Last year Leila Tong became a mother and in just a blink of an eye, her daughter is already 1 year old. Although she usually has to look after her daughter and work at the same time, she enjoys this kind of life. She said: "My time management is fine, my personal time and work schedule is pretty ok. If I don't have to work, I would take care of my daughter myself, but when I have to work, I leave her with a babysitter." She frankly expressed when she first had to part from her daughter, she felt uncomfortable: "At first, I really missed her and sometimes I would look at her photos. One time, I had to leave HK for several weeks, I was so reluctant to leave my daughter behind. However, now with the advanced technology, I can see her any time over the internet and this actually helps me concentrate more on work. Then, I'm able to get off work earlier and get home to see my daughter sooner."

Leila teaches her daughter each and every day as she grows, she said: "Currently there are a lot of things that starts from zero, like I would teach my daughter to wash her hands after using the restroom, let her get used to it. She is starting to talk, but whatever she sees, she would shout Daddy, it's really funny." She also reveals her daughter is a girl that can really eat, especially the milk powder brand Illuma. She has to have greater portions of it: "She can really eat, perhaps because the formula I'm using is really good, giving her some appetite. My daughter is quite heavy now."

Also, Leila has switched over to Ricky Wong's CTI and will be starting a new series later this month. It's been a long while since she's been in a series, so she is very excited and anxious at the same time. She said: "I've been 'hungry' for a period of time because I stopped shooting series several years already. Fans are worried I'm only doing theater and won't do TV series anymore. This year I'll get back to shooting TV series, very happy and excited." She wants to let audience see the mature side of her, she said: "I was too limited in the last 10 years, many people think I'm a little girl, so I hope to portray roles that are more mature."

TVB's Mr. Hong Kong Contest has stirred up many controversial topics in the previous years. This year, TVB announces the show will be put on hiatus for a year and when the show comes back, the direction of the contest must be clearly thought out first.

TVB's Director of Production Sandy Yu expressed yesterday the Mr. HK hiatus decision was made when she returned to TVB. "Since the first Mr. Hong Kong in 2005, this is the 7th year. There has been a lot of reactions in society, I don't know if the future of Mr. HK Contest will be high or low, meaning if there is going to be any 'explosions', entertainment or elegance. Since there is no balance between poor taste and elegance, then why not go on hiatus." She believes there are many other shows that could be produced, and what she really wants to produce is a contest for the heroes in law enforcement: "Like the firefighters or police officers that are heroes in the hearts of audience. I've mentioned this idea to a related party before, but the person thought I was joking. I will try my best to make it happen."

When speaking of Ricky Wong poaching the TVB staff, Sandy reveals TVB will be hosting a large-scale recruiting event in the summer to train new talents. As for poaching her old iCable colleagues? Sandy expressed: "I don't dare to say, but if possible, probably would go for it."

Matthew Ko was the first Mr. HK, followed by Francois Huynh, Benjamin Yuen, William Chak and last year's Clayton Li. However the group of Mr. HK winners have just had a mediocre career development, no one has made a breakthrough yet.

It was rumored Kevin Cheng had a nasty attitude and pretended to be a Big Brother while shooting TVB series Gloves Come Off. He treated the other artists rudely. His co-stars Kenny Wong and Nancy Wu attended an environmental friendly car promotional event and defended the TV King.

Kenny denied that Kevin was trying to pretend to be the Big Brother: "Why would he be older than me? I am older. When we were shooting the boxing scenes, we both had suggestions and opinions to share. I had suggestions too and perhaps there is some misunderstanding there." He expressed they often joke around and are in good terms. He has also never heard of anyone cussing out someone, the most rough language used was : "You bad boy, hit so hard."

Nancy also didn't believe Kevin was pretending to be a Big Brother. Instead, she greatly praised Kevin for becoming more open in the recent years and isn't as cool as before. "Perhaps there are some scenes is gets really agitated, and that caused the misunderstanding. Kevin has become more open in the recent years, often joking with us all. He even smiles more often now." It was rumored Sin Ying Ho [and Gregory Lee's father Sing Yeh] said Kevin was pretending to be a Big Brother, Nancy does not believe Master Sin would say such thing.

Nancy praised the attractive 5-seater new model. It was said a 5-seater is not enough for her 7 rumored boyfriends. Nancy laughed: "Just shove the other two in the back trunk. In fact, among the 7 rumored boyfriends, only Deep Ng and Kenneth Ma were true!"

Last year, TVB artists Yoyo Chen and Vincent Wong carefully chose their wedding date to contain eight ones (11/11/2011 @ 11am). Following the marriage, Yoyo announced her pregnancy and lived a secluded life since, awaiting to welcome a new life into the world. All along, Yoyo hoped to have a natural delivery, and often practiced her breathing by doing simple exercises at the park. However, the other day when she went for her pregnancy checkup, there were signs that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck. The soon-to-be parents were extremely worried, but immediately followed the doctor's suggestions and went into labor right away via C-section to ensure the safety of the baby.

