Hmm... He used the term "boy" when she was his counsellor/volunteer in the orphanage - guess the age difference.
Romeo also talked about his experience filming The Journey 2 in Malaysia.
When I talked about Chris Tong and Romeo Tan being casted as a couple in Good Luck in my previous post, I mentioned that I wasn't sure if there is much age difference in the May-December couple relationship. Apparently, in Romeo's imaging interview with Xinmsn, he disclosed that his character, Liu Xuan, was an introvert boy that grew up in an orphanage until he met an angel like volunteer, Lin Shi Hui (Chris). When the two reunite as adult, he started chasing her due to a commitment that he made when he was a boy. Hmm... He used the term "boy" when she was his counsellor/volunteer in the orphanage - guess the age difference. Romeo also talked about his experience filming The Journey 2 in Malaysia. I hope the stylist will realize that Romeo looks better with his fringe down.

This would be the 3rd collaboration between Chris & Romeo after they played a May-December couple (with 7-8 years age difference) in 96 Cafe, and mother-and-son in upcoming Blockbuster drama, The Journey 2. Chris is known for pairing up with older males like Tay Ping Hui, Terence Cao and Thomas Ong, but in actual fact, Chris (31) is only 2 years older than Romeo (29). They again portray the younger-husband- older-wife in Good Luck (百岁大吉), though it wasn't specified how big is the age difference. Chris shares a witty text-conversation with Romeo: "Please stop calling me mother, please call me goddess!" and the latter cheekily replied " you are still my mother" About Shihui & Liu Xuan...Shihui (Chris Tong) has always been an independent, and a sensible girl who does not give trouble to her parents. An outstanding student both in conduct and studies, she joins the working world as an independent-thinking, modern woman. Opinionated and capable, she is savvy in seizing opportunities. She is employed in an auditor’s firm. Her excellent performance earns the boss’ trust. Shihui resents her father’s overbearing ways, which strains the relationship between father and daughter. Yunxiu constantly pesters Shihui to tie the knot, fearing that she will pass a marriageable age. This forces Shihui more than ever to evade the question. But all that changes when she meets Liu Xuan (Romeo Tan). Liu Xuan is good looking and charming, with an air of maturity. He can strike up a conversation with anyone and projects a mature demeanor. However, he is a boy at heart, and occasionally behaves in a way that raises eyebrows. Despite holding a Masters in Philosophy, he does not pursue fame and fortune. Full of passionate ideals, he gives up a well-paying job as a lecturer in an academy to teach in a Special Education school, helping children with learning disabilities. Liu Xuan meets Shihui and he finds out that she is a former volunteer at an orphanage. Deciding that she is the only girl he will ever marry, Liu Xuan woos her aggressively. In no time, Shihui and the younger Liu Xuan get together. Xiaohe vehemently opposes the relationship. The rebellious Shihui throws caution to the wind and enters into a “lightning” marriage with Liu Xuan. In marriage, both begin to notice each other’s differences. Shihui is subsequently awakened to the fact that the marriage is unstable and holding on to it tightly will only hurt both parties. In the end, she decides to part with Liu Xuan. But after the separation, both of them discover that they are unable to forget each other. Good Luck premiers 2nd February 2015, after You Can Be An Angel Too. Bonus: Romeo's abs at 18:55 (since I can't find a decent photo of them together)Here's a list of the airing dates (subjected to changes) for the upcoming dramas:
Wrapped/ Soon-to-wrap Drama(s)Apparently, the March-drama (Life is Beautiful) has concluded their filming as the casts (minus Rui En) and crews attended the wrap-party that was organised last week. Many actors (and actresses) has also wrapped their scenes for Jan-drama, You Can Be An Angel Too, like Rebecca, Bryan, Zheng Ge Ping, Zoe Tay, Xiang Yun and Aloy Pang as seen from their Instagram posts. After 4 months of intense filming, the casts and crews of The Journey 2 has wrapped their scenes in Malaysia. Other than newbie actress, Carrie Wong, who has wrapped her final scenes in Singapore, her Instagram post indicates that the other casts has few more days to go. Not-yet-startedThere are no news regarding the filming of Feb-drama (Good Luck) after the imaging sessions. Filming-in-progress Drama3 Wishes, stated to air after Against the Tide, is currently filming in progress. This is no surprise since Wawa Production usually has 2-3 rounds of filming (filming-short break-filming) as their scripts are produced simultaneously while they are filming. (YAY! to filming in episode-sequence. BUT Note: Not to be confused with 118, where filming and telecast are 2 weeks apart) 3 Wishes is still considered a drama that is produced prior to airing date. It's just that post-production (editing) doesn't take a long time as Wawa is an independent company, thus, starting (and ending) the game late.
