Fala's enunciation problems are even more evident in the fast track "Want to or Not".

Personal Note: The second skit was more enjoyable than the first one, and the storyline was also close to the original skit from 1985. Mimi and Linda were very funny, especially when Mimi started singing! :P It didn't even show Ma Ming and Linda waving to the audience, as they were supposed to show that they had written their lines on their hands.

沒時間後悔 《怒火街頭II》 主題曲 - 陳奐仁/歐陽靖

作曲: 陳奐仁
填詞: 陳奐仁/歐陽靖

你問我知唔知自己喺度做乜
我淨係知道如果我想做就做得
今時今日仲有邊個講道德
就算第一次唔成功 So What?

為什麼自卑 幹嗎要後梅 Yeah Yeah
就算再多挫折 我都不認失敗

拜託 不是三歲小孩 太多 人想看我受害
幫我 口口聲聲的說 到頭來結果 還是一場空

誰說 我不能自已來 成功 用雙手建起來
掌握 好的機會不多 這是我的秀 又幹嗎不做

為什麼自卑 幹嗎要後梅 Yeah Yeah
就算再多挫折 我都不認失敗
我不會流淚 沒時間後梅 Yeah Yeah
地上再多血跡 我也得站起來

同你講都嘥氣 我真係冇咁得閒
等我好消息 到時你冇得彈
無謂諗得太多嘥時間
就算有困難都向前行
繼續向前行 繼續向前行 繼續向前行
就算有困難都向前行

"Tiger Cubs" Extras Sit for Over Ten Years?

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

Goof in Episode 5

01

Another goof has been discovered in TVB series. This time, the focus has fallen on "Tiger Cubs". Earlier, "Tiger" broadcasted a scene talking about Jessica Hsuan and Oscar Leung, her brother in the series, sitting on stadium bleachers, reminiscing about being determined to become cops when they grow up when they were running in this stadium. Netizens surprisingly discovered that the extras behind the two were sitting there for over ten years!

When Jessica and Oscar were running in the stadium when they were young, she was already sitting in the bleachers. Once the shot changed, the grown-up Jessica and Oscar were chatting on the bleachers, while these extras were still in the same sitting positions on the bleachers...extremely strange! The photos were uploaded by netizens on social websites, attracting hot discussion by netizens, laughingly saying that "Tiger" is actually a horror film, and that these extras are the series' 'ghosts'!

FYI: The eighth episode of "Tiger Cubs" averaged 25 points. The ninth episode averaged 29 points.

Personal Note: Ha ha.... Definitely one of the funniest goofs! :P

If the two people in the back were indeed extras, definitely very careless of TVB, as the two people were not even asked to change into a different set of clothes.... :P

"Sergeant Tabloid" Films Alternate Ending

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVBE Clip

Niki Chow Films Alternate Ending for the First Time

02

Niki Chow, wearing a long-sleeved police uniform, appeared with Macy Chan, Evergreen Mak, and Matthew Ko in Sham Shui Po under the hot sun to re-film a car crash and gunfire scene for "Sergeant Tabloid", which finished filming half a year ago. Niki was sweating on her back, laughingly saying that [she] also never experienced this circumstance before. Luckily, the police uniform still fit her.

Macy Chan Shows Motherly Love When Playing Pregnant Thief

01

Macy Chan appeared at Sham Shui Po to re-film "Sergeant Tabloid". She expressed that she plays a pregnant thief in the series, pulling a gun from her fake belly and accompanying Evergreen Mak in a shoot-out with the police. Macy said that the feeling of having a 'big belly' is peculiar...as if there is a baby inside the stomach...even showing motherly love when walking and removing clothing. [She] also laughingly said that her mother, who wants a grandchild, would definitely like this look.

Personal Note: This alternate ending should only be available in HK's broadcast version.

With the filming of an alternate ending and hints of a sequel, it seems that Nelson Cheung's upcoming series is somehow related to this series, especially because of 「一切從心」....

Macy hasn't filmed series for a long time...nice to see her back!

