Chinese Lyra Chosen
Posted on by Will

China have chosen their “Lyra”. An official internet survey was carried out – with over 10,000 people voting – to chose a Chinese female star who most resembles Lyra. Ella, from the Taiwanese Pop music group S.H.E., won, with Tungstar saying ,”Ella resembles Lyra the most when it comes to having an adventurous spirit.” We’re not entirely sure what’s going on here, but here’s photos of Ella apparently rejoicing at the news at a recent promotional event for the movie.

    Ella is a lovely person in all aspects. She is deserving of our respect in the way she deals with setbacks, uncalled- for criticisms and life in general. I am a great admirer of her.

    I think that Ella is a very good pick to promote this movie. She’s an awesome person with a great personality that everyone just feel comfortable to be with. Plus she’s very family in Taiwan and of course across Asian too, so the movie will get a lot benefit from this. And because of her, I will be planning to watch this movie. Ella jaiyou!!!!

    Congratulations to Ella. She deserved to be choosen as ‘Chinese Lyra’. Her voice and her adventurous spirit just fit for her.From Arthur and the Minimoys and now,The Golden Compass, her voices range in ‘unique’ tones. She brought out that quality of voice that sounds very differently. I don’t know why but i just love to hear her voice and i can say that she is definitely a good singer. By being spokeperson for this movie, i doubt that her effort paid off well. I love S.H.E and my most favourite member is Ella, of course!! Well i don’t see why people need to include negative comments on her. Is that simple if you don’t like her or even hate her, just don’t include your comment here. I know that this web page is to comment on Ella and as well to support her. To me, Ella is an outstanding artiste that take initiative to succeed and play her part to entertain others!!!

    I’m really proud of my idol..
    Love Ella so much!!

    Jiayou ELLA!!!

    Ella had her first official promotion event last week in Taiwan. The crowd and media coverage is definitely encouraging. Fans were there to support her, and of course, that translated into sales figures for the box office.

    I’m from Asia but not in Taiwan. But since I’ve learnt about this movie through Ella, I will definitely help to spread the word round to my other friends to support the movie. After all, Ella’s lively and witty introduction of the movie was interesting and left me wanting to know more. Who knows I might actually go pick out the books soon! She is definitely a deserving spokesperson.

    wow!!!Ella looks hot in the pics…i support her and SHE all the way….go go Ella…

    Im really glad that Ella got the role. Really wish to congratulate her. I think all misunderstandings should be cleared, because Ella is a really nice person. You have to really know her. Shes really bubbly & joyful & I really hope she can have all the happiness in her life. 🙂 Im going to continue supporting her! Hope you guys are with me!

  10. Bernice KHM says:

    Well and just incase some of you don’t know who Ella is, I would like to add that Ella is a member of S.H.E, a really popular girl band from Taiwan. Shes also an actress, and shes the female lead in shows like Hana Kimi, [hua yang shao nian shao nu], Reaching For The Stars [Zheng ming tian nu], The Rose & Magical Love. Im sure most of you would have heard of it. Shes really famous now because of her unique personality. Ella is really an angel to us fans, her kindness, doing Charity and such during her free time, & her attitude really makes us admire her. Alot of people tend to misunderstand her when they don’t know about her. That really makes me upset. I really hope that all misunderstandings will be cleared, alright? 🙂

    HAHA, english news on ELLA!! she’s so cool. So, she’s not doing the voiceover? Ella has so many fans to support her and protect her. The movie was smart for creating an internet poll, if you ask me. Ella’s so popular and has so many fans that she’s bringing tons of publicity to this movie. Furthermore, she actually reads the books so she knows what is going on. She’s not just a star paid to do publicity; she’s an avid fan of the book and movie. Perfect spokesperson.

  14. bubbleteas says:

    Glad and congrats to Ella for promoting the movies, hope to see it but can’t, final is around the corner, need to study. Glad the misunderstand is clear up and everyone is supporting this movies, no matter who’s the spokesperson is, this movies is a great one. Peace!

  15. chris says:

    it is a great to select ella as the spokeperson.I’m so proud to be her fans!

  16. cal says:

    Janet: you don’t expect the character to jump out of the book and attend the promotional events in Taiwan, do you? As far as I know, it is relatively common for Taiwanese celebrities to endorse in overseas movies. It’s a marketing strategy I guess. Don’t have to make a big deal outta it.

    Anyway I heart Ella! She’s fabulous!

  17. Anna says:

    Ella isn’t trying to be like Lyra, she always does funny poses like that, it’s one of the reasons why we love her. She doesn’t try to look pretty or cute just for the camera, and poses to make other laugh, it really shows how unfake and playful she is. I’m glad she got chosen for this promotional activity! She my one and only favorite celebrity, so if it wasn’t for her promoting Lyra, I wouldn’t even know what it is! I LOVE YOU ELLA!!!!
