TVB drama City of Splendor premieres with focus on power struggles

The TVB drama ‘City of Splendor’ premiered on October 12, centering on a power struggle within the Macau-based Shanglifeng Group. The plot follows the rivalry between brothers Guan Xiaoxian, played by Chilam Cheung, and Guan Xiaojun, played by Ronald Cheng, as they compete for the position of group chairman following their father's decision to step down.

The premiere gained significant online attention due to an intense romantic scene between Chilam Cheung’s character and a media executive played by Chan Siu-wa. Behind-the-scenes footage released by myTV SUPER showed a more lighthearted atmosphere, including instances where the actors broke character and laughed during filming.

Cheung also received praise for his characterization of Guan Xiaoxian, utilizing specific styling choices such as glasses and precise facial expressions to convey the character's calculating and ambitious nature.
