作曲: 徐洛鏘
填詞: 楊熙
編曲: 徐洛鏘/Eagle Chan

若你做情人能像我 傻人才會放手吧
埋怨也沒用吧

Rock:很想得到的 但總得不到它
夢想都需要比比資格

按照自己的方法
現實角色未能 就調轉好嗎

合:身份也對調
戀曲也對換
要的都有吧
結果得到吧#

作曲/編曲/監製: C君
填詞: 農夫

喺呢個小島 點好 點都唔可以輸
點可以一街獅子鯊魚 得返你一隻豬
從來冇人會試下會關注 你撑唔撑得住
你志在參與 隨時連樓都冇得住
有捷徑 冇人性 公開嘅處世秘笈
最易教導細路 教到佢搵錢第一
最重要個個有金執 全世界thumbs up
冇人會怪你陰濕 淨係笑你太過老實
Ai 上落 買賣 對沖 計算到最完美
某日 某夜 某刻 我都諗起你
我 他 我哋大家
係咪得一串銀碼

在這個都市遊走 利益中萬人守候
只有 要夠富有先擁有
資格 在這裡逗留
Live in the city
It ain't that easy

Movie Director Helping TVB Out! Ron Ng and Joel Chan Increasing Workout to Be Strong PTUs

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

It is known that TVB will start filming a PTU-themed series at the end of June, with Chung Shu Kai, the executive producer of 'TVB New Wings', personally overseeing it. He revealed that, in order to make the series more cinematic, [they] have specially found Law Wing Cheong, the director of the movie "PTU", to assist in the shoot.

As for the cast, PTU certainly has to look for artistes with well-rounded acting skills and are physically fit to play the roles. It is known that the male leads have been decided to be Joel Chan, who has had a recent surge in popularity, is being pushed as this year's 'TV King', and is always very fit, along with Ron Ng, who has been mainly focusing on movies in recent years and can look the part and fight. In the series, they are playing PTU Sergeants, and there will be a lot of unexpected gunfights and big action scenes; it is definitely an extraordinary police series. When asked about the other candidates for the 'male elites', Chung Shu Kai frankly said, "We are still in the selection process. Want to find young actors who are cool, handsome, and muscular. Coming back this time, want to shoot a series with a strong cinematic feeling. This is also a future trend. Will later be looking for more movie directors and cinematographers to collaborate". In the series, there are also two female PTU characters. For the time being, TVB is still in the selection process. The candidates being considered include Natalie Tong, Katy Kung, Regina Ho, and Fiona Dai.

Joel and Ron flattered each other when they were interviewed by on.cc. Joel called Ron 'Big Brother', and [Ron] immediately pointed out that [Joel] is actually a 'senior'. Joel said, "I just received a notice from the company. Certainly very happy to be able to work with Ron. He is my son's godfather. Plus, he is mainly focusing on movies now; it is not easy to invite him to come back to TVB to film series. I have not worked with him in ten-plus years. We have matured now. Greatly looking forward to it. Hope that he looks out for me, this little brother! Godfather, look out for me!" Mentioning the collaboration with Director Law Wing Cheong, "He expressed, "I have not acted as a PTU before. Have certainly watched the movie 'PTU'...the movie is so famous! Actually don't know about the content and the script [of the new series] yet, and we don't know whom the female lead is yet!" He, who has a very fit physique, was asked whether he had to work out to become even fitter than now. He laughingly said, "Will definitely keep working out. Fortunately, there is still time for me to prepare. I will meet everyone in my fittest state. Director Law Wing Cheong is not shooting a movie...basically wouldn't be able to collaborate. It's so rare that Chung Shu Kai was able to invite him to come back for the shoot. I am already greatly looking forward to it. Really have to work extra hard".

In recent years, Ron has mainly shot movies, and was highly praised by his partners for his excellent action scenes. Since "Lord of Shanghai", he has not filmed a TVB series for many years. He said in an interview, "Really haven't filmed TVB series for many years. I only know that I'm working with Joel. Everything else is not known yet. Definitely have to work out though! (Joel is asking you to look out for him!) Wah! He is my senior. He is the one looking out for me!"

Natalie Tong and Regina Ho Are Both Considered Candidates

As for the female leads, 'TV Queen' Natalie and Katy have played fighter girls in series before. In particular, Katy fought remarkably in the series "Death by Zero" and won unanimous praise, while Natalie also showed her skills in "The Righteous Fists". Katy expressed that she had never worked with Ron before. As for acting as a female PTU, she said, "If the producer chooses me, would also be very thankful for his trust. Believe that this group will have a fresh feeling. Filming action scenes is no problem! Also trained again when filming 'Treasure of Destiny'. If really filming (action scenes) again, would also work out again to boost [my] stamina. I have never played this type of role before...feel that it is very challenging". Regina, who is also considered a candidate, had been admitted to a hospital for a tumour removal surgery earlier. She said, "I have fully recovered! But haven't received a notice from the company yet. Not clear about the details".

