With such capital, the TV station will definitely support it.She had hardly ever filmed a supporting role, and her first debut was the heroine.But her mind is not on work.
Wan Qiwen revealed that when filming dramas on ATV, she had to shoot five or six works a year. Often, before one drama was finished, another drama had to be prepared, because ATV did not have many talents, and the young actresses had a lot of work and had no time to rest, but she could only grit her teeth and persevere.
When she filmed Ma Xiaoling, she became famous in one fell swoop, but she didn't know that she suffered a lot from becoming famous. When she filmed the third part of the series, she had an accident and suffered a fracture, which affected the sciatic nerve. She was so painful that she was worse than death. After the filming, she withdrew from ATV.
She signed a contract with TVB in 2012. Qiwen Wan insisted on cooperating with TVB in the form of a major contract, but she didn't want to work too hard. However, after filming "The Deadly Resurrection" in 2016, she quietly entered a state of rest because she became confused again. She had no idea why she worked so hard and rushed forward bravely.
Wan Qiwen said that after filming "The Deadly Resurrection", she thought about it very seriously and realized that she was not happy at all for so many years, because she was running and chasing others, and seemed to be walking the paths that others had taken. So after she figured out, she decided to have her own pace and walk her own path, so she had the decision to move to the mainland today, which was fundamentally to give up life in Hong Kong.
Wan Qiwen should have thought about living in the mainland and settling here for a long time. It was not officially launched in 2020 because she wanted to complete the contract relationship with TVB.
However, before ending its cooperative relationship with TVB, Wan Qiwen established Wan Qiwen Studio, gradually moving the focus of its entire career development to the mainland, and now he has started a homestay business in the mainland.
The matter of settled and developing in the mainland was not so quickly made public because Ouyang Zhenhua revealed this news during the promotion of "Doing Big Things for the Hu Ji".
In addition, investing in B&Bs was not in Wan Qiwen's work plan at first. After she arrived at the local area, she found that she liked this place so much, so she hit it off with her boss and invested in her own investment, so she started this business.
In the two years before Chen Hao's rebirth, Wan Qiwen had lived in the mainland for a long time, and lived and worked both ways. The most important thing was that she was no longer bound by contracts and could do whatever she wanted. After she was not bound by contracts, her biggest feeling was freedom.
Wan Qiwen said bluntly that she did not have any ambitious goals, but just wanted to live a happy life and do what she wanted to do, so the job she chose was very easy, and most of them were mainly on stage.
In fact, although Wan Qiwen is known as the leading actress of ATV, Chen Hao has only watched "I Have a Date with a Zombie". She has watched 123 movies. Ma Xiaoling can be said to be a memory of a generation!
"I Have a Date with Zombies" made Wan Qiwen, allowing the audience to remember the role of Ma Xiaoling, and it can also be said to be the last glory of zombie film and television works!
When it comes to "I Have a Date with a Zombie", many people will remember that Ma Xiaoling, played by Ki-wen Wan, not only has a perfect figure, but also has long and beautiful legs, a cheerful personality, pure appearance, and is also kind-hearted. She likes to raise small animals, especially cats.
Or there are many viewers who don’t even know Wan Qiwen, but only know that she played Ma Xiaoling in "I Have a Date with Zombies". She is not only 171cm tall, but also 140cm long legs, which makes many boys and girls envious.
Even when Chen Hao watched the TV series "I Have a Date with a Zombie" for a while, he was obsessed with Ma Xiaoling's long legs!
Although Ma Xiaoling played by Wan Qiwen is classic, she is still inseparable from the success of the drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie"!
On November 30, 1998, a TV series called "I Have a Date with a Zombie" was broadcast on Hong Kong Asia TV, which instantly set off a ratings frenzy. A zombie fever spread throughout Hong Kong. The starring actors in the play became popular stars. Then ATV made a series of trilogies in one go, creating an eternal Hong Kong fantasy classic. TVB next door regretted it.
In 2016, TVB tried to copy the success of the show and launched "Zombie" which also has the same zombie + urban elements, but unfortunately it was criticized for its low quality.
Originally, TVB had the opportunity to get the broadcast rights of "I Have a Date with Zombies".
Screenwriter Chen Shisan once explained in a program that his friend Liang Liren once asked TVB about the plan for this zombie drama, but TVB did not adopt it.
After all, it is a subject that has never been filmed before, and it may also involve expensive special effects production. TVB, which has always been very cautious about investment costs, can only be discouraged.
Fortunately, Lin Zhengying has agreed to star, so Chen Shisan has the capital to discuss this project with ATV.
That's right, it's the first Chinese zombie film, Mr. Lin Zhengying.
In 1995, his "Zombie Taoist Priest" won super high ratings for ATV. The series itself was to be filmed in a trilogy. The zombie-themed script Chen Shisan wanted to write, which is the prototype of "I Have a Date with a Zombie", and perhaps the third part of "Zombie Taoist Priest".
Unfortunately, God is jealous of the talent. Before Lin Zhengying could play the role, she was seriously ill and unfortunately died of late stage liver cancer on November 8, 1997.
Sure enough, ATV, who lost Lin Zhengying, did not plan to continue shooting zombies.The zombie film has lost its soul character. What's the point of filming?
But Chen Shisan was unwilling to give up.
Maybe he thinks this is a historic breakthrough in the Chinese zombie theme. Even without Lin Zhengying, he can still be very popular. It would be a pity to throw it away.
So, he changed the character of Lin Zhengying to a contemporary woman with a distinct personality, which may be his ideal type, with 42-inch long legs, short skirt and long boots, and greedy for money. The conditions are extremely in line with the expectations of Wan Qiwen. He took on this role, Ma Xiaoling, the 40th generation leader of the Ma family of the exorcist dragon clan.
With Ma Xiaoling, "I Have a Date with a Zombie" has completely turned into a zombie urban emotional drama.
The zombie side of Lin Zhengying became a female-led person, while the zombie side was set up with a zombie male protagonist Kuang Tianyou who did not absorb fresh human blood.
"I Have a Date with Zombies" subverts the audience's perception of zombies. Zombies with unique superpowers, fashionable clothes, and immortality are naturally more charming, making people want to become zombies instead of exorcists like Lin Zhengying.
"I Have a Date with a Zombie" is undoubtedly a success. Three films were filmed in one go. The male and female protagonists in the play can be said to be very popular with this series. Even Qin Lan, who was very popular before Chen Hao was reborn, could only play a supporting actress in this drama!
Of course, this is also because Qin Lan is still a newcomer!