Yesterday morning, Yoyo was accompanied by Vincent into the delivery room and went into labor half a month early then the expected due date. Fortunately everything went smoothly, Yoyo gave birth to a 6 pounds, 2 ounces baby girl yesterday morning at 9 am. The baby girl is considered light, but she is healthy. In the next several days, Yoyo can also be discharged from the hospital.

Becoming a father, Vincent, was extremely nervous when he left the hospital and couldn't sleep at all. When he personally help his daughter cut the umbilical cord, he was so nervous his hands were shaking. When asked which one of the parents (Yoyo or Vincent) does his daughter resemble more of? Vincent smiled sweetly: "Both! Her eyes are big and lots of hair, just like her mom. Her ears also resemble mom. She has long hands and legs, that is like me! (Have you given her a name yet?) Fung Shui Master Lee Ching Chak will be responsible for that."

As a father for the first time, Vincent expressed he was very emotional and teared up. However, when he witnessed his beloved daughter coming into this world, he felt that it was all worth it: "I was so touched, my eyes were watery. I was video taping the entire process in the delivery room. Watching my daughter born, my fatherly love came right out. My wife is usually really afraid of getting shots, she grabbed onto my hands the entire time and was shaking, while I kept giving her encouragement and support. (How will you reward your wife?) I plan to give her a car, convenient to take our daughter to school in the future."

When asked if the couple has plans to have more babies? Vincent expressed to let nature take its course: "I saw how difficult it was for my wife, I feel reluctant too, but if we can bear the burden, then we are willing to have another child!" In the recent month, Vincent had to work, and will start a new series next month. However, he smiled and said he has been practicing baby caring skills all along: "Feeding milk or changing the diapers, these fundamentals isn't hard for me, but my wife is going into deep research, she's gonna teach me! I've been pretty busy lately, so I've told the producer to give me some time to be with my wife and daughter, hope to have more time together."

The name Jia Wai Nam (賈偉南) might not sound familiar to Mainland TV audiences, but just mention a few of the series that he served as screenwriter or copy editor for and most likely many audiences will be very familiar. In Hong Kong, Jia Wai Nam is considered a ‘golden’ scriptwriter. Going as far back as the 1980s, some of Jia’s works include “Love and Passion” 《萬水千山總是情》and “The Duke of Mount Deer” 《鹿鼎記》; in the 1990s, his series include “The Breaking Point”《今生無悔》, “Detective Investigation Files I to IV”《刑事偵緝檔案》, “Untraceable Evidence I & II” 《鑑證實錄》to name a few – all of these works had set off a ratings tidal wave back when each series aired in HK and later on became popular airing series in Mainland as well. In 2009, Jia Wai Nam’s mega production costume drama “Beyond the Realm of Conscience”《 宮心計》created a ‘ratings miracle’ when it broke TVB’s ratings record held for several years by Korean series “Jewel in the Palace”《大長今》[TN: “Jewel in the Palace” aired on TVB’s Jade Channel in 2005].

Recently, TVB has been plagued by a severe drought in artists and behind-the-scenes personnel, many of whom had left to pursue better opportunities -- Jia Wai Nam was among one of those who left TVB to head up North (Mainland) to ‘dig for gold’. On 4/24, our reporter interviewed this ‘golden’ producer.

Even though he has already shifted his career to the Mainland, Jia Wai Nam frankly expressed that his Mandarin is still at that “cannot speak it and can’t really understand it” stage – nevertheless, this has not affected his confidence in developing his career in the Mainland. During the interview, Jia Wai Nam reveals much insight about the differences filming series in HK (aka TVB) versus Mainland China. He also expressed that “from this moment on, I need to throw aside the issue of ratings and work on productions that I truly enjoy.”

Left TVB because he felt ‘tired’

No longer a TVB employee, Jia Wai Nam is currently a free lance scriptwriter. It’s precisely because of this freelance ‘status’ that he dared to bluntly point out the various ‘maladies’ that exist within TVB currently. During the interview, Jia Wai Nam unhesitatingly expressed that the series “Beyond the Realm of Conscience” -- which once broke ratings records – is actually the work that he dislikes the most. Coincidentally, it was precisely this series that served as the ‘catalyst’ for Jia Wai Nam leaving TVB and shifting his career to Mainland.

R = Reporter
J = Jia Wai Nam

R: You’ve worked as a scriptwriter at TVB for many years already and most of your works have had good results. What triggered your desire to leave the company?

J: I’ve worked at TVB for 30 years already. I chose to leave primarily because I felt tired, bored, and wanted a change in environment. But if we were to look in-depth at the more specific reason, it’s really because I’ve been unhappy these past few years working at TVB and the ‘adaptability’ with some of the producers have not been too smooth. [TN: The article uses the term ‘磨合’ which refers to the ‘familiarity and adaptability between 2 organizations / parties’].

