Linda Chung in new TVB Drama Lucky Fahter

Yesterday, Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣), Steven Ma (馬浚偉), Ha Yu (夏雨) and the rest of the cast and crew held a praying ceremony for new TVB drama, Lucky Father "當旺爸爸". Earlier on, when Linda and Steven were shooting an accident scene for Lucky Father, a passerby thought that an actual accident had occurred and called the police. When mentioned, Linda replied that she felt that the accident scene was probably too realistic, thus misleading people to think that it was real. Linda expressed that she was shocked when the police suddenly arrived at the scene on that fateful day.

Ran Until Feet Hurt When Filming Chasing Criminals Scene

Linda will have romantic developments with three men in the drama and they include Steven Ma, Lai Lok Yi (黎諾懿) and Edwin Siu (蕭正楠). Will she have kissing scenes with all of them ? Linda responded, “Fathers are the main topic of this warm-hearted drama. As romantic love isn’t the primarily focus here, no kissing scenes will likely be imposed. It was rather challenging as this is the first time I’m acting as a policewoman. As I often have to film criminal-chasing scenes, I suffered from a lack of sleep but still had to film from morning until night the very day, running until my legs were numb and in pain.”

Did Linda prefer filming kissing scenes or criminal chasing scenes? Linda laughed and said, “It’s most important for the effect to be good. All three of them are good men.” (Reporter: Which one of them fits your criteria of a boyfriend?) “Each of them have their own strengths. I have the most chemistry with Steven Ma since we have collaborated five times now. Lai Lok Yi is my good friend. Edwin Siu is a nice guy. However, I will not develop with any of them. Acting is purely acting; I keep private life separate from work.”

In other news, Tracy Ip (葉翠翠) was rumored to have turned down TVB actor, Benjamin Yuen’s (韋家雄) pursuit of love. In reply to this, Tracy silently admitted to it, “We previously filmed 4 In Love together and in that drama, his character really likes me. During filming, he was just going into character. After filming, nothing happened between us. We didn’t communicate or even went on any date after that.” Tracy Ip clarified that she did not mind dating shorter guys than herself but preferred that her boyfriend was not from the entertainment circle.

Michael Tse and Kate Tsui in Lives of Omission

TVB series Lives of Omission is currently a popular hit, making Michael Tse and Kate Tsui the target on magazine reports. It was said after Stephen Chan resumed his position at TVB, he plans to boost his favorites Wong He and Wayne Lai up for TV King, shattering Michael's dreams. Kate also asked the producer to new series Schemes of East and West to give her more screen time, so she can defeat Fala Chen. However, her plans failed and therefore she withdrew from the series.


Yesterday Michael and Kate took part in the recording of 全城喜動 in Macau. Towards the related reports, Kate had a big reaction and explained: "Never heard of such thing. This is quite interesting, I did discuss a script and role with Producer Tommy Leung, but because of schedule conflicts, I couldn't take part in the series. (You don't want to collaborate with Fala?) No such thing, why would that be so? We just completed a series together. (Is it not 'if there is her, then there is no you'?) Why would that be? TVB already has a shortage of people, so they are happy when there are more people coming. Perhaps there will be more time to earn some extra money. (Fala is your greatest opponent for this year's TV Queen title?) I know I already have 5 series broadcast this year, but I personally support Myolie Wu. I heard her performance in Queen of All is awesome."


Michael just expressed: "I don't have to comment on this, there are too many of these fabricated news. (Stephen Chan made everyone in TVB split in groups and parties again?) In fact it is not Mr. Chan splitting the groups on his own, it is the public that is helping him do so. I feel that we all have the same goal, and that is to work for TVB."

Sharon Chan as leading role in series Schemes of East and West

Accused of being in the 'Stephen Party', TVB FaDans Sharon Chan and Fala Chen took part in the costume fitting for new series Schemes of East and West with Roger Kwok. Sharon was asked if its because she's Stephen Chan's favorite that she got the opportunity to take on the leading role? Sharon said: "Not related, this series was set several months ago. (Are you a loyal member of the 'Stephen Party'?) He is a good boss, friend and my mentor. He taught me how to be a host. We aren't in any party, just being ourselves." As part of the 'Stephen Party', Sharon sweet talked and thanked Virgina Lok for helping her fight for the opportunity to portray this role. When speaking of it being a benefit to her, now that Stephen is back in TVB? She said: "Didn't think about that. I am already thankful that he's fine. I was worried for a long time because before I was a 'witness' and it wasn't convenient for me to say too much. Now it's a sign of relief. I have SMS him and he replied that everything is going well."

