2/29/2000- A leap year! Yay! This is just a little translation of an article from October. When Zhao Wei visited Hong Kong for the advertising of HZGG II, she was rumored to having dinner with mega-star Stephan Chow. Here's the article!
10/9/1999 Chow admitted that he and Zhao Wei (Chiu Mei) had dinner when she was in Hong Kong for her whirlwind tour last week. Chow revealed that he is impressed by Zhao and finds her very attractive to an audience and admitted that he would like to cast her in a lead role in his next film. However, he denied that they talked business that night, "I just asked her how she played Little Swallow in PRINCESS RETURNING PEARL. I also asked her how she made so many people like her!" In addition, Chow revealed that he will not be making a Lunar New Year picture this year. However, he would be doing a modern-setting action movie that will be released next summer. He stressed that he has not entered into negotiations with Zhao Wei to star in the movie. The movie will start shooting late this year.
2/28/2000-The guy(below) who is replacing Nicky Wu in the New Yin Yu Men Men is named Huang Lai. He is a new famous star in Mainland, China. Qin Yau (Writter of HZGG and YYMM) chosed him because the serie sarring Huang Lai which is showing in Twaiwan right now has gotten real good review. Personally, I wished that YuPen would take his part and play a couple again with Vicki but.....Still, they'll be seeing each other for at least 2-3 months for the serie which will start filming in Shang Hai, Mainland, China, in April. (Start praying!!)
Just a quick little info on "Sia Neu" which Zhao Wei is filming right now with Nicky Wu: During the filming, because Zhao Wei's part is a girl who is great at martial art, Vicki has to NG the scene again and again to get the moves right. Zhao Wei says at an interview that because one one fighting scene, the poor directer got kicked in the face time and again by Vicki as he tried to get a better NG. She has a lot of sympathy for him. Vicki also says that she is trying to lose weight, getting ready for the filming of YYMM in April but as she has nothing to do after work but eat every day...it's tres difficile!(French for Very Difficult! Just a little something I felt like adding! ^_^)
2/16/2000-
2/10/2000-Zhao Wei is now filming "Xia Neu" with Nucky Wu in Guan Dong. She has already finished filming "Xiua Zhan" or "The Duel" (also starring Liu De Hua) and this movie will come out in the middle of this month in Hong Kong.
2/10/2000-There has been alot of rumors about whether Fan Yu Lin was really Zhao Wei's first boyfriend. I've read alot of articles on it too but the information that I gathered was not Zhao Wei never officially went out with Fan Yu Lin. While Fan Yu Lin and Zhao Wei was both attending the Shang Hai Movie School, Fan Yu Lin already had a girlfriend. But because dating was not allowed in school, only the close friends knew about this pair. In the school Fan Yu Lin was a leader, many girls imagined themselves in love with him. Zhao Wei was only a younger student who had only heard of Fan Yu Lin and never really know him. But after filming a movie, "Neu Er Goo" with Fan Yu Lin and his girlfriend, she got to know him pretty well. During one vacation, Fan Yu Lin's girlfriend went back home for a visit. During that time, Zhao Wei and Fan Yu Lin were seem together by alot of people in the school. But nothing serious went on. When his girlfriend came back, Zhao Wei just disappeared from the scene.
But when HZGG came out and Zhao Wei became one of the biggest stars of the year, reporters researched and found out about Fan Yu Lin from Fan Yu Lin's old roommate. This started this entire rumor. After hearing the news, Zhao Wei got really mad. In a public area, she let out her anger at Fan Yu Lin, believing that he started the whole thing because he wanted to take advantage of her popularity with fans. That's when Fan Yu Lin said that he was angry at how Zhao Wei tried to "ruin his image and tint his reputation" and he decided to sue her.
But nothing was done as time went on until a couple of weeks ago, one of Zhao Wei's fan wrote to Fan Yu Lin threatening to commit suicide if he sued her. Using that as an excuse, Fan Yu Lin saved "face" and "gave up" his case.
In my personal opinion, I think that Zhao Wei and Fan Yu Lin might of felt attraction for each other but ended it at mild flirtings. I doubt whether they really dated. I think that Fan Yu Lin saw how popular Zhao Wei has gotten and decided that it was a perfect chance to get even more famous. He had to save face when Zhao Wei questioned and yelled at him for creating rumors by threatening a law case. But the letter from the fan was the perfect excuse to get out of it and it all ended as though he really cared alot about the lives of fans. But hey, that's just my feelings!
2/2/2000-Nicky Wu is not gonna be filming Yin Yu Men Men! Because long before Yin Yu Men Men, Nicky has already signed a contract to film ¡u«L¤kÂô¤ÑÃö¡v"Xia Nu" , there was no way he could film Yin Yu Men Men also. Also, when Xin Yau first asked Nicky to play Yin she thought it was a good idea as Zhao Wei and Nicky will create a new screen couple. But in "Xia Nu" they will play a couple again! They would no than no longer be a new "couple" to the audience! So yes, Xin Yaou has decided to change the main character of "Yin". As for who will take over Nicky's part...well, we'll just have to wait and see!
1/17/2000-While fiming 決戰?amp;#32043;禁之巔, "Zhia.." with Li De Hua, a mega-star, Zhao Wei says that she thinks of Liu as a brother. When asked if she will fall for him because they play lovers in the movie, ZHao Wei answers "no, for I can separate work and personal life easily. Liu De Hua is my idol but that's all there is to it!"
As for Liu De Hua, he is full of praises for Zhao Wei too. He says that she is a good actor, not like what others said, that she can only act Little Swallow's charcter. And all those rumors that spread about her being snobby is fake. She is not at all!
1/17/2000-Zhao Wei and Nicky Wu will become partners again for the filming of two new series,"Sia Nuw.."-俠女闖天關 and "Yin Yu Men Men". In both serie, they will be acting as lovers, but Nicky Wu told papers that he was not afraid of rumors for he already has a girlfriend.
1/16/2000-Alot of papers have recently started printing rumors that Zhao Wei and Fan Bin Bin(the girl from HZGG) do not get along. But now they are saying that at an interview Fan Bin Bin was asked what she thought of Zhao Wei, she said that she didn't care about other people's business. She'll only mine her own. Really rude in my opinion! but who knows whether it is even true?
