‘Upgraded’ liao lor…MediaCorp’s 大配角 Ah Zzen 章缜翔 aka ‘Robert Zhang’ – the rapist from ‘The Little Nyonya 小娘惹’ fame has finally risen up the star-ladder to take on the No.1 lead role in a new local drama ‘Priceless Wonder 游戏人生’. No.1 lead roles in local dramas are usually reserved for such Ah-Ge as Christopher Lee, Qi Yu Wu and Tay Ping Hui and it is a refreshing change to use Zzen instead.
Zzen who usually takes on supporting roles here probably did not expect it coming but his time has finally come. In this new drama, Zzen will play someone 自小就跟随父亲到处开赌,耳濡目染之下,很小就会赌博,长大后更成为了职业“博士”,也兼做卜基,头脑精明,有着超强的记忆力,尤其对号码有着过目不忘的本领。身手敏捷,为人风趣幽默,口甜舌滑,很会搞气氛,讲笑话,毫无理财观念,花钱如流水,对母亲非常孝顺,也疼爱弟弟,对第一女主角可说是一见钟情,穷追不舍,知道她非常排斥赌博,而刻意隐瞒自己是“博士”的身份,后来被揭发,愤然提出分手,当发现了自己当年被亲生父母拿来当赌注的身世后…
The last time Zzen was seen here in a near-lead role was ‘天使的烙印’ – a Malaysian drama shown in Singapore and ‘还我情真’(not shown here) but ‘Priceless Wonder 游戏人生’ would be his first time in a Singapore drama to be seriously considered as a No.1 lead actor material in the same league with many other Ah-Ges (在这里‘僧(男主角)多粥少’的情况下。。。机会来的不易)。
Zzen’s best buddies Shaun Chen 陈泓宇 and Zhang Yao Dong 张耀栋 must be feeling very happy for him as both already took on lead roles in the past here but not Zzen…at least not in Singapore…
I read somewhere that Zzen got his double eye-lid done up and he is getting married soon…oh well…this big break has nothing to do with that lah…don’t be superstitious…haha…
