《我們這一家》 "ATASHI'nCHI"

I have been addicted to "ATASHI'nCHI" lately. "ATASHI'nCHI" in Japanese means "At My Home" or "My Family". It is a Japanese cartoon show adapted from its Japanese manga. The cartoon is about a "normal" Japanese family that consists of a housewife mom, average salary-man dad, and two teenage siblings. It is just regular everyday life stuff, but it is very hilarious. Plus, in the TVB dubbed version, the mom keeps singing Ron Ng's "Don't Blame Her". The episodes just crack me up!

Dayo Wong to Play 'Evil Kin'

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVB held a costume fitting for the new pre-modern series "Evil Kin", produced by Lam Chi Wah. Dayo Wong will play Evil Kin, while Dominic Lam will play Wong Fei Hung. The other cast members present for the costume fitting included Cecilia Yip, Benz Hui, Vivien Yeo, Kwok Fung, Suet Nei, Al Wai, Eileen Yeow, Byron Pang, Chan Wing Chun, Lau Kwai Fong, Simon Lo, Lee Ka Sing, Lam King Kong, Charmaine Li, Bowie Wu Fung, Jazz Lam Tze Sin, Sin Ho Ying, Lai Suen, Chan Ka Yi, and Leung Bo Ching. The media didn't reveal too much about the characters. The series will be a comedy, and Dayo's 'Evil Kin' will have a lover in the series. Dayo has already came up with one saying for the series: 『損人必利己、打贏靠暗器！』 (suen yan bit lei gei, da ying kaau ngam hei). The saying literally means, "Harming others will definitely benefit oneself. Must use concealed weapon in order to win".

Personal Note: TVB loves re-making Wong Fei Hung series. I believe that this series will do well because it has such a refreshing cast. Plus, Dayo's series always have great ratings. I'm guessing that Benz will play 'Porky Wing', while Al Wai will play 'Leung Foon'. I have no clue who will play 'Ah So'. Probably Lee Ka Sing? Too bad Catherine Tsang couldn't get Dayo to be in Esther's new sitcom...now, that would be the best dream team for comedy. :P

Esther Kwan Returns to TVB

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVB held a costume fitting for its '07 situation comedy (i.e., sitcom) 《嫲辣甜孫》 (literally translated as "Spicy Grandmother, Sweet Grandchild"). The cast members present included Esther Kwan, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Elvina Kong, Angela Tong, and foreign newbie Brian Thomas Burrell (Bo Wai Kit).

Esther has stopped work for two years because of her daughter. Now that her daughter is a year old, she feels that she should get back into working because she does not want to lag behind with society. Esther explains, "When Catherine Tsang first called me, I immediately agreed [to film]. She gave me a good card because I can stay in HK to film. Also, since it is a sitcom, the schedule is stable, and it enables me to spend time with my daughter and work. The timing is perfect; if Catherine had called me earlier, I might have not taken the offer".

Elvina will be playing the boss of an advertisement company and will be required to wear a lot of brand name clothing. She will be bringing her own clothing to filming.

Angela will be playing a police officer, and she will be considering getting her hair cut short for the role. In the series, she will have a foreign husband, Brian Thomas Burrell, who not only speaks fluent Cantonese, but also knows how to read Chinese, and this puts Angela to shame. Despite working in HK for so long, she still cannot read Chinese. She laughs, "It's a good thing my husband knows Chinese. Then I can ask him".

Personal Note: Since filming doesn’t start until the end of the month, I wonder if Bobby is going to guest-star in a couple of episodes.... It would be great to see them on screen together again.

J.S.G. Best 10 Awards Presentation 2006 Results

EEG again buys many of the music awards at "J.S.G. Best 10 Awards Presentation". Joey Yung has now won the 'Most Popular Female Singer' four consecutive times. Kelly wasn't big this year, and Miriam had no music company to back her up. There is no one to give it to, so they gave it to Joey. Joey wasn't even famous this year. Oh, I forgot she filmed the sequel of "The Academy" for TVB this summer. Vincent Wong and Hailie Leung win the silver award for 'Most Popular Duet' for the song "Love and Be Loved". That song was so not famous in HK.

TVB did give an award to their own people, but it wasn't Kevin Cheng because I forgot he is in Japan filming. They gave some newbie award to Bernice Liu and she doesn't even have a record out. There were rumours going on earlier speculating that Go East Music was going to negotiate a top 10 song award for Kelly, but Kelly only won 'Asia's Most Popular Female Singer'. Thus, I've concluded that only EEG buys their awards. I don't know why TVB is so afraid of EEG. Duh! EEG bought a channel from TVB this year called "EEG Channel". TVB can't upset EEG because they are paying TVB. All EEG-ers bought their awards this year, except for Vincy Chan. She deserved 'Most Popular New Singer (Gold)'.

