HIM Record issued a statement today indicating that they, Selina ((Jen Chia-Hsüan)), her family and the production of “I Have A Date With Spring” have reached a settlement regarding her compensation. An explosion accident took place on the set of the New Culture Group/HunanTV drama in Shanghai last October, leaving its stars seriously injured with second and third degree burns.
After months of negotiations, HIM Records announced that the parties have agreed upon a one-time comprehensive solution. The production will be paying all costs related to medical care, necessary plastic surgery, rehabilitation, loss of working time, emotional distress, psychological consultation and purchase of equipment. No dollar amount was disclosed as those involved have signed a confidentiality agreement.
Will Pan held an autographing and mini concert event at Ximending to celebrate his new album, “808”. He revealed that he had only slept for 3 hours the night before because he was busy secretly filming a new MV with Korean boy group 2PM member Nichkhun. However, he refused to tell the fans any further details in regards to the content of the MV.
Will’s new album also debuted at number one on eight different pop charts across Asia. Will helped the gold dragon draw its eyes as good luck for the New Year. He expressed, “The gold dragon comes alive after adding its eyes. I hope that I can be number one again on eight different pop charts on the second week as well.”
Originally, Peter Ho had planned to visit a nursing home to bring them some warmth in their lives. But due to an unforeseen sprained right ankle from playing basketball with fans yesterday, he could only send his juniors, AK, to complete the mission. As soon has the two arrived, they got to work installing a electric heater and brought in Chinese New Year supplies. They spent a long time chatting lively with the elderly, creating smiles on the grandfathers and grandmothers' faces. The two expressed their wish to come to the nursing home again along with Peter.
As for Peter, he shared pictures of his ankle, jokingly asking whether the "pig foot" should be "stewed or fried and simmered." We hope he will be up and walking soon.
“Love Buffet” easily won its timeslot with an average of 1.82% last Sunday. Second place went to “Channel-X” which has slowly improved to 1.31%. But with production underway for “Drunken to Love You”, it remains to be seen if SETTV will stick with the under-performing drama much longer. There is some good news for "Love Buffet" and "Channel-X": CTV has pushed back “Sunny Happiness” starring Mike He and Janine Chang until Feb. 13th. A Chinese New Year edition of “Million Star” is scheduled for this Sunday, followed by a preview of the new drama at 11 pm.
Although it's a little early to look ahead, "Material Queen” now appears to be getting its first run on CTV after all. To get an early start on the promotions, Van Ness Wu and Lynn Xiong will be greeting CTV viewers via satellite on the network's New Year’s Eve special. Interestingly, it was only a month ago when CTS revealed that they had planned to air the drama in March. Now that their "Queen" is gone, could they be going back to "Gossip Girl" for a second season? Or would this free up a slot for the GTV-produced "Sunshine Girl"? -- There's only one slight problem; it might be on a collision course with "Drunken to Love You" (Rainie vs Rainie) if they both debut in spring.
And for those in a festive mood, there are a slew of CNY specials coming our way: TTV’s “Red & White Entertainment Awards” (featuring Show Luo, ELVA Hsiao, SHINee) and CTV’s “Million Star Battle” (featuring former Million Star contestants, Lu Chen The Magician, FT Island) will hit the airwaves on Feb. 2nd. In observance of the holiday season, no blood will be shed on prime-time dramas “Night Market Life” and “Jia He Wan Shi Xing (Peaceful Family)”. FTV, which airs “Night”, even promises that there will be no funeral or hospital scenes...at least not for now.
