Crystal Liu Yifei spotted in Hong Kong on Oct 22, 2008!

Hi, Wan Mei is back with a scoop!

Herewith, Wan Mei's comments:

"This young lady ("Amy") and her husband (they are from China) were visiting Victoria Peak in Hong Kong on Oct 22. At arround 9:30pm they saw Yifei accompanied by her mother and another lady entering the shop.



"Amy" said Yifei is a very nice person indeed, soft-spoken, very beautiful and elegant. She also noticed that Yifei has two small dimples when she smiles. Beside taking photo with Amy and her husband, Yifei also posed with another young couple.

Source: Amy's Sina Blog but the photo is not available at the moment so I used the watermarked version from 52yifei instead."

Thanks Wan Mei for the scoop!

"Amy" and her hubby are really fortunate to meet Liu Yi Fei in Hong Kong while on vacation, perhaps?

Hi, I found this report back on Oct 19, 2008:

xinhuanet.com

and later a second source:

baidu.com

Thanks alot to Seraphis who translated the award as:

"The Sixth Xtep DongNan Music Award Nomination List For Different Category

Yifei is nominated under the Most Popular/Well-received Singer From MainLand China category."


Thanks Seraphis!!!

Thanks also to dtsontan for helping out with the initial translation and research. Here's some of his findings:

"I only managed to find last year's winner, who was apparently ?? "Li Na"

The Sina article which described the award for last year is at this link (sina.com.cn) and has the following picture of Li Na:

As part of my "research", I also found this article from xinhuanet.com, which I think has some photos of other winners of the equivalent song awards, but might give an indication of what the award trophies look like.

Seraphis' translation of the YouTube vid - Crystal Liu Yi Fei's 48 hours in Shanghai

WOW!!!!! Seraphis' efforts in translating deserves a brand new and dedicated post!!!!!

First, the YouTube vid for reference. This upload by tinchung found by athena_liz24:



Seraphis' "translation begins here:

The host narrates about the topic that is going to be discussed in the program. I'll skip the front part of it because it is actually a short introduction on Yifei. Next, the host proceeds to the main purpose of the program. which is a summary on Yifei's two (hectic) days in ShangHai. A reporter was sent to report on Yifei's schedule, following her around for two days in ShangHai. (This is where you will see Yifei waving at the camera, Yifei asked the reporter whether she has any luggage in the close-up)

Day 1
(You can refer to the video and look at the time)


1100 Left the airport. (ShangHai's airport upon arrival)

1300 Started rehearsal.

1600 Rehearsal ended.

During the interval, where Yifei is seen entering the lift, the reporter asked if she was going to do her make-up, Yifei said ''Yes,see you later.''

1900 Backstage
You will see Yifei in her gown for the Garnier event, sitting down. The reporter asked her "Is it ok without the lights?'' (This is because she was supposed to memorise something/script that she was holding in her hand) Yifei replied, "I will find time later to memorise it, the lighting here is not good.''

2000 The Conference
What she is saying is actually the same as the interview done previously. You can check it out in another topic if you do not recall. Click here.

2200 Interview by the reporter
"I really like your program (referring to the program which initiated this) because I think the content of your program is very valuable and informative.''

2300 First day of work complete.

Day 2

1700 Rehearsal for Jimmy Lin's Concert
At the beginning, someone asked Yifei if she had ate her dinner, Yifei replied "I have not. How about you?". The next scene, the reporter asked if she had secretly practiced singing at home, Yifei laughed and said, ''No, it is only one song. Actually, the duet part still has alot of problem, I think I'll just leave it to Xiao Zhi to sing ''