As for Fala, she plays Chung Mo Yim. She expressed she has been mindful of Stephen's return, asked if she's part of the 'Stephen Party'? She joked: "Before they said I was part of the Tsang Jeh party (Catherine Tsang), then the Miss Lok party (Virgina Lok), I have been in all of the parties except for the villain party." Roger Kwok said he congratulates Stephen having new hopes after a disastrous period. He said: "We were familiar for a period before, but later I had to look after my son and shoot in Mainland, so we didn't keep in touch as much."

Also, yesterday Fala started shooting outdoor scenes for the new series and coincidentally encountered Film King Chow Yun Fat, who had paid attention to her performances before. Fala was jumping in joy when she saw him and asked for a photo together to post on Weibo. She wrote: "Fat Gor stood behind me and watched me perform. I worked hard trying to concentrate, aiya, so pressuring!" Koni Lui also got to take a photo with Chow Yun Fat.

Fala Chen and Yuang Cheung in series Lives of Omission

TVB fadan Fala Chen (陳法拉) and newcomer Yuang Cheung (章宇昂) collaborated on a new series for the first time. Fala honestly said that she was deeply attracted to Yuang Cheung’s dancing scene and remarked that this incurred their co-star ‘Dancing King’ Michael Tse’s (謝天華) jealousy. Yuang Cheung who was acting as a villain for the very first time in Lives of Omission <潛行狙擊> was not afraid of leaving a bad impression on viewers and even professed that he hoped to take on more different roles as a challenge to himself.

Fala Chen, who was not familiar with Cantonese language when she first stepped into the industry, got along especially with TVB newcomer Yuang Cheung as they both had the same language-barrier problem initially and had grown up overseas.

New drama, Lives of Omission, marked the first collaboration between Fala and Yuang. Fala even expressed that she was attracted to one of Yuang’s dancing scene in Lives of Omission, “That scene left me feeling surprised. I felt that his preparation and development of character were all good. It (the dancing scene) was so good that Michael and Damien Lau (劉松仁) both gathered to watch. Michael even said that he almost couldn’t stand it any longer and wanted to join in.

If Yuang Cheung didn’t have the capability then he wouldn’t had been able to “agitate” Michael lahs!”

Lucky Enough To Receive Guidance From Seniors

To a newcomer, when filming, the camera’s shooting position, technique of saying dialogues, acting skills and etc has to be learned. Yuang Cheung professed that he was lucky enough to receive guidance from seniors during filming. However, aside from skills on how to film, senior Fala Chen also helped him improve in his Cantonese. Yuang Cheung declared, “I know Fala’s Cantonese wasn’t that good when she first stepped into this industry. Fala urged me to practice more as it wasn’t good to replace with English words when speaking. However, it is much easier when both of us communicate as we both understand what the other party is talking about.”

Unafraid To Act As A Bad Guy

Besides that, Fala also “showed” Yuang the path, informing Yuang of the “rules” one had to obey as a newcomer. As a newcomer in the past, Fala informed Yuang Cheung that one has to rely on his accumulated experience along the way. When acting, one has to know how to keep and release his emotions naturally, to let his character’s realistic personality come out. He must be bold to experiment and cannot be shy.

Acting as a villain in the new drama, Yuang Cheung proclaimed that he was unafraid of leaving audiences with a bad impression, “Well, so long as everyone knows that I’m not as bad in real life. If I only portray as per what my character thinks (and not actually doing those evil things in reality) then I think it should be alright. I will probably be acting something else the next time ’round and hope to have the opportunity to experiment with more different roles in the future.”

