Blue Lan and Jenny Zhang match well in "Si Si Xin Dong"


Hunan Satellite and Shanghai Chong Yi Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and Hunan, China Television Communication Co., Ltd. work together to create an inspirational youthful idol drama: ‘Si Si Xin Dong - Rang Ai Shun Qi Lai‘ and held the closing ceremony in Changsha. Ding Yang Guo is the director of the drama and the cast comprise Blue Lan Zheng Long, Jenny Zhang Jia Ni, Zhang Dan Feng and Ying Er and co-starring Zhong Xin Ling.

Jenny Zhang Jia Ni will act as Zhang Xiao Ruo and she comes from a humble family and with a demure, optimistic and forward-going outlook, she is an university graduate in Qingdao; and she came to Xiamen to look for opportunities to become a host with her close friend, Yi Jian Mei (acted by Zhong Xin Ling). In a strange combination of circumstances, she met the owner of ‘Piao Café’, Ou Yang Chen (starring Blue Lan Zheng Long) coincidentally and they become good friends.

She came to Shanghai to pursue her dreams and her wish came true. She works in a television station as an intern. Her superior Lin An Di (starring Zhang Dan Feng) who is a bad-tempered and stubborn director. This made the newcomer to the job market, Xiao Rou be taken by surprise. Luckily, Xiao Rou receive encouragement and comfort from Ou Yang Chen and just when both of them sparkle affection and fall in love, Ou Yang Chen’s ex-girlfriend Tian Er (acted by Ying Er) appeared and this made Xiao Rou very uneasy. This is typical in idol drama.

According to the Arts Director and Television Producer, He Xiu Qiong, ‘Si Si Xin Dong-Rang Ai Shun Qi Lai’ theme is romantic as well as artistic and it is also combines humour and comic bringing out youthfulness new breath in the drama.

Being the male and female leads, both Blue Lan Zheng Long and Jenny Zhang Jia Ni are well-received. Blue Lan who is a typical slow to warm up kind and plus he is a vegetarian, this resulted in him taking a longer time to be led into the team. However, to the surprise of one and all, being the slow to warm up kind and a homely guy, he and Jenny Zhang Jia Ni became close friends. Both of them played the ‘Dare to be True’ game and he revealed to her his love affairs out in the open without any unfortified parts. The usual cool image of Blue Lan will be transformed to a new image in the drama: ‘Si Si Xin Dong-Rang Ai Shun Qi Lai’ as expressed by the director, Ding Yang Guo. And this is his first collaboration with Blue Lan and he is worried that Blue may not bring out the artistic characteristic of the owner cum photographer who is also a humourous and comical youth in the drama. However, after filming for a short while, Blue’s humour and jovial personality could be tapped and is seen and has achieved desirable results.

Female lead, Jenny Zhang Jia Ni is a Hunan Satellite contract artiste, and her career is smooth-sailing and she rose to fame in ‘Zi Ling’ and this is the third time she is working on an idol drama with Hunan. As the female lead, she not only need to portray her role well, but her responsibility is also in displaying her beautiful soft hair. The filming crew engaged a hair stylist to take care of this. And during filming, he will stare at her hair, and when he sees that there is minor flaw, he will ask filming crew to stop and he combs and tidy up before filming again. Director Ding Yang Guo said in order to display the beautiful hair, they have come up with several suggestions during filming. For example, there was a scene where Xiao Rou is at the seaside and the wind was blowing hard at that time and messed up Jia Ni’s hair. And the filming crew who wants to unfold before one’s eyes her black beautiful hair and to foster the sense of beauty, deliberately ask her to use a small fan to blow up her hair to control the direction of the wind.

Director Ding Yang Guo also expressed that Zhang Dan Feng, Ying Er and Zhong Xin Ling performances are also ideal. For instance, when he discuss with Zhang Dan Feng on the role of Lin Ai Di, they both reach a consensus that it is essential that the role is a baddie because ‘women love bad guys’. As for Ying Er’s role, her character is delicate and charming due to her upbringing. And the audience is familiar with Zhong Xin Ling who acted in the sister role in the drama: ’Fated to Love You’. And in ‘Si Si Xin Dong – Rang Ai Shun Qi Lai’ she has notable performance and she is the only one whose voice is recorded on site.

Hunan Satellite Television Station Assistant Advertising Director and Main Producer, Kou-Hsu Wen revealed that the drama: ‘Si Si Xin Dong – Rang Ai Shun Qi Lai’ is at the final stage of post production at the fastest speed and the audience will be able to view the drama by mid year.

This is Hunan Satellite Television first big production for the year 2010, and after 5 years of strategic planning, Hunan Satellite Television has produced several home-made dramas such as ‘Dream Link’ 《又见一帘幽梦》’Bloody Western Hunan’, 《血色湘西》’Invincible Ugly’, 《丑女无敌》 "With the view of Meteor Shower",《一起来看流星雨》 《恰同学少年》、etc, and the next big project will be "New Fair Princess" 《新还珠格格》.
