Patrick Tang and Joey Meng’s cooperative play [A Taste to Remember] yesterday night started playing, the two and a group of other artistes were doing rehearsel yesterday afternoon.

Patrick expressed that he has invited TVB colleagues to watch his performance, which includes high executives Virginia Lok and Stephen Chen, as for his rumoured girlfriend Selena Li, he has also invited her to come. Although quite a lot of friends has asked Patrick to give them entrance tickets, but even he didn’t have. Therefore he could only tell his friends to buy their own.

Selena Li was well-dressed when she went to watch the play [A Taste to Remember], asked if she supports “family member” Patrick Tang? She explained that it’s Virginia Lok who asked her to come and support. But, Selena admitted that it’s Patrick’s manager who informed her, therefore she has specially beautified her looks. Asked what gift she will give as support for her boyfriend? She said: “I’m not attentive enough, I’ll not give a flower basket. Having beautified myself, I’ll consider that as a man-made flower basket. (Boil soup for Patrick to yun-yat-yun?) No beautify myself as support is enough!”

There were many comments saying that Myolie Wu owes her current status today to being the most obedient person. Certainly, human beings often like to neglect others' hard work; neglect the hard work she once put in for her past roles. For a role, she became mentally-challenged. Also for a role, she put on weight till she weighed 150 pounds......Those whom have seen Myolie Wu will say that she looks a lot more beautiful than what she is on TV. Has lasting appeal, simple-minded, loves to smile, her smiles are very naive-kind. But, she really isn't that beautiful lady on the screen.

I'm Not A Gentle Person; Can't Do Shy Expressions

I live in a house of cats. My beloved 9 cats are the closest to me. They enter in and out of my room freely everyday, keeping one another company. Perhaps it's the influence from so many cats! My character resembles that of a cat. I like how cats can be gentle and refined, yet still be so cool and not adept in interacting with strangers very well. But then, my outer appearance resembles a dog. Perhaps it's because of that, I've some contradicting areas in myself. Cats give people a feeling that they're passive and introverted. Dogs, on the other hand, are always working hard to give out their love. Both of them completely contrast each other. My character is like the cat, but my outer appearance and also my past roles have been resembling more like a dog. I can only explain that I'm just a cat whose outer appearance resembles a dog. And it's a hardworking cat.

If I told anyone that I'm in this industry for 10 years already, everyone will feel that this period has been very long. But if you count by the number of days, it's merely 3000+ days. Time passes very quickly. But then, I don't feel like I've grown old. In the past, I used to count the number of drama serials that I've been in. When I counted till 15-16, I stopped deliberately counting on. Up till today, without me consciously knowing, it's already 30+ drama serials!

On January 2009, I've officially entered the music industry. Actually I've started singing since 19. It's just that for these few years, I've concentrated on acting. Now that I've accumulated some popularity, it's time for me to go out and become a singer. I've released my first album, Evolve. Filming dramas, working on the album, and holding autograph sessions - I was really very busy. Everyday, I'll only have around 2 to 3 hours of sleep. Often, the filming would end around 3am in the early morning, and then at 7am, I need to wake up and carry on filming. I depended on my mental strength to persevere on every day. Being an actress is already very exhausting, but still, I can look forward to completing the filming one day. Now that I look at it, being a singer is even more tiring. There are many events to attend. Most of the time, there are around 5 to 6 interviews to do per day, and still need to spend time practising my singing......But I never regretted. I believe that I will be able to reap what I sowed.

There are many TVB artistes whom are acting and singing as well. Our styles are all very different. I'm the stronger, more independent type of lady, and I enjoy being 'the lady with personality'; Linda Chung is the natural 'jade-girl' and is suitable for the gentle style; Raymond Lam's singing skills has always been good; Bosco Wong is more adept in dancing, and has a good stage charisma; Wong Cho Lam's style is the most obvious - he's very comical. I think that I've gone on the right path, because I'm not a gentle person, and can't do shy expressions either.

