Wong Cho Lam and Jade Kwan both received this year's 'Outstanding Young Persons'. He received the award in a smart suit. Girlfriend Leanne Li accompanied Cho Lam's mother to support him at the event. Cho Lam was also given something by the organizer to raise him to a higher level, making it convenient to receive the award, which immediately caused everyone to laugh. He thanked the Heavenly Father and his family. When asked why he did not thank his girlfriend, he said, "I also thanked her. Today is like getting married. Everyone congratulated me and congratulated Leanne. (When are you getting married?) Let her see whether I'm well-behaved or not first. (Nominate your girlfriend?) She has to see me as a role model".

Personal Note: Congrats to Cho Lam! Such an accomplishment! He should be the first TVB artiste to receive 'Outstanding Young Person'! :)

Although the TVB series "Three Kingdoms RPG" has finished airing a while ago, male lead Kenneth Ma went to Wu Kai Sha to act as a judge for a primary school students' cheerleading competition. A group of primary school students immediately surrounded him, also constantly calling him 'Wan Sun', his character name in the series.

One of the primary school students asked Kenneth if he liked Song Yau, played by Tavia Yeung, a lot, causing him to not know how to respond.

Personal Note: He he.... The kids still call Ma Ming 'Wan Sun'! Cute how one of the kids asked him if he liked Song Yau! :P

New generation goddess Eliza Sam said that there are many jobs recently, so made more money. She expressed that she wants to film a "Divas in Distress" sequel the most, even playfully expressed having thought of many new titles, including "Grandpa", "Grandma", and "Bra Bra". If there's a sequel, she hopes to collaborate with rumoured boyfriend Chin Ka Lok again, even thanking him for teaching her about acting. [She] thinks that [she] hasn't entered the industry long enough...hasn't experienced being badly written about by others, but she said that colleagues have told her that, when one is popular, there would naturally be a lot of gossip. However, [she] said that, recently, there has been enough rumours.

Personal Note: Eliza has so many events! :)

Wouldn't mind Poon Ka Tak making another modern comedy. :)

Eddie Cheung and Kathy Chow will be collaborating for the third time, partnering with Michael Tse in a new series revolving around the Disciplined Services in December. Michael will play a villain. Eddie, who filmed "Til Love Do Us Lie" last year, was asked whether he was filming series to save TVB, he humbly said, "TVB does not need saving! (The combination has a fresh feeling?) Ha! Does not have a fresh feeling...only for nostalgia! The priority of my work now is filming movies. CTI has contacted me, but have a sentimental debt to TVB. Collaborated with Kathy twice...have a lot of chemistry! Collaborating with Michael for the first time...definitely will have new sparks. His Laughing Gor is so popular...how could it not be okay!"

Personal Note: So many artistes filming for TVB again! Dayo Wong is also confirmed to return to film Tsui Ching Hong's series next year! :)

It'll be interesting to see Michael play a villain...looking forward to this combination!

'Princess Heung Heung' Eliza Sam did a catwalk for a fashion show. Christine Kuo, who has been used by the public as a comparison recently, was also at the event. Eliza said that she does not mind being compared...thinks that work is currently going well, so must cherish it. When taking a picture together, she did not remove her overcoat. Doe she think that she is not sexy enough? She said, "I don't think that I'm sexy. Even if wearing a bikini, it's because of the plot. (Think that figure is not good enough?) It's not bad, but think that t-shirt and jeans are even sexier!" Does she think that Christine is sexy? She sees her as a goddess, even praising her fairy-like beauty.

Christine Kuo Humbly Says That She Must Learn from Eliza Sam

Christine Kuo and Eliza Sam both did a catwalk for a fashion show. When taking a picture together, [Christine] suddenly removed her overcoat...seemed to be stealing the limelight. Regarding Eliza praising her as being beautiful like a fairy, she also praised her back: "She is also. She is very sweet. (Do you mind the public comparing the two of you?) I don't mind. If there's comparison, then there's improvement. I'll do my best with a normal heart. (Netizens say that Eliza is better than you?) Well, the majority thinks that it is so...she probably is really better than I am, so I must learn her good points". She, who is tall, even thinks that she is not tall enough!

Related post: Eliza Sam Labels Christine Kuo as True Goddess

Personal Note: He he.... Christine finally admitted that Eliza is 'better'. :P However, from the clip, can tell that Christine's speech has improved.

In Ming Pao's report, Christine said that the organizer arranged for the models, including herself and Eliza, to remove their overcoats to show off their one-piece dress inside when taking pictures, but there may have been miscommunication, so not everyone removed her overcoat.

Louis Cheung Looks for Ivana Wong to Film Sad MV

Louis Cheung's new song in his new album, "Flower of Life", was able to invite good friend Ivana Wong as the female lead of the MV. Because the two debuted at the same time, they became friends. When meeting, love to laugh and play around, but also no difficulty for the two to film sad scenes...already 'into the scene' once on set. When filming crying scenes, Ivana even did it in one take, causing the workers on set to be emotionally moved...giving a thunderous applause at the same time. To film Louis' MV, Ivana specially used her resting time during series filming to rush back from Mainland; after completing the MV, [she] immediately rushed back to Mainland to continue filming series, causing Louis to be extremely touched.

同度了多少
風雨搖 高峰陡峭
兩顆心 冷漠呼呼風叫囂

雲動了多少 分與秒
垂頭淚雨跌落山崗一瞬 花 開 了

*這朵鮮花 順時逆轉 逆時順轉 花蕊也是圓
六瓣相接間貫穿 便重疊永遠
這朵心花 順延未斷 蔓延情亂 接通萬世緣
緣盡愛未完 一刻的心軟

橫渡了多少
轉世橋 虛空飄緲
兩思憶 燙熱呼呼風裡燒

萌動了多少 歡與笑
抬頭淚眼覺悟甦醒一瞬 花 開 了

靜謐等待 禮待 傷害
唯美泛香堪採 過千載 回頭是最愛
無望金色的分割 還望素雅裡默哀

這朵鮮花 順時份轉 逆時代轉 一切也是圓
白晝昏暗間貫穿 便重聚繾綣
這朵心花 脈輪運算 麥田鳴願 接通萬世戀
緣盡也自圓 一刻的心暖
圓盡也是圓 一點的深遠

Personal Note: The song is quite nice...really like the melody's Chinese element! :) Also, quite like Louis' vocals.

