As this reporter noticed that both of them were not in TW during New Year, he/she just assumed and created a story that Jerry stayed with Ms. Lin in LA/Hollywood for 7 days (i.e., around Dec. 30 to Jan. 7) during New Year and they have returned to TW on January 7. However, this story is quite impossible, as according to other news articles published before this, Ms. Lin flied to Goungzhou on Jan. 1 and portrayed as model for an artist there the next day for the whole day, and then she filmed the Olay commercial in TW on Jan. 6. So far, only two pieces of information have been posted to spot Jerry in LA, one is that Jerry was spotted in Santa Barbara with one male and one female friends on Dec. 28. Then he was spotted to see a movie with a male companion on Dec. 31.Boyband F4 set to charm Japanese, Korean touristsPROMOTIONAL TV SERIES:The project is sponsored by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau and will feature online participation in the selection of shooting locations By Shelley Shan STAFF REPORTER Wednesday, Jan 10, 2007, Page 2F4, a popular Taiwanese boyband, have captured the hearts of young women around Asia with their boyish charm, and now Taiwan's tourism bureau is hoping to cash in on the band's popularity to promote the nation's tourist industry.Taiwan Tourism Bureau Director-General Janice Lai confirmed yesterday that the group would be recruited to play in a television series called Wish to See You in Taiwan.The project is sponsored solely by the bureau, she added.Lai said that the series will include 25 episodes, with a majority of scenes filmed at selected tourist attractions around the country.It is going to be a "touching romantic story," Lai said."We will place the information on our Web site [www.taiwan. net.tw] and ask for opinions about where the filming should take place," she said.The series will target tourists from Japan and Korea, Lai said.It is scheduled to be broadcast in both countries in November.Viewers in Taiwan, however, will not be able see it.Based on the contract between the bureau and the production firm, the F4 team will meet with their fans at promotional events organized by the bureau.The bureau owns the copyright for the series and will make a 30-second TV commerical from program content for use in Taiwan and elsewhere.Lai said she is confident that F4 will draw the attention of female tourists from both Japan and Korea.She said one time she was invited to be the guest of honor at an event attended by Vanness Wu , one of the band members, and his fans. Lai was asked to draw lots to pick fans to come onto the stage."When those lucky few got to meet Wu personally, they were so excited that they began to cry," Lai recalled.Overall, the project will cost the bureau NT$80 million (US$2.5million) , which will cover the production and the budget to buy air time in both Japan and Korea.Lai said many people may think NT$80 million is a huge sum. They may also ask why Taiwan cannot have documentaries broadcast on the Discovery or National Geographic channels, as Malaysia and other countries have done in the past."Air time in Japan and Korea is really expensive," Lai said. "And the tourism bureau in Malaysia has an annual budget of NT$7 billion, which is seven times more than we have."Earlier this week, media reported that Jerry Yen, the most popular member of F4, might not be able to act in the series because of a schedule conflict.Chai Chi-ping, the producer of the series, said in an interview in the United Daily News that Yen has already promised to participate.The boyband would not breach the terms of the contract, she said. Published on Taipei TimesF4 to make an idol drama to sell Taiwan Tourism Bureau: People will recommend the sceneries Japan and Korea are Taiwan's major sources of tourist travelers. This year, the Ministry of Communications' Tourism Bureau has especially invited F4 to film a 25-episode love drama that would sell Taiwan's tourist attractions, and now welcomes the people's suggestions for the filming sceneries. The Tourism Bureau used public bidding to choose its PR firms, and to entrust the filming of the idol drama that would sell Taiwan. The leads F4 who are also all-famous and we-known in Japan and Korea, is scheduled to finish the drama before the end of November, and should be shown in Japanese and Korean major TV networks. Tourism Bureau Director-General Lai Se Zhen said the contract of the Tourism Bureau and the PR firm stipulated that the plot must be 10-20 % and should comprise Taiwan's scenic spots, food and drinks destinations, etc. F4 will also hold fan meetings in Taiwan, Japan and Korea, as well as conduct press conferences, coordinate with the premier showing of the idol drama, and also release related merchandises. The Tourism Bureau would soon launch in its website a public inquiry for the suggested scenic attractions, and invites the people to recommend the best filming locations. Lai Se Zhen said that the idol drama's main purpose is to attract more young Japanese and Korean travelers to visit Taiwan. As a lot of Japanese tourists regard Taiwan with its Shinkasen (speed train), a new selling point would also attract Japanese tourists this year.

