Astro Originals Produces the Touching Chinese Family Drama "《兴福茶室》Once Upon A Kopitiam" for Mother's Day and Father's Day

Uriah See Sets Out on a Journey in Search of His Roots; Traditional Tea House Culture Showcases Three Generations of Family Relationships

 


Kuala Lumpur, 2023 - Astro has spent nearly five months creating a special feature for Mother's Day and Father's Day, releasing a new Astro Originals Chinese drama series "《兴福茶室》Once Upon A Kopitiam"! It airs on Astro AEC and Astro Go on 28th April 2023. At the press conference, the series' lead actors, Uriah See, Goh Wee Ping, and Freddie Wong, as well as other cast members, discussed the touching family scenes of three generations of grandfather, son, and grandson. In addition, the crew travelled to several villages in West Malaysia for location shooting, showcasing Malaysia's unique rural scenery and fully demonstrating the Nanyang tea house culture.

 

Astro has been producing original Chinese drama series since last year, including well-received works such as 《深海失物所》, 《姐就是要酱过年》, and the recently concluded 《患者》. The new series "《兴福茶室》Once Upon A Kopitiam" starring Uriah See and Daphne Low, tells a heartwarming family comedy about daily life between family and neighbours. The crew revealed that due to the rainy season during filming, the original goal of finishing before the new year was pushed back until after the new year due to uncontrollable weather conditions.

 

"《兴福茶室》Once Upon A Kopitiam" was produced by Astro and co-produced by Multimedia. The plot revolves around the last remaining old-fashioned tea house, "《兴福茶室》" in the deteriorating village of "兴福新村" which is also on the verge of closing. Graduate student Ah Bing 阿冰 (Uriah See) returns from Canada and travels here on a roots-seeking journey, during which he meets a local girl Ah Shan 阿珊 (Daphne Low). He also re-encounters his unknown grandfather and tea house owner, Boss Xiao 萧老板 (played by Freddie Wong), and learns the truth about his father's journey.

 

The "《兴福茶室》Once Upon A Kopitiam " which was primarily sponsored by OLDTOWN White Coffee, was not only shot in several picturesque villages in West Malaysia, but also rented an old-fashioned Nanyang tea shop on the ground floor for business and the upper floor for living as the main filming location. As the story progressed, a large fire scene was shot on a closed street, with fire departments on standby for safety.

 






"《兴福茶室》Once Upon A Kopitiam" shows viewers various aspects of everyday life in a tea shop. It depicts the colourful lives of villagers as well as the relationships between families, bosses, and employees.

 

Uriah See, who had never met his grandfather in real life or on screen before, was able to experience the grandfather-grandson relationship through his theatrical performance as a special tribute for Parents' Day. The father-son relationship between Goh's Xiao Yuanfeng 萧源丰 and Freddie Wong's Boss Xiao 萧老板 was also a highlight of the show.

 

Starting from 28th April 2023, "《兴福茶室》Once Upon A Kopitiam" a 10-episode series, will air on Astro AEC (Channel 306) and Astro Go every Friday at 9:30 p.m. It can also be viewed in Astro On Demand. For more information on "《兴福茶室》Once Upon A Kopitiam" , visit the Astro本地圈Facebook page.

 

Astro Originals “《兴福茶室》 Once Upon A Kopitiam” 记者会

为庆祝即将到来的双亲节,Astro耗费近5个月的时间制作了全新的中文剧集《兴福茶室》。该剧集于428日在Astro AECAstro Go上首播。主演包括Uriah徐凯、吴维彬和王骏等人。在今天的记者发布会上,他们谈论了祖父、孙子三代之间感人的亲情戏码。为了展现马来西亚独有的乡村美景和南洋茶室文化,剧组还前往西马的多个新村进行了拍摄。

 

