Creating the next big thing
Four established pop idols act as mentors on a talent show looking to nurture a new breed of boy band, Xing Wen reports.
A few years ago Alec Su was a familiar name for Chinese audiences thanks to his many hit TV dramas including My Fair Princess, Romance in the Rain, and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. And in recent years, the Taiwan A-lister has become more widely known as a filmmaker after his directorial debut The Left Ear earned him a nomination for best new director at the 52nd Golden Horse Awards in 2015.
But no matter how versatile Su has been over the past three decades, people still remember that he was once a member of the boy band Little Tigers, or Xiao Hu Dui, after he broke into the entertainment world in 1988 at the age of 15.
