Sales presentation filming for the third installment of the mega hit, Rosy Business <巾幗梟雄> franchise is still underway. Scriptwriter Ip Kwong Yam (葉廣蔭) recently revealed on his Weibo that the third installment is tentatively titled, Rosy Business: The Heroes of Espionage <巾幗梟雄之諜血雌雄>. In an earlier interview, producer Lee Tim Sing (李添勝) revealed that Rosy Business 3 will be a romantic drama that takes place during the turbulent 1920’s of Republican China, and it will largely focus on the characters portrayed by Wayne Lai (黎耀祥), Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), and Edwin Siu (蕭正楠). Both Wayne and Myolie portray special agents for the government, and Edwin portrays the leader of a powerful triad in Guangzhou. At the promotional clip filming on October 14, Natalie Tong (唐詩詠) disclosed that she will be portraying a Han traitor who will attempt to assassinate Myolie’s character. Natalie said, “I am thrilled to be able to have an opportunity to partake in the Rosy Business franchise. I’ve worked with Wayne and Edwin before in Detective Columbo <神探哥倫布>. I am sure that we will have a lot of chemistry.” Natalie also revealed that she will share the most scenes with Myolie and Edwin. To prepare for her role, Natalie watched the espionage thriller films, Lust, Caution <色，戒> and The Message <风声>. Edwin was asked if he felt pressured to lead a drama with Wayne and Myolie. He said, “Not really. I’ve worked with Wayne Lai several times before, and he’s a very nice guy. I feel more pressure working with Myolie though, but I will use this pressure as my driving force.” Myolie appeared at the filming dressed in a Peking opera outfit. Myolie’s makeup took almost three hours to apply, and she did not dare to talk too much as the wig glued to her sides may fall off from too much movement. Myolie said, “This looks reminds me of Liza Wang (汪明荃)!” As to whether she had asked for some opera singing and dancing tips from Liza, Myolie said, “No, but we had an opera master on set to teach me!” Sire Ma (馬賽), Eric Li (李天翔), Susan Tse (謝雪心), and Henry Lee (李成昌), also took part in filming Rosy Business 3’s sales promotion trailer, in which they portrayed a royal Manchurian family.
