Jerry Yan and Leon Dai's flaming war spreads in the posters Source: Lian He Bao city.udn.com/v1/city/forum/article....5&cate_no=0July 21, 2006  Jerry (left) and Leon Dai met happily together for the promo poster shooting Going through for 4 months already, when he almost gave up on how to come up with the perfect "The Hospital" posters, has now finally made his own images yesterday. But until yesterday evening, Cai Yue Xun was still thinking on how to suit in Jerry and Leon's (see left photo) positions for the posters. Because he wanted to portray the hospital struggle, and human greed tug-of war, the drama is unavoidably heavy. As a result, the drama PR man Feng Yi Min laughed and said, " Just beginning to put up the posters, we feel very cold and dark already, as if all are starting to be afraid of the scenes!" He finally finished up with these posters, from Zhuang We Qi's designs. He started last February making the poster and photobook designs. For just the 4 "Bae Se Ju Ta" characters alone, he had already done as many as 30 samples, and hadnt thought that Cai Yue Xun would choose the most ordinary one. After the many times he redesigned it, one day, Zhuang We Qi was clueless when he faced Feng Yi Min and said, " It doesnt matter if you take away or use my works, but what am I supposed to do?" The Hospital will have its first preview on August 13 at the International Conference Center. In order for Jerry to be lauded in his scenes, if does he really deserves to be in the drama, and going though with mood swings that lead LZL's feelings for him to change? Regardless of working with the drama group or his manager, he shouldnt be at fault on things unknown. However, several days earlier, the actors even met in a large room to shoot the promo photos. Bao Long's skin is well, and also in his usual cold jokes. His friend and manager Jiang Yi Peng laughed and said, " He never talks about his feelings, but Im pretty sure that crazily calling up to seek for somebody is not his style. " Now, Jerry will fly to Indonesia to perform. He would also donate and have a charity sale his personal stuffs to help the tsunami victims. Rough translations only by Jerry's Kingdom.

Thank you for the credits. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry does charity work, asks all fans to support Source:TW Apple Daily July 21, 2006 For the Charity Preview showing of "The Hospital" Jerry wants to give the auction an all people's support. Jerry is usually low-profiled, but for charity he is first to shine. He decided he must auction off of his doctor's gown, stethoscope, etc. Last week, when he entered the booth to film his promo poster, Leon Dai had a grim face, his hands behind his back. Unexpectedly, Jerry came from behind and started to scratch off Leon's hands that disturbed him, and letting them kept on laughing afterwards. Finally, Leon Dai said, " He even goes at the back to secretly make naughty things, la!" Last week, major cast Jerry Yan, Leon Dai and Janine Zhang and others, went to photoshoot the promo poster for initial broadcast of "The Hospital" on the 15th of next month. The poster will also present 5 special poses and offer it for fans to collect. In order to present a more special doctor image, three men climbed up the beams to take overhead shots but went off with only one shot. Jerry was immediately in good mood, and refused to play jokes. When he was just reading the newly-released photobook, he also felt laughing and said " wa!" . Who was so much sunny, and so much handsome? The director really had the eye for it! The Hospital Preview smashed millions On his behalf and to protect Jerry's sail on his first 8 pm slot big drama, Director Cai Yue Xun smashed as much as less than a million dollars, to hold an Asian-wide Preview Meet on the 13th of next month at the International Conference Center, which can accomodate an estimated 1200 people, to absolutely give him the deserving and honorable title of "Bao Xiao Long (Violent Young Dragon)" and also for Jerry's usual call on his fans to do charity work. The first preview will another kind of selling entrance tickets for fans. At a scheduled time, as long as one has the proof of purchase reciept, one can already enter the venue. Besides foreign fans who want to see and appreciate the Preview screening, Jerry will also have his own charity auction at a scheduled time. Choosing those he used during the filming like the doctor's jacket, stethoscope, and neclace will be all auctioned one by one. The proceeds of the auction sale will be given to World Vision Taiwan. On the same day, the soon-to-be-in-stores "The Hospital" photobook will be given as gifts to fans, where behind-the-scenes and on-stage scenes will be swifly exposed.