R: It’s said that the series “Beyond the Realm of Conscience” was the direct reason for why you left?

J: Yes. That was a work of mine that I truly disliked, as some parts of the storyline were setup in a way that was very unrealistic. I suggested some changes to the producers, however they did not accept it. That’s the way TVB is – the production department always comes first and those of us in the creative department [scriptwriters] are required to adhere to the production department’s ideas. I felt that I did not get the respect that I deserved. When I finished this series, it was around the time that TVB was experiencing internal unrest – I thought about it for a long time and finally, in September 2011, I submitted my resignation and left the company.

R: Recently, there have been many reports of artists as well as behind-the-scenes personnel leaving TVB one after the other. How is the current situation with them?

J: In HK and the rest of the world, TVB can be considered one of the biggest Chinese language television stations. With such a big company, there will undoubtedly be some unreasonable policies that exist – this is something that as employees, there is no way of avoiding. Whether artists or behind-the-scenes crew, if they feel unhappy in that environment, it’s natural for them to leave. Looking at it from a different perspective, it’s actually a good thing. In recent years, TVB has encountered the forceful onslaught of the Mainland China television series market, with its effects extending even to HK – this has caused TVB to completely rethink the direction of their television business.

Of course, whether artists or behind-the-scenes personnel, one of the biggest reasons that many of us decide to leave HK for the Mainland is because of the higher pay. The TV series market in Mainland China is huge, resources are plentiful, and investors have a lot of options – as the saying goes, it’s normal for people to head for someplace higher with more opportunities.

Ratings do not determine quality

Since shifting his career to the Mainland, Jia Wai Nam has received quite a few work offers. In terms of developing his creativity in the Mainland, his thoughts are: “The space for creative development here [in the Mainland] is far greater than in HK.”

Jia Wai Nam expressed that if his career development goes well in the Mainland, he will consider continuing it. However, even if it doesn’t go well, he is not worried, as he can always go back to HK and live a relaxed life in retirement. Making a decision at his age to shift career paths, Jia Wan Nam admits that he does not have much to worry about.

R: Now that you’re here in the Mainland, what are your plans?

J: Serving as a scriptwriter for series back in HK, whether the series turns out to be good or not is determined entirely by the ratings. Actually, in my mind, ratings are not a clear indication of a series’ quality or lack of it. It’s unfair to say that a series is bad or below average just because the ratings are low – on the flip side, it’s also unfair to say that just because a series has high ratings, it’s an outstanding or above average series. Take “Beyond the Realm of Conscience” for example – its ratings were tremendously high, to the point of creating a ‘ratings miracle’, yet all this time, I’ve never felt that it was a good series.

Here in the Mainland, many of the ‘bosses’ investing in the television industry are very open-minded. Perhaps because the market is so huge and there are a lot of options in terms of TV stations, they [Mainland investors] are less concerned about ratings, which makes my work less restrictive. Compared to working at TVB, I feel that I have a lot more freedom now. From this moment on, I need to throw aside this ‘obstruction’ (the ratings) and truly focus on creativity – this is the only way to produce truly good [high quality] works that are not just about sensationalism.

R: What do you feel are the differences between Mainland and HK TV series?

J: The difference is not that huge. As long you have good artists, a good script with engaging storyline, and are able to achieve the task of ‘entertaining’ audiences, the series will still become popular after being released into the market. However, one thing to note is that Mainland TV series are generally more ‘straight’ (正) in that there has to be a main theme that drives things forward. This means that during the creative process, it’s necessary to first think about when the series is released, what type of lessons audiences will learn from it, then from there develop the storyline. HK series are very different in this aspect, as the series there follow more of a ‘fast-food’ type culture – you develop the storyline based on the audience’s tastes and only at the end do you think about what it brings to the audience.

R: What are some of the differences between Mainland audience’s tastes and preferences versus HK audiences?

J: To be honest, I’ve never done any specific or purposeful research related to this subject. In my opinion though, as long as the series is able to satisfy audiences ‘after dinner’ entertainment need and they feel the series is ‘digestable’, it doesn’t matter whether the audiences sitting in front of the TV are from HK or Mainland – they will still find great enjoyment from it. In terms of cultural differences, I actually don’t feel that it creates to huge of an impact.

Mainland TV actors, admires Hu Jun the most

Throughout the interview, Jia Wai Nam told the reporter a few times that he has not watched very many Mainland series, yet when the reporter brought up the subject of popular series currently airing in Mainland, Jia Wai Nam blurted out: “The Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan”《甄嬛传》right?” Jia explained that he had actually watched a few episodes of “Legend” and felt that the palace fighting scenes in there were pretty good, however in the end, he gave up on watching it – the reason is because he is currently working on a script with a similar Qing palace theme. In this type of situation, he would purposefully avoid watching series with similar subject matter to prevent the ideas from those series staying in his mind and affecting his ability to come up with new ideas.

