One Bosco Wong photo used in 2 series, TVB's productions are sloppy and cheap

TVB is often criticized of their sloppy productions. The recent high rated series Witness Insecurity and Three Kingdoms RPG (both produced by Lau Kar Ho), were criticized that TVB wasn't serious about the productions. The former used the same Bosco Wong photo in two series, Witness Insecurity and Lives of Omission, while the latter had a large-scale battle scene without a single horse seen in it. No wonder Netizens teased that TVB's cheap!

Last night's episode of Witness Insecurity was about Linda Chung reading the newspaper that had Bosco Wong on the headlines. Bosco, who plays a police officer, was believed to have been waiting for his 8 year missing girlfriend, but the photo used on the headline was discovered by Netizens to have been the same exact one used in Lives of Omission. The difference was one is a cop and the other is a criminal. The latter said the criminal Bosco ("Bai Co") was shot to death, which means the one used in Witness Insecurity is a dead person's photo!

There were a lot of online discussions on TVB's 'one photo used for two series'. Reporters contacted Bosco, who is currently shooting in Mainland, he frankly expressed he hasn't watched the series yet because he's not in HK, but in regards to the criticisms: "I believe its just a small careless mistake, people make mistakes! I hope you all can forgive us." Lead actress, Linda said this is not something artists can control, but each series has a budget, the crew tries their hardest to do the best. It's normal that there are expectations from audience, but at the end of the day, its satisfying enough to have support from the audience.

Also, Linda is shooting one series after another. Lately she's been shooting new series Ferris Wheel Happiness with Jason Chan and has been 'promoted' to a See Jeh (senior), but Linda does not accept this title.

Linda laughed: "I am younger than Jason. Being a little girl forever is good! See Jeh is too old. I believe I'm still a newcomer since it has been less than 10 years that I've been in the industry. I'm still in the learning stage and still have room for improvement. I really need a senior to teach me. If I say I'm a See Jeh that fast, then it's a dead end for me. No one will dare advise me again."

When asked if she feels strain leading Jason? Linda expressed she doesn't, because Jason doesn't need anyone to lead him. Not only is he smart, he has also been in several series already. He's an experienced host as well, so he's definitely better than her in memorizing lines.

Vincent Wong matures after becoming a father; daughter is his utmost priority

Vincent Wong joined Neway in 2005 as a singer, but unfortunately after two albums, his singing career was going no where. In 2008, he joined TVB where he was given many opportunities in acting. Following Gun Metal Grey, Vincent plays a cop in Tiger Cubs once again. Although both of his roles had a police family background, but the former had much more confidence than the latter. The public believes being able to portray a SDU officer is hot and that it's any actor's dream to get this role, but only he knows the suffers of this role.

Vincent believes because SDU officers are 'hot', he has to look even fitter now. "Two months prior to shooting, the producer told me to start physical training. Since that time, each day for breakfast I ate 5 boiled eggs; lunch I had lean meat rice; afternoon tea I had potatoes; dinner steamed chicken. I was on that diet for 6 months until the end of shooting and I also had to do massive exercises. Also, the uniform and equipment were really heavy. Although it's not like the real thing 60 pounds, but we still had to carry 40 pounds, so that period was truly difficult, but that helped me get into character easier."

As Vincent is often given wealthy roles, he frankly expressed he's also afraid viewers may get bored, "I could only try to put variation in each of my roles. Just like my role in the recently completed Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles, I'm a rich kid again, but because I'm the illegitimate son, so there is a little evilness in me. I really like the role. Of course what I hope most is to be able to change my acting road, get different roles. Hope there will be this opportunity one day!"

Yoyo Chen is like a lover

Vincent has only been a father for two months and already feels pressured: "In the past, whatever I did, I just thought about whether I liked it or not, but now my daughter comes first. Whatever it may be, I think of my daughter first and I think far into the future. Currently my greatest wish is to save enough money to buy a home. I hope to give my daughter a better environment to grow up in. I feel I have matured and grew up!"

29 year old Vincent, looks matured on the outside, but he's still a big kid on the inside. He laughed and said after his daughter was born, its as if his wife Yoyo Chen has to look after another child. "I always say, Yoyo is like my big brother ('dai lo'), she's much more mature than I am. After we had our baby, we had less time together, but I still found my interests in life. Someone taught me, don't treat your wife as a wife, she should be like your lover and must maintain fresh feelings."

Recently, Vincent has been in more series and his roles are getting bigger and bigger. It seems like he's getting heavily promoted, but he doesn't feel satisfied yet because he lost his singing career. "That time, I released two albums, then my career came to a halt. There was a period of time I had no confidence and always thought people were talking about me. I hid myself at home. Luckily, my former manager recommended me to join TVB, that's how I was able to develop my acting career."

