Hangzhou is hosting a “Modern Marco Polo” competition where the winner will win a 15-day trip to the city and a job worth €40,000 a year. Take a look on facebook~

Though, purely from a marketing perspective, I can’t really see them picking a Chinese winner…
Huh… so, apparently, the producers for Iron Man 3 aren’t applying for co-production status for the film, even with DMG’s involvement. There will be two versions of the film, with a different edit featuring more Chinese elements for the China release. The article hints that Fan Bingbing will not make an appearance in the international edition.

…so her role probably is completely irrelevant even in the Chinese one?
I watched beijing blues because it was nominated for a golen horse…. I regret.
As much as I love Zhang Meng, I can’t see her as 神仙姐姐 her features just aren’t delicate enough. She’s much better suited for role like 野蛮女友 or a women with a vendetta/power/control. I wish they had cast the other girl from the Magic Blade, Mao Xiao Tong for this part.

I wish the production company would get a better hair stylist (and outfit designer, too, but these two pictures only really need a better hair stylist).
I think Zhang Meng isn’t that poor of a choice for the role, she just needed a much better stylist/designer. Her tablecloth dress + terrible hair stylist in the new TianLongBaBu series made her look a lot older and less fairy-like than she is.
For example, if she looked like this, I think she would’ve passed the looks test for the role at least. And since Wang Yuyan doesn’t really have that much depth, the acting is also not a hinderance.

Did anyone see Together? I’m trying to figure out a recipe for those curry pork chops >>
Hm. Super Boys 2013 is holding auditions soon… I think? I really need to learn to read Chinese better… – __ -

Good luck, Benji! C:
I don’t think this is just a singing competition, it says “all around” so instruments too? I heard they (eeMedia) want to create a boy band (instrument playing ones)
“Rice King” LMAO!!! I don’t know how you guys (or guys as in male) feel about this, but I find it so creepy when non-Asian guys (or old ladies) just randomly start speaking Chinese to me…

I’ve been a daily reader at cfensi for a longgg time now but I’m usually too shy to post. I was just wondering does anyone know where I can watch genius vs. muggle? I’ve been searching for it everywhere and unfortunately I can’t read Chinese very well making it super hard to navigate non English sites.
btw thank you guys so much for keeping cfensi alive as it is my sole source of Chinese entertainment! ^^
Aww, you shouldn’t feel too shy! All of us current writers at one point were just commentors who asked a lot of questions. ^.^
I don’t think it’s aired yet. I think they (like every drama) are fighting for for a summer release, but it all depends on when they get approved and when/if Hunan TV has time to air it. One of my least favorite things about the current drama system is that you never know when a drama will air even if it’s already finished shooting, although sometimes it’s for a good reason (for example, Runaway Sweetheart took like a year to air, probably because the airing team also felt the drama should’ve never see the light of the day). Hunan TV is especially bad because they usually buy more dramas than they have time to air.
Oh, no wonder there’s such a delay! I was afraid the show got cancelled or something and I won’t get to see Lu Hong :’( Hopefully it will be aired soon though. Thanks for the reply ^.^
I don’t know what to think of this… I like that they are trying and this type of MV/song will catch people’s attention more but the lyric is so bad and the vocal! ekkk! They have good harmony if you listen to their previous release “Peach Blossom” but this is just no!
…does anyone know what we call middle-aged but unmarried women? not 小姐, or 太太。。。is it 女士? she’s only 阿姨 if you’re familiar with her…
OMG I was about to say 剩女 and then I realized you wanted the term when you were addressing them. LOL.
女士 should be fine – that’s pretty much “Ms.”
^____^ thanks for the verification
Is anyone else surprised at how quickly Timez is gaining popularity? I mean they debuted with the same concept and management as Top Combine, and it took TC more than a year and many appearances on HNTV to gain a steady fanbase (and that’s on top of Zhang Yuan’s fanbase from Superboys). I guess Timez’s manager learned a lot from TC’s first few years and the failure of iMe promotion…
Has iMe disbanded?
I don’t think so but idk what exactly is going on with them. Zara is in Thailand, Haley is in Korea, and the other girls idk, but i don’t think they disbanded. They’re kind of just… existing right now
What do you guys think about SNH48? Should they be considered mainland? They are AKB48′s sister group, but their company want them to be seen as a Chinese group (much like SM is trying to do with EXO-M). In addition, they’re not going to be performing with the other groups on tour (unlike EXO-M who’ve been touring with SM Family and appearing on Super Show). But at the end of the day, imo no matter how much they try, they’ll always been seen as part of the 48 franchise, and therefore part of Jpop and Japan.
I guess it doesn’t really matter, but I was just wondering…
I feel like it’s mostly whatever company they’re from. Are they a collab group?
If they managed to make you like them with their work, they deserve some credit and you can give them some coverage.
Best if you solve this off public.
For my advice, e-mail me.
This is not related to entertainment, but I noticed that on the Epoch Times wiki article, information about a lot of the “controversial reporting” aka BS that the Epoch Times wrote about is now gone. Does anyone know where else I can find a fairly neutral list of those?
I’m not exactly sure what you’re looking for, but Wikipedia keeps a history of edits, so you can go back and find the backdated article in question:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Epoch_Times&action=history
For example, more information about all the rumors they came up in the aftermath of the Sichuan earthquake. The history section has too many pages, I’ll go through them if I have time. Thanks, though!