For The Hospital Preview Screening, Jerry fans now buy pre-selling tickets This Source: udn.com/NEWS/ENTERTAINMENT/ENT7/3442757.shtmlJuly 27, 2006 Scanned Lian He Bao news clipping (page D3) www.yanchengxu.net/bbs/UploadFile/20067278124191099.jpg(scan credits to mamy of Jerry's Harbor)  Jerry's charm is so remarkable, that fans are now rushing to buy their pre-booked tickets for "The Hospital" Preview Screening Jerry Yan's charm is hard to resist, and with a $2,000 entrance ticket to the Charity Preview event, pre-booking unexpectedly sold out the 1164 seats in just two days. Also, a "Jerry fan" rushed in to buy 200 tickets, showing a solid financial strength that allowed other F4 fans hard to follow up. A friend of Jerry also pointed out that although he and LZL's relationship turned sour, he still carries his dog cage at his car, only coffee is no longer there. "The Hospital" Charity Preview will be held on August 13. All entrance tickets requires to donate to the World Vision organization. Added to the special admission tickets are the "The Hospital" photobook and Tshirt, with a minimum value of NT$2,000 but on the opening of the ticket pre-selling, the 1164 alloted seats was immediately sold out in just two days. World Vision had already recieved NT$2,328,000, and with fans continously clamoring for more tickets. Yang Ming Productions said that after the ticket pre-selling opened last July 20, phone inquires were continous, and in two days it has sold out its 1164 slots. and fans continued to call up protesting " Haven't bought a ticket yet!". At present, they are thinking on adding half of the allocated seats later. Originally scheduled that on the same day of the Preview event, they will open the selling of the additional tickets, but this time they may probably open the ticket selling at an earlier date on August 5. Jerry fans' consumption capacity is astonishing. For Japanese fans alone, there are already 250 people who will travel to Taiwan. Also touring Taiwan and to see the the Preview event are Korea, Hong Kong and Souteast Asian fans who will all troop to see their idol. A few days ago, Jerry just came from a concert in Indonesia. A friend discovered that a small dog cage was still in the back compartment of his car. The size is almost the same as the red puddle "Coffee" which he gave to LZL. It seemed that even if the feelings of the two had already died down, Jerry still cant just forget the person, that he even dont want to loose the dog cage. JK NOTE: So overwhelming support by Jerry fans. Carry on!! Translated by Jerry's Kingdom. Thank you for the credits. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extra Note : To people who are taking the below translation, DO make sure you ONLY CREDIT Xiujuan @ onlyf4.proboards48.com for the translation. No extra credits should be given and no changes must be made to the translation. Thanks for your cooperation. The Hospital Premier, Jerry Fans Buys Up all Tickets Jerry Yan's charm cannot be stopped. A charity premier of The Hospital is selling one ticket at 2000(TW) dollars and 1164 tickets were sold in 2 days. Some fans even bought 200 tickets at one go, showing the wealth of Jerry fans, making it hard for other F4 fans to follow back to back. A friend of Jerry pointed out that, even though his relationship with Lin Zhi Ling have faded, the back of his car still has a dog cage, just that coffee's appearence isn't seen anymore. The Hospital would be holding its charity premier on the 13th of August 2006. A ticket that cost 2000 dollars included the pictorial book and T-shirt. However, it sold 1164 tickets just 2 days after it was opened for sale. The charity organisation have already recieved 232 8000 dollars, with fans asking for more. Person in charge said, after it opened for sales on the 20th, many calls came in asking about it. After 2 days when half the seats , 1164 tickets were sold, there were fans calling in to complain they couldn't get tickets. Currently, they are considering to add seats. Some seats that were supposed to be only sold on that day itself might be opened for sale earlier on the 5th of August. The spending issue of Jerry fans are shocking. Just Japanese fans, they have already formed a 250 person tour group to attend this premier in Taiwan and also for a holiday. Korean, HK and Asia Pacific's fans have also arranged to come and see their idol in Taiwan. Recently, Jerry who just returned from a Indonesia concert was spotted with a mini dog cage at the back of his car. The length and width of the cage was similar to the poodle, Coffee that he gave to Lin Zhi Ling. Looks like even though their relationship have faded, Jerry still thinks about her and even keeps the dog cage. Thanks to Lian He Bao. 27th July 2006 |

