Star Magic talent Joem Bascon stars in GMA Films co-produced "Batanes"

All eyes were on Joem Bascon, the Piolo Pascual-look-alike discovery ng ABS-CBN director Jerry Sineneng, sa pagpasok niya sa Skyline Restaurant sa 17th floor ng GMA-7 kagabi, November 13. Kasama niya ang kanyang handler na si Allan Real at ang kanyang personal assistant.

Joem, a Star Magic artist, is part of the Ignite Media/GMA Films movie Batanes.

Joseph Emmanuel Bascon was born with a silver spoon at puwedeng hindi mag-artista dahil sa yaman ng pamilya niya. May napakalaking lupang pagmamay-ari ang mga Bascon sa Antipolo that stretches to about two or three mountains, including the valleys and lowlands in between these mountains na pinagteypingan noon ng ABS-CBN soap opera na Hiram.

Doon siya nadiskubre ni Direk Jerry at dahil hilig niya namang mag-artista, pumayag si Joem. After more than a year of workshops, binigyan siya ng break sa last soap opera nina Claudine Barretto at Piolo, ang Walang Kapalit. Ironically, hindi ginawang magkapatid sina Joem at Piolo kahit deadringers sila sa isa't isa—something that also happened noon kina Angel Locsin at Glaiza de Castro na nang magsama sa Asian Treasures, kahit parang pinagbiyak na bunga, ay hindi pa rin ginawang magkapatid.

Nabigyan na rin ng small break si Joem sa pelikula. "Dumaan" daw siya sa episode nina John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo sa All About Your Love, but he considers Batanes his first movie and his biggest break so far.

Si Joem ang gumaganap na unang asawa ni Iza Calzado bago nito nakilala ang F4 member na si Ken Zhu, who was washed away in the island of Batanes from Taiwan after a great sea storm that also took the life of Joem's character.

Marami nang GMA-7 at ABS-CBN exclusive stars ang nagkakasama sa mga pelikula ng Regal Entertainment. But never pang nangyari na isang current Star Magic artist ang mapasama sa isang GMA Films movie. Si Joem pa lang ang nakakagawa nito. From the other side of the table, it's like saying na a GMA Artist Center star acts in a Star Cinema movie that has never happened.

"Flattered po ako siyempre," reaksiyon ni Joem. "Pero noong una, nagulat ako. Nagtanong pa ako sa handler ko kung siguradong ako ba ang ipinapatawag nila sa pelikula. Nabasa ko po ang script at malaki ang role. Bago pa lang ako, bakit naman ako bibigyan ng ganitong break at ng GMA Films pa?"

Inamin ni Joem na hindi siya ang first choice for the role, kundi si Victor Basa na isa ring Star Magic talent. Kaso, biglang pumasok sa Pinoy Big Brother house si Victor kaya ibinigay ang role kay Joem.

Tinanong ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Noel Ferrer, project manager of GMA Films, kung bakit sa isang Star Magic talent ibinigay ang papel ni Joem. He explained that sa hanay ng Artist Center talents, wala nang masyadong kaedad si Iza in looks so they searched on the other fence.

It was mentioned before—at naisulat namin ito sa PEP—that it was also offered to Mike Tan. Pero nang mag-test shoot sila, nagmukhang bata si Mike katabi si Iza, so he was given another role, that of Glaiza de Castro's husband.

Ang Ignite Media ang lumapit kay Joem for the role which he readily accepted. Alam niya raw na susosyo rito ang GMA Films later.

"May Iza [Calzado] sa lead role, nandiyan pa sina Mike [Tan], and Glaiza [de Castro]. So I have the feeling agad na may connection ang GMA Films dito," sabi ni Joem.

Pleasant experience ang pagtatrabaho ni Joem sa Batanes. Hindi niya inakala na sa isang katulad niyang Star Magic ay mapapasama sa isang GMA Films movie working with Artist Center stars.

"Noong papasok pa lang po kami sa GMA compound—first time ko itong makapasok kaya kabado ako—nag-joke ako sa handler kung ililipat na ba nila ako sa GMA," natatawang kuwento ng young actor.

Iza Calzado admires "Batanes" co-star Ken Zhu for his humility

When Iza Calzado first met her Taiwanese leading man Ken Zhu, she didn't know how to approach him. The two are paired together for the Ignite Media and GMA Films movie Batanes, which will open in theaters nationwide starting December 5.

The Filipina actress narrated during the Batanes press con last night, November 13: "Si Ken noong unang dating niya, kinakabahan kami lahat because we don't know what it's like to work with a Taiwanese actor. And not just any Taiwanese actor but I have to say, a superstar—at least in Asia, di ba?

"Baka ipa-feel niya sa amin, ‘Superstar ako!' Nung unang dating niya, kung maglakad si Ken [Iza shows that he holds his head up high]... Ganun talaga siya maglakad, apparently ganun lang talaga siya maglakad.

"'Tapos, nakita ko minamasahe niya si Adolf [Alix Jr., director of the movie] ...para akong nasisiraan ako ng bait...bakit siya nagmamasahe?"

It was later revealed that Ken is familiar with the martial art tai chi, which can be used to hurt as well as heal people.

Iza points out that despite his superstar status, the F4 member is very down-to-earth.

"Nalaman ko na sobra niyang grounded. Ang dami kasi niyang pinagdaanan. He didn't start out rich. He comes from humble beginnings. I was so amazed kasi we had this one scene, kakakain lang namin ng lunch and he had to eat so much again for the scene. Yung noodles malamig pa. Kung ako 'yon, ipapainit ko pa, siya hindi.

"I told him, ‘Do you want to spit it out?' kasi tapos na yung take. Sabi niya, ‘No. I've learned in life because I once went a couple of days without food. From that day on, I said I will never waste food.'

"Ang laki ng impact sa akin yung [fact na] isang superstar would not waste food that he could just buy with a snap of his fingers. Meron siyang mga prinsipyo—that says a lot about a man," says Iza, who plays the character of Pam in the 90-minute movie. Ken plays the role of Kao, a Taiwanese fisherman who gets stranded in Batanes.

Aside from praising Ken for his humility, Iza also commended her co-star for his professionalism.

"Pagdating naman sa trabaho, alam niya kung ano yung gagawin niya. Alam niya yung script niya, alam niya yung material. And nakikinig siya sa director, although alam niya sa aming lahat, siya yung may pinakapangalan.

While shooting the film in the northernmost province of the archipelago, Ken whiled away the time by singing songs for the cast and crew, prompting Iza to dub him as a jukebox.

When asked if Iza had a crush on the F4 in the past, she candidly replied, "Hindi ako. Sinabi ko sa kanya 'yon. Basta may sinabi ako sa kanya, nag-apologize ako for something.

"Kasi mahilig siyang kumanta, so sinabi ko... Kasi, di ba, minsan, ‘pag may mga boy bands, duda ka kung kumakanta nga ba talaga sila. One night in Batanes, sinabi ko sa kanya, ‘You know what Ken, I have to apologize for something. I actually thought you guys [F4] couldn't sing.'

"Nagulat ako talaga kasi para siyang jukebox. Ang ganda ng boses niya—puwede siyang Michael Bublé. I told him, ‘You have a very lovely voice in person.' He said, ‘Thank you.'"

Ken is part of the phenomenal boy band that gained popularity for their shows Meteor Garden and Meteor Rain. The multi-lingual Taiwanese actor speaks not only Mandarin but also English, Cantonese, Singlish, and a bit of Thai, Indonesian, and Japanese.

Newest Blog Entry on IKEN


firstly, i have to thank all my seniors for having such interest in me having won the competition in spain.
as a junior i should not pass any comment. however, it seems that everyone is not sure of the events surrounding
the competition, to prevent any one from deliberately distorting the truth, i have to make somethings clear


i have been sickly since young and had a few close brushes with death. and as i grew older work stress caused my old
ailments to recur and i have been rather poorly in health. i have practiced yoga from 23 and after 3 yrs i do have a little success
but because yoga is unable to provide for a complete training regime so from the age of 27 i have been practicing taiji. till now, its about 2 yrs.
but because i have been busy with work and always abroad, its really only about a yr plus. i hope all my seniors can understand that.



my first taiji teacher is ( this whole sentence is the teacher's background).
as for learning wrestling, its only since march this year so i'm really a novice in this area.
as for the other aspects of martial arts in the school i've not had the fortune of learning. teacher lin is a humble and gentle man.
he is a low key person and has no intention of being involved in the arguments between the different schools, thus rarely people hear of him.
however, his skills in taiji has already reached a high level. i am not one of great talents and even though my teacher has been patient and through in his teaching
but despite hard practice i am ashamed to say i am only considered a novice.

ever since i've started practicing taiji, i have felt that chinese martial arts is the essence of chinese culture.
but has gradually lost footing due to changes in times. to prevent the loss of this part of our culture, i have promised
to spend my life promoting and passing on this part of our culture. therefore i will take a serious but humble attitude
in the research and development of taiji. as for the role of artist it is just a means of promotion to me, i do not see
it as a means to alleviate myself. i hope all the seniors can understand.


this competition is my school's ancestor's memorial competion. wrestling is the main event, taiji is a compliment event.
i was given the chance to compete by teacher Chang and thus followed the troupe to europe.
the main aim is to broaden my horizons. the ranking is just to reflect the actual standing of the martials arts arena.
if any of the seniors have any comments, i will accept them humbly. but please do not insult my teacher or school or i will be forced to come out
and defend my school.

Hita ni Iza, minasahe ni Ken

By: Nitz Miralles

Ipinapanood ng Ignite Media at GMA Films ang trailer ng Batanes at du’n pa lang, makikita na ang ganda ng pelikula.

Romance-drama ito, 35mm ang format at Dolby Digital 5.1 ang sound. May haba itong 90 minutes at kinunan nina directors Dave Hukom at Adolf Alix Jr. sa Batan at Sabtang, Batanes.

Sa poster, una ang pangalan ni Ken Chu (‘Chu’ raw ang tamang spelling ng surname ng F4 member, hindi ‘Zhu’), pero mas malaki ang picture ni Iza Calzado.

Paid in U.S. dollars ang talent fee nito, na hindi na sinabi kung magkano. Sa kanyang pagbabalik, bibigyan sila ni Iza ng key to the city of Batanes at welcome sila anytime bumisita roon.

Fourth film ito ni Ken at first time gumawa ng love scene. Pumayag pa siyang magpakita ng hubad na likod.

Nabaitan ang lahat sa Taiwanese singer-actor na naging favorite ang chocnut, dried mangoes at kumakain ng noodles kahit malamig.

May nag-suggest na dapat ang title ng movie ay Ken Masahista dahil unang araw ng binata sa set, si Direk Adolf ang minasahe at sa last day, si Iza naman, na nagka-pulled-muscles at minasahe ang hita.

Darating si Ken sa December 1, dahil nag-promise ng presscon para sa kanya ang mga producer.

Kung type ninyo siyang makita in person, go kayo sa fans’ day ng cast ng Batanes sa Trinoma sa Dec. 3, o sa premiere night sa Dec. 4, sa Trinoma rin, bago ang regular showing sa Dec. 5.

TRUE, sa Batanes daw ang press screening ng Batanes movie?

Narinig lang namin ito sa kung saan-saan, pero balak daw ng producers ng movie nina Iza Calzado and F4 member Ken Zhu na sa mismong Batanes magpapa-press screening ang pelikula nilang Batanes: Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan directed by Adolf Alix.

Kasama sa movie sina Mike Tan and Glaiza de Castro at natapos na rin ang principal photography nito.

If ever, masisiyahan ang mga manunulat na mapapasama sa press screening na ‘yan. What is confirmed though, nakipag co-produce na ang GMA Films with the original sole-producer na Ignite Media ni Dave Hukom for the movie. Isa pang confirmed, this year din pala ito ipapalabas, kung hindi kami nag-kakamali ay Dec. 5.

Hmmm… Kelan naman kaya ang press preview sa Batanes?

Sa pakikipag-usap na-min kay direk Adolf [Alix] sa 17th Floor ng GMA Network building para sa ipinatawag na presscon ng Batanes, starring Ken Zhu, Joem Bascon, Mike Tan, Glaiza de Castro, Coco Martin, Bembol Roco and Iza Calzado, ipinagtapat nitong pasok na sa Magic 30 (mula sa 60 plus na pelikulang lumusot sa mahigit 1,000 film entries from around the globe) ang pelikulang Donsol sa 2008 Academy Awards o Oscars.

...

Nakatakdang bumalik sa ‘Pinas si Direk Adolf sa Nov. 18 para ipagpatuloy ang post-production work ng Batanes ng GMA Films at Ignite Media kung saan balitang magkakaroon ng special press preview ang pelikula sa mismong Isla ng Batanes.

Hindi ko type ang hairstyle ni Ken Zhu, ang F4 member na kapareha ni Iza Calzado sa Batanes

Parang girl ang buhok ni Ken na maamo pa naman ang mukha kaya pwedeng mapagkamalan na tomboy.

Kung hindi pa nagpatubo ng bigote si Ken, tibong-tibo ang dating niya. Mas gwapo pa rin siya noong kainitan ng Meteor Garden at ng kanilang grupo.

Babalik si Ken sa Pilipinas para sa premiere night ng Batanes. Isabay na sana niya ang pagkakaroon ng bagong hairstyle para hindi na siya magmukhang tomboy sa paningin ko.

Ignite Media and GMA Films released the trailer of Batanes and in the trailer alone, you will be able to see that the movie would be beautiful.

It's a Romance-drama, using 35mm format and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. It's 90 minutes long and it was directed by Directors Dave Hukom and Adolf Alix Jr. in Batan and Sabtang, Batanes.

In the poster, the name Ken Chu was first (Chu is the right spelling of the surname of this F4 member and not Zhu) but the picture of Iza Calzado is bigger.

Ken's talent fee was paid in U.S. dollars, but they didn't mention how much they paid. Upon his return, Iza and Ken will be given the key to the city of Batanes and they are welcome to visit anytime.

