Reportedly, ["The Radiant City"] already started planning and invited a group of actors at the end of last year, especially keeping close contact with Julian [Cheung]. As he has maintained a friendly relationship with TVB for many years, he already agreed to take on the performanc without much consideration.

The trailer of "Radiant" appeared on TVB at the beginning of this year, which immediatedly sparked heated discussions among series fans; however, the start of filming was always all talk. In late-June, the relevant party previously issued a notice to the media for interviews for the blessing ceremony; however, it was later announced suddenly that was cancelled for unknown reasons. At the end of June, the cast and crew quietly gathered in Zhuhai to officially start filming. Related picture tidbits and pictures of the cast and crew celebrating the birthday of cast member John Chiang were leaked one after another. It was originally thought that everything was going well, but it turns out that, after completing the filming on July 5th, the series crew halted all work without warning and already returned to Hong Kong in batches, waiting to receive a notice to return to work in the future.

It is known that the reason for the 'halt' this time is that the relevant parties strive to make the script perfect and feel that modifications are still needed to ensure smoother filming in the future. This series originally planned to film on location in Zhuhai and Macau for three months; however, after the filming is restarted afterward, the Macau portion may be cancelled. Julian, who is taking on two projects, left the team shortly after the blessing ceremony to join artistes Jordan Chan, Pakho Chau, et al. to record the variety programme "Call Me by Fire 5". Halting the filming of "Radiant" will not affect him too much for the time being. However, it is known that the recording of "Call" will continue until October, and the filming of "Radiant" has already been delayed several times. He may have other work arrangements immediately after; his schedule may not be able to accommodate it; thus, it is speculated that the worst-case scenario is that this series may change the actor at any time!

When interviewed, Julian's frame of mind was not affected by the halting of filming and simply replied, "The halting of filming and the modification of the script are all for making improvements. It's a good thing, and I can also complete the work at hand in an orderly manner. As for other things, waiting for the the company's notification. It's good [if you] let nature run its course for everything".

Alice Chan: Stopped After One Day of Filming in Zhuhai

Artiste Alice Chan is taking part in "Radiant". This newspaper asked her about the halting of filming. She expressed, "Previously worked for one day in Zhuhai, but stopped the second day". She said that she does not know what happened, and the relevant parties did not reveal the reason to her.

Jessica Hsuan Not Satisfied with Her Performance and Asks Gallen Lo for Advice on Acting, Bosco Wong Gets on Intimate Terms with Jacky Cai

Jessica Hsuan, Lawrence Ng, Bosco Wong, Jacky Cai, Kenneth Ma, et al. promoted the Shaw Brothers series "Prism Breaker" today, announcing that last week's ratings peaked at 21.4 points (1,380,000 million viewers). Jessica and Lawrence are in the same series again after many years. The two lamented that it was a pity that they did not have scenes with each other this time, hoping to have the opportunity to work with cast of "The File of Justice" again in the future. Lawrence made it clear that it would be best to not film in ancient costumes; other genres are fine: "Comedy is also quite good. Can also be a comedy version of 'Prism' called 'Criminals' (《犯法者們》). As soon as [you] hear the title, [you] know it's a comedy!"

Talking About "The File of Justice" Brings the Nostalgia Back

The two recounted their collaboration history. Lawrence immediately tested Jessica's memory: "Do you remember what was first filmed?" Jessica immediately replied, "It was 1996's 'Outburst'!" Talking about the most memorable series they collaborated on, the two both chose the "File" series, which was filmed very happily. Lawrence expressed, "Because we were always together. There was Bobby (Au Yeung) and Jessica; it is very funny with the both of them together...particularly happy". Jessica also expressed, "This is one of the happiest series that I have filmed since I entered the industry". The two expressed that they are still in touch with William So and Michael Tao, whom they collaborated with in the past. Although they may not be able to find the time to have a meal together, would also send each other birthday wishes.

Jessica was praised by netizens for her 'ceiling-style acting skills'. She said, "I was a bit startled when I heard that because I was not satisfied with my performance this time. Was a bit annoyed with myself. Have not played many murdering roles. Really did not know how to do it. Felt pressured".

