ATV has Bought "Return in Glory" and will Use it Against TVB's "Drive of Life"

TVB will be airing "Drive of life" on July 16th and ATV has responded with a "counter-attack." ATV Deputy CEO has confirmed that they have bought "Return in Glory" and will be airing in this month as to celebrate the return of Hong Kong 10th anniversary. They have changed the name to "The Legend of Hong Kong: Return in Glory." He says he won't deny that they might arrange "Return in Glory" to air at the same time slot as "Drive of Life".

The main leading actor in "Return in Glory" is Adam, China actor Jiao Huang and Taiwanese actress Gui Ya lei. Even China media has high praises for this series than other series. But for Hong Kong viewers, besides the popular Adam Cheng, they are not too familiar with the rest of the casts while "Drive of Life" has a strong cast; therefore, it will be more tiring just to rely on Adam Cheng alone.

ATV Deputy CEO has much confidence in "Return in Glory." He says this is the work of Hong Kong famous scriptwriter Chan Poh Wah and it should be able to attract Hong Kong viewers to enjoy. Besides the "10 years" topics, this is also a series about family, it has warm and emotional feeling in it. He expresses that he will contact the leading actor Adam to help doing promotion for the series and will arrange the casts to appear in Hong Kong to do promotions for "Return in Glory."

The reporter contacted Adam and he expressed that he still has contract with TVB so it's not convenience for him to do promotion for ATV. Adam said he will be going to Beijing in these few days to do promotion for the series. Adam indicated that he had already done his best filming this series. The reporter asked Adam which series will he watch, "Return in Glory" or "Drive of Life?" Adam joked that of course he will give support to himself. "Return in Glory" was filmed in Mandarin, therefore Adam hopes that ATV will find a suitable person to dub his character's voice in Cantonese.
