Today's conversation: Myolie went on the radio station to promote her new song "Love Delusion". When her love life was mentioned in the interview, she expressed that her first relationship was when she was in Year 2. She was schooling overseas then. She had a crush on her senior and took the initiative. There is a Master (Master So) who predicted that if Myolie takes the initiative and woo Bosco, both of them can get married. Asked if Myolie will then take the initiative and woo Bosco, she laughed out out: "Will!" Original Text: "One Master pointed out that Myolie and Bosco will get married one after another, Bosco will get married between 2014 to 2015, while Myolie will get married between 2012 to 2013, But if Myolie takes the initiative and chase Bosco to get married, both of them have the chance to get married. I asked Myolie: "Will you chase Bosco?" She said: "Will, In 2012, i will ask the company to film a drama, writing that Bosco and i get married, and it will be released in 2013. Hence, i will marry him in 2012 and 2013. Then in 2014, film a sequel, talking about me chasing Bosco, and having the ending that both of us get married, which will be released in 2015. Thus, fulfilling everything the Master says." Myolie said that she has ever took the initiative before: "When i was 16 and schooling overseas, i met a 21 year old senior. He is very handsome. I specially waited for his birthday so that i can give him a card and express my feelings to him. But he has no reaction." Myolie is a rational person, but when come to love, she can be irrational too: "Last time, i will experience love at first sight, after dating, i will start to rationally think if the person is really suitable for me, But now, i will slowly hang out with him, knowing him deeper, analyzing our characters, feeling if it is suitable then date, but i can't guarantee that while dating, i can remain clear and alert."

Myolie's ideal partner is...his looks cannot be too ugly, taller than her, same interests, but having financial stability is not that important.

"Do you think that Bosco's looks is perfect? If he is going for plastic surgery, what will you suggest?" I suddenly asked. "His nose is a bit crooked, if want to do plastic surgery, just do his nose will do." See, Myolie knows Bosco very well.

Charmaine Sheh was rumored to be the third person causing Kevin Cheng and Niki Chow to break up. Niki accepted an interview in the Metro City and she was given "Four treasures-Eager to be married" (恨嫁四寶), which includes eye lotion, and a book called "How to watch out for villians" so that she learns how to watch out for her future husband in case he cheats on her. When Niki got the book, she said, "He better not cheat on me."

Speaking about a media report that Mr.Cheng, an artist had called a prostitute home and everybody thought that it was Ronald Cheng. Niki coughed and said, "There is no proof, but as an artist, we should pay attention to our behavior. If what the report said is true, then it would affect our image as we are in the public eye." Niki has worked with Ronald in "Feel 100%". The reporter asked if she is very close to him. She replied, "Ah Sa and I are good friend, but I don't interfere with his private life."

Niki changed the subject as she didn't want to continue talking about Ronald. She started talking about "Beautiful Kitchen", was asked if she was worried that Kevin would be one of the judges, and replied, "No, I will appear with my sister. In fact, we mucked about in the programme. Last time, we cooked a cactus and it was difficult. I am afraid to cook things with shells. (Are you going to ask Ronald if he called the prostitute?)No, I haven't read the news."

The reporter asked Niki if she had 'Villains' around her. Niki said, "I have a lot of good people around me, therefore those bad ones dare not come near me." Niki went on to say that, as an artist in the entertainment industry and in the public eye, there is bound to be a lot of gossip. Therefore, she needs to learn to protect herself. Niki was asked that, if she was the subject of a smear campaign, what would she do? She reckoned that it's about time she practices her EQ (Emotional Quotient) since she has very high EQ anyway. Since Niki started her career in the entertainment industry, she has made a lot of improvement.

But Linda seems to be having difficulties trying to be satisfied with the "cute" style, she said: "Nope, acting cute is okay too, the series is a comedy.

Linda was asked about the "Modern HK Girl" character traits? She said: "I am a person who doesn't want to marry a rich person, but also don't want to be a Princess. When I eat, I'm adapted to split the bill equally with others, so I will have to watch other films to steal some tips from them.

Kevin and Charmaine took this opportunity to rest, the two were in the same room and did not have much contact, but they also fulfilled reporters requests of having pictures taken together.

As to the magazine reports saying that Charmaine and Kevin were having a private dinner, Charmaine did not have any more breath to express: "That night, Kiki Sheung was there with us. We don't have much response to this little story. (Avoiding more now?) No, I won't especially avoid anything." Also there was another magazine that said when Charmaine was in Thailand, she donated 'coffin' for a wish to have some change in luck? Charmaine expressed that she had not left Hong Kong in the past few months, hopefully the rumors aren't going over the line."

