[Press Conference] The Queen's Ploy《诈骗女皇》
Kuala Lumpur, 2023 – Soo Wincci’s original Chinese drama The Queen's Ploy《诈骗女皇》reveals the greed and dark side of human nature. The story revolves around a common market vendor, Xu 许芳华 (played by Soo Wincci), who is a helpful single mother. To assist her friend Liu 刘丽芬 (played by Yise) who fell victim to a scam, she gets involved in a scam that results in her losing her daughter Shen 沈嘉雯 (played by Joey Leong) scholarship fund. In a world filled with greed and deceit, she encounters Chai 博士蔡子博 (played by Jack Lim) and her former friend Shi 石美仪 (played by Shir), ultimately leading her down the path of deception. Meanwhile, Shen’s life takes a turn after meeting the wealthy second-generation Sean (played by Kryston), becoming ensnared in another scam.
"The Queen's Ploy" employs a realistic approach in presenting various scenes, including the marketplace and daily life in the neighborhood, faithfully depicting various fraudulent situations, accidents, leaps, and intense physical confrontations.
Soo Wincci portrays Xu, a single mother, for the first time in the series. She plays the role of a woman who transforms from a kind-hearted market vendor to a ruthless "Queen of Ploy" as the story progresses. Additionally, she has two romantic storylines in the series—one with Chai, portrayed by Jack Lim, where they support each other, and another involving steamy scenes with the younger actor Daniel.
Jack Lim who plays Chai has multiple identities in the series and excels at understanding human nature. He operates behind the scenes, assisting Xu in delving deeper into the world of scams. He also engages in an exciting physical confrontation with Wayne, leading him to exclaim that he couldn't handle it after returning to television dramas following a ten-year hiatus.
Joey Leong takes on the role of Shen, a student striving for education and a better life. She has her childhood friend Ma (played by Jordan) by her side, but due to the desire for quick money, she strays off course, even resorting to selling sensuality for rewards on a live streaming platform. Throughout the series, she crosses paths with Sean, sharing numerous intimate scenes, including Kryston's first on-screen kiss. Shen later faces unfortunate circumstances, enduring various setbacks.
Meanwhile, Shen's father, Li (played by Jacky Kam), is a character with a twisted personality. Beneath the facade of a charitable tycoon, he eventually gets entangled in the scam.
Yise, who plays Xu’s close friend Liu, is a love-stricken woman who adores her husband. Her husband, Ah Yong (played by Jonathan Lee), is a gambling addict who loses their assets in underground gambling, putting a strain on her friendship with Xu. Xu's other friend, Shi, who is married to Marcus, played by Wayne Tang, and they share passionate scenes in the series.
The characters in "The Queen's Ploy" prominently showcase their darker or imperfect sides, with the drama aiming to convey the message to the audience that "greed is the root of deception." While the series does not directly educate viewers on how to guard against scams, it continually reminds everyone that scam techniques are diverse and unpredictable. Therefore, it encourages vigilance and heightened awareness to avoid falling into the depths of deception.
"The Queen's Ploy" consists of a total of 15 episodes and will begin airing on October 6th. It will be broadcast every Friday at 9:30 PM on Astro AEC channel 306 and Astro GO. For more updates on Astro's original Chinese dramas, please follow the official Facebook page of Astro AEC.
The Queen's Ploy《诈骗女皇》记者发布会
苏盈芝的原创中文剧《诈骗女皇》揭示了人性中的贪婪和黑暗面。故事围绕着一个普通的菜市场小贩许芳华(由Wincci苏盈之扮演)展开,她是一个乐于助人的单亲母亲。为了帮助被诈骗的好友刘丽芬(Yise罗忆诗饰),她卷入了一场诈骗,结果失去了女儿沈嘉雯(由梁祖仪饰演)的升学基金。在一个充满贪婪和欺诈的世界中,她结识了博士蔡子博(林德荣饰)、昔日好友石美仪(Shir张嘉汶饰)等人,最终也走上了诈骗的道路。与此同时,沈嘉雯也因遇到富二代Sean(Kryston温杨饰)而改变了生活,陷入了另一个诈骗陷阱。《诈骗女皇》以写实手法呈现各种场景,包括菜市场和邻里生活,还还原了多种欺诈情节、车祸、跳楼和激烈的肉搏战。
苏盈之在剧中首次扮演单亲妈妈角色许芳华,与比她小9岁的Joey梁祖仪扮演母女。她还与好友罗忆诗和张嘉汶一起演好姐妹,随着剧情发展,她的角色从热心助人的菜市场女性变成了心狠手辣的“诈骗女皇”。此外,她在剧中有两段感情线,一段是与林德荣扮演的博士,他们一直互相扶持;另一段是与年轻的小鲜肉Daniel冯玮佺有激烈的床戏。
林德荣在剧中饰演的博士具有多重身份,他善于洞察人性,一直在幕后策划,帮助许芳华深陷诈骗。此外,他还与Wayne唐纬颜有一场精彩的肉搏戏,这是他暌违10年出演电视剧后的感慨。
梁祖仪扮演的沈嘉雯是一个为了升学和生活而努力奋斗的学生,她的青梅竹马志明(Jordan盛天俊饰)一直在保护她。然而,由于追求快钱,她误入歧途,甚至在直播平台上卖弄性感以获取奖金。在剧中,她遇到了温杨扮演的富二代Sean,两人有很多亲密场景,甚至温杨献出了荧幕初吻。沈嘉雯后来遭受了不幸,遇到了多种挫折,而温杨在剧中也扮演了被打击的角色。同时,沈嘉雯的父亲李明浩(甘家旗饰)也是一个性格扭曲的人,在慈善富豪的外表下,最终也卷入了诈骗事件。
罗忆诗在剧中饰演许芳华的密友刘丽芬,她是一个以丈夫为天的恋爱脑女性。她的丈夫阿勇(Jonathan李浩菖饰)是一个嗜赌颓废的人,在剧中输光了家产,导致刘丽芬面临债务问题,考验了她与许芳华的姐妹情谊。许芳华的另一位好友石美仪(张嘉汶饰)与唐纬颜饰演的Marcus是夫妻,两人在剧中也有激情戏。
《诈骗女皇》中的角色个性展示了黑暗或不完美的一面,剧作希望在探讨真实人性的同时,也能传达给观众“贪婪是诈骗的根源”的信息。尽管剧中没有直接教导观众如何防范诈骗,但通过剧情不断提醒大家,诈骗手法千变万化,需要时刻保持警惕和提高反诈意识,以免陷入诈骗的陷阱。
《诈骗女皇》共有15集,于10月6日开始,每周五晚上9时30分在Astro AEC频道306和Astro GO播出。欲了解更多关于Astro中文原创剧的最新消息,请关注Astro AEC官方Facebook专页。
