When Kenneth Ma attended a celebration dinner for the anniversary gala, he, who was chosen by artistes as 'TV King', called on his colleagues to be united. He said, "Like Moses [Chan] said, the more people stay, the more time we have to go outside to make money. There would be enough manpower, and the quality of TVB programmes would also increase".

想一天《My盛Lady》插曲 - 陳敏之

作曲/監製: 鄧智偉
填詞: 黃厚霖
編曲: 葉澍暉

望著你呼吸輕輕的加快了　脈搏也會缺少
做密友只可天天開心笑笑　沒法變最重要
但抱歉我那次人實在亂了　做錯了更改不了
令到你對我誤會大了　內疚了可知曉

*hoo....　想一天張開雙眼床前問句好
hoo....　想一天分針倒退從頭再遇到

沒法似最初的無謂事盡訴　便替你祝福禱告
望見你今天願望達到　會暗裡說聲好

Repeat *

hoo...　想一天拋開一切隨時待你好
hoo...　想一天簡單跟你無聊跳著舞

從頭再遇到　隨時跳著舞
Darling I miss you
Darling I love you

Kenneth Ma Getting Old: Not in the Mood to Date

Ming Pao Clip

Letv Clip

GZTV Clip

When Kenneth Ma attended an event, he played games with fans and sang, granting whatever was asked and making everyone happy. He helped a female fan put on a blindfold and fed her, making the fan blush. There was also a female fan who kissed his arm after bandaging him up, making other fans jealous.

Kenneth revealed having a lot of jobs during the Christmas holiday. When asked whether he wanted to have a lover to spend the holiday with, he laughingly said, "Getting old...already passed the age of wanting to date. The most important is to live in the moment". Regarding TVB boycotting Next Media, Kenneth hopes that the matter quickly subsides because the relationship between artistes and the media is as close as lips and teeth.

Eliza Sam Worried About Speaking English While Filming Ancient Series

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

Artiste Eliza Sam attended a promotional event in a one-shoulder white dress. Becoming popular because of her pure sweetness, she revealed that she is currently busy filming an ancient series. Because it is her first time filming an ancient series, she feels nervous: "Because have to handle many new characters and sayings. Also afraid of accidentally speaking English, such as 「我call你」, etc."

'Western Girl' Eliza frequently creates a lot of laughs because of translation problems. She revealed that she almost swore, creating an NG, while filming series: "I was very impolite earlier. There was a scene where I almost said 「你老X」. Luckily, I already stopped when I said the second word. Already practiced saying the line 50 times, but still NG-ed in the end".

In addition, when she, who is labelled 'Goddess', was asked whether she would be spending Christmas with her rumoured boyfriends, she coquettishly expressed that she does not have a rumoured boyfriend. This year, she will be happily celebrating Christmas with her mother, who is returning to Hong Kong.

Personal Note: In the Ming Pao article, Eliza said that she was supposed to say 「你母親」.

Kenneth Ma Swears to Not Have 'O' Expression Again at Anniversary Awards

Kenneth Ma went to Tsim Sha Tsui, where a parade took place, to promote the series "The Hippocratic Crush II". Regarding his 'O' expression appearing again when he received 'TV King in the Eyes of Artistes' at the anniversary, even getting leaves placed into his mouth by netizens for fun, Kenneth graciously said, "Just for fun. That night, did not think that there was this item (peer voting), and also did not know what to say when receiving the award. (Also keeping the 'O' expression when it is the official awards presentation?) I swear that it will not happen again on that night. (Preparing a winning speech?) Don't have to specially prepare. Just speak from the heart...would say whatever comes to mind". Regarding viewers saying that his screen time in "Hippocratic" is too little, he laughingly said, "There will be more later. Hope that viewers keep liking the two characters 'Yat Kin Tau' and 'Siu Yue'".

Personal Note: Raymond was originally supposed to do that acrobatic dance performance, but had to pull out of that part due to appendicitis; then Ma Ming became responsible for spinning in that apparatus. However, as mentioned by Dodo on 《口水多過浪花》, Ma Ming injured his waist while practicing, so Virginia Lok found Chin Ka Lok to do it at the last minute.

Lights Up - 方大同

作曲/填詞: 方大同/Fergus Chow

Wutcha be like
It's a good life
In the limelight
With your heart of gold
I could tell you bout it
Make you doubt it or we could try　Release your mind and your soul

Wutcha feel like
Catchin' spotlights
In the crowd life
Put ya on a show
You be thinking bout it
Cause you can't let it go
Oh baby

*If ever you can't fight the feeling
When the music is right　You'll always be true
So stay close to me　I can show you girl
Bout all of the things we can do

I got what you want
I got what you need
Just come out and see my world

Girl we gotta go
Girl we gotta leave

Turn the lights up
Put your shoes on
Get your groove on
Ain't nobody stopping us now
Before the night's up
Put your suit on
Get your move on
Get on the floor*

#I said...
Lights up
No other place I'd rather be
Lights up
Get away for a while girl
Lights up
Leave your worries and fly away

Be the one who
You could run to
Bout all the things that
Are out of your control
I could tell you bout it
But you already know

Repeat *#

Follow your way to the stars
Don't be afraid I'll be right where you are
We can go on like this forever　And though we're far apart
I don't care what the others say
We'll share another day, baby
I'm here to stay
Show me the way to your heart

Show me the way　Show me the way　Show me the way to your heart
Show me the way　Show me the way　Show me the way to your heart

Julian Cheung: Actors Cannot Control the Creation of the Script

Julian Cheung held an autograph session for his new album, attracting over a hundred fans. Julian not only played games with fans, but also sang two songs. When mentioning the album sales, Julian expressed that it sold out early on. Since the new album is a limited edition with only 3,999 copies, not able to make additional copies to satisfy the fans' needs. He revealed that he currently preparing his next album, hoping for it to release early next year.

