This article is from vol. 428 of a magazine called "Contemporary Music" (not sure it is the right English name?) published 2 times per month by Hei Long Jiang publisher in Mainland China. The magazine was awarded "the most popular magazine for young people" in the past.

Mystique

I think that the so-called mystique has little relevance with exposure, you can even guess Ah Xu's reaction when he is facing the public and media, no matter what the situation is, he is with the same kind of attitude. Does rare appearance in public cause so erratic? Even if he is in front of you, you still can not catch a real him. Destroying the walls built by his staff for him, destroying the walls built by his fans for him, honor, good reputation, slander, abusive. The glory and chains given by others all are not belong to him. The real mystery of Ah Xu is --himself.

Not real forever

Got used to look for his agent when he is not available to be reached, and especially after he joined the Jay's "Jie wei er". Agents are particularly important in terms of artists. and as Ah Xu's agent, an add-on "function" is polishing.

Embellishment to an agent who has super communication skills is not a big problem. But the information got from his agent inevitably lost its original meanings sometimes. More curiosity towards him rising mostly are caused by the indirect communication problems with him by all these kinds of factors. Starlit's press conference will be held soon, the media treats double-J on the same stage as a big gimmick, his agent said: "we did not arrange other work for that day, but it is not for sure (to attend) yet." Paradoxical response. Is Ah Xu too busy to attend or is it actually not his business? This problem is just like he indeed is too arrogant or the arrogant one is only his staff. What words and actions on earth are actually from him? How many sides do Yan Cheng Xu actually have? Myth, can not understand why! If they can be interpreted as Ah Xu's high popularity and high rank of an alternative embodiment, maybe we do not need to think too hard about what his real is or those unreal things surrounding him.

"Step back" always

No one can be like him, with less drama production, he still gain many major awards and earn fortune at the end of each year. It is no wonder that advertisers, television producers, and media all love to run after him. Finally it is hard to say whether the "superstar" is because of his own success or the public's interests. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Ah Xu is flattered by all these. Actually this is how he think usually. Not radical, would rather be forgotten by the whole world. Even praised by some people, he will still see his own drawbacks. He has often stepped back, because only in such situation, he can see how much room left for improvement and how much efforts to put to achieve his goals if he move forward, this is a smart way to do things.

Today it looks that acting "Dong fang xiang" really is a help provided for his friend, as Ah Xu mentioned before. Do not understand why he finally choose this role to play since he had so many choices. But it is him to play that role, to live "Dong fang xiang"s life in the drama, so all his feelings during the filming process only belong to himself. What he learnt or if he felt any regrets, all such things, we can only tell from his different acting style and his own changes after filming this drama. He pay more attention on his acting now. "Starlit" is about to be released, he said that his role as Cheng Yue is pretty much like his own, so actually his true color shows in this drama. "Skip Beat" has encountered many problems, now the new troubles came out with investors, everyone was shocked by the bad news and felt very upset about that. Its director has begun to prepare for another drama. "Skip Beat" has been postponed indefinitely, but Ah Xu said that he would rather wait for it, he is very careful about choosing script, and he has waited this one for long time already, so he will continue to wait. He can afford it, quality is the only ultimate pursuit for him. Ah Xu is not afraid of time flying, not afraid of wrinkles, and not afraid of disappearing from the stage. Ah Xu is not deliberately provoke a mystery, but due to his nature.

They are calm and sober just like him

On his 32-year-old birthday, he was working for his new album during the daytime and had dinner with his mother together at night, he never celebrates his birthday. Since we are very curious about him, we also love to observe those people who are closed to him. We realize that those persons who are always around him have many similarity with him. They all like to keep low profiles. Relatively speaking, only intimate fans are "high profiles". Almost every year, they will prepare the big celebration for him on his birthday, the New Year's day . Advertising full page on newspapers and magazines to say happy birthday to him has become a tradition each year. And then raising funds to donate to charitable organizations for charity (More than 70,000 yuan has been raised and donated to World Vision this year). Ah Xu is very satisfied and happy with fans' activities.

Hundreds of Korean fans gathered at airport to welcome him when he went to Korea. They prepared a cake to celebrate his birthday at the airport. Although he only said "How are you?" "Thank you" in Korean, his face emotions totally "betrayed" him, with big smile all the time, even if still a bit shy, his satisfication at this moment from his bottom of heart still can be easily seen through. Ah Xu has ambition, is passionated to his career and life, postive and active towards his goals. What he is slowing down is just his own desires. When the blind affects the judgement, the arrogance threats the self-control, he then keeps quiet, calm and make a self-examination. Can't be high is an illusion, just like Ah Xu's fans, they always do things capable to do, knowing your place is not only monochrome of "ordinary".

Guan Ying plus more Starlit scenes

In the clip, Guan Ying said, "For the first time I have worked with Yan Cheng Xu, I feel very happy, as I feel that he is an actor whose acting is very reserved, which is very different from my extroverted style of acting. That's why I feel that one wonderful part of our working together is that we complement each other. At the beginning, I thought that he's the kind who could play and joke around, but then I thought that he intentionally tricked me. At the end, I realized that actually he did it really for the effect of the drama, and because of this, it made me more relaxed. However, one bad luck YCX had in the process of filming was that he had got too many opportunities to lift my weight. He didn't only carry me on his back and in his arms, and also on the bike behind him. That's why I feel sorry for him. He always told me, 'Don't eat any more. You little fatty.'"

