Jerry Yan to come to Shanghai this summer to join the TV "free fight"

DO NOT FORWARD/REPOST ELSWHERE WITHOUT EXPLICIT PERMISSION
After an initial glance at this year's Shanghai TV Festival Awards, the Taiwanese version of "The Hospital" will finally be seen by local viewers. The other day, reporters learned from the Shanghai Media Group Film Center that exclusive rights had already been bought by Oriental TV channel for its TV broadcast. Although the airing hasn't been scheduled yet, it will definitely be shown this summer. At present, Oriental TV is patiently contacting male lead Jerry Yan to come to Shanghai for the TV promo.
Re-dubbing and Editing
The success of the Japanese version of "The Hospital" inspired Taiwan, China and Korean TV film makers to copy it. Because " Meteor Garden" director Cai Yue Xun also took charge of the 40-episode Taiwanese version of "The Hospital", shooting period lasted for 8 months, which can be regarded as the typical "slow worker with fine workmanship". Despite the receptive controversy issues on Jerry's acting skills, The Hospital, however, still got very favorable ratings when it it was first shown in Taiwan.
Regarding some sensitive scenes in the serial, the SMG spokesman said that the Oriental TV version had already re-dubbed and edited the changes, and would have no more issues on the entire contents.
Almost ten times the price just to grab the sole TV rights
According to an SMG staff who revealed, it's because of Jerry's high popularity that drama had been the target of several Cable TV channels. Normally, the price for any HK and Taiwan serials is only almost $10,000 per episode. However, because several TV stations had been fighting over for the local rights of "The Hospital," Oriental TV had paid ten times the normal recommended price just to acquire its exclusive rights, and hopes it can earn back its investment through supporting advertisements, when it is officially shown.
Exclusive airing to spark summer TV viewing once again
Summer is the golden battlefield of any TV network to seize ratings. with cable TVs not only coming up with various talent shows, but also struggles down for the sole airing of TV dramas. Besides Oriental TV to be airing the Taiwanese version of "The Hospital,", outside, Hunan's local TV serial will also be shown, as well as Anhui's acquired TV rights of serials from HK, Taiwan and Korea.
Buying expensive TV rights would make a lot of production brands
Can costs be regained in buying expensive those exclusive TV rights? For the producers and the TV stations, making money is not the main purpose. Buying exclusive TV rights will increase the TV stations' influence and the producer firms' branded items to manufacture.
However, the SMG staff also revealed to reporters that the purpose of the expensive buying of 'The Hospital" is that they wanted to tell everyone that the Oriental TV can also join the race for exclusive TV rights, to provide its viewers with the best TV serials. However, for the viewers, whether it is exclusive or not, the most important is still the good quality of the serial.

Another comparison article, this time between Jerry & Yang from Xing Guang Bang (the singing contest) again. This XGB is very popular in Taiwan & Yang is the most popular one. Already there have been earlier comparisons between Jerry & Yang's meteoric rise to fame. Now it seems XGB have released an album for the XGB boys & its selling extremely well. So it has been decided the XGB boys be split into 2 groups for promo: 1 group in Taipei & the 2nd group in Tainan (southern Taiwan). & Yang was assigned to Tainan & its suspected that as he's the most popular one in XGB, the record company arranged as such so that Yang can heat up the Tainan market which is relatively more quiet compared to the capital, Taipei. So the news article linked this to F4's 2nd album promo in 2003 where F4 were split into 2 groups, with Jerry the most popular amongst F4 going to Tainan with Vanness while Vic Zhou & Ken doing promo in Taipei.
*************...After finishing their 8-hour marathon autograph-signing session last week, Xing Guang Bang group finalists divided into 3 for their album promo,with no specific production programs prepared, just relied on their charms to attract album sales. The most popular Yang Zong Wei and his group "pumped out" the southern part, held 3 autograph signing sessions, where 2190 fans came. Zhou Ding Wei's group tackled the central part and held 3 sessions for 2,070 fans, while Lin You Jia's group got the northern part but only took 2 sessions for 1,550 fans. Today at 4 pm, the 10 Xing Guang Bang finalists will reunite again for their autograph signing at the CKS park in Chungli City, to recreate their Taipei wave.
Actually, Xing Guang Bang is not the first one in Taiwan who divided their group for their autograph signing sessions. In January 2003, idol group F4 held their "F4 north-to-south satellite link concert autograph signing session". At that time, they divided into 2 groups to cover Taiwan (south) and Taipei (north) The group's most famous Jerry Yan was assigned in Tainan, who then caused him many "custody event injuries(?)" from endless hand shaking of Jerry Yan fans.

Rich Matrons' Most-Wanted-To-Have Male Stars for 2007
Source: tom.com
July 4, 2007
summarized by Jerry's Kingdom
JK NOTE: LISTING IS ACCORDING TO RANK AND ONLY THE JERRY YAN PART IS DETAILED HERE.
1. Wu Zun
2. Jerry Yan
Since F4 is the Chinese version of an ideal handsome man, rich matrons had never ceased the covet and passionate desire for their good looks. Otherwise, the 2006 F4 Hongkong concert would have not been like that hot in box office. Among the achievements of Lao Da Jerry Yan, his natural appearance is of course no discrepancy. There is his model stature, with a smart and clear 5 senses, and when he starts to smile, his partly hidden dimples then seemed all-appearing, while his sunny glitter can certainly sweep off the young and old rich matrons ' depressions. In addition, his modest personality seeks perfection, and makes things he always loves. This type of special strength is the most desirable to ladies. Moreover, the most essential is that he has no known girlfriend, even if there are fried news on Lin Zhi Ling. His handsome male side however, doesn't always appear. As a result, the rich matrons' chances of bargaining are really tremendous.

According to grapevine talks, GMA 7 had seek the services of the original dubbers from the other network, minus the voice talent of Shan Cai, who was reported to had already gone abroad.

For these, GMA 7, like the pinoy F4 fans, are equally hopeful and confident that the MG magic must live on.

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 to Replace Jerry Yan in F4?

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!

ccording to today's Liberty Times, it was reported that fans can't just see their idols, they may be able to touch them, or even have a 'love hug'. The meet session's organizer, Chao Ji Yuan Ding (kkla: this is also Ge Fu Hong's company), stated that 80 media organizations from Japan including major newspapers, and even BBC will send representatives to TW for reporting the event. In order to make fans comfortable, 80 buses will be used to send fans to the venue and over 200 staff will help maintain the order. Language used in the meet session will be Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In addition, in order to satisfy some fans who will wait outside but can't attend the session, official souvenirs/endorsing products of each member (and Vanness' new album) will be displayed and sold outside the venue, so a competition is secretly going on that it will be clear on that day who is the most popular. In order to support one's idol, fans have started to compete with each other. According to source, Yan Cheng Xu's fans will cover the site with tons of flowers. As for now, 35 flower baskets have been collected, and Tourist Bureau has arranged a location to receive all the flower baskets from Yan Cheng Xu's fans. On the other hand, F3's fans will support their idols with lots of signs.============ ========= ====According to Yan Xiao Yu, from the Japanese version of SJ's urgent notice, it reviewed the location of the fanfests will be Asia Life Shopping Mall, which has 15 and 3 basement floors. The most possible location is Fu Ye Club (don't know it's official English name. Auyinling stated that she almost misread it as Bao Ye Club. Bao Ye is a nickname of Jerry called by TH's staff. Bao as in Bao Long and Ye is a respectful term for someone who has higher status) on the 8th floor. BTW, on the 15th floor, there is a spa-public bath place that some fans joked about it being the possible location for fanfests.============ ========= ===In order to watch the meet session on I'm TV, you need to sign up as a member first.

Wu Zun and Yan Cheng Xu Played Against Each Other Two Years Ago
http://udn.com/ NEWS/MEDIA/ 3808140-1596247. jpg

Although the "Basketball Fire", which will cast the two super idols, Yan Cheng Xu and Wu Zun, is still in preparation, off camera, the two played against each other on the basketball court before. When asked whose skills are better, Wu Zun joked, "My muscles are bigger." For having a chance to work with Yan Cheng Xu, Wu Zun is looking forward to it. Two years ago, when he just went to TW from Brunie, Wu Zun met Yan Cheng Xu through their common model friends, and their first 'rivalry' was playing against each other on the basketball court. Wu Zun said, "Yan Cheng Xu has already been very popular at that time. When off carmera, Yan Cheng Xu is not supercilious at all. When he knew about my desire to join the show business, he even provided me with a lot of wonderful advice." On the court, they were once teammates, and they also played against each other. After the game, they chatted on the side of the court about their idol, Michael Jordon, while drinking beer. This friendship which started from playing basketball is facing a challenge when the press continue comparing the two after he has suddenly become popular because of his role in Hana-Kimi.

Basketball Fire's producer, Feng Jia Rui, who is also Wu Zun's agent and Yan Cheng Xu's business partner of Dramadream, faces a situation taht both parties are equally important, like both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh. He indicates yesterday, in order to promote Hua Liu (the popularity of Chinese dramas), he established Dramadream with Yan Cheng Xu, Cai Yue Xun, Niu Cheng Ze, etc... Basketball Fire has been in preparation for two years. In order to help promote Hua Liu, Yan Cheng Xu even suggested to play as guest star in the drama for being a mentor for the newcomer.

Years ago, Feng Jia Rui successfully produced Meter Garden, and recently he has successfully made Wu Zun very popular. In his eyes, the Yan Cheng Xu who worked with him during Meteor Garden period has a pure heart of a child, and he is very serious and hardworking. On the other hand, Wu Zun is shy but with surprising learning ability. When asked which role in MG he wants to play, Wu Zun bravely answered, "I want to play DMS." At the same time, he was concerned about being interpreted as competing with Yan Cheng Xu. Feng Jia Rui, who stood on his side, immediately patted him and said, "You look more like Lei la."

F4 will hold a Fan Meeting for Japanese and Korean fans on April 22
This coming Taiwan tourism travel schedule is really very well-planned! F4 will hold a Fan Meeting for their Japanese and Korean fans on the 22nd, and sponsor Superdome even guarantees that not only will they get to see F4, but get the chance to also feel the hands and arms of F4. as fans warmly looks forward and loves to hold them.
Future international media interview in Taiwan
Superdome's person-in-charge in planning the Fan meeting said that this is a high-standard fan meeting event. All in all, there would be 80 Japanese who would be coming over for interview, well-known daily newspapers like Yomiuri Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun sent people to cover the event, and even BBC World sent their foreign correspondents for interview. In order to let 4000 Japanese and Korean fans feel at home, there will be 80 tour buses that will shuttle fans arriving in Taiwan to the venue site at the National Taiwan University Gym on that day. Simultaneously, about 200 staff and receptionists speaking Chinese, Japanese and Korean would guide guests throughout the event. Superdome expressed that to overcome the language barrier, fans and F4 will play games that will allow the 4 idols to touch hands and arms and interact with the fans. Asked what kind of hand and arms games, they just revealed that the winner will get to hug his favorite F4. Related Products Bazaar to sell F4's aggressive charmsAccording to the event objectives, Taiwan, Southeast Asian, Hong Kong, China, etc. fans cannot attend the fan meeting. However, there would still be several hundred fans outside the venue to cheer on. In order to satisfy these fans outside the venue, sponsors had set up a bazaar of F4 related goods including Tshirts, wall hangers, postcards, posters and many more. Even if F4 was reunited just for Taiwan's aggressive tourism, yet the 4 are still difficult to discreetly compare in terms of strength, as the related goods sold are only individual items and no F4 group items. That is why among F4, on who would sell the most related goods, the results will be known on that same day. Fans assert their struggle for leadershipIn order to support their own idol, fans already began to assert their power. According to reports, Jerry Yan fans will use a sea of flowers tactic throughout the venue. At present, they have already collected 35 huge flower baskets, and the Tourism Office has also assigned conspicuous places across the venue for these flowers to be displayed. As to other F3 fans, they are also carrying out a slogan plan to support their own idols.

In their own intense taxi ride for a speedy tour of Taiwan, the Tourism Bureau acted on first batch of fans who arrived in Taiwan, those coming from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore, and then armed with a map, from the hotel they took the taxi to the press conference, and still wanted to visit places including the TV networks, and also the idol drama filming locations.Sitting on the grounds, fans from the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan and even Singapore, smashed money to fly across the seas to go to Taiwan to watch their idol, and fans were very motivated. Japanese fan clubs were still in their self-made ID numbers as they pulled out their maps and said that they wanted to go to the TV network, but the press conference location could not be announced. The idol drama filming sites were out of the main streets, but they also wanted to go to all these places, not just a few sites, in a taxi, instead of walking. A Japanese fan: " I can go everywhere in all other places, in the very many sites like Meteor Garden." Upon coming to Taiwan, they were just in time to catch up on Vanness' new album launching press conference, in their impromptu Taiwan travel schedule for the first batch of foreign fans, who all came to Taiwan for their idols. A Thai fan: "It's my first time to come to Taiwan." Reporter: "Do you think it's worth it to come for your idol?" Thai Fan: "Of course!" Japanese fan: "I can now see my idol and hear him sing his new song, I'm very happy." The first batch of happy Taiwan visitors arrived last Thursday. F4 really unleashed their charms, and came out with a travel stigma, as fans find ways on how to go to their idols, they must march on "pa pa zou" (JK: is this crawling?) in chasing their stars.

F4 endorsement benefits are high, Tourism Bureau wantsto invite Chien Ming Wang to become the Voice of Taiwan
IMPORTANT NOTICE: FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD OR REPOST ELSEWHERE WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION FROM JERRY'S KINGDOM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
Tourism Bureau spokespersons F4 is about to hold their Fan Metting on April 22, where about 5,000 Japanese and Korean fans are coming to support. The Tourism Bureau is fairly satisfied with regards to F4 actually reaping up benefits. Moreover, they revealed plans to talk with the "Pride of Taiwan" Chien Ming Wang in their hope to get him to be the Tourism Voice of Taiwan. As to AMEI 's contract as endorser for Singapore and Malaysia is expiring soon, the Tourism Bureau just said that upon the ad agency proposal, AMEI's contract might be renewed or also might have a new face. F4 charms continue to be hot. At first, there are 8,000 fans who wanted to come to Taiwan to chase their stars. However, because of constraints on the venue and some airport problems, the number was reduced to about 5.000. Fans coming to Taiwan are divided into two types - the 3 days-2nights package and the 4days-3night package, which is estimated to bring in to the industry more than NT$100 million in business opportunities at the very least for this single Fan Meeting event. The Tourism Office plans to hold a second Fan Meeting Event in Taiwan on October, for fans who were presently left out and to compensate on their long cherished wishes.As to the start of the shooting for F4's idol drama on the second half of the year, it is then predicted to be shown before the year end in Japanese and Korean TV channels. Because the results of the F4 endorsement is really very high, for which the Toursim Bureau estimated to increase by 7% output, which also increased the number of Japanese and Korean tourists coming to Taiwan, the Tourism Bureau Chief Lai Se Zhen said," This year's target Japanese are 1.23 million, but now, we increased the target again. I hope for the Koreans, we could exceed the 200,000 target." Although celebrity endorsements are expensive, the results are very astonishing. For example, AMEI's endorsement for Singapore and Malaysia also gave warm responses in the locality. However, her contract is about to expire on June, therefore, upon the recommendation of the ad agency, the Bureau might either renew AMEI's contract or change into a new endorser. Aside from tapping stars capably endorsing travel, the Tourism Bureau is also eying Taiwan's pride Chein Ming Wang as a target, to cater to the Americans. However, the Tourism Bureau stressed that presently, it's still in the initial planning stage. He might not be just a "spokesperson" but would also have other forms of programs, to let Taiwan tourism shine in the international media.