The People Whom Like Me Are Those Who Truly Understand Me

Cai Kang Yong (蔡康永) once said, "The television is the most fake object. It uses imaginary life to deceive us, making us falsely-believe that that's our life."

When we grow up, we start to discover that this world is full of deceits. Sometimes, we don't believe; Sometimes, we do, but we still misunderstand. Because we only like bright, beautiful and elegant things. Often, we'll despise those people or things whom do not fit into our own aesthetic standards. In reality, we often spend a very long period of time to understand a person, or an incident. But on the television screen, it's often just the first impression, which we make use of, to accept or reject someone.

For a star, not looking beautiful on-screen is a fatal blemish. My fans are almost as many as those whom dislike me. Many people said that I've a big, fat face; that I can still work as a star with such an ugly look. In the beginning, I'll definitely be upset. Later on, I start to understand. Since I'm already in this industry and I really sincerely love my work, then other than continuing my path forward, there's no other choice left. I like to try out different roles. Hope that the audience will really like me after seeing me in different kinds of roles.

In 2002, I clinched the Most Improved Actress Award. Do everyone still remember what my last sentence was when I was receiving the award on the stage? I said, "I really like acting." Now, I still often recall that particular sentence. Perhaps back then, it was really something coming straight from my heart!

Because of acting, I can go all out. Shave bald, pluck out my tooth, anything. Many female stars are afraid of getting fat. But for acting, I went to put on weight. Every night, I would be having supper. Before I slept, I would eat chocolates and instant noodles......There's no specific target on how much weight to put on, as long as it gave people a feeling that I'm fat. Until much later, when I looked at the reflection of myself in the mirror, I felt very unfamiliar. But, at least my task was accomplished. After filming, I took on the slimming advertisement, so that I could shed off the extra weight as quickly as possible.

The Rumor Isn't Counted; Depend On Myself To Buy A House

Each time when I'm filming, there will be negative news going around. I'm already used to it. Not long ago, there was a rumor that Gallen Lo wanted to teach me about acting, but I put on airs and ignored him. Very weird right? Actually it was because at that time, I said that it was impossible for me to be having any rumors with Gallen Lo, so this kind of news was being spread around. And also, the rumor of Bosco Wong being my boyfriend has always been circulating. We got to know each other when we were filming too. Initially, both of us were not on close terms, and my first impression on him was that he liked to play a lot. In the end, when we interacted during filming, I discovered that both of us could get along well with each other. Gradually, we became more familiar, and would also play together. Having a good relationship is a definite! If not we won't be receiving awards already. If really want to say if there's any possibility, I also can't deny this kind of possibilty. Because in this world, anything can happen. But for now, I haven't thought till that far yet. There's no problem with being in a romance, and neither does the company forbids us from that. But I feel that it won't be possible for someone in the same industry. Because we're too familiar with one another, and thus it will turn out to be uncomfortable.

I can responsibly tell everyone: "Now, I indeed have no boyfriend. I hope that my boyfriend can be taller than me. Have similar interests. And also, must like cats." As for when my marriage will be, I've no idea too. Perhaps in my thirties! I'm not in a hurry. Now there are many matured ladies whom aren't getting married. Furthermore, my family isn't chasing me to get married. So I'm not putting this up on my daily agenda. But, when I see my elder sister's child, I'll have the impulse to have a child. It's once in a lifetime. No matter what, must give birth to one or two to experience. This is the in-born gift of a female. But finding a husband is difficult. For now, there's no such plans yet.

I'm keeping 9 cats, and don't even have any candidates as my husband. So I need to work hard and earn money to buy a big house for myself. I plan to take advantage of the falling property prices and purchase one more unit as an investment. Now, I already have a unit of my own to live in.

Actually, it's very important for modern ladies to manage their finances. I seldom buy stocks. For investments, I'll buy some low-risk funds. I'm very cautious. Every cent that I earn is hard-earned money. So I'm always pretty thrifty. And also, I invest in purchasing red wine. It's guided by a professional. The returns is pretty good. Let me tell a secret to all of you, I've already invested a 6-figure sum, because there must be people whom drink red wine.

