Sanli's New Drama Selling List Secretly Sell Yan Cheng XuSu Li Wei Denied Working on Cupid Together
After Yan Cheng Xu finished filming The Hospital, some overseas media buyers have received Sanli's new drama selling list for the second half of 2007, and it clearly states that Yan Cheng Xu will film Sanli's idol drama "Cupid". Yesterday, Sanli's executive Su Li Wei denied having contact with Yan Cheng Xu. So is it that Sanli tries to sell the drama before finalizing the discussion, is it not the time to announce the details yet so both sides try to keep it secret, or is it something else?Towards the end of last year, after Yan Cheng Xu sent love to Mongolia and returned to TW, there was rumor that Su Li Wei intended to invite Yan Cheng Xu for filming idol drama that they chatted on the phone happily and reached the common agreement to work together. However, Su Li Wei denied this, strictly stated, "Have never reached him". Yesterday, Jiang Yi Peng, who was still Yan Cheng Xu's agent consultant then and now Hai Die's promotion head, also said, "When met with vice CEO Su at that time, what we talked about was the overall cooperation with Hai Die on music projects. Vice CEO Su only asked me to transfer her wish to work with Jerry, but regarding whether they had contact later, then I don't know." Yan Cheng Xu, who is TW's No. 1 idol, and his name is a "Golden brand" in overseas markets. The Hospital's overseas copyright was sold for close to hundred of millions, and his charm has swept all before one. Overseas media buyers indicates, from this Sanli's new drama selling list, 3 idol dramas are sold in a package. They include My Lucky Star, Ying Ye San Jia Yi, and Cupid. Among them, it states the cast of Cupid "basically it is confirmed that it will be played by Yan Cheng Xu", and a Korean actress is planned to be the female lead. Sanli's producer Wang Li Ming who is responsible for Cupid indicates, "According to my knowledge, Yan Cheng Xu was not contacted. Also, as the script writer(s) needs to take care of Ying Ye San Jia Yi first, so this drama is no hold now."Yan Cheng Xu's personal assistant, Xiao Dai, indicates that he has no comments as he is not responsible for negotiating with media/for projects. Agent consultant Billy, who just completed his work for the period of the Tourism Bureau project, indicates that he doesn't know the situation as the contact between Yan and Sanli happened before him in the office. Mao Liang, the staff of the newly established Dreamdrama by Yan Cheng Xu, replied yesterday, "Right now, Jerry has quite a number of scripts in consideration, and he won't reject any possibilities of working with any broadcasting or movie companies." But still hasn't stated whether Yan Cheng Xu will participate in Cupid or not.
A case study of an obsessive Jerry Yan fan
I. CASE HISTORY 1. Description of the present problem MANILA, Philippines -- Patient Ruth L. Navarra has contracted a severe case of addiction to a gorgeous member of the male specimen, Jerry Yan. He is one-fourth of the phenomenal Taiwanese group known as F4. At the height of their popularity, this group had the power to make girls swoon by just blinking their eyes.Ruth admits her adulation of the group has gone beyond what is acceptably healthy. Not only did she make it a point to go to all their overpriced concerts, she also collected all merchandise she could lay her greedy hands on. She says a balikbayan box full of F4 plates, tumblers, CDs, notebooks, magazines, stickers and bubble gums still sits in her room.She says four years ago, you wouldn't know the paint of her bedroom as she covered every inch of the wall with posters of the Flower 4. She watched "Meteor Garden," the telenovela that made F4, over and over again until her eyes hurt. After watching the show, she would read a Web synopsis of the episode she just watched. She even made her own shrine, err, website of the group.She says she made enemies with some of her oldest friends just because they told her the foursome all looked like fools.There was a time when she grew so tired of singing songs she could not understand (apparently she felt researching the translation on the Internet was not enough) that she got herself a tutor and took Mandarin classes.Once she had the opportunity to meet Jerry in person. She couldn't help herself and professed eternal love for the poor man. She promised herself she would walk down the aisle holding his hands.But after "Meteor Garden," the group seemed to disappear into oblivion. After the wave of F4 madness, nothing has been heard about them since.Ruth saw them recently being interviewed in a TV show. She noted with sadness that they were still saying the same things. To her, it felt that their answers had entered a time warp and there was nothing new to pounce on.She admits her heart fluttered and she almost died of asphyxiation when Jerry smiled while answering one of the questions. He still has that effect on her. Only, Jerry does not do that now as often as he did four years ago.She says she's recovering from the addiction, though there are still times when she stumbles and finds herself staring with longing at the lone Jerry Yan poster in her room.2. DiagnosisClearly, this is a case of serious obsession. Jerry Yan is a very lucky man because he lives in a country away from where she lives and is constantly surrounded by overprotective bodyguards. It gives you shivers to think what could happen if he had none of that.II. InterventionFor her full recovery, I recommend that she take down that single poster fromher wall and cover the box of merchandise with masking tape so she would not find herself sifting through them in the dead of night.

