Liberty (TW), May 7, 2005


According to Liberty in TW, Jerry will get the highest pay in TW of the TW produced dramas for accepting the role in White Tower, which is NT$250,000 per episode. He will break the record held by SHE, which was NT$150,000 per episode (1 person). On the other hand, another main actor, DA Li Ren, will have NT$100,000 per episode.

According to Liberty, Jerry got only about NT$10,000 per episode for filming MG1, and about NT$50,000 per episode for filming MG2. This is the first time he has accepted offer not from Angie Cai's production company and the pay is going to be N times of what he got before, which will be the highest pay so far among actors played in TW produced dramas.

According to Liberty, Jerry got a lot of offers from China, and his market price is at least US$10,000 (about NT$330,000) per episode. Even Director Chai initially assumed that at least NT$400,000 would be needed for Jerry's pay for each episode. This time Jerry accepted
the "friendship" pay because firstly he likes the script very much and secondly he worked with Director Chai in MG1 before, so the amount of pay is not the main concern.

White Tower will be scheduled to film for about six months and Jerry's agent, Xiao Zhih, indicates that the filming time is long and for sure it is going to impact Jerry's work schedule, as he needs to fulfill some endorcement contracts and he also gets offers for other dramas and movies. However, as long as the quality of White Tower is good, it is worth the loss.

Director Chai will arrange Saya to play a cancer patient in White Tower. When Saya heard about working with Director Chai and Jerry, she said, "No pay is ok, just giving me some lucky money is enough.

The reporter also listed out the pay of numerous actors in the market.

Yan Cheng Xu - NT$250,000 per episode
SHE - NT$150,000 per episode (1 person)
Zai Zai - NT$100,000 to NT$150,000 per episode
The other two are TWese drama actors:
about NT$100,000 per episode

{The Hospital}, Jerry Yan Comprehends The Importance of Appreciation Q1 : We heard that you spent a lot of time and effort preparing for the role. Mr. Hou Wen Yong also mentioned that you did a great deal of research. How did you understand and portray the character of Su Yi Hua? A1: I recall that when I met the script-writer initially to discuss the character, Su Yi Hua, he brought out two photos. One was a little boy with a cheerful grin and the other was a white tower. He said that these represent Su Yi Hua and the White Tower so he is but an innocent little child. All of a sudden, I had a very intense feel for the character when I heard that. It was like I became Su Yi Hua during filming. I could feel how he had a simple life before he was unexpectedly pulled into the power struggle and lost the love of his life as well. In my portrayal, I have tried to transform myself into a real Su Yi Hua so that my performance can be true to life. Q2 : Regarding your research for the performanc...
