After leaving TVB, Bowie Lam has been doing very well in Mainland. Recently he's been busy shooting for pre-modern drama Two Heroes in Shanghai. He is getting paid over 7 million RMB to shoot the drama. The other day, he was awarded as the "Most Popular Actor" by college students in Shanghai. Surprisingly, Bowie does not just attract housewives, but he even got appreciation by the 'Post-90s' (young people born after 1990).

Yesterday Bowie attended Shanghai's 5th College Student Television Festival and was voted as the "Most Popular Actor" by the local college students. Mr. Roger S. Christiansen, the director of American TV series Friends, was the guest award presenter. This time, the award was based entirely off of the votes by college students and all of them were melted by Bowie in TVB series Every Move You Make.

Although college students see Bowie as an idol, he appeared polite. Some female students couldn't get his autograph, so at the awards ceremony, they kept passing notes to Bowie expressing how much they like him and hope to get his autograph. The friendly Bowie fulfilled all the requests from the female students surrounding him.
