In May, 80 fans streamed into a live music venue on the outskirts of Beijing to see their idol Jane Zhang. The small room was packed, and the 27-year-old singer made two wardrobe changes and sang 15 songs. The recording of that session, Listen to Jane Z Live, has now been released.

Interesting that Painted Skin 2 didn't get a great review on "TimeOutHK", but it seems to be doing well at the box office.
Thanks for the update on Jane Zhang. I thought it was odd that it's the same song for Paint Skin 2, only changed the melody a bit.
Some other reviews have been more positive. Or maybe it's the lure of Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei 'naked'. :D
