Selina公开献声 好友粉丝打气

在醫院治療的 Selina今天首度公開「獻聲」,她透過錄音表示,現在復原情況不錯,遺憾的是,在耶誕這個歡樂的節日裡,她無法和 Ella Hebe一起玩,只能和護士交換禮物。

S.H.E連續 3年為知名運動品牌秋冬新裝代言,只是因 Selina遭火吻身,今年缺 1人。雖然如此,廠商事先請 Selina錄音,在今新裝發表會中播放; Ella Hebe以及現場粉絲聽了感動不已,也不斷為她加油打氣。

錄音裡的 Selina聲音中氣十足。一開頭,她以「哈囉」和大家打招呼,隨後說「 2個多月沒見面了,好想念你們喔。」 Selina說,「這 2個月以來,我雖然很辛苦,但目前進步狀況不錯。」她感謝所有歌迷和媒體朋友的鼓勵。

耶誕節將近, Selina說,「聖誕節是歡樂的節日,以前我們都是交換禮物;唉,今年沒辦法玩了。」不過, Selina接道「也許和護士們交換禮物」。 Selina祝福所有朋友健康平安,並說「我愛你們, Hebe Ella我愛妳們。」她還誇張地發出「嗯呣」親吻的聲響。

廠商準備了 3分耶誕禮物送給 S.H.E,分別是 Hebe的「 TOP GIRL最佳女歌手」獎盃、 Ella的「 TOP GIRL最佳女演員」獎盃、以及 Selina的「 TOP GIRL最佳女主持」獎盃,讚揚她們在歌唱、戲劇和綜藝 3個領域的出色表現,也預祝她們拿下明年度各領域具代表性的獎項,成為各個領域的頂尖女孩。

廠商並當場宣布與 S.H.E再續約 1年, Ella Hebe則期待 Selina趕緊歸隊,明年 3人一起合體代言。

此外,為了替仍在病房中努力的 Selina祈福,廠商在活動現場設置 1棵祈福耶誕樹,消費者可透過填寫祈福卡並吊掛在耶誕樹上為 Selina祈福。總計大約收集了 300 400張祝福,活動現場增添溫馨氣氛。

Selina Spoke in Public Amidst Cheers from Good Friends and Fans

Still undergoing treatment in the hospital, Selina “spoke publicly” for the first time today.  She shared through a voice recording that her recovery progress is not bad.  However it is a pity that she could not enjoy partying with Ella and Hebe during the festive Christmas and could only exchange gifts with the nurses.

This is the 3rd consecutive year that S.H.E was selected as the spokesperson for a renowned apparel brand.  However, the trio was one member less during the promotion activity.  Despite so, the apparel company has invited Selina to make a recording in advance, for broadcast during the activity.  When Ella, Hebe and the fans present heard the recording, they were greatly moved and cheered Selina on.

Selina sounded well in the recording.  She started off greeting everyone “Hello” and continuing,  “It has been 2 months since we last met.  I miss everyone greatly.”  Then Selina added,  “Despite I have had a hard time these 2 months, my progress to date is not bad.”  She also thanked all the fans and media for their encouragement.

With Christmas just round the corner, Selina said,  “Christmas is a joyous festival.  In the past, we would always exchange gifts.  Sigh, but I can’t party this year.”  Nonetheless, Selina said,  “Perhaps I can do gift exchange with the nurses.”  Selina wished everyone the best of health and said,  “I love all of you.  Hebe, Ella, I love you.”  She even sent a loud exaggerated kiss to everyone.

The apparel company prepared 3 Christmas presents for S.H.E:  namely for Hebe – [Top Girl Best Female Singer] trophy; Ella – [Top Girl Best Female Actress] trophy; and Selina – [Top Girl Best Female Host] trophy, to acknowledge their achievements in singing, acting and hosting of variety programmes.  These gifts were also the apparel company’s gesture to send well wishes for the trio to wish them greater success in making their marks as top female artistes in the respective areas of the entertainment scene for the coming year.

In addition, the apparel company also announced that they would continue to extend another year of contract with S.H.E.  On the other hand, Ella and Hebe expressed that they look forward to the reunion when Selina returns to the group next year for the endorsement.

To gather well wishes for Selina, the apparel company also set up a “Well Wishes Christmas Tree” at the activity venue for all consumers to hang their written well wishes for Selina on the tree.  About 300 – 400 well wishes were gathered during the activity, adding much warmth and love to the Christmas.