Mike He will replace Jerry Yan as a new member of F4 and will participate in idol drama "果實的眼淚"? TVBS said, "Is that possible? Mike is in some way the "first brother" (leading figure) of our company." Chai Zhi Ping laughed regarding the F4 rumor, "Even if I were to replacement a member, I would choose Kingone Wang to replace him!"After Jerry decided not to partipate in "果實的眼淚", rumors reported that Chai Zhi Ping planned on having Mike fill the position and turn Zai Zai in to the leader of F4. Mike's management company TVBS said after the rumors were revealed, "Mike is our company's most important leader. There were plans for him to develop in Japan and Korea. After filming Exchange Love, many requests for movies, dramas, and advertisements came in. Many of them came from overseas, so we had to politely decline Ms. Chai's offer."After talking with his company, Mike obtained a one-month vacation. He will be leaving for Japan in May to experience the lifestyle there. He said, "After learning Japanese for so long, I want to go try the language out. I want to be able to ride the taxi by myself and stroll through the supermarkets."During the promotions of Exchange Love, Mike was lined up with Rainie Yang and Kingone Wang. Because Mike is regarded as the leading figure, rumors had it that TVBS felt that it overshadowed the fact that Mike is the male lead.Chai Zhi Ping said puzzled, "Is this the new rumor? I don't believe that Mike would complain about that. His adaptability is always very good." She admitted that she did try to have Mike fill the position for drama "果實的眼淚", but his schedule did not cooperate during that time. Regarding the Exchange Love promotion problem, Pan Wei Ling, the company spokesperson expressed, "Exchange Love is originally advertised as the new drama with the original cast from Devil Beside You. The leads are two male and one female!"

Newspaper summary
Lian He Bao
1. Over 5000 fans from Japan , Korea , Singapore , Malaysia , and HK have brought over 1 billion of tourism income to TW. As there were too many people, a fan fainted at the site due to too much excitement.
2. When Yan Cheng Xu introduced Dan Shui, he exposed that he dated his ex-girlfriend in Dan Shui. Yan Cheng Xu held ZZ's hand on the side and pretended him as his ex-girlfriend. At the same time, ZZ played shy and put his head on Yan Cheng Xu's shoulder, and even pretended to kiss Yan Cheng Xu.
------------ --------- --------- --------- ---------
1. However, for the opening number to show their language abilities, it seemed like their performance was not that good, like being nervous. Yan Cheng Xu indicates that he couldn't hear the sound from the ear piece that he didn't realize the host's question until after Vanness reminded him. When the 4 sang the first song First Time, it also had an embarrassing moment when Vanness' voice was lost from the microphone.
2. The Tourist Bureau indicates that F4's endorsement includes the 2nd meet session in October, 2 times of overseas promotion, and the idol drama. The commercial by the 4 members will be broadcasted in May. The fee for broadcasting the commercial in Korea will reach NT$25 millions. Also, the idol drama produced by Chai Zhi Ping is expected to be broacasted in Japan and Korea by the end of this year. So when looking at the time schedule, that idol drama should start filming immediately.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --
1. In order to be afraid of not satisfying fans, each member of F4 had individual function with fans. Yan Cheng Xu had close contact with fans in KTV, and even allowed fans to touch his chest...
