Lu Hu is one of the most prolific, if not the best, songwriters in Super Boys. As the only Super Boy with a professional recording device at home, his home is a haven to young Super Boy composers like Wang Yuexin and Wei Chen. His character's name sounds like either that of a martial arts master wannabe since it’s a combination of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, or of someone who’s gay, or both.

FAQ

QUOTE
Q: Who are all these people?
A: Yu Haoming, Wei Chen and Lu Hu both belong to EE Media, which is one of the foremost company in mainland entertainment. Haoming, Wei Chen and Lu Hu all competed in Super Boys 2006, an American-idol like competition for males. You can learn more about the Super Boys here. You can learn more about Yu Haoming here and Wei Chen here. Everyone else is mainly new.

Q: Can they act?
A: Yu Haoming starred in the musical "Le Huo Nan Hai," which is coming out in April. Wei Chen was the supporting actor. You can read more about Le Huo Nan Hai, here and here. Wei Chen was also the supporting actor in the play version of "Struggle" and the movie "Seventeen," which has yet to be released. Read about him in Struggle here. The main actress is a student of the prestigious Beijing Film Academy, which has produced actresses like Vicki Zhao Wei and Crystal Liu Yifei. Daomingsi/Yuan Hai's actor is a graduate of the even more prestigious Central Academy of Drama, whose alumni includes international stars like Gong Li, Liu Ye and Zhang Ziyi.

Q: How will mainland dramas show the extravagance of the students?
A: For an example of Hunan TV's previous works, click here to watch the opening of Dreams Link. Unless you're as rich as F4, it should look very extravagant. As stated earlier, it will be filmed in the affluent Xiamen University. For pictures, click here.) Click here for pictures of the hotel where they're staying (Asia Gulf Hotel), where I assume they'll film some indoor scenes.

So Yu Hao Ming is confirmed to be in this?
He's such a cutie<3
13infamyss
omg so this is it? the title is meteor rain?
im pretty sure, meteor rain was meteor garden's special 4 episodes' title.


and the rumours of hangeng in the drama, his company already decided to turn it down since he`ll be focusing on his group's comeback in korea
celery
Oh come on,
a mainland version?
hana yori dango fever much? :/
i guess i'll still be looking forward to seeing this.

brightlight
I think Yu Haoming's pretty much confirmed as Lei...

which makes me slightly annoyed because I don't feel like Yu Haoming's as much as an actor as Wei Chen...

and Haoming's too cheeful to be Lei...

and Wei Chen has Lei's musical talents...

but I'm probably very, very biased.
strawberrynkiwi
uh oh not again.
i just wish that they wouldn't air it so close to the korean one.
i mean talk about terrible marketing.
(like you don't see twilight and harry potter coming out the same month)
seriously hana yori dango is such a classic story that it will never be overused, with the exception of coming up with 4 productions within like 8 years and 3 in 4 years.
stupid ppl dry.gif

but whatever. i will probably catch some of this. im pretty sure i will still like it, as long as tsukushi is not annoying and there are f4 eye candies.
sadly it will never be as big of a hype as the taiwan or japanese one for me.
baby-swts
oooh interesting!!! i love hana Yori Dango best show ever tongue.gif

It said on the first post that this version will come out this september.

Airing : September 2009 on Hunan TV

as much as ive been a HYD worshipper but too much love for HYD is scary. 
i guess i`ll have to stop this time.....
.

Yu Haoming is pretty cute though
weird&short
They shoiuld have chosen a different title...
Wei Chen really looks like Vic.

I wonder why's everyone so fascinated about four flower boys.
It's a really cliche storyline... lol saying that I'm still watching it -__-.
deeLOVELY
another one?
the guy is cute but three is enough
Ladytron
Wow.. No offense, but I'm getting a little tired of Hana Yori Dango fever.

Don't get me wrong since I totally love the series and the other drams, but c'mon.

The Korean Version, which I love!, still hasn't even finished airing.

Oh well, it is airing in september..

Maybe I'll be ready for another helping of Hana Yori Dango, but then again, maybe not.