According to plan, the Tourist Bureau provides NT$80 millions of fund, and the idol drama "Wish To See You In TW" is supposed to start filming in June this year. Since the beginning of this project, Yan Cheng Xu had been targeted as the main lead. Although there were rumors of his having scheduling problems, it seemed that the problems can be resolved sooner or later. However, when the reporter checked with Fenny yesterday, she clearly stated, "Yan Cheng Xu won't play in this idol drama. He has already had other plans." AC indicates that even missing one member in the drama won't break the contract. As Jerry turned down the role, Zaizai will be the main lead now. AC mentioned, "Zaizai's market price/value does not lose to Yan Cheng Xu's." Other than the idol drama, the endorsement project also includes concert tours, domestic and international press conferences, and commercials. Fenny said that other parts of the projects are still under discussion. According to the Tourist Bureau, there should be one press conference in TW in the first half of this year to announce F4's being the TW Tourism Ambassadors. Then there should be a concert/concerts in TW to attract more than 10,000 fans to visit TW and ...Regarding F4's endorsement fee, it is NT$30 millions. As Jerry won't participate in the drama, his endorsement fee will be changedIf not all 4 members are required to participate in the drama and missing one won't break the contract, then how come AC keeps blaming Jerry for not accepting the role? :2. Didn't Xiao Zhi always say that F4 should have equal parts and talent fee in the drama and market? Now it was written that initially Jerry was the main lead, and then now Zaizai is the main lead after Jerry rejected the role, then what happen to Vanness and Ken? Did AC try/intend to prepare a script which has suitable roles for all 4 members at all? Or did she prepare a script to have one main lead in mind the whole time? A few days ago, Fenny said that Jerry had not received the script, and he had not decided to accept the role or not. Today, the storyline of the Tourist Bureau idol drama has come out, and Fenny said that Jerry decided not to participate in the idol drama. The offiical reason is that Jerry has other working plans, but ... , haha... I really admire that Jerry has the guts to insist on what he thinks is right.The storyline, are you ready? A girl loses her memory, so her boyfriend brings her to different tourist sites in TW and hopes to help her regain her memory. Sound familiar? Does MG2 ring a bell? No? How about the Korean drama Winter Sonata? I can't believe that AC used several months to come up with a story like this. Fenny said that although Jerry won't participate in the idol drama, other endorsement activities are still under discussion. I am quite happy with the outcome, as now Zai is the main lead, and hope that Jerry won't be attacked as much. Whenever Jerry is available, he can still participate in the concert(s) and commercials, and endorse TW for the Tourist Bureau.Concert talent feesF4 NT$16.64 millions- Had 2 rounds of concerts already. When they had 4 nights of "F4 Forever4 Concerts" in HK in March 2006, all tickets were sold out.183 Club NT$16.64 millions - The talent fee requested is too high and no production company has shown any interest yetMayday NT$8.32 millions - Tickets for their May 05 concerts were sold out. May have more concerts this coming MayFahrenheitNT$5 millions - The talent fee requested is reasonable for newcomer, so quite a no. of production companies are interested. It is still under discussion5566 NT$4.16 millions - They don't have a lot of fans in HK, so no company has shown any interest yet.Is F4's endorsement blocked by Jerry Yan?Rumors on Taiwan's travel tour project for F4 "reunion" endorsement is on the rocks as the Tourism Bureau finds the script hard to produce and Jerry's schedule is always unavailable. However, Angie Cai guaranteed yesterday that that they would overcome all difficulties to let F4 act all together.F4-endorsed 2007 Taiwan travel tour project is a showbiz major event which includes plans for commercials, an idol drama and concert tours. However, there are rumors that the script is not yet finished plus the fact that F4's schedules can't be synchronized and Jerry's commitment to join is still not confirmed. A Tourism Bureau staff said that the proposals still had no definite confirmation if F4 would all act. The Bureau is quite concerned on the script's contents. If F4 will all act simultaneously, the script must be suitable and must produce the needed results on best promoting Taiwan. In addition, it must also be televised before the year end. If not, the contract would be off.But since November last year until yesterday, details for the project have not yet been finalized, including the script . They only said that F4 are all abroad, and difficult to have a common time together.Angie Chai then said that they had already submitted 3 scripts, and will announce the final talks with the Tourism Bureau by mid-January, as well as discuss over with all F4 members. She said that the script is still pending, so all their roles are still too early to talk about. Thus, rumors on "not joining" should not be taken as final.The project has a budget of 85 million but since the trending doesn't seem to reach the goal, sponsors are now afraid they might gamble some big money. Angie Chai said that she talked to Jerry over the phone and he already promised he would join. She said that Jerry had no clear plans for his projects this year so he will do his best to cooperate. If the script is unsuitable, they can use other forms even just a guest performance. Jerry