Chin Ka Lok Happy to See High Ratings: Laughs at Producer for Being Daring

Chin Ka Lok and a group of artistes watched the finale of "Divas of Distress" while eating hot pot. Chin Ka Lok said that the series is very popular...expressed being excited to see a group of colleagues constantly working hard. He laughingly said that the producer is very daring, unexpectedly using him as the male lead. However, [he] also did not forget to praise Ku Ming Wah's outstanding performance, and also thought that Mimi Chu and Chung King Fai's relationship was very touching.

FYI: The final two episodes of "Divas of Distress" averaged 33 points, and peaked at 36 points.

Personal Note: Ha ha.... Out of everyone who could have gotten a champagne shower, it had to be the producer! :P Funny how Ku Ming Wah was still holding the cork when he was clarifying that he was not responsible for popping the cork! :D

Chin Ka Lok was already the lead in "A Bride for a Ride", so don't consider it daring for Poon Ka Tak to use him again. Liked his performance in here, as there were more layers to Chong Ka Long. :)

Ha ha.... Eliza only knew the first few words of the theme song of "The Return of the Condor Heroes"! :P

Overall, I enjoyed the series, but don't consider it to be a great series. Didn't like how the series was supposed to be about Chin Ka Lok being caught in between his mother and mother-in-law, as it only happened in the first few episodes. There were some sweet parts in Him and Mandy's storyline, but it was draggy and unrealistic. Also didn't like the ending, where the end of the world theory was brought up out of nowhere. However, liked the series for some of its standout characters.

The song "Gangnam Style" by Korean singer Psy has exploded in popularity around the world. 'So Kei' Ku Ming Wah, who has also exploded in popularity, danced the funny "Gangnam" dance in Kwun Tong Park, even creating 'So Kei's Version of Gangnam Style', and doing ballet and swimming poses...extremely hilarious! He highly praised Psy for having talent: "He is very clever. Although the moves are not very complicated, the song made the dance have its own style!" Afterward, when he went to the market to buy groceries, this caused an uproar, as neighbours wanted to take pictures with him and also shouted, 'So Kei'! When he got pricked by a lobster, causing some bleeding, the housewives immediately worryingly went up to him to see if he was okay. There were also fans who gave him juicy peaches...can see that he has already become a new generation 'Housewife Killer'!

Personal Note: Ha ha.... Even Ku Ming Wah is doing "Gangnam Style"! :P

Yesterday, Eliza Sam, who has had a rise in popularity, attended a mall event. The organizer arranged for a Mainland tourist group to look around, also arranging the tourist members to take pictures with her; she pitifully became a human backdrop. Eliza laughingly said that she has been working constantly recently, but happily busy. "I haven't calculated how much money I have made. If I were to calculate, then there would be no time to sleep". It's no wonder that she, who has been rushing to film "Triumph in the Skies II", filmed overnight and only slept for an hour before attending an event, but still energetic.

Plays Mimi Chu's Younger Version in New Series

When mentioning that "Divas in Distress" had its finale last night, Eliza frankly said that she is not willing to part: "When filming, only attended to my own dialogue and scenes. Re-watching the scene in which So Kei and his father recognize each other now, very touching". When mentioning that she and Mimi Chu, who plays her mother, have a great resemblance to each other, Eliza happily said, "In the series, Mimi, Ku Ming Wah, and I are a family. When chatting with Ku Ming Wah once, realized that we also have a round face". In the new series "Cousin, You Are Good", Eliza plays Mimi's younger version: "One day, in the makeup room, Mimi and I were looking at some younger pictures of her. I gave her some prop pictures to look at, and she immediately laughed at me as being a duplicate".

Would she buy a present to award herself for her popularity? Eliza humbly said, "I still have a lot of room for improvement. Sometimes afraid of reading the dialogue too quickly, and also afraid of going off-key. Must work hard for another two to three years...then be satisfied".

Personal Note: Sad that "Divas" has come to an end.

Ha ha.... Also thought that Mimi and Eliza look like each other! :)

The pregnant Angela Tong had a 'sorceress' look for her guest appearance in "Triumph in the Skies II". She, who was wearing flat shoes, showed excitement. During this, Eliza Sam, who is also in the series, appeared. Although Eliza and Angela's future husband, Chin Ka Lok, recently had rumours, the two females were not awkward...were graceful. Eliza even took the initiate to send her regards to the pregnant Angela. Angela expressed that she already knew Eliza before she filmed "Divas in Distress".

Personal Note: Can't even tell that Angela is pregnant in her fortune teller look!

Angela and Eliza most likely knew each other from hosting "Dolce Vita".

可有新戀人 成熟的戀人 成熟到沒再共你吵架
是我始終拒絕成長嗎 為何沒法裝作瀟灑
轉眼多少年 仍然想當年
仍然幼稚到又記起你 天真夠嗎

而我何以連住進新大廈 仍要為你留下陳舊梳化
或者早知道我在下沉時 喜愛仰臥到凌晨 累了又掛念你一下

近況好嗎 每天忙碌嗎 仍然是那麼認真嗎
可有新戀人 成熟的戀人 成熟到沒再共你吵架

When Eliza Sam attended the "10th Annual Wedding Expo 2012" 'Charming Ladies Wedding Dress and Evening Gown Fashion Show' event, she said that this is her second time wearing a wedding dress for work. She also frankly said that she has more jobs because of a recent rise in popularity. Even when shopping in the market for groceries, the vendor would take two dollars off and give free vegetables. As for being labelled a 'Homebody Guy Goddess', Eliza expressed gratitude toward her colleagues for calling her a 'Goddess'...also very happy when working.

