Jerry Yan and Vanness Wu, members of the now-defunct F4, went head-to-head earlier this year in their own respective idol dramas.

Now, the two are headed for another faceoff; this time, for the coveted Best Actor Award.

Having received positive reviews for both dramas, GTV have submitted both actors' names to the organizing committee for the Best Actor Award in the upcoming Golden Bell Awards, which is the Taiwanese equivalent of the Emmy Awards.

Due to their pretty-boy looks, members of F4 have been terribly limited in the roles they could take on. It was only recently that the boys started showing promise, with Vic Zhou receiving a Best Actor Award nomination for Black & White last year while Jerry and Vanness proved their acting chops in Down With Love and Autumn's Concerto.

Jerry's turn in Down With Love received positive reviews, with critics saying that that was his best performance in recent years.

Vanness' Autumn's Concerto garnered record-breaking viewership as the second-most viewed idol drama in the history of idol dramas, making him a hot favourite for the award.

With other veteran actors like Wu Nian Zhen and James Wen also vying for the award, Jerry and Vanness's run for the award will not be an easy one.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTOS FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE DRAMAS

VAN NESS WU IN AUTUMN'S CONCERTO



JERRY YAN IN DOWN WITH LOVE



----------------my comment------------------

though, i didn't get to watch down with love yet i still believe in jerry's acting ability. and i promise to buy a dvd of it as soon as i find one. and as for VanNess, he was really great in Autumn's Concerto! omg! he took my breath away with his intense performance as Ren Guang Xi. I hope both will win as best actor.... if not, then any of the two is fine. after all, f4 sila pareho. love it!
i'm rooting for both of them. and i hope that this time around, an F4 member will finally bag Best actor trophy on GBA!

Autumn's Concerto (下一站,幸福), also known as Next Stop, Happiness, is a currently airing Taiwanese Drama starring Ady An and Vanness Wu which first premiered on October 4, 2009 on TTV and SETTV





Liang Mu Cheng (Ady An), a poor girl working at a school canteen to earn enough money for her college application fee, finds herself in a forced date with Ren Guang Xi (Vanness Wu) within days of starting her new job at the school. Guang Xi, the son of the school president, is a brash law student who has broken many girls' hearts and originally only agreed to date Mu Cheng out of a bet.

When Guang Xi realizes that Mu Cheng is the first girl he has met to ever have a warm and kind personality instead of just outward appearances, Guang Xi falls in love with Mu Cheng, who in turn teaches Guang Xi how to love. Guang Xi and Mu Cheng share a similar past, both losing their fathers at a young age and connected by a love of piano and Bach's Air on the G String. However, without understanding what true love is, Guang Xi's mom wanted Guang Xi to stop dating with Mu Cheng. Instead, she wanted Guang Xi to date with He Yi Qian (Tiffany Xu) so Yi Qian's dad would save her business.

After bravely defending Mu Cheng in a court case involving sexual harassment from Mu Cheng's stepfather, Guang Xi is diagnosed with brain cancer. Even though Yi Qian's dad could offer the newest kind of surgery that would give Guang Xi more chances to be alive, Guang Xi still refused to rely on him and Yi Qian since Guang Xi would have to thank them by dating Yi Qian. He believes he cannot give happiness to someone he doesn't love just by dating.

However, Guang Xi's mom forces Mu Cheng to leave Guang Xi. Feeling desperate, Guang Xi ran out of the hospital and was stabbed by Mu Cheng's stepfather, who came to seek revenge. Guang Xi was then sent back, and Mu Cheng later realizes that she is pregnant with his child. He lost his past memory in the process of surgery. As a result, he does not recognize Mu Cheng and goes on to live with Yi Qian, who became the doctor taking care of Guang Xi after his surgery.

Six years later, Guang Xi was mostly recovered, but his personallity was changed. Since Guang Xi's mom only cares about success and money, Guang Xi was supported even when he defended a sexual harasser as a lawyer. Later, he met Mu Cheng again due to a lawsuit, he was influenced by her kind nature and helped defending a group of innocent villagers against the dirty business of Yi Qian's dad. This also brings him back some memories. Finally, Guang Xi starts recovering his memory after hearing Bach's Air on the G String and he soon struggles to remember his love for Mu Cheng.

kilig diba?


2nd picks.... dahil malapit na ipalabas ang hotshot sa abs-cbn...starring my love...Jerry Yan and Show Lou.... here are some picks para ma-excite naman tayo!!!!!






yan na muna pics na pwede ko mapost dito... kasi naman yung ibang pics kasama si chunggoy...ngeeek!

and lastbut not the least...ang kinalolokhan ko ngayon na si Dev Patel... a.k.a Jamal Malik from the movie SLUMDOG MILLIONARE! i bet...wagi na namn toh sa upcoming OSCAR's AWARD!!!! hope you guys like it!!!!as in maganda toh..promise!