As the idol group F4's Japanese and Korean fans are about to troop down to Taiwan, the Tourism Bureau especially prepared an F4 open concert for Japanese and Korean fans on the 22nd, that resulted to 5000 fans signing up for this special tour of Taiwan. In addition, accommodations in the 21 hotels, just for this Japanese and Korean nationals chasing their stars, would immediately bring 7% growth in sales revenues from business opportunities for the Tourism Bureau, which is equivalent to about 4.2 Billion. Actually, F4 had already been crazily closely followed and chased by Japanese and Korean nationals, as they won't pass any opportunity at all, and now, these enthusiastic fans had to come to all the way to Taiwan to follow after F4. Because the Tourism Bureau had prepared an open concert for F4 on the 22nd, it is for this reason why large troops of foreign fans were attracted to come to Taiwan., bringing in some 220 million of business opportunities. How huge is the F4 magnetic charms? Travel agents seemed to illustrate how," In fact, from April 20, it's already very difficult to get lodging accommodations, Taipei's hotels are now already fully-booked with guests." Almost 5000 Japanese and Korean fans are now booked in the northern 21 hotels with their 4day-3nights package, and hotel rates jumped from 30,000 per person for a 3-star accommodation, to a bit less than 40,000 rate for the 5-star hotels. With a day tour of Taiwan included, an additional 3,000 dollars are charged. Female fans can also choose a beauty salon or a nail polish side trip in their own expense, because he package, aside from the free admission ticket for the F4 open concert on the 22nd, also includes a free F4 specially- printed souvenir booklet of getting to know Taiwan, with Jerry's introduction of the National Palace Museum, Zaizai's recommendations on 101 Tower, and again eating Vanness' favorite Taiwanese fruits and Ken's favorite mixed pork meal. All Japanese and Korean fans shouldn't certainly miss the Meteor Garden filming spots.The Tourism Bureau's selection of F4 to market Taiwan tourism already succeeded with the target results, with the estimated 7% growth in Japanese and Korean tourist influx, it would bring about 4.2 Billion in business opportunities, and the Tourism Bureau's first bang on idol endorsers as their strategy was successful.

Japanese and Korean fans flocks F4 charms earns 120 million
IMPORTANT NOTICE: FOR YOUR READING ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT REPOST OR TRANSFER TO OTHER WEBSITES WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION FROM JERRY'S KINGDOM. THANK YOUIdol drama ctors promoting Taiwan tourism strategy is proved to be effective! On the scheduled April 22 F4 Japan and Korea International Fan Meeting to be held in Taiwan, travel agencies announced that the travel packages for the Fan Metting in Taiwanis already full, and the Japan-Taiwan airline route is now difficult to purchase. At present, the Japanese and Korean fans who registered already reached more than 4000.

This year, the Tourism Bureau also made a bold move and invited F4 as tourism ambassadors, to convene fans in a Fan Meeting and to film an idol drama to promote. The Tourism Bureau rates that F4 bringing in Japanese and Koreans for Taiwan tours has a market value of 7%, or about 4.12 BILLION dollars in business opportunities.

The Tourism Bureau smashed a heavy 85 million fund to invite F4 group to sell Taiwan tourism. However, participating travel agencies privately said that fans are scrambling to get the 3 days and 2 nights package, where this type only includes one scenic spot - to participate in the F4 Fans Meeting. Yesterday, F4 had a promo pictorial for the endorsement event, getting away from those days of youthful looks in "Meteor Garden, : with Jerry, Vic, Vanness and Ken's no-holds barred and striking smiles, as if they reach out to call on their fans, and invite everyone to come and enjoy the beauty of Taiwan. The April 22 activity was specially arranged for Japanese and Korean fans, that triggered an intense resentment among the Taiwanese F4 internet fans. But the Tourism Bureau wanted to take advantage of F4's huge popularity in Japan and Korea to uphold Taiwan tourism. However, this event only sold some 5000 travel package tours, of which majority are all F4 fans. The travel agencies expressed that the major part in the pricing for 4 days -3nights and the 3days-2nights packages is according to the difference in hotel accommodations, which should be at least NT$30,000. Although the Fan Meeting would only last for 90 minutes, yet the fans would be chasing their idols, and had to line up which gives them no time for any other travel routes. The least they can have is to arrange for two "Meteor Garden" filming locations such as the Art Gallery. Because Jerry will not join the cast for the idol drama, a previous commotion came out. Faced with this, the 4 members had to participate in each of the present Tourism Bureau activities, being fully careful, regardless whether in local or foreign events. Yesterday, Yahoo Taiwan group went further and announced the Fan Meeting details and said that the 4 men will sing together in two songs, to interact with fans, ans wont's have a solo number. When asked whether the VCR broadcast "scenes" of each F4 will be equal, the staff frankly said,"Of course F4 would unlikely argue on these compared to their fans, so we are now attending to every detail."

Wu Zun refuses to lift the chair for Jerry Yan as the handsome men fight on and break-up working together
IMPORTANT NOTICE: FOR YOUR READING ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD OR TRANSFER TO ANY WEBSITE WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION FROM JERRY'S KINGDOM. THANK YOU.
The new drama "Basketball Fire" will start shooting soon. This project and the Japanese anime " Slam Dunk" are somewhat dentical in plot, where the first lead " Ying Mu Hua Dao" was originally set for Yan Cheng Xu "Jerry" while Wu Zun was tapped for the second lead man "Liu Chuan Feng" , in a first mutually awkward performance for the two huge " idol handsome men". A few days ago, however, there were rumors that Wu Zun schedule was already full, and has no wish to act as a substitute for Jerry in lifting the chair, so the two men working together unexpectedly fizzled out. Having about 20 episodes and to be produced under GTV, it is expected to be aired in summer where most likely, it talks about a university-based men's basketball team with two star players colliding each other. In the story, they would emerge from being enemies and finally working together, where they would join hands to grab the next national championships crown.
In Wu Zun's leap to fame, will he be unsuitable for a second lead?
According to a staff member who disclosed, Jerry will act as the hot-tempered "Ying Mu Hua Dao" and the original cast Wu Zun as "Liu Chuan Feng", a cold character. Too bad that Wu Zun has already committed himself to "Little Princess" "The Hana Kimi Sequel" and many more idol dramas this year, therefore gracefully refusing to join the project. Bao Long loves basketball. Wu Zun was also once joined the national basketball championship in Brunei, and the drama group regarded the two as a " dream team". However, according to sources, when Fahrenheit soared to fame last year, Wu Zun's talent fee also leaped high. Because of this, his management company then added and checked on "Basketball Fire" first lead Jerry Yan. If Wu Zun would join the cast, the newbie's scenes in the drama are bound not to be equal to the senior, to appear as if Jerry is the one lifting the chair.
Very offended on being second, manager denied
Wu Zun's manager Dong Pin Cen said " That's boring. We don't know who is heavy or who is light in the drama, so how come it would be offending to the second male lead." She said that Wu Zun has already scheduled his shootings for his new dramas for this year, so of course he can no longer commit to the "basketball" drama, but rumors immediately concocted that he refused being the second lead, so she had no choice but to say that there are many good and bad famous people.

F4 sets up Fan Gathering, Taiwanese won't be able to enter

THANK YOU.
A few days ago, F4 reunited and went to Japan and Korea as Tourism ambassadors. On the 22nd of this month, they will hold an "international Fan Gathering at the Taiwan University Multi-Purpose Gym, especially for the benefit of Sakura and Kimchi young fans, but actually provoked anger from the locals, and was upset on Boss Jerry for not fighting for the Taiwanese. After the Tourism Bureau directed their focus on moneyed foreigners, Ms Zheng of the Tourism Bureau's International Group said, "I guess I should say sorry to the local fans." Fans bangs the Tourism Bureau As Tourism ambassadors, F4's main target are Japanese and Korean tourists. For this project, the bureau directly works hand in hand with Japanese and Korean travel agencies. As long as they are coming for a Taiwan tour, then they can already get an entrance ticket, which can accommodate 5,000 persons. They also held a meeting a meeting with F4, and they suggested games with fans and ways of interacting, and these ideas would be good and helpful in lifting up Taiwan tourism. However, in their great disappointment, they cannot allow Taiwanese fans to enter. On the website of Jerry fans in Taiwan "TW Love Jerry Family" (www.jerryyan.org.discuz), bitterness is evident, with sour pains, "Seems I have to get a double citizenship". A fan named "Mo Huan Xiang Yu" said, "I'm very disappointed with Jerry, and very angry,la!" Jerry's manager Billy said that these things were sponsored by the Tourism Bureau, mainly directed for the Japanese and Korean fans, and in the future they can have other ways to have meetings again. Surprisingly however, numerous fans defending their idol increased and besieged this resentful Taiwanese fan, forcing "Mo Huan Xiang Yue" to post an apology. However, they are unanimous in stand against the Tourism Office for not allowing the Taiwanese outside the venue. Southern-based fans conveyed, "Don't tell me that South-based fans going to the north are not considered tourists?" Ms. Zheng saiid that in inviting F4 as tourism ambassadors, they must attract tourists, and the present activity must promote Taiwan tourism. So I have no other thing to say but sorry to the locals."

F4 hopefully to unite again by year-endF3 already recording, only Ken has not

After so much silence, F4 has recently revealed that they want to unite again this year, as they made joint showbiz circle appearances, like in last month's F4 ambassadorship promotion on Taiwan for our country's tourism, closely went to promote in Korea, but still managed to keep themselves in high spirits. F4 producer Angie Chai also earlier revealed that the 4 men will again unite to film an all-new idol drama series. Yesterday, reporter also learned that it's very possible that F4 will jointly release their new album by the end of the year, fresh from their last and already 5-year old "Fantasy 4ever" album. F3 already recording but only Ken has no plansRegardless of being F4 or individually as F1, their exposure has dropped down at the beginning of this year. A few days ago, at the unveiling ceremonies in Madame Tusseaud Wax Museum in Shangahai, the main lead Jerry Yan was not able to attend, causing the people to be worried on his condition. However, yesterday, Jerry's manager Billy spoke to the reporter over the phone that Jerry could not attend because he is busy with work and denied the widely-spread rumors that Jerry is not in a good shape at this time. Billy confirmed to the reporter that Jerry plans to release an all-new solo album this year. He said that the album is already in the production stage now, but can't really push through because Jerry is still busy with the Taiwan tourism promo. In addition, Jerry's perfectionist demands requires a lot of his effort in this album, so the release of this solo album would be relatively later. In his collaboration with Kangta last year, Vanness took the leading step higher in successfully breaking away, and will release his new solo album "V.Dubb" on April 20. According to reports, because Vanness personally took care of the dance choreography for this new album, he is now known as the new dancing king and the the album title came from Vanness' childhood nickname. Moreover, the reporter found out that Vic Zhou will also make an all- new solo album from April to August of this year. Presently, among F4, Vic's exposure is the highest, and also has the highest sales of solo albums. Ken currently has still no plans to record a new album but his management company denied rumors that it's because of Ken's low moods and difficulty to make selections for him. F4 to reunite as one to destroy the half-grouping tagEven readers are concerned on F4 walking down together. According to the reporter's understanding, F4's tourism ambassadorship from the Tourism Bureau is a major signal. Although often there are negative news appearing when F4 goes to promote in various places, yet it is fact that F4's united power actually increases to expand further, letting the people see the real opportunities. According to reports, after F4 disbanded, Vic and Ken's contract still remained under the management of Fu Lung, while Jerry signed up with a free-lance manager Chen Jia Ying. Vanness is occupied with his own "small private business" that is why the F4 reunion was not a real "family appearance" at all. The reporter found out that after completing each work, it's possible that F4 will come up with a all-new group album and release it by the end of the year, and their duty as Tourism ambassadors will continue until the end of this year. In addition, Angi Chai's camp also sent feelers that F4 will again shoot another idol drama. Whether it would continue the long-gone Meteor Garden "serial + album" marketing technique, the people will get to see the results within the second half of this year. Although it is really impossible for F4 to walk together again as one group, yet the year-end reunion will signify F4's possible showbiz career trends. For these, many of F4's faithful supporters will be all happy and endlessly excited. After waiting for many years, they can finally see F4 again reappearing in the "Cheng Jing" River Lake. However, there is also someone who spilled a basin of water, a female fan who said, "Vic Zhou and Jerry Yan is still everyone's favorite, but it's only F4's collective effect on sexiness that even fine young men will feel inferior to."

Museum welcomed "Jerry Yan" yesterday
After Louis Koo and Jolin Cai, tens-of-thousands fans Jerry Yan's wax figure then came next to be unveiled at the Madame Tusseaud Wax Museum in Shanghai yesterday. For this wax model, Jerry chose his circus flying trapeze Pepsi Ad model. Earlier, Louis Koo refused this circus model part because it was very sexy. Yet, Jerry is not worried at all, "Actually, in every event, fans all want to get close to me, that sometimes I get bruised. So this wax figure can then satisfy their every desire. It doesn't matter if it's a little sexier." Even though Jerry didn't show up at the unveiling yesterday, his numerous fans was able to take pictures with the "sexy Jerry," as souvenir, and also felt very happy.

Celebrity Wax Museum adds another resident again, Unveils Jerry Yan's Wax Figure
IMPORTANT NOTICE: FOR YOUR READING ONLY, DO NOT REPOST OR FORWARD. PLEASE ASK PERMISSION FROM JERRY'S KINGDOM IF YOU WANT TO TRANSFER THESE TRANSLATIONS ELSEWHERE. THANK YOU
Sina Entertainemnt News Since Pepsi launched its endorsers' wax figures at Madame Tusseaud's Wax Museum in Shanghai last February, many fans went to visit. Everyone was also looking forward for the arrival of the huge stars wax figures at the Pepsi Family exhibit Hall. Following the unveiling of Louis Koo and Jolin Cai's wax figures last February, comes the next leading cup to uncover. Wild and Devilish with tens-of-thousands-legion of Asian fans is Jerry Yan who became the third Pepsi giant star wax figure to appear.Earlier, Louis chose the Bird man model for his wax figure because he was very afraid of his circus model. Sexy Jerry chose the flying trapeze circus wax model, with his very thin upper shirt and tight-hugging pants, that revealed his healthy and bulky stature, nothing like any of the usual flying trapeze artificial models. Asked if he is not worried wearing those skinny clothes when fans would hug the wax figure and take pictures, Jerry said, "Actually, in every event, fans try to get close to me , so that in many instances, the process get us all bruised. My wax figure is safe and could then satisfy everyone's desires. So I don't mind being so-called a little sexy,la!" Regarding his experiences in posing for the wax model, Jerry expressed that his most unforgettable part was when he tried to suppress his laughing, "Because the circus model needs to project a more cool character, the posing required to keep a grim expression during the entire session. When the artist used a pen in my face and body to mark his measurements, i was very much tickled, I wanted to laugh but I can't" Being chosen as the third Pepsi Giant Star, Jerry said that it's been his dream ever since, "The wax artists presented me some pictures of the other celebrity wax figures they already made. I haven't seen any wax figure before and now Pepsi spent so much money for me in the making of my own wax figure. I'm really very flattered. Being a Pepsi Family member will always be my honor. In working with Pepsi these past several years, every project is very grandeur and very unforgettable. In being the third member to enter the Pepsi Exhibit Hall, I'm deeply moved and looking forward to it, hoping at the earliest time, I can finally see and compare to myself my own wax figure." Shanghai's Madame Tusseaud's Wax Museum Gen.Manager Sir Fu Han Hua said, "Shanghai's Madame Tusseaud's Wax Museum offers true-to-life waxworks and houses high-tech interactive elements. Since its inauguration, visitors and tourist and through the internet kept coming. In addition, the close encounter enables them the chance to hold the celebrity wax figures, and we try to innovate new ways so as to attract more visitors. For example, last February we unveiled the Pepsi Family Exhibit Hall, a first in history, and it has attracted many visitors already, especially those die-hards on celebrities and even young fashionistas. After Jerry, visitors can anticipate for more additional members to come in."

