November 4, 2011

TRAX will Make a Comeback with the 3rd Mini Album Title ‘??’ Which is the Rock Ballad Composed by the Member Jungmo!



Rock group TRAX, who will release the 3rd mini album on November 10th, will make a comeback with the mournful rock ballad ‘??’.



The title song ‘??’ is medium tempo rock ballad song which is harmonized and twisted with the sweet melody and the hard sound. It is more than good enough to draw attention of music fans with the seasonable gentle mood. 



Especially, ‘??’ is composed by the member Jungmo who is already known for good composing skill by writing ‘Let You Go’ and ‘Close Ur Mouth’ etc. It is expected to see their deeper sensibility and the color of music.   



Also in the lyrics which is written by the lyricist Misfit and TRAX, ‘??’ is used as a metaphor. When we glance at the window, we are not exactly looking at the window but the scenery outside of the transplant window. The song emotionally and poetically describes the anxious desire of the woman who cannot recognize the love that is actually close to her. 



Since the KBS 1TV Daily Drama ‘??? ???’ goes off today, Jay who has been acting in the drama as a title role will push himself hard for the preparation.   



Meanwhile, TRAX’s the 3rd mini album ‘??’ will be available both online and in stores on November 10th.

Cammi Tse: “I Gave My Virginity to Edison Chen and Filmed an Erotic Video!”



In early 2008, over 1,000 of Edison Chen’s (???) pornographic photos were leaked publicly, leading to a shattering scandal. Three years later, the subject of Edison’s 2008 sex scandal have been unable to step out of the shadow. However, Edison continued to be addicted to self-taken intimate photography. Fearless, Edison picked up his camera again and the subject of his latest lip-locking photos was 16-year-old model, Cammi Tse (???).

After Edison and Cammi’s intimate photos were exposed, he did not notify Cammi and issued a statement indicating that he had already broken up with her. Cut-off coldly by Edison, Cammi spoke exclusively to Sudden Weekly on November 2nd and admitted that she filmed a two-minute erotic video for Edison upon his request. Turning the age of 16-years-old to legally date in Hong Kong, Cammi admitted that her first time was given to Edison Chen.



Although Edison requested Cammi to kept their relationship a secret, she could not resist from posting a photo of them together on her blog in September to show off her happiness. In addition, Cammi posted a photo of a $5,000 HKD Hello Kitty bra which was presumably a present from Edison on her blog.

With Edison’s unilateral breakup announcement, Cammi cried for one day and night. During their dating period, Cammi filmed intimate photos and a two-minute erotic video for him. Edison allegedly requested Cammi to wear her school uniform and a swimsuit as a form of cosplay to increase the whimsical value. Asked about their sexual relationship, Cammi could not hold back her emotions and cried heart-brokenly.

Maintained Sexual Precautions Were Taken

C= Cammi; R= Reporter

R: How do you feel right now?

C: I am truly hurt. It was a private matter to date, however the entire world is talking about me and attacking me now. I am very unhappy and feel a lot of stress.

R: How did you meet Edison?

C: At his company (Juice). We were introduced by friends and continued to send text messages to each other.

R: After Edison released a public statement, have you been in touch with each other?

C (starts sobbing): After his statement, I realized we have truly broken up.

R: You took the photos on his bed?

C: We usually meet at his house and the photos were taken in his bedroom.

R: Did he ask you to take the photos?

C: He asked me to film a clip and said it was for his company’s use.

R: What kind of clip was it? Why has his company never used it? Did Edison retain it for private use?

C: I do not know…I am very scared!

R: Did he ask you wear lingerie and your school uniform for cosplay purposes?

C (eyes started brimming with tears): …I will not answer that question! (Hands start shaking) I can only say that it was not a sex video; I wore clothes throughout the clip!

R: Did you give your first time to him?

C (started sobbing uncontrollably, nodded head affirmatively): Yes.

R: Did you have protective sex?

C (continued to cry): I do not wish to talk about it. Anyhow, I know how to protect myself.

R: Does Edison still love Vincy Yeung? Are you still upset at him?

C: I do not know (big sigh)…. We were only together for 3 months, but I was really happy because he was very sweet to me. I believe that he was sincere at the time (paused for a few seconds) but…why did he have to treat me like this?!



Cammi Tse’s Father: “I Will Punish Her!”

