TVB artiste Ricco Ng has become widely familiar with the audience due to his role 'Chu Ling Ling' in the series "Lo and Behold". Recently, the series' 'hehe' plotline even brought him and his 'onsreen couple partnership' with Chow Ka Lok a chocolate commercial shoot. Ricco revealed that the two were very happy during the filming process, and even said that they were full of chemistry: "We see each other every day, so there is already nothing really special...ha ha! Definitely happy working with Ka Lok. Even better to have an opportunity to film a commercial together! There were a few shots that were creations that we put in ourselves; thus, we played happily! The Lunar New Year is approaching; Ricco expressed that he plans to accompany his family during the New Year: "Usually accompany my family during the New Year. A lot of dinners. Also have to make New Year visits and eat with my relatives".
Artistes Kenneth Ma and Ali Lee went to Kowloon Tong to attend a New Year's event. During this, Kenneth said to the MC, "I will walk a few hundred laps around the peach blossoms in my house. Started to want luck in love at the age of three".
After the event, the two were interviewed. The reporters asked Kenneth, who is dating, whether he wanted 'peach blossom luck'. He laughingly replied, "Certainly need it. Peach blossoms represent an affinity with others. Besides, my mom buys them every year. In this industry, certainly want more people to like you. Can have more pretty girls in series. (How about real life?) Can also!"
After hearing this, Ali immediately said, "Because of what you (Kenneth) said, I also want to put up some peach blossoms. An affinity with others is like youth...cannot lose it. (Then you have to get help from Mrs. Ma.) But I only know one Mrs. Ma's phone number (referring to Kenneth's girlfriend, Jacqueline Wong)!" After hearing this, Kenneth replied, "You are talking about Joe Ma's wife?)"
When Kenneth was asked whether he had plans to marry 'Mrs. Ma' in the Year of the Pig, he laughingly said, "No. Make money first. I am the poorest in TVB. A lot of expenses. Have to take care of my parents. (Saved up for a marriage fund?) Have saved up money...did not say that it was a marriage fund. However, I am now thinking of chipping in with my elder sister to buy a flat to take advantage of her first-time homebuyer discount". Ali immediately laughingly said that she had to learn about investing from Kenneth's elder sister: "I will also not be chipping in with him (boyfriend Danny Chan). A flat for each person, and get both discounts". Kenneth immediately said, "Have to look for my mom, and then also looking for my elder sister...then you pay my house a visit in the New Year!"

"The Coming of a Grandmaster Lion" Promotional Clip 2
Artistes Moses Chan and Natalie Tong filmed a ten-episode New Year's mini drama for TVB. The story talks about Moses and Natalie being the 'Guo Jing and Huang Rong' of the lion dance world. In order to make their naughty apprentice, 'Mr. Lion', become a dance expert, they decide to let him go out! Mr. Lion is actually the lion head of a lion dance, but he likes to slack off and has an exaggerated opinion of his own abilities though he is kindhearted. During the tumultuous journey, Mr. Lion goes through ups and downs; however, with the silent support of Moses and Natalie, he gradually embarks on the road of the lion king!
In the drama, apart from having to play the lion drum, Moses also became Master 'Ip Man', demonstrating the use of Wing Chun moves on a wooden dummy. With the addition of a snowy backdrop, the picture was beautiful, and it also made Moses exude the feeling of 'a master of a generation', with the eyes and the frame looking how they should look. Believe that he put in a lot of effort before filming.
Artiste Jessica Hsuan brought her three 'babies', Lok Lok, Moon, and Scooby, to attend an event, receiving cheers upon appearing. However, during pictures, it was difficult for Jessica to control the three dogs at once, so it was slightly all over the place. Jessica revealed that she just adopted seven-year-old Lok Lok for two months. Had a physical examination before bringing the dog home, and found that it had serious cancer. Was in stable condition after doing surgery on time. Now, would also feed it lingzhi and green tea to supplement, spending approximate $1,000 every month: "Scooby has a thyroid condition...also has to eat medicine every day, but it is just limited money. Luckily, someone adopted Lok Lok".
Tells Dogs: 'Mom Has to Make Money'
When asked whether she would be adopting even more 'furry babies', Jessica said 'no': "Cannot! Reached the limit! Had up to six back then. Adopting too many is also unfair to them...would divert one's attention". She mainly adopts middle-aged dogs, with the hope of letting them have a comfortable home in their lifetime: "Have adopted dogs for a long time, so know that I can handle their departure. (What do you do when you don't have the time to take care of them due to having to film?) Time is never enough. Always tell them that Mom has to make money".
Hopes That Foot Injury Recovers Within Five Months
Regarding the condition of her foot injury from twisting her left ankle, she expressed that she did go see a doctor...hope to be able to recover within five months because [she] has to start filming a movie: "Keep doing physical therapy. Now, have my foot wrapped up, but can move it okay. Apart from seeing that the foot is slightly swollen, not caring about it. Ha ha...."
She will be filming the movie version of "A Step into the Past" with good friend Louis Koo. Did she congratulate him for getting a grand slam in music, film, and television? Jessica laughingly revealed, "Did! He said that he has to sing for me! Making plans with a group of friends to celebrate with him. Even said that we like getting abused. (Filmed a clip?) Privately shared! Was quite happy. (Support him to sing again?) Do not support because know that singing is not his first choice. Okay if just playing".
Singer Leo Ku's MV for the new song 《亂世情侶》 released on the 8th. This time, former partner Nancy Wu was found to be the MV's female lead. The last time that the two collaborated was already 14 years ago. At the time, Nancy acted as the female lead for the MV of Leo's 《愛與誠》. Speaking of the past, they both highly praised each other for not changing at all. Leo said to Nancy, "A really special feeling. We were chatting before, and we both said that so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Thus, to be able invite you to film my MV again, I am extremely happy. Her series filming schedule is really busy...has not been the female lead in an MV for someone in a long time. Thus, here, I have to specially thank her. A lot of people's so-called 'flashbacks'...I think that us shooting an MV again is it".
The MV talks about a couple that is saving money for wedding plans. Each is respectively busy with work, causing troubles in their love life. The woman goes to the office and is frequently OT-ing; the man is a warehouse clerk who works the overnight shift. It seems as though they are planning for the future together but have actually forgotten the person beside them. In the end, Leo realizes this and runs to Nancy's company to find her...a touching ending. Leo said, "Planned for the future but forgot the present. Forgot the original meaning of the two coming together; thus, this song plus this story is a story that is greatly emotionally stirring in love". Nancy also said, "There is this situation not only in the office. Actually, also like this in the industry that we work in. No days and nights. Many important moments or, perhaps what the song says, that most important kind of relationship between people; in the process, the tight-knit feeling is lacking".
Filming in the office even brought back Nancy's memories from before she entered the industry: "I was a secretary for two years before entering the industry". Filming the MV this time is her 'comeback' project: "Haven't acted after completing a play last May! Thus, today is my first day of work...ha ha. Before, I also felt that it was time to pick it up again".
Leo even personally directed the MV. Every time a shot was done, he would watch the playback. Nancy said, "When [I] was listening to him talk in the car this morning, I already had a picture. Very moved. Perhaps it is because I have gotten older or perhaps had more experiences, would be really affected by these matters". Leo also did not forget to praise her first-rate acting skills: "There were many scenes that Nancy did in one take, and there were a few parts that I became teary-eyed while watching".
