Since 2012, Bosco Wong (黄宗泽) has already completed three mainland Chinese dramas including Racecourse <跑马场>, The Woman Above the Bread Tree <面包树上的女人>, and Young Sherlock <少年神探狄仁杰>. Initially paid 100,000 RMB per episode, Bosco’s filming fees have soared to 250,000 RMB per episode, which is comparable to TV King Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎). In March this year, Bosco flew to Hengdian to film his fourth mainland series, Detective Yang Jin Bang <神探杨金邦>. Bosco Mixes Well with Co-stars Bosco has a great relationship with the cast and crew members of Detective Yang Jin Bang. Although his Mandarin still needs improvement, he conversed with others as much as possible to improve his skills. Bosco also studied the script diligently to memorize his dialogue. During his free time, Bosco went grocery shopping and prepared soup for the cast and crew. When others invited him out to dinner, he was also sure to attend. The production company has been treating Bosco very well. Detective Yang Jin Bang was supposed to film during the summer, but the schedule was pushed earlier since Bosco cannot withstand the scorching heat. Kevin Cheng’s Popularity Declines in Mainland China? In contrast, Kevin Cheng reportedly did not get along well with the filming crew and exhibited poor attitude. While filming Yip Man <葉問>, it was understood that Kevin’s offensive remarks provoked a martial artiste into inflicting real injuries upon him. Although Kevin’s career received a boost after Bu Bu Jing Xin <步步惊心>, his popularity has declined since Yip Man aired. Viewers felt his action scenes were poorly performed and his acting was not up to par. His Mainland dramas, Red Dust <滚滚红尘> and Hero <英雄>, only received mediocre ratings. Furthermore, the broadcast dates for two of his other dramas, Love and Passion <万水千山风雨情>, as well as Hua Xu Yin <华胥引之绝爱之城>, remain unfinalized. Since then, Kevin has not been offered any more scripts from Mainland production companies. He reportedly returned to TVB to film Eye in the Sky <天眼> after realizing his career in mainland China has come to a halt. Creds: ihktv
