TV queen Maggie Cheung will be returning to TVB in May to film the grand production "The Queen of the Great Tower", which is said to be the medical version of "The QUEEN of News". Like "QUEEN", this series' executive producer is also Chung Shu Kai.
It is known that TVB has always been looking for her to return to film a series. She has also looked at several scripts and has finally chosen "Queen" as the work marking her return. This time, the male lead is TV king Ruco Chan. Another TV king, Kenneth Ma, Edwin Siu, and Kenny Chung, who is filming a series for TVB for the first time, will guest-star. Other main actors include Alice Chan, Moon Lau, Jinny Ng, Cheung Wing Hong, Angel Chiang, et al. Some of the main scenes in the series will also be filmed in Europe.
Doing Homework by Crazily Watching Movies
In an exclusive interview with on.cc, Maggie frankly said that returning to the company this time has a lot to do with Chung Shu Kai's sincerity. Regarding taking on the challenge of playing a cardiac surgeon for the first time, she has also been doing her homework and has also watched many medical-themed movies from different places. She said, "Of course, this series is collaborating with a Mainland platform. The resources and the story creation are all very captivating, and I will also be fighting for my original voice for the Cantonese version and the Mandarin version this time. Mainland fans also always ask me when I would be dubbing myself...want to hear my voice. I have already fought for this with TVB.
Everyone knows that Maggie's requirements have always been quite high. She frankly admitted, "I have always had high requirements. Also constantly have demands in terms of the dialogue's accuracy and exquisiteness. Kai Jai also knows that I have high requirements. Because we are too familiar with each other, there are many things that I would also dare to directly bring up to him, exchanging and discussing with one another. He is also great...accepts my suggestions well". Asked if there are many surgical scenes to deal with, she said, "I also thought about finding a cardiologist before to understand what some of the surgical procedures are like, or finding a specialist and helper to help, but it seems that there won't be too many surgical scenes this time".
The male lead Ruco is playing the person in charge of a multinational bank in the series; his scenes mainly revolve around Maggie and Moon. When interviewed, Ruco frankly said that he still does not know what the role is like: "I worked with Maggie before when filming 'Forensic Heroes III" in the past. Actually, I still don't know what role I'll be playing; however, if there's an opportunity to be a doctor, it would also be not bad. Have also always been shooting action scenes previously, which is more strenuous and prone to injuries, but being a doctor is also not simple. May require a lot of skills and memory. Also need to know more about medicine". Alice is playing the chairperson of a multinational investment group in the series. She said, "Very happy to be able to take part in this large-scale series. I have never worked with Maggie, so extremely looking forward to it. This time, the character also has an investment in the medical group...is extremely rich in the series, so it is also a rather important character".
The other actors in the series also revolve around this family of doctors, all of whom are medical elites. Kenny is the top leader of the entire medical group. In the series, his sons, Kenneth and Edwin, are both professional doctors. Their wives, Jinny and Moon, are respectively a child psychologist socialite and a lawyer specializing in medical malpractice lawsuits. When interviewed, Kenneth said, "I have not received an offical notification. I am not a starring role this time. (Would be looking forward to collaborating with Maggie?) Also looking forward to it! Looking forward to all those [I] have never worked with. Hope that we have new sparks!" Speaking of Jinny playing his wife in the series, he said, "I have also never worked with Jinny. If it's true, it will definitely be fresh to the viewers".
