Everyone put in a lot of effort into the series. To her, the awards ceremony has already ended, she is now currently busy preparing for Forensic Heroes 3.

Tim Gor frankly said that he felt very disappointed, the moment when the results were announced, everyone was stiff for a moment, but the results have already been decided, he feels helpless!

Sheren Tang felt that to able to win the award with Wayne, that she won Best Actress, there are no more regrets because based on her past experiences, Series award does not necessarily get as much as attention as TV King and Queen overseas. However, of course she does hope NR could have won Best Series too.

With the audience also having a liking for her, I am very happy. Thanks to the bunch of artistes, lighting and make-up artistes and all back stage staff etc. Also, I took a long time persuading my mum before she agreed to come today. This is the first time she's seeing me receive my award live. I think career and family are equally important. I really want to tell my mum she's always my favourite character."

There's still a long way to go!- When Charmaine was at the backstage doing her interview, it was the time for awarding of the favourite male character and she looked at the big screen screaming:' Ah Mo aka Moses!". Although in the end, the award landed in Raymond Lam's hands, Charmaine is equally happy for him. "Moses is my partner in CBML, I will definitely support him. But I am equally elated that Raymond Lam won, he's an old pal." With regards to having lost out for the best female lead award, Charmaine, who has attended numerous award ceremonies will not be unhappy. " Not managing the win, there's a tinge of disappointment but I will not be unhappy. There are many good artistes yearly but only a couple can win the awards. Therefore, I will not give myself too much pressure. I will do my best for every role, and the most important thing is to have the support of the audience. I will continue to do my best."

Raymond:

The Prince Charming- The first to win an award (tvb.com popularity award), Raymond seems surprised at it and with the flow, he won a second award, the favorite male character, being happy and satisfied. " Really very happy. I really like this chacter as Kingsley this character is designed to be the dream man of all girls, it is of prince charming feeling. And Tavia's character is cinderella, the whole story is like a fairytale. The serial has also created many classic scenes, for example the scene at the Harbour where Tavia talked about (some chemistry term). Thanks a lot to the scriptwriting group for giving me such a nice character to build on and JiaHaoGe for giving me the chances to act as Alfred, 'house' steward and now Kingsley."

Still need to go further!- This year and 2008, Raymond has gotten two awards and he's brimming with happiness. " These two awards are very important to me. Every year, I aim to act characters that can leave an impression on the audience. This year's Kingsley has done it, being the topic of the audience , I feel that I have already produce a good result to myself. Now that I am into all three directions (act, sing, movie), I still need to improve, hoping that I can juggle my time nicely. I would like to thank Miss Lok and my manager, Candy Ma. All my work schedule is arranged by them, everyone has worked hard. As I always have to fly around, they can still manage to arrange everything appropriately, really very impressive."

Wayne Lai does not support Rosy Business 3

TVB's Rosy Business (RB) series part 1 and 2 received high ratings and won public praises. Although at the TVB Anniversary Awards, No Regrets lost the Best Series award, but there is an idea to make RB trilogy. However, lead actor Wayne Lai felt that it's better to stop when it's still good, he does not support making a Rosy Business 3. It was said that RB producer Lee Tim Shing expressed that he has an idea for a third installment. As RB was set in the Qing Dynasty, while NR was set in the pre-modern era, so the third one should be in the modern era, but this is challenging and hard to handle. Wayne said: "I feel that it's time to stop when it's good. I don't support a third installment."

TVB Executive Chairman (Norman Leung) invited the entire NR crew for a celebration last night and explained the unfairness complaintes at the TVB Anniversary Awards. Towards NR losing Best Series Award to Can't Buy Me Love, and led to criticisms. Norman supported that the results were reasonable, he said CBML is this year's highest rated series and NR has their own advantages. Every award presented was based on a scoring system. Raymond Lam winning My Favourite TV Male Character Award also led to criticisms, reporters asked Norman if he were to choose between Moses and Raymond, just like TV King's battle between Moses and Wayne, it is hard to choose." Wayne also helped out and supported Raymond winning the My Favourite TV Male Character Award, he said that a lot of the audience likes Raymond. When liking a person, there are different characters and there is no standard. He also felt tat Moses performance was done very well.

Last night, GM Stephen Chan, Catherine Tsang, Virgina Lok and other TVB executives attended the celebration. Virgina said that before the awards ceremony she not dare to invite Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang to sign a management contract to avoid controversy in the awards. She currently hopes with the most sincerity, longest contract and silver bullet policy to invite them to collaborate. Virgina expressed: "Sheren's manager Helen is my long time good friend. I won't invite her favourite, besides Helen retires. As for Wayne's manager is his wife, their contract is for life."

Sheren felt touched by Virgina Lok's contract offer, she laughed and said if her manager Helen really does retire, only then will she consider signing with TVB. Asked if she'll buy a house to reward herself for becoming TV Queen? Sheren said that paying off the house to her is a punishment.
