TVB News World - Asian Entertainment News Daily

Let me cut to the chase, from entertainment news standpoint, Steven Ma is actually quite boring: he has no special dragon & phoenix access to a prominent family, has negligible entanglements with hot women, also has no bizarre leak of bedroom photos; and appearance wise: ten years elapsed like a day, nose did not become higher or longer, eyes still single lidded; awards competition: often seemingly outside the fray; as for romantic rumors: in all those years they are a flash in the pan, and hardly scintillating enough as juicy gossips for the neighborhood housewives.

But the funny thing is, you would not oppose to watching his Nip Dor Bo in The Life and Times of a Sentinel, nor would you switch channel because he was demonstrating how to cook fried rice in Apprentice Chef.

I am not sure whether this could be called “audience affinity”, just that whenever I see Steven on screen, my mind will automatically pop out these four words, “silently cultivating the field”, more vulgarly or bluntly put: a draft ox or a work horse keeping his nose to the grindstone unceasingly slogging away.

"Actually, I’m a person who just wants to quietly do my work, and not want to think about other stuff or be bothered by it.” He says: “A work horse? Unceasingly slogging away? Hahahaha! Actually, I’ve my own ideals; it’s not that I don’t know about the shortcuts, or don’t know about the scheming but that I just couldn’t get past myself, couldn’t do it! I don’t feel that the path I’m taking now will not take me to what I want, just that it may take a longer time, that’s all. Because my philosophy is to firmly believe that people in the end still need to take the right path!”

Suddenly, I see behind Steven, who faces me, a ray of dazzling light --------

It is the after rain sunbeam shining through the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

BIOLOGICAL SON

Recall Wong Hei once said the method TVB uses to heavily promote an artiste is the “quicksilver ubiquity”, which I interpret to mean if you are tvb obedient biological son you will be duly promoted by the company, subsequently, your mark will be seen in all big and small programs and events. Verily, Steven has continually appeared on screen, but not to the degree of permeating every nook and cranny, thus giving the impression to people that he is not a tvb biological son.

“On this matter, many people had said the same to me. They thought that maybe I was a stray picked up by TVB or maybe I was an adoptee. Hahaha! Never mind! Actually, since 2004 (TN: all news has it as 2005) TVB was already my manager. If tallying back even more, when I first came out as singer in 1993, I had already signed a singing contract with TVB, which means to this day I have signed up with TVB for 18 years. Honestly, I truly love this organization! From Clearwater Bay TV City to the present location Tseung Kwan O TV City, I have gone through several dynasties: Chiu Chung Man, Chan Goon-Ming, Ho Ting Kwan …those who saw me grow up in TVB all have now retired!”

Earlier on, wasn’t there news reporting that veteran journalist, Tsui Yong Yong, after ten years of being his manager has recently resigned her post because of his provocation?

"I personally own a publishing company. All along, Tsui jie had been the manager in my company. She managed the publishing operation and read the books. When she occasionally received a job she would relay the news to my tvb manager. Basically, Tsui jie only worked for my own company, but I freehand her to do some freelancing.”

Ok, so now the manager issue has been clarified, but, how come all these years, it seems like all he does is slogs unceasingly away at TVB unlike other tvb biological sons who get myriad preferential treatments from the company?

Steven says this is a two-way issue.

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

He analyzes that one of the key issues maybe that he seldom sets foot on the 8th floor management department where TVB dictates the workloads for the artistes.

“All these years, the number of times I visited 8th floor can be numerically counted. When up there, I just couldn’t get engrossed. I didn’t even know some of the colleagues’ names! It maybe my fault, not knowing how to communicate with them, so over time, people may have felt that I have isolated myself from TVB, or that I seem like a stranger to them. But as artist, I feel that management will make the appropriate arrangements for me. No need for me to especially or deliberately do anything else!

“Conversely, the TVB department that I’ve the most feeling for is the series production on the 7th floor. Could even say I grew up in this department. I have a good relationship with all the directors, the producers, the scriptwriters, the PAs, the crew, the martial arts troupe! All these years in TVB, only one thing has not changed, which is this production department of Zan Jie’s (Catherine Tsang). From singer turning to actor, it was Zan Jie and Tim Gor who asked me to shoot DOMD 1998. In 2004 (sic 2005) when I signed the management contract with TVB, it was also Zan Jie who asked me to. When I entered the industry, Zan jie was there, and today, she is still here!”

As to Virginia Lok and Stephen Chan, how is his relationship with them?

“That year when I was shooting “Ghost Writer”, my contract had actually ended. Miss Lok had looked me but we had too many disagreements so could not come to a consensus. Later, Mr. Chan and Zan Jie looked me up for another talk. That was my first time officially meeting Mr. Chan. Even he thought it was funny. We both have been in the same company for so many years yet it seems like we did not even know each other! Actually, I’m grateful to him for this renewed contract because they have given me many promises and most of them have been slowly fulfilled, especially Mr. Chan, who is a pragmatic person.”

NO BURDENS

The other key issue --- let me analyze, is that all these years he only cares to fulfil his own obligations. Steven exclaims: “I will never use underhanded tactics to accomplish a goal or an ideal! I joined the workforce at an early age. Was 17 when I worked in Longmans selling text books; was 19 when I joined Tin Chemistry Ltd. At 21 years old I already helped the company generate a 20 million dollars business. How can I not know the dark side of the commerce industry? You want me to be devious, it’s not that I don’t know how; you think I’m still a naïve romantic 16 year old boy? I don’t do the under the table stuff because I couldn’t bring myself to do it! Incidentally, I’m quite proud of that fact!

“I’m almost 40 years old. I don’t want at this age to do things that I may regret some day, feeling guilty to have done things that had hurt someone else. I dare to say that I’ve never done anybody wrong. I can lift my head high anytime. Is there anybody wanting me to bow down my head, feeling scared? Sorry, none to this day! But are there people who see me and feel that they did me wrong? I think there are some! So to this day, I carry no burdens towards anybody. I feel comfortable these days so that’s good enough!”

Having roll with the punches for so long in the show business, should be able to have found some journalist friends to help with some promotion, to at least increase his name exposure!

