Raymond Lam's Short Film Theme Song MV


"The Same Forest" - Raymond Lam

同林 (愛在1分鐘版) 《愛在魅來1分鐘》 主題曲 - 林峯

作曲: 鄧智偉
填詞: 林日曦
編曲: Johnny Yim
監製: 鄧智偉/莊冬昕

一對簡單鳥兒 飛過山水萬里
那同林年代 會自信長留原地
不再簡單鳥兒 不再甘心把臂
從成長之中失散 各自各飛

年和年掠過一個過活 空氣將你跟我隔開
頑強面對所有意外 裝作英勇爬越障礙
繁忙日子掙扎太耐 喘息之間靠近了窗台
便記起 圍牆外

疑幻人生 《法網狙擊》 主題曲 - 謝天華/森美

作曲/編曲: 葉肇中
填詞: 黃厚霖

*疑幻人生 無需答辯 如野火蔓延 我做最光最閃
人生 難分惡善 無悔洗掉從前 與罪惡力拼每一天

憑信念揭發最邪惡一面 勇氣傲氣有正義在這邊
任何是非都不過得兩面 不畏懼那怕結局再膽顫

盡了力那怕會遇到閃電 憑努力揭秘惡行定勝天
只靠自己可通過真試煉 將正義倍數放大到天邊

"Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles" Promotional Event 4

When artiste Tavia Yeung attended a promotional event for the series "Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles", her forehead and face were discovered to be full of pimples. She denied having pressure due to competing for TV queen...only caused from an endocrine imbalance. As for it being said that she accepted half of Kate Tsui's fee to perform on the same stage, she said that she did not know the other party's fee, but admitted to having made quite a bit of money from the two working together recently.

Rebecca Zhu Choosing a Boyfriend: Forced to Have Kenneth Ma

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

0102

Last year's Miss Hong Kong winner, Rebecca Zhu, was fortunate to collaborate with TVB's two handsome guys, Kenneth Ma and Ron Ng, in her first series. She was full of praises for the two. If she had to choose one of the two, she laughingly said, "They're both tall and handsome. Any girl would like them! Really very difficult to choose. Kenneth is also right beside me. If I don't choose him, he may get mad at me!" Kenneth immediately looked at her and said, "Well, it is really quite difficult to choose because I'm sitting beside you...unless you take my exterior!"

Before Kenneth worked with Rebecca, he did not know who she was: "Truthfully, didn't really know who she was. Knew that she was a Miss Hong Kong winner. It was only the first day of filming 'Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles' with her that I knew how she looked". Rebecca even revealed that, before filming, Kenneth called her by the wrong name: "One day, he thought that I was someone else, but will not say whom he mistook me for!" Kenneth immediately interrupted, "Really? Really don't remember. Called you Fala Chen? Ha ha!"

The two of them became familiar with each other because of filming series. Kenneth even created a nickname for her. He laughingly said, "We created 'Morning Beautiful Zhu' for her. Many people with nicknames would get popular, but thought that it was too long, so called her 'Morning Zhu' afterward". However, Rebecca frankly said that it's extremely difficult to take in: "At first, was really not used to hearing it. Thought that the name was really weird, but he liked calling me that, so can't help it".

Personal Note: Ma Ming was the one who came up with the nickname 「Morning 朱」, but didn't know that it was originally the more literal 「Morning Beautiful 朱」! :P

Rebecca sometimes refers to herself as 'Morning', so she must like the nickname now! :)

Enjoying their partnership in "Silver"! :)

'Young Ignorance' Wins CASH: Unfortunately Lacking Bowie Lam to Perform Together

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVBE Clip

01

Moses Chan, Kenny Wong, and Bowie Lam won 'Best Vocal Collaborations' at CASH's awards ceremony for TVB's "When Heaven Burns" [sub] song, "Young Ignorance". Unfortunately, Bowie is working in Mainland; thus, under the circumstances of three without one, could not perform live. Moses and Kenny said that they did not expect the song to win a music award for a second time. "When Heaven Burns" can be said to be a miraculous journey. For the song to be able to win an award at the CASH awards ceremony can be considered a classic and praise for them as TV people.

