點解/Why...TVB??? (II)

TVB黐線㗎! 點解永遠開續集一定要CUT某一個重要演員因為他忙緊拍另一部劇﹖

點解所為去年嘅“視帝視后”唔可以獨撐一部劇﹐但要黐住BOBBY呢﹖

呢d答案好簡單﹐同上次嘅一樣﹐因為TVB IS STUPID!

Stupid TVB always does this! Whenever there is a sequel and if one of the important characters in the prequel is busy filming another series, they will most definitely kill that role off and add new cast members to the show. Just like Ada Choi in "Healing Hands II" and Fiona Sit in the sequel of "The Academy". I don't know why TVB would do this because Leung Siu Yau (Yoyo's character name) was famous in FH. You know TVB just wants to kill Siu Yau Madam because they want to make Charmaine Sheh the female lead. Also, why would last year's so-called "Best Actor and Actress" not have their own series but rather "leech" off Bobby? This is an easy one because you know Kevin Cheng cannot handle the title of "Best Actor" because he is emotionless and cannot act.

Bobby Nominated for 'Best Actor' at 「International Emmy Awards」


Bobby Au Yeung and Charmaine Sheh are both nominated at the 「International Emmy Awards」 for 'Best Actor' and 'Best Actress'. The 「International Emmy Awards」 is television's highest honour. The participants come from areas beyond the US, including places such as Asia and Africa, Latin America, Europe, etc.

Bobby knew a couple months beforehand that TVB would submit his role in "A Dicey Business" for 'Best Actor'. He was informed yesterday that he made it in as a nominee. Bobby says that he is very happy to know that he is nominated since it is an international grand occasion. He also says that he is satisfied with his performance in "A Dicey Business" because, not only is the character funny, but he also has a lot of sentimental scenes. When the series aired, many of his friends praised him for his acting, especially his crying scenes, as it is a different aspect from his comedy skills.

The 「International Emmy Awards」 will be held on November 19th, 2007 (American Time); therefore, Bobby is in a dilemma because it also falls on the day of TVB's anniversary. He wants to go to the award ceremony no matter win or lose, but does not want to be absent for TVB's anniversary. At this point, he can only inform TVB and wait for their notice.

Bobby盼省靚無線招牌
爭「國際艾美獎」最佳男主角

歐陽震華(Bobby)憑《賭場風雲》入圍角逐「第35屆國際艾美獎」的最佳男主角獎項,而佘詩曼則以《火舞黃沙》競逐最佳女主角獎項;是次無線首次派代 表參與競逐「國際艾美獎」,演員方面只提名了Bobby與阿佘,他們亦不負眾望爭得入圍的機會。Bobby於2000年憑《洗冤錄》獲無線的視帝榮譽,今 次他衝出香港進軍國際,有六分之一機會成為「國際艾美獎」的最佳男主角。

「國際艾美獎」(International Emmy Award)是國際電視界的最高榮譽,由美國國際電視學會主辦,參賽者來自美國以外的地區,包括亞非、拉丁美洲、歐洲等地。於05年舉行的第33屆國際艾 美獎由中國女演員何琳憑《為奴隸的母親》獲最佳女主角獎。

撞正台慶 左右為難

Bobby早幾個月前獲知無線以他主演的《賭場風雲》報名角逐「國際艾美獎」的最佳男主角,日前才獲通知他已入圍,至於另外5名對手是誰他也不清楚,故談 不上信心。 他說其實有份入圍已很開心,這是國際盛事。他稱《賭場風雲》是他滿意的演出,因為此劇的角色不單是搞笑,還有很多感情戲。播映時朋友對他的演出也讚好,特 別是他拍的哭戲,是搞笑以外的另一面,為他省靚招牌,要是今次能獲獎項更為無線省招牌。

「國際艾美獎」於美國時間11月19日舉行,Bobby因此感左右為難,因這也是無線台慶的日子。他稱無論是否獲獎,他也想參與頒獎禮,但公司台慶亦不想缺席;現在他只能等通知公司如何安排。

《請你幫忙撒個謊》入圍爭獎

除了Bobby與佘詩曼入圍男女主角獎項,無線新聞部節目《星期日檔案——請你幫忙撒個謊》亦入圍競逐「國際艾美獎」的新聞及公共事務獎項,對手包括英 國、巴西與俄羅斯的節目。《請你幫忙撒個謊》是有關一個長春小女孩欣月患腦腫瘤導至失明,她心願到天安門廣場,但健康問題不能遠行,熱心的人給她安排了翻 版「天安門廣場」的升旗禮幫助圓夢。無線外事部助理總監曾醒明稱無線首次參與「國際艾美獎」並有作品入圍,證明無線的製作有國際水準。


Personal Note: Congratulations to Bobby and Charmaine for making it into the nominations for IEA! Bobby won TVB's 'Favourite Actor' in the year 2000 for "Witness to a Prosecution". Now, it is time to break out into international waters and win IEA's 'Best Actor'!!! That's a way better title than TVB's award. I'm rooting for Bobby! Bobby win! Go, Bobby!

Bobby = "Three King"

The first week of "Fathers and Sons" averaged 31 points and reached a high of 38 points...looks as though Bobby Au Yeung is indeed the "Lucky General" for ratings.

Not only is Bobby the "Lucky General", he is also the "Three King". First, there is the "King of Comedy": his comedy is well-liked by the audience, and he does not exaggerate. Second of all, he is the "King of Ratings": a 'Bobby' series will always receive high rating points and positive feedback. Thirdly, Bobby is the "King of Sequels".

Bobby will be battling Dicky Cheung's 《盜海奇兵》 (Project A), which will be airing tonight on ATV. Bobby is used to fight battles because "A Pillow Case of Mystery" was aired to save poor ratings, "Forensic Heroes" to fight the World Cup, and "A Dicey Business" to battle ATV's "No Turning Back". There is nothing Bobby cannot do. Bobby is the best "Siu Sang"!

TVBuddy is TVB's -D cartoon character which came from the year 2107; its purpose is to help promote TVB. TVBuddy made its first appearance in CNY's promotional clip; however, it was not released until March 9, 2007. TVBuddy is designed very simply; its head is TVB's logo with two antennas coming out from the top. The designer explained that it only took fifteen minutes to come up with TVBuddy. Since TVB is a well-known and familiar brand in HK, the designer wanted to bring a kind feeling to the audience and used TVB's logo as a big factor.

TVBuddy's Design: The white body equals easily approachable. The chubbiness of the character gives a cute and adorable feeling. TVBuddy's changeable personality equals always changing.

TVBuddy's Mission: To bring happiness to everybody, help TVB introduce new shows and new series, explain HD television's developing process, and will hold an important role in promoting Beijing's 2008 Olympics.

TVBuddy's Personality: Just like TVB, always moving forward. Very impulsive, has rich creativity, and is extremely optimistic.