When mentioning that there was a flight attendant who pointed out that Julian's starring series, "Triumph in the Skies II', not being in sync with reality, he said, "We, as actors, can only control our own performance...cannot control the creation of the script. As long as we do our part, it's enough, but cannot be tarred with the same brush. There would definitely be some pilots and flight attendants who are friends".

Gives Pet to Morton for Seventh Birthday

Regarding his son, Morton, having his seventh birthday earlier, what did he give as a birthday present? He said, "I promised him before that I would buy a pet for him on his seventh birthday, so now, my home has a new member. Hoped that my son would have a big heart, and would be able to take care of little pets, but I ended up having to take care to it". Julian said that he has not had a dog for a long time. Because know that dogs' life expectancies are rather short, avoid becoming sad when they leave.

Personal Note: Still waiting for my copy...can't wait for Chi Lam's new album next year! :)

Kenneth Ma Scratches $330,000 Car When Pulling Tablecloth

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

J2 Clip

Pearl Clip

Artiste Kenneth Ma attended an event to show off TVB's anniversary prizes. The greedy Kenneth expressed that he wanted to win everything, but said that, since young, he has not had luck with draws: "I have used my own car for five years...the flat is already 20-plus years. Hope to change my luck at this year's anniversary...win a car or a flat!"

At the event, Kenneth and Myolie were competing in pulling tablecloths. Kenneth, who did not practice at all, expressed not being afraid: "Luckily, the competitor is Myolie. Myolie doesn't have to work. I am a working class guy. Tell Myolie to give it to me!" Afterward, Kenneth worked hard. During this, he accidentally made a fork that was on the table fly onto the prize car, slightly scratching the car, so the other artistes immediately told him to compensate. Kenneth immediately said that he was poor: "I am very poor. Have to make more money. If not, how would I be able to get married in the future? (Already have a partner?) Not yet, but I have to save up. Although I would like a simple wedding, would have to see what my partner would want!"

"The Hippocratic Crush" Said to Have Errors, Kenneth Ma: Not a Documentary

Regarding TVB series being criticized by professionals as having many errors, Kenneth said, "When filming 'The Hippocratic Crush', asked the opinions of a few different doctors. If a certain doctor feels that the treatment is not that way, it is very normal. It also makes sense for everyone to have his or her own stance. Regarding it being said that pilots are not as promiscuous as 'Triumph in the Skies II', in the end, it is filming series. If it is too realistic, it would become a documentary, and it would not be interesting...then, everyone would really turn off their TV".

Personal Note: Ma Ming is so hilarious! :P Is that car fated to be his? Best of luck to Ma Ming at the anniversary gala! :D

Ruco attended an event the next day, and he said that he did not recall the fork having touched the car. However, I saw some news pictures, and there was definitely a fork on the car, as well as a slight scratch on it.

Artiste Joey Meng attended a pre-anniversary event, competing with Wayne Lai in a balloon popping game. In the end, Joey won $10,000 in cash, and said that she would share the prize money with the artistes who supported her to win. Before, Joey was already full of confidence before the game, and laughingly said that she would try her best: "Because I am very afraid of things that will pop. (The thing you care the most for is money?) I only found out today that the game was played like this. Don't say it like that. People who know me know that I value relationships". Joey said that she does not know which anniversary segment she would be taking part in. When asked whether she would be dressing sexily to push ratings, she laughingly said, "Will not...don't even think of it. (You are very playful?) Okay...I am an active person".

Personal Note: Congratulations to Joey for winning the $10,000 draw! :)

Personal Note: This series will probably be similar to D.I.E., since it is also an investigative comedy, and is also done by the same producer.

Looking forward to Mimi Jeh's romantic storyline! :P

East Movie Report Clip

On the 9th, the stars of "The Hippocratic Crush II", Tavia Yeung, Kenneth Ma, and Mandy Wong, attended a fan meeting in Shanghai, where they gave out signed pictures and posters, and took pictures with fans.

FYI: The first week of "The Hippocratic Crush II" averaged 26 points (approximately 1,670,000 viewers), and peaked at 30 points (approximately 1,930,000 viewers).

Personal Note: The hand moulding scene was very sweet, but then it was sad seeing Yue Jai tell Yat Kin about her decision. Tavia and Ma Ming executed the emotions well, and showing Siu Jeh crying outside the door made the scene even more heart-wrenching.
