How well do you know F4? Do you have any questions you would like answered? Here's a series of lessons that you might like to take to get to know your idol a bit better! You just might be surprised at what you find out!
LESSON 1: Contracts
Amongst F4, the first to sign a contract is Ken, he was discovered by Angie Cai at "Shi Er Shao". At that time, she felt that Ken should enter the entertainment circle but she was yet to establish Comics, nor did she know that she would film <<Meteor Garden>>, hence she recommended Ken to Fu Long. His contract was for 10 years, it started in either 2000 or 2001.
F3 all signed 3 year contracts with Comics in 2001. The month can not be confirmed, but is around April, however, Jerry signed in August, hence F4 will end their Comics contract in 2004.
Class dismissed! See you all tomorrow

LESSON 2: Where their nicknames originated
Jerry Yan:
Bao Long: When filming <<Ma La Xian Shi>> his character name was Bao Long, it is one of the most commonly used name when referring to Jerry, though he does not like name personally, as it gives other the impression that he is ver violent and rough.
Xiao Bai Tu: This is because Jerry does not like Bao Long, hence he wants to use Xiao Bai Tu to change his image. During his first concert 2001 September Super Live Concert, he even said to everyone: "Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Bai Tu."
Shao Ye: Many fans, especially those in Mainland china like to refer to Jerry as Shao Ye, as in <<Meteor Garden>> he was DAO MING SI Shao Ye.
Yan Cheng Xu: Jerry's name was originally Liao Yang Zheng. When he was filming in "Xing Qing Gu Shi", he changed his name. He wanted to 'cheng' shou liu 'yan' (Withstand rumours), only then will his popularity be like "Xu" ri (morning sun) - bright.
Vanness:
Xiao V: Fans often use this, simple and because his chinese isn't that flash.
Er Jie: Only Zaizai uses this, because he calls Da S - "Da Jie" and Vanness happens to be younger than her, so he jokes that Vanness is "er jie". But also because Vanness is the second oldest out of the 4.
Xiao Yang Niu (Western Chick): When Vanness argues with Ken or Jerry, they would always rebut him with: "Western Chick" dare argue with me?"
Vic:
Zaizai: As stated in his pictorial book, this name was given to him by his grandmother, as he was a huge baby at birth weighing 3700g - it means "zhu zai".
Wu Wan: It means Wu Wang (Dance king) but due to his pronounication, it is now Wu Wan. The other F4 would always joke about this new 'Dance King".
Ken:
Tian Lao Ye: Used by Mainland China fans, it is as if all the happiness and tragedies in this world is controlled by him.
Jia Bao: This name came from his first show <<Ma La Xiao Shi>>, where his character was called Jia Bao. In the show, there was little pig, after filming Ken took it home to look after and calls it Jia Bao. But the pig died a year ago, hence not long ago the Comic Boyz gave him another one and Ken also calls it Jia Bao.

LESSON 3: F4's roles complications
<<Meteor Garden>>
- The first to settle on a role was Vanness acting as Mei Zuo, even though he wanted to play the role of Lei, as there are less speech.
- Ken tried out for the role of Dao Ming Si, but he wanted to play Lei, hence it was undecided.
- Angie Cai heard about Jerry on the newspaper and felt that he suited the role of Dao Ming Si and told him to attend the try-outs. But he came to try out for the role of Xi Men. It was then that the role of Xi Men and Dao Ming Si was decided - Ken and Jerry.
- Finding the person for Lei was the hardest, until Angie saw Zaizai waiting for a friend, his 'fa dai' expression landed him the role of Lei. He didn't want to act at first so Angie told him to attend classes, then he couldn't refuse and agreed to give the role a try.
- Da S knew that Angie was looking for F4, hence suggested Zhong Han Lian, who ended up playing the role of Ah Song. Also in Marmalade Boys, the role played by Wu Zhong Tian (Xiao Ming's teacher) also tried out to become F4 but was also unsuccessful.
<<Ping Qiong Gui Gong Zi>>
Zaizai and Jerry: It was originally for ZZ and Jerry to film the series but due to reports at the time claiming that Jerry is gay, hence they took him out of the role.
Zaizai and Ken: After much promotion, Ken took over the role of Shan Pu. He even said that he invested lots of money in the clothing to make himself fit the role of a gay. But in the end, due to fimling of Meteor Rain -Xi Men Pian, he had to change to a differen't role in the series.
<<Mi Tao Nu Hai>>
- Vanness was to act as Ah Li and Jerry as Dong Si Seng. After filming the first episode, the filmint was haulted for quite a while, Comics were not allowed to continue filming because Angie was not satisfied with one of the roles. After the stoppage, Jerry's had health problems and hence his role had to be changed.

