"L'Escargot" Full MV


"A Tale of a Wounded City" - Linda Chung & Ron Ng

傷城記 《缺宅男女》 主題曲 - 鍾嘉欣/吳卓羲

作曲/監製: 鄧智偉
填詞: 林日曦
編曲: Johnny Yim

牆上合照跌在松木凳 平靜地看窗邊的暗燈
鄰戶或有百萬人像我 懷念某一個某一吻

有霉黃牆身做陪襯 有殘餘蠟燭可交出氣氛
有床頭時鐘在提我 時日飛過 再別上心

從前是巨大夢想 顯得我太渺小
落力幻想 想得我更困擾
那日誰因誰失神心跳 還保留多少

浪漫夜景找不到已破曉 夢寐大海觸不到已報銷
那日誰跟誰底廉的愛 在高樓之間消耗掉

消耗了

"Wish and Switch" AOD Opening Theme Video


"Exchange Happiness" - Myolie Wu & Johnson Lee

交換快樂 《換樂無窮》 主題曲 - 胡杏兒/李思捷

作曲/編曲/監製: 葉肇中
填詞: 林日曦

難題填滿你的大腦吧 為著事業去奔馳疲勞嘛
為你分擔樂與憂 說個簡單笑話

無形煩惱纏繫著你吧 為著這家撐得辛苦嘛
來為你將新生活簡化 攜著你散步回家

交給你溫馨感覺 交給你快樂弦樂
一心貢獻做對方主角
誰哭了有誰安慰 相擁中感受脈搏
一呼一吸一些吻 有愛便盡情揮霍

交給你一雙肩膊 交給你樸實承諾
統稱叫作被愛的感覺
難關你我誰都有 有緣同行被付託
共安身的被窩 叫快樂國

Personal Note: Don't like how Myolie sang this song...sounds like a baby voice version of Fat Tin.... o_O Not used to Johnson singing in his own voice.... :P

Personal Note: Like that the 'magic' segments were separated this time! :D

During the singing imitations, Louis, Johnson, and Cho Lam imitated Cammi Tse, Ken Choi, and Tony Leung respectively. Johnson sounded more like Andy Lau.... :P Saw Cho Lam's Weibo post earlier, and thought that he did resemble Tony; however, his Mandarin is better than Tony's.... :P

During the acting imitations, "Beyond the Realm of Conscience", "When Heaven Burns", and "Curse of the Royal Harem" were parodied. Funny how Cho Lam exaggerated Myolie's hyperactive lips! :P Also like the reference to the 'bottle' bug! Ha ha.... ;)

Love "The Green Room" segment, especially Johnson's Leon Lai impersonation! Also funny how Louis imitated Hanjin's facial expressions! :D

Wayne Lai's nose was featured on this episode of "Nose Live".

This episode of "Toi Story" was funnier than the previous one, especially when Hungry was taking Handelababy through the birthing process. Found it quite hilarious that Johnson was unable to hold his laughter, and that he was laughing so hard that he was crying! :D "Attention, please! Please stand behind my yellow line. Thank you for your cooperation. Good night!" Ha ha.... Derek Kwok also made a special guest appearance during this segment.

Ha ha.... Now Johnson is singing children's songs in Dave Wang's crying voice.... :P

Michelle Yim Replaces Maggie Cheung as Cixi

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

michelle

Filming for "The Great Eunuch", TVB's grand production in the coming year, began yesterday. Wayne Lai, Raymond Wong, and Raymond Cho, who play eunuchs, have already shaved their heads in preparation for over four months of filming. However, it is said that, some days ago, there was a sudden cast change; the role of Cixi was supposed to be played by Maggie Cheung, but it has been changed to Michelle Yim, who initially filmed the Sales Presentation for this series!

Reporters called producer Marco Law for an inquiry; he said, "Have already officially began filming. Michelle [Yim] is also a good choice, but [she] is currently in Mainland...will join the team to film later. Maggie didn't agree to film because of scheduling problems; this series will film until April of next year, which conflicts with her schedule. However, filming just began yesterday; the impact is not great". Michelle, who is in Wuxi, is not worried about having to film in Hengdian afterward, since she has been filming series in Mainland for the past year...already accustomed to it early on, and already played Cixi before, so not worried.

Related post: New Series 《大太監》 "The Great Eunuch" Info

Personal Note: Following Ruco's withdrawal from the series, Maggie will also no longer be taking part. Perhaps it is because it would be quite taxing for Maggie to film two series consecutively, and even more so with "Eunuch" being an ancient grand production.

Definitely a plus to have Michelle in this series, but still have reservations toward Marco Law taking on the Qing Dynasty for the first time....

死去活來 - 張智霖

作曲/編曲: 龍世樑
填詞: 火火
監製: 舒文

糾纏的紅筋 眼淚在疑問
紅腫難分 哭得太狠
虛脫如懲罰 分手總要 發洩全部怨恨

將 床單毛衣掉出去
如合照使我難面對 焚燒都不心虛

恨你夠嗎 害你對嗎
自信心 一天天被焚化
我未放下 還在咒罵你竟偷偷戀上他
是我未夠班 才被摧殘
傷口再花 不等結疤 來灑鹽嗎

鮮紅的顏色 血液為誰滴
如果痕跡 不可退色
怎會留餘地 寫一封信 要你全部確認

當 如此殘忍若不對
遺下我一個捱下去 能否撐起身軀

恨你夠嗎 害你對嗎
自信心 一天天被焚化
我未放下 還在咒罵你竟偷偷戀上他
是我未夠班 才被摧殘
傷口再花 不可結疤 放下好嗎

承認我沒法招架 即管繼續失眠
當死去活來一千遍 誰會記得 續漸過時

害怕上班 害怕回家
害怕她 今天擁著誰嗎
髮亦變白 還任性地壓抑繼續想自殘
自怨沒有她 存活多難
一首怨曲 一生葬花 結局了吧
這種怪胎 不懂節哀 死去活來

Personal Note: Chi Lam is super handsome!

