Raymond Lam, Joel Chan & Aimee Chan dinner reunion ends with Chopstick fight

Saturday, January 24, 2009 Posted by Admin 0 comments
Each year, Raymond Lam takes on the role of "Big Brother" to treat his fellow colleagues to a New Year reunion dinner. Unexpectingly, this year his two "little sisters" Yoyo Mung and Bernice Liu were unable to attend due to work. That night, Raymond ate with newcomer Aimee Chan and good friend Joel Chan. They sat together at the restaurant and had their meal and even had a chopstick fight.

Last year, Raymond Lam was very busy with both of his lines (acting and music), but after going through the last music awards ceremony, his workload this year has temporary ended. As he promised his parents to return to his hometown, Xiamen to spend the New Year, before his departure, he called up a whole group of friends for dinner. Believed that his "little brother and sisters" will jump out to get in line, unfortunately Bernice Liu is in Vancouver filming and Yoyo Mung was also unable to attend because of work. So, he called out good friend Joel Chan to accompany him.

Two Guys, One Girl

The three of them made a special trip to the restaurant and had dishes that were all "ox" related (beef dishes), really was well prepared for the year of the ox. At first the two gentlemen, were very gentle and provided services for their little sister Aimee. As for Aimee, she also was very well mannered to the two gentlemen. However, afterwards because of a piece of beef, the three of them engaged in a "fight". Despite of the many eyes watching them, the two gentlemen did not care and still engaged in a chopstick fight with Aimee. But then Aimee looked up from the sofa at the two men, therefore could not help but give in.

Afterwards, Aimee laughed and said that although each year artistes comes and goes, but the relationship between artistes are always very close. "Every year, we would meet up together for a reunion at the end of the year to chat and maintain the relationship." Although, Yoyo wasn't able to make it this time, but she did call Aimee to chat. She smiled and said: "our family relationship is very good! We even have a nickname for Aimee, called 'Tsui Gil" because she really looks like it!"

Miriam, Niki Chow, Stephy Tang etc attended the recording for Jade Solid Gold show.

Miriam and Real Ting's mother is quite close and was asked if she has thought of visiting her during Chinese new year. She replied, "Will go visitings in a group of friends. I'm close to a lot of mothers, I'm close with Denise Ho's mother too. (Will she shop in the new year bazaar?) Will not go anywhere when there's nothing to do during new year, very dangerous!"

There were reports earlier that she's not renewing her contract with amusic because of bad terms with Leon Lai. Miriam felt a bit helpless, "I've still a long way before my contract expires. This gossip of me and Mr Lai is still common, cause we can't possibly have love rumours!"

Sire Ma has never received flowers from guys before

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Sire Ma will spend the Chinese new year in Hong Kong for the first time. She stated that she has never received any flowers from guys before. Her two good sisters Grace Wong and Sarah Song took her to a florist to learn how to do flowers arrangements. In order for her to feel the Chinese new year romantic atmosphere.

All 3 of them previously entered beauty pageants and left their hometown to work in Hong Kong. They all said that they didn’t have a boyfriend. To avoid spending the Chinese New Year alone they arranged to meet up at a florist. Being surrounded by beautiful flowers, they couldn't help but recall the days when they received flowers.

Sire Ma frankly stated that she had never received flowers from guys before. She hopelessly said "After becoming a Miss Hong Kong, each time I finish doing a function I would receive flowers. However they are not from guys, that is why I will normally give them to my god mother instead." No wonder Sire appeared to be having other thoughts while doing the flower arrangements and needed Grace to give her guidance.

Grace said "I learned how to do Japanese style Flower arrangements. Actually each pot of flowers should have a story behind it. For example; 2 flowers represent an couple and the rest are just observers." Grace is very creative and previously paper folded 50 roses. "Because many of my friends don’t have partners. I think if the person received one paper folded flower during the Yuen Siu Festival (aka Chinese Valentine's Day) they would be very happy. I want to spread the love to all friends around me."

When she arrived she had a pleasant surprise because she ran into many friends. Hu Ge and Wu Zun who collaborated with Ah Sa in Butterfly Lovers/武俠梁祝 were there, the three of them used this opportunity to have a good chat. Since Charlene's duet with JJ Lin, Little Dimples/小酒窩 is very popular in Mainland China, the organizer requested her to sing this song solo. At first Ah Sa was worried because she was not used to singing a solo version, when she performed the audience clapped their hands and sang along with her, as a result it became a chorus song. This year Ah Sa will be busy working in Taiwan and Mainland China, consequently the time she will spend in Hong Kong will be the shortest!