“Even till now, every time I attend big scale press conferences, I am not quite at ease! Unless I happened to encounter familiar friends or people I get along with, if not, then I'll become quite tongue tied! Journalist friends often told me not to be so reticent but that's just me. Furthermore, I don’t know how to ingratiate myself to a clique, don't know how to socialize. I admit I’m quite conventional!”

BOTTLENECK POSITION

But the fact of the matter is, that you are in showbiz, don't you wish to become a TV king?

"Award, there's nobody who wouldn't want it. If you say that TVB gives me an award to reward me, I'll be dizzy with happiness! But after coming up empty handed so often I've become indifferent to it. Euphemistically put, it's possessing a calm equanimity. There are many extraneous factors involved in getting an award. I once said to myself if I can't be a TV king I won't leave TVB. Luckily I only said this to myself else my whole lifetime will belong to TVB! Hahaha!

But, even if I don't get award, I'll still continue doing my work! It's not that I don't have ambition! But that I feel most comfortable with my current lifestyle. I don't feel that this way will not help me achieve my objectives! Next year my tvb management contract will again terminate, what's best is that I can continue to work for the company at the same time shoot some mainland series. Because these days, mainland series have considerable high standard. Also lately I have been reading many scripts! I wish from the acting aspect there is a difference and a breakthrough in the roles. Best is portraying an extreme villain and a post modern series. It's fun acting a villain role! If the character is born a bad seed and a born killer, what can you do to me? As for post modern era, that's because I love the history in this era. Let me portray Sun Yat Sen or maybe Zan Sai character from 京華春夢. Truly not bad! If I could command these two roles, what character role could constraint.me? Of course, for these characters, I first need to wait for a good script to enable me to flex my imagination! I'm all ready, I truly need this stimulation!"

An actor with such a upright image portraying an extreme villain, I believe the outcome will be quite chilling.

October 26th this year Steven will be officially forty years old.

At forty, I have no doubts. (tn: Chinese's saying)

Steven says at this age, he feels that his present body and mind are at their fittest and most stable.

"I don't mind at all people knowing my age. I'm a boar, almost 40, so what? My generation in TVB are all siu sang, all are over 40 years old. On the contrary, I feel that the present me is most mature and stable! My contemplation and thought process are all very crystal clear now! Also, I feel that this age is men's most golden time period, and most able to masterfully handle all kinds of character roles!

"Since entering the industry till now, my personal details are all clearly accounted for, no hidden secret;, so that makes me feel very confident; no matter when you question me, my answers will always be the same. I've been in the industry for 18 years, what history of mine can't see the light? If want to expose, someone would have exposed that long ago! Sooner or later, people have to acknowledge their past, if can't then it will be hard for them in the future."

The thing is, not every artist's past or personal details can be so blithely and openly show all.

Earlier on, Moses Chan (陳豪) was exposed by the newspaper to have built a rendezvous nest in Sham Tseng with Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) to facilitate their secret dates and meetings.

Moses smiled sweetly the entire day yesterday and with a face of bliss, he admitted that he was at a stage of half-disclosing their relationship and couldn’t stop smiling and coquettishly flaunting that his current love life was very sweet. Moses continued to say that he didn’t want to lie and deny the “Chans” romance, which progressed to the “dating” stage.

Yesterday, Moses appeared at an event with a face of sweetness and bliss. Moses’ mother was also at the event but immediately dodged when reporters tried to take a photograph of her. When the event organizers gave two capes to Moses, one of the cape was embossed with the initial of Moses’ western name, “M”, while the emcee joked that the other cape should be embroidered with the letter “A” (the initial of Aimee’s western name). Upon hearing this, Moses did not refute and even highly praised, “The letter ‘A’ is also good, ‘A’ stands for high marks.”

Don’t Wish to Say the Opposite of His Actual Feelings

After the event, Moses said that he would give the cape to Aimee and professed that he ever gave desserts and coffee to her. Asked whether Aimee had ever given any “hand knitted with love” items to him, Moses replied, “Good question, I also wish to ask her myself.” (Reporter: Things are currently at a half-disclosure stage?) “Okay lahs!”

Asked whether he and Aimee already have a consensus to disclose their romance publicly, Moses responded, “Let us date a few more times first lahs! I also want to keep things low-key however it’s a pity that we were often caught by you guys (the paparazzi).” (Reporter: You are currently very sweet?) “Yes!” (Very happy in your love life?) “Okay lahs!”

Moses continued to say that he had always maintained a low profile approach in managing his love matters, “When guys ask me, I really want to remain true to my feelings and don’t wish to lie. But I will try my best; I don’t wish to handle this in a high profile manner.” After which, the couple Moses and Aimee will be collaborating on a series, Moses refused to “let the cat out of the bag” and said, “There are many developments inside (the drama with Aimee). In any case you guys will be happy.”

Evergreen Mak Exposed That The Duo Is Dating

In other news, after spending the night secretly meeting Aimee at their new love nest, Moses’ tracks were uncovered when he left and was caught by reporters walking to take his car the next morning. After which, things got more confusing when Moses tried to explain himself and was even unwittingly exposed by Aimee’s “brother” Evergreen Mak (麥長青) that the two were a couple!

Reporters camped for two consecutive nights at the “Chans” love nest and yesterday at around 7 AM, they finally found the trail of Moses. It was known that last night, Moses and Aimee had a secret overnight meeting and Moses only left the next morning. While walking to collect his car, Moses was disguised in casual clothes and held onto his sunglasses case and residency pass.

At first, Moses was extremely cautious, wearing a hat and a disposable mouth mask to prevent recognition but soon let his guard down, thus panicking immediately when he spotted the reporters. Asked whether he would disclose his relationship with Aimee Chan publicly and whether there were plans to build another nest, Moses didn’t respond and only let out a silly smile embarrassingly. Moses also politely waved to reporters as he drove away.

Moses later accepted a telephone interview with the reporters and was inevitably in good spirits. Asked whether he was cohabiting with Aimee, Moses happily replied, “No lahs, I was there to have dinner at my friend’s home.” (Reporter: Who?) “Evergreen Mak.” (Reporter: You left the house and picked up your car at 7 AM the next day?) “Yesterday night, we drank some wine after finishing dinner and I only left the next morning to avoid driving immediately after drinking.”

