A little info on the new DOMD.
ZJZ expressed that preparations for the series has already started and the 1st half of the script is already completed. However, the most fustrating part for him is finding the right actor for the role of WXB. He is thinking of using 2 actors for the younger and older version of WXB, since he feels it's a very heavy role for any one actor. It is only after confirming the actor(s) for WXB then will he start the casting for the 7wives to suit the actor.
PS: there were speculations abt ZJZ being interested with casting Jay Chou as WXB, but thank god he changed his mind cause he thought the latter is too old for the role (plus he can't act for nuts..)

from wat i know of the novel i doubt if they would use big name actress for the seven wives...they barely appear, just snatches here and there...the one that appears the most i think is Song Nhi, the little servent girl besides WXB.
but then again since its such a small role the famed ones are willing to guest appear.
JAY CHOU as WXB.... OMG that would destroy the series...Originally Posted by sunnysnow
a definite No-no...
do you know any of the confirmed female parts?
sunnysnow...i agree with you on Jay Chou's acting...but how did he win an award for best new actor award...forgot what award for it ...Originally Posted by sunnysnow
best new actor.... i don't think that it was JUST the acting that got him the award.. i think it was popularity and stuff...Originally Posted by crazylife123
*sigh*...can't trust any of china's award...only trust the academy award.Originally Posted by 0-0-0

Wait let me get this straight...
ZJZ's main reservation was Jay Chou's age? Silly me, I thought there were other more glaring faults...

The ultimate agony for me was watching him 'cry'...he is just riding on the successful waves of his music career and hoping it contnues flowing into the acting industry. And the lastest is that even the acclaimed chinese director Zhang Yi Mou has offered him a swordsmen role in his latest movie together with veterans like Gong Li who will probably put Jay Chou to shameOriginally Posted by 0-0-0
Well, i guess there are always intense pressures on even good directors to cast ppl like him in their shows just for the pure sake of gaining audienceship..Originally Posted by MrIllusion
I can understand their reasons for casting him in a pop idol movie like Initial D but ancient wuxia shows?? I for one cannot even start to imagine how he'll look like in ancient wear, fighting scenes, let alone how he'll 'act'..maybe the role he got in Zhang Yimou's movie is the typical aloof and cold hero but WXB is definitely one role i cannot see Jay Chou in.

Favorite Acctress: Allysa Chia, Jessica Hester Hsuan, Ma Su, Niki Chow.
Favorite Actors : Alec Su, Louis koo, leo Ku, Nicky Wu, Kevin Cheng.
WHo are the candidates for WXB? I heard that some people wanted Jia Yi Ping to play that role, but I am not sure... Jay ZHou?? Are you kidding me?? IS this the same Jay Zhou that is a singer??? He is a great singer, but not sure about his acting....
Respect other people's opinions and views. If we learn how to do that than all of these fights and arguments will not occur.
I thought Qiao Zhen Yu would be quite a good choice but not sure if he is even auditioning for the role....
Jay Chou in wuxia series? Is this just rumors or is it legit? He can't even do modern roles...how can he act in ancient series...*sigh*...Originally Posted by sunnysnow

he cant act... end of storyOriginally Posted by crazylife123
Jay Zhou? my.. we got tony, jordan, and Dicky.. how the hell would Jay Zhou pull if off with that sulky face of his?![]()
jay chou as a wuxia hero........ NO WAY........
i think he could probably act ok in modern, but in ancient...... terrible
How old is Wei Xiaobao supposed to be in the series? I was reading bits of it and it seems like he is below 17years old
I am not sure...think it was bet 14-16..
