"Yan's" footage video on his feelings was shown, that led LZL to cry at the scene. With rumors on "thousands of fans" Jerry Yan, Taiwan's first model Lin Zhi Lin, eventhough she had not directly talked about her feelings on Jerry, however, when she was in a local TV show the other day, and when a video footage of Jerry talking about his feelings was shown, she unexpectedly cried at the scene, causing the rumors to appear even more real than imaginary.LZL repeatedly accepted local interviews in the past few days. With regards to the program's sudden showing of the Jerry interview footage, LZL just lightly said, "For me, if I really have a boyfriend, I certainly wish that he would look after my mom." Just after these words, she immediately bursted into tears, that even the host also got teary-eyed. The host then asked her again if Jerry can pursue her. LZL said," I really dont have time for that" (Did you try to pursue him?) I pursue him? I still havent got my card number yet, too many girls like him."

Cai Yue Xun + Yu Xiao Wei = Two-person dream making team
In 2001, because of MG, Cai Yue Xun has made F4 to be popular idols, got the Golden Bell Best Director Award, started the trend of filming idol dramas, and opened the markets for TWese tv dramas in Asia. Although he had nonstop invitations at that time, his family put in all the resources to finish the drama "Friends" in 2003. Unfortunately, the ratings of "Friends" were not satisfactory although it had good responses from the critics, and his company ended up losing more than one million dollars.
In 2004, Cai Yue Xun's team started a new journey again, The Hospital. With more than 2 years of preparation, what kind of ideals do they want to bring to the audience in TW?
The 3rd Generation of Domineer
From the start of the preparation to the end of filming, it had been more than two years. The Hospital's budget had gone up from 1.5 millions per episode with the total amount of twenty something millions to 4 millions per episode with the total budget of about 80 millions. It has broken the record in the drama production history in TW.
This couple, Cai Yue Xun and Yu Xiao Wei, has obviously put in a lot of effort and money. However, they don't just want to produce high-rating and attention-seeking dramas, or to just talk about ideals. Actually, they want to find new possibilities for dramas from TW.
"Among the dramas in Asia, the first generation of domineer was Japan. The second generation is Korea. When Japan's was losing their popularity and Korea's expanding their territories, if we persist, we may have the opportunity to be the third generation of domineer," analyzed by Yu Xiao Wei, "The third generation of domineer will be TW or Mainland China."
The success of MG provided the couple the conception/ideas and determination to explore the markets for the Chinese dramas. However, due to Friends' poor ratings, this couple once lost their faith. Luckily, during Friends' autograph sessions, they noticed that they were actually supported by a lot of audiences who were excluded from the ratings. When they were told "Thank you", this gave them encouragement again. The Hospital is the project which they continue their dream and one can easily see their effort everywhere, such as the script, the traning of the actors, prop, etc...
Wish for perfection and search for high qualities
This project all started from Yue Xiao Wei's being a fan of Hou Wen Yong (the author of the novel The Hospital). As Yu Xiao Wei knew that Cai Yue Xun was interested in filming something about medicine, she encouraged him to fight for the project after knowing that CTV has bought the copyright.
Based on his and his mom's past experiences in the hospital when he was young, at first Cai Yue Xun was only moved by human's weakness during sickness from patients' point of view. Then after reading "A Medical Student's Journal" by Wang Yi Jia, he realized that "When facing sickness and dealth, everyone is so helpless", including the doctors.
From that time, Director Cai has realized that "life is full of challenges" and the hospital is exactly an unforgettable and unavoidable place where one can see another face of life. Therefore, Cai Yue Xun has determined that one day he will direct an "entertaining, but not necessarily lesson-teaching or threatening, medical drama."
The Hospital gave him the opportunity to fulfill his dream.
Before filming, his target was the US drama,"ER". Once the filming started, he then realized that the challenges in front of him were so great. They included renting the filming locations, preparing the prop, providing training courses for the actors, etc... It was common that they learned as they filmed. In the process, Japan was also very curious about this drama which shared the same name as one of its own. The visit of a team of 20 and more people sent by one Japanese tv company also gave the crew some pressure.
"I feel like being in a very painful race..." He is very sorry that "ER" high standard is not something TW dramas can reach at this time.
Nevertheless, dreaming to direct a drama like "ER" is the force behind his continuous improvement and self expectation. It's heard that his strict requirements had reached the point of being abusive to himself and others, and they had broken numerous records. For stance, the most expensive scene was the hospital lobby where the President arrived and entered the hospital, which costed over NT$500,000. "We built the scene which was 20 yrs. more advanced than the current setting in TW... 50 temporary actors were hired...Once the camera started filming, $500,000 were gone like that... Another time, for a small station, the director told the producer 'The station needs to be located on the hillside and the hilltop should also be seen', then the crew searched around TW for the right location..." Yu Xiao Wei said that the strict requirements by the director was the reason why the production fee was 4 times as planned.