Related post: Sober Band @ Sina Music Awards 2011

Personal Note: Congratulations to Sober Band once again! When Bowie first introduced the three of them as Sober Band, didn't expect the song to make such an impact, even getting acknowledged by the Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong! :D

Nancy Wu Worked for Ten Years: Speaks Up About Competing for 'Supporting Actress'

"Scoop" Clip

Last night, Nancy Wu attended a 'Long Service and Outstanding Employee Awards Presentation' in which she received a ten-year service gold medal. She received the award in a back-revealing gown, expressing satisfaction about her results in the past ten years, and hoping to receive the 'Best Supporting Actress' award this year in her tenth year of entering the industry as a reward. She laughingly said, "Was also very stunned to discover that Wayne Lai and I both received a ten-year gold medal together. I have already been watching him act since young".

Personal Note: Guess Nancy didn't know that Wayne left TVB before, as he didn't return until "Greed Mask", where he played Halina Tam's transgendered character!

It looks as though Nancy has a chance to sweep the 'Supporting' awards this year! :)

Eliza Sam Making Loads of Money: Prepared to Pay Taxes

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

01

With the year coming to an end, 'Homebody Guy Goddess' Eliza Sam continues to make money before series filming starts. She attended a Christmas mall event and expressed that she has received many jobs recently. When asked whether she would pay heavy taxes this year, she said, "Used to live in Canada...this year is the first year paying taxes in Hong Kong, so [I'm] prepared". She also said that she is not worried about spending a lonely Christmas. She said, "Very busy next month. In the beginning of the month, must prepare for the new series 'Sniper Attack'. In the middle of the month, must join the series crew. Have many people spending Christmas with me...also very happy".

Personal Note: Expecting the 'Homebody Guy Goddesses' to pay a lot of taxes this year!

When Eliza was in Malaysia, she said that she would play a sniper. :)

Surprisingly, enjoyed the parkour segment the most! Didn't expect Stefan, in particular, to do so much and to do well.

Raymond forgot that he already won a lucky pocket worth $38,000 in 2005. That year, also remember Patrick not making it on stage on time to retrieve his pocket, so it ended up going to Sharon.

Kenneth Ma's Commemorative Ring Has Deep Meaning

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

010203

Recently, artiste Kenneth Ma has been popular among netizens. First, he was selected as 'the strongest hot property', and he also received first in a discussion forum's 'God' [poll]. His series "Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles" is also airing every night. Fans would certainly want to know what this 'God' likes. The ring on Kenneth's pinky is really loved by him. This ring is actually a memento from his post-secondary graduation, which is only obtained by students who graduate from engineering. The school has a tradition of only wearing it on the pinky...no wonder he greatly treasures it.

As for medals, it is a Hong Kong Educational Soccer Tournament Silver Medal he received in high school...had blood and sweat, and was extremely impressive. He even said, "It's the soccer medal with the greatest weight that I have!" Kenneth excelled in his studies, and he is also not bad in sports...the title of 'the strongest hot property' is certainly fully deserving!

Personal Note: He he.... Remember Ma Ming showing off his soccer medal on a TVB8 programme, but the reverse side was shown this time! :P

亂世裡相隨 池塘微風吹
寒夜裡 池魚無力快沉睡

聽 疾風暴雷 看 落花凝聚
幾千里 雲與月 人生之旅
游累了 存活也許靠同類

你 力爭上游 我 為己勞累
相爭鬥 同對陣 纏繞失據
寧願你 寧願我 寧願並肩抵抗 對分享雨水

能一起進一起激憤燒熱氣溫
能一起退一起安慰 抵禦四周急降溫
落魄與失神 從來同根生
磨難裡 同命奮飛抵抗滿天的鬥爭
能一起看翻天覆海享受氣氛
能一起聽飄風急雨 相伴鬥智中進軍
亂世裡相隨 圍城內偷生
無懼怕 紅牆和綠瓦淪陷 相托並行 不要下沉

Personal Note: Bobby has lost even more weight! Prefer Esther's ancient look. Looking forward to this golden couple collaborating again! :D

Mandy's wig is unappealing....