Second to Baolong's handsomeness?The Handsome Men>On Wu Zun's single career: doesn't want to fly solo
JK note: In terms of drama projects, Jerry gets US$15,000 per episode while Wu Zun gets NT$50,000-70,000 per episode. For concerts, Jerry earns US$120,000 for 3 songs and Wu Zun earns US$10-30,000 for 3 songs (this is shared with the other 3 members of Fahrenheit). For their advertisement talent fees, Wu Zun gets 20 MILLION (also shared with the other 3 members of Farenheit) while Jerry gets 30 MILLIONIn terms of power to suck in money and bankablility , Wu Zun can still be really inferior to F4, but his showbiz path is somewhat similar to that of Jerry Yan's in his earlier years. Just like Jerry,Wu Zun came from a 4-man group, his handsomeness outshines his other "ladies' ideal" qualities, and companies also began to take him as commercial endorser. When Jerry broke away from F4, he formed his own company, but Wu Zun's group denied that he would become the next Baolong. Will he turn to fly to foreign lands and go solo? (skipped the last part not mentioning Jerry)

F3 felt very gratified as Jerry deeply worked up for the F4 endorsement in Japan

As Leng Yue posted, the columnist Bu Qing Yun wrote that when F4 went to promote in Japan earlier as endorsers for Taiwan Tourism Bureau, F4's eldest member Jerry Yan adopted a different approach than F3 and instead delivered Taiwanese Tea leaves as gifts to the Japanese media. Although he sarcastically threw foul words to Jerry, Bu Qing Yun in the end admitted that Jerry's gesture gave a deep impression to the Japanese media and on the the Taiwan Tourism Bureau endorsement event. Bu Qing Yun had no choice but to say:The "Hong Bao" (red envelop gift) is really commendableThe tea leaves as a creative gift idea is goodIf it is a reason for endorsement Then the tea leaves would compete to any "Hong bao"

Using "Taiwan Wave (Tai Liu)" to counter-attack Japan and Korea, F4 reunites to film an idol drama, and brought warm responses from the internet! When the Tourism Bureau held a poll survey on the filming sites for the idol drama, the highest votes was garnered by Pintung City's Kenting and Kaohsiung City's Love River. In addition, many foreign fans sent emails recommending Naotou City's Creek Head and Taipei's LongShan Temple. After tallying data, the Tourism Bureau will give the results to a publicist as consultant of the film company Last month, F4 arrived in Tokyo and Seoul as spokespersons for Taiwan tourism. Enthusiastic fans crowded at the airport, and these charms extended at the internet when the Toursim Bureau invited fans to recommend filming locations to be used in the drama. Afetr the cutoff during the third week last month, it already attracted some 450, 000 net users in January alone, recommending as much as 648 filming sites. Among the most favored are Kenting National Park, next is Love River, and the 3rd is Hualien City's Zhao Feng farm. There are also many fans who recommended Taiwan's array of food carts along Taipei's night market and even the Coffee Hall, the Tree House of Anping. There are many Taiwanese, Korean, Hong Kong and US-based fans who joined. There is also a Japanese fan Miss Xiao Lin who emailed, that she had gone to love Taiwan because of F4, and has been going through for several times already and saw Taipei 101, Chang Kai Sheik Memorial Hall, Shi Lin Night market, Fisherman's wharf, Yang Ming mountain and Xi Men Ding. Everytime she goes to Taiwan, Miss Xiao Lin makes sure to bid goodbye at the Longshan Temple, so she especially recommended Long Shan Temple as a filming site. The Tourism Office then expressed that through the fans' enthusiastic participation, they had found some fresh private villas and houses for destination, and after the Tourism Bureau has collected all data, they will forward these informations to a publicist company to act as filming consultant.

Kimura Talks about Jerry in his Radio Show
Chinese Transcript by Wheel0704 of www.jerryyan.orgtranslated by yanaliao of www.nbbbs.com
Takuya Kimura has a Radio show wherein he talks about his shows, live performances or even made some interlude for the fans, he even talked about F4's guesting on their show SMAPXSMAP. He said that the group F4 was very cute because after the show they even asked for a group picture and autograph from them.Takuya even said: "After F4's portion was taped, I thought they already left, but after I finished taping the whole show, I was surprised to see Mr. Yan (there was a term Takuya used in addressing Jerry which is often used to call the elders) waiting for me. When he saw me coming he said: "Xin Ku le!" (literally means you've worked hard enough), then he said he was waiting for me to finish so we could have a picture together. I was wondering why he wanted to do it again since we just had one right after their portion was taped. In the end I learned that because I was dressed funny in the show, he wanted to have a picture with me in my usual look. He even waited for me to finish the taping. This left a very deep impression in me."

New TV series will showcase nation's scenic locations
By Shelley ShanSTAFF REPORTER
Monday, March 12, 2007, Page 2
The Tourism Bureau announced last year that it would sponsor the production of a romantic TV series called Wish to See You in Taiwan, starring the popular boy band F4 -- on the condition that the series showcase some of the nation's scenic locations for its setting. The TV series, scheduled to be completed by November, will be broadcast during prime time in Japan and South Korea.While the bureau has not finalized its list of recommended sites, the scouting for potential locales has already generated discussions in cyberspace.
Some ideas
Yvonne Lee, an engineer, said in an instant message exchange that there were a couple of places she would recommend, including Alishan and Kuanshan."The latter may be less known to the public, but it is a place where you can watch a beautiful sunrise and is one of the few less-polluted areas in Taiwan," she wrote. Hannah Tsai, an office clerk, suggested a few possible combinations for scenic spots. She said that crews could shoot outdoor scenes in the narrow valley spanning Hualien and Taitung.Should the filming crew be interested in scenes from central Taiwan, Sun Moon Lake, Cingjing Veterans' Farm to Ouwanta Forest Recreation Areas all would be viable options. The Cingjing Farm is known for its widespread grassland and scenery similar to that found in Switzerland, while Ouwanta is home of the Atayal Tribe and known for its maple tree forest.Tsai said another option would be the coastal areas in the northeast. Also, given the right timing, the crew could shoot in Sanjhih, Taipei County, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, she wrote.Tsai said she also heard that the Bakuen Farm, located in a 1.3km-high mountain in Hsinchu County, was a nice location, adding that it was perfect for those who enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by clouds.
Other options
Doris Huang, a writer, said she would recommend Furen Village (???) on the Nankan Islet in Matsu.She said its coastal areas resemble those along the Mediterranean Sea.Jenny Yeh, also a writer, said that the area surrounding Tamkang University could also provide a good setting for a romantic series. The Tamshui Fishermen's Wharf, Fort San Domingo and other tourist attractions are found in the area.A man who only gave the name Tommy said that a romantic series needed a setting of such beauty as that found at Liushidanshan, Hualien County, famous, in summertime, for its hills filled with tiger lilies. The tourism bureau is still encouraging people to submit their ideas for settings to be used during the shooting of the series.

Still under Genting's spell
The Bangsar Boy
I AM not quite sure what my obsession with Genting Highlands is but I absolutely love that place. Perhaps it stems from the fact that it is such a fun place to be.
When younger, it was not close enough to make frequent visits and now that I'm much older and mobile, it's really barely an hour away.
The unfortunate part for me, however, is that many of my friends don't feel the same way.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to spend a night there and obviously, I grabbed the opportunity. I had a hard time convincing friends to come along with me but eventually (with the promise of a free bed and me doing the driving) they relented. I didn't spend much time up there, we got there in time for a quick dinner and then it was time for the Vanness Wu concert we were due to watch. After that, we took a walk around the indoor theme park.
The next morning, we had a quick breakfast and I was determined to play some games. I wasn't so much interested in the outdoor theme park that particular day, recollecting some scary memories.
I was there once in 2003 with a group of colleagues. We spent a couple of nights there which was really fun but the best part really was going on the rides. You see, prior to that, I have always been scared of such rides and the only reason I agreed to join my friends was because of a particular ride I had gone on the year before.
This was at one of the theme parks on the Gold Coast, Australia, during my round the country visit before heading back to KL, after having completed my studies.
Having paid so much money to get in (I really only wanted to visit the house where they shoot Big Brother Australia TV series), I decided I could not leave without trying out a ride.
This ride raises a group of people above a big pool of water and you are clamped down to your seats by this huge bars that come down from your shoulder and right down to your belly.
I met this guy in the queue and he was nice enough to talk me through the whole ordeal. When we were going round and round, the guy – a typical Australian bloke – was kind enough to offer to hold my hand in exchange for me keeping my eyes open.
"You can't miss this view, mate," was his reason. When we were suspended 90 degrees, our body weight all on the bar, it was he who convinced me to let go and hold my hand out a la Superman.
I did and the feeling was amazing. So, when I was in Genting with my colleagues, I carried with me that confidence. I went on the Cork Screw which was a great feeling and
I became brave enough to go on this device, I forget what it is called.
It basically lifts you very, very high up, holds you there for a while before making a free fall drop. It was a blast and I was convinced that I had overcome my fear of thrill rides.
Unfortunately, a visit back in 2005 (my last time there before last weekend – so much for loving the place, huh?) I once again decided to go on that ride. I wanted to experience the same thrill except this time, on my own. All the way up there, I asked myself: "Oh my gosh, what were you thinkiiiiiii…" and before I could finish that thought, I was on my way down, totally unprepared and scared sh**less.
I've not been back on a thrill ride since. So this time round, I was still determined to act like a kid and went around looking for some games to entertain myself with.
My friends and I found ourselves in the arcade section of the indoor theme park and seeing all those games – Street Fighter, Daytona racing and Time Cop – just brought back memories.
My friend and I were talking about the days back in school when we'd play truant (I only did it once, mum!) to head over to the arcade centre in Jaya Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya. At that time, with my allowance, I could only afford a couple of games so what we had to do was be really good so as to keep winning because as long as you don't lose, you're still in the game.
I also remember the days when my uncle from Singapore would want to head up to Genting to have a go at the casino, and my mum would insist that I go along.
Now, I'm not sure if mum sent me there to babysit my uncle, or vice versa but we had the time of our lives.
While he was in there trying to win more money for me to play games (so long as he kept winning, I had stash to keep playing), I was trying to win as much coupons to exchange for a pencil box, or a soft toy. Not quite the same thing, but I've never been a gambling kind of person anyway.
The best part however for me has always been the cold weather because then it really felt like I was away from home.
I always made it a point to walk about and take in the fresh air. Of course, the best way was really by taking the taxi down – the windows are never down, and the drivers always drove as if they were going to drive over the ledge which ensured that we got a cold blast of air in our face all the way down.
Hmm... maybe that's why I've got such a phobia of thrill rides.

F4 were divided into two groupsJerry & Vanness rests next door, Ken & Zaizai goes together
As F4 goes to Japan and Korea, the four kept a coordinated appearance. Yet however, in order to clearly understand, Jerry and Vanness stays in one room while Zaizai and Ken are in another room. Not only were their suits were colored dark gray and black, even at the airplane seating and hotel accommodation they were into two groups. In addition, during the live interview,they had selected their seating according to their division. Although F4 says that they all get along well, yet there is still an installed division. When Vanness went solo in his album signing event, Jerry surprisingly appeared to support him, letting Vanness deeply touched. The two was also once photographed together eating hot pot in a restaurant. ZaiZai and Ken once worked together in "Love Storm" they became close and had friendly bonding. This time, as they went to the airport to go to Japan, they rode the same car together and used each other's comb and makeup. In Japan, the 4 stayed in the executive suite of Cerulean Tower Tokyu, which costs NT$100,000 a night. The entire floor only has two rooms, Jerry and Vanness stayed at the 36th floor while Zaizai and Ken stayed at the 35th floor. At the press con, the 4 are also divided into 2 groups, and even their suits are divided into two colors. Jerry and Vanness were both wearing gray while Ken and Zaizai were wearing black, clearly marking their division. Yesterday as they ended up their Japanese tour, they would proceed to Korea to continue their Taiwan promo. Besides their scheduled press conference, they have also accepted 8 major network and print media interviews. After Jerry went solo, he changed his manager-consultant again. This time in his Tokyo trip, he had with him Hong Jun Chen (Billy) as his new manager.

Vanness scores for effort
Despite an injury, Taiwanese heart-throb Vanness Wu put on an energetic show, with slick moves to feet-stomping music.
TAIWANESE singer/actor Vanness Wu heated up the Arena of Stars in Genting Highlands recently in his "Vanness Wu Live In Genting" concert despite an injury sustained during rehearsals. Appearing with a cane, which he put to good use as a dance prop as well, he revealed that he had fallen down the stairs earlier that day and had hurt his leg.But if you think that the injury would put an end to his dance moves that night, you are mistaken. He gritted his teeth and pranced so well that you forgave the fact that his vocals left something to be desired, at times, failing to reach the high notes and, more often than not, drowned by the pounding music.Although it was not a capacity crowd, his die-hard fans from Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and of course, Malaysia, more than made up for it with their enthusiasm and support."It was unfortunate that I fell and hurt my leg," he said. "Although I regret that it might not be a 100 per cent performance tonight, I promise that I will still do my best. And it would surely help if there is more screaming!"Naturally, fans complied heartily, especially when Wu stripped off his shirt to show his well-toned body and abs. Fans stood and waved lighted sticks and sang along.The music was feet-tapping good and Wu did a great job in grabbing one's attention with his slick moves. Speaking to his fans in English, the ABC (American-born Chinese) sang both Mandarin as well as English numbers and revealed that he especially practised two numbers by our Michael Wong (Tung Hua/Fairy Tale) and Fish Leong's (Yung Chi/Courage).I must say that he did pretty well with both. Other tracks that he sang included Shen Ti Hui Chang Ke (Singing With The Body), Wo Tao Yen Wo Ze Zhi (I Hate Myself) and Zi Mo Kuang Chang (Lonely Plaza).Of course, it would not be a Vanness Wu concert without the song Liu Xin Yu (Meteor Rain), the theme song of the drama Meteor Garden, which shot Wu and his group F4 to fame.He also did well with English numbers such as Amazing Grace, Kissing A Fool and I Was Born To Love You, etc.A lucky fan was chosen to go on stage to be serenaded with Kissing A Fool. Wu very appropriately repeated those three little words "I love you" in different languages during the rendition of I Was Born To Love You.The special guest for the evening was Nicky Lee, of the Taiwanese group Machi.Besides singing three solo numbers, the Korean-born, Taiwan-based singer also joined Wu for the closing as well as the encore, where they sang Celebration, A-Niu's – Yung Ma Lai Si Ya De Tian Chi Lai Suo Ai Ni (Saying I Love You with Malaysia's Climate) and, what else, Rasa Sayang.Wu might need some brushing up where his singing is concerned but he gets full marks for effort.

SMAP X SMAP warmly welcomed F4, Takuya Kimura became F5
Source: China TimesMarch 8, 2007
Because F4 is highly famous, even Takuya Kimura thought of becoming "F5!" Last night, F4 was invited to guest in SMAP's own variety show "SMAP X SMAP" where two of the biggest kings of Taiwan and Japan finally met. Jerry and Takuya exchanged admirations to each other, and Takuya even personally planned the episode to welcome their special guests.
SMAP X SMAP is shown in Fuji Channel, and has remained its high ratings over the years. Normally, hey would treat their foreign guests at theis "BISTRO SMAP Celebrity Nook" However, because they felt F4 deserved a special treatment, Takuya didnt only transformed himself as F5 but also came up with a short "Meteor Garden" skit, parlor game ans some few interviews. The whole program was taped from 4 to 11 pm. However, captain Masahiro Nakai and Goro Inagaki was absent last night due to other commitments.
Their manager revealed that Takuya really admires F4. He then thought that they could work together and Jerry really wants to see Takuya perform. In his admiration for Takuya, he said, " He is much good-looking in TV than I am. He is really a dream man by women, " making Takuya continuously flattered. In the "Meteor Garden" skit, Takuya and Kimura played Dao Ming Si together, and must choose to wear one of the two Shan Cai's Checkered skirts of Shingo Katori. However, Shingo warned both of them. For tarnishing his image for this short play, Jerry said, "No problem, I just thought it's funny."