When Cammi Tse and Edison Chen’s intimate photos were exposed on Monday, November 1st, she insisted on going to school that day. Cammi was a Form 4 student at a high school in Kowloon Bay. Originally scheduled to get off school at 3:3o PM, Cammi left one hour early and was spotted wearing a face mask stepping out of the school’s back exit accompanied by her father. Walking past a newsstand, Cammi’s father purchased a copy of a newspaper featuring coverage of Cammi’s intimate photos with Edison Chen.

When a reporter approached Cammi and her father, Mr. Tse, he said in a very upset manner, “Today, I have to take a day off to attend a parent-teacher conference!” (Did you know that your daughter was dating Edison Chen?) “No, I did not know. My daughter never dated in the past.” (Now that the photos have been circulating, what do you plan to do?) “What to do now? I have no eyes to look anymore! I will punish her tonight!”

At this point, Mr. Tse turned to Cammi and said, “Why don’t you answer the press’ questions? I do not know how to answer them!” Facing her father’s scolding, Cammi bowed her head and did not answer. Father and daughter drove back to their home in the Sau Mau Ping district.

Later that evening, Cammi put on light makeup to accept a Now TV interview, professing that she was very hurt by the recent turn of events. Cammi insisted that she was already 16-years-old when the intimate photos were taken.

Cammi’s manager, Admond, noted, “The company is very angry; Edison will affect Cammi’s future development. We do not interfere with our models dating and other personal matters, but an adult should not ask young girls to take such photos!”

Edison Possesses Strong Sexual Desires

Edison did not quit his long-time addiction of taking sex photos. He also preferred asking his partners to wear uniforms for role playing. According to behavioral psychologist, Lee Bao Nung (???), men who enjoyed taking sex photos with women typically possessed very strong sexual desires. Since normal sex did not satisfy him, Edison needed to rely on “alternative sex.” Mr. Lee commented, “He has an enormous need, which is difficult to completely satisfy and thus he chose to express it in this manner. Role playing through the use of uniforms is a stimulating act. As a form of rebellious desire, it also projects the person’s extremely strong sexual desires.”

Maximum 5-Year Imprisonment for Underage Sex

The now 31-year-old Edison Chen dated Cammi Tse, who turned 16-years-old in March 2011. Lawyer, Wong Kwok Tung (???) said that the man would be out of luck if the woman was under 16-years-old while having sex, which may provoke lawsuits. “Any man having sex with a girl under the age of 16-years-old girl would be violating the law. Regardless of whether the girl was willing to do so, the man broke the law and faces a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment.”

Wong Cho Lam as a comedian: I do not fear of elimination



Wong Cho Lam has got himself a reputation that he's a comedian. As for his recent series Super Snoops was criticized for not being funny, he frankly expressed that is pressuring. He sighed and said a comedian's life is shorter than a tragic master.

(Wong Cho Lam speaks...)

At first when I was working on Super Snoops, I just saw myself to have one rotten life. Later, everyone expected the Fuk Luk Sau (FLS) that we must be funny and it was then when I discovered my own deficiencies. Honestly speaking, I thought I wasn't funny either! It's interesting, when everyone comes and praises you, even a saint forgets modesty, and neglect to listen to opinions of others....When I was nothing at all, I only wanted to do everything I could to make audience laugh. But now, I assume that I'm already really funny before I go out to perform, this is in fact a little like putting the cart before the horse. I hope to restore the fundamentals and find that energy I had in the past, and just give everything I got to make people laugh.

Flowers cannot be red forever, a comedian is like this too. Tragedy, you can watch until 60 years old, but the tide changes every few years for a comedy. It is easiest for a comedian's career to end their 'fresh period'. I am not afraid to be anyone's replacement or be eliminated, but I just fear I may forget that a comedian must use sincerity to be able to touch people. I do not dare to use 'comedian' to describe myself, but since I decided to be funny, I do indeed have my own stress. I have to always remind myself that I am competing against time, information, the expectation of audience and several other variables.

Looking back at Super Snoops, I feel the greatest problem was compared to a having a week to prepare a FLS variety show, we only had 1 day to complete 1 episode of the series. This is clearly a lack of time issue. Also, series are much more complicated than variety shows. Generally speaking, more time is needed for preparation....so if there is an opportunity to shoot another FLS series in the future, I hope to put more time and thought into the production.