Oh, yes. That's Hayley Woo (beside Shane Pow in the 1st photo above), twin of Mediacorp actress Jayley Woo. She'll be portraying Pow's girlfriend in the drama. The month of August- September is full of casting reports. From the 190-episode drama 118 to 贺岁剧 Chinese New Year drama - Good Luck (百岁大吉), we are given a lot of casts interview but little is known of the story plot or the character they play. I'm not sure if the interviewer had forgotten to ask the casts about the character they are portraying during the imaging session or they conveniently excluded it from the article/video cause their body weight and endorsement scams are much more interesting to read. I tried digging up on any information I can find for 百岁大吉, and chanced upon the super long synopsis on Xinmsn's Call for Music Proposal. It's super long and tiring to read the whole text without knowing who plays what character, cause I can't visualize the unfamiliar character names. For the next few minutes, I shall do match-the-character-names-to-the-story-line. This 2014 Chinese New Year family drama takes place in the household of a four-generation family and is set to span decades too, albeit briefly, which will see Hui Fang transition from a 39-year-old Lin-He Xiangniang in the 1950s into a 99-year-old grand dame in modern day Singapore. Same-age peers – Chen Li Ping, Li Wen Hai, Wen Zhang and Chen Shu Cheng (who is coincidentally playing her onscreen partner in the currently airing Spice Up) play her daughter and sons in the drama. Lin-He Xiangniang (Hong Hui Fang), matriarch of a 4-generation family, celebrates her 100th birthday on the first day of Chinese New Year. Widowed in her middle age, she slogged away and singlehandedly raised four sons and two daughters. A life of hardship has made her increasingly stern towards those around her. She is especially harsh on her children. In the eyes of others, Xiangniang is an old lady who is getting cranky by the day. They keep a polite distance from her. With some of her children migrated overseas, she is left with her third son, Lin Xiaohe, youngest son, Lin Xiaoping, and her adopted daughter, Lin Xiaozhen. Although they are family, everyone fights over money matters every day. For peace of mind, Xiangniang splits the family assets among her children to let them venture on their own, and even makes them leave the family home. Kym Ng & Aloysius Pang pairs up as mother-son duo again after It takes two (对对碰) 2 years ago. Unlike her auntie role in 对对碰, Kym will be portraying Li Suxian, a thoughtful women that strives to make everyone around her happy. Similarly, Aloy jumps out of his usual rebellious-teen role to portray Lin Jia Yuan, a mature character with a sense of righteousness. Terence Cao plays Lin Shijie, the ex-husband of Li Suxian, who brought up his son (Aloy) in Australia. Lin Shijie is the orphaned child of Xiangniang’s eldest son. His parents were killed in an accident when he was still a baby. Shijie was brought up by Xiangniang. He is her favorite grandchild among her brood of grandchildren. Shijie’s unbridled ways, non-competitive nature and carefree spirit captivates Suxian at first sight. Shijie and Suxian get married. Shijie’s character remains unchanged after marriage and they have a son, Jiayuan. Suxian feels that Shijie lacks a sense of responsibility and is wasting his life away. She reaches breaking point and part ways with Shijie. To avoid hampering Suxian from remarrying, Shijie makes up his mind to migrate overseas with Jiayuan. After regaining her singlehood, Suxian puts her heart and soul into her career. Suxian is attentive to details and is thoughtful to others. She has no qualms about putting up a front as long as this does not burden anyone. Although she has divorced Shijie, Suxian remains close with Xiangniang. She is the one who understands Xiangniang’s feelings most. Xiangniang lives in hope that Suxian will reconcile with Shijie. Jiayuan, who grows up abroad receiving a liberal education, is sly and capricious. He enjoys observing people and is good at reading their moods. After years of being away, Jiayuan returns to the family home. He sees in his great grandmother, Xiangniang, a centenarian surrounded by a bunch of money grubbers lusting after her remaining fortune. As Jiayuan laments at this observation, he is suddenly seized by a sense of righteousness. When Xiangniang regains consciousness from an accident, Jiayuan joins hands with Xiangniang to save the family. Chen Li Ping plays Lin Xiao Zhen, the adopted daughter of He Xiang Niang. Liping's previous project was 2014 Chinese New Year drama Yes We Can! (我们一定行!), filmed last year. Lin Xiaozhen has always felt that Xiangniang treats her like an outsider. In her younger days, she was unfortunate to have married a gambling addict, and picked up the vice herself. Her husband’s gambling debts led him to abandon his family and daughter. The headstrong Xiaozhen refused Xiangniang’s offer of assistance, and went ahead to deliver a baby girl, Fang Enqi (Paige Chua). Xiaozhen is unable to overcome her gambling addiction and the business at her restaurant worsens. Liping's real life husband Rayson Tan is rumored to star as her reel life husband when he posted the following caption on his Instagram: "So scary! Why? Why me! Never expect to be cast as her husband in the next drama....Moreover, wanna me to portray a bad hubby image...hmm.....(crying) Help! Hahaha..." Lin Shijun (Zhang Zhen Huan), a typical youth of the “strawberry generation” in the post ‘80s. Shijun has lofty ideals but limited means. He wants to earn big bucks but lacks the ability. He aims high and acts smart. His investments often end in losses. Whenever Shijun needs money, he will turn to his relatives.
When the two break up, Shijun realizes that he is truly in love with Enqi. For the sake of love, Shijun makes up his mind to shed his pampered lifestyle and make an honest living. His relationship with Enqi has a fairy tale ending. IMO, everyone who breaks up in this drama will reconcile. The end~~ |