編曲: Johnny Yim

外面十號大風 亦要撐住天空 接你放工
空想於心中 眉目傳送 開口即中
換著十樣面孔 直到與你坐家中 才算放鬆
委屈於心中 誰若流過一滴血雙份痛
情懷若未凍 就抱擁

*如角色不同 也不准內訌 你值得驕縱
拗得火紅 要懂得自控 各自變通
如理想不同 鬥心一樣勇 愛在我心中

不講 但是行動

幸運能做自己 倦透了也有你 獻上驚喜
現實人或事 難望完美 總是我 總是你
陪同著度過 樂與悲

Repeat *

手中 腦中

如角色不同 也不准內訌 你值得嬌縱
各種包容 各種哭或笑 暖著過冬
如理想不同 鬥心一樣勇 愛在我心中
不講 馬上行動
你在我心中 分到最大比重

Before Moses Chan was pulled out of the series, he was supposed to play Ruco's elder brother. The original storyline doesn't seem to have changed, as it seems that Edwin will be playing Ruco's original role, while Ruco will be taking over Moses' role.

East Touch Interview with Eliza Sam

岑麗香 逐格聽

01

幸好電視劇有字幕,否則近年大部分劇集你都未必聽得明。先有金剛的台式粵語,然後有苟芸慧來自加拿大但帶少少台灣口味的廣東話,還未夠,在《怒火街頭2》索性來個crossover,二人合演情侶,挑戰觀眾睇字幕的速度。

播完《怒2》,緊接是汪明荃與黃淑儀主演的《巴不得媽媽》,以為耳根得以修正,可以聽番字正腔圓的廣東話,殊不知內藏一位2010年度的華姐冠軍岑麗香,加拿大出世,對於廣東話處於識聽識講唔識寫同睇的階段,但不樣無損演出機會,劇中更是主線角色。不過講得唔正唔緊要,最緊要樣正身材正,在劇中的露背演出,令她榮昇為高登女神,雖然這個銜頭每兩小時update一次,但由此證明,身體語言永遠是最好的世界語言,聽唔清楚唔緊要,巴打們會好有心機咁逐格逐格慢慢聽得清清楚楚。

我、你、有、開心

在加拿大出世長大,爸爸媽媽會講廣東話,但只限聽中文,答英文,況且雙親更重視她要學好當地第二主流語言︰法文。由於在英語環境長大,能夠在朋友面前跟她講兩句中文,已經不得了,甚至自以為真的很厲害,直至參加華姐選美,大會要各人預備1分鐘中文的自我介紹,心想1分鐘,容易啦,結果……「結果去到現場,我講完自己個名、幾多歲、最鍾意紫色之後,已經不懂去講甚麼,隨後甚至連大會的安排我都聽不明白,心裏開始好驚。」於是參選的兩個月,自行研製一套拼音法,以英文單字拚廣東話,再以上下左右的剔號表示聲調。「所以到現在,接到劇本後,第一時間都是捉朋友幫我讀出來,然後立即mark住拼音。我知道就算幾努力,我都冇可能一瞬間就睇得明整份劇本,但一定同自己講要有進步,暫時我已經認到『我』、『你』、『有』、『開心』這幾個字,最頭痛是遇到四字成語,就算識讀也不明白當中意思,唯有死背。」

Hold住姐

在高登巴打眼中,她是新一代女神,因為劇中有濕身、露背等性感演出。事實上,以新人來說,她的演技算有交代,尤其一幕講錢嘉樂被狗咬傷重入院,她要在醫院門前含淚做直播,當中的淚水,滴滴都真貨上陣。「要多謝導演的安排,這一幕是煞科前拍的,有了前二十集的拍攝經歷,令我可回想起與嘉樂仔相處時的點滴,從而較易投入角色,擔心他的安危。」對香香來說,這場是重頭戲,多對白、獨腳戲、還要喊,所以收到劇本後,足足花了1個月時間去揣摩。「要我喊不難,我在排練時已經盡情地喊出來,但要我控制那種情緒去到適當時候才爆發,就非常有難度。直至後來前輩教我埋位前要蘊釀,去到某個位要hold住,到roll機才抒發出來,這樣做才有效果。」

香香正忙於拍《衝上雲霄2》,今次戲份不算多,但反而令她感到興奮。「拍《巴》時,很多對白要背,所以未到我埋位就坐埋一邊背背背,今次對白少了,讓我有更多時間去留意前輩的演技,是個好好的學習機會。」

Esther Kwan Confirmed to Film with Bobby Au Yeung in November

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

- The series will go from the Song Dynasty to the '50s and '60s, and then to the present...a love story that spans a thousand years.
- Esther Kwan will play a talented girl in the ancient times, a big sister in the '50s, and a popular host in the modern times.
- Bobby Au Yeung will play Judge Bao in the Song Dynasty, an Inspector in the '50s, and a police officer in the modern times.

Virginia Lok: "[Esther Kwan] is only signing for one series. It's because the script and the partner are captivating enough. In addition, the time could be accommodated. (Is there a need for her to get rid of her housewife look?) She is okay...skin has been kept very nicely".

Chong Wai Kin: "Esther really likes the story. Hope that she and Bobby can create sparks again! Although [she] has to take care of her daughter, she does not have additional requests. The only suggestion was wanting to have scripts earlier. (She has to lose weight?) I don't think that she is fat...has kept herself very well".

