"Darkside of the Moon" started shooting last December. After three months of filming, Tavia Yeung posted pictures on social media, announcing that "Darkside" has officially wrapped! Tavia happily left a message: "Over three months of filming has successfully come to an end. Thanks to Director [Chung Shu] Kai for his invitation and trust so that I could have the honour to take part. Thanks to every actor, the behind-the-scenes team, and the various departments for their full cooperation and mutual coordination, treating every scene and every shot with a professional and focused work attitude. Looking forward to 'Darkside of the Moon' bringing viewers a different feeling and a different us, and leaving different memories". Tavia also specially tagged Chung Shu Kai to say 'thanks'.

The three leads of "Darkside", Tavia, Vincent Wong, and Lin Xia Wei, were also interviewed by TVB Entertainment News. Tavia, who has filmed a series two years after "Modern Dynasty", expressed an unwillingness to part with those before the screen and behind the scenes: "Filmed for three months, but the time passed by very quickly. Passed by in the blink of any eye. Really very unwilling to let go". Lin Xia Wei also expressed that there are different sparks collaborating again with Tavia this time.

Tavia Yeung Receives Complaints from Her Daughter

Tavia had to travel between Mainland and Hong Kong recently due to the filming of the series. Tavia even frankly said that she received complaints from her four-year-old daughter because of this: "She is older and is starting to be sensible. She would also say, 'I don't want you to go to work. Want you stay here and accompany me more. Tell Daddy to go to work'". Tavia laughingly said, "Arranging for me to accompany her by her side and for Daddy to go to work to make money, and it's okay. I also told her that it'll be very quick. I will not leave". Tavia also expressed that she will be enjoying family fun during Easter, revealing that her daughter wants to go to a 'princess place'. She laughingly said, "I have to dress up again now and let it go again".

Vincent, who has a daughter with Yoyo Chen, also mentioned his family in the interview: "Before the next job, trying to find some time to spend with [my] family, but it is not for a long time. Basically busy. Also want to give myself a few days to pull out of this role".

"In Bed with a Stranger" Sub Song (Joey Law Live Solo Version)


"In Bed with a Stranger" - Joey Law

再見枕邊人 《再見.枕邊人》 插曲 - 羅天宇

作曲: 劉易昇
填詞: 楊熙

仍是你 再遇到你 不需天天再力疲
重遇你 半夜等到晨曦 只需有你

*枕邊 只想抱著你 (只想有著你)
只想統統都不理
向著那夢想的好戲
當天我或你幾多不好都要忘記別再分離
枕邊 只想抱著你 (只想有著你)
將過去也都收起
放下昨天的分歧
合上眼可安枕好好的愛你

獨個睡以後 夢裡亦會想起
就算沒法睡 夜裡亦會記起
沒你在以後 就算後悔也剩低一張被
和從前沒法可對比

Repeat (*)