Detained by police authorities in Japan for possession of cannabis (marijuana) earlier, Kelvin Kwan returned to Hong Kong last Saturday, March 28th. Yesterday, Kelvin held a press conference to publicly apologize for his marijuana use. With a haggard face, Kelvin uttered “Sorry” five times before the press.

Kelvin announced that the Japanese police have completed investigation of his involvement in the marijuana case. No criminal charges will be pressed. However, the records did not clearly indicate whether the marijuana found at the arrest belonged to Kelvin or his girlfriend, Jill Vidal, thus leaving many questions unanswered.

Kelvin also noted that he will take a long hiatus from the entertainment industry in order to reflect upon his past actions. He hoped that his girlfriend, Jill Vidal, who is currently detained by Japanese authorities, will return to Hong Kong as soon as possible. .

Accompanied by Executive Management, Kelvin Appeared Nervous

At the press conference, Kelvin was accompanied by the Universal Music’s Senior Vice President, a lawyer and seven staff members from his record company. More than 10 security guards were on site to maintain order amidst the presence of over 200 reporters. At 12 noon, Kelvin appeared in a black suit. Solemn and expressionless, he nodded to reporters upon entering.

The conference lasted for 10 minutes and the press was not allowed to ask any questions. The Senior Vice President of Universal Music addressed the press first, followed by Kelvin, who appeared nervous. He kept a tissue in both hands and frequently tinkered with his jacket. While restraining tears, he thanked his family, friends, and girlfriend, Jill Vidal.

No Criminal Record Left in Japan

"I apologize to the Hong Kong media, the public, family members, friends, and fans! Due to my detainment in Japan for the last month, it made a lot of people disappointed and sad. I am very sorry! I was able to come back to Hong Kong a few days ago because the Japanese authorities have completed investigation of my involvement in the case. The police released me and decide not to follow up with any prosecution. I respect the treatment by the Japanese authorities; the whole process was handled impartially. I would also like to thank my Japanese defense counsel, who helped me on this case.”

Becoming a Law-Abiding Citizen

Kelvin added: "During the investigation, I self-examined myself thoroughly. I realized where I was wrong and feel very ashamed and regretful. I am very sorry in disappointing my family and friends, my mentors, fellow Hong Kong artists, fans, and the Hong Kong media. Due to my case, several of my friends were implicated in false reports. My heart is very disturbed as a result of causing unnecessary distress to my friends.”

“After detained in Japan for the last month, I realize the importance of personal character and the value of freedom. Young people would worship and imitate their idols. After this incident, I hope I can educate the young people so that they value the importance of personal conduct and become law-abiding citizens. It is also important to cherish one’s health and life, while staying away from drugs.”

“As a singer and as an adult, I chose to assume full responsibility of my actions. I will become a better person and a singer with responsible character.”

Thinking of Jill With Tears in His Eyes

"I need some time to carefully review and restructure myself, thus I will leave my deeply loved career for a long time. I will complete my responsibilities to society and myself. Through time and concrete actions, I will prove my determination and efforts will make up for past mistakes."

With tears in his eyes, Kelvin said, "I would like to thank my family, mother, father, friends, company, colleagues and fans." Pushing back tears, Kelvin said, "My case made many people disappointed, but you still continue to love me. I am very sorry! As for Jill Vidal, I am sure everyone is very worried about her and hope that she can return to Hong Kong soon and unite with her family." At the mention of Jill, Kelvin paused for a moment to adjust his turbulent emotions.

Closing the conference, Kelvin said, "Finally, I would like to thank you for coming to this press conference, allowing me to thank you and express my remorse. I hope everyone will accept my apology!” Kelvin bowed down at a 90 degree angle for five seconds and then quickly left the meeting hall.