Related post: Chong Wai Kin's November Series Info

Personal Note: Can see why Esther is captivated with the story...can't wait to hear more about the storyline! :D

While Esther will be playing different roles in each time period, can see that Bobby's various roles seem to be related. Particularly looking forward to Justice Bao! :)

Chin Ka Lok and Eliza Sam attended a celebration dinner for the series ["Divas in Distress"]. The two did not show awkwardness because of rumours. Chin Ka Lok laughingly said that he has flirted with almost every female artiste in TVB, continuing to flirt with Eliza, whose Cantonese is not good. However, Eliza shouted, "I don't want to have rumours again!"

Personal Note: Nice to see that the ratings have gone up!

Ha ha.... Didn't expect Chin Ka Lok to be the overall winner of "All Star World Exam", winning two tickets to travel around the world, but he does have a dragon baby on the way bringing him luck! ;)

Supporting Ku Ming Wah for 'Best Supporting Actor'!

Ha ha.... Funny how Chin Ka Lok suggested 《巴不得Bra Bra...》 to be the next installment...would have expected him to say 《巴不得BB...》! :P

Ha ha.... The song that Chin Ka Lok made to make fun of Eliza is what "Super Trio" uses to 'sing bad' about the guests! :P

Nice to hear that Jojo Cho is enjoying the series...she even treated the series crew to dinner! :)

Ruco Chan Pushed to First Line: Coupled with Linda Chung

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

010203

TVB will be filming the 30-episode grand production "Big Wheel", which goes through different decades. Produced by Amy Wong, the male leads are TVB's new siu sang Ruco Chan and the recently heavily promoted Edwin Siu. The story is about the two's brotherhood. The two will go from 20 years old to 50 years old. TVB is also spending money by planning to film in Macau for a month. Producer Amy Wong expressed that TVB is investing a lot to film this time. The storyline will film from 1991 to 2013. Because Ruco's character is a police officer in the beginning, there will be many action scenes, and will also be a pair with Linda Chung in the series. Other actors include Kristal Tin, Louis Yuen, etc.

Edwin Siu Excited to Be the Lead

When reporters interviewed Ruco over the phone, he frankly said that he would be collaborating with Linda for the first time: "Actually, she is an actress I really like...gives people a feeling that is very comfortable. In the series, I like her a lot, but there will be some triangular relationship". When talking about having to film action scenes, Ruco frankly said that, although having to film three series consecutively, form is extremely good...believes in being able to handle it. As for Edwin, he expressed that he will be having a significant role for the first time...really anticipating it. When being interviewed, he expressed that, since he is a Foshan person in the series, has to do a more Mainland feel. When talking about TVB promoting him to become a first-line siu sang position, he said, "I accumulated a lot these few years. Have gone from a few episodes to a lead now in these two years...feel very excited. (Many people left, so there are opportunities?) People can see when everyone works hard". Linda also expressed having anticipation for this series. When talking about collaborating with Ruco for the first time, she frankly said that she is happy, and even praised him for being a good actor.

FYI: Before Moses Chan was pulled out of this series, he and Ruco Chan were supposed to play brothers, and the series was supposed to take place in the '80s.

Personal Note: Nice to see a different cast combination in a grand production! Location filming in Macau for a month...definitely a big investment!

Guess Edwin didn't include his series from before his return to TVB, as he was already a lead in "Aqua Heroes".

Will probably be hearing more series news, as TVB is getting ready for the Sales Presentation.

Eliza Sam Rises to Goddess: Grateful to Netizens

TVB artiste Eliza Sam has become the 'Homebody Guy' favourite, and has quickly risen to become a new generation goddess because of a seeping through bra scene and a half-nude scene in a new series. Regarding this, Eliza frankly thanked the netizens for their recognition; however, she emphasized that she did not deliberately show her figure. She said, "I did not purposely wear a white t-shirt. It was because the scene was continued, so that is why [I] was dressed like that. When filming, I had already known that it was seeping through, but couldn't do anything about it...had to hang in there and continue filming".

In addition, she revealed that, during the filming of the series, the series crew frequently parodied her real name, giving the nickname 「尋日香」. She laughed, "They suddenly called me 「尋日香」. I didn't know the meaning of this; however, when I found out what it meant, I immediately told them that I didn't die yet. I can still go to work...really drove me crazy!"

Personal Note: Very 'kuso' of the series crew to come up with the nickname 「尋日香」 (meaning 'died yesterday').... :P

New generation 'Homebody Guy Goddess' Eliza Sam appeared at a shoe show. With regard to being labelled as a goddess, she thanked everyone for their support. As for appearing with predecessor goddess Christine Kuo, would she feel that she has replaced Christine's goddess position? She flatteringly said, "I'm not a homebody guy, but I also think that she is a goddess!" [She] emphasized many times that she would not compare herself to Christine...would only compare with herself.

In addition, she has been recently rumoured with Chin Ka Lok. Did it anger Angela Tong? Eliza immediately had a big reaction, explaining that it's fake! [She] also revealed that Angela called her previously, telling her not to worry, which moved her.

'Homebody Guy Goddess' Christine Kuo appeared at a fashion show in a back-revealing outfit with the new 'Homebody Guy Goddess' Eliza Sam. When asked whether they were competitors, she emphasized that they are good friends...happy for her that she has this new nickname. Does not think that she has been replaced by her, laughingly saying that she has her own position, and emphasizing that both of their personalities and styles are different...not competitors. As for it being said that Eliza's Cantonese is better than hers, she immediately said, "Don't think that hers is better than mine. Both of us are Western girls...about the same".

Christine was not willing to say her winning points, but thought of some special points that the other has in which she does not: "She really likes to smile. Much more simple. (You're complicated?) Ha ha.... I've lived in Hong Kong this long".

