Ariel Lin and Mike He's 3 year heart knot is hard to untie, according to reports Ariel has accepted 2 new dramas; "Paper Rose" and "Extravagant Challenge", producers originally had preferred to have Ariel and Mike to be on stage together, at the end because Ariel clearly stated she didn't want to be on the same stage as Mike, both have declined.
Yesterday "Paper Rose" announced their chosen male lead, it's Bryant Chang from Ariel's same company. Ariel's manager Zhoumeiyu says, once heard that the producers had wanted to use Ariel and Mike's relationship as a big write up, she of course to protect her artist is first, against letting Ariel and Mike to be on stage together. She said: "Since it's already known that the focus is on news, why would we do it?" But she also firmly indicated: "In the entertainment industry there is no forever enemy, except there just some things, that needs time to slowly digest."
Ariel and Mike were once TVBS's heavily promoted on screen couple, 3 years ago at the time they collaborated together on the idol drama "Love Contract", there were rumors saying sparks were exchanged, whoever thought because Mike said to others saying he never had Ariel's number, rumors were strictly gossip news, causing Ariel to be quite embarrassed. The two from then are enmity, apart from no choice but to also shoot an advertisement they've never been together since.
Now Ariel is the idol drama #1 sis, the choice to choose character has influence, reports from Mike's manager Wuzhiyi heard "Paper Rose" producer's let Mike go because of Ariel, answering low keyed and helplessly: "Originally there was no confirmation that they were going to accept "Paper Rose"." And it is understood, the other drama "Extravagant Challenge" originally wanted Mike, now it is changed to Joe Cheng.

Ariel Lin hopes to collaborate with Jerry Yan in a new idol drama entitled "Skip Beat", she said that she wants to collaborate with those whom she hasn't worked with before, and plus, Jerry Yan is a really hard-working artist, so she does not need to be too worn-out. This is because she has met artists who were lazy, some of them could not even memorize the script well, while some of them only know how to look at themselves in the mirror.
Ariel attended a charity program yesterday, and had breakfast and lunch with the children there. She, who possesses a kind heart, bought a few coin boxes to support "Mei Ni Jiu Bu Xing*" charity program to assist children living in poorer families.
When Ariel films for dramas, there is not a certain artist who she wants to and does not want to collaborate with. She even has a pretty image of bringing luck to the male artists, because most of them become popular after working with her, and the dramas in which she starred in usually receive high viewing rates. Four years ago, she had a conflict with Mike He, and until now the both of them still have not had the chance to work together again. Last year, there was an original plan of which Jerry Yan and her would collaborate in Hot Shot, but it was canceled as well.
However, faith is a very miraculous thing. "Skip Beat", which is a drama adapted from a Japanese manga, is planning to have Ariel and Jerry as the leading roles. Ariel said, she likes to work with serious artists. She has encountered a collaborator who did not memorize the script well, causing the whole crew to wait for him to finish memorizing on the set. There is also one type of artists who do not even care about whether their performance is good or not, all they know is grooming themselves and looking at the mirror only.
*Mei Ni Jiu Bu Xing: Literally translated as It Is Impossible Without Your Help. It is the name of a charity program that Ariel participated in.

Jerry Yan has the monopoly of the idol series market, bossy rumor keep on popping up. Previously he revealed that he will not attend the premiere of [Hot Shot], only Show Lou (Xiao Zhu) and Wu Chun will attend and now it is about how he has question about Zheng Yuan Chang's (Xiao Zhong) role in GTV's new idol series [Skip Beat] has too many screen times. Among the [Idol Series Main Male Leads] Xiao Zhong was also being dragged into the battle.
Manga adaptation; 2 guys 1 girl
[Skip Beat] is an adaptation from the best selling Japanese manga, the leads are 2 guys and a girl. Originally the leads are Jerry Yan, Xiao Zhong and Lin Yi Chen, this is the cast list that was set last time. In the manga, the 2 male leads will have equal screen time, Xiao Zhong will be the bad guy in the beginning and in the end his character will eventually become a better man, the character has a major turnover.
Screen time being decreased; Joe Cheng in doubt
Heard that after Jerry Yan had read the script, he feels that Xiao Zhong's character really stands out, so he returned the script and hope the script writer would make some amendments and put the main focus on himself. When Xiao Zhong knows that his own screen time was being decrease, character becomes more like a side character; he has decided to quit the role. When asked Xiao Zhong to confirm the news, he remains reserve by saying: [I really like the script and the series is still under preparation, not sure whether I will accept it yet.]
Jerry Yan is very popular in the oversea countries. All his series are able to get a very high price when [selling] them to the oversea countries. A lot of idol series are requesting for Jerry Yan to take part in it. This time his request to amend the scripts, will also make the original manga publishing company feeling discontented.
Who are in the cast list; having 2 versions
For this, [Skip Beat]'s director Xu You Nin denied Xiao Zhong quitting the role, he said: [At the moment the only confirmed role is Jerry Yan, our main reason is to have a good series, currently the script is still under amendment, adding more scene for the male and female leads is of course a must.] While the answer from JVR's promotional manager Zhang Nan Yun was totally different with Xu You Nin, she said: [At the moment, we haven't received the news that Jerry Yan is going to accept this idol series yet.]