Since resuming work after a 1 year hiatus due to the nude photo scandal, Gillian Chung has faced numerous challenges. Gillian filmed an interview for mainland program "Behind the Story" 《背後的故事》.

Originally, the first part of the program was slated to air on March 29th. However the broadcast date has now been postponed, stirring rumors that the mainland audience was not ready for Gillian’s come-back due to her scandalous photos.

The Hunan Satellite TV explained that the official documents for the program have not been received, thus the air date has been scheduled for April 12th. Due to the lengthy content, the interview will be aired in two separate parts.

The interview focuses mainly on Gillian’s return to work and her feelings towards Twins partner, Charlene Choi. Gillian’s role in "Mei Lan Fang" 《梅蘭芳》was reduced and several other advertisers cancelled their contracts. Perhaps they were afraid that Gillian’s endorsement would affect the brand’s image.

These obstacles made Gillian question whether she could continue on. Gillian distanced herself from other people and no one could find her. She received daily SMS text messages from friends, showing their concern that Gillian might commit suicide. Her friends hoped that she would feel a little happier.

Gillian was most grateful towards Charlene’s unwavering support. Despite Gillian’s photo scandal, Charlene never abandoned her and requested to go solo for her career. Although some fans threatened to boycott Charlene’s CDs if she continued to cooperate with Gillian, Charlene did not change her mind. Charlene told Gillian, "I will wait for you. Please do not give up!" It was through Charlene’s support that Gillian is able to continue on.

Kelly Chan is 5 months pregnant and still working. The other night, she attended an event wearing a Giorgio Armani '09 dress with Swarovski high heel shoes, while carrying a matching Swarovski handbag. She looked absolutely stunning. Her tummy was bulging out, indicating her pregnancy, and her chest looked fuller too.

Kelly told reporters that her high heels were only 2 inches tall and she only wore them for 10 minutes. She would change back to a flatter heel afterwards. The reporter asked Kelly if she was happy that her bra size had increased a "cup". Kelly smiled and replied, "It's normal for the cup size to increase but mine only increased by half a cup size. I am happy with it." Kelly revealed that since her pregnancy, she has put on 12 to 13 pounds in weight and her tummy is getting bigger too. She hasn't named the baby yet as she wants to wait until the baby is born before deciding the name. Kelly said, "When I am having a meal, the baby keeps kicking me. Sometimes, when I pull up my clothes to take a look, the baby would hit me." The reporter said her description was really funny but Kelly replied, "Funny? I am scared, as I don't know when I'm going to get kicked."

Speaking about natural birth, Kelly said that she hasn't seen the doctor yet but she would prefer a painless delivery. She would like to be put to sleep and hopefully the baby is delivered when she wakes up. Kelly hasn't decided if she would have a Caesarean birth yet. She need to find out the best delivery method in terms of post-natal recovery. That also depends on the baby's position during delivery. Reporters asked if she would have her husband around when she is in labor, Kelly replied, "That depends, it's okay if I am awake during labor." Kelly expressed that a mother's love is the greatest. Although Kelly has lactose intolerance, which causes her stomach pains, she still drinks milk. She wants to make sure the baby gets enough calcium and therefore has been drinking 2 glasses of milk each day. She never likes eating fish too but, for the health of the baby, she has started eating them. She has to pinch her nose to swallow the fish.

Laughing Gor's role has been a hit among Netizens, although in the "E.U." finale he reappears again, but it still could not satisfy the viewers, as many of them complained. TVB took this into consideration and will collaborate with Shaw Brothers to bring Laughing Gor onto the big screen. The new film will be directed by Herman Yau and is expected to begin shooting in May. The expected release date is in August 2009.

