Recently, the latest news came out that Hong Kong TVB will shoot a series similar to "Penthouse" under the leadership of Tsang Chi Wai.
According to media reports, Zeng Zhiwei returned to TVB as a senior executive in early 2021 to carry out internal reforms, in addition to the beginning of major changes in variety shows, he also began to improve the quality of dramas.
Recently, it was reported that he invited Ye Nianchen, the director of the film "72 Tenants", who had cooperated with him, to plan to produce a TV series similar to "Penthouse", telling the story of the revenge and struggle of several women, but the script has not yet had a prototype, and it is still in the conceptual stage.
On the other hand, the heroine of the drama has been preliminarily selected, tentatively starring Chen Ying, Liu Peiyue, Jiang Jiamin and Cai Jie.
In particular, Cai Jie, she and Zeng Zhiwei have cooperated in the movie "Aberdeen", the opponent scene between the two has impressed many audiences, although it has not yet been determined whether the two have the opportunity to play on the same stage again, but it still makes the outside world quite looking forward to it, and the director is also actively looking for other actors to join, relying on the accumulated connections in the show business circle, running around.