Chen Qiao En's next man will be Jerry Yan?

Following on after Ming Dao and Ethan Ruan, who is Chen Qiao En’s next man? SETTV upcoming idol drama has approached Jerry Yan for the second time, inviting him to play the role of the arrogant and overbearing rich son; modified version of ‘Dao Ming Si’ is expected to resurface.

Qiao En has the title of ‘prosperous lady’ and Jerry is also the box-office guarantee. Till now, Jerry is the only person that is able to let Taiwan enter the Japanese idol drama market. One can imagine that if he collaborates with Qiao En, the resulting effect is bound to increase. In the drama, Qiao En will play the daughter of a Chinese herbal medicine father, and her role will still be the one she’s good at – ordinary everyday girl. As for Jerry, on the outside, his character is filial and courteous, but in private, he is all kinds of evil things; can be regarded as a villain character.

Everyone knows that Jerry has ‘turtle feathers’, he once considered a drama for 11 months, and during filming, he has considerable demands towards the scriptwriter, director, other characters and the environment. SETTV revealed that they have been in contact with Jerry since before the Chinese New Year, and he has requested to see the script. If he agrees, then he will be the most expensive male lead in the history of SETTV.

Last year, when Jerry was recording , he revealed that he would be filming a Taiwanese television drama this year. Yesterday, his manager Fenny expressed that they have received many drama invitiations, but nothing has been confirmed yet. At the same time, there are also rumours that GTV’s is intending to make a comeback; will Jerry agree to go back? Everything is subject to change.

Who will be Joe Chen Qiao En's next man? It was reported that Sanli has already contacted Jerry twice regarding a role in the upcoming drama, Fu Qi You An Kang, who is arrogant and domineer. There's hope that the revised version of DMS may have a chance to show up.

Chen Qiao En is always said to bring good luck to her "male lead" and Yan Cheng Xu is a box-office guarantee. Up to now, for the TW male idol who can successfully invade the Japanese market, he's the only one, with nobody else. We can forsee that if he works with Chen Qiao En, the impact will surely increase in times. In the drama, Chen is the daughter of the owner of a Chinese herbal store, and the role is an ordinary girl whom she is good at. Yan Cheng Xu's role is an ill-minded child of a company owner. On the surface, he is very filial and courteous, but in behind, he does all kinds of evil things, so his personality has some villainous quality.

Everyone in the world knows that Yan Cheng Xu cares about every detail. He has once considered picking up a role for 11 months. When filming, he has high requirements in different aspects, including the script, director, cast, and the environment. Sanli expressed that they had started contacting Yan Cheng Xu since before Chinese New Year, and YCX has asked to review the script. If this goes through, he will be the male lead with the highest talent fee from Sanli.

Last year, after YCX finished recording for Kang Xi, he reviewed that he would film a TW drama after Chinese New Year. Yesterday, his agent, Fenny, responded, "A lot of scripts have been offered, but nothing is confirmed yet." At this time, it is also rumored that GTV's Skip Beat may be resumed. Regarding whether there will be any changes in the original male lead, it's still unknown.

-----------

kkla: a revised version of DMS? As we know how Jerry doesn't want to repeat his work, this may be the turn off factor. However, I am more than happy to see Jerry work with companies other than GTV, especially Sanli's dramas always have the so called "habitual good ratings".

Jerry Yan loves his 'mother'; becomes Liu Rui Qi's driver

Jerry Yan loves his 'mother'; becomes Liu Rui Qi's driver, Friday February 13 2009, Taiwan

Jerry Yan loves his ‘mother’; accompanies Liu Rui Qi to eat hot pot, play basketball, during filming of PTS drama ‘Starlit’, when he realized that Liu Rui Qi was riding her bike, Jerry displayed his ‘filialness’ and became her driver to take her down the mountain.

Becomes best friends after 10 days together

During filming of ‘Starlit’, Jerry was rumoured to engage in a cold war with Terri Kwan, and the storm never seemed to stop. However, his relationship with Liu Rui Qi was extremely good. The first time Jerry saw Liu Rui Qi, he praised his ‘mother’: “So beautiful.” His sweet mouth immediately mesmerised her. Last year, ‘Starlit’ crew filmed for one month in Shanghai, and although Liu Rui Qi only stayed for 10 days, the ‘mother-and-son’ quickly became best friends.

Fiery scene; Liu Rui Qi shows care

The 2 both love to eat hot pot, and in the drama, there is a mother-and-son reunion scene. And the 2 even requested for a hot pot to be placed on the table. Then they would pick up their bowl, full of hot-pot ingredients and collide against each others, playing a funny wine toast game. Afterwards, Jerry ate too quickly, and accidentally burnt his mouth!

Jerry invests a lot into his acting, and during one mother-and-son dispute scene, he angrily smashes all the trophies on top of the piano. Before fiming officially began, Liu Rui Qi reminded him not to invest too much, or else he might injure himself.

Liu Rui Qi rides bike; King happy to help

Jerry stressed: “My ‘mother’ is a pro at basketball, before she was on the school team!” In private, the ‘mother-and-son’ had a good relationship, and were also good basketball teammates. During filming in Jiu Fen, whenever they had a break, Jerry and Liu Rui Qi would play basketball together. When filming finished and they returned to Taipei, Liu Rui Qi would ride her bike up the mountain as exercise, and Jerry offered to help her carry her bike down the mountain, saying: “Afterall, Liu Rui Qi is predecessor.”