F4 unfolds "Chinese Wave" in Japan as Tourism Ambassadors
Japanese TV channels had been continuously reporting the Taiwanese Idol stars F4 since their arrival in Tokyo last night. However, F4's stop in Japan is only the first wave of their Tourism endorsing, for which it will be followed by a fan gathering in April at the Taiwan University gym. As of now, there are already many Korean and Japanese fans who are beginning to sign up, afraid they might not have slots left when others come in, adding to the heat of the "China Wave".

At the airport, Jerry said that the April 22 fan gathering in Taiwan is a chance for F4 to get together again after a long time, and hopes that everyone could come and see if F4 has improved. Vic said" Ken laugghed at me when he saw my short hair and said I looked like Sun Wu Kong. Vanness wished that fans could come to the concert and see me dance. I may monkey-dance. " Sources who revealed said that their performance will be considerably rich and brilliant. If they will do it in Japan, they can even do 6 shows. However, the purpose of their trip today is to promote Taiwan tourism. Target is to attract at least 5000 Korean and Japanese tourist fans to come to Taiwan. That is why this time, they will hold it in Taiwan. 0ofD&u7i!DIEven a 58-year old fan who lives in the mountains of Tokyo already signed up for the fan gathering, said she never been in Taiwan and would do all means to get tickets just to see F4's rare reunion.
/@r5G(y9M+[/ J"BKen is deeply touched by the warm reception and orderliness of fans at the airport. Last time he came to Japan, the crowd was not that big. IN HK, crowding of fans caused some to be hurt. At the plane he saw a thunder and he got worried he might not see everyone but then they safely arrived and felt happy to see everyone.

Jerry said " Every time I go to Japan, I notice that fans are very active and happy. I worry for everyone's safety so after I come out, we all try to move quickly as possible. But I wish I can have much time to go slower so I can get in touch with everyone." Among the 4, Vic was the first to move away to the airport exit. Hearing a two-thousand stong crowd screaming "F4 F4", he was the first to wave his hands and seen the excitement in the fans' faces. Because his hair is much shorter now, some fans didn't recognize him at once. He joked," When I came out of the country, my hair is still longer, but when the thunder stroke, it became shorter." Japanese media who are fairly aware on F4's fame, asked the four on the project. Ken said that the Aprill 22 concert is the first wave. Besides the advertisements, there are also the photoshoots and other events. He said that at present he is resting and will come up with a movie or maybe a CD. Vanness revealed that he would release his second solo album soon and also has just set up a production firm.
Vic mentioned that he had recently been making a movie and will be shown this year. Also he would soon release a Japanese anime adapted TV serial " Delicious Relationship" as well as his 3rd solo album, wishing he could promote it successfully this year.

Jerry said that this year he might start on his solo album. For a TV serial, he was then pretty choosy, but now he hopes he could come up with many projects. It looks like that these tall, talented and handsome Taiwanese TV serial leading men, compared to these short Japanese actors, the outstanding one is visibly evident, much less falling behind the Taiwanese male artists.

Zai Zai rattles Da S skills in cooking noodles, middle of the night begs for Ken Zhu's rewarding dishes
ZaiZai has finished his promotion for Silence in Japan; he stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. During the propaganda he revealed that there was this one time his girlfriend Da S gave him some instant noodles to eat. He also revealed that there was this one time he went to Zhu Xiao Tian's house to beg for something to eat. He said: "Do you have time tonight?" The neighbors who have heard it felt it was a bit weird but actually he just wanted to ask for some pork dish so he could eat!Aside from saying that Da S skills in cooking is still the same, he loves to go to Zhu Xiao Tian's house, knock on his door and beg for something to eat. There was a time when both of them were practically neighbors and Zhu Xiao Tian can really cook Zhu You Ban (I think this is like Crispy Pata). His stomach was really hungry and he would just go there to beg for food. So far, the only person he really forces to cook is Zhu Xiao Tian it's because ZXT's skill in cooking is extremely good there was a time in a fit of hunger he just went to ZXT's house press the door bell and beg for food.

POP GROUP F4 PROMOTES TAIWAN'S TOURISM IN JAPAN 2007-03-07 20:50:32
Tokyo, March 7 (CNA) Popular Taiwanese four-man pop group, F4, held an international news conference in Tokyo to promote tourism in Taiwan and went to Fuji Television Network for a shoot on the famous television variety show of the Japanese five-man group, SMAP, where they talked about beauty of Taiwan.
F4 members Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu, and Vanness Wu said they were proud to be representatives of Taiwan's tourism at the international press conference organized by Taiwan's Tourism Bureau. The four members all showed off aspects of Taiwan that they favor, from beautiful natural scenery to delicious local fruits and dishes.
F4 talked about beauty of Taiwan during SMAP's show, "SMAP¡Ñ SMAP"-- the most sought after program for Japanese variety artists wishing to make a public appearance. This was the first time that Taiwanese artists have been on the program. Board Chairman of AzioTV Go Fu-hung said the show was designed by Takuya Kimura, a SMAP member and one of Japan's most favorite pop idol, and is scheduled to air next week.
Lai So-chen, director-general of Taiwan's Tourism Bureau said in the press conference that Japanese people made 1.16 million visits to Taiwan in 2006.

F4 members were appointed as the representatives of Taiwan Tourism Bureau
Taiwanese pop group F4's Jerry Yan, left, bangs his fellow F4 Vanness Wu's injured right leg during a news conference at a Tokyo hotel Wednesday, March 7, 2007. In the conference the F4 members were appointed as the representatives of Taiwan Tourism Bureau to promote the beauty of Taiwan to Asia and the rest of the world. Wu suffered from the injury during a concert rehearsal in Malaysia last week.

Jerry Yan Brakes income source brings up resentment to F3
Because of agent's commission problems , Jerry and his former managerAngie Chai decided to go separate ways, that lead him not to renewHis contract again, and eventually, he left the company.Because of the NT$10 million-worth of endorsement contract, Jerry will "reunite" with his group F4 and fly towards Japan and Korea to promote. Actually, F4 no longer exists, as Jerry already signed a contract with Katie Chen and with Melvin Chua's ad agency in China. But then again, because Jerry is a person who would not compromise, F4's March 2006 HK concert CD, DVD and related goods cant be released. Annoying and resenting F3 for the loss of nearly 10 million in revenues. March of last year, F4 held their "F4 Forever4 2006" concert for 4 nights in Hong Kong. According to practice, after every concert, the record company and the sponsors should release the CD, DVD and related goods within half a year. However, until now that one year already passed, not a single F4 HK concert product can be seen, that brought fans to decide to file a petition to the record company and sponsors for its immediate release, but until now, there has been no reply yet. According to sources, the problem is from Jerry. The release must have the consent of the artists and Jerry's "no answer" had caused all goods to be on halt, and causing F4 to loose nearly 10 million in income. Jerry not only wanted the good to be stopped but he is also even not willing for the F4 special album to be released. F4 and Sony BMG still have a record contract. Originally, their album should have been released early this year. Because Jerry reasoned out that he had no time to record because of his commitments, the release of their album has not been done until now. According to sources, Jerry is no longer willing to work with F4 again all because of his former manager Angie Chai. In his early years when he was still under Angie Chai, while most managers would get 20% commission, F4 management gets 50%. Despite the high commission, management remained indifferent to their needs, and didn't even offer the company vehicles for their use, that caused Jerry to be disappointed, and finally not willing to renew his contract anymore. After Jerry's contract expired, he set up his company Star Jerry and Lin Jian Yue actively recruited Jerry to be under his Dong Ya Management company. Lin even flew to Taiwan to discuss the contract with Jerry but Jerry still didn't agree. Fiannly, Jerry signed a contract with Faye Wong's manager Katie Chen in Hong Kong then followed with a contract he signed with Melvin Chua's ad agency in Shanghai, and even with Cai Wei Zhi who has superstars Maggie Cheung and Shu Qi in his wing. To be with his hated old enemy, and because Taiwan Tourism Bureau alloted a budget of 85 million to invite F4 as ambassadors for Japan and Korea as well as film an idol drama, Jerry was not willing to work, and rejected to film the drama because of Angie Chai. But for this 10-million worth of endorsement project, Jerry agreed to attend the press con, and join his former group ZaiZai (Vic Zhou), Vanness Wu and Ken Zhu on March 7, to start off the press conference in Japan. On the 9th, they will again fly to Korea to promote. Jerry's assistant Fenny said that the HK concert DVD was late that is why it failed to be released, and Jerry was misunderstood. In addition, Jerry is like F3 who are just invited as performers and cant manage for the release of those related goods.This problems should concern the record company and the sponsors. Fenny admitted that since last year, after the HK concert, Jerry had received many inquiries from fans on why the DVD has not been released yet. In fact, right after his every performance, Jerry would tell the sponsors to finish the audio-visual products right away for remembrance so he could share it together with his fans.

Super famous F4 as Tourism honorary ambassadors to lure fans to come to Taiwanand create an upsurge in Taiwanese wave
The Taiwanese idol group F4, because of their lead TV serial "Meteor Garden" that made them famous all over Asia, and even created an upsurge in Japan, that now the Taiwan Tourism sector had commissioned them to be as official tourism ambassadors , in the hope that their popularity can create a tourist influx in Taiwan. Japanese TV channels neither showed weakness as they got young idol Jun Masumoto to play the Japanese F4 counterpart but comparing the two, their acting were somewhat different. The Japanese version of F4 in terms of age and acting skill scored victory, while the Taiwanese version of F4, in terms of similarity to the manga characters won hands down. However, these two TV serials were televised in Taiwan, and Japan actually acquired it earlier with little success. In overseas success, Taiwanese F4 also attracted the attention of the Taiwan Tourism Society. When they invited F4 as tourism ambassadors, they hoped that through F4 they could attract foreign fans to come for Taiwan tour. In fact, getting idols to be the tourism ambassadors is most successful case is none other than Korea. Korean government actively supports the showbiz industry, and sells Korean TV serials to other Asian countries, creating a Korean wave. Through the TV serial "Winter Sonata" where Korean actor Bei Yong Jun got famous as a giant star allover Asia, it also attracted numerous fans to go to the filming sites of the TV serial in Korea, that won an upsurge in Korean tourism industry. Now, the Taiwanese government plans to have the same idol charms of F4 as tourism ambassadors, wishing to succeed in the Asian region, to create a new upsurge of the Taiwan wave.

However, Jerry hasn't walked away from his shadow all along, and would always turn down Lin's contract. [quote]Jerry just started SJ & he was busy with TH for the better part of 2005 & early 2006, its only in latter part of 2006 that he has time to focus on SJ. other Tw artiste mgt co. set up branches in HK or China or work with the local mgt co. there to get projects , so what Jerry is doing is normal business. Katie Chen, Melvin Chua & Lin Jian Yue are not small fries, so Jerry having a work r'ship with them is a good starting point for Jerry in building up his connections.Jerry made a wise decision in going solo, only then is he able to work towards his dreams.

World Vision Singapore Meeting With Jerry Yan ~ 29th Dec 2006
Wei : I would like to welcome all of you to World Vision International Singapore. I feel that the gathering that we have here today is a coming-together of love. All of you are here because everyone has a common concern especially for our Star of the Day. Could you please give the friend who is sitting beside you a hand to thank her for coming? I love it, who are those screaming? Put your hands up! But don’t go ‘There! There! She is the one who screamed!’. I hope that everyone can feel like you are at home today. In fact we are all here for a very special reason and so we have especially invited all of you here. It feels like a very intimate gathering.This is a very exclusive gathering that we have here this morning and we'd like to first of all also thank World Vision International Singapore. Let’s give some applause to thank our hardworking World Vision personnel. I can see many of them still have puffy eyes. In preparation for today, all of them are lacking in sleep. I am Jun Wei and I will host this gathering today so I hope that everyone will react more lively later on.Can I teach everyone 2 sounds? We see many photos and Jerry too. He is at. . . . . .Oh! Someone is screaming again, who is it? Don’t point and go ‘Here! Here! Here!’ she is so embarrassing!’ No that actually. That’s so spontaneous, so passionate! Looking at the photos, we feel all warm inside. In hearts there is a feeling that gets rapidly sent to our whole bodies and our pores are opened. So would everyone like to do a warm-up with me? Let have a try, when you look at some images, you are moved and you will feel so from your heart. I’ll count to 1, 2, 3, everyone sigh, a very gentle ‘ah’. . . . . .That’s great! I hope everyone has brushed their teeth this morning? Did anyone forget? If you smell any. . . . . different kind of smell just point to that person ‘Here! Here! Here!’ Ok, 1, 2, 3. ah . . . . . .That’s find actually. Ha ha! It was like rushing for the bus and the journey was too long and you are tired so ‘ah’. It’s a tired kind of ‘ah’. I hope that there are more emotions. When you see Jerry on the screen and he is carrying a little one and he feels saddened by the surroundings. That is the mood and the scenario so we would go, 1, 2, 3 ah. . . . . .Ha ha! More emotions this time.Ok, another sound is like when Jerry does something exceptional and we are so encouraged and so we hope that he would be a representative to influence more. That kind of astonishment that stems from the heart, WOW! Let’s try, 1, 2, 3, WOW! Ha ha! WOW! I can hear a ‘soprano’ WOW as there are ladies present. That’s great.I hope that all of you can release your emotions and moods as we are here to spread this very important message. When you were walking in here today, you could have seen the leaflets and advertisement posters and you would notice ‘World Vision International Singapore’. In fact the World Vision has helped very many children and it has this Child-Sponsor Program. Under this Child-Sponsor Program, all it requires is only $45 a month. You could ponder a little, you buy 2 CDs and that’s $45. You buy a skirt, it’s also $45. You have a meal at quite a nice restaurant and maybe with another person, it is $45 too. It is a very small amount but yet it is enough to sponsor a child in Asia or Africa. And it is not just him alone but his entire month’s expenses. Under the World Vision International Singapore ~ Child Sponsorship Program, this $45 not only helps the child and his surrounding people too.I’ve been the Africa with World Vision before and I realized $45 could be only the price of 2 CDs but for 30 whole days, for a month it could help the entire village. There is a Cantonese phrase ~ xian chuen yan, when we hear that in Cantonese it sounds so exaggerated. How could this help xian chuen yan, a whole village of people? But when I was over there, it was really so. For $45, that child can go to school, he make a choice whether to drink dirty water or not drink at all, be ill and eventually may even face death. If that $45 can help him, he not only can drink clean water, he can eat nutritious food as well. The people around him can be helped and his family won’t be so worse off.Finally what’s important is that we can help his xian chuen yan, his entire village to have grain, tools and have a means of survival. This morning we hope when everyone sees your Idol, you could also get a feel of what he has gone through in Mongolia. Not just for a child or the Sponsored Children or the more than 10 kids that Jerry sponsored but the spread the message. Is everyone ready with your emotions and your voices? Let’s welcome. . . . . . ah! Who is it? Not a single sound? Here! Here! It’s him! We are very happy to announce Asia’s First Child Sponsor Spokesperson, let’s welcome Jerry Yen.