Ah Sa's sings live again, takes several deep breaths feels nervous

Earlier at TVB's Battle of the Singing Stars 2012, Ah Sa's live performance was below standards as she got off-key and didn't have enough air. Last night, she does another live performance on JSG. Her boyfriend William Chan was also recording for a separate episode of JSG as well. Ah Sa did not smile much, clearly showing her heavy emotions. When she stepped in the recording studio, fans cheered for her nonstop, but Ah Sa was still rather nervous and took several deep breaths when she stepped on stage. During her performance, Ah Sa recovered and performed the entire song before taking a final deep breath of relief.

In the last several days, there had been a lot of comments on Ah Sa's live performance, some supported her, while others wanted to bring her down. She frankly expressed she cannot be brought down that easily. She said: "I learn from the [constructive] criticisms and filter the [destructive] criticisms. (Feeling really stressed?) I already don't want to think about that word." Earlier her singing teacher Teresa Carpio expressed her company also has responsibility that she doesn't get enough sleep or enough to eat. She said: "I don't just learn singing from her, but she is also my mental coach. I hope I can do better. I think giving it some time and effort, it will be ok! What I'm most unhappy about is reporters calling my teacher."

After recording on JSG, Ah Sa frankly expressed she was so nervous on stage that one of her hands grabbed her other hand, and constantly told herself not to be scared. When asked how she felt when she got through the performance? She said: "Don't say that, give me some space and time."

Ah Sa's boyfriend William directly said Ah Sa is feeling pressure, but to avoid affecting her, he won't be going into the studio to support her. He said: "After all today she sang better, I am confident. Don't give her a death sentence just based on that one time." When Ah Sa later learned that her boyfriend having confidence on her, she nodded: "mm!"

Nicholas Tse eats Live Ants

Nicholas Tse Ting Fung in the film THE BULLET VANISHES (SIU SUT DIK JI DAN) played a hot blooded detective. In one bun eating scene he did not want any bad take, so he even ate live ants unfazed until the director yelled cut. His professionalism was praised. In the scene Ting Fung followed a deranged criminal. He hid in a dark and wet alley for a long time, several prop buns that were prepared for ration attracted a big group of ants. Because the cameras were already rolling, the crew originally wanted to stop and change the buns but Ting Fung did not want a bad take. He did not mind picking up the ant covered buns and taking a few big bites. Ants often crawled out from the corner of his mouth and fingers.

After the director yelled cut, the crew immediately took care of the ants that were on Ting Fung's face. Lau Ching Wan, Mini Yang Mi and others approached to show their concern. Ting Fung said that the move was even more able to express the concentration of the character, so he was decided to eat the "bun with extras". "It wasn't too hard to eat, it can even replenish protein in the body!"

Tony Leung Chiu Wai starts work Ailing

Tony Leung Chiu Wai in the film THE SILENT WAR (TING FUNG JEH) played a blind piano tuner with exceptional hearing; by chance he runs into the Zhou Xun played 701 Operation Office member who leads him to become an important member. Wai Jai in the film has to give up his pair of mesmerizing eyes, which are covered up with sunglasses and bandages. He said, "Without exchanging looks, this character is very hard to play; with the depiction of my insight about my surrounding environment with exceptional hearing, early in the shoot I need some time to grasp the character."

THE SILENT WAR is the second collaboration between Wai Jai and Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun said that this time they could not act with their eyes, which was somewhat difficult; yet they had more lighter and more humorous spots and she and Wai Jai got along very well.

The film shot on location in Shanghai. Wai Jai at first had to acclimatize and was often nauseous on the set. He did not want to affect the shoot and worked while he was ailing. Directors Alan Mak Siu Fai and Felix Chong Man Keung praised his professionalism and Zhou Xun for her much improved acting.

Criticisms on 'Three Kingdoms RPG': Kenneth Ma too old for role; poor special effects; too much profanity





 (Dinosaur scene looked too fake) 



 (Original cast in sales presentation which included Ron Ng and Steven Ma) 


(No horses seen in the war scenes) 

Raymond Lam and Kenneth Ma's time travel TVB series Three Kingdoms RPG premiered on Monday. The premiere averaged at 30 points, peaking at 34 points with about 2.18 million viewers. So far, Three Kingdoms RPG is the series with the highest rated premiere in the first half year.

