TVB's Anniversary Extravaganza dancing part criticised for copying"Step Up 2"

Friday, November 21, 2008 Posted by Admin
TVB's 41st Anniversary Extravaganza was held yesterday evening at Tseung Kwan O TVB City. Over one hundred artistes attended the event. In last year's Anniversary Extravaganza, Wong Cho Lam, Louis Yuen and Johnson Lee portrayed (Fat version Korean Pop King Rain) and (G Cup Jolin Tsai) which made the audience see them in a new light. This year they continued their comedy act, as well as portraying the (Four Golden Flowers), they also portrayed the look of Hor Ma, Sa Yi and Hung Yi while doing a rap song. In the lyrics they were singing about their colleagues, such as rumoured couple Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng. They used the phrase "Charmaine left quick, Kevin is up to something". Afterwards they teased Sonija Kwok by saying "Sonija Kwok's Deep V makes me crazy". They also said "Raymond Lam it will also be you next year". But unfortunately the comedy act wasn't as appealing as last year.

TVB arranged rumoured couples Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu, Raymond Lam, Linda Chung, Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh to pair up. In the part "Unforgettable Golden Love Songs" they held hands while singing old loves songs.

Bill Chan, Wu Fung etc also paired up with older generation couples but it seemed they lacked chemistry and was quite a boring part of the show.

As for best part of the evening, it would be Liza Wang dancing with the young artistes for the part "Street Hot Coffee Rain Dance", dancing Hiphop which attracted the audience. Liza started by doing a pole dance, followed by Kate Tsui, Fala Chen, Nancy Wu, Grace Wong etc wearing short skirts and dancing in a water atmosphere. Despite Michael Tse being a professional he accidently slipped. Afterwards he explained that due to the floor being wet that's why he slipped. But this part of the show was discussed by netizens and criticised for copying the movie (Step Up 2). Even the background music was exactly the same. In addition netizens also mentioned that Liza Wang's dancing was poor, but some said for a 61 year old she was much better than Dodo Cheng who danced in "All Singers For TVB Anniversary Special"

Comedy skit is dissapointing

Each year the show's most interesting part is the comedy skit. This year they have arranged the cast of (Moonlight Resonance), Eric Tsang, Myolie Wu, Charmaine Sheh, Christine Ng to appear in it. But they copied the same idea used in 1988's TVB Anniversary Extravaganza. In that year Stephen Chow, Tony Leung and Carina Lam were casted. Moses Chan cross dressed and portrayed Hung Yi, while throwing cream cakes at each other. Even Ha Yu and Susanna Kwan were covered in cake. Afterwards, Susanna said she didn't mind, most important is that it didn't interfere with her jewerelly. Eric was asked by the reporter about Susanna having a black face, he said "She is very happy, when she was backstage she was still asking who hit her with cake, the anniversary show is like that".

In addition, Sonija Kwok who said she would appear sexy only in the TVB Awards Ceremony, was also the most sexiest Fa Dan with Shirley Yeung on the night.
