To attract foreigners to come to Taiwan, Zhong Jin Tourism Board invites F4 to film an idol drama.
Dong Sen News
September 5, 2006
Korean Drama Da Chang Jin (Jewel in the Palace) has made South Korea increase its tourism, making them earn a lot from money spent by tourist, this has stimulated the interest of the Communications group of the Tourism Board, they have now decided to follow the example of the Koreans, for this endeavor they will be spending NT$85 million and sought F4 idol group for this project. They will use the sceneries of Taiwan as the backdrop of the new drama project. The plan is to have this broadcasted in Japan and South Korea, it is their hope that this project will entice overseas tourist to come and see the sights of Taiwan.
Follow the example of the Korean Dramas! Idol dramas have promoted Taiwan sceneries, Winter Sonata, Da Chang Jin, these dramas have been very popular and have helped pushed them to be hot. We can not belittle the use of idol dramas, there have been studies in this and the domestic tourism board prepared a follow up, they are prepared to spend NT$85 million to film an idol drama and help push Taiwan in the international arena to advance to the Japan and South Korean market. They will be using the idol group F4.
At present the tentative outline for the drama would be “Wonderful Love Hot Dance Troupe” they will use F4 as a group who loves “street dancing” they will be the champion of the youth. The special feature of this is for the main actors to have gone all over the 8 tourist spots of Taiwan, but of course included in the drama would be love stories. The leading ladies haven’t been decided on at the moment, it can include: Yang Cheng Lin, Wu Pei Ci (partner of Vanness in MG2), as well as Xu Ruo Xuan (Vivian Xu) who has already made a name for herself in Japan.
The drama will have a total of 25 episodes, the plan is for it to be shown April next year, five big broadcast stations will show it in Japan and Korea. To follow are concerts, promotional activities, merchandise products. The tourism board has the confidence that using idols can attract overseas tourist to come and see the sceneries of Taiwan.

Hm...I'm not sure bout that one. It doesn't sound that good. The drama plot I mean. It seems more like something that Vanness would do instead of the rest of F4. But I think I would watch it anyways, since it features them. It's hard to decide. xp

F4 year end concert.
MinSheng Bao
September 12, 2006
Everyone has been playing close attention to the news that F4 will have a year-end concert and will also act as the Tourism Ambassadors of Taiwan and will star in an idol drama, Yan Cheng Xu has candidly said that he just heard about that news when he read the newspaper. No one has mentioned this to him. When they returned to Taiwan the other night, Jiang Yi Peng and Chai Zhi Ping had a meeting; it was clear that they have to wait for the complete set of materials before they can come out and talk. This will include the script, the director, and of course the schedule. Is he going to act in the drama? Right now it's too early to say anything.
Leading Lady locked up for Yang Cheng Lin.
Taiwan Apple Daily
September 12, 2006
Jerry returned to Taiwan yesterday to take part in the Tourism Ambassador (Japan, Korean Film Plan). Zhu Xiao Tian and Wu Jian Hao will be in charge of the programmes. Jerry and Zai Zai will act in the idol drama. Leading lady is decidedly locked up between Yang Cheng Lin and a Japanese actress we will be able to confirm this in the days to come. Yesterday Rainie's manager Jiang Cheng Jin said: "Yue Jian Qi Cheng."
The tourism ambassadorship contract clearly stipulates that any press conference, concert, promotional activity F4 will come out together this is to avoid the question that F4 has already separated. As tourism ambassador there is a publishing house in Japan who will come out with a photo book.
NOTE: Translated parts related to F4 activity only.