At the end of the interview, Jia Wai Nam chatted with us about a few of his favorite artists.

R: At TVB, which artists do you admire most?

J: Out of the ‘newer’ generation at TVB, I feel that Bosco Wong (黃宗澤), Tavia Yeung (楊怡), and Fala Chen (陳法拉) have the biggest possibility of success because I feel that they have great potential when it comes to performing. Also, I like artists who are straightforward when it comes to expressing themselves. A lot of people say that Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎) has a bad temper when he’s filming, but in reality, he’s just very straightforward and direct. During the filming of “Beyond the Realm of Conscience”, whenever he [Kevin] felt that a part of the storyline was unreasonable or didn’t make sense, he would directly give his feedback to the scriptwriters. I feel this is the type of artist that will help the quality of TV series continue to get better – if everyone always just went about their way politely and not say anything, we as scriptwriters would never be able to see the flaws in the storyline and try to fix them.

R: How about in the Mainland? Who do you feel has most potential? Who would you like to collaborate with the most?

J: If I really had to choose, the first actor I wish to work with here in Mainland is Hu Jun (胡军). I’ve seen both his series “Painted Spirit”《畫魂》and “The River Flows Eastward” 《一江春水向东流》—both series are very realistic works that objectively reflect the fluctuation of human emotion as well as societal relationships. Hu Jun’s performance in both series was very lively and real. In addition, I also like Guo Xiao Dong (郭晓冬) as well as Hu Ge (胡歌) – I’ve watched both “The New Marriage Era”《新结婚时代》as well as “Legend of the Immortal Swordsman” 《仙剑奇侠传》 and enjoyed both of them a lot. I actually have more of a leaning toward Yu Zheng (于正) works in terms of subject matter, so collaborating with them [Gua Xiao Dong and Hu Ge] would be most suitable.

Lo Hoi Pang yesterday appeared on a Metro Radio interview.  Brother Pang with LIFE WITHOUT PRINCIPLE (DUET MING GUM) won the Hong Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actor.  Did he get a raise after the award?  He asked reporters, "Do you feel I should get a raise?  People give it when they like to."  Brother Pang said that now he is working on two movies and is very busy.  Would he consider making a television series?  He said that television work was very tough, making a movie was better as he would not have to toil too much.  He admitted that he would like to retire so he would not make another television series.

As for this year's Hong Kong Film Award results being questioned as fixed, Brother Pang said that he did not know he would win that day.  He was working on a movie in the Mainland and someone pulled him out to attend the Hong Kong Film Award.  He said, "If it was fixed I would have taken time off a long time ago to accept the award.  (Many people feel bad for Lau Ching Wan!)  I believe in the voters, not everyone would support (Andy) Lau Tak Wa!"  Did he feel bad for Ching Wan?  He said, "It's not about bad or not, he's just unlucky."

Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Teresa Mo Shun Kwan, Karena Ng Chin Yu and Raymond Wong Pak Ming yesterday attended their new film NAM YUN YU YI FOK (MEN ARE LIKE CLOTHING) press conference in Beijing.  Although Cheng Chung Kei and Sister Mo have not officially started working together, their clothing obviously matched as they both wore jackets.

Aside from Chung Kei and Wong Pak Ming, Raymond Lam Fung will also join the cast.  Director Vincent Kok Tak Siu said that he already tailored a special profession for Cheng Chung Kei's character for his ever changing acting to be on display even more fully.  As "clothing" in the film, actors Wong Pak Ming, Cheng Chung Kei and Lam Fung would get dumped.  The actresses would be male underwear designers and express their understanding of men.

Elanne Kong Yeuk Lam in her new film FAIRY TALE KILLER (JUI HUNG) played an autistic girl.  She grew her hair long enough to reach the ground for the story.  "The hair was very hair, when I stood up my hair kept pulling at my scalp and it was very uncomfortable.  When I walked I needed help from others to pull up my hair so I didn't step on it."

Without any dialogue in the film, Kong Yeuk Lam mainly relied on expression and body language to act.  She said that during the shoot she was moody and lacked any sense of security.  In one scene Kong Yeuk Lam was tied up as she madly screamed.  Even after the director yelled cut she still could not calm down.

Lau Ching Wan, Joey Man Yi Man, director Danny Pang Fat earlier promoted their horror film FAIRY TALE KILLER (JUI HUNG).  The ghost film expert Pang Ho directed FAIRY TALE KILLER abandoned the ghost subject and used instead a fairy tale story to package a murder horror story.

Pang Ho admitted that this time the subject did not involve ghost, of course its inspection was easier.  However this time Pang Ho ran into another problem; he said that the film's original Chinese title SHOK MING TUNG WA (FATAL FAIRY TALE) due to the overly sensitive and border line choice of words received criticism online and from intellectuals who thought children's fairy tale should not be twisted to avoid negative effect on children.