XiaoS shops for kitchenwares ; ZaiZai with genuine smile on his face
Barbie and Dee Hsu have both had a rather sweet and happy Chinese New Year's. Despite the recent tragic passing of Hsu WeiLun, Barbie and Vic's affection has remained unchanged. On the afternoon of the day before yesterday, the young couple, together with Dee, met Patty Hou PeiCen for afternoon tea. Afterwards, they strolled off for some shopping, hand in hand. Looking very loving, Dee and husband Hsu YaJun (Mike) browsed the kitchenwares department (Note: "nian T T" actually means that they were "all over each other," if I'm not mistaken). It is rumored that she is following the advice of a famous fortune teller, who advised her not to move into her new house which, nearing three hundred million yuan, is fit for an emperor, before the New Year. Hsu MaMa denied yesterday, however, that they were following the advice of any fortune teller: "The new house is like an active construction site, with live hammering and banging. We're simply not convinced it's the right time to move in!"On the afternoon of the day before yesterday, a reporter spotted Barbie and Dee having tea with Patty Hou PeiCen. After they finished, ZaiZai and Mike split up respectively with Barbie and Dee. The four of them went to the shopping district to purchase some "daily necessities." Both pairs of "silver lovers" attracted the attention and stares of many passers-by. Nevertheless, while window-shopping, ZaiZai took the initiative, reaching out to take Barbie's hand in his own and following her wherever she went.
After Meeting Four Times, The Two Put Their Arms Around Each Other's Shoulders
ZaiZai's mood has been despondent lately due to the tragic passing of his ex-girlfriend Hsu WeiLun. For a while, he went around unshaven and looking like a "wandering spirit." But now, his face looked like the spring breeze-- vibrant and happy-- and so it looks as though his emotional scars have begun to heal.Hsu MaMa confirmed that ZaiZai's mood has improved a lot recently. She also said that she had suggested to Barbie in the past that she ought to take ZaiZai out more often... to take in the sun; this would help him recover. Barbie indicated that ZaiZai and she have already paid joint visits to their respective families this year, as well as mutually "bai nian" (pay their New Year's respects/calls). Obviously, their relationship/love has reached yet another level.Meanwhile, Dee and Mike browsed the kitchenwares department. At first, the two shopped separately; only after crossing paths four times did the two sweetly put their arms around each other. Afterwards, Dee rode off in Mike's new Lexus (worth 4 million) to go to their "di bao (literally, treasure of the emperor... I think this is the nickname for their new house)." Dee also happily revealed that her brief "vacation" (during the New Year's period) was made possible by her parents-in-law, who travelled north to care for Hsu QiaoNiu.
Their New Home Is Not Fully Decorated
Mike's family had previously bought two neighboring "di bao" suites on the 18th floor, the combined value of which nears three hundred million yuan. They then knocked down the adjoining walls between the suites to combine the two into one, thus making it easier for the parents-in-law to take care of their new granddaughter, Hsu QiaoNiu. A fortune teller had pronounced that the "feng shui" (geomancy) of "di bao" is quite good, but cautioned that the "climate" last year for moving and entering new places was unfavorable, particularly to Mike's business and the young child. Thus, the family decided to wait until after the New Year to move in.As for Hsu MaMa's denial of those motives, she said, "Ah, we were very busy before the New Year, so we've waited until now." Additionally, all the furnishing and decorating of the new home was left up to the discretion and management of Mike, who required perfection. The most important thing to him is that his family live in comfort and happiness. It had not been finished yet, so they were not able to move in until now.

As the youngest one in F4, the biggest difference distinguishing Vic from other F3 is, he is so honest about his relationship, which is impossible for other pop stars. His relationship with DaS Barbie Hsu has been almost 2 years, and keeps being very stable and sweet. The two always give good comments to the other and become the golden couple in the entertainment world. However, in the recent two years, Vic' love world is more mentioned than his career by the media. This year, Vic will not only keep effort on the TV shows, he'll also have a new personal musical CD, become the representative with other F3 for tourism bureau of Taiwan, and will have one F4 concert as well. He has also opened his person official website recently, which will let more chances to communicate with his fans.

Zaizai returns to his outgoing self when on date
The article is saying after the car accident and the death of Xu Weilun ex love Vic has been deeply affected, with the care and attention of Da S ZaiZai's mood has improved, a few days ago they were spotted going out hand in hand and joind Xiao S and her husband to buy homeware, with a warm atmosphere.The two sisters seperately went out with their respective partners a few days ago. The two sister and Patty Hou(?) went for lunch at Taipei, after lunch they met up with their partners. Xiao S has recently buoght two places and is currently being refurbished. During their free time the couple talk about the houseware.
the smile appears on the face once again
The two couples being on the streeet, naturally will draw attention. Because of Xu Weilun's recent death due to a car accident, ZaiZai's mood hit a low point, but after a while has passed ZaiZai will return back to his usual self. That day while going out with Da S, they held hands and talked alot with the occasiional smile appearing , ZiaZai makes Da S happy, looks like the previously down ZaiZai has recovered. Hsu Mama received an interview yesterday and agreed that Da S should go out with Zaizai to get a bit of sun to help with his mood.
Sweetly resting on the shoulder
As for Xiao S, she will only be able to move in to the new home after the new year. To this Hsu Mama says"Because they were busy before the new year that's why it's dragged on until now, the new home is still like a construciton site, still things going on, the move hasn'tbeen decided yet"Xiao S and Mike when looking for houseware originally walked their own way, but after seeing there was no one around she rested her arm on his shoulder, the sweetness level can be that of Da S and ZaiZai. After the date Mike got a new Lexus worth HK$ 1 million to take Da S and ZaiZai back to the Hsu home, and the husband and wife returned home.

The Hospital now showing in Los Angeles, USA!posted by simivalley, chunyee and yong yuan xu mi of www.yanchengxu.net/bbs (Mainland Jerry's Family)follow up report by forevergreen of www.nbbbs.com (Jerry's Harbor)screenshots and summarized by Jerry's KingdomGood news! Just received a phone call from a friend that Channel 18 Los Angeles started showing the White Tower!. Channel 18 is a major TV station in the LA and its neighboring areas, but does not comprise the bay area and San Francisco. This is no different with other TV stations like ABC and NBC, which requires no extra pay for view, but this TV station is special because it is multi-lingual, catering to American immigrants. Many area-based TV stations in San Francisco, New York or Washington have non-English programs . LA is concentrated with immigrant minority groups and has rather many TV stations compared to western channels. Channel 18 has Chinese, Korean and Japanese programs, including news, art features, soap operas but the time schedules are actually different. The 7-8 air time is considered the golden time slot, because there are many Chinese viewers. But because this drama release has no English sub-titles, not many viewers outside the Chinese community can enjoy it, unlike other Korean and Japanese dramas of Channel 18 which all have English-subtitles. However, showing it in America is already a great victory, Moreover, Its only now that Channel 18 was really fast, and wishing everyone could see their hard work and Jerry's progress, ***********************Every week night, 7:00 to 8:00 pm Pacific time. in channel 18 Los Angeles --- White Tower The Hospital is now playing in Metro Los Angeles. This is the biggest Asian TV station in Los Angeles. I am sure Jerry will capture a lot of fans again! **************This TV channel has already shown some Chinese serials already. A friend told that this was the same channel that aired Meteor Garden a few years ago. Their website is http://www.la18.tv while their program guide is at http://www.la18.tv/program_guide.aspx There is the 7-8 pm slot written with The Hospital/White Tower - Mandarin Drama .

F4's Vic Zhou (from left), Jerry Yan, Vanness Wuand Ken Zhu first reunited for their Hong Kong"F4 Forever Four" Concert last year
After Jerry formed his own studio last year, fans thought it was already hopeless for an F4 reunion. However, the 4 will be in the same stage again to promote Taiwan tourism , estimated to leave for Japan, Korea, etc starting on March 6, for the press conference of their endorsement for Taiwan Tourism. Regarding this matter, Jerry's consultant manager Jiang Yi Peng confirmed, " He would definitely endorse it. This year however, his new solo album and a new drama series requires preparations, so his other related promo projects have not been fixed yet. "
After one year, F4 will finally reunite for Taiwan tourism, starting off right after the Spring Festival to go to Japan and Korea for an endorsement press con. After their Hong Kong concert, the 4 became very hard to reunite again at the same stage. Even though Taiwan fans didn't see it, the 4 secretly agreed to work together as before.
Concert is also plannedBesides the joint endorsement, the 4 will popularize Taiwan tourism in different batches, in shooting the idol drama and hosting programs. Zai Zai is planned to shoot the idol drama. Ken, because of his culinary skills, will be the most possible host for a foreign-location American food program. Even though Jerry is now resting, he would prepare for his new drama after the Chinese lunar year, and also discuss with a Japanese partner regarding a drama project, as well as the pre-production work for his new solo album. Apart from his endorsement with the Tourism Office, he would also join the shooting of the drama and the TV hosting but won't take any major part in it. Jiang Yi Peng stressed, "We will try hard to coordinate as much as we are needed"
There are rumors that on April 15, F4 will hold a concert at the Arena but will be only limited to Japanese and Korean fans, and simultaneously pushing for a tourist influx. Yesterday, Sponsor Over-all Head Hou Wen Yan said," The concert details have not been finalized yet."

With Jerry's virtuous shy personality, he always shyly covers his mouth and smiles
After nearly a month-long of text and internet voting, Sina Mainland China reported yesterday its first "Chinese World Star King" poll results, where Jerry Yan narrowly won the second placer against Bei Yong Jun (handsome Bei). The handsome Bei got the season's third placer, and following from his winning at the Shanghai's Dong Fang TV Voting last year was Ma Tian Yu in first place.
Mainland China Poll VotingThis Mainland China poll voting got close to a total of 3 million SMS and internet votes. Jerry emerged as a dark horse, who didn't even land a third place during the first three days of the voting until the voting deadline. However, during the final several days, fans' SMS votes blew up in number, finally getting 70% of the total votes, that lead him to win over the then second placer handsome Bei. In addition, Jerry also won the first place for "Taiwan Star King" title, "Hong Kong-Taiwan Star King" crown and four other categories.
Wu Zun and ZaiZai only got few votesFrom the start, Bei Yong Zun had continously been at the top lead for internet voting that is why he also got the title for "Korean Star King", "World Internet Star King" and some more other titles. Too bad he was still no match against Ma Tian Yu and Jerry Yan in the World Star King Ranking. In behalf of Jerry, his operations manager Fenny thanked the fans who joined the poll voting. When Jerry knew that the poll voting was composed of international stars, he felt especially happy. In this voting, some interesting facts were observed - Singing Groups didn't fare well as those of individual stars like May Day, Twins, SHE who didn't even land in the top 100. Instead, Wu Zun of Fahrenheit and Vic Zhou of F4 landed at the top 50. Da S was no different and only landed in Top 25, while on the 37th and 38th place were Jay Chou and Rain respectively.

At a poll voting for the Most Wanted to Date With , Jerry Yan votes leads the charts
As Valentines Day comes near, who would fans choose as the Most Wanted to Date ? A media group held a two-week long " Most Wanted to Date for Valentines Day" poll voting, with two general divisions for male and female artists category, and where poll voting will end on Feb 13. To date, it has attracted over 20 million votes sent by fans for polling. Certified lady Killer Jerry Yan and SHE member Hebe is now leading, and eventually contending for the Dream Man and Woman for 2007 championship crown. Fans can update the latest results through the " Zhui Xing Survey Ofiice".
Intensely ompeting for the "Most Wanted to Date (Male Artists)" were the three widely- popular handsome men from the Taiwan, Japan and Korea. From the different handsome types who entered the top voting, its worth seeing that there was a mobilization of a strongly powerful block of fans for Taiwanese Idol Drama King Jerry Yan, Sam Wang (JK: from 5566) and Wu Zun (JK: from Fahrenheit) whoall came out with about 100,000 votes. It strongly leads like a search for Japanese and Korean Idol. Because of the Taiwanese local drama wave which helped in the increase of its popularity, this trend is evidently leading to a a "Taiwanese wave" gradually overpowering the "Korean wave" and the "Japanese invasion".

Two nights ago, after attending Xu Wei Lun's commemorative concert earlier, Li Wei invited in some friends for basketball, and finally came out sporting a mustache.
In the court, his friends Mike He and Bao Long Jerry Yan both went over. After Wei Lun's death, Li Wei's friends knew he was so grieving, so when he invited in for basketball to ease his mind, his non-showbiz and showbiz friends all trooped in at Taipei's Dai Jia riverside park basketball court for Li Wei.
Halfway during the game, it rained and so Li Wei and Mike ran to sit down at the sides and female friends went towards them to offer umbrellas. Li Wei kept laughing but the most touching was when his showbiz friend Jerry Yan received his call, he immediately proceeded to the place. and joined the bull fight. Wearing a Tshirt and breech sports shorts Jerry appeared with exposed charming smiles, competed with Li Wei in the field. With his good friends coming for support, Li Wei cheered happily.
Snatching Jerry Yan's contract? Peter Ho cried foul

Keeping up with the valentine mood is Peter Ho's new song "Hao Xiang Dui Ni Shou (I want to say to you)" and "Yi Feng Xin (A Letter)", and a certain silver jewelry company chose him to endorse its products. However, he didn't think that it could cause a stir among Jerry's fans, because in the past, this commercial was Jerry's.
Seeing the reactions of Jerry's fans on the net, Peter Ho felt he was unjustly accused of having "snatched the livelihood" of Jerry and immediately clarified that he would only endorse the product from February to April. He also praised and felt proud for Jerry's hard work, and wished that Jerry's fans could understand, so that it won't create an issue out of both of them.
On Feb 10 at 2 pm, Peter Ho will be at the K Mall, Taipei parking lot for his album launching and press conference. Zhang Nuo La will also be with him in the stage.

MIA saw Peter Ho's image and thought it would fit their criteria. In addition, they thought that Peter Ho's duet with Zhang Nuo La in his new album goes well with their silver jewelry theme, so they immediately hired Peter as their Valentine endorser. After discussion with Peter's management, he would endorse for MIA on February, March and April.
He didnt realize that along with MIA's moves to change Jerry's posters with Peter's pictures in their display counters and show rooms, also created a stir among Jerry fans, and cried how come Peter snatched Jerry's contract and sent messages of disappointment at the MIA website!
According to sources, after Jerry's contract with MIA expired, they also looked for Jerry to renew it. Manager Ah Ben said: Regardless whether or not MIA will renew Jerry's contract, maybe they will still look for a new endorser. Peter Ho and MIA will just work together for 3 months. In the future, maybe MIA will take Peter to other areas, but presently, it can't be in Taiwan.
After Jerry formed his own studio last year, fans thought it was already hopeless for an F4 reunion. However, the 4 will be in the same stage again to promote Taiwan tourism , estimated to leave for Japan, Korea, etc starting on March 6, for the press conference of their endorsement for Taiwan Tourism. Regarding this matter, Jerry's consultant manager Jiang Yi Peng confirmed, " He would definitely endorse it. This year however, his new solo album and a new drama series requires preparations, so his other related promo projects have not been fixed yet. "
After one year, F4 will finally reunite for Taiwan tourism, starting off right after the Spring Festival to go to Japan and Korea for an endorsement press con. After their Hong Kong concert, the 4 became very hard to reunite again at the same stage. Even though Taiwan fans didn't see it, the 4 secretly agreed to work together as before.
Concert is also planned
Besides the joint endorsement, the 4 will popularize Taiwan tourism in different batches, in shooting the idol drama and hosting programs. Zai Zai is planned to shoot the idol drama. Ken, because of his culinary skills, will be the most possible host for a foreign-location American food program. Even though Jerry is now resting, he would prepare for his new drama after the Chinese lunar year, and also discuss with a Japanese partner regarding a drama project, as well as the pre-production work for his new solo album. Apart from his endorsement with the Tourism Office, he would also join the shooting of the drama and the TV hosting but won't take any major part in it. Jiang Yi Peng stressed, "We will try hard to coordinate as much as we are needed"
There are rumors that on April 15, F4 will hold a concert at the Arena but will be only limited to Japanese and Korean fans, and simultaneously pushing for a tourist influx. Yesterday, Sponsor Over-all Head Hou Wen Yan said," The concert details have not been finalized yet."

