Summarized by kkla of www.nbbbs.com
1. WT is severely over the budget, so Director Cai and his wife have used all their relationships to lower the production fee, like filming in their friends' shops and restaurants.
2. Days ago, the scene of Yan Cheng Xu and Xu An An's picking the wedding gown was filmed at Jia Yong Sui's (an artist in TW) store, C.H.WEDDING.
3. On the day of filming, Jia Yong Sui picked two very beautiful wedding gowns for Xu An An. With the extreme handsome Yan Cheng Xu in tuxedo, Yu Xiao Hui (Director Cai's wife) indicates that WT had immediately changed from a serious drama to an idol drama with fairy tale kind of handsome and beautiful figures.
4. When the WT trailer was shown earlier, tremendous amount of compliments were paid, especially when Wu Meng Da, Dai Li Ren, and Qian De Men competed their acting with each other. WT's broadcast copyright in foreign countries has gone up to US$30,000 per episode. There has been a rumor that Director Cai was invited to direct dramas in Japan. Yesterday, Yu Xiao Hui confirmed, "Director is certainly considering to work overseas."
5. WT's team hopes to finish the filming before Chinese New Year and Fei Xiang will join the team in days. With most actors' contracts being expired, there is a rumor that someone requested to get paid on a daily basis. Yu Xiao Wei always suffers from insomnia due to her high workload. She said, "Director said that there was no right or wrong for filming a drama. There is only success or failure. As long as there are good ratings, people will praise for the decisions and requests made during filming." She fully supports her husband and she also hopes that WT can gain fame and honour for Taiwan's dramas.
