The Founding of A Republic (2009) movie trailer

Yein Jee — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:15:10 +0000

Trailer for Chinese movie The Founding of A Republic (建国大业), the biggest Chinese film ever produced in terms of star appearances, made in celebration for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

The video is a combo of various trailers, it gets repetitive after the 4th minute…

The story revolves around the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communists, which ended in 1949 when the People’s Republic of China was established by the victorious Communists.

Almost all notable A-list mainland Chinese stars are taking (at least a cameo) part in the movie; many without paid just to have their face in the symbolic film.

Lee Hyori mobbed at Shanghai airport

Yein Jee — Sun, 03 May 2009 05:24:48 +0000

Korean pop star Lee Hyori was mobbed by Chinese fans and press at Shanghai Pudong International Airport when she arrived on April 22nd for a short visit. From the fancam seems like she was pretty petrified with the mess… [via K-popped]

Hmmm, where’s the bodyguards? It’s poor management from both her Korean agency and the Chinese organiser. It’s common sense that they need to beef up the security for a star of Hyori’s calibre; and I guess they probably didn’t bother to notify the airport management for special arrangement.

Credits to a few of the fans; they did try to persuade the rest to clear some space, but most were not listening obviously.

Joanna Wang – I Love You music video

Yein Jee — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 13:21:13 +0000

Music video of “I Love You”, an English song by Taiwanese singer Joanna Wang from her debut album “Start From Here”, released in early 2008. It’s a cover of David Tao’s mandarin song, “Love is Simple”…

Joanna’s unique voice has been a revolution to Chinese music market; the album was quite a hit and if not mistaken, among the top five best selling albums of the year in both Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Despite the success, the singer has in a few occasions mentioned that she’s not a fan of the album, because it was not showing her true self.

Her subsequent album, “Joanna & Wang Ruo Lin”, which was released in January 2009 is supposedly showing more of her capability not just as a singer, but also a songwriter with her own ideas; will share something about in future.

Cold Stone Creamery, East Asian style

Yein Jee — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 13:20:34 +0000

Cold Stone Creamery, an ice-cream parlor franchise from Arizona, USA, is known for its mix-ins and lively service culture where the workers would sing a tune or two when tipped by the customers.

Tipping is not common in Asia though; so I guess the staff would probably sing along whenever they feel like it. Sharing some videos of the staff in action from Cold Stone Creamery outlets in Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan…

Beijing’s CCTV Headquarters on fire

Yein Jee — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:47:43 +0000

Beijing police have detained twelve people over Monday night’s (Feb 11) massive fire at the unfinished headquarters of China Central Television (CCTV) which resulted in the death of a firefighter and seven other injuries.

The building is part of the iconic CCTV tower complex and is to house CCTV’s cultural centre and the then nearly completed Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Initial investigations suggested that the fire was caused by illegal fireworks by CCTV. Fireworks are generally allowed at the traditional Lantern Festival, the last day of Chinese New Year; but the fireworks that caught the fire was dangerous and needed approval (which CCTV didn’t get) before being allowed in downtown Beijing.
