Popularity of Joey’s Weibo Page Explodes


Source: Sina

Artistes have started to join the Weibo fad, which has allowed them to make regular postings on their site, no matter what time of day it is. This has allowed the artistes to share many things with their close friends and fans, such their current whereabouts, anything that happens in their daily lives and any new photographs. In fact, anything that can be looked at or thought of have been posted and written about on the Weibo pages. These pages have allowed the artistes to form a closer relationship with their friends, and it has allowed fans to closely follow the personal life of their idol. The number of Hong Kong artistes who have a Weibo page is becoming ever larger, and some have been seen using their iPhones to continuously type messages to post on their pages. Yesterday, Eason’s wife, Hilary Tsui, started her Weibo page, which she found to be very fun, and she had uploaded photographs of her family. Also, Sammi Cheng, who is currently holding a concert in Singapore, posted pictures on her page that showed the tattoos on her arm. Regarding the Weibo page that has the largest number of followers, this belongs to Gigi Leung (480,000 followers) and Joey Yung (370,000 followers).


Within a period of a month, the number of followers on Joey’s Weibo page has exploded to nearly 370,000. Recently, she has regularly been working in other countries, such as Australia, Guangzhou and Maldives, but she still works hard to keep her Weibo page updated. When Joey was in the Maldives, she had network communication problems, but after some hard work, she managed to post an update which showed her in a place that had a blue sky and sea, and she also mentioned that she wasn’t feeling well. Occasionally, Joey will post photographs of herself and some friends, and her good friend Charlene Choi appears the most often. Charlene, who is currently being troubled by the news about her divorce and the hiding of her marriage, was recently seen on Joey’s weibo page having lunch with Joey in the Stanley area of Hong Kong, after they had been filming together in ‘Emerald Pearl’.

Ivy: I should write for Sina~ LOL....I started this topic earlier...haha..although this article was published on April 4th, but I think I still was ahead of them...wasn't I?? LOLS! And Joey's Weibo count is currently not 370,000 followers. It went up to 469,427 between 2 weeks as shown in the picture.

Well, that is why fans hopes for Joey to actually reply/read your message/comments are very slim. she posts one thing and 1 second later there's a hundred comments....nobody will expect her to read them all~ LOL.

On a sidenote, CONGRATULATIONS to Kara Hui for winning best actress at HK Film Awards last night!!!! Happy for her!! And Simon Yam won best actor for the movie I'm dying to watch. The one with Sandra Ng(one my my favourite actress)!!! Gonna go watch it after I'm done with assignments!!! Hope cinema still airs it after that...LOL.

P.S. 5 more days till A-mit concert and Charmaine's arrival~ Looking forward!! Add Oil to my assignments~ Gonna try finish one by Wednesday!!

Star Wars at Eason Duo Concert

I couldn't refrain from writing this post up although I'm very busy...LOL. Well, okay, I'll make the post short!

Eason recently had his Eason Duo in HK colliseum and during the final night, friends from the entertainment circle came to watch him, including HOCC, Joey Yung, Wyman Wong etc. And during the concert, some fans caught a Star Wars Jedi in action! LOL.....

Photobucket


And here's a video of Jedi in action!



Lesson number 1: When watching a concert, refrain from sitting beside Joey Yung aka Joey Skywalker so as to avoid your head being chopped off by a light saber.

Miscellaneous: Joey carrying a backpack to concert...looks so student like...HAHAHA

Photobucket

Lesson number 2: To look young, carry a backpack!

Alright, enough jokes and stalks from my side...back to my assignments! Hope you enjoyed the Lessons of the day post and feel enlightened with knowledge after reading it!Photobucket

P.S: the light saber isn't cheap eh....I once wanted to get one and the price was around a thousand Malaysian ringgit/2000HKD. The blue one they're using is the Anakin version if I'm not mistaken.

Hong Kong Artiste current trend??

I wanted to write this post up yesterday. However because I was too caught up with uni work, so only decided to write this after midnight, which means sacrifice some time off my sleep. LOL.

