Ella’s wedding is fast approaching, and her star couldn’t be shining any brighter. She just had a hit movie last month with Zai Zai, and already she’s off promoting her upcoming movie Bad Girls with Mike He. The movie comes out in April and is billed as a rom-com where Ella plays a high school tough girl who gets roped … Continue reading →
Ella and Vic Zhou‘s movie Perfect Two just opened to a grand slam box office showing, easily taking first place over the holiday weekend in Taiwan. If Zai Zai were vindictive he might be mumbling “take that, Black & White!” under his breath, but I think he’s got better things to enjoy these days. In addition to doing the promotional … Continue reading →
Before Ella filmed Perfect Two with Vic Zhou last Summer, she actually filmed another movie first, but said movie is getting a later release date. Pairing up with Mike He, Ella plays the titular head of the Bad Girls, a group of high school rough and tumble girls who form a gang to protect their little village from nefarious elements. … Continue reading →
Perfect Two with Vic Zhou, Ella, Yang Mi, and Xiao Xiao Bin finally premieres this weekend, just in time for the start of Lunar New Year celebrations, capping off a heavy two months of promotional activities for the cast. The movie is a remake by the same director of his own successful 1980s movie, but slightly updated for our more … Continue reading →
Vic Zhou and Ella continue their seemingly interminable promotional tour for their movie Perfect Two, which opens in 3 weeks in Taiwan and Mainland China. If this movie tanks at the box office, it won’t be for the lack of trying. Clearly Zai Zai continues to exhibit all signs that he’s been abducted by an alien (or an Ella) and … Continue reading →
It’s official. Every moody actor on the planet simply must star opposite Ella. It’s better than getting therapy. The woman famously turned Taiwan’s surliest hot shot Jerry Yan into a smiling, laughing, giddy man-boy on the set of Down With Love. Now she’s turned serious and sensitive Vic Zhou into a complete clown. I love it. Ella and Zai Zai … Continue reading →
Not only is Zai Zai looking more and more like Tony Leung, he’s also healthier and happier than I have seen him in years. Seeing Vic Zhou along with Yang Mi and Ella hitting the Chinese variety show circuit to promote their movie Perfect Two (minus Xiao Xiao Bin who is back in Taiwan), I suddenly discovered a ZaiMi craving … Continue reading →
Get this. Vic Zhou’s upcoming movie Perfect Two with Ella will be going almost head-to-head with Mark Chao’s Black & White: Dawn of the First Assault. Is there some sort of karma god in this world that loves to mind frak everyone, because this can’t be a coincidence (not sure which side plotted it). B&W premieres one week before Perfect … Continue reading →
I’m sure everyone’s like “didn’t you just post about this a few days ago?” The answer is no, because a few days ago Vic Zhou was not wearing all black and Xiao Xiao Bin was missing his bright red boy cape. So those two spot-the-difference moments are enough for me to post another round of pictures of Zai Zai and … Continue reading →
What a difference a shave and a few pounds make. Vic Zhou is back in Taiwan after wrapping his period epic movie Saving General Yang, arriving just in time to attend the Golden Horse Awards with Ella to start promotions for their new movie Perfect Two (Chinese title Destiny’s Pair). It’s so good to see my Zai Zai so cheerful … Continue reading →
Taiwan’s most prestigious awards show came and went, and thankfully the results caused no sputtering outrage and mud flinging the way the Golden Bells did last month. Last night’s Golden Horse Awards was a rather muted affair, with some viewers not terribly impressed with the star quality of the nominees and attendees compared to other years. The biggest nomination winner … Continue reading →
Okay, if that picture above didn’t cause you to melt a little inside, you might be the distant cousin of a rock. The upcoming remake of Destiny’s Pair starring Vic Zhou, Xiao Xiao Bin, Ella, and Yang Mi is confirmed to premiere in February 2012. The production released a teaser MV last month that is part sweet-part angst. If you … Continue reading →
It was a gorgeous night in Taipei on October 31st, capping off a perfect fairy tale wedding for Selina Jen (the S in SHE along with Hebe Tian and Ella Chen) to her lawyer bridegroom Richard Chang. Selina, who last October suffered 3rd to 2nd degree burns over 50% of her entire body during an onset explosion while filming a drama … Continue reading →
