The drama tells the story of Wen Hui, the news anchor, who struggles with his opponents and struggles with his conscience in order to climb to the position of management, and constantly wanders between powers.
Yesterday, The News Queen hosted a launch conference, and Charmaine Sheh, Kenneth Ma, Selena Li and He Yiting were present to have an immersive interaction with the audience. The leading actors not only deal with the "vicious obstacle" on the red carpet as skillfully as the characters in the play, but also continue the role relationship in the play through interactive games. As a sincere drama jointly launched by Youku and TVB this year, it coincides with the tenth anniversary of Youku’s Hong Kong drama. The Queen of News gathers many powerful actors to tell the story of the news anchor with a dazzling lineup and original Hong Kong style.
Ten years of Youku Hong Kong drama, Charmaine Sheh will take Kenneth Ma to interpret the anchor fight again
The story background of The News Queen is set in SNK-NEWS, the largest news media organization in Hong Kong. Senior anchor Wen Hui Xin (Charmaine Sheh) and Liang Jingren (Kenneth Ma) are equally divided into two factions, competing for the position of chief anchor. The subsequent vacancy of female anchors in prime time at 6: 30 triggered a series of infighting among three female anchors in different periods in the morning, middle and evening: Zhang Jiayan (Selena Li), Xu Shiqing (Gao Haining) and Xu Xiaowei (He Yiting).
Youku Hong Kong drama has been in existence for ten years, and has successively produced high-quality works such as Forensic Pioneer 4-5 series, Sniper of Flying Tigers trilogy, White Strongman 2, Sniper of Overlapping Shadows, Family Glory and Bridge of Sighs. This "News Queen" is also a gathering of Hong Kong stars, which is highly anticipated by the audience. Charmaine Sheh returned to Hong Kong Opera after a lapse of six years, showing Wen Huixin’s ability and strength to the fullest. Kenneth Ma once again cooperated with Charmaine Sheh, playing Liang Jingren, Wen Huixin’s arch-rival, and showed his insidious and shrewd behavior.
Externally, both Wen Huixin’s "Wen Jiajun" and Liang Jingren’s "George Party" adhere to the principle of "grabbing exclusivity, breaking news and grabbing pictures", and show their professional ability and accomplishment when dealing with social breaking news. Inside, in this game and struggle of anchors, some people gradually deviate from their original intentions, and some people always stick to their original intentions. Youku Port Theater aims to explain to the audience the news anchor’s pursuit of facts and the choice of human nature facing the temptation of interests through The News Queen.
A number of unexpected events explain the ability of news anchors, and multiple relationships depict the struggle of human nature.
In the final announcement released by The News Queen today, there have been many cases, such as the explosion of a bus in which passengers grabbed the steering wheel, the fire of a fire sprinkler building blocked by illegal construction, and the death of a rich second-generation drunk and racing car. The orderly presence of everyone reflects the professional ability of the news anchor. And behind the orderly, how do they skillfully deal with unexpected situations and dig deep into the truth behind the scenes? In the single poster released at the same time, everyone’s eyes are either extremely determined, or hidden, or naive, and the gray background behind it indicates that this is a solemn and unmistakable struggle.
On the other hand, Wen Huixin and Liang Jingren are rivals, and they compete for the company’s resources through a series of conspiracies. On top of the two, Mr. Fei, the director of the TV department, intends to add fuel to the flames and take advantage of the fishermen. What are the pros and cons behind this? In addition to the two, Zhang Jiayan, Xu Shiqing and Xu Xiaowei have different characteristics such as professionalism, beauty and scheming, and their relations with Wen Huixin and Liang Jingren are complicated. What kind of struggle will the anchors stage for the benefit? Is there true feelings behind the struggle?
In the background of live news broadcast, it shows the contest between anchors, the tracking of social hotspots and the balance of human conscience. In the end, who will not be moved by interests and stick to their original heart? Who is the final winner in this dilemma? Starting from 18:00 tonight, the TV series "The News Queen" will be broadcast exclusively on the whole network of Youku Port Theater, with 12 episodes in 8 days! A struggle without smoke is about to start!
