TVB News World - Asian Entertainment News Daily

Borrowing Chai Kau's golden line, "How many ten years is there in a life time?", and especially during the 20-30 age phase, it's the golden period of 10 years where many people come out of school and step into the society, and from an immature mindset to defining their own life goals clearly. Myolie Wu, who's approaching 30 soon, looks back at her 10-year development in the entertainment industry. She felt fortunate that while she got to act, she also had the chance to rush onto the last train to enter the music industry. She has already set her targets for the next 10 years. Other than hoping to develop further into both TV and singing, she also wants to become a mother before 40 years old. MSN celebrated its 10th year anniversary for breaking into the Hong Kong market, and cooperated with TVB.COM to release a 'MyTVxMSN' free TV channel, allowing the netizens to re-watch TVB's TV programs while playing on MSN. To make this occasion grand, the organizer found Myolie Wu, whom coincidentally was in her 10th year of her career, to become the promotional ambassador for the 10-year-old anniversary. She joked that if it was not for MSN's reminder, she would not have realized on how time had flown past. "10 years seem to be like a long time, but I feel that I've just entered the industry not long ago. Because last year, I had the chance to venture into the music industry. It's very different from my acting job. No longer portraying other characters, but to be myself. Feels very refreshing."

Thinking back on the development in the entertainment industry for the past 10 years, Myolie felt very satisfied, "These 10 years, many people gave me opportunities. I can try doing a job which I like. Tried acting, releasing an album. I felt that I'm very fortunate. Last year when I released my first album, I clinched the newcomer award. It's already a recognition. I won't demand myself to become the 'Top' so quickly. Instead, I shall enjoy the process of my work, hoping that I will improve gradually, and be able to have another 10 years in my career."

When talking about the future 10 years, it's even the period for her to develop and expand her career. Her ambition is to break out of the Hong Kong market. "My past dramas have helped me to accumulate a little popularity in the South-east Asia region. Hopefully in the future, I can film more better dramas, and allow the overseas people to know me. Then I can attend stage performances outside of Hong Kong too. I've also planned to sing Mandarin songs soon, breaking into the Taiwan and Mainland markets. And also, have chances to work with music producers from other countries." Recently, she's busy with recording her new album, and frankly expressed that most of her time had been spent on singing. But looking at the long-term plan, she hopes to develop a balance between acting and singing.

Although Myolie said that she's currently busy with work and does not have the impulsiveness to datet and get married, she still hopes that 10 years later, she can get pregnant and have a child. "In the past, I didn't want to become a mother. Because need to sacrifice a lot. After having the child, it's like my life has stopped. Everything needs to be considered for the child. But when my nephew was born, I saw that although my elder sister gave out a lot, she also obtained a lot of happiness from the process. I feel that it's worth it. So I hope that I can become a mother. I believe that 40 years old won't be too late!" But she still felt that relationship matters cannot be rushed. She won't marry hurriedly just because she wants to become a mother. She even emphasized strongly that for the next 10 years, her career is still of the top priority.

Felix Wong was a guest for "Be My Guest" with Stephen Chan the other day. Stephen teased Felix that he and Michael Miu has the worst singing in the entertainment industry. Stephen also gave Felix a watch as a gift and hopes he will "leap" back to TVB soon. Although Felix sings bad, but in 1995 he actually recorded a song with Chen Ming, entitled: 愛在星光燦爛時. Felix laughed: "It was this song that ruined my chance to become a singer."

Asked if Felix has anything that he cannot say? He said: "I have no secrets. Even if its relationships, I could talk about it. You can ask, but I won't answer." He also said that he is a boring person, had never had much news. Stephen also said that he has zero rumored partners. Asked if Felix would return to TVB? He said: "I have gone into discussion about it, but will have to see if the timing is right first! Leave it to fate!" Asked who he wants to co-star with? He said he is currently filming the LAUGHING GOR movie with Fala Chen, Koni Lui and the group of Mr. Hong Kongs. He feels that there is a huge refreshing feeling. The group of Mr. HK have some great momentum. When speaking of Anthony Wong unhappy filming this movie, Felix denied: "No. He enjoys life, its very comfortable, he is always talking about how happy he was shooting for this movie and the difficult parts. Although he appears to be unhappy, but he is actually quite happy." Stephen then joked that because of that reason, he is Film King.

