Jimmy Lin

[relive]

Thank you for your translation, ladycoco.

Many series got the same plot, a rich guy falls in love with Cinderella.

To ladycoco,
Thanks again for the translations(speaking of translations, I need to go and do some as well)! Yea, that is Joe Chen. So are you only a fan of Jimmy?? I know quite a bit about Taiwanese stars since I am a fan of a number of other ones besides Jimmy. You should see Frog Prince if you haven't yet. Ming Dao is really cute and talented like Jimmy is too.Ehlo Huang who plays a cameo in this series is also in Frog Prince. Yea, Joe is on a lot of cooking shows. I am not sure who else is on there or when it will be shown. I don't have the channel to watch those shows in the US, so the only way for me to watch it is on the net(like via youtube(.

[ladycoco]

Yes, for Taiwanese stars I only like Jimmy. I don't know much about other Taiwanese stars. Reading the subtitles while watching a series is a pain. I watch mostly TVB series. I just started watching Frog Prince on youtube, hee hee. Thanks to whoever who uploaded it. Just finished chapter 1.

Hi ladycoco!
Oh,so you only like Jimmy?? Most of the stars that I like are from HK too. I am glad that you watching Frog Prince. Are you enjoying it so far?? If so, then you will like Jimmy's new series.... I just hope Jimmy's new series will be as good as Frog Prince.

I like Dicky Cheung and Ron Ng too. Dicky is the best monkey king I have seen so far. I like Ron after watching him in the TVB series about pilots.

Frog Prince is funny so far. I just finished ch.1. I think I like Joe Chen more than Ming Dao. She is a good actress and very funny.

Thanks for the links relive!!! The only thing is I get lazy to download since it takes forever....

Hi Ladycoco!
I am glad you are enjoying Frog Prince. YOu should go to that thread to talk about it... You won't like Ming Dao at first, but you will start to like him a lot later.... He did a great job in that series.

Thanks Relive. It is a fun show. It is funny at the end when Jimmy whipped out a brochure from his restaurant and started promoting.

Wow, thanks Relive! Gonna hafta do some watching!
Thanks also ladycoco for all the news! You guys are awesome!

[ellledubs]

Thanks for all of the pix. I thought that was Joe Chen Qiao En and it is her!! She is often on cooking shows, but I heard her cooking isn't so great yet. It is great to see Jimmy on her show. I didn't know that she was a fan of Jimmy. She is only 4 years younger than Jimmy. It would be great to see them in a series together one day... Yea, she was the lead in Frog Prince with Ming Dao...

Thanks to Ladycoco for all of the translations!!! I am glad that you are doing it for Jimmy since I have to do it for other fans of other stars that I like as well.

Maggie sort of looks like Li Bing Bing to me...

Hi Trinie Jie! Glad to see you here.. haven't heard from you for awhile.. hope things are going great for you though!

I think Joe Chen is really cute.. it would be kool to see her and Jimmy work together! I definitely should catch the Frog Prince next... it seems very popular and I've heard many great things about it.

Trinie,

I think you are the person who posted Jimmy's army diary on Kose's other Jimmy forum. I want to send you a big thank you but that site won't let me post. So I am doing it here. I READ IT ALL. It is amazing to read his inner thoughts about those 2 yrs in the army. I don't know anyone in the military and had no idea life in the army could be that harsh. He was singled out for punishment for being who he was. He was boo'ed by the other soldiers and scolded by the sergeant when he performed on stage. And he had to smile through it all. We only see his sunny smile but have no idea what he's been through. He really matured in those 2 yrs. I think he wouldn't be the caring and warm person he is today if he didn't go into the army. He may have turned out to be just another snobbish celeb.

Hope you can read this and a big THANK YOU.

[relive]

Yes, army really trained Jimmy the real man.

Filming is so dangerous. Hope that Jimmy will be okay next week. So they WILL go to Milan after all.

San Lih News
2/3/2007

Hsu Wei Lun, (the actress who died last week in a car accident) was to be the female lead in Fang Yang De Xing Xing. After she died, the production team felt horribly. Li Wei, her ex-boyfriend, is being attacked but he will join the production after Chinese New Year.

Jimmy Lin will be in the entire series. Li Wei Lian will appear in the first half and Li Wei in the last half. Li Wei’s part hasn’t started filming. The production will go to Milan for filming after Chinese New Year.

Next week, Jimmy will film a car racing scene. The location has no rail guards and Jimmy and another driver will chase each other at high speed. It will be very dangerous. Jimmy will also be the racing director himself. Since this is after Hsu Wei Lun’s auto accident, the production has increased the accidental insurance to TWD 20M. They will also give everyone a day off after a shoot on location.

Men's UNO February 2007 issue

The spcnet.tv site seems to be down. I will post this article here. Jimmy is featured in the February issue of Men's UNO, a Taiwan magazine.

