed to anyone or group in particular. Instead, I assume everyone here, like us, care about Zai Zai, therefore I am willing to communicate with you, to let you understand what our company and Zai Zai thinks and the difficulties we face. Even of today there’s been around
a group of 10 or so flying to Qingdao to visit their shooting scene, and we do know whoever who goes to visit. I’m repeating myself again, I hope that you can think before you act, and let him focus on finishing his job

Also please don’t question the times I release of public events, whether it is too early or too late. As part of his managerial company, of course we know best of their schedule. However, I’m too busy to leave messages everyday, second of all there are some news in which I cannot release too early in advance. Sept 5th Media conference, the candy company was considered if they should allow fans to the event, therefore news has not been announced till last week. Initially it’s been decided to let 20 fans in, but after thorough consideration, to prevent any unfairness and injustice from happening, it’s been decided to cancel the ration, changing it purely for media and allow more reporters to attend. In compensation the candy company will hold a function entirely for fans next year, more fans can attend at that time.

The time and venue for VanNess’ Japan Official Fan Club launch has been confirmed. All F4ever members from around the world are invited to attend. Details will be sent to members via e-mail.

Angie Chai promoted new drama in mainland and said frankly that F4 were rebellious children
Posted: August 29, 2005

Angie Chai, who has single-handedly launched the youth band F4 into stardom, is described as Taiwan's most beautiful producer. Recently this reporter interviewed her in Beijing. She was dressed in simple yet meticulous style, exuding the charm and wisdom of a mature woman. Angie Chai said that she came to Beijing for two reasons: One was to promote the new drama she invests; the other was to meet the local artist Song Ning she has signed up. Silence is the latest idol drama that Angie Chai has invested. The cast includes Zhou YuMin and Andy Hui. A special cast member is Park EunHye who played ChangJin's buddy in 'A Jewel in Palace.'

F4 whom she has made into stars now each has his own career. Angie Chai said, "We are still good friends. We sometimes get together. Actually agents and artists are like parents and children. Parents always want to arrange everything for the children. But rebellious children will never just follow parents' intentions when they develop." We chatted about the current hot topic of artists terminate contracts with their agents. Angie Chai said, "If my artists have better chances to grow, I definitely will give them my blessings. If the contracts are not expired, I will even rescind the contracts to help them out. But if artists just want to kick me out after they reach stardom, I won't rescind their contracts readily. It all depends on their motives."

Apple Daily Publication Company, the one responsible for reservations of concerts/shows/events held at the Hongkong Coliseum.
This coliseum is considered to be the Holy Place for concerts, shows, events.
If one celebrity/singer/performer wants to hold concerts in the said venue, management
of the performer MUST submit application forms long time ago because it needs
thorough preparation & thus, needs a longer period for scheduling
Apple Daily and Media Asia (Production company for F4 concerts) they already
have had made reservation a long time ago for a possible Concert of F4 by March
next year, but still no confirmation now.
Plans :
3 concerts or more if the coliseum is available.

As per holding concerts in HK by overseas singers, a lot have proven that concerts
in said country are the best with no limit performance time and most practical in terms
of expenses

Jerry Yan received an estimated 14.75 M earnings this year to become F4’s highest earner
Posted: September 5, 2005


Source: Oriental Daily



F4’s Vic Zhou was recently reported to have received HK$90,000 per day in “Silence” which started F4’ s new all-time high filming rewards. According to sources, among F4, it has always been Jerry Yan who had the highest fee, who is currently filming “BSJT,” but only receives 70,000 per episode, originally a friendly fee for Director Cai Yue Xun. Actually, Jerry’s current fee reaches up to 100,000 per episode, excluding his ad contracts, pictorials and other projects. Therefore, Jerry Yan would be receiving 14.75 M revenues to become F4’s highest earner. Because of Jerry's total 14.75 M income, Zai Zai became second and No.3 is Ken Zhu with 7.10 M earnings and lastly, in the No.4 seat, is Vanness Wu with 5.58 M. The income of these four is also fully considerable.

Among F4, it has always been Jerry Yan who has the highest earnings. However, Vic Zhou recently raised his asking price to 90,000 per episode in “Silence” which also raised himself to be F4’s new highest earner. But in Jerry Yan’s BSJT, he neither collected the 70,000 dollars per episode which according to sources, was the friendly fee he asked from Director Cai Yue Xun. In fact, his current price already reached 100,000 dollars per episode. In the yearly F4 total income, its still Jerry Yan with 14.75 M dollars earnings who rules the top earner crown. Zaizai, because of Jerry’s 14.75M earnings, only came behind him. No3 and No.4 positions went to Ken Zhu and Vanness Wu respectively,

In addition, the newspaper received fax messages from F4 fans indicating that because Vanness Wu is away, and Li Bing Bing will also film in Hongkong for a new film, the director decided to cancel Vanness’ arrival in Hongkong yesterday. The movie company spokesperson also confirmed that they were both coming to Hongkong, but now, only Li Bing Bing came to Hong Kong. Vaness is still in the US. The movie is expected to be delayed for a month.

Um... the currency is NT, and I'm assuming that's the currency they use in Taiwan. I don't know the exact conversions to USD. =P

Matsumoto Jun, from the group Arashi, will be take on the role of Dao Ming Si. Matsumoto Jun expressed that because of his sister's influence he had watched this anime before. At that time he really liked the story and thought that Dao Ming Si was really handsome. He hopes that he'll have a breakthrough performance this time. Matsumoto Jun was one of main figures on the highly rated Japanese drama "Gokusen I." TBS believes that with Matsumoto Jun's experience and popularity he'll be able to bring out the leadership to play the role in "Meteor Garden."