哪捨得分離
遇過太多崎嶇怎捨得放棄

終找到你 重頭填寫幸福的標記
不用日期 來年全部也給你
夢裡只有你

- The series is a lighthearted comedy that talks about Hong Kong people and the Hong Kong sentiment. Apart from being full of humane qualities, the story also has the mahjong parlour and the symphony orchestra as its themes. The plot has a bit of cartoonish humour.
- The series takes place in Wan Chai, where the new and the old meet.
- Shaun Tam's character represents the old-school Hong Kong people in this Hong Kong story. Initially, the government issued 144 mahjong parlour licenses. The purpose was to have a place for citizens to spend their leisure time and not a place for gambling. Shaun's character still retains this idea, which is slightly contrary to modern people's way of doing business. Fortunately, Ali Lee is a person who knows how to appreciate him. Although the two bicker from time to time, she knows the most valuable thing about this man. The relationship between the two is that of a boss and an employee, and there is also a bit of ambiguity.
- In addition to having classical music as a backdrop, showing its elegance, the series also uses music to repair the family. The amateur symphony orchestra 「港灣樂團」 is one of the themes of the series, bringing out the musicians' enthusiasm toward pursuing their dreams. The story talks about them going from initially being yelled at to becoming an acceptable orchestra.
- The series has invited the Hong Kong Amateur Orchestra to assist in the filming. In addition to providing information, they will even provide guidance for shooting music scenes, and some members will even appear in the performances.
- Shaun will play Szeto Kau (司徒久), the boss of an old-style mahjong parlour. He comes into contact with classical music and finds his family that he has been separated from for a long time. John is both his mentor and friend. Ali will help him pursue his dream. He and Ali will duet in the series. He is learning to play the piano for the series.
- Ali will play Cheung Tit (張鐵), a woman in charge of the finances of a mahjong parlour. She is Shaun's capable assistant. She is the woman beside and behind Shaun who supports him to pursue his dream. She is a gentle and tough person. She has a bold personality and is very astute and good with numbers. She works for Shaun as the housekeeper who takes care of everything for her boss; she has been by his side since they were young, so when she graduates, she basically helps him manage his business, helping him manage the finances and helping him invest and make money. Shaun is her benefactor; to pay a debt of gratitude, she helps him make money and manage his career and helps him take care of and keep and eye on his younger brother and younger sister. Shaun is extremely generous and is willing to spend money on the people around him, so she has to manage his finances. Her role is like that of a parent. She and Telford Wong are like sibings. She and her boss and single father Shaun are a bickering pair, even developing a romantic storyline. She and Shaun have a really close relationship. There are a few scenes with a few hundred characters of dialogue that she has to say in succession. She has two flashback scenes that talk about her and Shaun when they were younger; she has to play herself as a 17-year-old and a 21-year-old.
- John will play Au Yeung Chung, the big boss of a mahjong parlour and the domineering chairman of the mahjong guild. He is rather old-fashioned as a person, but his thinking is new, so it is the newest mahjong parlour. There are a lot of mahjong things that he wants to complete. Shaun is the son of a friend and also a rival; he and Shaun have a business rivalry.
- Rosita Kwok will play Sam Ka Ming (沈家明), a cellist in an orchestra. She is a member of 「港灣樂團」. She has a cheerful personality. She is Shaun's daughter whom he had lost contact with. She returns to Hong Kong from overseas and joins an amateur orchestra to develop her music career. During this period, she and her father, Shaun, meet by chance in Hong Kong, and this story unfolds. She, Shaun, and Ali have the feel of a family. She mainly gets pursued by Telford. She and Telford are a pure pair and are rather reserved; they are not a couple but are quite familiar with one another. When Telford is investigating cases, she will take part and help out. She really admires Brian Tse.
- Wai Ka Hung will play a bar owner. He, Shaun, and Stephen are good brothers who grew up together.
- Telford will play Ching Long (程郎), a young detective who is simple, straightforward, honest, upright, and sincere. As a cop, he just wants to help people. He is not really good at mahjong, but he sometimes goes to help his younger sister, Karen Wu, make hamburgers. He has an extremely good big brother, Shaun, and they are an extremely warm family. He has a romantic storyline with Rosita; he likes her at first sight. He and Rosita are more than friends; he is always by her side and is supportive of her. There is a big case in which his family is involved, and he also has to handle it.

Raymond Lam Reveals That the Two Brothers Have Hopes of Collaborating, Ron Ng Immediately Refuses to Continue with the Topic When Asked About HANA

Artistes Raymond Lam and Ron Ng were guests today on the talk show "Mayanne Blah Blah Blah" hosted by Mayanne Mak. Raymond pointed out that he had worked with Mayanne in the series "Line Walker: Bull Fight". In addition, [he] and Ron were able to match their schedules, and also wanted to congratulate Mayanne for winning the award for 'Best Programme Host' earlier, so immediately agreed upon getting invited.

Raymond revealed that, this time, the theme of the programme is mainly talking about how his 25-year brotherhood with Ron has been maintained: "Actually, these 25 years, our onscreen collaborations are really not considered a lot, but we have a lot of contact in private. When he and I get along with each other, we also have the same opinions a lot of the time...have never had disagreements. (Do [you] sometimes feel that he has a lot to say?) Well, would not. I like that he has a lot to say ". Ron continued saying, "Actually, to maintain a friendship, there are a lot of things that [you] also have to accept. For example, out of the ten fingers, some are long while others are short. Everyone also has flaws and strong points, so why would I not look at his strong points? I like him like that".

Ron said that he and Raymond have known each other for 25 years since the training class. Being in the same frame in the programme this time is hard to come by; a lot of memories came to mind. Asked if [he] is worried about being asked by Mayanne about his love matters, he laughingly said that it is not his first day in the industry, so [he] will not be easily tricked into talking: "If anyone asks, I will tell them to watch the news. In short, work comes first. Don't have much time for dating. If really dating, then have to sacrifice the time for sleep". Then [he] changed the topic and expressed that he has been working in different places recently and had just returned to Hong Kong from Malaysia. When it was mentioned that, when he was promoting a movie there, [he] wanted to shake hands with a female fan but was rejected by her. Ron explained, "I was slightly playing. [I] only held out [my] hand when she turned around. She could not see it, so it was not because she was rude, and it's not because I am not charming. (Few people reject you?) To be honest, there really are none".

In addition, Raymond said that there is an opportunity to film a series with Ron this year; it is currently in discussion. However, it depends on the schedule, script, and role. The two already sang the new song 《友情未完》 earlier: "The song had been in preparation for a year. Had this concept when we were shooting the variety programme 'Call Me by Fire'. Thought that the lyrics really fit our brotherhood". However, there are no plans to shoot an MV. Asked why [they] did not count in [their] other good brother, Bosco Wong, to sing with [them], Ron immediately asked, "He knows how to sing? I have never heard him sing".