Stephen exposes that Felix had been with TVB for so many years and has never won the gold medal for 10 years of service. Because he left TVB twice, he never made it to being 10 years in TVB, Felix laughed and said that he will forever be a newcomer!

Recently G.E.M has replaced Elanne Kong in becoming the new spokesperson for Citicall. As well as earning a 7 digit sum, the advertising company have even created a new image for G.E.M for the advertisement full of facial expressions. It is said that the reason she was favored was because the advertising company knew the people working with her. They were introduced by connections and got on well instantly.

Elanne Kong who was the spokesperson for Citicall the last 2 years has always maintained a good relationship with the advertising company.

Surrenders making faces for 10 hours

G.E.M often makes different facial expressions. In order to use her talent the advertising company requested her to make faces during the shooting. It includes the famous "Goldfish face" expression. Due to making faces for over 10 hours, G.E.M who is full of energy wanted to surrender. She said "I feel like I am competing in a face changing competition. I even ran out of goldfish face expressions".

As for replacing Elanne Kong because her company staff knew the advertising company well, G.E.M stated that wasn't the case and that she will use Elanne as her goal. She said "In the past when I saw Elanne's advertisement I would stop by and glance at it. I hope people will look at my advertisement when it's released". G.E.M also promoted her new single "All About You" at the radio station yesterday. She stated that she is currently exercising to lose weight. "My makeup artist told me not to eat any foods with starch but I found it hard to resist after 1 day".

More Advertisements for Elanne

Elanne's management responded by saying that they didn't feel G.E.M had stole Elanne's work. They even stressed that Elanne ended the contract with the advertising company in a happy manner. "Each company has their own set of rules. We weren't able to fulfil the companies requirements this time. Elanne has a lot of upcoming work to do. As well as advertisements in discussion, she will also be entering the Mandarin market. Her fans needn't worry".

Elanne was shooting her new MV "有請下位" yesterday. She made it clear that Pakho Chau was not the male star that was reported pursuing her. She said "It's not him. I pity him to be dragged into it. I haven't phoned him yet as I just returned from Thailand. But I will apologise to him".

Selena Li who is frank and straight forward answered all the reporter's questions in a relaxed manner. She kindly revealed the age she started dating and the feeling of being dumped. She also exposed that she likes to drink soda and eat crisps during midnight. Clearly she has no hidden secrets that cannot be revealed.

Childhood Questions

Q: Did you play with Barbie dolls and play cooking games?
S: Of course I did
Q: How old were you when you first started dating?
S: 17 years old, I felt very shy at the time. When I was dumped I felt very sad. It took me 3 weeks to recover and I lost 10 pounds.

Selena has always considered love to be bigger than the sky. The reason she likes to play with Barbie is because it can take her into the adult world. She would be able to do things adults could do such as shopping and dating.

Food Questions

Q: Can you eat spicy foods? What is the spiciest food you have eaten?
S: I can eat very spicy foods. The spiciest food I ever had was eating hotpot in Sichuan. The hotpot was full chillies. After I finished eating my lips became swollen and it took me 2 days to recover.
Q: What weird eating habits do you have?
S: When it gets to midnight I must drink coke and eat crisps. It’s not a healthy habit but I can’t help it. The later it gets the more I crave for it.

Although Selena’s eating habit is not healthy, she doesn’t fear because eating is her main priority. She said "I always eat without thinking of my health. Most important is that I can eat, I love eating desserts. After having dinner I will eat cheesecake and crisps. That’s why people ask whether I didn’t eat enough at dinner".

Clothing Questions

Q: Do you like wearing trousers or dresses?
S: Of course I like to wear trousers.

Selena is very clumsy that’s why she likes to wear trousers. She said "It's not because I am a tomboy but because I am very clumsy. I usually get my clothes dirty while eating. If I wear a dress I will expose myself easily. That's why it is more secure to wear trousers and I won’t have to worry about it".

Life Questions

Q: What do you think about wearing shoes without socks?
S: If you’re wearing sandals then it doesn’t matter. But if you’re wearing normal shoes without socks then I can’t accept that. I’m afraid my feet will feel even hotter without socks and that my feet will smell.