A long filler appears, describing the morning where Yifei reached ShangHai airport. The narrator mentioned that the reporter suprisingly found Yifei standing outside, waiting for her mother and the crew whom travelled together with her. Yifei then asked, ''You all boarded the same plane here?'' .The reporter promptly replied, "Yes, were you tired in the plane?''. Yifei told the reporter, ''It is still alright, just a little bit tired, due to the fact that I have not been waking up this early over the past few weeks, it was only during filming that I wake up so early and that was around 5.'' The reporter then commented, " So it is ok for you to wake up early once in awhile?'' Yifei answered with a big smile on her face, "No problem." After that, she proceeds to obtain her luggage where she remained incognito throughout the journey. She unhurriedly walks out of the arrival hall like any normal passenger. However, she was soon discovered and mobbed by a flurry of fans and media. The story then shows the bodyguards doing their job, to the extent of holding the microphones during her interview in the Garnier event. The show jokingly laughs at the bodyguards by playing a song with humourous lyrics.

During the opening of the Garnier event, Yifei is seen dancing and moving with the flow of the coloured waves. Regarding that, she commented, " I practiced for a very long time, because at the start of the rehearsal, the flow of the waves cannot be seen. Therefore, the only way was to memorise the timing and move accordingly. Also, there is a worker who squats by the side of the stage, giving me the directions of the wave flow. However, during the performance at night, the lights have been switched off, so the wave could be seen clearly. Even so, there was still someone who helped me at the side of the stage, he/she was also very nervous, because any mistake would result in the whole performance being in a mess.

Finally, the filler ends and returns to the storyline where she was preparing for the rehearsal for Jimmy Lin's concert. She then tells the reporter while pointing at the dress, '' I chose this colour for the dress, because I feel that this colour would potray a more fairy-tale like and romantic feeling on stage. Besides, I have not worn any dress of this colour. This is an idea specially thought of for Jimmy Lin's concert.'' While looking at the camera, she commented that Xiao Zhi's costume for the night was very interesting. The reporter asked Yifei whether the costume was alright , Yifei replied, '' I do not know how the colour of the dress would look like on stage, but if it was seen here, it is quite good, I would say.'' On whether she would keep the costume after the concert, Yifei mischievously replied, " This would depend on whether Xiao Zhi would give it to me." She ends with a cute laugh after that.

It appears that she was leaving the area after the concert, the reporter asked her where is she going next, Yifei said she was heading to SuZhou, for the promotional event. The reporter then asked if she was leaving to SuZhou overnight, Yifei nodded. She then told the reporter "See you back in Beijing. Bye, bye."

The video is then finally completed. Sorry, I took so long to complete the translation because it is quite a long one compared to the previous one. Hope this helps you guys to understand what this video is generally about. Feel free to ask if you do not understand any part of my translation. Correction of mistakes are welcomed. Special thanks to dtsontan for helping with some of the mistakes.

I think this is the longest post I ever made. Lol. :D"

HUGE THANKS to Seraphis!!!!!

Thanks also to dtsontan "for helping with some of the mistakes"!!!!

UPDATE: download links + YouTube clip: Crystal Liu Yifei's 48 hours in Shanghai



You should see the YouTube video above, just click on the video to start.

If you prefer to download to your computer, click here.

All links found by ptpnguyen of Crystallized.

UPDATE: dtsontan has this to add:

"Also one thing I'd like to add is that the mediafire link posted by ptpnguyen is for a FLV file. If you want to download the video, but don't have the software to read this type of file, choongkop was kind enough to post on e-fairy.net a link where she had uploaded a WMV version:"

www.sendspace.com/file/k6e17c

WMV = Windows Media Video

Here's Seraphis' response to the video:

"Thanks for sharing, ptpnguyen. It is a very interesting video that you shared which contains alot of informative detail of Yifei's two-day schedule in ShangHai previously. From the video, it is revealed that Yifei's schedule is beyond hectic, if I had to work at her pace, I think I would be six-feet underground by now. Lol. Good to see Yifei working hard but feeling sympathetic for her, as she has barely enough rest."

To which I wish to add, Liu Yifei had so little sleep during that 48 hours as she had such a grueling and hectic schedule, yet she was always all smiles, considerate and obliging to others and was always looking out for her fans!!!
