crazy over JY.
The Hospital Staff and Cast Assessments
From Yu Xiao Hui
When we looked at the
script, the Director and me of course, both thought that the leading character Dr. Su Yi Hua is none other than Jerry, and Qui Cheng Ze is Dai Li Ren but we realized that taking them would be difficult. Jerry Yan was very busy, Dai Li Ren is also a director with many projects in line, script contents, time adjustents and so on. We spent nearly a year negotiating. But we remained persistent all along, and believed that these two should be the leads. We waited for a very long time they said OK and accepted, resolving such earlier pressures. Talking about Jerry, aside from being young, he is the type which no other
artist hasnt , producing multitude of special qualities. In fact, he has the right talent. When Director Cai asked him to act sentimentally and produce special subtle changes in emotions and expressions, he certainly acted it out exactly the way the director wanted him to project. In these scenes, he comes out on his own as an
actor with the greatest efforts.
From Janine Zhang Before shooting this scene, I always thought that Jerry will leave me. In fact, in working together afterwards, I really didnt know what to feel. In the set, he always talked to everyone, made jokes, and has a very special side. As an actor, he handle his emotions well to show very rich projections, receiving and letting out every kind of emotions. His astonishing concentration led me the need to learn, and study eventhough I have many rivals in the drama, but according to the scenes, when I was on my own, he still wanted to support me, considering the presence of my rivals.
From Saya:
She and Jerry filmed very long scenes, and with their ages so close, thus, working together is very easy. For his own performance, he had very high expectations, Even if the director says OK, he would still ask for another take, and definitely not compromising. Jason was born in England and came to Taiwan not too long ago. His Chinese is not good as he played the role of an intern named Hao Xiao Gang in The Hospital. He said:Actually, he and Jerry has good relationship even in private. they played basketball together, and this is the first time they appeared together in the same scene in the drama. When he felt upset because his own Chiinese speaking is not very well, Jerry said "if you will just understand your own role, then you would know how to act it." and that Jerry encouraged him so much. When Jerry's role as Su Yi Hua became alone, he was isolated in the hospital, without any help. I also didnt help him but in my heart , I was in pain for not helping him. I always thought of how could I help him. This is in the drama (laughs) White Tower Update: The WT team is very smart and they thought of the problem ahead of time, that's why they have released the WT trailer with different versions, the version for Mainland China and the version for TW. In the version for TW, "The President" is used, but in the version for Mainland China, "The Highest Official" is used. There is no problem from Mainland China and the officials are happy with the term "The Highest Official." Now the controversy started on a public forum (PTT) in TW. What happened was that some "general audiences" from TW read the storyline for Mainland China in The Hospital's official site in which "The Highest Official" was used, so a small group criticized the WT team of not using the term "The President" in order to please the Mainland China. Well, the WT PR team responded to it immediately. They will re-set "The Hospital's" official site to have both simplified and traditional versions for audiences from both places. Like WT's staff indicates, they have been careful about this and during filming, whenever the term "The President" was used, they always filmed a second version with the term "The Highest Official", which most dramas won't consider this much. Most importantly, this drama is not about politics, and it is about what happens in the hospital.After some fans who have read the related thread on PTT, they commented that someone intentionally raised this topic. That's good. As long as people are talking, more people will get curious about WT, that's good promotion. Thanks to those people!

Have watched a presscon clip of Jerry during his Oral B event in Shanghai, there was a couple of tv interviews. in 1 of it, Jerry was asked by the host abt his mum & his love life. the host asked whether Jerry's mum ever pressure him to get married, Jerry answered no as his mum prefers him to concentrate on his career 1st. the host also asked whether Jerry's mum ever query him abt the news of him & Lin Chi Ling, Jerry answered yes, his mum does read the news & knows abt their rumours. Jerry also said that his mum dont like Jerry to be a ladies man as Jerry's deceased father was very popular with the ladies. Jerry also said that he dont have the time to have a gf as he wish to concentrate on his work & career.During the interview (Star Weekly Interview), Jerry was also asked to describe F3. Jerry said Vic is a real life Prince Charming, Vanness is extrovert & mix well with all kinds of ppl while Ken is a caring man. When asked abt newspaper articles that say the 4 of them dont get along, Jerry said the 4 of them keep in contact with each other & that Vanness & Vic visited him when he was filming WT/The Hospital.During the Star Weekly Interview, Jerry also said that his r'ship with his mum is like older brother/younger sister. And that his mum is still very thrifty, there was a time he bought his mum for Chinese New Year shopping & end up arguing as his mum said that the clothes are too expensive (according to Jerry, its not expensive at all, abt NT$500 - 600).Jerry also mentioned that it doesnt bother him now if there are ppl who dislike him, unlike in the past when it used to matter very much to him. Also that he & Director Chai are very similar in nature, that is, when they are doing something, they will give their utmost & that they both set very high stds on themselves.Ju Ta's 2 Ladies, Crazy in Love with Jerry YanThe drama that created lots of dicussions during fliming has finally ended it's fliming. Yesterday, The Hospital had it's complete fliming ceremony at Taipei Dong Qu, whole schedule was secret to avoid media. Newspaper reporters managed to get Zhang Diao Qiao, Xu An An. Both have admitted falling in love with Jerry Yan and would drop tears the moment they see him.The Hospital's main male lead, Jerry Yan was absent because he was overseas promoting F4's concert. As the 2 female leads talked about him, their eyes started turning red. Zhang Diao Yu said, "The scene where i was going to separate from Jerry, i was actually afraid i might not be able to be engross in the role. However, the moment i stood beside him, my tears came naturally, as if i would never see him again in this lifetime."Xu An An said, "The more i look at Jerry, the more i feel that i'm crazy about him. On the scene of the marriage, the moment i wore the wedding gown, i felt like crying, it's just like marrying him." As Xu An An talked about it, her eyes started turning red. She expressed that for The Hospital, she acted with everything, "The first time i cried till i couldn't stop and emotions was down even outside the show."The outside world gossiped that Jerry's acting skills, under the shocking teachings, he made a great improvement in his acting but still couldn't match up to the big ones in the show. A senior actor in the show help shouted misunderstood for him, "No one has the right to critise him, his acting skills are okay. Look at Meteor Garden till now, which idol drama actor can be like him ?" Gan De Men even said, Jerry's talent didn't need critism from the outside world, once they see the show, they'll know his hard work.
