National Paddler - Li Jia Wei To Star In ' Table of Glory 乒乓圆 ' ?

16 November 2008

Will we see Li Jia Wei in a cameo role or even a lead role in Mediacorp Table Tennis Themed Drama Serial - Table of Glory 乒乓圆 next year ? This is the question some may be wondering and asking following reports of our National paddler - Li Jia Wei may be interested in acting !

Table of Glory 乒乓圆 is Mediacorp's third Sports Themed Drama Serial in recent years after - The Champions ( 2004 ) and Beach . Ball .Babes earlier this year . The casts for this New Serial has not been fully confirmed , ( though Joshua Ang of Jack Neo - I Not Stupid " Fame has been confirmed being offered a role in the Serial ) so thus rising speculation that following reports of Jia Wei may be interested in acting that there is a possibility that viewers here may just get to see her appearing in this Chinese Drama Serial !

Although she may be interested in acting , time may just prove to be a deciding and important factor of whether she could take up the role if offered to her . It is understood that Jia Wei is now focused on training for major competitions as well as preparing for the London Olympics in 2012 . If there were to be any developments , it is likely that it will happen only next year .

But Li Jia wei 's personal friend and manager - Ms Nelly Poa was quoted as saying : " Even Jia Wei is keen on acting , it is something that will likely take a while to happen " when approached for an interview by a local newspaper earlier this week .

One particular fan was however quite keen on seeing Jia Wei acting on TV : " I can see her in girl - next - door roles . I think she will do very well . Maybe they should get her to play a table tennis player ! "

So , now , the opportunity is here ... As here we have a Table Tennis Themed Drama Serial in the making and with the cast still not fully confirmed as yet , so Mediacorp , are u listening ? If Jia Wei is really keen on acting , maybe , just maybe ... Jia Wei can try to start her acting career from this Table Tennis Drama Serial onwards , and viewers may just be in for a very pleasant surprise ! We may just get to see her appearing in this new Drama Serial !

But here's the catch : That is , if time and her schedules permit !


Discussion Point :

* What do u think of Li Jia Wei appearing in Table of Glory ? Should she take up the role if offered to her ? Should Mediacorp try to approach her for a role in the Serial ? *

* Feel free to share your views and opinions with us here ! *

LATEST ! Campus Superstar 3 Auditions To Begin In Early November 2008 !

27 October 2008

* Latest ! The new Season of Campus Superstar is back once again ! The popular singing competition that shot young singing talents such as Huang Zhiyang , Teresa Tseng , Keely and Shawn Tok to instant fame and popularity is back for a brand New third Season !

After the success of the first two Seasons in 2006 & 2007 , the third Season of Campus Superstar competition is scheduled to hit our TV Screens as early as January next year with the Auditions expected to be held in early November !

Viewers can expect lots of refreshing sweeping changes being made in the brand New Season of Campus Superstar from the hosts as well as to it's competition format !

For a start , the hosts for this brand new Season of CSS will be Pornsak and current hot rising star actress - Felicia Chin . This will also be Felicia Chin's first time hosting a LIVE show ! Also , as for the competition proper , it is known that the contestants will no longer be separated in two different groups - ( boys and girls groups respectively ) and required to compete in their own groups anymore ! It will be slightly different this time round .

Also, unlike previous Seasons of Campus Superstar where the Auditions were held outdoors in popular shopping centres such as Bishan Junction 8 or Toa Payoh HDB Hub , this year , all the Auditions will be held at Mediacorp Studios itself !

On this note , according to Mr Paul Chan ( MediaCorp TV's vice-president of branding and promotions ) , confirmed this news on his Blog :

" CSS3 Audition will be held on 8th and 9th of November in MediaCorp . The advantage of this is that all participants can go into separate rooms to audition (no more outdoor stage like in Toa Payoh HDB Hub where you have to be fair and all must audition waiting in queue to sing on stage) . At MediaCorp , it will speed up the process as we can have many rooms with many panel of judges . No more long waiting ... "

The Auditions will begin as early as on the second week of November 2008 - on the weekend of 8 November 2008 & 9 November 2008 ! Secondary School , JC & ITE students are welcome to take part and Contestants are to appear in their school uniforms for the Auditions !

Also , as part of Channel U's efforts to promote the New Season Competition proper which begins on 5 January 2009 , YOGA Lin You Jia of Taiwan's popular Talent Search Show - ' Millionstar ' fame has been chosen as the official ambassdor for Campus Superstar 3 !

As an ambassor of Campus Superstar 3 , he will also appear as a Special Guest to perform during the Grand Final Night to be held on Sunday , 12 April 2009 !
