Reported by Ye Jun Yuan in Taipei

Mars Vic Zhou has hurt both hands, so he can only ride a mini version of a power motorcycle to get on the stage of "Yu Le Bai Fen Bai". Unexpectedly, DaS who doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle, says, "I'm most scared of things with wheels. (Note: The Chinese character for wheel is also pronounced as lun.) It happens that Ke You 'Lun' is one of the guests." Everyone present laugh very hard.


Ke You Lun hasn't been around for a while. His skin tone has become very dark and he has also lost a lot of weight. No sooner had he finished the epic drama for his father, "Ai Yu Meng Fei Xiang" (Love and dram fly together.) than he immediately came back to Taiwan to promote the original sound track.

Zaizai, whose right hand is broken, has just had the cast removed. He says that the doctor has put him on observation for a month. If the bone is still not healed by then, it's possible that his right hand may need to be in cast again.

Zai Zai, Da S, Kissing Got So Hot They Started To Sweat
Posted: September 11, 2004


Zhou Yu Min (Zai Zai) and Xu Xi Yuan (Da S) filmed kissing scenes in << Zhan Shen >> (Mars). In the hot summertime, the two wore winter clothes outside and kissed with their sweat dripping. The worse thing was that when the two were into it, Da S bent to scratch an itch. This was all because her leg was attacked by mosquitoes. Originally, her tolerance is astonishing but finally, she could not help it. She described that at that time, the itching made her want to saw off her leg!

Xiao Xiao "dao tie" Zai Zai ; Lets Off a String of Invectives
Posted: September 17, 2004






Xiao Xiao puts her life in danger to "dao tie" Zai Zai, "I was afraid of hugging him too tightly and my eyes were afraid to stare at him. Last time, during the romantic stroll on the beach, it was just a gentle embrace but Zai Zai's fans were putting their all into scolding me on the web. If I took another step, I might be chased and be beaten on the streets!"

In CTS' idol drama << Zhan Shen >> (Mars), there is a strong destroyer, Xiao Xiao, between Zai Zai and Da S. At each critical moment, Xiao Xiao is either vile-tempered or threatening suicide, so much as to being hit by a car, causing utter confusion and driving everyone crazy. In the drama, Xiao Xiao still has not received retribution but has already been scolded like crazy by Zai Zai's fans. Basically, to the point that everyone is wanting to hurt her.

Zai Zai humorously absolved Xiao Xiao of her crime, "In any case, in the drama, I portray a playboy anyway. Just on Ken Ding beach, I have embraced Da S and Xiao Xiao respectively. Everyone need not be too concerned about it."

The << Zhan Shen >> (Mars) cast expressed that outside of work, Xiao Xiao is a complete "sha da jie" (silly). Sometimes, the director has already shouted, "5, 4, 3..." and is about to start filming, Xiao Xiao will suddenly blurt out, "Director, I've thought about it for awhile but there are still a few issues that I can't think through!" The personnel on the set don't know whether to cry or laugh about it.

During one of the shootings, when Xiao Xiao rolls down from the bottom of the stairs, there were continuous NGs. Xiao Xiao was already badly battered from the falls so the director could not bare to have her try agian. He never thought that when Xiao Xiao watched it, she was extremely unsatisfied, directly expressing to Cai Yue Xun, "Can this scene be filmed again?"

* "dao tie" is almost like giving/putting out rather than receiving...basically being at a disadvantage.

Zaizai was forced to drink alcohol when filming a scene

Oct. 2nd, 2004, Da Cheng Bao of Taiwan
Reported by Asan-ge

Zaizai complained yesterday to Asan-ge that he sacrificed tremendously for filming in Director Cai's Mars. He kissed DaS, but it was shot on a mosquito-rampant campus. His body was covered all over with mosquito bites. Another scene where he and another actor, Xiu Jiecai, competed in drinking, they were asked not to use tea for alcohol drinks. In the end, the two big guys got drunk and couldn't walk steadily.

Asan-ge would like to advise Zaizai that Director Cai really meant well and thought far ahead. Starting from now, he is training Zaizai to increase his capability of consuming alcohol to prevent Zaizai from getting drunk and causing problems in late-night pubs in the future, which would be a much bigger issue.

Zaizai, who acts as a playboy in the show plays around with one night stands. There's a scene where he went to Zhong Hotel with this model. Although nothing happened between them in the end, Zaizai felt awkward with the model just wrapped in a towel and he dared not look at her straight in the eye.

"Meet the press in Jakarta"
Posted: September 28, 2004





After waiting for a while, the press conference scheduled for 15.30 at the CJ's Bar started by showing the Mars episode on tv while waiting for the casts of Mars to appear. Slowly, the space was filled by the press and media. The press conference started with the announcement of the rules and regulation regarding the photo sessions and questions for the interview.

