Kenneth Ma Leaks Secret Due to Being Covered in Cat Fur, Forced to Admit to Living with Roxanne Tong

Artiste Kenneth Ma appeared in Taikoo Shing today to attend a promotional event for "Big White Duel II". When reporters laughingly pointed out that he, who lives in Taikoo Shing, is at his 'home court' today, he initially said, "Yes. Walk a while and then would be back home". However, when reporters discovered that he was covered in cat fur, Kenneth said, "Actually, (girlfriend Roxanne) Tong and I have rented a unit in Tseung Kwan O. Would live there if rushing to film a series, and due to the pandemic, I'm also scared of spreading it my family, so having another place is safer. Roxanne has two cats there. (Living together?) You can say that".

Kenneth has been influenced by [Roxanne] and thinks that the pair of cats is clingy and adorable: "They would follow me to the bathroom. [When] we're watching TV, they would lie down beside [us]. Have caused me to also catch the cat virus. (Regard them as your children?) Actually, they are a married couple from different families. The male cat is approximately a year old, while the female cat is only a few months old".

When asked again about the matter of turning down a series, Kenneth clarified again, "Did not turn down the series. Actually very thankful to the company for being able to let me take the opportunity to go to make money during the release of 'Big'. Actually, every series would always first have a few actors in consideration. (How about really getting married at this time?) If there is good news, we will definitely say it. Roxanne is going to Australia soon for at least half a month, so the truth is that I have to stay home to take care of the cats".

Regarding the series having good ratings, he admitted to being overjoyed: "Didn't expect Hong Kong's ratings to still be so good despite having already broadcasted in Mainland. It's really encouraging".

Spoils Having Conflict at the End, No Effect on Relationship for High EQ Nancy Wu and Roger Kwok

TVB's currently airing series "Big" has been having good ratings. The cross-platform ratings of the first episode reached 21.1 points, and last night's live episode recorded a good result of 19.4, which uplifted those before the screen and behind the scenes. This afternoon, a group attended a promotional event, inviting patients with a rare disease who are members of the Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Association of Hong Kong to support the event and do exercises with the actors to improve their health. When members of the association spoke about their feelings about being ill and having successfully obtained government funding for targeted therapy drugs, Kelly Cheung was moved to tears.

Nancy Wu was later interviewed with Roger Kwok, frankly saying that she felt that filming the series this time was very meaningful: "It's no longer simply acting. Hope that, apart from watching the series, it makes the viewers think. That we are able to bring out positive energy and meaning is the purpose of this series". Roger expressed that, although there was no opportunity to contact the patients before the series started filming, they constantly looked online for clips as reference to understand their daily lives, mentality, and the various problems they faced.

The following plot will explain that Nancy, who wants to set up a drug research and development centre, and Roger, who intends for an open drug formulary, are in opposition with one another due to their differing opinions; the relationship becomes more and more tense. The reporters joked about whether they were shot really hating one another, Nancy said, "Well, would not. Our intelligence and EQ are very high". Roger expressed that he begins to expose that Nancy previously performed illegal surgery and other things on her ex-boyfriend, telling viewers to continue to show their support. Nancy expressed, "Although it has already finished broadcasting in Mainland, I am the same as the Hong Kong viewers...chasing it episode by episode. It feels more intense".

舊日每天　就在記憶中遠飄
逝去段段年月　日後全沒重要
過後記住是你的臉　無窮夜裡記念

Kenneth Ma Rumoured to Have Good News Approaching and Is Unable to Accept New Series, Joe Ma Making a Comeback as the Fourth Choice

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

TVB series have been receiving ordinary ratings in the past six months, even changing the focus on the release of ratings results the other day such that a lot of the ratings points will not be announced. Previously, "Stranger Anniversary", starring Joe Ma and Roxanne Tong, was condensed by TVB from its original 25 episodes to 20 episodes and had an early finale in order to go against ViuTV's "Inevitable"; the full version was arranged to broadcast on myTV SUPER afterward. At the time, some netizens criticized it as being a pity, and believed that the actors' efforts were wasted. Joe, who played two characters in the series, had it the worst, as the role difficulty was high, and his performance was also on point. At the time, he was asked whether he was disappointed with this arrangement, and he also simply responded, 'people know the warmth or coolness of water after drinking it', saying that there are always highs and lows in life.

