Show
Luo & Rainie Yang's new idol drama 'Shanghai Sweetheart' will enter
the Sunday night idol drama battle on the 1st of November, replacing
CTS drama 'Roseate Love' and battling against SETTV's 'Autumn's
Concerto/Next Station, Happiness'. The other idol drama 'Calling For
Love' which was originally slated to release in October, has not yet
obtained the broadcasting permit, and so has confirmed to delay
broadcast. In 'Shanghai Sweetheart', Show's new style has a
breakthrough, never been seen before; his mushroom hairstyle is bound
to make viewers burst into laughter, and even Rainie was unable to
control her laughter and kept having NGs!
'Calling For Love' is
a joint collaboration with mainland China, but it still hasn't obtained
the broadcasting permit. Because the week commencing 1st of October is
the golden week, and everyone will have a 8-9 day holiday, producer
Angie Chai was worried that there would be delay in the process of
issuing permits, and they might not get the permit before the original
airing date - 18th of October. She didn't want to take this big risk,
hence the producers have decided to air 'Shanghai Sweetheart' which is
still currently filming, first, to save the situation.
In the
drama, Show plays a mushroom-head, herbivorous but kind & honest
guy called Lin Da Lang. His personality is so innocent that it seems
somewhat silly. Originally, Angie only planned for Show to have a
mushroom hairstyle but during costume-fitting, Show improvised and
added bangs at the front, and also discussed with Angie to add big
black-rimmed glasses. All this, matched with shorts and long socks
produced a surprisingly good result. Hence, Angie immediately agreed to
Show's suggestions.
Actually, the reason for Show's character
name in the drama being Lin Da Lang is because a few years ago, there
was once when Show was chatting to Angie, and the 2 were humming Pink
Panther's song 'Da Lang Da Lang Da Lang~'. Both of them thought that it
would be very interesting if there was a guy called Da Lang, and so
this idea has always remained at the back of Angie's mind. And now, in
'Shanghai Sweetheart', Angie really did make the male lead's character
name Da Lang, and his character is also someone who likes Pink Panther
and loves the colour pink.
Show's performance was very
hard-working, but Rainie is also hard-working. When she saw Show's
bangs, she couldn't control her laughter and kept having NGs. Even
looking at his back would make her laugh, in the end she begged the
director: "I'm sorry, give me 10 seconds to let all my laughter out, I
really can't control it!"