Side Note:
Ah K: In case some of you might not know, Yuang Cheung (章宇昂) is the younger brother of Kenny Bee’s notorious ex-wife Teresa Cheung (章小蕙). He has acted before in Dropping by Cloud Nine <你们我们他们> opposite Stephanie Ho. Some background scoop on Yuang Cheung is that unlike Fala who hailed from America, Yuang Cheung came from Canada and is a linguist who speaks English, Chinese, Japanese and French. He entered TVB without his family’s knowledge and did not contact Teresa. There have been rumors that Teresa and Yuang Cheung are half-siblings but unconfirmed as of date.

Ron Ng fight scene in series ATF Terrorism

Ron Ng was shooting a gun fight scene for TVB new series ATF Terrorism at a timber recycling factory. Since Ron Ng was spotted driving rumored girlfriend Viann Zhang home, their relationship already became obvious, even Ron didn't resist from responding to Viann related questions.

Ron expressed when the series officially started shooting, the blessing ceremony wasn't held yet, so he often injured himself. "I carelessly pulled the ligaments on my left leg, fortunately it was not too serious. If I were to undergo surgery, then I need to take 3 months off and that will certainly affect the shooting progress, so I plan to wait until the ligament breaks completely before I go in for surgery. Another time, I injured my eyeball." Asked if rumored girlfriend Viann called to comfort him? Ron said: "Yes! Everyone did, they know from the news." As for the bad terms rumor with Ruco Chan, Ron said without any more air: "The screen time is just about the same, [shooting is] very difficult."

The cast includes Myolie Wu, Kevin Cheng, Jazz Lam, Sharon Chan, Joyce Tang, Sam Lee, and Sek Sau. On the bus, Jazz shouted down to the neighbors that they must remember to support the "brothel", and resulted in scolds by parents on the street that he's a bad influence on children. Myolie immediately explained that the 'brothel' is referring to Sharon Chan's role. Initially the cast was suppose to get off the bus and give out fliers on the street, but unfortunately there were too many people surrounding.

Myolie exposed that Kevin has a scene where he reveals his behind on the first episode. Kevin was asked if he especially worked out for the scene? He said: "How to work out? I really don't know how to. (Good TV ratings will reveal more?) Leave the revealing to Myolie! In fact, I don't really have much expectation for the ratings. If I can foresee it, then I would go buy lottery!"

It was said that because TVB wanted to protect their TV Big Brother status, they are urgently pushing the rumored couples to boost the momentum at the Sales Presentation 2012. The two expressed that they only know there is a "Show Hand Event" in July. Kevin was asked if he minds being arranged to work with ex-rumored girlfriends Charmaine Sheh and Niki Chow again? He said: "Will worry about it when there are actual arrangements because this may not be the plan. It's a matter of opinion whether or not there is gold to suck. (If can earn money, anything is possible?) In fact, there is nothing for me to mind about, it's not the first time." Myolie does not mind working with either Bosco Wong or Kate Tsui. She said: "Best would be for us 3 to be together, and add in Kevin too, that be the best!"

Both Joyce Tang and Stephen Wong were rumored to be in a new relationship respectively, but both denied. Joyce said: "The person in the photos is not a new love interest, just a friend. I currently still single. After all I am currently living a happy life, the only heart breaking event is that my dog that I raised for 19 years passed away." Stephen also denied dating Coffee Lu and stressed that they are just friends.

During the interview, Liu Xuan frankly said that shooting series is more difficult than physical training. She said: "Shooting series is totally more difficult than physical training. At least you have time to rest and sleep when your training, but shooting series there is no time to sleep. There is also a great pressure when during the shoot, which causes insomnia."

There is little chance in changing [sexual] preferences.” (Are you embarrassed?) “I was not embarrassed until the press asked me to reveal my nipples. I never appeared this way before the press before!”

Recently becoming a new father, Raymond Wong said he felt strange holding his newborn son. “We have not decided on the Chinese name yet. I help change the diapers. My wife gives the baby a bath and breastfeeds him. Since we have sponsorship of milk powder, it should not be a problem!”