Yoyo Mung goes to Ekin Cheng's place to eat rice cake

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Yesterday Yoyo Mung and Kevin Cheng appeared together at a farm to attend the graduation ceremony of 長者空中進修學院 (School of Elderly Continuing Education), together with the seniors they dug up from the fields some sweet potatoes. Yoyo said with a laugh that compared with the "graduates", her parents are quite lazy and not like boyfriend Ekin Cheng's parents, who took the initiative and has caught up to the trend of playing video games. Yoyo said she yearns for farm life and hopes to be gardening and planting when she grows old.

In addition, Yoyo revealed that earlier when she was at her friend's place cooking she accidentally cut her finger and hurriedly went to the Emergency Room: "When they looked at the wound there wasn't any blood so they just put on a bandage and that cost $700!" Asked if she is busy practicing to become a good wife, Yoyo said: "No, I am allergic to MSG and cooking by myself is more healthy!" As for whether she will go to Ekin's place to 拜年 (bai nian/pay a courtesy call during Chinese New Year), Yoyo cleverly said: "I will try to go to all my friends' place to "bai nian", also I love to eat 年糕 (nian gao/sticky rice cake) and won't be polite at other people's place."

Tavia Yeung – Turned into Lo Lui

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Tavia Yeung, whose popularity rising after Moonlight Resonance, has a lot of news lately because of her popularity. Earlier, it was rumored that she was dating King Of Light Box, Yeung Ji Kiu and he bought a sports car worth HK$400,000 for her. But it seemed that Tavia did not want other peoples to say that she was looking for a rich boyfriend and therefore, clarified that King Of Light box is her sister’s boyfriend. She also used actions to prove that she had no problems in leading an ordinary and simple life.

Recently, Tavia was busy in filming “The Stars Of Love” and they went for outdoor filming at Sham Shui Po last week. The weather was cold on that day and it was only 13 – 14 degrees at 4 pm in the evening. Tavia, who had filmed for more than half day and saw that the weather was cold and everyone was busy until did not have time for tea, planned to buy some food and drinks for everyone.

Tavia walked around for a while and actually there were not many food stalls nearby. But Tavia finally found out a food stall selling hot and spicy fish balls. Tavia did not think much and straightaway bought some dim sum and fish balls. At that time, she met with some “Lo Lui” extreme fans who took her photos numerously. Anyhow, it seemed like “Empress comes out from the palace”. But actually, Tavia is a very down to earth artiste. Not only she let the fans to take her photos generously without anger, but she took the food back herself to the crew and artistes. When they saw the hot and spicy food, of course all the crews fought for the food in such a cold day.

Gigi prefers older men?

Posted by Admin 0 comments
The entertainment industry in Hong Kong has reported that Gigi Lai, 38, who recently left the industry to look after her brother who was injured in an accident, will be getting married on Feb 22 in Sydney, Australia.

The groom-to-be is Mr Ma, 52, a wealthy businessman who is 15 years older than her.

News of her marriage has graced the front pages of local Chinese tabloids and the media has even labelled her as someone who has
always been fond of older men.

According to my paper, Gigi reportedly prefers dating men who are relatively older than her. Her ex-boyfriends include Hong Kong comic king, Tony Wong, who is 21 years older than her, as well as Xu Jing Xiang, who is 9 years her senior.

Ever since her brother was hospitalised, Mr Ma, who is disabled, has provided Gigi with much support both financially and emotionally.

It was during these tough times when he told Gigi: "Stop working. I will look after you for life."

Gigi was so touched by his remark that she decided to give up her career and marry Mr Ma, according to the report in my paper.

Entertainment news reports on the Internet have also mentioned that the wedding, which is to be held next month, will be a simple Christian ceremony but the wedding will not be held in a church.

No celebrities will be invited as Mr Ma has always been someone of low profile.

It has also been said that Gigi and her fiance will be visiting Sydney before the Lunar New Year to have their wedding rings custom made at a jewellery store there.

Gigi has not responded to the media's queries regarding her wedding.

Andy admit that he's wearing a wedding ring

Posted by Admin 0 comments
After the premiere of Look For A Star in Hong Kong, director Andrew Lau brought his cast of Andy Lau, Shu Qi, Denise Ho and Dominic Lam to Guangzhou for promotion as the film will open in the cinema on 26 January. The whole group is delighted, director Andrew exclaimed that he doesn't feel that the film is directed by him after watching the film. Andy and Shu Qi feel that the film reflect realistic love stories, thus the audience will agree to the film. During the press conference, Andy wore a wedding ring on his ring finger, it immediately catches the reporters' attention to question him.

