春節晚會今天將進行第三次綵排，按照規定，港台演員過兩天就要全部到位，但是昨天記者卻獲悉，已經大張旗鼓 對外宣佈參加春晚的周杰倫，因為審批問題，能否最終趕來現場還是個問題！

There will be a third rehearsal tonite for the chinese new year performance. Following the the rules and regulations, by right, the performers should be prepared and be in Beijing in two days time. However, a reporter said that Jay who is still facing the problem of the officials, examining his version of the song(Should be long quan) that he is singing on the day of the performance. Therefore, Jay may face a problem of not getting to be ready and be in Beijing in time.


　　記者在第一次、第二次的綵排中均未看見《龍拳》的道具走台，而第二次綵排節目單中更是沒有列出《龍拳》 這個節目。因此有傳聞說，周杰倫的節目因為其口齒不清被下，記者在第二次綵排後的第一時間，採訪了總導演袁 德旺，對於周杰倫的節目是否已經被取消，袁德旺的回答是這樣的：「沒有啊，沒有啊。有他的節目。」口吻甚是 肯定。不過，據記者瞭解，目前周杰倫是因為審批來內地遇到了一點「小麻煩」，才阻礙了他來綵排的行程。現在 ，他是否能及時而順利來北京參加春晚，誰也說不准。而與周杰倫將同台演出的澳門武打美女李菲也不知情況，她 目前被告知的情況是———按照原定計劃練。

During the first 2 rehearsals, the reporters had not seen props of long quan on stage...and during the second rehearsal, the rehearsal did not even include long quan as a performance item. Therefore, there are rumours saying that Jay will not be performing as his song lyrics still cannot be heard clearly. Therefore, after the second rehearsal, reporters immediately interviewed the person in charge of


the whole show and asked if Jay's item was cancelled. The in charge replied:" Nope, his performance is still on"....and he sounded very sure.
However, the reporters found out that Jay had met some problems with the approval to go into mainland. Thats why he could not go for the rehearsals. Now, no one knows if he can make it to Beijing on time to perform. The girl who will be performing long quan with Jay is also not sure whats going on actually. What she had been told to do,is to follow the original schedule and continue practising her item.

Personal comments:

Oh my god...
Poor Jay meeting so many problems due to this performance in Beijing...
Firstly it was the version of long quan that has to be sung clearly...
And now,he met problems with the approval to go into mainland...
What are the china officials doing man??!!
Can they please stop giving Jay problems?!?
Firstly we dun mind whatever he sings cos we know that it will be nice...
Why are they so fussy?Oh my god...Jay must be worried sick now...the performance date is nearing and he still has not gotten the chance to rehearse his item yet...
Just hope that he will be able to get to Beijing soon...
Even if he has no time to rehearse,i know that he will do a good job...moreover he has to lip-sing...he need not sing it live....
Jay,jiayou worh!!

However, the reporters found out that Jay had met some problems with the approval to go into mainland.

does this mean that jay is having immigration problems or sth? that would be pretty tragic, to not be able to perform in another country during major celebrations due to immigration problems...

i'm sure it will be ok though, thanks for the news moonsilk!

[abra16]

hmm... but jay has always been a good boy, so how come he will be having problems with the entrance permit to china? haha, must be that he is going to china too often. just kidding.
yah, really hope he can make it there since it's like the whole world knows he's going, so if he is not there, there will sure be plenty of rumours about it.
or is it because of what he signed on the picture? dun think so...

[Shanhaigirl]

OMG! Those people really drive me crazy! HOw can they even think of not letting Jay take part in the concert?! and why wouldn't they leave Long Quan as it is???!!! Why would they care if the words can't be understood?! Fans like it, therefore it SHOULD be approved!!!
Jay! Don't change anything! the song is excellent as it is!

[jie_jie]

Poor JAY!! he has to face so much problems just to perform in one concert... :-x first it was because of his mumbling, which in my opinion think that the coordinators of this new year celebration thingy is just making a mountain of a molehill. what's wrong wif them?? we like jay's mumbling!! rite, guys?? then, this immigration problem.. there must be curse or something!! damnit! :profanit:
hopefully he'll make it time for the concert! if he misses this concert, the paparazzi will not let this golden opportunity to comment on jay pass by! then, stoopid untrue rumors will sprout out again..

oh, and thank you moonsilk for the info..

