Ben Wong has become a boss, investing seven figures into opening a beauty centre. Many people in the industry came to congratulate him, including Esther Kwan, Bobby Au Yeung, Flora Chan, Tavia Yeung, Roger Kwok, Adia Chan, Alice Chan, Joyce Tang, Elena Kong, Helen Tam, Raymond Cho, Evergreen Mak, et al., creating the reunion of the classic combinations of "Armed Reaction", "A Kindred Spirit", "Flash Fax", etc.

Old partners Bobby and Esther were humourously teasing each other the entire time. It was just starting, and Bobby first revealed that, when he went to Esther's house for a New Year visit the year before, she welcomed the guests in a trendy night gown, evening calling it 'Dressing Gown 1"! However, Esther immediately denied this.

Continuing the "Armed Reaction" Combination

Regarding whether the "Armed" combination would have another continuation, Bobby frankly said that he has always thought about it, worrying that, if filming does not start soon, the viewers will no longer recognize him. He even highly praised Ben as being ageless, being even younger than his "Kindred" days. After hearing this, Esther also highly praised Bobby for maintaining himself well. Bobby immediately revealed that he has done some 'fine-tuning' and even humourously said, "Fine-tuning is not necessarily becoming thinner. I previously became thinner; friends thought that something was wrong with me, so I got fatter!"

Waiting for a Good Script to Make a Comeback

Esther frankly said that, if she were to encounter a good script, she would definitely make a comeback and film a series again, and she certainly wants to collaborate with Bobby again, and suddenly wants to portray a policewoman with superpowers from outer space, and even laughingly said that she wants more gun shooting and action scenes.

Fought Over a Children's Programme with Stephen Chow Back Then

Regarding Bobby wanting to join in upon seeing the group of former children's programme hosts taking a picture on the stage, he frankly said that, back then, he also interviewed for a children's programme along with Stephen Chow but did not make it in the end. Afterward, Bobby revealed that, when he was working with Chow Yun Fat and Tony Leung in the TVB series "Angels and Devils", he and Stephen were playing rebellious youths, and even interviewed for a children's programme together. He said, "I wanted to join! Stephen didn't want to join, but he was chosen. (Why did you want to join so badly?) Because [you] would get popular after joining the children's programme for a half year!" Esther immediately teased him, saying that he has already been popular for decades. Back then, Bobby did not make it because he did not wake up in time for the daytime recording. The two also laughed at each other's looks as being a white girl and a black person.

Roger Kwok Would Rather Starve to Death Than Eat Tavia Yeung's Cooking

Tavia struck first, taking the initiative of asking Ben to sponsor treatments. Afterward, she said that she has already built good relations with the centre's doctors and therapists, and will later be going to accept treatments without paying.

Roger expressed that he intends to collaborate with Tavia on a cart noodles business, but Tavia is worried about going out of business. Does Tavia cook usually? She said, "I am not a 'Hell's Kitchen Goddess'...okay at cooking! My best dishes are tomato-potato soup, stir-fried beef with vegetables, and meat patties". After hearing this, Roger expressed wanting to throw up.

When Tavia was asked whether her husband, Him Law, has tried her cooking, she said, "He always says to my mom that he would later starve to death because my mom usually does not let me go into the kitchen. Cook for Roger next time!" However, Roger frankly said that he would rather starve to death than be willing to try Tavia's cooking, causing Tavia to not know whether to laugh or cry.

Bobby Au Yeung Promotes New Series While Wet

Artistes Bobby Au Yeung, Esther Kwan, etc. were promoting the TV series "Always and Ever" on a double decker bus in Tsim Sha Tsui. Under the hot weather, Bobby was so hot that he became wet. He expressed that he hopes to go to the beach to promote next time: "Can wear swimwear. Even if it's hot, can go into the water. (Who would you want to see wear it?) Want to see everyone!" He even laughingly said that he would bring out the one-piece bathing suit he bought when he filmed "The File of Justice" 20 years ago.

As for Esther, she humourously said that she would wear a t-shirt inside and swimwear on the outside. She revealed that, after watching "Always", her daughter has become full of questions, asking why Uncle Ben [Wong] is a bad guy, and even praised Uncle Bobby as being very cute, and also thinks that the silly look on his face is very funny.

Personal Note: Ha ha.... Bobby's funny! Would he still be able to fit that bathing suit after 17 years?! :P

Bobby Au Yeung was hospitalized after getting acute pneumonia in the early morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year. After being released from the hospital, he officially returned to work to film the series "Love Reverses Three Lifetimes of Fate" today. The series crew specially gave him a card and two boxes of chicken extract. As for good friend Esther Kwan, she gave him a plastic water pipe and said, "I'm giving you this on behalf of your wife and fans. Warning you to not get any tubes in your mouth anymore". Bobby, whose entire body was intubated when he was hospitalized, was in panic after seeing the plastic tube, asking whether it was a urine tube. He also laughingly said, "Now, scared after seeing tubes".