His IS cute though ^^, haha.
yongwonhi
SERIOUSLY? yu haoming!? I <3 HIM LOL
september is a long time away, guys. notice that boys before flowers will finish airing in march... o.o
--=WinGz=--
another one lol Still, Meteor Garden is the best ^^ I think the mainland version is slightly different from reading the storyline in the first post. But, Meteor Garden is chinese, so this is going to be another one in chinese lol.. i'm glad the names are different though ^^ But yeh, Meteor Rain is the title of the 4 individual stories of the characters from Meteor Garden. and the popular song of F4 lol They should have chosen a different title ^^

kaka~ memories of MG are popping up ^^ Dao ming si, hua ze lei <3 kakak!

<3 Wing
darcyausten86
I'm glad a fourth HYD is coming out, but the plot worries me. I read in other forum, that every F4 member falls in love with the female lead.
blissfully_unaware13x
^ well in the manga, pretty much each one of them does fall in love with her, i hear. but they're like subtle and whatnot...yeah. i think that's what happens in the manga.
well anyway, this is interesting.
hope it's good!
will probably be a success
but after this
message to all producers and people:
enough hyd...please? =o=
doremii*
too much HYD lol

Weichen is pretty cute though =)
JJ.exot5ia
woah... i mean i sure do love HYD but...
manga... anime... taiwanese... japanese... korean... and now mainland?
i mean i'm from mainland china so i should support but... eek
well i'll check it out when it does come out unsure.gif

Billie Poynter
I'm still gonna watch this one. That guy looks so cute. ^^
novemberbaby
I'll have to check this one out. I hope this is the last version of HYD 'cause I'm so sick of the plot already. I love the characters but come on, there's got to be more stories out there!
cerys
The actors so far look cute but can they please quit making different versions of HYD!

sad.gif

The three right now are just fine, no need for more! (And this adaption doesn't see like it would feel like HYD because they're going to change so much of it!)
Redrac
Can't wait for this one and for the cast to be confirmed. Thanks for all the updates Brightlight biggrin.gif
kanako28
wow, i didn't expect a Mainland version to come out so fast (although it's for sept 2009!) but with Yu Hao Ming and Wei Chen being in the cast, i'm quite curious about it. i'm not very familiar with these two singers, i only know Wei Chen's song 魏晨一个人睡.. but i saw them on Hunan TV a couple of times, and they are quite talented =) Yu Hao Ming is adorable and not a bad dancer =P
this sounds promising.
justanordinarywriter
And I thought Korean version will be the last of it...


Hmmmm.... I'm not sure whether I'll see this or not, but if Han Kyung is in, definitely will see this to check him out.. ROFL...


I guess 2009 is another year of HYD fever right? biggrin.gif

Xiamen University


On Feb. 03, three of F4 arrived in Xiamen. Xiamen University is the confirmed location for the filming of Meteor Rain.
















Ladytron
wow. it's going to look amazing! as it should, lol.

thinking over about it, i think that i'll probably watch this version too. each adaptation puts their own spin on the story and so in a way, it's a little bit different each time! biggrin.gif
c0lap1nada
Wow people love HYD. Gosh we need to stop making re-makes!
weird&short
oo so pretty. looks like big budget
I'm i seeing things? Are those computer mice in the sand?

Old Pictures of the new F4:

(from their blogs)

Zhang Han as Yun Hai











Zhu Zixiao as Ximen Ruiqian









lixx
i'm a little apprehensive about this, but heck, THE ACTORS ARE CUTE.

any pictures of the lead girl, though? blush.gif
brightlight
The girl is suppose to be announced tonight (Beijing Time)...which means tomorrow noon-ish for me.
lixx
cool! thanks for the info sweatingbullets.gif

oh god, i just read ee media's blog and this is what i found: 和我们耳熟能详的《流星花园》相比,以往纷繁的感情纠葛显得简单了许多,老版本中西门和小优、道明寺与小滋的感情故事都被删掉。西门加入到了花泽类、道明寺中,与杉菜一起搞起了四角恋情。

WHAT? xi men is joining in the love triangle rectangle too? this will either end up really confusing, or really amazing. ph34r.gif
brightlight
Based on what I've read so far, Ximen plays a minor character in F4.... his role has been heavily downsized while Akira/Ye Shuo will have more scenes (because Wei Chen's awesome like that)
doremii*
supposedly they're cutting out the Yuki character..
it's a love square between the lead girl and F3..
I think it's a "loose" adaptation of HYD lol
brightlight
I have a feeling that they won't actually cut her out...