would also help in lifting it up. Chai added that uniting F4 is really very hard, and just writing the script took 3 months already. She estimated that after the Chinese New Year they can already select some suitable story details.Chai also expressed that for this project, there would work each month that can extend up to one year to produce the best quality. On rumors that Jerry won't join, she reasoned out that since F4 are all giant stars now, attention is put to them, but she is rather confident that after she meets with F4, everything would change brightly.Meanwhile, Jerry's assistant Fenny said that Jerry already more or less understood the project plans. But since he hasn't received the copy of the script yet, he still can't confirm and decide if he would join. She said, "According to our understanding, it's not only Jerry, other people are also discussing to them." Fenny revealed that Jerry is out of the country for a project, making preparations for his photobook. An internet fan talked on how she saw Jerry in Los Angeles and a male staff watching "Man Cheng Jin Wears the Golden Armor". After she recognized him, Jerry just shyly greeted the fan "Happy New YearChai also expressed that for this endorsement, there would be work for each month ... (kkla: she referred to the drama, commercials, tv programs, concert tours, meet sessions, etc...)"www.nbbbs.com [Z1])ZTj1K8Lb-\Y p4Mhorrible, thats taking way too much of Jerry's time. q@D.kq@&{"3. After hearing the excuses, Tourist Bureau indicates that the contract/agreement didn't specify that all 4 members have to participate, so the excuses of Yan Cheng Xu this or that can't stand. "hehehe, serves AC right for coming out with such ridiculous excuse as Jerry being sick, thereby cant proceed. lets hope this means that its also not compulsory for all 4 to be present for all the tv programs, meet sessions, interviews, etc, etc. at least Jerry can opt out of certain activities if he has other work on hand. "4. Fenny clearly indicates that Jerry has not received the script. Whether he will accept the role is depending on the script. Being tired of being used as the excuse for the delay of her plans and AC's faults, Jerry states that he is willing to participate and he will try his best to cooperate. If he approves the script, he will accept the role. Even if he doesn't approve the script, he will participate by guest appearance. Therefore, it shuts AC's mouth for accusing him of not willing to participate and being the main problem of the project's delay"good, Jerry is fighting back. that woman is really the limits.reiterate my stand again, i hope this project goes down the drain & AC gets a hefty fine for breach of contract. the nerve of that woman, promising this & that & not bothering even to discuss with Jerry 1st. she still thinks Jerry is under her mgt..F4 remuneration was as much as $4,000,000 Remuneration was as much as HK$4,000,000 183 Club solo concert abort, replaced by Denise HoThe popularity for 183 Club gradually decreases within this half year. They even did not have much opportunity to take exposures. During a promotion trip last year, Taiwanese Band 183 Club arrogantly criticized that F4 had gone out of date. They also indicated that they would have a Hong Kong concert in January this year. Others suspect that they over-priced for their remuneration by demanding the same price as F4 at $4 million each show. However, 183 Club do not have other commercial sponsors. In addition to their diminished popularity, East Asia (Entertainment agency) also withdrew from this project and gave up the time slot at Coliseum to Denise Ho and Tsai Qin.183 Club rode on the publicity of a Taiwan drama “The Prince who turns into a fog”. Last year during their promotion trip, they openly boast that they are even more popular than F4. Their manager also criticized that F4 was “Out” (out of date). Besides, they expressed that they will have a solo concert in Hong Kong this January and the number of shows would be more than F4’s. Based on our understanding, the organizer East Asia has booked a 7-day period from January 18th to 24th for this project. Unfortunately 183 Club added more terms to this project. First of all is in relation to their remuneration, for which they over-priced at $4 million each night, as much as F4.Although F4 had the same high price at $4,000,000 each night, they have multiple commercial sponsors who guarantee on ticket sales. Therefore, all the tickets for the four shows “Forever 4 2006” held last March sold quickly. It was a full house every night.On the contrary, 183 club rely on dramas to keep their publicity. Their later production “The Magician of Love” lead by Ming Dao did not draw too much attention and resulted graduate drop on popularity. East Asia was concerned about ticket sales because they did not have any commercial sponsors as a back up. The organizer tried to negotiate with 183 Club for a reduction on remuneration but refused by their agency. Lastly, East Asia decided to hold back on this concert.East Asia reallocated the original time slot to Denise Ho and Tsai Qing to hold their solo concerts on Jan 19-20 and Jan 1st, 24th respectively.Our reporter contacted 183 Club’s manager Sun De Rong for clarification. Sun De Rong denied on over-pricing. He complained that Far East paid too low at NT $600,000 (approximately HK$1.5 million) which included peripheral expenses. Sun De Rong further commented, “I only protect my artists for their rights and not to be demean. If we accept this arrangement, it will be indifferent of taking it as a charity show.Jerry Happiness Charm1. For the Japanese, these charms protect the body for safety.