Selina脚萎缩 H.E安慰纤细

H.E18日出席TOP GIRL代言活动,因Selina在医院,她录制声音档合体,她气虚说,「我虽然很辛苦,但目前复原状况还不错圣诞节要到了,是个非常欢乐的节日,以前我们有交换礼物,唉,今年没办法玩了,要跟护士交换礼物了我爱你们(吻)。」H.E则透露,她的脚萎缩现象,逆向夸她「腿从来没这麼细过。」 

Selina受伤,S.H.E无法合体,TOP GIRL宣布再续约一年,今年海报先前已拍,但下一季就会只有H.E。当然,还是有厂商不愿续约,H.E说:「我们可以理解有些厂商却步,我们会正向去看。她的状况谁都不愿意,三缺一我们会更卖力。」 

Hebe说,她看Selina的「网袜」脚,以「心在滴血」形容,曾在开车回家路上难过落泪,Ella昨听她声音也哽噎。两人说:「她是个『得体大师』,你们看她乐观,但她能好到哪里去?」也心疼透露她因长新皮摩擦就会有大小水泡,还要拿针抽出体液,「护士说要半年到1年才会好。」如此一来,她与张承中婚礼势必延后。任爸说,张承中每天都赴院摸她的头安慰。H.E也对张承中很夸赞。

Selina Suffers from Leg Atrophy, H.E Console Her

H.E (Hebe & Ella) graced the recent TOP GIRL promotion activity on 18 December.  As she was still hospitalized, Selina joined the other 2 members through a voice recording.  She said,  “Despite I have had a hard time these 2 months, my progress to date is not bad... …Christmas is just round the corner, it is a joyous festival.  In the past, we would always exchange gifts.  Sigh, but I can’t party this year… …I love all of you (kiss).”   Meanwhile H.E revealed that Selina suffered from atrophy of her legs, and in attempt to console her, they praised her “legs have never been so slim ever”.

The trio had completed their photo-shoot for TOP GIRL’s publicity posters this year.  With Selina still recovering and unable to join H.E, and TOP GIRL announcing its renewal of their spokesperson contract for another year, the next season’s publicity materials could only feature H.E for the time being.  Of course, there were also companies who expressed their wishes to discontinue the endorsement contracts.  In response, H.E replied,  “We can understand some of the considerations these companies have, and would face this with a positive attitude.  None of us, including Selina, had wished for this to happen;  nonetheless even now with only 2 of us, we will still give our very best in all that we do.”

Hebe added she has seen Selina’s “fishnet-stocking-looking” legs and could only use “heart bleed” to describe her feelings.  She claimed to tear on her way home after visiting Selina.  Meanwhile Ella stifled a little when she heard Selina’s voice in the recording yesterday.  Both her group mates said,  “She  (Selina)  is [Master of Appropriateness].  Everyone sees her optimism, but in fact how much better do you really think she could be?”  H.E also shared their heartaches as Selina’s new skin continued to grow and the friction gave rise to blisters of varying sizes, her treatment had to include the use of needles to drain the liquid out of the blisters.  “The nurses said that this would continue for half to one year.”  Hence the wedding between Selina and her fiancé, Zhang Cheng Zhong would have to be postponed.  Ren-pa also shared before that Selina’s fiancé would visit her everyday and consoled her by gently touching her head.  H.E were also full of praise for Zhang Cheng Zhong.

心疼姊妹淘强忍挨针苦 Hebe Ella心在滴血

3姝情谊

【吴礼强台北报导】Selina昨用声音参与代言活动,现场录音档一播完,Ella随即眼泛红,她虽表示常找时间去医院看Selina,叫大家「不用那麼伤心和难过」,但话语仍充满不舍和疼惜:「她不用受那麼大的苦。」连一向自称硬汉的Hebe,在看到Selina植完皮、犹如穿花色网袜的双腿,也承认「心在滴血」。

抽水泡眼神放空

Selina受伤后一直表现得很坚强,不想让关心她的人担心,但和她当了10年姊妹的HebeElla,深知她其实「一点都不好」;以前像「公主」般被大家捧在手心上的她最怕针头,如今却不时要扎针,将身上水泡的水吸出。 

