TVB has constantly been filming co-productions with Mainland; the cast and the investment are stronger than before. As for "Wars of the Roses", which held a blessing ceremony in Mainland last year, it is finally set to start filming at the end of the month. However, after more than half a year, the lineup has undergone a major reshuffle. In addition to Lin Xia Wei and Elaine Yiu as the female leads, Tavia Yeung will also join. As for the male leads, apart from the original Ruco Chan, Moses Chan and Kenneth Ma are also joining. The entertainment industry war among the three major TV kings and the two TV queens is about to begin.
Last year, Tavia returned to her mother company to film the anniversary series "Darkside of the Moon". This time, in "Wars", a revenge war breaks out between movie queens, even getting involved in the murder of a rich and powerful person. The three major TV kings are playing the boss of a film and television company, a male celebrity, and a rich second generation respectively. Celina Harto and Judy Kwong are also playing female celebrities, while Yoyo Chen has been assigned an important role.
Kenneth Ma Eager to Read the Script
[Xia Wei] said in an interview, "Have to currently be in seclusion to prepare for the role to get into the state of the new character". Tavia also said in an interview, "I have not received all of the scripts yet. Currently busy with the kids' start of school stuff. Have to take care of their things first before getting throwing [myself] into work. This time, the character's level of complexity should be much higher than in 'Darkside', so really looking forward to receiving all of the scripts. (You're working. Your husband, Him Law, has to take care of the kids?) Yes! He will also work, but when [he] does not have to film series yet, [he] can focus on taking care of the kids. As for working outside, it is okay as long as the time can be accommodated!"
Kenneth, who has surprisingly joined the series, admitted that he has not finished looking at the scripts yet. [He] said in an interview, "We'll officially start working in Shenzhen at the end of this month. I am already reading the script. Was there two days ago for a costume fitting and a meeting, and also discussed how to do the role with the producer. (Have not worked with Tavia for a while?) Yes. [Chung Shu] Kai also wants us to work together again. Last time, Chung Shu Kai actually approached me for 'Darkside', but was busy filming 'Prism Breaker' at the time, so was unable to film it. I have not worked with Tavia for a while. Sometimes take a picture and post it online; viewers also immediately recall 'The Hippocratic Crush'. We were a CP that left quite an impression on people back then, so very happy to be working together again this time".
Moses also said, "It's really been a while since I've worked with Tavia...even longer than Kenneth. Greatly looking forward to it". As for Ruco, he expressed in an interview that his first male lead in the series "The Other Truth" was working with Tavia. She got married after the completion of filming. Speaking of his female co-stars Linda Chung, Xia Wei, Aimee Chan, et al., who all got married after the completion of filming, Ruco laughingly said, "Everyone's biggest wish after working with me is to get married. Ha ha!"
Yoyo Chen Becomes a Key Figure
Yoyo, who has been assigned an important role, finished filming Producer Chung Shu Kai's series "D.I.D. 12" and "I Only Live Twice" not long ago. She said, "Very grateful to him for counting me in for so many series. This time, the character has some scenes with everyone. I have not officially worked with Xia Wei before. (How did [you] prepare?) There are so many good actors in the series...just have to be myself". Judy is playing an ambitious female celebrity who would do whatever it takes to achieve her goals; the role is very challenging.
Waited and Waited, Jacky Cai Forced to Pull Out Due to a Schedule Clash
At the end of last year, [Jacky Cai] took part in the blessing ceremony of "Wars" in Mainland. However, because the series is only starting to film after a long time, she has already been arranged to film another Shaw Brothers series, "Behind the Queens", thereby having to pull out due to a schedule clash. In addition, it is known that Yvette Chan and Eddie Cheung, who were originally taking part, are also not fated to film.
Regarding this, Jacky admitted in an interview, "Apart from myself, a few actors who were originally taking part in 'Wars' are also unable to film. I was also fully prepared and had always been waiting for a notification. However, if you ask me, if able to, I also hope to take part, even if it is more laborious because [I] looked at a bit of the script before. In the series, there are a few good friends. I think that it would also be quite fun. However, I could also imagine that it would really be very laborious to do both series at the same time. I believe that this is the best arrangement. The company must have a reason for the arrangement. Hope that both of the productions are good. I am now focused on preparing to film 'Behind'.
Kelly Fu Doing Her Homework to Prepare for War
Artiste Kelly Fu was previously in the same series as Xia Wei, but they did not have many scenes together. This time, [her] scenes in "Wars" are mainly with Xia Wei. She frankly said that she is happy in an interview: "There will be some rather intense scenes, so greatly looking forward to it". She said that there will be a script reading later; recently, [she] has been fully focused on doing [her] homework for this series, and also thanked Executive Producer Chung Shu Kai and the screenwriterfor writing a good role for her. She said, "I will definitely do well. Putting all [my] energy, time, and effort into the series. Actively preparing [my] condition".