The Hospital related articles: A Taste at the Top of the Tower Source: www.gio-media.com.tw/newsletter/focus/focus0032.jsp(thanks to Blue Angel of www,yanchengxu.net for sharin Every doctor, from the time they all recite their medical oaths " As I enter the medical profesion, I solemnly swear that I will dedicate everthing to serve humanity, engage in medicine by reason of conscience and with dignity. and the patient's health becomes my most important consideration. " However, inside "Bae Se Ju Ta", power stuggles quietly take turns in the life of the drama cast... In 1999, famous author Hou Wen Yong unloaded the huge Taiwanese doctor's halo which is envied by everybody. With almost a year to finish, "Bae Se Ju Ta" has became a top 2005 best-seller that it was then adapted into a TV serial, pursued from all sides under a string of meticulous performances of the cast from Director Cai Yue Xun.  Now returning fresh from his directoral beau to Taiwan's No. 1 best selling idol drama "Meteor Garden", is Cai Yue Xun planning on how to bring up the local Taiwanese drama to a higher level Asian drama? This act reprimanded NT$ 80 million to support, lasting to 9 months of filming, including a 30-man team of cameramen, lightsmen, art and costume designers, propsmen, moviemaking technicians, screenplay writer, and other production staff, and gathering a cast line up of famous young and veteran stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan. What kind of an idol drama craze will it create? Director Cai and the cast and crew awaited nine months, of not being shown yet , and except for Korea, its overseas copyright sales has already swept away all Asian territories. Upon seeing the earlier raw scenes, Japanese NHK Network has already discussed the TV rights with Director Cai, hoping " Bae Se Ju Ta" to become the first Taiwanese TV drama to be shown at the NHK channel, as well as curve a niche and make an impact on the Asian drama circles. Also, its powerful drama charm is like a stored old volcanic lava , just urgently waiting to erupt... Very fine commercial drama Speaking on putting weight to the drama's commercial value and recieving the veiwers' ratings, has always been Director Cai Yue Xun's target. He stressed that he himself would not film a high-end type of artistic drama not appreciated by the masses. With regards to "Bae Se Ju Ta," the director said, " I wish it would be very easy to watch and its commercial value must also be very high." Breaking though from his former restricted directorial style, Director Cai has high expectations for "Bae Se Ju Ta." Inside the drama scenes, viewers will no longer see any shadow of Director Cai's previous directorial style, as it dissolved and changed into an intense directorial style. It is a first degree trial to taste a kind of several solidly written narrative styles, following the very fine cut to differenciate while letting the viewers experience a withdrawn picture of life inside the hospital. Since Director Cai took charge of filming Bae Se Ju Ta, "Camera shots became complex yet simple!" Looking at his conflicting statements is similar to the way he talked on his drectorial breakthrough. "It's complicated." Indicating that the whole thing changed into a fine grease and "simple" , he pointed out what the viewers like. Because the whole Bae Se Ju Ta showed the very deep human thoughts, Director Cai attempted to reflect simple movements in raising the degree of the viewer's understanding of the story. He didnt require too much serious camera shots, to let veiwers have excessive spaces to guess. Far different than Michael Crichton in "E.R." and the Japanese version of Bae Se Ju Ta, Cai Yue Xun said that when he directed Bai Se Ju Ta he didnt apply accurate medical details at all. Neither did he used a fixed "medical drama" atmosphere. It mainly lies on the human weak points and power struggle foreplay. Because of budget and tecnical limitations, Director Cai frankly said, " As far as the overseas TV rights success, we even studied how to walk in tip toes, and also watched at what they couldnt reach behind their backs." Seeks perfection, close to severe searching Director Cai had always grinded people with a rigid filming style. In Bai Se Ju Ta, while it may be said that it was not polite, the very first basic requirement is that the cast must follow the real medical steps. Before the shooting started, every cast recieved large amounts of medical services trainings, to reach a true-to-life medical treatment, and prevent being the laughing stock by knowledgable people . Bai Se Ju Ta cast was all required to evenly practice the medical services by heart, comprising surgical operations, surgical postures, hand-scrubbing, first aid and so on. Even Hou Wen Yong and other doctors gave a complete and long special trainings. In addition, in order