"Three Kingdoms RPG" Promotional Event 3

TVBE Clip





FYI: The third week of "Three Kingdoms RPG" averaged 34 points, and peaked at 45 points.

Personal Note: Funny how Cheung Wing Hong found out during the filming of this series that his fiancée Angie Mak's onscreen kiss went to Ma Ming! :P Thought it was funny that they mentioned the cheek kiss, as Cheung Wing Hong also kissed Ma Ming on the cheek during the second promo event (which can be seen on the TVB8 coverage). :P

01

Ma Ming was a guest for Miss HK 2005, doing location filming in Sri Lanka with the pageant contestants. On that day, it was Angie's birthday, and Ma Ming gave her a kiss on the cheek after being asked to do so by the other pageant girls.

Nancy and Linda were cute in the interview! Linda most likely was still in character, as she was using English phrases (i.e., oh my god, bad girl) to interrupt Nancy! :P

- 40 episodes long.
- The story will be a continuation of the first installment. In this installment, the name of the airline company is Skylette Airlines (天頌航空).
- There will be location filming in England, France, Taiwan, and Sanya.
- Francis Ng and Julian Cheung will have a mature men's friendship. They are on the same wavelength, and there is also some competition. They will be involved in a love triangle with Fala Chen.
- Francis will play Samuel Tong Yik Sam (唐亦琛), a Captain with a dry and dull lifestyle. After his wife's death, he went to England for two years, where he met Fala, which makes him decide to return to Hong Kong, joining Skylette as a Captain.
- Julian will play Jayden Ku Ha Yeung (顧夏陽), a dashing Captain. He was born in Australia. He is a player who is uninhibited in work and life. Because of his good looks, he is very popular among the opposite sex. The only female he worries about is his younger sister. Before he joined Skylette, he was an Air Force Captain. He has great maneuvering skill, and he frequently competes with Francis, who is also known as a 'God Level Captain'. He is also called 'Captain Cool'.
- Myolie Wu will play two characters: Zoe So Yi (蘇怡) and Summer Ku Ha San (顧夏晨). Zoe has passed away; she will appear for a couple episodes in Francis' memory sequences. The new character, Julian's younger sister (her mother was a mistress), is an aircraft mechanic supervisor. She feels rather inferior and has a cool appearance. She has a boyish personality and is not good at communicating with others. She is trusted and loved by her subordinates because of her excellent skill, and is seen as a 「大老」. Because of some reasons, Julian does not pay attention to her, thereby causing her to have an unsociable personality. She will have a romantic storyline with Ron Ng, but he is slightly resistant to having a relationship with his 'sister-in-law'.
- Fala will play Holiday Ho Nin Hei (何年希), a Second Officer. She was born and raised in England. She does what she wants. She believes that love ranks first in life. Like Francis, she went travelling because of being hurt in love. After meeting Myolie (Zoe), she was given Triangel, and also met Francis afterward. The following year, she went to Hong Kong to take Skylette's aviation courses, hoping to become a pilot. Because of her imperfect personality, she encounters many setbacks. She and Francis are initially an arguing pair, but he later becomes her mentor. Afterward, she will have a romantic storyline with Julian. She, Francis, and Julian cannot let go of the 'shadow lover' in their hearts, thereby causing struggles. She is also called 'Holly'.
- Francis has an attachment to his dead wife. Fala's ex-boyfriend also passed away, and she also has an attachment to her ex-boyfriend. Julian bears a resemblance to Fala's ex-boyfriend.
- Ron will play Issac Tong Yik Fung (唐亦風). He will be promoted to Senior First Officer. He values friendship and family, but he frequently has setbacks in love. Because he idolizes Julian, he imitates him, which causes a rift with his brother. He and Francis have become more like friends, so they get along even more comfortably with each other.
- Kenneth Ma will play Roy Ko Chi Wang (高志宏). He will be promoted to Senior First Officer. After Francis left Solar Airways, he acted as a pilot in Taiwan, hoping to experience a different lifestyle, which changed his personality from being a shy guy to an independent decision-maker. In terms of romance, he is quite popular among females. Afterward, because of good friend Ron's invitation, he returned to Hong Kong and joined Skylette, and his love life continues to be exciting. His romantic storyline will have a sense of the times. He will have an older female and younger male relationship with Elena Kong. He has a 'ready-to-eat' attitude, and he will have one-night stands. He will pursue Skye Chan and Coffee Lam at the same time, but he will choose Elena in the end.
- Nancy Wu will play Coco Ling Cheuk Chi (凌卓芝), a Flight Purser. After her brother passed away from a car accident, she went from being a sassy princess to an independent decision-maker, and her relationship with Francis and Ron became like that of family. She had a boyfriend who was at the stage of discussing marriage; however, due to caring for a friend, she neglected her other half. To help her friend (whose husband has a terminal illness), she became a surrogate mother, but did not attain the understanding of her longtime boyfriend, so they broke up. After she became a surrogate mother, her friend and her friend's husband suddenly died in a car accident. At Skylette, she reunites with Him Law, who had a crush on her in primary school; their relationship is like that of an arguing pair. She and Him end up together, and they have a wedding in France.
- Him will play Chim Chi Lun (詹子麟), a Second Officer. He is rather well-mannered and slightly shy. He is a former Hong Kong's Swimming representative, creating many Hong Kong records, and he is also a favourite of sponsors. Since young, he has grown up in the midst of everyone's praises; however, he is actually shy on the inside. After retirement, he became a pilot. At Skylette, he encounters Nancy again, surprisingly discovering that the goddess he had a crush on is no longer attractive. He will have a romantic storyline with Nancy and Rebecca Zhu. He is also called 'Jim Jim'.
- Elena will play Heather Fong Bing Ka (方苪嘉), a Senior Purser. In terms of work, she always handles matters gracefully. In terms of romance, she has a courageous pursuit, never caring about any moral or immoral standards. She and Patrick Dunn are the aviation industry's married couple, and are at the envy of others. Whether it is in her career or love life, she has a courageous pursuing personality, which leads to her facing great decisions in her life. She is also called 「Head姐」.
- Toby Leung will play Tung Oi Ping (童愛蘋), an airport staff member. She is Francis' goddaughter. She and Stefan Wong will play a pair.
- Rebecca will play Wu Ping (胡娉), a flight attendant. She has a rather lively personality and is slightly sassy. She is also called 'Pink Pink'.

