It was rumoured that while filming for idol drama serial - [Down With Love], the production team was severely behind schedule for more than one month and feared having to compensate an estimate of NT$5,000,000 for damages to Jerry Yan. In response to media probe about the probable compensation, Jerry expressed, "I have not given any thought to that." Meanwhile producer Ke Yi Qin said, "Jerry is very loyal to friends, he is not taking a single cent."

Time is money! GTV's new drama serial [Down With Love] began filming in May. The initial filming contractual period for the main casts - Jerry and Ella was only until end of July. However now that the production team is well behind schedule for one and a half months, this has especially affected Jerry's schedule. He has supposedly already rejected an estimate of 10 commercial activities etc, amongst which included a big project in Japan; all of these could mean a loss of over millions in earnings. Based on the contract Jerry had with the production team, for any delay in filming schedule of nearly 50 days, he can demand for additional damages compensation of at least NT$5,000,000.


Rush to Wrap Up Filming on the Streets; Ella Has to Adjust Undergarment in Public

For the past one month, the production team was witnessed frequently shooting scenes off the streets of Taipei, indeed it appeared the whole team is rushing to wrap up filming for this serial. The day before yesterday (11 Sep), the production team was seen filming on the streets again. Jerry seized every opportunity to increase efficiency, while Ella had to put her hand into her blouse to adjust her clothes hurriedly. It was speculated that she was adjusting her undergarment and had to sacrifice her image to do so in public hastily, as there was no time for her to find a secluded spot to do so.

In response to the speculated compensation of NT$5,000,000 due to delay in filming, Jerry replied via his artiste manager, Fenny - To be able to collaborate with the director of [Spicy Teacher], "the priority now is to focus on his acting."

Meanwhile Ella has only 3 to 4 more days to finish filming. Her company, HIM, stated that they have rescheduled her work in order for her to wrap up filming. As the filming contract has already stated on the conditions and payment terms should there be a delay in filming, hence, HIM would not be making demands for additional compensation.

Producer Ke Yi Qin also added, "According to our contract, we should have to bear the compensation. But Jerry values old ties, and he mentioned he would not want any additional compensation."
