The episode broadcast the night before, about the aftermath of Ka Lok (Linda Chung) and Ko Wan Jim (Michael Tse) affair, led to the break up of Ka Lok and her boyfriend Dai Ting (Ron Ng). The couple weren't able to continue with their marriage and their performance moved audience to tears. Also, the scene where Michael Miu smacked his little sister Linda and hit Michael (Tse) shouting 'PK' to him, stirred up a very large reaction.

Viewers had a huge reaction to the foul language 'PK' being broadcast on TV. Reporters contacted Michael (Tse) about the issue, he laughed he does not mind getting scolded during the new year holidays. He laughed: "It's just another way to express sympathy!" As for producer Nelson Cheung, he expressed several series from the past had this 'foul language' broadcast too, TVB has a specific department responsible for examining the lines. If there is a problem, then they will point it out and so it should be no problem.

Earlier Linda Chung had an astonishing 'cry' scene in Yes Sir, Sorry Sir, and this time in L'Escargot, she continues the crying to draw in more viewers. There were some readers that complained that there is all this crying and weeping on TV over the Lunar New Year holidays, but at the same time, there are also praises. It was said Linda's crying has improved, a reader said it was a pity Linda couldn't get the My Favorite TV Female Character Award last year at the TVB Anniversary Awards for her role in 'Miss Koo'. The reader strongly supports Linda to get TV Queen for her Ka Lok role in L'Escargot.

Yesterday Linda said over the phone: "The award ceremonies are still so far away from now, I do not dare to say anything. I thank audience for all the support. (Did you have a difficult time crying?) When I was shooting that scene, I was feeling very emotional, really cried so much that my eyes became swollen. (Shouldn't be broadcasting such tragic crying scenes during Lunar New Year?) I hope everyone doesn't just concentrate on the crying, we just wanted to bring a positive message. The most important is the whole family happily together." Also, in the series Linda and Michael had an affair, and broke Ron's heart. It was said the ending will be a tragic one, although Ron forgave Linda, but Linda couldn't forgive herself and declined to reconcile with him!

Charmaine Sheh will rely on 'When Heaven Burns' for next year's TV Queen

Two years ago, Charmaine Sheh participated in the production of TVB series When Heaven Burns, but 18 episodes have already been broadcast and still the TV ratings are not doing too well. As for the public responses, it has been a mix of good and bad. Some people didn't understand the method of expression of space and time and can't accept cannibalism. On the contrary, some praised that the story is refreshing, something new. However, a common point is audience all agree that Charmaine's acting is good. There are some Netizens who felt pity for Charmaine, that if the series aired before the TVB Anniversary, Myolie Wu may not have got the TV Queen title. It looks like Charmaine's charms are still strong.

Charmaine said: "Perhaps next year I'll still have a chance to be in the TV Queen competition. I hope we all don't forget about When Heaven Burns when the time comes. I am quite pleased with the response, this proves there are improvements. I thank producer Jonathan Chik for giving me [the opportunity] to portray 'Yip Chi Yan'. In fact, improvement is the most important for artists. Awards are a great encouragement. This time, it is enough that the series got pretty good feedback. As for the praises by Netizens, I don't dare to take it. Perhaps the genre, characters and producer are different, Myolie [Wu] is a very hardworking artist. I am happy that she got the awards. For whatever it is, we can never please the whole world. After all, there will be people that are happy and people that are unhappy."

Charmaine reveals when she received the When Heaven Burns script, she already knew the parent generation may not like the series because the genre is more complex and different. In fact, the younger generation will like it more. In the end, Charmaine's thoughts were correct. She said: "I personally love my Yip Chi Yan role, she is different from my past roles. She bears a very heavy burden, because when she was a teenager, her boyfriend died and her good friends didn't take up the responsibilities, therefore she carries heavy emotions. Each time I have to do my homework. Although the ratings for this series is only average, I feel we have won the public praises and that's enough for me. Good or poor ratings is more about the right time, place and conditions. The ratings often do poorly near the end of the year, it is something artists cannot control."

Winning praises from Netizens, will Charmaine be participating in Jonathan Chik's War and Beauty sequel next year? She said: "Under my contract with TVB, I must shoot at least a 20 episode series per year. However, February 2012 I already agreed to take part in a Mainland drama. The crew has already done all the preparations too. I am working very hard to match the schedules. If everyone does some accommodating, I can shoot War and Beauty 2." With that said, Charmaine still has a chance to be part of next year's TVB grand production.