[yiwen]

big deal....who wants to go for that stupid performance! why don't jay just cancel it and it'll end all the trouble. why should jay undergo such torment of being picked on! He has the choice, not as if he wants to go for it that badly!

those reporters are stressing jay out!!! hope jay takes all these easily!

[Pugwash]

What the heck! Why is it that he is getting so much crap thrown at him from the judges to actually getting in Mainland?

What's the problem with getting in Mainland, he travelled around China on several occasions just in the past month and now he can't get in? What! I hope it has nothing to do with that Qing Dao incident where he signed diao as Abra mentioned because then that's just plain, STUPID.

Also, I don't think the judges are being very friendly with him... but the guy who runs the show is quite confident that Jay will make it and be able to present what the crowd wants.

Thanks for the translation.

[knock]

Thanks for the translation, moonsilk!

what?! His new version of Long Quan is still not clear enough?! What the officials trying to do?! If they are so great, they performed tt song themselves la! Let's see who will turn up. I will probably be laughing so hard with my ass on da floor man. And immigration problems?! Since when Jay hafe troubles over this? Somehow, i think Jay's face is his passport already. Maybe the writer of this article are hiding something. The whole idea bout that the china officials hafe are ridiculous!

[rosiean86]

Thanks for the translation Moonsilk! I feel so bad for Jay..he worked so hard and had to produce a new version of his song, and it would be such a shame if he couldn't be able to perform due to stupid immigration issues. I was really looking forward to his performance too...if he comes through with it, I'm sure it will be awesome. Jia you Jay, we all support you!

[xJayChoux]

moonsilk, thanks for the translation...but please: DON'T DOUBLE POST.

Well...they want Jay to sing Long Quan to sing clearly, Jay agreed. Now he has to prepare for this performance and they start saying that he won't have enough time to do this? :glug: Be patient, man. I'm sure Jay will attend this event and he'll rock ur CNY! :yeah:

[hellokitty]

Poor Jay :( Having still to work on his B Day and not being able to get into china and all that...I hope he doesnt miss the performance! When is the performance date anywayz?

[Chun Li]

hmm. Has Jay sang the Taiwanese national anthem or something lately? You know how stiff those people are on the mainland.

[phoebe]

on one hand i want to say to hell with you officials and forget about the whole thing , on the other hand i think jay wants to perform so that more ppl will know his music - the china market is huge and speaks the lingo . no wonder with all these problems , his bithday party is being pushed around . poor jay.

[princess_xixi]

ohmigod!!!!!!!!1
i feel so sorry for jay!
why are the officials sooo harsh on him??
this is not fair
i pry that jay will get to beijing on time
his performance is worth everything
no one will ever regret once they've seen it!
goodluck to jay

[jaycee]

no wonder with all these problems , his bithday party is being pushed around . poor jay.

ooooo i never thought of that. to think that the rescheduling of jay's birthday celebration pissed off so many overseas fans ... all just because these darn officials won't leave him alone and approve him so that he can prepare for the performance. come to think of it, i seriously don't think this performance is worth all of jay's troubles. these chinese officials don't seem sincere at all ... just want to use jay's popularity to promote their own show. :-x

thanks moonsilk for the info

[lene]

poor jay :cry:

the chinese officials are just crazy! :oops: they're too strict! there are just so many unreasonable demands... :dry:

i pity the fans who are all looking forward to jay's performance. come on, watching jay perform live would be
the BEST way to ring in the Chinese new year. i hope everything works out...

[aznbballer]

well thas gonna be a big shame that jay can't b ready 4 the bei jing new yers performance buh in a wai it is the officials fault 4 not leting him sing his own version of long quan

well hopefully he'll b redy and good luck to him!

[Mushimushi]

Oh My!!

Why are there so many problems about Jay....
I think Jay must have felt quite sad when his b dae is celebrated so much earlier and now this has to happn....what the hell are the officials doing? Did Jay ever offended them....they must be mad.

I hope everything will go well.