This is Ken's fourth film and his first time to do a love scene. He allowed his bare back to be shown.

Everyone felt that the Taiwanese singer-actor was a nice guy, chocnut, dried mangoes became his favorites and he can even eat cold noodles.

There was someone who suggested that the title of this movie should be Ken the Masseuse because on his first day this young lad already massaged Director Adolf and on the last day, he massaged Iza because of a pulled muscle.

Ken will arrive on December 1, because the producers promised a presscon for him.

If you feel like seeing him in person, you can go to the fans' day of the cast of Batanes at the Trinoma on December 3, or at the premiere night on December 4 also at the Trinoma, before its regular showing on December 5.

* * *
Three year, five picture contract ang pinirmahan nito, pero sabi ng actress, two years lang at may option siya to do movies outside GMA.

Iza was flattered when she learned that Judy Ann Santos suggested her as her replacement; when they offered her the role, because of Judy Ann's numerous commitments, her name was suggested to the producers.

Iza has a story about her kissing and love scenes with Ken: "I was supposed to be the one nervous, but it was Ken who was nervous because its was his first time to do such a scene.

We needed to connect so that the scene would come out beautiful. I also thought that his fans might get jealous and run after me. But, this is just a job for me."

KEN MASSAGED IZA’S THIGHS

Aminado si Iza Calzado na hindi siya ganu'n ka-fan ng Taiwanese boygroup na F4, pero aware siya na sikat noon ang show ng mga ito na Meteor Garden at kilala niya ang bawat karakter ng mga ito sa MG.

IZA CALZADO CONFESSED THAT SHE WAS NOT AN AVID FAN OF THE TAIWANESE BOYGROUP F4, HOWEVER SHE IS AWARE THAT THEIR SHOW METEOR GARDEN IS VERY POPULAR AND SHE KNOWS ALL THE CHARACTERS IN MG.

Ang pinaka-may dating sa kanya sa apat ay si Vic Zhou at hindi niya gaanong type si Jerry Yan. Kay Ken Chu ('yun daw ang tamang spelling ng apelyido nito, ayon kay Ken) siya pinaka-walang alam na background, pero ito ang nakapareha niya sa pelikulang Batanes.

VIC CHOU IS THE ONE WHO HAS THE MOST APPEAL TO HER AND JERRY YAN DOESN’T APPEAL TO HER THAT MUCH. FOR KEN CHU, HE IS THE ONE WHO SHE DOESN’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT WITH REGARDS TO HIS BACKGROUND BUT SHE GOT PAIRED WITH HIM IN THE MOVIE BATANES.

"Ang maganda roon, since hindi ako 'yung ganu'n ka-fanatic, at least hindi ako kinakabahan sa mga eksena namin.

THE GOOD THING ABOUT BEING NOT A FANATIC WAS, AT LEAST, I WAS NOT NERVOUS WHEN WE ARE SHOOTING OUR SCENES.

"At saka 'yung pagka-starstruck ko lang is parang, 'Wow, he's an Asian superstar!' Alam ko lang 'yon matter-of-factly, pero hindi ako 'yung, 'Oh my God! Oh my God!' Walang ganu'ng factor," nakangiting tsika sa amin ni Iza kamakalawa sa executive lounge ng GMA network building.

ALSO, THE FEELING OF HER BEING STAR-STRUCK IS LIKE “WOW, HE’S AN ASIAN SUPERSTAR!”. I KNOW THAT MATTER-OF-FACTLY, BUT I WAS NOT LIKE “OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!”. IZA SMILINGLY NARRATED THIS TO US 2 DAYS AGO AT THE EXECUTIVE LOUNGE OF THE GMA NETWORK BUILDING.

Teka, hindi ba parang mas daig na niya si Ken dahil siya ay may Hollywood movie na The Echo?

HOLD ON, ISN’T IT SHE SURPASSED KEN BECAUSE SHE STARRED IN THE HOLLYWOOD MOVIE THE ECHO?

"You know what? He is a superstar. Kahit pagbali-baligtarin n'yo ang mundo, sa kanila kasi, may mga paparazzi, eh! At kumbaga, made na made na siya in Asia. Until now, nakakalokah! Sa Internet, ang dami niyang fans!

“YOU KNOW WHAT? HE IS A SUPERSTAR. EVEN IF YOU TURN THE WORLD AROUND (WHICHEVER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT), THERE IS PAPARAZZI (IN THEIR COUNTRY)! ALSO, HE IS MADE/WELL KNOWN IN ASIA. UNTIL NOW, ITS CRAZY! IN THE INTERNET ALONE, HE HAS MANY FANS!

"Nakalagay nga sa isang comment sa kanya roon sa YouTube na, 'I love Ken Chu. Now, I like Iza too!' Parang ako, 'Wow! Thanks so much, nadawit pa ako!' Ha! Ha! Ha!" tawa ni Iza.

IT WAS WRITTEN IN ONE COMMENT IN YOUTUVE THAT “I LOVE KEN CHU. NOW, I LIKE IZA TOO!”. FOR ME, IT WAS LIKE “WOW! THANKS SO MUCH, EVEN MY NAME WAS INCLUDED” HA! HA! HA! IZA LAUGHINGLY SAY.

Bumilib siya kay Ken dahil nang makatrabaho na niya ang binata ay napaka-down to earth daw nito at ang galing makisama sa kanilang lahat.

IZA WAS IMPRESSED WITH KEN. WHEN THEY WORKED, HE SAID THAT KEN WAS VERY DOWN TO EARTH AND GOT ALONG EASILY WITH EVERYONE.

Sa isang eksena nila sa pelikula ay wala raw keber si Ken na kumain ng malamig na noodles kahit pwede nitong ipainit.

IN ONE SCENE, KEN HAD NO QUALMS EATING COLD NOODLES EVENTHOUGH IT COULD BE EASILY REHEATED.

Nalaman niya mula sa Taiwanese heartthrob na nanggaling din ito noon sa hirap at naranasan ang walang makain kaya ayaw nitong magsayang ng pagkain.

SHE LEARNED FROM THE TAIWANESE HEARTHROB THAT HE CAME FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS AND HE EXPERIENCED BEING WITHOUT FOOD SO HE LEARNED NOT TO WASTE IT.

Isang gabi sa Batanes set nila ay hinilingan ni Iza na kumanta si Ken dahil may duda raw siya noon kung marunong itong kumanta.

ONE NIGHT WHEN THEY WERE IN SET OF BATANES, IZA ASKED KEN IF HE COULD SING FOR THEM BECAUSE SHE WAS DOUBTFUL THAT HE REALLY COULD SING.

Humingi raw muna siya ng paumanhin kay Ken bago niya ito ni-request na umawit.

BUT SHE SAID SORRY FIRST (because she was doubting ken’s singing ability) BEFORE SHE REQUESTED KEN TO SING.

Nagulat siya nang pagbigyan siya nito dahil itsura ng jukebox si Ken na walang tigil sa kakakanta. In fairness ay humanga siya sa boses nito na mala-Michael Buble o Harry Connick Jr. daw ang dating.

SHE WAS SURPRISED WHEN KEN INDULGED HER BECAUSE HE WAS LIKE A JUKEBOX, THERE WAS NO STOPPING HIM. KEN’S VOICE IMPRESSED HER AND SHE EVEN COMPARED IT TO MICHAEL BUBLE OR HARRY CONNICK, JR.

Kung ang direktor nilang si Adolf Alix Jr. ay minasahe ni Ken nang napilay ang paa nu'ng first shooting day nila, si Iza ay nakatikim din ng special massage from Ken nu'ng last shooting day nila sa nasabing isla.

IF DIRECTOR ADOLF ALIX JR. WAS MASSAGED BY KEN ON THE WHEN HE SPRAINED HIS FOOT ON THEIR FIRST SHOOTING DAY, IZA WAS ABLE TO HAVE A TASTE OF KEN’S SPECIAL MASSAGE ON THE LAST DAY OF THEIR SHOOTING IN THE ISLAND.

Iika-ika raw siyang maglakad dahil may na-sprain siyang muscle kaya nag-offer si Ken na masahihen ang hita niya. Marunong ng Tai Chi (isang uri ng Chinese martial arts therapy) ang binata kaya marunong itong magbigay ng healing massage.

SHE WAS LIMPING BECAUSE SHE STRAINED/PULLED A MUSCLE SO KEN OFFERED TO MASSAGE HER THIGHS. KEN KNOWS TAI CHI SO HE KNOWS HOW TO GIVE A HEALING MASSAGE.
Hindi ba nag-take advantage si Ken sa hita niya?

DID KEN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER?

"Hindi. Hindi naman yata niya ako type! Ha! Ha! Ha! No, he's very nice. Marunong siyang mag-heal because of Tai Chi," sey ni Iza

“NO. I DON’T THINK I APPEAL TO HIM! HA! HA! HA! NO, HE’S VERY NICE. HE KNOWS HOW TO HEAL (healing massage) BECAUSE OF TAI CHI, “ IZA SAID.

Naibulong sa amin ni Direk Arman Reyes (associate director ng Batanes) na nakita niya minsan sa set nila na may pinapahawak si Ken kay Iza sa bandang tiyan nito. Nagkamalisya si Direk Arman dahil baka kung ano na raw ang pinapa-touch ni Ken sa dalaga.

DIRECTOR ARMAN REYES (ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF BATANES) TOLD US THAT HE ONCE SAW KEN ASKING IZA TO HOLD SOMETHING NEAR HIS TUMMY. DIRECTOR ARMAN CAN’T HELP HAVING MALICIOUS THOUGHTS BECAUSE HE WONDERED WHAT IT WAS KEN WANTED IZA TO TOUCH.

"Hindi ko hinipuan si Ken, no! Ha! Ha! Ha!" natatawang esplika ni Iza.

“I DIDN’T TOUCH KEN (in a malicious way)! HA! HA! HA!” IZA LAUGHINGLY EXPLAINED.

"Tinuturuan niya kasi ako ng proper breathing sa Tai Chi, so he made me feel his stomach. Hanggang tiyan niya lang ang hinawakan ko."

HE WAS TEACHING ME THE PROPER BREATHING TECHNIQUE IN TAI CHI SO HE MADE ME FEEL HIS STOMACH. I ONLY TOUCHED HIS TUMMY!

Hindi ba siya na-tense habang hinahawakan niya ang abs ni Ken?

WASN’T SHE TENSED WHILE TOUCHING KEN’S ABS (abdomen)?

"Actually, I felt uncomfortable because I saw Direk Arman looking. Sabi ko, 'Dyusko, malicious minds na naman 'to!'" sabi ni Iza, sabay tawa.

“ACTUALLY, I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE I SAW DIRECTOR ARMAN LOOKING. I WAS SAYING TO MYSELF, “OH MY GOD, THEY HAVE MALICIOUS MINDS!” IZA SAID.

Wala bang moment na may naramdaman siyang 'spark' habang magkaeksena sila ni Ken?

DIDN’T SHE FEEL ANY SPARKS WHILE SHOOTING SCENES WITH KEN?

"Hindi ko alam, hindi ako sure. Onscreen, meron. Ang tindi onscreen!" naka-smile pang sambit ni Iza, na kapipirma lang ng 2-year exclusive contract with GMA Films.

I DON’T KNOW, I’M NOT SURE. ON SCREEN, THERE ARE SPARKS. IT WAS VERY INTENSE ON SCREEN?” IZA SMILINGLY TOLD US.

Sa Disyembre 5 ipalalabas sa mga sinehan ang Batanes.

THE MOVIE WILL BE SHOWN IN THE CINEMAS ON DECEMBER 5.

MAY second career pala si Ken Chu, masahista.

Magbabalik si Ken sa Pilipinas para mag-promote ng pelikula nila ni Iza Calzado from Ignite Media and GMA Films titled Batanes. For this, magi-guest siya sa iba’t ibang shows ng GMA-7, magkakaroon ng fans day at aa-attend sa Metro Manila premiere ng pelikula ni Adolfo Alix Jr. We’re not sure lang kung makakasama ba siya back to Batanes for its special press preview dahil it will be on Nov. 28 to 30.

Anyways, maraming anecdotes about Ken bilang isang mahusay na masahista. Nang napilay daw si Direk Alix nang matipalok ito, minasahe raw siya ni Ken at gumaling naman. Nang napagod naman si Iza after shoot, minasahe rin ni Ken, and she became relieved. Aba, kung gusto ni Ken na mag-retire sa showbiz, may puwede pala siyang gawin, maging masseur. Don’t ask na lang kung magbibigay siya ng extra service he he he.

Pam (Iza Calzado) and Kao (Ken Zhu) are both characters with painful experiences in life. They get a second chance in love when they meet in the picturesque island of Batanes. Produced by Ignite Media and GMA Films, Batanes is directed by Adolf Alix Jr. and Dave Hukom.

Iza Calzado and Ken Zhu share tender moments in "Batanes"

Jocelyn Dimaculangan
Thursday, 2007 November 15
10:40 p.m.

At the farthest end of the archipelago, where the Pacific Ocean merges with the South China Sea, a Filipina develops a romance with a Taiwanese fisherman despite their language and cultural barrier—proving that, indeed, love knows no borders.

That is the premise of the Ignite Media and GMA Films presentation, Batanes, which will open in theaters nationwide starting December 5.

Directed by Adolf Alix Jr. and Dave Hukom, this 35mm film showcases the unique beauty of the island after which it is named. The Ivatan limestone houses, the breathtaking rock formations, and the gorgeous lighthouse of Basco and Sabtang islands serve as the backdrop for a love story between the headstrong Pam (Iza Calzado) and the gentle Kao (Ken Zhu).

When PEP asked Iza to describe the island of Batanes, she gushed, "It's so pure. Feeling ko yung beauty ng Batanes, yung innocence and simplicity of the place. Yung untouched territory talaga siya, which I hope remains like that. Hindi na-e-exploit. It's actually overwhelming kasi dun mo makikita ang power ng nature against man. At any point in time, siya ang pwedeng kumuha ng buhay mo—ang dagat, yung dilim, ang gabi, mga animals.

