Abstract:
It is reported that Louis Koo may enter the mainland online drama market for the first time and collaborate with director Ma Chucheng on a mainland-invested police and gangster-themed online drama. The project has not yet been officially announced, and information such as the project name, official cast, and launch date have not yet been announced.
This cooperation opportunity is related to the filming experience of "The Lie". Louis Koo had previously guest-starred in this TV series starring Cheng Yi, and shared the same screen with Au-yang Zhenhua again after the 1997 wireless TV series "The King of Deliciousness".
During the filming of "The Lie", Wei Shiya had an accident on the set and was seriously injured. The production progress was hindered and the actor's schedule was also affected. Ma Chucheng, who was in Beijing at the time and served as a producer, led a number of directors to Hong Kong to assist in speeding up the finishing work and finally completing the filming. Louis Koo and Ma Chucheng reconnected and discovered opportunities for cooperation while exchanging their respective work plans.
The two previously collaborated on the 2007 movie "Happy Birthday." If this police and gangster web drama project is implemented, it will be the second cooperation between the two parties about 19 years apart. The source also said that Ma Chucheng hopes to gain more opportunities to work in Hong Kong for this new production. "The Lie" has also tried to shoot in Hong Kong before.