Epilogue: Enduring sleepless nights to show care for others

This exclusive interview was completed several months ago. Initially, we wanted to wait until Wong Cho Lam goes to the U.S to meet the parents before we publish the article, but this 5 day interview could be summed up with Cho Lam's one comment: "I absolutely will not talk about Leanne Li." Cho Lam's love is nothing special, but he is very devoted to his acting career. He also severely lacks sleep: "This place indeed makes me wanna sleep." The touching part is that he is willing to sacrifice his sleep time (overnight) to comfort a friend. The author has also been one of his beneficiaries.

Edison Chen finishes kissing 16 year old lengmo Cammi and ditches her: "Really hurt"


Following the 2008 Artist Photo Scandal, Edison Chen's reputation and career hits rock bottom. We all thought he would change and start over, but he still has those bad habits of taking sexual photos. Yesterday [Oriental Daily] took the lead in exposing 31 year old Edison and 16 year old lengmo Cammi's intimate kiss photos. Last night, a few more photos were circulated online. Edison was seen half-naked with Cammi kissing with their eyes closed.

Earlier, it was rumored Edison and his girlfriend Vincy broke up. On October 1st, when Edison attended an event in Taiwan, he insisted his relationship with Vincy was going well. However, this time Edison shows his true colors once again. According to the news, Edison often goes to Cammi's house for their secret meeting. He wanted her to wear female undergarments and school uniforms to take seductive photos.

After the exposure of the "EC Love", Edison quickly ditched Cammi heartlessly. Currently in Mainland, Edison's management responds on his behalf: "After seeing the reports, I am having complex emotions. Approximately 6 months ago, Vincy and I broke up. The feeling of falling out of love was hard to bear. This is when I met Cammi, I felt we could develop further. We just started our relationship and this happens. I have no comment. I want to tell everyone that this moment, I am still single. Thank you all for the concern!"

Edison did not only announce the news that he and Vincy already broke up 6 months ago, but also fiercely ditched the underage Cammi. Yesterday at 4pm, Cammi accepted an interview. She said: "I know he and Vincy broke up. We were together for a very short period. (Have you kept in touch with Edison after the photos were exposed?) We did SMS, like normal friends. We already broke up and it's not because of this incident." Asked if they broke up yesterday? She hurried and said: "I don't know. Neither of said we are breaking up, but we both know it's a break up. It's a peaceful break up." Asked if she and Edison took sex photos? She stuttered: "No. (Sexual relationship?) No."

After the intimate photos exposed, Cammi directly admitted she was really frightened because she was afraid her family, who are unaware, would see it and that her school would follow closely with the issue. This has been a great impact on her, but she will continue going to school. Cammi stressed she doesn't possess the set of photos. Asked if the photos are with Edison? However, the phone call dropped.

However yesterday afternoon, when Cammi was going to school, she denied the relationship. At 7am, she appeared in light makeup, and was asked of her relationship with Edison? She said: "I just work with him! (Why are there those photos then?) My personal life has nothing to do with him." At 2:45pm, Cammi's father picked her up from school, but at the door, reporters asked if she and Edison dated? Did she take the photos on her own will? She was frightened as she said: "I don't know how to answer, I'm 16 years old!"

When Cammi got home, she was asked of her current mood: "Really hurt. I don't know how I'm feeling, I did cry. (So young, protect yourself?) Yes." She expressed she lost her cell phone and suspects this is related to the photo exposure. Her company called the police for her and said there were no sexual photos. Regarding Edison announcing that he's single and was drawing the line with her, Cammi helplessly admitted they have broken up. In the evening, Cammi once again responded through email. She said after the photo exposure, she really is afraid because it's so sudden. She still can't accept reality! Cammi also admits she dated Edison, but they have now separate and she has no other comments. Thanks for the concern.

Tavia Yeung & Him Law caught secretly BBQ together


27 year old Him Law and Theresa Fu's relationship were suspected to have had a rough ending. In between, it was rumored Him and 32 year old TVB FaDan Tavia Yeung sparked a 'sister-brother love' after shooting new series 36 Hours on Call. Although the two both denied the dating rumors, but recently they were caught out BBQ together secretly at a local park. Him also especially gives Tavia a lift too. Their relationship seems quite obvious.