Personal Note: Ha ha.... It's obvious that Eliza's Cantonese is better! :P

天生愛情狂 《天生愛情狂》 主題曲 - 張智霖

作曲/編曲: Walter Wong
填詞: 火火
監製: 陳西敏

應該我是太可怕 逼得你厭煩 如肥皂劇對白
寧願和啞巴 欣賞這一天的落霞 仍沒空與我共進晚餐
清楚我沒有風格 稱呼都太肉麻 途人還在笑吧
留在誰的家 來度過周末及長假 避開見我 這段愛像越愛越難

*情人因我害怕麼 像滿頭尖角的一位惡魔 要推開我
還歧視的看著我 像歧視 長路邊乞丐眼光
廢話太多 但你無知覺 傷口的痛楚 如像一語道破
原來因你越愛得過火 終於誰亦笑我是傻

終於我未夠資格 高攀於你殿堂 如情人被愛吧
流淚無止境 難度愛不斷被神化 就只有我 發現原來就更差

Repeat *

仍然一錯又錯麼 但我仍想錯 哭泣得太多
誰又不停在笑我 瘋戀得太過才會失望
我已經背負太多 被愛情傷過 悲慘的結果
如像撕斷脈搏 沿途鮮血滴過 得我只一廂情願愛上折磨

Making Money Is More Important for Kenneth Ma Than Competing for Awards

Last night, artiste Kenneth Ma attended the celebration dinner for the TV series "Three Kingdoms RPG", which was treated by TVB Chairman Norman Leung. As for it being 'one vote per person' to choose this year's TV king, would he be confident in winning an award? He said, "A normal heart! (Not enthusiatic about awards?) More enthusiastic toward making money! (Would you be pushing for votes?) Will not! Looks disgusting".

Raymond Lam: Viewers Voting for TV King Increases Ratings

Last night, artiste Raymond Lam attended the celebration dinner for the TV series "Three Kingdoms RPG", but he showed up 45 minutes late. He explained that he was late because of rushing to film a movie, even hurting his left index finger when showering. TVB will be having 'one vote per person' to choose this year's TV king. Would he, who has many fans, have even more confidence in winning an award? He said, "Confidence would be slightly higher. Also, this system is quite good...can attract more attention from viewers. If there are more viewers, then the ratings would naturally be high".

Personal Note: Never heard of any rumours about "Three" having a sequel.... o_O

When asked about whether Ma Ming and Tavia had ideas for future collaborations, funny how Ma Ming said that he just wants to pair up with Tavia! :)

Ha ha.... The J2 commentary mentioned that Ma Ming is some industry people's choice for TV king for his performance in "Three", but it's obvious that Ma Ming would be running for TV king with Cheung Yat Kin...even Linda Chung and Bosco Wong mentioned "The Hippocratic Crush"! :P

Raymond is frequently late; however, this time, he hurt his finger while rushing to the dinner, and it looks quite painful.

Sing Tao Interview with Eliza Sam

前輩疼錫自覺如「公主」 岑麗香獲汪阿姐教戲好感動

eliza

樣子甜美的岑麗香(香香),近日於劇集《巴不得媽媽》演女主播而為人認識,經驗尚淺的她拍此劇有壓力,幸得前輩如汪阿姐教戲,香香將他們比喻為演藝生涯中的「天使」!

新紮小花岑麗香憑參選2010華姐選美入行,鬼妹仔性格的她,與《巴》劇的角色同樣性格率真,今次佔戲不輕,難免有壓力。她說:「這套劇有很多戲分,令我好緊張,一來廣東話不夠好,二來沒太多演戲經驗,一有空我就看很多無綫劇集。我給自己好大壓力,因為想做得好,但經驗少,不想交不到功課,唯有不停打電話給親戚和經理人說好緊張,他們勸我慢慢來。」

香香今趟夥拍一班老戲骨如黃淑儀、汪明荃和錢嘉樂,擔心資歷淺累人NG,幸好一班前輩疼錫,連化妝和梳頭阿姐也幫她「翻譯」劇本,待遇真的如「香香公主」般,「只要我肯問,大家好肯幫我,令我好感動,令我更想做好一點。我和錢嘉樂演很多對手戲,他感覺到我的緊張,叫我『定啲嚟』,解析對白意思給我聽,不停問我明不明白,又教我如何演得自然些,甚麼位可以停。」香香起初擔心和汪明荃合作,因對方要求嚴格,不過合作過後,大讚阿姐好人。她說:「某次和阿姐拍完一場戲,我對她說:『阿姐,不好意思,我有一場戲不明白,可不可以教我?』那場戲要我大鬧媽咪,媽咪是我尊重的人,我如何可用力鬧?會不會好衰?阿姐解釋給我聽,是劇本要我駡人,只要用道理去鬧便可以了。結果監製好滿意那場戲。幸好身邊有這一班天使甚有耐性教我,幫我紓解壓力,令我可以開心地工作。」

近年不少花旦離巢發展,新人趁機可上位,香香沒想太多,她說:「好感謝監製肯用一個新人,給予我機會,好多謝公司。即使某些場口沒我份,我都會去探班,可以偷師學習下。我不想太急上位,不想自己和身邊人辛苦,想自然慢慢進步。」

■岑麗香慶幸獲前輩拍檔支持,讓演出更順利。

■岑麗香未想過上位做當紅花旦,只望繼續進步。

When Lawrence Ng went to watch a stage drama, he revealed that he would be taking part in the sequel of the TVB series "The Hippocratic Crush": "Filming next year in February. Successfully discussed it when bumping into [Virginia] Lok at Eric Tsang's birthday. (Conditions?) Okay! But not for money. Doing it for TVB...also have benefits for myself". Who is the female partner? He expressed that it has not been finalized yet, but would be a female star whom he has collaborated with before. As for whether it was Ada Choi, he said, "She is very busy. Hope that there's a chance in the future!" He also revealed that he has discussed the matter of filming series with CTI; however, cannot appear on other television stations for a year after filming series for TVB, laughing at himself for not being a productive artiste, so it doesn't affect him.

