Jay Chou is a very good example, “Initial D” let Jay became the new “Box Office Guarantor”. Jay’s movie traces in indeed the top among the Taiwan artistes, he had earned HK$4million. F4’s Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vaness Wu and Ken Chu are also hot favourites of HongKong directors; they have secretly accepted some shows. Famous director Johnnie To have asked Vic Chou to film his latest movie ‘Linger’. Due to this recent hit of Taiwan artistes, Lollipop are also sing this as an opportunity to invade HongKong and have a share of the pie, their reward could possibly go beyond millions! Looks like the status of HongKong artistes are at state especially after Edison Chen’s incident.
WZ have recently became the hot favourite of the industry, last year Emperor Motion Pictures (EMP) had already invited him to film for ‘Million Dollar Mermaid’, however it was the male lead changed to Alex Fong in the end as their schedules clashed. But Big Media Group Limited has seen the growing popularity of WZ and has gotten him to shoot ‘Butterfly Lovers’ with a reward of 1.8million. After which he will work with Andrew Lau on his latest big hit ‘Ah Bi Jian’ which was agreed earlier and have undergone the training.

Besides so, there are 10 scripts out there waiting for WZ to choose, looks like 08 is the year for him.
Special attack
WZ swipes away all the trendy Tees with Ah Sa
After WZ and Charlene Choi attended the press conference for ‘Butterfly Lovers’, WZ stayed behind in HongKong for a couple of days for some meetings and went shopping at Tsimshatsui during his free time. WZ swiped away a lot of tees without even looking at the price, he and Ah Sa can really be said to be the trendy people!
WZ and his manager went to Tsimshatsui shopping centre at 11am and waited for their target i.t to open the store. WZ who have a loving for Beams Tee immediately went to try it out and within 10 minutes he bought 10 shirts costing 5000 bucks. After which he went to Bauhaus and attacked the tees and jeans. He was stopped by customers several times while he was looking at the tees to take some photo shoots, even the female sales personnel kept trying to get his attention. When they heard WZ telling his manager that he felt a bit thirsty, they immediately went to the street opposite to get milk tea for him. After that, WZ and his manager left the store via the secret exit, WZ was reluctant to leave. He stopped and looked at the magazines when they passed by the newspaper vendor and only left after repeated urging from the manager!
