Filming of "Triumph in the Skies II" Delayed Until December

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

At the beginning of the year, TVB was able to get an airline company as a series sponsor. "Triumph in the Skies II" was confirmed to film in September, and Michael Miu, Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu, Kate Tsui, Fala Chen, Nancy Wu, etc. were chosen to take part.

The cast members' schedules were reserved for the filming of this series; however, because there were sudden changes in the sponsor's arrangements, making them unable to fly to the filming locations, filming has been delayed until December.

Personal Note: This should be the confirmed cast of "Triumph". TVB was most likely not able to successfully invite heavyweight outsiders to take part, as the aforementioned cast consists only of TVB-managed siu sangs and fa dans.

"The Other Truth" Promotional Event 2

TVBE Clip

"Scoop" Clip

TVB8 Clip

For the first three episodes of "The Other Truth", the ratings peaked at 32 points.

Personal Note: Surprised that they mentioned that Ruco was a singer after he debuted in the industry (especially since the topic of singing was not discussed during the interview)...thought that they would mention that he was from TVB's Acting Class instead....

He he.... The host also wondered if Ruco would become 'the second Raymond Wong'.... ;)

There was most likely a mistake in the TVBE commentary, as the 'bouncing' gag sounds like something that Louis Yuen would say rather than Wayne Lai.... o_O

Not a fan of what Aimee wore at this promo event.... 囧!

"Wax and Wane" Theme Song MV


"Reunion" - Ron Ng

團圓 《團圓》 主題曲 - 吳卓羲

作曲: David Kong
填詞: 張美賢
編曲: Fergus Chow
監製: 鄧智偉

我說過 明晨風雨或天晴
伴你走 追索幸福這路徑
雖不固定 沿路欣賞優美風景
我與你 從前相約無憑證
鏗鏘歡笑與夜星 拼貼最好光景

前行什麼的試煉 讓滄海變做桑田
任世間驟變 我的將來已留位置 跟你說舊年
成全未改的志願 曾離別過相信可團圓
無論心底的理想 有多遠

我聽說 難求一切是公平
伴你走追索幸福要耐性
不信命 仍是真心等你給反應
我見過 前頭懸崖和絕嶺
跨出邊界與絕境
便成熟了 交出了真誠 擦亮眼睛

前行什麼的試煉 讓滄海變做桑田
任世間驟變 我的將來已留位置 跟你話當年
成全未改的志願 曾離別過相信可團圓
留在心底的理想 誰也未變

前行什麼的試煉 讓滄海變做桑田
任世間驟變 我的將來已留位置 跟你話當年
成全未改的志願 曾離別過相信可團圓
來讓心底的理想 實現 到哪地哪天
只知道 熱燙的心仍未變

"The Other Truth" Opening Theme Video


"Hidden" - Ryan Lau

潛伏 《真相》 主題曲 - 劉威煌

作曲/編曲: 葉肇中
填詞: 鄭櫻綸

場地配人選與事情 前後配合給你合適的反應
潛伏眼淚掩蓋實情 誰犯錯誰都會辯駁擾人視聽
有一雙眼做證 錯覺作弄眼睛 誰看清

記憶各種層次 連貫著更多懷疑
猶豫像不止 將傷痛劃破展示
哪一層次 情結讓痛苦蔓延
誰又在飾演 真相交錯未顯現
內心的碎片 沒有誰看見

Personal Note: Enjoyed the first episode, so it's off to a nice start. :)

As expected, Ruco is quite charismatic in this leading role, and he speaks in a clear and well-paced manner while he is in court. Like how his character has a lighthearted side to him outside of court as well (e.g., poking fun at the 'clock' gift). Funny how he was jogging on a non-moving treadmill.... :P Also enjoyed his scenes with Louise. :)

Nice to see that Tavia has a more independent and mature role here. During the court scene, it looked as though she was speaking her lines with a lisp, but didn't find that she delivered her lines with a lisp, although she was indeed much clearer in her other scenes.

Tavia Yeung Attends New Series' Promotional Event: Ruco Chan Complains About Not Having Intimate Scenes with Her

Bob Lam: "For example, kiss scenes, intimate scenes...."

Ruco Chan: "Perhaps...."

Tavia Yeung: "Thinking too much.... Thinking too much...."