Yoyo Chen Looking Forward to Working with Ron Ng

Yoyo Chen is currently busy filming the new series "Happy Ever After?" as the lead, and is also shooting a Handover series at the same time. She will also be assigned a very interesting role in the new PTU series, but she said in an interview, "I have not received a notice yet! I rarely film this type of series. Even if [I] am not being a PTU member, but saying that the character is so interesting, I am looking forward to it even more, and I have also not worked with Ron before!"

"Barrack O'Karma 1968" Sub Song 3

This song (sung by Paisley Hu) is played in the 17th episode of "Barrack O'Karma 1968".


魂縈舊夢 《金宵大廈2》 插曲 - 胡蓓蔚

花落水流 春去無蹤
只剩下遍地醉人東風
桃花時節 露滴梧桐
那正是深閨話長情濃
青春一去 永不重逢
海角天涯 無影無蹤
燕飛蝶舞 各分西東
滿眼是春色酥人心胸

花落水流 春去無蹤
只剩下遍地醉人的東風
玫瑰般的美麗 夜鶯似的歌聲
都隨著無情的年華消逝
啊 我到那兒去尋找我往日的舊夢
祇剩下滿腹的辛酸 無限的苦痛

Mandy Wong and Benjamin Yuen Not Scared of Getting Bored of Collaborating for the Nth Time, Greedily Wants to Have Ruco Chan as Well

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVB will start filming the new series "Intimate Strangers" at the end of June. It is known that the male lead will be chosen between 'TV King' Ruco Chan and Benjamin Yuen; the female lead is Mandy Wong, and Kelly Cheung will also be taking part. Mandy, who is currently filming "The Assassin" in Hengdian, admitted that she has not received a notice from the company yet; however, regarding her two male partners, she admitted that she has collaborated with Benjamin too many times, at least 11 times, including "Tiger Cubs", "The Line Watchers", "Threesome", etc., and have played a couple up to six times. Mandy just co-starred with Ruco for the first time in "Secret Door" earlier, and the filming of this series has not been completed yet; the rest of the scenes will be filmed when she returns to Hong Kong.

Filming Series in Hengdian Is Not Tough

Talking about having to choose between Benjamin and Ruco, she laughingly said, "I am quite greedy. Definitely have chemistry with an old partner, and there would also be new sparks with a new partner, so my answer is a greedier one...why not both?!" She expressed that she still does not know about the plot...looking forward to whom her partners will be. Asked about the current filming situation in Hengdian, she said, "I have to film until June here. It is not too tough; thus, when there's time, I would exercise. Go to the gym at the hotel or go dance at a dance studio, and go to a café".

Regarding having the opportunity to collaborate with his 'old partner', Mandy, again, he expressed, "I think that we will have chemistry again. (Not bored of it?) Have not said that [I'm] bored of it or not. You are saying if there are new sparks? I think there are. Well, of course, I don't know what the viewers think of it, but I think that they would like it". He admitted that he has not received a notice from the company yet: "Actually, it is getting harder and harder to manage one's career. First of all, I would look at the script first. I will only film it if something good can be brought into play. Don't want to film for the sake of filming". Ruco expressed, "I also don't know yet. Have to wait for the company's arrangement. I'm also filming 'Secret Door' and a Handover series every day now!"

June Series 《我的燦爛》 "My Pride" Info

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

Temporary Chinese title: 《我的燦爛》
Pinyin title: Ngor Dik Chaan Laan
Temporary English title: "My Pride"
Producer: Patrick Kong
Episodes: 20

Cast: Jeannie Chan, Joel Chan, Moon Lau, Alex Fong Lik San, Hera Chan, Rebecca Zhu, Angel Chiang.

In the evening of April 1st, 2003, HKCEE examinee 'Tong Ka Po' (唐家寶) learned that the superstar Leslie Cheung committed suicide by jumping from a building. As a loyal fan, 'Po' went to mourn her idol with flowers. 'Po' meets her crush, 'Au Ka Ming' (區家明), and they start a conversation but get interrupted by her friends, 'Tong Yan' (唐昕), 'Lee Ching Yi' (李靜兒), and 'Lam Siu Mei' (林小美). That night, it was a mixed bag for 'Po': the idol she admired the most suddenly passed away, and the guy she has had a crush on for a long time spoke his first words to her. 'Po' begins to understand that the world may be so unpredictable......

'Po', 'Yan', 'Yi', and 'Mei' are good friends, proclaiming that they would stand by one another through anything and would never be separated. After the HKCEE results were released, 'Yan' became a top 9A student, while 'Yi' had average grades and voluntarily repeated a year. 'Mei', who had the worst grades, felt a sense of relief and decided to join the work force, while 'Po' went to the Sixth Form without a hitch at the school she was attending and dated 'Ming' during the summer holiday. 'Po' stood out in a campus belle competition held by a magazine, gaining the favour of many advertisers. While studying, [she] shot ads in her spare time to help out her family; however, her relationship with 'Ming' gradually drifted apart.....

Whenever the four friends encounter happy or bad things, they would gather at 「民記冰室」 to share and support one another. They never thought that, one day, they would turn against one another and go their separate ways for something that makes one toss and turn even more than money and guys: it was jealousy......