She revealed that she asked her seniors for advice on what she could and could not do when playing such roles: "I asked Gallen [Lo]. He is my senior in acting and has much more experience than I do. Have watched him act since [I] was young. He suggested that I not smile; however, in the series, I also did a slight smiling action". As for being compared with the TV queens Charmaine Sheh and Tavia Yeung, who wore the same prison prison uniform in series, she laughingly said, "We were all in prison in Hong Kong, so the prison uniforms should be the same. The plots are different, so there is not much to compare".

Considers Showing Off Singing Skills at Birthday Party

Jessica will have her birthday on the 18th of next month and will be holding a celebratory event with fans then. Lawrence humourously recommended invited Michael to sing at her birthday party. Jessica laughingly said that her fans actually hope that she will sing: "Feel pressured because it will be posted online. Certainly have think about it clearly. It depends on the time this year. Will sing if there is the time to practice".

Lawrence was praised by netizens for playing a villainous role fittingly; however, he does not think that that his character is a villainous role: "Ninety percent a good person. Only 10 percent was having a different position. Also not a villain". Earlier, a report of an artiste involved in gambling was brought up. Lawrence emphasized that the contracts for advertisements and filming series are strict now, admitting that he went to the casino to gamble for fun ten years ago. However, definitely cannot go now. If [he] is found out, would get sued and pay [for damages]: "Would also absolutely not go to any place related to gambling now. Unless it is filming, then there is no choice".

Bosco and Jacky have worked together for the eighth time and were finally arranged to play a couple. The two were even called the 'Bo Cai CP' (菠蔡CP). In the series, there were many intimate scenes. Bosco laughingly said that he was fortunate to get on intimate terms with Jacky, fulfilling a wish in his life. Jacky emphasized, "The happiest thing was being accepted by the 'Wong wives'...did not get hunted down".

When asked if there would be love sparks from kissing, Bosco laughingly said, "Would also not have a baby from kissing. We kissed the entire series. If the ratings are good with 24 points, I will kiss Jacky again on the spot!" Kenneth expressed that he and his wife, Roxanne Tong, attended the hundred days banquet of Edwin Siu and Priscilla Wong's son the other day, and gave a big red pocket to wish the baby good health. Talking about whom he thinks the baby resembles, he said, "I think that he resembles Priscilla. Edwin is not as pretty as his wife. It's better to resemble his wife! (When is it your turn to become a father?) Don't know! If there is one, I will definitely tell everyone". When asked if he would feel awkward being in the same place as his ex, Nancy Wu, he immediately said, "Would not. Why would it be awkward? We are all mature".

Kenneth Ma Receives Secret Formula for Having a Baby, Roxanne Tong Complains About Having No Time

TVB executive Virginia Lok's birthday is [today]. A birthday party was held in Tsim Sha Tsui [last] night. A large number of artistes in the industry attended the party, including Kenneth Ma, Roxanne Tong, Bosco Wong, Mat Yeung, Lisa Ch'ng, Shaun Tam, Michael Miu, Tracy Chu, Kelly Fu, Kayee Tam, Fei Wong, Carmaney Wong, Director Andrew Lau, Bill Ng, Bob Cheung, et al.

At the birthday party, Kenneth and Roxanne appeared together. Talking about their work trip to Malaysia earlier, it turns out that a dangerous incident occurred. Kenneth was originally scheduled to take off from Shanghai and arrive in Malaysia around 7am. Unexpectedly, when the plane was about to land, it diverted to Penang due to weather issues. After landing, had to wait for a while before flying back to Malaysia. Finally arrived in Malaysia around 11am, and fortunately made in time for the event. Asking Roxanne whether she worried about her husband, she said, "Recently, there have many of those plane accidents. (Kenneth interrupted, 'Worried about a hijacking'.) Touch wood. Luckily, Penang is also not far away. Was able to make it in time". Kenneth laughingly said that he was more worried about the client thinking that was late; however, this trip to Malaysia was very happy, and everyone was very enthusiastic.