Ruco Chan: "Hear that? In this series, I really.... Tavia won't let me kiss [her]. I only kissed her on the forehead once. I really wanted to kiss her".

Tavia Yeung: "Forced to kiss...."

Natalie Tong: "You weren't willing...."

Bob Lam: "It wasn't required in the script?"

Tavia Yeung: "I told him to kiss me on the lips, but he forcefully kissed me on the forehead".

Ruco Chan: "We switched it around. Wanted to kiss her on the lips, but ended up kissing her on the forehead".

Tavia Yeung and Kenneth Ma Publicly Flirt

Bob Lam: "More intense with Ruco or Raymond [Wong]?"

Tavia Yeung: "I'm obviously more intense with Ruco!"

Kenneth Ma: "She's obviously more intense with me!"

Natalie Tong: "She's obviously more intense with me!"

Ruco Chan: "Look at so many people snatching Tavia.... Oh, well.... Oh, well...."

Tavia Yeung: "Don't make any noise!"

Kenneth Ma: "Weren't you more intense with me?"

Tavia Yeung: "Let me stand back in the centre".

Kenneth Ma: "Do you need me to sing to you again?"

Tavia Yeung: "No need to yet. Wait a moment. I think that we're more intense. Why? Because we created sparks. We had an elevator malfunction. There were sparks, causing us to have sparks, so I think that we're intense because can catch on fire at any moment".

Kenneth Ma: "You and I also have many sparks".

Ruco Chan: "Really okay!"

Natalie Tong: "This is the truth about what we filmed".

Kenneth Ma: "Quite cheeky...."

Natalie Tong Reveals That She and Kenneth Ma Have Bed Scene

Natalie Tong: "I have a bed scene".

Tavia Yeung: "Let the camera scan down for a moment. Very easy to get fractures from bed scenes".

Natalie Tong: "The truth is that the bed scenes are not...."

Tavia Yeung: "Very easy to get fractures".

Ruco Chan: "Come here!"

Bob Lam: "You are the male lead in the bed scene, right?"

Natalie Tong: "We're saying...."

Kenneth Ma: "What male lead in the bed scene?"

Bob Lam: "She said that you guys have a bed scene".

Kenneth Ma: "You're saying who with me?

Natalie Tong: "He's used to it. You're used to it".

Kenneth Ma: "You and I have a bed scene?"

Ruco Chan: "You have tried it with everyone, right...during filming?"

Tavia Yeung: "I'll let you guys stand in the centre. You guys are sandwiching me...it feels very enclosed!"

Kenneth Ma: "No, she and I...."

Ruco Chan: "You have had too many, so can't remember it".

Kenneth Ma: "She and I don't have a bed scene".

Natalie Tong: "Too many...."

Bob Lam: "Talking about in the series, not in reality".

Kenneth Ma: "In the series, there were no bed scenes".

Ruco Chan: "You said there was! Oh, she wants to have a bed scene with you".

Natalie Tong: "We had many bed...."

Tavia Yeung: "Are you trying to get some publicity right now?"

Natalie Tong: "There really was!"

Kenneth Ma: "In the shot, there was a bed. She and I were standing there".

TVB8 Clip






Personal Note: As Ruco mentioned in the TVB Weekly interview, he kissed Tavia when they were stuck in the elevator.

Ma Ming and Tavia are so cute...did not expect Tavia to do a kissy face, followed by Ma Ming returning the action. They complemented each other really well. :D Also loved everyone's reaction after they did that...so funny! :D

There are many scenes of Ma Ming singing in "Back to the Three Kingdoms", so that should be why he asked Tavia whether he needed to sing to her again.

點樣擺甫士 都有你嘅事

點解穿黑T 都引你注視
點樣不開口 都會有政治

誰在濫用氣勢 拎不起放不低
其實借題又發揮
誰在繼續跳舞 誰用美麗作弊
然後眾人被chok低
不講點開始 都有你嘅事

不講點終止 都會變錯事
不義一張紙 都引你注視
不想講FACE 都會有政治

Personal Note: Surprised that Ma Ming has a kiss scene even though he is only a guest star.... o_O Also not used to seeing Ma Ming and Natalie as a pair....

The forehead kiss that was shown in this MV should be the one that was mentioned by Ruco at the promo event. :)