有一回Hebe看到Selina在抽水泡,强忍恐惧将眼神望向远方,觉得心疼又难过,但Hebe也学著Selina变坚强,表示:「遇到困难就像是个历练,之后一定会更好。」 

曾雅妮关心好友

S.H.E的共同好友高尔夫球选手曾雅妮,也常关心Selina的复元进度,最近拿下LPGALadies Professional Golf Association,女子职业高尔夫巡回赛)年度最佳球员的曾雅妮,获劳力士致赠手表,由老外经理为她戴上,Ella还不忘在微博开她玩笑表示:「还不介绍给解接(姊姊)享用!」

Watching their Sister Suffers from the Pain of Needles, Hebe & Ella Felt Their Hearts Bleed

The Trio’s Closely Knitted Relationship

Yesterday, Selina participated in a promotion activity, along with H.E, through her voice recording.  When the broadcast of Selina’s recording was over, Ella’s eyes turned red.  Although she would always find time to visit Selina at the hospital and in turn, consoled everyone “not to be heartbroken and sad”, but Ella’s tone was evidently filled with heartaches for Selina,  “She should never have to undergo such pains.”  Even Hebe, who rarely tear, admitted to the feeling of “heart bleed” upon seeing Selina’s legs looking like “fishnet stockings” after her skin grafting procedure.

Blank Look in the Eyes During the Draining of Liquid from Blisters Procedure

Selina appeared strong and resilient since her injury in order not to make her loved ones worry.  However, her close sisters of ten years - Hebe and Ella, knew her best that in reality she “has never felt better”.  Selina has always been the “Princess” whom everyone adores and she feared needles the most.  However not only does she need to have frequent injections now, Selina also need to undergo additional treatment of having needles draw out the liquid from the blisters on her skin.

Hebe once saw Selina underwent the procedure of having the liquid drawn from her blisters as she tried hard to conquer the fear by looking away and staring blankly afar.  She claimed that she felt heartache and grief but has since learnt to be strong like Selina,  “Meeting with difficulties is just part of an experience, things will get better after that.”

Tseng Yani Concern for Good Friend

S.H.E’s common good friend and professional golf player, Tseng Yani, was also concerned about Selina’s progress.  Recently Tseng clinched the Best Player of the year in the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) and received a Rolex watch from a foreign boss who put it on for her.  Celebrating Yani’s success, Ella teased her via her twit  (WeiBo),  “Aren’t you going to introduce (him) to your Jie Jie (Ella)!”

被「海角」刺激到 陳玉勳癮來了

導演陳玉勳「叛逃」電影圈13年,幕後心情正是電影人的美麗與哀愁,以「熱帶魚」、「愛情來了」展現不凡潛力的陳玉勳,不諱言當年之所以出走,是對侯孝賢、蔡明亮以及電影氛圍有點「不爽」!

陳玉勳今年重回電影圈,先以金馬獎形象廣告笑翻大家,再以「茱麗葉」其中一段小試身手。陳玉勳的喜感依舊、計畫不少,獲得新聞局2000萬旗艦組補助金「必殺技」明年開拍,要讓ELLA帶觀眾進入全新古裝大片領域。

陳玉勳說:「保證沒有爆破,ELLA演村姑不用武打,一定安全。」

說起當年,陳玉勳演藝圈八卦史也不少,黃子佼當年演「愛情來了」,這次「茱麗葉」記者會再見,陳玉勳笑著說:「嘩,他演戲時好年輕,那時小S也很小咧」而趙正平正是「熱帶魚」、「愛情來了」劇務。陳玉勳後來拍廣告輕鬆打,也算間接撮合周幼婷和馬志翔。

13年前陳玉勳可以說是頭也不回的離開電影,他嘆口氣說:「對電影灰心,還有不爽與反抗。」心理層面來說,當年侯孝賢、蔡明亮電影深受國際重視,陳玉勳另一種片型,通俗的「熱帶魚」、「愛情來了」雖有讚譽,卻激不起波瀾,獎項沒有,票房也不好,令他大為灰心。

國片導演的生活實際面更令陳玉勳覺得「以我能力值得更合理報酬」,便決定投身廣告圈。孟姜女喉糖、黑松偷渡客、輕鬆打等廣告一推出就引起討論,原本打算反抗兩年就再拍電影的陳玉勳,漸漸把電影兩字打包收進記憶深處,當成沒這回事。