He said, "Many people said that this would destroy the fairy tale world illusion, people are still scolding online.  Anyway, it has been a challenge."  Pang Fat admitted that at first he did not think of this issue, but after consideration he accepted the opinions and finally changed its Chinese title to JUI HUNG.

Lau Ching Wan in the film played a detective and a couple with Man Yi Man.  They had an autistic son as they formed a less than harmonious family.  Ching Wan said that in the film the director arranged for them to constantly argue.  The character did not like his family and disliked his son, which made him unable to work with others at work.  He was an unfit father and husband.

Pang Fat said that when he first wrote this script he very naturally thought of Ching Wan for this role.  Ching Wan was an actor who he really wanted to work with.  Pang Fat said, "The story is more special, no one would think that a fairy tale would be more horrifying than the Bible.  Cinderella and little lamb would kill the wolf."

Man Yi Man worked with Ching Wan in the film.  She said that Ching Wan has always been her idol.  When she first started in the business she posed for wedding shop photos with Ching Wan, which she has held on to even today.  Did Man Yi Man and Ching Wan have any intimate scene?  She said no, in the film they argued the most.

Sherming Yiu and her boyfriend Alan Ng haven't formally registered for marriage yet, but are already holding their wedding banquet first. Yesterday the couple hosted 30 tables at the Ritz Carlton Hotel inviting friends and family. Sherming appeared in a sexy deep-V wedding dress and revealed her 'career line'. Her dress was accompanied by jewelry and accessories valued over HK$5 million and also her flashy 1.5 carat wedding ring. Sherming reveals she'll be holding another 100 table 'poon choi' banquet on the 29th and then the couple will be heading to Las Vegas to register for marriage.

Yesterday the bridesmaids was made up of the group called 'Precious Five Sisters' -- Toby Leung, Janet Chow, Margaret Chung, Angela Tong and Charmaine Sheh. Pinky Cheung and Emily Kwan, along with many others attended in low-cut dresses as well. Other guests that attended included Eric Tsang, Alex Fong (Chun Sun), Annie Man, Timmy Hung, Cutie Mui and Evergreen Mak.

That afternoon, during the 'bride pickup' ceremony, Angela Tong was very fierce, first putting packing tape on Alan's underarms and then vigorously pulled the tape off, helping him remove his underarm hair and then she put 'fur tape' around Alan's mouth. The situation was quite miserable for Alan. Later, she put a bunch of Sherming's photos on the ceiling and wanted Alan to go up on kiss each one of them.

Alan directly said he's suffering the maximum mistreatment: "So miserable, I still have to chug down a drink that contains sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, wasabi, wine and bananas." Sherming was asked if she feels heartbroken seeing this? She said: "Its OK. That's how he'll know how to cherish me, it's not that easy to marry me! (Any plans to have children?) I can at anytime. (You're pregnant?) I hope so too. If I do, I fear I won't able to keep the secret for 3 months before announcing the good news to everyone!"

Sherming was asked if she's worried her husband might get 'tortured' again at the next wedding banquet? She said: "So, we have to get Angela Tong drunk as soon as possible, then nothing will happen. (Tell Chin Kar Lok to come?) I invited him too, but he has to work. I'm truly worried without him here. If he's here too, Angela may not be as crazy, and be more of a nice girl."

Sherming exposed earlier she treated her "Precious Five Sisters" on a trip to Taiwan, when asked if they visited the 'cowherd inn' (men brothel)? She said: "No, Charmaine knows too many people." Sherming expressed she and her husband have been dating for several years and have consensus, the most important is to understand how to tolerate the weaknesses of one another and to mutually admire the strengths.

Angela did everything she could to 'torture' the groom Alan, when asked if she's worried they might take revenge on her? She said: "Does it have to be that serious as to take revenge? He already glared at me. I know Sherming is afraid of armpit hair, so I'm just helping him shave it all off, so she'll be more comfortable tonight." Toby Leung standing besides her, exposed all the games were actually designed by the bride herself.

Eric Tsang regards Sherming as his daughter, and was asked what type of wedding gift did he give her? He said: "I'm her biggest gift. Tonight, not going home if not drunk. My daughter is getting married, there's not many left. (How about Charmaine?) She isn't in a hurry to marry, she's playing hard to get." Emily Kwan claimed she's a Sing Lui and won't be able to get married, but Eric exposed: "It's her turn soon, last year she started dating. Eric then joked and praised Sherming's husband: "Holland boy is just so Man."