31. Jerry joked about the scenes in MG2, "DMS gets killed in a car accident. Vanness immediately adds, "Mei Zuo was driving." Ken continues, "Xi Men phoned the police." ZZ concluded: "Lei was the murderer." It seemed as if it was all planned but of course it wasn't.

LESSON 5 - F4 and comparison with other groups
Past generation groups: F4 has always been compared with "Little Tigers", a year ago, the popularity standards can be said to be very similar in Taiwan, China and HK. But now, F4 is known by all Asian communities around the world. <<Meteor Rain>>'s 4 million sales record is said be the the first. To be honest, as a group, "Little Tigers" are better structured than F4, everyone's singing and dancing standards are similar. Whilst F4, each member have their own shortcomings and abilities, they have to make up for each other.
Present generation groups. There's "Wu Yue Tian", ENERGY, WeWe, 5566 and Comic Boyz in Taiwan. E02, E-Kids and SHINE in HK. The only group that comes close to F4 in terms of looks is WeWe, both of Shuai Ge calibre, of idol status. But in terms of popularity...it would just be stating the obvious.
FUNNY FACT: There was a serial called <<Chou Nu Da Fan Sheng>>, it was filmed by V5...where are they now? Also, for a MTV, a singer got 6 models the same build as himself to film - they ended up with the nickname of L7 - Lucky 7.
THOUGHTFUL FACT: Does this mean that F4 is the best? Of course not...there are two questions we need to consider...all students pay attention!
1. How can we make F4 transform from boys to men? - Not in that sense lah! What I mean is how can you change Jerry to make him like the Andy Lau in Wu Jian Dao, ZZ to the Hero's Tony Leung...In other words, they must transform from their 'boys' image otherwise, the roles they play will be very limited.
2. Attract more male audiences: F4 has alread conquered the female audiences, from ages 2-77, all seven continents. What about the guys? They need to film stuff that will attract the male audience...which superstar has only female audiences?
There's homework to think about girls! Class dismissed!

LESSON 6 - Brothers and sisters
This should be a piece of cake for all of you!
Jerry:
Youngest in the family. He mentioned three other brothers/sisters in his Amphibian. He has the best relationship with the one closest to him in age. (They are of the same father but differen't mother)
Vanness:
His profile is the most complete. Vanness has two elder sisters from the same father, one of them is the Stacy Wu Jia Jia who was a member of BABES. And his younger brother is Geoffrey and younger sister Melody (yep, she's Zai2's fan) from a different father.
thanks to marmoetz for the info.
Ken:
Mysterious but should have one younger brother and sister. His younger brother should be about 12 yeras old. He lives with his mother in Singapore.
Zai Zai:
He only has one brother, who is a little shorter than him - 175cm.

LESSON 7 - Favourite sayings and habitual movements
Have you noticed that these four boys all have their little habitual movements and common phrases ...all very cute!!
JERRY: - When he is doing interviews, he likes to use the phrase <<ran2 hou4>> (then..) If you don't believe me, take out his Amphibian Vcd and have a watch yourself! - His favourite phrase seems to be <<Er...dui4 ah>> or <<Err..ke3 neng2 ba>> (possibly). Then the next one would be <<hai2 hao3 lah>> - What is his favourite expresson? When people ask him a question, he would always consider it carefully, about 30 secs and then reply. It's only an interview Jerry!! If you get it wrong...you won't get sent to jail lah! - Have you noticed that in MG2, Jerry like to lick his lips? It's a newly developed habit of his... - When he NG or doesn't know how to answer a question, his eyes would bulge!!
Zai Zai:
- <<Mei2 you3 lah..>> is used when he says a cold joke and tries to hide..then he would rub his nose. - When he NG's too many times, he would call out <<gui3 da3 qiang2>> - His latest phrase is <<ren2 huo2 zhe gan4 ma2 jin3 zhang1>> (Why should people live under stress) - ZZ's dance steps to Andy Lau's song is the most "in" dance..even Andy himself imitated ZZ and had a laugh...
VANNESS:
- When doing photo shoots, Vanness likes to spreadout his arms, like wings doing his favourite "big bird displaying wings" pose. - When he is with ZZ, they like to combine their talk into "Hehe" and "Haha" language. - Of course not to forget - Thank you Lord Jesus Christ
KEN: - Actually, he doesn't have any really...probably coz he seems so mature. But he does like to laugh madly and yawn in front of the camera!
F4:
- Together, they like to say "Hi Everyone, we are F4".