Talking about Ron's rumoured girlfriend, HANA, recently signing a new record company, Ron immediately refused to continue with the topic after hearing this: "Going to talk about the song first today. (Do [you] know?) Know. Okay as long as she feels happy and comfortable. I will support [her] wherever she goes. (Do [you] also have an unfinished friendship with her?) Of course. We are friends".

ontv Clip

Bosco Wong, Moses Chan, Kenneth Ma, Yvette Chan, and Tsui Wing were filming at a hotel [today] for the Shaw Brothers series "Prism Breaker". [Yesterday], they just shot at a desolate place, and Bosco even had a series of action scenes and even had to be on wires, accidentally getting injured and bruising [his] arm in the end. Moses expressed his sympathy: "Bosco is an action actor. It is the toughest for him. There's a lot of blood and tears. It's also hard for me; I have to keep watching his fight scenes". Bosco asked him if he had the itch to fight as well. Moses immediately said, "I see you fight like this; my heart is also sad for you. You fight so handsomely". Bosco pointed out that Moses had to wear a three-piece suit and run with him through the mountains that day; it was also hard to run until [he] was dripping with sweat: "Kenneth is the most comfortable. He only comes in to get the last laugh after the fighting is done". Kenneth laughingly said, "Because you two have an expensive show fee, so have to shoot more. My show fee is cheap, so come out at the end".

Speaking of Moses' wife, Aimee Chan, whose birthday is on the 1st of next month, Moses, who has always loved his wife, expressed that he has already asked for some time off from the series crew and hopes to have his wish fulfilled. After hearing this, Bosco said, "For the bliss of Moses' family, let me and Kenneth take care of it". Moses added, Actually, my wife, my daughter, and I all have birthdays in April". Kenneth immediately raised his hand and said, "My wife's birthday is in May". Bosco said helplessly, "Then Kenneth and I will take care of April, while Moses and I will take care of May. Everyone is also picking on me for being alone. Well, it's my dog's birthday in June!"

Yvette Chan Takes on the Challenge of Being in a Girl Group

Mentioning the series "The QUEEN of News" having a sequel with Bosco and Kenneth as the candidates, Kenneth frankly said that he does not know the details yet and is leaving everything to fate. Bosco laughingly said, "I also don't know what role I'm playing. Maybe I'll only be appearing as an Easter egg again, but the most important thing is receiving sufficient pay".

As for Yvette, she is playing a rich girl and a member of a girl group in the series. In order to act out the character well, she took dance classes beforehand: "It was quite fun. Even shot a girl group dance". She revealed that she is currently filming another series, "ICAC Investigators 2024", at the same time. Felt slightly unwell after shooting a rain scene the other day.

"The QUEEN of News 2" is expected to start filming early next year. Many of the main actors in the series, including Samantha Ko, Kenneth Ma, and Bosco Wong appeared at a promotional event. Although the key figure Charmaine Sheh did not appear in person, she shot a clip as 「Man姐」: "I, Man Wai Sam, have my own credibility wherever I go to do the news. I, alone, am also enough to win against your entire SNK station. Do [you] dare to use tonight's prime time news to gamble with me? Remember, there is only one news queen in the world of news".

Bosco responded to this newspaper yesterday, admitting that TVB had already mentioned to him about filming "QUEEN 2", but [he] does not know what role he would be playing. He said, "They haven't told me anything...very secretive. Probably working on the script! I have not worked with Charmaine in the past because there were no scenes opposite one another, so greatly looking forward to it!" He also came up with things about his role and laughingly said, "Maybe I'll be the chef or owner of 'Bosco's Kitchen' and cook something for Charmaine, which would make her have a stomachache and cause her to no longer have her queenly aura! They have psychological battles in the office, while I will do a physiological battle, using a stomachache to subdue her queenly aura. However, I am not scared of her queenly aura because she herself is not like that!"

"The QUEEN of News" Starts Shooting at the End of the Year, Producer Chung Shu Kai: "Will Be Adding New Characters"

Chung Shu Kai, the producer of "The QUEEN of News" attended an event today and was asked about the progress of the preparation for "QUEEN 2". He expressed, "Should officially start filming at the end of the year to the beginning of next year. The actors' schedules are also all [locked]. Mainly looking at the progress of the script. (A brand new story or a continuation of 'QUEEN'?) It is a continuation, but will be adding new characters like Bosco.

I will have new important characters, including two female anchors; one is good, while the other is evil, but have not thought about whom [we] should invite. Actors are welcome to recommend themselves". Talking about the qualifications for the 'new female anchors', he frankly said, "Also young, but usually when I write scripts, there are also character setups before thinking about fitting them onto which actors would be the most suitable, and then making the relevant adjustments. Really have to give me some time".
