"Hug Love" - Joyce Cheng

擁抱愛 《愛.回家》 主題曲 - 鄭欣宜

作曲: 鄭欣宜
填詞: 張美賢
編曲: Johnny Yim
監製: 鄧智偉

在世間遮風擋雨有一種愛
從六歲到八十也不更改
任我飛天空海闊前望將來
寒或暖 有笑容可一可再

遙遠 隻身參與漫長競賽
回家這路線 快樂佈景四邊覆蓋
越行越遠 困倦了總有家中這道門 為我開

在世間不聲不語有一種愛
柔靭到叫鐵石種出花開
任我飛不經不覺背包超載
晴或雨 要記住相親相愛

無限暖 最美是這一種愛

我心靈上的枷鎖已經解脫,天神,你就為我吹一口和風,讓我們的船可以鼓滿帆蓬,慈悲的神明,早已經赦免可憐萬民的過失,你們的罪過,無人追究,你們的寬大,也給我自由。

The shackles in my mind have already been extricated. Heavens, blow a gentle breeze for me to let our ship sail. The merciful spirits have already pardoned the pitiful common people's faults. Your crimes...no one is following up. Your indulgence has also given me freedom.

FYI: This monologue is actually an excerpt from The Tempest by William Shakespeare.

如果清醒只會令人痛苦,那為什麼不讓人家只是留在夢中?如果生存的目標已經失去,為什麼不可以在夢中找回?如果夢裡面是一個充滿希望的世界,為什麼我還要醒過來?

If waking up would only make one miserable, then why not let him only stay in the dream? If the goal to survive has already been lost, why can you not retrieve it in a dream? If the dream is filled with a hopeful world, why would I still have to wake up?

Benjamin Yuen & William Chak on "The Green Room"


Personal Note: Nice to hear Benjamin and William talk about the filming process of "Tiger Cubs". Since each bullet is calculated into the budget, each SDU member was only given two shots to film the target practice scenes; however, on the last day, there was a bag full of bullets left, so they were allowed to fire them all.

Personal Note: Liked how Christopher Scott incorporated stepping, martial arts, and animation into this routine...very entertaining to watch! :)

Kenneth Ma's Three Fit Meals to Maintain Youth

Kenneth Ma plays soccer for long periods of time to maintain the fittest figure.

Thirty-eight-year-old Kenneth Ma has always maintained a youthful state of mind and health...actually has a set of secrets. "Do not smoke or drink. Only eat chicken, fish, white meat, vegetables, and fruits. I haven't eaten beef for over ten years, and never eat midnight snacks. A Chinese doctor said that I have a 'super hot nature'...sweat easily and break out. Mother often boils green bean soup, American ginseng soup, and heat-clearing, moistening soups to help me lower the temperature. I would also eat watermelon, Long Ling Gao, and heat-clearing food. Kenneth always has a friendly smile on his face. He said, "I have inherited Mother's cheerful personality, but will cry once in a while to vent negative emotions. On days when [I] don't have to work, I would sleep before 12".

Personal Note: Ma Ming previously said that he is not an emotional person, so was surprised to read that he would cry once in a while.

我曾經以為,我會為我做過的錯事內疚一生一世,但是我錯了,我忘了人是會累的,內疚本來就是最令人疲累的事,我想已經夠了。

I once thought that I would feel guilty my entire life for the wrong things that I had done; however, I was wrong. I forgot that people would get tired. Guilt is originally the thing that makes people the most exhausted. I think that it is already enough.

"Tiger Cubs" Celebrates Victory, Joe Ma Feels Proud and Elated

J2 Clip


01020304050607

TVB's new series "Tiger Cubs" premiered on Sunday, peaking at 30 points and averaging 29 points, becoming the entire week's highest-rated series. Yesterday, the cast held a celebration event and also celebrated Joe's 44th birthday in advance. Mandy Wong, JJ Jia, and Kayi Cheung pretended to give a kiss. Afterward, Joe excitedly hugged Kenneth Ma, while Him Law was told by the producer to hug Vincent Wong...a funny scene.

Joe is very satisfied with these results. When asked whether [he] felt happy and elated, he laughingly said, "Yes. Yes". He thinks that the arrangement of the release of the series at a new time slot needs some figuring out. Initially guessed the ratings to be 23 to 25 points. Now that there are good results, the series crew is also very excited...also hope that the ratings go even higher. As for viewers complaining about violent scenes, Joe explained, "Usually, major cases would call for the Special Duties Unit. Later, it will continue to have bloody and violent scenes, thereby placing it at a rather late time slot to air". As for accusations of plagiarizing the film "Breaking News", he said, "Cop shows cannot escape robbery. Most importantly, the performances from different actors have different refreshing feelings. Everyone also enjoys watching it". Joe revealed that [he] will be inviting the actors to a celebration...also bringing his wife and son along".

