Ady An Plays Deaf Girl The Pain of Learning Sign Language

FTV’s latest 10pm drama “Track”; this drama will include the strongest cast from 2 continents 3 cities: Vicki Zhao, Lu Yi, Ady An, Lee Wei to perform together, this drama’s main depiction is about car racing, Lee Wei has consecutively filmed 3 dramas that included car racing, but once spoken about speeding he admitted of still being nervous, but able to be at Zhu Hai’s professional racing circuit it is a happy thing. This is Lu Yi’s first time filming this type of subject, so he’s especially excited; this is also going to be Lu Yi and Vicki working together again as the role of an on screen couple, it is also going to be Ady’s first time portraying a deaf female, she has gone through a lot to learn sign language! At the moment Ady is in Hang Zhou filming the new drama “Fight and Love with a Terracotta Warrior”, but plans to return to Taiwan before the Chinese New Years to rest a few days before returning to Hang Zhou to continue filming.

“Track” emphasizes on the career of a race car drivers Lu Yi and Li Wei, and with the double personalities of the modern women Vicki Zhao and the first time portraying as a deaf Ady An, once again cast as a race car driver Lee Wei and the four have a complex love relationship story. Lee Wei says: This will be my 3rd time playing as a race driver, maybe I have a bit more experience than Lu Yi and Vicki, and I’ve already gotten into my role as a race driver, so this time when I’m filming in “Track”, when racing it feels familiar, the whole person feels more relaxed, and when working together again, everyone is very cooperative and easy going also this will be my first drama introduced to the audience of the mainland, so I used a lot of effort to get into the role, the role in the drama is quite pathetic, because Vicki like Lu Yi, Lu Yi likes Vicki, Ady likes Lu Yi, I like Ady, a very complex relationship story, as for the once chased after, I’m always the last one, since “The Legend of Speed I, II” “Track” will be Lee Wei as a racer driver story again. It will be different from the past race driver, Lee Wei this time will be using the international super touring car race track circuit causing Lee Wei who likes car racing to be excited: “This time I’m bringing the mentality of pilgrimage!” The drama “Track” has invited many professional racers to participate in the performance, Lee Wei will also have many dangerous scenes, therefore the drama crew has purchased an insurance for him that’s over million Yuan for protection incase of any accidents, and has also hired an assistant to “look after” him. Actually, because the international track circuit policy, amateur drivers entering the track, must have a professional driver accompanying. So, Lee wee not only will be on the international track showing some moves, by his side will be followed by a professional racer from the start until the end. Lee Wei happily expressed: “To open a professional track, you have to be prepared for life and death; I’m actually looking forward to having a professional racer by my side everyday, my racing skills will for sure improve rapidly!”

Ady in “Track” portrays a deaf female and in the drama will also dance ballet, so I’ve been working hard learning ballet, from not knowing to knowing, when I see myself dancing ballet; I think it’s very beautiful, so I’m very thankful to the director, also I’ve also spent a lot of time on sign language, because of the chance to play a deaf girl it’s really not easy.

Vicki expressed: Anyway I think this drama is different from what I’ve filmed in the past and is different from what I’ve seen in other dramas, because I like to try filming different things, this will be the interesting part of the drama for those that are familiar with me. I’m not familiar with car racing, I’m sure many audience are also similar like me not familiar with car racing, so this will be a new experience for me, a fun thing, car racing and to add love, I think it’s quite exciting, and to be an on screen couple with Lu Yi it’ll be more familiar because they know each other too well.