Awwww, this makes me kinda upset!! I mean, F4 is the original! It's really obnoxious when they try and copy the EXACT same thing.

Will they be following the exact plot of MG, or will they be following the exact plot of HYD? Because I know those two plots differed.

I mean, I guess it's only natural that MG be brought back to Japan since it started from a Japanese manga, but stilllllll. I feel like this is just so cheap, all these different groups trying to rip off F4's fame.

And isn't Inoue Mao a bit too cute to be Shan Cai? =P She doesn't look like the fight-back type. But then again, I am HEAVILY HEAVILY biased.

Matsuda Shota LOOKS like Ken though. That was kind of freaky.

Aww, I'm still upset about this, lol.

F4 is still the best though. Er, that is, the TAIWANESE F4 =P

thanks. 14.75 million dollar NT is only 567,307 canadian? thats not alot considering thye are one of the top celebs in taiwan..

Well, everything else in the economy is also relative =). For example, 8 Chinese RMBs equals a USD, which also isn't a lot. But CDs there cost about 5rmb/disc [bootleg] or about 40rmb/disc [legit copy], whereas in America, a CD is about 10 bucks, which is 80rmb, which is still a lot more expensive.

Food and stuff is even cheaper! =D And clothing is cheaper too =D So don't think of as Canadian money, think of it as them making 14.75 Canadian dollars in Canada, except they live in Taiwan.

That was confusing, wasn't it? xP.

Mmm, F4. I wonder how their income is in comparison to other big celebrities, like Wang Lee Hom and Andy Lau.

yes that was very confusing but thanks for trying to explain to me

i think they are going to follow the plot of MG since F4 are really popular and well-liked in Japan right now.
hehe, im glad that F4 made it into the Japanese market, and that the Japanese are remaking an MG because F4, even though the manage originated from Japan itself. =)


F4 favor love between an older women and a younger man
The four members of F4 seem to particularly favor the type of love between an older woman and a younger man. After Yan Chengxu and Lin Zhiling, Wu Jianhao and Xu Ruoxuan, Zhou Yumin and Xu Xiyuan (DaS), lately it is said that member Zhu Xiaotian and Lin Xielei have also sparked love.


The two caught each other's eyes when they were together in Beijing shooting the movie 'The Big Far East International Trial'. Zhu Xiaotian was greatly fascinated by Lin Xielei's maturity. Furthermore, she was once his dream lover. Now that he was at a vantage position, naturally Zhu Xiaotian tried to make use of the opportunity. During the filming, he often went near her and teased her to laugh. He was attentive and took good care of her. Moreover, Zhu Xiaotian can sing and play musical instruments and can also cook a few delicious dishes. He is also experienced in romances. So he quickly won her heart. After returning to Taiwan, the two dates frequently. Their romance looks to be progressing rather well. Their friends all know they are dating.


Zhu Xiaotian used to date girls of his age, but now is going out with Lin Xielei. They have different personalities. She is an introvert and likes to keep a low profile. Moreover, many people pursuit her. He is lively and likes to socialize. So friends don't think their romance is very promising. Some people suspect that this is just a promotion trick for their new movies.

On the other hand, the romance between Zhou Yumin (Zaizai) and DaS seems to be getting clearer. Earlier, rumor had it that DaS had visited Zaizai in Qingdao. As for whether his 'good friend' had shown up, both Zaizai and his manager denied it. But when asked if he hoped DaS would visit him, Zaizai said he certainly hoped so! The more friends visit him, the better it's.

Vanness Wu and Zaizai have become sought-after cover boys

Vanness Wu and Zhou Yumin have graced the covers of several magazines in a very short period of time and are called 'Cover Boys.' Lately it's been said that Vanness has reconciled with Vivian Xu. He will represent F4 and do promotion in Hokkaido. He is prepared for the Japanese media to question him about his romance with Vivian Xu.

After F4 published their photo book in Japan, quite a few magazines have sought them out for taking pictures. Among them, Double V, Vanness and Vic, is the most popular team. There are already 4 magazines on the market featuring them on the covers. Responses to these magazines are great. F2 say smiling that they guarantee to sell magazines. If Jerry and Ken had joined them, the magazines would definitely have sold to the roof in Japan.

'Meteor Garden - F4 World Exhibition' has been held in cities such as Tokyo and Osaka. The circuit exhibition will be held in Sapporo, Hokkaido on Sep. 16. This time Vanness will be its promotion ambassador. He will be in Sapporo on Sep. 21 to meet fans. Earlier, news came out that Vanness had broken up with Vivian whom he had dated for many years. But, lately there are rumors that they have reconciled secretly. Up until now, Vanness hasn't made any comments on it.

The Japanese media are also very interested in their romance. They have been calling Vanness 'Vivian's ex-boyfriend." Because Vivian used to live in Japan, some media even guess that she will be a guide for her boyfriend. Reportedly, Vanness is prepared for the Japanese media to ask him about the status of his relationship with Vivian.

Taiwan-produced idol dramas have become very popular in Japan. Silence is still in production, but a Japan TV station has already bought televising rights. Zaizai as one of the main characters is very excited about it and he hopes it will be broadcast in more areas.