Moses, however, denied staying together with Aimee in Sham Tseng. Asked whether their relationship had advanced to the next stage, Moses responded, “This is a happy matter.” (Reporter: What is your relationship with Aimee Chan?) “Maintaining it as a dating relationship.” (Not planning to make it public?) “This will have to wait until we date a few more times first.” (The outside world are accepting of this?) “Thank you.”

Faced with constant pestering whether he had moved into Sham Tseng together with Aimee Chan, the more Moses tried to explain, the more confusing things became, “No, but the environment there is good.” (Reporter: But you were holding onto a residency pass?) “Huh? How could it be? I live at Tseung Kwan O, that was the residency pass for my apartment at Tseung Kwan O.” (But to enter and exit the Tseung Kwan O apartment building, one has to use the Octopus transit card). “That was an Octopus card, if you don’t believe, I can show it to you the next time.”

Moses explained that he only headed there to have dinner at Evergreen Mak’s home and even greatly praised Evergreen’s wife for her superb cooking skills. When asked why he parked his car so far away, Moses said, “To avoid parking at the same carpark as Aimee. So I deliberately parked somewhere further; who would have known that I would still get caught by you guys? I’m a very low-profile person and don’t wish to be talked much about by others. In any case, if I were to disclose this publicly, I would definitely tell Oriental Daily.” (When that day comes, let us take a photo of you holding hands with Aimee?) “Ok, good lahs!”

Asked whether she had built a love nest with Moses, Aimee sweetly replied, “No lahs! Haha, I’m still living at Clear Water Bay. We had a friend there so we went to eat dinner with him.” (Reporter: Is that friend Evergreen Mak?) “Yes, he’s my ‘brother.’” (Is Moses officially your boyfriend?) “I also hope that he will be in the future.”

With regards to Moses saying that he often have dinner at Evergreen’s home, Evergreen unwittingly exposed the couple’s relationship during a phone interview yesterday. Evergreen, who was also known to be Aimee’s “elder brother,” said over the phone, “My sister (referring to Aimee Chan) often comes to my home to have meals with us, to drink some soup and even taught my daughter to speak English.” (Reporter: Did she bring Moses along with her?) “Of course, she did. I’m after-all her ‘elder brother’ so she had to introduce her boyfriend to me.” (They went up to your home together?) “A few times lahs. It’s like that when you just started dating each other, when you are often chased around by the paparazzi, where can you go?”

While attending a promotional event for his new drama yesterday, Evergreen Mak was asked whether Moses did anything outrageous after drinking with him in his Sham Tseng home. To which Evergreen replied, “Moses himself is an adult.” (Reporter: So adults will do activities that adults do?) “We only chatted and were not in the room.”

Bernice Liu Can’t Be Bothered About Former Love Moses Chan

On the other hand, Moses’ former love, Bernice Liu (廖碧儿) couldn’t be bothered about the “Chans” romance and only revealed about her recent work progress on her blog. In other news, it was known that the “Chans” will starting filming on Lee Tim Shing’s (李添胜) new drama, Ladder to Heaven "天梯" and thus could film and date at the same time.

Neighbor Joey Leung Exposes That There Is Another Secret Passage Way

Yesterday, upon seeing how Moses and Aimee went about their secret meeting, Joey Leung (梁荣忠) went on the radio program he was hosting to self-expose that the two of them (Moses and Aimee) were living in the same housing area and felt that it wasn’t a good sign, worrying that this would incur many pursuits from the paparazzi and in turn, mistake his car as one of their cars. Joey laughed and continued to say, “It’s such a big matter; it’s my turn to move house now! However, Moses, you don’t have to worry. Actually, in our Sham Tseng apartment building, not only are there these two exits that they know about. Let me tell them the other exits lahs!”

In other news, Tavia Yeung (杨怡) and Sharon Chan (陈敏之) attended an opening ceremony for a jewelry shop. Both of them donned jewelry totaling 210 carats and which were worth more than $56 million HKD, dazzling everyone present at the venue. Tavia, who was still single, smiled and said that all that’s lacking now was a guy who could present to her this ring (that she was lent to wear for this event). Good friend Sharon Chan expressed that when she gets married in the future, she will definitely throw her bridal bouquet to Tavia to let her wish be fulfilled soon.

When asked about their opinions regarding Moses and Aimee’s building of a love nest in Sham Tseng, Tavia responded, “I nearly thought you guys meant that Moses has already proposed to Aimee for her hand in marriage! I haven’t read those news reports.” Their manager who was at the side, informed them the whole thing transpired when Moses and Aimee went to Evergreen’s house together for dinner. Tavia then expressed her agreement, “In this case then I will absolutely believe because I know that Evergreen stays at Sham Tseung. The only thing that isn’t correct is that they are lacking a roast goose (Hong Kong people believe that one should bring additional food, usually barbecued delicacies, to add to the table if you join someone else’s family dinner) and they didn’t call us to come. If only they had invited me and we went together then they wouldn’t be rumored. Too bad I had filming work. Eating meals is a happy thing. Actually I often eat meals with Moses in the TVB canteen but why didn’t anyone take photos of us ah? Anyway we have no rumors going on privately.”

When the reporter laughed and said that Sharon should give up her boyfriend away to Tavia, the both of them shared the same sentiments and said no. Sharon smiled and said, “Cannot, Tavia won’t like it. Furthermore, matters regarding boyfriends, two sisters must sort things out properly.” Tavia professed that she often dined together with Sharon and Sharon’s boyfriend, while encouraging them to get married soon.

Recently there was a netizen who self-professed to be an extra on set and left a message on the discussion forum. In his/her message, that netizen highly praised Tavia Yeung (楊怡) for treating temporary actors for snacks during filming and bestowed her with the words “Long Live Your Majesty”「萬歲」.

However, in contrast, that netizen exposed that another TVB Fadan, who was from a Miss Hong Kong background, saw that the extras were walking slowly and thus made a fuss and screamed obscenities at them. This then incurred rife speculation and the list of “suspects” included Kate Tsui (徐子珊), Fala Chen (陳法拉), Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼), Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) and even Yoyo Mung (蒙嘉慧). That netizen, however, refused to disclose the previous hint.

