2 countries’ film cross exchange takes place once again; Taiwan version ‘Full House’ will have Wu Zun pair up with mainland China’s first-line actress Zhou Xun, who hasn’t filmed a series in 6 years. Just by the male & female lead’s pay, they have to knock a massive $700,000NT per episode, and the production fees are estimated to be $3million NT per episode. However, this pair is definitely going to attract overseas earnings and it also complies with the government pushing for the idea of cross-exchanging with another country. Hence, ‘Full House’ has been entered on the list of Information Bureau’s High-Definition Television programme, and will be granted $9million.

Yesterday, GTV Deputy Director Lai stressed that this drama is not re-filming Korea’s version of ‘Full House’, but is an adaptation of the Korean manga ‘Full House’. The storyline is not the same as Song Hye-Kyo & Rain’s version. Deputy Director Lai smiled saying: “The original manga did not have a Chinese name, ‘Lang Man Man Wu (Full House) is actually GTV’s original creation.”

The new version of ‘Full House’ follows the highly debated issue of cross-exchanging that Chinese people are currently very concerned about. This drama will be directed by Niu Cheng Zhe, and will film scenes in both Taiwan & China. The story tells of the 2 countries being separated for 60 years; Beijing girl Zhou Xun suddenly receives a notice from Taiwan informing her about her inheritance of her grandfather’s legacy. She then travels all the way to Taiwan, and discovers that her grandfather’s house has been rented out to big celebrity star Wu Zun for filming. Hence, she becomes very cold towards him, but gradually, love blossoms beneath their constant bickering and arguments.

This key ancestral house will be chosen in Taipei’s military family village. This village has become the most interesting topic among producers, and GTV revealed that Taipei government has promised their full support, as this village will be developed into a tourist attraction. After ‘Full House’ broadcasts in China, it is expected to become a hot new selling point for young Chinese visitors who come to Taiwan.


Don't they already have like simling pasta that's just like full house?

wow

its a big good news

i thought smilign pasta was taiwan's veriosn of full house? haha... maybe its just similar storylines..

I thought Smiling Pasta was the Taiwanese version as well... I really don't know what to expect from this drama...

Haha I know right.

I think i'll still watch it to support Wu and see him as the lead.

LOL, i think that most people will only watch this becuase wu zun is in it.. LOL.. well at least they changed the storyline around a bit..

Yea, I guess. Oh so I finished BBF and then i watched the first 2 parts of meteor garden and i realize they have the same plot!!!

ROFL, they're based on the same manga.. taiwan version just changed the title

lol i figured. I was like wow. do you think i should watch meteor garden 2 and meteor rain?

Sure if you liked Meteor Garden. We're drifting off topic...

Anyway, I wonder when they will start filming this.

Oh. Umm well his dad has had health problems lately. Plus he's still filming his mainland movies.

So I think it'll be a couple of months before they start.

his dad has health problems? dont they own a gym?

That's what i said!

Something about old age. Can't remember. It's on one of my other post.

LOL!! they have 2 ro 3 gyms!!! lol.. and chun is soo FIT!!! you'd think that it'd be like like father like son.. or vice versa

Haha we're going off topic you guys.

Anyway. I don't think I've ever seen Zhou Xun act before... have you guys? She looks a bit like Angela and Barbie though.

nope, ive never actually seen her in anyting, like in commercials or modelling with other celebs..

omg if that so it would be so cool i been waiting for Wu Chun new drama since forever haha i cant get enough of it... cant wait

Haha. Jen. You know he has like 2 new movies for mainland china right? You might want to watch those.

She DOES look like Angela!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH no way omg looking forward for it

I know the first one is out. And he's filming the second one.

which one is the first one?? (no clue)

The first mainland drama would be "Butterfly Lovers" which is posted up on Mysoju; the one currently being filmed is called "14 Blades" which I don't know much about.

Anyway... we are somewhat getting off- topic here.

yea i watched that one already and yea we been off topic haha

oh lol i sent the message to you Jennifer. Guess you didn't get it.

14 blades is weird. It's about martial arts and stuff.

There's too many full house things for me. Seems like lots of plots and scenes in other dramas kinda remind me of full house. I wish they would come up with something original.

Also, wouldn't fans of full house be prejudiced against this drama since i mean we watched full house first. I never like the remaking of stuff.

oh yea didnt check that yet sry
