"Let It Be Love" TVBI Trailer

"Let It Be Love" Opening Theme Video


"4 in Love" - Moses Chan

4 in Love 《4 in Love》 主題曲 - 陳豪

作曲: DJ Galaxy
填詞: 黄厚霖

四個變八個 愛過卻愛錯
欠你欠我 個個欠了個個
愛錯了這個轉角 再試過
這個那個缺貨最尾也有一個

心情失驚無神失調
為乜攪到自己絕路一條
問心 到底今晚有乜需要
跟你食麵包 定係一個亂咁跳
追不到愛情 轉彎轉彎的過程
找到真愛情 理得邊個扮有型
為左愛扮認真扮大方 定係
做自己 用內心做悶棍
遇一個 呢個又話肯定
下一個 呢個又話應承
又一個 呢個係我宿命
其實邊有咁好彩 要認命
Ah... Ah... 你又愛
Ah... Ah... 佢又話愛
Ah... Ah... 邊個都話愛
愛究竟係愛 定係當佢食菜

Come on fall in love... (4 in love)
Fall in love love love
Fall in love... (4 in love)
Fall in love love love
Fall in love... (4 in love)
Fall in love love love
Fall in love love love love love

Louis Koo Changes into 'Pirated Raymond Lam', Playing with Old News

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

louis

Caption 1: In "All's Well End's Well 2012", Louis has a crush on photographer Kelly Chen.

Caption 2: In the movie, Louis lands on the cover of a magazine with the headline reading 'Pirated Raymond Lam', playing with his old news with Raymond Lam.

In the CNY movie "All's Well End's Well 2012", Louis Koo plays a construction worker who is spotted by Kelly Chen, who plays a photographer, to be a nude model. Before filming, Louis intensely pumped his muscles, and he also took pictures revealing his upper body. In the movie, landing on the cover of a magazine, the headline reads 'Pirated Raymond Lam'. This scene can be said to be sneering at the old news between Louis and Raymond because, when Louis switched to the big screen, Raymond, who resembled Louis, was being promoted by TVB, and he was packaged to be Louis' successor. Now, Raymond is already TVB's Dong Ka Siu Sang. Never thought that Louis would actually have a humourous response to such an old incident in "All's".

In the movie, Louis has a crush on Kelly. Apart from using his bad English to its fullest, [he] also used his electrifying eyes, causing the cold Kelly to also be touchy-feely.

Personal Note: Can't wait to watch this movie! :D

TVB's "Special Duties Unit" Taking on Saturday Prime Time Slot to Go Against i-CABLE Olympics

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

"Psychological Warfare" is said to broadcast in the second season.

2012 is the war of the Hong Kong television industry. i-CABLE also has the sole broadcasting rights for the 2012 London Olympics, so TVB has arranged for the grand production "Special Duties Unit" to first air on Sundays in June, and then air on Saturdays and Sundays in July. TVB's Vice Director of Programmes Ho Koon Chung said, "This [series] is 13 episodes. Each episode is 90 minutes long. It is Hong Kong's first television series about the SDU. The production cost of each episode is approximately $1,000,000, which is much more than other series".

Apart from "SDU", "War and Beauty II" and "Triumph in the Skies II" are also TVB's key series in 2012; however, they may not make it in time to broadcast this year. TVB will be releasing series to complement each season. The first season is 'Season of Love', which includes the series "Let It Be Love". The second season will have "The Boxing King" and "The Dazzling Dance of Chang'an". The third season (summer holidays) will be "Back to the Three Kingdoms". The forth season (the highly regarded anniversary series in recent years) already has a temporary arrangement; however, it cannot be revealed yet.

Personal Note: Funny how TVB comes up with a seasonal series schedule after airing "L'Escargot" during the festive period! 囧!

TVB already filmed a series about the SDU in 1989 called "Flying Squads", which starred Donnie Yen, and it only consisted of 15 episodes....

Personal Note: At the fitting, this series was only referred to as "Amy Wong's New Series"; thus, the title most likely has not been finalized. Don't like the misuse of 'chok', so hope that it will not be in the official title.

From the premise of the series, guessing that it will take the route of "Ups and Downs".... :D

Nice to see former ATV-ers leading! :)

Didn't expect Louis and Leanne to be a pair in here! :P

Personal Note: Refreshing to see Elaine back in TVB, but have never liked her acting....

Finally, Kate is not playing a cop! :P

This is the second time in which Raymond will be playing a member of the Disciplined Services (he was an ICAC in 2000), but he still does not give off a 'cop' feeling....

Another complicated romantic storyline where A likes B, B likes C, C likes D....

Hope that Ella and Kate keep the bangs look in the actual series! :)

TVB Onscreen Couples @ 《TVB Weekly》 Issue 760

To welcome 2012's 'Season of Love', TVB is specially holding a 'TVB Top Ten Onscreen Couples Voting' so that viewers can vote for their most classic top ten onscreen couples through TVB Weekly, tvb.com, and TVB fun. The pair with the most votes will become 'My Favourite Supreme Onscreen Couple'. The results will be revealed on February 19th.

760_01760_02760_03760_04760_05760_06760_07760_08760_09760_10760_11760_12760_13760_14


Personal Note: Because only one couple was chosen to represent each year, many classic pairings were left out (while some pairings wouldn't even be considered to be 'classic'). Especially surprised that the successful pairing of Michael Tao/Kenix Kwok in the "Detective Investigation Files" franchise was excluded (from the title of this poll, I automatically thought of them; they are also my favourite pairing of all time); don't know why the pairing of Gallen Lo/Kathy Chow in "Plain Love" was selected instead.

Also surprised about the exclusions of Damian Lau/Liza Wang, Felix Wong/Barbara Yung, Gallen Lo/Maggie Cheung, Bowie Lam/Flora Chan, Louis Koo/Jessica Hsuan (their pairing in "Detective", in particular, was definitely more well-liked than Tim and Helen in "A Threshold of an Era"), and Julian Cheung/Charmaine Sheh.

Although "Square Pegs" was aired on December 30th, 2002, the majority of the series was aired in 2003, so it would make more sense for Ah Wong and Choi Fung to represent 2003. When "Triumph in the Skies" aired, the Sam-Belle and Vincent-Belle pairings were definitely more well-received than Sam-Zoe....

Many of my favourite (and definitely deemed to be classic) couples are already out of the running, but I guess I can still vote for Bobby Au Yeung/Esther Kwan and Lawrence Ng/Ada Choi. ;)
