Sonjia Kwok and Michael Miu in series Men and Women Chooses Residence

Sonjia Kwok and Michael Miu are recently playing as a married couple in TVB new series Men and Women Chooses Residence. It's been two months since they started shooting and rumors started saying that Sonjia have been letting out the love for Michael. Outside of the series, the two are holding hands and dating, forcing Michael's wife Jamie Chik to always have to visit the set to check on them.

Michael sends out people to investigate

Michael and Sonjia were both shooting in different locations yesterday, Sonjia was shooting for a scene in the evening with Linda Chung in Mong Kok, while Michael went back to Tseung Kwan O TVB City to shoot in the studio. As for stirring up rumors again, Sonjia said with a sigh: "I am not responding, the news is so fake, I don't want to help promote their magazine story, I have no comment." Michael did not avoid to respond: "Gun Metal Grey's Team A needs to go out to investigate, find some forensic evidence too...haha! Just treat it as free promotion, just for laughs." Sonjia saw the response and instantly said: "Exactly, as long as everyone knows what's going on, I still have to marry!"

Used to seeing such 'storms' Michael was completely unaffected by the rumors. Yesterday he continued to have a heartwarming time with his wife Jamie, he said over the phone: "Jamie isn't mad, actually she's more worried about affecting Sonjia. We are married couple in the series, but at first my collaboration with Sonjia was very strange, she honestly told me that it is really pressuring to work with me because in the past she always had negative rumors with her male co-stars. So usually she would not dare to go near me. I told her not to worry, usually when we are working I always tell Jamie to comr join us for our meals, to make Sonjia feel more comfortable."

Jamie Chik helps out on the explanation

Besides Michael was his wife Jamie, she helped out and said over the phone: "I knew Sonjia for over 10 years. When she first entered the industry, she was a spokesperson for an eye glasses store, I felt that this girl was very gentle and speaks quietly. It's a pity that she's always getting negative news." Jamie then teased Michael in a 'dai sei' manner that he likes to hold people's hands. She joked: "He even holds the hair combing lady. When I'm shooting a series and I hold the leading actor's hand, should Michael be so pissed off like a jumping live shrimp?"

For these reasons, the series is naturally going to draw attention, the first episode was broadcasted last night receiving 30 points in ratings, approximately 1.91 million viewers.

Felix filming TVB series again is becasue he gets to collaborate with Michael again. Though he is not worried about the ratings, but yesterday after learning of the ratings, he immediately went on Weibo to spread the good news. Felix said: "My mullet performance, TV ratings allow me to put down the big rock, I feel even more excited than winning the lottery. He needs to prostate on the ground to thank everyone for the support."

Felix's acting was praised by viewers, however, a Neitzen felt that Felix's role as Stone Sek Tung Sing life experiences resemble the male lead from American series Life. The similarities lead to suspicions of plagiarism. In Gun Metal Grey, Stone Sir was charged unjustly and spent 15 years in prison. Then he had an opportunity to re-open the case with emerge of new evidence and won his freedom. After his release from prison, he returned to the police force and is determined to investigate who the real murderer for his case 15 years ago. The storyline is ver similar to the investigator from Life, the main lead Crews spent 12 years in prison for an unjust charge, but was eventually released, returned to the police force and catch up with the time he missed all those years. Stone Sir and Crews' roles are very similar. Neitzens pointed out that both Stone Sir and Crews' wife left with another man. Despite the plagiarism suspicions, there are also many Neitzens who greatly support Gun, they felt that it's only the theme that is similar, the most important is the story development and the case is different.

Also, stepping into the third week, the other anniversary series No Regrets received 33 points, peaking at 35 points for episode 11's broadcast last night.

Fala Chen collaborates with Simon Yam and Michael Miu in new movie (撕票風雲) (Black Ransom). It will be airing on January 7th 2010. This time Fala gives up on sex appeal and changes into police uniform. She appears as a tough CSP (Chief Superintendent of Police) in the movie to give the audience a refreshing feel. She said "I gained a lot from playing this role. I also received a lot of support for my role as Laughing Sau earlier. I feel this role is very fresh yet professionals such as Simon and Michael give me acting tips. I have learned a lot from them". There is one scene where Qu Ying takes Fala hostage. Fala nearly injured her neck during that scene. "Qu Ying held my neck and was walking backwards. But perhaps she skidded and didn't let go of my neck, I felt a moment of not being able to breathe".
