Yesterday Nine Continents Film Production from Beijing confirmed this news, the general manager of Nine Continents Du Da Ning said: "Jay Chou especially likes alternative topics, at the time he suggested a lot of views towards this script, he thinks no one has filmed a sci fi fantasy idol drama, so it should be especially attractive."

As to Jay Chou's fee, Du Da Ning said: "He's the producer, the money is easily negotiable." This drama will be filmed in Mainland China and Taiwan.

Due to the fact the news hasn't been made official yet, JVR Music was very low profile towards Jay Chou's venture into idol dramas, agent Zhang Lan Yun conservatively replied: "Jay has always been thinking about filming an idol drama, it's still in discussions, but the initial time frame hasn't been set yet." Regarding the new drama having Nan Quan Mama as the leading stars, Zhang Lan Yun stressed, Jay Chou has always been very caring to people by his side, this point isn't unexpected.