Q: how many times do you shower a day?
S: I normally shower in the morning and evening. The most I ever showered was 4 times a day.
Q: will you ever feel too tired to shower and go straight to bed?
S: No

Selena takes care of her personal hygiene. She said "I am really afraid of being dirty. I never wear shoes without socks. Wearing shoes without socks gives me the impression you are wearing clothes but without underwear. It would feel strange. If I went straight to bed without having a shower, I would need to change the bed sheets the following day. That would be more of a hassle".

EEG's loveable Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) recently been rumored to be going over to rumored boyfriend Ronald Cheng's music record company. Vincy Chan expressed that she does not believe that her "see jie" Ah Sa will be leaving EEG. Vincy also said that there is a high chance that Twins will make a comeback into the music scene, she said: "How will that happen they do that if they are in two different companies!"

Vincy and Alex Fong attended an event to encourage students yesterday. Towards the news about Ah Sa will be moving over to Gold Label to be with rumored boyfriend Ronald Cheng, Vincy frankly said that she has not heard of this rumor and she doesn't believe it's true. She said: "Really? I really have never heard of this news before. (Do you believe it?) Nope. A few days ago, I went to see her stage drama performance, she didn't mention it to me then. (There was rumors that her 'boyfriend' pulled her over?) I don't know if it's true, don't ask me. (Dating and working together, it's really happy?) I feel that even if you have another half, you don't always have to be together with them, there needs to be personal space."

Vincy feels that Ah Sa and EEG has a really good relationship, it is an ideal place for personal development, leaving the company would lessen the opportunities and is less likely to happen. She also believes that there is a high opportunity that Twins will make their comeback into the music scene, she said: "I really look forward to it myself, this possibility is very high, so there is no reason for her to change companies. If that happens, when the time comes, would the two companies both sent out one of their artists to make up the group Twins? By that time, their name would need to be changed too!"

Alex Fong also does not believe in the rumors, he said that the news is ridiculous, he said: "She is currently doing very well, there is no reason for her to change companies. But if she does move over to Gold Label, we'll still welcome her. (Did you ask Ronald about it?) Nope, I will ask him for you guys. (If she joins Gold Label, is there a threat to Stephy Tang then?) There is no threat to me. (Leo Ku also developed quite well, but he still moved over to EEG?) That's not related. Every person has a different thought, terminating the contract is usually decided by both parties."

Dante Lam's new movie "Fire Dragon" was filming in Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui last night. The main character, Leon Lai, Michelle Ye, and Richie Ren filmed through the hot and humid weather, but still managed to perform splendidly, playing competent detectives. The filming crew had on set numerous police vehicles, which attracted a large amount of onlookers. However they were only filming dialog scenes and did not have any action scenes.

In this movie, Leon reveals a scruffy beard. The female lead, Michelle, sacrifices her long hair by cutting it short. She also does not wear any make-up. It’s no wonder why many onlookers did not recognize her. Michelle has a refreshing look and is shown in a new light. The scene shows Leon discussing with Michelle about the investigation. Later, they are met with Richie Ren who is dressed in a suit. While filming, everyone was very serious, but off-camera the atmosphere was very harmonious and happy. They even obliged to the request of spectators who wanted group pictures and autographs.

In a one-on-one relationship, to get along with each other there need to be a bit of fate involved. Kent Cheng and Steven Ma, both are indomitable personalities, yet connect like father and son.

One late night, I happened upon Kent goh in the TVBcity cafeteria. Turns out that he would be flying out to Hengdian the next day to shoot a series. However, before setting out, he still made this one special trip to TVBcity to visit Steven Ma who was shooting Pu Songling then. Does Kent goh love Ma Zai this dearly?

“You know me; black is black, white is white, no middle ground. I cherish Ma Zai because he is willing to endure, also very hardworking, willing to analyze meticulously each and every one of his characters. In the entertainment field, what is most important to have is a fire inside. He has it. And this fire is burning pretty big. All this child lacks is a bit of luck, and when luck comes, the achievement will be extraordinary, for sure. I once said this to some tvb top brass: to have Ma Zai this kind of artiste is extremely rare. TVB must treasure him,” responded Kent goh, earnestly.

