After months of searching, the jasmine-like appearance, outstanding
performing skills and booming popularity of Sun Feifei made
her a strong contender for the lead to in the soon-to-be
produced TV Series The Return of the
Condor Heroes(dir. Shen Diao Xia Lu).
The story,
adapted from the novel by famous martial-arts writer Jin Yong follows the
struggles of the Little Dragon Girl, the role Sun might play.
At first, the producer of the series intended to invite Zhou Xun, who
played Huang Rong in another famous novel by Jin Yong, to play the role of
the Little Dragon Girl.
However, the choice was criticized by both
the TV station and the fans of Mr. Jin Yong, who insisted that Zhou's
appearance and temperament did not make her the right person
for the role.
In fear of losing the favor of the domestic and overseas markets, the
investors and directors were forced to reconsider the actress who would
play the Little Dragon Girl.
After twists and turns, Sun Feifei was
involved into the run of the role together with the other two
competitive candidates, Jiang Qinqin and Liu Yifei.
Sun Feifei, who has years of experience under her belt, but is not yet
widely known to Chinese audiences, graduated from the Beijing Dance
Academy. In a recent soap "Beijing, My Love" co-produced by China and
Korea, she acted as a graceful college student, and won much support
in Korea. The series will screen on CCTV in the coming October.