Regarding the first day of returning to work, Bobby expressed being extremely happy: "The producer treats me very well. Now, only film one group of scenes each day...very comfortable. Back then, filmed very laboriously...very rushed. When young, didn't feel it. Although this series already has eight hours of rest, but when counting transportation and reading the script, only get to sleep four or five hours a day. Now, every day, sleep until I want to wake up. Wake up when I have slept enough, and eat when hungry...will gain the weight back very quickly. (What has the doctor told you?) Told me to not eat too full". He was originally supposed to go to Foshan to do location filming; now, it has been delayed until the next month. Bobby expects to stay there for 20 days. Bobby explained, "Because I want to finish filming in Hong Kong before going to Mainland. (Bring a nurse along?) Mainland has many young and good-looking nurses!"

Personal Note: Bobby looks very 精神!

Earlier, artiste Bobby Au Yeung choked, which caused acute pneumonia, so he stayed in the Intensive Care Unit. Today, he finally recovered and was released from the hospital. Although he, who was wearing a toque and glasses, lost a lot of weight, he was in extremely high spirits, talking cheerfully and wittily the entire time. He expressed that he would take note of his eating habits...would no longer 'eat to the max', and also thanked wife Rosanna Fu, manager Lydia, and friends for their care. Especially heartbroken that his wife has lost a lot of weight. When asked how he would repay her, Bobby immediately embraced her, shedding tears...the scene was touching! He expressed that he would be returning to work next month. Because the series has many gunfighting scenes, hope to have enough energy to handle it then. When asked what he wanted to do most after being released from the hospital, Bobby laughingly said that he is in a rush to return home to see his dog because he knows that the dog misses him a lot.

Esther Kwan Receives Bobby Au Yeung's All Is Well Call

Esther Kwan was in Tseung Kwan O TVB City rushing to film the series "Love Reverses Three Lifetimes of Fate". When talking about partner Bobby Au Yeung being released from the hospital today, she said, "He called me to tell me that all is well. After finishing the filming for today, the studio filming will stop, waiting for Bobby to return to work on March 5th. Will finish studio filming in Hong Kong first. Location filming in Foshan will be delayed for a month...going to film there on April 5th".

Personal Note: Really happy that Bobby is okay and has been released from the hospital. Was really shocked and worried when I first heard about his situation. Bobby does look thinner. Hope that he rests after this series...don't think he should film back-to-back.

Bobby Au Yeung Says That Esther Kwan Is Basically a Big Shot

There have been reports indicating that Esther Kwan is unsatisfied with Bobby Au Yeung frequently NG-ing, causing her to not make it home on time to take care of her daughter, which led to the two being at odds! The new series "Love Reverses Three Lifetimes of Fate" continued to film today. Bobby seized the chance to clear that he and Esther are like brother and sister: "Crazy! Nonsense! Saying that we had no communication...it is because I didn't have any dialogue that day. (NGs getting in the way of Esther getting off work?) No, her daughter is so grown up and so clever...no need to be taken care of. Also, there is an auntie looking after her. (Esther said that you don't have much hair, but it takes you longer to get your hair set compared to her?) Mine is an ancient hairstyle! How is it little hair? That means that it's made up! (Esther acting like a big shot?) One day, the series crew was on lunch. Esther led the group to Sai Kung to eat, and she paid the $10,000 bill. How is she acting like a big shot? Also, she doesn't need to act like a big shot. She basically is a big shot! (Esther receives $50,000 per episode?) That cheap? How would you be able to afford her with $50,000...at least $500,000 per episode!"

Personal Note: Ridiculous! Bobby was one of the reasons Esther accepted this series!

Remember reports back then saying that Esther received $7,000 per episode during her prime...$50,000 per episode would definitely make more sense!

Funny how Ram did not know that Bobby was bugging him while he was resting! :P

Esther Kwan Teases Bobby Au Yeung About Having a Bigger Stomach Than Husband

Yesterday, 'Onscreen Couple' Bobby Au Yeung and Esther Kwan were in Yuen Long filming the new series "Love Reverses Three Lifetimes of Fate". Although the two had to work on Christmas Eve, they were fortunate enough to celebrate with their family in the evening. Collaborating again after separating for a while, the two were still in tune with each other, teasing each other off camera.

