H: I would like to about that time, the time when you were going through so much hardship… it’s much better now… those times…what happens when you get home? J: Just really, just felt very sad whenever I got home. ( Jerry looks up blankly, as if in recollection of that moment.) So sad that…wasn’t there a time… in the media, I mentioned I really wanted to have a girlfriend? You wish that you can have a girlfriend to come home to, then she can keep you company. And in case you are sad, she is there beside you to console you… giving you a pat on the back and … H: Can listen to you talk… J: Right. You would feel so comforted. That time, it was really as if you’re over there, (Jerry points forward) but you’re not a person at all. You face the company, you face the outside, you face the people around you, and you feel no one understands you. H: So that day, you know…that day we ate together, when we talked about CHIN CHENG WU your eyes just lit up. You really enjoy listening about CHIN CHENG WU’s personality, also what is his attitude toward matters. Isn’t Chin Cheng Shi also… J. Actually, no, I just felt…like now I got to recognize many advertising agents, who possibly before, built up some superstars. For example, some presented Wang Fei, others presented those who now are really super. But actually, did you know, they told me those people worked very hard before and were very dedicated to their jobs. I feel that their success is not accidental. Not even good fortune. To say it in one word, ah, he is lucky, that’s why he is so famous. I don’t think that is so, particularly after hearing so much. Just like that day they said CHIN CHENG WU dislikes others being late. I was surprised when I heard this. Shows some scenes from next interview scene At the Studio: J: …. Just like that day they said CHIN CHENG WU dislikes others being late. I was surprised when I heard this. H: Moreover, you must have been so happy. J: Ever since I was shooting in Taiwan , I have never heard about a person saying he dislikes others being late…because everyone likes to be late. Everyone is used to being late. H: I also dislike others being late. J: Right. Let’s now say after you hear about it, after hearing there is someone who shares your point of view, you would feel, even if others cannot identify with what you feel, at least in certain areas you were right. It wasn’t wrong to have always insisted on this from the beginning until now. Maybe we wavered before - should I or should I not.. do you know what I mean? Should I or should I not just follow what everyone does? Actually, I could. It would be a lot relaxing for me to do it like this. I would be even happier. I can even say I just play everyday. I can maybe go to the PUB or wherever and just have fun with everyone and waste my life. But because I don’t think that way, there is no way that I can do this. (he repeats.) There is no way I can do this. So at that time they said so-and-so were also like that before, very hardworking… and looking at them…actually, deep inside there is this small voice telling me I am very happy, because it made me even more sure my insistence was right. You know, actually, I am very afraid of being affected by outer circumstances, being like this by myself. I may be insistent now but maybe in 3 to 4 years’ time, I will change… I will become just like everyone else. It’s possible…considering that I’m in Taiwan and everyone does it this way then… you know…I might end up like this. But actually, I don’t ever wish to change this way. I don’t wish it at all. Narration: At work, the ever cautious and child-like Jerry Yen, probably because of family financial environment since he was small, has an edge over the young men of his age, having the more sentimental characteristics of an actor. Moreover, the real Ah-Shui always carries with him equipment weighing 20kg. H: Actually the influence of the audience is very strong. Surpassing distance and time. Look at you, just after one series, I think all Chinese populated places knew about you. Later on, if you come up with this book showing how you pursued your goal against all odds, just to be able to drive one person on, would surely make you feel it was worth it. It’s the value of your existence. J: Let’s put it this way; at least, I am sure of myself. Because you know, people need to be assured, no matter how much or how little you have done, regardless of whether it was well done or not. You would wish, a few voices would let you feel… or support your strength to go on. I feel, my being able to hold up till now was because there were a lot people supported me, then, the fans who like us have let me feel this self confidence… I have this … I have the drive to go on H: Your friends still have something to say: Film Clip: Man in glasses talking: He can be extreme, being very cold, being very hot. Because sometime back when we were happily laughing and I turned around saying: “…right, do you agree?” He suddenly looked outside the window, brows locked deeply in thought. I was dumbstruck. Later on, when I asked him, he then told me he read a news report and what it said. He suddenly connected with it and he was touched by this certain piece. He has a little of this literary style, which is really special. Young men of this time wouldn’t care… they just watch movies, play around. Although I don’t understand this literary style, he has some of this. He is well-read. Make up artist speaking: I feel that he is really attentive. Once, I saw that his bag was very dirty. It was a backpack, colored white. The edges have already turned black. I said: “Hey, your backpack is very dirty. How can such a handsome person like you be using such a dirty backpack? The next time, somewhat to everyone’s surprise, he changed it. I said, you changed it! He said, right, because you told me before it was very dirty so I had to specially go back to Tao Yuan to buy one. He is a very frugal person. For example, when we go out to have some fun, like going watch a movie, he has to watch it for 2 turns. We would watch first, then buy something to eat. Later on he would take out his wallet ... I couldn’t believe my eyes!! How can a person use… about this size, ( she describes it with her hands forming a square) and that sort of yellow-earth colored wallet. The edges have blackened extremely. I tell you, Sister Fang take a look at it. Tell him to show it to you! Girl with long hair talking: Sometimes when traveling, later on seeing a mother and a small child. The child is very cute. He would always very innocently say to me… then would shyly request “help me go and talk with them I would like to take a picture with that child.” |