Myolie Wu & Kevin Cheng crowned Astro's TV King & Queen

The Malaysian channel Astro Wah Lai Toi held their My AOD Favourite Awards Presentation 2011 yesterday. The show will be broadcast on December 3rd on AOD. The 'My Favorite TV Best Actor and Actress' awards went to Kevin Cheng and Myolie Wu. Michael Tse and Fala Chen shared the 'My Favorite TV On-Screen Couple' award and Wayne Lai just got one of the 15 presented 'My Favorite TV Character' awards.

The results for the Astro TVB awards had always been very close to the TVB Anniversary Awards results. However last year Moses Chan and Charmaine Sheh broke the tradition on the 'My Favorite TV Best Actor and Actress' awards. This year, it is uncertain if it would be happiness or sadness for Kevin Cheng and Myolie Wu at the TVB Anniversary Awards.

A hot favorite for TV Queen this year, Myolie Wu appeared in a see-through flowered dress to the awards presentation. Since the other TV Queen hot favorite, Fala Chen, was absent from the event due to work and Myolie wasn't nominated for her role in Ghetto Justice, but for her grand production Curse of the Royal Harem, so Myolie appeared quite domineering.

When Myolie received her award, she became very emotional. Raymond Lam, who was sitting in the audience, took the lead to start shouting Myolie's rumored boyfriend Bosco Wong's English name, causing her some embarrassment. Myolie said: "Thank you Tommy Leung for not giving up on me over the last 10 years. It is him (Bosco) that told me to not thank him, but I will still thank him!" Bosco just brought up how Myolie teased he had a short tongue at the TVB Anniversary Gala: "I told her not to mention it again!"

Depending on Ghetto Justice, Kevin Cheng was crowned Astro's TV King, he frankly said: "Someone asked me, taking this award, means that I won't get the TVB award. I feel really contradictory right now, then am I going to get it or not? (The audience cheered loudly 'Yes!') Then I feel better now, I need to take advatange of this time and speak more because I won't have too many chances."

Sharon Chan, won 'My Favorite TV Supporting Actress' for her role in Ghetto Justice. When she accepted the award, she was crying emotionally and pointed her award up to the sky saying the award is for her father. As for Fala Chen, she was absent from the awards presentation, but the event organizers made arrangements for a "Malaysian Fala Chen", who is actually the Miss Malaysia winner (Lim Jia Bing) to present the 'My Favorite TV On-Screen Couple Award' to Michael Tse.

Also, although Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung and Ruco Chan didn't pocket any big awards, but yesterday morning when they arrived in Kuala Lumpur, they got a large group of fans waiting at the airport to pick them up. Compared to the other TVB Siu Sang and FaDans that came with them, the three were more popular. Ruco mentioned his late grandmother is a from Malaysia and is surprised seeing his rise in popularity.

Jessica Hsuan crowned TVB's 'Queen of Hostages'

TVB Anniversary Awards will be held on December 5th. Who will be the next TV Queen, the answer will be reveal that night. However, Jessica Hsuan gets a head start, as she is first crowned as "TVB's Queen of Hostage" and it was said the "Best Hostage Award" (TN: Not a real award..) should go to her. Being the Queen of Hostage, Jessica didn't just get that reputation without merit. In TVB, Jessica was held 'hostage' countless amounts of times, really "10 fingers can't count them all".

Following Law Lok Lam's record of "5 deaths in 24 hours", he becomes an artist that is internationally known. In TVB series, Jessica holds a record of being held 'hostage' 12 times and more.

At the Hong Kong Golden Discussion Forum (?????), there is a topic on "Jessica Hsuan is the Queen of Hostage". A determined Netizen went through Jessica's TVB series over the some 10 years she's been with the company and collected a bunch of screen captures showing the number of times Jessica has been held hostage in a TVB series. Her older series include Detective Investigation Files IV, Witness to a Prosecution, Game of Deceit, A Step Into the Past, Dicey Business, A Matter of Customs, Lady Fan, Golden Faith, Sisters of Pearl; the more recent series include Gun Metal Grey, A Pillow Case of Mystery II and the currently airing Curse of the Royal Harem. When counting the series that weren't 'caught' yet, it is estimated that Jessica has been held hostage more than 12 times.

