Jerry Yan Doesn't Love Terry Guan Ying or Alice Zeng, New Drama Project May Be Subject To Change

It was reported that after the press conference held at the beginning of the month, rumors have been flying everywhere recently. It was rumored that Yan Cheng Xu still has doubt about the script and the 2 female leads, so he has not signed the contract with the production team. Starlit was planned to start filming in early May, but Yan Cheng Xu won't join the crew at that time. Therefore, the project may be subject to change.

Being the No. 1 idol in Taiwan, Yan Cheng Xu's chaisma in overseas markets is amazing. As long as having him in the cast, overseas copyright is always sold very good. That's why at the same time as filming of Hot Shot, 8 out of 10 new drama projects from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mainland China list him as the No. 1 candidate for male main lead. The fight for getting Yan Cheng Xu has been super hard. Starlit is the first idol drama invested by CCTV outside of Mainland China. Its scope and being directed by Director Lin He Long were the 2 main reasons why Yan Cheng Xu accepted the project.

Before the press conference, Zeng Kai Xuan claimed to be appointed by Yan Cheng Xu and had a fight with Guan Ying over who is the female lead. With the publication of her bare-bottom photo, Yan Cheng Xu stated immediately that he had never seen her. After the press conference, the rumors of Yan Cheng Xu's having doubt of the female leads has never stopped. Some corresponding personnels complained in private that Yan Cheng Xu is being excessively meticulous again.

Yesterday, Yan Cheng Xu's agent, Wang You Xuan, admitted that some details have not been settled for Starlit's contract, so the contract is not signed by both parties. However, it has nothing to do with the script or the female leads. Wang You Xuan then joked if he really had problems, he wouldn't have attended the press conference. She further stated, "As Hot Shot was delayed, it affected some of Jerry's planned work. As soon as the contract and his schedule are settled, he will join the filming."

Guan Ying's agent indicates that she will arrive at Shanghai in these two days and Zeng's agent mentioned that she would join the team in early May.

Starlit's publicist, Wang Yong Hui, indicates that she is not sure about Yan Cheng Xu's contract with the production team. However, she feels strange of the rumors, as it has been the plan since beginning that different actors will join the team at different time. Now the filming will focus on Guan Ying first. She said, "The press conference was held already. There shouldn't be any problems."