Kenneth Ma Laughs That JJ Jia Loves Kissing Oscar Leung

Kenneth was revealed by the producer to have frequently NG-ed when filming kiss scenes with JJ. After hearing this, Kenneth laughingly said, "Much thanks to the help of the behind-the-scenes [crew]...if it was not the sound, it was the lighting that had problems. However, the other day, after JJ and Oscar Leung filmed a kiss scene, didn't want to kiss another person anymore...thinks that the other party is the most kissable". JJ promptly denied, saying that Oscar was talking nonsense.

ckwok: "Thief husband and thief wife in 'Tiger Cubs'...Mr. and Mrs. To Tin Yue! Although To Tin Yue has already been captured in the first episode, Kenneth Ma said at today's celebration event, 'We will be back!' [freak out][freak out] I absolutely anticipate this thief husband to quickly come back! [freak out] @fatumaijj"

Someone on Weibo said, "Ma Ming is so handsome...unexpectedly over in one episode [angry][angry][angry]". Then Jessica Hsuan replied, "Would we waste Ma Ming's acting ability like this? [wink]"

Personal Note: A good start to the series! :)

What's with TVB filming kiss scenes on the initial days of filming? o_O

Ha ha.... In the Wenweipo article, JJ said that she was upset that her other kiss scene with Ma Ming was edited out, so she can only get the clip back and re-watch it at home as a commemoration. :P

When Ma Ming and JJ said that their appearance in the series was too short, it must have been the producer who said, "Let's film a spin-off, okay?" Would definitely want to see the background to their story! ;)

Michael Tao on "aTV 100 Celebrities"


Personal Note: Didn't know that Michael gave himself the English name 'Michael' after he graduated from TVB's Acting Class.

When Kam Kwok Leung asked Michael to thank three people, he listed Poon Ka Tak, Gary Tang, and former company TVB.

Always nice to hear Michael's chuckle! ;)

謊言和喝酒一樣,當你習慣了喝醉後的飄然,你會願意醉下去,當你相信謊話的甜蜜之後,你就不再願意去了解事情的真相,情願被它騙下去。

Lies and drinking are the same. When you get used to floating in the air from getting drunk, you would be willing to continue being drunk. After believing the sweetness of lies, you would no longer be willing to understand the truth of the matter...would rather continue being deceived by it.

人心天生就是偏向一邊,因為這個緣故,我們對事、對人的判斷,從來就不可能做到公正、公平,善惡正邪、黑白是非,誰能準確判斷?

The human heart is naturally on one side. Because of this, our judgment toward matters and people can never be just and fair. Good or evil, black or white, true or false....who can correctly judge?

"Surrounding Basis" - Joe Ma

身邊的依據 《飛虎》 主題曲 - 馬德鐘

作曲: Tige Hui
填詞: 宋沛言
編曲: 葉肇中
監製: 鄧智偉

憑我熱血 昂然裡衝出去
槍雨下涉入廢墟 狙擊過焦距 極地再追
眼眸裡 微看四周隱伏著是誰
誰又引導過誰 步向相對

肝膽背後 昂然問句
風中再追 勇敢的依據
槍聲乾脆 完成大意義 男兒未怕那艱巨

於一線命 仍能面對
得失再追 犯險槍火裡
一生乾脆 從無後退 交織我壯舉

不惜去追 即使告吹
決意面對 找那壯舉

生死與共 豪情面對
得失再追 犯險槍火裡
一生乾脆 從無後退 身邊會是誰

Personal Note: The chorus reminds me of cop series' themes from the '90s. Not Joe's best song or singing performance, but quite like the song. :)

Seventy minutes is rather long to watch in one sitting, but enjoyed the training and operation scenes!

Seriously no one more suitable to play the SDU leader than Joe! :)

Another hotheaded character for Him....

Surprised that the cops did not mention Ma Ming and JJ's distinctive tattoos as an identifying characteristic.... :P

Liked the chemistry between Ma Ming and JJ...they make convincing villains! :) Also, quite like JJ's performance in here, especially the interrogation room scene with Jessica. Can't wait to see Ma Ming and JJ again in the final episode! :)

Oriental Daily Interview with Michael Tao, Bobby Au Yeung & Felix Lok

Bobby爆大宇用褲菲女嘲small




01
駱應鈞(左起)、陶大宇與歐陽震華相交廿多年,笑料一籮籮。

02
Bobby將絲巾縛在頭上,認真鬼馬。

03
大宇拍咀戲,經驗豐富。

04
阿公家有私人健身室,保持fit爆身形。

05
大宇和Bobby鬥爆瘀事,嗒落有味。

過百集的經典劇《壹號皇庭》,造就了陶大宇、歐陽震華(Bobby)和駱應鈞(阿公)成為老友,三人重聚暢談當年軼事,笑料百出。堪稱「笑料貨櫃」的Bobby大爆大宇當街甩褲,更被菲傭取笑「small」!大宇卻反嘲對方當街PK,二人加埋近百歲還樂此不疲,最老正的阿公坦言三人聚首是何等難得和極具紀念性。

陶:我幫你哋諗好形象,三人行埋都有不一樣嘅感覺……

Bobby:你就話打Bow連戲,但我就再搵唔到從前嘅髮型!我個頭仲年復年變圓,遲啲要倒吊瞓,等面皮唔好鬆……哈哈!

