Recently, the TV drama "Eternal Love" held a grand press conference in Guangzhou. A reporter asked at the conference why尔Dongsheng favored Chen Kun so much. 尔Dongsheng replied: "One reason is Chen Kun's advantage in music, and another reason is that Chen Kun's change in temperament over the past two years best matches the character in the drama." Originally, the male protagonist Jie from the drama transforms from being melancholic and arrogant to becoming more open-minded under the influence and inspiration of the female protagonist Min. This is the core of the story. And this transformation aligns perfectly with the changes in actor Chen Kun's temperament over the past two years - a few years ago, Chen Kun was known as the 'Melancholy Prince'; now, with his flourishing career, he has become more cheerful and talkative. "So I said that the role of Jie belongs to Chen Kun alone, and the facts have proven that my choice was correct."
Thirteen years ago, the movie "Eternal Love" was known by everyone, and to this day, the famous theme song still exists on KTV song selection charts. This film directed by the renowned Hong Kong director 尔Dongsheng and featuring many Hong Kong stars such as Faye Wong, Liu Qingyun, Liu Jiaying, Feng Baobao, and Qin Pei, was extremely popular in the Hong Kong film industry back then, winning six major awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Supporting Actor.
Thirteen years later, 尔Dongsheng personally adapted the movie "Eternal Love" into a TV series version and cast Chen Kun and Fiona Sit as the leads. Two months after the filming of "Eternal Love," 尔Dongsheng appeared before the media with the entire creative team of the new version of "Eternal Love" and the freshly produced highlights of the series.

尔Dongsheng: The TV Version Isn't So Gloomy
Classics are always destined to be remade. "There were quite a few people who wanted to buy the rights to remake it, but I always felt uneasy without my own involvement." Rather than let others remake it, 尔Dongsheng preferred to personally create a 21st-century TV version of "Eternal Love" thirteen years later. Thirteen years ago, such a story could touch a group of people. But thirteen years later, with the rapid development of the times, people have become increasingly accustomed to the fast-food era, including relationships which have become materialistic and fast-paced. Would watching "Eternal Love" today seem outdated? "We don't have this problem," 尔Dongsheng firmly rejected such doubts, "‘Eternal Love’ is a plot-based drama with a very solid story foundation. We're not telling a story from several years ago; we're presenting a modern ‘Eternal Love,’ where Chen Kun and Fiona Sit portray a contemporary love story. The stories of other characters are the same; they all revolve around human emotions and relationships, representative across any era."
Adapting a movie into a TV series, would there be a phenomenon of "watering down"? "I haven't watched the movie ‘Eternal Love’ for over ten years. Before remaking it, I watched it again and discovered how many ideas I had back then. The movie itself tells an ethical story, expressing the emotions of that time, but there were still many things I wanted to express but couldn't." 尔Dongsheng mentioned that when making the movie, he collected a lot of materials about the lives of people in Temple Street, "I still keep those materials. But when making the movie, I couldn't explain many of the backstory elements. Now I have the opportunity to put these materials to use again, enriching the stories of both the main and supporting characters. For instance, in the TV series, we expand on the prehistory of Min's single-parent family, adding two roles. At the same time, we also explore the emotional entanglements between Min's parents."
This is the first time 尔Dongsheng has taken on the directorial reins of a TV series, and he has done his homework thoroughly. "The audience and viewing space for TV differ. The TV version of ‘Eternal Love’ won't be as gloomy as the movie, giving a little sadness but no need to stir up emotions," "TV dramas have three characteristics: many characters, many events, and lots of dialogue. We hope this script can be refined, avoiding unnecessary words and minimizing watered-down content. We aim for the best. Therefore, even during shooting,
the script is still being revised, and I personally participate in revising many lines. Just hoping that each character in the TV series can speak 'human language.'"
Can the TV version's male and female leads, Chen Kun and Fiona Sit, surpass the performances of Liu Qingyun and Faye Wong from the original movie? "I can only say their personalities resemble the characters in the original movie. Chen Kun himself has a melancholic aura, but adjustments still need to be made. He and Liu Qingyun are completely different types of people, and Fiona Sit and Faye Wong are most alike in their liveliness, yet it's hard to act lively. Whether they can surpass doesn't need to be considered now; let's focus on shooting well."

Chen Kun: Moved Er Dongsheng with Melancholy
Chen Kun moved Er Dongsheng with his melancholy, but at the press conference, Chen Kun was chatting and laughing, showing no signs of having the title of "melancholy young man."