When told about this, Yoyo Mung responded, “I’m not from a Miss Hong Kong background. It’s okay to speak crudely but as long as it’s just for fun and not during work.”

Based on what Florinda said, reporters pursued the question of if she wanted to play a couple with her boyfriend? Florinda answered instantly: "I'm just saying!" Virgina added with a wide smile: "I'm trying hard to persuade her. (Which means if she is willing to, then you'll accept too?) She's not willing to!" However, when Florinda was asked what type of role she wants to portray? She said happily: "The Great Empress! I want to be the Queen Dowager." This clearly matches her boyfriend's earlier role as the Emperor.

Yesterday reporters contacted both Florinda and Virgina. Virgina was asked if Joel brought her girlfriend to see her because he wanted to ask TVB for their forgiveness? She said TVB basically did not blame Joel for anything, nor did he did anything wrong. Florinda was asked over the phone to confirm once again if she wants to enter the entertainment circle? She denied: "No way! I was joking! (In English)"

The other night at the dinner, Joel formally introduced her girlfriend to Virgina. Virgina expressed that the dinner was just a friend gathering, and they had a great time chatting.

OVERHEARD 2 (SIT TING FUNG WON 2) after six days in release broke 100 million yuan in the Mainland to become the first Chinese commercial film to break the mark this summer. As for its Hong Kong box office, after eight days it already passed 10 million. The film company yesterday held a press conference in Beijing. Producer Derek Yee Tung Sing, directors Alan Mak Siu Fai, Felix Chong Man Keung, stars Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho), Huang Yi, and Michelle Ye (Yip Shuen) arrived. The most surprising was that Goo Jai who injured his leg earlier also attended in support on crutches.

When the event began, Bon film industry chief Yu Dong pointed out, "This film has already broken the TRIPLE TAP (CHEUNG WONG JI WONG)'s earlier Chinese police film record. Right now it is the Bona film with the highest first week box office and the fastest Chinese commercial film to pass 100 million this summer." He pointed out that this celebration was a "hero meeting", meaning that OVERHEARD 2's record was due to each box office hero's hard work. He was very confident that OVERHEARD 2 box office would head to 300 million yuan.

Producer Yee Tung Sing at the event congratulated Chong Man Keung and Mak Siu Fai. Chong and Mak also took the chance to express thank to the audience. Chong Man Keung pointed out that the success of the film was not only due to the team's effort but also the audience's support. Originally recovering at home, Koo Tin Lok also appeared and stated that originally he wanted to participated in the OVERHEARD 2 premiere and national promotional tour. However his leg has not recovered and he could not, which he regretted. His doctor and manager originally prohibited him from attending this celebration, but now with the film's commercial and critical success, he wanted to meet the audience to share this joy. He also would like to make OVERHEARD 3 with the team.

Lau Ching Wan said that this series of films was sentimental to him because it changed him. He said, "After making WRITTEN BY (JOI SUN HO) for awhile I didn't want to make another film. OVERHEARD changed my mind." He also hoped that this series would continue. Originally Ng Yin Cho could not confirm whether he would attend but he still took time to so the Three Musketeers finally reunited.

Speaking of OVERHEARD 2's copyright violation, Yu Dong pointed out that Chinese film relied on the audience to have a healthy development. As long as the movie was good they should support it. Otherwise the industry would never positively develop.

Mischievous director Jeff Lau Chun Wai remade his 1993 classic Lunar New Year EAGLE SHOOTING HEROES into the all new EAST MEETS WEST 2011 (DONG SING SAI JAU 2011). Aside from inviting Eason Chan Yik Shun, Karen Mok Man Wai, Alex Fong Lik Sun, Stephy Tang Lai Yun and Lam Yat Fung to performance, he also matched them with outstanding costumes to increase the attraction of the film. The costumes were unveiled for the first time and gave everyone pleasant surprises, in particular was Mok Man Wai's purple lips and Lam Yat Fung's "panda eye", all of which made people's eyes light up.

Lau Chun Wai said that everyone still deeply remembered that 1993 EAGLE SHOOTING HEROES (DONG SING SAI JAU)'s sausage lips. Thus this time he continued to mess around with actor costumes and spent almost three months on the production, which was three times of the original. Although the background was modern city life, the comedy elements were absolutely full. Chan Yik Shun remained mysterious about his character. "For now I won't reveal what my character is like, but I can confidently say that this version is absolutely more creative than the 1993 version. I am confident that everyone would like the character and the costumes that the director had special made for me."

Emperor's 2012 heavyweight new film THE VIRAL FACTOR (YIK JIN) paired up Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung in a film for the first time. Earlier in the Jordan short film, they personally performed many chase and gun fight scenes. In coordination with the Jordan location and tanks, fighter jets and battleships that were rarely seen in Hong Kong film, the film created a Hollywood action film feel that was new to Hong Kong's eyes and ears. Jay honestly said that the pressure was enormous during the shoot.

The Emperor hit films BEAST STALKER (JING YUN) and STOOL PIGEON (SIN YUN) director Dante Lam Chiu Yin directed new film THE VIRAL FACTOR cost HK$200 million. The locations even reached Jordan, Malaysia and China. After the Jordan trailer was released earlier, Jay's cool sunglasses look, Ting Fung's mysterious prisoner look and the film's many gun fights and explosion scenes led to many raves on the streets. Many left praised on YouTube and the cast and the crew did not feel their effort was wasted.

Jay honestly said that he had to handle a lot of gun fight and action scenes. Although the pressure was huge, he had quite a sense of satisfaction. He said, "The director put an effort into how every actor held the gun before the shoot. He wanted us to give the audience a professional impression. Finally every time I shot a scene with a gun, I asked workers with military experience on hand whether my posture was correct. I looked forward to seeing the entire VIRAL FACTOR very much."

Ting Fung with STOOL PIGEON won the Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor. Working with Lam Chiu Yin again, he said, "THE VIRAL FACTOR's story was more crisp and clean with its positioning and pacing. I like my opening scene very much and appreciate very much such a thoughtful arrangement from Director Lam Chiu Yin."