Michael Tse relied on Laughing Gor to become a hit, yesterday he accepted an interview from "Be My Guest" with Stephen Chan. Stephen gave him 5 gifts, including: fragrence, electronic photo frame, alcohol testing device, a "Laughing" plate made from 68 1997 special edition 5 dollar coins and also the contract for the film "Continuation of Laughing's Destiny 2009" (Laughing命運延續2009). When Michael saw the contract, he covered his mouth and smiled: "today is April 1st wor! (April's Fools)" Stephen Chan then expressed that the contract is real, but Michael requested everyone at the scene to shake hands and autograph it to prove so. The film will be a prequel of Laughing Gor and will also continue on from "E.U." Stephen also welcomes a real undercover to give some advice; As to the other cast members, Stephen said that the film will recruit Movie Stars and that there is a possibility TVB artistes will be cast. Asked about the budget for the Laughing Gor film, will it need to be adjusted? Stephen said: "The budget will be reasonable. It won't be like the budget of a television series though, the budget is personal."

Currently filming for new series "The Pride of My Husband", he originally was going to collaborate in a series with Liza Wang after, but because of the new Laughing Gor film, he had to give up the collaboration with Liza. Towards TVB especially created a film just for him, Michael was very happy and said: "I was really surprised just now because I never thought of shooting the film version. And today is April 1st, it is even more surprising. I thank the audience for loving the character so much. Without their support, there will not be this surprise today." As to how much TVB invested into this film, he feels that it is a rare opportunity, he will try his best to shoot the film, will not disappoint anyone. He said: "But I'm not sure how the story will go, maybe I will take the initiative to contact the director to talk about it. (Do you hope the original cast will be able to make this debut with you?) Of course, but the decision is not mines, will see how TVB arranges it because I don't want to be sharing things that are not my own. (Has the pay been adjusted?) I just found out about the film, the details of the contract, I haven't even looked at yet!"

Michael Miu doesn't care

During the show, he frankly said that there is nothing that he can't say, but when Stephen expressed that he will be asking questions on his career's down times, his love life and even his drunk driving case, he smiled: "I'm starting to sweat!" As to E.U. part 4, will it be filmed? He expressed that the chances are high. As to the reports that the director of "The Pride of My Husband" increased the screen time for him, Michael Miu felt that it was unfair and isn't willing to be Laughing Gor's shadow in the back, so part 4 won't be produced. Michael said: "Michael Miu is not that type of person who cares about these things, because he is just too busy filming, it's not because of the screen time issue." Also, Michael Tse's 5 dollar special edition plate is being placed on TVB.com for bidding, the starting price was $5555.

"Hell's Master Chef" Ella Koon, Kama and Rain Lee were recording for season 2 of "Beautiful Cooking" last night. Ella constantly exclaimed that she wanted to do some "hell-breaking" .

Ella had to cook a Thai styled spicy shrimp dish at the competition and successfully passed the test. But her 'golden bun eggs' were over cooked so much that it had a weird taste to it, the guest judge Roger Kwok, Wayne Lai, Alex Fong and Ronald Cheng made weird faces while trying her food. Roger immediately threw it back up. Although Ronald worked hard on not throwing up, but maybe it was just too disgusting to eat, that he was bursting in tears. In the end, he has to split it all out in the trash can, he laughed: "Hell's 18th floor needs to help you add another two floors!"

Ella's biggest flaw was that she got the wrong assistant - Pan King Chi because the whole night was too busy exchanging phone numbers with the "Beautiful Cooking Angels" that he forgot about his job, Ella laughed: "Cut the stuff la! You stupid head! Cutting for so long and still cutting that piece!" Results, Ella's score was lower, but within the audience, there was one little girl who tried her dish and praised that it "tasted good". Ella was moved when she heard it as she was crying and laughing at the same time, her tears washed out her eyeliner. She explained that its tears of joy, there has not been a person who praised her cooking. She personally felt that her "hell-breaking" was successful. Because the food wasn't entirely cooked before placed on the plate, the judges subtracted 10 points from her, should at least be cooked fully, in the end she only got a score of 6.

When Ella was cooking the spicy shrimps, she was stabbing the shrimp's feces from its back, and Ronald saw this, he said: "Are you stabbing someone's back right now? Or are you trying to curse someone?" Ella was helpless.

