Following the trend of a rising number of artists creating their own production studios, Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝) also followed suit by setting up her own production company a year ago. This enabled her to possess greater artistic and professional control over her career, while developing new talent. Cecilia will produce her first mainland TV drama, where she hand-picked Viann Zhang (張馨予) to star in the new project! Though Viann Zhang was frequently in the eyes of the media in scandalous online quarrels with boyfriend, Ron Ng’s (吳卓羲) fans, the sexy 25 year old's acting career moved on the fast track. Apart from the anticipated The Patriot Yue Fei <精忠岳飞>, Viann Zhang could be the female lead in Cecilia Cheung’s new drama, Naked Love <裸愛>! The male lead will be Victor Huang <???>. Cecilia will guest star in the drama, appearing as the “third party” in Viann and Victor’s love. Just after partnering in The Lion Roars 2 <河東獅吼Ⅱ>, Cecilia Cheung was impressed by Viann Zhang and sensed that her talent can be improved further. Viann’s manager, Jason verified that Viann will be starring in Naked Love. He stated, “Cecilia’s script is excellent! Viann is looking forward to this project!” In high demand, Viann Zhang presumably rejected 4 film offers to star in Cecilia Cheung’s TV drama. Viann was paid an attractive 7-figures for the drama.
