Jerry creates his own clan
Builds his own group, but very hard to break it up with old boss

Jerry Yan creates his own company and will manage his own work.

Jerry Yan did not continue his contract with Fu Long as it ended last July, he created his own group Star Jerry (Yan Cheng Xu Entertainment Work Group) and will start his official fan club, the future [Principal who will ring the bell]. The manager of Aaron Kwok will temporarily manage JERRY yan and said: “He is really the boss.” His former manager Ke Fu Hong doesn’t like to express anything about his future work, but both sides still have commercials and contracts that has to be finished. It has to delay until next year.

A Few days back, Jerry Yan went to Malaysia to attend the Oral B event, beside him is his Fu Long assistant, the staffs he was with were carrying [Jerry Yan Entertainment Work Group] badges, those badges were printed before leaving, in this trip the one who is in charge of his media exposure is IRENE but didn’t admit that she’s involved in this company, it’s because his English is poor, so she is to help him work out with foreign cases.

Jerry is a Xi MiaoJi (dunno what it means), in asia alone his market for commercial is 1 million , if one helps him get a few more commercials then one can relax and gain more money, this kind of good fortune of course many managers would want to grab him, but he also has his own perspective in this entertainment circle, after his contract with his previous manager he created his own clan. Not just this, Media Asia Company’s boss Lin Jian Yue had a chance to work with him in <Magic Kitchen>, he really liked him, but he never admitted he is going to manage for Jerry.

Liu Wei Zi will take care of future contracts
As of now he has favored Liu Wei Zi to take care of his future contracts, she says: “In the future after he has been released and become free, he will create his own fan club, then open his own company , everything will wait until the end of the year’s <The Hospital> contract finishes.” She didn’t admit if she will be helping him in the future as a friend, in a way, there shall be a no pressure no contract basis of managing relationship.


Jerry’s old contract is with Angie Cai, but she transferred it to Ke Fu Hong’s Company Fu Long and took over, that is why whatever he is earning, it is always divided int two before it enters his pocket, will he continue his contract? Angie Cai said: “This will be Fu Long’s decision, Zaizai has continued his Fu Long contract last year. Fu Long has to help Jerry with some of the contracted commercials and TV series until next year, in these times he has to be under his old managing company.”

Acting Manager Zhi Xiang Li said: “He has built his own company, deciding for himself in this business, this suites him better, but in the future there will always be a team up, early next year F4 will release their new album and there’s also the concert.” But Fu Long and Jerry Yan’s relationship is still good, When Lin Zhi Ling had an accident last July she even accompanied him to Da Lian to visit her.

F3 still do not know Baolong has walked out on them

Yan Chengxu has chosen to fly solo and be his own boss. F3 not only know nothing about it but also has to guard against the situation of "three controlled by one" in the future. F3 has many projects planned for next year, but if boss Yan asks too high of a price, the upcoming F4's 3rd album and a world tour consisting of dozens of concerts for F4's 5th anniversary might end up falling through.

The eldest walks out and become one controlling three

Because the eldest of F4 has gone away by himself, where will F3 who are separated suddenly go? Will they reunite with Yan Chengxu to be F4? It will all depend on if Yan Chengxu alone is satisfied with the mode and price that the two sides collaborate.

In other words, by flying solo, Yan Chengxu has established his position as one controlling three; it proves that he has a vision in making the move.

Judging by the fact that F3's agency, Fulong, didn't know for sure until 1 or 2 weeks ago that Yan Chengxu, whose contract expired around July and August, had already started making his own contacts with vendor corporations, F3 most likely do not know of Yan Chengxu's latest move.

Next year, all are fully loaded

But Fulong reveals that F3 has many projects planned for next year, mainly CDs. Each of them will be extremely busy.

According to plans, Zhou Yumin (Zaizai) who is currently filming 'Silence' will release his 3rd album and his movie is still under negotiation. Wu Jianhao, who was promoting 'Dragon Squad' in Hong Kong yesterday, has two TV series under negotiation, besides CDs and movies.

Besides CDs and TV series, Ken Zhou, who has just finished 'The Far East International Trial,' will continue filming movies in China next year. As for Yan Chengxu, Fulong doesn't know of his plans next year. But previously they were engaging in talks of releasing F4's 3rd album and holding a world tour consisting of dozens of concerts for F4's 5th anniversary.

Performances: fair as individuals

In other words, by flying solo, Yan Chengxu can either advance to attack or retreat to defend. He not only can fight alone but also plays the key role in determining whether F4 can pick up and continue their former relation. He has already started learning paying salaries. In case he unilaterally decides that the price, schedule, or terms don't work for him, F4 won't see the light of day.

In the past, when F4 work individually, their respective performances were just fair. But if they combine, their power was so strong that it swept across the whole South-East Asia. A few months ago, the photo book that they shot together blew the Japanese females away. In the future, F3 are bound to have to strengthen their individual ammunition. Striking in Twos will be the latest mode of collaboration.