2. Yan Cheng Xu, whose funfests were opened to the media, was obviously more relaxed. In last night's function, he even invited his friend at school to be the host, playing silly. For allowing fans to touch his upper body, Yan Cheng Xu participated in planning personally. He said when interacting with fans, there's no limits. It was really exciting when he allowed fans to touch him here and there after their eyes were covered. For this round, Yan Cheng Xu should win the others. 3. Regarding touching, the reporter also noticed that ZZ pinched Yan Cheng Xu's butt at the meet session. When asked afterward, he laughed, "Yeah! Jerry's fans must envy me very much. I have even smelled his scent for numerous times!" Wu Jian Hao on the side even said, "Actually F4 like to touch each other off camera."
4. The organizer tried to maintain the balance, so even the seat placement was arranged in random. Regarding popularity, when having functions in Japan in the past, the most popular was almost Yan Cheng Xu all the time, and ZZ was the 2nd, but yesterday, their popularity was the same. On the other hand, Wu Jian Hao has successfully developed the Korean market that he was supported by a big group of Korean fans. In addition, as he showed his chest muscles, his performance on stage was quite eye-catching.
China Times
The meet session started at 2pm. Since early morning, Japanese and Korean fans had been waiting in front of the venue. The event was delayed for 15 minutes. Yan Cheng Xu was the first one to come out. The sakura ladies and housewives on the floor started to create a storm and their screaming was so powerful that almost like ripping off the roof. Looking inside the venue, with people packed on the floor, Yan Cheng Xu's popularity was the highest, and his fans accounted for almost majority of the audience. After they finished singing First Time, the host Tao Jing Ying tested F4's Japanese and Korean skills. Zhu, Wu, and ZZ all passed, when it was Yan Cheng Xu's turn, he got nervous easily, and had the situation again.
Yan Cheng Xu had finally become relaxed. In last night's funfest, he treated his fans as friends. He didn't only ask his fans to call him 'good friend', he even asked his schoolmate at school to be the host. As there were too many fans, he needed to divide the function into 3 funfests.
ET Today
Yan Cheng Xu indicates that it is a pity that he can't play in this idol drama, but it was discussed before, and there will be chances to work together again in the future. Yan Cheng Xu confirmed not to play in the idol drama. As he is the most popular in Asia among the four, it seems like his fans will be disappointed for a long time.
Here is the update of Maricel (JYP-taiwan based) regarding the Star Jerry Funfest held yesterday evening.
The Funfest was held in Asia Mall (Cash Box) there were already lots of SJ members in the venue, Jerry had a hard time entering the venue, thanks to his security/body guards, six big men! They also served as human barricade to Jerry. Maricel, Cherry & niece, Yam were able to enter the venue. They really pleaded to the Star Jerry Staff to let them in just to see Jerry!
They were standing right in front of Jerry just behind the human barricade. The game started, this not according to the games played as we had a hard time recalling the events, coz what's in her mind at that moment was the picture of Jerry, how happy Jerry was and always shows his dimples when smiling!!!
These are the games played it's like the "bato-bato pik" (sorry ladies don't know how to say that in english! he he he) and the other game was making the contestant blindfolded. For the blindedfolded game it was an elderly who won.
Kno what, the emcee chose young sj member in that game, then Jerry noticed that all the contestants were all young, Jerry asked the emcee to get from the other side elderly sj members, and Jerry made the elderly members won!
See how loving JY to elders, no wonder why all moms and elder women love him so much! Sisters dont ask me what's the third game coz maricel can't recall anymore! Waaaah!
Before Jerry came out, the emcee said that the F3 were there also, you can just imagine the screaming in the venue when he announce it! Jerry came first, his three friends imitating the F3 came out also and made the fans laugh!
So after the game, it's bye-bye time once again and all SJ fans left the venue all smile. Again this is an event seing Jerry upclose and they say that's was another night to remember! Waaaah, ingit kami!
Thanks maricel and again, we're all happy for you to have witnessed another Jerry & F3 event, particularly the Star Jerry Funfest! Until next time.
Whew! So sisters, next time will join them na ha!