自从去年开始拍摄多部原创中文剧以来,Astro已经制作了不少备受好评的作品,如《深海失物所》、《姐就是要酱过年》和最近刚播完的《患者》等。这些剧作生动地展示了本土文化和人文故事。《兴福茶室》由Uriah徐凯和Daphne 刘倩妏等人主演,讲述了日常生活中亲情和邻里之间的故事。相信这是一部能够引起观众共鸣、既有欢笑又有泪水的温馨家庭喜剧。由于在拍摄期间遇到了雨季,原定在新年前结束的拍摄计划不得不因无法控制的天气而延长,直到新年后才顺利杀青。

 

《兴福茶室》AstroMultimedia联合出品,故事围绕在兴福新村这个没落村庄里唯一留存但即将面临结业的老式茶室兴福茶室展开。研究生阿冰(Uriah徐凯饰)从加拿大回国后来到了这里,并展开了一段寻根之旅。在此期间,他结识了当地女孩阿珊(刘倩妏饰),并且与素未谋面的亲爷爷、茶室老板萧(王骏饰)相认,最终也意外地发现了父亲当年游走他乡的真相。

 

《兴福茶室》是OLDTOWN White Coffee主要赞助的电视剧,除了到西马多的美丽乡村取景,还租下了楼下做生意楼上做住宅的传统南洋茶室店面作为主要拍摄场景。后来为了配合剧情,还封街拍摄了一场大火灾场面,并为了安全起见特别安排了消防队待命。剧组在幕后做足了准备,演员们也表现得十分真诚。Uriah徐凯在戏中献上了戏剧荧幕上的初吻和多场出浴戏码;刘倩妏扮演的道地乡村女孩抛开偶像包袱接受阳光的洗礼,唯独在女追男的戏码上让她在戏里戏外都尴尬得想要跳河,十分有趣;老戏骨王骏则直言最难忘的是和儿子相认后却上演了六国大封相的戏码;吴维彬在剧中扮演徐凯的父亲,但在杀青后在社交媒体上自称这将是他的告别之作?!吕爱琼则在剧中饰演一个命运坎坷的角色,她的三个丈夫相继去世,但她却继承了他们的遗产成为了富有的寡妇,最终和王骏扮演的萧老板在一起?

 





《兴福茶室》 这部剧展现了茶室里普通生活的各种状态。除了展示家庭观念、老板和员工之间的关系,观众还可以看到村民们多姿多彩的生活。例如,茶水伙计阿兰(小薇薇饰)因为遭遇不幸而变得更加自卑和顺从,是剧中最悲惨的角色之一。档口老板阿顺(张咏华饰)与萧老板亲如父子,他和患有残疾的妻子阿娇(Mandy 陈谕饰)育有一子,他们再续夫妻缘。云吞面档老板豪叔(曾宏挥饰)在剧中多次与视猪肠粉档老板林姐(庄雪梅饰)如命的对手进行口角,非常精彩!此外,Eric赖宏恩在剧中改变了他的"男神"形象,以"Ah Beng"的造型扮演富二代小蔡,与染了一头金发的EstherApril 周雪婷饰)上演了令人期待的冤家情侣。他们还有跳崖的情节,非常值得期待!

 

作为特别节目庆祝双亲节,徐凯在戏剧中感受到了爷孙之情,因为他从未在生活中见过自己的爷爷。萧源丰由吴维彬饰演,萧老板则由王骏饰演,在剧中他们的父子关系是一个重要的亮点。在剧中,父子之间发生了一些不愉快的事情,导致儿子离家远走他乡,多年后回来后,父子之间仍然不能和睦相处。王骏在这个角色中有很多吵架的戏份,他尝试通过自己的方式来表现这种情绪,并演绎了一种高难度的激动时不流泪的演技,让人深受感动。

 

《兴福茶室》共有10集,从428日开始,每个星期五晚上930分在Astro AEC(频道306)和Astro Go上播出,并且已经在On Demand上架。如需获取更多关于《兴福茶室》的最新消息,请关注Astro本地圈官方Facebook专页
