> Pally with the press
> At ease now with his star status, F4 member Jerry Yen, here to
> promote his film Magic Kitchen, worked the crowd like a pro
> JERRY YEN has grown up.
> The 27-year-old - easily the most adored member of the popular
> Taiwanese pop group F4 - used to be extremely touchy about bad
press. Two years ago, a then-overworked Yen infamously broke down
before Taiwanese reporters. Faced with accusations of prima-donna
behaviour, he pleaded his innocence by blurting: 'Let me be knocked
down by a car!'
> Flying into Singapore on Wednesday to publicise his first film,
Magic Kitchen, however, he was older, wiser and much more media-
savvy. Displaying a disarming smiles and effortless cheeriness, he
had 2,000 fans and 60 journalists eating out of his hand at a 40-
minute outdoor press meet at Open Plaza at Junction 8 on Wednesday
evening. Ever the affable superstar, he told the shrieking fans more
than once: 'Seeing so many people here, I think I have become
happier.'
> He has become a pro in working the crowd. He knew just when to
serve up a bashful smile, a lop-sided smirk or a really playful look.
> When a reporter asked him what he would cook for his future
> girlfriend, he joked: 'You testing me? I haven't thought of it yet.'
> Garbed casually in a black turtleneck top and faded blue jeans, he
> stole the show, despite the presence of his two pretty co-stars,
> Vietnamese-American actress Maggie Q and Hong Kong actress Nicola
> Cheung. In the movie, too, he parlays his charm and looks to good
> use as a young assistant to a chef played by Sammi Cheng, the queen
> of Hong Kong romantic comedies. He also fights for her affection
with her ex-boyfriend played by Heavenly King Andy Lau.
> Banking on the popularity of Yen, Cheng and Lau, the film looks
> destined to clean up at the box office in China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan this Chinese New Year. It opens here next Thursday.
> Speaking in Taiwanese-accented Mandarin at the press meet, Yen said
> the toughest thing in his three years in showbiz was learning 'how
to conduct myself in society'. He added that he learnt a lot from
pros like Lau. Calling Lau by his Cantonese nickname, he said: 'Wah
Chai knows how to create a happy atmosphere on the set.' He said he
would like to work with Cheng again, because 'she's like a little
girl' and is 'a very nice person'. Maybe they can make a movie
where 'I am knocked down by a car', he quipped, repeating his
trademark statement. Cries of dismay rose from the sea of people. He
laughed.
> CHASED BY A CONVERTIBLE
> ARRIVING in Singapore on Wednesday afternoon, he had been chased
from Changi Airport to the Conrad Centennial Singapore by fans in a
fleet of 15 maxicabs, as well as other cabs and a Mercedes
convertible. When an assistant alerted him to the convertible
tailing him, he was said to have replied simply, pi la (rubbish).
Then, he saw it. Impressed, he waved back at the girls in the car.
Later, after asking about the costs of car ownership in Singapore, he
was said to have exclaimed: 'Heavens. I feel so poor.' He had to be
kidding.
> Born Liao Yang-cheng in Taoyuan, a county south of Taipei, he was
> indeed poor then. He and his elder sister were brought up by his
> widowed mother. Growing up, he had to take on odd jobs to
supplement the family income. Graduating from high school, he served
in the military before moving on to modelling. As recently as 2000,
he had to sleep in a room with a hole in the ceiling created by an
> earthquake in 1999.
> But everything changed overnight in 2001, when producer Angie Chai
> cast him and three other unknowns - Ken Chu, Vanness Wu and Vic
Chou - in Meteor Garden, an idol drama adapted from a cult Japanese
comic book series. The four came to be known as the acting and
singing quartet F4. Their first album, Meteor Rain, was released in
the same year and sold four million copies across Asia.
> Yen, in the leading role of Daoming Si, a romantic alpha male who
> courts a spunky schoolgirl played by Barbie Hsu, became dream
> boyfriend to millions of female fans.
> Last year, he was one of the top-earning Taiwanese stars alongside
> Jay Chou and Elva Hsiao. He was also the best paid among the F4
> members, bringing home NT$40 million (about S$2 million).
> Two months back, thanks to F4's popularity in the Philippines and
the rest of South-east Asia, he even had the chance to meet
Philippine President Gloria Arroyo. Still in disbelief, he
recalled: 'It was so strange to go to a country and meet its
president. But it gave us the motivation to do better and work
harder.'
> In fact, one could say that he is his own harshest critic. Only
too conscious that critics think he is all looks and no talent, he
once said: 'My singing is slightly better than an animal's.' Asked
to rate his acting in his film debut, he gave himself 100 marks.
> Then he added: 'But for me, the total is 1,000 marks.'
> As for rumours that F4 were going their separate ways for good, he
> said they had plans to make a movie together. But he declined to
> divulge more, saying that they were still in talks and that they
> would have equal screen time in the film.
> Eager to emphasise that they were still united as a team, he said
> that they had just watched Vanness' film Star Runner
together. 'It's very good. His gongfu is very good and his kissing
scenes are excellent,' he gushed. 'And Vic's album is out. It's very
good. I hope that everyone supports him,' he said.
> Yen himself has been recording his solo album under the tutelage of
> Singapore producer Peter Lee Shih Shiong since late last year. It
is due out in March.
> While success is sweet, it comes with a hefty price too. He has
very little privacy left. He dated an older woman 'for four to five
> years' during his pre-fame days, but admitted that he has not had a
> chance to date since then.
> So how popular is he?
> His co-star Cheung noted that when he was in Hong Kong making Magic
> Kitchen in September last year, he hardly went out for fear of
being mobbed. 'He couldn't go out to buy clothes. He couldn't go
> shopping,' she said. These days, however, Yen seems to wear his
fame reasonably well. 'I don't like shopping. People give me so many
presents, there's enough for me to wear,' he said, smiling.