to make all the scenes more fast-faced and very fine, Director Cai Yue Xun especially imported from Japan the tailor-made doctors clothes, caps, surgical gowns and gloves, surgical equipments and so on, to attempt in filming Taiwan's most beautiful group of doctors. On the preparation of props and filming locations, Director Cai strictly required the need for an almost near-perfect degree. He actually seek his target that usually let his filming crew thoroughly injured their brains. "I felt really very bitter when I film a drama, which ordinary local TV stations is hard to accept" For Bai Se Ju Ta, Director Cai Yue Xun directed the drama crew to adopt by the "all-Asian drama" standards in preparing props and locations.  Is Director Cai actually a lot more strict? When the drama crew was prepararing the few props for the presidential suite room in the hospital, Director Cai strictly required that the intercom "must" have real electrical switch, which the former drama group was not able to borrow. He then invited an art productions group to make one. The same day, all cast arrived at the same time. But because the director was working with the props, all had to wait at the location site for the shooting to pack -up. Director Cai said, " When the a group of crew were irresponsible, I dont have enough patience to endure. " Director Cai thought that in Taiwan, all the drama crew need to undergo re-trainings. Cai Yue Xun really feels extremely demanding. During the shooting, he met many problems in finding location sites. With the hospital location alone, Cai Yue Xun's wife Yu Xiao Hui ran to seek and paid visit all-over Taiwan to a lot of family-owned hospitals, commercial spaces, and even do-it-yourself pre-fabricated location vanues. In the process, Director Cai is thankful to Gao Xiong City where they have 3 lakes, Xin Dian and Gen Xin hospitals for help and support, especialy Zhang's Provincial Hospital which provided their surgical room free of charge and its surgical communication facilities used in the drama scenes. Also inside the institution, to the doctors and nurses who had not always charged fees for the medical trainings of the cast. Director Cai said, " We had tried many largely up-scaled hospitals and they had not agreed to lend us at all. Luckily, there are these people to help us, otherwise, Bae Se Ju Ta will just be impossible to finish. JK NOTE: to be continued..... more of the very long article to come..... Roughly translated by Jerry's Kingdom. Please bear with some errors, if any. Thank you for the credits. |

Filming The Hospital for 254 long daysTranslated to Chinese by XiuKuo of TW Love Family Summarized in English by Jerry's Kingdom Japanese Tai Liu Magazine (July 2006 issue) i7.tinypic.com/21b5a92.jpgi7.tinypic.com/21b5ac2.jpgScan credits to shining smile of bbs.ctv.com From the original schedule, it has been delayed for half a year, and now this drama is about to be shown on July in Taiwan. This is Taiwan's No.I director and reaching his target has always been complicated, because when he pursues filming a drama, he would defenitely not compromise. From getting the filming rights up to selecting the cast 3 years ago, his wife was also his filming partner + Mrs. Cai Yu Xiao Hui recommended to Director Cai Yue Xun to start an active fight to this TV filming rights. They waited to talk to author Hou Wen Yong regarding negotiations. When they got hold of the TV filming rights, many problems hindered its production and changed the way on TV dramas. Although he got the filming rights, he was again faced with a new problem -- choosing the cast. They wanted Jerry Yan but as F4 are Asian supermen, asking him to to shoot for a long time for a TV serial is almost impossible. He wanted Leon Dai to portray the antagonist role but Leon proposed that he only wanted the lead role of Su Yi Hua. But after discussions, Director Cai and Yu Xiao Hui had decided that "no matter how long, they would wait for Jerry and also not to give up on him." From the press conference, start of the shooting up to finishing the TV filming On May 31, 2005, inside Jing Hua Restaurant in Taipei, was an international gathering of Asian media from different countries. Joining "The Hospital" Start of Shooting Press Con, are the cast that were chosen more than a year ago. It included the busy Jerry Yan , who had just made his final decision to join, Leon Dai and many more, whose negotiations for each star was carried on , ready for the official announcement of the start of shooting " Choosing the cast TV filming is really hard. The people selected must decide first and the talent fee takes longer talks. " Reporters who talked to Director Cai revealed that these are among the most difficult negotiations. Jerry said, "As far as I'm concerned, it's been 3 years