「台灣電影導演難道註定和發財無關?」13年來陳玉勳拍了34百支廣告片,說起來很殘酷,一般國片導演費50萬以下,前前後後要搞兩年,除了理想就什麼也不敢想;廣告導演一支報酬約15~30萬元,一個月拍兩支,成家立業什麼都不怕。

「其實編劇也辛苦,一輩子能寫幾個好電影劇本?光當編劇很難活下去吧,可是寫歌詞還可以收版稅咧。」但陳玉勳也坦承,廣告導演是服務業,需要和客戶協調,「感覺有骨氣,好像不應該當廣告導演。」陳玉勳說著自己笑起來。

這幾年看到國片漸漸起飛,陳玉勳開始心癢,「我必須感謝這些後輩導演去衝市場,觀眾對通俗國片開始有了認同感。」真正刺激陳玉勳的是「海角七號」,高中時期他混搖滾樂團,腦海裡有個吉他手去漁村組樂團的故事,還沒寫出來,就看到「海角七號」大賣。

「這件事讓我覺得要趕快!這13年把我在搞笑這塊訓練得更熟練,以兩岸而言台灣綜藝咖的喜感是非常優秀。」李崗請陳玉勳拍「茱麗葉」第3段,讓他拍上癮,短短5天半讓陳玉勳欲罷不能,今後要對電影不離不棄。

Spurred on by [Cape No. 7], Chen Yu-Xun’s Passion for Movies Resurrects

Director Chen Yu-Xun has “betrayed” the movie scene for 13 years and shared on his many emotions from behind the scene.  Known to have displayed potential in directing movies from his earlier works – [Re Dai Yu] (literal transl: Tropical Fish), and [Ai Qing Lai Le] (literal transl: Love is Here), Chen shared that indeed he left the movie scene behind then, due to sharing a different view with Directors such as Hou Hsiao Hsien and Tsai Ming-Liang and was “displeased” with the scene then!

With his return to the movie scene, Chen first wooed the audience with his entertaining version of the commercial for the Golden Horse Awards. Next, he went on to demonstrate more of his talents in filming of [Juliet]. It is a pleasure to see that Chen Yu-Xun still has his magical touch on comedies and plots. Hence he also gained the International Media Centre of Taiwan’s sponsorship for flagship projects fund of NT$20,000,000 for his upcoming movie – [Bi Sha Ji] (literal transl: Must Kill Technique), which is slated to begin filming next year. Director Chen is set to let Ella lead the audiences into a whole new dimension of a period drama movie.

Chen Yu-Xun said, “I guarantee that there will not be any scenes with explosives. Ella will play the role of a village girl and does not need any fighting scene. Hence filming will be safe.”

As he recalled the past, and met Mickey Huang who once acted in [Ai Qing Lai Le] during the press conference for [Juliet], Chen joked, “Wow, he was so young then and Dee Hsu was young too…” On the other hand, Zhao Zheng Ping is the stage manager for both [Re Dai Yu] and [Ai Qing Lai Le]. Chen also indirectly match-made for a pair of artiste couple during the time he filmed for a commercial.

13 years ago, Chen turned his back from the movie scene. To this, he sighed, “During then, I was disappointed, displeased and felt like revolting.” As fellow film directors like Hou and Tsai gained recognition in the international scene, Chen’s movies such as [RDY] and [AQLL] which were more easily understood by the masses did not stand out despite the good reviews. With little controversy, no recognized awards, and impressive box office, Chen felt very demoralized.

The practical issues faced by Chinese film directors also made Chen Yu-Xun felt “I deserve something better in return of my ability”, hence he decided to make a career switch into advertising. The advertisements which he has filmed has aroused the interest of many and created widespread discussions. Despite his initial plan to stage a revolt against filming, Chen gradually put aside “movies” with his soon found success in the advertising scene.

“Are Taiwan movie directors really destined to be poor?” In the past 13 years, Chen Yu-Xun has filmed 300 – 400 advertisements. It is a harsh reality that Chinese movie directors usually earn only NT$500,000 for a movie which may take almost 2 years to complete; such is the price to pay for aspirations. Meanwhile advertising creative directors are paid between NT$150,000 and NT$300,000 for an advertisement which might take 1-2 months to complete, which in short, pays off much better.

