Personal life

Fan Xiuming, who has settled down in Beijing, used to work for Hong Kong TVB and knows the operation of Hong Kong TV series like the back of his hand.

Fan Xiuming also made a lot of preparations for filming in the mainland. He said: "I often watch TV plays in the mainland. I find that the pace of mainland plays is very slow and the shooting is very delicate, which is their biggest advantage. The rhythm of Hong Kong TV series is very fast. If you tell a story slowly, the audience will no longer watch TV and go out to pick up girls. However, this is also a disadvantage of Hong Kong TV series. Many stories will skip before they are told properly.
