CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVB originally scheduled to release the new series "Chinatown", which stars Ruco Chan, Joel Chan, and Elaine Yiu, starting on September 21st. The promotional clip had also already been released [last night], but TVB suddenly changed its plans [today], airing "Go! Go! Go! Operation C9", which stars Samantha Ko and Kenneth Ma, instead.

Regarding this change, TVB said that changes are very common and happen from time to time. This time's arrangement is to mainly coordinate with a global simulcast. TVB previously released several series starring Samantha, including "Death by Zero", "On-Lie Game", and "Al Cappuccino", which is still airing. Together with "Go!", she already has four series airing consecutively.

Playing Different Roles to Broaden Acting Spectrum

Regarding the changes in the programming schedule, Samantha expressed in an interview [today] that she has not received an official notice from the company. Speaking of four series airing consecutively, seeming to be promoted, she said, "If it is true, then certainly very happy. Also letting the company arrange everything! Very grateful to have so many works for the viewers see this year. The hard work in filming series these few years was not in vain. Also fortunate that all of them are characters with different personalities. It is a good opportunity. Letting everyone see that I can interpret different characters. Don't want to be typecast so quickly. Want to explore even more possibilities!" As for the male lead, Kenneth, he expressed in an interview, "Also letting the company arrange it. Hope that the viewers like our small production-type series".

Ruco Chan Emphasizes That He Has Not Retired

Regarding "Chinatown" having to simulcast globally, thereby changing its broadcast schedule, the male lead, Ruco, laughingly said in an interview, "I have not had a series air in a year-plus to two years. Have not met with the family audience in a long time. Will everyone think that I have retired? Actually, I am an active individual. Have recently been doing music, and also preparing to start another series". He also expressed that he already hasn't played with his daughter, Quinta, in a long time. After completing the filming of "Super Emissary", will mend the father-daughter relationship as soon as possible!