"Walang ilaw dun ‘pag gabi. Walang street lights. Ang poste ng ilaw dun lang sa Basco pero sa Sabtang [where we stayed], wala," explains Iza.

Although the F4 member was unable to attend the press con of Batanes, which took place last November 13 at the GMA-7 compound, the media was shown a taped interview wherein Ken shared his thoughts about the island.

Ken was videotaped on a beach in Batanes and behind him was a spectacular view of the sunset. "I didn't expect Batanes to be so beautiful," said the F4 boy-band member. "You can call the place a paradise. And it's so near to Taiwan. It's so relaxing."

During the press con it was revealed that the Taiwanese superstar was supposed to act opposite another young superstar, Judy Ann Santos. Director Adolf admitted that he even approached Judy Ann during the first shooting day of Ouija in order to show her the script of Batanes. She would have loved to do the project but prior commitments prevented her from accepting the offer. But Judy Ann recommended her Ouija co-star Iza Calzado to fill in her shoes.

The GMA-7 star felt flattered that Judy Ann herself recommended her for the role. At the time, Iza was still waiting for confirmation whether or not she would reprise her role in the Hollywood remake of Sigaw. Fortunately, she was chosen to play the role of Gina, the wife of a policeman (played by Kevin Durand) in The Echo.

Iza managed to fix her schedule so she was able to star in Batanes: Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan and The Echo.

MULTI-LINGUAL KEN. In Batanes, Ken's speaking lines are mostly in Mandarin but off-cam, he is fluent in English, which is why the other cast and staff members had no problems communicating with him.

Regarding his role as Kao the fisherman, Ken says that it was a very big challenge for him. "It's my first time to play a role that requires a lot of body language, more than lines."

Communicating with others is not a problem for the Singapore-educated actor since Ken speaks English, Cantonese, Singlish, and a bit of Thai, Indonesian, and Japanese.

It was also revealed that the organizers originally didn't think of getting an F4 member to play a role in the movie. "We never planned to get Ken since we just wanted a Taiwanese actor. But Arleen [Cuevas, executive producer of the film] was able to get in touch with Ken and surprisingly, he replied that he liked the material."

When asked why he chose Batanes for the setting of his movie, Adolf pointed out that this is his second film to be shot in the northernmost province of the Philippines. "Mahilig akong mag-shoot sa lugar na mahirap puntahan. The place is very unique to the Philippines. It's like going to a different country. It can rival New Zealand [the setting of the epic movie Lord of the Rings].

SYNOPSIS. It was a whirlwind romance when Pam (Iza Calzado) meets Ivatan Rico (Joem Bascon) in Manila. She decides to give up her meaningless, stressful city life and follow him to Batanes to meet his parents Boy and Lydia (Bembol Roco, Daria Ramirez) and marry him.

The sea immediately intimidates Pam and shows its power, telling her how, with the strong toss of its waves, it can end everything. Pam tries to adapt to the Ivatan way of life. Pam starts hating the sea that Rico loves so much. Despite all these adjustments, Pam is happy with her new life and with Rico.

But everything changes when Rico does not return from fishing. Pam is devastated. She blames no one but the sea. Realizing that she cannot continue living in Batanes without Rico, Pam decides to leave. But before boarding the boat, she realizes that the sea is laughing at her defeat, so Pam decides to stay but she still cannot forget Rico.

On the anniversary of her husband's death, Pam sails to the Ivujos Island. She gets stranded on the island by an angry storm. She then sees a man lying face down in the sand. For a moment, she thinks it is Rico. But it turns out to be a Taiwanese, Kao (Ken Zhu). She administers to his wounds and brings down his fever. When the storm breaks, she drags Kao to her boat and takes him back with her.

The villagers are reluctant to accept the Taiwanese, especially Manuel (Sid Lucero) and Boy (Bembol Roco) since most Taiwanese fishermen fish illegally in the waters of Batanes. As Pam takes care of Kao, she starts to be drawn towards him. She starts to feel that he is a kindred soul. Language and cultural difference are no barriers as emotions rise. Love surfaces anew.

Batanes provides the breathtaking backdrop to their poignant love story. Will their love win over? Or will their past haunt them and eventually separate them?

Essentially a picturesque romance, Batanes also explores the intimate portrait of a woman's relationship with the ocean.

On November 28-30, there will be a special screening of the movie Batanes: Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan on the island itself. Meanshile, Ken Zhu will come back to the Philippines next month to promote the film, which will open in theaters starting December 5.

IZA CALZADO, TOO – In showbiz, the latest name to join Hollywood is Iza Calzado, who just wrapped up "The Echo," the American version of "Sigaw," written and directed by Yam Laranas. By the way, Yan also directed "The Echo," shot in Canada. Iza’s leading man is Jesse Bradford.

Iza also starred with Chinese superstar Ken Zhu in "Batanes: Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan," directed by Adolf Alix, whose "Donsol" is the Philippine entry to next year’s Oscars, foreign-language film category. Actress and director, parehong pang-Hollywood, di ba?

Talked to Iza at the ribbon-cutting of the newly renovated Manels boutique in Megamall, accompanied by her dad, top choreographer Lito Calzado. Iza is Manels’ current endorser, coming after Pia Guanio, Aliya Parcs, Marc Nelson, and Phoemela Baranda.

Manels has some 40 outlets which, like the Megamall’s, have "the new look," red copper logo, clean and fresh modern interiors and, best of all, updated merchandise to reflect the latest global trends. Manels’ leather products – bags, shoes, belts, wallets – are world-class. So like Iza.

Behind the scenes of "Batanes"


On December 5, viewers will be able to watch the poignant love story of a Filipina (Iza Calzado) and a Taiwanese fisherman (Ken Zhu) set in the northernmost province of the Philippines, Batanes.

Ken Zhu (left), a member of the Taiwanese boy band F4, is paired with Iza Calzado (right) for the movie Batanes. The popular actor describes his leading lady: "Iza's cool. She's really nice. We have a lot of things in common—we both love eating and traveling around."


http://www.pep.ph/images/gallery/15-November-2007-d07965b0d5/81b712994.jpg

Ken Zhu narrates a children's story for the benefit of the young Ivatans, the natives of Batanes. With its vast landscape, rough seas, and ever-changing weather, Batanes is the perfect backdrop for this romantic movie.

In the movie, Pam (Iza) finds Kao (Ken) unconscious on the beach of Ivujos island. She helps bring down his fever and eventually takes him back to her village—leading to a budding romance. In real life however, it is Ken who takes care of the well-being of his fellow stars.

Upon arriving in Batanes for his first shooting day, Ken gave director Adolf Alix Jr. a foot massage. On the last day of taping, it was Iza's turn to get a massage for her injured leg.

Ken Zhu as Kao and Iza Calzado as Pam are dressed up in Filipiniana to attend the wedding of Melanie (Glaiza de Castro) and Noel (Mike Tan).

When asked if Iza felt any sparks between her and Ken, she admitted that she wasn't a big fan of the F4. Since Iza is happily commited to her boyfriend Jerry Garcia, she said that the only sparks that flew were those onscreen.

In this scene, Iza teaches Ken the Tagalog word for plate while he, in turn, teaches Iza to say the Chinese word for glass.

The GMA star says that she looks forward to her tai chi sessions with Ken. "Usually after dinner, after meals, he motions with his hands and he teaches me tai chi," says Iza. She even mimics his deep voice and goes, "The first thing you have to learn in tai chi is the breathing."

http://www.pep.ph/images/gallery/15-November-2007-d07965b0d5/8201a5c15.jpg

Ken and Iza play characters who both harbor painful memories. They develop a bond that leads to an intimate encounter. When asked to talk about their love scene, Iza says that her co-star Ken was very nervous since it was his first bed scene in his entire career.
"Actually, first love scene niya ito. Kinakabahan siya. Natatawa nga ako, e. Feeling ko, 'Hindi ba dapat ako ang kabahan?'
"Parehong leading men ko sa film [Ken Zhu and Joem Bascon] parehong kabadong-kabado...Ako rin kinakabahan kasi first niya ito, baka habulin ako ng mga fans at awayin ako," says Iza with a hint of seriousness in her joke.


http://www.pep.ph/images/gallery/15-November-2007-d07965b0d5/4b87c526f.jpg
Batanes has the tagline "Ang pag-ibig ay walang hangganan," which translates as "Love has no borders."



Although the two lead characters come from different cultures, they will prove that love is universal. Emotions know no boundaries.

Iza Calzado and Ken Zhu share tender moments in "Batanes"

At the farthest end of the archipelago, where the Pacific Ocean merges with the South China Sea, a Filipina develops a romance with a Taiwanese fisherman despite their language and cultural barrier—proving that, indeed, love knows no borders.

That is the premise of the Ignite Media and GMA Films presentation, Batanes, which will open in theaters nationwide starting December 5.

Directed by Adolf Alix Jr. and Dave Hukom, this 35mm film showcases the unique beauty of the island after which it is named. The Ivatan limestone houses, the breathtaking rock formations, and the gorgeous lighthouse of Basco and Sabtang islands serve as the backdrop for a love story between the headstrong Pam (Iza Calzado) and the gentle Kao (Ken Zhu).

When PEP asked Iza to describe the island of Batanes, she gushed, "It's so pure. Feeling ko yung beauty ng Batanes, yung innocence and simplicity of the place. Yung untouched territory talaga siya, which I hope remains like that. Hindi na-e-exploit. It's actually overwhelming kasi dun mo makikita ang power ng nature against man. At any point in time, siya ang pwedeng kumuha ng buhay mo—ang dagat, yung dilim, ang gabi, mga animals.

"Walang ilaw dun ‘pag gabi. Walang street lights. Ang poste ng ilaw dun lang sa Basco pero sa Sabtang [where we stayed], wala," explains Iza.

Although the F4 member was unable to attend the press con of Batanes, which took place last November 13 at the GMA-7 compound, the media was shown a taped interview wherein Ken shared his thoughts about the island.

Ken was videotaped on a beach in Batanes and behind him was a spectacular view of the sunset. "I didn't expect Batanes to be so beautiful," said the F4 boy-band member. "You can call the place a paradise. And it's so near to Taiwan. It's so relaxing."

During the press con it was revealed that the Taiwanese superstar was supposed to act opposite another young superstar, Judy Ann Santos. Director Adolf admitted that he even approached Judy Ann during the first shooting day of Ouija in order to show her the script of Batanes. She would have loved to do the project but prior commitments prevented her from accepting the offer. But Judy Ann recommended her Ouija co-star Iza Calzado to fill in her shoes.

The GMA-7 star felt flattered that Judy Ann herself recommended her for the role. At the time, Iza was still waiting for confirmation whether or not she would reprise her role in the Hollywood remake of Sigaw. Fortunately, she was chosen to play the role of Gina, the wife of a policeman (played by Kevin Durand) in The Echo.


Iza managed to fix her schedule so she was able to star in Batanes: Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan and The Echo.

MULTI-LINGUAL KEN. In Batanes, Ken's speaking lines are mostly in Mandarin but off-cam, he is fluent in English, which is why the other cast and staff members had no problems communicating with him.

Regarding his role as Kao the fisherman, Ken says that it was a very big challenge for him. "It's my first time to play a role that requires a lot of body language, more than lines."

Communicating with others is not a problem for the Singapore-educated actor since Ken speaks English, Cantonese, Singlish, and a bit of Thai, Indonesian, and Japanese.

It was also revealed that the organizers originally didn't think of getting an F4 member to play a role in the movie. "We never planned to get Ken since we just wanted a Taiwanese actor. But Arleen [Cuevas, executive producer of the film] was able to get in touch with Ken and surprisingly, he replied that he liked the material."

When asked why he chose Batanes for the setting of his movie, Adolf pointed out that this is his second film to be shot in the northernmost province of the Philippines. "Mahilig akong mag-shoot sa lugar na mahirap puntahan. The place is very unique to the Philippines. It's like going to a different country. It can rival New Zealand [the setting of the epic movie Lord of the Rings].

SYNOPSIS. It was a whirlwind romance when Pam (Iza Calzado) meets Ivatan Rico (Joem Bascon) in Manila. She decides to give up her meaningless, stressful city life and follow him to Batanes to meet his parents Boy and Lydia (Bembol Roco, Daria Ramirez) and marry him.

The sea immediately intimidates Pam and shows its power, telling her how, with the strong toss of its waves, it can end everything. Pam tries to adapt to the Ivatan way of life. Pam starts hating the sea that Rico loves so much. Despite all these adjustments, Pam is happy with her new life and with Rico.

But everything changes when Rico does not return from fishing. Pam is devastated. She blames no one but the sea. Realizing that she cannot continue living in Batanes without Rico, Pam decides to leave. But before boarding the boat, she realizes that the sea is laughing at her defeat, so Pam decides to stay but she still cannot forget Rico.

On the anniversary of her husband's death, Pam sails to the Ivujos Island. She gets stranded on the island by an angry storm. She then sees a man lying face down in the sand. For a moment, she thinks it is Rico. But it turns out to be a Taiwanese, Kao (Ken Zhu). She administers to his wounds and brings down his fever. When the storm breaks, she drags Kao to her boat and takes him back with her.

The villagers are reluctant to accept the Taiwanese, especially Manuel (Sid Lucero) and Boy (Bembol Roco) since most Taiwanese fishermen fish illegally in the waters of Batanes. As Pam takes care of Kao, she starts to be drawn towards him. She starts to feel that he is a kindred soul. Language and cultural difference are no barriers as emotions rise. Love surfaces anew.

Batanes provides the breathtaking backdrop to their poignant love story. Will their love win over? Or will their past haunt them and eventually separate them?

Essentially a picturesque romance, Batanes also explores the intimate portrait of a woman's relationship with the ocean.

