… and it’s about time!! >:(
Looks like things are starting to get released. The Four, starring Zhang Han, William Chan, Yang Yang, Mao Zijun, Janine Chang, GuiGui, Han Dong, Huang Ming, Mickey He, and even a guest star from Zheng Shuang, has started releasing character teasers for the series set to air on Hunan TV following RoCH 2015. Therefore, I thought I would make a post.
More stills below the cut.
Not to be lonely in ancient times, Zhang Han starts a new “F4” in the Ming dynasty.
Touting to be one of the best produced ancient series of the year, detective/romance series The Four 少年四大名捕 released its first trailer today. In addition to clips of the leads Zhang Han, Mao Zijun, William Chan, Yang Yang, Zhang Junning, Jia Qing, GuiGui, and Hao Zijia, there’s also intros of the antagonists and guest stars Han Dong, Heaven Eternal Earth Everlasting lead Huang Ming, and Mickey He, Butterfly Lovers antagonist Ma Wenlong, Bounty Hunter lead Qin Yongchen, and Zong Fengyan.
GuiGui looking pretty as opposed to cute for the first time.
Following the spectacular male leads, photos of the females and the villains of New The Four were released, including Zhang Junning, Bai Bing, Guigui, Jia Qing, Hao Zejia as the female leads and Qian Yonchen, Ma Wenlong, Zhou Muyin and Chen Dacheng as the villains.
Given that actors like Qian Yongchen have recently lead major dramas of their own (most significantly Yu Zheng’s The Bounty Hunter) , yet they’re playing secondary villains here, this is an impressive cast indeed. Continue reading
Can you match the backshots with The Four and the antagonist?
I think this might be my favorite cast of lead males ever for a mainland drama.
The Four are played by a string of rising male talents – Zhang Han, Yang Yang(male) Mao Zijun and William Chan – while Yu Zheng leads Mickey He, Qian Yongchen, Ma Wenlong and Zhou Muyin play the antagonists. Given that at least four of those have succesfully been leads of their own, that’s pretty amazing.
The female leads are really varied as well, starring Zhang Junning (female), GuiGui, Jia Qing, Bai Bing. I’ve always thought Jia Qing was the prettiest out of all the gorgeous girls in “Schemes of Beauties,” so I’m especially excited to see her again.
Guest appearances from Tong Liya, Zheng Shuang, Han Dong, Ye Xuan, Huang Haibing, etc. I wonder if Zheng Shuang and Zhang Han will have a scene together?