since I last acted in a TV serial. Although continous shooting can be really hard, I would strive harder. If not for Meteor Garden and worked with Director Cai, I wouldnt be what I am today. " On June 17, at Taipei's Nang Gang Science Garden is a small family hospital where "The Hospital" began shooting. Leon Dai and Janine Zhang and so on were now shooting a scene inside the make-shift hospital. Because the filming is not according to the right sequencing of the soon-to-be aired series, the stars had to display their own imagination to synthesize and act in each kind of scene. From smooth filming up to delayed shooting later This day, it was the bald SAYA who played a cancer patient who is now filming a scene. Even if the audio was bad, the restless Director Cai still coached the actress on her scenes. On November 28, at the oil refinery at the outskirts of Gao Xion City, which for a long time they had secretly filmed, the drama group accepted to be interviewed. According to the producer's memo, the series must be finished within the year, and whitin 1-2 months, it should be ready for showing. At this time, roughly 2/3 was already finished and could be shown by the start of next year. However, wacthing the 10 minute TV preview at the press conference . everyone thought that completing this project would take time. This Director Cai and the stars will definetly not compromise and just concentrate on the project. As filming ends, it's a new beginning right away On Feb 25, 2006, the filming was officially completed. In Nan Rd. don't Hua and Nang Gang Ou Science Garden, the hospital of "Bai Se Ju Ta" had their final filming. Jerry, Leon Dai, Janine Zhang, Xui Jie Kai, An An and so on gathered together since they began shooting 245 days ago, almost 9 months. It seems that filming a movie is unsurpassingly like shooting a TV serial in Taiwan. Under the director's command, we saw how the stars was filled with accomplished pride and satisfied expressions. For Director Cai, he just completed a TV production, doing the technical part of it and coming to a new task immediately --- the editing. When interview, Director Cai finally said, "Yes, it is about to be completed." This masterpiece will forever leave a name in the Taiwanese TV serials. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry Yan and Tang Zhi Peng is dry every night, la!This Source: udn.com/NEWS/ENTERTAINMENT/ENT2/3447455.shtmlJuly 30, 2006 Scanned Lian He Bao news clipping (page D5) i7.tinypic.com/21disdg.jpgScan credits to mamy of Jerry's Harbor When Jerry and TZP filmed "The Hospital", they became good drinking buddies.

Yesterday, Tang Zhi Peng revealed that because he and Jerry worked together in "The Hospital", they became good friends and for nearly 7-8 months, both dined out together for some midnight snacks or drink one or two glasses, after shooting. He even joked, "We often went out, how come you havent got any stolen pictures?" Both are 180 cm tall and plays a doctor in the drama. They had many confronting scenes together and as Director Cai begins to coach, they often discussed their roles to each other to slowly bring up the revolting characters. TZP said, " Our roles are made to be together, and after shooting, he would tag along with me as we leave the set. So we can chat more on the characters, we sit down on some sea food shops, drink beer and chat the rest of the day. But why do these two idols prefer to eat in sea food shops than in nightclubs or high-class restaurants? TZP said, " Jerry likes sea food shops a lot, the atmosphere is more relaxing, and we were with some of the staff, such that they are quite amusing. " Do they talk about LZL? TZP frankly said, " He was very focused in the filming of the drama. Everyday, all we asked about are inside drama matters. He also often consulted Dai Bao Ge (Leon Dai), but Dai Bao Ge was very polite and talked many more, and when we are already in high mood, we then drink. After that we fight on some strategies on how to handle the roles. On the next shooting day, we can then add it to our acting. I had never heard him mentioned the 3-letter LZL. Certainly I cannot be 205 who loves to talk on somebody's weakest points." TZP was once mistaken by the Malaysians as F4, and even rumored to be brother to Ken Zhu, with the same father but different mothers. He just laughed and said, "That was just a real misunderstanding. My father said that it ws just a neighbor's guess because he believed I'm one of F4. Rumors then passed around that a Taiwanese Travel group then went to my father's restaurant to look for F4, and also a man called Ken Zhu came running, who was probably also from Southeast Asia. " Translated by Jerry's Kingdom. Some words are summarized so please bear with the short translated phrases. Thank you for the credits.