A Netizen said TVB scriptwriters loves to tie Jessica up, while some Netizens scolded TVB for using the same idea for over 10 years. "Where there is brightness, there is darkness. Where there is superman, there is evil. Where there is Jessica, there is bound to be a hostage case." There are also some people who said in many specific scenes, for example, if there is a rape scene, Natalie Tong will definitely be there. If there is a scene of 'murder by a knife stabbing', there will be Kenneth Ma at the scene. Perhaps the truth is, TVB really does have a lot of hardcore fans

I am pretty pleased with my achievements this year. I have confidence to win the 'My Favorite TV Character' award. For TV Queen, I support Myolie Wu. It is not because I'm giving up on the award, but is because I still have room for improvement. I have been in the industry for 7 years, but still need to immerse myself more. I hope to get the award on my 9th or 10th anniversary." Asked if TVB internally decided to give Myolie Wu the TV Queen title? Linda said: "No, but this rumor is reasonable.

Myolie Wu & Fala Chen embraces while fighting for TV Queen

TVB Anniversary Awards 2011 held its press conference yesterday and announced the nomination list. However, only some artists attended the event including Liza Wang, Myolie Wu, Fala Chen, Elena Kong, Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Law Lok Lam, KK Keung, Jazz Lam, Sharon Chan, Sire Ma and Samantha Ko. Moses Chan, Wayne Lai, Raymond Lam, Kevin Cheng, Kate Tsui, Linda Chung, Bosco Wong and Tavia Yeung were all absent and didn't get to boost their momentum.

This year Bowie Lam, Wong He, Joe Ma and Bernice Liu were crowned the 'TVB Betrayers' as they did not a single nomination. On the contrary, Steven Ma, who is currently terminating his management contract with TVB, was nominated for Best Actor, My Favorite TV Male Character and Best Programme Host.

This year's TV Queen battle seems to be between Myolie Wu and Fala Chen. The two were recently rumored to be on bad terms. Yesterday the two did not have any sign of awkwardness and even took pictures together with mutual arms on waist. The two strongly proved the rumor false. Myolie said: "There are these kinds of reports every year, I just treat them as nonsense news." Does Myolie see Fala as an imaginary opponent? "The greatest opponent is myself. I personlly do have confidence, but I'm not certain. I won't know the feeling until the award is in my hand." Myolie said Kevin, Michael Tse and Bosco Wong all have work, so it was hard for them to attend. Whoever is the best, leave it for the audience to vote.

Fala said: "At first when I heard of the bad term rumor with Myolie, I felt a little unhappy! Why are they writing bad about me, exactly like an evil concubine? However, when I think deeper, this proves that I am worthy of being on the news." Perhaps the evil concubine would take the TV Queen seat? "I don't know, will have to see how the storyline proceeds. (Do you have complete confidence?) The confidence comes from TVB. I have always hoped to be nominated and be like Ah Jeh (Liza Wang), have jobs as long as possible."

Sharon is happy to be nominated for 'Best Supporting Actress' and 'My Favorite TV Female Character'. She feels her 'Hot Leg Goddess' role is her breakthrough role. She hopes to win this award as her award for her 10th anniverary in the industry.

Bosco Wong does not avoid supporting Myolie Wu for TV Queen

Bosco Wong, Michael Tse and Kate Tsui's Lives of Omission has been critically acclaimed. Friday's finale broadcast peaked at 40 points, making it the highest rated series so far this year. Yesterday the cast celebrated the success together. Fala Chen is currently busy shooting a series, thus absent from the event.

TVB executive Virgina Lok talked a lot about the TV Queen battle this year. It was said Stephen Chan supports Fala to become the Big Sister and take this year's TV Queen title. Miss Lok expressed TVB promotes FaDans on a 'step by step' basis, but she does not deny Fala recently has that Big Sister style and if she does win TV Queen, she (Virgina Lok) will be happy too. However, Miss Lok denied the decision has already been made internally.

