'Pandaman' cast photos revealed for the first time; Vincent Fang, Eric Tsang, Jerry Yan & Wilber Pan all 'work' for Jay Chou





From left to right: Yuhao, Devon, Eric Tsang, Vincent Fang, Jerry Yan, Wilber Pan


A few days ago when Jay Chou came to Hang Zhou, as the main director, he proudly boasted of his upcoming television series ‘Pandaman’. He revealed that he has already seen some previews of the drama: “very bold, every episode is filmed like a movie.” However, it doesn’t matter how good it sounds, in the end, what’s most important is how good it looks. Yesterday, the studio released cast photos to some of the media, setting off one large exposure. Looking at the cast photos, it indeed gives off the feeling of a film, no wonder Jay is content to such a stage!

‘Pandaman’ has already been filming for almost 4 months, and will wrap up soon. Director Jay has always liked to be low-key, and during filming, he kept everything very secretive. Only until yesterday, were cast photos revealed, and the full cast list announced. Not only does it include Jay Chou, ‘J-girl’ Jessie Chiang, Nan Quan Ma Ma and Tang Ma, it also includes big names such as Wilber Pan, Jerry Yan, Eric Tsang, Vincent Fang etc who will be guesting.

Yu Hao & Devon play superman & heroic

Television series ‘Pandaman’ tells of a story that takes place in 2030. 2 sunshine boys full of justice and challenge transform themselves into ‘Panda Superman’ and ‘Panda Heroic’, using rival Batman’s power to start a life-or-death battle against a criminal gang, ultimately to protect the citizens of Guang Ming City.

‘Pandaman’ main leads ‘Panda Superman’ & ‘Panda Heroic’ have been the public’s main interest, and will be played by Nan Quan Ma Ma’s Yu Hao & Devon, respectively. Both these Pandamen come from different backgrounds – one rich, one poor. The former is like iron and steel, he often wears a helmet, a black & white jacket and a red scarf. As for the latter, his appearance is much more simple. Often, he only wears a panda mask, and shoulder pads. But he was born with extraordinary superhuman strength, and is a master of Kung Fu. Although the 2 are from different backgrounds and have different appearances, their sense of justice and their ‘panda’ symbol is ultimately identical. The 2 both have a panda head, and big black eyes and ears. And their behaviours mimic the shadows of a panda. If ‘Panda Superman’ plays with bamboo
nunchucks, then ‘Panda Heroic’ likes to drink bamboo shoot soup.

Eric Tsang & Vincent Fang guest

Besides ‘Panda Superman’ and ‘Panda Heroic’, there is also another character ‘Pirated version Pandaman’ and this will be played by Eric Tsang. Jay had previously worked with Eric in ‘Kung Fu Dunk’ and they became good friends, hence Jay invited Eric to take part in this drama. Amongst the cast photos, Eric acts in a ‘Pandaman rescuing beauty’ scene. He witnesses a criminal gang abducting a mother and daughter, hence he risks his life to save them. The drama staff members revealed that during filming, Eric insisted on calling himself ‘Panda Superman’ wanting good to overcome evil, and he even did number of Superman’s classic poses, constantly making staff members burst into laughter.

The other guest is Vincent Fang. Where Jay is concerned, how can he be missing? But this time, he has a big transformation and plays an arms dealer. Although his character gets shot not long after he appears, but in the cast photos, with his black jacket, a cigar in his mouth, and accompanied by beautiful women, definitely full of gangster flavour.

Jay Chou & Jerry Yan will have an exciting fighting scene

In the drama, besides the 2 main ‘Pandamen’ protecting the citizens of Guang Ming City, director Jay Chou will also play ‘Detective Leo’, working with the ‘Pandamen’ to let good overcome evil. Jerry Yan will play ‘Detective Chen’ and he will have an exciting fighting scene with ‘Detective Leo’. Both being detectives, what kind of conflict will arise? And what kind of chemistry will be produced? The drama crew refuse to divulge any further information.

