In order to participate in epic drama “Return Home”, Zaizai Zhou Yumin have been diligently learning Taiwanese and Japanese. But fans are worried that since the drama is a Taiwan/ Mainland collaboration, it will be redubbed before airing in China and Zaizai’s efforts will be all wasted. Producer Virginia Liu said “The drama will not be re-dubbed, otherwise we would not have asked Zaizai to work hard learning Japanese and Taiwanese. Fans do not need to worry.”

Virginia Liu said that the dramas that she films always does live recording of the sound and broadcast with the original voice. She has never filmed a drama that is re-dubbed and that is why Zaizai needs to work hard learning the languages. The drama will start filming in Mainland at the end of this month, but the crew has kept the leading actress a secret. Netizens have enthusiastically taken things into their own hands and named that the leading lady candidate may be Ady An, Shu Qi or Yao Cai Ying. According to what is reported (or is known), besides the confirmation of Mainland award-winning actor Wang Xue Qi as part of the main cast, other cast members have not been confirmed.

Zaizai’s manager Zhi Xiang Li said he is not sure if there will be re-dubbing before the drama is broadcast, but during filming they will definitely be doing live recording of the sound. Currently Zaizai is studying the script and getting into the role, and has also been frequently listening to the Japanese recording in MP3 by his language teacher, working hard to learn the script.
