A chinese mag. newsarticle, its comparison amongst the various kings of money-making actors, there is Jerry & Jay from Taiwan, Andy Lau & Jacky Chan from HK & Bae Yong Jun, Rain & Jang Dang Gun from Korea. the comparison has gone intl. amongst all, Jerry makes the least, understandable as Jerry took so few projects.
also, its said that Jerry made abt NT$20 million from The Hospital (fatty2: i think it shld be talent fees plus return in investment on TH..)

China Times Weekly Magazine


Summary:
China Times Weekly reported that Jerry has earned a total amount of NT22.87 millions from The Hospital including talent fee and 10% bonus of profit sharing. However, Mao Liang and Yu Xiao Hui (Director Cai's wife and the producer of TH) have denied this rumor of Jerry's earning any bonus of profit sharing. After he estalished his own company, although the no. 1 goal is to earn money to maintain its operation, Jerry is very serious in choosing his work. Mao Liang indicates after putting in a lot of time and effort in filming TH, Jerry is satisified with its outcome and reputation created. He has also started his preparation work for filming Hot Shot. After he was officially announced by GTV to join the cast of HS as the first male lead, fans and drama buyers' attention was highly attracted immediately. With the cast of Yan Cheng Xu, Wu Zun, and Luo Zhi Xiang, overseas buyers started to compete for its copyright even before it started filming. Yan Cheng Xu has markets in both Japan and Korea. As soon as he agreed to join the cast, Japanese buyer immediately offered and bought it with the price of US30,000 per episode. Even Korean buyer, who rarely buys any idol dramas from TW, has bought it because of Yan Cheng Xu and the 2 other super idols' charm. The joining of Yan Cheng Xu did not just allow the broadcast company (i.e., GTV) to successfully sell the copyright, Jerry has also brought a great amount of foreign currency to TW. In both Tourist Bureau's F4 functions in April and October, only the sales of merchandise with his picture/image have already brought in over 10 millions of cash to TW. Although Yan Cheng Xu is very successful after establishing his own company, when compared to the Korean and other stars who have established their own companies, he has a lot to catch up. Therefore, a chart of some stars who have successfully established and made great profit after establishing their own companies was provided. Among the stars listed, such as Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, Jay Chou, and 3 Korean stars, Bae Yong Joon was reported as the most successful with yearly income of NT1500 millions. On the other hand, Jerry has the least income (50 millions), given that he didn't have any drama production this year.

Yan Cheng Xu's secret location in Tokyo for 3 months has been exposed.
