Earlier this year, Peter Ho told the media that he was planning to make a TV series. As soon as the news came out, many people wondered whether the TV series planned by Peter Ho wanted to buy Japanese comics for adaptation. Or adapt a best-selling movie? The answer was finally revealed today. A few months ago, Peter Ho spent a lot of money to buy the TV rights of the novel Summer of Bubbles, which was published by Ming Xiaoxi, a best-selling novelist in mainland China, in 2006 and has sold as many as 800,000 sets. Peter Ho said: "At the beginning of this year, with the recommendation of my colleagues in the company, I read the novel Summer of Bubbles and was deeply attracted by the plot and characters in the novel! I wanted to buy this novel and adapt it into a TV series. Unexpectedly, it was rejected by Ming Xiaoxi, the author of this novel. Because she is worried that if this novel is made into a TV series, readers who like to read her novels will be unhappy and will rebound. So I and many famous filmmakers and directors who came to her earlier to buy this novel were rejected by her. I was disappointed at that time, but my agent told me that good scripts were very hard to find. So many people are scrambling to buy the copyright of Summer of Bubbles and make it into a TV series, which just shows that Summer of Bubbles is really a hard-to-find good drama in recent years. So I have never given up the desire to buy Summer of Bubbles. After several months of communication and discussion with the author Ming Xiaoxi, I also made a guarantee to shoot good quality with my heart. The author Ming Xiaoxi finally agreed to sell me the TV adaptation rights of Summer of Bubbles. But the author Ming Xiaoxi also told me clearly that the adaptation of this book into a TV series is bound to be under pressure from countless readers who like this novel. ".
It was the first time that I was promoted to be a producer, and it was also the first time that I introduced mainland novels into Taiwan Province Province and made them into TV dramas. Peter Ho is really brave. In order to shoot Japanese and Korean dramas which are popular among Asian idol drama fans, Peter Ho has set the production cost at NT$ 50 million. This can be said to be a very large investment in the current bad drama market environment. Since Peter Ho said that he wanted to find funds to invest in filming, he had to get the support of all parties. In a very short time, filmmakers from Japan, Hongkong and mainland China have called Peter Ho agents to make investments.
In addition, in the creative part, Peter Ho also locked Fenghong Jiang, the director of popular idol dramas such as Meteor Garden 2, Love Aegean Sea and Love Killing Seventeen, as the director of this drama. As for the heroine and the other hero, who will play? Peter Ho said: "I will discuss the heroine with the director before making a decision, but at present, I have heroines such as Lin Jiaxin, Big S, Zhang Junning and Anglenala in my mind! ! As for another hero, it may be played by my good brother Guo Pinchao or Eddie Peng Yuyan Yuxi. " Summer of Bubbles is scheduled to start shooting in mid-February next year.
