Yesterday, Jing Boran of cpop duo BOBO signed with lesser known Taiwanese company, Seed Music for his label. Still, under Hua Yi management, the company’s CEO and founder Wang Zhongjun was there, residing over the proceedings and giving support, showing how important this was. It was a rare appearance, since Wang Zhonglei (the younger Hua Yi brother) usually is the one that usually is present at the company’s press conferences, even for big Hua Yi-produced films like Detective Dee. He brought along with him a symbol of Jing Boran’s contract for appearance the upcoming sequel to “Hot Summer Days”. Fromer costar Angelababy also sent her congratulations.
With Seed Jing Boran has become the labelmate of artists like Taiwan’s Kenji Wu, Landy Wen, and Yao Yao, Malaysia’s Gary Cao,and Korea’s F.Cuz. The music of Seed ranges, but usually the more popular their artist, the better and Jing Boran, is extremely popular. Jing Boran will soon visit Taiwan.
As for the rumors about BOBO breaking up because of this, Wang Zhongjun denied this, saying that they are going solo, but the group is not dissolved. He said, people to need to grow and try new things for a diverse development, and cooperating with Seed would be one way of doing that. Hua Yi Brothers has collaborated with many various companies in its production history such as 21st Century Fox (Hot Summer Days), Lionsgate/Weinstein(The Forbidden Kingdom), Imax (Aftershock)and various other asian companies with great success, so they can be said to have a lot of experience in expanding this way already. Jing Boran will certainly get lots of attention with Seed. Since Wang Zhongjun is the top of Hua Yi ladder, and both boys of BOBO are still Hua Yi artists, fans of the two can only patiently wait to see what this means for the group.
