"Run, Lilly! It tells the story of Huang Lijiao, a woman of the same name from Singapore (Huang Sitian), China (Jin Mengyangzi) and Malaysia (Wu Lixuan), who meets and later becomes a friend of Mo Rebellion. Zhang Longmin said of the concept of the story: "We wanted to write a drama based on women at the beginning, and there are actually many foreigners living here, including China and Malaysia, so there is such a theme that reflects the truth. ”
Wu Lixuan
As for how to find Jin Mengyangzi and Wu Lixuan, Zhang Longmin said: "The role of Lijiao from China, we first looked for her through the agency, I did not immediately select her when I first saw the photo of Jin Mengyangzi, because she made up in the photo, which did not match the role, but then her agent arranged for us to video, and the Yangzi without makeup was very different from the photo. During the audition, Zhang Longmin chatted with Yangzi and found that she had a kind personality and temperament that was also in line with the role, so he decided to use her.
Kim has performed in dramas in China but is a new face for local Singaporean audiences, and Zhang Longmin said that she was considering whether the actor was suitable, "I think Yangzi is very likable, plus she is from a cobain and has orthodox training, so I have confidence in her." And if you look for familiar faces, you may have an established impression and less freshness. ”
Speaking of Wu Lixuan, Zhang Longmin was impressed by her steady performance, "When I went to Malaysia to shoot a scene, I saw Li Xuan on TV and thought she was very stable and temperamental, so I thought of her when I wanted to find the role of Malaysian Lijiao. ”
Although there are many Malaysians among the MediaCorp actors, Zhang Longmin also took into account elements such as the age and freshness of the characters, and finally finalized Wu Lixuan.