Special Report
Hou Wen Yong Talks about The Hospital   Saya (A-mei's sister) actually shaved her head for the series    Source: Huang Guan August 1, 2006 6:30 am JK Note: Due to the long article, excerpts are the only ones posted In 2006, the novel was adapted into a TV serial "The Hospital." Soon to be shown, thousands are now aiming to watch it. If the novel had created a stir to the literary and medical world before, no less than than the TV adaptation was recorded to be the biggest budgeted serial in Taiwanese TV history, with the gathering of three generations of multii-awarded old and young stars, "The Hospital" spent almost two years in the making. Now from the author Hou Wen Yong's point of view, what kind of story is hidden behind it?..... The Hospital created a new record high .... Aside from having the "Longest Filming Period," spent "80 MILLION Production costs" , and other new high records, the selection of the cast also pierced the brains of Hou Wen Yong and Cai Yue Xun. Becuase the main lead Su Yi Hua is about 40 years old, looking for the suitable man among the stars resulted to less choices because these 40-year olds stars are continously decreasing in the Taiwanese movie industry, and still with a giant star status was critically not enough, "so they had to choose between the 20 year olds and above as a new replacement" Yong said.... .....When Cai Yue Xun recommended Asian Idol Heavenly King Jerry Yan, Hou Wen Yong had some doubts. Worried he is too young, can he perfectly portray for the role of Su Yi Hua? " Not until the first time I saw Jerry Yan's picture in the internet, I found out that his bright smiles can give any person with a kind of trust feeling. Not many people have this special nature. Only then that I had set my mind to look for Jerry to play the role." Hou Wen Yong enthusiastically praised Jerry, " For nine months, he had only filmed one TV serial, becuase for Jerry, its a <po tian huang> (JK: Dont know what this is!!) thing. He gave so much effort in these drama scenes, and also faced too many business, market sales and public opinion pressures. After the shooting ended, everyone began to praise him, and also proved that Jerry's decision to accept the role is correct. ".... Outstanding team adds up to its good drama value ..."For example, when Wu Meng Da came to shoot, he didnt bring his script. I was pretty scared that I jumped off, why is this actor doesnt brings his script? Actually, when he come home, he immediately grabbed his script to study it, and not only did he learned it by heart but he didnt even miss a single dialogue! You then think how many times did he memorize the lines? Hou Wen Young said, "these outstanding hard-core actors all have very high work ethics. Everytime I visit the set, I see that no one is complaining even if everyone is already tired. Everybody is ready to risk for his work, that atmosphere which has the right influence to young stars entering that kind of environment, and for which they can improve their talents quickly. ..."There was once when they location-filmed an emergency scene, and the Director wanted to use a revolving camera shot, so the cameraman had to run in circles in order to film it. That kind of movie camera is very heavy, almost 25 kilos each. Because he was moving and cant use a tripod, he wore steel shoes so his camera shots will not falter as he runs. In the emergency scene, which is a lead feature of the serial, every face od the character is featured. The cameraman might had ran at least two to three hundred circles in just one scene..." Director Cai Yue Xun strives for perfection "The Hospital" director Cai Yue Xun is still the no-rest "workaholic" . Any small detail doesnt escape from his eyes. When Hou Wen Yong talked about Cai Yue Xun's eyes, "Cai Yue Xun's only mission is to "make it a good thing " At theGuan Xin's bus station sign, he must proceed to Gao Xiong Oil refinery bus station to shoot because Taipei has no bus station sign like that. If he must, "the entire Taiwan should only be in one area" then if he couldnt find the places, he wont shoot...." In "The Hospital", a lot of the scenes must be shot inside a hospital. However, because Taiwanese hospitals had many considerations, it was very difficult to get one, and had to strive so hard to look for one. When he finally succeeded in borrowing a suitable hospital, Cai Yue Xun was not satisfied "because he felt that the floor color was not right!" Hou Wen Yong then laughed, " Later I realized that Cai Yue Xun wanted to film " an all-Taiwanese imaginary hospital that doesnt even exist". Finally, the drama was filled with pretty transparent glass window backdrop in the hospital halls, which was filmed at the Nang Gang Industrial Park international conference exhibit show, which matched their location shooting. Not only did they rented it with a pleasant price of six figures for each day but they also got to shoot on days when the weather is not good. Cai Yue Xun would wait for the right clear weather, choosing another day they could re-shoot, not compromising on any defective camera shot.... Hou Wen Yong's expectations for "The Hospital" ....The hospital is still not shown, but at present it is already sold overseas copyrights to many Asian countries except Korea. At the same time, it went up to be the highest-priced Taiwanese drama sold in Japan. For this achievement, Hou Wen Yong said," This is because The Hospital's structure is not only restricted " to show for Taiwanese audience" but is made to be released for the whole Asian market. That is is why the quality that had always captured the Japanese audience, naturally want to to take it at this price, and buys a good drama that is worth watching. Pictures were provided by Yang Ming Productions / interview by Ye Qing Feng Roughly translated by Jerry's Kingdom. Thank you for the credits.