LESSON 8: What type of girls do F4 like?
JERRY: - He seems to have a lot of fate with older woman, not referring to that of rumours, Jerry himself admitted to falling in love with girls older than him, not once but 3 times!! At the end of 2001, due to the rumours spreading about Jerry, he would often talk to an older 'sister', who is a psychologist to help him relieve the pressure. - Possibly this is because he likes knowledgable girls - like Taozi jie's type - Also, the girl must be kind and respectful towards elders, must also like animales, watching movies, playing basketball, will ride at the back of his motorbike to go out and eat... - Also...must not look too 'kong3 long2' (dinosaur)
Zai Zai: - Zai Zai like active girls, he feels that to be able to exercise together with a girl is very romantic. (Like Xiao S type - active) - He doesn't like girls that are too thin. He told reporters that when hugging Da S and Ah Ya...he feels that he are too skinny. He also mentioned that his past 5 girlfrirends are all quite 'rounded' - He likes girls that are "shun4 yan3" ...as for where? - the calves... - Besides having a good appetite, the girl must be active, like dogs and be a professional at computer games. Next, they must like cars and sleep... - Also...she must not be afraid of the cold...coz ZZ is known for is cold jokes! She must have good hearing and quick thinking - because ZZ's mandarin isn't too flash...and tends to resort to hehe and haha...so she must know what he is saying!
KEN: - Very easy because it's simply - Karen Mok...no...just that kind, independent, has taste and very good character. - Teeth must be perfect - or else how can she match the 'laughing king'? - Best not to be a spend thrift - Ken's very stingy...likes to save lah... - Must like similar music, or else wouldn't you faint upon hearing Trip Hop and Funky? - Afraid of being dirty? That's problem...coz he has a pig and a cat...but moreover, he likes to go to the market!!
VANNESS: - Hard to see but Vanness likes 'princess' types - Must enjoy family life...have to get along with his mother!! - Not religious? Then you might find it hard to get used to him...his bedtime story might be the Bible stories! - Don't even think about being lazy - he'll be sure to drag you to the gym or for a jog!
Think you fit any of the criterias?? Well too bad...coz with their busy schedule doubt they'll have time for a girlfriend!! Lol...I'll be there in line waiting before you!

LESSON 11: F4 Tears Garden
There's an old saying "boys don't cry". When we see F4 cry, how do we feel? Here are some of their tears:
JERRY: 1. When Jerry and Ken filmed <<Ma La Xian Shi>>, the last episode with Jerry in it, (39 or 40) Bao Long told all his friends that he was migrating to Canada - that instant he cried. It was very real, very sad and very ugly, the whole cast cried. It seemed that Jerry wasn't acting because it was so real...Doubt they can ever produce that again.
2. Another scene is when DMS broke up with SC on that rainy night...One shot showed Jerry watching SC leave, a large droplet of tear rolled down his face...it nearly broke my heart!
3. Next would be when Jerry cried on Taozi's program in 2001; then 2002, when Jerry appeared in front of the media for a press conference...he completely broke down.
4. The most moving would be when he said: "We have been to 12 cities, held 19 concerts, during them there was laughter and tears..." As he spoke, his voice seemed to tighten and Jerry and F3's eyes redden...what can I say?
Zai Zai: 1. When he cried to SC in MG on the beach - that is a classic. He even told Ah Ya that he was most satisfied with that performance.
2. In 2001, after the release of his album, holding concerts and attending school, the work load finally got the better of him. With a day without eating and sleeping, he cried as soon as he boarded the car driving him home after school.
VANNESS: 1. He mentioned that when filming Meteor Rain and kssing Aisha, it made him remember breaking up with his girlfriend. That's why he paused during the filming...
2. When they were celebrating their anniversary, Vanness was unusually quiet, when Angie talked to him, he cried out immediately...because he was homesick. That's why Angie allowed him to go back to the US for a while...
3. During the HK concert, Vanness, when singing <<Xiang Xiang Shi Ge Ni>>, was lying on the stage - reason? Because he was in tears!
KEN: Ken always appears to be strongest one, when he's down or sad, he never reveals it openly. Possibly, this is why his 'crying scenes' are so unforgettable. In <<Meteor Rain>>, the scene when he was on the rooftop with Xiao You and saw the billboard - Zui Ai Xi Men, tears ran down his face, falling onto her shoulder. His face was filled with regret...
2. During an interview for the launch of Meteor Rain album. F4 was interviewed one by one separately, but only Ken was crying.
He said without F3 he would not be what he is right now. He already sacrifies a lot of thing to achieve what he got rit now, and for the first time , its all worth it cause he has F3 as his best friend. At the end of interview, he thanks F3 for accept him as part of them and taught him a lot of things. credit goes to snow white for providing the info!! Thankyou!
Lately, there have been many occasions when the four guys are close to tears...possibly due to exhaustion or maybe it's because they are thankful. Thankful that God has given them so many opportunities, so many fans to guide them through their tough times. Or because they are afraid that they will be parting with their collegues...Peng Peng, Ah Juan...will their collaboration with new people be successful? Students...we must support them all the way - F4 JIA YOU!!