I recently realised that there's a current trend between Hong Kong artiste going on now with Sina's Weibo. What is Weibo?? Well, its similar to Twitter only just a little more interactive. Well, basically, a chinese version of Twitter. I came to know about it through Joey because her facebook got banned....and Twitter was banned for China, so she created one on Weibo. From there, I first realise many other HK singers are there. In fact, almost the whole HK singing community is there. Among them are Kenny Kwan, Vincy, Sherman, Andy Hui, Hacken Lee, Leo Ku, Gigi Leung, Denise Ho, At17, Eric Suen, Stephy Tang, Miriam Yeung, Hins Cheung.....................

From Weibo, you can actually see them communicating with each other which are sometimes really hillarious. For example, sharing thoughts on food, ideas, bickering, arguing, joking with each other etc.

Recently, the trend has extended to not only singers but also industry people such as music producers, lyricist (Wyman Wong registered 2 days ago), composers, managers (Mani) and also TVB artiste!!

Among TVB artiste who were first active users include Myolie, Bosco, Sharon Chan, Leila Tong, Kingdom Yuen, Joe Ma and Bowie Lam. And now the trend has spread to Michael Tse and also most recently Christine Ng. I was lucky enough to be on Weibo when Christine registered (well, actually Sharon helped Christine to register an account coz she probably didn't know how...LOL). Christine started posting messages on Weibo and I randomly commented on one and surprisingly I received a reply from her! Here's how it went:


伍詠薇 回复 @Ivyryc:我真的超搞笑, 改變不了!多謝你來玩! (3月27日 16:49)
我的评论:“就係鍾意你㗎人好搞笑!哈哈。。yeah!”

Translation: Christine posted something funny,

so I told her: Your're humorous. That's the reason that I like you! Haha...Yeah!

Christine replied: I really am extremely humorous, my character can't be changed anymore! Thank you for coming to play in here!

And after that Christine's following messages were really funny such as calling Bosco handsome guy, grumbling that some artiste hasn't greeted her on Weibo when others did (which Sharon commented, asking her to hit his 'pat pat'(backside) when she sees him)...LOL. And Sharon, Myolie and Christine seems to be good friends having nicknames for each other. Recently, Christine has been commented to have been poisoned by the Weibo addiction...Hahaha..n all the artiste are making fun of her about it.

Well basically, that's Weibo and I'm predicting more artiste will be joining the community soon! So, for those who has some basic Chinese character literacy(you don't need a lot...you can actually guess the buttons), join Weibo to know more of your idols and see how they interact with their peers and maybe interact with you too! haha...just click any of the links below and click the buton 注册 to register an account!


Here's a list of Weibo page suggestions to start with:

My Weibo page(add me after you register!! LOL): http://t.sina.com.cn/ivyryc

I'll stop here!!!! If not the list will keep going on and on..............Leave the rest for you guys to find out or ask me if you wanna know if your idol is on Weibo! LOL....I'll let you know if I know!!

P.S. All Weibo URL above are confirmed to personally belong to the respected artiste

Update:
Received another reply from Christine today...LOL

伍詠薇 回复 @Ivyryc:知道! (23分钟前)
我:我又來啦~~~早點覺吧Miss 5!!健康生活...哈哈哈

Translation:

Christine said she was tired so I said: I'm here again~~~Sleep earlier Miss 5!! Healthy lifestyle...HAHAHA

Christine: Alright!

P.S. She's really cute! And I think I did a typo, but she understood my message anyways...LOL

[17 Mar 2010] EEG Insures Joey’s Voice for HK$50million


Source: Xinhuanet


Since last year when Joey Yung discovered she had some callus on her vocal chords, which caused her to sound hoarse, she had been worried that it would affect her singing career. After spending 3 months to recuperate, and travelling to Nanjing to have acupuncture, she has slowly gotten better. Afterwards, Joey had secretly gone into hospital to have an examination, and the doctors discovered that the callus had disappeared, which made Joey very happy when she was told of this. To protect their ‘money tree’, EEG has decided to spend HK$50million to insure Joey’s vocal chords.

Ivy: 50 Million!! EEG really do know how to secure themselves. Well I hope they don't even need to claim this insurance! LOL
Btw, Fahrenheit is coming to KL (or rather they are already here) this Saturday. Now I'm thinking should I drop by to have a look?? HAHA...the only reason is because I want to see Wu Zhun in person...LOL. Since I'm not really a fan and don't really listen to their music. Will consider it.....LOL
