Taiwan idol Jerry Yan is going to set a new milestone in his career. According to reports, Jerry Yan is right now in deep discussions with heavenly king Jay Chou's agent Yang Jun Rong, if they come to an agreement, these two Asia heavenly kings Jerry Yan and Jay Chou will come together.
7 years ago, Jerry Yan became an instant hit when he starred in "Meteor Garden", 2 years ago he decided to go solo and have his own office, he took on "The Hospital", acting with skilled actors such as Ng Man Tat and Leon Dai, he showed his ambition to challenge himself. Afterwards he, Alan Luo and Wu Zun filmed "Basketball Fire", producing the strongest idol drama cast this year, the overseas rights to it are hot and shows Jerry Yan's value, he continues to gain points in his artistic career.
How will Jerry Yan go from here? Actually in these two years, there's been plenty of big agents wanting him, why is he choosing to work with Yang Jun Rong who doesn't have a background in dramas? It's quite interesting. Jerry Yan plans to film the idol drama "Starlit" funded jointly by China, Japan and Taiwan in May, both sides have yet to sign a contract, according to reports it relates to Jerry Yan having a new working partner.
Jay Chou just finished his Tianjin concert, this week he is holding a concert in Beijing, Yang Jun Rong arrived early, he said: "If I wanted to make money, I'll be happy enough with Jay, but after talking with Jerry, I think they are both very amazing youngsters, I want to help them get closer to their dreams, this is the pressure of happiness."
Yang Jun Rong admitted to speaking with Jerry Yan a few times, they have just about finalised their collaboration, Yang Jun Rong became more and more interested as he talked to Jerry Yan: "Jerry and Jay are both exactly the same, they are both very kind, they are introvert and are not good at expressing themselves, they are particularly stubborn towards things they like, if there's anything they don't like they won't do it."
Yang Jun Rong said: "This personality of having a requirement on the quality of oneself, on one side it has made them a success in the entertainment industry, but on another side it can easily create misunderstanding from the outside world, who think they are hard to deal with, actually they just lack understanding and communication."
Towards Jay Chou and Jerry Yan, Yang Jun Rong smiled saying: "They are both Capricorn, they both grew up in a single parent family, in terms of profession, they both put emphasis on the work, they have dreams and they have ideals, at the same time they have very high standards! Hearing them talk about dreams and ideals of their work, even I'm moved."
Towards Jerry Yan from a different domain, Jay Chou's gold plated agent Yang Jun Rong said: "If there's any chance, we'll try to work together, we don't want pressure on both sides."
Yesterday the staff members at Jerry Yan's office were very low key about this, they only expressed that they will make an announcement on this in a few days, no matter what this is a good thing. Jerry Yan and Jay Chou are two heavenly kings in the drama world and music industry respectively, the two once played basketball together privately, they officially collaborated in work many years ago only in the Pepsi commercial, in the future after they became brethren, what sparks will they create, fans will certainly be looking forward to it.