- Patrick will play Tony Ching Yat Tung (程日東), a Captain. He is cheerful and gentlemanly. He is a good guy who is not only popular among the opposite sex but would also not be pushed to the side by the same sex. After experiencing romantic setbacks, he and Elena get married.

Vicente Brings Up TVB's Ratings: New Peak of 42 Points for "Three Kingdoms RPG"

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

01

Typhoon 'Vicente' struck Hong Kong yesterday. At 5pm, there was already a Typhoon 8. Everyone got off work early to rush home, causing all of TVB's prime time slot ratings to increase. "Come Home Love" and "Three Kingdoms RPG" achieved new peaks since their broadcast. However, because the typhoon interrupted the towers' electric power supply, many districts in the New Territories were affected...not being able to receive TVB; the ratings of "Witness Insecurity" were also affected.

At 7:30pm, "Scoop" averaged 34 points (2,180,000 viewers). In the past, "Come" has averaged around twenty-something points; however, on the night of the typhoon, the average reached 38 points (2,430,000 viewers). "Three" reached 42 points (2,690,000 viewers), which is a new ratings peak for the series since its broadcast. "Witness", which has always had high ratings, averaged 37 points (2,370,000 viewers). As for "TV Funny", which premiered the night before, averaged 32 points (2,050,000 viewers).

"Witness Insecurity" Does Not Benefit

TVB's Assistant Director of Foreign Affairs Tsang Sing Ming said that, because of the typhoon, the two towers in Castle Peak and Cloudy Hill had an interruption in the electric power supply; thus, some of the viewers in the New Territories' Northern and Western districts were affected. It was not until yesterday's 2pm that broadcasting was back to normal. Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai, Ma On Shan, Fanling, Sheung Shui, and other districts had television viewer complaints. TVB received many viewer complaints about not being able to watch "Witness". It is believed that the electric power interruption began affecting the reception at 9pm the night before; thus, the typhoon night's ratings increase was not as high as other programmes.

