Jay Chou has a big surprise for the new year – he will enter the idol drama field! Jay will collaborate with mainland China to self-produce, direct, act and film a new science-fiction idol drama ‘Panda Hero’, and the main leads will be Nan Quan Ma Ma, whom he has brought up by himself. According to sources, ‘Panda Hero’ will have 20 episodes and will combine magic and technology together. To support his own ‘family’, besides Nan Quan Ma Ma being the main leads, Jay himself will serve as producer, as well as act a small role. Jerry Yan, whom he has just collaborated with, and S.H.E, who he has always had a good relationship with, as well as Zhou Xun will also guest in this drama. Yesterday, Beijing Jiu Zhou company confirmed this news; manager Du Da Ning expressed: “Jay likes unique storylines, at the time he made a lot of comments about this script, he thinks that noone has filmed a science-fiction idol drama yet, and should be especially attracting.” And as for Jay’s own pay, Du Da Ning expressed: “He is the producer himself, money matters can be easily discussed.” This drama will be filmed in both China and Taiwan. Because this news has not officially been released yet, JVR are remaining very low-key about this. Manager Zhang Lan Yun replied conservatively: “Jay has always wanted to film an idol drama, we are currently discussing about this, but the actual execution time has not been confirmed yet.” And as for this new drama choosing Nan Quan Ma Ma to be the leads, Zhang Lan Yue stressed that Jay has always taken good care of the people around him; hence this is not surprising.