Barbie Hsu aka Da S uplifted the situation of the press conference with her friendly warm attitude. Seems like her visit to Indonesia really makes her very happy this time. She appears pretty, and the four cast members seem relaxed - especially Vic and Barbie. The event begin with the introduction. Megan introduced herself first. Vic appeared to be a bit nervous, with his hand still bandaged from injury. However, the tension was broken when Vic started to warm up to his own humour. Our reporters managed to ask him whether his hand is ok. Vic nodded. When one of the reporter shouted,"I love you" Da S replied with sweet smile,"I Love you too".

The photo sessions went on smoothly, despite taking a while. Barbie, Vic, Megan and Shone happily faced the press. Barbie even directed Vic and Shone to look to the direction of the cameras. She seems very elegant, the press did worry when they did not see her at the airport earlier on.

The interview questions allowed were those related to the drama series - no personal questions were allowed. A female reporter asked Barbie about her impression on the kissing scenes with Vic. She replied that the chemistry between them (Barbie and Vic) has been good ever since the filming of MG, therefore, both did not find it difficult to act out the romantic kissing moments naturally.

Looking at the difficult process of filming Mars, Megan - who played an antagonist character stated that she found it a challenge having to act opposite Barbie. Luckily for her, Barbie was generous enough to help her along, especially for the fighting scenes. Vic who had lots of fighting scenes in the series learnt that Shone is a very serious actor, even managed to act out the fighting scene very well - as if they were real. Vic joked and said that he was surprised and at the same time had respect for Shone for his acting skills.

Barbie expressed that the most unforgettable moment for her was a scene with Vic where the background scene fell apart, causing NG, and Vic kept laughing about it. It took a while for the crew to assemble the background scene and they had to pay extra attention to details to ensure nothing was missed out. As for Shone, his most memorable moment was when Vic's character put out his cigarrete on Shone's character's hand. Shone joked and said his hand still has not recovered until now. Barbie quickly added that Shone was kidding.

As for Indonesia, Barbie who has visited Bali, expressed her likeliness for the place, and said she'd love to visit again. Barbie also said that she loves fried rice. Because she's a vegetarian, she actually ordered vegetarian fried rice earlier on at the hotel and she praised the food.

Both Vic and Barbie also praised each other when asked about the difference between themselves after MG. Barbie praised Vic for improvement in his acting skills, and his good look (more handsome), Vic returned the compliment by saying that they have remained close to each other after MG, and Barbie has since look prettier, fairrer, and taller!

In acting out his character, Vic had to learn to race. Vic who loves automobiles, was very enthusiastic when he learnt racing at the racing track in Shuzuka, Japan. HOwever, to avoid any unforeseenable accidents, Vic was replaced by professional stunts during dangerous racing scenes. As for Barbie, she admitted that just like her character, she likes to draw, but not very good at it.

[10/3]Zaizai almost got drunk on the set


Zaizai and Xiu Jiekai drank beers and almost got drunk on the set

2004/10/01 ETToday
Reported by Lin Yiahong


Zaizai and DaS quarreled. In CTS idol drama Mars, a breach had appeared in their relationship. Zaizai asked buddy Xiu Jiekai out to have some drink. In the drama, Zaizai plays a playboy. He not only has to pick up girls, do one-night stand, and shoot pools, he also is good at drinking. Zaizai and Xiu Jiekai almost got drunk on the set for shooting a scene of drinking beers on the bike.


Director Cai Yuexun insisted that similar color drinks such as green tea and wheat tea couldn't be used as substitute. Director Cai, who always works in slow pace to ensure quality, spent almost three hours to shoot a few minutes of footage. Both already felt dizzy at the 5th NG. Zaizai says with a smile, "Afterwards, I didn't know how I finished it. What had been simple dialogues turned out to be more difficult than reciting classical literary Chinese."


On drinking alcohol, Zaizai and Xiu Jiekai are of complete different styles. Zaizai's style is that of being easily agitated and threatened. As long as someone challenges, he will drink stupidly and like crazy. It is the style of a typical honest drinker. Xiu Jiekai, who looks honest, is a different story. He not only knows how to avoid drinking alcohol, but also makes noise on the side to make other people drink more. He's not good at drinking alcohol, but often pretending drinking it using big gestures, so everyone thinks he has drunk a lot, but in fact he hasn't drunk it at all. admits, "What I do can only fool amateurs. If I drink with old hands, I'll immediately blow my cover."


Zaizai has thoroughly sacrificed his image for Mars. For a one-night-stand scene, he rent a motel room at Wugu at midnight. However, they did nothing in three hours; it was a typical case of just chatting under the comforter. Zaizai remembers, "The storyline is that I thought about DaS in my heart, so I regretted it and did nothing. But it was still very embarrassing to watch the model wearing a towel and taking shower." The model with an alluring figure showered behind frosted glass, facing Zaizai . Zaizai felt very shy and embarrassing, keeping his eyes looking at the floor, not daring to look at her at all.