In his earlier promotion in Beijing, Andy exclaimed that if the film managed to collect $3 billion in the box office, he would kiss Shu Qi's co-star in If You Are The One - Ge You allowing him to taste the taste of Shu Qi, because Andy managed to kiss Shu Qi in Look For A Star unlike Ge You in If You Are The One. When reporters asked that other than this clause, will Andy follow Cape No. 7 male lead Van Fan promise of doing a nude swim if the box office exceeded $3 billion. Andy said that the target of $3 billion is very far, he never heard of anyone doing a nude swim, reporters told him that Ethan Ruan did it before. Andy said that if the film really collect $3 billion, he would not do a nude swim, at the most remove another piece of his clothing.

There are three different love stories in Look For A Star, the identities of the three couples are special but they all ended up together. The director used many romantic tactics to present the love stories. When reporter asked Andy if his love story with Shu Qi happened in real life, will he accept her? Andy said: "I'll accept her, but will not be announcing it." Shu Qi said: "There are a lot of such stories in the newspaper nowadays, it's nothing special, many people marry into wealthy families nowadays."

The love life of Andy is still getting the attention from the media. Reporters spotted him wearing a wedding ring on his ring finger, thus he was asked if it's a wedding ring and if he had married secretly. Andy quipped: "This is indeed a wedding ring, I'm not afraid of reporters writing that I'm married because they wrote it even when I'm not wearing a wedding ring. This ring is a prop from the film and it's also sponsored, thus I need to wear it on every promotional activity." Andy added: "I'll need to return to the sponsor every time after wearing it, they are not willing to give it to me." When reporters asked Andy when would he wear his own wedding ring, Andy looked at Shu Qi and said: "No worries, both of us have love in the end, we will not be lonely and alone when we're old." Andy then added: "All of you rest assure, the day of me getting married will come, I will not grow old alone, I'm scared of it."

Although currently both had expressed that they are single, but when talked about the difficulties faced when in love, they both said looking for a place to dine. With regards to all the romantic in the film, Andy expressed that in real life, doing nothing together with your loved one is the real romantic but you might not have the chance throughout your life, thus tried experiencing this sort of romantic in the film. Shu Qi then quipped: "I feel so romantic to be able to do interviews with Andy for the past few days."

At the press conference, Andy revealed that his next film project will be Tsui Hark's Babel Empire as he will be the male lead Di Ren Jie, he exclaimed that he's currently reading the history of Di Ren Jie. In addition, he also revealed that he had read the script of Ning Hao's 'Wu Ren Qu' and he loved it very much as he hope that he will be cast as the male lead but his schedule need to be arranged. Andy even told Shu Qi: "I'll like to be cast in this film, it's really a very special story, I and Ning Hao feel that there is a character that suit you!"

Thursday, January 22, 2009 Posted by Admin 0 comments
Recently there were reports of Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng's one year romance is over because Charmaine felt that Kevin's personality is too boring. Both parties attended TVB Celebration Gala Dinner( 华丽翡翠星力量) on 20th January and were not arranged to appear as a couple anymore. When asked on rumours of a break up, both parties denied.

Kevin Cheng : We are Good Friends

Talking about dating and then now breaking up, Kevin expressed indifference, "I can't stop what people want to write about. I had said before that we are only good friends and it is not possible for friends to break up but only fall apart. But we did not fall apart and are still good friends." Next month, Kevin will be collaberating with Charmaine in a new series, Palace Scheme. Asked if he will be worried of more rumours written about them, he replied, "I'm not worried. Because they will certainly write. The news are so interesting, next month we are collaberating together so they will write that we are back together again already."

Charmaine Sheh : Better to have Rumours than None

Charmaine Sheh just laughed off her break up rumours with Kevin. She expressed that she rarely read tabloid news and regarding the 'break up', she only knew about it when a reporter called her asking about this. When asked if Charmaine feels sick of these rumours, she said, "No. Its worst not to have any rumours!" Even though they are negative news, Charmaine expressed that they will not affect her mood. In new series Palace Scheme, Charmaine's role will be similar to 'Dai Jeung Gam'. She revealed that the similarities between the characters are they have a kind heart and love helping others. She also hopes that this series will be succesful like 'Jewel In The Palace'.