Summarized by Jerry's Kingdom
With Jerry's virtuous shy personality, he always shyly covers his mouth and smiles
After nearly a month-long of text and internet voting, Sina Mainland China reported yesterday its first "Chinese World Star King" poll results, where Jerry Yan narrowly won the second placer against Bei Yong Jun (handsome Bei). The handsome Bei got the season's third placer, and following from his winning at the Shanghai's Dong Fang TV Voting last year was Ma Tian Yu in first place.
Mainland China Poll VotingThis Mainland China poll voting got close to a total of 3 million SMS and internet votes. Jerry emerged as a dark horse, who didn't even land a third place during the first three days of the voting until the voting deadline. However, during the final several days, fans' SMS votes blew up in number, finally getting 70% of the total votes, that lead him to win over the then second placer handsome Bei. In addition, Jerry also won the first place for "Taiwan Star King" title, "Hong Kong-Taiwan Star King" crown and four other categories.
Wu Zun and ZaiZai only got few votesFrom the start, Bei Yong Zun had continously been at the top lead for internet voting that is why he also got the title for "Korean Star King", "World Internet Star King" and some more other titles. Too bad he was still no match against Ma Tian Yu and Jerry Yan in the World Star King Ranking. In behalf of Jerry, his operations manager Fenny thanked the fans who joined the poll voting. When Jerry knew that the poll voting was composed of international stars, he felt especially happy. In this voting, some interesting facts were observed - Singing Groups didn't fare well as those of individual stars like May Day, Twins, SHE who didn't even land in the top 100. Instead, Wu Zun of Fahrenheit and Vic Zhou of F4 landed at the top 50. Da S was no different and only landed in Top 25, while on the 37th and 38th place were Jay Chou and Rain respectively.

At a poll voting for the Most Wanted to Date With , Jerry Yan votes leads the charts
As Valentines Day comes near, who would fans choose as the Most Wanted to Date ? A media group held a two-week long " Most Wanted to Date for Valentines Day" poll voting, with two general divisions for male and female artists category, and where poll voting will end on Feb 13. To date, it has attracted over 20 million votes sent by fans for polling. Certified lady Killer Jerry Yan and SHE member Hebe is now leading, and eventually contending for the Dream Man and Woman for 2007 championship crown. Fans can update the latest results through the " Zhui Xing Survey Ofiice".
Intensely ompeting for the "Most Wanted to Date (Male Artists)" were the three widely- popular handsome men from the Taiwan, Japan and Korea. From the different handsome types who entered the top voting, its worth seeing that there was a mobilization of a strongly powerful block of fans for Taiwanese Idol Drama King Jerry Yan, Sam Wang (JK: from 5566) and Wu Zun (JK: from Fahrenheit) whoall came out with about 100,000 votes. It strongly leads like a search for Japanese and Korean Idol. Because of the Taiwanese local drama wave which helped in the increase of its popularity, this trend is evidently leading to a a "Taiwanese wave" gradually overpowering the "Korean wave" and the "Japanese invasion".

LEEHOM WANG TO REPLACE JERRY YAN AND JAY CHOU AS PEPSI'S NEW ENDORSER
According to the newest article from a magazine, Pepsi might replace ??? (Jerry Yan) and ??? (Jay Chou) with ??? (Leehom Wang) as their new endorser.After the embarassing incident that happened at the Golden Melody Awards in 2005, Leehom's popularity has been highly increasing. Last year he has grabbed the "Best Male Vocalist" award at the Golden Melody Awards, and throned as Music King for the second time. Oscar winning director ?? (Ang Lee) also gave Leehom a very important role as second male lead in the new film, ?? (Lust, Caution) that is due to release world-wide this October. According to a very new article in a magazine, Pepsi is attracted to Leehom's image and popularity and decides to use him to replace Jerry Yan and Jay Chou as one of Pepsi's more prominent endorsers.According to sources, Pepsi's current endorsers are ??? (Jolin Tsai), Jay Chou, Jerry Yan, ??? (Edison Chen), ??? (Louis Koo), ??? (Nicholas Tse), RAIN/BI, etc. Adding the salaries of the seven major stars, it exceeds $100,000,000 NT. Because of this the manufacturers are careful with their endorsers and are very strict with them. Lately there has been rumors saying that the manufacturers wanted to change endorsers, and they are Jerry Yan and Jay Chou.According to a source, both Jerry Yan and Jay Chou are extremely hard to handle, mainly because of their picky requirements and unbearable attitudes. A crew member pointed that earlier on in 2002 when Pepsi found F4 to endorse their drink, their individual salaries were about $2,500,000 NT. But since over the years F4's popularity has slightly dropped, they only had the choice to renew their contract with only Jerry Yan. However Jerry requested that the salary was to raise up to $3,500,000 NT, giving the manufacturers a pain in the neck. Aside, Jerry Yan also constantly complained about the costumes and script and would always request for a staff meeting discussing about endorsement changes, which had annoyed the manufacturers much.Jay Chou began endorsing for Pepsi since 2004. At first Jay Chou was expecting to be paired with ??? (Sammi Cheng), but he became disappointed when he found out that he would actually be working with Louis Koo, Edison Chen, and ??? (Vanness Wu). During filming hours Jay would pull a long and annoyed face. The manufacturers were slightly displeased with his subtly impolite attitude, but because of Jay's current elite status in the entertainment industry, they decided to renew the contract with him anyways.Over the last two years Leehom's popularity has increased in an alarming rate. Both his concerts in town and overseas has experienced exploding welcoming rates, breaking records. Adding on to being part of Ang Lee's new film, his status is pretty stable and strong. If Leehom was to endorse Pepsi, his salary will most definitely be higher than Jerry's, but will still be lower than Jay's. Pepsi's spokesperson, Fion, said that the contracts with Jerry and Jay are still going. When asked if Pepsi will add a new member to the endorsements, she said that it is not convenient to reveal at the moment.

pls vote for Jerry

Zaizai interview in the Japanese magazine TV Taro, published on Dec. 19, 2006'07
Asian Star Special Interview
Vic ChouVic leads 2006 HuaLiu (It means Chinese Wave.) with releases of his personal DVD and solo photo book. His long-awaited Movie 'Hu Die Fei' is getting ready to be unveiled in 2007. It looks that he will attract even more attention.In 2006, Vic, a.k.a Zaizai, has been active in Japan with fan club events, a DVD, and a photo book. He plays an arrogant heir to a conglomerate in TV drama 'Silence,' in which he shows charisma never seen before.WeiYi is a role with depth. Please watch the changes in him"I consider WeiYi has great depth. Both his outward appearance and inside emotions have gone through drastic changes. At the beginning, people don't like him because of his arrogance, but actually he is kind inside. You will see the kind side of him in the second half of the drama. Please watch the changes in him."He met ShenShen by chance, a girl who couldn't talk. When they meet again, his dormant kind heart gradually comes back alive. ShenShen is played by Korean actress Park Eun Hye who became famous from 'A Jewel in Palace.'"She was very perceptive. She quickly understood what was required of her. For example, at the beginning of the drama, there is a scene in which I approach her pretending to kiss her forcibly. At the time of filming the scene, I wasn't familiar with her and was wondering how far I could go. But she immediately guessed what I wanted to do and took my acting very well. When acting opposite her, my acting looks very natural."===========Moreover, in order to understand how WeiYi would be suffered from liver cancer, he did research on the disease."It was about the scene in which my stomach aches and I have to suffer the pain from it. Some people pointed out that it was strange. They said, 'it is liver cancer, why do you press your stomach?' A doctor who was watching the drama said for me, 'His acting is correct. That's how the symptom is.' It looks that it is recognized that I understood the disease and acted accordingly. "He looks really glad about it when he says those words. It reveals how confident he is in being an actor. Now he is working hard at his first ever movie, 'Hu Die Fei.""TV dramas are played on small screens, so there are many close-ups. But movies are shown on big screens, any tiny movement of actors are clearly shown on the screens. So, I've to keep in mind that the acting requires the whole body."Has other F4 member, Vanness, who has more seniority in the movie field, offered some advices to you?"Vanness has shared his experiences with me. But he has been in action movies. He taught me explosion and wire works which are a little different from what I wanted to know (Laugh)."

In this headline story, the reporter reported that a tourist might spot Jerry watching NBA basketball game with a male companion and then walking in the street with Ms. Lin in Hollywood on New Year Eve. 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.

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.

"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.

The headline of today's Liberty TimesEntertainment King Was Criticized For Not Keeping Old Relationship In Mind Yan Cheng Xu Cruel-Heartedly Rejected Chai Zhi F4's Reunion To Endorse Tourism Aborted
In the news article, the reporter wrote that as Jerry refused to participate in the Tourist Bureau's idol drama, Jerry was criticized for not keeping the old relationship in mind, and the rough relationship between Jerry and AC has become the topic again. 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 changed
If 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 fees
F4 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 yet
Mayday NT$8.32 millions - Tickets for their May 05 concerts were sold out. May have more concerts this coming May
FahrenheitNT$5 millions - The talent fee requested is reasonable for newcomer, so quite a no. of production companies are interested. It is still under discussion
5566 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 Year

Chai 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 Ho
The 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 Celebrates Birthday Brings out fans' money to do good works
Getting Yan Cheng Xu (Jerry) to do even a bad deed won't loose his remaining powerful influence, as his Japanese fans all together donated NT$360,000, Taiwanese fans also donated NT$130,000, and HK fans then followed with sponsoring 30 children. Those far-flung Mongolia children personally made greeting cards to express their thanks and Thai fans presented him with the national Thai costume, gold necklace and dried mangoes. However, the "shining" necklace scared Jerry and frankly called out that it was "too precious!" Jerry is currently in Japan for work, as HK fans gave their congratulation birthday messages in huge electronic billboards. There were even fans who said." I won't forget you, I still have faith in you!" where people connoted it rumored girlfriend LZL's TV commercial.

Jerry Yan to celebrate his 30 years low-profiled on New Year
As charity ambassador for World Vision, Jerry Yan got busy flying through to every Asian country for the last 2 months. Not having public appearances for a long time, he however, made every step in being all-seen abroad. His last appearance was in Thailand, where the people and the WV staff warmly received him. Because of his strong drawing power, many locals turned sponsors to follow him. On New year he would turn 30, and plans to be low-profiled and just be with friends to celebrate. For this year's projects, Du city and China both invited him to perform there. However, Jerry gracefully turned them down because he said that his people abroad would to do pre-production work for his new movie.Last year, Jerry celebrated his birthday shooting for The Hospital. Many people from the staff and crew celebrated with him at the set. After making many charity work this year, Jerry's ideals also changed, as he now wants to spend less and plans to celebrate in a simple, low-key way. His manager also revealed that next year, he would engage in many fan gatherings, starting immediately next month.

Charity for idols' sake
More fans are helping pop idols raise funds for their pet causes
By Chang May ChoonDecember 24, 2006
FOR years, Ms Adeline Lim has dreamt of sponsoring a poor, needy child, but she was unable to commit.Last month, she finally did it - to support her favourite Taiwanese actor Jerry Yen.Appointed by World Vision as its first Asia Regional Child Sponsorship Ambassador, the F4 star was in town last month to promote his worthy cause.In response, Ms Lim, 37, quickly gathered five members of the Only F4 fan club to pool together $540 to sponsor a Mongolian child for a year.Jerry Yan (above) fan Adeline Lim (below left) with the identity card of the Mongolian child she and five other fan club members have adopted. -- HEDY KHOOThe administrative officer told The New Paper: 'We're doing it for Jerry as his birthday present next year. I've thought about doing it for a long time, but I've always held back. Now (that Jerry's endorsing), I might as well do it and extend it to the fan club.'Ms Lim is not alone.All over Asia, fans of pop stars have been actively raising funds for charities endorsed by their idols, and the trend is especially prevalent among the female fans of popular male stars.After all, women seem more prone to extreme fan behaviour, to the point of flying thousands of kilometres to see their idol for just two minutes.But at the same time, women also tend to be more likely to contribute to charity in the name of idol worship.Ms Tiffany Oh, a fan of Korean actor Bae Yong Joon and a founding member of his Singapore fan club, Joon's Family, said: 'If the fan club is doing good, people will also think better of the artiste.'(Charity) is a good way to contribute to society and it shows we don't spend all our money on him. It reflects well on him.'Joon's Family has been raising funds among its own members every year to donate to charities like The Straits Times' School Pocket Money Fund and Breast Cancer Foundation.Meanwhile, Jerry's star power has convinced 33 of his fans here to become new child sponsors in just one month.He was here last month to share his personal experience of visiting his own sponsored child in Mongolia and raise greater awareness of World Vision.Earlier in July, Singaporean fans of South Korean actor Lee Byung Hun collected about $400 to give to a needy Chinese temple in his name. It was his birthday that month, and the donation was their 'present' to him, said Ms Adeline Siau of the LBH.SG fan club.'He's quite involved in charitable causes, so it inspires us to follow his example,' she added.Byung Hun is known to be a strong Unicef supporter and he also makes big donations to other charities.When he reportedly donated 100 million won ($160,000) to a society that helps disaster victims in Korea in August, his fans from Hong Kong and China topped up with another 1.1 million won.And when Yong Joon and fellow actor So Ji Sup donated a combined 82 million won to a hospital in Seoul for the poor and destitute, fans from Hong Kong, Japan and as far away as Canada raised 4.7 million won for the same hospital.GENDER NOT IMPORTANTYet, when asked if the hunks make better spokesmen, two humanitarian organisations insisted they do not pick ambassadors based on gender.World Vision Singapore, for instance, has appointed Gurmit Singh, Kit Chan, Joi Chua and Eunice Olsen as its celebrity ambassadors. Executive director Sim Cher Young said they were picked as their image was deemed suitable for the organisation.It just happened that we have more female (ambassadors) , but we're never gender-biased. A man can do as good a job as the woman, and you can't say the man can achieve much more.'As for choosing Jerry, Mr Sim said it is not so much to tap on his massive fan base but rather due to his positive personality and enthusiasm in volunteer work.Jerry himself also seems to have realised that his role as a World Vision ambassador means reaching out to beyond his fans.'My family and I used to depend on others for help, so I realise how important it is to lend a helping hand,' he told The New Paper during a group interview.'I'm doing what I can to reach out to people, not just people who like me, and spread the message that there are many children out there who need help.'Mr Izuan M Rais, who is the head of the international relief division for Mercy Relief, also agreed that gender is not important in choosing an ambassador.He said: 'Girls will go ga-ga over guys, but our market segment is not just girls only but guys too.'(A male ambassador) can educate, reach out and inspire, and he is associated with the outdoors and legwork.'But if you're asking for money, look for a woman. She has the right emotive elements and she opens up the pocket deeper.'Mr Izuan should know. He worked with Singaporean songbird Stefanie Sun, who was Mercy Relief's ambassador, last year. He said Stefanie not only helped to raise the organisation' s media profile, but she also devoted time to several humanitarian projects and worked with the volunteers.Mercy Relief also managed to raise $25,000 through the sale of 1,000 'Stefanie Sun Bears', which were bought up by her fans in Singapore, China and Taiwan.So will Mercy Relief appoint a male ambassador next?Mr Izuan said they are still on the look out, but he reckoned zany radio deejay Glenn Ong would fit the bill.'Glenn has the personality to inspire the young generation to do something to benefit others.'

As Bao Long goes solo, F3 follows to set up their own official websites
After Jerry Yan went solo, "F4ever International Fans Official Website" will then also disband, as the website already announced the suspension of application for new members. Old memberships will continue to take effect but only up to the end of this month. At the start of next year, Zaizai, Ken and Vanness will each set up their own individual official websites to continue spreading F3 charm with the people and in order to establish its strong idol base. Recently, fans also went all out in garnering votes from the website.

