Synopsis: Between father and son, is blood relation or familial affection important?

'Ching Kin' (程堅) is the owner of a frozen meat shop. Because of his wife's untimely death, he took on the roles as father and mother raising his son and daughter. His son, 'Tin Yu' (天雨), won a culinary competition and has a bright future, while his daughter, 'Yeuk Sam' (若心), is studying medicine at a university and is about to become a specialist doctor. The company of his children is the most blissful thing in 'Kin''s life. Unexpectedly, 'Kin' discovers in the diary of his late wife that 'Yu' is not his biological son. At the same time, 'Yu' is kidnapped by gangsters in order to save 'Kiu Cheuk Ting' (喬卓霆), the third generation of a food and beverage company. Although there are no blood relations, 'Kin' still tries his best to rescue 'Yu' and 'Ting', and the two families have forged an unbreakable bond since then.

'Yu' joins the food and beverage company run by 'Ting''s mother, 'Kiu Sing Mei' (喬勝美), and becomes friends with 'Ting'. At first, 'Kin' thinks that 'Mei' is vicious and merciless, and is afraid of her; however, after being in contact with her, he discovers that, behind the strong woman, there are difficulties that are against her will. However, 'Kin' discovers that 'Yu''s biological father is 'Mei''s husband, 'Ngai Hok Kai' (倪學啟), and their relationship undergoes great changes......

'Kai' sends 'Yu' to prison for his own benefit and 'Ting''s freedom. 'Kin' hopes to save 'Yu', who is falling into depravity. With 'Sam''s support, he moves 'Yu' with his fatherly love and rekindles 'Yu''s dream of being a chef. The father and son team up to run a two-dish-rice shop, and it has become a well-known bistro due to its attentive production. However, 'Kiu''s family unexpectedly opens a restaurant across the bistro. 'Mei' even gets pulled down by her husband, losing control of the company. Is all of this intentional or a coincidence? How can the few people who are bound by blood relation and familial affection untangle the inextricable entanglements?

Kenneth Ma Supports Ex Jacqueline Wong's Song Release: "She Can Do Whatever She Likes to Do"

The new series "The Invisibles", starring Kenneth Ma, Joel Chan, Elena Kong, Moon Lau, Tiffany Lau, et al., held a promotional event in Tsuen Wan today. Natalie Tong, who has already left the company, also attended to accommodate the promotion. Since the series' Joel, Elena, and Moon have all been promoted to TV king and TV queens, along with Kenneth, Natalie, and Ruco Chan, the new series has gathered six major TV kings and TV queens to perform. The series will air after "Treasure of Destiny".

All the artistes on scene appeared with heavy gun props, and then did multiplayer exercises. Joel did squats while carrying Tiffany, and easily passed. There was a mishap when Jazz carried Moon in his arms. Although Jazz has muscular arms, it seemed strenuous for him when he was carrying Moon. After doing a few squats, he could barely stand and sat on the stage. Then it was changed to the slim Natalie; Jazz redeemed himself and put her on his shoulders, but Natalie got scared from being lifted, turning pale and screaming. Afterward, Kenneth had to carry Natalie, teasing Moon for being heavy: "Luckily not carrying Moon".

This is the fifth time that Kenneth and Natalie are acting as a couple. Natalie laughingly said that, every time they are a couple, there is no happy ending...hope that there is an exception this time: "This is my last series in TVB; hope there's a happy ending. (Not willing to part?) Am very excited. Like filming gunfire scenes; it is an achievement unlocked. Everyone's look is also very cool. As the last series, it's extremely perfect".

Regarding Producer Man Wai Hung's description of Kenneth as a cool guy who has been wasted on silly characters, Kenneth laughingly said that he is the only one who has discovered this side of him. When it was mentioned that he does not blink when he fires a gun, he explained that it was due to his slowness, only blinking a few seconds later. However, he will not request to always walk the cool guy route in the future. He said, "It's boring to be cool in every series! It's also very fun to be awful...see if there's a chance. (Not willing to part with Natalie?) After collaborating for so many years, partners are becoming fewer and fewer. Hope that she comes back to film!" After hearing Kenneth tell her to stay, Natalie also expressed that it depends on the role. If it's the sixth time being a couple, it's also fine...think that having good chemistry and trust in him is very hard to come by.