Surprisingly, although The Hospital is not broadcasted yet, the broadcast copyright has been successfully sold to different countries. This proves that markets for this kind of dramas do exist. "Now the thing I want to focus on is market benefits, instead of award winning dramas, as I want to open more markets. Once the markets are developed, there are all kinds of possibilities, then we won't get stuck at one place." Cai Yue Xun expressed.
Novel was adapted to be tv drama
This time, the first 15 episodes were adapted from the novel which focus on power struggle among some characters. "But because the ending of the original novel was so hopeless" Cai Yue Xun explained, "The script writers have added another 10 episodes focusing on the things we also want to express about care among people, such as life, love between lovers, and love among family members."
Besides, changes had been made on some characters' personalities and proportion of love matters in the drama. "In the novel, although he was very skillful in his profession, Dr. Su's personality was too passive. In the drama, we changed him into "a very skillful and adorable doctor" to begin with, so the audience will be fond of him, so the audience will follow our lead to watch what is really going on with the power struggle and life cycling inside the tower." Yu Xiao Wei explained.
Su Yi Hua's personality and his view about love were the parts being argued the most in the process of script adaptation. They had spent a lot of time to discuss with the script writers. They both thought that "This character was too passive in the novel and it can't fulfill the need of a commercial tv drama." Therefore, they invited Yan Cheng Xu to play the character, much younger than the one in the novel, and the character was changed to be pure and more active. The only time he was irresolute was when he dealed with his love relationships.
In addition, the biggest selling point of most dramas, love matters, had been increased in the drama as well. In the novel, the components of the love relationships were not complete. Cai Yue Xun insisted to incorporate his ideals into the drama and hopes that the ending will provide the audience some kind of realization. "As Su Yi Hua was irresolute, he lost the female lead Guan Xin, and of course he was impacted by the lost. However, we let him learn that 'What is the most important thing in life?' and let him realize that he couldn't lose any more. If he lost again, he got nothing left. Drama is for people to make dreams and at the same time, it should also give people the power of hope; therefore, we combined the "power struggle myth" with the "love myth", and produced the TWese version of The Hospital.
In {The Hospital}, Jerry Yan Comprehends The Importance of Appreciation
Q1 : We heard that you spent a lot of time and effort preparing for the role. Mr. Hou Wen Yong also mentioned that you did a great deal of research. How did you understand and portray the character of Su Yi Hua?
A1: I recall that when I met the script-writer initially to discuss the character, Su Yi Hua, he brought out two photos. One was a little boy with a cheerful grin and the other was a white tower. He said that these represent Su Yi Hua and the White Tower so he is but an innocent little child. All of a sudden, I had a very intense feel for the character when I heard that. It was like I became Su Yi Hua during filming. I could feel how he had a simple life before he was unexpectedly pulled into the power struggle and lost the love of his life as well. In my portrayal, I have tried to transform myself into a real Su Yi Hua so that my performance can be true to life.
Q2 : Regarding your research for the performance, have you had any deep impressions or felt that any books were very helpful?
A2 : There are 2 books ~ [White Robe] and [A Surgical Doctor¡¯s Training] .
Q3 : Most of actors had plenty of medical training before the shoot, could you talk about what left a deep impression on you during the training or maybe an interesting little story?
A3 : The Director and Big Brother Hou arranged practical lessons in surgery for me. The first was a brain surgery. When I saw how someone's skull was cracked open, I was astounded. I really marvel at how incredible Medical Science is.
Q4 : Have you read Hou Wen Yong¡¯s novel? Do you feel that the character is a great different from the original?
A4 : I liked it very much when I read it a long time ago. The script basically stays true to the novel. But The TV serial stresses more on the virtue of appreciation and so it is more heartfelt. The character of Su Yi Hua has a minor adjustment in terms of age, he is younger.
Q5 : Have you seen the Japanese version of White Tower? If so, what are your afterthoughts?
A5 : I have not seen it.
Q6 : Could you talk about your relationship with the Director? After working with other Directors, in your own opinion, could you speak about the Director¡¯s standards on the show, demands on performance style and other individual qualities?
A6 : It¡¯s a luxury to work with Director Cai. Although it takes so much more time but it was all worth it. At times when I look at him, it was like I am looking into the mirror. Not that we are identical in appearance! It¡¯s just rare to find someone who has the same undaunted demands on matters. I truly appreciate this. Director Cai is sensitive to the plot, the setting and arrangements of the characters, these are all necessary qualities of a successful Director!
Q7 : You¡¯ve worked with Dai Li Ren, Wu Meng Da and many other actors, what is the most challenging or enjoyable moments? Would you like to share a few unforgettable stories?
A7 : Due to {The Hospital}, I feel so lucky to be able to work with so many experienced actors. Acting with them has inspired me like never before. Dai Li Ren plays my senior in the Medical School. We have many scenes together. I have always admired his acting and I was very excited that we are acting together. Actually before I met him, I¡¯ve always thought of him as a very professional but serious actor. It was only after working with him that I discovered he was very humorous and quite a joker at times.
