National Paddler - Li Jia Wei To Star In ' Table of Glory 乒乓圆 ' ?

16 November 2008

Will we see Li Jia Wei in a cameo role or even a lead role in Mediacorp Table Tennis Themed Drama Serial - Table of Glory 乒乓圆 next year ? This is the question some may be wondering and asking following reports of our National paddler - Li Jia Wei may be interested in acting !

Table of Glory 乒乓圆 is Mediacorp's third Sports Themed Drama Serial in recent years after - The Champions ( 2004 ) and Beach . Ball .Babes earlier this year . The casts for this New Serial has not been fully confirmed , ( though Joshua Ang of Jack Neo - I Not Stupid " Fame has been confirmed being offered a role in the Serial ) so thus rising speculation that following reports of Jia Wei may be interested in acting that there is a possibility that viewers here may just get to see her appearing in this Chinese Drama Serial !

Although she may be interested in acting , time may just prove to be a deciding and important factor of whether she could take up the role if offered to her . It is understood that Jia Wei is now focused on training for major competitions as well as preparing for the London Olympics in 2012 . If there were to be any developments , it is likely that it will happen only next year .

But Li Jia wei 's personal friend and manager - Ms Nelly Poa was quoted as saying : " Even Jia Wei is keen on acting , it is something that will likely take a while to happen " when approached for an interview by a local newspaper earlier this week .

One particular fan was however quite keen on seeing Jia Wei acting on TV : " I can see her in girl - next - door roles . I think she will do very well . Maybe they should get her to play a table tennis player ! "

So , now , the opportunity is here ... As here we have a Table Tennis Themed Drama Serial in the making and with the cast still not fully confirmed as yet , so Mediacorp , are u listening ? If Jia Wei is really keen on acting , maybe , just maybe ... Jia Wei can try to start her acting career from this Table Tennis Drama Serial onwards , and viewers may just be in for a very pleasant surprise ! We may just get to see her appearing in this new Drama Serial !

But here's the catch : That is , if time and her schedules permit !


Discussion Point :

Everyone has their first time. She should take the role. Anyhow, Mediacorp needs these athletes. They can teach the artistes, too.

I think Li Jia Wei should take up the role.It would be great if she could be a table tennis player in that show as she can act and at the same time play table tennis.If her role is a table tennis player, people will be able to see how good she is and maybe support her in the london olympics. then Li Jia Wei will feel more like a singaporean and be proud of singapore.