On November 28-30, there will be a special screening of the movie Batanes: Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan on the island itself. Meanshile, Ken Zhu will come back to the Philippines next month to promote the film, which will open in theaters starting December 5.

ken't help but comment.....:)

as for the other aspects of martial arts in the school i've not had the fortune of learning. teacher lin is a humble and gentle man.
he is a low key person and has no intention of being involved in the arguments between the different schools, thus rarely people hear of him. (...hay naku....parang sarili nya dini-describe ni ken bout his taiji teacher....mana pla cya sa teacher nya....im sure malayo mararating ni ken sa taiji....at ayaw pla talaga nya mag-comment bout his taiji competition in spain...kya pla sbi ni zz sa nung last interview nila...u can tell a little about it...bakit parang dami agad nang-iintriga ky ken...pati ba nman sa taiji...


if any of the seniors have any comments, i will accept them humbly. but please do not insult my teacher or school or i will be forced to come out
and defend my school. .....(waaaaaaaaah...palaban talaga ang ken chu....at napaka-protective pah...di sa sarili nya pero sa ibang tao....magiging magaling na martial arts students/teacher c ken....kc may puso cya na bagay na bagay dito...

ever since i've started practicing taiji, i have felt that chinese martial arts is the essence of chinese culture.
but has gradually lost footing due to changes in times. to prevent the loss of this part of our culture, i have promised
to spend my life promoting and passing on this part of our culture. therefore i will take a serious but humble attitude
in the research and development of taiji. as for the role of artist it is just a means of promotion to me, i do not see
it as a means to alleviate myself. i hope all the seniors can understand.....
( waaaaaaaaah at napaka-nationalisctic pa talaga!!!!....pero ayaw nya gamitin status nya para magyabang....but to help....sana naman pagbigyan nila c ken...at wag cla ma-intimidate...sbagay sa galing at ganda ng intention ni ken...talaga nakaka-intimidate....bka maagawan cla ng trono....hehehehehe

MAY second career pala si Ken Chu, masahista.
Entertainment November 16, 2007 05:36 PM Friday Daily Insider

Magbabalik si Ken sa Pilipinas para mag-promote ng pelikula nila ni Iza Calzado from Ignite Media and GMA Films titled Batanes. For this, magi-guest siya sa iba’t ibang shows ng GMA-7, magkakaroon ng fans day at aa-attend sa Metro Manila premiere ng pelikula ni Adolfo Alix Jr. We’re not sure lang kung makakasama ba siya back to Batanes for its special press preview dahil it will be on Nov. 28 to 30.

Anyways, maraming anecdotes about Ken bilang isang mahusay na masahista. Nang napilay daw si Direk Alix nang matipalok ito, minasahe raw siya ni Ken at gumaling naman. Nang napagod naman si Iza after shoot, minasahe rin ni Ken, and she became relieved. Aba, kung gusto ni Ken na mag-retire sa showbiz, may puwede pala siyang gawin, maging masseur. Don’t ask na lang kung magbibigay siya ng extra service he he he.

All the kind words for Ken Zhu

Iza Calzado has been all praises about her co-star Ken Zhu. She said the Taiwanese matinee idol is very down to earth and is equipped with such positive values.

Iza is currently shooting a movie with the former F4 member for GMA Films. She said of Ken,"I was so amazed by his personality. He's so grounded."

The young actress who is becoming a favorite of international success (following her concluded shooting for the Hollywood version of "Sigaw") attributed Ken's mild ways to his "humble beginnings and because he didn't start our rich" and had to make a climb up showbiz through hard work.

'Hindi ko sinulot si Juday!' - Iza

TOTOO nga bang sinulot o inagawan ni Iza Calzado ng pelikula is Judy Ann Santos? May mga chika kasing kay Juday daw talaga ang "Batanes" na pinagbibidahan nina Iza at ng F4 member na si Ken Zhu, pero bigla nga raw itong napunta kay Iza.

May tsismis pa nga na mismong si Iza raw ang nanggapang sa GMA Films para mapunta sa kanya ang nasabing movie na co-produced ng Ignite Media Inc.

Well, mismong and GMA Films na ang nagsabing walang inagaw o ginapang si Iza at lalong wala raw sinulot na project ang kanilang bagong exclusive artist kay Juday. Pero totoo raw na unang inalok kay Juday ang pelikulang "Batanes".

Sabi ng mga taga GMA Films, nung sinu-shoot pa lang daw nila ang peilikulang "Quija" kung saan nagkasama sina Iza at Juday, in-offer na raw nila ang "Batanes" sa alaga ni Tito Alfie Lorenzo pero dahil nga sa dami ng mga nakahilerang projects ni Juday, tinanggihan na nila ito.

At mismong si Juday pa raw ang nagsabi sa mga taga-GMA Films na si Iza ang nakikita niyang perfect for the role at ito nga ang ni-recommend niya to do the project. Right after that, lumapit agad ang mga boss ng GMA Films kay Iza para ialok ang movie, kasabay na rin ng offer para pumirma ito ng exclusive contract sa kanila. And the rest is history na nga!

"Ang laki ng utang na loob ko kay Juday dahil sa pagre-recommend niya sa akin bilang kapalit niya sa "Batanes". Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanya dahil ako agad ang naisip niya para sa pelikula," sabi ni Iza na shocked nga sa chikang isa siyang sulutera.

"Actually, nung binabasa ko pa lang yung script ng 'Batanes', naiiyak na 'ko. Ang ganda-ganda ng kwento. Naisip ko, akong-ako 'yung character na gagawin ko. This is really about me. Kaya talagang naka-relate ako," say pa ni Iza na umaming naging close din sila ng kanyang leading man sa movie na si Ken Zhu.

"Ken is so gentleman. He's so cool at napaka-down to earth. Hindi siya maarte and he's really a good singer. Actually, nag-apologize ako sa kanya for some things na nasabi ko. Tungkol 'yun sa comments ko about some boy bands. E, di ba may mga thinking tayo na baka 'yung ibang banda hindi naman talaga sila kumakanta.

"So, guilty ako sa part na yun. Kaya nag-sorry ako sa kanya. Nu'ng magkasama nga kami sa shooting, para na siyang jukebox na kanta nang kanta. In fairness, maganda talaga 'yung boses niya, may times nga na ang dinig ko boses niya parang Michael Buble," chika pa ni Iza.

Anyway, showing na sa Dec. 5 ang "Batanes" at makakasama nina Iza at Ken dito sina Coco Martin, Mike Tan, Glaiza de Castro at marami pang iba. Ito ay idinirek nina Adolf Alix, Jr. at Dave Hukom.

Right after that, lumapit agad ang mga boss ng GMA Films kay Iza para ialok ang movie, kasabay na rin ng offer para pumirma ito ng exclusive contract sa kanila. And the rest is history na nga!

"Ang laki ng utang na loob ko kay Juday dahil sa pagre-recommend niya sa akin bilang kapalit niya sa "Batanes". Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanya dahil ako agad ang naisip niya para sa pelikula," sabi ni Iza na shocked nga sa chikang isa siyang sulutera.

"Actually, nung binabasa ko pa lang yung script ng 'Batanes', naiiyak na 'ko. Ang ganda-ganda ng kwento. Naisip ko, akong-ako 'yung character na gagawin ko. This is really about me. Kaya talagang naka-relate ako," say pa ni Iza na umaming naging close din sila ng kanyang leading man sa movie na si Ken Zhu.

"Ken is so gentleman. He's so cool at napaka-down to earth. Hindi siya maarte and he's really a good singer. Actually, nag-apologize ako sa kanya for some things na nasabi ko. Tungkol 'yun sa comments ko about some boy bands. E, di ba may mga thinking tayo na baka 'yung ibang banda hindi naman talaga sila kumakanta.

"So, guilty ako sa part na yun. Kaya nag-sorry ako sa kanya. Nu'ng magkasama nga kami sa shooting, para na siyang jukebox na kanta nang kanta. In fairness, maganda talaga 'yung boses niya, may times nga na ang dinig ko boses niya parang Michael Buble," chika pa ni Iza.

Anyway, showing na sa Dec. 5 ang "Batanes" at makakasama nina Iza at Ken dito sina Coco Martin, Mike Tan, Glaiza de Castro at marami pang iba. Ito ay idinirek nina Adolf Alix, Jr. at Dave Hukom.


I believe mas bagay kay Iza ang role compare to Juday, no offense meant... Iza's beauty is like Batanes'.... very classic.

All the kind words for Ken Zhu

Iza Calzado has been all praises about her co-star Ken Zhu. She said the Taiwanese matinee idol is very down to earth and is equipped with such positive values.

Iza is currently shooting a movie with the former F4 member for GMA Films. She said of Ken,"I was so amazed by his personality. He's so grounded."

The young actress who is becoming a favorite of international success (following her concluded shooting for the Hollywood version of "Sigaw") attributed Ken's mild ways to his "humble beginnings and because he didn't start our rich" and had to make a climb up showbiz through hard work.
waaaaaaaaaaah...sa mga pananalita ni iza...parang feel ko nang keniac na cya....wala ng duda!!!!....hehehehehe...nahulog na ang loob ky ken...di lang sa ka-gwapuhan...kundi sa whole personality....like ko din c iza kc yung pagkaka-describe nya lage ky ken....halos ganun din ang tingin ko ky ken...sooooo kung ganun...sa madaling salita...certified keniac na cya!!!!...nakita ko c sid lucero sa game ka na ba?.....waaaaaaaaaah...naaalala ko c ken....waaaaaaaaaaah...buti na lang nanalo cya sa tatlo...love ko na din c sid...kc mabait cya ky ken...he really reached out to ken...whc is yun lang ang dapat kc...taga pinas cya...bisita c ken....na sinuklian nman ni ken ng kabaitan...o di ba may libreng translation na sya sa mandarin(na talaga pinag-puyatan ni ken)....sa knya pa binigay ang orig mandarin script yta ng batanes...wd autograph pah.....waaaaaaaaaah....:D

Hi Angeldream! I'd like you to know that I really enjoy reading your posts. You seem to know a lot about Ken. I'm not really an F4 fan, much less a Ken fan. I began to like him when he came to do BATANES. I read so many positive things about him from the cast and crew and I can say I'm beginning to like him... a lot. So by reading your posts marami na rin akong nalalaman about Ken. Sana maging certified blockbuster ang BATANES para gawa uli siya ng madami pang movies dito.

Ken surprises Iza

By: Remy Umerez
A Little Bit
November 17, 2007 05:42 PM Saturday

ACTRESS Iza Calzado has finally found her home. She is the second talent (the first one is Richard Gutierrez) to sign an exclusive contract with GMA Films.

“It is an honor for GMA Films to sign up Iza because she is one of the best actresses of her generation. Her talent has not gone unnoticed, not only in this country but internationally as well,” says GMA Films president, Annette Gozon-Abrogar.

Iza feels happy and grateful over the trust GMA has accorded her. “I am very honored to be working with the best and the kindest people in the industry. I feel their support and love in every project that I do. Whatever the job handed to me is, I make sure I will deliver it to the best of my ability.”

For a year-ender, Iza stars in “Batanes,” a collaboration between Ignite Media Inc. and GMA Films.

The original choice for the movie is JudyAnn Santos who had to back out due to previous commitments. It was Juday who suggested to get Iza for which the latter felt very flattered. “It was extremely nice of Juday entrusting me with something she likes to do,” she remarks. The only hitch then was that Iza was Hollywood-bound to do Echo. As fate willed it, things were ironed out and filming of Batanes progressed despite the ever changing weather condition in the island paradise.

So, what is Batanes all about? It is essentially a picturesque romance exploring the intimate portrait of a woman’s relationship with the ocean.

Iza plays the character of Pam which was completely devastated when her husband Rico (Joem Bascon) did not return from fishing. She blames the sea and decides to leave but before boarding the boat, she realizes that the sea is laughing at her defeat. She changes her mind and stays unable to forget the memory of Rico.

On the anniversary of his death, she sails to Ivujos Island and gets stranded by an angry storm. There she sees a man lying face down in the sand. It is the Taiwanese fisherman, Kao (played by Ken Chu) whom she drags to her boat and takes her back with her. The villagers are reluctant to accept the Taiwanese since most of them fish illegally in the waters of Batanes. As Sam tries to take care of Kao, she starts falling for him again amidst language and cultural difference.

Ken Chu gained popularity in the TV series “Meteor Garden” which swept Asia by storm in 2003. The famous and multi-lingual Ken is one of the members of the Taiwanese boy band F-4. He was working as a waiter in a small restaurant in Taiwan when he was spotted by Cai Zhi Ping, creator of F4. He has appeared in films like Sky of Love (2003) and Tokyo Trial (2006). An anticipated solo album entitled “On Ken’s Time” was released in 2005. Ken has a huge fan base in Asia.

Incidentally, Iza had no inkling that Ken is a singer and a good one, until one night, she heard him sing. Only then she was informed that he is a member of F4. Iza describes his voice as a cross between Michael Buble and Harry Conick Jr.

Adolfo Alix Jr. co-directs Batanes from his story and screenplay with Dave Hukom. His film credits include “Donsol,” “Kadin” and “Nars” which all became staples in international film festivals. He is regarded highly by the Film Development Council of the Philippines and Cinemalaya.

Dave Hukom is the moving force behind Ignite Media Inc. and co-producer in the MMFF entry “Resiklo.” He is one of the first four digital non-linear editors accepted in the Editors Guild of the Philippines. His filmography includes “Pamahiin,” “Basta Kasama Kita,” “Takot Ka Ba sa Dilim” and “Shake Rattle Roll 2K5.”

Without Borders

Article posted November 16, 2007

Love knows no borders—be it culture, language, or even time. This is the premise behind the much-awaited film of the year, Batanes, Ang Pag-Ibig ay Walang Hangganan. Text by KC M. Abalos. Photos by Ignite Media.

Ignite Media and GMA Films join forces to capture the splendor of the island of Batanes and the poignant beauty of love in this romantic tale.

One of the directors, Adolfo Alix, Jr., is the writer behind the award-winning film Mga Munting Tinig. As a director, his first feature, Donsol, was a finalist in the 2006 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival.

He describes the biggest challenge the production had to face with Batanes: “To bring the equipment and everything! It was a logistical nightmare to go to Batanes but because na-plano naman ng maayos during the pre-prod, we were able to bring all the necessary equipment.”

