The other popular series Can't Buy Me Love did not lose it all and got Best Series. TV King and Queen went to Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang respectatively as predicted by [Oriental Daily]. Charmaine Sheh won My Favourite TV Female Character and the popular Moses Chan just got the 'pork' award!

TV King Wayne Lai happily lifted up his award and said: "Thank you TVB for growing me for years. I thought after last year's acceptance speech, I won't have another opportunity to say it again. Lau Sing is a role I really like, I will remember for life!"

TV Queen Sheren Tang had the whole studio cheering and applauding when she won, but the award presenter (Dik Lung) forgot to present the award to her. Sheren happily said: "Silent diligent work can be seen by people! Thank you God for giving me a crazy special characteristic, that allows me to be able to do well on my acting." Sheren did not forget to thank God: "Many people have no opportunity to stand on this stage, many people are silently working, pulling all nighters, it is difficult to film a TV series! Thank you God for giving me so many life experiences!" She then urged everyone to believe Lau Sing and Miss Nine's true love, watch the series and learn to cherish the people in life and world peace.

Charmaine Sheh wins Most Favourite Female Character

Later when Wayne and Sheren were interviewed backstage, the two happily expressed they won together creating history is extremely rare! As No Regrets lost the Best Series award, Wayne said: "The entire crew and cast, each one of us worked very hard, but willing to gamble willing to accept lost!" Asked if he signed a TVB contract? He said: "Not related, have to see the conditions, many factors!" Sheren expressed that this proves that the 'contract in exchange for awards' rumors does not confirm, both of them expressed that no one had approached them to talk about a contract.

Charmaine depended on Princess Chiu Yeung to win My Favourite Female Character Award, she maintained her smile on stage: "Very happy! This role is my favourite! And have to thank the group of behind-the-scenes." Asked if she was disappointed in losing the TV Queen award? She said: "I am a little disappointed, but won't be unhappy! Audience liking it is more important than winning awards. She expressed that she won't be celebrating because she has to take an early flight back to Mainland tomorrow.

Raymond Lam wrote back to thank Mona Fong

As My Favourite Male Character Award went to TVB's favourite Raymond Lam and also the TVB.com Popularity Award, asked if Mona Fong's 12 true message was in effect? Raymond said: "Then will have to count every word! (Win award again?) I'm very satisfied! Already surpass the expected!" He also expressed that he will give a written message back to Mona Fong on his Come 2 Me Concert DVD. Asked if he will write: 'No words can describe the gratefulness'? He said: "Something like that! (Afraid of more gossips?) There has always been a lot of noise." Popular Moses Chan only got Best Professional Performance Award, he smiled and said that he is not disappointed, he is a professional at comedy and making coffee, but on stage he said that "Best Actor Award is colder than water", Neitzens made noise feeling that the award was a 'pork award"! (TN: In HK, 'pork award' traditionally means that everyone gets a share of pork, hence pork award. Neitzens are saying that TVB gave Moses the award to make up for not getting any of the big awards.)

When Sandra Ng presented the Best Actor award, she stirred up the lively atmosphere and even before she looked at the results she announced that Wayne was the winner. She also said Felix Wong wanted to say "totally very best". As Felix was on the Top 5, but he insisted on a no show last night, clearly still have issues with TVB.

Charmaine Sheh and Wayne Lai in Forensic Heroes 3

It's another TV King and Queen collaboration. Charmaine Sheh to collaborate with Wayne Lai in the sequel of hit series "Forensic Heroes"---"Forensic Heroes 3". Earlier reports exposed Kevin Cheng is replacing the main lead from the previous installments, Bobby Au-Yeung, as the lead in the new "FH." But now it's confirmed it will be Wayne.

Yesterday reporters contacted producer of the series Mui Siu Ching and she disclosed "FH3" to start shooting in December. "Leads include Wayne Lai, Charmaine Sheh, Kate Tsui, and Ron Ng. Because it's hard to write more about the old leads, so this time it would be a brand new story and new characters. Plus many good actors died in the previous stories, hope they can come back in this new story. "

Mui also disclosed some information about Wayne and Charmaine's characters in the series. "Charmaine won't play a police this time. She will play a forensic pathologist. Wayne will play a cool police and solve cases with Charmaine. Of course they are going to have some romantic scenes. Since the two never worked with each other before, so it should be something fresh to viewers."

Wayne appeared to be excited when talked about collaborating with Charmaine. "To be honest, been shooting series for many years, I almost collaborate with every TVB actress but not Charmaine. My partner is getting younger. I think she is very smart and her acting improved a lot. So I can't wait to collaborate with her," he said on the phone.

Because he has to play a handsome police and pair with the pretty Charmaine, Wayne vowed to lose some weight. "I weight 145lbs now. I hope I can lose about 10 or 8lbs before the series starts shooting, so I can pair with Charmaine!"

Charmaine is also excited to work with Wayne. "Don't know whether it's confirmed. If it's true, it's definitely a good thing because I never worked with Wayne before. He is a good actor. I watched his 'Rosy Business.'"

His life is quite fascinating. Also TVB is sponsoring an event for everyone to watch him leave the world at a shopping center, just like everyone going to Chai Gau's funeral! It's an honor. Of course, I will be part of the group who sends Chai Gau off, if the TV ratings could break records, then it would be even more perfect."
[WARNING: Contains Spoilers!]

"I really hope that audience could come together and come together to support the finale, create a peaking TV rating of 51 points! Surpass "Jewels in the Palace" highest record.

Sheren Tang Confident that 'Rosy Business' Finale Will Reach 40 Points

TVB’s “Rosy Business” 《巾幗梟雄》has continued to rise in ratings. The ratings for Monday, May 18th achieved 37 points. Last night, the main cast members treated the crew to a celebration dinner.

Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung once promised that he will treat the cast and crew to a separate dinner on his own. “The cast treated the crew for tonight’s dinner. Since everyone pitches in the same amount, there is no need for one person to fight to pay the entire bill. Everyone is happy. It is not important whether we treat or not. The most important thing is that we watch the final episode at the shopping mall together with the audience. The atmosphere will be very exciting!"

One tabloid magazine published photo stills from “Rosy Business,” pointing out the appearance of modern high-rise buildings in the background. Wayne said, "The stills showcase a different viewpoint. These buildings should not appear onscreen in the background. If they truly do, I hope everyone is understanding of the mistake."

Sheren Tang Shui Man suggested to TVB executive, Stephen Chan, to organize a dinner at a shopping mall. Sheren laughed, "Many thanks to the audience for vigorously discussing ‘Rosy Business.’ Thus it is our turn to do something in return. If it is possible, it would be great for the dinner proceeds to go to charity. To suit my character’s role in ‘Rosy Business,’ perhaps we can have a rice feast!"

Sheren was confident that the ratings for the finale of “Rosy Business” will rise beyond 40 points, proving the power of a strong cast. “In the future, actresses should not be afraid of filming before a high-definition camera. If own possesses strong acting skills, that would suffice."

Nancy Wu Ting Yan was happy she acted in “Rosy Business.” Nancy said, “Originally, Claire Yiu Ka Lei was cast in the role. However, she became pregnant and thus I took on the role.” Nancy was unconcerned that her role will peg her as an evil women in the audience’s mind.
