War of In Laws will have a modern sequel
Ah Jie, Liza Wang, supports Bosco Wong
In 2005, War of In Laws(WOIL), starring Liza Wang, Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu, was extremely popular. It was watched by over 2.5 million viewers. It has been decided to film a modern sequel in June this year. As Bosco is currently filming another series, it is rumoured that he might not be able to participate in this modern version of WOIL. It has also been rumoured that Kenneth Ma might take Bosco's place in the modern version. However, nai nai (mother-in-law) displayed her sassy side and requested to keep the original cast. Ah Jie said, "If we are filming the modern version of WOIL, of course it would be better if we kept the original cast!"
A Happy Son
Rumours would be used to promote the series
War of In Laws peaked at 38 points, averaging around 35 points when it aired in 2005. This enabled WOIL to be the series to received the highest ratings in 2005. Ah Jie, Liza Wang, also received the TVB Best Actress in 2005 for her role in WOIL. As for her son, "But Lau Ming" acted by Bosco Wong and "daughter-in-law" Myolie Wu, their rumours have lasted until today.
According to reliable sources, TVB will be filming a 20 episode modern WOIL. However, it is not confirmed as it is in its early stages of planning. As for Bosco, he is currently filming a 80 episode Jewel Splendor. It is rumoured that Kenneth Ma will be replacing Bosco, but as there was extremely good chemistry between Liza and Bosco in the ancient version, Liza feels that it would be best to use the original cast to keep the original feel. Therefore, TVB has rearranged the shooting schedule for Jewel Splendor in order to allow Bosco to take part in the modern version of WOIL.
With Ah Jie's support, Bosco now has a chance to participate in the modern version, sacrificing Kenneth Ma. Yesterday, reporters called up Liza and Liza said, "Yes, there wil be a modern version, but I don't know anything about my character, you will have to ask the producer." (Is she strongly requesting for Bosco to be included) "Yes, he is going to be in the modern version, using the original cast would be best!" As for Kenneth Ma, "I know there would be a modern version, but I have never heard that they would be asking me to participate in it." (Are you disappointed?) "It is a waste for not being able to participate in every drama." As for Bosco, "I have heard of plans for a modern version, but I don't know the details, there would be a difference if Kenneth Ma is included, but there would be better chemistry if we used the original cast." When asked about his feelings about Liza strongly supporting him, Bosco said, "I really want to thank Liza for caring about me." (Are you worried that there will be more rumours between you and Myolie) "Everyone still remembers the rumours until now, it would be a good selling point."
Daughter-in-law also said, "I have heard that there will be a modern version, but it has not been confirmed. It would be great if the original cast was used, there would be new sparks in the modern version." There is some quotes that this drama would be TVB's ratings secret weapon, Myolie said, "I don't think so, what secret weapon?" When mentioned about Kenneth Ma, Myolie replied, "As a professional actress, I would be able to co-operate with anyone, it is up to the company to arrange for the cast, instead, I'm worried that the audience will not find it exciting, and will be more excited over this compared to rumours."