As for Bosco, he openly expressed his strong support for his 'girlfriend' (Myolie Wu). He smiled and said he has to support her no matter what. When asked if he supports Fala more or Myolie? He said: "I personally support Myolie, really want her to win and honestly speaking she does work very hard." Bosco said he watched the clips of his 'girlfriend' at the Venice Film Festival and complained her evening dress for the red carpet was not sexy enough. Bosco said: "She bought me red wine, that cheap girl, there's so much leather there and she didn't buy of it."

Kate was happy to find out the ratings peaked at the scene where she was in tears reading 'Bai Co' last letter to her. When speaking of who she has in mind for TV Queen, Kate reveals she supports her good buddy Myolie. Kate laughed and said Bosco has been busy shooting lately, thus lessen her opportunities to make some extra money with her partner. She joked she's just sticking by Laughing (Michael Tse) , but Michael was too into character and gave Kate a lemon. He said: "I have recently been partnering up with Madam Jo more to make the money. It's a little weird taking Kate along, feels like I'm stealing Bai Co's girlfriend." Asked if he dislikes Kate? Michael said: "I never said that, just following the sponsor's requests." Michael does not mind the 9 point difference between the average and peak ratings. He said: "That is not important, I care more about the reactions, myTV had 6.4 million clicks."

Also, Myolie accepted Eileen Cha's radio interview yesterday and when speaking of her trip to Venice, she expressed she had limited time and couldn't get a souvenir for Bosco. Meanwhile at this event, Bosco said he received red wine from her, looks like there are some differences in the two's statements.

Fala Chen's role as Madam Jo in Lives of Omission has been a great hit, viewers are very concerned if she'll lives or dies in the finale. With Fala's popularity rising, it has already been rumored TVB internally reserved the TV Queen seat for her this year.

Regarding Stephen Chan's return to TVB, Fala said yesterday at the 'NBA Madness 2011' event: "We rarely keep in touch, but I am happy for him!" A magazine said Fala is favored by TVB's new boss Chan Kwok Keung and it has already been set for her to become this year's TV Queen, she modestly said: "I do not believe in gossip magazine reports. I feel Linda Chung, Kate Tsui and Myolie Wu did very well too. I only have 50% confidence and I'll be happy enough to be part of the nominations. The results depends on the votes from viewers and executives."

Asked about the Lives's finale, Fala advertised: "I filmed two endings, but the Producer can edit the series into several other different endings. Sometimes even the artists won't know, so whatever the magazine exposed, may not be the truth."

I know Lives of Omission is getting good ratings, having to choose is truly difficult for us. (How about TV Queen?) Yes Sir, Sorry Sir's Linda Chung and The Rippling Blossom's Myolie Wu aren't bad choices. (Do you have confidence for yourself?) Honestly I may not even be there because I may not be able to attend.

With the success of this role, my self-confidence really is stronger!" As she is in Malaysia for work, she probably won't be able to watch the finale with the rest of the cast. Linda felt that if everyone thinks Moses is a 'cheap man', then that proves his acting was a success.

Moses Chan says "Touch Wood"

Towards being labeled as 'cheap man' and Netizens wanting to 'kill' him, Moses said: "Choi! Touch Wood, it's just acting! In the beginning, I did discuss the role with the Producer, he said that there will be a place for me to prove that my cheating was forced by circumstances. Only then did I accepted the role. I'm not worried." Queenie Chu who plays Linda's older sister in the series was also touched by Linda's crying, she said: "I cried, heart breaking!"

Cilla Kung plays a student in the series and too praised Linda's acting as outstanding, she strongly supports her to be crowned TV Queen: "I feel this is a very good breakthrough, at first she was very cool and then when she's in a relationship, she gets really sweet. Last night, my whole family was very into watching her hysterical scene. I was even crying too!" Also, TVB and the Broadcasting Authority received 2 complaints on Yes Sir bringing the bad message of cheating relationships, which is not suitable to be broadcast at that time slot.

In her career, TVB Dong Ka FaDan Charmaine Sheh is leaving, the other FaDans now have a chance to fight for the big sister position, Myolie has already entered the battle. She said that the TV Queen title is one of her goals. As for her love life, she is surrounded by rumors on her developed relationship with Bosco Wong, who is a year younger than her.

