Actress Gong Li got won advertising contract from China's second-largest home appliance maker Midea Group, it was announced at a press conference in Beijing on Tuesday.

A series of commercials were screened at the conference featuring Gong Li as a sexy housewife using Midea's small electric appliances such as water machines, bean milk makers and humidifiers.

"I spent four days shooting the advertisements. It was a new acting experience as most of the time, I had to perform with something that didn't really exist," said Gong Li, "It's the first time I'm seeing the advertisements, and I think they are beautiful."

"In fact, I make bean milk every morning when I'm at home," she said.

This is the fourth time the 43-year-old star has worked with the Chinese white goods giant. She first appeared as the face of Midea in 1992 in a commercial for its air-conditioner.

The star also talked about the upcoming Hollywood movie "Shanghai", which she said will premiere next February. In the movie, she plays an upper-class Shanghai woman in the 1940s.

Roger Kwok, Sonjia Kwok, Nancy Wu, Derek Kwok, etc. attended the "D.I.E II" blessing ceremony yesterday. As TVB recently laid off a large group of employees, so yesterday the atmosphere at the studio was still uneasy.

Roger expressed that theres a hair stylist that has been working with TVB for 30 years, since Roger entered the industry up until now, all his ancient hairstyles are styled by him, but now the stylist suddenly disappeared, he feels very unfortunate. Roger said: "We were able to get through the SARS, hope this time we will be able to do so again!" TVB General Manager Stephen Chan often makes the front appearance, does Roger feel that he robbed artistes jobs too? Roger cleverly said: "Mr. Chan is familiar with the functioning of the TV programmes, don't use him then who could do it?

Bosco had his first record's cover "In Love With Bosco" out the other day. It showed his face was nearly touching the model as though he was going to kiss her. Some people made a remark of how lucky he was, but he said it was hard work. He revealed the day when he had to film the record cover, he had just returned from the mainland. He only had 2 hours sleep and the photo session took 6 hours to complete. He went home to rest at midnight. The pictures showed a very intimate scene, but it was all fake. It looked as he was kissing the girl, but in fact he was bending down half of his body to have the picture taken in an angle. Due to the funny angle of the pose, he had lost his balance a few times and needing constant rest.

Taiwanese "Heavenly Queen" Jolin Tsai YiLin has decided to move to Warner for $120 million NTD; at 9:10 PM on the 16th, she will hold a spectacular "contract signing" press conference at Taipei's Water Cube. One of those she will be "muscling" away is another "J Girl" (Jay Chou Girl), Vivian Hsu RuoXuan; Jolin will take her place as a Warner "big sister." She plans to release another new album after the lunar new year!

Jolin's contract with EMI expired this year; many large record companies fought and strove to sign her. There were rumors that she would follow in the footsteps of Jay Chou JieLun and create her own record company; however, realizing that, unlike Jay, she lacked strong business sense, she decided that joining the management of an existing company was more suitable for her. In the end, it was Warner which managed to snatch her up. In the ten years since her debut, she has gone from Universal to Sony, from EMI to new home Warner-- she has been to all four of the largest international record companies.

Follows Chen ZeShan To Warner

It has been reported that the main reason Jolin has made the decision to sign with Warner is 陳澤杉 Chen ZeShan, who is currently serving as the president of Warner's Chinese District. Jolin has been working with 陳澤杉 Chen ZeShan since her debut; she quickly shot to fame. At EMI Capitol, she worked with 陳澤杉 Chen ZeShan yet again, making and becoming the "舞孃/Dancing Diva." This made her into a Golden Melody Award winner and a bona fide "heavenly queen." Then, conflict made the sentiment and relationship between them even deeper: last year, Jay Chou criticized Chen, saying that he "controlled" the music charts. Jolin immediately defended Chen. That, after Chen transferred to Warner and Jolin's contract expired, she would choose to follow him to Warner is not unexpected.

Two years ago, Jolin signed a $100 million NTD contract with EMI. According to our sources, although the economy is currently in a slump, Jolin has the ability to draw in $350 million. She is, beyond a doubt, the most profitable "heavenly queen;" thus, her value and price continue to rise, and she will sign with Warner for $120 million NTD.

Fortune Tellers Say, Sign At Night

Following the advice of a group of fortune tellers, Warner has decided to "welcome" Jolin on the night of the 16th. The fortune tellers said that, if Jolin signs after dusk on that night, her career will be marvelous.

Warner specially used "9" (jiu), which sounds similar to her English name, Jolin, and "10" (yi ling), which sounds similar to her Chinese name 依林 YiLin, for the time of the press conference, which will take place at 9:10 PM. They hope that Jolin will soar to new heights.