Asked if he'll feel relieved after "Beyond" finishes filming? Kevin expressed: "Yes, but it's not related to the rumors, I already expected rumors before filming the series.

TVB’s “Rosy Business” 《巾幗梟雄》has continued to rise in ratings. The ratings for Monday, May 18th achieved 37 points. Last night, the main cast members treated the crew to a celebration dinner.

Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung once promised that he will treat the cast and crew to a separate dinner on his own. “The cast treated the crew for tonight’s dinner. Since everyone pitches in the same amount, there is no need for one person to fight to pay the entire bill. Everyone is happy. It is not important whether we treat or not. The most important thing is that we watch the final episode at the shopping mall together with the audience. The atmosphere will be very exciting!"

One tabloid magazine published photo stills from “Rosy Business,” pointing out the appearance of modern high-rise buildings in the background. Wayne said, "The stills showcase a different viewpoint. These buildings should not appear onscreen in the background. If they truly do, I hope everyone is understanding of the mistake."

Sheren Tang Shui Man suggested to TVB executive, Stephen Chan, to organize a dinner at a shopping mall. Sheren laughed, "Many thanks to the audience for vigorously discussing ‘Rosy Business.’ Thus it is our turn to do something in return. If it is possible, it would be great for the dinner proceeds to go to charity. To suit my character’s role in ‘Rosy Business,’ perhaps we can have a rice feast!"

Sheren was confident that the ratings for the finale of “Rosy Business” will rise beyond 40 points, proving the power of a strong cast. “In the future, actresses should not be afraid of filming before a high-definition camera. If own possesses strong acting skills, that would suffice."

Nancy Wu Ting Yan was happy she acted in “Rosy Business.” Nancy said, “Originally, Claire Yiu Ka Lei was cast in the role. However, she became pregnant and thus I took on the role.” Nancy was unconcerned that her role will peg her as an evil women in the audience’s mind.

Asked whether Bosco feared he will lose Myolie to another man, Bosco joked, "I do not know how to answer. Right now, money is the most important. In order to get married, hold a banquet and buy a ring, money is necessary.” Bosco’s goal is to have at least seven figures in savings before getting married.

Bosco has been busy filming “A Picking Star of Adventure” in China and returned to Hong Kong for the guest appearance on 《星星同學會》.

The day before, Mandy Cho Man Lei and Michael Tse Tin Wah were shooting an outdoor scene for “Oh, My Darling” 《老公萬歲》. Mandy and Michael shared a kiss in the series.

Mandy told reporters that Michael had suggested to the Director to add a long kiss on the lips (the script originally described a short kiss on the cheeks for Mandy and Michael). Many newspapers reported that Mandy allegedly called Michael a ‘Pervert Kisser.’

Mandy clarified to the press that she did not call Michael a ‘Pervert Kisser.’ Instead, Mandy said that Michael was a gentleman.

Mandy said she was only attempting to describe the script to the reporters: "Why would I call a friend a ‘Pervert Kisser?’ Michael and I have collaborated on numerous occasions in the past. Michael is quite a gentleman.”

Although Michael’s popularity has soared recently due to his “Laughing Gor” character in “Emergency Unit,” Mandy did not want to use the recent rumor for publicity. She will call Michael and explain to him at a later time.

Raymond Lam Fung will be holding his first concert in June. Since he has been filming TVB series, “A Pick Star of Adventure” in China, he has been unable to set aside time to rehearse for his concert.

The day before, Raymond returned to Hong Kong for interviews with Commercial Radio and Metro Radio. While in mainland, Raymond has been practicing for his concert during filming breaks. Due to filming obligations, he may have only two weeks to rehearse for his concert. This has caused Raymond immense pressure and he plans to take several days off to rest right after his concert performance.

To prepare for the concert, Raymond runs everyday. But he did not purposely lose weight nor go on a special diet. He eats rice noodles and his mother’s home-made soups to boost his energy levels. In the industry for 10 years, this will be Raymond’s first concert series.

When TVB executive, Virginia Lok, notified Raymond that he will be performing at the Hong Kong Coliseum, he was joyously surprised. "When I heard that I will be holding a mini-concert, I was elated and dumbstruck for a long moment.” It is every singer’s dream to perform at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

Due to the numerous contraptions of the stage design, was Raymond concerned that he will get hurt? Since Raymond will be rehearsing for the concert, he was unconcerned. Raymond’s concert will feature guest stars Charlene Choi, Vincy Chan and Michael Tse Tin Wah.

