It was revealed a few days ago that Sam Wang ShaoWei (of 5566 and 183Club), once described by bandmate Tony Sun XieZhi as being a tremendous ladies' man and charmer, attempted to "electrify" 梁又琳 Liang YouLin. The two of them worked together on CTS' Your Home Is My Home and immediately hit it off. Those present at filming observed that Wang ShaoWei employed three main techniques for picking up girls.

Only Met On the Day of Filming

Liang YouLin ended her 9-year relationship in November of last year (2007) and has been waiting earnestly for new love. A few days ago, she filmed a scene from Your Home Is My Home; her character, along with ShaoWei's, set up a stall to sell red bean cakes (紅豆餅 hong duo bing). And ShaoWei did not lose to his own scripted role of "Famous Lover,"* either, flirting off-camera as well.
* Translator's Note: This just means that his character in Your Home Is My Home is probably a bit of a playboy and a charmer.

When it comes to electrifying and chasing girls, Wang ShaoWei can indeed be deemed an old expert. Bandmate Tony Sun XieZhi once summed up his flirting abilities and success rate in this remarkable way: "If all the women in this world loved only Wu Zun and Takeshi Kaneshiro, Wang ShaoWei would still be in third place." Those present at filming explained that, in teasing Liang YouLin, Wang ShaoWei used three main techniques. The first technique is to engage a girl in easy conversation; according to our sources, the two spoke for the first time on the day of filming. However, almost immediately, they began conversing enthusiastically and non-stop, hitting it off right away.

Agency Is Not Surprised

His second method is to use playful "games" to become closer to a girl: for example, although the red bean cakes had already gone bad and were beginning to smell, ShaoWei and Liang YouLin still began to "play" on set. Even after the take was finished, they were still smearing each other's faces with butter; the "Cut!" of the Director had no effect on them. The third method is to capture a beautiful woman through the lens: as Liang YouLin rehearsed her scenes, ShaoWei used the cameraman's camera to secretly film her. He even showed the footage to her afterwards, thus increasing the amount of contact the two could have. However, ShaoWei insisted yesterday, "I was only practicing how to use a camera lens-- that's all!"

Liang YouLin's agency had this to say in explanation: "They're young, you know, so of course it's very easy to become familiar with each other." To the charge that Liang YouLin was only contracted to work on the drama for a few days and that the time they had to spend together was insufficient (for such familiarity), ShaoWei's manager Li ShiXiang said, "Everyone's an entertainer... so there's naturally a lot they can talk about. Don't make a big deal out of nothing."

Translator's Comments: First, for those who are curious, Liang YouLin is a minor actress who is probably most famous for her role in My Secret Garden II, in which she played one of Ariel Lin YiChen's friends.

ShaoWei is known to be kind of an "underground" ladies' man... he's always careful to be really considerate, and he knows how to act really naturally with women. He teases a bit, but is never really too over the top. So I guess I wouldn't be surprised if he WERE trying to flirt with her.

However, I'm NOT convinced that this article can really be trusted 100%... simply because Liang YouLin and ShaoWei definitely met each other before this drama... she also played a small part in E Nu Ah Chu and promoted that drama together with him on a few variety shows. It might have been the first time the pair actually talked to each other, but it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's the first time they've met