Co-director Dave Hukom, also the CEO of Ignite, gives the gist of the film. “Though they are from different cultures, they’ll prove that love is very universal,” he says.

All Star Cast

Ken Chu of Meteor Garden fame heads the stellar cast of this romance drama. According to the directors, they never imagined they would be able to sign the Taiwanese superstar for this project. However, once Ken read the script, he expressed immediate enthusiasm—something even the producers did not expect. Ken also reveals that he absolutely loved his stay in the island.

“I love this place. This is a paradise, actually. I didn’t expect this movie to turn out so cool. I’ve never seen a place as beautiful as this,” he shares.

Fresh from her Hollywood stint for The Echo, Iza Calzado shed all her glamour and went rural for Batanes. The lovely actress counts this as one of the most beautiful experiences she has ever had. This includes the bonding among the cast and crew, and even with foreign co-star Ken.

“He says I’m cool. He’s cool, too! Tawag niya sa akin sistah! Tawag niya kay Sid [Sid Lucero] at kay tatay Bem [Bembol Roco], brothah!” Iza laughs.

"He says I'm cool. He's cool too! He calls me sistah! He calls Sid and tatay [father] Bem (Bembol Roco), brothah!" Iza laughs.

Aside from Ken and Iza, the film also boasts of a powerhouse ensemble, which includes newcomer Joem Bascon, Sid Lucero, Coco Martin, Mike Tan and Glaiza de Castro. Acting veterans Bembol Roco, Daria Ramirez and Julio Diaz complete the round-up.

Batanes: Pag-ibig na Walang Hangganan will be shown on theaters starting December 5, 2007.

I couldn't agree more, angeldream. Wow! Ken is sooooooo lucky he has passionate fans here. I bet if he could only read this and understand tagalog, he would be so proud to have you guys. Continue to post more info for the benefit of those new "keniac" like me. With all the media attention and positive feedback hes getting, I'm sure madami dyan eager to learn to know more about him. About the movie, O nga no, pano kaya nila ma bridge ung language barrier (tagalog-mandarin) at saka ung love scenes, di lang head shots but he took a step further by baring his back :p , to make the movie more realistic cguro. Di kaya magalit ang management niya sa pinagagawa niya dito sa movie. Sana naman hindi baka di na siya payagan uli gumawa ng movie dito.

Hi aken03, o nga naman, share naman more Ken infos. I'd love to know more about him

“Wow, this is something,” sambit ni Iza nang makausap namin after ng first presscon ng Batanes sa 17th Floor ng GMA Network building. “Suwerte ko naman na nabigyan ako ng ganitong pagkakataon. I hope I can live up to their expectations. Maraming salamat.”

Hindi lang namin naitanong kay Iza or any representative ng GMA Films kung kasama na ang Batanes sa five-picture contract deal na pinirma-han ng aktres. Ang “Batanes” ay co-production venture ng GMA Films at Ignite Media.

But one thing is sure, excited si Iza sa proyektong ito dahil leading lady lang naman siya ng F4 Member na si Ken Chu (ito raw ang right spelling ng surname ng Taiwanese superstar). Like Ken, hindi nauubusan ng magagandang adjectives si Iza patungkol sa isla ng Batanes.

"It’s so pure,” kuwento niya. “I love the place. ‘Yung innocence at simplicity ng place. ‘Yung pagiging untouched territory nito, which I hope remains like that. Parang hindi pa ito nae-exploit. I was overwhelmed by the place.”

Tulad ng pagkukuwento ni Iza, naisalarawan din ito sa pelikulang Batanes nina direk Adolf Alix, Jr. at Dave Hukom.

“It’s really a beautiful place. Tulad ng iba pang cast member, I also felt in-love with Batanes. When I did ‘Kadin,’ sinabi ko sa sarili ko na babalikan ko ito. Tamang-tama naman ‘yung istorya ng ‘Batanes,’ so nagkaroon uli ako ng chance to return to the place,” pagmamalaki na

Batanes hits the big screen on December 5. Prior to the big day, magkakaroon muna ng special screening ang Batanes sa mismong probinsiya. We heard, ililipad ng GMA Films at Ignite Media ang ilang members ng media para saksihan ang pagtatanghal doon.

Maliban kina Iza at Ken, nasa cast pa rin ng Batanes sina Bembol Roco, Daria Ramirez, Mike Tan, Coco Martin and Joem Bascon, an ABS-CBN Star Magic talent who gets his biggest break in the movie. (Lito Manago)

Truth & Views- November 18, 2007
by Rommel Gonzales


Iza, Kay Ken Zhu Naloloka!

HINDI pala F4 fan si Iza Calzado!

"Hindi, hindi ako ganu'n ka-fan, I was aware, kilala ko 'yan, lahat ng mga kaibigan ko..."

At ang medyo type niya sa grupo noon ay si Vic Zhou, hindi si Ken Zhu na ginawang Chu ang apelyido for "Batanes", ang movie ng GMA Films at Ignite Media, Inc.

Wala bang wishful thinking si Iza na sana si Vic na lang or si Jerry Yan ang naging leading man niya sa pelikula?

"Hindi."

Nang una niyang nakita si Ken...

"Wala, sabi ko lang, 'Ay it's him!, sabi ko siya yung parang wala akong masyadong alam na background niya, which is good.

"I think, ang maganda doon is since hindi nga ako ganu'n yung ka-big fanatic, at least hindi ako kinakabahan sa bawat eksena, or hindi ako yung... yung pagka-s t a r s t r u c k ko, yung starstruck ko lang na parang wow, he's an Asian superstar!

"Alam ko lang 'yun matter of fact, pero hindi ako yung para, 'Oh my God, oh my God!', walang ganu'ng factor."

Hollywood actress si Iza, si Ken, hindi pa nagha-Hollywood.

"But you know what? He is superstar, kahit na pagbalig-baligtarin ninyo ang mundo. Apparently, du'n kasi sa kanila may mga paparazzi, ganu'n, narating na niya yung... kumbaga ano na siya, sobrang made na made na in Asia.

"Until now ha, nakakaloka! Sa internet talagang ang dami niyang fans! Kakaiba! Na kumbaga... nakalagay pa du'n sa isang comment sa Youtube na parang, 'I love Ken Zhu, now I like Iza, too', parang ako, "Wow, thank you, nadawit pa ako!"

Ipapalabas na sa December 5 ang "Batanes" which also stars Mike Tan, Sid Lucero, Joem Bascon at Glaiza de Castro.

By the way, si Iza ang nag-iisang babae (si Richard Gutierrez ang nag-iisang lalaki) na may exclusive contract sa GMA Films.

Mga Bakla Inggit kay Iza


Inggit na inggit kay Iza Calzado ang mga bading sa set ng Batanes, dahil nang tinuruan siya ng tai chi ni Ken Zhu, hinawakan ang kanyang tiyan. Tapos, sa last shooting day, minasahe inito ang kanyang hita na nagka-pulled muscles. Biniro itong umarte lang para maka-chansing sa Taiwanese singer-actor.

Kinabahan si Iza nang unang dumating sa Batanes si Ken dahil Asian superstar ito at baka umarteng superstar, pero sobrang grounded ito at hindi nagsasayang ng pagkain. Walang reklamong kinain ang malamig na noodles dahil ayaw maulit ang nangyari noong 'di pa siya sikat na hindi siya kumain for three days dahil walang pambili.

Samantala, ipapalabas sa SOP ang full-trailer ng Batanes.

I couldn't agree more, angeldream. Wow! Ken is sooooooo lucky he has passionate fans here. I bet if he could only read this and understand tagalog, he would be so proud to have you guys. Continue to post more info for the benefit of those new "keniac" like me. With all the media attention and positive feedback hes getting, I'm sure madami dyan eager to learn to know more about him. About the movie, O nga no, pano kaya nila ma bridge ung language barrier (tagalog-mandarin) at saka ung love scenes, di lang head shots but he took a step further by baring his back :p , to make the movie more realistic cguro. Di kaya magalit ang management niya sa pinagagawa niya dito sa movie. Sana naman hindi baka di na siya payagan uli gumawa ng movie dito.

Iza, Ken Chu in story of love without borders
The Philippine Star
November 19, 2007

There’s nothing like a great love story to move us. Love may slip through your fingers but life goes on. There’s always a better promise of things to come. Love may be lovelier the second time around.

Ignite Media and GMA Films’ Batanes is a heartwarming study of a relationship between tow cultures. Hence the tagline, ‘Love knows no borders.’

Director Adolf Alix Jr. (Donsol, Kadin, Tambolista) and Dave Hukom describe the film as a poignant who may or may not end up together, ‘Though they are from different cultures, they will prove that love is very universal. Emotions know no boundaries,’ the directors share.

With its vast landscapes, rough seas and ever-changing weather, Batanes is the perfect backdrop of the movie. Itself being an interesting character, Batanes may represent the gamut of emotions the characters feel when they fall for each other. Sweeping yet bittersweet.

Taiwanese superstar Ken Chu (Meteor Garden, Tokyo Ttrial) stars in his first Filipino film with Iza Calzado (Moments of Love, The Echo) in Batanes.

Also in the movie are Bembol Roco, Daria Ramirez, Julio Diaz, Joem Basco, Sid Lucero, Coco Martin, Mike Tan and Glaiza De Castro.

Sponsored by Asian Sprit, Fuji, Film, Senco Link Technologies, Batanes opens on December 5 in theaters nationwide.

LINXILEI ON GETTING MARRIED TO KEN CHU:
IT ALL DEPENDS ON DESTINY

Linxilei says that media reports wont affect her relationship with friends.
In work, she has director duqifeng as protector. In her lovelife, she has been romantically linked to KEN CHU for the past 2 years. July this year, their relationship was only exposed when media captured pictures of them wearing lovers’ outfit looking out from the window of her house. Is KEN her soul-mate? She said: “I don’t know, it depends on destiny.”

They will continue to date and watch movies

The romantic relation between linxilei and KEN CHU started 2 years ago when they worked together in tokyo trial, but was only proven when next-mag exposed their pictures. Its now exposed to the public that they have unusual relationship, but she only admits that KEN is a good friend. She insists though that: “we will still go out on dates, dine out and watch movies in the future, we wont be affected by anyone.”

Before she filmed tokyo trial, she said she will not get married in 2 years. Now 2 years have passed, her family is pushing her to settle down. She also wishes to have her own family and kids soon. Is KEN CHU her marriage partner? She said: “I really don’t know if our relationship can develop into marriage, but I truly wish to get married to someone I love, so I can have a baby soonest.”

Linxilei and KEN CHU were caught living-in and wearing lovers-outfit.

Iza gets more than ego massage from Ken Chu
MovieGoer Nestor Cuartero

NOT HAVING been a fan of the Taiwanese group, F4, Iza Calzado apologized to its leading member, Ken Chu, her leading man in the movie, ‘Batanes,’ over her cluelessness on the pop group. Iza had thought F4 was nothing but a boy band, and as boy bands went, they usually couldn’t sing. How impressed, and how surprised she was, when she heard Ken sing, not just once but several times on the windswept, sun-kissed set of Batanes. ‘He truly has a good singing voice,’ she says now.

Working with a Taiwanese superstar was surprisingly a breeze, according to Iza, who herself can be considered a global actress. Before filming ‘Batanes’ in the northernmost island of the country, Iza had just finished shooting the English-language version of her old film, ‘Sigaw’ (Echo), in a Canadian sound studio opposite American actors, notably Jesse Bradford. ‘Echo’ is set for international release.
Iza described Ken as a sweet man, quite humble and friendly. ‘When I sprained my leg during a scene, he gave me a massage. He also taught me basic tai-chi.’

‘Batanes,’ described as a picturesque romance, tells a young widow’s whirlwind relationship with a foreigner, a Taiwanese fisherman washed ashore and whom she nurses back to life and love. The movie, opening on Dec. 5, is a joint venture between Ignite Media and GMA Films and directed by Adolf Alix, Jr. and Dave Hukom.
During a ‘Batanes’ media dinner recently, Iza announced she’s now formally an exclusive talent signed to a contract by GMA Films. Following ‘Batanes,’ she will be seen next in a reunion film with Dingdong Dantes (they scored a hit together in ‘Moments of Love’) and another film called ‘Kusina,’ based on a Palanca award-winning script.

Ken, walang star complex

NOTHING but praises para sa Asian superstar na si Ken Chu ang mga direktor at co-star niya sa GMA Films at Ignite Media joint venture na Batanes.

Ayon kina Direk Adolf Alix Jr. at Dave Hukom, nu’ng una’y hindi nila alam kung paano iha-handle si Ken considering his stature bilang sikat na miyembro ng grupong F4 ng Meteor Garden.

Pero, laking gulat nila nang ma-realize na down to earth ito’t walang star complex habang nagsu-shoot.

Tahimik daw ito most of the time, pero matamang nakikinig at sumusunod sa instructions at nagpakita pa ng concern nang muntik silang gahulin sa oras ng pagtatrabaho.

Maging ang 12-hour work per day na kondisyones ng management outfit nito’y hindi nasunod, pero nanatili pa ring supportive sa fellow workers.

First week of December nakatakdang bumalik ng ’Pinas ang aktor para tumulong sa promo ng Batanes kasama ang leading lady na si Iza Calzado.

He is super like to concentrate on photography and filming. Everyone knows that Xiao Tian loves taking pictures, last year when F4 went to Japan; he brought his recently (in HK) purchased Because he would be photographed often so it turned into a hobby for him, he said it’s difficult to turn into the subject of the photography. One time during filming, he used his own and took a picture of a stray cat. When he came to Japan in May, Ken has not changed his strong interest In between translations during the press conference, he kept staring at something offstage. In fact he was staring at the photographic apparatus; which were set by the reporters in front of the stage.