Sonija Kwok will marry her choreographer Zhu Shao Jie

Rumors said Sonija Kwok's action choreographer boyfriend took special care of her, that's how he touched her heart. Then later rumors said the couple is rushing marriage in April because Sonija is pregnant. But none of them are true. Here we have the actress telling the real story herself. One thing we sure is, it's all fated.

It was reported Sonija and her boyfriend Zhu Shaojie's close interaction on the filming set of Mainland drama "Palace" made them become lovers, but actually they weren't too close at work. Sonija's role didn't require that much action scenes; even if she needed assistance, it was Zhu's assistant choreographer who helped out. So how did they really get to know each other?

"A few days before we were done filming, someone said he would introduce a guy to me," said Sonija. "I joked, 'Okay! Then ask whether he dares to hold my hand!' Since I'm not young anymore, and has some fame, not many people dared to pursue me."

Sonija didn't know the guy she was being introduced to will become her Mr. Right. Although she was introduced to some people the past years, but none were right matches, which made her well-prepared to become a "remaining woman." But this changed when she met Zhu. She dined with him another day and it was quite embarrassing start.

"We didn't know what to say. We said goodbye after the dinner."

Two days after their first dinner together, Sonija had to return to Hong Kong to film a new drama. Zhu was there at the airport and brought her 100 red roses. Who isn't touched by 100 red roses? Because she couldn't bring the flower bouquet to the plane, she only took one flower out. This was when they decided to give it a try.

However, they were experiencing a distant relationship; she was in Hong Kong and he was in other places. Their only communication was via phone, text messages, and Skype. Although it was like that for more than 3 months, but the relationship still went well.

"We had good communications. It felt right. I like how he is just like me, like to stay at home. Plus we haven't date for several years, and have been waiting for a right match, so we hit it off quickly."

After filming new drama "抉擇男女", Sonija finally got to enjoy being in love. She is currently on a vacation with Zhu and even decided to become Mrs. Zhu at the end of the year.

"I went to Mainland and met his family. That day he knelt down with a diamond ring and proposed. I was very moved and dropped tears. He is simple, practical, good to his family, and hardworking. I feel very comfortable loving him. I can say what I want to him. This is the simple happiness."

Sonija is planning out her wedding now engaged to Zhu,. It was originally set to be on April, but she doesn't want to prove the media really guessed it right, so she moves it to at the end of this year.

"We would invite close friends and relatives to our wedding. I don't want to make it like a show. Then we would return to Mainland and have dinner with his family."

Sonija will continue her career as an actress. As for having kids, it's a must to the 36-year-old.

"My mom always urges me to have kids. My fiance loves kids, too," she said sweetly. "So it's hard to not right?"

The couple seem to be fated to be together---they actually met each other already in 2000. Sonija was filming "A Step Into the Past" with Louis Koo and Zhu was the stunt double at that time. They even took a photo together as a group. Who knew they would meet again and even decide to be together?

Charmaine Sheh leave TVB and join Mainland producer

TVB FaDans are getting fewer and fewer. Charmaine Sheh entered TVB in 1997 and finally decided that she will not renew her contract when it expires in May, breaking the 14 year relationship. Earlier, Charmaine went to Mainland to shoot series and caught the attention of a Mainland producer offering her 15 million yuan for two years. Compared to TVB's HK$20,000 per episode, there is a huge difference. In addition, there are many Mainland rich men that are pursuing her. Having a new place for her career and love life, the 35 year old Charmaine decided to leave her 'maternal home' (TVB) and head north to develop.

It was understood that Charmaine gets paid HK$20,000 per episode in a TVB series, but going up north to shoot a series, she gets a 5 level jump in price, the Chinese yuan is easy to earn. Also, Charmaine's TVB management contract is ending in May and it's of great importance for TVB to convince Charmaine to stay. TVB Executive Virgina Lok already started discussing the contract with Charmaine last October, but unfortunately there was no news that they will take a step forward, so Charmaine was unwilling to sign the contract renewal. Eventually, she ended up losing the TV Queen title to Sheren Tang at the TVB Anniversary Awards.

