Taiwanese Drama "White Tower" to Start Flming in May

Jerry Yan, a member of Taiwan's super idol group F4 is set to start filming for his role in the new Taiwanese drama "White Tower" from the beginning of May.

It is a re-make of a 2003 Japanese hit drama. But now even though it is the end of April, it seems that the leading lady has yet to be cast. Fans are wondering if the filming will be able to go ahead as scheduled without a heroine. As of April 28th no leading lady had been announced, according to a Chinese news source.

By the way, how much does a top star like Jery earn for each drama? According to reports he now makes $480,000 Taiwanese dollars for each episode of a drama. The other three F4 members make about $400,000 Taiwanese dollars per episode, securing them as the highest paid Taiwanese idols. They are truely the "Strongest & Coolest Chinese Boy Group"!

By the way (hopefully you can work out the money to your own currency through these examples):
$480,000 Taiwanese dollars
= $15,350 US dollars
= 1,610,000 Japanese yen
= 58,170 Malaysia Ringgits
= 834,775 Philippines Pesos

$400,000 Taiwanese dollars
= $12,800 US dollars
= 1,340,000 Japanese yen
= 48,475 Malaysia Ringgits
= 695,650 Philippines Pesos

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.

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...
