August 8, 2003 More Updates for the Website Soon
I'm guessing that a lot of you have finished watching Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3 already. I am ashamed to say that I haven't, even though I'm supposed to keep this website going with new information. I have only watched the first 20 episodes so far. They were good, although not as good as the previous two. It was mainly because of the change of actors and actresses, especially Zhao Wei/Vicki as Xiao Yan Zi. ::sighs deeply:: Loosing her meant loosing a bunch of funny parts as well. Huang Yi just isn't the same.
May 17, 2003 All SARS's Fault!!!
Because of the damn SARS, HZGG 3 will not begin airing in China until July 2003. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Hopefully, this terror will end soon.
April 5, 2003 Some Changes
Please disregard the previous information about HZGG3 coming out around the Chinese New Year. It will begin airing in Guang Dong (province in China) in May.

That's all for now!! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!
April 6, 2002 Great Losses, Not So Great Gains
::sighs:: ):Guess What? Zhao Wei/Vicki is NOT going to play Xiao Yan Zi anymore. Instead, a really ugly new "yan zi" (if you can even call her that) is taking her place. Her name is Huang Yi. She played "Li Xiao Jie" (Miss Li) in "Zuo Cuo Hua Jiao Jia Dui Lang" (Rode the Wrong Carriage, but Married the Right Man). Other Actor/Actress Changes: 1. Su You Peng/Alec Su isn't going to play Yong Qi anymore. Gu Ju Ji/Leo Gu (played "He Shu Huan" in "Qing Shen Shen Yu Meng Meng/Romance in the Rain")is taking his place. He is sooooo ugly! 2. Lin Xin Ru isn't playing Zi Wei. An actress who had a small part in "Hei Dong" (Black Hole) is taking the part. (Oh well! Not that great of a loss...) 3. Zhang Tie Lin isn't playing Qian Long anymore. I don't know who is taking his place yet. 4. Dai Cun Rong isn't playing the Emperess. 5. Zhu Hong Jia isn't playing Xiao Jian. A better looking guy took the part. Other Losses: 1. Five characters from HZGG II are leaving the series. They are: Jin Suo, Liu Qing, Liu Hong, Han Xiang, and Meng Dan. 2. There isn't going to be a daughter for Xiao Yan Zi. The baby died before she was born. Not So Great Gains: 1. New Xiao Yan Zi played by Huang Yi. 2. Other new actors/actresses playing old parts. 3. Four additional people that I don't know a thing about! No Changes: 1. Zhou Jie is still going to be Er Kang. 2. Wang Yan/Rebecca Wang is still going to play Qing Er. 3. Li Ming Qi (Rong Muo Muo) and Zhao Min Feng (Tai Hou/Emperess Dowager) are still in HZGG III.
December 28, 2001 Some Changes
It seems that the shooting of HZGG III didn't start in October like it was planned. Qiong Yao is still writing it and is only on the 16th chapter. They believe the shooting will probably start in February of 2002.There are still rumors that Zhao Wei/Vicki isn't going to play Xiao Yan Zi anymore. I'm not sure if they're true, but let's just hope they aren't.
August 21, 2001 Just a Rumor
Thank God! Thank God! Thank God! Zhao Wei/Vicki NOT playing Xiao Yan Zi/Little Swallow is JUST the reporters starting a rumor. And yes, I've gotten this from a reliable source. The People Daily (Chinese newspaper) had an interview with Zhao Wei/Vicki's agent (who's also her sister-in-law by the way) and she said that Zhao Wei is DEFINITELY going to continue playing Xiao Yan Zi.
August 17, 2001 New Characters
Qiong Yao's husband, who also works in filming Huan Zhu Ge Ge, said that there will be many new characters in HZGG III. He never said who they'll be, but I believe they'll have something to do with Xiao Yan Zi or Xiao Jian's past. Those characters aren't minor characters either. They'll be quite important, he said. Maybe one of them will be Xiao Jian's real sister (I don't believe Xiao Yan Zi is his real sister). Another might be their new enemy since they already made peace with the Emperess.Unfortunatly, I still don't know who the new Jin Suo will be. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.
July 30, 2001 A New Jin Suo
Bad, bad, bad news!!! Fan Bing Bing is NOT going to play Jin Suo in the third HZGG! I don't know all the details. All I know is that she's leaving the Huan Zhu Crew because of her contract - I don't know WHAT about her contract though. If it expired, they could make a new one...couldn't they?
