ZZ Shanghai Kang Shi Fu media conference news (Sina)
Translated by sytwo at Asianfanatics.net
VO : ZZ Zhou Yumin arrived in Shanghai on 6th Sept to hold a media conference and fan meeting for Kang Shi Fu tea which he is acting as endorser. This is the first time ZZ endorse a tea product and he felt that his personality has close similarities to the tea.
(Shows ZZ singing Make A Wish)
VO : Always appearing with a good boy image, this time ZZ appeared with purple-coloured (or dyed) hair. He said this is to experiment and prepare for the F4 Japan concert. And they will be discussing with the Japan staff/ organizers if this new style is suited for the concert.
ZZ : It has been confirmed that the drama I am shooting, B&W, cannot be completed before the concert. So then I thought of trying different new styles and cutting my hair so that we can have a meeting with the Japan staff/ organizers and ask if they like the effect of this look.
(sytwo : This means that this hairstyle/ color may or may not be ZZs final look for the Japan F4 concert. Depends on feedback from the Japan side. I am sure the Japanese stylist will make ZZ look super good as we can see from all the previous Japan photo shots.)
VO : There was news that Fan Bing Bing hope to get ZZ to participate in Sing Ta Pan (New Taipan?). ZZ do not know Fan Bing Bing well. They met once in an airplane but ZZ did not manage to greet her and felt regretful. He hope to be able to collaborate with FBB and make a new friend.
ZZ : I do not know FBB well. (laughing). There was once we met in an airplane (or in the same plane), and it was only after we have disembark that my manager told me Actually the person sitting beside you was FBB. But I was asleep throughout the whole flight and did not know. (laughed again). So I felt regretful because I did not manage to greet her and missed making a new friend. Lets see if this time we will really get to collaborate. If yes, I hope to make another good friend in this entertainment industry.
(sytwo : Bua ha ha ha!! I find the story of ZZ asleep on the plane and not knowing FBB was beside him absolutely hilarious. And so typical of ZZ. I wonder if FBB was rather offended that ZZ totally ignored her and did not even know who she was. Maybe thats why she is now so interested to invite ZZ to act with her in her dramas. LOL!! I bet if they meet again, she will remind him about the airplane incident. Aiyoh, ZZ is such a funny guy!!)
Zai revealed for Jp concert: "This time will be closer to the fans, perhaps we will appear from audience area during performance " As to whether will prepare surprised for fans, Zai laughed and said he has used up all he can think of for 2006 HK concert, so this time he will arrange some fun segments.
When asked abt his new image, he expressed he has been trying out different images for the concert. Other F3 are very satisfied on his new look. For number of shows increased from 4 to 7 shows, Zai said he felt more worried than happy when he heard of the news. Worried that his performance will not meet fans expectations... However, he is looking forward to F4 reunion, they will be very happy to be on stage together. "Many fans hope that F4 will be able to perform on stage together, these few years, we have our own solo songs, so for the concert we will not need to sing other singer's songs. Believe we will definately bring interesting performances for the fans."

Reporter : After 8 years in the entertainment industry, what have you gone through and what has changed in your life? (sytwo : cant hear this very clearly).
ZZ : My original personality did not change. But my efforts and attitude towards the entertainment industry has changed, mainly because I started to become interested in various areas of performance within the entertainment industry. I found that acting is a very enjoyable thing and want to keep on acting and am motivated to continue on. This is the biggest change.
Reporter : Previously you appeared in Taipei with stubbles and now . (sytwo : not sure of this part). Do you want to keep on changing (your looks)?
ZZ : Actually, thats not really true. The reason I had stubbles is because one morning I woke up to go to work and when I got out the door, I suddenly realize that I have not shaven. So I thot What should I do, what should I do? And since I do not know how to use a manual shaver because my skin will get .(sytwo : cant catch this part). So I asked my stylist (?) what I should do in this situation. He said you can touch up a bit (sytwo : not sure of this part) and the final effect was not bad. And we happen to use this look in several photography for newspapers and magazine. It gives a different feel and I think its quite good.
Reporter : You have just completed the movie Tea Fight. Are you satisfied with your performance in Tea Fight?
ZZ : Personally, I am very satisfied. I was also able to act as someone who is very bad but actually good inside. Of course many movies are also like that and finally there is a happy ending, the bad will become good when he finds the right direction. Throughout the filming process, I was very happy as I was able to act as the black tea market triad head.
Reporter : Linger is your first movie but the box office was not so good. Did you feel pressured when the movie started to screen?
ZZ : No, I did not. Because when I first got the script for Linger, I was quite clear that this movie is not meant for mass audience. That is something that we should understand. So through this movie, if I am able to find out what I can learn as an actor ..what I learnt the most from Linger is how Dir To directed and shot this movie, the camera angle (etc etc.). So in actual fact, I dont care too much about the box office. The more important thing after completing the filming is whether I felt glad that I participated in this movie. If I participated reluctantly in a movie, but is a commercial film and in the end it enjoys good box office, I will not really feel especially happy
(sytwo : ZZ is truly a learning actor. He is always so hungry to learn more and more all the time, continuously and in every work he participates in. Sometimes even at the expense of popularity and ranking. You can almost say that ZZ is *reckless* when it comes to this. I recall ZZ said in the KXLL interview (for his album promotion) that he used to think that F4 is just *something* that is very popular. Maybe that is why he is now relentless pursuing his significance and standing in the entertainment industry as an accomplished and respected actor, appreciated for his contribution in performance rather than for ranking and popularity.)
