Few months ago the production studio of Transformers 4 including producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura initiated a Reality TV Show in China to select new actors for Transformers 4. Now, they have selected four artists for the movie after four months (wait-a-minute… Transformers 4, Four Actors, Four Months!?! Oh, I see what they did there!).

"I want everybody to have fun," Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the film's producer who has produced all the Transformers movies, told China.org.cn about the producers' decision to recruit actors through a TV contest aired on the China Movie Channel. "We are always looking for different ways to learn about other cultures. This is a great way to see people's passion and excitement. It allows for everybody to have fun together," he added.

Byron Li, Austin Lin, Candice Zhao, Teresa Daley eventually won the much-coveted movie parts Sunday night on the "'Transformers 4 Chinese Actors Talent Search Reality Show," launched by Paramount Pictures in cooperation with Jiaflix and the China Movie Channel in April. The contest was open to both professional and amateur actors, attracting more than 70,000 contestants.
