Extravagant Challenge gets Postponed
It
was reported that the project Skip Beat is on hold. Because of Skip
Beat, Jerry Yan Cheng Xu has rejected 5 other drama projects and GTV
has put in over 10 millions of money.
Skip Beat has been through
a lot of obstacles, including changing the director, rumors of Jerry
Yan Cheng Xu's changing the script, one of original cast, Joe Cheng,
withdrawing from the project, and now the production is on hold.
According
to source, as the Japanese has larger share of the investment, they
have the say. Recently, there have been personnel changes on the
Japanese side, the new Executive Producer has some problems with the
script and that is why he ordered the project to be put on hold.
In
this project, GTV has put in over 10 millions of money. Regardless, it
has informed the crew and cast to reschedule another time period for
the possible future production.
On the other hand, actors have
lost a lot as well. For instance, other than spending time to take
classes for Skip Beat, Jerry Yan Cheng Xu has rejected 5 other drama
projects, and he is estimated to have lost about 40 million. Jerry's
agent, Fenny, indicates, "Skip Beat's script is really good. Everyone
is looking forward to it. Now it's forced to be put on hold. There is
really not much we can do." Yesterday, after knowing the project was
being put on hold, someone suggested to Jerry to look for a love
relationship. As busy as he is, it is not easy have a 3-month break.
Ariel
indicates that she finally has the chance to work with Jerry and now
the project is on hold. There is nothing she can do except wait for the
later developments.