When Jerry was cheated, he found out that Fei Xiang stole his girlfriend, and also because he acted to get so excited, he fell and injured his leg. Could it be that outside, they are jealous of each other? Planning Manager Yu Xiao Hui hurriedly clarified this coincidence at the set, "You can be assured that their separation is intentional. But that is because their promo and production terms are divided into several waves, and they have no ties, la!" The Hospital will have its initial broadcast on the 15th of this month. Director Cai Yue Xun used up two million dollars for the Preview Meet and also openly invited 1,200 fans to the venue, among are 9 "Jerry fans" from Cheng Du. with complete loyalty to Jerry Yan. However, Fei Xiang is also a giant star, and used" I have no time" as his reason for not attending the Preview on the 12th. Yesterday, however, he announced again that he would return at the end of the month for a 3-day promo. At that time, he would outshine the others and Jerry would not be there. Formerly mortal enemies This coincidence have a little of "a mountain not allowing two tigers" flavor, that it lets the people to be suspicious. The old handsome guy Fei Xiang doesnt want to help the young handsome guy Jerry Yan to lift the chair. Clever it is, both of them were former mortal enemies in Hou Wen Yong's "The Hospital," and also havent been friends, as if life is doomed. In the drama, Jerry plays "Dr. Su Yi Hua" , inexpressively thrown off by his girlfriend played by Janine Zhang. He found out only ten years after that Fei Xiang, as the university professor Zhuang Ming Zhe, unruly stabbbed him and stole his love. Yet, as Fei Xiang remembers, Jerry also didnt directly confronted him. Will outshine others at the end of the month Unexpectedly, Director Cai Yue Xun didnt agree to put both very handsome guys in the same stage and drama events, and plans to show the drama scene " when Jerry returned to the door looking for Janine Zhang, for 3 days he missed to join her, and found that Fei Xiang was inside the house, that he was indistinctly devastated as he left" to add weight to the drama. This scene took one whole evening to shoot. That day, Jerry was very serious as he entered the set, and finally also because he was too much excited that he took a wrong step and fell down the stairs. It created a foot injury that took a number of days to heal. Regarding what somebody said as "King won't see the King", Yu Xiao Hui denied it, " On the day of the Preview event, Fei Xiang already had prior things at hand. We asked him over and over again, so he just asked to move it for three days at the end of the month. She also added, "Fei Xiang would have a lineup of guests at that time, and Jerry would also be leading that line, how can it be that the "King wont see the King?", la!