Tavia Yeung - Best Actress

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Unknowingly, Tavia Yeung had entered entertainment industry for 10 years and took part in countless series. Last year she received Best Supporting Actress Award and although the award was not worthy for money, but for Tavia, the award’s meaning was far more than that. That was recognition for her acting ability in this field. Although many of those that entered this industry at around the same time with her had received Best Actress Award, she was satisfied with what she has now. Her objective is to do well oneself. Based on her devotion attitude towards her job, to gain Best Actress Awards is not a hard thing for her.

Loves Challenges

Tavia, who is getting matured nowadays, is humble when she encounters peoples and things. Like 1 day when she received her work notice at 7 am in the morning, finished work at 8 pm and quickly rushed to take photo for magazine cover after that. When asked about her drips and drabs about her works all these year, she felt that she has become more matured. “After I entered this field, I learnt a lot of things. This was because I met a lot of different people in different fields and these will turned me into a more matured person and not the small little girl anymore. Last time I watched people acted in series and now collaborated with them. The feeling was very special. I really appreciated the chances that I had in every series that I took part with. It is a challenge and also a new try for every new series. Although I had only received Best Supporting Actress earlier, but actually it was already a very good report card for me.

Fond of look pretty

Every girl likes to look pretty and Tavia is one of them. When she is free, she will always go shopping to buy clothes and accessories and also make-up products. However, she always felt reluctant to use her beloved stuff. “Recently I bought some Chanel eye shadow with limited edition. I like Chanel spring season’s for color eye shadow because it can do mix and match with any color of clothings. I fell in love with the limited edition of eye shadow when I first saw it. There was nice red and pink color but after I bought it, I still reluctant to use it because I really like it. "

Wet water made Selena Li shivering

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Recently, the weather had been colder, but Selena Li still showed up in a sexy outfit, to film advertisements for a cosmetic products brand in Mainland. During filming, aside from the Tube Dress, she also showed up in a sling outfit as well as in Wet Look, no wonder that due to the cold temperature she was shivering. Afterwards she said: "This time I'm very satisfied with the reward for the advertisement shooting. It's my first advertisement for 2009, meaning a good begin. (This time filming, is it very tough?) Not tough, only it's extremely cold, it's really so cold that my tooth joints became stiff!"

Besides, the advertisement market requests Selena Li to talk in mandarin during shooting, but due to the fact that she had been raised up overseas, her mandarin is so-so, absolutely not fluently, it requires slowly one word for one word talking, which looked very funny.

Edison Chen Back in Obama T-shirt

Posted by Admin 2 comments
Just one year after his public announcement to quit the Hong Kong entertainment industry due to a sex photo scandal, singer-actor Edison Chen has occupied showbiz headlines once again as he sports his fashion brand Clot's latest collection.

Several promotional photos featuring Chen were released recently on the official website of Clot. Although this is the third consecutive year that he has appeared in his own brand's ad campaign, the move has sparked speculations that the bad boy was sounding out public opinion about his return.

The most eye-catching item of the line, a Barack Obama T-shirt which features a five thousand U.S. dollar bill with the new president on its face, is put up for sale on Tuesday with 580-HK-dollar price tag, reported the China News Service.

The pop star, who has been living in the U.S. over the year, has attended a series of unsuccessful Hollywood auditions, the agency quoted sources as saying.

Chen's latest homegrown film, Media Asia's "Snipers", is set to be released in March across Asia. It's quite likely that he will join in the movie's promotional tour in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and South Korea. Commercial performances in Singapore and Malaysia are also under negotiation, Chen's manager said.

In January 2008, photos of Edison Chen caught in sexual acts with various Hong Kong starlets surfaced on the internet and stirred up the whole Chinese speaking world. The scandal nearly forced popular singer-actress Gillian Cheung to stop her showbiz career. At least eight people were arrested for circulating the racy photos on the internet, which violated local anti-porn laws.

Chen, a Canadian national, has refused to return to Hong Kong and will give evidence in a British Columbian Supreme Court next month for the trial of computer technician Sze Ho-chun, 23, accused of downloading and releasing photos from Chen's computer, the South China Morning Post reports.

Jacky Cheung: I've said for over 10 years but no one would listen!

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 Posted by Admin 0 comments
Jacky Cheung ended his one year long vacation and has fully resumed work, his upcoming schedule includes releasing a new album, filming and holding a concert. Concerning not enough unity in the music industry award ceremonies nowadays, Jacky as 歌神/God of Songs felt he is unable to remedy the situation, he lamented: "I've said for over 10 years but no one would listen!"

