Early life

Born in Banqiao, New Taipei City, Taiwan, Yang Ya-che graduated from the Taipei Municipal Zhongzheng Senior High School and the Department of Mass Communication at Tamkang University. His works cover a wide range of genres, including stage plays, television dramas, serial dramas, documentaries, and films. Yang Ya-che’s father was a fortune teller. While he originally studied French at Tamkang University, he later switched to the Department of Mass Communication to further pursue his interest in journalism and film.

Career

In 2002, Yang Ya-che won both the Best Director and Best Screenwriter awards for television drama, Wei zhang tian tang (違章天堂), at the Golden Bell Awards. In 2008, his first feature film, Orz Boyz! (囧男孩), was a box office success and became the runner-up in Taiwanese films of the year.[3] It also sold the rights to Japan, becoming the first Taiwanese film purchased by NHK in the past decade.[4] In 2012, his second feature film, Girlfriend, Boyfriend (女朋友·男朋友), won multiple film awards, including the Audience Choice Award and the Best Actress at the 49th Taipei Golden Horse Awards. His third feature film, The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful (血觀音), won the Best Feature Film award at the 54th Taipei Golden Horse Awards.

The female lead characters in Yang Ya-che's television dramas are frequent Best Actress winners at Golden Bell Awards: June Tsai won the Best Actress award in a TV series at the 36th Golden Bell Awards for Farbidden Love (逆女); Hsieh Yue-hsia won the Best Actress award in a TV series at the 37th Golden Bell Awards for Wei zhang tian tang (違章天堂); and Wanfang won the Best Supporting Actress award in a mini-series at the 43rd Golden Bell Awards for No Practice Love Song (不愛練習曲). The main female characters in his three feature films all won awards at the Taipei Golden Horse Awards: Ivy Mei won the Best Supporting Actress award for Orz Boyz! (囧男孩); Gwei Lun-mei won the Best Actress award for Girlfriend, Boyfriend (女朋友·男朋友); and Kara Wai and Vicky Chen won the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards, respectively, for The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful (血觀音). For this reason, Yang Ya-che is acclaimed as the "Queen Maker."

In March 2022, Yang Ya-che became the chairman of Mirror TV after the previous chairman, Lee Yung-feng, founder of the Paperwindmill Theatre, resigned from the position just 11 days after Chen Chien-ping was abruptly removed. Zheng You was announced as the new chairman of Mirror TV two weeks after Yang Ya-che's appointment.[5]

In May 2022, Yang Ya-che announced that he would cancel his Netflix subscription due to a Facebook post by Netflix that made fun of Taiwan's inability to purchase rapid COVID-19 tests, which sparked outrage among netizens who accused him of double standards.[6]