“In fact being a scriptwriter is tough too. How many good scripts can one write in his / her life? It is hard to survive solely as a scriptwriter alone. At least one gets royalty as a song writer.” However Chen Yu-Xun also recognizes that an advertising creative director is a form of customer service and requires much coordination with the clients. “It seems one should not be an advertising creative director if you wants to have a mind of your own.” Chen added and laughed.

Having observed the recognition given to local Chinese movies in recent years, Chen’s passion was gradually aroused. “I must really thank these new directors for daring to venture into the market. As a result, audiences are gradually giving recognition to the Chinese movies for the masses.” [Cape No. 7] was the trigger to ignite Chen’s passion for movies filming once again. He used to be part of a rock band in his high school days too and before he could write about his own story of a guitarist’s adventure to seek out a band in a fisherman’s village, [Capt No. 7] has received high box office sales.

“This success story tells me I must act fast! The past 13 years of experience has honed my skills in comedies. In terms of Chinese entertainers, Taiwan’s artistes have also demonstrated brilliance in their abilities to be spot on to bring joy to audiences.” Invited to film for the 3rd part of [Juliet], Chen has since been filming for 5 days and he has enjoyed the experience so much that he would probably swear never to turn his back to movies again.

窥视明星心理”——透视明星的金钱观


对于金钱很多的人在心理都有不同的理解包括哪些明星们,钱这个事,对明星来说其实也挺烦,有人7年赚了14亿,不知道怎么花,比如说,周杰伦,也有人吃光用光迅速破产,比如说,章小惠。不妨来盘算一下, 明星花钱有哪些经验教训值得借鉴。

搭乘公共交通

代表人物:SHE

身价:SHE作为全亚洲最红的偶像团体,目前出版8 张唱片、多部影视剧,广告代言更是不计其数,小姑娘们个个身价上亿。

省钱习惯:SHE的几个小姑娘一直保持着纯朴可爱的 荧幕形象!顶着偶像光环的在他们生活中却还是那么朴实地像个邻居小女孩。保持良好的生活习惯、不乱花钱、赚的钱都交给妈妈,SHE都是家里的乖宝宝。最近 某音乐制作人在综艺节目《康熙来了》中说到,两年前自己坐小巴居然碰到Ella,一问才知Ella每天都做巴士到附近补习,因为离家很近又有公车直达,当然选择搭乘方便又便宜的公共交通了。

对比:两年前的SHE也已经很红了吧,早就赚的盆满钵满。可是小姑娘们的邻家女孩本色却一直没变, 难怪人见人爱啊!更何况,现在能源紧张环境污染严重,放弃私家车选择公共交通工具代步绝对是既环保有省钱的不二法宝。偶像都已经做榜样了,你呢?

A Peep into the Superstar’s “Mind” – A Glimpse at their “Finance Concept”

Superstars, like you and me, hold different views when it comes to ‘finance concept”. In fact, wealth can be a woe for many artistes. Some like Jay Chou, who earned approximately $14 billion in 7 years, probably has no idea how to spend his wealth. On the other hand, there would be others like Zhang Xiao Hui, who lived on her savings and ended up declaring bankrupt. Let us take a glimpse at how these superstars’ spending habits to take a leaf from them.

Taking the Public Transport

Representing Superstar: S.H.E

Estimated Wealth: S.H.E is the most popular Chinese idol group in Asia. With a total of 8 released albums to date, idol drama serials and countless commercial endorsements, these young ladies can be considered billionaires.

Saving Habits: S.H.E has always maintained a simple and adorable image! Despite being superstars, their life is still very simple and fuss-free like girls next door. Having good habits and not being spendthrift, the trio would give their earnings to their mother. They can be said to be the gem of their families. Recently during the entertainment talk show [Here Comes Kang Xi], a music producer shared that she once met Ella two years ago while traveling on the public mini bus. She subsequently learnt from Ella that she has been taking the public bus as daily transport as the bus-stop is located near her house and there is the convenience of a direct bus to her destination. Hence Ella would take the convenient and cheap public transport as her preferred mode of travel.

In Comparison: S.H.E is very popular even two years ago, and their income would have been over the top. But the-girl-next-door attitude in them has never change; it is little wonder why everyone likes them! Furthermore, with the call for energy and earth conservation, to give up on private transport and make use of public transportation or even to walk has become the surest way to do our part for the environment. Since our idol is a good role model, what about you?  

S.H.E