Yesterday, Jacky was at Hong Kong Disneyland to attend an event named 福到滿城賀金牛, together with Mickey Mouse they beat on a drum to celebrate Chinese New Year approaching, his appearance attracted several hundred people to pack the streets of Main Street USA. Later, together with animation movie Bolt 3D/超級零零狗's main character Bolt and cat Mittens, they wished all visitors an early Happy Chinese New Year, the scene was lively.

After resting for one year to spend time with his family, Jacky declared that he has formally resumed work this year, he said: "I will film a movie in March, at the end of the year there will be a new album and a concert will be held at the end of 2010. (Who is the director of the new movie?) I cannot say yet, it is not a big budget production. (Is the script good?) It will be filmed in Hong Kong, big productions have to be filmed overseas for several months and this is not possible, I just want to satisfy my craving to act."

Jacky has not attended music award ceremonies for many years, the night before last he attended RTHK Chinese Top Ten Gold Songs Awards/十大中文金曲頒獎禮 to support Jik Lam/林夕. About record companies boycotting award ceremonies, Jacky expressed that he has always appealed for one integrated award ceremony, he has suggested this for over 10 years but no one has paid any attention and he feels discouraged. He seriously said: "When I was most influential I couldn't change anything, now even fewer people would listen to me, I feel this is a pity. To make the music industry more vibrant, everyone must unite, to use the award ceremonies as a promotional tool is not good, I hope the overall situation is viewed as more important."

Release Of Album Coincided With TVB Anniversary, Myolie Wu Only Had An Hour Of Sleep

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Last November, Myolie Wu released her debut album, Evolve. Although the results were pretty good and she also won quite a number of newcomer awards at various HK music award ceremonies, she said that filming dramas during the release of her album period made her feel pretty weary.

During the last weekend, Myolie arrived in Singapore to do promotions. When talking about her experience of releasing an album, she said, "Last November and December were the most taxing. Because in November, there were many jobs during the TVB Anniversary period. I also had to do album promotions, and film a drama, Chau Heung Angers Tong Bak Fu. In December, I even went to Macau to hold a mini-concert. So everyday was very busy. I didn't have time to take a decent meal or have adequate sleep. During mealtimes, I need to rehearse for my dance in the TVB Anniversary. As for sleep, I only had an hour."

A self-confessed workaholic, Myolie Wu pointed out that being a singer made her learn many things, "I've always liked singing. This time, from choosing songs, to designing the image, to promotions, all these were very good experiences for me. After all, acting is all about being someone else, while singing is started from myself."

But she also said that there was quite a lot of pressure, "I've been in this industry for 9 years, and left a deep impression of my acting image on everyone. I've never thought that everyone would welcome and accept me as a singer, so this gave me a lot of encouragement."

Since the release of the album, Myolie Wu has not asked about the sales figure, but she said, "The company must have felt that the sales are pretty good, so we're preparing for the next album now. If this album hasn't been selling well, I think the company would not be so silly to invest money into producing albums for me, haha!"

Acting As 'Martial Artist Chau Heung', She Was Being Complimented As Having Talent
Myolie Wu has just finished filming 'Chau Heung Angers Tong Bak Fu' with Moses Chan, Fala Chen and many others. She's acting as Chau Heung, who's adept in martial arts. Having to display martial arts skills in there, she said, "Before the filming started, I did take up some lessons, like the leg kicks etc. I'm quite fond of doing action scenes. Everyone complimented that I have talent and that I'm stylish/cool. I'm very happy."

As for whether she's worried that people will take Gong Li's portrayal of Chau Heung in Stephen Chow's movie to compare with hers, she laughed and said, "She's my idol, and is gorgeous. We can't be compared at all."

So far, there are sources that mention that the WOIL series, after going through the ancient and modern times, will be having the final installment on vampires. Myolie Wu said that she hasn't received confirmed news about this yet, "I've heard of it, but I'm not very sure. Of course I hope for another cooperation, because I feel happy during each cooperation. But have to see if the theme is suitable. I don't wish to film out bad things, and spoil our golden reputation, haha!"

Ten years of sharpening gives todays result- Ron Ng, Sohu Entertainment Magazine January Issue

Posted by Admin 0 comments
At the end of 2008, Ron Ng received a gold medal for being in the industry for 10 years. He wasn’t the most well known the all of the TVB Siu Sings but he managed to get many lead roles for many series. Out of the 5, he is the most calm- cold blooded. Emerging as a siu sing these 10 years has given him a long list of opportunities and has allowed him to really mature.