Mentioning that Jacqueline Wong has released a dance song, Kenneth expressed knowing about it but has not had the opportunity to listen to it. However, he said in support of his ex, "Add oil. Work hard. Good luck". Regarding Jacqueline's choice to release a song instead of making a series comeback, he said, "Every one can do what he or she likes to do. Many people have said it: everyone should start anew. She can do whatever she likes to do. The most important thing is to be happy".

In addition, Natalie took her father to Japan for a trip earlier, and she plans on taking her father to different places, such as Taiwan, for leisure. She said that she was previously busy with work and missed making memories with her father...hope to catch up to make up for it. As for her scriptwriting, it has always been underway. She said that she enjoys the slow pace, the slow lifestyle, and enjoying life.

作曲: 徐洛鏘

酷熱像赤道 滴著汗水渾忘熱度
地上並沒記號 身影走在路途
#全為了效勞

自願是沒退路 自願蹈火碾平道路
一早超出任務 毫無猶豫便縱身

當重圍前無力耗 仍然無懼劫數#
昂然抵擋猛獸地牢
我會撐到
*憑血與愛去保存城堡

隱藏的一團火擊不倒 保衛自己領土
若不仁的不義的推不倒 拚命亦與它對賭
腳下是懸崖吧萬呎高 從未怕輸也從不畏高
閉著眼是我無悔的程度* 只需要驕傲

踏著是每步 內在熱火傳承熱度
用熱及淚鑄造 千斤頂在路途

用 人力衝出半截血路
能與你撐到

下雨天 總掛念從前
球場上那可愛片段
突然又已一年 祈望再會面
舊朋友 就算心永未遙遠
但這刻渴望見 即使重聚再短

時光可變 世界可變
人情亦許多都變遷
友共情不變 那種真找不到缺點
你我再次相見 隨年和月身心雖秏損
友共情從難扭轉 心內那熱暖
仍是純真未變

"I'm So Lonely" - Windy Zhan

原來寂寞得多 《新四十二章》 片尾曲 - 詹天文

作曲: 曹朗
填詞: 楊熙
編曲: Johnny Yim
監製: 劉易昇

風起時不需陪我
天黑時未曾怯懦
無論再大場面也不會難倒我 習慣一個人需要無多

*原來寂寞得多
忘掉原來坎坷
從前都擁有過但花開不到結果
但你那麼好
真的不可找到一個 (剛好有你才捱過)
無人准我 也阻不到
我撲火

崩潰時剛好陪我
於身旁便停止風浪
從未暗地期望你不會離開我
留了一隻門等你來訪

Repeat (*)

如沒她出現 如你都一個人
如上天許可

為何幸運不多
緣份埋藏坎坷
明明都擁抱過但注定並無希望
但你那麼好
不可愛你才難過
幾多苦 我也可

Selena Lee Returning to TVB to Have an Acting Battle with Charmaine Sheh

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

Charmaine Sheh, Samantha Ko, Regina Ho, and Kenneth Ma were already confirmed earlier to film the new TVB series "The QUEEN of News" produced by Chung Shu Kai in March. Korean dramas and US dramas often use news anchors as its theme, but TVB has never filmed this series genre. The shooting period of this series is expected to be about half a year. This time, Chung Shu Kai is personally shooting it, and has invited Charmaine to return to her mother company to film the series. The production of this series is quite strict. Apart from being a customized series in collaboration with Mainland, the shoot will also follow the Mainland format. The script, [script] reading, styling, etc. are meticulous, and the series crew will be looking for a movie team to assist in the cinematography, art, and lighting.

