On the 19th of July, the martial arts idol TV drama "Jian Xia Qing Yuan - Cang Jian Shan Zhuang" held a press conference in Beijing, main stars Nicholas Tse, Charlene Choi, Wu Ya Qiao, Kenny Kwan, Yumiko Cheng all attended. There has been news that Nicholas Tse is getting 300,000 per episode, to this Nicholas Tse responded saying the fee is given to the company so he's not clear himself. As to the news that once his contract is up with EEG he will move to Shanghai and start up his own company, Nicholas Tse denied this.
It's been a few years since Nicholas Tse has attended a press conference for a TV drama, thus, rumours related to this TV drama have become the talking point of the media there. Before this there was news stating that Nicholas Tse is getting 300,000 per episode, with 30 episodes in total he and his agent company EEG would pocket nearly 10 million. To this, Nicholas Tse expressed, he picked the script himself, all the members of the crew were very sincere, the way the look has come out has also been very satisfying, as for the fee, it is given to the company, he's not too clear about it himself. And the rumour about how after his contract being up with EEG he will move to Shanghai and start up his own company, Nicholas Tse denied this, he expressed he doesn't plan to set up a company.
Compared to the others who have put lots of effort into looking good, Nicholas Tse's clothing is a lot more casual, a shirt, trousers, flip flops and a pair of sunglasses. Even though it's still a loitering youth look, but Nicholas Tse is the oldest of the cast, and with his early career he is a "senior" in terms of experience, thus Wu Ya Qiao who plays his girlfriend in the series naturally calls him "Teacher Nic". As soon as she said this, the fans who came to support him immediately hissed, Nicholas Tse himself wasn't used to it either, he said: "I suddenly feel older."
Nicholas Tse and Charlene Choi have had many collaborations before in movies and TV dramas, this time the two are working together again, not as lovers but a pair of adversaries, they constantly argue and bicker. Charlene revealed that in real life she and Nicholas Tse are a pair of adversaries, for this time's roles in the drama, they are only "moving themselves from real life into the drama." The so called adversaries, is actually Nicholas Tse teasing Charlene, Charlene said that on her first day at the company Nicholas Tse made up a nickname for her, "My English name is Charlene, so he calls me Shaolin." Nicholas Tse laughed on the side and added: "It's so easy teasing Charlene." In this series, Nicholas Tse is not only teasing Charlene, but he's the master mind behind a lot of things, Nicholas Tse says there's a lot of room to play with when you're playing the bad guy, "It's actually really hard being the good guy."
"Jian Xia Qing Yuan - Cang Jian Shan Zhuang" is an adaptation of an online game named the same, it is about how in 2030 one of the three recognised swordsmen of the online world, Zhao Xiao Zhao (played by Nicholas Tse), makes a copy of the sensor and successfully enters the game in order to challenge experienced player Ye Fan (played by Kenny Kwan) to reach his goal of ruling the gaming world. Zhao Xiao Zhao's girlfriend Ye Jing Yi (played by Wu Ya Qiao), Ye Fan's girlfriend Ning Xin (played by Charlene Choi) are dragged into it. After their consciousness enters the Tang dynasty in the game, the path to go back to the future is blocked by a mysterious person, the memories of the gamers are blocked, a plan to take control the whole world is partially revealed, they are all dragged into the struggle to become the leader of the Wu Lin. Wu Ya Qiao is the female lead and also one of the directors and script writers, she revealed, she begain writing the script for this drama four years ago, at the time Nicholas Tse's image was in her mind, "When I got near the end Zhao Xiao Zhao and Nicholas Tse were more and more alike, you could say Zhao Xiao Zhao was made for Nicholas Tse."