In the series, Kenneth plays a gamer 'Win Sun', who accidentally goes into a time machine during a storm and travels back to the Three Kingdoms period and meets his idol ChuGot Leung played by Raymond Lam. 38 year old Kenneth's portrayal of the impulsive and skittish young gamer is pretty qualified, but Netizens thought he's too old for the role and isn't suitable to play this role. In the series, Kenneth had several lines in which he uses profanity, like when he mentions the 'HK Guy 18 Forms'. Yesterday the Broadcasting Authority receives 16 complaints on the use of profanity and the change in the cast from the sales presentation.

Mainland's big production Three Kingdoms (??) is currently broadcasting on Jade HD channel as well, some Netizens compared that with TVB's version, and said Three Kingdoms RPG's special effects were too elementary. The war scenes "didn't even have a few horses around" and the dinosaur scene was ridiculously fake. It was reported because during filming producer Lau Kar Ho resigned and coincided with the part-time employee strike, so TVB had to cut down on the resources. A Netizens teased the 11 year old A Step into the Past had better special effects than Three Kingdoms RPG.

Producer Lau Kar Ho responds to the criticisms

Producer Lau Kar Ho was very pleased by the high premiere ratings. He knows there will be a celebration soon, and although he has already left TVB, he still cares about the series. As for fans displeased by Kenneth replacing Ron's role. Lau Kar Ho explained: "Differences in the sales presentation and the actual series is nothing unusual. The sales presentation was done by another producer. When I started Three Kingdoms RPG, I already said I wanted to use the original cast of The Mysteries of Love." When speaking of the criticisms that Kenneth is too old for the role? Lau Kar Ho said: "Adjustments were already made in the plot, describing that Kenneth is actually not that young." As for the poor special effects, Lau Kar Ho explained Three Kingdoms RPG is rather on the silly and comedic side, which differs from the more serious Mainland version of Three Kingdoms (??).

Ah Sa eyes turned red at her poor performance of 'Next Stop Diva'

Last night at TVB Jade Red and White Singer Battle 2012, Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) performed the solo version of the Twins classic Next Stop Diva. It was shocking that Ah Sa's performance was below standards, she got off key and didn't have enough air. Netizens criticized her and called her performance 'God-Level Performance'. When Ah Sa learned of her poor performance she almost cried.

TVB miserably did a 'second killer' on EEG singer Adason Lo. He only got far camera shots and seconds on camera. Fans scolded TVB for being sensitive since they just gave the 'Fun Vote Favorite Performance' prize to their favorite artist Raymond Lam. It's no wonder Joey Yung shouted "cheater!"

Ah Sa debuted 10 years ago as the duo Twins with Gillian Chung, Next Stop Diva is considered one of their classics. Last might, Ah Sa performed a solo version, but gets off key and didn't have enough air, shocking audience. Netizens criticized her performance was a little scary and her boyfriend William Chan sings better.

Ah Sa was later interviewed, asked if it's been too long since she performed Next Stop Diva, Ah Sa asked reporters back: "Was it really that bad? I asked my assistant and they said it was okay." Reporters honestly admitted yes, Ah Sa was immediately embarrassed and her eyes were turning red as if she was about to cry. Then she used her phone to cover her face. After recovering from her emotions, Ah Sa expressed: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Actually I'm preparing to release my new album and really have been working hard. I practice 5 days a week." Reporters told her not to cry, she said: "No, I will work even harder."

Her boyfriend William Chan defended his girlfriend, he said: "I rewatched it when I got back, Ah Sa had to sing and shake fans' hands, I'm not trying to help her explain, but she had always been hardworking and we shouldn't be too harsh. I'm not biased on her, people know she has improved on her singing and she has been practicing all along." Ah Sa's colleague Vincy Chan expressed: "Any normal human being will make mistakes, I've had those times too, can't just erase all their hard work just because of that. Female singers aren't just singing, they have to wear heels and worry about the possibly of exposing themselves."

Adason Lo is a former ATV artist, at one point TVB neglected him, but last night, he was 'set free'. However, he only appeared in the opening, one dance performance with a group of young singers and just appeared 1 second on a close up shot.

Wong Jing's The Last Tycoon Wraps

The Chow Yun Fat and Huang Xiaoming starred film THE LAST TYCOON (DAI SEUNG HOI) has wrapped and will be released on the December Mainland holiday slot. Other releases in the period will be Stephen Chow Sing Chi's NEW CHINESE ODYSSEY (CHUI MOR JUEN KEI), Tony Leung Chiu Wai's THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI) and Jackie Chan's CHINESE ZODIAC (SUP YI SUN CHIU). Fat Gor described this holiday slot as very exciting. "Like the duel at Mt. Hua, people look forward to it."

