Angie Chai is the producer the Tourism Bureau idol drama "Fruit Tears", and is estimated to begin shooting in July. With regards to image packaging, AC said yesterday: "Everyone might not be aware that now it's important to change their name into JVKV (taken from the first letters of their English names), but these wordings won't have to change the so-called F4. Also, on the issue on who will substitute for whom, from the start, it's already known that Jerry and Vanness had previous commitments taken, and could not entirely join in the project. It's only Zaizai and Ken who would definitely be in the casting.
The changing of the all-famous F4 name might not be easy. AC explained that F4 is their role name during their Meteor Garden series. At that time, the Japanese Publisher who owned the copyrights authorized it's use. However, nowadays, the Japanese had come up with their own Meteor Garden. If this will continue, in the future it's possible that both countries will have two F4s. That is why the Japanese Publisher conveyed their wish that if another "wave" has nothing to do with the Meteor drama, they asked not to use the name F4 again. So in the Tourism Bureau's International Fan Meeting held a few days ago, the name was already changed to JVKV.
AC also said that actually, the Tourism Bureau looked for JVKV to serve as spokespersons, film an idol drama, as the 4 can undoubtedly act best However, Yan and Wu had already filled commitments by the second half of this year. She frankly said that with the drama's drawing power, its impossible to have 4 male leads for the parts. During that time, the drama "wave" role of Dao ming Shi was the heaviest, therefore, they never made the "Fruit" drama to demand 4 male leads, because there are presently two female leads, hoping to come up with two plots. Excluding Zaizai and Ken, she really once asked Mike He but finally, because of his commitments, they had to give him up.
