28th-May-2012 10:33 am - JOHN WOO RUMORED TO BE SERIOUSLY ILL
35



Hong Kong director John Woo (吴宇森) has temporarily put aside his busy filming schedules to treat his illness in the US.

As to his health issue, however, there are several explanations doing the rounds.

The most shocking one claims he suffers from laryngeal cancer and has been hospitalized for four months.

Some rumors suggest something is wrong with his heart, while others said he has to undergo pancreas surgery in the US.

If his treatment goes smoothly, the 66-year-old is expected to make a comeback at the end of this year, at the earliest.

Hopefully it's not as serious as they say...

Take a timeless French classic, "Dangerous Liaisons", and whisk it to 1930s Shanghai: a South Korean director pulled off the unlikely stunt in Cannes on Thursday.

"It's a delightful reworking of 'Dangerous Liaisons', a cruel fable with two wonderful actresses," said Edouard Waintrop who picked the selection at the Directors' Fortnight sidebar section of the festival.

The classic 18th-century epistolary novel by Choderlos de Laclos tells the story of two ex-lovers, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, who use sex as a weapon to humiliate others in a perverse form of rivalry.

But their cruel games hit a rock when the marquise dares Valmont to seduce a deeply virtuous widow, named Madame de Tourvel.

The marquise, renamed Madam Mo, is played by Hong-Kong actress Cecilia Cheung, opposite Zhang Ziyi -- who starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" -- as de Tourvel.

Korean director Hur Jin-ho set the Chinese-language film in a sumptuously recreated interwar Shanghai, where the Valmont character -- renamed Xie Yifan and played by South Korea's Jang Dong-gun -- works his way from bedroom to opulent bedroom.

The director said he was contacted by Chinese producers three years ago for the project.

"My Chinese is not very good, but the subject interests me so much that I found the courage to overcome the language barrier," he said after the first screening of the film in Cannes.

I'm really looking forward to this. :3

P.S. Unlike what the MV seems to imply, newcomer Jiang Junfu is the main male lead, with the main love triangle being Liu Shishi- Jiang Junfu -Gulnazar.

The two met when shooting a TV commercial

Pop singer Show Luo (羅志祥) always insists he’s single and available, but actually he’s just broken up with Tia Li (李毓芬).

In response, the devastated Tia drowned in grief and booze at her birthday party on May 11.

The couple’s affair was exposed three years ago when Tia was seen leaving Show’s apartment.

They then turned low-profile to hide their relationship from public attention.

When Show promoted his album in Japan last month, Tia went along. The two held hands when shopping on the street.

After they returned, Tia said she hoped Show could spend more time with her.

Show flatly told her that his mom is always No. 1, then his business, and his girlfriend would always be in No. 3 position.

If you can’t accept it, Show reportedly said, “I hope there’s someone better able to take care of you.”

25th-May-2012 02:18 pm - Dating: Feng Shaofeng and Ni Ni

After caught shopping together by the paparazzi, Feng Shaofeng confirmed he and actress Ni Ni were dating on weibo today.

The heavens let you wait so that you can meet the right person. I’m very happy right now. Thank the heavens for blessing me! @ Ni Ni, ” said Feng Shaofeng on his weibo. Thanks to Bwear for mentioning it!

The two have only appeared at an Elle event together previously, but are rumored to be a Jingle Ma (aka runaway now) movie in the distant future. Ni Ni’s currently filming her second film, this time with Liu Ye, and Feng Shaofeng’s producing his first drama, where he stars opposite Ariel Lin.

Awwww.... I thought Ni Ni and Shawn Dou would've been a good couple.

24th-May-2012 09:21 pm - In3: Beijing’s Hip Hop Pioneers
BIGBANG
If you thought 90s-era AZN pride hit “Got Rice Bitch” or MC Jin’s “Y’all Gonna Learn Chinese” were the end-all be-all of Chinese hip hop, it’s time to update your playlist. While hip-hop remains largely off the mainstream radar, the scene has been growing since the early 00′s when foreign imports like the Eminem movie “8 Mile” popularized the notion of freestyling. The first Iron Mic competition, the country’s biggest annual rap battle, began in 2001, bringing the artistry of Chinese hip-hop to a new level.

Among the leaders of China’s burgeoning underground hip hop scene is 阴三儿 (Yīnsānr), otherwise known as In3. After starting up in 2006, the Beijing trio quickly made a name for themselves with hilarious, vulgar lyrics packed with Beijing slang, and centered on everyday life in China.

They also broke new ground stylistically—in contrast to many of their peers, who modeled their songs after American-style hip-hop, In3 pioneered a new style based on traditional Beijing shuochang (说唱), a form of traditional Chinese storytelling or “story singing.” Check out their 2008 self-release, “Unknown Artist” (《未知艺术家》) or listen to their tracks on their Douban page.