TVB offers 10 million for 2 years

At an event earlier, Charmaine generously admitted that she and TVB are discussing of a contract renewal and blurted out: "The Mainland market is huge, there is a need of many artists. The salary for shooting Mainland series are also very high." It was said TVB wanted to foster this biological daughter and spared no expense offering her 10 million for a 2 year contract, but this price still differed from the Mainland producer's offer. No wonder Charmaine delayed on picking up the pen to sign the contract.

Faked the injury?

Although TVB tried all they could and offered a generous price to keep Charmaine, she clearly already made her decision, so he suggested some contract conditions that a basically hard for TVB to accept, then TVB can back up. Charmaine is not afraid of losing TVB, last month she borrowed her arm injury to withdraw from Miu Siu Ching's Forensic Heroes III. Charmaine said herself she need a break for 6 weeks for medical treatment and was afraid to hold up the filming schedule, so she withdrew. However, earlier when Charmaine was out on the streets, her left arm seem pretty flexible and really was not as serious as she described. For this reason, rumors started that she didn't want to shoot the series, so she faked her injury.

Initially When Heaven Burns was scheduled to release in April, but it was recently taken out of the schedule and replaced with Michael Tse's Relic of an Emissary.

Besides the money, Charmaine also hopes to find her Mr. Right soon. In fact, she currently has many rich men from Mainland pursuing her. Until now, she still have not chosen one. Since there are new developments in both her career and love life, so she decided to give it a try.

The day before over the phone, Virgina Lok responded: "We are really still discussing. She suggested some conditions, we are considering it." Yesterday reporters contacted Charmaine to confirm, but she has not responded.

Charmaine Sheh visit Kevin Cheng hotel room

After the TVB Anniversary took place last December, Charmaine Sheh Si Man allegedly flew to Hengdian to visit Kevin Cheng Ka Wing, who was filming Bu Bu Jing Xin "步步驚心". Allegedly, a witness even saw Charmaine entering Kevin’s hotel room , in which female cries were heard inside. Through her actions, it was apparent that Charmaine wanted to be back together with Kevin!

In past interviews, Charmaine spoke about handling love relationships, “I don’t mind whether love relationships are revealed publicly or not.” She also stated, “If a man and woman are not married yet, each person still has their own choice.”

Since Charmaine was filming in Hangzhou last December, she appeared at the nearby Hengdian Studios to visit Kevin Cheng on the set of Bu Bu Jing Xin. Apparently, she did not mind making such a public gesture in visiting Kevin. A production crew member recounted, “Last December, the entire production crew saw Charmaine Sheh visiting Kevin Cheng on the set. At first, Kevin did not have much of a reaction and did not appear to be especially excited. During lunch break, Charmaine approached Kevin and pulled out a box of dumplings. They sat in a corner by themselves, conversing quietly and laughing loudly!”

After visiting Kevin on the set, Charmaine allegedly visited Kevin’s hotel room later in the evening. A crew member recounted, “At the time, Charmaine was very careful. She looked left and right to make sure no one was there before entering Kevin’s room. I saw her from afar. I quickly walked away since I did not want any embarrassment. Fortunately, she did not see me. I was curious about her visit, so I stood in front of the hotel room door to listen. I heard the sound of a female crying. The entire crew knows that Charmaine is interested in Kevin, but we don’t know why she loves him so much” Since Charmaine took the initiative to visit Kevin and started crying in his room later, it was understandable that Kevin was moved.

Allegedly, Kevin’s co-star, Liu Si Si, was also present when Charmaine visited Kevin on the filming set of Bu Bu Jing Xin. Apparently, Si Si was one of the many female admirers Kevin had on the set. She frequently asked Kevin to accompany her for hotpot dinners. When the press contacted Liu Si Si, she sounded shocked, “Sorry, I can not talk right now!” Apparently, Si Si did not want to be further involved in the love triangle rumors!

In the past, Charmaine openly praised Kevin, “He is very practical and not the type of man who just wants to have fun. He is stable and honest. He has qualities that would make him a good marriage partner.” Romantic rumors between Charmaine and Kevin started in 2007, when they filmed Forensic Heroes II "法證先鋒II" together. Allegedly, Charmaine was spotted entering Kevin’s house in Sai Kung at the time. In 2009, break-up rumors circulated and the press speculated that Charmaine and Kevin broke up because he did not want to openly acknowledge their relationship.