Director Pang Ho Cheung, leads Shawn Yue Man Lok, Miriam Yeung Chin Wa and Mainland actors Xu Zheng and Angela Yang Mi yesterday attended the LOVE IN A PUFF 2 (CHUN GIU YU JI MING) wrap press conference. At the event everyone was full of witty remarks and cracked up the reporters on hand. LOVE after starting production in Hong Kong moved to Beijing for location shots. When asked about shooting in Beijing, Chin Wa pointed out that the director and Ah Lok kept telling dirty jokes on the set. "Yue Man Lok and the director kept laughing while shooting. They asked me to perform because I am old, otherwise they would only have two results, either they would get yelled at or she would just quit."

As for the rumored Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) performance, the director joked, "I never had the idea, but initially I asked Tom Cruise. He didn't have the time. I also asked Johnny Depp but his Chinese wasn't all that great. Finally I asked Teacher Xu Zheng." The bald Xu Zheng joked, "Aside from hairstyle, we are all the same type." The host asked Ah Lok in real life whether he would choose Chin Wa or Yang Mi as a girlfriend. The director answered for him. "I grew up overseas, under the Western influence I am more open minded. So I feel 3P would be decent." Yang Mi also said, "All four of us actors together would work too!" Ah Lok joked, "Why didn't you say something earlier? I waited for you to say that for a long time."

In the recent year, most of Kenneth Ma's roles are villains. Among them is his Wong Yeh role in The Life and Times of a Sentinel, who plots a plan to seize the throne. Asked if he has a diminished feeling? He said: "Being good for so many years, as an artist, villain roles are really fun, practically what I wish for. I feel I wasn't evil enough. I hope to be villain in another series and go extreme."

In reality, villain roles leave a deeper impression on audience, does Kenneth have confidence to stand out and win an award depending on a villain role? He said: "I don't know either, this is what the audience say. I want an award too because honestly you can ask for higher prices in jobs." Kenneth's most memorable scene was when he forced the emperor out of the Buddhist temple. He said: "My lines were over 40 pages long. It is the most difficult time in all of my acting experiences. It took us 3 nights to shoot that scene, those 3 days was really a deep feeling, very memorable."

Linda Chung, Nancy Sit, Pierre Ngo and the rest of the cast to TVB new series River of Wine attended the promotional event. Linda was asked about a magazine publishing a list of TVB artists' 2008 appearance money, which included her in the top 20. Linda laughed: "I'm happy, thanks to my company for giving me the opportunities. Even if I'm busy shooting series, I make time on my schedule to shoot Ads and do stage performances. (Any difference in the prices?) Very stabled, small raises, but no reduce in prices because my manager stands firmly in this area."

Also, lead actors Bowie Lam and Sunny Chan were absent from the promotion due to shooting in Mainland. Lead actress Nancy Sit initially had to lead a group to Shenzhen for a performance, but in the end she insisted on attending: "My learning center is currently giving lessons on moral conduct. The course teaches children about discipline and manners. Later, we will take them out for a performance, but for this promotion, I must rush back no matter what."

Recently Apple Daily and FACE reported that during the time Raymond Lam was dating Mavis Pan, he hooked up with a girl named Angel (Fong Fong) who is from his hometown Xiamen. The magazines published photos that implied untrue facts. Currently in Beijing busy shooting for new film Saving General Yang, Raymond issued a statement to Apple Daily and FACE through his lawyer yesterday. He was angered by the fabricated and twisted reports. During a long-distance phone interview, Raymond said: "There has been fabricated and negative reports all along. I always laughed them off, but this time I really cannot tolerate anymore! Since the Mavis Pan incident, I promised that I will concentrate on my work, but this time the reports made it sound like I'm lying. This has gone beyond my limit! I feel that even if work is difficult, I still won't retire from this industry, but when my family starts worrying, then I start to think maybe I should give up!"

Raymond reveals that the published photo on the reports was taken several years ago when he invited his Xiamen friends for a housewarming party. Aside from the photos with his awards and dog, the others were not taken at his house. Also, the photos are from so many years ago, he said heartbroken: "Miss Lok had already told the reporters that the rumor is not true, but they still wrote the story anyway. This really violates a reporter's integrity." Since he entered the industry, he had never made such an extreme move by taking legal action against the media, but this time the news worried his family, which Raymond honestly cannot accept. As for Angel, it has been several years since he contacted her, and she is already married anyway. He is worried the reports might affect her family too.

Raymond sadly expressed that the untrue reports have mentally harmed him as well, leaving him in long-term depression and left him a shadow on other people. He said painfully: "When there are classmate or friend gatherings, no one dares to take pictures with me. Even if they did take any pictures, they especially have to ask me if they can post it online! When I go out and there are fans who ask me to take pictures, I would hesitate, it's hard to live on with a shadow!" Also, the hosts on Scoop read out the original text to Raymond's statement.

Virgina Lok: This one's just ridiculous!

TVB Production and Resource Manager (Virgina Lok) voiced her support to Raymond's statement. She expressed that Raymond is still TVB's frontline actor, therefore his image is very important: "If he isn't careful and if there really was this incident, then his promises means nothing. However, this time the reports are truly ridiculous! Those pictures are taken when Raymond had a party. The photos in the bathroom and living room were not taken at his house. This incident also made Angel and her husband unhappy when they innocently got involved!" Raymond's mother also called Miss Lok to complain: "Last time the Mavis Pan incident already hurt Raymond deeply, he was depressed for a long time. He just got back on his feet and can concentrate on work, and now they attack him again!"

Miss Lok expressed after the magazines published those pictures, reporters contacted her to confirm. At the time, she already denied that the photos were from Raymond's house: "But I just don't understand why Apple Daily still published them. Raymond already got TVB's approval before issuing the statement. After so many other negative reports prior to this, his image is greatly affected. Soon, TVB will have a meeting to discuss what we can do."

The finale to TVB costume drama The Life and Times of a Sentinel starring Steven Ma and Kenneth Ma airs tonight. As this difficult to shoot production finally comes to an end, Steven said frankly he's having mixed feelings. He really wants the finale to broadcast quickly, so audience can see the results of all the hard work the crew put into this production. However, he is also worried that he'll feel reluctant and lost when the series ends.