Since Makino's friend will be female instead of male, he can't fall in love with the annoying girls... so I think she'll sort of replace Yuki and fall in love with Wei Chen's Akira...I mean, who wouldn't? laugh.gif

I don't know how else they'll increase Wei Chen's character (but then,there's a reason why I'm not a scriptwriter)
ayuki baby
woooow they look very hot, i really like Zhu Zixiao, he looks soooooo effing hot
im getting excited, cant wait to see how the girl looks like
lixx
finally, more akira love! i'm getting slightly cheesed off at the k version, since he gets NO LOVE.

anyway, i think you meant Akira, not Soujiro sweatingbullets.gif got a little confused when i read that unsure.gif
TVXQ<3
Wow! Mainland China version. As long as it is good, I'm gonna watch it. I love all versions of HYD.
The guys are cute ^________^
huangmeixi
That actually follows the manga. Akira loves Makino, but doesn't act on that. Wei Chen will be good at building chemistry with the lead. happy.gif
brightlight
Asia Gulf Hotel

I figured that since they're living there, they'll film it partly there, too...

anyways, if you happen to be Xiamen, this is the place to go and stalk them.













Redrac
Thanks Brightlight for all the updates

Looks really nice where they are filming and glad the cast has been confirmed. Yu Haoming will make a good Rui and just waiting for the girl. Roll on September biggrin.gif
kanako28
thanks guys for the pictures!
man, the school looks awesome. this drama will definitly have a big budget... i don't know the other two guys except Wei Chen and Yu Hao Ming but i'm looking forward to seeing the acting.
now we just have to wait for the production to pick a pretty girl =))

Well...Makino isn't supposed to be pretty, which is part of the appeal, but I think they picked her already.

It should be noted that the above picture will not be how they'll look like in the drama...

for example, Wei Chen dyed his hair back to black since the picture was taken.
cute girl
After watching the Tw, JP, Korean versions I think I'll watch the Chinese version & compare which one was better, but till now I'm enjoying the korean better, hopefully those cute guys will change my mind to the Chinese, who knows tongue.gif
cutegit
it just wouldnt stop! i wont even be surprised if they suddenly have a filipino version of HYD XD

i dont really know the actors but ill probably be watching this in september ;P

Thank god cuz those pics do not do the boys justice.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this drama. I'm glad that China's finally coming out of the shadows drama wise.
Xiamen University is gigantic! O_O is it in southern china? xD thanks brightlight for all the updates.
btw, shouldn't the announcement of the girl of come out by now?
brightlight
Apparently they're not announcing her/haven't decided...Hunan TV said that the Sina article lied about them revealing the girl...

I do hope they'll show her face, though...but Hunan TV/EE Media is really good at hiding people...

the actress of Ugly Wudi (Ugly Better, c version), wasn't revealed until the airing of the first episode. But I don't think they'll be able to do that here since fangirls will definitely be stalking them.

China actually has a lot of good dramas, they're just not very idol-ish... Hunan TV/EE Media's last few self-made dramas, Qia Tong Xue Shao Nian <3, Dreams Link and Ugly Wudi were all really good and extremely well-received. Huayi, who's more known for Zhang Jizhong's wuxia dramas, came out with the very popular Soldier Sortie. But only Dreams Link would fit under the traditional "idol drama" category, though it's my least favorite of the four...

Xiamen is in Fujian, which is in Southern China (as noted by all the palm trees).
nosuchthingasfairytales
^ aww seriously? >< i really hoped that the girl from the beijing film academy would play her...even though she was way too pretty xD i hope hunan tv doesn't keep the identity of the girl a secret until september. hmmm maybe i should ask some of my relatives in hunan to snoop around ^^ lol jk. but no, seriously ._. i would.

i would watch all of those dramas except my chinese is at the level of a middle schooler in china TToTT
hmm im going to persuade my dad to let me visit fujian the next time i go to china.

Zhu Zixiao and Zhang Han are pretty hot, but in some of the pictures zhu zixiao's haircut isn't very flattering xD
of course yu haoming and weichen look cute as always
nightfire
I really don't understand why HYD is so popular. The storyline isn't that amazing..