Producer Chung Shu Kai revealed the character setup in an interview the other day. Apart from Selena Lee joining the series, TV king Shaun Tam even has a romantic storyline with Charmaine and is a key figure in [her] life. It is known that some important roles are still looking for suitable actors, and the news cases in the series will be looking for many actors to act them out. Chung Shu Kai pointed out that the series is full of 'mean girls'. The story takes place in a news corporation. Everyone becomes a villain for a power struggle. The main story begins with lead Charmaine having to leave her anchor position.

Change in Immune System Index

The female characters in the series are anchors from different news reporting times. Charmaine is the top female anchor during prime time, and the male anchor partnering her is Kenneth. The noon anchor is Selena, while Samantha and Regina are the morning and evening anchors respectively. With Charmaine's departure, everyone hopes to strive for the 'Prime Time Female Anchor' position. The anchors each have their own ulterior motives and resort to workplace means to fight for power!

Each character setup has its own attractiveness. Samantha is Kenneth's disciple. She has a cheerful personality, is clever, and is a lovable bombshell. Her styling is pretty and captivating. Kenneth wants to nurture her to become Charmaine's successor. As for Selena playing Kenneth's ex-girlfriend, she has an upright and tough personality and is full of enthusiam for work. She is originally quite upright, but only later are her true colours revealed. Selena has not filmed for TVB since she finished filming "Barrack O'Karma 1968". Last year, due to issues with her immune system, she halted work for a while to recuperate. She revealed in an interview, "Last September, [I] was working as a producer for 'Tape', and there was a change in the immune system index. That month, the pressure and workload were too much, and the index increased. It was so scary. I got very nervous immediately. I will try my best to adjust my workload now. Have to be more relaxed! However, I feel relieved that Director Kai is personally shooting it. Will not be staying up all night, and it will not be too tough. Everyone has enough time to rest, and I have been observing my situation now".

Selena frankly said that, apart from the character and the script being captivating, the producer is also a main reason for accepting this series: "Actually, Director Kai already approached me last February. Have always been discussing schedules. I have not worked with him before, but really admire him. He even wrote the story and is shooting it this time. I already received ten episodes of the script early on. Have always been looking at it". As for going against Charmaine after many years, she pointed out that the two previously collaborated in 'When Easterly Showers Fall on the Sunny West', 'Can't Buy Me Love', 'Beyond the Realm of Conscience', and other series: "Haven't encountered each other for many years, so really want to film again, and I really like the theme this time. There are many foreign series that talk about news anchors. I am also a fan and really like to watch them. Hope that everything goes smoothly". She also revealed that she went to Singapore to do a stage performance the other day, performing three shows with singer Jeff Chang. She said with a smile, "Can finally do stage performances...very happy". She is currently out of town on vacation with her husband, embarking on a spiritual cleansing journey.

As for Samantha, who is playing a bombshell in the series, she expressed in an interview, "My character has a relatively high EQ, a bright and beautiful appearance, and a cheerful personality, so many people like her; however, beneath that, she does not have much of a family background, so she is very hardworking and has to rely on herself to get what she wants. (Everyone is a mean girl in the series!) There are personnel issues in every industry. Being a female anchor would definitely have personnel disputes and competition. There is good and evil in human nature. I think that it'll be a lot of fun!"

Kenneth Ma Admits to Being a Man of the World, Wedding Has a Lot of Sponsors

This time, TV king Kenneth is playing a tall, stylish, and funny male anchor who is popular in the bureaucracy and the business world. In the series, he is surrounded by mean girls, but he is also not an ordinary person. He expressed in an interview, "I am already looking at the script. This time, the character is a well-rounded man of the world who engages in workplace politics and especially battles with Charmaine! (Selena also has many scenes with you?) Selena and I used to collaborate all the time, like 'A Fistful of Stances' and 'Ghost Dragon of Cold Mountain', but it's been a long time. To be able to collaborate again is very hard to come by". Mentioning that this series will take a long time to film, does his wedding with Roxanne Tong need to be postponed? He said, "I'm thinking that it will be in the second half of the year. Have been planning recently. Looking at a lot of information. Very happy. A lot of people said that they would sponsor us. Have also been preparing for the time being".
