Wallace Huo to romance Ni Ni in romcom 28-Year-Old Minor

Now, aren’t they a visually stunning couple? Looks like Wallace Huo isn’t in a rush to make a drama comeback as he just attended the opening ceremony for a new movie today. Chinese title 28岁未成年 which can be translated into 28-Year-Old Minor. I just find it funny that you guys were fiercely discussing about the concept of connections in the entertainment world and then we have this movie right after. Based on a novel of the same name, the director is Zhang Mo and she’s…. famous director Zhang Yi Mou‘s daughter. He has directed great hits like Under the Hawthorn Tree, House of Flying Daggers, and the upcoming The Great Wall. He’ll be playing the role of a producer in his daughter’s directorial debut.

My opinion of this matter… connections help get your foot in the door, but how long your foot can stay in that door depends on your talents.