AC must had gotten really bored with her life....she now wants to die in the hands of Jerry fans
Angie Cai sets aside her busy schedule with "Zhaun Jiao" as she is now also busy with F4's idol drama with the Tourism Office which was already put into operation earlier. She worriedly said, " F4 would all be busy with work next year. Moreover, Jerry is down again with a heavy cold and we are awaiting for him to get well first so we may be able to push through with the talks. I'm afraid that there would be a problem with the Tourism Office's request that it should be shown at the Japanese TV stations within a year.

"Denied that each F4 had different talent fees
With regards to rumors that Jerry and F3 had different talent fees for making the idol drama, she said, " This talent fees part have not been discussed yet, but if all their talent fees will be the equal, all their scenes must then be the same. If it is not equal, of course the one with more work should be paid more! But in this present endorsement, it should not be because of money considerations." F3 manager Yao Yi Jun also said, "For the honor and glory of endorsing for Taiwan's tourism, Angie Chai has quite a lot of things to handle. I think it is also reasonable to make matters on talent fees not to be the most important factor."

Channel U Singapore
The Hospital debuts on 03 February 2007, weekends at 7:30 pm
The Hospital's debut will now be on Feb 3 (instead of Jan 27) at 7.30 pm, this was because of the pre-empting of Jewel in the Palace on Sunday. This coupled with the re-scheduling of the Golden Horse Awards 2006 to this Saturday at 7.30 pm, the net result is that Jewel in the Palace was pushed back for one week.

To gather F4 in one stage, Pepsi will be compelled to spend 45 M to extend their contract.
Taiwan Next Magazine 290
Originally, Pepsi Cola planned to hold a concert, reconciling F4 once again on the same stage, but because the concert that was planned for November 7, 2006 was postponed, they will be going over the contract date of F3 as spokespersons, in order to do the concert, Pepsi Cola has to extend F3 for another year, earning for them at least NT$45 million. Pepsi Cola has spent around NT250 Million to sign up Rain, Jolin Tsai, Jay Chou, Nicholas Tse, Louis Koo Edison Chen and F4 to form their 10 big stars. They originally planned a concert for November 7, 2006 at the Beijing's Great Hall of the People. The ten stars were supposed to perform at the "Mu Qin Shui Jiao Ai Xin Concert." It will also be the first appearance of the 10 stars in Mainland China. Not long ago, they asked the consumers to participate in a raffle event so that they can get a ticket for the event, but at the last minute the sponsor stopped all preparations. The price of gathering F3 is really high.This program's climax has been in secret, coordinating Zhou Yu Min and Wu Jian Hua's schedule hoping that the 10 big stars will be on the same stage. They wanted to bring back F4 together to mark the big celebration of Pepsi's 25 years in Mainland China. Rumors have said that the next concert will be January or February of next year, it seems if Pepsi Cola wants to get Zhu Xiao Tian or Zhou Yu Min, Wu Jian Hao to participate in the said activity that they have to exert a lot of effort and a great deal of money. F3's contract with Pepsi Cola will expire at the end of the year. Pepsi and F3 have already cooperated for 4 years, to be their spokesperson, the fee of each F3 ranges from NT$ 15 to 20 million.According to the announcement, if they will have a concert next year; they will invite Zhu Xiao Tian, then Pepsi Cola needs to spend NT$ 15 to 20 million to get him for another year. Furthermore, if Pepsi Cola wants to complete its ten "Pepsi Big Stars" (originally they planned to showcase the Pepsi 8 big stars but they manage to get the schedule of Zhou Yu Min and Wu Jian Hua) they need to add about NT$ 30 to 40 million or if they want F3 they need to spend between NT$ 45 to 60 million.For F4 member Yan Cheng Xu, there is no problem his contract will not expire at the end of the year. The reason is when he went on his solo flight, he signed a contract with Pepsi for another 6 months, his contract will expire next year. There is no intention to take advantage to earn big; we are in an awkward position.Zhu Xiao Tian's management company Fu Long expressed: "They are very much willing to join and hope to attend the concert but they don't know what the status will be next year. We need to consult with Pepsi Cola, but up until now we don't have a specific solution to it. Fulong doesn't want to exploit on the situation, we don't want to be spokesperson in this way. Fion, the person in charge of Pepsi Company in Hong Kong is so stressed on the matter, this is so complicated. We have arranged for everything, but there is no right or wrong here, participants list is still being arranged right now its not convenient to speak, We have a good relationship with Fulong, to continue or not to continue there is no final word on it yet!

MP3 Download Ranking attracts customers
Asian Heavenly group F4 has for a long time now had not appeared together since their debut 5 years ago. Following their idol drama "Meteor Garden" , it even created Japanese fever and became famous in this eastern ocean. Starting off the "Taiwanese Flow" , it then released 10,000 sets of the "360 degrees turn around of F4's 5 Glorious Years Album Collection." last September in Japan. Within 3 days, sales went briskly and got all sold out. Taiwan then prepared to issue an album collection last November and collected selections from over the past 5 years projects of F4. It contains 2 CDs of F4 albums with 24 songs selection, and 4 special interviews, and 2 DVDs with each of their own 12 MVs and behind the scene footages. But presently, F4 has no time for the album collection promo, as Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou and Ken Zhu had all been busy lately acting in their TV serials, while Vanness Wu was equally occupied with his new solo album. Next year, it is hoped that F4 will will release a brand-new album once again. Besides the release of the singer's personal album collection, there were also many albums released years ago. But because a lot of various types of "MP3 download listing" of the album collections are now available at the internet this year, consumers can now be able to download and listen to these songs which had been the most generally used method of adapting to the market trends. Record companies will package the most popular songs in the album for MP3 download, hoping to attract more consumers.

Hello, Want to share some memorable moments during Jerry's visit to Jakarta. - Among female fans who waited for jerry's arrival, there were also some men. I heard one guy talking to his friend that jerry's flight will be arrive at 13.50. - At the beginning, fans who waited for Jerry's arrival were only from our group, then more and more people came. I just amazed with the number of people who came to airport to meet Jerry, considering that it¡¦s weekday and office hours. As far as I saw, the number of people who came was more than when Jerry came to Jakarta in July. . wow, that¡¦s because Jerry's charm.- Jerry's smiling widely all the way, although start from he came out until he got into the car, many many people tried to get close to him. At one point, jerry¡¦s group (jerry, his two assistants and security team), supposed to turn left to the exit door, but since so many people around, they went straight a few meters before turned to the correct direction. - saw a lot of slippers scattered around.. I read this is an usual scene at the airport everytime Jerry arrives..ha. ha. -He only rest for a while before preparing for the press conference at 6.00 pm. - the press conference began with traditional dance by children, After that a clip of his visit to Mongol then children in West Papua and Singkawang (West Kalimantan) shown. Then, Q-A session for media. - After media, then audience's Q-A session. As you read the article posted, one fan came forward during the asking question session. I translated her experience which posted in Bahasa Indonesia (thanks to teh iphy): Since the beginning of the even, I planned to ask a question, but I don't know what question to ask. I discussed with a friend who was sitting beside me. As soon as the host said it's the audience part to ask a question, I straight away raised my hand. -After the host asked me to step to the microphone, I nervously got up from my chair and tried hardly to recall what question I want to ask because suddenly my mind was blank.. I didn't remember anything (later, I remember that I was suppose to say, we will always support you). -I was so nervous that the host teased me to take a deep breath.. then I had a strength to say, " jerry, wo shi zhen de zhen de hen ai ni ".. then I asked the question. To close my question, I said, xie xie Jerry, I love you. Ooh, I never dream that I would I ever have this chance to express my feeling to him. Thank God, I didn't faint.- Next session, 10 lucky people to achieve child's sponsored profile from Jerry. Among them, there was a Japanese fan. - One of the indo lucky fan there was a lady who's very shy.. she was very shy that she didn't dare to see Jerry's face when they shook hands.. Jerry tapped on her back.. it's like he encouraged her not to shy . - After Jerry received souvenirs from WV Indonesia director, a certificate and a traditional shawl from north Sumatra, our family gave him a certificate of child sponsors, birthday present and birthday cake. - Before Jerry went out from the press conf. room he waved to us.. oh.. so sweet. - Yes, the organizer locked us for a while.. but most of us just enjoyed ourselves by sharing feelings about this event and jerry. Honestly, I didn't know that we¡¦ve been locked until for quite some time. - After press conference, he still had three interview with one tv and two printed media. Ooh, he must be very tired.- we also sent him off to the airport. When we and Jerry's group walked along the corridor to the gate, a man was carrying a child. Jerry patted the child's cheek without her father¡¦s knowledge. We all laughed and said, "so sweet!"- after jerry entered gate 1, before he passed the x ray he lifted his both hands, smiled and waved to us.. oooooh, very very nice. - bye bye Jerry, thank you for your visit and God bless you. Take care.

Jerry Yan chased a Korean star and felt happy to see Jin Hui Zi

Hadn't thought that Taiwanese idol and Heavenly King Jerry Yan (left) is also a super idol! Yesterday afternoon, he and "Goong Princess Hours" "Her Majesty Queen" Jin Hui Zi (right) happily met each other and both exchanged tips on charity work. Jerry rarely looks as if he is the fan but he also didn't forget to ask for Jin Hua Zi's autograph signed on the book. The travel-worn Jerry Yan flew off to Seoul, Korea the other day. Now, in order to hold a World Vision activity, he was at the ARKO Art theater yesterday afternoon and met with World Vision Korea Goodwill Ambassadress, veteran Korean actress Jin Hui Zi. Jin Hui Zi boasted and praised Jerry who looked more handsome and stronger than he appears in TV. Jerry then said that Jin Hui Zi is very kind, and in a super good mood. For the Korean media, Jerry expressed that he had already read some of Jin Hui Zi's written books where he felt very touched after reading it. Regarding her past 10 years of dedicated charity service he salutes and respects her. He knew that Jin Hui Zi joined the stage play "Doubt" before, and so he took the initiative to ask that he must go to the University Street Theater to meet his idol Jin Hui Zi.

TW Apple Daily
summary: There was a rumor that in the NT$80 millions fund for the TW Tourist Bureau project, NT$30 millions would be reserved for F4's talent fee. Due to his high popularity in Korea and Japan, other than being the main lead of the drama, Jerry would also sing the theme song, so his talent fee would be NT$15 millions, when F3 would share the rest NT$15 millions. According to the contract with the TW Tourist Bureau, the drama should start filming by next month, but the TW Tourist Bureau indicates that the script has not been received. When asked about the rumor, AC indicates that she doesn't know. On the other hand, Jerry's agency stays low key and answered, "He is going to have other plans next year.

The real score on F4
By Charisse V. Villamar
YOU contributor
I DON'T think anyone consciously decides to become a fan. You do not wake up one day and decide to plaster the wall with the smiling face of a pop star. Even teenagers have to go through a process that I would call the "path of fanhood" before they start pasting posters or stickers somewhere. Becoming a fan takes a certain degree of commitment to invest time and effort on someone who is usually inaccessible.Fanhood may be the lonely and somewhat alien cousin of love. When people fall in love, they become selfless creatures who suddenly find themselves offering their last slice of pizza or the last seat on a bus to their partners even if they are hungry or tired. Fans exhibit the same symptoms: they would skip a meal to save money to see their idol in a concert or buy a pop star's CD. Being a fan, like love, requires a lot of sacrifice. But because fans may not have seen their object of affection in person, much less know his personality beyond what is shown on television, in the movies or on a paper, fanhood is a lopsided, somewhat skewed version of love.When I was 16, I fell down in adoration of Brad Pitt. I truly believed we were meant to be together. I bought every magazine that had him on the cover or carried even just a brief article on my beloved future honey. I mentally calculated the age difference and created a scenario where we would finally meet in a coffee shop in Los Angeles after I reached the age of consent.I absolutely did not want to have anything to do with guys my age. They were too awkward, too gawky and too young.It was Brad Pitt for me. I even sent him a recording of my voice with a love song to introduce a connection between him and his future girlfriend.That celebrity crush was as real to me as it was to my friends who were in love with their boyfriends. It took a few years and an actress named Jennifer Aniston to shake me off my infatuation completely. It was that bad and it was that real to me.After finally dusting off the last remnants of Brad from my system, I looked back at the young me with an amused and somewhat embarrassed eye. I had probably missed out on a lot of the normal teenage "kilig" moments because of my intense fixation on a Hollywood star who could seduce a movie audience just by walking into a scene.College, family and then work eventually ground me into a sensible woman whose goals were more realistic, like starting a career and finding a partner in life's journey. I studied diligently in college, became deeply involved in sports, had my share of infatuation and flirtation with "reachable men" and graduated with good grades.After college, I immediately landed a job with a promising career path. I was a woman with a plan and the "Brad years" became a distant memory.One day in the office, I heard a colleague humming a familiar melody. The song was in Mandarin so I couldn't understand it. And I could not comprehend why it was being shown often on the MTV and MYX channels. Above all, I could not understand how a smart, professional, twentysomething consultant could put a group of long-haired guys who looked alike on her computer monitor.I knew them collectively as "Meteor Garden." But my friend corrected me immediately: "Meteor Garden is the show and F4 are the actors.""Long hair, Kaye?" I then told her in exasperation. "We don't find men with long hair sexy. We're in the Philippines, and Vin Diesel and sometimes even John Hall does it for girls."After a couple of days of my teasing and mocking, my officemate handed me three CDs, each containing one episode of "Meteor Garden." "Here, borrow them, watch them and tell me what you think," she said.I decided to humor her and I was also slightly curious about all the hoopla, I took the CDs home and invited my sister to watch them with me. Each episode ran for an hour.After watching the first one, I had to admit that the men of F4 had very distinctive, individual looks. Okay, they may have longer hair than the average Filipino male, but their features were different from each other.Another thing I realized was that their dialogue was quite funny and engaging. There was hardly a moment that reminded me that I was watching actors acting and not characters in a real situation. There were no hair pulling, cat fights, crocodile tears and high octave screeching. It was just a light drama/comedy with no pretensions to giving any complex messages.When I finished watching the third disc, I felt very light. I had a tiring day at work but as I was preparing to go to bed, I did not feel wired up at all. The last TV series that had that effect on me was "Star Trek Voyager" which belonged to a totally different genre. I decided that liking any series that would make a frazzled working girl feel relaxed by the end of the day was worth being labeled as cheesy or "baduy."I returned the discs to my officemate, slightly embarrassed and a little repentant. I endured her smug, know-it-all look when I told her I was buying my own "Meteor Garden" set.And so it began. Just as Alice tumbled down the rabbit hole, I found myself falling in slow motion back to the path of fanhood.To relax after a particularly demanding day at work, I listen to F4 music, without understanding a word of what they are singing. Before I turn in for the night, I watch their concert with my sister and close my eyes while imagining Jerry Yan's dimples and smile. I still work as efficiently, play as hard and laugh as loud, but now there is something new inside me, like a code that only I understand. I have discovered F4 and I am happier because of it.I have reassessed my theory about fanhood. Being a fan is not a first-stage delusion or a projection of a person's unfulfilled dreams to another. Like the men of F4, a fan has a distinct personality. Fanhood does not automatically mean that a person does not find pleasure in his own life and must therefore live the life he wants through his idol. Being a fan may mean paying P2,000 to watch F4's concert, drenched and wet like a rag doll, or singing their music while driving home and learning to appreciate the melody instead of the lyrics.A fan can be a wife and mother who is torn between going out for dinner with her husband on their wedding anniversary and watching the last episode of a Jerry Yan mini-series where he finally breaks off with the cursed leading lady. A fan can also be a person who is just at peace with the fact that the trappings, the labels and even the mockery do not matter.It is not the best singer, the best dancer or the best-looking idol who matters, but the hearts that are made glad even for a moment by men who have a dream and work hard to fulfill it. I would rather be inspired by hardworking and, yes, very good-looking young men than aging and redundant politicians who would serve their constituents better if they spent as much time at work as they do on childish squabbles and public posturing.

