My friend, Dan, has just returned from a holiday in Hong Kong with his wife. Dan told me that while touring Hong Kong on foot, they bumped into a shooting of a drama which stars Kevin Cheng and Yoyo Mung. Dan doesn't know all these Hong Kong celebrities but his wife does and told Dan that these are currently big household names not only in Hong Kong but across Cantonese speaking communities around the world.
Dan wasted no time in taking photos of the shooting. I was surprised that Dan as able to get so close to the set. I thought that with these big stars around, the place would be flooded with fans and there would be some kind of Crowd Control measures taken.
However, Dan said that Hong Kong is just a small country and filming like that are normal occurrences that local people are already used to. Dan also said that the fact that fans could get up close with celebrities allow the stars to create a rapport with them and hence, another opportunity to build an even larger fan base. This in turn drives the popularity of the drama and ratings for the show, which all translate to profit for everyone.
It’s too bad that I am not able to enclose some of Dan’s photos in this post. They are not mine, after all.