In Slumdog Millionaire, directed by the whiz-bang fabulist Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Sunshine), Jamal (Dev Patel), an 18-year-old Indian orphan who has spent his life scavenging on the streets, lands as a contestant on the Hindi version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and he wins — big. Don't worry, I'm not giving anything away: An opening title informs us that he wins 20 million rupees (in U.S. currency, that translates roughly as...an awesome amount of cash). The host (Anil Kapoor), who looks like Omar Sharif if he'd been a high-end vacuum-cleaner salesman, models his act on the British version of the show, which may be why he's a lot more condescending than the courtly Regis Philbin. Mercilessly, he mocks Jamal for being a ''chaiwalla'' (a boy who serves tea — extremely low on the class totem pole). Yet the kid is immune to insults — or, it seems, nerves — and he becomes a folk hero as he keeps knocking out those impeccable final answers.

The prospect of an uneducated orphan from the slums of Mumbai winning a pot of gold on a game show that hinges on worldly knowledge is, of course, the stuff of purest fairy tales. Based on Vikas Swarup's novel Q & A, with a script by Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty), Slumdog Millionaire is nothing if not an enjoyably far-fetched piece of rags-to-riches wish fulfillment. It's like the Bollywood version of a Capra fable sprayed with colorful drops of dark-side-of-the-Third-World squalor. A framing device has Jamal being interrogated by Mumbai cops who want him to confess how he won the show (they believe, wrongly, that he cheated). To let us know how he won, the film keeps flashing back from Jamal's stint on Millionaire to scenes of his life as an innocently scheming Dickensian ragamuffin.

Orphaned during a riot, the young Jamal (Ayush Mahesh Khedekar) skips around India with his older brother, Salim (Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail), the two boys scrambling to survive in a bustling, hothouse landscape of exploitative treachery. They're detained, along with a bunch of other orphans, by a vile crook who doesn't just use them as beggars; in a touch to give Fagin the willies, he likes to blind his orphans by pouring boiling liquid into their eyes, because then they'll earn more sympathy from passersby. The two escape, along with a girl, Latika (Rubina Ali), whom Jamal falls for and keeps trying to rescue. But just as we're reeling from this close encounter with evil, the movie reveals its true, happy design: This episode, and others like it, provides Jamal with the precise piece of information — in this case, a song title — he'll draw on, years later, to answer the questions on Millionaire. The inventor of the revolver, the figure on a $100 bill (he learns that one while scamming U.S. tourists at the Taj Mahal)— all the knowledge he'll need is offered by his life of hardship.

As Slumdog Millionaire jumps from the fear and degradation of Jamal's childhood to the snippet of game-show victory each episode provides, the audience relaxes, secure in the knowledge that the hardship and cruelty on display are, in their way, as much of a fairy tale as the mad-money TV triumph they presage. Slumdog Millionaire is brash and lively and compulsively watchable, but with Boyle working at full boil, it is also an unabashed concoction — a movie that turns the horror of broken Indian childhoods into a whooshingly blithe, in-your-face picaresque. Not since Les Miz have you felt this gooey-good about kids whose lives were this bad.

We follow Jamal and Salim at three different ages (with two sets of nicely matched tyke actors), but it's when Jamal is 18, and played by Dev Patel, that the movie takes on a touch of gravitas. Patel is tall, with a serious thin mouth, sloping eyebrows, and a wiry boyish toughness rather like that of Shia LaBeouf; he holds the camera while appearing to do nothing — the mark of a star. Madhur Mittal, as the older Salim, is a study in contrast — a permed weakling who goes to work for a gangster — but I wish the grown-up Latika (Freida Pinto), whom Jamal finds enslaved to that same thug, looked less like a supermodel. It's all part of the movie's fanciful sentimental tidiness. Slumdog Millionaire rousingly celebrates the escape from the slums, but since it’s Jamal’s childhood that allows him to win big on TV (and to win that girl), you could also say that the movie ennobles poverty.

Dev Patel became a household name as Jamal Malik in the award winning Slumdog Millionaire.

Basics on Dev Patel
Dev Patel was born on 23rd April 1990 in Harrow, London to a Gujarati family. His parents are Anita Patel and Raj Patel who is an IT Consultant.

His career as an actor took off in E4 channel’s Skins on British teens. He played a British Pakistani teen Anwar Kharral.

Dev Patel’s Movies
Dev Patel’s debut in Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire was a big break as it skyrocketed to international fame, winning several awards on the way. It was Boyle’s daughter Caitlin who felt he’d be a good fit for the role of Jamal after seeing him in Skins. As part of his preparation he visited slums, worked in a call center and even washed dishes in a hotel in Mumbai.

All the work paid off as he won the British Independent Film Award for Most promising New Comer, National Board of Review of Motions Picture Award for Best Breakthrough Performance, Chicago Film Critics Association Awards for Most Promising Performer, Black Reel Awards for Best Actor, Critics Choice Award for Best Young Performer.

CHERRIE ANN PANUNCIO (R.I.P)


DEAR 3FC-F4EC MEMBERS.... it was feb. 6 1990 when a young lovely girl named cherrie anne was born... and now GOD took her away from us... (i still don't know the exact date of her death..still waiting for the text from her mom) she suffered from cancer and now GOD don't want her to suffer more, because he loved chean so much that why he saved her from too much pain and chose to take her with him....



Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.