Asking Roxanne if she was refuting rumours that she was pregnant by revealing her period on social media earlier, she explained, "No. I already wrote it before the rumours came out. It just so happened that people thought that I was clarifying it. Plus, I have already responded to the point that it has gotten boring". Kenneth said that friends often teach them the secret formula for having a baby. Edwin also gave a lot of advice; however, because there are too many secret formulas, he also cannot remember too much. Thankful for their kind regards, but they prefer to let nature take its course. It does not matter whether the husband and wife have children or are having a son or a daughter. Roxanne said that Kenneth is too busy...do not want to do some things when too tired. Will plan again when the lifestyle time is better. She also sweetly said that Kenneth promised to go on a honeymoon with her, but have to wait until he finishes filming "Airport Diary 2"...will probably be free at the end of the year or the beginning of next year. In addition, mentioning Roxanne saying that she would be irritable in her post about her period, she recalled that she was in an explosive state the entire time: "Had a displeased look after boarding the plane, but it's really very difficult to control [my] emotions. In a month, there's a day or two when I would also say sorry to him". Asking how her husband could help her, Kenneth expressed, "As a man, can't really help her. Just do [my] best to appease her emotions". After hearing this, Roxanne immediately praised him for being a great punching bag.

Samantha Ko Changes Hairstyle for New Series, Ron Ng Wants to Be Intimate with Kelly Cheung: "It's Finally My Turn!"

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

The new series "The Radiant City", starring Julian Cheung and Ron Ng, who are collaborating after 12 years, has already started filming in Zhuhai. The plot of "Radiant" involves the resentment of the upper class. [Today], the series crew specially selected the Fragrant Hill Hotel, an area with luxury properties, as the location for outdoor scenes, and will later shift to Macau for location filming. It is reported that more than 20 actors, including Alice Chan, Joman Chiang, et al., will join to enhance the 'star' power. A spoiler of the series' blessing ceremony [this] morning went viral online; it was seen that Julian took the initiative to chat and greet his group of partners, including John Chiang, creating a relaxed atmosphone. Apart from "Radiant", he also has to record the Mainland programme "Call Me by Fire 5", frankly saying that it is a great physical challenge...can only do all he can, hoping that both performances are up to standard.

Challenging an Antagonist with 'No Morals'

Ron expressed that he is working with the two goddesses Kelly Cheung and Samantha Ko for the first time, and he and Kelly are even playing a married couple. Asked if there are intimate scenes, he laughingly said, "Don't know yet! Hope so! Previously, she played a pair with Bosco (Wong) in 'Flying Tiger [II]'. This time, it's finally my turn. I have watched the series that she filmed...think that she performed very well. We can exchange with each other. Hope that there are sparks". Kelly is doing a reversal of her previous roles, as she is playing a major antagonist, being described as having 'no moral boundaries'; her performance is highly anticipated.

In addition, Samantha and Jeannie Chan are both changing their hairstyles to match their roles. Samantha, who has changed to short hair, said, "Got a haircut after attending Shanghai's Magnolia Awards the other day. Is more refreshing and helpful in getting immersed in the series".

Did Not Get to Go on an Oil Rig with Bosco Wong, Moses Chan Sighs That It Is a Stain on His Life

The series "Prism Breaker", starring artistes Bosco Wong, Kenneth Ma, Moses Chan, Him Law, Jeannie Chan, Jacky Cai, and Regina Ho, will be releasing tomorrow night. The cast and crew attended a promotional press conference in Tsuen Wan today, attracting the attendance of a large number of fans; it was a crowded scene. The organizer played a trailer during the event to attract passersby to watch the series.

Bosco, Moses, and Kenneth were interviewed together. Talking about having over 400 million clicks in Mainland, Bosco laughingly said, "Happy. The most important thing is that everyone likes it. It was so hard to shoot. With each of us having 100 million, it would be 300 million, and the remaining 100 million would be shared by the other (actors). Ha ha!" Talking about a climactic scene being shot on an oil rig, he was called the 'Supervisor of the Imperial Palace' by the 'Chief Commander' Virginia Lok, responsible for providing food, drinks, and entertainment. He said, "We created doing location filming on an oil rig for the first time in the history of television. It was also my first time going on an oil rig. It was hard, but felt everyone's unity because none of us had ever experienced such an environment before". After hearing this, Moses joked, "It is a stain on my life that I did not get to go on the oil rig. Really envious of Bosco. Not everyone can experience that".

