Jingle Ma’s new movie 'Butterfly Lovers’ has been confirmed to have Charlene as their female lead. She has even secretly gone for a costume fitting session.

According to The Sun, the role of Zhu Ying-tai has been a topic of concern after Gillian declined it. And now finally there’s an answer! The role will be acted by Charlene. The movie company already expressed interest in getting Charlene to act as the female lead right from the start, but because her schedule was too tight, the plans fell through in the end, and Gillian was considered for the role instead. But now that Gillian has also turned down the role, and filming for Wind and Cloud has been pushed back due to some preliminary production, so Charlene can finally be confirmed for the role of Zhu Ying-tai, and act out a life-and-death story with Wu Chun, who is acting as Liang Shan-bo.

The reporter sought confirmation from the movie company regarding Charlene's involvement, and the spokesperson said, “Yes! It has already been confirmed! Actually right from the start we wanted Charlene to act.”

Charlene’s manager Mani said, “I was having a huge headache over Charlene’s schedule. I must really thank the crew of Wind and Cloud, for willing to compromise with Charlene’s schedule. Now that Charlene is acting in Butterfly Lovers, she will be in the best shape to act in both movies, and she is excited about the collaboration with Ekin, Aaron and Wu Chun. Hope that there will be sparks between them.”

There were news on the net yesterday that Shawn Yue is unable to act as Ma Wen-cai (A/N: the villain) due to schedule conflicts. And there are also rumours that they are thinking of getting Chris Li or Hu Ge to act in the role. As for the model Angelbaby who openly said that she went for an audition, the spokesperson said, “Actually she was trying out for another role. We thought that she was not bad, but this movie doesn’t suit her. In the future we can have other opportunities to work together.