Other than this, Wilber Pan will also be guesting in this drama as charmingly naïve ‘Jason’. With his glasses and ‘cool’ image, many females fight to date him. Wilber expressed that playing this foolish character is a challenge for him and he will also be involved in a love scene with female lead ‘Pandawoman’ Tang Yan.

Jerry Yan rushed to find doctor for past love; hinting as Lin Chi Ling


Since Jerry Yan shot to fame, his love life has attracted many people’s curiosity. Yesterday, he accepted an interview on ‘Shen Chun Hua’s Life Show’ and described his previous relationships as “not mature enough, don’t know to sweet-talk, childish and lack in confidence.”

During the recording, host Shen Chun Hua was curious about the previous rumours about Jerry thanking 2 women at his Japan concert, one was his mother, who was the other woman? After Jerry heard this, he ‘um’ed for a long time without replying, finally saying: “She’s too wonderful, I give her my blessing.”

Jerry revealed that after being an idol, he still very much desires love. He explained: “Love can help share the pressure from work and the unhappiness. A big part of happiness comes from relationships; it’s something you have to do living in this world.” He revealed that in the past, there was a girl he liked, who one day fell sick. He was very worried in private, and even asked Hou Wen Yong, who was working in Taiwan National University at the time, to help find the best doctor. However, he was too scared to tell the girl of all this.

He smiled saying, his biggest problem is that he “doesn’t know how to say it out.” Even Hou Wen Yong revealed that he previously helped Jerry write a letter of apology to a girl, but till today, this letter still has not yet been sent. Jerry explained: “Because at the time, I wasn’t prepared.” Jerry had met Hou Wen Yong during filming of ‘The Hospital’ and coincidentally, this was also around the time when Lin Chi Ling fell off her horse. Lin Chi Ling’s management company did not wish to reply on this.

Jerry Yan suffering from insomnia; consults Zai Zai & Ella for help



Jerry Yan has filming drama and releasing album burning at both ends. With the immense amount of pressure, he started getting insomnia half a year ago. And he even consulted good friends Vic Zhou (Zai Zai) and Ella for remedies: “The scariest thing about insomnia is that your eyes are open till morning, and then you think about all the work you have to do, without getting any sleep.”

Yesterday, Jerry held an international fan meet at Yang Ming Shan. And 2000 seats were completely filled by fans from Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea etc. Each person had to pay 1000 yuan entrance fee, and the whole event earned over $2million. In order to avoid being suspected of ‘sucking gold’, JVR publicity manager Zhang Lan Yun expressed: “Minus the rent, hardware and software costs, and the company also has to make up the difference. If there’s any money left over, we will donate it to charity.”

At the event, Jerry told many cold jokes. When the host asked him about the character he plays in his new drama ‘Down With Love’, he replied: “In the drama, I play doraemon.” (translator note: drama and doraemon sounds similar when you pronounce it XD) And everyone exclaimed: “Oh so cold!” Jerry had anticipated this fan meet, but when he gets nervous, he tends to get insomnia. Zai Zai told him to take sleeping pills, and Ella recommended he take melatonin, but he feels that taking sleeping pills isn’t good for his health, so he tries to avoid it if he can.

When Jerry gets insomnia, his mood is also affected. There was once when he didn’t get enough sleep, he kept NG-ing and he was so angry he hammered the table. Director Ke reminded him: “When you don’t smile, everyone feels pressure.” And Jerry took this good advice, saying: “If my laughter can make everyone else happy, then I should change my work methods.”

But Jerry has also being infected by Ella’s bubbly personality. Yesterday, his attitude was very relaxed, and he did not reject taking photos and hugging fans. This made everyone cry out in happiness, initially he wasn’t going to sing his new songs, because it clashed with his just released album, but while Japanese fans dedicated the song ‘Meteor Rain’ to him, he sung along with them, and even encourage everyone to sing along, and the atmosphere was very warm and passionate.

Jerry Yan’s fans squeeze together; stage collapses at signing event



Jerry Yan’s charm makes his fans go crazy, and even made the stage collapse! Yesterday, over 50 different international media reporters attended the event to do interviews, and the overburdened stage sunk a big U-shaped hole. In fear of an accident, Jerry was immediately brought offstage, and the frightened him laughed saying: “I thought it was an earthquake!”

