Got to tell you something that will make you GAG. Raymond Lam will be starring possibly as Liu Lang or Wu Lang in a new Young Warriors movie directed by Ronny Yu. ARRRRGGGH!

OK, OK, OK. To give him credit, Mr Lam has a sparkling real life personality (hey, my grandma loves him). I won't gag too much to see him as Liu Lang or Wu Lang. But I'm really really gagging after hearing news that FSF is also going to be one of the Yang brothers (sorry FSF fangirls, but I can only see him as a rich man's son type with his lily fair skin, rather than a warrior).

Here's the prelim cast list:

Production: Huayi Brothers
Director: Ronny Yu

Cast:
Adam Cheung 郑少秋 as 杨业Yang Ye (dad)
Xu Fan 徐帆 as 佘赛花 Yu Saihua (mom)
Louis Koo 古天乐 as Oldest Yang Brother
Ekin Cheng 郑伊健 as unknown
Raymond Lam 林峰 as unknown
Vic Chou 周渝民 as unknown
Feng Shaofeng 冯绍峰 as unknown
Wu Zun 吴尊 as Sixth Yang Brother
Fu Xinbo 付辛博 as Seventh Yang Brother

Credit: cfensi

yeah...um. i'm okay with louis koo, dunno who ekin cheng is, okay with raymond actually (i'd prefer him as 5th though, because wu zun is much hotter as 6th ), and love vic and wu zun seriously gagging at FSF though. like seriously? how could he even play a warrior convincingly? i can't see it.

Hope he sign a contract with a management company soon..would hate to see his talent go to waste and not be recognized

[patricia n]

I'm sure he'll get picked up unless he is blacklisted. He's too good looking (ESP in ancient costumes) to not get contracted. And now that he is no longer with tangren that means there's a chance yangmi and yh can star in a series together. They didn't have enough screen time together in cp3 and I was sort of rooting for them although my heart lies with hu ge/ yang mi pairing despite the crappy love story.

Btw, I hope fsf gets a tan while he is shooting his commercial in Europe. I used to like Raymond lam, but now he is everywhere and mainland actors are much better looking than him IMO.

[mango_cake]

YH is still without a management company?! Didn't he leave TR like a year ago?

I actually know almost nothing about Raymond Lam. He's mostly in TVB series right? (I don't really pay attention to any of those so I guess I don't feel like he has too much overexposure.)

Is mango_cake and ChineseChik ready to see shirtless again?

Well, in that article from which LXX's photos came from, it looks like Brandcore (which produced Ad Mania) is keen to sign him up, but he's being ambivalent about signing up with any company. He already had offers from Ruby Lin and Nicky Wu and I'm sure others. Blacklisted? No worries...the guy just likes to be sarcastic in the weibo world, but everything smooths out in the end. Looks to me that he could be the type who doesn't like to report to anyone and prefers to be freelance. Some artistes just like it that way. I remember reading that Wallace Chung chose the freelance route/do his own thing after his contract with his management company expired. Wallace recently self-funded the production of his new music album (must have costed millions man!).

Here are pics of YH with Brandcore's boss and Ad Mania's producer & director (Lily Ye, formerly from TVB who directed Greed Of Man) catching up with him in Beijing. Gosh, he needs to put on weight!

Raymond Lam is everywhere in HK, in every mag, newspaper, buses, cars, malls - in fact the environment!

[Liu Xiao Xiao]

All about 13th (YH)....

I'm happy he's got so many offers!!! Then I won't need to worry about him much

[mango_cake]

I nearly died at that sequence of YH laughing his head off. He is definitely the highlight of BB for me, I hope he has lots of screentime! He is also one of the few actors that still manages to look really good in Qing hairstyle. (Although I think HG looks better than YH in modern styling, he'd probably look 10x worse than YH in Qing style.)

Yo ChineseChik, his Aussie travelogue is now being broadcast! Here's the trailer:

[Liu Xiao Xiao]

Ah!!!!!!! YUAN HONG!!! My favorite kind of hair on him. Looks like he had an awesome time in Austrailia.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll be joining the cast of BBJX when they do their promotion and publicity...just wouldn't be the same without him

[Liu Xiao Xiao]

Just showing a little for Yuan Hong in Austrailia...

His hair was recovering from the bald head in BBJX here. It looks a lot better now in the Sohu TV appearance, minus the dirty looking 5 o'clock shadow.

YH hosts travelogue and pets little furry things in Australia.

YH hosts travelogue and pets little furry things in Australia.

Okay five things LOL
1.) Yuan Hong makes it look like so much fun, that I want to go to Australia to do all that.
2.) He is such a goofball. Especially when he was eating the oyster, I laughed so hard. That face he made and then comparing it to Mr. Bean.
3.) His English is quite good and his accent is too cute.
4.) I never knew his English name was Justin. Is that what his name translates into, or just what he liked and decided to use?
5.) Was this filmed recently or back in 2009?