Personal Note: A coincidence that Typhoon Vicente struck HK when Ma Ming's character mentioned the 'Vincent Effect' on episode 11 of "Three Kingdoms RPG"....

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

01

Yesterday, Jessica Hsuan was a guest on a radio show. Regarding the good ratings for series "Tiger Cubs", she frankly expressed being initially worried about viewers going out on Saturdays and Sundays affecting ratings. Freelancer Jessica revealed that TVB had previously contacted her about filming a "Tiger" sequel: "Discussed very preliminarily. Haven't discussed the pay. Everything is not confirmed. Would not necessarily be the original crew".

Turned Down Ricky Wong's Travel Programme

Jessica expressed that Ricky Wong had invited her to film a travel programme: "He contacted me about going to Vanuatu's active volcanoes to film a programme, saying that it would be different from the one that Ekin Cheng previously filmed for TVB...rather nerve-wracking and exciting". However, Jessica used 'being afraid of dying' as the reason for turning it down: "If younger 20 years, I would go". Jessica expressed having discussed series as well, but also playing a policewoman role. She hopes to be able to play a unique role if it were her first performance.

FYI: The sixth episode of "Tiger Cubs" averaged 26 points. The seventh episode averaged 31 points.

Personal Note: If a sequel were to be filmed, would definitely want to see the original cast, but it doesn't seem likely.

Kenneth Ma Brushes Teeth with Shrimp Paste: Difficult to Tolerate Bad Smell

Artistes Kenneth Ma, Samantha Ko, Sammy Leung, Fala Chen, etc. did a recording for the programme "Neighborhood Treasures". Because Kenneth lost the game, he was punished to use shrimp paste to brush his teeth; in the end, he couldn't take it, yelling that it smelled very badly, and revealed that Sammy was partial to pretty girls Samantha and Fala...only punished him.

Samantha Ko and Fala Chen Forbid Young Models from Going to Book Fair

Fala Chen did a recording for "Neighborhood Treasures". With regard to Kenneth saying that Sammy Leung was biased in helping pretty girls, [she] disagreed, "I even wrongly called them Sam Yee Siu Mei...why would he favour me?" On the other hand, Samantha Ko expressed having originally inviting Sammy to write a foreword for her new book, but was rejected, so do not think that Sammy would be biased: "Instead, Fala wrote one for me". Both the pretty girls expressed that the young models now are a bad influence on children...should disappear from the book fair.

Personal Note: Wouldn't be surprised if Sammy showed bias, as he has done so in the past. :P

Ha ha.... Fala did a crossover of Sammy and Kitty's names! :P

After 'Mainland Breast Goddess' Viann Zhang announced the breakup first, Ron Ng attended the Guangzhou health brand Xing Jian Tang awards ceremony last night. The MC suggested for him to bring some coffee for his girlfriend to drink; he immediately became awkward, later saying, "There will be a day when [I] have a girlfriend! Now, work comes first!" [He] also expressed that [he] knows how to handle love matters...no need to take time off, and also do not need consoling.

Ron expressed that [his] work schedule is packed. When asked whether [he] would take the opportunity to buy real estate to move away from the rented building where he and Viann secretly met because of ample income, he seemed to hint, "Will plan. Now, housing prices are high. Finish filming 'Triumph in the Skies II' first!"

Personal Note: It seems that Ron is handling the situation well.

馬德鐘論盡四大花旦

--------------------

August 29, 2012
馬德鐘:阿佘點攰都唔殘

馬德鐘曾被指桃花旺盛,的確他入行至今總是緋聞不絕,幾乎合作過的女星都無一幸免。當然時間可證明一切,很多所謂的緋聞女友其實是他好友。由他論盡她們,當然最為貼切!