In May, it was said before Him officially broke up with Theresa Fu, he already started with Tavia, who is 5 years his senior, while they were shooting 36 Hours On Call. Tavia also did not avoid showing her support for Him during the times when he was troubled by the break up incident. The two denied to the rumors and Him insisted he never drove Tavia before.

Although the two firmly deny to the rumors, the two were finally caught BBQing at a park during Halloween. The two appeared very secretive too. The day before, at around 5pm, Him was driving alone from Tseung Kwan O straight to Tavia's residence. 10 minutes later, Tavia climbed over to the passenger seat. Him drove Tavia to his building, where he resides, and met up with 3 other friends. Him went upstairs to grab the prepared foods and drinks for the BBQ. Tavia just stood aside and relaxed. It looks like Him is quite compassionate and took great care of Tavia the whole entire time.

The 5 of them chose a remote area in the park to have their BBQ and avoided the busy streets. During the time, Him and Tavia were sitting closer and closer, often whispering and laughing loudly. When they discovered reporters taking photos, the two revealed an embarrassed expression. Him took the initiative and rushed forward: "Don't take pictures. I don't want to frighten my friends. (Why are you all BBQing here?) We live nearby." However, reporters said the others lived far, Him helplessly waved his hand.

Directly caught BBQing together, Him and Tavia were unwilling to sit together for a photo. Tavia said: "Whatever you guys can take, then just take it! Can you show me the pictures? I want to see if I look good! Do you want to join us? I'll BBQ something for you all!" Although Tavia appeared generous, but after reporters left, she quickly told friends to take a group photo and posted it on Weibo.

Michael Miu supports Laughing Gor Michael Tse for TV King

Michael Miu attended the press conference to the Charity Run in Ocean Park. He expressed he and his wife Jamie Chik will be participating the charity run: "Engaging in physical activity with weak hands and legs, will help bring back the spirit. Those who often take the MTR (HK Subway), walking up and down are usually the healthiest." Asked if he usually takes the MTR too? He said: "Rarely! I tried before, but people recognized me and I was asked for pictures constantly."

When speaking of the TV King battle, Michael greatly supports Michael Tse: "Lives of Omission received good ratings. Even if Kevin Cheng is said to have a better chance, I still think Laughing's chances are much higher. In fact this year we were in Dwelling Couples together, perhaps my acting is just too good, so they had to 'hold back' on releasing the series so Laughing can get TV King first."

Yesterday afternoon the cast to both series including Eddie Cheung, Kiki Sheung, Joyce Tang, Hanjin Tan, Myolie Wu and Sunny Chan drummed their way into TVB City for the press conference. Joyce Tang, who had a quite a 'plump' chest, bent over and showed off her nice body figure. She really put in the effort and became the center of attention.

When reporters asked her about the surge in her upper body while she was drumming? Joyce expressed with pride: "It really moved? Don't play with me! (Did you feel it?) It's so hot, I can't feel anything. (Has she waited for this opportunity for a long time?) I found out that I had to do drumming earlier when I returned to HK from Malaysia. Honestly, I really don't have much feeling, just feel really hot." In the sitcom, Joyce plays a couple with Hanjin. He was standing besides her and greatly praised: "Joyce's body figure is like a Ryoko! She is definitely my 'Ryoko wife', that is Japanese actress Royoko Yonekura!"

Eddie and Kiki collaborate again, TVB cut a clip of their bed scene to make the promotional clips, but the two were not embarrassed. Eddie said: "TVB didn't deliberately do that, just out of luck that the scene was cut for the promotional clip." Kiki said: "On the first day of shooting, we had to go to a high class hotel room and do a face-to-face intimate scene!"

Fans Angry That Ron Ng Has Little Screen Time in “Forensic Heroes 3″

Ron Ng (???), Wayne Lai (???), Kate Tsui ( ???), Edwin Siu (???) and Aimee Chan (???) appeared in Halloween costumes to promote Forensic Heroes 3 "????III". Netizens complained that the characters in Forensic Heroes 3 possessed very little realism. Fans also protested that Ron Ng possessed little screen time in Forensic Heroes 3, slipping from leading role to being a “big extra.” Ron thanked the audience in speaking up for him, but he indicated that the amount of screen time was okay.

Ron’s rumored girlfriend, Viann Zhang (???), indicated on her blog that she had lost her cell phone. Asked whether he was anxious that their joint photos together may be exposed, Ron replied, “As we did not take such photos, that should not happen! Friends did take some photos, but there are no unauthorized photos. I often delete my text messages sent to family and friends after I read them. They are just normal text messages. Tabloid’s published text messages between celebrities are often fabricated!”