F4 didn’t become a group because of work, they are really good friends. It seems that super independent Xiao Tian is the dad, actually, in many of the activities when he is alone he will feel lonely. He cherishes the times when they would all work together. He has said this many times. It has this kind of significance, the best time for Xiao Tian was the HK concert. F4 are best friends, not only work a companion; that is why it’s impossible for them to disband. He really made an effort in telling this.

Take lang siya ng take ng pictures!” (When we traveled from Sabtang to Basco, the main island. He was at the back. He didn't mind the heat (or humidity) He just kept on taking pictures.)

During the shooting(of this magazine interview), there was still music (http://www.tsinoy.com/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=761256#) floating. It came out from the personal player which Ken carrys with him, it came with the piano (http://www.tsinoy.com/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=761256#), unique songs and oldies.During each interval, he would run to his player and change the music, being his own at this time, his expressions would be very happy.

"I like music from the 1970s, i seldom listen to the pop music nowadays. That's because there's too much turns and fakes in it. The Beatles is my favourite, i love each of their songs and i can sing it out."

When most of the adults was not agreeable with F4 who got popular some friends would tell me, they prefered Ken Chu as he potrayed his talents in his MUSIC...

"Music can always potray the real things, although everyone has their likes and dislikes for showing their own style and way of expressing. But, because of having it, i didn't go crazy while i was on the path, it's true."

“He wouldn’t mind waiting for hours, basta may kausap siya, may sounds siya.” Glaiza took note of this because she too Check out this article for proof! In fact, she and Iza asked Ken to listen to OPM (Original Pilipino Music). (He wouldn't mind waiting for hours, as long as he has someone to talk to and there is music)

When asked if Iza had a crush on the F4 in the past, she candidly replied, "Not me, I told him, I just said something to him, I apologized for something.

"Kasi mahilig siyang kumanta, so sinabi ko... Kasi, di ba, minsan, ‘pag may mga , duda ka kung kumakanta nga ba talaga sila. One night in Batanes, sinabi ko sa kanya, ‘You know what Ken, I have to apologize for something. I actually thought you guys [F4] couldn't sing.'

Ken, walang star complex

NOTHING but praises para sa Asian superstar na si Ken Chu ang mga direktor at co-star niya sa GMA Films at Ignite Media joint venture na Batanes.

Ayon kina Direk Adolf Alix Jr. at Dave Hukom, nu’ng una’y hindi nila alam kung paano iha-handle si Ken considering his stature bilang sikat na miyembro ng grupong F4 ng Meteor Garden.

Pero, laking gulat nila nang ma-realize na down to earth ito’t walang star complex habang nagsu-shoot.

Tahimik daw ito most of the time, pero matamang nakikinig at sumusunod sa instructions at nagpakita pa ng concern nang muntik silang gahulin sa oras ng pagtatrabaho.

Maging ang 12-hour work per day na kondisyones ng management outfit nito’y hindi nasunod, pero nanatili pa ring supportive sa fellow workers.

First week of December nakatakdang bumalik ng ’Pinas ang aktor para tumulong sa promo ng Batanes kasama ang leading lady na si Iza Calzado.

Love Knows No Borders in 'Batanes'
posted on Tuesday November 20, 2007

There's nothing like a great love story to move us. Love may slip through your fingers but life goes on. There's always a better promise of things to come. Love may be lovelier the second time around.
http://www.clickthecity.com/img2/articles/CTC-2393-image4.jpg

In Ignite Media and GMA Films' "Batanes," love is at the center of this moving and powerful film- a heartwarming study of a relationship between two cultures. Hence the tagline, "Love knows no borders."

Directors Adolfo Alix, Jr. (Donsol, Kadin, Tambolista) and Dave Hukom describe the film as a poignant love story about two people who may or may not end up together. "Though they are from different cultures, they'll prove that love is very universal. Emotions know no boundaries," the directors share.
With its vast landscapes, rough seas and ever-changing weather, Batanes is the perfect backdrop to this groundbreaking movie. Itself being an interesting character, Batanes may represent the gamut of emotions the characters feel when they fall for each other. Sweeping yet bittersweet.

Taiwanese superstar Ken Chu (Meteor Garden, Tokyo Trial) stars in his first Filipino film with Iza Calzado (Moments of Love, The Echo) in this romance drama.
The film also boasts of a powerhouse ensemble cast- newcomer Joem Bascon, Sid Lucero, Coco Martin, Mike Tan and Glaiza de Castro with acting heavyweights Bembol Roco, Daria Ramirez and Julio Diaz.

On board are line producer Arleen Cuevas, cinematographer Ramoncito Redoble , editor Miren Alvarez-Fabregas, sound recordist Mark Locsin, sound engineer Ditoy Aguila, production designer Cyrus Khan and music composer Jesse Lucas.
"Batanes" is sponsored by Asian Spirit, Fuji Film and Senco Link Technologies. The movie opens on December 5 in theaters nationwide.

KEN CHU.....HEART AND SOUL:)

Ken Chu: I don’t want to be an idol.
Zi Xun Dao Kan June 1, 2006

Each time you look at Ken Chu and the other F4 members stand together, always smiling sometimes rather forced or awkward. Indeed with this group of beautiful males Ken Chu is somewhat ordinary not as wild as Jerry Yan, not as cute as ZaiZai, and can’t compare to the grace of Vanness, but he has his own glamour and charm,
just look at his succession of scandals and you’ll know that he has a lot of sex appeal.

As a result, Ken Chu has gone all out in his work, releasing an album, writing a recipe book, making films, releasing a string of works to prove his own strength. To break off from the F4 title, showing his radiance. Soon after he made the movie “Tokyo Trials,” after experiencing so many twist and turns, it is soon to be released nationwide. With a historical theme, he plays a famous, rich, righteous reporter, Xiao Nan, for this role Ken is excited he says, “This is really a great film, I hope that it can arouse all of China’s love for country.

KEN CHU....HEART AND SOUL:)



Yu: Have you seen the movie “Tokyo Trials?” What in the entire film gave you the biggest feeling?

Ken: I have seen the film, although I have seen 20 minutes of it. I was shocked especially the court scenes, it has historical records and it gave a dignified feeling, a lot of senior actors played their role really great.

Yu: Do you feel that they got you for commercial reasons or did the role really suit you?

Ken: I don’t know why they got me. I feel that it could be both. I am very fortunate to play a role that is so different from the past. I really went through a lot for this role.

Yu: You’re very fashionable. You have lived overseas for a long time, what experience did you use to feel those wartime years.

Ken: An actor should exert some effort in getting as close to the part he is playing; prior to filming, I did my homework, I watched a lot of documentary films made on that period. Also my Papa is a Nanjing person. We talked a lot about the circumstances of that period. So prior to filming I already had a deep impression of the tragic and miserable events of that time.

Yu: You played a few idol dramas, and you also have a lot of fans, but for this film you grew a beard aren’t you scared of destroying your image?

Ken: Xiao Nan is a reporter, he is busy running around; also, and in that year you can’t care too much about your appearance it’s not normal. I believe movie fans will see the movie. And won’t fuss about my appearance whether or not I am good looking, the most important thing is that it’s in accordance with the needs of the role.

Yu: Can you tell us about your role and story of this film?

Ken: The weather that time was so hot; it was unforgettable. It was Beijing’s hottest time. Specially the indoor scenes, there were many people and the lights were many and intense. Adding to that was the sound recording; we can’t turn on the air-conditioning, electric fan. The filming took a long time and I was sweating profusely, I needed to stop for make up. I specially admire Liu Song Ren, Zeng Jiang and the rest of the senior actors; from the beginning till the end they were always dressed in thick western suit and didn’t even complain.

KEN CHU.....HEART AND SOUL:)


Yu: This film put together, Liu Song Ren, Ying Da, Zeng Jiang, Zeng Zhi Wei etc. many senior actors. Acting with them, did you feel a lot of pressure?

Ken: They’re all outstanding actors, they have given a lot for this film and I learned a lot of things. Not only from them but also with the staff they were all professionals. Although the conditions were difficult and rough everyone exerted all their efforts to come up with the best.

Yu: Were there any regrets after you finished filming?

Ken: After each filming when I watch myself there will always be regrets but I haven’t seen the entire film so I don’t really know. But I have done my best for this film so that should be enough.

Yu: If you were born in the time of warfare what occupation will you choose to do?

Ken: It hasn’t really crossed my mind, but I could be a reporter, because in this film I acted as a reporter. As an actor now I get to be interviewed by reporters. I also want to try to interview other people and know their feelings.

Yu: After F4’s solo career, how did it affect you, did you anticipate it? In what direction do you want to develop?

Ken: This year at the HK Concert we feel that the response of the fans was especially warm. I feel that fans compared to before is still enthusiastic. From now on, if there is an opportunity, we will still work together. For me, I hope we can do some works with meaning, for example “Tokyo Trials” this type of work. Although my part is not big, it has a lot of significance and meaning.

Yu: You have stayed in a lot of places, which is your favorite?

Ken: Of course my favorite place is Taiwan because my family is there.

From Mingpao Daily Weekly

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b167/SleepyAngels/mingpaoweekly2036-03.jpg

Translation of the last part of this article by Airhead

Ken is smart, but in relationship frankly speaking he's a loser, he often felt being used by others, every time he appears with scandals, he never for once said anything. "In this aspect, what man suffers doesn't really matter, if he can be used then let him be used. Everytime, I'm not willing to response, speaking the truth would hurt the woman a lot, I do not have anything to say, just let people think i'm a big playboy."

So what about the love with LXL? He evades from the question by saying "there's no such thing! Just friends, this matter, if you pay too close attention it won't get anywhere, sometimes reading from the news are more incredible than the truth"

The most unforgettable was a Zai Zai fan. One year we went to Las Vegas and a mother gave him a red packet. There was USD$200,000 inside! In the end Zai Zai donated all of it to charity

LET'S ALL GET 2 KNOW.....KEN CHU!!!!:)

[joeyreyes]

Chu Xiao Tian, strengthened without an urge


Source: Ming Pao Weekly; issue no. 2036
Date: November 17, 2007
Intervier/writer: Wang Man Ling, a senior reporter with 30 years of experience


Knowing too well of this resplendent stardom, faded in and out.
Being in this show business, life is just like a story of a movie.
Someone's story could just flashes like a joke in a casual talk.

I am not familiar with any of the members of the extremely famous F4. I only talked to Yan Cheng Xu (Jerry) once. This time when I went to Taiwan, I happened to meet Zhu Xiao Tian (Ken) in an occasion. So many questions raised in my mind while talking to him. I am so surprised at his mature thinking which is really way beyond his idol appearance.

Being in this eager for fame and gain show business world, yet he insist not to seek for the same with a thorough understanding. The ups and downs from his family make him realized that all the pain and gain is only an illusion. It is not in esse. Instead, he pursue for a natural life that harmonize with the Nature. Zhuang Zi (an ideologist) opts to go on a happy-go-lucky lifestyle. He suggested treating things casually. However, Ken only admire Lie Zi (a philosopher) and his philosophy namely "Riding on winds". Compared the two, Ken thinks Zhuang Zi was more into reality whereas Lie Zi preferred to keep silent.

He likes rural life. He raised pig. He loves cooking. He said, "I will be a chef if I am no longer an artist." He published a book titled "Chu Xiao Tian's Delicious Relationship" which is one of the best sellers in Taiwan. He is fond of travelling. In his words, travelling is to bear all the unpleasant burdens with one, releasing the load pieces by pieces from one point to the next until everything is let go. Then you will feel relaxed by the time you return home.

Many people concern about whether F4 is going solo. Chu Xiao Tian directly explained, "Actually, we do not purposely get separated. We will come back together for work. (Conflicts?) No disagreements. No conflicts. We are aware of our position in this market. There is no need to compete." Spent eight years in show business, they all understand it will go downhill after reaching the peak. Even going downhill, one can still enjoy a pleasant trip along this way. He said, "I encountered too many times on these big raises and drops since I was young."

30 years ago, Ken's father owned a business that made a profit of TWD $2 millions a day. When he was born, his family drove a S-class Mercedez Benz and a BMW to pick him up from the hospital. Unfortunately, his father's business collapsed in just one night. His life doomed. "Later, mom made a turn from stock trading. However, she suffered loss again one day." Speaking of speculation, he learned about it since his early years given the exposures. "But I never touch it. It is in no difference of gambling. I have been to the casino in Las Vagas. I limited myself on only US$200 to try my luck and set a period of time. No matter if I win or lose, I withdraw myself from it. I knew it too well. When a person becomes greedy, he or she will lose everything. I have seen too much of that." Other than learning from actual experiences, one has to learn self-awakening. Once you lose the balance and start chasing for the lost, the greed grows.


Too much money rendered it meaningless

Zhu Xiao Tian leisurely expressed, "Sometimes, it becomes meaningless when there is too much money. Money (speculation) fluctuates. It is unreal. Especially when it comes to futures. It is not worth an attempt. Let's say, trading out potatoes or corns. If that was a fruitful year, prices slumped. What can you do? Eating potatoes for the rest of your life? A person is strengthened when one does not have an urge." Zhu Xiao Tian believes, it is always more substantial to earn a living on his own. "You want something, go get it on your own. I started working since I was fifteen. I did not ask for a penny from my family since I turned 17. When I was 22 years-old, I began to support my family. I didn't dream of winning lottery because some windfalls may not be a blessing."

Zhu Xiao Tian worked in different fields prior to working in show business. Working for a Japanese restaurant "Shi Er Shao" was one of the well known. He started as a dish cleaner but promoted to be a chief chef after all the hard-works. He calmly said, "If one day, I lost everything I had currently, would I be able to return to the same job at "Shi Er Shao"? My answer is definite, yes, I would. There is nothing I can't face. Fame and reputation could be gone in a flash even though I have it today. It won't hurt me too much. Human desires are merely a hallucination." With such awareness, Chu Xiao Tian felt, "I seldom get up-set. I understand that there are things beyond my control, especially when face the dark side of humanity." He is now 29 years-old but his friend said he is about 48 years-old spiritually.