Asia’s number 1 star racer
Jimmy Lin and his speed life

Jimmy Lin, the Little Whirlwind’s road to success was rather smooth. Maybe only then 5th and 6th graders have some memory of his explosive debut. He has done well in singing and acting. He excels even in the racing world. However, time has not made its marks on his face. He has spent most of his time working in China. He returned to Taiwan recently to act in his first modern idol series with his racing spirit.

In the past few years we only see him as an actor. He has switched gear after returning from the army. He played more or less the same young man roles in most of his past series and movies. Recently he has tried to change into a more mature image with his racing career and movies. He wants his first modern idol series to be his representative work in this new era. He joined the cast of Fang Yang De Xing Xing because he also believes in SanLih’s ability in promoting idol series.

Can you tell us what is so attractive about Fang Yang De Xing Xing?
I believe in the script and the production crew. These are the formula for success. And SanLih is also strong in promoting idol series. This series involves car racing. I feel that it is written for me. My character is the 2nd generation of a jewelry corporation. He is very different from the roles I played before. He is more mature and worldly. He comes from a wealthy background that makes him arrogant and kind of bad. This is a big change for me. There is a major challenge for me near the end. I will change some of my little habits and will be more mature and reserved. Because of the storyline I can show off my driving and chasing skills. I can also say that the resources I am able to procure are quite plentiful.

Do you need to spend time on your racing career?
Racing is part of my career, and it is as important. Since there are no races between December and March I can concentrate on filming. When racing starts I will be busy. I am able to schedule my time quite well in the past. There is no time conflict between my entertaining and racing careers.

What sparked your interests in machines?
I became interested in racing since I was young. I liked to take apart machines and put them back together. I was always the first one in my family to be able to use a new cell phone, remote control, etc. I was also interested in handling cars so why not get into the business?

Any books or scifi movies that sparked your interests?
I think it is curiosity. I was interested in comic books when I was a kid. I got interested in any new and interesting technologies. I will try any new 3C products. I am very generous in buying computers, digital cameras, and MP3 players.

How do you manage your style?
I care about my onscreen image. I choose simple clothes off-screen. I don’t chase brand names. I like to put anything that relates to racing on my clothes, like checkered flag and chains. I like others to know that I am in love with speed. I created my own brand, JR, with clothing and accessories that relate to racing.

You travel to China a lot for filming and racing. Which city gave you the best impression?
I like Shanghai the most because the weather is like Taiwan. I have houses in Shanghai and Beijing. I spend a lot of time in Shanghai. I usually go to Shanghai first then travel to other places. I left all my clothes there. Because of filming and racing I get to travel to some remote places. Even though it is for work I was surprised by some of the places I have been to.

What are some of your investments?
I have houses in China. I just opened a restaurant in Taipei. Opening a restaurant is something that I always wanted. I already knew about racing too well. I have a racing consultant company, a car dealership, and a school to provide a practice ground for students and team. I also formed a racing team last year and it won 3rd place in China Rally. A lot of my investments came from my interest in cars.

What kind of cars do you like?
I like the power of a car. The appearance is also important, like antique cars, Hummer, sports cars. I like many models. I also have motorcycle, bicycles, not just sports cars, Hummer, SUV. I always remodel a car after I buy it, but not necessary to make it unique.

What do you like to drive most?
It depends on what I wear. I must drive a different car everyday. Cars have life. You have to let them run free. They are like pets that need to be taken out. They treat you the way you treat them. If you drive them often they won’t have problems. If you change drivers then strange things happen.

You always try to have breakthroughs in your career. What is your next step?
What I ask of myself is to continuously exceed my own expectations. Life is like racing. You need to know when to accelerate, slow down, or overtake an opponent. When an opponent is behind you trying to distract you… You need to choose your right path. I will be very happy when I can exceed myself in races. I just got my commercial yacht license. When I have the time I will go get a truck license. I think a license is a proof of my ability. (What about your love life?) This is the time for my career. Maybe after 35. I am not an emotional person. I spend a lot more time on myself

[ladycoco]

YAY! We are back in business. Thanks to all the technical peopel for their hard work.

[Trinie]

Hi Ladycoco,
Yea, it was me that posted it there. Thank you so much for your message! I was really touched and am really glad that it helped you learn more about Jimmy. Yea, behind Jimmy's big smile, he hides a lot of his feelings. I am similiar to him in that sense because I can smile even when I am sad. I just try to use my smile to cover up my feelings. I am glad that those 2 years really shaped Jimmy and made him into the caring person that he is today. That was the least that I can do for you guys... I am glad that you took the time to read it all and that you appreciated it. It really means a lot to me.... Thank you for all of your translations! I wish I can contribute as well, but have to do it for other stars(I like a lot of other stars too). Thanks for all of the pix as well...

Hi elledubs,
Glad to see you here and VERY sorry for not responding yet. It's a long story... I will tell you all about it later. Yea, Joe is really cute and funny as well. I never liked modern series at all and I must say that I loved Frog Prince. That was the first modern series that I have ever liked in my life, so you definately should give it a try. It would be great to see Joe and Jimmy act together....
