Since Myolie Wu was crowned TVB's TV Queen, her career has been sailing smoothly and is even heading into the 'RMB' (Chinese Yuan) surge! According to reliable sources, Myolie has become a favorite of a Mainland boss. Initially she was offered 100,000 RMB per episode to shoot a new series under the company, but after her TV Queen victory, Mainland company 'LaFeng Entertainment' successfully won Myolie over. LaFeng offered Myolie almost doubled, 180,000 RMB per episode (5.4 million RMB for the entire series) to shoot their new series 金玉滿堂 and won the bid in a single attempt. This series is also scheduled to broadcast on the currently most influential Hunan TV. Looks like Myolie can become as popular in Mainland as Startling Step by Step's Kevin Cheng at any time!
Of course Myolie's management, TVB, wants to help their 'daughter' pave a 'gold digging' path. Hunan TV is known to have several hundred million Mainland viewers and many advertisers choose their spokesperson through Hunan TV to help sell their products. Since new series 金玉滿堂 is a path of earning big money, it is expected that TVB will try their best to get Myolie this opportunity. Everything may be going smoothly for Myolie, but because shooting 金玉滿堂 will take up most of her time, it was rumored the Mainland boss is upset since she won't have time to accept any other series.
Reporters contacted Myolie to get the details of the news. Yesterday she responded over the phone: "I have never seen that 'boss' mentioned in the rumor. There is no such thing! In fact, whatever series I shoot is arranged by TVB. (But you will have to be back in TVB to shoot Triumph in the Skies II in May, will you have time?) TVB will help me with the scheduling. Work is my priority, I don't mind suffering a bit!" Myolie anticipates the series broadcasting on Hunan TV because this TV station has their own Mainland market and is a highly influential station. It was said Jade Palace Lock Heart, which was broadcast on Hunan TV earlier, Myolie was invited to participated in that series before, but because she was shooting TVB's Curse of the Royal Harem at the time, she had no time to take part in it. This time, Myolie took a huge detour and finally gets to appear on this TV station after all. Yesterday Myolie expressed she and Hunan TV has a collaborating relationship: "A few years ago, TVB and Hunan TV jointly produced Strictly Come Dancing, I participated in it too. It was a very enjoyable collaboration, so this time, with the series broadcasting on Hunan TV, I anticipate it as well."