The final scene of THE LAST TYCOON was an airport explosion. Producer Andrew Lau Wai Keung said, "Director Wong Jing is a film industry elder, I never expect him to take such risks for THE LAST TYCOON; this movie has been his dream of many years. I have to fully assist its completion."

Fat Gor has not worked on a Hong Kong film production in over a decade. Earlier he spent a long time in Hollywood. THE LAST TYCOON team was mainly from Hong Kong. That impulsive moment and invincible spirit were even more familiar to him. This time he worked with the Mainland Hui Man Keung (Huang Xiaoming), the feeling was also wonderful. Huang Xiaoming said, "Working with Fat Gor has been very memorable." Yolanda Yuan Quan said that working with Fat Gor was like a dream that she did not want to wake up from.

Fat Gor said that everyone's impression of Wong Jing was for his comedy, actually he was rather amazing with drama as well. Early on they worked together on the television series like THE GIANT (KEUNG YUN), CONFLICT (FUN DAU) and THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY (MONG JUNG YUN). This time his return to drama with THE LAST TYCOON would surprise everyone. Wong Jing thanked Fat Gor, "He put in a lot into his performance, he was Hui Man Keung, Mark Gor and God of Gamblers all three in one. Watching him perform is a blood boiling pleasure."

Mag Lam has to ask Sheldon Lo about rape scene

Mag Lam Yun Tung was almost the victim of a studio rape with record producer Clement Cheng Si Kit in the film DIVA, which resembled coincidentally to an earlier female artist's suspected rape case.

Lam Yun Tung was somewhat nervous about the first scene of this type. For the best result she asked for more takes. Lam Yun Tung said that Cheng Si Kit as the "dirty producer" was even more embarrassed than she was. "Because I was forced to the sofa, he was on top of me but was very afraid of touching me. He was very careful like I had spikes on my body." Did she run into anything similar in real life? Lam Yun Tung said, "I am not that attractive, in addition every time I recorded I had my manager on hand. No one would be interested in me." Did she practice the scene with her rumored boyfriend Sheldon Lo (Law Hau Yung)? Lam Yun Tung said, "I have more exchanges with him musically. Before the shoot I would ask for his opinion."

In another scene Carlos Chan Ka Lok in a hurry to save his girlfriend accidentally injured the manager Chapman To Man Jat. He had to viciously kick To Man Jat where it hurt. Before taking their marks, To Man Jat jokingly pleaded for mercy. "Brother Ka Lok, my descendants are on your legs. Please have mercy with your leg so my descendants will have a chance to survive." Finally the shoot went smoothly. To Man Jat praised Ka Lok for a fast, vicious and accurate kick.

Fiona Sit sells sex appeal, Eason Chan thinks its sexy not enough















Fiona Sit's first of two shows Filicious Fiona in Concert 2012 officially kicked off at Hong Kong Coliseum last night. This is Fiona's first HK Coliseum concert. Near the end of the concert, Eason Chan made a surprise appearance and surprised Fiona so much her jaws dropped. Fiona's concert kicked off with a 15 minute hot singing and dancing performance. She showed off her long legs and sexy dance costumes and often revealed her career line to attract audience.

On stage, Fiona performed love songs making audience feel really loved, but midway through her performance, she started tearing up and sobbing. Ex-rumored boyfriend Jaycee Chan handed her tissues and shook her hand. On the other hand, Khalil Fong, got special treatment as he appeared on stage twice and got a hug from her.

At the end of the concert, Jaycee laughed: "Good news! How can there be only us two today as Fiona's guests? So, this time we found Jackie Chan!" Watching Fiona's shocked expression, Jaycee shouted correcting himself: "I mean Eason Chan!" Once Fiona saw Eason come up from backstage, she was so surprised that her jaws dropped. Fiona was so excited she gave Eason two hugs, but Eason looked from top to bottom of her sexy dance costume and joked: "Huh? You have underpants in there? You know, married men like me are like that!" Then Eason exposed Khalil's secret: "He only gets excited over music and guitar, and doesn't have much interest on other things." Finally the two ended the concert beautifully with a duet Tourbillion.

At the afterparty, Khalil stuck by Fiona's side the whole time and even sat next to Fiona's mother. When asked if Khalil is like family? Fiona laughed: "I believe in Christianity, everyone is like family! (They did everything a rumored boyfriend is responsible in doing?) Definitely not going to use that word, before I started this show, I already didn't care how others think. Either I don't invite them at all, or I invite both of them. (You thought the guest was Jackie Chan?) In a split second I really did, really happy Eason Chan came though because I know he's doing a show with Ellen Loo." Fiona smiled and said after the show, the number one thing she wants to do is eat a good meal, and pretend that there will be an opportunity for part 2 of her concert.
