TVB reviewed the current state of its rumored couples and hoped to package “fake couples” as “real couples,” increasing their collective earning power. Although Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎)and Selena Li(李詩韻)denied earlier romantic rumors, the public regarded the pairing positively. As a result, TVB ordered to increase the number of kissing scenes in The Boxer King <拳王>between the pair. TVB hoped to increase the couple image between Kevin and Selena to a burning hot level to help the company make money! The King Boxer’s Producer, Law Wing Yin (羅永賢), confirmed that additional kissing scenes were added for Kevin and Selena. Mr. Law felt that Kevin and Selena portrayed a very convincing and harmonious couple in the series. “I agree with TVB’s intention to package Kevin and Selena as an onscreen couple. Their mutual scenes have a lot of ‘feel.’” As of yesterday, Kevin did not receive TVB’s directive to be promoted as an onscreen couple with Selena yet. “It’s okay if that were the case. I am not the one in charge; it’s up to the company to decide! However, Selena and I have partnered together only once. If you are referring to an ‘onscreen couple,’ then it will be more convincing to partner in two to three series.” Selena Li Crying in the Rain Yesterday, Selena portrayed a scene in which she cried after her romantic interest was rejected twice by Kevin. Selena revealed that she had to rely on eye drops for the tearful scene, “Due to the multi-angle shooting and the crowded location, it was difficult to concentrate emotionally.” (Additional kissing scenes will be added between Selena and Kevin?) “Yes, that is what I heard. In my career to-date, this series required the most number of kissing scenes! However, Kevin is a handsome man!” Nancy Wu (胡定欣)appeared in the rainy scene alongside Selena. Since Nancy’s character was mute, she had to use sign language to comfort the dejected Selena. Nancy laughed, “Since I portray a female boxing champion, I have to train physically to prepare for the role!” http://www.Dramasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Nancy_Wu-223x300.jpg Source: Orientaldaily Credit: Dramasian