LESSON 12: F4 and their aspirations
"I'm DMS. Today I want to talk about the topic "My Aspiration". I want to protect Dad, Mum, Sister, and Xi Men, Mei Zuo and Lei, also my wife. I don't want them to be hurt by anyone, I don't want them to be sad, so I want to grow up quickly, this is my wish." That's the little DMS' slow but definite speech coming out of a take, causing SC to flood QH's car with tears on Valentine's Day...
Students, we are always growing whether it be in age or in knowledge. During this process we are setting and achieving goals and dreams. So have F4 achieved their goals? Is it harder for them than it is for us?
JERRY: - In his Amphibian book, he wrote that he wanted to own his own farm, he's already thought of the name for it - "Gang3 Wan1 Farm". This would be a dream of his for the future...we wouldn't want to have to visit his farm just to see him would we? - A goal in the short term for him would be to become a director and to work with Director Dai Li Reng. This should not be hard to put into practice. To be honest, with Jerry's personality, having a job behind the scenes might make him happier. But we wouldn't be as happy... - In Amphibian, Bao Long revealed that he hopes to take up in "international theatre productions". Be clear everyone - it's theatre we are talking about. - In his personal life, he wants to save up $5million to purchase a house for his mother...
Zai Zai: - Apparently, ZZ has always wanted to be kao3 gu3 jia1 and study dinosaurs...it's only after he became HZL that he gave up on that. - His other aspiration is to become a mechanic. - Or he wouldn't mind opening a snack shop.
KEN: - He has always wanted to be a chief. When they were in the US, F3 wanted to go skiing but he told them to count him out, because he's rather stay behind and cook for the other three. Maybe he can start a "Ken Can Cook" Book! - Actually, Ken's aspiration since youth has always been related to music. JIA YOU!
VANNESS: - The most fortunate amongst the four would be Vanness, his goals in life were to release an album and hold a concert in the US - they have both been achieved. Though it took lots of hard work, Vanness has treasured every minute of it. - There might be one more wish, to build a church on Zhong Xiao Dong Road.
These are F4's aspirations and goals in life...what are yours? Have you given up on them? Or trying to achieve them one step at a time? Persist until the very end! JIA YOU!

