"Many people like Lin Chi Ling" - Jerry Yan

Last week, Taiwanese actor Jerry Yan made a special appearance at the celebration party of movie Black & White, Episode 1: Dawn of Assault, to show his support for his mentor, director Tsai Yueh-Hsun. Not only did he steal the limelight from lead actor Mark Chao, Jerry was always seen by the director's side, and had his arms around the latter's shoulders. 

After two hours, Tsai, who could not hold his liquor, became drunk. Jerry then turned his attention to model Tang Guo Zhong, a friend whom he had known for 10 years. The two chatted through the night and left the party together when it ended. When Jerry and Guo Zhong noticed that reporters were trailing their car, they asked a friend, who was on a motorcycle, to help make way for them.

However, the two actors later decided to stop their vehicle for a quick interview. When asked if he was afraid that the rumour mill will spin about his close relationship with Tsai, Jerry explained that the director was merely concerned about his hand injury.

Last year, it was reported that Jerry had fractured his finger and might end up with a crooked finger, if he did not undergo surgery. Healso indirectly admitted that ex-lover Lin Chi-ling had asked after his injury, when he replied, "Many friends showed their concern during the Lunar New Year."

One reporter then probed if his New Year resolution was to marry Chi-Ling, to which Jerry jokingly said that he would have to talk about it to the reporter in private. However, the actor complimented Chi-ling, saying, "I think she's a good girl. I also think that there are many people who like her."
