Monday May 28, 2007 Hong Kong Shawn Yue to Star in Ayumi Hamasaki's MVs Japanese diva, Ayumi Hamasaki has always liked Hong Kong. Beside from flying to Hong Kong to shoot her photo book and MVs in the previous year, the singer has decided to return to Hong Kong this year, in June, and has chosen Shawn Yue to star as the male lead in the MVs. Edison Chen was also considered to take the job but because he looks younger than Ayumi, it was decided that he was unsuitable for the role. Ayumi Hamasaki has been concentrating heavily on the Asian market in the past year. After having a concert tour throughout Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the star is now concentrating on concerts to be held in her homeland. Despite being accused to be lip-syncing during her concert by Hong Kong singer, Eason Chan, Ayumi has not lost her feelings towards the region. 6 months ago, Ayumi attended the premier of Hong Kong movie 'Confessions of Pain', which caused her to admire the director, Andrew Lau a lot. Ayumi has also requested for the Hong Kong director to direct her MVs. Her sincerity has been shown through her company, Avex, who has been sending representatives to talk to Andrew Lau for the past few months. When reporters telephoned Andrew Lau yesterday, he confirmed that plans to work together had been made, he said, "As I will be flying to USA tomorrow, we cannot work together this time. (Have they found someone else to be the director?) I do not know about this but I am sure there will be a chance for us to collaborate." credits: sina, asianfanatics.
Not really into Shawn Yue (it's a first impression thing, a LOOOOONG time ago I was at the book fair in Hong Kong convention centre and my first impression of him was horrible...) Too bad Edison didn't get the role!!! >_<b I would LOVE to see him in AYU's MV...