Sonjia Kwok exposed that she's dating and shared the good news with everyone. On the contrary, Myolie avoids talking about her love life, she said: "I don't want to just talk about relationships, well...I'll go back and think about it." Regarding Bosco, Myolie just gave short answers on what she's asked. In fact everyone accepts them, otherwise TVB wouldn't have made arrangements for them to collaborate as a couple team so many times. Myolie said timidly: "I guess." Myolie and Bosco sparked in 2005 after their collaboration in War of In-Laws, in a blink of an eye it has already been 6 years, she admitted that there was once a pretty good pursuer that appeared in her life, but in the end it was "better to be friends". Why didn't she give other people a chance? She laughed: "I will envy a little, girls are not afraid of having many pursuers, but perhaps of my horoscope, I'm not that type that locks up, I don't want people to misunderstand." But in reality, her 'lock' is on Bosco.

Changes mind, accepts 'sister-brother love'

Since Myolie and the one year younger than her Bosco were surrounded by rumors, she broke through the fate of TVB's heavily rumored FaDans, she laughed: "You all wanted to write just about him that's all." Back then, when the rumors were going around, Myolie publicly said several times: "I will not accept guys younger than me." How about now? She said: "Well of course it's better to choose someone older. It's enough if he's just older than me mentally (his personality)." Things have changed, Myolie is now able to relax her restrictions, she laughed: "Yes, as long as I keep it well myself." Is Bosco's personality mature? Myolie laughed brightly: "Not really, he's basically like a little kid." Are they dating, but refusing to make it public? She couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "I don't know how to answer you..Ah!"

Although women have many strengths, the majority of them would announce their 'final destinations' by age 30. The 31 year old Myolie also has her own views: "Have to see if that partner, really is the happiness. I am rather pessimistic, unless I'm really sure it's that person. If not, then it's better to leave the most beautiful memories instead." Myolie grew up in a single parent home, her parents' divorce indeed had an impact on her. Will she ever get marry? She thought for a moment: "If I find the right person, I will. But it's not easy to find one."

Regarding her future direction, Myolie didn't think about it: "Every stage in life have different needs. I see many girls, like Jessica Hsuan, she's 40 years old and still very happy and young. Thinking for a moment, can I really work 10 more years? Before I thought, am I going to be married by age 35? But a few years later, will that marriage be too early? I would feel like it's a waste." She seems to be feeling 15/16.

How about having children? Myolie said: "I see my sister so happy because she already has 3 babies. It's one thing to be happy, but there are also a lot of sacrifices. You have to give your entire self to the child, I think I'm not ready for that yet. I have to find a reliable person and take this step with him together, that would be better. I have this thought, but if my other half doesn't, then it's going to be difficult."

Her roles are starting to have development, like in TVB's new unreleased series Ghetto Justice, where she plays an attorney and Queen of All as a scheming queen. She's no longer 'Wu Gwing Gwing'. Regarding making the Chinese yuan, Myolie felt it doesn't matter: "As long as I'm happy, just having jobs is enough. If there are jobs, then it proves I have a market. Also, I'm a killer (hardworking), constantly shooting series." As to Netizens once said she looks like a "Sad Rock" ('Gwing'), and taking her crying face to joke around with. She said: "There are a lot of different fans online, some supports you, some don't. They can do anything they want, I will listen to Netizens' comments. If there are negative comments, then I will look to see if it's reasonable and then I will see how I can change."

Not giving up on singing

In 2005, Myolie gained 42 pounds to play the role as Fei Tin (To Grow With Love), but in the end the TV Queen award went to Charmaine Sheh for her role in Maiden Vow. However, now that Charmaine is leaving, Myolie directly admitted that she wants the TV Queen title: "TV Queen is of course one of my goals, but it needs to be the right time. If it comes, it comes, if I doesn't, then it's fine too. I am not going to fight for it, the most important is to work hard on my jobs. That year when I did Fei Tin, people pitied me a lot because it was a big sacrifice and I didn't get anything back. In fact, I wasn't unhappy because I already tried my best on completing my duties. Right now I won't think too much, like singing, I just like to do it. How many 20-30 years old do we have in life? It can't be that I start singing at age 40 right? Every person wants the best, to be the top, going up to Joey Yung's status as the big sister in the music industry. But, how many can be the big sister? Only one. TV can only have one too. I have thought about focusing on singing and giving up on TV, or just focus on TV and give up on singing. However, I can do things that I like doing, so I kept both."

