Jerry Yan had recently been receiving non-stop invitations. The Golden Bell wants him to be in the Awards Night, to be one of the most shining among the stars in the red carpet. China TV drama "Dreams of Beijing" even offered him a main role, while they audition in every city in China for the rest of the cast. However, as he is busily preparing for his new album, he still can't return to Taiwan, courteously turning down Golden Bell's invitation."Dreams Of Beijing" is even more not possible. His agent Matt Cheng said "We have not even heard of this drama in the first place."

This November 17, Golden Bell will feature young idols to add glitter at the Awards Night. As it lacks star power, sponsors originally wanted Jerry to attend to increase star glitter. His agent even flew to Japan last week on a tight time, but yesterday, Matt Cheng then said "We only received the invitation last week, it's now very tight that we would have no time to prepare anymore, and the most we could return to Taiwan is on the 18th or 19th. Jerry also felt very regretful."

Jerry courteously turned down to join the Golden Bell Awards Night, leading to speculations that it has something to do with his being a turtle in the 8 nominations of "The Hospital." Matt Cheng said," Of course not! Otherwise, I wouldn't even fly to Japan on a tight time. He really wanted to join."
Matt revealed that Jerry is presently undergoing a Japanese Language course and had already planned to return to Taiwan on schedule to film for his new drama. On that same day, the 17th, he has a scheduled appointment with a famous voice coach who is also very hard to set an appointment with. So they just have to thank the Golden Bell for inviting him.

In addition, there were reader reports that producers of "Dreams of Beijing" would be starring Jerry Yan and Crystal Liu Yifei and in the process of scouting for cast members around China. Yesterday, Matt Cheng said that they have not heard of this drama. There are many producers who report that they wanted to get Jerry, However, as they never had they seen any script, they won't say yes.