He practices Tai Chi daily in the early mornings, 3 or 4 days a week and 3 to 4 hours each time. He even study Chinese medicine and traditional massage. He also paid attention on history. Last October, he represented Taiwan and won the free-style (Taichi) champion in a competition held in Spain. He learned the Yang Clan's Taichi, an exclusively conducted martial art only available in Taiwan. Yet it is also controversial. He plans to open classes to promote martial art. "Good health begin with proper eating and physical exercise. I managed to look after on both sides. No one would be able to take these from you." He won't leave the show business. Acting is his job but not his career. He realizes that one requires money to sustain a dream.

A few brushes with Death

His Taichi teacher greatly appreciated his hard work. His achievements surpassed someone who studied for 30 years despite he has only studied for a year. His teacher often gives him private lessons so he has improved quickly. Since he is so concentrated on his work, he can always break through from the bottlenecks and move on. "I study, make reference from old literatures and observe others. Apart from martial arts, I am no good at other sports, not even for table tennis or dancing."

He studied hard on Taichi for the sake of good health. He always have some problems with the liver because he drink too much wine. When filming Chu Liu Xiang, whether the shooting went go or bad, they drink white wines (Mao Tai, Er Guo Tou). He got no problem finishing one or two bottles in a roll. "My father suffered hepatocirrhosis. Initially he was diagnosed with only one year to live but he made it through for 5 years. At last he died of pneumonia." One has to be talented to master on martial arts. Besides, a good teacher is paramount. Most importantly he has to work hard (the most difficult part). Looking at his enthusiasm, I asked, "Being a martial teacher, it may not make any money, right?" "Not necessary, that depends on how you manage it. I learned market, packaging from the entertainment business. I known that I myself is also a product."

Paying attention on proper diet, Zhu Xiao Tian tries to avoid relying on medications. He prefers health products. "I suffered from asthma ever since I was a child. I was not healthy and kept taking many medications. I took too many steroids and had a few brushes with death. My friends recommended me to do Yoga which helped me to slim off my swelled face and expel the poisons from my body. Ever since then I stopped taking medications though I am sick, not even taking Chinese herbal medicines."

Portray Chu Liu Xiang for his father

Zhu Xiao Tian appears to be the less outstanding member among the F4. “It is like playing chess. I don’t win today, yet I’m looking forward to the next, whether I will be in again. I believe I can handle it with no fancy. What can you ask for? Lord test-out you before He appointed you with a bigger challenge. I never questioned about my talent. A hammer no doubt could break through a bag (ie. One could break through hardships with persistence). I have so much to do despite others don’t have any idea about it. I won’t starve even I am not acting. ‘For example, He is good at cooking (TVB should hire him for their cookery program, what a perfect match!). He speaks fluent English and Cantonese (learned while study in Singapore).

In fact, he has so many talents. He likes photography, designs. During our interview, he gave me a present, a T-shirt printed with acupuncture points and names. These are learned from his daily life and being expressed on his designs. He even uses “I.Ken” to be the brand name. Although it comes 1500 a lot each time, they are quickly sold out of stock. He does not make too much profit on it but he enjoys it so much. Compared to his acting that can bring him a decent return, he seems less enthusiastic at it. He would turn them down when being approached. Not long ago, he accepted a job to portray Chu Liu Xiang. At first, he refused. At that time, his father was seriously ill. The father told his son he probably can’t make it this time. Zhu Xiao Tian knew his father like watching drama and was a Chu Liu Xiang fan. He finally take the job so he can do one last thing for his Dad. His father was so happy to see his Chu Liu Xiang image. One month later, he passed away. “He can’t wait for my performance,” Chu Xiao Tian said sadly.

Iza and Ken bibigyan ng Key sa Batanes

November 22, 2007 05:55 PM Thursday

Bibigyan daw ng key sa city ng Batanes sina Iza Calzado at Ken Chu dahil doon nag-shooting ng Batanes.

Dapat isama rin sa bibigyan ng susi si Direk Adolf Alix Jr. dahil idea niyang doon mag-shooting nang makita kung gaano kaganda ang lugar.

Ang ganda ng description nito sa Batanes na “It’s a mixture of different countries and it can rival New Zealand.”

Nabanggit din ni Direk Adolf na hindi si Ken ang talagang target nilang makapareha ni Iza, basta Taiwanese actor lang, but a friend, Arlene Cuevas, was able to get in touch with him.

Noong una’y ayaw ng management nitong tanggapin ang project, pero si Ken ang nasunod.

Maraming binanggit na gagawing pelikula si Adolf after Batanes at ang nasulat lang namin ay Daybreak, Spratly, Manila by Night/Jaguar at isa sa GMA Films.

Magdidirek din siya ng TV show sa GMA-7 na bawal pang sabihin.

Sa December 5 na ang showing ng Batanes, na co-produced ng GMA Films at Ignite Media ni Dave Hukom, co-director ni Adolf sa movie.

Have no confidence in marriage9e
Nh#k)i%W'ld
A z.ooQ8v
He does not trust . ¡§I am so clear about it ever since I was young. There are too many divorces. That piece of paper won¡¦t have any binding effects if two persons with no affection (http://www.tsinoy.com/forum/editpost.php#) with each other.¡¨ In his viewpoints, ¡§Everyone blames man of fooling around. Women have to work her very best making her man think that he can¡¦t lose her. Man would also evaluate whether he could afford it before taking any action. He won¡¦t take the risk if he can¡¦t afford it. Physiologically, Man wish to propagate his DNA (http://www.tsinoy.com/forum/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=762173#) onward. That cannot be avoided. However, this will be under rational disciplines. Man and dogs are in no difference. I worked for a pet shop.

Sige po direk, abangan namin yan...

[aken03]

For everyone's information......

we need to gather 400 people to watch the premiere of Batanes , this will make the producers decide on opening a separate cinema to accomodate our request before of 320 tickets......

Lets all work on this because I'm sure our efforts willl be much appreciated and the producers wont disappoint us by not letting us see KEN ......

some people have become worried over this development....but Premiere showings normally are very limited to guest, sponsors and VIPS and other celebrities...

so the possibility of KEN not staying with us on the new cinema is very high..

but i'm sure ....and i hope that producers will let us see him..

so lets all work on this people....

Please go to KCIFC phils. (http://z8.invisionfree.com/kcifc_ph/index.php?showtopic=955&st=40)

Hi to all Keniacs! Yay, I've been away for a couple of days and now KEN info overload ang sasalubong sa KEN! Goodness, THE MAN never fails to amaze me. I ran out of words to say, really. Every word he said made sense, coming from a person who has been through so much at a young age. Buti na lang lumaki siyang matino despite the odds hes been through. His mom, brother and sister must be so proud of him. I like the "I am the only person who can defeat me in this world! No one else can knock me down" part. I guess thats my new mantra, morale booster :) .

Malapit na showing ng movie, I'm soooo excited na :D I wanna see the ever talked-about love scenes :p

[11/23] The Chinese-Style Wrestling Tournament invited Ken as guest demonstrator

Chinese-Style Wrestling International Tournament commence
Invited public to a free wrestling demonstration performed by F4

Reported by: Qu Xiao You

Today's afternoon, the opening ceremony of Chinese Taizhou 2007 Chinese-Style Wrestling International Tournament is held at Taizhou Sports Center, Jiangsu. Famous F4 singer Chu Xiao Tian from Taiwan is invited to the open show ceremony for a "Wrestling demonstration" performance. Chu Xiao Tian is earnest in contributing his modest effort to advocate the Chinese-Style Wrestling."

A total of 105 wrestling athletes coming from 12 countries and 15 regional teams take part in this international event. This Tournament, which took place in a southern Chinese city for the first time, is considered as the major annual international competition for Chinese-Style Wrestling. It also received numerous sponsorships from well-known business organizations. Among these sponsors, Mr. Huang Jin Neng, President of Shanghai Xiang Wang Laundry Management Company attended the ceremony at Taizhou. He also paid a sincere visit to the athletes and coaches of China-Taipei team.

The 105 participating athletes came from United States, Brazil, Canada, Span, France, Germany and several regions. The Mongolian Team is a stronger team among the rest. For this current event, Chinese Wrestling Association appointed 2 teams to join this competition. The first team came from the national special training athletics, whereas the second team is elected from Taizhou Youth Athletic School. According to the organizer, Taizhou is an emerging city with graduate improvements in its athletic standards in the province of Jiangsu. In recent 5 years, it took 6 world cup championships and 18 Asian championships. Out of these achievements, the non-Olympic event, Chinese-Style Wrestling demonstrated a strong potential and referred 18 outstanding talents for senior advancement.

Chinese-Style Wrestling becomes the current fad around the world, especially in Europe where thousands fall for it. This competition was zealous advocated by Mr. Zhou Shi Bin, the famous athletics and boxing champion, before he passed away. Taizhou Sports Council allied with Shanghai Bei Hai Zhou Shi Bin Sports Club to organize and coordinate the whole event after 2 years in-depth planning. In addition, the Weight-lifting, Wrestling and Judo Athletic Management Center of National Sports Council and the Chinese-Style Wrestling Association are also the associated organizers. The competition will be carried out for 2 days. Respective champions for all male and female classes will be affirmed by 6pm. on the 25th afternoon. The whole competition is open for free viewing to the local public.

An Open letter/post to JenZhu

Hi Jen:

Buti na lang me tickets na kayo... At least me fans si ken/F4 sa loob. If ignite cannot really accomodate us, sa labas na lang kami with lightboards and banners para makita ni ken ang suporta sa kanya. So kami sa labas, kayo na bahala sa loob.

Frustrated talaga kami kasi ginagawa pa lang ni ken ung movie, hindi pa alam kung me premier night kasi indipendent film nga, wala pang playdate, walang idea kung me premier night at magkano tickets, eh nakiki pag-usap na sina honeybums and rachel sa producers, for ticket reservations kung meron mang premier night, para sa fans ni Ken at ng F4 sa kabuuan. Ang katwiran natin, gumagastos nga tayo para sundan at puntahan sila sa mga activities nila sa ibang bansa, yun pa kayang nandito na ang isa sa kanila? Baka they thought yung F4 fans eh basta-basta lang... baka hindi nila alam we are all professionals and we have all gone out of the country just to watch their concerts, album launchings and even in the cookbook launching of ken, we have Filipino fans there...Last October 28, 2007... kahit andito na si Ken na gumagawa ng movie, still there were many Filipino fans na pumunta ng Taiwan just to see F4 and support them...

Minsan, nakakasama ng loob. Dahil we know indipendent films doesn't earn much here in movie theaters, we did our best to promote this film here and abroad kasi ayaw nating hindi kumita yung movie ni ken dito.Tapos lahat ng efforts eh parang binalewala nang maging mainstream na yung movie:mad: Then Arlene Cuevas came up with and offered an alternative, yun nga, to open another theater provided kaya natin ang 400 seats. Okay na sana kasi we can work on that. Ang sama lang, she could not guarantee us the presence of Ken in this another theater. So what would we expect? Madami syempre ayaw ng ganun... premier night nga eh... para ka ding nanood sa regular showing ng pelikula..

Anyway, I am very happy na kahit papano meron pa din fans na makakapasok sa loob. Ken will definitely be amazed watching you guys screaming out loud when it comes to his bed scenes at bareback. Tumili kayo ng malakas, ha? O siya, naibuhos ko na sentiments ko... ingat ka palagi!

Support pa din tayo sa SOP, Showbiz Central, Fans Day sa Trinoma, most fans have already filed their leave of absence from work, premier night kahit labas lang tayo, at everyday na panonood starting from Dec 5 up to the last showing day. Ganyan tayo ka supportive sa F4...

[partygirl]

Naku thanks po sa lahat ng nag welcome sa akin sa kahapon thanks po talaga try ko po makapunta Ken event sana makita ko kayo din! Ingat:p

Hi to all Keniacs! Yay, I've been away for a couple of days and now KEN info overload ang sasalubong sa KEN! Goodness, THE MAN never fails to amaze me. I ran out of words to say, really. Every word he said made sense, coming from a person who has been through so much at a young age. Buti na lang lumaki siyang matino despite the odds hes been through. His mom, brother and sister must be so proud of him. I like the "I am the only person who can defeat me in this world! No one else can knock me down" part. I guess thats my new mantra, morale booster .

Malapit na showing ng movie, I'm soooo excited na I wanna see the ever talked-about love scenes

hello to all the keniacs. :) it's kind of overwhelming to be here, i've never seen a group of people as supportive and dedicated as you all are. if only ken can read this forum -- he's truly very lucky to have you guys around!

i hope you guys don't mind, i just would like to write a few of my thoughts here regarding flower four's recent post on tita vayz's open letter to jenzhu. here goes: the words "independent" and "mainstream" are actually both applicable to the movie "batanes". its independent in the sense that the producers are not mainstream / big studio producers (like regal, viva, star cinema, etc) who churn out big-budgeted commercial movies 3 to 5 times in a year. as we all know, this is ignite's first venture as a film producer. its also independent in the sense that a lot of the key staff and actors in the movie are more involved in independent film productions. on the other hand, its mainstream in the sense that budget-wise, it was produced with a budget that's way bigger than the budgets that indie productions are used to work around with. what makes it also mainstream is the fact that it's going to be shown nationwide when it opens on dec 5 -- its theatrical run is not limited to the known indie film venues. i know for a fact that even before the shoot of the movie, during the pre-production stage, its has always been the plan of the producers to release "batanes" nationwide. since the start, "batanes" has always been a "hybrid" or a cross between an independent and mainstream material -- it has characteristics of both classifications. i guess what i'm saying is its not an indie film that suddenly became a mainstream movie in the middle of production, or vise versa. :) also po, i have it on reliable authority that wala pang may tickets sa premier sa ngayon. no one, not even the producers or vips have ticket reservations as of this day. in fact, the design of the ticket has just been approved today, sunday. i'm just clarifying this so that the people here won't get frustrated thinking that tickets have been reserved already, when actually wala pa naman talaga. its a fact that the producers very much appreciate how much you guys support "batanes", they are very grateful for all the encouragement you've so far given them on this endeavor. they are very much familiar with who and what the f4 fans are -- they have friends who are actually f4 fans, people who have supported f4 since their meteor garden days until now. rest assured that the producers don't think that you guys are "basta-basta lang", to quote the letter. the fact is, they would like to accomodate all of you -- the reality is, aken03 (hi!) is right -- premier nights are normally limited to the vips, guests, sponsors, celebrities and their guests. also in a premier, the ones that worked hard on the film from pre to post production are given priority -- this is understandable considering that the film was completed because of those people. rest assured that ignite is trying its best to accommodate a significant number of keniacs for the premier. they are at this moment trying to explore all the possibilities and options. lets just try to understand them, as they are doing all this within the parameters/limitations of a premier night. it's actually not a joke to organize this kind of activity. there are so many people to please, so many considerations, and of course, all the activities involving ken will have to be approved by ken himself, di ba?

i was not an f4 fan before, but when the "batanes" production started, and when i saw the trailers and all, i also started liking ken, so i enjoy reading your posts here. more power and peace to all of you! take care everyone! :D

[aken03]

MEIJIA,

thank you for posting here in KEN's thread..you are very much welcome here ..

we are really proud to be a ken and f4 fan..we've been supporting them for a long time ..and for new fans like you, we are very happy that BATANES has opened doors for new fans to surface eventhough they say F4 fever has cooled down..

