In the drama Zaizai is very "pi" (ruffian/ rascal/ scoundrel), when encounter gunfight, only know how to avoid bullets
He is also very rich, frequently drives a sports car
In critical moments, will also draw a pistol

Under the strength of Director Cai Yue Xun who previously directed high quality idol dramas 'Meteor Garden', 'The Hospital' and others, and through the collaboration with Zhou Yu Min, Chen Yi Han, Zhang Jung Ning and numerous powerful idol actor/actress, "Black & White" started to broadcast this month April 11th in Gong Xi (PTV) channel and at the first broadcast announces a victory with 1.1 ratings. Moreover, Taiwan popular search website SOHU announces that B&W became the top playlist search in Sohu Taiwan, and in Mainland China TUDOU video website B&W was also the No. 1 most watch/ search drama online. Zaizai portrayal as Pizi/ Ruffian for the first time produces strong results and attracted many viewers with 'eyes wide open' .

Were you ever infatuated by Zai Zai's melancholic, warm and good boy image from 'Meteor Garden'? This time, Zai Zai in new drama B&W is going to make us 'drop our eyes glasses', a totally diffrent transformation of him into a frivilous playboy and a rascal, but deep inside, he is actually a righteous, kind-hearted pizi/ ruffian cop. In this drama, Chen Zai Tian's vivid and incisive portrayal became audience most popular dicussion focus. His skillful performance skills made people very impressed and see him in a new light. Do you want to know more about this completely new Zai Zai?

[Zaizai's Black & White]
From the beginning when Zai Zai entered the show business, he already gave people a deep impression with his melancholy image appearance. But what you see on the TV screen may not be true. So in actual fact, what kind of man is Zhou Yu Min? Dir Cai Yue Xun who brought Zai Zai into this entertainment industry has the right to speak. He said "Deep inside Zai Zai actually is not a melancholic prince, everyone have been deceived by him, he is actually a PiZi/ ruffain".That is why Dir Cai specially tailor-made this PiZi role for him in this drama. PiZi YingXiong (English title : Black&White) has a moral lesson behind the story. PiZi is a policeman who is both black and white , a PiZi/ Ruffian who is just one step away from being a Hero.

[Black : Taking a beating more than looking cool]

Zai Zai starts with driving a Porche, living in a big mansion, wearing branded clothes, a heavy spender in the beginning of the drama. Moreover this police officer also likes to flirt around, take liberty with the female suspect, when encounter gun battle legs will starts to be weak, eyes shut when open fire, even the numbers of being beaten is more than being a Hero and beating other people. Zai Zai's ability to "change face" makes audience surprised, when seeing beautiful woman his eyes will glows brightly, his lazy tease also slightly have a gentle intonation, feeling afraid when encountering danger having to express an cowardly expression, and movement fraught with uncertainty and fear, plus his careless appearance. Overall he is one cowardly guy, afraid to die, flirtatious and careless PiZi. Dir Cai said that this is not to undermine/ topple him but is specially tailor-made for him and Zai Zai himself feel 100% confidence with his performance.

[White : The gentle/ refined Zaizai can actual fight and risk his life]

Although careless, he always gets the good merit, the whole body is able to able draw in the hail of bullets, possesses a sharp intuition that ordinary people do not have, exceptional high level of memory and observation power, a high EQ capability and getting non-stop solving clues from some unknown people. Actually PiZi possess the heart of a Hero.

The simple-hearted Pizi do not demand happiness. The wonderful thing is, Zaizai will act 'Pi' (ruffian) when he needs to be 'Pi' and will appear bravely when the times come. In order to achieve higher performance quality, Zai Zai learnt how to use a gun, built up his muscles and did a lot of homework. Seeing Zai Zai running crazily, being tied up high above plus forcing into exploding building .Each of the scene personally completed by himself. Even martial arts instructor Jimmy Hung (son of Sammo Hung) gives respect to Zai Zai for his professional attitudes which left a deep impression in Jimmy's mind. Jimmy explained that especially in fighting scenes where one needs to jump down from high places, the both the elbow must be well protected to avoid injuries. So generally he will suggest that the actor must wear the protection gear to avoid being injured. But Zai Zai actually did not wear the protection gear and risk his life. Jimmy felt touched by Zai Zai's great attitude and performance. He also looked favourably on Zai Zai to pursue the action genre, asking Zai to consider focusing on action roles. Looks like Zai Zai is very determined to seal his pledge of 'I am an actor, not a vase'.

[Uncovering the Ruffian background]

This PiZi has extra-sensory perception.

PiZi Chen Zai Tian because of some kind of mistaken identity, from an ugly looking tramp he undergoes a transformation to become a police officer who avoid bullets, spending his life with his bored intuition. Has an uncertainty identity, driving famous car and owe a big mansion, and every month there will thousands of cash money being credited into his account to meet his heavy expenses. He goes to a convenient store to get a cup of coffee, talks about his unsolve cases and automatically he will get clues to solve the cases.He don't need to do much about work but is called the fast-solving case police officer. He understands that this is the basic qualifications that a police should have, if he stop becoming a policeman he will lose whatever he has now. He is incapable of explaining all this to everyone and even he himself is baffled.