Lawrence Ng's Partner in New Series Is a Heavyweight

Last night, artistes Lawrence Ng and Patrick Tang attended the final showing of the musical 《風之后》. Lawrence expressed that he specially went to support Wylie Chiu, and also revealed that he would be taking part in the sequel of "The Hippocratic Crush" next year in February: "Earlier, at Eric Tsang's birthday party, when bumped into Virginia Lok, so successfully discussed it. The sequel will have the original crew, but keeping the female lead a secret first. She collaborated with me before, also a heavyweight, and did not get married yet".

Lawrence Ng Has No Fate Collaborating with Ada Choi in New Series

Lawrence Ng watched the stage drama 《風之后》. He revealed that he would be taking part in the new series "The Hippocratic Crush II" next year.

September 10, 2012
馬國明盼時光倒流:結局可能改寫

自從無綫筍盤陳豪被陳茵媺封盤後,形象乖仔的馬國明即被封為新一代筍盤。馬明先後與兩位女藝人拍拖,胡定欣是唯一公開的舊愛,首段圈內情緣雖是不能說的秘密,但他坦言若能回到從前,結局可能會改寫。馬國明在本報一連五天的專訪真情剖白,訴說愛情親情事業的苦與樂。

01

雖然我38歲,但至今只有3段戀情。初戀是在加拿大讀書時發生,其餘兩段戀情,都是入行後發生,第三段是與胡定欣。第二段是跟誰?恕不能透露!第二段戀情,是入行後首次拍拖,不想說是怎認識,總之是工作上認識,她是很好的女仔。當時我真的不懂處理,從未傳過緋聞,怕戀情曝光會影響她,我們最終要分手。只可以說,有些問題解決不來,所以有共識及和平地分手,跟第三者無關,也跟誰名氣大沒相干。

「見她幸福已足夠」

是否因被記者影過相而驚到分手?我從沒講過拍過拖,只說怕被拍到,說不定她是從來沒跟我傳過緋聞的女星呢!哈哈!不要逼我說她是誰,這是不能說的秘密。

02
馬國明坦言與曾華倩非常投契。

03
胡定欣與馬國明因性格不合而分手。

04
馬國明入行至今甚少戀情,除了承認與胡定欣拍拖外,最令人深刻便是與曾華倩傳緋聞。

如果這段感情是現在發生,我想會比以前更懂得去處理,或者結局可能改寫。不過,對方已有新戀情,我也不會再想會否復合。可不可惜?見到她幸福已足夠,遺憾也沒有,始終大家一起開心過。

跟我傳緋聞的女星不多,首次傳緋聞的是曾華倩,她性格很爽朗,坦白說,我們真的很投契,有說不完的話題。我很信任她!她真的是一個非常好的女仔。當時傳我們是姊弟戀,我真的不懂處理,華倩叫我不要怕不要理會。報道指她兒子不接受我,我從來不介意她有否小朋友,亦都沒見過。有否拍拖?我很欣賞她,大家很夾。喜歡?她是我好朋友,當然喜歡。心動?她是好女仔,但可能被傳媒報道後很驚,當時不懂處理。

撐前女友冇公主病

近年我才承認跟胡定欣拍拖,因為她的新聞都很負面,不是指她是港女公主病就是說她發姣!我作為一個男人,是否應該站出來為她說句公道話呢?我們拍過拖,更加了解她為人,以我這個身份為她澄清,希望會更有說服力。

拍《衝上雲霄》時已認識定欣,直至做《舞動奇迹2》時才開始熟落。後來她搬到我家附近,有時碰巧一起收工,就會一齊call的士返家,這樣慢慢才走在一起,絕對不是外間所指她為接近我而搬來!父母只要認為斯文就可以,從不會因為新聞而影響對定欣的觀感。

情侶變朋友少拗撬

我家庭觀念很重,拍拖當然以結婚為目標,無謂拍散拖浪費時間。我和定欣拍拖時,又未想到結婚這樣長遠,怎會一拍拖就打算結婚!定欣不是常要管束男友的那種女孩,只會鼓勵,或者有時勸我改變衣着或敢作敢為一點,但我不會理她,哈!其實她是為我好。分手因為立場不同,至今未想過要復合。分手後我們也是朋友,關係比以前更好,可能沒有這麼多牽掛掣肘吧!

任何人對另一半一定有要求,定欣很少對我發忟憎,只是我有時會觸怒她,例如我沒梳頭、着衫求其。但如果作為朋友,就不會有那麼多拗撬,朋友閒來聚聚便可,但拍拖要時刻相對,尤其熱戀時,每晚都想見到對方。相處久了,問題自然浮面。

爆瘡歲月 冇膽溝女

馬國明雖以「我係會睇鹹網嘅正常男人」來自貶筍盤身價,但相比同期獲無綫力捧、但與國產乳牛關係七國咁亂的林峯、吳卓羲和黃宗澤來說,享受做裙腳仔的馬國明,就有本事令尖酸刻薄的討論區巴打以「真男人」封他為「男神」。

05
馬國明自嘲閒時會睇鹹網,不承認是筍盤。

加拿大返港後有5至6年都不敢追女仔,當時薪水少得可憐!難道約女仔出街逼巴士嗎?加上當時我滿臉暗瘡,令我有點自卑,那又如何放膽追女仔?直至皮膚好轉,事業開始有進步,這才增強自信,放膽主動約會。

06
陳敏之是馬國明的知心好友,但不會過電。

人人都說我是筍盤,我真的沒資格,其實我有很多不為人知的事。如果話我沒看過鹹網,你信嗎?我是正常男人,不是和尚,但絕對不是宅男。人人以為做這行一定有很多女孩主動埋身,但至今真的沒女孩向我示愛!雖然有時會聽到有同事說:「有個女仔對你有好感!」但我沒刻意去驗證,雖然有想過約人,但又沒時間,之後便見那女孩和另一男士拍拖了。

其中一個好友陳敏之,老友程度是無所不談。老實說,當年有想過追她,但想深一層還是做朋友較好,加上她已有男友嘛!哈哈!媽媽有時會話我:「邊個邊個auntie介紹話有個女仔幾好喎!」不過,人家會對我這個娛樂圈人有戒心,以為很花弗。李詩韻笑言會介紹女孩給我說了多年,至今照片都沒一張,哈哈!黃智雯亦曾說要介紹空姐給我,都不夠三星期,就說那空姐已拍拖。老友徐榮對我也很好,但至今只介紹他老婆我認識!哈!聽得很多,但安排見面的一次也沒有!