Bobby laughed at Esther for reaching a new level in acting, and also revealed that Nick Cheung would often visit the set and is getting more and more muscular: "Mr. Cheung told me to make his wife happier. Once he knew about having to film overnight, he would silently come and visit the set, even bringing along some abs! His arm is double my size". Esther laughingly said, "His stomach is not bigger than yours!" Regarding her husband's devoted care, she feels warm inside. Although her husband frequently gets injured from filming, Esther said that she would not order him to decrease dangerous performances...would just tell him to take care of himself: "He is actually careful; however, sometimes the storyline requires it. No one wants accidents to happen!" Ben Wong, who was also on set, had a horse-riding scene. He expressed that he got injured from falling off the back of a horse before...a haunting traumatic experience.

Esther Kwan Returns to Film Series: Receives Special Treatment from TVB

Artiste Esther Kwan was in Tseung Kwan O TVB City for the blessing ceremony of "Love Reverses Three Lifetimes of Fate". After a long rest, Esther is filming for TVB again, and TVB is also temporarily treating her well. Right now, only one filming group is filmed each day...seriously comfortable. She said, "Well, it is much more comfortable compared to back then. Now only filming one filming group a day. In the beginning, was called dumb for filming a background with three different eras...would definitely be too laborious; however, after the script came out, it was more compressed...not as spread out, so not able to film separately. However, not used to it because have to film through the night every day". Esther also laughed at Bobby Au Yeung for not changing after many years, as he still NGs repeatedly.

Bobby Au Yeung Approves of Government Issuing License

Bobby Au Yeung and Ben Wong were in Tseung Kwan O TVB City for the blessing ceremony of "Love Reverses Three Lifetimes of Fate". Regarding the issuance of a free television license, Bobby expressed approval, and that he doesn't believe that ATV would go out of business if the government were to issue another free television license. He said, "If they were to go out of business, they would have done so a long time ago. Sometimes, doing business is not about making money. Maybe their boss is making money elsewhere, so treating it like a charity organization".

Esther Kwan, Bobby Au Yeung, etc. tried on their costume for the Sales Presentation series "Love Reverses Three Lifetimes of Fate". Ben Wong (portraying a State Tutor involved in a love triangle with Esther and Bobby) and JJ Jia are also in the series. This series revolves around three different eras. Esther, who hasn't filmed series for TVB for a number of years, laughingly said that she's not afraid of being laborious: "Have Bobby to look out for me! He also cannot suffer! Already in his 50s!" Esther also said that her daughter was quite excited to know that she would be working: "She said that you're not here, so there wouldn't be anyone always telling me to do my homework!"

On the other hand, Bobby's ancient character is portraying Justice Bao. He said, "The producer said that Justice Bao was originally not dark-faced...was poisoned, so became like this. Don't know if he ate soy sauce chicken!"

Oriental Daily Interviews with Bobby Au Yeung

「花王」歐陽震華:宣萱最惡死

01

歐陽震華(Bobby)從視卅年演過無數劇集,帶給觀眾無限歡樂,是觀眾的開心果,雖然他的身形一日一日「長大」,但合作的花旦卻愈來愈年輕,近日甚至跟年輕廿三年的鍾嘉欣搭檔,實在令人妒忌,Bobby卻一於懶理,繼續肩負栽培花旦的偉大使命!Bobby將於一連五天,剖白卅年演藝工作的心路歷程,如何從訓練班一個墊底生,憑努力蛻變成獨當一面的小生兼坐上「視帝」寶座。

02

我拍過無數劇集,襯過無數花旦,仲愈襯愈後生,的確令人羨慕,但最特別是從無緋聞,可能一直以來,我身邊都有女朋友,結婚之後又有老婆,全世界都知,加上紀錄良好,所以跟我合作的女演員都好放心。

講到年紀最輕的女拍檔,可說是《耀舞長安》的鍾嘉欣,雖然年齡相差一大截,但全無代溝,可能她早熟,而我又遲熟,嘉欣是個好純但好玩的細路女,所以合作好愉快。好似跟她拍一場床上戲,講述她被灌迷湯呻吟除衫,事前她問我應該如何演繹,從未試過醉酒嘅佢唔知點呻吟,我就教她將「二」字用普通話叫出來,估不到她又叫得幾好聽,結果一take過搞掂。除了嘉欣,不知何解同我合作的女藝員都是惡女,可能我太百厭,不夠惡實在治不到我!

