summary by Jerry's Kingdom

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.

with director Stanley Kwan in charge of the camera

A few days ago, Jerry Yan was pictured to have met with big director Stanley Kwan and famous image consultant William Chang. Everybody guessed that they were working out a new project and yesterday, it was already announced that the 3 worked together on commercial for a Shanghai brand of contact lens. It is reported that Jerry worked for 3 days, earning himself endorsement fees worth $12 million of easy profits.

Jerry has wrapped up his Tourism Bureau events, and will proceed to Japan to continue his special training and would wait until he returns to Taiwan when his "Basketball of Fire" begins shooting. When e was tapped for the endorsement of the contact lens commercial, even his agent Matt Cheng can't help but say, "it really suits him." This Stanley Kwan commercial will have two versions - a 30-second clip and a 45-second clip which will be start showing in China on December. Matt Cheng revealed that the company would spend some NT$320 million in promotions.

Jerry is not really near-sighted. Normally, when he wants to drive out a car at night, he puts on his contact lens for safety. Although Stanley and William both pushed him down behind the scenes, as soon as the media left, Jerry then felt very relaxed, even played around with everyone during the filming, Matt Cheng said that even Stanley Kwan can't help but say, "he is really like a kid."

Yan cheng Xu (Jerry) had not filmed any drama nor released any album this year but his plans to bring in money had not stopped, as he discreetly flew to Shanghai, China from Japan last October 22 for a 10-million commercial contract for a Wei Kang contact lens. In addition Staley Kwan was tapped to film the commercial while William Chang was commissioned as the production designer to film according to movie standards. The only pitiful thing is that the commercial of these great masters will only be shown in China, and Taiwanese fans will have no chance to feast on it with their eyes.

At the start of October, Jerry was spotted to had met with Stanley Kwan , William Chang and Wong Kar Wai in a secret meeting in Hong Kong, guesses now revealed with his over 10-million contract in a contact lens commercial. That company tapped beautiful women Carina Lau, Rosamund Kwan, etc. as former endorsers, and this time, it's their first to try on a male star and also smashed a huge amount of money to film the commercial, estimated to spend 80 million in promotions. Stanley and William are both well-known perfectionists. A filming crew revealed that with just a scene of moving to aim a gun and a high salute took one whole day to film, coming with non-stop and repeated NGs. It's too bad that Taiwanese fans could bot watch it. Jerry had renewed his contract with Pepsi this year, Mia Jewelry plus this contact lens commercial. According to sources, these contracts earned him some $25 million already.

A friend revealed that he once spent going around the streets for 5 hours to woo away paparazzi. However, last night, after he went to Zai Zai's album signing, he rode the Cadillac shuttle car which quickly drove him out. When he found out that paparazzi were following him. he wanted to get rid of the paparazzi, so he jumped off from the car towards the dusty and "dirty" Cefiro car, originally driven by his driver. When he failed, he went to drive it himself, first leading the reporters to the river, and then called on another car to fetch him because paparazzi were blocking him.

What is interesting is that he wanted to learn Jay Chou's technique in driving though narrow alleys. Reporters heard his diversionary tactic over his cell phone, " We will pretend to turn left and then you come in again." it's a pity his technique is not good enough, because his car was too long, and it would be hard for him to turn in the narrow road, when he tried to go back, he collided at another colleague's car's front bumper behind him. Yesterday, his agent Matt Cheng said," It doesn't matter, its his own staff's car."

Yesterday, Golden Bell Awards had released its nominations for this year, but Taiwanese idols including Da S, Xiao Zhu, Zai Zai, Wu Zun, Ella, Joe Cheng and many more all marched down. Jerry Yan vied his "The Hospital" to hit the Golden Bell Movie King, came up threatening but nevertheless lost. That drama which mainly took his appeal came up with 8 nominations, with copyright earnings from many countries already reached NT$100 millions, but actually stumbled down in his own homebase. Yesterday, Director Cai regretted, " It's really too bad for Jerry. His performance was gradually entering the borders of excellence, but maybe because the role was very limited."