我很享受跟家人同住,所以婚後都想繼續同家人住。我知道香港女仔很介意,婆媳關係不易處理,但我相信一定找到接受我這個想法的太太。我要求不高,不要求靚女或有錢。要不要身材很好?嘩!我不能接受身材太誇張的女孩。婚姻是一生一世,性格合得來就足夠。

胡杏兒:馬明成日話追我

馬國明入行以來的首個緋聞女友,是當年和他一起接受電台訪問而結緣的曾華倩。2005年,馬明被拍得與曾華倩在咖啡室密會,又出入女方香閨,即被傳兩人姊弟戀。傳聞歸傳聞,馬國明至今亦高度讚揚曾華倩是好女仔,更以「非常投契」來形容。曾華倩接受本報訪問,對於馬國明給自己的高度評價照單全收,並簡而精地說:「好多謝馬明咁讚賞我,我都好鍾意睇佢啲戲o架!總之大家努力啦!」

07
胡杏兒指馬國明由鵪鶉變口花是好事。

另外,自胡杏兒與黃宗澤分手後,即傳馬明與胡杏兒撻着。雖然緋聞假到唔假,但杏兒受訪時竟爆對方仍在追求她。杏兒笑謂:「馬明到依家都成日話要追我,不過係講笑啫!佢以前好鵪鶉,收收埋埋,行步路都要黐牆,但依家佢係心情開放咗,成日同助手或化妝阿姐口花花講笑。呢個轉變係好,由以前係一隻鵪鶉變成今日好有星味嘅藝人。(佢口花花啱唔啱你?)做朋友OK,但係我真係冇諗過,太唔真實嘞!」

馬國明:我跟林峯唔同

無綫劇《衝上雲霄》、《少年四大名捕》捧出馬國明、林峯、吳卓羲及黃宗澤,路開了,是否開到荼蘼則是個人修為。林峯已Chok出個未來,自認為悶蛋的馬國明,直言情願不應酬:「我同林峯的路不同!」踏實搵錢對馬國明似乎比得獎更實際。

01
馬國明自認悶蛋,在圈中是公認的乖乖仔。

跟林峯、黃宗澤和吳卓羲私底下很少出來交流,在公司碰面會較多話。當年拍劇大家都只是愛貪玩的o靚仔,根本談不上有何演技。從來都不覺得大家會有競爭,我不敢說大家很老友,但起碼不會互搶。

02
有指林峯識Social受公司力捧,馬國明坦言自己與他的路不同。

個個都想搵人仔

現在誰不想返內地拍劇搵大錢?在公司鬥到你死我活都冇用,說白點,公司愈多演員拍戲,即是你愈有機會可以去內地搵外快,誰會想在公司錄影廠拍足365日?人人都想出去搵外快,所以冇話邊個想整死邊個。以我所知,因為我冇期,公司已經替我推了三、四部內地劇。

我從冇假想敵,不跟人家比較,要妒忌不如妒忌英超球星啦!可以邊踢波邊賺幾百萬英鎊!羨慕林峯?視乎你以哪種心態去看待。林峯喜歡唱歌,但我不愛當歌手,人家說林峯識Social所以上位快,我是不擅長Social,大家的路不同,如果要我去應酬仲慘過死!我同期藝訓班的同學都走得七七八八,剩下一、兩個還等待機會,我能說自己不幸運嗎?入行只是做了三年路人甲乙丙就可以拍《衝上雲霄》,我只會以「半杯水」心態對待,即是我還有半杯水,不夠好嗎?

獎金比獎項重要

早年取過飛躍獎,完全冇飄飄然,獎金同獎項?我寧願要獎金,獎項只是鼓勵,難道你飢寒交迫時把獎座吞落肚?最基本的生活要維持到,否則說有甚麼理想根本是談不上!

人家說得高層歡心會易攞獎,坦白說,每個人總會偏愛某一個,有句說話很有道理:「不是你能力有幾高,而是你上司認為你能力有多高。」我和上司都OK夾,但一定未係最夾的一群。林峯一定係公司比較力捧,因為公司看到他擁有一些我冇的長處,所以不可以說公司偏心。

馬國明:唔怕畀人話我窮

馬國明愛實際怕排場,雖是上位一線小生,但至今仍會搭港鐵逼廠巴去開工。應使得使,目標是儲錢買樓去,曾誤信山埃貼士,買股票蝕五十萬入晒肉,始終買樓最實際。

01
馬國明早年投資股票蝕錢,現在惟有密密儲錢寄望換樓。

我向來目標明確,就係買間更大的樓給家人更舒適的生活。從來對物質及名牌不大追求,所以常被取笑着衫零taste,我為人實際,愛計數,平時只愛搭港鐵,雖然我有車,但有時搭港鐵更方便。我不是有錢就換車那類人,我架五座位車已有四年,如果要換就換部七人車,因為可載更多家人去郊遊。我不介意你說我孤寒,但我清楚明白,如果花費在家人及屋企上,一定不算是浪費,反而叫我買過百萬元的名車或名錶,要搞這些排場,我不知道意義何在。