朝花夕拾 《我的如意狼君》 主題曲 - 張德蘭

作曲: 鄧智偉
填詞: 鄭櫻綸

傷透的芯花睜不開 灰的天等你回來
一天一天應不應該 思憶中聽你示愛

彷似朝花一息間開 凋萎一刻照夕來
漆黑的天一絲星光 悲傷中感到被愛

回頭期望見你在步近 如途人
我數百次轉身站在問
為何還望再見 為何還要等

回頭能望見你在步近 如行人
你我隔世可相聚沒恨
離離合合錯過 仍還要等

其後若相見 可認出聲線
情若是不變 愛沒完沒了

Personal Note: Indeed a good song and a really nice voice! The more I listen to it, the more I like it! :)

Personal Note: Glad to see FLS back!

The 'magic' segment was hilarious because it was so stupid! Ha ha.... :D

Johnson's imitation of William So's "That Somebody" was quite good in the beginning, but he didn't really sound like him near the end.

Instead of airing live broadcasts of camera streams from places all around the world (i.e., "Earth Live"), "Nose Live" focuses on artistes' noses; this episode featured Ma Ming's nose. He he.... :P I can also see Michael Tse's nose when all of the noses were scanned. ;)

Louis as Deanie Ip and Johnson as Andy Lau in the trailer of "A Simple Life" was quite funny! Can't wait to watch the movie!


Cho Lam didn't sound like Chan Wing Yip during "The Green Room" segment; however, his gestures and facial expressions were quite spot-on. :D

Already saw a preview of Cho Lam singing "Super Stupid" like Liza Wang on "What the Face"....

"Sat in the City" has become "Toi Story"...hilarious as usual! :D Particularly liked the "Ah Man" reference.... :D

Louis didn't sound like Crowd Lu when he sang "I Love You", but thought that his singing was quite good there...probably his best performance yet! :D

Funny how Johnson sang happy Christmas songs in Dave Wang's crying voice! :D

Actually thought that Oscar Leung's team performed better....

J2 Clip

Damian Lau Mocks Ron Ng for Getting a Relative to Help Promote

Ron Ng suddenly became a news figure because of rumoured girlfriend Viann Zhang 'mistakenly uploading' a bed picture on his Weibo. Due to not feeling well, Ron was absent at a promotion for his new series yesterday. Tavia Yeung, Kenneth Ma, and Damian Lau, who are in the same series, all responded to the matter.

Tavia, who portrays a concubine in the series, did not comment on Ron and Viann's intimate relationship, only saying that she never saw her in person; however, she believes that Ron is not a person who evades things. She said, "He is always mildly sick...should not be faking illness. I think that he really is not feeling well that he is absent". Tavia said that, if Viann did upload a picture on Ron's Weibo on her own, everyone has to be careful of his or her own account, and to not put too many pictures in one's phone. Being rumoured with Him Law, would Tavia worry about him doing this? Tavia said, "Firstly, friends would not borrow my phone overnight. Because of this, there would be no chance of putting pictures on my phone".

Kenneth just attended a wedding banquet with Ron the night before, but he does not know if he went along to continue drinking afterward; however, he will urge Ron to come out to explain the matter, and also needs an urgent response.

Damian said that Ron may have uploaded the picture on Weibo himself: "Perhaps he wanted to help promote the series. Even his relative (referring to Viann) has to help".

Personal Note: Had a feeling that Ron would not show up at the dance rehearsal.... :P

Ha ha.... Elena misheard Ma Ming, as he said that Sharon has been "nominated" numerous times, but she thought that he said that she's "hardworking". ;)

Wong Wai will be missed!

TVB received ten complaints. One was unsatisfied with host Vincent Wong's performance, saying that he was not eloquent and fluent in speaking. The other nine were aimed at the results not meeting what the audience had hoped for, such that 'TV King' should have gone to Michael Tse, and that Myolie Wu should not have received 'My Favourite TV Female Character'. The Hong Kong Broadcasting Authority also received five complaints, as audiences thought that the outcome was unfair.

This year's awards presentation averaged 38 points, and peaked at 41 points (when Natalis Chan was presenting the award for 'Best Host').

Personal Note: Don't like the scenes that were selected for this Sales clip because it does not seem to be an accurate representation of what the series is actually about (i.e., the interns). The clip should have been more focused on the profession itself.

Personal Note: I've mentioned this in my Weibo post, but I must say it again! The dialogue is quite powerful in here! Love the dialogue between Damian and Ma Ming (i.e., "If you were not my son, you are nothing"; "If I were not your son, I can be anything"), as well as Tavia's line (i.e., "If you marry another [woman], I will squander away all your wealth").

The wedding scene is quite similar to the one in "The Bund"....

"The Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang" @ TVB Sales Presentation 2012



Personal Note: The special effects weren't done that badly in this clip, but can't stand Aimee's pronunciation, especially at the beginning of the clip! o_O

"Triumph in the Skies II" @ TVB Sales Presentation 2012



Personal Note: Of the clips that I had watched a couple weeks ago, this one was the most disappointing. Still think that this clip definitely could have been done with much more sincerity...so choppy and incoherent! 囧!

The dialogue was so cheesy.... Ron and Rebecca's dialogue was basically an airplane version of Kingley and Sai Lei Mui's equation metaphor.... 囧!

Still do not want this to get filmed....