Steven expressed that The Life and Times of a Sentinel holds a vital spot in the course of his acting, he said: "I have never portrayed a character with so much hatred like Nip Dor Po. In the finale week, he had a great psychological change. For revenge, he turned into a sinister and in the last few episodes, his relations with Kenneth Ma's role Fuk Chuen will rupture. Two men will have a very tragic ending. One of them will get frightening when an enormous secret uncovers. I look forward to see how audience will react to this ending."

Steven said he had a pleasant collaboration with Kenneth Ma, he said: "The shooting period this time was shor. The series is also set in the large palace court, so it was quite difficult, but the entire crew really put their hearts into it. My co-star Kenneth Ma is an actor that is willing to give and take. Plus our surnames are both Ma, we had a comfortable collaboration and are such good friends like two brothers."

As for the TV ratings, Steven frankly said it's only a general satisfaction: "The past few weeks remained 26-27 points, but the earlier series with the same 8:30pm time slots had lower ratings too. I anticipate for good ratings in the finale."

He is romantically linked with a bartender from his hometown of Xiamen, China.

Scandal-hit Raymond Lam makes the news again.

Amid fresh scars from the photo scandal with model Pan Shuang Shuang earlier in March, the Hong Kong TVB actor is recently rumoured to have hooked up with another lady, Fang Fang, from Xiamen, China.

Like Shuang Shuang, Fang Fang has sharp features, a voluptuous body, is in her 20s, and loves to take pictures.

The rumoured relationship came to light when Fang Fang posted a number of pictures she took at Raymond's apartment on her microblog, the latest of which was dated August 12. In the pictures, Fang Fang was seen admiring Raymond's trophy from the Ultimate Song Chart Awards.

The actor was said to have met Fang Fang before he started going out with Shuang Shuang. Raymond would reportedly visit Fang Fang's bar upon his return to Xiamen each time. The rumoured couple seemed to be able to get along as they are from the same hometown.

According to media reports, Fang Fang would acknowledge Raymond as her boyfriend whenever they are in the company of friends.

In a series of luxury furniture photos posted in March, Fang Fang wrote "The furniture is in. Aren't they beautiful, hubby?" The captions seemingly hinted on their close relationship and that Raymond had bought new furniture for Fang Fang, after his breakup with Shuang Shuang. The former also confessed on her blog that she is a fan of luxury goods.

Meanwhile, Rose Chan, who was reportedly romantically linked to Raymond, and the actor's former lover Shuang Shuang have both chosen to keep silence on the scandal. The latter said, "I don't know (Fang Fang). As to (Raymond), he is nothing to me."

The actor's management has since refused to comment on the issue.

Before consulting with her management, Filmko, Theresa Fu exposed her past on-going relationship with Him Law that involves beating, breaking up and reconciling. Yesterday Theresa reveals the bruises on her body through a magazine report, which made her company extremely awkward! However, confronted with the chance of getting frozen for her provocation to the company, she knew she was at fault and took the initiative, asking her company to allow a press conference for her public apology. She promises she will never act before she reports again. As for Him Law, he also held a press conference to publicly apologize for the injuries he caused to Theresa. However, he strongly emphasized that he did not beat her nor was he a four-timer.

Yesterday accompanied by her elder sister, Theresa met the press and reveals her hurtful relationship with Him Law is difficult to describe. She declined to comment on her second 'act before reporting' case as she publicly reveals photos of her injuries, but she admitted she felt very guilty of not notifying her company beforehand. Theresa bowed and apologized to her company, in hope for a chance to start a new life.

Heartbroken, relationship is hard to forget

THERESA: First off, I want to say that the issue between Him Law and I, whatever had to be said, I already said it all before. I explained the issue to my Boss, colleagues, family and friends, this incident caused a lot of... (sobs) grief to the people that love me, especially my family. My mom is very heartbroken to see my bruises, I feel very heartbroken myself and I feel very sorry to them!

Prior to this incident, I never told my company, colleagues or family that we got back together. On the day we broke up, something this big happened and they still didn't know because I was afraid they would worry and was very afraid my family would be affected. The relationship between he and I, to me is a heartbreaking thing that is hard to forget, a really heavy burden! Earlier before going to Beijing, I really wanted to drop this burden, and wipe away this shadow.

However, when I exposed this incident, my company and colleagues did not know because I never told them beforehand. I feel really sorry to them because I gave them so much trouble...I promised my company, promised my boss, that I will never let the same thing happen again. In the future, whatever happens, I will first discuss with my company....

Bows and apologizes for personally exposing incident

THERESA: In fact, I knew all along that my boss and colleagues love me. When they found out about this incident, they were very worried...so I really want to say "Thank you" and "Very Sorry" to them. I really am very sorry! From today on, I will not respond to the issue related to Him Law anymore, I do not want to comment anymore, and I hope to start a new life hereafter, focus entirely on my career. Thanks to all the media for the hard work, I know it has been difficult for all of you in the last few days!

Replies with just "sorry" to all questions

REPORTER: Have you recovered from your injuries? Did your company know about you revealing the injuries?

THERESA: (Nods that her injuries are healed) Really sorry, really sorry!

REPORTER: Did you see Him Law just now?

THERESA: Sorry, really sorry!

REPORTER: Will you be going to Beijing still?

THERESA: Thank you all!

REPORTER: Will your company release you?

Theresa did not answer, instead turned and left the press conference.

Him Law, dressed in a T-shirt that has 'CHAOTIC' written on it, appeared a few minutes after Theresa left. Accompanied by a colleague, he sat down for the press conference. He made a public apology for the injuries he caused to Theresa, but stressed that he did not beat her nor was he a four-timer.

Apologizes to Theresa for her injuries

HIM: Hello everyone. As an artist, I should not let personal matters impact any other party, so I owe my company, the media, my family and the people who were innocently dragged into this issue an apology!

REPORTER: Do you owe Theresa an apology as well?

HIM: Ai....Theresa and I had our happiness and quarrels during the time we were together. However, I really don't want to publicly talk about the details, who is right or who is wrong. Ai!

REPORTER: Because you were wrong, so you don't want to make it public?