冇人敢郁張櫈

最惡的一定是宣萱,我夠膽這樣講全因宣萱最講得笑,佢惡到全城皆知。拍攝《施公奇案》時,每個演員都有張開工櫈,為了貪方便,收工都會將櫈放在電視城一個公眾地方,第二天開工隨便攞一張櫈用。我的開工櫈好新淨,試過有七日唔使開工,我唔想張櫈畀人攞去用,宣萱就提議:「你寫我個名啦,實冇人敢掂!」我就搵張紙寫上宣萱個名,畫了個骷髏骨頭,下面再加兩條骨打交叉,結果一個星期後,張櫈真係原封不動,我攞起張櫈,仲成個「烘」喺度,證明冇人敢移張櫈,宣萱張櫈都敢郁?真係未死過咩!哈……。

講句公道話,其實宣萱唔係惡,佢係個好有原則的人,她的開工櫈絕對不會借人坐,她認為櫈係好私人的物品,想坐櫈就要自己帶,咁佢又真係冇錯。

濕到冇bra戴

宣萱係個好玩得的人,跟她拍《美味天王》,有場戲係我同鄧一君用杯水去整醒暈了的宣萱,我提議用口含水噴醒佢先夠過癮,宣萱話冇問題,我心想既然咁爽就做盡啲,先用杯水追住佢來噴,再在梳化底收埋盆水,宣萱見勢色唔對拔足而逃,我將成盆水淋去佢背脊,佢全身濕晒,場戲出來效果好好。宣萱完全冇嬲,佢去服裝間時話我:「你要淋就早啲講嘛,我冇帶定多個『爸爸』(bra)呀,依家濕晒點算呀!」係宣萱先可以咁玩,大家好似一家人咁,玩完又唔會嬲。

關詠荷「爆房」

其實我最想為宣萱找個男朋友,可惜我身邊的男人都結晒婚,叫佢等吓啦,睇吓邊個離婚,好多人以為宣萱是愛狗狂,總之男人鍾意狗就一定得,但係全部跌晒眼鏡,連之前個獸醫男友都搞佢唔掂,我諗馴獸師先搞得佢掂,攞住條皮鞭來對付佢!

其次最惡的就是關詠荷,佢真係唔講得笑,得張家輝先搞得掂佢,其他人真係去送死。拍《四大才子》時,有次家輝同佢拍同一場戲,當時佢哋住埋一齊,家輝一早就點關詠荷返去電視城梳頭先,話跟住會返去,到佢整完個古裝頭,PA(助導)竟然話家輝病咗冧廠,我見關詠荷氣沖沖走去攞車,當時唔知發生咩事,夜晚返到錄影廠見到家輝,佢話你知唔知我今朝幾大鑊呀?關詠荷好嬲衝返屋企嘭一聲踢開道房門,再一手拉開張被,當時天寒地凍o架,關詠荷大叫:「死佬,連我都點!」真係咁都得,佢兩個天生一對,無人可以取代。

Profile

姓名:歐陽震華(Bobby)

年齡:50歲

威水史:1982年加入無綫電視藝員訓練班,由跑龍套到配角至漸被睇重,90年代初在《壹號皇庭》中擔正男主角。1997年與拍檔關詠荷憑《醉打金枝》於萬千星輝賀台慶奪「最佳惹笑冤家大獎」,又在2000年憑《洗冤錄》在萬千星輝頒獎典禮中奪「最佳男主角 」,事業更上一層樓。

宣萱讚Bobby合作最安心

宣萱不介意被Bobby視為最惡的女藝員,直言視他這位好友為最愛拍檔,跟他一起開工的日子最開心,更大讚Bobby是圈中難得的好男人及正人君子,絕對不會對女藝人不正經,跟他合作最安心,圈中誘惑雖大,但Bobby從不受引誘,令宣萱至為欣賞。

03
Bobby張櫈寫上宣萱個名,一個星期都冇人敢郁。

「有次同Bobby有場咀戲,拍之前佢喺導演身邊兜咗十個圈,不停游說導演取消咀戲,最後導演都取消咗。睇到Bobby轉嚟轉去真係好好笑,我都未嫌棄佢,佢竟然唔肯同我咀。」宣萱說。兩人合作多次,始終無緣一咀。

至於YoYo(蒙嘉慧)亦大讚Bobby是好拍檔,開工從無悶場,有一次Bobby執到她的車匙,打算整蠱她,半夜收工後堅持陪她去攞車,一心諗住她找不到車匙就會發癲,殊不知YoYo不慌不忙從袋中取出車匙,Bobby吃驚不已,取出拾得的車匙反問:「咁呢條車匙係邊個o架?」原來YoYo曾跟方中信合作拍劇,為了不讓她早走將其車匙扣起,自此YoYo必備兩條車匙開工,估不到可以反過來整蠱Bobby,她笑說:「真係要多謝方中信。」

愈拍愈young

外表肥嘟嘟好可愛的Bobby,合作對手從未受年齡限制,近年對手更愈拍愈嫩口,同樣受到觀眾歡迎。

90年代

Bobby90年代活躍電視圈,1991年與陳秀雯拍攝《壹號皇庭》,1996年跟陳妙瑛拍《天降財神》,1997年與關詠荷合拍《醉打金枝》及《美味天王》,1999年與宣萱合拍《洗冤錄》,對手皆是好戲之人,劇集一出,收視必高企。