阿公:《皇庭》至今已經廿年,我哋再一齊坐埋,認真難得,好值得紀念!以前拍劇就專飛紙仔,不過我依家就轉咗新公司(CTI),公司規定唔可以飛紙仔!

咀陳慧珊唔停口

Bobby:其實觀眾鍾意睇我哋幾兄弟嘅屋企戲,但我就鍾意睇大宇嘅kiss戲!佢同陳慧珊、宣萱拍咀戲,嘩……拍到「施施SirSir」,放消夜、收機仲喺度緊!

陶:又唔係我要求,不過通常對手都對我好好,陳慧珊嗰次仲係「螢幕初吻」!

阿公:佢哋個個鬼妹仔性格都好主動,你同陳慧珊嗰場,真係好正!

陶:你又知正?係正都只有我知……哈哈!

Bobby:講到拍咀戲,我遇上關詠荷,嗰次咀戲我真係學到嘢!自己拍咀戲怕醜又「蛇Ger」,點知當日我同佢拍咀戲時,佢竟然拍攝中途講嘢……叫我面口唔好疊住佢,鏡頭後我仲怪佢唔投入,後來佢話邊講邊咀會好逼真,果然拍出嚟又真係好有效果!唔信嘅話,大宇你試吓!

陶:唔會啦……到咗呢個階段,我已經唔敢喺鏡頭前錫女仔,早晨一個輕吻還可以,要談戀愛式激吻,嘩……好核突!

Bobby:我試過同蔡少芬有一場激吻戲,好驚……你話好似大宇有輪廓下巴兜兜拍咀戲就話好睇,我呢啲扁口扁面,一撞埋乜嘢眼、耳、口、鼻都唔見晒啦,所以我想到一個辦法同少芬講:「到時我錫吓你塊面,再唔係錫埋你額頭就夠!」佢竟然答我:「唉喲……我都係咁諗!」頂……

阿公fit過羅仲謙

陶:阿公拍差人戲都好辛苦,拍查案走勻全港,不過阿公生活好有規律,當年我去佢屋企,已經見佢有私人健身室,依家身形仲係Keep得咁fit,比羅仲謙更好!

阿公:當年拍一場查案戲可以拍十一、二日,當年後生,不過依家我都有保持運動量,幕前都要見得人o架!

陶:其實我哋個個都貪靚,拍《皇庭》時我要求場場換衫,要唔同顏色,所有Bow都係私伙!

Bobby:你(指大宇)連睡衣都要全白絲綢,着到好似「白龍王」咁!有一次外景喺街邊換衫大出洋相……當日係星期日,喺皇后像廣場取景,我同你攞住戲服,本來想行過去酒店換,但又想快,索性喺外景車旁換,點知你解開褲頭,竟忘記個銀包袋咗喺後袋,結果墜甩咗條褲,成條褲跌到落腳眼呀,現場大群菲傭見到呢個露底場面不禁大叫:「oh!Michael…… small!」我睇到反白眼!我只好話:「下次勤啲換底褲啦!褲頭橡筋都變成波浪紋啦!」哈哈哈哈……

陶:你夠因為戴黑超,喺商場睇唔到路,行扶手電梯踩錯腳PK啦!哈哈!

Bobby:你仲好意思講,嗰次唔係你笑聲震天,都唔會全個商場啲人都知道啦!個個望過嚟,我不知幾尷尬!

兄弟同心良性競爭

當年三個後生仔,不為上位明爭暗鬥、互篤背脊,反而兄弟同心,衝勁十足,連收工都約埋歎咖啡度戲。

Bobby:我哋兄弟雖然貪玩,不過工作就很團結,每拍完都會去附近茶餐廳傾吓戲,每個人心態都好好、好Fit!我都有問監製(鄧特希)點解搵我哋這班二線演員演出,佢話搵一線演員可能戲份會集中一個人身上,但係全班都係二線,就可造出良性競爭!

阿公:我都發現一個現象,我哋兄弟不止有監製計算嘅效果,就連互相交惡、爭戲情況都冇,感情之好,仲可以合作五輯都冇變,實在好難得。要是其他劇,大家演員長時間對住,好多都會有爭拗!

Bobby:所以我好期待《皇庭》長拍長有,仲要搞多啲聚會……

陶:我哋呢班爛玩兄弟已踏入人生另一階段,時至今日要再走埋一齊,相信監製都要諗一啲「新口味」配合至得!

Personal Note: Love "The File of Justice"! :D Didn't know that all of Michael's bow ties in the series were his own! :P

Ha ha.... Bobby and Felix loved watching Michael and Flora's kiss scene...the scene that they were referring to should be the famous 'squeezing orange juice' metaphor! :P

Ha ha.... Bobby mentioned Esther's talking-while-kissing scenario again! :P

Too bad these interviews don't have video clips...would definitely be funnier watching them interact! :D