HIM: I want to say, no matter what disputes there are, the physical injuries I caused Theresa is wrong. Here, I apologize to Theresa! However, I do not admit beating Theresa nor am I a four-timer! This is my last time saying this, and hereafter I just want to concentrate on my work and repay those who support and encourage me.

REPORTER: How do you feel about Theresa making her injuries public? Did this have a great impact on you?

HIM: Regarding my issue with Theresa, I do not want to comment anymore. I just want to concentrate on my work hereafter.

REPORTER: Your image is damaged?

HIM: Don't talk about it.

REPORTER: Have you personally apologized to Theresa?

HIM: I will not comment either, don't talk about it.

REPORTER: Did you see Theresa just now?

At this time, Filmko's spokesperson Ms. Lee responds on his behalf: "They will not meet under Filmko's arrangements".

REPORTER: What is your path like in the future? How will repair your image?

HIM: I will continue working.

Already broke up with Beijing girlfriend

REPORTER: Did you break up with your Beijing girlfriend already?

HIM: She already has a new life, new boyfriend. We broke up already!

REPORTER: Will you ask your company to not let you and Theresa collaborate again?

HIM: This decision is left for my company to decide.

REPORTER: Theresa revealed photos of her injuries in a magazine, were those caused by you?

HIM: I am not talking about anything relating to Theresa and I.

REPORTER: This can further damage your image, you don't need to clarify?

HIM: What I do have to clarify is that I did not beat Theresa, nor am I a four-timer!

With nine film offers that are waiting for him to give the nod to, Nicholas Tse Ting Fung's salary supposedly has reached 18 million. If he took all nine, he would make a mad 162 million.

Ting Fung reportedly already accepted a Derek Yee Tung Sing produced suspense with another Best Actor Lau Ching Wan. Siu Bo could be considered Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi's benefactor. His film LOST IN TIME (MONG BUT LIU) even helped Pak Chi fulfill her Best Actress dream. Unfortunately when Siu Bo invited Pak Chi who just gave birth to Quintus to come back and make THE GREAT MAGICIAN (DAI MOR SHOOK SI) the plan fell through due to scheduling and caused a rift between them. Siu Bo on the other hand has never worked with Ting Fung. Unexpectedly despite unable to land Pak Chi's first film after Pak Chi's second son, today he won Ting Fung's first film after the divorce.

Ting Fung's manager Mani Fok Man Hei said, "Ting Fung has nine scripts to choose from. Siu Bo's movie is very likely, we will have to check the schedule before confirming." She said that yesterday she talked with Ting Fung, who did not appeared to be affected and focused on work. Siu Bo's wife said that the script was very suitable for Ting Fung. Has Siu Bo contacted Pak Chi? She said, "Siu Bo just returned from finishing THE GREAT MAGICIAN. Pak Chi is in Ningbo. They haven't really had any contact."

Pak Chi reportedly after finishing THE LION ROARS 2 (HOR TUNG SI HAU II) will return to Hong Kong to record the theme song for her film REPEAT, I LOVE YOU and prepare for her return to music with a record release. Yesterday morning Pak Chi began work and worked on fight scenes for 12 hours straight. Mainland director Lu Chuan was also working in the studio and came to visit the set. Tourists also cheered for Pak Chi.

Raymond Lam (林峯) concealed his relationship with ex-girlfriend, Mavis Pan (潘霜霜), from the entire Asian region until their bed photos were leaked. Aside from hurting his female fans, the incident also affected the ticket sales of his concert. Despite the Mavis scandal, 31-year-old Raymond threw caution to the wind and dated Xiamen beauty, Angel Fong (芳芳) behind Mavis Pan’s back!

To-date, Raymond and Angel’s relationship has not ended. Angel often slept over at Raymond’s Dynasty Court house, where she took numerous photos and played hostess in the pictures. Allegedly, Raymond dated Mavis and Angel at the same time. Mavis confirmed that she met Angel before and stated, “They broke up in front of me!” Although Raymond and Angel separated on the surface, they continued to meet secretly. Raymond’s [acting skills] can earn him the Best Actor Award!

Since the release of Raymond and Mavis’ bed photos in March 2011, his good image plummeted. Aside from losing a large number of fans, Raymond also lost a role in a mainland series. He lost both fans and money from the scandal. Realizing that the right path was not appearing, Raymond tried his best efforts to remediate. No matter where he appeared, Raymond put on his “Mr. Happy” face and allowed countless photographs. The beverage ad he endorsed will be released soon. Raymond will film Raymond Wong’s (黃百鳴) new big-budget movie, Valiant Legend "忠烈楊家將" next.

Although there was a bright future ahead, Raymond did not change his hardcore ways. Six months have not yet passed and Raymond already forgot about his “love injuries” and he continued to bring women back to his home. Face Magazine discovered that on August 12th, a woman named Angel Fong uploaded several photos on her blog. The background of the photos featured the vast collection of awards that Raymond Lam won over the years, while another photo featured a sled dog [Raymond owned a sled dog]. The photos were obviously taken at Raymond’s house. Although Angel was alone in the photos, she remained at Raymond’s house at 4 AM posting a message on her blog, “I can’t sleep! Let me post a photo for everyone to see!” Angel took the opportunity to boast that she was sleeping over at Raymond’s house.

Taking Frenzied Photos of Raymond’s House

Raymond’s Xiamen girlfriend, Angel Fong, took frenzied photos of his house for her own memories. On August 12th, Angel posted the photos she took on her blog in the middle of the night. Behind Angel stood a wall prominently displaying Raymond Lam’s music and acting awards. One particular award from 2007′s Jade Solid Gold 3rd Quarter was extremely prominent, making it difficult for Raymond to deny [that Angel was indeed at his house]!

Dating Mavis Pan and Angel Fong at the Same Time

In December 2010, while Raymond and Mavis were still heatedly in love, Angel freely visited Raymond’s Dynasty Court apartment and took a photo with his sled dog. In March 2011, prior to the release of Mavis and Raymond’s bed photos, Angel was not officially together with Raymond. In a troubled mood, Angel posted on her blog that she was unhappy and vowed not to update her blog anymore.

