Michael Miu: Felix Wong's 'Fire Breathing" is heroic

Yesterday the cast to Gun Metal Grey attended the promotional event, including Felix Wong, Michael Miu, Jessica Hsuan and Nancy Wu.

Recently Felix Wong has been named "Fire Breathing Wah", when reporters pursued the question about how he's feeling now? He smiled and said: "Have always been good, been in a good mood from beginning to end of shooting Gum Metal Grey. I didn't start any 'fire'. (Just fire breathing?) You all didn't see my appearance, I was just expressing my opinions as an audience, I was just speaking from my mind. I wrote out whatever I felt comfortable with, Hong Kong has freedom of speech. (Will you go on Scoop?) I received a phone call last night, I will go. So difficult to make a series, artists definitely have to participate in the promotions. (Do you feel that this time, it's TVB's appeasement or trying to fix the situation?) It's hard to say. No Regrets is broadcasting their finale this week, have to arrange time for other series, at least there's the heart, putting the effort to do each situation. (Feeling better now?) I already said I wasn't firing, just my writing was a little heavy."

Felix expressed that he has not decided whether to attend the TVB awards ceremony or not, everything is on Michael Miu because Michael is the group's leader. When asked who he supports for TV King, Felix did not support Michael, he said: "I support Wayne Lai, Sheren Tang, Evergreen Mak and Nancy Wu to win awards. No Regrets is a drama in the big era, very attractive. (What about Can't Buy Me Love?) It's rather difficult to get an award depended on a comedy."

Michael praised Felix's speak of mind, is a hero that has good temper. He definitely supports his good friend. Is he planning to attend the awards ceremony? Michael said: "I don't know if I'm invited, haven't received the invitation yet. Perhaps I didn't make it in, so don't need to go."

Jessica Hsuan and Michael have been strongly supporting Felix in the last few days and working hard on promoting the series. Jessica was showing her career line during the game play with audience. She felt that Felix's firing had his reasons, but does not know if TVB invited him to attend the anniversary or not, it is more of an issue of respect. She said: "Actually I already knew about TVB's mechanism, if no promotions, then go do it ourselves. Also, I never thought the series will be an anniversary series. However, I have been notified by TVB to go on Scoop for an interview. I'm currently cutting jobs, if I can handle it, I will do it, if not then I will leave. I completely understand Felix wants good for the series."

Sonjia Kwok denies releasing love sparks on Michael Miu: "I still have marry"

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?"

Felix Wong neglected, Virgina Lok salutes to put out fire

For the last few days, Felix Wong has been exploding about how TVB doesn't value his performance in Gun Metal Grey (GMG). The cast didn't get invited to the anniversary celebration, eventually he couldn't hold it anymore and burst at the responsible department. The TVB Anniversary producer (Wai Sai Fai) and Production Director (Ho Lai Chuen) both expressed their stance, but Felix's anger did not die down. In the end, Virgina Lok had to come out to settle it.

Virgina Lok said: "There's not much about Felix Wong, he just has a dictating personality when there is injustice. He is not angered at TVB, earlier I asked him to guest star in the Lunar New Year film I Love Hong Kong and he instantly agreed to take part in it. However, after Felix finishes losing his temper, it's over because No Regrets aired earlier than GMG, so it may feel like No Regrets is getting more promotions, but there will be more promotions for GMG later. Felix is deeply loved by TVB!"

It was said thatr after Felix's burst, he will still be attending the upcoming GMG promotion, but has not decided whether or not he'll attend the awards ceremony. Earlier he accepted an interview by TVB's entertainment news, and expressed that he came back this time for GMG was because of Michael Miu. He praised that there are sparks with the other cast and he's been chasing the series every night. When watching one of the emotional scenes, he cried four times in one night. Felix's 'acting addiction' does not compare to the past, currently he's living a half-retired life and sees the awards in a calm manner.

Thank you guys! muah*" Although neither of them spoke openly about it on Weibo, in fact his girlfriend had prepared this pleasant birthday surprise for him.

Yesterday when William attended a video game function, it was hard for him to cover his good mood: "I'm really happy!" With this pleasant surprise making him extremely happy, he commented: "That day, she called me asking if I wanted to go out to eat. Originally I was in the recording studio until around 11pm so I was thinking not to go. But my girlfriend (Ah Sa) asked me to just go up and sit for a bit. When I got there, there was no one there and nothing to eat. She said it's too late at night so everyone's left by down. At that point I was really feeling down. At that moment, a whole group of good friends rushed out from another room. Turns out she arranged it for so many people to celebrate (my birthday) with me, I'm really happy!"

(On Weibo, neither of them openly mentioned each other being at the celebration. Charlene was originally supposed to have gone back to Beijing that morning to continue filming "Legend of the White Snake" with Jet Li and Eva Huang but there was a last-minute schedule change where she got to stay in HK 1 day longer which is when she last-minute arranged the celebration. After the celebration, Charlene blogged saying: "A day off that came unexpectedly .. became an unexpectedly pleasant surprise .. hehe ..")

Ah Sa receives a kiss from William in front of 500 fans, covers her face embarrassed

Charlene's recently released album has fully received positive critiques and has even achieved platinum sales. Along with these great results, Charlene held an album autograph session with over 500 fans who arrived on location to receive autographs and show their support, in addition to presenting Charlene with a birthday cake and an environmentally friendly rose board to celebrate Charlene's 10th year in the showbiz. Ever since Charlene and William have admitted to their relationship, it even became a topic at the event. A pair of penguin stuffed animals were given to Charlene, wishing for her to be sweet and happy. When it was time to play interactive games, a little boy and girl were invited to come up on stage to wrap a bouqet of flowers with Charlene. The event host requested for the little boy to give a kiss to Charlene, but when Ah Sa found out the boy's name was William, Charlene laughed and embarrassed, covered her face. However afterwards, Ah Sa generously said: "I don't mind, it's nothing, the name William is so common."

November 22 is Charlene's 28th birthday and the day before on November 21 is William's 25th birthday. Later when accepting an interview, Ah Sa honestly expressed that this year, she hopes to celebrate her birthday with her boyfriend. "Right now I'm busy filming (in Mainland), but I hope to have the day off for my birthday. There's a 60% chance and I hope to visit Europe with William. But on William's birthday, he's in Chengdu. If I get the day off, I'll go over to find him." When asked what present she hopes her boyfriend will give to her, she replied: "Nothing!" Instead, she already thought of a present for her boyfriend, but when asked what the present was, she laughed and replied: "I'll spend a little more though, but I won't say it, it'll have to be a surprise!"

Recently at a Ming Weekly event, William expressed: "This year is the first time Ah Sa and I are celebrating our birthdays together as a couple, but I have work. I hope we can arrange to celebrate together. I've also already bought a mysterious gift. Actually, I hope to celebrate privately with Ah Sa, I don't want to hold a big party."