Natalie Tong had always gone down the filial girl path. In her new series Gloves Come Off, she plays Raymond Wong's girlfriend, the two will go through three phases from dating to marriage and finally to having a baby. She frankly expressed the majority of her roles in the past were young See Mui or younger sister roles. This time, her role goes from a young girl to a mature woman. She said: "This role is different from the previous young girl roles I had. Before I played a young girl because I really was a young girl then, but in the last two years I have matured a lot, and have reached to another level in my acting. When I was shooting this series, I had great emotional changes."

First time shooting a bed scene, Natalie gives it all she got and will show some skin with Raymond Wong. She said the bed scene this time is her limit as to how sexy she gets. Natalie expressed: "That was the last scene, and the director told me before that I won't have any clothes on. I thought he was just joking, but when we started shooting it, he wasn't joking. It was just the private parts of the body was covered with tape. This is my first time revealing so much." She expressed if she had to do a bikini catwalk, she would definitely turn it down, but since its necessary for the show, she can accept it.

When asked if she'll be an unmarried mother? Natalie said: "Actually in today's society, do we really have to have that marriage certificate in order to have a baby? To me, that piece of paper is not that important, but actually what's more important is if two people can really live the rest of their lives together."

Natalie said her current love life is completely empty, fate will naturally come when its time. She does, however, have several pursuers, but no one of them are suitable for her. She said: "When I was younger, I went to meet people with a blank mind, but now two people will have to chat a bit before finding out if the relationship will work out. I really want to find my Mr. Right, someone that is truly right for me. However, leave it to fate. I'm not rushed at all."

Yesterday Ron Ng appeared with a wig for the shooting of the beer brand BLUE ICE printed Ad. Since his last commercial appearance in 2005, where he said 'Mai Fei Fat' (My Favorite), Ron was criticized to have poor English and hasn't been seen on a HK commercial until today. Yesterday he and a Western photographer were working together on the shoot and had no problem communicating. He said: "I don't have a fear to speak English, I can still communicate with Westerners. If anything gets too difficult, I will go ask someone to help me. (Help wash away the 'Mai Fei Fat'?) I didn't say it wrong, that time the Boss allowed the commercial to go on air because he thought it was fine. (Rumored girlfriend Viann Zhang helped you improve your Mandarin?) We communicate using Mandarin, but I learned my Mandarin from my assistant. (When will you announce Viann's identity?) Huh? Work comes first, when the time is right, I will say it. (When you decide to get married?) Earn enough money for marriage first. If can't wait, then I'll just go find someone else."

When speaking of TVB music producer Tang Chi Wai's concert ticket sales aren't doing too well, Ron said: "I don't think so right? There are so many singers in on it together. When Raymond [Lam] has his concert, it gets extreme. I trust Tang Chi Wai has his abilities and talents. (Singer Roy Chow said he won't go to the concert if the tickets are free?) Each individual have their own choices, but my family was fighting for the tickets, I purchased 10-20 tickets myself. (Treat Viann Zhang to the concert?) Tell her to buy her own ticket!"

Kenneth Ma attended a fashion store opening yesterday. Regarding ex-girlfriend Nancy Wu called the "New Generation Flirt" ('Hau Jing'), constantly putting out the 'sparks', Kenneth supported and defined his ex: "It's just for the latest series promotions. (You seem to be really paying attention to Nancy?) That series (Gloves Come Off) has Kevin Cheng in it too, of course I have to watch. I do, however, know that Nancy has a very challenging role in this series, as the mute/deaf female boxer. (Will you mind if you're used as promotions?) I don't mind, there needs to be some noise when a series is out. As long as it's not too over, then it's fine. However, I feel it's hard for Nancy to replace Charmaine Sheh's Big Sister position. (Nancy isn't flirty enough?) Actresses should have that quality, that's how they attract male fans. (Her 'flirt' skills aren't as good as Charmaine?) I haven't seen Charmaine's skills yet." He implied he was once 'electrocuted' by Nancy and that's how they became a couple. When asked if he has been 'electrocuted' by anyone else lately? He joked: "I wish."

Tam Yuk Ying has been a TVB children's program host for 30 years today. From 430 SPACE SHUTTLE, FLASH FAX, KIDS CLICK to the currently running AFTER SCHOOL, countless children have grown up with Tam Yuk Ying. TVB yesterday held a special celebration for her and invited the hosts from the first generation to now including Margie Tsang Wa Sin, Luisa Lai Chi San, Meini Cheung Mei Nei, LuLu Kai (Koi Sai Bo), Ellesmere Choi Chi Kin and Patrick Tam Kin Won. The first generation host Cheung Kwok Keung appeared when she cut the cake and embraced her, which brought tears to her eyes. Although other partners like Stephen Chow Sing Chi, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Dior Cheng Yi Kin and Athena Chu Yan did not attend, the event cut together a video over the years for review.

