The cast of Bu Bu Jing Qing <步步驚情>, which recently began filming in Tianjin, threw a surprise birthday party for female lead Cecilia Liu (劉詩詩), who turned 26 years old on March 10. After filming wrapped up for the day, the cast and crew brought out a birthday cake and showered Cecilia with blessings and congratulations. The extremely happy Cecilia downed two enormous slices of cake and treated fans waiting at the set to another cake. Cecilia’s birthday also happened to be the first day that male lead Nicky Wu (吳奇隆) would be on set. When the two came face to face, Nicky joked that he had prepared a huge birthday present for her, but because it was too big, he was unable to bring it with him. Cecilia, who is known for being a food aficionado, immediately asked, “Is it a refrigerator?” which stirred up much laughter. Among the birthday presents Cecilia received this year were handcraft memorabilia from the Forbidden City, featuring cute depictions of Maertai Ruoxi, the character she played in popular time-traveling drama Bu Bu Jing Xin <步步驚心>, of which Bu Bu Jing Qing is considered a modern-era reboot. While blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, Cecilia wished for the filming of Bu Bu Jing Qing to go smoothly, and for everyone to see her effort and improvement as a result of this drama. Because Cecilia is often busy with work during her birthday, she is usually unable to spend this special day with her parents. Nevertheless, her friends in the cast and crew are always eager to help her celebrate, and she has grown accustomed to treating them like her family members. In 2011, her birthday coincided with the filming of Bu Bu Jing Xin. Cecilia recalls having an extremely good time celebrating her birthday that year. Creds: Hunantv