As for Rain, she had her mom to teach her, when she was cooking the spicy shrimp, she seem to know what she was doing. When Ronald took a bite, he noticed that the shrimp was not cleaned enough and had a strain of shrimp poo in it: "When the third second comes, need to eat poo! Better be a big one too!"

Kama cooked the 'golden bun eggs" and before Alex even tried it, he gave it a score of 9.5 based on her beauty. It was seen that Kama didn't have enough strength to lift up the flat-bottom wok, Alex immediately rushed over and grabbed her hand to help her. His appearance was quite forceful. As for Ronald, he couldn't stop sweet talking to the female chef judge. He even sat closer to her and when the camera focused on them, he didn't even notice, is he not afraid Charlene Choi might twist his ear?

Tavia Yeung is well known of her acting capabilities and all these while, acting is not a problem for her. However, when talked about singing and doing stage performance, Tavia Yeung immediately said that it was a big difficulty for her. Each time when she was asked to sing live in a show, she will definitely become nervous. Before she appears on stage, she will keep on memorizing the song lyrics again and again. She will even keep trembling all the time. Compared to her relaxed performance in acting, it seems like they are both different people. It is hard to believe that.

Kate performed her new single "讀心術" with 4 dancers. she wore a low cut dress and wasn't afraid of exposing herself.

Her outfit was not as revealing as her MV

The reporter asked why she performed her song live for the first time in a less revealing outfit compared to her MV? She appeared surprised and said "...... It is quite less already, it is quite dangerous to appear too sexy while performing live. When you're filming a MV and expose yourself you can cut those scenes. Wait till I adapt to it first, I can reconsider it." She also stated that dancing can make someone's body figure more prominent and feminine. She will choose to wear more sexy outfits.

Not afraid to be compared to other Fadan's

Kate felt more pressure being a singer than when she competed in Miss Hong Kong. For this performance she lost her appetite however dancing is major exercise and she was able to sleep very well. Yesterday she also suffered from torticollis caused by sleeping and couldn't move her neck to the left side. The reporter asked if she was worried being compared to Myolie Wu and Linda Chung as they have released albums? Kate considers that being compared to is normal. But TVB have arranged them to follow different image paths. Myolie is a rock chick and Linda Chung is a jade girl. As for herself she is a dancing singer.

the last week’s ratings. Last Friday, the last two episodes of “Emergency Unit” were broadcast consecutively, peaking at 41 points and grabbed the top spot in ratings last week. The drama averaged 34 points last week, increasing by 4 points.
Since the audience hoped that Michael Tse’s character, Laughing Gor, would come back to life in “Emergency Unit,” TVB filmed a last minute scene in which Michael’s character appears in police uniform. When Michael’s scene was broadcast at 10:28 PM, the ratings increased to 43 points, thus making “Emergency Unit” the series with the highest ratings in the first quarter of 2009. This illustrates the powerful effect of Laughing Gor.

After the finale of “Emergency Unit” was broadcast, TVB received a total of 10 telephone and e-mail complaints that the ending was unsatisfactory and unrealistic. TVB explained that the series was intended to end a certain way, however there were additional scenes which were added last minute. Due to the necessary scenes involving the police force organization, there was limited time to wrap up the remaining loose ends.

TVB noted that [Michael Tse’s scene] was only a “introduction,” thus suggesting that Part 4 of “The Academy” series will be filmed.

Talking about filming partner, is it better to find a steadfast one, or is it better to find an unsteadfast one? Too steadfast can be boring, but too unsteadfast can be out of hands. In this regard, Tavia and Steven seem to be the just right pair in every respect. Tavia and Steven becomes a couple again, discounting this time, they have acted as a couple twice, however the ending were not that good. This time, the Producer most likely would be compassionate and let these two childhood sweethearts realise the importance of each other in their hearts and then end up together? Even if it is to add cheesy cliché, making this one run after that one to the harbour, that one run after this one to the airport, it is fine, the key point is the pursuance must be successful. Uh, seems like the primary reason for visiting the filming is not here. Usually, wherever Tavia Yeung is present, generally there will be laughters. For example, for “Sweetness in the Salt”, an emotional drama, its costume fitting ceremony day can be as lively as a tea party. Therefore, don’t be concerned of how the script is first, since filming is difficult and tiring, enjoy it anyhow while you can.

