Jerry Yan in "Kung Fu Dunk 2", main male lead over Jay Chou?

After signing Jay Chou for the sequel to "Kung Fu Dunk 2" for 15 million a few days ago, in the last few days they are going make a big move to sign Jerry Yan, yesterday investor boss Wu Dun admitted that he had just about finalised the details with him, as to the outside world's guesses to which one of the two idols will be the main star and which one the supporting actor? Wu Dun said: "The two will both be the first male leads, in the movie they will be partners combining to fight crime."

Jerry Yan once played the male supporting role in "Magic Kitchen", but he still shone under the likes of male and female leads Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng, in these 4 years national movies have withered, he's put his strength into TV series, letting Jay Chou come from behind, and film "Initial D", "Secret", "Kung Fu Dunk", etc...Not only did he get the affirmation of winning the "Best Newcomer" from the Golden Horse Awards, these movies grossed over 50 million yuan at the box office in Taiwan, Jay Chou has also taken on the role of movie director, his results have been brilliant. To this Wu Dun yesterday expressed, Jerry Yan knows that not only will there be no pressure working with Jay Chou but he's very much looking forward to the fireworks between them.

Yesterday Wu Dun expressed that after the confirmation of "Kung Fu Dunk", the other collaborating companies from Mainland China and Korea suggested they find another Chinese or Korean actor, he once considered the pairing of Andy Lau and Jay Chou, but at the end he thought why go breaking the bank for a foreign star when you can support Taiwanese artists, and so he looked down, in the Taiwan movie industry Jerry Yan was the most famous, he's still young, he's had box office success abroad.

Jay Chou and Jerry Yan are both idols who love playing basketball, for their first collaboration on the silver screen, not only will they be comparing who is more popular but also basketball skills, the topics of discussion will be beat that of the first one. The sequel to "Kung Fu Dunk" is going to start filming in Shanghai between March and June next year, it will come out at the Spring Festival of 2010, it's got a budget of over TW$200 million.

Not only is Jerry Yan fighting it out with Jay Chou in movies, but the funny thing is his performance agent will be given to Jay Chou's JVR, who will be the main male in JVR in the future, the boss Jay Chou or Jerry Yan? Yesterday JVR general manager Yang Jun Rong, who was busy with Jay Chou's charity concert in Chongqing, said: "We spoke very happily with Jerry Yan before, I'm not ruling out a future collaboration."
