Another series of NJ and Steve Ma to come out this year?? Woww... this is awesome. I can't wait for these two series. Hopefully they both have happy endings , unlike their previous series. Both NJ and Steve Ma have strong, powerful performances and very compatible. I really enjoy watching them as a couple on screen. Thanks very much for the news, ejc999, this is what I've been waiting for and now my dream has come true. If you have any more news or trailers on these series, please share it here, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again, ejc999.

You're welcome. This is a link to watch Returns to the East Heroic Biography preview video clip online.
This series has a very good starting rate – 4.9 out of 5 so would be great. I like the instrumental song from the preview video clip. It’s combination of western style orchestra and Mongolian classical music style. Quite impressive!!

According to Steve Ma’s Chinese forum, director You Xiao Gang said “The Secret History of Sui Dynasty” has planned to begin shooting in June, July this year after his 4th secret history series “Kang Xi Secret History” lands on CCTV. I don’t think the director will release his 2 secret history series in the same year. Steve Ma and Ning Jing’s show, the 5th secret history series is more likely to air in next year.

Grrrr.... too much buffering. I can't watch it ! Is there anyway I can download the clip, ejc999? Don't mean to be troublesome but I can't read or understand Chinese or Korean
Now I'm a bit confused. How many series NJ and Steve Ma has been in? You said the one they are planning to shoot this year is the 5th series? I think I only watch the 1st series, second one NJ had a minor role while Steve paired up with another actress. But I don't know about the 3rd and 4th. Can you please list their names out and tell me a bit about them? I'm really confused now. So they haven't started shooting the series with NJ and Steve yet , have they?

Yeah, buffering in every second made me impatient fortunately it played smoothly a few weeks ago. I don’t know whether the clip is downloadable.

Confused with Steve Ma and Ning Jing’s five collaborations or five epics/secret history series?

1st Collaboration
1st epic/secret history series: Chinese title: Xiao Zhaung Mi Shi
English title: Xiao Zhaung Epic aka The Secret History of Qing Dynasty.
You might know Prince Regent Dorgon and Empress Dowager Xiao Zhaung if you have watched their 1st collaboration (1st epic/secret history).

2nd Collaboration
2nd epic/secret history series: Chinese title; Haung Tai Zi Mi Shi
English title: Prince Epic aka The Secret History of Royal
This is about the great grandson of Empress Dowager Xiao Zhaung, Crown Prince Yin Yang (Steve Ma) and his father Emperor Kang Xi. Steve Ma paired up with Shirley Dai. Ning Jing was a special appearance portraying as Emperor Kang Xi’s younger sister.

3rd Collaboration
A kung fu series: Chinese title: Mo Jie
English title: Demon World aka Devil Realm
I don’t know about this series. Just read some articles but not sure my translation is accurate. Steve’s character was a leader of a tribe. His has a son. His wife died. I don’t know the reason. His life was begun to change ever since he met a beautiful young lady (Ning Jing). Ning Jing has a younger martial arts sister (Hu Jing). Both sisters loved his character unfortunately both of them died. Steve’s character ended up the other actress. In an article, either the reporter or Steve said if he was a scriptwriter, he would revive Ning Jing’s character alive so as they would be able to build up their onscreen chemistry more.

4th Collaboration
Qian Long year based historical series: Returns to The East Heroic Biography.
This is about a tragic Mongolian hero Wo Ba Xi (Steve Ma) and other 3 Mongolian warriors. Ning Jing character is a Tibet Mongolian heroine, wife of Wo Ba Xi.

5th Collaboration
5th epic/secret history series
English title: The Secret History of Sui Dynasty
This series has not started out yet. This is the downfall of Sui Dynasty and the rise of Tang Dynasty. According to director You Xiao Gang, he has chosen Steve Ma as Emperor Yang Di of Sui Dynasty, Ning Jing as imperial concubine, Liu Da Kai as the powerful minister, and Wu Qian Qian as the mother of Emperor Yang Di, one of the dragon ladies Dugu Empress. You might know Liu Da Kai as Emperor Haung Tai Ji (Dorgon’s brother) and and Wu Qian Qian, as his first wife (Xiao Zhaung’s auntie) in Xiao Zhaung Epic.

Other Epics Series
The 3rd epic was Steve Ma and Vivian Chen’s series Tai Zu Mi Shi aka The Secret History of Great Grand King. Steve Ma portrayed as the ruler of Jin Dynasty, founder of Qing Dynasty Nu Er Ha Chi. He was the father of Dorgon and Haung Tai Ji.

The 4th epic is Kangxi Secret History. It’s about a famous poet of Qing Dynasty and Emperor Kangxi’s younger life age between 16 and 32. Hu Jing, Wu Qian Qian and one of actors from Mo Jie have appeared in this series.

thanks, ejc999. I've watched The Secret History of Qing Dynasty and Demonworld. In both series, Steve Ma and NJ did not have enough scenes together. The latter is even worse than the one before. As for the other series, I haven't watched them but since NJ wasn't in any of them or not pairing up with Steve Ma so, no loss.
Hmm... as for the trailer of Return to the East Heroic Biography, I guess I have to keep trying and hopefully one day I just might get lucky. I'm sure near to the time of its release, there will be more news and screen scraps. At least, I know that there will be 2 series coming out in future that I definitely won't miss.

If you know image URL, just put [img]url[/img]. It is hard to find images location from Steve Ma's Korean site. I treid once and was successful on the day I posted but it did not work next day. You can download and repost them if you register at photobucket.

I haven't watched any of these series. I've read the history of Dorgon and some related articles. History said Dorgon died suddenly at age of 38. I also heard that Dorgon died in episode 30. Was it true? Was my translation about Demonworld right? Why did Ning Jing and Hu Jing die? I prefer Returns to the East Heroic Biography more. It's a historical story and has a lot more interesting plots.

I'm back home now. Can't translate more. My PC does not encode Chinese & others. If Steve Ma would do "The Golden White Pillars" and "Love in Horizon" this year as his manager said, I'd post brief summary about these 2 series. Why bother otherwise?