A good review by a Japanese magazine... The Hospital Taiwanese Version's 10 Best PointsSource: Japanese Tai Riu Magazine Release Date: July, 2006 Published by: Kadokawa Shoten Bookstore and Publishing Co., Ltd translated in Chinese by Yan Xiao Yu translated in English by Jerry's Kingdom Magazine Scans: i7.tinypic.com/21b5403.jpg ( first page) i7.tinypic.com/21b55ag.jpg (second page) (scan credits to shining smile of www.bbs.ctv.comresized scans:   The Hospital can be declared as the close gathering of the young and old generation cast of actors and actresses together in one production. Its a breakthough in the Taiwanese TV industry where this group can appear in one show. Among the entangled complexity between the characters, it actually unfolds the love-hate relationships and rivalry, in complete brilliance and exellence. The following will introduce in extreme essence, the 10 most outstanding features to watch in the drama. Point 1
Because of the purity and agony of the male leadIts because of Jerry Yan who actually plays the role of a young surgeon Su Yi Hua who absolutely dont allow under-the-table medical treatment and has strong righteous principles. Mainly because he behaves this way, he is repeatedly faced with many difficult positions. It would be unlikely that he will sink into the predicaments of people because he is kind-hearted, and always thinks first of others, with a bit of not considering to run his head forward. Yet, unknowingly, he then realized that the rising trends and his own beliefs are in contrast to each other's paths. Point 2
Taiwan's Crying Queen (?) intense portrayal Another worth to watch is Janine Zhang's role as an anaesthesiologist. She is the male lead's former lover. In the drama she plays a regular doctor who got involved in a malpractice case, and also acted in a scene being in love with a school head. Because she also suffered heart aches, and went through a woman's life surges, Janine has so many crying scenes in the drama. She can now be considered as Taiwan's Crying Queen like Korea's Choi Jin Woo whose crying can also cause the viewer some deep impressions. In the drama, Janine can also give fans the shock with her intense bed scenes. From a youngster's point of view, Janine really puts her whole feelings in her role, showing unexpected brilliance, that causes the viewers to pay close attention. Point 3
The Love of Su Yi Hua and Guan XinSu Yi Hua and Guan Xin met when they were at medical school. Although they admire each other, they are far like an attracting magnet and can completely cut themselves off. Going though the different life's challenges. The 2, however, didnt get to be really together, which is quite worthy for the viewers to watch. Point 4
Leon Dai's own roleFor multi-awarded actor and equally talented director and stage play screenwriter Dai Li Ren, performing is his domain. This time in The Hospital serial, he made use of his own intuitions in the treatment of his role, which is a combination of Director Cai's identity and understanding. How this kind of role treatment affects the story is what the viewers can look forward to. Point 5
Real-life characterizationTaiwan TV serials has collected a line of idols in the recent years. For this drama, it has surpassed up to 30 every kind of painstaking roles and background plots. A huge part is the different interlude of the characters' entangled relationships that becomes a story itself, and forms these drama-like scenes. The many experienced veterans also increases the level of performance of the young generation. This drama possesses high quality, enough to be a important reason. Point 6
The brave hero of the Taiwanese TV industry
Filming a reality TV drama to reflect the real societyBecause of "Meteor Garden" and "God Mars", etc., people had actually known Director Cai Yue Xun's films. Mainly because he is Taiwan's idol drama pioneer, he was thrown to film this social literature TV drama. In this drama, he was the fully uncompromising director, highly persistent on details. Point 7
Actor Wu Meng Da unfolds a real-life acting skillBeing in "Shao Lin football" is when people knew about actor Wu Meng Da. He got HK movie film awards as "Best Supporting Actor" and many more, and from these awards, it defines his real acting talent. Believing he can well come up with laughter, anger, sorrow and happiness present from a veteran talent, which can certainly move someone into tears. Point 8
Soul Actress SayaSaya's role is a luekemia patient, and had to shave her head in the filming. At that time, when she saw how she looked in a bald head, she was reportedly cried a lot. But now, she actually kind of used to like this image. Point 9
The director's follower, Xui Jie KaiXui Jie Kai once acted in "Ming Yang Si Hai", "God Mars", etc., many from Director Cai's films. This is the first time he portrayed a kind-hearted small town doctor who had a small clinic. But because he must act the character older than his actual age, he wore eyeglasses and kept a beard for this role. He always carried his medical suitcase on his shoulders as he walks the road, and then be the Taiwanese version of Dr. Coter. Point 10
Outshining the Japanese VersionThis profound group appearing in the TV serial, in hospital power struggle, medical malpractice, etc., has duplicate areas as in the Japanese version but these are only the small parts, because the drama's focal point lies in depicting the poeple's love-hate relationships, rivalry and so on. |
