SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Qiong Yau commenting on the actors she made famous 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I saw this interesting news here and I thought I must share it with you. I am not sure when this was posted or the date of interview but it must be some time ago..

From movies to tv series, Qiong Yao have created many new shining stars. When we asked Qiong Yao "Of all the movie stars and idols that you have made famous, what exactly is it that you like about each one of them?" Qiong Yao just smiled and said:

Brigitte Lin Ching-Hsia, she has this special aura about her which I'm not sure how to describe. However, Brigitte's figure, face, are all very beautiful, but they're a different type of beauty as Vicky Zhao Wei. As for Chen Zhen, she's very sweet, and people like her for it.


Charlie Chin Siang Lin, in my opinion, is a very beautiful man. His face and eyes are very beautiful. All these years, I've always considered Chin Siang Lin as the most handsome actor there ever was. He's so beautiful that he doesn't really have to act too much as long as he just stands there and looks at his leading lady. This is enough to make his leading actress weak and vulnerable (Qiong Yao broke out into a laughter - looking like a teenage girl having a crush all over again).


Chin Han has this gentle, calm soothing quality...very gentleman-like. He collaborated with me in my first tv-series "Ji Du Xi Yang Hong". He played a forty-something year old man, and his performance was very good.


Liu Xue Hua, her acting is very good. She acted in my first tv-series "Ji Du Xi Yang Hong" when nobody really knew who she was. She was only 25 y/o then, playing the role of a 20 year old to a 40 y/o woman. When she acted as the 20 y/o Li Meng Zhu, she looked like the 20 y/o Li Meng Zhu. When she acted as the 40 y/o Li Meng Zhu, she looked like the part of the 40 y/o Li Meng Zhu as well. Her acting skill is excellent, especially worth praising is her ability to shed tears. The truth is my movies don't require too much crying. Taiwan's film tend to have the habit of portraying too much crying. When I went to China to film my "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", I told the actors/actress "Please pay attention to the details in the script. Only cry and shed tears when the script asks for it". Liu Xue Hua has the habit of shedding too much tears. If she could correct this, that would be good.


Steve Ma Jing Tao was actually made famous by playing Yang Pei Pei's films. "Little Ma"'s (Xiao Ma) performance is marked by too much aggressiveness and overacting . If he could change this, that should be great. Once Ma Jing Tao starts acting out a scene, he really gets into his role.


Yue Ling is a very fine actress. She really knows how to act. Whatever role she plays, she really makes it come alive. She's also quite pretty. I truly liked her performance in "Mei Hua San Nong - Gwei Jiang Fu" (The Plum Flower Trilogy - The Ghost Husband). These few years I haven't been able to collaborate with her due to my projects being filmed in mainland China and her unfitting schedules. On top of that, I was concerned for her health and so there hadn't been any collaboration with her for the time being. I truly admire her performance,and if opportunity arises in the future, I would really like to work with her again.


Vivian Chen De Rong is a very pretty "Bao Bei". Because of her excellent performance in "The Plum Flower Trilogy", she has had many excellent film, music, and commercial offers. Because I didn't want to impede her on her path of success, I had to let go of our collaboration. Afterward, she eventually "flew away".


Kevin Lin Ruo Yang - his first tv series collaboration with me was "Hai Ou Fei Chu". Here's another fine actor who could get a little "overacting" (Qiong Yao broke into another big laughter) One time there was this scene where he was supposed to place a cup on the table while acting, but because he used a little too much force, all everyone could see when he placed the cup on the table were shards of broken glasses on the floor. He ended up with a bleeding hand...


Vicky Zhao Wei - she is really cute. Actually too cute for words to describe. Every movement of her's is a performance, whether she raises her hand, makes a sound or laughs...When onstage, Zhao Wei frequently asks the director "Can you tell me if my acting this way is good...if not, I have a second way, and if that also isn't good enough, I also have a third way too..." Now everyone is starting to copy her. I don't know if anyone has been noticing, but Zhao Wei is becoming more and more pretty. When I first saw her, I thought that this young actress was fine but she was a little too chubby. Then when we found her, she did lose some weight by then... and I decided to go ahead and use her. In "Huan Zhu Ge Ge part II", whenever she's in a scene, she always steals the spotlight. Even Zhang Tie Lin's (the actor who played Emperor Qian Long) onscreen presence can't outwin her presence. As for what will become of Zhao Wei's future, although I have high hopes for her, but the truth is I really don't know.

Ruby Lin Xin Ru is very different from Vicky Zhao Wei. She seems more well-behaving, honest, and innocent. And if people were to ask me, if Ruby and Vicki's roles were reversed, what would I think might happen? The truth is, I don't know.

Zhou Jie - His eyes can really act. His performance is also very good. Today he's a hearthrob for many girls. Girls like him because of his ability to touch a girl's heart with his speechless gaze.


I agree with what she said about Yue Ling and especially Vicki Zhao. However her criticisms on Liu Xuehua, Lin Ruiyang and Ma Jingtao was a bit too much because only in her series they overacted. As for her comments on Vivien Chen, sorry to say I totally disagreed with what she said.

I wonder where is Yue Ling now? What health problems? She is still my fave Taiwanese actress, I wonder how is she doing now? Ever since her fan sites closed, I can't seem to get her latest news in English.

Funny how Qiong Yau complain about her actors crying too much in her series. All along, I thought it was her idea to have her characters cry at the drop of a hat, since that's what the characters in most of her serious drama did. But it seems I'm wrong.
Guess it's Yang Pei Pei's idea then.

Oh great... just when I've gotten my own blog, Blogger comes out with this feature of leaving ur name without a Blogger account...

Anyway, one of the reasons why I can't stand Qiong Yao's shows is the very lengthy, 'cheung hey' and unneccessary dialouge. In fact, this seems characteristic of Taiwanese TV even till today. Influence of Qiong Yao?

But yah, I agree with Kidd. Interesting that Qiong Yao think her actors cry too much... Are most Qiong Yao adaptations by Yang Pei Pei?

Btw, I can't agree more about her comments on Steve Ma Jing Tao!