Will Raymond’s rumored girlfriend, Linda Chung Ka Yan also attend? "I’m not sure. Linda is currently filming a series.” Raymond’s utmost desire was to invite his idol, Jacky Cheung Hok Yau but he does not have Jacky’s phone number. If Jacky were to attend the concert, Raymond will be very nervous. In addition, various kindergarten and primary school students will be performing at Raymond’s concert.

Yesterday TVB laid off more than a 100 employees again, and has become another topic of discussion in the entertainment circle. Jessica Hsuan expressed: "Actually earlier TVB already lost a lot of employees, for example when we go out to the location for filming, when we get into the car, there is no one to lead us. Although the affect is not significant, but I only hope that everyone will have a job, but there is often rumors of employees being laid off, therefore during filming the atmosphere is often not very happy."

Steven Ma only said that he knew a bunch of the employees that goes out with them on location during filming for 10+ years. He is very sad to hear the news. As an artist, he also can't do anything about the decision, he only hopes that TVB could open up new positions and could make alternative considerations for the colleagues. Carol Cheng, Angela Tong and Sharon Chan also expressed the same feelings when they heard about the news, they felt unhappy. They hope that the employee lay off could stop soon, in TVB for 30 years, Carol described her feelings as "my heart does not feel good". But Sharon said that she has to respect TVB's decision because there is a reason to the decision.

Jessica Hsuan was filming for an injury scene from a fire explosion, but was not wounded, it was more like a comedic explosion. Michael Tao who was the hero that saved the beauty was injured when a wooden strip stabbed into his back, but it was a very funny "injury"!

Jessica and Michael was filming in Sai Kung for new series "Pearl in the Palm", in a scene with fire explosion, the scene talked about them going to a broken house to pay ransom, but it turns out to be a bomb trap. The bomb was planted beforehand. Because Michael was trying to save Jessica, he had a wooden stick stabbed into his back bone and will be tragically paralyzed thereafter.

Before filming, the workers took all the safety precautions, but Jessica still was injured! When she was filming the scene with Michael, during the part where the wooden box fell onto the ground, the props for the bomb burnt the edge of Jessica's foot, she screamed in pain. Her ankle quickly became swollen! Since the scene requires it, Michael had to tie the wooden stick on himself, he saw himself with the stick tied, he could not help but laugh: "No need to tie it! I can hold onto it myself!" The whole scene was very funny.

"Pearl in the Palm" will finish filming at the end of this month, Michael revealed that there's still a fire burning scene that needs to be filmed. Jessica expressed that after this series, she will be taking a "summer break", she said: "Last year I already said I would take it, but Bobby Au Yeung told me to participate in 'A Pillow Case of Mystery II', so I did! This year I'm not gonna film anymore! Actually I arranged a trip with my old classmates, but because of the news on H1N1 Influenza, I am a little disappointed! Because the old classmates brought their kids along too, we planned it all and now I'm not even sure if there will be another chance to make the trip work out!"

Singer Shirley Kwan made it clear that Eric Tsang is not her son's real father. Yesterday Eric attended a public event and discussed about the matter. He said "I am used to the rumors now because it's been going on for so many years. Everytime there is a rumor about it Shirley will call me to apologise as she feels very uncomfortable. I really don't mind, in fact I think it's quite funny. Even my youngest daughter couldn't resist to ask Bowie Tsang (Older sister) why she didn't know that they had a 8 year old younger brother?"

Eric has never seen Shirley's son before. He joked that if he sees him one day he will need to take pictures with him. "It's sad to see the little boy get teased at school about it, calling him "Super Trio's" son. Now the truth has finally been revealed." The reporter asked Eric whether he would become his god father? He admitted that he was considering the idea but will not take on such actions during such a sensitive time."

Niki Chow, Fama and Soler attended the "SCOLAR 2009 Putonghua Carnival" event held at Olympian City. Niki had just returned from Japan. She stated that she had been filming there for 1 month. The reporter asked her whether she wore a surgical mask on the plane? She said that she did but didn't eat for 4 hours. This was because she didn't want to remove the mask. (Did she meet any guys there?) She laughed "No, the trip was too short." Niki feels that Putonghua is actually not difficult to learn. As you can listen to songs and watch Mainland programmes. But Japanese is very hard to learn. she has stayed there for 1 month and can only understand a few simple characters.

Niki disclosed that while filming for her programme special, she had to fly in a helicopter. In order for the shooting to be more convenient the door was left open. She said "I originally thought that after filming I would be able to immediately leave because I was very scared. However the pilot asked me whether I wanted to fly around again. I couldn't hear what he said and thought he asked me how I was feeling. I kept on saying Okay and the pilot immediately flew the helicoptor around again."