Tavia + Michael Tse

Those who have watched Michael Tse in drama would magically develop a good feeling about him and feel that he would be very convincing in whatever characters he acted as, whether he is a warm husband, or an enthralling big brother. However, he is a second line actor. Nevetheless, “Laughing Gor”, who can no longer be compared to the hot-blooded gangster roles in his movie days, still earned him a surprising affection from the neighbours that he met when going to work everyday, because everyone remembered his name and strived to greet him. “Laughing!” others called him, he felt very happy. Therefore, acting as a conventional good person this time will not be anything hard for him. Even though there is a bit exaggeration, from black to white - from a legend to a commoner – Tavia is a bit pitiful in the drama. She was first abandoned by her boyfriend Jack Wu (Jack Wu didn’t get many good roles). Michael Tse is kind-hearted, therefore consoled her. The two slowly developed special feelings. But Michael already has a beautiful girlfriend Mandy Cho. Tavia also has a childhood good buddy Steven. Therefore, a group of people, it will be seen whether their horoscopes match each other! Although the two are the slowly seeping type of couple in the series, the two are fighting friends offscreen. Because their romance cannot be found out by anyone, they date and went shopping together in secret. In a coincidence, one of their colleagues saw them, the secret is consequently revealed. Therefore, the filming of shopping scene today, although it is just one of the scenes but it can serve as another climax in the series. Both Tavia and Michael are people whom are very easy to talk to. Therefore, there is nothing to be afraid that the breaks between the filming will be boring. Both laughed happily. Even though in the series it is a secretive romance, offscreen-wise (because it is in the shopping mall, there are a lot of passers-by) when met with passer-by who want to take photographs of the two of them, they have good understanding of each other and put up a sweet pose for the photographs.

Tavia + Steven

These two know each other too well that they can’t know each other better. It seems like it has been arranged every year, and also as the male and female leads, they also have a lot of interactions onscreen. The two previous series have the difficulty of loving yet must not love, or the difficulty of loving yet unable to be together. This time, all these are not present. It is arranged that they know each other since young and grow up together, starting to have romantic feelings for each other only at the latter half of the series?!

This is wasting too much time? Nothing can be done, the scriptwriter arranged it to be so. It sounds like a piece of three lifetime story. This time is the final entry. Filming with Steven is better, because they know each other well. Meeting someone she knows well, Tavia is more lively, and also has better same understanding, does not need to have a lot of NG and is able to smoothly wrap up the work for the day. Moreover, Steven is serious; he and the Virgo Tavia make a pair of perfect partners at work. There are some people who act relying on natural perception. Perhaps they won’t analyse every sentence of the script. However, Tavia, this lively yet doesn’t lose her steadiness girl, sees the script as very important. Tavia, met with Steven Ma, likes to discuss. Therefore, when they have time during filming, the two will hold the script for a scene and analyse things like whether the script is rational, how the script should be delivered to have a better effect, etc. They collaborated especially well. Besides improving together, the two have long been friends, so taking care of each other is a very reasonable thing. There is one scene where Tavia got wet due to rain. The weather was not very good that day. The temperature in HK calls for the need to wear another layer of thick jacket. Tavia has been poured wet. When filming of the scene ended, although there is an assistant who helped Tavia to wipe, as her partner, Steven, knowing very well that being wet in such a weather is easy to catch cold, initiatively took a towel from an assistant to help Tavia wipe her hair. Uh – this kind of care towards each other is something ought to be, but isn’t Steven afraid that there will be rumours? Or does he really take Tavia as a rumour-repellent?