After 30 years at TVB, Tam Yuk Ying switched to children's program after only a year as an artist and has host for 30 years. Among many who have worked with her, she said that Sing Yeh, Wai Jai and Ekin are all famous now so the media would constantly ask her about them. Yet Tang Kin Won left her with the deepest memory because at first his acting truly was too "gross". However he very quickly improved a lot. Many partners pointed out that she was very serious at work so they rumored that she was very mean. She said, "You really have to ask them, actually I speak too fast. When somebody does something wrong I would immediately say it." She admitted that she did not particularly like children and thus would not hold them like other partners. Sing Yeh back then constantly had fun at the expense of children, was he the one who disliked children the most? She said, "It's not like he didn't like children, he only treated them like children."

After hosting children's program for 30 years, did she get rich from all the shows? She said that earlier she indeed worked a lot of overtime, but she did not get rich. She only had enough money to live on her own. Has she thought about how many more years she would host? She said, "30 years ago I never thought about working for 30 years, I haven't thought about the future either. Ultimately work is a lot of fun now. (Would you like to act?) The company once asked me to switch departments, but I like early to bed, early to rise and leave work on time." Actually she has worked on series before, even worked until early morning when the temperature dropped to a single digit. Without any boat to outlying islands she had to hide in the bathroom to avoid the cold, which made her afraid of working over night. As for her love life, she admitted that it was very full. At her age she did not think about marriage or children.

Tsang Wa Sin and Leung Chiu Wai host 430 SPACE SHUTTLE together, but she joined later than Wai Jai. She said that she remembered wearing the astronaut suit for the program the most. She also constantly played pranks on Lung Bing Kei with Sing Yeh, even pointing that Sing Yeh would only play pranks on certain people. Back then because she was mean enough Sing Yeh never dared to mess with her. Wa Sin also said that she admired Tam Yuk Ying very much and thought that she could apply to be in the Guiness's Book of World Record. Tang Kin Won joked that back then she thought Tam Yuk Ying was very pretty, but after Chu Yun joined he moved on. Speaking of Tam Yuk Ying was rumored to be very mean, he supported her as very positive. She only wanted to spur everyone on and never really yelled at anyone.

Niki Chow and Michael Tse's new series Sergeant Tabloid hasn't broadcast in Hong Kong yet, but its been a popular hit overseas, like on the Mainland streaming site PPS. It was understood that Michael's TVB contract ends late 2012, and to push him up for the TV King title this year, TVB is currently prepping for a sequel. TVB also hopes to sign Niki to become a contracted artist with this sequel.

Sergeant Tabloid had just completed shooting late February 2012 and already in April, the series was widely released overseas -- Malaysia's Astro On Demand, Australia's TVBJ channel and Mainland's streaming site PPS -- because the overseas buyers had great confidence on this series. TVB then decided to first schedule an overseas release.

According to a TVB staff member: "Many of the series are done this way (warehoused), but this is our first time collaborating with a Mainland website. The overseas buyers had pretty good feedback on the series, so even before the completion of filming, it was already scheduled to release. The cast didn't know the series would release overseas first. Initially, we all thought someone stole the series too, it's funny."

Mainland streaming site PPS aired the series first and started the Sergeant Tabloid surge to popularity: "Never thought the series would become a hot topic among Netizens that fast. HK Golden and other discussion forums have been very actively discussing. In fact, this series is considered one of the high budgeted productions, many explosion and gun fight scenes, so should have good reception."

On the other hand, Michael's contract ends later this year, and TVB hopes to keep Laughing Gor with them, so they are actively coming up with plans.

"It is currently the war period. There are less and less Siu Sang and FaDans around. Of course Michael can't leave! TVB saw that this series had positive response, so they're keeping up the momentum and hopes to help Michael get TV King this year. Also, TVB really wants to sign a management contract with Niki. In fact, it has long been in the works, but just never happened, so even if Sergeant Tabloid hasn't broadcast in HK, the sequel is already in the making. Ideally, the sequel must have the original cast, they even said they'll wait for Niki to see TVB's sincerity." A TVB staff discloses.

Regarding the TVB contract, Niki's manager responded: "TVB had always treated Niki very well. As to if she's a 'daughter' (contracted) or not, that is very secret stuff. It's not convenient for me to disclose."

As for her series being a popular hit even before the actual broadcast, Niki said: "I'm very happy. I just finished recording the theme song with Michael. I hope the series airs in HK as soon as possible! (TVB is already prepping for the sequel!) Of course it's good to have a sequel. It would best if there is a film version too, but we'll see how TVB arranges it!"

In the recent year, Jessica Hsuan started her career development in China, opening up her market and value there. She is often attending both large and small scale events in China. Earlier she was invited to take part in a Mainland event where she visits a cosmetic surgery hospital with fans. However, that Hospital immediately made good use of Jessica for promotions on their official website. The Hospital showed her nice curve and figure, implying she got a boob job and shows signs of intentions to mislead visitors of the site.