Kent goh expressed: The success or failure of a series is everybody’s responsibility; not just if I did my part then that’s it. What’s rare about Ma Zai is that he is willing to scrutinize every scene, to scrutinize every line; he is even concerned over the scene of the person playing opposite him; even down to the nitty-gritty details. What good about him is that he has a heart that cares about the whole, big picture.

Kent goh professed that so long a person is worth respecting, even if he is a junior, he will duly respect him; and Ma Zai is one such person.

Kent goh is a talented all-around artiste in the entertainment world. His influence has spurred on Ma Zai’s drive. Whenever they have free time, they will meet up to discuss acting and directing of shows. Ma Zai has already regarded Kent goh performing arts endeavors as his life-long endeavor to aspire to. An actor cum director, Kent goh during this one year of their acquaintance, has imparted quite a bit of his acting knowledge and techniques to Ma Zai so as to ‘open’ him up.

Ma Zai and Kent goh shared a mutual affinity. Although they have not known each other for long, they have already become bosom friends. Ma Zai frankly acknowledges that he is very lucky to have met Kent goh, this teacher.

“Kent goh taught me the most important thing in acting is to understand the concept of “allocation”. When to reel in? When to let go? When to yield? When to let others make their moves; although clearly mine yet not permitted release ya! When is the right time to fight forcefully; don’t fight for scenes. Only upon grasping this can one be qualified to be the main lead.”

But then, other artistes may have their own points of view and ways of acting. During the process of communicating, aren’t you concern that you may be misunderstood ma? Kent goh felt that in a materialistic society, the majority of people are concerned only of their own good; people who are concerned about others are in the minority.

"The people who give opinions only wish to do the work better. I don’t see it as a wrong approach. Ma Zai and I discuss and analyze movies and series nonstop. So very enjoyable. It’s merely an exchange.”

A relation that transcends age as well as transcends status. Kent goh and Ma are the best example that true friendship can and does exist in the entertainment world.

Chin Ka Lok was promoting for TVB new series "A Bride for A Ride", when speaking of singing the main theme song for the first time, Ka Lok laughed: "At the end of the year, I want to use the status of a singer to challenge the 'Best Newcomer Award' and I want to battle with Chai Gau in the TVB "Outstanding Male Artist" Award." Asked if the theme song he sang will scare away the 'customers' (viewers)? Chin Ka Lok laughed again: "Actually the Producer told me to sing the song, I'm cannot worry about too much." Ka Lok expressed that this year his career took a leap, first he got to be a host, sing songs and get to release a new "Super Trio" book. Asked if he would get marry and have kids soon? He directly said: "No." When the playful Chin Ka Lok was playing the changing costumes game, he went extreme and dressed up to be a girl and even touched his chest area, he said: "One side smaller than Rain Lau, the other side bigger than Tracy Ip." Rain Lau generously admitted that she can be playful and won't get upset, the filming process was quite enjoyable.

[On.cc] When Sammul Chan heard that Chin Ka Lok was gonna dress up like a girl, he felt shocked because he'll be like a mountain girl (who is rough). He feels that dressing up like a girl is not easy because when he was filming this series, he often had to dress as girl. At the time, Chin Ka Lok did not understand why Sammul always had a frown on his face, it was because when your a girl, you have to shake your waist all the time, that's why when he had on a girl's costume he did not feel like playing anymore.

Also, Ms. Lok's outfit that day had the two letters "MJ" on it, when she was taking pictures with Michael, he jokingly said: "Ms. Lok is a fan of MJ, tell her to dance like MJ!" Ms. Look then immediately fought back: "You are the Dance King, do the Moonwalk!"

Fala Chen expressed that she gained a lot from Francis Ng and Anthony Wong. Asked if the two men used their "flowerly mouth" (flirt) on her? Fala said: "No. Francis always inspires me, gives me lots of advices. When I ask him for advice, he would answer me in a very serious tone, he's like a book. He didn't scold at me at all maybe because I'm very obedient!" Even when taking a bath Fala would reflect on her performance that day, but she smiled and said that her experience in the movie market is not enough.