千禧年代

踏入千禧年,Bobby除了與關詠荷繼續合作,亦加入多位新血,如2001年跟蔡少芬合作《陀槍師姐III》,2003年跟佘詩曼拍攝《洗冤錄II》,2004年與蒙嘉慧拍《陀槍師姐IV》等。

拍新花旦

近年無綫力捧新進花旦如鍾嘉欣、楊怡,Bobby亦以前輩老師身份教她們演戲,2006年分別跟鍾嘉欣拍《法證先鋒》及與楊怡拍《賭場風雲》,最近再與鍾嘉欣合作《耀舞長安》,更有不俗口碑。

蒙嘉慧open試咀「壓驚」

Bobby演技了得,原來死穴是拍接吻戲,所以採取避得就避之法。

以我嘅輪廓,扁口扁面,好似鹹煎餅咁壓埋一堆,拍kiss戲有咩好睇?你估係陶大宇咩,佢鼻高、下巴兜兜、皮膚又好,側面錫落去幾好睇,睇佢跟陳慧珊、宣萱拍接吻戲真係揮灑自如。到我同蔡少芬(Ada)拍《陀槍師姐》醉住擁吻戲,結果我同Ada錫完面珠、額頭,再攬埋就完成,表現出情到濃時嘅感覺就得,唔一定要激吻,導演都冇符。

0405
蒙嘉慧與Bobby試咀,十分開放。

不過之後同蒙嘉慧(YoYo)拍接吻戲,先知道原來kiss戲可以綵排嘅!嗰次喺尖沙咀當街當巷拍咀戲,拍之前我緊張到騰來騰去,又飲水又食香口膠,YoYo走埋來撩我:「好緊張呀?口臭咩?食咁多香口膠,見你咁驚,都冇乜人啫,想唔想試吓?」kiss戲都有得試?通常呢啲戲唔會綵排,正式埋位先咀落去。好!我又試吓,佢錫落來,問我係咪好啲,我話好啲,佢仲問我仲使唔使試多次。通常拍完男藝人會懶有風度同女藝人講唔該晒,點知一拍完,我講唔該,佢竟然講thank you,邊有女仔咁講o架,佢真係冇得頂。

後尾拍《耀舞長安》YoYo喺化妝間見到我就說:「唉!做女人真係慘,以前你就襯我,過幾年已經襯胡杏兒同鍾嘉欣。」我即刻話:「係呀,遲幾年你做我後母添!」激死佢。

歐陽震華:畀人勸做幕後

01
Bobby表示訓練班路難行,初入行因無錢使而去當舖變賣奢侈品。

歐陽震華(Bobby)從影卅年,由一九八二年入讀無綫第十一期藝員訓練班,自認是訓練班最醜樣一個,眼見梁朝偉、張兆輝、關禮傑全部出道,自己竟然被勸轉做幕後,心情簡直跌落谷底。

選擇讀無綫藝員訓練班純粹是覺得做明星好威,同班有湯鎮宗、梁朝偉、關禮傑、張兆輝、吳廷燁、吳鎮宇等。我在訓練班入面是最醜樣一個,當時偷睇老師寫評語,梁朝偉及湯鎮宗等評語是「一級小生」,吳廷燁「武打小生」,「歐陽震華」?咦,空咗嘅!無評語,唉!一盆冷水照頭淋。

後來導師問我有無興趣轉幕後,隔兩個星期再問有無興趣做體育組記者,我讀藝員訓練班喎,唔係想做記者,諗住無人簽,但好彩簽到最後一個都簽到我,好似是有人唔簽先簽我,雖然做後備,但都諗住船到橋頭自然直。

02
Bobby(左起)與關禮傑、張兆輝曾合演《黃金十年》。

03
Bobby指DoDo姐為人體貼,拍劇時曾陪他對戲,令他十分感動。

04
梁朝偉在訓練班的評語是「一級小生」,相反Bobby則無評語。

等錢使去當舖

入無綫前打份工每月七、八千元,又不用養家,連打火機都用名牌,但第一年入無綫,就將之前買落的奢侈品逐樣賣,但朋友唔要,又無錢使,就搵朋友幫手去當舖。那時雖然銀包無錢,但都好開心,覺得畢業又可以成為發哥接班人,以為捱完訓練班就得,點知原來是噩夢的開始。

訓練班出來條路都好難行,眼見個個都做主角,《黃金十年》我同張兆輝、關禮傑三個,一睇就覺得張兆輝是男主角,我就配角樣,演技又差,但都算有人識,搭地 鐵聽到人講「呢個司徒咩華呢,一行出嚟就死嗰個茄喱啡……」當時仲拖住女朋友,後來咪買架二手車,但架車霉到穿窿。之後攞架車去賣,當時為揸車無餐食得 飽。