Idol Defeat

This year's Golden Bell TV awards are dim with idol starlights. Yesterday, as the Public Information Agency announced the list of nominations, viewers were all disappointed with the turnout on their TV idol drama stars. Apart from Jerry starring in "The Hospital," there were no other nominees that were favorable to the viewers. Wu Zun's had two entries "Tokyo Juliet" and "Hana Kimi" also returned with no merit. Zaizai in "Silence" was highly praised but it has not been nominated. Da S and Xiao Zhu went all the way to Shanghai to film "Corner With Love" but it only sold to viewer's approval. In addition, Ming Dao's "Magicians of Love" also came down hopeless, while female sensations Ella and Ariel Lin were equally given no chances to win any awards.

Power rises overseas, stumbles in hometown

Jerry used his super strong charisma to turn "The Hospital" into a top card. That drama even ascended to become the first Taiwanese TV drama to be aired over NHK Japan. Although it is aired over a satellite TV channel, yet it's total copyright earnings plus the DVD, TV book, Original Soundtrack and other related goods already broke the hundred million excellent mark, repeatedly written down for a beautiful Taiwanese TV record.

At the 96th Golden Bell Awards nominations list, The Hospital powerfully dominated and was all accepted in 8 major nominations - Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Director, Screenwriter and Best Drama, bravely snatching the Drama Program category championships. Main Lead Jerry Yan was eliminated,and yesterday, Jerry spoke through his agent Matt Cheng, "I won't be unhappy just because I had not been nominated. On the contrary, I think it represented a room for improvement on me. I thank everyone who cared." It is Cai Yue Xun's 4th nomination for the Best Director Award. However, he really felt sorry and only posed carrying a turtle for picture-taking.

For The Hospital, the nominees for Best Supporting Actor Award are Wu Meng Da and Zhang Guo Zhu, for Best Supporting Actress are SAYA and Yang Lin Hua where they will be faced with their own fight for their own field. Female lead Janine Chang name was not submitted and Director Cai explained yesterday," Her acting has not been enough, there will be much room for improvement. Let her endure and afterwards again in future competitions." Cai Yue Zun already bagged the Golden Bell Best Director Award from "Meteor Garden.' Now as he re-enters the nominations, he said," I'm happy and yet feels sorry."

He said,"We were not accepted in the technical awards Best Cinematography and Best Lighting. Really too bad for my crew. All of them worked really hard." As Jerry Yan was also not nominated, Cai Yue Xun said," He might have endured the limited role, because in the earlier half of the serial, space for the display of real acting was seldom. That's also a little pity."

Jerry Yan privately conveyed to a friend that actually, it would confirm to him if he can be accepted in the nominations. He got many things during the filming for this drama so he is happy. He even thought that his self=study would forever be not be enough. There is also a lot of space for growth ahead.

In addition, Dai Li Ren already won the Golden Bell Drama King Award in "Zhuo Shui Shi Contract" and "Moonlight" and this time he comes back to enter the Best Lead Actor in the serialized drama category. Yesterday noon, Cai called up to congratulate him. His first reaction was unexpectedly "What?". He also conveyed to Director Cai his congratulations to everyone and again barely said "thanks." Dai Li Ren had always been a man of few words.

At the 10th Men's UNO Model Search finals last night held outside the SOGO, where the all-Asia famous Jerry Yan was once a 2nd runner up in this biggest model search in Taiwan, and thus in the previous search nights, it attracted many more model aspirants who want to walk on stage and then enter showbiz, wishing to be the next male model to succeed Jerry Yan. This year's winner is an immigrant from Canada Xu Zu Cheng. The 2nd placer is a the Dylan Guo look-alike Guo Wei Xiang and the 3rd placer is the Korean star So-Ji Sub look-alike Xu Kang Yun.

Before Jerry Yan entered showbiz, he got the 2nd runner-up place in the Men's UNO model search. Mike He and 183 Club member Ehlo Huang also joined this model search before they entered showbiz. Its because regardless of having a name or not, each of them became famous, that attracted many hopefuls to register and join in the search. After passing though two elimination rounds, only 24 contestants remained for the finals last night.

Erratum by Apple Daily:

In the article and picture caption, Jerry Yan was erroneously written as the" 2nd runner up" in that model search. After research was done, Jerry was actually "not the 2nd runner up but the resulting champion" as the corrected statement.