Resuming his GM position at TVB not long ago, Stephen Chan also attended and even greeted Sheren.

Towards the ratings and TV Queen title, Sheren said full of confidence: "I especially scheduled to come back to HK tonight for this event, actually for every promotion, I specially made arrangements to attend. I turned down a lot of jobs to earn extra money, but no choice how much can I take, I fell it's worth it! (TVB promoting NR, paving the road for awards?) I don't feel it's like that! It's an anniversary series, we already said earlier that we'll be watching the finale together. But if it's not true, not bad, I will get Tung Tai's 3000 disciples to vote! (Taking the opportunity to pull in votes?) Not necessary! The ones who watched NR will automatically vote for us. (Have confidence ratings will surpass Jewels In The Palace?) Definitely win! if not, I will accept the reality, write the 3 words of my name 'Cheng Gau Mui's backwards, I am saying my role 'Cheng Gau Mui!"

Sheren continues: "On the night of the awards ceremony, I will be back in HK because I guessed that I'm in top 5. This is an event by the Hong Kong TV industry, to attend this event expresses your support. Mainland artists and staff are also very concerned of this awards ceremony. (You were just getting votes with the TVb executive?) I was just greeting Stephen Chan because I haven't seen him in a while."

TV King hot favourite Wayne Lai expressed that he has an injury on him: "Last night I was shooting for Lunar New Year film, I Love Hong Kong, when suddenly my leg had a 'pak' sound, my left leg could not bend at a wide angle, Eric Tsang said I had a muscle tear on my leg and should rest for two weeks before I go back to work. (Confidence for TV King?) Yes! But, have to see how the TV ratings are like, high ratings means greater chance. On TVB.com, NR has more than a million clicks, I discovered that a lot of people are following my series, I have confidence for good ratings." Yesterday afternoon, Wayne attended Christmas event and when speaking of "Chai Gau" and "Lau Sing roles bringing him more opportunities to earn extra money, he said: "Hard to compare, Rosy Business already finished broadcasting last year, NR probably needs to wait until next year before results are seen."

She said: "I told all the people around me to support the show, this year I am nominated for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, although I have already won Best Supporting Actress, I really like my role in NR, it is my turning point in my acting career, I hope to get recognition.

Linda Chung surrenders early for TV Queen

The rumours of Linda Chung and Raymond Lam have been going on for some time, but yesterday Linda Chung suddenly avoided talking about rumoured boyfriend during a mobile phone event. Actually, Linda felt that the rumours went on for too long and felt bored of it. She felt that since everyone knew that the relationship isn't real, then why would they want to talk about it again. Besides this, Linda who also has a chance to compete in "TV Queen" has earlier surrendered and admitted she lost to Charmaine Sheh.

Linda Chung and Law Chung Him were at Tsim Tsa Tsui yesterday attending a launch of a mobile phone. Linda was asked if she often loses her mobile phone? She said, "Because we can't carry our phone when we're working, so I often do not know where I placed my phone, I tried leaving it in my clothes' pocket, I also left it in the toilet before, but thankfully I got to find it back everytime. Although I have carefully used nicknames for artistes, but I'm also afraid that if I lose my phone, the contacts will be leaked out ." Linda pointed that the pictures in her phone are only images with taken with friends, nothing special, but she is also worried that if she loses her phone, her private messages will be exposed.

Linda was asked if she congratulated Raymond for his concert's DVD and CD's good sales? She said, "I didn't know about it, of course I would congratulate him, but I don't want to talk about this." She immediately switched the topic and said that she was envious of her brother in the series, Law Chung Him for having six packs. Linda suddenly avoided talking about Raymond, she was asked if she felt very irritated? She said, "I didn't think this way, but I feel that the rumours went on for too long, very boring. Since everyone knows that it is not real, why want to continue talking about it." She also said that she will work hard to look for her "prince of life".

Speaking about Linda who has been nominated as Best Leading Actress based on the series Ghost Writer, but she has announced to surrender earlier, "I am not very confident this year, I feel that my acting was just average, I personally support Charmaine, I really admire her and feel that she's very professional, she gets into her acting very fast and she's very punctual."