四巨星陪對戲

之後拍《警花出更》,遇上鄭裕玲、劉兆銘、白茵與石修四個天王巨星,有得震無得瞓,畀人鬧到飛起,當時返去背劇本到滾瓜爛熟,到正式埋位監製突然改 對白,吓!入晒腦,臨時改了做唔到,監製叫放消夜,話等Bobby讀熟先拍,但DoDo姐好好,叫PA買消夜返廠,四個巨星陪我對戲,其他人以為DoDo 姐好嚴肅,其實佢都有體貼一面,當時真係好感動。

歐陽震華:可惜無髮配合

01
Bobby寧願留短髮,都唔想以九一分界見人。

歐陽震華(Bobby)出道之後一直浮浮沉沉,直到九二年《壹號皇庭》,才真正有機會坐上一線小生位置,Bobby好希望可以原班人馬開拍第六輯,不過頭髮短小的他,慨嘆:「無『髮』配合!」

最記得第一次同《壹號皇庭》監製鄧特希見面,阿希話好想開法庭戲,但亦都好冒險,因為法庭戲好沉悶,好少觀眾鍾意睇,所以好靠一班演員。阿希刻意找全部二線演員作良性競爭,我、陳秀雯、陶大宇、宣萱、陳慧珊、駱應鈞等,要我哋做好自己本分,每人都係主線有得發揮,結果拍了咁多集,差不多個個都上晒一線。

讚陳秀雯轉數高

好多觀眾好喜歡我同陳秀雯飾演兩夫妻的一段戲。秀雯轉數好高,好似我哋經常要拍床上傾偈戲,兩個都穿着絲質滑脫脫睡衣,我個角色又衰,講嘢鹹鹹濕濕,萬一有咩反應咪好醜?雖然大家冚住被,但睇到兩個人形分開就不好,秀雯諗到個好辦法,叫道具手足攞了張最厚棉胎來,我問佢:「做咩,唔夠暖咩?」原來佢係想用棉胎捲實我,捲到上心口,上面再冚住被,大家對腳碰埋就唔會尷尬,所以每次拍床上戲我都要做豬腸粉。

其實由第一輯《壹號皇庭》到現在,不知不覺已經廿年,我好想開拍第六輯,我知道觀眾都好想,如果唔係點會每次重播都咁大回響,所以好想重組番這個組合,觀眾都大有眼福,但大家的髮型就點都去唔番以前,就係大宇都去唔番啦,唔好話我呀。

九一分界唔使諗

雖然我頭髮唔多,但無論如何都不會戴假髮,實畀人掟雞蛋,我都接受唔到。其實光頭有光頭靚仔,你睇球星施丹都多人鍾意,做娛樂圈是演員,觀眾如果鍾意睇人多頭髮,咪揀多頭髮的演員嚟睇,總有觀眾唔介意人哋少頭髮,況且我依家又唔係地中海,只是頭髮有些稀疏,咁咪全部剪短晒去,唔通玩九一分界咩,我就不如死咗去,就算剷光佢都不會梳九一分界。

歐陽震華希望自己的搞笑演出能令觀眾減壓。

歐陽震華(Bobby)與周星馳有甚麼分別?星爺戲裏笑死冇命賠,戲外卻是個不苟言笑的人;Bobby則完全相反,徹頭徹尾都是人肉笑彈。為甚麼性格如此樂觀?他一語道破:「自己都唔笑,屈埋屈埋咪病囉!」笑一笑,世界更美妙!

我有個朋友識好多喜劇演員,佢話喜劇演員本身一啲都唔好笑,個個嚴肅到不得了,佢問我點解歐陽震華可以咁好笑,做戲好笑,本身都好搞笑。我就答佢我真係咁搞笑!如果成日淨係識得氹人笑,自己都唔笑,屈埋屈埋咪病囉!

捨棄熱鬧甘平淡

好似《壹號皇庭》「余在春」個角色咁,唔係佢似我,係我似佢。個角色幾好玩,對白又啜核,真係好適合我做。其實我以前都唔係咁好笑,拍完《壹》劇後就好似開咗竅咁,個人愈嚟愈識得放鬆同開朗咗,講笑都認真啦!以前有咩自己諗掂佢,依家就算唔搵人傾,咪出去飲吓嘢嘻哈大笑,等個腦放鬆吓。

依家遇到唔開心一定搵朋友訴苦,但朋友愈來愈少,幾千變幾百。人大咗,性格都開始變。以前鍾意四圍湊熱鬧,反而依家少少怕多人。以前蒲中環酒吧好多人,唔識嘅膊頭黐膊頭都傾一晚;依家要有間隔,傾都要搵個熟嘅。呢行抑鬱症多,我依家咁都可能係一種先兆嚟,以前喺Disco嘈到要傾唇語玩骰盅,依家唔可以音樂大聲過我。

