Da S (Barbie Hsu) and Zai Zai (Vic Zhou)'s old love is always clashing with each other. The new drama, "The Summer of Bubbles"*, that Da S is starring in, is getting ready to start shooting on the 15th of this month. Zai Zai's new series, "Black & White" [T/N: Literally Ruffian Hero], also chose to return to Taiwan on the 15th for promotions. These former loves will run into each other again!

"Da Zai Love" has already collapsed for 1 year now. The subject of the fallout has yet to be resolved. "The Summer of Bubbles", in which Da S and Peter Ho star as the leads, is about to begin shooting with the other actors, including Mainland Chinese actor, Huang XiaoMing. Yet, in the beginning Peter Ho, the producer, had inquired about Zai Zai's schedule. He had wished to put this former couple on screen together again. However, he had to give-up since Zai Zai had already taken on "The Last Night of Madame Chin".

"The Summer of Bubbles" will not be able to bring "Da Zai" together. But, how could one guess that the former loves will be clashing with each other? "The Summer of Bubbles" is Peter Ho's self-produced and self-starring idol drama. He was careful when it came to this. He had already checked the dates and had settled the actors' schedules awhile ago for shooting to start on March 15th. Coincidentally, Zai Zai's new series "Black & White" also scheduled in advance to hold a press conference on the 15th. Even though the two dramas have not yet opposed each other, just this conflict of dates has given the production companies a headache.

Yesterday, Peter Ho's manager Xin ZhiYu stated that Da S had already confirmed the shooting schedule for "The Summer of Bubbles". She will not change the date to avoid the run in. When the director of "Black & White", Cai YueXun, heard about the run in with Da S, he immediately held his head and cried out, "Don't! Can Da S not be mentioned anymore?!" He told everyone to put their attention on the drama and not blur the main focus. Plus, their respective 普拉嘉 Company was still in the process of settling the schedule. The date has not not yet definite. Zai Zai's manager said straight out that Zai Zai has no objections at all to bumping into Da S. An actor's work also includes promoting the show. As long as he can promote the show, nothing else matters.