Wayne Lai Supports Ron Ng

Regarding fans’ allegations that Ron was reduced to a “big extra” in Forensic Heroes 3 with little screen time, Wayne Lai supported Ron and said that was not the case. Wayne noted that Ron participated in the filming of more scenes than himself. As a forensic scientist, Wayne’s character would only arrive on the scene after the discovery of a dead body. The physical comfort level of his scenes made Wayne feel guilty. When the reporter pointed out that Wayne’s salary was very high, he joked that he possessed the lowest salary at TVB.

Kate Tsui Shows Cleavage As a Sexy Ghost

Kate dressed as a sexy ghost at the Forensic Heroes 3 promotional event. However, she wore a vampire cloak to wrap up her figure, in an attempt to reduce skin exposure. Finally, when Producer Miu Siu Ching (???) ordered to “boost the ratings,” Kate exposed a bit more of her cleavage. During the photo session, Kate complained shrilly, “This is making me feel very embarrassed!”

Edison’s secret lip-locking photo with Cammi was exposed last night for the first time. Allegedly, Edison pulled “all tricks out of his bag” to successfully pursue Cammi, embarking on a relationship with a 15-year age gap!

Earlier, it was rumored that Edison had broken up with former girlfriend, Albert Yeung’s (???) niece, Vincy Yeung (???). Each time such breakup rumors circulated, Edison stepped forward to deny them. Last night, a netizen uploaded a photo of Edison kissing Fantasy member, Cammi Tse, on the lips. From the photo, it was apparent that Edison was hugging Cammi from behind while giving her a tongue-twisting kiss typical of passionate lovers!

Through her manager, Admond, Cammi acknowledged that she was the woman kissing Edison in the photo, while refusing to divulge her exact relationship with Edison. Admond said, “Cammi admits that she took the photo with Edison, but does not wish to respond to any other matters.” Turning 16-years-old in March 2011, Cammi and Taiwanese model, Sum Chi Ming (???), had an unpleasant encounter at a nightclub earlier.

Calling Each Other “BB”

An insider revealed that Edison and Vincy Yeung broke up several months ago. Edison started dating Cammi in May, upon which she posted a photo taken with Edison, praising him for looking “very handsome.”

Allegedly, Edison was attracted to Cammi upon meeting her for the first time. Edison utilized Whatsapp to start his pursuit and before long, the pair were referring to each other as “bb”! Edison frequently drove Cammi around in his car and the pair dined at fine restaurants together, in which the bills easily surpassed several thousand Hong Kong dollars per meal.

Madly in love, Cammi often left messages on her blog hinting [at her secret relationship with Edison], including “secret love passwords” such as “abcde” which signified “EDC baby.” Cammi also uploaded a photo of a received gift of a stuffed toy, worth several thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Since the 16-year-old Cammi was still a student, perhaps her school administrators will be very interested in the exposed photo of her kissing with Edison and their romantic relationship.

Tavia Yeung, Wong He and Judy Tsang attended the One Victory real estate ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday. Tavia exposed she has her eyes on one of the units that is nearly 1,000 square feet. This special unit is valued at HK$20 million. Tavia laughed and said she hopes to get a discount from the real estate development company: "Currency nowadays do not hold much value, of course need to buy the 'brick'!" Tavia claims she has a 'property saving' addiction and joked she will have to ask TVB to give her a pay raise, so she can be 'promoted' to a landlady. When speaking of this year's TV Queen battle between Myolie Wu and Fala Chen, Tavia did not hesitate to say she already voted for herself: "It is fine whoever wins, the most important is to be beautiful!"

As for Wong He, who is currently developing in Mainland, expressed he is going to save up to buy this special unit within 2 years: "I won't ask for a discount, I have my capability." However, he declined to compare Mainland and TVB's salaries. As for the rumors that Charmaine Sheh is taking the lead in helping with the poach and was accused of being a traitor, Wong He supported her and said it's normal to switch companies and there should not be any speculation of 'betrayal'.