Jerry has just released his new album after 5 years, and yesterday attracted 3000 fans to support him. Because the weather was extremely hot, and fans were all sweating, Jerry’s record company was worried that everyone squeezing together would take a toll on some fans’ body, so they prepared many first-aid kits and first-aid stations with health care workers standing by. And they also provided an enormous box of ice, so to cool the surroundings. The playful Jerry exclaimed: “Really want to eat ice ah!” making everyone laugh. (translator note: ‘eating ice’ means eating ice-cream but it’s like a pun with the box of ice XD)

Jerry’s friendliness was at full affinity. When he saw media reporters sweating because of the hot weather, he personally handed them many paper towels, and he even helped staff members to carry all the stage props. He expressed that he is very confident about his new album, and promoting also gives him more power. Again, he made a cold joke: “Maybe for my next album, I’ll get to collaborate with ‘Power Station!”

Busy with his album, filming drama, and getting insomnia due to his nervousness, Jerry had lost a lot of weight. This made fans heartache and many gave him vitamins and other health products. One fan arrived in a wheelchair, and Jerry gave her a big hug, telling her to take care, and this made her cry saying: “This is the most touching words I’ve ever heard!” Jerry said that he had been so looking forward to this fan meet that he couldn’t sleep, and he joked: “The first-aid station is set up for me.”

Jerry also revealed that actually he is longing for love: “I really want to be in love ah, very tired, want someone to depend on!” But his 2 previous rumoured girlfriends Lin Chi Ling & Terri Kwan are all big beauties, is he worried that the next one will be compared to them? Jerry replied: “Won’t compare, there’s still someone I can love!”

Xiao S Taking Advantage of Jerry Yan During KangXi Special in Shanghai



Celebrity host of “Kang Xi Lai Le,” Xiao S, has been known for taking “advantages” (cough cough) of popular male stars on the show. The so-to-speak victims include Mark Zhao, who has recently shot to fame due to his more-than-outstanding performance in TV Drama “Black & White.” While all that is part of Xiao S’ unique MC style, it has nonetheless brought complaints from netizens.

At the Kang Xi Special stage in Shanghai two nights ago, Xiao S repeated her usual behaviors as she got a little touchy feely towards guests such as Jerry Yan, Show Lo, and Stanley Huang… with her husband Mike Xu looking from the audience. Jerry Yan agreed to hold Xiao S and spin around as a present for her 31st birthday; contrary to his usually cool attitude, Jerry held on for ten circles before letting go.

The day after the Kang Xi Special turned out to be Xiao S’ 31st birthday. Therefore, during the previous night’s show, Cai Kang Yong kept using “giving Xiao S a birthday present” as an excuse to allow opportunities for Xiao S to enjoy the physical contact with several guests. Even though her husband was sitting in the audience, Xiao S did not shy away from enjoying the time with them. When Jerry stepped on stage, she requested that he hold her and spin around three times.

Jerry took off his jacket right away and started turning in frenzy, causing Xiao S to scream. After 5 or 6 circles, he still did not stop. This is when Xiao S yelled: “Put me down! Put me down! I am about to throw up!” After being spinned around for 10 circles, Xiao S finally escaped. As she stumbled around, still dizzy, she complained to Jerry.

Getting a little “physical” with male guests has apparently become one of her “to-kill” tactics. She said “This is for the mainland audience to see the original KangXi flavor. The sponsor company even told me to feel free to be myself on stage.”

With her husband enjoying Xiao S having “fun” on stage, Xiao S yelled to him, “Sorry, Hubby. I am just doing this to earn the money.” After the show, Xiao S revealed that “of course he knew beforehand and appreciates the style of my hosting.” After the show was over, Xiao S, accompanied by her husband, spent her 31st birthday in Shanghai. Thirty or more friends, including Pace Wu, Makiyo, celebrated with her at the popular nightclub, Muse (owned by Hong Kong star, Carina Lau). She was reportedly already tipsy when she left.
