29/8/04 Clip 1

On screen: Music of Yan Cheng Xu

Yan Cheng Xu's first individual album has taken 3 years to make. Finally, it was officially launched on Aug. 20. Unlike the F4 era, Yan Cheng Xu individually sings all the songs. He said that the recording process was like dreaming.

J: I feel like dreaming because making this album, I have experienced a lot of things. I feel that the making of this album is like a very long road. I have never imagined it is finally done. On Aug. 10, there will be pre-sale.

The first opening song is Yi Gong Ci (One Metre). Yan Cheng Xu revealed that this song is difficult to some extent. But he insisted on taking the challenge.

J: Initially, this song was not for me to sing because they felt that this song was too difficult for me at that time. But I insisted on taking it because I would like everybody to know and see that if I would really like to do anything, I will be able to put my efforts to make it done.

In shooting the MV, Yan Cheng Xu is soaked under the rain so long that the heart is so hurt. It makes people 100% feeling of his sadness. This is a result of the fact that Yan Cheng Xu was poured with the rain for more than 20 times.

In the MV, there are several intimate scenes between Yan Cheng Xu and the female lead. Yan Cheng Xu's acting is very natural and lively. That kind of fascinating love cannot help making the fans' hearts throbbing

P: Today, we really have to talk about music of Yan Cheng Xu. I know that this album has taken you 3 years to make. This is because you do not want to make thing superficially. Now, the success of your efforts has been shown. I remember when I interviewed you…

J: Has it? Has the success been shown? Why don' t I feel like that?

P: That is the album. It is your achievement. We do not talk about sale volume or….

J: Orh Orh

P: Or how many people support you. But, I mean your commitment to yourself. You used to say that you felt a bit hurt because during that time there were many things that make you unhappy, weren't there?

J: Um…. Of course. I feel that anything always have the pressure behind it. There are also some facets that nobody knows. In the past, I feel that I was the one who easily and straightforwardly speak out all the truth. On the other hand, while I was speaking out the truth, I hurt others unknowingly. No matter I was right or wrong, I should have treated others more maturely. Therefore, I cannot unknowingly speak out something like in the past like "I feel that you are wrong. So you are not good this and that…."And then hurt that person. Therefore, now I feel that I will continue working hard. God will see. I think that I am really working hard. If there is someone watching, he will know. Behind the scene, there are someone always pressuring you, obstructing you. I believe that there will be someday that these will be revealed. Therefore, I think that I cannot do what I did in the past, hurting somebody or feeling like speaking out such thing would make me feel a little bit better. On the other hand, I feel that doing like that is imprudent. Therefore, now I just try to do my best and make everybody see.

P: Actually, there are both happy and unhappy things. Yan Cheng Xu may not be able to tell everybody clearly here. However, I feel that this album has been launched. The success is waiting to be gradually seen. Perhaps, everybody has already seen your efforts.

J: I would like to see Um. Don't dare to use the word "see". But at least I hope that I can make everybody hear. I remember when I went to sleep last night, I still thought that nowadays there are many idols in Taiwan. Everybody likes to make a comparison among them. I feel that it is a nice thing to have many new guys coming out. But the important thing is whether everybody looks at the differentiation among them or just look at the similar outer image of those idols. If the latter is a case, there will always be replacement and then replacement in cycle. Also, is there anybody working hard? I feel that I see 5566 is hard working. Everybody should encourage each other in working. We should not be used by the media and hurt each other e.g. the media said that that side said that you are this and that so our side responds back this and that. I feel that why we do not look at the serious side of these artists and support them. I think that it must be like this so that Taiwan can Um… You know, I said very often that why others always feel it must be Japan, must be Korean. Why aren't we, the Taiwanese, more enthusiastic and to make our works successfully exported.

P: Yes

J: Therefore, I hope that the media will use a positive view to look at the idols nowadays. This is because no matter this person is now popular or not, the important thing is whether he is serious with his career, his work or committed to his work or not. I feel that the audience will know. It is impossible that just to say you are this and that kind of person will make people feel that you are so good. This kind of thing cannot be falsified, can it?