The past weeks have been really stressful for us, TITA VAYZ included....and the people behind KCIFC phils, and we ,the members appreciate the efforts exerted by these individuals...the anticipation is just killing all of us..because this movie is just too overwhelming ....We've never expected that KEN would do a filipino project...we thought that the last time he would step in our country was during their last F4 concert in Dec.2004......most of the fans go abroad just to see him. and we rely on overseas fans for updates thru the net...

and then the news about him doing an indie film a few months ago just shocked everyone of us..

I think this is not a question of whether its mainstream..or an indie film..we are just too happy that he was chosen and at the same time he accepted this project.

i'm thankful that KAOKEN, BATANES, and you are making tsinoy as a venue for your updates..I hope you understand that we are just frustrated with the fact that not all of us can be accommodated on that day ......but we guarantee the producers..that eventhough we may not be given tickets..we will be there and support KEN and behave as what ken would want us to..

We are not losing hope...and i hope that Ignite will still help us...

Thank you very much,,and i really appreciate your post.and and please post some updates here coz we really need it...:D

TV, film leading the way in tourism growth

Friday, November 23, 2007
The China Post news staff

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The charisma of super idols is overwhelming. Last year, the Tourism Bureau invited the renowned group F4 to be the spokespersons to promote tourism to Taiwan in Japan and Korea. From the period of March to August of this year alone, their efforts have already helped bring over 30,000 visitors to Taiwan, resulting in foreign exchange income valued at over NT$1 billion.

A specially designated "TV & Film Area," making its debut at the 2007 Taipei TV & Film Festival, has combined the resources of the TV and film industry in the hope of introducing renowned scenic spots portrayed in TV and films. It hopes to provide an upsurge to Taiwan's tourism industry.

Drama and soap opera series can effectively promote tourism. There have been precedents of this in some foreign countries. One of Korea's drama series, "Dae Jang Geum" ("Jewel in the Palace") is a remarkable example that has not only promoted Korean cuisine but also Korean fashion and culture throughout Southeast Asia.

It has also attracted a lot of Asian viewers to make a pilgrimage to visit Korea, don the outfits used in "Jewel in the Palace" and have a souvenir photo taken. Meanwhile, viewers who have seen the Japanese drama "Life is Beautiful" will always remember the Ferris wheel used as a backdrop for the series.

The U.S.'s "Sex and the City" series, in which the four female lead characters tackle socially relevant issues and the modern lifestyle of New York, also attracts people to the city. And the open countryside used in the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" has caused New Zealand tourism to soar.

Likewise, the successful airing in Japan of shows like "Meteor Garden" and "White Drama," featuring Taiwan's idols F4, has greatly boosted tourism in Taiwan, as hordes of Japanese fans arrive in waves.

A guidebook has been translated into Japanese to introduce the scenic spots used in the filming of these Taiwan dramas, such as Taipei 101, Love River in Kaohsiung, Ching Ching's Cherry Blossoms Avenue and Taoyuan's Shihmen Dam. All of these have now become popular scenic spots for tourists. Another popular drama series, "Prince Becomes Frog," has garnered favorable reviews in Hong Kong.

The show's leading female actress has opened a souvenir shop, and it has now become a famous scenic spot for Hong Kong fans visiting Taiwan. The soon-to-be-aired drama series by Taiwan's GTV entitled "Waiting For You Here" will also enable viewers to appreciate the scenic beauty of Taiwan through its story and plot.

[vayz]

mejia hello... me pahabol lang ako then end of the discussion on my part.
. i guess what i'm saying is its not an indie film that suddenly became a mainstream movie in the middle of production, or vise versa
Thanks for the info on the difference between an indie film and a mainstream movie. We are glad to know that Ken Chu starred in a movie that has "always been a "hybrid" or a cross between an independent and mainstream material with characteristics of both classifications."
rest assured that the producers don't think that you guys are "basta-basta lang," to quote the letter.
Thanks for the assurance from your side that you recognize us as hindi basta-basta fans lang. We’re really very grateful for that.
the fact is, they would like to accomodate all of you --the reality
is, aken03 (hi!) is right -- premier nights are normally limited to the vips, guests, sponsors, celebrities and their guests.
So… we could have been one of the sponsors if we were told or earlier informed (just wishful thinking on my part) Actually, our foreign counterparts are just waiting for the developments of this premier night because they, too, would like to come here and attend in support to Ken. But how can we tell them that we, Filipino fans, cannot even secure premier night tickets for ourselves? They are also clamoring for the release of Batanes in their respective countries and they will definitely support Ken’s movie.
also in a premier, the ones that worked hard on the film from pre to post production are given priority -- this is understandable considering that the film was completed because of those people.
Oh Yes.. so that’s a fact in addition to this: “premier nights are normally limited to the vips, guests, sponsors, celebrities and their guests.”
. rest assured that ignite is trying its best to accommodate a significant number of keniacs for the premier. they are at this moment trying to explore all the possibilities and options. lets just try to understand them, as they are doing all this within the parameters/limitations of a premier night. it's actually not a joke to organize this kind of activity
oh yes... we know that because on our part however different our situation from yours are, it's no joke to post news of F4, specially our translators who labour in gathering news in chinese and/or japanese from China or Japan and translate those in english for the rest of us to understand and react. We also promote this movie to our families, friends, colleague at work and businesses, classmates, mga kasama sa bahay and their families... also to our dear fellow F4 fans abroad...


And maraming salamat po sa pagconsider ninyo sa amin… Hindi kami nanghihingi, in fact from the beginning we always say, we are willing to pay whatever price due us, mga legitimate fans of Ken and F4… at isa pa, hindi naman po lahat ng pumunta sa mga concerts ng F4 sa Pilipinas nitong mga nagdaang taon ang pupunta sa premier night. Yun pong libo-libong nasaksihan ninyo na bumayad hanggang ilampung libong piso eh sa regular showing days naman po kikilos. Fraction lang po kami ng isangkaterbang fans dahil premier night nga lang ito so we truly understand the limitations...
and of course, all the activities involving ken will have to be approved by ken himself, di ba?
Yes tama po kayo jan… kaya mas malungkot kami kung etong fraction na ipinakiki-usap namin eh hindi mapagbigyan. Kung ikaw kaya si ken, gusto mo bang mas marami yung maiiwan sa labas kesa sa kasama mong manood sa loob sa gabi ng premier showing ng movie mo? Magtataka ka siguro kasi yung mga fans mong Pilipino eh nakakapunta sa ibang bansa para suportahan ka tapos pagdating sa Pilipinas ilan lang silang nasa loob:confused:

Lastly, pakisabi na lang sa mga taong concern:
mula sa kaibuturan ng aming mga puso.......
maraming maraming salamat sa pagdadala kay Ken dito sa Pilipinas...

to whatever outcome of your consideration to our
request for premier night tickets are... please rest assured that we will support Batanes movie all the way...


Peace po tayo... kasamang mejia… welcome po sa magulo, magastos pero masayang mundo ng F4...

Dalawa ang love scenes ni Iza Calzado sa pelikulang Batanes. Ang isa ay sa gumaganap na asawa niyang Ivatan na si Joem Bascon at ang isa ay sa mangingisdang Taiwanese na napadpad sa isla ng Batanes ni Ken Chu (ng F4).

"Parang ‘yung dalawang leading men ko sa movie, kabado pareho sa love scene namin. Actually, kay Joem, I felt na kailangang alalayan ko siya sa eksena.

"Kay Ken, ang kaba ko roon eh, ‘Shucks! Kailangang magkonek talaga kami!’ At kinakabahan din ako, kasi first love scene niya yata ‘yon. So, baka mamaya, habulin ako ng fans niya at awayin ako! Trabaho lang po! Ha! Ha! Ha!

"Okey naman ‘yung parehong love scene. ‘Yung kay Joem, mas gentle. Dapat kasi, very innocent dahil taga-Batanes siya. Si Ken, married na. Pareho na silang may karanasan nu’ng karakter kong si Pam, kaya iba rin ‘yung love scene namin.

"Ang hirap i-describe, eh! Mas maganda kung panoorin n’yo na lang," nakangiting bulalas ni Iza.

Hindi pa nakikipag-love scene si Ken sa TV at maging sa dalawang pelikulang nagawa niya (The Tokyo Trial, Sky of Love) kaya ang gusto raw ng manager nito ay mukha lang ni Ken ang iku-close-up ng kamera at walang katawan na ipakikita.

Nagpaliwanag si Direk Adolf Alix na walang love scene na puro mukha lang. Nadaan sa pakiusap ang manager kaya ang ending ay pumayag si Ken na magpakita ng hubad niyang likuran sa pelikula.

Nasarapan daw si Ken… hindi sa love scene nila ni Iza kundi sa Chocnut na paboritong ipamigay ni Iza sa set nila. Madali raw kasing magpabili roon ng nasabing tsokolate kaya madalas magpabili si Iza para ipamigay sa lahat.

Nu’ng bumalik ng Taiwan si Ken ay pinabaunan ni Iza ang buong entourage nito ng Chocnut. At pagbalik dito ni Ken para sa additional shooting days nila sa Batangas ay ang dami nitong pasalubong na mga Taiwanese goodies para sa cast and crew.

"Sa akin, puro pagkain ang binigay niya. Like what Ken said, we both love to eat. Sabi niya sa akin, I make him look good daw, kasi ang takaw ko.

"Kung anu-ano ang pinagkakakain ko. Buti na lang, mas malakas pa rin siyang kumain kesa sa akin!" natatawang sey ni Iza.

KEN WINS GOLD IN TAIJI CHAMPIONSHIP
HE MIGHT RETIRE FROM THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY GRADUALLY

aside from being a shining star with extraordinary stellar career as taiwan’s tourism ambassador, KEN CHU now has another identity: a taiji-fist gold medalist.With his passion for martial arts, he again becomes another glory of taiwan.

Its been a while since we heard about f4 member KEN CHU, the reason he cant be found was that he has been learning taiji for the past 2 years. He excelled in taiji and won the gold medal in a recent taiji-championship cup in spain, showing his extreme prowess.

As reported, KEN CHU has been under the training of renown taiji master linwenxiong. KEN practiced everyday from 7-10am very consistently. It was very hard for him at the start but he became more and more interested as the days passed, until now he is improving and quite obsessed with the art and taiji fist.

Later on, with the masters recommendation, KEN CHU joined the championship game in spain. The tournament was held for 3 days, aside from KEN CHU, other participants came from china, england, france, italy and 20 more countries. The master’s training of KEN wasn’t in vain. With 2 years of hard work and perseverance, KEN CHU seized the gold medal. This made KEN very happy, he is now preparing to open taiji classes next year as promotion of the taiji fist; he might retire gradually from the entertainment industry.

Picture Caption: "Right now, I'm on a semi-break. I'm busy promoting them. We're also heavily promoting Batanes right now. I was on Showbiz Central yesterday. Kanina I did Sweet Life [on QTV-11]. So, alam mo 'yon. Heto na naman, back to reality," Iza shared to PEP about the showing of three films successively—Mona, Batanes, and Desperadas.

Iza Calzado has her own "film festival" as year 2007 ends

Paul Mata
Tuesday, 2007 November 27
03:33 p.m.

Hindi makapaniwala si Iza Calzado na may tatlong pelikula siyang ipalalabas nang sunud-sunod ngayong magtatapos na ang 2007.

...Next week naman ay ipalalabas ang Batanes kung saan katambal niya ang Taiwanese superstar na si Ken Zhu ng F4....

BUSY IZA. Ano ang pakiramdam niya na tatlong pelikula niya ang sunud-sunod na ipalalabas?

Ayon kay Iza, "Nagkataon nga na tuluy-tuloy. Kasi, initially sabay na ipapalabas. Buti na lang, hindi. Hello?... One after the other. And then sa December 5 is Batanes. December 25 is Desperadas. Sabi ko nga, ‘Hello? Kamusta naman.'"

Dagdag pa niya, "Hindi kaya magsawa yung mga tao? Hindi naman, sana. Iba-iba naman yung gagawin ko. Sobrang different. Pagdating sa Batanes, iba na naman din. Iba yung hitsura ko, yung role ko. Pagdating sa Desperadas, iba na naman."

Iza looks forward to doing more movies in 2008, especially now that she has just signed an execlusive three-year contract with GMA Films.

"I'm supposed to do a couple of films for GMA [Films] next year ‘cause I just signed with them. Some love story, one for sure. And then there's this parang semi-art film, not too commercial. More independent in nature, but then it's still with GMA Films.

"I'm always looking forward to those things kasi parang with those roles I can experiment. Like in Batanes and in this one [Mona], parang wala lang. Ang feeling ko, e, naglalaro lang ako," Iza said happily.