美國有調查報告話做喜劇演員長命過做悲劇演員,我依家唔理做咩角色都好,都會滲喜劇元素落去,令人輕鬆吓。成日乸住塊面,石膏像咩?某類觀眾希望輕鬆,食飯都想開心。講真,我都想做動作演員,冇人搵之嘛!其實我好靈活,早前飾演上海民初探長揸電單車,冇人信我郁得。

最怕吊高驚到縮

但我最驚係高同吊威吔,《談判專家》同《陀槍師姐》都試過,七、八樓咁高,嗰條鋼絲牙籤咁,話斷就斷。吊過嗰次之後唔吊得威吔,亦唔落得水,真係好驚!八樓放你落去,用跳樓速度,叫你大啲動作,唔得呀,所有器官都縮啦!

Bobby牙擦擦:咪堅囉!

01
歐陽震華寄語新人要裝備自己,上位要靠實力。

歐陽震華(Bobby)老早已返大陸拍劇,令不少演員羨慕不已,都說各有前因,他今天積來的果是昨天種的,他寄語後輩簡單一句:「唔好畀香港生活環境寵壞。」有現在的成績,全靠默默耕耘,他還豪氣的說,沒擦鞋沒送袋照攞視帝,這才夠「堅」。

內地嘅夏天,任何地方都係大火爐,只要你開工,時裝都死!唔好話黐晒頭套,舊年八、九月喺大陸拍鍾馗,工作人員話如果唔係就我,四月已經開鏡。有一次熱到爆咗鬚,全部汗嚟,拍到咁熱好忟囉!

02
早年已北上賺人仔的Bobby,適應力極強。

03
Bobby也想多拍港劇,可是檔期不能遷就。

內地拍嘢,要入鄉隨俗。香港人樣樣轉得好快,可能同香港人合作多,內地劇組都有過之而無不及。佢哋基本上唔知我講乜,叫佢加啲想像力,我都唔知佢哋講乜o架,睇埋眼神、身體語言估到囉,上去拍嘢唔好諗住好似香港咁乜都有,但呢啲地方只要有連鎖快餐店就唔使死。

上位靠實力其實

內地愈來愈進步,愈來愈文明。有時去應酬,明知人有企圖咪唔去,唔逼得我,我唔係飲得好勁,係飲唔飲嘅問題,佢哋唔會逼,好文明,邊個敢隊我呀,未死過咩,我覺得依家內地人仲有禮貌過香港人囉!

0405
Bobby笑言老婆大使,所以要勤力做。

我依家少拍香港嘢,想抖一抖,唔係怕辛苦,只係啲期唔啱,我係一個勤力嘅人,老婆都問我點解咁勤力?我話你大使嘛!好多觀眾叫我拍番多啲香港劇,但依家咁多新人,真係好多選擇。依家個個都有經理人,真係好幸福,但要上位真係好講實力,好似我咁冇擦鞋冇送袋,都攞到視帝,咪堅囉!就算返內地都適應到,能屈能伸,唔好畀香港生活環境寵壞。

做個好榜樣

你問我會唔會退休?做乜要退,難得搵到份工自己鍾意又搵到錢,都會一直做落去。新一脫嘅演員都叫我Bobby哥,所以要做榜樣,唔可以失禮,以前Bobby仔可以錯,依家我要提醒番人唔可以錯,不過我都揀人提,試過畀人窒番轉頭,你話乜世界?(完)

後記

Bobby是個真性情流露的人,跟他做訪問實在是一大樂事,難怪他如此得人歡心。Bobby現在最大心願就是希望原班人馬開拍《壹號皇庭》第六輯,因為拍攝該劇是他演藝生涯最快樂的日子,所以Bobby承諾如果能夠開拍得成,他願意減收酬勞,Bobby說:「就算唔知開唔開得成,都想約出嚟傾吓聚吓,咁多年冇見,一定好開心。」希望Bobby這個「皇庭夢」能夠早日實現。

Steven Ma & Esther Kwan @ "Super Trio" 1999

Steven and Esther were paired up for the Bom Cha Cha skit on "Super Trio" 1999.


Steven: Can you not walk back and forth?
Esther: What?! You're not saying anything. I'm bored! I have to walk around.
Steven: That's enough!

(Dancing to Aaron Kwok's 對你愛不完)

Steven: There isn't anything I dare not to say, but you are so mean. I'm scared.
Esther: I can be meaner I tell you!
Steven: Hey! Don't bug me! No! I don't want it!

(Dancing to cancan music)

Esther: Are you going to talk now!
Steven: Please, I beg you. Don't be so mean.
Esther: I have not seen a cop like you before.
Steven: Don't take my glasses. I can't see.
Esther: Fine, fine! I'll give it back to you!
Steven: Well, it's my first day at work. I don't know what kind of questions to ask you. You were very bold to steal that old man's underwear. And it wasn't even washed.
Esther: Do you have one in there?