Self-Confidence

Two years in music scene, 2 albums, 2 sessions of concert, is this the right time? Raymond admitted that he is worried but at the same time he is confident : [Last year the company has told me about organizing a solo concert for me, and I was planning to spend more time on singing and gaining as much as experience possible before I decide further about having my own concert. It was totally out of my expectations when they broke this news to me. I have not even had any experience in running a mini concert and all out a sudden I am told that I will be taking this big step to stage a solo concert at the Coliseum this year! So, I was thinking if everyone is confident in me and felt that the timing is right, I just have to believe in myself do all that I could and try my level best].

HK Coliseum is a place where HK singer dreams to stage their own solo concert, is also a platform that determines a singer's future success or failure and above all every song that you sing lives on for eternity.

Raymond, being a newbie, is now given such a golden opportunity, inevitably he feels the pressure : [Instead of focusing on the pressure, I will use it as an avenue to motivate myself! When I was told of this, pressure aside, I felt excited about it, the Coliseum is every singer's dream, I could not have imagined that that this is going to be reality, and I thought this could not be happening, not until last week's Press Conference only was I able to be convinced that this is not a dream after all!]

In view of his intense filming schedule [Journey of a Star] in China, every concert-related interviews and shooting has to be done in parts, mostly done in the wee hours of the morning. Is time running out on him for all the preparations?

Raymond sighed with a great relief said : [Filming is almost completed, and I will have more time for stamina and dance training, everything has been planned out, I will not be too worried about not having enough time to rest. But I am quite worried about not being able to remember the dance steps. I'm fortunate that the company has sent two very good dance instructors, Sunny and Chris, and also the top crews working on the backscene for which I am very grateful to the company for all the arrangements]

Footnote

01. Raymond rarely performed dances publicly, but for this concert, he will have a big breakthrough in this area.

02. In 2007, with "Finding you in loving memory" he entered the music scene and won [Most Popular Male Newcomer Gold Award], from then on Raymond gained public recognition for his strong vocal.

03. In 2008, he released his 2nd album (Your Love), in just a matter of one month, his album reached Platinum Sales Record, this gives him the confidence to continue his venture in the music scene.

04. In 2008, Raymond's sub-theme song for [Moonlight Resonance] - [Love Without Regret], his soft and passionate voice won the hearts of all the girls in Hong Kong, also with this song, he has garnered the 'Top 10 Golden Songs' award.

Another Side of Raymond

Raymond has earlier revealed that in his concert, he will appear in sexy costumes. He said costumes are merely eye-pleasers. However, Raymond said : [As a singer, the focus should be on the songs at any one concert, the audience comes to listen to our singing. This is my core responsibilities and I really hope that I will be able to meet everyone's expectations].

Mastering singing skills is indeed an important task. Raymond first gained recognition for his good vocal in [Finding You In Loving Memory], 'Goon Ga Jai''s heart warming song [Love Without Regret] and others.

Nevertheless, he longs for a breakthrough: [Singing ballads (love songs) is the audience's definitive point of view about me, and this is also the real me. But for this concert, I hope to portray another side of my style that people have not seen, actually, not many people have heard me singing fast/upbeat songs, especially, upbeat songs coupled with fast dance, this would be my very first attempt in a public environment, there might be rap songs as well. I will try everything new as far as I could].

Besides featuring upbeat songs accompanied by sexy dancers in a 'water tank' up on stage, Raymond also revealed there would be some elements of fashion show added to it, purely to keep the audience entertained : [I look at this as a fun-filled party, and I hope that there will be all night interactions with the audience. Actually I hope that under a safety-controlled environment, I will be able to get into the midst of the audience and have audience come up on stage to have fun together]

Asked about hanging in mid-air : [I have been hanging in mid-air with the help of wires when filming ancient series, hence I think there should not be much of a problem, but, let's wait for the arrangements set up by the company.

The guest list has been finalised which include Raymond's senior, Charlene Choi and Vincy Chan, his junior colleague, Wong Cho Lam and his good old friend, who is very popular now, Laughing Gor (Michael Tse). As for his rumoured girlfriend, Linda Chung, Ms Virginia Lok revealed that the management is trying to have Linda perform a song with Raymond (Sum Ling), but she is still in the midst of filming, hopefully she will have some time off to attend the concert.

Besides, Raymond also said that he has also personally invited a few 'special guests : [ I have rang up a few friends whom I have not worked before and extended my personal invitation to them. They have said yes to it. We will be having an on-stage 'singing jam session'.

Raymond would not reveal the names.