Charmaine Sheh withdraw from drama Forensic Heroes III

According to news, the night before yesterday, Charmaine Sheh was preparing to get back to Hong Kong from Hangzhou. However, heavy snow hit when she got to the airport, she accidentally slipped and fell on the slippery ice when she was getting out of the car. Her left elbow hit the ground first, causing a joint dislocation. She was sent to the local hospital to get a cast. When Charmaine got back to Hong Kong, she went to see a doctor again, and got another cast. Because she needs some time to recover, she is forced to withdraw from her Forensic Heroes III (FH3) participation.

Yesterday Charmaine accepted a telephone interview, she said in a weak voice: "I discovered that my leg started to feel numb, the doctor examined me and said there is some pressure on my nerves, right now both of my legs hurt a lot. My waist can't maintain a posture for too long, so last night I didn't have a very good sleep." Although there are a lot of inconvenient situations in life, fortunately Mother Sheh is in Hong Kong to look after her. Yesterday Charmaine talked to Producer Miu Siu Ching, Executives Catherine Tsang and Virigina Lok, she said: "What I am most unhappy about is that I affected Siu Ching Jeh, causing much trouble for her. The FH3 crew already started shooting in the studio, it's difficult for them to stop and wait for me now. Eventually TVB told me to take a break for recovery. This is my first time co-starring with Wayne Lai, now that I can't shoot the series, such a pity."

Producer in a headache to find a replacement

Producer Miu Siu Ching admitted that she is eager to find a good actress and frontline actress to replace Charmaine, she said: "Currently handling the situation, initially she was to start working today, now it definitely has been affected! But, Charmaine really has good artist ethics, she also said she afraid we won't know what to do. (Any replacements in mind?) Should be a frontline actress! Earlier, I watched the scenes that Wayne and Kate Tsui did, they did very well, I do hope to find a good actress." She stressed that what's most important is for Charmaine to get well soon: "Even if she forced herself to work, her joint can easily get dislocated, after getting through 6 weeks, she'll have to go in for physical therapy too."

Initially paired with Charmaine in the series, Wayne's partner got her joint dislocated and have to 'dump' the new series, he said: "Can't believe our first collaboration would fail, did I give her bad luck? (Who do you want to replace your partner?) I really don't know, it's hard to say, everyone's already scheduled for other work, I also feel the headache the Producer is feeling now. (Find someone as pretty as Charmaine?) Of course! Most important is a pretty girl, I'm a handsome guy in the series!" Also part of the series, Kate heard about Charmaine's injury, she said: "What's most important is that she gets better soon, I haven't collaborated with her before, initially I was planning to steal some tips from her, but now the opportunity is gone, such a pity."

Joyce Cheng debut album Someone with a story

Yesterday Joyce Cheng held the press conference for her debut music album Someone with a Story (有故事的人). Wu Fung, Lee Heung Kam, Susanna Kwan, Alvina Kong and her husband, Wong Cho Lam, Teresa Mo, Grasshopper's Calvin Choi, Edmond So and other artists attended to support her. The organizers broadcast the MV to Joyce's new song. Wearing a light blue jacket, Joyce appeared on stage with a stuttering voice. She said: "Thanks to all my seniors who took the time off to come witness my big day. To be able to stand her as a singer, I am really grateful and appreciated it. Many people think that my entry into the industry is going to be definite, but if I didn't have the people below the stage supporting me, I really can't do it. I will continue to improve myself!" Then she was so emotional, a few tear drops came out.

Recently busy shooting a series, her father Adam Cheng especially took time off to support his daughter. He also praised that Joyce already had the talent to sing since she was 10. He wished her CD sells well and reveals that he'll purchase 100 copies to support her. Her late mother Lydia Shum's good friend Florence Chan was also very touched and teared up. She expressed that Joyce releasing an album is Lydia's wish: "In the short 6 months period, the wish comes true. Hope to fulfill your mother and your own second wish as soon as possible, and that is to hold a concert." As to her boyfriend Ryan, he did not appear, but Joyce expressed she received blessings from many friends.