好多人都話我有個花名叫「花旦殺手」,其實陳豪都有呢個名o架!哈哈!講真,喺呢行只有兩樣嘢傳,一就係緋聞,二就係不和,咁我就好少同人傳不和嘅,咁咪傳緋聞囉!

蔡少芬善解人意

我 合作過嘅女演員都好多,例如有張可頤、宣萱、蔡少芬、佘詩曼、郭羨妮、陳慧珊等。講吓蔡少芬,佢係一個好好嘅學習對象,因為佢對人真係好好,令到身邊嘅人 好舒服,因為我自己本身係巨蟹座同埋做過警察,所以防衞性好高,所以呢行都冇乜朋友,係佢令我覺得其實都可以放開自己。

我仲記得有一次開早返廠拍劇,嗰時我住喺元朗,但唔知醒,當時我同佢拍緊劇,咁我咪即刻打畀佢,話自己唔知醒,依家飛車入嚟,蔡少芬聽到即刻話:「你千祈唔好飛車,我慢慢化妝拖住先。」臨收線仲問我食咗早餐未,佢就係一個咁好嘅人!

至 於阿佘,我同佢都拍過好幾套劇,第一套應該係2001年嘅《酒是故鄉醇》。啲人話佢成日放電電人,我自己同佢相處淨係覺得一樣嘢,佢好犀利,佢係唯一一個 我見過捱更抵夜、日夜顛倒但個樣係冇變冇殘嘅女演員!有時連續拍通宵,佢話好眼瞓,但佢個樣真係好精神,我諗佢應該係天生麗質,哈哈!

仲有阿佘嘅EQ係非常之高,脾氣好好,有時佢聽到啲唔係咁好嘅說話只會笑一笑,聽完就算,你唔會見到佢嬲,呢個係佢畀我一個好深刻嘅印象。而郭羨妮就係一個好吃得苦頭嘅人,嗰陣我哋喺內地拍劇幾個月,上面環境好辛苦,但佢一啲怨言都冇,性格相當硬朗。

視陳慧珊做前輩

拍 《衝上雲霄》做我老婆嘅陳慧珊,其實嚴格嚟講係我前輩。嗰陣時佢已經好紅,佢都有教我好多嘢。我記得拍《衝》劇第一場戲都幾親熱,佢話唔使介意,就將隻手 搭過嚟,咁我就放心。其實有時候拍親熱戲,男演員仲唔自然過女演員,始終男仔怕被人誤會,好似佢咁放,就會令你拍得好放心。

Tavia Yeung Would Instantly Accept Couple Partnership with Kenneth Ma to Make Money

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

01020405

Following "The Hippocratic Crush", Tavia Yeung and Kenneth Ma are also a couple partnership in the currently airing new series "Three Kingdoms RPG"...absolutely no problem in terms of chemistry, and also quite well-received by viewers.

As for the couple partnership image being well-liked but the two not collaborating much to make money, Tavia said, "The truth is that the company cannot arrange a schedule. I have to work every day...also want to make additional income as a couple partnership". [Reporters] laughed that the fee would be higher having her and Him Law on the same stage? Tavia laughingly said, "No relation. As long as there is a guy coming out together, the fee would definitely be higher. Certainly, Kenneth would also be good, and Him would also be good...to be able to make money is the most practical. Would not turn something down because of being afriaid of Him's rumours...would definitely instantly accept".

Soon after, Tavia changed the topic to Kenneth, revealing that he has been actively looking for a wife, but actually talking about his own vehicle. Kenneth said, "Not really active. Looking for a seven-passenger vehicle...want to make it convenient to go out with family on Sundays".

Praises Kenneth Ma as Being Best Husband Candidate

When talking about singing love songs to Tavia in the series, Kenneth laughingly said that he would sing a few songs, but never sang love songs for girlfriend in real life. Although personality is boring and not romantic, Tavia helped by saying, "Kenneth's personality is all talk and no action. I quite understand him. Sometimes very considerate. May be very boring when together. Usually just plays ball or accompanies his mom to drink tea, but this is the best candidate for a husband".