July 25, 2001 Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3
I have some new scoop on the third Huan Zhu Ge Ge. There are good news and bad news, but I'll say the good news first.The good news is, most of the actors/actresses from the first two HZGG's are going to be in the third one and they're going to start shooting by the end of this year. Lin Xin Ru/Ruby (Zi Wei) talked with Qiong Yao all night and said she'll definitely be in HZGG III no matter what. Su You Peng/Alec (Yong Qi) said he'll try to clear his schedule and will probably have time by next year spring or something. I'm not sure about Zhou Jie's (Er Kang) comments on this, but I haven't heard anything about him not being able to shoot the third HZGG so I'm going to guess that he'll have time too. Also, Dai Chun Rong (Emperess) said she'll definitely be in it and Zhang Tie Lin (Emperor) said he'll try to clear his schedule for it, so I'm going to take that as a "yes". The bad news are soooo bad!!! Zhao Wei/Vicki (Xiao Yan Zi/Little Swallow) is hesitating on taking the part because she said being Xiao Yan Zi has made people think that she's exactly like Xiao Yan Zi. Plus, she's practically lost a REALLY REALLY good part where she was going to play a REALLY smart girl. BUT, the reporters all said that after playing the stupid Xiao Yan Zi (how crazy are these people?!) she wouldn't look right playing a smart person. And because of that, the production company is leaning towards another actress (Zhou Xun, and no, she's not at all related to Zhou Jie - Er Kang). They haven't made their last decision yet but Zhao Wei/Vicki's chances are very slim. I guess mainly because of that, she isn't sure if she wants to play Xiao Yan Zi anymore. She hasn't made her final decision yet though. So I'm going to pray that she'll will continue to play the wonderful, funny, smart (in my opinion) Xiao Yan Zi. On to a lighter subject...They have revealed what the third HZGG is going to be about!!! Yay!!! Remember what happened in the second one?? If you don't, I'll remind you. Xiao Yan Zi found out she had a brother and a little about her family - that they were killed by someone - and in order to keep the two children safe, their parents sent one north and one south. What Xiao Yan Zi didn't know was who the person who killed her parents was. But her brother knew, but he vowed to keep it a secret for her sake (Er Kang begged him to), because if she found out, it would devastate her. Their enemy was the emperor, who was practically like a father to Xiao Yan Zi and is her fiance (Yong Qi)'s father. Of course, the emperor doesn't know the truth either. Also, remember? Xiao Yan Zi and Yong Qi, Zi Wei and Er Kang got married at the end of HZGG II. In the third one, there's going to be a xiao "Xiao Yan Zi" (little "Little Swallow"). Can you guess what that means?! Yes!!! Xiao Yan Zi and Yong Qi are going to have a daughter! Surprised? They never said if Zi Wei and Er Kang are going to have a child too but them having a child isn't very surprising. But that isn't what the third HZGG is mainly going to be about though. In the third one, Xiao Yan Zi is going to find out who killed her parents and how she's going to deal with being married to the killer's son. There are also rumors about having Xiao Yan Zi die at the age of 25, but those are ONLY rumors. Of course, if Qiong Yao is going to make Xiao Yan Zi die, at least make her die at the age of 24, because in real life, Yong Qi died when he was 25 and Xiao Yan Zi is a year younger than him. If they die together, it would be a bit more comforting because then it would be like Romeo and Juliet. Hehe...OK, on to the next subject. Actually this isn't the next subject really. I'm going to take a guess at what happens in the very end of HZGG III. Because I know Yong Qi dies at the age of 25, I'll know that in the third HZGG Yong Qi is going to die of a disease or something or maybe kill himself because of Xiao Yan Zi's past and Xiao Yan Zi will take her daughter and leave the palace and go to Da Li. If she leaves with Zi Wei, Er Kang and Xiao Jian or not, I don't know. OR, maybe Yong Qi won't really die. Remeber how in the second HZGG they mentioned that whenever someone important (concubine, prince, princess, emperess, or maybe the emperor himself and yes, that's happened but that's a different story) leaves the palace, and never comes back of course, they'll announce that he or she died. So maybe Yong Qi, Xiao Yan Zi, their daughter, Zi Wei, Er Kang, Xiao Jian, and Qing Er (of course he HAS to bring Qing Er, or maybe Qing Er won't go with them cuz she can't leave Emperess Dowager) will all leave Beijing and move to Da Li. The sad thing about that is that Liu Qing, Liu Hong, and Jin Suo won't be able to go with them because Liu Qing and Liu Hong had already said in the second HZGG that they won't be able to just leave the young and the old from Da Za Yuan in Beijing. And Jin Suo married Liu Qing so...So the main thing is either Xiao Yan Zi and Yong Qi both die OR they leave. Either way it's sad... |
