However, he’s now back to the grind.
“I’ve recently started filming again, and I play a big role [in this upcoming drama]. I’m in 90 per cent of the scenes, together with [Zong] Zijie. I’m busy the entire day — I only got home after 3am last night.”
He revealed that the working title of the 15-episode drama is Zai Jian Ming Tian (or ‘Goodbye Tomorrow’ in English), and he’ll be busy working on it until June or July.
When we asked about the drama’s slated premiere date, Xu Bin let out a huge chuckle.
“This is very important now right?” he said. “I think it will air sometime during the end of the year, but if that’s the case, it’ll be like Kill Sera Sera and air into the next year. So for this year, I might just have Kill Sera Sera lor.”
As for who he thinks should have made the nominee list, Xu Bin said: “I feel as long as people can name them off the top of their heads, they should be nominated. Everyone knows them, and the audience are familiar with seeing their faces on screen.”
For now, Xu Bin will work hard to get his 10th Most Popular trophy and ascend to the ranks of All-Time Favourite Artistes.
With a sigh, he said: “As long I’m still active in the industry, it’s something I want to accomplish. After all, it really wasn’t easy getting to the halfway mark.”
In the meantime, you can show Xu Bin some support by catching in Kill Sera Sera on mewatch, or watch episode one below.