Jessica Hsuan gives herself a 50% on her performance in Curse of the Royal Harem

TVB new series Curse of the Royal Harem will have a 2 hour premiere tonight (Oct 31st). Yesterday afternoon, the cast and crew gathered together to promote the series. At the promotion, the best features of the series were shown. In the series, Myolie Wu and Jessica Hsuan engages in a heart scheming fight for power in the palace. The two chances to take the TV Queen title is going to be high. Jessica expressed there is a realistic scene where she gets slapped by Myolie. She said: "In fact, the scene was shot at an angle, but with the addition of sound effects, the results really looks real. Myolie actually had greater pressure than I did because she was worried she might hurt me." Jessica said she has great confidence for Curse because the script is excellent. She hopes the premiere ratings could get over 30 points.

After watching her own performance in the best features clip, Jessica only gave herself 50% because she rarely does dramas set in the palace, so she is inexperienced. She said: "Watching the clip, I felt there was a lot of places I could improve on, my acting could have been better. It is a small issue that only I know, audience may not be aware." When speaking of Jessica's TVB contract that expired in September, she expressed she is still discussing. She will soon be heading over to Mainland to shoot a modern drama. When speaking of her love life, Jessica laughed and said she will have to wait until next year when she has better fate before she starts thinking. Since she's single now, she will concentrate on her work.

Myolie Wu greatly pressured by her villain role

Portraying the Empress, Myolie frankly said it's a rare chance that she gets a villain role, but this also brought her pressure. She said: "Even the event today has given me a lot of pressure. Last night I couldn't sleep. (How would you rate yourself?) I don't dare to, in fact I am very worried because the role is not too likable. I'm worried audience might not like it, so I hope audience will understand why my role does the bad things she does." Myolie expressed after the series broadcast, the will definitely be different comments, so she won't deliberately try to avoid anything, but instead accept all comments. Myolie feels she still has room for improvement, she feels she can be even more evil, but her experience from this performance was truly valuable to her. When reporters teased she and rumored boyfriend Bosco Wong both played villains? Myolie laughed: "So What?"

Edwin Siu: A Prince with many relationships

Edwin Siu is the elegant Prince Siu. Back then, he was the music newcomer king. Then in the [o?o?o?] TV Ad, he became a laughing stock and since then, he was banished to Beijing.

Said the wrong things, took the wrong paths, this is normal in human life. Fortunately, there is a Take 2 in life. It was Edwin's rebirth when he came back to HK to shoot TVB series. In his recent performance in Forensic Heroes III (FH3), his role has been well-received. He openly acted out the drunk craze, his exaggerations was comedic and he was able to put down his identity as a prince. Edwin won back his audience fate, and finally brushed off the negative news he had before.

It was rumored he was defeated by Moses Chan in the pursuit for Aimee Chan. His love opponent is the industry's well known "good deal". Edwin laughed out loud, and said rumors are harmless. In fact, he already has a good friend, Gigi Ho.

"I dated 8 times." He paused and started counting: "1, 2, 3,4...I had more before I entered the industry, about 6 or 7 times." As a Prince, he is bound to have many relationships.

Gigi Ho

In FH3, Edwin crashes into the men restroom and sees Aimee in her bra. That scene broadcast last week and got a peak rating of 32 points. This also gets Prince Siu recognition from the audience that he can indeed do comedies.

"I came in with messed up hair, currently I don't care about my image when I'm acting. In the past, I would be so caught up by how my hair is blow dried or if this or that isn't pretty enough. Actually I done a lot more [in the scene], but a lot of it was cut out. There was one part I was hugging the urinal as I shouted: 'This is the men restroom! The producer said it does not make sense for forensic professionals to be this nasty. Unzipping the zipper is also something I added myself."

Edwin isn't as great as he was before, when speaking of the rumor that he was pursing Aimee Chan, he smiled and admitted he lost to Moses Chan and that that there is a sense of entertainment.

"That time, it was mainly because reporters followed Aimee. She and I were in North Point shooting a scene together, just eating eggettes and the reports were written as if 'acting turned real'. Aimee and I knew what was going on, but there isn't any awkwardness when we see each other."

The main storyline involves Moses, Aimee and a third party. This makes the story even more exciting. Edwin understands how the entertainment news operates, but in fact he already has a partner. His partner is Scoop's host Gigi Ho.

"She is a good friend, I don't know like to tell the world that I found a good friend to chat about my deep feelings with. I will cherish this, but relationships is like a 3 month old fetus, very sensitive. I don't want to say too much that could affect the development of the relationship."

