JJ Lin's first performance after airport incident; announces upcoming concert

As previously reported, JJ Lin was stuck at the New York airport for 80 hours and couldn’t go back to Taiwan until the day before New Year’s Eve. He celebrated the New Year with fans at Kaohsiung and Taichung, performing a series of new and old songs at the countdown concerts. It was his first activity since the airport incident; JJ shouted, "I finally made it back!" and then assured everyone that he had gone home to take a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes before going to the countdown concerts.

JJ also took the opportunity to announce his upcoming concert on April 2nd at the Taipei Arena. He held a press conference on the very next day (1st) to celebrate his album sales as well as making the official announcement for the concert (tickets on sale now). He revealed that he will be collaborating with a team of Korean dancers to showcase a special dance number. When asked if there will be other gimmicks, he laughed, “There will be no ‘Double J’ (stunt)…I am ‘double J’” – referring to the fact that he’s…. ‘JJ’. The media asked if his rumored girlfriend would be attending; JJ responded, “All of my friends will go.”

JJ expressed that he has been rather unhappy about the media referring to his rumored girlfriend as the ‘E-cup girl’, “Please don’t call her that, it sounds awful. She doesn’t like it either.” When the media pressed further to ask if she is his girlfriend or if there’s someone else, he answered, “We are still in the stage of discussion. It’s not a suitable time right now, but if there is, it’ll be her.” He then added, “I cherish her more than any of my other friends.”

At the 17th Anniversary of the Hong Kong Performing Artistes Guild Annual Dinner last night, the 'Outstanding Performance Awards 2010' were presented.

The awards were divided into 'TV Scene', Radio Scene' and 'Music Scene'. Last year TV King and Queen Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang received no recognition, but instead Charmaine Sheh and Moses Chan took the awards. However, both were absent from the event, otherwise it would be a perfect event.

Fiona Sit unexpectedly defeated Kara Hui and Sandra Ng, she was honoured with the "Outstanding Actress Award". When she accepted an interview, she frankly said that whether if it's experience or acting, she can't be compared with her two seniors: "This time the award has taught me that I cannot be arrogant. If there is arrogance, then I can't be good at acting."

Losing out on the Golden Horse earlier, Nicholas Tse was presented with the "Outstanding Actor Award" in the Film Scene. He does not feel that 2010 was a prosperous year for him: "Awards are source of encouragement, not reward. It is receiving approval from audience, see if I took a step forward."

As for Kate, she frankly said she always has rumors with her male co-stars. Asked if she's afraid of rumors getting on bad terms with Charmaine? Kate said: "Already prepared.

Charmaine Sheh who has just received the award of the Most Outstanding Performance Actress denied the rumours that she was not dissatisfied with Sheren Tang being crowned the TV Queen hence not renewing her contract with TVB. She also revealed that regarding the renewal of her contract, it is still in the progress of discussion. She also said that she has requested for a pay rise, but she also frankly said that she has thought of leaving her "home country" and develop her career elsewhere.

While attending an event yesterday, Charmaine expressed that she really wanted to personally go and receive the award, she said: "It's a pity that I couldn't go, I feel this award is a very big encouragement." (Consolation award?) "No, my award was outstanding performance actress." (Do you want to receive the award together with Most Outstanding Performance Actor, Moses Chan?) "I don't know who received that award." (Have a private celebration with him?) "I wouldn't have a chance to celebrate for a long time, I have to return to film series until the end of the month, and then I have to film Forensic Heroes 3." (There are rumours saying that Kevin Cheng and Frankie Lam aren't qualified enough hence being kicked out?) "How can it be? Everyone is TVB is a star, saying this way isn't fair to the artistes." (Are you pressured?) "Everytime I accept a series I will have pressure, I have to communicate with the producer, afraid that people would get bored of watching it."

Charmaine denied that she wasn't continuing her contract her TVB because of Sheren Tang being crowned as TV Queen, "Why would I be dissatisfied? There is definitely someone who gets an award and another who doesn't in an awards presentation, it's not that I didn't get an award." (A consolation award?) "How do you consider it a consolation award? Don't tell me there should only be one award, I don't know where did the rumours come from, I'm still TVB's artist, I still have one to two years contract, the next contract is in discussion." (What requirements do you have?) "Increase in pay." (What about the award?) "I didn't know that this could be done, I feel the production quality is needed." (What about your own benefit?) "When the series have good ratings then I will be benefited." (Develop career elsewhere?) "I did think of this, the Mainland's market is very wide, they need Hong Kong artists, income is about the same, there are more series in Mainland, but after including cutting ribbons and advertisements then they're almost about the same, so it's still based on production quality.