愛搭港鐵

相比其他明星,可能大家都覺得我怪,但如果我不是做這行,我其實很正常!我不怕人家說我窮,周潤發搭巴士,你們說是親民,那為甚麼其他明星去大牌檔或搭港鐵就被指為窮?標準是看你如何訂。搭港鐵時,頂多有觀眾走來說要合照簽名,不覺得有何不方便。

02
馬國明曾被拍到搭港鐵,認為沒有甚麼不便。

擔起頭家

買股票?真的怕怕不敢!早年相信朋友的所謂貼士,怎料蝕到損手爛腳,蝕了差不多五十萬!雖然當時用多餘錢去買,但全是有血有汗,真的好心痛。拍劇可以賺得幾多?都是靠外快,因為一鋪而「衰咗」,惟有寄望隻股升番。幸好向來冇家庭負擔,是近這十年父親退休,我才正式叫做擔起頭家,所以,現在都是密密儲錢,買磚頭較穩陣,希望可以快點換樓,買間大些的屋將來繼續和父母同住。

馬國明:唔做主角有好處

做了三年路人甲就有機會被力捧,馬國明說做茄哩啡的日子好玩非常,多年來更遇上不少良師益友,羅嘉良的一哥風範,許紹雄的豁達看人生,令他一生受用。

01
初出道時曾做茄哩啡的馬國明,感激近年演戲機會不斷。

移民回流正值金融風暴,寄超過七十封求職信,唯一有回音是月薪4500元的藝訓班,阿媽話:「好過坐喺屋企!」所以先入行。我是不會輕易轉工的人,也不相信一步登天,讀完訓練班三年後有機會拍《衝上雲霄》,直到現在不斷有工開,我還有何怨言?

當年讀訓練班時好開心融洽,如得三句對白給路人甲乙丙講,大家會一人分一句,而且見到主角在現場準備,獲益良多。有時有人甩底,PA叫我幫手頂,幫到手下次又醒多你一句對白,都幾好玩o架!

02
馬國明佩服黎耀祥事業家庭兼顧,有一哥風範。

03

04
馬國明當年讀完訓練班已有機會拍《衝上雲霄》。

羅嘉良有耐性

其實同任何人合作,都會從他們身上學懂很多。例如拍《創世紀》,我飾演股票經紀,因為當時「飛紙仔」,臨拍前 的半小時才給我,還要講足成頁對白,所以NG了多次,搞到全部人要等我收工。當時羅嘉良真的很好,每次見我NG,都叫我慢慢來,冇畀面色我睇,很有耐性, 這就是真正的一哥!

黎耀祥、劉松仁和許紹雄也是我很佩服的前輩,只要你有心機去做,他們一定會「放料」給你。我佩服黎耀祥有妻有兒都依然 是一哥,證明這行不是要偶像派、不結婚拍拖才可走紅,而他亦不分階級,會跟你交流;劉松仁的演技令你覺得演戲是學無止境,許紹雄的豁達給你看到事情的另一 面。他說過不做主角也有好處,例如每次電影記招後,主角總被記者圍着狂問私人問題,他說:「不知幾輕鬆!拍拍籮柚就走得!」我認同專心做戲不用煩是非新聞 其實是舒服。

從來都冇人奉承我,就算而家叫做出名亦是一樣。由訓練班開始,跟梳頭化妝的阿姐都很少傾偈,但相處多年自然有話題,以前我被指是啞的,可以兩個小時都默不作聲,因為我怕得罪人。

馬國明撇初戀女友:怕阿媽寂寞

要說馬國明是裙腳仔實不為過,衣食住行以阿媽行先,就連初戀也是一句「怕阿媽寂寞」而無聲結束。所以如果見到馬國明跟一名中年女性翹手行街狀甚親密,不用懷疑,這人不是「契媽」,而是馬國明心目中的女神:馬媽媽!

01
馬國明坦言家庭放第一位,將來結婚亦會與父母同住。

我的初戀在移民到加拿大時發生,女友後來要到多倫多讀書,雖然曾想過跟她一起去,但是兩個姐姐已去了另一個埠讀書,爸爸做太空人留在港工作,這樣只得媽媽一個孤伶伶在家,我怕她寂寞,很可憐。所以最後我留在溫哥華,和女友兩地相隔,加上要見她的話,又要花錢買機票,電話費又很貴,所以初戀維持約一年,慢慢少聯絡下告終。

後悔鬧母親

年少時不懂珍惜,只會將家看成酒店般,回家不是吃就是睡。直至移民到加拿大,全家只得我一個男丁,開始會想是否應盡責任照顧家人,難道連剪草都要媽媽代勞?有一個畫面令我難忘至今,是媽媽不小心把我一件很貴的tee,混在其他的衣服洗而染色,當時我很兇地罵她,之後就不睬她。後來我見到媽媽跪在浴缸旁,很用心地嘗試洗淨那件染了色的tee,那刻我禁不住落淚。那件tee只值千多元,但是如果你媽媽有天不在時,你可以用這千多元買回她嗎?

溫書冇得蒲

爸爸是工程師,常說自己是讀理工出身,很希望我和兩個姐姐可以大學畢業,所以他真的很辛苦供養我們。那時我住得太遠,連去玩都要花一小時車程,加上見爸爸這樣辛苦,所以除了做兼職幫補外,幾乎日日在家,零娛樂下專心讀書,這個學位是這樣「悶」來的,亦養成不愛蒲的性格。

從來沒想過搬離家人,即使結婚也想繼續和爸媽同住,方便照顧。現在我開始算有事業,可以讓父母依賴我,這很有滿足感。到現在,我仍很喜歡翹着媽媽的手臂行街。十二、三歲時怕被笑不成熟而不敢翹,其實只有不成熟才會怕。
