Frankly speaking, before i interview this Jerry Yan who was popular throughout Asia, I was prepared to face a nervous and quiet him. From Meteor Garden, he flew up, after which, F4 went by their own ways. 3 years, now he has his own solo album, "Di Yi Chi", and his popularity stills stays high up. However, from what i see and from the rumours i heard, he seems to be the one who was always the most disobedient. I heard that he's too serious, causing himself and everyone around him hard to feel relax; heard that he have seen alot ; heard that he is very self-protective, and don't like to do interviews... And, it's not the first time i've seen him being nervous and unwilling to speak in front of the big group.
However, from the first moment i saw him, he was relaxed and cheerful, even energetic, and our conversation went very smoothly, his actions made me surpised, all the crew around was shocked too. At that time, i realised, this boy who was so popular throughout Asia, who was so affected when he just stepped into the entertainment circle, there was too much he didn't know and too much opinions. He actually wants to communicate with the others, but the complications in the circle caused the innocent him unable to decide what's the right path to do it. In the end, he, who was hurt, can only choose to hide and protect himself. However, at a relaxed atmosphere, the way he communicates with people shocks us, he is unwilling to be misunderstood, unwilling to allow his own thinkings go haywire, he wants to tell everyone what is the real Jerry Yan.
Ever since F4 went popular, they were the "Flower Boys", almost everyone used their appearence to judge them.
Many judge them as the "Cheng Hua Yi Xian" fate, using their youth to do whatever they can grab was many people's thinking. However, the young Jerry refuses to be just a flower pot, he wants people to see his hard work under his appearence, he wants people to see a different thing, however, it became the biggest problem of him in this circle.
Seeing Jerry carrying his smile and talking about his problems, many a times, i could not bear to stop him from talking about it, in this way, there wasn't much a chance for him to speak. I recorded the interview genuinely, so as to potray his real opinions to everyone genuinely, although there was a limit, this was still not the end of our conversation. I just find that, with a boy who has the heart of only to work harder, a boy who wants to work hard so as to not let others think of him only by his appearence, there's no reason not to give him any support. Besides, he's a superidol that could affect so many young people.
Lastly, the main message which he wants to give out from this interview was, he hopes to work with a good china director, he doesn't ask for any roles, what he wants is the chance to learn.
His problems of stepping into this entertainment circle -
Reporter : I heard that when you're facing the media, you're feel nervous, is it true ?
Jerry : When it's a group of media, that's because i'm not used to such big scenes, that's my character.
Reporter : I've seen u at such scenes, you'll become very tensed.
Jerry : Yes, because i don't know what to say. I'm actually quite relaxed privately down. During the F4 times, there's still the other 3 blocking me and i'll just stand around and act cool and forget it. But now, i have to face so many alone, i'm not very used to it. But, it's alright now, i feel that most of the media are actually quite friendly, it isn't like when the 4 of us first came out, maybe those media were quite sensitive at that time, thus i became a role of self-protect. I didn't know what to talk to them about, that's because sometimes when i start talking too much, people would write anyhow.Thus, i chose to be quiet, especially when i first came into the circle as i had not enough experience, and i was a newbie, many things happened. I used to grow up in a very innocent environment, i just love to play basketball, and i don't have much society experience, i didn't know the complications in this circle. Thus, i got to know many punishments when i first came in, as ididn't know there were so many rules between humans, i didn't think that much, at that time, so many things happened, making myself feel i'm so ignorant, maybe because i was still young and inexperience. Thus, after that when i got the chance to flim a movie with Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng, i realised in this circle, you have to always be very mature. I don't know if u understand my words.
Reporter : Of course i do, just like how we Beijing people say , Yao Hui Lai Shi Er.
Jerry : I was actually a big boy. IN fact, when i flim Meteor Garden , i really felt my character was like Dao Ming Si. Daomingsi is liked by everyone when put on screens, but puting him in life, in the eyes of reporters, he's ignorant, and adding a little childish and it's also stuborness. However, at that time, i didn't know i had to be polite and kind to everyone in this circle. To us, many were adults, and we'll just nod our heads after seeing everyone. However, we didn't expect to find that it's not enough, it should make people feel more warmth, this way there won't be misunderstandings or invite rumours.