Although that Hospital didn't directly say Jessica got a boob job, but in one article, the caption says Jessica's figure was previously mediocre, but in her recent TV series appearances, she suddenly had a cup size increase. On the website, it also said as long as you experience the Hospital, you can uncover the mystery of celebrities doing plastic surgery. Jessica just wanted to make some money in Mainland, but she miserably gets taken advantage of. It would be a lie if she wasn't upset! Although Jessica already pocketed the appearance money, she still decided to give it back and won't be attending the event next month.

Jessica wrote on Weibo: "To all fans, I may not attend the event in Suzhou on May 12th .... the reason is because we will be visiting a cosmetic surgery hospital and that Hospital actually went as far as saying that I got a boob job on their website! For promotions, they can tell such a lie. They have absolutely no respect for me! I am extremely angry! With this kind of lie, will anyone dare to go get plastic surgery at such a place? To me, they are big liars!" Good friend Ada Choi immediately replies: "Ridiculous!" Jessica wrote again: "That company has no professional ethics whatsoever! I cannot help these people do business. I already signed the contract, if nothing can be done I will have to go. However, I must let everyone know what type of company they are and to clarify for myself...the event is cancelled. I apologize to all Fans!"

Reporters contacted Jessica, she expressed her manager will handle the refund. She expressed she visited cosmetic surgery hospitals before, but she had never been accused that she got a boob job: "I really dislike them saying I got a boob job and plastic surgery. Their way of doing things is really a problem. I won't do things that are lying to people just to make money. Luckily Fans notified me!" Jessica stressed she advocates for natural beauty, definitely won't get a boob job!

In the recent month, the weather in Hong Kong switches from hot and cold, lots of citizens are catching the flu due to the inconsistent weather, Chapman To included. After being ill for a month, a few days ago Chapman suddenly has a double vision condition, lost of muscle reflexes and even imbalance. Chapman went to see the doctor and was diagnosed with a rare disease called Miller Fisher. It was understood, the most severe case could be paralysis or even difficulty in breathing, leading to suffocation and eventually death.

Yesterday Chapman accepted a phone interview and spoke about his current condition. He said: "Since I live in a single family home, I will be more careful when going down the stairs. This disease is rare in HK, so the doctor drew my blood and sent it to the United States for a lab test and determine how severe my case is. The recovery period should be about 2 weeks to 6 months." Chapman is currently suffering from double vision and tetraplegia (paralysis in limbs/torso), but he optimistically expressed: "Although if this disease is serious, it can be fatal, but its rare!"

Due to Chapman's illness, he had to stop working immediately and cancel jobs, including the trip to The Locamo International Film Festival. Chapman said: "This year I have two films nominated in the film festival The Bounty and Vulgaria. I really wanted to go, but now I can't go!" His manager (Mani Fok) frankly expressed she was frightened when she heard of Chapman's condition. She was very worried and immediately modified his work schedule, turning down all jobs for the next two months, losing about 7 figures!

Chapman said losing 7 figures is not as important, but actually what gives him the most headache is he's affecting the casting process of his latest film Super Manager 超級經理人. He expressed: "Initially I was going to go the Beijing Dance Academy in May to look for new artists, but now I can't go. Such a headache, will have to come up with another plan!"

The person that is most worried about Chapman's condition is his wife, Kristal Tin, but because Kristal is currently in NingBo shooting a series, so she can't be by Chapman's side to take care of him. She is super worried! When reporters phoned Kristal, she was clearly in a confusion. For all the questions asked, she only answered them half way and her voice gave away how worried she was about her husband. She said: "I'm really worried about him! A few days ago when I didn't know what was happening yet, I really wanted to go back to HK immediately, but he told me not to. Now that I know he's sick, I'm worried if he can recover and what makes me most unhappy is that I can't be there to take care of him. But, he comforted me back, and joked that the illness won't affect his brain, so when he recovers he will still be just as handsome and smart. He took a picture of a large pile of food he bought home to eat, and said he knows how to take care of himself. Aiya, but my feelings are even more complicated when he does that."

Chapman's good friends from the industry such as Fiona Sit and Elanne Kong were extremely worried about his condition. They called him to ask about his condition, making Chapman very touched.

The other night, Yoyo Mung was on a radio interview and expressed she's currently cohabiting with boyfriend Ekin Cheng. She frankly expressed she cannot accept long distance love, and supports cohabiting before marriage. She believes this way, the relationship can deepen. She expressed: "Don't look at me on the outside and think I'm strong. In fact, I like to see him everyday because I feel when two people are dating, they should stick to each other. (Consider marriage and have children?) Temporarily no plans. It's tiring looking after a person."

Yoyo exposed when she was 17, she cohabited with her boyfriend at the time, but because her grandmother was living with them, the boyfriend complained. Eventually, she felt he didn't love her as much as she thought, so they broke up. Asked if Ekin had any complaints? Yoyo quickly answered: "No, we have no complaints on each other. Perfect! 100%!