Making Money Is Priority for Tavia Yeung, Willing to Partner Him Law Again

Kenneth Ma and Tavia accepted an interview together earlier to promote "Three Kingdoms RPG". The two have a romantic storyline in the series, but Tavia complained about Kenneth's character being fickle (in love affairs), not even liking her in the end. Kenneth also admitted that his character this time does not attend to his proper duties, has no financial ability, and is not familiar with history, and laughingly said, "Modern people are also fickle". As for "Three" broadcasting during the summer holidays being a 'cannon fodder time slot', Tavia laughingly said that Raymond Lam has a part, so it wouldn't be 'cannon fodder', and laughingly said, "Count on him".

Following "The Hippocratic Crush", this time, Tavia and Kenneth are portraying a couple again. When asked whether they thought about making money as a couple partnership, Tavia frankly said, "Also want to make some additional income, but have been busy filming series recently. Also not that many people looking for me and Kenneth as a partnership". Reporters laughed about her having Him Law? Tavia laughingly said that it would be okay whether it is partnering with Him or Kenneth; as long as there is money to be made, then it would be the best. She would not not work with Him because of rumours.

Kenneth also mentioned romantic matters. He frankly said that making money would be his first priority now...will look for a girlfriend later. Unexpectedly, Tavia revealed that Kenneth is actually looking for a wife. Kenneth said that he has already been very active, but will leave it up to fate. Tavia also took the opportunity to praise Kenneth as being a considerate person and is a good husband candidate, but Kenneth helplessly said, "However, in this industry, many people are looking for a boyfriend...not looking for a husband". Does Tavia want to look for a husband or a boyfriend? She immediately laughingly said, "I want to look for money".

Sima Sun Sings Modern Songs

In the ninth episode of "Three Kingdoms RPG", Sima Sun sings 《為你鍾情 》, 《分分鐘需要你》, 《朋友》, 《每天愛你多一些》, 《Smoke Gets in Your Eyes》, and 《You Are Always on My Mind》.



Personal Note: Ha ha.... Thought that Sima Sun would sing more current songs.... :P

Laughed at the part where Song Yau told Sima Sun to guess riddles, but he refused to and said that four-character idioms are 不知所謂, which is a four-character idiom. :P

Also laughed when Sima Sun was sincerely praying for his wish to come true! :D

Julian Cheung Filming "Triumph in the Skies II" for Tommy Leung

Julian Cheung, Kenneth Ma, etc. attended a press conference for "Triumph in the Skies II". Julian expressed accepting to film because of Tommy Leung this time: "Touched by a good friend's sincerity. Make much less to film for half a year. (Lose money instead of being paid?) Well, no. All in all, filming for him!" Julian will also use his own six-figure sum, developing a romantic storyline with Fala Chen. On the other hand, Kenneth, who was in the first installment, will be promoted to First Officer this time, developing an older female and younger male relationship with Elena Kong. He also expressed acceptance: "Okay in real life. Can be older or younger 20 years, but never tried it before".

Francis Ng Filming Series Again Ten Years Later, Afraid of Being Late

Francis Ng attended a press conference for "Triumph in the Skies". TVB has been said to lack people, needing him to return to help, he said, "They have many siu sangs already! Haven't filmed series in ten years. Filming again now...must adjust. (Afraid of someone not being on time?) I'm afraid for myself! When filming back then, made an agreement to be late or request for a vacation, but Myolie was not willing to do it". On the other hand, TV queen Myolie Wu will be playing two characters. The producer has requested for her to cut her hair short to complement the character, but she has perturbed feelings toward this: "Have been growing it out for a long time...don't want to cut it. Will discuss with the producer again".

FYI: The blessing ceremony will be held on July 24th. Filming will begin on July 26th.

Personal Note: He he.... Francis teased Myolie about being chubbier than before, and said that Ron arrived early at the press conference! :P

With Chi Lam's good look, makes sense for him to play a character who is constantly surrounded by females, but don't know why he didn't shave or gel his hair, even though he has already finished filming his Mainland movie where plays an uncle....

Looking forward to Elena's pairing with Ma Ming! :D