F4 always combat most effectively when they unite. Missing the eldest Yan Chengxu (right), it remains to see whether the remaining F3, Wu Jianhao (left), Zhou Yumin, and Zhu Xiaotian can still exert great money-drawing power.

[XING SHI LI]: Jerry Yan did not leave F4

Zhong Hua News 03.11.2005

IF POSTING ELSEWHERE PLEASE CREDIT Translations to: yanaliao@F4PILIPINAS


About helping Jerry Yan to manage his projects, it created a big fuss, [Xing Shi Li] President Liu Wei Zi clarified yesterday, Jerry Yan did not leave F4, future encounters in contracts will be settled after the filming of [The Hospital].

Liu Wei Zi who also helped Aaron Kwok and Luo Cheng Nan Hai etc to be famous, is also Feng Fei Fei’s trusted manager. After establishing her own group she manages to film [Ai Qing Bai Pi Shu], [Lian Xiang], [Wo Zhi Zai Hu Ni] and many more TV Series, even before Jerry Yan started he already knew Liu Wei Zi but he never had a chance to work with her.

This time, because Jerry Yan has already finished his contract with [Fu Long] last July and did not renew, he started [Star Jerry Yan Cheng Xu Entertainment Work Group] and aside from creating his own Official Fan Club, all related to managing his projects are handled by Liu Wei Zi, not realizing that it would create such a big deal that it made the very low-profiled Liu Wei Zi to be unbearably disturbed by this situation.

Liu WEi Zi especially mentioned and pointed out, [Jerry Yan did not leave F4, right now, there are many future F4 projects that are scheduled to him, after his contract with Fu Long ended, the reason he did not continue his contract at once, is because he wanted to clearly consider about his future, how it is to be able to do a better plan for himself, and his lead time for considering on this matter, will be after the filming of [The Hospital].

Liu Wei Zi also wanted to clear that her working relationship with Jerry Yan is [purely a friendly assurance, it does not include any contract, no manager’s commission, because as a friend, I hope that he can find a business that will really let him go up one level, achieve a better style, and hoping that the future Jerry Yan can endorse into the international market, to be the respectable boss that will make Taiwan Artists famous and hot throughout Asia and give him a very good future, our partnership, will only end until he thinks he doesn’t need a friend’s help anymore, many concerned people do get anxious too much. ]

thanks to zenachu @ OnlyF4.

Yan Chengxu's revenue increases a whopping 30% after being his own boss


Yan Chengxu starts his own company. F4 is formally disbanded. The original plan of reuniting F4 in CD, commercials, movies, and concert tour all have to be put on hold. F4 are estimated to lose NT$80 millions (about HK$20 millions) in revenue. On the other hand, being his own boss, Jerry will save the commissions charged by a management company and increases his income by 30%.

Yan Chengxu, Zhou Yumin, Zhu Xiaotian, and Wu Jianhao became red-hot five years ago for starring in Taiwan TV series 'Meteor Garden.' They swept across the South-East Asia using the name of F4. Their annual incomes are calculated in NT$100 millions. In recent years F4 have been working separately and reunite occasionally for commercials. Because Yan Chengxu frequently had disputes with his manager Angie Chai, two years ago Jerry moves to a sister company, Fulong, headed by Ge Fuhong. Collaborations among F4 remain intact.

Jerry's contract expired in July but he used the filming of TV series 'Giant White Tower' as an excuse and refused to negotiate a contract with the management company. After considering for several months, Jerry decided to start his own company, a work shop including his name - 'StarJerry entertainment team', to handle his work. Reportedly, Jerry has invited Arron Kwok's previous Taiwan manager, Liu Weici, to work with him. The new company has 8 employees and is separated into two departments, respectively for Taiwan and overseas business.

Jerry's recent Oral-B promotions in Hong Kong and Malaysia were the first assignment of StarJerry. Currently StarJerry's staffers are busily contacting corporations in various locations for commercial deals.

Commercials F4 represent together will be broken up in the future. Pepsi is one of them. Jerry was already on his own in the commercial for the mid-Autumn festival.

Jerry's formal departure from Fulong will impact next-year's F4 reunite project the most. Originally F4 planned to release its 5th anniversary album in Jan, film 4 commercials in Feb, and hold 6 Hong Kong concerts in Mar. and start the world tour in April. Their incomes in these four months alone will reach as high as NT$80 millions (about HK$20 millions).

Via his own company, Jerry indicates to Fulong that detailed discussions on next year's F4's work will have to wait until the end of the month when he finishes filming 'Giant White Tower'. Schedules and pays all will have to be renegotiated. Except for the release of the F4 album which is postponed to May, the rest of the work will be put on hold temporarily. On the surface, Jerry will lose the part of income working as F4. But in fact, being his own boss, his income will increase by 30% and he no longer needs to pay commissions to any management company.
