Translated News
China Times sure make a 360 degree turn, yesterday's article was all abt Jerry being selfish for personal gain, not cooperative & not doing his duty as a TW. suddenly, today they remembered that Jerry allocated 2 months in 2006 to become World Vision spokesperson for child sponsorship for 8 Asian countries, the 1st Taiwanese for such a post & going to many Asian countries to promote such a cause in his capacity as a Taiwanese.
frankly, how many Tw artiste or their management wld do so, giving so much time to a charity, a non-monetary project??? & this is the person they consider greedy for money??? i sure hope those so-called "F3" fans cld see clearly for once.

Summary:
Endorsing For The Tourist Bureau
F4 Is Missing One
All Because Of Bao Long's Uncooperation?
The Tourist Bureau invited F4 to perform together in an idol drama. It ended up with the rumors of Yan Cheng Xu's refusal to participate due to his concerns in talent fee and unequal parts, and the situation has become F4 missing one. Once the news came out, it led to some strong reactions from quite a number of internet users, blaming Yan Cheng Xu for only concerning personal interest. Being a public figure, but he is not willing to contribute for improving TW's international image.
Ge Fu Hong and Chai Zhi Ping successfully bid the Tourist Bureau project with NT$81 millions using F4 as TW's Tourist Ambassadors in Korea and Japan. The project includes idol drama, 5 international and domestic press conferences and meet sessions, and 2 episodes of special tourist programs. However, since the beginning, it has been full of obstacles. Members of F4 have different opinions and tight schedules. Then there was rumor that Yan Cheng Xu alone requested $NT10 millions of talent fee and he keeps pushing off to sign any contracts. Until now, the project has lacked any progress for 3 months, and the Tourist Bureau correspondants are super anxious.
After the news of Yan Cheng Xu's not acting in the drama came out, a lot of internet users voiced their discontentment and suspected that Yan Cheng Xu's main goal was to make profit only. On the contrary, when looking at the artistes in HK and Korea, regardless their popularity, as long as it is for the country's benefits, everyone will come forward to participate and disregard the talent fee, such as Jackie Chan and Karen Mok participated in HK's tourist promotional CF, there were Rain, Pei Yong Jun, and Xun Yi Zhen, etc..., for Korea. Most artistes participated with zero or half of the talent fee.
Endorsing for TW's Tourist Bureau is going to upgrade F4's popularity overseas and TW's international image. Internet users all want 4 members to work together as a group, not concerning the talent fee and equal parts, and to become TW's pride. Besides, they also want to see F4 on the same stage again.
The Tourist Bureau secretary, Lin Jun Wei, who is responsible for this project indicates, after signing the contract with Chai Zhi Ping last November, the schedules have been delayed one after one. According to plan, the date of the press conference which should be held by the end of January has not established yet. In the contract, the period of performance was set to be one year. In other words, the idol drama must be completed and broadcasted by November this year, otherwise, it will be considered as breaking the contract. 3~ t$VT,l)`O5`
Ge Fu Hong, who just came back from Cannes said that a meeting has been set with Tourist Bureau this Friday and a final decision will be reached. Regarding internet users' complaints and suggestions, Ge Fu Hong defended loudly for Yan Cheng Xu, "Jerry is very obedient. I must say for him. Since the beginning, we all know that he does not have time due to a tight schedule, so he has never been asked to perform in the idol drama. Therefore, don't put the blame on him."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is this reporter Liu Yi's problem? After this Liu Yi talked to Ge, she still wrote up this attacking article with damaging headline to mislead the readers? As Ge said that they have never expected Jerry to participate in the idol drama due to scheduling reason, then what is it about the blame of wanting more talent fee and concerning unequal parts?
Ge and Chai have never expected Jerry to participate in the drama, then where did all those previous negative news articles by Chai come from? About the complaints by internet users/fans, the only accusations on Jerry I have seen were from those F1 pretending to be F4 fans who use this opportunity to attack Jerry.
You think this Liu Yi was ridiculous enough yesterday. Wait for her news article today.

F4 Endorsing For Tourist Bureau Project
Ge Fu Hong Confirmed that Bao Long Has Signed The Contract
For the project of F4's endorsing TW in Japan and Korea for Tourist Bureau, there was rumor that one of the endorsers, Yan Cheng Xu, kept refusing to sign the contract, and led to the project being on hold for 3 months. Yesterday, Ge Fu Hong, who successfully bid the project, confirmed personally that she has already got Yan Cheng Xu's endorsement contract. Yan Cheng Xu even promised that any time as long as Ge Jei wants, even he is requested to play a passerby in the drama, he won't have a problem.
Yan Cheng Xu won't participate in Tourist Bureau's idol drama, the general public have pointed the finger at Yan Cheng Xu blaming him for not being cooperative. This hurt "Little Rabbit's" feelings. Ge Fu Hong said, "When we planned the idol drama at the beginning, Jerry was never expected to be part of it. It is really not fair to put the blame on him." Feeling sorry for her 'favorite' being misunderstood, Ge Fu Hong further exlaborated. Yan Cheng Xu couldn't participate in the drama due to scheduling problem, but he promised to participate in a series of upcoming international and domestic endorsement activites, and talent fee is not a problem at all.
After F4 became popular, Yan Cheng Xu established his team STAR JERRY. Although he has no management contract with Fu Long, the mutual understanding still maintains. Ge Fu Hong disclosed, because of this Tourist Bureau project, F4 have even communicated in private and they will try their best to collaborate.
Regarding the blame of Yan Cheng Xu's not willing to sign the contract, Ge Fu Hong said, "That's because Jerry was busy at endorsing for World Vision in different places. He has signed the contract with us once he returned."
It is planned for F4 to have press conferences in Japan and Korea by early March, and the idol drama will start filming in April. Both sides were planned to meet today, but Tourist Bureau postponed the meeting to next Monday. Ge Fu Hong said, F4's Tourist Bureau endorsement project is hugh and it concerns TW's international image. It can't be failed. Recently, she has headache to just arrange schedule for overseas media reporting. Luckily, "the 4 boys" are very supportive, and this is the one thing she feels very pleased about.
(fatty2: poor Jerry. make the scapegoat by Angie Chai when it has nothing to do with him at all & bashed unfiarly by so called F3 fans).
