Modern drama My Talent Neighbour 走起我的天才街坊 is feeling generous today because aside from having a presscon to officially introduce the cast, it also released its first trailer!
Known for his roles in Monster Killer and Siege in Fog, Elvis Han will once again show off his charms, this time as a genius engineer. I love that they did not make him the cliche intelligent guy: aloof and cold-hearted. He does seem serious, yes, but I can see that he’s not devoid of any emotion, in fact, there are cute scenes of him being goofy.
Peng Xiaoran whom you must have seen or heard from her breakout role in Goodbye My Princess plays a headhunter who is very determined, so determined that she even chases Elvis Han’s character while in a cab! Whoa, This girl takes working hard to a whole new level. Elvis Han stuffing a big chunk of bread on his mouth has to be my favorite scene because he looks so adorable!
From the get go, you can already sense that it’s the typical love story that begins with the leads having a cat-dog relationship. But of course, what’s a good romance without an adversary, right? And I guess that’s where Maggie Chen Xinyu fits in as the ex girlfriend who’s trying to win her boyfriend back.
It’s also nice that Peng Xiaoran has a new drama again because the actress admitted that after Goodbye My Princess, she hasn’t filmed anything in almost 2 years and was thinking of going back to her previous job as a host at one point. Lucky for fans, the actress is set on acting as a profession and has this new project in the works.

Why does she have no job in 2 years? She's pretty and A better actress comparing to a few 'permanent' lead actresses.
Well, i like both.. so definitely wait for this one.

So happy that Peng Xiaoran finally has a drama coming out after Goodbye My Princess. Don't understand why she's not getting more work because she's a really beautiful and charming actress. C-entertainment needs to wake up and cast her in more dramas.

Agreed that she needs more roles. She was amazing and so heart wrenching in goodbye my princess!

I think she hasn't gotten much roles being she is under Fan Bing Bing's agency. Peng Xiao Ran was FBB back up plan if something wen't wrong with her career. She got the role in GMP because it was suppose to go to FBB. It's a shame because FBB is a great actress and if she was under a different agency she would probably have a lot more freedom.

I guess it's a problem for a lot of actresses. Dilraba had the same issue where she hadn't filmed anything since The Pillow Book until just now. It also doesn't help that Peng Xiao Ran is (was?) under Fan Bing Bing's agency who was riddled with controversy. I'm glad PXR stayed working as an actress. For a rookie actor, she's incredible. Give her a few more years and I think she could be ones of the best.

I'm really glad to see Peng Xiaoran. I was so impressed by her acting in Goodbye, My Princes and I was very surprised she didn't land an avalanche of roles afterwards.
Sad to read here that her association with FBB stalled her career. I hope she has better luck now and gains more roles because she really is talented compared to a lot of actresses in her age group.