《生日快樂》 "Happy Birthday"

《生日快樂》 is a HK movie, starring Louis Koo and Rene Liu. The storyline is adapted from Rene's novel by Sylvia Chang and directed by Jingle Ma. The film is a real tearjerker. Even Eric Tsang cried 3 times after watching the movie. Eric praises Louis and Rene as 'Movie King' and 'Movie Queen' (best actor and best actress). "In recent years, Louis has very much improved in acting. He has the potential to become a big league actor (heavenly king actor)".

改編自劉若英的短篇小說《Happy Birthday》，張艾嘉編劇，導演馬楚成最新浪漫感人作品。

每年的生日，小米（劉若英飾）都坐立不安的等待著一封風雨不改的電郵，一封從小南（古天樂飾），一個她從來無法忘記的人寄來的生日電郵。這次，滂沱大雨之下，這封電郵遲了42個小時。

小米與小南被大學同學公認為會是最早結婚的一對。小米是個從沒安全感的女孩，因為害怕失去，那夜她竟在小南懷中要求只作比好朋友好的朋友；小南是個受歡迎的男孩，他一心愛著小米，然而他從不能搞懂小米的想法。

他們就像是兩種奇怪的生物，如此的相互需要、相互吸引，卻又是如此的不能共存。小南往外國升學後，二人分手了，卻仍然保持著相互取暖、比好朋友好的朋友關 係。無論小米和小南身邊出現多少情人、無論小米怎麼口口聲聲的說她不會嫁給小南，身旁朋友都深深感到，小米只愛小南，小南也只愛小米，總有一天他們會名正 言順的走在一起。

然而畢竟，他們盼望的都沒有來臨，一天，小南竟說自己將要結婚。小米這才醒覺，這一次，她是真真正正的失去小南。唯有……

A Blast from the Past: "Trio Delights"

This picture was taken on September 26, 2002, on TVB's "Trio Delights". The guests on that episode included Moses Chan, Ada Choi, Steven Ma, Anne Heung, Gordon Liu, and Mimi Chu. In this segment of the show, the females were to make a pose that, if captured by the media, would ruin their reputation. Thus, the females required help from their partners. If Ada was caught in that position with another male, it would so destroy her reputation ("reputation sweeps the floor"). Ha ha. This episode was actually the funniest of the entire season of "Trio".

Here is the news on the recording for "Trio Delights".

[2002-09-26]
向海嵐、馬浚偉、蔡少芬、陳豪、朱咪咪及劉家輝等，前晚參與《吾系獎門人》錄影，Anne一出場，即表演絕技『拗手指』時，在旁的錢嘉樂即說：『這是成家班絕技了！你怎麼知道的？』他見Anne沒有反應，接二連三的問：『成家班盧惠光纔會的！』『成家班，成龍大哥了。』最後Anne禁不住說：『好了吧！還沒講夠！』

馬仔(馬浚偉匿稱)出場時，擺出一個單手按東西的姿勢，志偉見狀即說：『你想抱住郭羡妮呀？』當馬仔在『吾系講笑話』中，表示沒有笑話講時，志偉說：『你做真人表演啦！同郭羡妮直接對話。』林曉峰更上前說：『專講人馬浚偉Take One！』

雖然Anne及馬仔多次被獎門人戲弄，但無損二人的心情，反而玩得更投入，阿Anne為扮大胸，不惜把雙手伸入T恤內『裝假狗』，場面搞笑！而馬仔被罰抱住朱咪咪行『石春路』時，她肉緊地用雙腳『夾』住馬仔下身，做出跑馬的動作，在背上舞動，更不時踢中『小馬仔』。

整晚節目以朱咪咪最搶鏡，她扮姚蘇蓉唱高音時繪影繪聲，全場捧腹大笑；在『吾系落大閘』中，所估的題目是『重振雄風』，拍檔劉家輝說：『我又怎麼啦？』她卻估成『金槍不倒』及『一柱擎天』。事後，Anne表示，不介意被錢嘉樂以緋聞取笑，她說：『事前就知道了，不要緊的！(你玩得好瘋！伸只手到衣服裡？)我穿了兩件T恤打底，不濕身都不會走光。』

"The Brink of Law" will begin airing on Monday, January 8, 2007. I am very excited about this show because I love the male cast in here. You have Steven, Ron, and Kenneth. Too bad Kenneth's character is going to die, since he is only a cameo in the series. This has to be his best looking series so far.