It has been reported that retired Hong Kong film actress, Joey Wong Cho Yin shaved her head and became a nun at a Canadian Buddhist temple in June 2009. Joey soared to immense popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan after starring in "A Chinese Ghost Story"《倩女幽魂》opposite Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing. Allegedly, Joey’s action may have been triggered by her ex-boyfriend, Chyi Chi’s earlier wedding news.

When the press contacted Chyi Chin last night, he was incredulous. He immediately reached out to Joey’s family. "I knew of Joey’s strong belief in Buddhism, but not to the extent that she will become a nun. The only person who has been in close contact with Joey would be her mother. I called her uncle in Anhui, who contacted Joey’s mother. Even Joey’s mother is uncertain whether Joey in fact chose a a Buddhist path.”

Chyi Chin spoke about his break-up with Joey. "At that time, Joey did not want to move to Taipei. She preferred a quieter location and took the initiative to leave. Since we have known each other for so long, we are good friends. Although I am very concerned about her, we have not been in touch for several years. Perhaps, her career in Canada did not produce ideal results or she was hurt from another relationship. I do not believe that our break-up had a direct impact on her decision to become a nun.”

When Chyi Chi learned that Joey became deeply religious earlier in the year, he tried to visit her in Canada. "Last month when I was in Canada, I called her and left a message for her. But she did not return the call.” Returning to Taiwan in June, Chyi Chi discovered that Joey’s grandfather died. Chyi Chi tried to find the whereabouts of Joey. “She has not been in touch with her family for a very long time."

Cha Siu Yan Confirmed the News

Radio personality, Cha Siu Yan validated the news that Joey Wong became a Buddhist nun. "I was not in direct contact with Joey. However, one of my mentors, who has a very close relationship with Joey, told me about the matter. Thus the news should be true."

Cha Siu Yan also said that Joey’s predicament was directly linked to Peter Lam, Media Asia’s boss. “When Joey was involved with Peter Lam, he was not divorced. Thus, she became a third party, which had a substantial impact on [her image] and her career.” Due to her relationship with Peter Lam, Joey could no longer remain in Hong Kong, thus forcing her to eventually settle down in Canada.

Raymond defends his good friend: "Nonsense, the whole world had a chance to do karaoke because of him."

Asked if Raymond felt that he "lost out"? He said: "It's not like that! Joe recently brought a new karaoke set, he asked me to go to his house to sing karaoke and said that he'll learn how to sing my songs. Because that night, the party didn't have karaoke, so he brought his one." Another report said that, that night Joe was the "important person" as he got to stand next to Ms. Lok during the group picture. Raymond defends Joe again: "Nonsense! Should not talk about people like that. We are very mature people, we are good brothers. That night he contributed money and efforts. (How are you going to help him clarify?) He is really not like that, we all just came together to take a good photo, the most important is the main character (Virgina Lok), we should all take pictures happily." He also said that he has not given any gifts to Ms. Lok yet, but he already has something planned. In an CRHK interview with Eileen Cha, Raymond was asked to choose his older sister, younger sister and wife among the three artists: Kay Tse, Tavia Yeung and Linda Chung. He had no choice but to choose her. He said Linda is like a little bird, she is probably quite considerate.

[Oriental Daily] Raymond Lam accepted an interview from CRHK, when the DJ Eileen Cha asked him to classify Kay Tse, Tavia Yeung and rumored girlfriend Linda Chung into older sister, younger sister and wife, Raymond praised that Kay knows how to take care of others, therefore he chooses her to be older sister as a result. As for wife, Raymond laughed in response and did not avoid suspicions, so he chose Linda. He said: "Her cooking skills, I don't know about, but Linda gives me the feeling that she is considerate, maybe because of her voice, it's comfortable, like a little bird!" He also said that Linda is like a tomboy: "Don't let her voice fool you." Speaking of Linda not attending his concert, Raymond knew already it: "She had to film. (So you told her not to come?) No, I didn't!"

Coming from a wealthy background, Raymond expressed that after he entered the industry, he has gotten more pressured. He said: "I can't lose!" He also said that his father hopes that he could continue with the family business, and he does not rule out of the future business. Raymond says: "My little brother already said that he won't be entering the industry and he likes business. So we'll let my brother look after it for now. I also have thought about doing business myself because after all I am the oldest son."
