Following the trend of an increasing number of artists establishing their own production studios, Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝) set up her own production company last year. This allowed her to have greater artistic and professional control over her career, while developing new talent. Cecilia will produce her first mainland TV drama, in which she hand-picked Viann Zhang (張馨予) to star in the project!
Although Viann Zhang was often featured in scandalous online fights with boyfriend, Ron Ng’s (吳卓羲) fans, the sultry 25-year-old’s acting career has gone on the fast track. Aside from the highly anticipated The Patriot Yue Fei <精忠岳飞>, Viann Zhang will be the female lead in Cecilia Cheung’s new drama, Naked Love <裸愛>! The male lead will be Victor Huang <黃維德>. Cecilia will only guest star in the drama, appearing as the “third party” in Viann and Victor’s love.
After partnering in The Lion Roars 2 <河東獅吼Ⅱ>, Cecilia Cheung was impressed by Viann Zhang and felt that her talent can be taken further. Viann’s manger, Jason confirmed that Viann will appear in Naked Love. He said, “Cecilia’s script is very good! Viann truly looks forward to this project!”
In hot demand, Viann Zhang allegedly turned down 4 film offers to star in Cecilia Cheung’s TV drama. Viann was paid a handsome 7-figure fee for the drama.

Jayne: Viann has continued to gain more prominent onscreen opportunities. After The Patriot Yue Fei airs, her stardom should grow even more!
Cecilia Cheung seems to be everywhere in the news these days. Many artists with money has decided to become TV producers in mainland China, where the potential rewards are huge. Smart for Cecilia to pave way for other stars to shine, rather than try to lead in the new TV drama.

She smiles! Yeah!
LOL Funn.
Yeah, cos the “black widow” is goin to strike out soon…LOL
but still looking made of plastic! LOL
Yea, she looks even more plastic in this photo..her nose looks like it is caving down in this picture for some odd reason. Is her plastic wearing out or something??
From the article her career seems to be going places and she is getting hot in demand.
Haven’t seen her act but she must be believable in order for directors/ producers to want her.
Uh oh… Ron’s career is going downhill and hers is rising!
China won’t care about her plastic surgery roots since they’ve got Fan Bing Bing.
Who knows, maybe one day Viann will be as big as Fan Bing Bing! I won’t be surprised.
Quite attractive even if she might have done some plastic stuff to her face….at least she’s a lot more attractive than those fugly TVB so-called fadans with no figure, flat-chested and talk like a bunch of lady-8′s. – “Baat Po”
Attractive? It’s sad that every girl is expected to have a curvy figure and huge chests nowadays. What use to be natural and normal isn’t anymore since everyone started getting plastic surgery or botox and has the perfect body. (that’s if nothing went wrong with the surgery)
Has anyone seen Viann act before? Is she any good?
A little. Not bad. She can show emotions on face.
oh didn’t know her face would move.
Why can’t? She only has plastic surgeries, she dun inject botox to face
. Botox can kill the facial muscles but not plastic surgeries to change face 
.
It look like CC is following Angelina Jolie’s footstep. The nude photos, babies and now directing.
Of all the actresses, why it must be Viann? I guess Cecil was trying to save money.
She paid her quite a bit, but maybe it is still a lot less than if she got others to star in it.
The only movie i watched that have her in it was I love HK 2012 and thought her acting was not that great.
Good on Cecilia! Hope she make it big as a producer.
“Good on Cecilia! Hope she make it big as a producer.”
Not when she gets a plastic actor like this to be the lead.
“Viann was paid a handsome 7-figure fee for the drama.”
The 7-figure fee was way more handsome than Ron. LOLS
i know right? no wonder they all left for china to star in series n films. wow, not bad for a TV series i mean cant compare to the american salaries but it seems compare to TVB, CHINA is the place to go haha.
you know who some people say she looks like fan bing bing, i dont think so.
Now a day most of them look alike because some of them look up plastic surgeon to do the work.
Actually she looks like Cecilia in that photo.
The 45 degree face of Viann looks quite resemble to Fan Bing Bing.
I don’t know to much about the China film industry but I’m sure that the quality will be like China. They don’t make The miniseries like they used to. Does anyone know where I can get the last 20 chapters of the miniseries(The Giant). I watched it on direct tv a while back. At the time direct tv was free in Canada but not anymore.
dont knw a thng abt her except ron ng…