Simple Happiness!
Hello! Friends of SJ's. I haven't come up here and left messages to you for a long time. I just came back from Singapore last night. Recently, I have gone to different countries for promoting World Vision's sponsorship program. Although the schedule was tight, I finished the work with pleasure. During the trips, a lot of fan friends have given me letters filled with both compliments and criticisms. I have noted each of your comments.~~ Thank you very much. I will jia you! After going to Mongolia, I have had a lot of thoughts, but there was no opportunity to share with you until now. In those 7 days, a lot of stories were heard, but my deepest feeling of the trip was being able to retrieve the "simple happiness". After settled in a materialized environment for extended period of time, it seems that we have eventually lost the simple fulfillment and happiness that can't be bought by money. I will remember Bardan and his sister's smile forever. Although they are very poor, they live with sureness. I could see their eyes full of hope. Another thing I have missed very much even until now is the galaxy in the night sky at Gobi Dessert. It is truly beautiful!

Not Just A Pretty Face
As celebrity ambassador for the Asian offices of World Vision International, Jerry Yan went to Mongolia last October to visit his sponsored children. Now with the Malaysian World Vision event, he feels "It's been a long time since I've seen myself this happy."At the press con (28th) he said, ' Although I know it's very hard, I hoped that I could be like the children, being simple as much as possible. Children's smiles shocks and attacks me, why in spite of poverty they can still laugh and be this happy? With my Mongolian experience, its now unforgettable. "Jerry was full of smiles throughout the press conference, and also frequently greeting his 55 fans who came all the way from Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China to attend the press con. Jerry's Malaysia-based Fans club personally set an example, an joined the Child Sponsorship Program.
Jerry happily expressed, " Actually, fans conveyed to me a direct message, that whenever it is my birthday or any other important day, all of them will do good deeds to encourage me. I feel that I am so blessed, that I can accomplish too many things. "Jerry earlier said that when he got along with the children, it allowed him to feel what it is to be a father. Jerry smiled and said that it's not actually totally, but it allowed him to feel useful, and can let a child rely and depend on him. Jerry's wish is to build a school so that children could receive education. In the future when they grow up, they will give back to the society.In addition, Jerry visited a heavily-scarred child in Mongolia. He lovingly said, " Before setting off, I already saw the child's picture and character profile. However, I was unable to feel how painful the injuries are for the child up to when I personally saw him. When he started to lift off the bandages of his wounds, I could really feel how badly he felt. As if I was him, in these circumstances, I just don't know how I can strongly manage to move. "

For the children

FOR Taiwanese heartthrob Jerry Yan, artistes serve a greater need apart from entertaining, and that is to help others.
“We are always busy with concerts, filming and various promotional activities, there doesn’t seem to be time to help those who need our help. But it is important that we do our part.” said Yan at the World Vision press conference recently.
Yan was in Kuala Lumpur as part of his Asian tour of World Vision countries to promote the organisation’ s International Child Sponsorship Programme. His next stops will include Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and the Philippines.
The 29-year-old signed on as World Vision’s first Asia Child Sponsorship Ambassador in October. As ambassador, he represents 10 World Vision Asian offices, namely Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan and Singapore.
Yan said that he had long wanted to work with World Vision but was unable to because of his packed schedule.
One of his first duties as ambassador was to visit some children in Mongolia.
“In my seven days there, I saw many children who needed help and care, and I realised that child sponsorship was an effective way for us to help them,” said Yan, who sponsors three World Vision children himself.
“If I can realise just one of their dreams, it would be to provide them access to education. I believe that education will help them in the long run to escape the cycle of poverty.”– By Li Ee Kee

" He continued, " It's not because I'm an actor, or just because I went to fulfill my duties for the society. My busy work does not enrich my spirituality, so I thought of freezing myself. I had always wanted to join such similar activities, but because of my work, I have no way," In his present Mongolian travel, he frankly spoke that compared to filming dramas, making albums or doing concerts, this is more meaningful. Moreover, he also wished that someday, he could join more cause-oriented activities. "Helping other people at the same time, I can feel how happy I am. "

He shyly said, " I felt very happy in Mongolia. Actually, when I experienced their life, I lived in a room with hot water so I felt a bit embarrassed to them.Smiling ThroughoutJerry and the children talked to each other through a translator or by means of body language. At first, when he thought that these children were not very happy and worried, he hadn't thought that these children were actually very simple and happy. He sent out, "It's very difficult for us to be like this happy. So we must be more grateful."

15 security enveloped 200 fans at the airport

Jerry's smiles didn't leave in his mouth

In just one smile of Jerry Yan, fans immediately melts down, and would then barge into even 15 Maxi Cab security escorts right away!Having been away for 2 1/2 years, F4 handsome champ Jerry Yan returns at the Lion City this time in his capacity as World Vision Child Sponsorship Ambassador! Jerry was smiling brightly throughout his walk, which was quite missed by the people. At about 8 pm, Jerry was escorted down by as much as 10 security men. Together with his manager, assistant, nanny and model coach, they walked from the exit gate and so enthusiastic fans went into madness, calling him out hysterically and flashing their cameras which created disturbance at the airport!Seeing the huge fans' troops, with flowers and gifts again, suddenly screaming and taking pictures, Jerry's face was filled with friendly smiles, that at the side of his mouth revealed small wine traces, where his charming smiles electrified many fans. He was in a good mood, also frequently waving his hands to the fans, and his assistant helped him with the gifts. Appearing for only 5 minutes, Jerry immediately boarded a gray Mercedez Benz and quickly sped off to the hotel. To the fans, even though they met Jerry for such a short time, their idol's smiles are more than enough and would make up for everything. Only F4 Vice President Stephanie revealed "We had more than 40 fans who welcomed him at the airport and 15 fast vehicles to chase him at the highways. Actually, it's not really chasing, its just because fans wanted to see Jerry a little longer. It's already well-coordinated, and it slowly started in the streets! Last night, we all stopped and sat down in the highway because our Maxicab containing Jerry's shuttle was already beginning to circle around. In this entire trip, we must have at least 40 minutes to welcome him and lead him until he reaches the hotel.

Not hoping to become lost with the applauses

Jerry met with the fans and media yesterday early morning at 11:15 inside the Rock Auditorium in Xin Da city. About 300 fans warmly responded with deafening screams because Jerry became the "Asian Ambassador of World Vision Child Sponsorship Program" . Fans from Chnge Du, China loudly called out "Papa Yan" and also called him " a quick life." Jerry was wearing a long-sleeved red and black horizontal stripped T shirt and brown pants when he met with the fans and media. His intimacy and power is very strong, often showing off his cute smiles. From an actor to an ambassador, Jerry will put down his actor identity as he would direct towards the audience his Mongolia experience. Because of Jerry's shyness, he is not suitable to handle it, " I think I'm not very capable to be an ambassador. At first, I'm not very good at facing cameras. Now I must also preside , so if I'm not very good, I apologize to everyone. " Jerry also indicated that this Mongolia trip changed his view on life. "I don't wish to become lost with the applauses... " Jerry said, "The entertainment circle is a s huge dye vat. Living here for a long time will naturally influence you. I was once a simple big boy, but unknowingly, I started to become worried. Recently, I would always search for myself, and wish to confront everybody with a simple mind. "His Mongolian experience allowed him to realize that happiness is not certain. When a child nervously shook his hand, and conveying his body temperature, he started to consciously realize that he has "grown up" and take a step to maturity. "Even after I'm not the World Vision Spokesman anymore, I would still go to Mongolia every year, maybe to be that behind spokesman that "does odd jobs". The words are unusually funny.

Interview strictly bans taking pictures

Bold and generous “Chu Xiang Shuai” Looks more like “Wu Tie Hua”

At night, Chu Xiao Tian munched Sashimi in a Japanese restaurant. Talking loud and boldly, he enjoyed some wine pleasantly. He jested that he’s born to drink. When he was young, he went with his father for business and got drunk at the early age of 10.heavenAfter couples of drinks, he straightly confessed that he is a bad-tempered person. He said, there was one time during filming in the middle of the night. The time was up but he was not allowed to go. He could barely wait for his manager to coordinate and started scolding. He then talked about his grievance and bad experience from work.He bluntly admitted that he would not be as gentle as the other members of F4 when he run into fans who amid or chase after him. From his viewpoint, this is his private time. He does not want to put on a smiling face but would rather show a straight face and flee away. Looking at this outspoken soaker, I wonder, “Is this the same serious Chu Xiao Tian that was in the studio this afternoon?” Compared to Chu Liu Xiang, you, Chu Xiang Shuai, looks more like “Wu Tie Hua”!

The camera has pointed to him already." Then the camera gave Jerry a close up and Jerry gave a very sweet smile. Then Wu said, "Oh we are talking about your sisters in CATWALK..."When the Korean actor and Ms. Lin presented the award, the Korean actor said that he was a prince (in a tv drama). Then Ms. Lin said that there was a prince in TW as well. When Jacky tried to say something, she said let's follow the programme (in Mandarin, the two words meaning programme are pronounced as "Cheng Xu"). Jacky asked "Are you calling my name?", said that he could be the prince in TW, and asked whether he could sit in the 4th row the 2nd seat (that's where Jerry is sitting at). The camera focused on Jerry and Jerry nodded his head slightly.Jacky tried to make Ms. Lin to give hugs to both presenters. After she hugged Zhou Xun, Jacky asked her to continue with the other presenter. Jerry hugged Jacky and hoped that he would be satisfied, but no. At the end, Jerry noticed that he could not get away, so he opened his arm for a very brief moment towards Lin, but Ms. Lin didn't go forward, so he shook hands with her instead.Ms. Lin will play a role in John Woo's next movie. There was a rumor that Lin will have only two lines in the movie. That's why Lin brought a sword when she pretended to interrogate the director regarding the rumor. When John Woo joked that he was surprised by Lin's performance tonight (I guess may be she lowers her voice after taking some lessons) and he would consider changing the script, the famous director next to him, Hou Xiao Yan, joked that being a director, it is better to be firm with the actors. Then the camera showed Jerry and Director Cai laughing.

SPore Fans Greet -Grandma uses his shows to teach grandchild dental hygiene

Which kor kor* has the nicest teeth?
*big brother
By Ng Hui Hui and Lim Jun Xue

MORE than 150 rowdy fans gathered at Changi Airport's Terminal 2 yesterday to catch a glimpse of Taiwanese pop idol Jerry Yan (left), a member of boyband F4.
After a few false alarms, Jerry finally emerges to the excited squeals of his fans
However, one woman stood out among the excitable crowd as she looked on calmly.
She was well-groomed, bespectacled, and looked dignified - but she kept her eyes fixed on her target.
A retiree in her 60s, Madam Tan - who did not want to give her full name - revealed that she is a fan of Jerry.
'I have been a fan since watching the TV drama Meteor Garden in 2001,' she said.
And she likes the young man so much, she even uses Jerry's shows and advertisements as 'teaching material' for her 2-year-old granddaughter.
To encourage her granddaughter to brush her teeth, she would show her Jerry's Oral B advertisements.
Now, whenever she asks the little girl, 'Which 'kor kor' (big brother) has the nicest teeth?', the toddler, utters in babytalk: 'Dao Ming Si'.
Dao Ming Si is the character played by Jerry in Meteor Garden.
Jerry, who is the latest celebrity ambassador for Christian relief organisation World Vision International, is on a media tour throughout Asia to talk about his work with the group.

Madam Tan said: 'I feel that Jerry, who is still so humble despite his fame, is a very good role model for young people. His mother must have taught him well.'
The retiree is so hooked, she can't stop gushing about Jerry to her granddaughter.
In Meteor Garden II, his character meets with a car accident while on his was to propose to the love of his life, Shancai, in a church.
Madam Tan said she watched that episode with her granddaughter several times and used it to explain to her what a church is.
She also told her granddaughter she would take her to Barcelona, where a part of the drama was filmed.
'She asked me where Barcelona is, so I bought a world map and showed her where it is,' said Madam Tan.
'Now, everytime we pass a church along Orchard Road, she points to it and says, 'That is Shancai's church,' said Madam Tan.
Unlike Madam Tan, the other fans were more boisterous.Oganisers had remained tight-lipped about his flight details, but these die-hard fans managed to find out that he would be arriving on SQ 117 at 7.45pm.
They came from the Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.
After his plane touched down at 7.50pm, there was talk that he was wearing a cap and orange T-shirt.
Fans screamed excitedly whenever someone wearing an orange cap walked through the immigration counter.
Twenty minutes and several false alarms later, Jerry finally appeared. By then, fans were chanting his name.
Wearing a bright orange T-shirt and green cargo pants, the 1.8m-tall good-looker charmed his fans with his trademark dimpled smile, complete with a mischievous wink and a thumbs-up sign.
Despite the chaos of fans trying to climb over and crawl under metal barricades, Jerry never stopped smiling and waving.
In less than five minutes, he was ushered into a grey Mercedes Benz van, which quickly sped off.

Yen to help less fortunate
Nov 27, 2006 - The Straits Time, Life!! (Singapore)

F4 member Jerry Yen enjoys his role as celebrity ambassador for World Vision International By Kristina Tom, IN MONGOLIA

NOWN by most as a member of Taiwanese boyband F4 and for playing the role of hot-tempered Daoming Si in popular TV serial Meteor Garden, Jerry Yen may look the part of a pretty boy. However, he certainly doesn't act like one. The 29-year-old bachelor recently roughed it out in Mongolia, cramping his lanky 1.8m frame into a jeep to travel the countryside - a bumpy eight-hour ride per day - and settling down at night on a hard bed in a rustic hostel with unreliable hot water. He even suffered sunburn and a bloody nose from the bitterly cold but sunny weather. Yet, he never stopped flashing his trademark smile and auntie-killer dimples - all in the hope of spreading good cheer to some of the poorest children in rural Mongolia. He made the trip as part of his newest role as celebrity ambassador for the Asian offices of World Vision International, a Christian relief and development organisation which strives to combat global poverty, dealing in particular with the plight of impoverished children. Yen is the first such ambassador for Asia, although the Singapore office of World Vision has in the past recruited help from celebrities such as former Nominated Member of Parliament Eunice Olsen, home-grown singer Kit Chan and current World Vision Singapore ambassador and pop star Joi Chua. In Mongolia, Yen met some of his sponsored children, whom he supports through World Vision with a monthly donation of $45 each a month. Yen, who shelved his childhood dreams of becoming a professional basketball player years ago, took time out to shoot some hoops with his sponsored child Dorjtovuu Erdenebayar, 10. The boy's life story struck a chord with Yen. Both grew up in single-parent households and, in the absence of their fathers, started working at a young age to help support the family.Dorjtovuu's father was imprisoned after stealing animals to feed his family, leaving his wife and five children with little hope for a future until World Vision helped provide jobs, schooling and a new ger (a traditional Mongolian tent). At the age of eight, Dorjtovuu took on a job: herding animals. 'I can sympathise with the hardship of a single Mum who has to raise a family on her own,' said Yen, who took on a job, packing boxes, at the age of 10.Aside from visiting the rural poor in Dundgobi province, he also mingled with street children in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. During the cold winter months, they seek shelter in underground steam tunnels, where they are vulnerable to disease, attacks by homeless adults and even the occasional burst water pipe, which can prove fatal. Said Yen: 'I used to complain about life, but compared to the suffering and courage of these children and families, my problems seem so small.'He is now on a media tour throughout Asia, where he will talk about his week-long visit to Mongolia and the work World Vision does there.