Reporter : Do you also normally watch these type of movies at home?
ZZ : My range of movies is very wide.
Reporter : Even the types like Stephen Chow?
ZZ : Yes, I will watch comedies and wu li tou humour (illogical humor) like the ones from Stephen Chow and Wu-zu (Martial Arts) films that my friends recommend or say watch the performance of so-and-so. I will also rent these shows . Thats how I enjoy different movies .
Reporter : Do you have a goal for the type of actor you want to become? Like the actors that you idolize.
ZZ : I idolize many actors.
Reporter : Andy Lau?
ZZ : Andy Kau is someone I definitely idolize, so dont need to say too much. I also like Tony Leung, Liang Chia Hwei (Leung Ka Wai), Simon Yam, Chang Chia Hui (?). Do you know Chang Chia Hui? He is one actor who has very strong purpose. Although in many areas, people may not see Chang Chia Hui in the same league as Tony Leung. But to me, I can see his sacrifice and efforts in each movie performance and feel that he is an exemplary artiste that I can really learn from. So I really like him.
Reporter : Director To said that you are a very intelligent person. But last time you gave the impression that you are not someone who talks well or a lot. How do you feel about yourself? (sytwo : I cant hear the question here very clearly.)
ZZ : I feel that I have found my main purpose and goal in the entertainment industry. If you know me from last time, I am someone who does not talk and does not like to say much. But that does not mean that I do not know how to talk, its because at that time I did not know what I wanted. I just sit at the side, and do what I needed to do. So during that period, I was very lost and do not have any direction, and do not know what I was doing. But when I started to fall in love with acting and the entertainment industry, then in whatever work that I accept including representing a product, I make sure that I do my best and make all efforts to bring it to the highest level.
Reporter : Are you going to put all your focus on movies for your future development in the entertainment industry?
ZZ : No, its will not be just on movies alone. As long as it allows me to act, doesnt matter if its a movie or a short film or a drama series on TV. Most importantly, it is a character that I like.
Reporter : Is there any artiste that you would especially like to work with?
ZZ : I have mentioned all the ones that I idolize earlier ..
Reporter : What about female artistes?
ZZ : Every time I will be asked which female artiste I would most like to work with. But each time my mind will think about these male artistes. You know why? Its because I really want to act with these seniors/ veterans in male-type of movie. If my acting is not up to par with them, then I can act as their son. If my acting can be somewhat up to par, then I can act opposite them. So I really eagerly wait for the time when a director will arrange such an opportunity for me. Instead of thinking about acting opposite Maggie Cheung or Lin Chin Hsia, I am actually more eager to act opposite these male veteran actors.
Reporter : Have you been in contact with F4 lately? (sytwo : cant hear well here so I am just guessing based on the answer below).
ZZ : Yes, I have. About 2 days ago, I coloured my hair. Because the B&W filming in Nanpu has stopped shooting my scenes for now. So 2 days ago I cut and coloured my hair, then took a photograph and sent it to Vanness, Xiao Tian, Jerry and some other friends. And they replied and said its not bad.
Reporter : For the concert .(sytwo : Cant hear the question but it is about the concert)
ZZ : After I return from this Shanghai trip, I will be putting my focus on preparing for the concert. There will be rehearsals for dancing and other action choreography. It will be 9 to 10 hours a day and I have also been training/ maintaining my stamina and energy.
Reporter : Previously when you appeared in the show by XiaoS, you said that you used to be a very popular and famous thing and now you are a good actor but not yet an accomplished singer. At this point, at what stage do you think is your preparation as a singer?
(sytwo : Wow! This reporter has certainly done her homework about what ZZ has said in different interviews. Maybe she is a fan too? LOL!!)
ZZ : Why did you say such deep words (or make such deep statements)? (laughing) Its much more that I normally think (sytwo : not sure of this) ! Hmmm . I feel that being a singer is like acting. When it comes to acting, your mind need to establish what you want to accomplish (sytwo : really not sure of this part). Only then will your development become faster. As a singer, I feel that it is the same. You have to make choices. I need to be clear what is my natural ability of my voice quality, and what is my voice range. I cannot hope to achieve the same level of a very accomplished singer who is way up there. I can only concentrate on the areas that I can strengthen, for example strengthening my lower voice range because many people say sounds good. So I will focus on strengthening this area ..
(sytwo : I am really impressed with ZZ. He talks about not trying to aim for unrealistic goals for his voice but instead focus on areas of strengths. I totally agree we should put more focus on our strength instead lamenting on our of weaknesses. Very sound and insightful advise from ZZ, whether as an actor, singer or in every area of our lives)