Talking about his daughter in the series, Regina, already becoming a mother, Moses jokingly said on stage that he has become a 'maternal grandfather', and revealed that his nine-year-old daughter at home has already begun to look forward to being in love: "I am definitely instilling the thinking of Chinese people in her. I also told her that her daddy started dating when he was an adult. She has no other choice. Ha ha! Didn't expect that she would also be a love brain. (Are you scared?) Of course, I'm scared. Tell her that touching the hands is also a big deal! (Can you accept playing the father of such a big daughter?) In the world of drama, anything is possible. I have also played Sonija Kwok's father".

As for Kenneth being madly pursued by Jeannie in the series, he humbly said that he has never experienced it in real life, which made Bosco tease him: "He and Roxanne Tong are first loves". Kenneth immediately said, "Well, not going as far as that. My first love was when I was 21 years old. Was a classmate in university. (You pursued her?) Cannot say who pursued whom. Just naturally got together".

聽著哭著笑著　說著看著想著
身體𥚃面藏著一群人　誰和誰的糾紛
熟悉還是陌生　我們就是一個人
這個世界𥚃面　沒有人能發現
我和我們藏着的秘聞　掙不開的囚困
天空那麼混沌　可笑的身份
糾結的人生　殘缺不全的靈魂

*鏡子的倒影把一切了結
不能停歇　無法拒絕
鏡子裡瘋狂得聲嘶力竭
誰能理解　原來角色重疊

Repeat *

#你的世界　我的世界　他的世界　沒有分別

The actors of the TVB series "D.I.D. 12", Bowie Lam, Flora Chan, Owen Cheung, Yoyo Chen, Kelly Fu, Deon Cheung, Matthew Ko, Amber Chan, Gabriel Harrison, et al., watched the series' finale and celebrated in the evening together in Wan Chai.

Flora appeared in the finale of "D.I.D." as Bowie's ultimate personality, performing with her old partner again and bringing back memories for viewers. In an interview, she talked about her 'comeback' this time to film a series for TVB again, frankly saying that she was personally invited by Bowie and Director [Chung Shu] Kai; she also worked with Director Kai on "The File of Justice V" back then. When Flora was asked by hk01 why she was willing to make a guest appearance, she expressed, "I was extremely happy. Really have not filmed a series with Bowie for a long time. This scene was very meaningful to me. (Having not filmed series together for so many years, do you still have chemistry?) I think so. We have worked with each other several times before. There were some programmes and singing, and would also see each other from time to time". She also highly praised Bowie for being very considerate because, every year on her birthday, Bowie would also thoughtfully send her a message to wish [her] well. She also expressed that the two's relationship is quite good in private: "We are also in touch". Bowie expressed, "Actually, we have always been in touch. Previously, we even sang together. Director Kai wanted to look for Flora, so I tried to contact her, and she readily agreed. However, there were requirements for the filming. Either not filming or, if coming out, the script must be good, and the outcome of the filming is pretty and awesome". Although the two did not NG, Flora asked for a few more takes because she wanted to perform better.

Flora, who made a 'comeback' to film a series again, was asked whether she would be filming more series. She said, "Many people also asked me when I would be coming back to [film] series. Actually, I also never retired. Also really like to film". She has also always been comsidering it. Bowie thinks that the script is very important. After hearing this, Flora immediately said, "The people are also important. It depends on whom [you] are working with. Good in every aspect. People also need new experiences and to absorb more things. Learn more things from Bowie!" She, who is now working in education, obtained a doctorate degree earlier and hopes to combine what she has learned with performing to inspire more people. "It's just that [I] obtained a doctorate (Doctor of Education). Now, there is more time to devote to education work. At the same time, I would also occasionally film. Everyone, be on the lookout. (Would you consider filming a long series?) For the time being, have not thought about it. Really very busy recently".

Bowie frankly said that he hopes that "D.I.D." films a sequel. He said, "Everyone also asked me about my role. Actually, there are many things that have not been done yet". He also suggested that his series, "Untraceable Evidence", with Flora would also be able to film a new version...able to reunite with Flora, Lee San San, Deon, et al. then. Asking Flora whether she was interested in filming "Untraceable" again, Bowie laughingly answered, "If 'Untraceable Evidence 2026' is filming, she would definitely film it". In addition, when Flora saw Gabriel during the dinner, she even pulled him to take a picture together. She even revealed that Gabriel is actually her younger cousin.