The Cold Blooded innermost feelings- hardly speaks a word

Unlike others he doesn’t talk, in The Four it definitely raises an eye. It’s the first time the four siu sings have acted together, and the one who has a scar on his face; Ron Ng doesn’t have a lot of time on screen and has the least lines but was able to slightly grab the audience’s attention. “In actual fact, not having to say so much is much easier, the lines are mostly said by the other characters and only having to use my body language to bring out my character is ok la. But in this show every one of us has our own character and stories. When it aired I watched it right through till the end and I thought that it wasn’t bad”.

Cold blooded- in the outside he’s as cold as a fridge but on the inside there is cold internal heat. Even though he has nothing much to say he must make the character appear ‘cool’ therefore examining the characters personality is first priority. Even though he’s played many vigorous youths, Ron actually really likes these kinds of characters. “I actually like these types of characters. Lang Huet is like this, and also in the Brink of Law when I played Tong Yut Jun it was pretty much the same.

10 years- only needs one reason

In 1998 Ron Ng managed to get into the TVB dancing class, the reason was very simple because “before I had only learnt to dance and never learnt to act”. But one day the company asked whether he wanted to join acting class, but his mum said to him “Once you enter the industry, you can never turn back”. Even if his mum didn’t say this, Ron knew that in the industry there would be a lot of worries. At this time Raymond Lam was starting to become more popular, many friends convinced Ron and he had to think for 3 months before he decided.

“At the time I thought that I’d give myself 5 years to give it ago”. But who knew that in the five years he trained and played many minor roles right until the last year when he filmed Triumph in the Skies there was a reason for him to continue on…

“In that series my character was more important. When it aired in Hong Kong I didn’t dare to watch it, but in the end I thought it wasn’t bad. He then realized that filming each series was pretty much the same, one after the other I managed to learn different things from each series I filmed and the different characters I played, it was fun and I could earn money as well”.

After Triumph in the skies, Ron finally managed to have a lead role in Find the light. After these five years, his generation finally started to emerge.

Sohu entertainment (SE): In these ten years as an artist, which series has meant the most to you?

Ron: The first one would be Triumph in the Skies, then Find the light and if there’s one more it has to be Twin of brothers.

SE: Find the Light was your first time as the male lead, what were your feelings like back then?

Ron: Actually in the beginning when they asked me to act in it I didn’t know I was going to be the main lead and until we started filming. When I found out I was really happy. Afterwards I actually realised how nerve racking it could be but at that time I didn’t really think about it that much and I didn’t give myself too much pressure. I never thought of myself as the lead but just a newcomer. The director taught Bosco and I many things; teaching us how to film ancient series, how we had to say our lines, the way we had to use our body language and the way we had to walk.

SE: You’ve filmed many series, which one do you like the most?

Ron: Twin of brothers because this show was really interesting. Raymond and my character in the story was actually like our real personalities except we switched personalities. So we had to rely on each other to film this series. Everyday when we filmed we’d treat each other as our mirror, it was like seeing ourselves. From this series I learnt how to really communicate and act with my partner.

SE: In Twin of Brothers which was your most memorable scene?

Ron: The one where we reveal our butts. In the story there actually wasn’t this scene but the director wanted us to film it. We thought that in Hong Kong they wouldn’t air in but the director said he’d wait to see the outcome. After it came out, on the second day there were complaints. But I actually didn’t think it was that bad because it really suited the series.

SE: Being in TVB for 10 years, what is your biggest feeling?

Ron: Since young I’ve been watching TVB cartoons and I’ve always thought of TVB as a big family. In these 10 years I’ve learnt many things. It doesn’t matter whether it’s thinking about how to film the show, how to portray the character its all part of filming. If it was 8 years ago and I was sitting here and I had to accept an interview like this I probably couldn’t take it. The reporter would speak more than me and I just wouldn’t know what to say.

SE: If you didn’t become an artist, what do you think you’d do?

Ron: I’d probably do something with commercials or design, something more creative, a job which changes a lot.

Maybe what Ron said, If it was that Ron 10 years ago, this interview would just be the reporter asking questions for half an hour. But today the Ron in front of me may not be that fluent with Chinese but he speaks with confidence. He said that this is his conscience- In actual fact in filming a series there is a lot of things you have to learn therefore communicating with others has really influenced his work. No matter if its 10 years later, he’s still the Ron he was 10 years ago, there are some things that will never change. With his own words he describes it as “Theres still that cold blood (lang huet) within me.”