Because famous author Li Bi Hua takes charge of the storyline, with total drama budget of "Qin Yong" exceeding NT$160 million, it is hoped that Jerry Yan would accept the role of the male lead -- General Meng Tian Fang of the Qin Dynasty. Because this would be Jerry's first traditional drama role, he is offered to receive close to US$20,000 in talent fees per episode.

According to HK's Ta Kung Pao report, that drama is tentatively scheduled to begin shooting on October. The production unit revealed that Jerry already expressed his desire to take the role. When he attended his recent promo activity the other day, he disclosed that he could not begin shooting for "Basketball of Fire" on early September and instead will go abroad to study language, just coinciding so his schedule. However, Jerry's agent Matt Cheng expressed that they had received very many offers from companies, but they had not yet decided on whom to commit.

Li Bi Hua's novel "Qin Yong" is about a Major General of the Qin Dynasty Meng Tian Feng and Qin Shi Huang drafting to enlist the virgin lady Dong Er in a love story reincarnated through generations. This novel was adapted into a movie "Ancient and Modern war Qin Yong" with Zhang Yi Mou and Gong Li portraying General Meng and Dong Er respectively. Now, if it is Jerry would really play the role and would wear the ancient costume as Gen. Meng, it would be a fairly high selling point. In addition, Anthony Wong would play the role of Qin Shi Huang while Eric Tseng will be Xu Fu, directed by Chen Jia Shang.

According to DFDaily, the 30-episode tv drama, Qin Statue, is confirmed to start filming by the end of this year after 2 years of delay. Yesterday, TW's media firstly released the news of Yan Cheng Xu's challenging the role, Meng Tian Fang, which was played by Zhang Yi Mao years ago, and Yan Cheng Xu's talent fee will be up to RMB$160,000 per episode, which is as high as the top actors, such as Chan Dao Ming, in Mainland China. Yesterday, the reporter called the director, Gordon Chan Jia Shang, and he confirmed that Yan Cheng Xu is the most appropriate candidate for the male lead. Regarding the role played by Gong Li in the past, the possibility of being played by newcomer can't be ruled out.

Based on Chan Jia Shang's introduction, tv drama Qin Statue's storyline/scenes will be expanded to overseas. The production crew will travel to Tokyo, Japan for the filming, and the time travel love story between Meng Tian Fang and Dong Er which goes through 3 different lives will be fully elaborated in the tv drama. Chan Jia Shang indicates that the storyline/scenes in the tv drama is/are all new creation that it can't be found in the novel.

According to information, the script has come to the last editing stage and the finalized script will be completed by October. Chan Jia Shang indicates that the script has been worked on for 2 years. As this is his first tv drama, he has set high standards in the script. Regarding whether he has pressure to re-film a classic production, he mentioned when he initially discussed with Li Bi Hua, the plan was a movie, but as it is really difficult to surpass the movie, the project has turned into a tv drama. After all, tv drama has more capacity for telling a complete story with all the detials. If the tv drama gets good response, it is possible to have a movie version afterward.

Chan Jia Shang stated that the casting didn't start until last month. He has good impression on Yan Cheng Xu, feeling that he is reserved and low profiled that it is similar to Meng Tian Fang's character. Years ago, when Zhang Yi Mao played the role, he portrayed a rustic countryman. However, Chan Jia Shang said that time has changed, so do the characters. The audience will see a young version of Qin Statue. Besides, the reason he chose Yan Cheng Xu was also because of Yan's wonderful selling power in the overseas markets.

As the money involved is so big, it must rely on the overseas markets to make profits. Even the investors agree that Yan Cheng Xu has pretty good popularity in Korea and Japan, so they have confidence in him. Chan Jia Shang reviewed that the negotiation has reached the contract signing stage for both parties, and only the schedule and talent fee are still under discussion. Regarding Gong Li's role, he has not decided who will be the female lead. The preliminary plan is to cast a newcomer. At this time, his priority is to decide who will play Qin Shi Huang. Although there was rumor that Huang Qiu Sheng will play the role, Chan indicates that Huang's talent fee is high, so it may not push through at the end.

**ok, here's another rumored tv series he's in. he hasn't even confirmed to filming Basketball of Fire..and according to him, he's preparing for a movie to be shot next year. he's actually in Japan right now..
as to what he has chosen already (coz for sure it was planned ahead) and what will be filmed first, we'll just have to wait and see..