It was said their contact is very secretive, the two also went on a trip to Macau with Edwin's mother.

"It is actually just a trip with my mother, but Gigi was also working in Macau as a host for a function, so we had dinner together. It is nothing special, nothing like meeting the parents. She's really amazing, she knows a lot of people. She helped me book the hotel room for half the price."

Edwin is 34 years old, so dating is very normal. He clarified Sharon Chan isn't a matchmaker, he got closer with Gigi at Zhu Kai Ting's wedding last September. Is there a chance to develop further? He firmly answered: "There is a chance!"

Model Girlfriend

When asked how many times he dated, Edwin threw out a large number: "8 times." He said since high school, he didn't have to really pursue girls at all because he just naturally had girlfriends.

"When I was about to enter the industry, I had a very helpful girlfriend. That time I was a model, and she was too. We were under the same company, later I participated in the new talent singing contest, she helped me pick out the clothing and brought my family to come see me. Soon after, I signed with Jackson Lee, chose the songs and signed the contract, she still attentively took great care of me. However, when I officially became a singer, she started drifting away from me, like she just completed her mission. She said she can predict a lot of jealousy and sneaking around. She didn't want to go through that and hoped to find a boyfriend outside of the industry. Suddenly, she decided break up with me, I assured her that my heart won't change, but that didn't help. Later, I went looking for her and we got back together for a short while. Eventually she said the same thing to me. We dated for two years, so I was really hurt, but I had no time to cry because I was really busy as a singer. The next day, I worked from day to night because this relationship just somehow ended, which made me especially heartbroken."

Thought I was Gay

"When I was developing my career in Beijing, I met a girl from Singapore. We were together for 3 years. She is an actress, by the surname of Fu. We were shooting The Golf Beauty together. My Mandarin isn't good, so she would often teach me. She didn't keep her distance at all, and even came to my room to teach me. Actually, she thought I was gay. It was only later when she learned the truth. During the time we were shooting the series, I was really happy. It was considered love in a different place. We were shooting in Hangzhou, a beautiful place called West Lake. We went to many different places together. When the shoot ended, we were both busy with our own work, but considered continuing the relationship. Later, we decided that love is everything, so we rented a place and lived together. That time, my relationship with my company was unclear, I often didn't have any jobs. She was very supportive. When I was feeling down, wondering why I am stuck here? She comforted me. We would often go traveling, going to many different places. She was the most important person in my life."

After three years of cooking together, living together and having a group of common friends, Edwin says it felt like they were married. In 2008, he decided to come back to Hong Kong and sign with TVB. This led to their break up.

"She didn't want to go to HK, in fact she didn't want me to be in this industry. I considered this, but ultimately, my mother wanted to be back in HK. I also wanted to give it a try. I was reluctant though, she was in Beijing, I was in HK. I once tried hard to maintain the relationship, whenever I didn't have work, I would fly over to Beijing to see her. She came to see me too, but she really needed someone to be by her side. It's quite a pity actually."

How is his ex-girlfriend doing now? Edwin does not dare to ask, he just knows she's back in Singapore and retired from being an actress. She opened a hair salon and is living her life well.

The responsibility of the Elder Son

Edwin did not hesitate to say that of the many girlfriends he loved, there were several that misunderstood he was gay.

"Looking back at my old pictures, I did indeed have big red lips, really did look kind of gay. Later, I tried to get tanned as much as possible, so I can change this image. I also tried to lower my voice."

His nickname is Prince Siu, but in fact he didn't come from a wealthy family. He definitely can't compare to Juno [Mak]. His father works at the Correctional Services, but because he didn't like to suck up to his manager, he remained in a low position. In high school, Edwin learned that his father had cancer in the nose and throat, turns out that he was ill for several years already and has been hiding from the fact from his children.

"I am the oldest son, I have a younger sister and a mother. I started to feel the sense of responsibility. If I didn't have to look after my whole family, I had to take care of myself. While studying computers, I worked part-time in sales, real estate, sushi making and many other jobs. Later, I became a model, but it wasn't because I had dreams to become a superstar. A 4 hour booking is HK$500. I earned a lot more than an average young person."

Battle for Newcomer Award

Edwin's singing mentor was Elisa Chan. Jackson Lee started Music Nation under Richard Li's PCCW. Introduced as Miss Chan Chan's student, Edwin was recognized and due to this, back then he was the Newcomer King. Several millions were invested to promote him.