Christine's boy look reminds me of Bernice's boy look in "Virtues of Harmony", while her sassy princess role sounds like an Aimee role.... o_O

"Luan Shi Jia Ren" Sub Song


"Heart Dream" - Sammul Chan & Tiffany Tang

心夢 《亂世佳人》 插曲 - 陳鍵鋒/唐嫣

心在夢裡 人在心裡 剪不斷理還亂的糾纏自己
另一個我 另一個你 早在彼此過往凌亂曾經 留下印記
總有些許迷茫徘徊的時間 愛給彼此心裡畫一個圈
滄桑過後 才會偶然間發現 愛與背叛沒有誰能勝算
人在心裡 心在夢裡 再大的傷也無法阻止那場雨
迷失的我 沉醉的你 愛過的記憶誰都難以抹去
迷失的我 沉醉的你 愛過的記憶誰都難以抹去

Personal Note: Really enjoyed watching this programme because the male artistes were more relaxed when being interviewed by Chi San.

Ha ha.... Francis thinks that Ma Ming's funny! :P

Moses slurring his lines...guess Anthony watched "Master of Play"! :P

Louis didn't directly say why he went into singing back then, but it was evident that he was pushed into it because his popularity surged at that time.

He he.... When asked whom he would like to see get interviewed for the female counterpart of this programme, Nick said Esther first! ;) Richie chose female artistes he previously collaborated with: Sammi, Miriam, Cecilia, Shu Qi, and Kelly! Kelly would be more suitable for a programme about singers though! :) Sammi, Miriam, Carina, and Shu Qi are already confirmed...looking forward to it!

Claire Yiu and Tavia Yeung's Conversation on Weibo

Lam Family

Claire Yiu: "Today, my son, Kyros, is 100 days old. Coincidentally, it is me and my husband's sixth-year wedding anniversary! Really have to thank the heavens for giving me such a good family...a husband who dearly loves me and a pair of special and adorable children! As I age, I find that family, relatives, and friends are the most important. Hope that everyone around me is also happy and healthy! The current me is the most happy and the most content because I extremely treasure everything around me!"

Tavia Yeung: "When I saw goddaughter today, she was finally willing to call me godmother...very touched [tear][tear], but the most touching is seeing your family blissful and happy [shy][heart][heart][heart][heart][heart][heart][heart][heart]".

Claire Yiu: "When looking back, found out that your goddaughter took more pictures with you than with me! [angry][frantic][haha]"

Tavia Yeung: "Really? Hohoho! Smart girl...knows how to pick! [hehe][hehe][hehe]"

Claire Yiu: "Yes! You really have fate with little kids! Soon, it'll be your turn to have kids! [haha][secretly laugh][applaud]"

Personal Note: A very nice picture of the Lam family! :D

Aww.... Tavia's heart must have melted when Kyra called her godmother! :)

Eliza Sam Thanks Angela Tong and Chin Ka Lok for Consolation

eliza

Eliza Sam attended a Christmas mall event in a cute short hair look. She expressed that she is currently busy rehearsing performances for the anniversary, laughingly saying that she lacks dancing experience, so has to work hard at practice and cram. As for Christmas, she has nothing planned on how to celebrate, but believes that she would be working through it. When asked about her love rumour with Chin Ka Lok aggravating Angela Tong, Eliza screamed injustice: "I thought that this rumour was over, but then there's more. Actually, I can't control it, but the three of us know that there's nothing. The two of them even consoled me. I think that it is very warming".

Personal Note: Still prefer Eliza in a ponytail! :P

Can't believe that reporters are still writing about Eliza's ridiculous rumours with Ka Lok.... o_O

Nancy Wu attended a promotional event for the new series "The Confidant", and revealed that singing a series sub song for the first time can be considered achieving a small wish. She laughingly hopes that the song could be played a bit more, so she could have a taste at releasing an album. As for a report saying that she and old flame Kenneth Ma having no interactions when filming an anniversary special, Nancy denied and said, "No such thing. We are very happy. Chatted. Are good friends!"

Michelle Yim Supports Tavia Yeung to Win TV Queen

Michelle Yim went to a promotional event for the new series "The Confidant". As for netizens supporting her to win TV queen, Michelle felt excited and laughingly pointed that it would certainly be good if there's an award, but wants to win 'Best Series' the most.

On the other hand, she thinks highly of Kate Tsui, Myolie Wu, and Tavia Yeung. When asked whom she would vote for TV queen with one vote per person, she said, "I will choose Tavia! I support Wayne Lai for TV king because I am a fan of him and Raymond Lam!"

FYI: The first week of "The Confidant" averaged 31 points, and peaked at 35 points.

Personal Note: Nancy's vocals are decent. Hope that she'll have a solo song! Still haven't heard her demo version of "Let It Flow"!