P: Listening to you, I feel that many people may think of the idols like.. good looking, very popular. But, listening to you, I can hear the difference.

J: Yes. Like on that day, I was in the stamping session. I saw many people who used to support us, F4, in the past. I saw several mommies, several grannies. I feel very happy because I feel that at least I obtain the support at some level. They are all matured. They are not blindly idolizing me, or supporting me. They can tell that they see I have experienced so many things. They are glad to see my growth, my development in this album. I feel that I obtain the support from this kind of people. They are not blind.

P: Yes.

J: Actually, this are the great support for me because I know that in Taiwan, there are a lot of people always following the new trends in the market and keeping changing.

P: Keep changing.

J: Change their idols. I would like to say that the people who support me are all prudent and they know that the one who they are supporting is which kind of person. I could not say this and that despite the fact that I am not and then finally disappoint them.

P: Actually, on the day of stamping session, I saw many people supporting you. I can feel that those warm-hearted fans did not think like coming to join a hot event or coming to see that handsome guy but they saw your commitment to your work and specifically flew from many parts of the world. They came because they knew Jerry is very committed to his work so they come to support you, hope you continue your efforts and do not let the negative rumors affecting you.

29/8/04 Clip 2

P: Are you satisfied with this album? Does it reach the your expectation?

J: I feel it is not bad. Compared to me in the past, I feel that this time, for all the selected songs or other aspects, I could give my full play to my ability.

P: Not only your songs, I also watched your MV such as this MV. Was it re-shot?
J: Yes.

P: The first version is not quite satisfactory so you re-shoot it?

J: Yes Yes.

[Qinai de Jerry]

P: What happened at that time?

J: Actually, I have worked for this album for so long. Even until when it was almost launched, I still…, how to say….actually…

P: Don't mind. Speak out.

J: Up until that time, I still insisted on asking for a little more time. I would like to make it more perfect. Anyway, due to the pressure from several sides, it can't help being hurry. It is like they had other things else already prepared. The timing was very tight.

P: Very tight.

J: This included holding a meeting. We had to discuss how this MV should be shot. As the timing was not perfect, the music company may feel that you have already worked for so long and it is just for the first time, was it possible to… ? As I said, I am very glad that everybody has a high expectation on me. But, when you have a high expectation on me, is it possible not to solely look at my request? I remember one newspaper reported that due to this and that, I asked for a re-shooting. I feel that what it reported was not exactly true. Anyway, I did not come out to explain because I know that the people who understand me will know that I am glad that everybody has a high expectation on me. If you feel that today my work is not good enough, you can ask me to redo, you can ask me to make it better. When the work is not good enough and I know that we can make it better, I do not want everybody to feel that I am putting my staff into a trouble.

P: Don't twist my request into the story that I am difficult to handle. (Big letters on screen)

J: Yes, I feel this time is quite obvious. I used to say that I am very glad to have the staff from the music company, who have the attitude towards work similar to mine. They may feel that we should look at the MV, then hold a meeting to discuss whether we can make it better.

P: Telling the truth, in the past when I never saw you in person, every time I look at you (on screen), I always feel that you are so handsome that it may be too perfect, like a drawing than reality. But, after I have interviewed you a few times, I feel that you speck out from your heart. Are there anybody telling you that you are good at electrifying (Fang Dian…..i.e. to make fans feel like being electrified)?

J: (laugh shyly) Hah..it's ok.

P: Ok?

J: I feel….I feel that….actually electrifying or not….Um….actually when I was a child, while talking to other, I had to pay attention and look at the person who I was talking with. Therefore, I feel that while I am talking to others seriously, I will pay attention to him. I feel that it is not polite if you do not look at him. Somebody may feel like that (i.e. I am electrifying)…, but I am not at all. I do not have that kind of intention at all.

P: I know you do not because electrifying unintentionally is the highest level of electrifying. (Big letters on screen)

J: But..

