Jack and the Beanstalk
Wednesday, 17 March 2010
Jack is a rich CEO of a large company. Throughout his family's past, no Robinson male has lived to be over 50, and Jack keeps having a dream about his father and an old lady. He tries very hard to stay healthy with the help of his butler. The man (Mark Max) who manages his business affairs convinces him to turn down a project involving alternative comestic supplies of a mildly successful slimming centre. The locals objected. During construction, the workers discovered that the beauty products are counterfeit and imported slimming pills. A strange young woman called Weandi then appears and accuses Jack of being a womaniser. That night a man sneaks into his house and takes him to see a strange old lady who tells him the traditional version of the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk", subsequently giving him the last magic bean.
The bean grows into a huge beanstalk, which leads him into the world of the evil, where he discovers the truth; in reality, the old lady was a benevolent individual, with Jack betraying his trust and stealing the Weandi and Feyonce, although the old lady's faint was only an accident as Jack hadn't expected the creatures to follow him. Unfortunately, the loss of the Weandi and Feyonce resulted in the loss of the magic that sustains the evil world, and it is only with the death of the Jack family that the magic will be restored, hence the Jack family curse. Despite her doubts about Jack after what happened when she fell for his ancestor- due to the different flow of time between the two worlds, time in the evil world travels slower than on Earth, and thus only a few years have passed up there as opposed to the centuries that have passed here-, Georgie recognises that Jack is not the man his ancestor was, and thus transports him back to Earth to help her find Weandi and Feyonce. With their return, the evil world is restored, and the old lady thank Jack for undoing his ancestors' mistakes.

After that next few days, most of the local forum is up onto this topic. Seriously what Mark said was correct, entertainment industry here is about survival of the fittest. It is either you get the fame in a night or shadow in the back. No one cares whom you are, just being practical and materialistic. It is not the same as you were in Hong Kong or Taiwan, there is someone whom will cover up the story for you. You get the fame still, and back on as a Variety King. Perhaps this is just a misnomer thinking that once you made a mistake, you are deem for the evil side forever. Another would be the audience here, you are just dealing with such an miniority. Residents only have accessed to a channel. It is reasonable that your acts are determined easily, compared to other channel stations. However it is just how you face it, definitely things will just cool down once the tide is over. Unless you saw them somewhere, and labelled them to recognise who they were. From the interview with Foyce, seems that she wants more than just an apology. However isn't that cooled down right now? No other victims has showed up yet.