As for Wu Meng Da, I have seen many of his shows before. When I personally saw his performance for the first time, I was stunned by his outstanding performance. Even though he spoke Cantonese but you won¡¯t feel that there is any language barrier. I remember a scene vividly. Big Brother Da plays a Surgical Chief who had lost his position and fell sick soon after. Su Yi Hua visited him in the hospital. In that scene, Big Brother really drew me into it and I felt I acted beyond my original expectations.
Q8 : When you were preparing for the role, would you use any character or actor as a model? Or would you follow certain aspects? Could you give an example?
A8 : Nothing special, just be natural.
Q9 : The filming of {The Hospital} has ended, do you feel that this experience has influenced you¡¯re acting career in anyway? Any future wishes to handle any kind of challenging roles or theme?
A9 : In filming this show, I feel that it has absolutely exceeded any mere physical dimension. I have seen with my own eyes many real life and death situations. There might be a patient who had just passed away and yet over here is another baby born. This makes me feel how awesome Life is and I deeply understood how health and appreciation are very important.
It is a personal break-through to play this character. I had a totally different acting experience. But up till the end, it was really painful to be Su Yi Hua! When it came to an end, I joked with the Director, ¡®I can finally be rid of Su Yi Hua!¡¯ Ha ha!
Because this character is in deep turmoil, he was suffering in the power struggle. I hope that my next character would be more light-hearted in nature. A romantic love story or a comedy will do.
Q10 : How you feel that an actor can train himself on an everyday basis?
A10 : I feel that having a keen sense of observation is very crucial to an actor. I like to observe the people and things around me in my daily life. These will help in my renditions of different characters. I prefer a performance based on real emotions and not accustomed to contrived things. If there is time, I would like to look around overseas, there might be better choices and opportunities. I think that as an actor, the most feared are to lose the sensitivity of feel and a drained void within oneself.
Q11 : As an actor, you have been in the Taiwanese TV for a few years, how do you feel about the present and future of Taiwanese TV?
A11 : Since the success of ¡®Meteor Garden¡¯, Taiwanese TV had set a record throughout the whole of Asia. Many other TV serials have also been telecast in all parts of Asia. I feel that this is a good sign and opportunity. In fact, there are many exceptional people who work behind the scenes in Taiwanese TV. If only these can come together for a collaborative effort to produce a successful show, not just for the Taiwanese audience but for others as well. This is a dream that I hope to fulfill. I am very happy that ¡®The Hospital¡¯ has attracted loads of media attention and the audience¡¯s enthusiastic concern. So I hope that everyone will like this show.
Q12 : Do you have a habit of reading normally? Does this influence your work in some ways?
A12 : Reading is a rather important pastime for me. I read during breaks in-between filming, long haul flights and before I sleep. The books I read vary widely. No limitations in terms of subjects matter. Reading has helped me a lot in work. I find that I am able to think objectively and is more clear-mined in my judgments of matters. My fans also know that I read so it feels nice when they often share good books with me.

LZL dropped a hint that she and Jerry finished playing
Is LZL and Jerry's real score already over?
Following Jay Chou and Patty Hou's rumored relationship comes to end, the other Taiwanese "Golden Boy-Jade Woman" couple Lin Zhi Ling and Jerry Yan also underwent the same rumors. But when LZL was in China for an event the other day, words slipped away from her mouth when she spoke she would no longer use the word "good friend" for Jerry, and even dropped a hint that they have no more feelings for each other, and that their relationship fell from being "good friends" before to being "unfamiliar" now. After LZL was in China the other day for the Longines Watch event, she was interviewed by the media and frankly spoke that now what everybody talks about is her love affair, but when talks reached on "Bao Long", and when she talked about how she feels for Bao Long, neither did she no longer use the word "good friend" to explain, but instead said, "It's been a very long time that nobody asks me this question anymore" ". and just what did she seem to imply? There are no more fellings for both of them. Not Using the "good friend" name anymoreAt that time she still kept smiling and spoke, but it is said before that their communication is also gradually turning weak, as both of them have already been separated for many months now, and each had been equally busy, that the more they meet others, the more they are led to break up. Thus, at this point, LZL also slowed down from work since her injury, wishing she could fully recover and at the same time concentrate on filming a TV drama. Now with just local promos, will she have time to heal her wounds? She is weak, and for this reason she frankly spoke that she will face this problem. Rumors of breaking-up for more than two months nowIn the past, she used the name "good friend" to call Jerry. But now, instead on calling them differently, she still uses the name "good friend" for her other two rumored boyfriends Qui Shi Kai and the new young sensation Wu Xin Yang, and actually turning it over away from Jerry. Its seems in both of their circles, the more they are paired, the more they become distant from each other.
actually there are still thousands more..but im a little tired..so if u want any mroe news...feel free to go to any of the above websites to check it out!