"When I first heard they wanted me to shoot this series, I was really hesitant because the movie version was already a masterpiece, and Liu Qingyun was so great. I was worried if the TV series would be watered down. Later, Er Dongsheng personally came to Beijing to talk to me and assured me that it would be carefully crafted, which eliminated my hesitation. Now that we've shot more than half of it, the director has kept his promises one by one. You could say this is a very exquisite TV series." Many years ago, Chen Kun had seen the movie version of "New Unforgettable Love," but he said his impression wasn't very clear anymore. "I didn't watch it again before shooting to find some feelings. My image is different from Liu Qingyun's. I might appear relatively delicate. If I remember his performance too clearly, it might constrain me. I hope to portray an A Jie that belongs to Chen Kun."
Although not a Hong Kong actor, Chen Kun's performance in this Hong Kong-based story has already satisfied director Er Dongsheng greatly: "Chen Kun is a very good actor who quickly got into the role and reached the state I wanted." Talking about his co-star Fiona Sit, Chen Kun joked that he was initially not used to romancing such a young girl, "And her Mandarin was really bad. She marked the pronunciation with phonetic symbols, while I couldn't understand Cantonese. Initially, it was like 'chickens talking to ducks.' However, later I found she was very hardworking and serious, and I gradually adapted."
That day, Chen Kun's voice was slightly hoarse. Chen Kun revealed that it was due to many scenes in the movie "Door" where he had to shout loudly, damaging his throat. Regarding period dramas, Chen Kun expressed feeling pressured, stating he wouldn't easily take on such roles unless the script and costume were very appealing. However, regarding the online opinion that he suits the role of "Jia Baoyu," Chen Kun showed irritation, "I won't do it, I'm not interested... There's no reason, I just have no interest."
Fiona Sit: A Distance from Min
Thirteen years ago, Er Dongsheng chose Faye Wong to play Min in "New Unforgettable Love," successfully breaking the stereotype of the Miss Hong Kong contestant as someone who could only be loud and funny. Min's strength and optimism, along with her inevitable separation from her lover due to illness, moved audiences through Faye Wong's detailed performance. Thanks to this film, Faye Wong successfully became one of the top actresses at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
After a period of auditioning new talent, Er Dongsheng decided to cast Fiona Sit, with whom he had previously worked on "Premature." Er Dongsheng praised Fiona Sit as "pure, young, able to sing, and popular with the audience," fitting the initial impression Min gave to viewers on screen. In response to Er Dongsheng's affirmation, Fiona Sit felt both excited and nervous, doing extensive preparation before filming. "Because I am too young, I never saw the movie version of "New Unforgettable Love" back then. Producer Fang Ping specially gave it to me to watch, and after watching it, I was deeply moved and wanted to perform the role of Min well. But apart from singing and age being relatively suitable, I think there is still a distance between myself and Min's environment." To experience Min's life and acting in Temple Street, Fiona Sit, who dared not go to Temple Street alone, specially asked her family to drive her there slowly to feel it out. "The director and producer told me that in this drama, I am a girl with strong vitality. Maybe others' stage is in the Red Hall, but as Min, my stage is in Temple Street. But regardless of which stage, I am a girl who loves singing and treats it seriously."
Choosing to play Min, Fiona Sit, still new to acting, cannot avoid comparison with Faye Wong. "I am 15 years younger than Faye Wong, so I think we should have different temperaments. Moreover, when performing, I don't have the time or energy to think about comparing with anyone. This TV series can be said to be very different from my previous film and television performances. Director Er Dongsheng gave me many opportunities to showcase, telling me 'to work hard, perform well, and let the audience see a completely different Fiona Sit.'"
When mentioning Chen Kun beside her, Fiona Sit praised his acting skills and introduced the plot of "New Unforgettable Love" while emphasizing that Chen Kun is a "good person": "My Chinese is poor, so it is difficult to act. Chen Kun understands me and speaks Chinese lines slowly during our scenes, giving me time to adapt."
Character Section
Two New Characters Added to Depict "Unforgettable Love"
In the movie version, Min's biological parents are played by Francis Ng and Eva Yu. Eva Yu, who once acted as Fiona Sit's mother in "Premature," plays the mother role again. Eva Yu said her experience as a singer helped her handle this role more confidently. Min's father, a role expanded in the TV version by Er Dongsheng, is played by Francis Ng, chosen for his proven acting skills. However, Francis Ng, who has not married or had children, was somewhat unsure about suddenly playing the father of a nearly 20-year-old girl.
Additionally, the TV version adds a significant subplot involving older-generation romance: Francis Ng's later wife and the long-time silent boyfriend of Eva Yu, played by seasoned actors Xiao Yi Chen and David Gao. David Gao, who usually plays soldiers and policemen in films and TV dramas, this time portrays a devoted lover. He told reporters, "This character is very kind, silently loving Eva Yu for 20 years and continuously supporting her. Finally, upon seeing Francis Ng return, he automatically gives up, which could be called the older generation's 'unforgettable love.'" Regarding this transformation, he also expressed it as a considerable challenge, "I've never tried playing such a mature man, where deep love isn't expressed with words but with eyes."
