Ariel Lin Treated Coldly in Hong Kong; Fans Cry Injustice

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Joe Chen gnad Ariel Lin last week went to Hong Kong to promote their upcoming drama "It Started with a Kiss 2", but because of fans having problems with TVB's handling of tickets and the host of the reporters meeting being cold to Ariel, many Hong Kong fans felt so bad they cried right then and there.

This matter has been talked about for days, Hong Kong fans have been expressing their dissatisfaction on the internet, and has gone on the TVB site to reprimand the host for "having no brain". Yesterday Ariel's publicist announced to her fans: "We really appreciate everyone's support, but this is just a misunderstanding, Ariel's feelings weren't hurt at all, so everyone shouldn't worry about this anymore."

The other big thing that bothered the fans were, tickets sold by TVB for the reporter's meeting were not enough for the actual number of fans who wanted it. Becuase at the beginning of the week, the event was only booked for Joe, then they added Ariel's name, so most of the tickets were sold to Joe fans. Then, during the press conference, the host would ask Joe questions and then on-spot try to see who had more fans. Ariel's fans couldn't get into the event, so of course her fans' spirit couldn't defeat Joe's. A lot of fans felt this was unfair, and started crying at the event.

These past few days, both her publicist and Ariel have been leaving messages online comforting her fans. Her publicist said: "Some things are really just misunderstandings, for example, Ariel really doesn't like it when fans are there when she's getting off or boarding a plane. Before we explicitly requested that fans not be at the airport to see her off or to see her come off the plane, and then a few people show up, and pictuers are taken and written as articles, and fans start to worry that Ariel would be hurt with reports like that, but she really doesn't have any kind of sad feelings about that."

Yesterday, Ariel and Joe were filming for ISWAK2 for a needle scene. The director wanted this to look real, and requested that Ariel actually inject the needly into Joe, and she was really scared, but at the end, she did it and got some of Joe's blood out. Joe laughed and said: "I'm the one who's blood is being sucked out, you can't be more nervous that me."
