'Ko's arrest won't affect Tiny Times series'

Fans of actor Kai Ko, who was recently detained by Beijing police for drug abuse, are relieved after his film company said scenes featuring him won't be removed from the upcoming movie Tiny Times 4.

The film series directed by writer-turned-director Guo Jingming is based on his novel by the same name. The first three installments have grossed more than 1 billion yuan ($162.83 million).

Zhang Zhao, CEO of Le Vision Pictures, which produces the Tiny Times series, told local media that they have no plans to drop the actor and hope the movie will convey the right values. Tiny Times 4 is scheduled to premiere in December.