(Dancing to Vivian Chow, Linda Wong, and Karen Tong's 美少女戰士)

Steven: I'll ask you for the last time. Do you admit to this crime?
Esther: Hmph!
Steven: Answer me!
Esther: Hey! Do you have to be so mean?

Personal Note: I swear Mainland likes airing this season of "Super Trio".

New SKII Ads 2008

skII_02skII_03estherfloramaggie

Flora Chan, Esther Kwan, and Maggie Cheung all look so stunning in these ads! It has been 4 years since either Flora or Maggie has filmed for TVB ("Hard Fate" and "The Conqueror's Story"). Although Esther has returned to film "Best Selling Secrets" in 2007, it is just not enough. We need to see more from these great 'Fa Dans'!

關詠荷 陳慧珊分享湊女經

關詠荷、張可頤與陳慧珊等為護膚品牌SK-II拍宣傳照,她們分享護膚心得,做了媽咪的關詠荷與陳慧珊亦趁機會講女兒經。關詠荷有女萬事足,為了照顧女兒 Brittany成長,她暫停幕前演出要做好媽媽。她也擔心丈夫張家輝呷醋,提醒自己也要兼顧老公的感受。她笑說女兒是開心果,與女兒一起總是笑容滿面,笑得多便有表情紋,故她要護膚作保養。

張可頤學懂做人要有遠見

陳慧珊稱人生經歷不同階段,在愛情與事業後,現在她的注意力也在家庭上。培育女兒Mira成長是她的焦點,連做Gym時間也犧牲了,她跟女兒散步便當做運動。

張可頤有愛情滋潤,在事業方面再接受挑戰,她轉型做主持,跟過往拍劇集的工作方式不同。主持工作需要,她各方面要多作準備,她亦因此學懂做人要有遠見才可掌握未來。

Esther Kwan Returns to TVB

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVB held a costume fitting for its '07 situation comedy (i.e., sitcom) 《嫲辣甜孫》 (literally translated as "Spicy Grandmother, Sweet Grandchild"). The cast members present included Esther Kwan, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Elvina Kong, Angela Tong, and foreign newbie Brian Thomas Burrell (Bo Wai Kit).

Esther has stopped work for two years because of her daughter. Now that her daughter is a year old, she feels that she should get back into working because she does not want to lag behind with society. Esther explains, "When Catherine Tsang first called me, I immediately agreed [to film]. She gave me a good card because I can stay in HK to film. Also, since it is a sitcom, the schedule is stable, and it enables me to spend time with my daughter and work. The timing is perfect; if Catherine had called me earlier, I might have not taken the offer".

Elvina will be playing the boss of an advertisement company and will be required to wear a lot of brand name clothing. She will be bringing her own clothing to filming.

Angela will be playing a police officer, and she will be considering getting her hair cut short for the role. In the series, she will have a foreign husband, Brian Thomas Burrell, who not only speaks fluent Cantonese, but also knows how to read Chinese, and this puts Angela to shame. Despite working in HK for so long, she still cannot read Chinese. She laughs, "It's a good thing my husband knows Chinese. Then I can ask him".

Personal Note: Since filming doesn’t start until the end of the month, I wonder if Bobby is going to guest-star in a couple of episodes.... It would be great to see them on screen together again.

Esther Kwan Returns to TVB to Save Ratings

After leaving TVB for six years, Esther will be returning to TVB and will be filming a situation comedy (sitcom). Elaine Kam Yin Ling and Angela Tong will also be in the series. As it is a sitcom, it will be airing in March when "Welcome to the House" finishes. The show will revolve around female life, so TVB hopes that it will save the ratings during the evening time slot.

Esther was always a lucky star for ratings. Even when she left in 2000, "Armed Reaction II" had ratings of 37 points, and a high of 40+ points. Wow! 2007 is going to be a good year because Flora is going to film in February, and now Esther is coming back. Esther can't pair up with Bobby because he will be filming the sequel of "Forensic Heroes" in July. Plus, he is filming with Yoyo right now. I don't think Bobby films that many series per year. It would be awesome if Bobby and Esther film together. Come on, "Armed Reaction V"! You need Ngor Jeh to help Siu Sang, Ying Chi, and Sam Yuen to find Ching Fung. It would be funny to see Esther and Ada fight for Bobby.

Personal Note: If I'm correct, Elaine Kam Yin Ling played Michelle Ye’s mom in ATV's "Central Affairs 2". She is a great actress; back in the days, she won the Golden Horse award for 'Best Supporting Actress'. She also played Carol Cheng's best friend in the movie "Heart to Hearts", which also starred George Lam and Vivian Chow.