P: You have no intention to electrify but others feel fantastically like being electrified.

J: Umm..

P: There are many people working with you such as those female co-stars. That's why they have a rumor with you, isn't it?

J: I feel that those are just rumors. Actually, everything is ok.

On Screen: Reaction between Yan Cheng Xu and the girls around him

On screen, the love of Shan Cai and Dao Ming Si is hot like a fire. In real life, the relationship between Da S and Yan Cheng Xu has also been eyed by others. The friendship has developed to an interesting reaction between them. The climax of the drama, especially several kissing scenes made the relationship between Da S and her boyfriend, Blue Lan Zhen Long became tense for a while and became a hot topic during that period.

Meteor Garden has brought fame and money to the actors in it. Reaction between Yan Cheng Xu, who becomes a heartthrob of thousands, and his female friends around him becoming a focus of people. Intimate reaction between Producer Cai Zhi Ping, who made him a star, and Yan Cheng Xu in the celebration party for finishing of the filming was brought to attention by the media and become an Old girl-Young boy love rumor. This made Cai Zhi Ping not know whether to cry or laugh.

Last year, Yan Cheng Xu's first movie "Magic Kitchen" was filmed. His rumored girlfriend was changed to the female lead Sammi Cheng Xiu Wen. However, the rumor does not affect their friendship. Recently, Yan Cheng Xu joined Sammy Cheng's concert as a guest is the best evidence. Recently, the close relationship between Yan cheng Xu, whose every move is eyed by the reporters, and Taiwan top model, Lin Zhi Ling, has become a new focus. Last few years, they both came out together and were shot a photo by a reporter. At that time, Lin Zhi Lin explained that they both are only good friends in model career, who have known each other for more than 4 years. Now, Yan Cheng Xu launches his first individual album. Lin Zhi Ling has bought it to support her good friend. After becoming famous, their close relationship becomes a good thing in the entertainment circle.

Lin Zhi Ling: Jia You Jia You Jia You. I will definitely buy your album.

No matter how strong the electrical power of Yan Cheng Xu, not all the female co-stars were rumored with him such as Michele Saram in MG2. She was sick quite often, like Yan Cheng Xu, so they understand each other but did not talk much. Another is Valen Xu Ru Yun, who had a bed scene with Yan Cheng Xu in Come to My Place. She and Yan Cheng Xu has only a purely friendship.

P: I would like to ask you whether you have ever been moved by your co-stars or not.

J: (smile very shyly. Big letters "Shy" blinking throughout the screen) moved? I feel…er…er …of course, I have sometimes felt like…why is this artist so nice? ….In all aspects,….she is very very….. How to say….I feel so comfortable being with her.

P: like getting along quite well. (laugh)

J: Getting along well. Yes, it can be said like that. This is because sometimes when shooting a film, the actors and the actresses would have quite a lot of time being together, especially the male lead and the female lead. Given such contact for a long period of time, there can actually be a cause for more development. Of course, I cannot deny the fact that sometimes you may be moved by the opposite side.

P: So, actually, have you ever been moved or not?

J: Why does the studio suddenly become hotter? (Big letters "Hot")

P: Is there any time that you really like her but your fame or hers have made it impossible for you both to develop the love relationship? or have you ever develop the relationship to that stage? (Big letters beside Jerry "Dumb")

J: No No. I feel that in this career, to be in love with a person in the same circle is very difficult. This is because of our work. I always have to shoot a series for a moment, then, launch an album, then shoot a film, then, shoot a series, then…always change. It is very often that you have to stay with this team for 2-3 months, then change and change. You have to meet a lot of people. Therefore, I feel that you may have some feeling for the opposite side for that moment. You can let yourself be moved by the role and have such feeling. But after you jump out of it, everybody is still only a good friend. There is no chance to develop because we have not much time to be together or contact each other so often. Anyway, I am quite lucky because since I entered into this circle, the female co-stars I have met are all nice. I have quite a good impression on all the female co-stars I have worked with.
