Biography from TheMovieDB

Jerry Yan, born Liao Yangzhen and also known as Yan Chengxu, is a Taiwanese actor and singer who rose to fame as a member of the iconic group F4. He gained widespread recognition for his role as Daoming Si in the hit Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden and its sequel, Meteor Garden II, which catapulted him to stardom across Asia.  Following the success of the series, Jerry continued performing with F4 alongside Vic Zhou, Vanness Wu, and Ken Chu, releasing three studio albums as a group. In addition to his work with F4, he built a successful solo career in both music and acting.  In 2004, he released his debut solo album, Jerry for You, featuring the track "One Meter," which ranked on Hit Fm Taiwan's annual chart. The album also earned a spot among the Top 10 Selling Mandarin Albums at the 2004 IFPI Hong Kong Album Sales Awards.  Jerry’s second album, Freedom, was released in 2009 and achieved remarkable success, setting a record for the highest-ranking male artist in the Chinese Song Albums category on Japan's Oricon Chart. In Taiwan, it was the ninth best-selling album of the year, as ranked by G-Music.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