After filming The Jade and the Pearl "翡翠明珠", Raymond and Mavis started dating. Due to the release of a batch of bed photos in March, their Raymond and Mavis’ relationship ended. Raymond’s career was threatened while his fans scolded Mavis daily. Half a year later, the scandal died down.

In August, Mavis posted a message about enjoying her current filming project. Shockingly, Raymond’s new girlfriend, Angel Fong, left a taunting message on Mavis’ blog stating, “If you can see that I am here right now…you will regret loving this type of man!” Angel’s message challenged Mavis to look at the photo of her taken at Raymond’s house which was posted on Angel’s blog. Despite Angel openly declaring war, Mavis sealed her lips and did not respond. Mavis only admitted, “They broke up in front of me before!”

Aside from visiting Raymond’s house in August, Angel was also at his house in March this year. She took a photo of Raymond’s music awards and posted them on her blog, apparently eager to boast that she possessed a singer boyfriend! The photo featured the “TVB.com Popularity Award” and the “My Favorite Male Actor Award” that Raymond received at last year’s TVB Anniversary! In addition, Angel placed the “Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Award” that Raymond received in 2009 on a bed and snapped a photo, writing on her blog, “Seize every opportunity to make yourself happy!”

Raymond Alternating Time Between Mavis and Angel

Angel was able to enter Raymond’s house in the midst of recent scandals since they have known each other for many years. An inside source revealed, “Angel and Raymond are both from Xiamen. Angel knew Raymond for a long time, even before he dated Mavis. Although he fell for Mavis, he continued to see Angel behind her back. Since both women did not live in Hong Kong, Raymond thought that by alternating Mavis and Angel’s visits at his home, he will not be found out!”

Since “paper cannot cover fire,” the alert Mavis quickly discovered that something was awry with Raymond. An inside source revealed, “Raymond complained that Mavis knew that he was also dating his Xiamen girlfriend. Although he liked Angel, he did not want to break up with Mavis. Thus, he pretended to break up with Angel in front of Mavis instead.”

Angel Fong is a Gold Digger

Unlike Mavis who came from a wealthy background, Angel worked as a bar girl at a Xiamen bar. Allegedly, Angel had good relations with an influential figure in China and even Raymond was afraid of him. A mainland source familiar with Angel Fong noted that she was greedy towards money and often had Raymond send her designer brand gifts. In February, Angel posted a photo of a Chanel brand condom and vowed to try it when she had the opportunity! To make Angel happy, Raymond gave her lavish gifts, including a Hermes bag and a $120,000 HKD Cartier Baignoire watch.Recently, Angel has been busy renovating her new house, posting, “Hubby, do you think the new decor looks beautiful?”

When the Mavis bed photo scandal occurred in March 2011 , Raymond cried publicly to pretend he was hurt. He was filming Return to the Three Kingdoms and could not avoid the paparazzi at the time, thus he forced tears to look pitiful. In actuality, he continued to keep Angel by his side. Raymond never experienced not having a woman by his side!

Lying With Eyes Wide Open

On March 23, 2011 during the praying ceremony of Return to the Three Kingdoms "回到三國", Raymond was asked by the press to speak about the Mavis bed photo scandal. Raymond forced a heartbroken expression to appear as a victim. He vowed to focus on work and averted his gaze.

“While dating her (Mavis Pan), if I hurt her through and incident or in any manner, I am willing to accept it, even if it were a trap.”

“Even if I were to listen or reflect upon the incident, I will feel pain inside my heart!”

“Each time I reflect upon my beautiful memories that belong to me, I am heartbroken!”

“I just hope that my emotions stabilize so I can work.”

Indulging in your lust is equivalent to hanging a knife upon your head (色字头上一把刀). In an earlier interview, Raymond noted that he will retain distance from the opposite sex, “When I step outside now, I am afraid of taking photos and facing the camera. Whenever a woman approaches me, my guard is up! I am very happy now. My love life is blank. However, work, playing toys and video games, and watching cartoons can also satisfy me!” Although he was afraid of the camera, Raymond continued to pick up women!

Angel Fong Already Married?

After Face Magazine’s expose on the underground relationship between Raymond and Angel was published, Appledaily reported that Angel was already a married woman and that she was only an old friend of Raymond’s from Xiamen. After Face Magazine’s article surfaced, Angel immediately erased all her blog entries and photos online, causing speculation over her actions.

When reporters asked Mavis Pan about Angel Fong, Mavis said, “I do not know who she (Angel) is. I have never seen her before.” (Did Mavis think that Angel may have been a third party in Mavis and Raymond’s relationship?) “He (Raymond) is in the past and no longer means anything to me.”

Raymond was currently filming Valiant Legend in Beijing and could not be reached for comment at the time of the news publication.

The film THE FORTUNE BUDDIES (GAING CHAU FUK LUK SAU) after ten days in release made over 6 million. Two nights ago a celebration was held. Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Yuen Siu Cheung, Wong Cho Nam, Johnson Lee Si Jit, Maggie Cheung Ho Yi, Samantha Ko Hoi Ning and Lam Ha Mei attended. Chi Wai publicly complimented Ko Hoi Ning's potential.

The film had many young actors and actresses. Chi Wai praised Ko Hoi Ning, who had luck with the audience and was hard working. She would not show too much out of the blue and had a clean impression. As for Koni Lui Wai Yi who was linked to him in rumors, Chi Wai said, "She isn't pretty and has no figure so she is the substance school. Every time she comes out she loses. She pushes up randomly for Mr. Hong Kong and gets yelled at, when she hides people talk. (So you hide her?) Her legs are so long, how do you hide her?"

Speaking of the Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi divorce, Chi Wai pointed out that divorce was OK. If they could raise the children together that would be the best. He also said that breaking up was inevitable. If they were unhappy then they should not be together. Fung Chi spent more time apart than together, being together in a circle was a science. Did he feel Fung Chi would reunite? He said that he did not know, nothing was impossible.

Ko Hoi Ning wore a low cut dress, but she said that her figure was not buxom enough. She pointed out that her aunt was the biggest and joked that her chest was like two pomelos. She often stole attention for being sexy, would other female artists be afraid of being at the same events as her? She said that her relationships with female artists were great. Male artists instead did not dare to get near her.
