Zai & Cai

Jul 21, 2007 02:18

Last week, I posted about my surprisingly calm attitude. But now I could feel my sanity crumbling as September approaches. I feel as if my brain would explode from information overload. I'm just fervently hoping and praying that I would remember everything when crunch time comes.

On to positive news...

20070720 Zaizai to be in director Cai's new drama
China-Times

After "The Hospital," Director Cai will start filming a 20-episode TV drama series, 痞子英雄 (pi zi ying xiong). Rumor has it that Zaizai will be the leading man. Cai Yeh Xun said yesterday that this would be the third time they collaborate together. It will start at the end of the year if things proceed as planned.

Cai Yeh Xun said, "The male lead has to be good at guns and can stand being hit." Zaizai has received the story outline. He is looking forward to playing the challenging role of a policeman.

The drama will be like a Taiwan edition of "Lethal Weapon." This time, the topic will not be as serious and will have quite a few action scenes. The series was originally created for F4, but now only F1 will star in it.

The main characters will be three men and three women. Besides Zaizai and Xiu Jie Kai ("Daye" in Mars), he is looking for a thin, tall girl with the look of mixed ancestry to play a judo expert. Pede ba mag-audition? I can learn judo in a month :P

All policeman badges, uniforms, patrol cars, and the police station will all be new, it is estimated to cost NT$ 3 million per episode.

If there are any doubts on whether ZaiZai had already accepted the role, his post at Vicpower vanished those doubts:




I'm soo happy for him! He has always held Director Cai in high esteem. (He's my favorite too! He's my F6! :P) Mars is his turning point as an actor. And Mars is the series that made me feel proud of his work. ^________^

And... it's an action series! Another first for him! I wonder if this is somehow related to the rumored F4 movie where they would supposedly play hitmen.