"I was really scared too. I was just a normal guy that suddenly saw posters everywhere I went. Those days felt like a dream, didn't feel real at all. At that same time period, my company also gave me the opportunity to release two music albums."

His assistant covered all his hairstyles and makeup, he did not have to come in contact with the public at all because his company would answer all questions by the media.

"I was in the company's car more than I was at home. The car comes pick you up at 9am and then drops you back home at 1am. That same routine went on for 6 months."

His 'dream' included an MV directed by Stephen Chow, of course this is all because of the relations Jackson Lee had.

"One night, I saw Sing Yeh [Stephen Chow] in the office. We were in a meeting together, he strictly asked me: 'How do you think you will portray this role?' I was like muted and didn't know how to answer."

Another part of his 'dream' was when Anita Mui specifically praised that he's the best Newcomer. That year, the newcomer award battle was intense. The top 3 were Juno, Shawn Yue and Edwin.

"I went in as a fighter, there was a lot of news too, some were really crossing the line, but it was all purely for promotions."

The downfall of his career

The peaking point was the TVB Newcomer Award that landed on Edwin's hands. He made a high-spirited boastful statement: "Evil Cannot Defeat Good", which caused attacks from all sides. Edwin was heavily criticized by the public [because everyone thought he was too proud and was talking about Juno].

"That one statement almost K.O me. Later, I had a lot of negative news. To some extent, the news were all related to that one statement I made. I don't regret saying it because I know deep down I wasn't directing it towards anyone. I was just talking to my boss (Jackson Lee). You know he's that type of person too. Prior to the event, I heard I won't win, and will only get the silver award. But I couldn't believe it was opposite of what I thought, so when I got on stage, I went crazy."




(The o?o?o? TV commercial)

After the incident, the more Edwin tried to explain, the worse it got. The most wrong move he made was participating in the [o?o?o?] TV commercial.

"People laughed at me, saying I looked stupid. Sandra [Ng] called me vulgar on TV, I saw it too. The commercial had this kind of demand, my company agreed too. I didn't have a say in this. Not long after the commercial ended its broadcast, I remained in HK to calm down. In these several months, I was really unhappy, hid myself at home. Later, my company made arrangements for me to go to Mainland."

The enlightenment of his Father suffering from cancer

When Edwin was shooting a series up north, his father had already been fighting his cancer for over 10 years, and has already reached the final phase. Edwin was feeling even more down and worried he would affect his father's emotions.

"It was very difficult for him, I was really afraid he would see me on the news. The reports had a lot of ugly words, calling me a magnet that goes around playing with girls. I was in Beijing, but I felt like I haven't completed my tasks in HK before leaving. I was afraid people would think I couldn't handle it, that my company didn't want me. My feelings were not the priority, the most important was my family. I was really afraid my relatives would be asking: 'Where did your son go?' And [my parents] won't know how to answer."

His father's cancerous cells spread to his liver, then throughout his whole body and eventually he was hospitalized indefinitely. Edwin went to see him and what touched him most was he remained strong: "I know he was really in pain. He used less morphine than others, but I never heard him complain at all."

When Edwin's father died, he was not by his side, but in Chengdu working.

"He was seriously ill during this time, I was with him in the hospital 24 hours a day. It was weird, the doctor said his heart was still beating, but when I really couldn't stay any longer and rushed back to Mainland for work, my father passed away. I really think it was because he didn't want to let his children see him at his weakest."

Grateful of Producer Miu Siu Ching

His father's strength, gave him a lot of enlightenment. Edwin said: "All the setbacks in my career, is it considered anything? So, I really wanted to go back to HK and start over. This was my greatest driving force."

Edwin has been back in HK for 4 years, he said the first year he spent most of his time waiting. Once he waited 6 months and still no jobs, but later, the waiting paid off.

"My screen time increased more and more for each series. The producers tried using me in one series after another. I am especially grateful of Miu Siu Ching. I have been continuously shooting 4 of her series including the Emperor in Beyond the Realm of Conscience, Dai Fu Ma in Can't Buy Me Love and the current Forensics Heroes III. If it wasn't her, I wouldn't have had a series at all. Recently I have been shooting Lee Tim Shing's Ladder to Heaven. I really want to thank him for taking the risk in casting me as the big villain in this series."