LESSON 13: F4 and mischief
There's this saying: "When you like someone, it's not a feeling you can control." Well...when it comes to F4, when they get up to mischief, it's not something they can control either. But will their mischievous behaviour put us off? No way! Coz they are our loved ones!
So what mischief have they gotten up to? Or how do they "zheng3" each other?
JERRY: - He is often the victim of F3's mischief, even on his birthday, they won't let him off easy. During the "Kua Nian" Concert, the three naughty kids saw Jerry's birthday cake and decided to play with the cream. They dabbed it onto his face and wouldn't let him wipe it off during the next song, so he was stuck with cream on his face for the whole of Asia to see. Everyone knows that Jerry likes to look his best...well not when his friends are around!
- The other was when they were in Spain filming the ending kiss scene for MG2, F3 wanted Da S to smear on lots of lip gloss. Jerry, who knew nothing about this, kissed and kissed and kissed...while the other three were laughing until they were in tears, when the director called out cut, half his face was covered in lip gloss...only when the whole cast exploded into laughter, did he know he was fallen for F3's tricks once again!
F4: They were walking down the street with their manager, then suddenly the four of them decided to walk in a manner that pushed the manager in to the walls. Just imagine being crowded by 4 180cm guys! actually i wouldn't mind
VANNESS: F4's mischief king is Vanness. It was a very hot day and he decided to put sugar into his manager's shoes, the sugar melted and became very sticky...ew...can you imagine? He was in the bad books of his manager for a few days! nobody try this at home ok?
VANNESS and Zai Zai: Their sense of humour must be the hardest to understand in the universe. When they walk together on the streets and come across someone that is wearing something strange, they would make their eyes bulge out and stare for a second before exploding into laughter, scaring the pedestrian, thinking something drastic happened!
KEN: When they were on MUCH TV for an interview long ago, they were asked what they thought about releasing a pictorial book. Ken asked the question: "Lu4 bu1 lu2 dian3?" (reveal dots or not??). Everyone, F3 and the reporter, had no idea what he was on about. So he added, "If it's 2 dian3, then it would be Jerry and Vanness, because they have muscles, if it was 3 dian3...then it would be ZZ...people still were clueless, then he said: "ZZ has a big nose!" That was just the ultimate, because every interview after that, the host would point out and crack a joke about ZZ's large nose! hahah..ZZ has 3 dots...hehe...
Class dismissed!

LESSON 14 - F4's yi(1) qi(1) yi(1) hui(4) [once in a life time]
Xi Men, whilst eating snacks with Xiao Geng, tells her how he lives each day as they are all once in a lifetime. But that moment, he never actually understood what it meant...hence losing his loved one. So what does each F4 consider as their 'once in a lifetime' event?
JERRY: "When Music Party started for about five minutes, a stream of meteor rain shot through the sky, and following that he went on stage. He said to over twenty thousand fans: "I can finally talk to you without it the media distilling my words..." Then the twenty thousand fans erupted into screams and cheers, that was the most anticipated and craved moment for Jerry, to be able to share his feelings with everyone. In a person's lifetime, to be able to share the same feeling with twenty thousand people is a fortunate thing...and Jerry was at the center of it....
The other moment would be the story he told in Amphibian: "He went to a family wedding celebration with his mum and everyone saw him and started to line up for his autograph. That moment, he saw his mum's face filled with happiness, to him that was worth more than a billion dollars. And that was his happiest day ever..."
VANNESS: Again this was during Music Party: "Up until now, I can still remember that moment..."(Vanness) "It was the last scene, during the second Taiwan Concert. The ending music started and the audiences' screams were as loud as thunder. With the screams, the large red curtain came down. Us for and the dancers and workers all hugged in one big group, I was hugged tightly by someone and at the same time hugging someone else. I could feel that everyone was feeling the same happiness and emotions, I had to breathe deeply to control my overwhelming emotions. No matter what the future holds, that moment would be engraved in my memory forever..."
KEN: "When I was 17, I had this dream that one day I woud be onstage, with an audience listening to me sing, cheering for me...so thank you...thank you very much!" - KEN on Music Party
"It was the first time in their life that the four of them faced so many friends that supported them. <<Meteor Garden>> was their stepping stone to fame. What 'hong2' to them was a concept that probably they didn't quite grasp, they only knew about the large workloads and the numerous media reports. It was only until they went on stage and performed to the twenty thousand supportive fans, did they finally understand. It was a monumental feeling, especially for Jerry and Ken, two guys that had a tough childhood. To them it felt like the rough times have finally passed, while for Vanness, it was the feeling when you get upon achieving your goal in exchange with all the hard work put in."
Zai Zai: Being the youngest out of F4 and in his family, he has always been the most spoilt by F3, besides when faced with quitting school, he has not been faced with that much hardship in life, nor has he been hit in the face with the the cruel reality of this world. Hence, everything to him does not possess the same meaning for him as it does for F3. But one thing that has overwhelmed his is: "to meet these 3 great xiong1 di4, Ou di, Da S", these are friends that would be happy to go to 'hell' with.
These are the once in a lifetime moments for F4...what are yours?
Class Dismissed!!
