Yu Zheng is. Not Sammul. But Yu Zheng loves to take photos with his hot leading actors.
He doesn't care about LSS or HG tho. Only loooves YH.
The Karen/Yu Zheng fall-out started when he first called her to get YH as male lead for 美人心计. She agreed, but after casting tests, the director felt YH looks too young next to Ruby. So Yu Zheng asked that YH takes the second or third lead, but Karen disagreed with the fee, then committed YH to 天地民心.
But of course the big blow-up happened when Karen sued him for copyright infringement of 步步惊心. He called her a witch sl*t who slept her way up and is able to get LGL to work with her because she's his mistress. So now Yu Zheng has two lawsuits on him - one for copyright, one for libel.
Screen caps from 天地民心. He looks soo young clean-shaven - too young for Ruby.

Hey...I haven't heard of this series. Is there an English title for it?
I don't get it....who choses actors/actresses? The producer, director, or scriptwriter?
I hope Yu Zheng get what he deserves....so unprofessional
天地民心 translates to "Heaven and Earth People" - YH acts as the imperial teacher Qi Jun Zao during his youth days. It's a recent CCTV series. I just bought the DVD set from Poh Kim. My Mum was so enchanted by the storyline of 天地民心 that she immediately bought the prequel 乔家大院. The Poh Kim sales lady told me that after watching 天地民心 all her customers went back to the store asking for 乔家大院.
Yu Zheng chooses his actors. But of course, the final decision depends on how the casting tests turn out.

From Yu Zheng's wei bo:
"...有很重 要的人提出刘恒和漪房不可能差那么多岁,而且画 面不好看..."
I guess when choosing the male lead, they would do some tests with the confirmed leading lady Ruby. The director found that appearance wise, Ruby looked too old next to YH. In the story, the "beauty" is suppose to be much younger than the emperor.
Is it just me? But I never found any of Yu Zheng's leading ladies pretty at all. With the exception of Yang Mi, he always chooses actresses in their mid-30s to act as sweet 18-year-olds. But his leading actors are all pretty hunky.
Sigh, why do superbly creative and talented people have to be so b*tchy towards one another?

You can watch it here...

It's on YouTube too!
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS1rI...eature=related
The whole Karen Cai-Yu Zheng cat fight is sooo farnie!!! Read all the comments on Tianya here: http://www.tianya.cn/publicforum/con.../2138123.shtml
Everybody calls Yu Zheng "Yu Ma" = Mommy Yu. Because he is sooo gay.
Pity that Liu Shi Shi and Yang Mi can't be friends anymore.
I like them all. Why can't they learn to get along?
he kinda reminds me of this one director who recently directed the last airbender and it was HORRIBLE. he didn't stick to the storyline and pronounced the names all wrong, and i think that he copied some script from somebody and that's how he got famous?
sorry, i'm a newbie here and i kinda followed up on this forum from time to time for some updates on the handsome and talented YUAN HONG...xp
anyways, recently, i can't go to his chinese forum anymore, it sux because i always get my updates there and can't have any access there anymore. does anyone know how to register in that forum, because i've tried like a few times and can never get in.
sorry for late intro, hi i'm blue_angel_10392 nice to meet all you guys!
Go to his wei bo at http://t.sina.com.cn/yuanhong He uploads a lot more interesting pics on his wei bo than the official pics Karen makes him pose for.
I notice he seems to have a lot more leisure time compared to his other entertainment buddies. E.g. HG is always working - TV, movies, commercials, albums, celeb endorsements, fashion shows. Peter, Eddie, Chen Long etc act, sing and model. YH doesn't sing, did a few commercials in the early days but now no longer does so and only acts, so he has time to ride horses, play basketball, surf, go drifting. It's all in his wei bo.
E.g. F4 pose with his horseback riding buddies at his Wuhan family home

YH with Eddie Peng on a surfing holiday...both of them are no where as buff as Peter Ho and Wallace Chung.

Their (un)buffness is more apparent here:

LoL@xiaolong. As fas as Asian guys in Asia go...all I can say is, "Thank gaWd they're not toothpick thin."
Maybe that's intentional? Boys just wanna have fun? I'd personally hate to have to work ALL the time like Hu Ge or Yang Mi.I notice he seems to have a lot more leisure time compared to his other entertainment buddies. E.g. HG is always working - TV, movies, commercials, albums, celeb endorsements, fashion shows. Peter, Eddie, Chen Long etc act, sing and model.
I like me.