Ruco Chan Goes Up North, Benjamin Yuen Busy Releasing an Album

However, this matter has not been a blow to Joe, as he will start filming the new series "Goodbye, Bed Partner" with Mandy Wong and Kelly Cheung next month. Originally, there were intentions to find Ruco Chan, Benjamin Yuen, and Kenneth Ma for this role, but Ruco is currently filming the new series "Hong Kong People in Beijing" with Jinny Ng in Mainland, while Benjamin has also signed with a record company; he will be releasing an album and is busy with its production. As for Kenneth, who was always filming one series after another earlier and was bled dry and drained by TVB, is unable to do it because he has other jobs.

Joe's attitude was quite positive when he accepted an interview, and pointed out that he has always faced things with a normal heart. When asked if he has been traumatized and under pressure due to "Stranger" ending early previously, he said, "Actually, I quite like the theme of 'Stranger'. It was also a new attempt and breakthrough in my performing arts work because my characters have always leaned toward tough and uniform style. The ratings of 'Stranger' were not ideal, but under the current environment, the ratings of most of the series are almost the same. I also responded before...have always faced it with 'a normal heart is the way', but very grateful that the feedback was good. During the broadcast, a lot of friends and viewers also liked it and cheered for us". He also pointed out that the script this time is extremely suspenseful and exciting with a high binge-watchability. There is a lot of foreshadowing, mainly depicting the weaknesses of human nature! He said, "I am looking forward to it very much, and the first time I worked with Mandy was almost 14 or 15 years ago in 'When Easterly Showers Fall on the Sunny West'. There weren't that many partnering scenes; however, at the time, already felt that she stood out very much. Later, worked together again in 'Tiger Cubs', but it was mostly group scenes. Fortunate to have many partnering scenes this time. Believe that there will definitely be sparks".

As for Kenneth not being able to film "Goodbye", and his girlfriend, Roxanne, saying when she attended a wedding event last month that marriage could be carefully considered as the pandemic situation has subsided, one cannot help but think that good news is approaching for the two. However, when asking Kenneth for confirmation, he immediately laughingly said, "Certainly not so! Everyone has too much of an imagination! Actually, I have also not heard of the (new series') story. The company also has not officially said that [they] are asking me to do it. I also really want to collaborate with Mandy again. Hope to have a chance next time!"

Mandy Wong in Search of Lost Memories

Female lead Mandy said in an interview that she had not worked with Joe in a long time; there is a freshness partnering this time. She said, "'When', which was more than ten years ago, was my first series after entering the industry. He really is a good senior. This time, the story talks about going from a mentor-mentee relationship to a married couple. It feels very different from the past. I have also not collaborated with a lot of the people in the series, so greatly looking forward to it". This time, she is playing a character with amnesia again. In the series, because [she] lost seven years of memories, [she] has always been trying to find [her] past experiences. Talking about frequently having to play such emotionally charged roles, she said, "This one is not considered heavy! Instead, will have some lighthearted plots, and there is also an opportunity to start a new romance".

Kelly Cheung Gets Hair Extensions for Love Triangle

Recently, to prepare for the filming of "Goodbye", Kelly specially got hair extensions. When interviewed, Kelly frankly said that the hair change was an opinion given by the producer: "Actually, I like short hair and long hair, but the producer wants me to have long hair to match the role. In the series, I am Joe's current girlfriend, while Mandy is his ex-wife. Mandy's sudden appearance causes a lot of things to happen among the three of us". She also said that she has not collaborated with Joe and Mandy for many years. The previous collaborations were already "Life on the Line" and "Law dis-Order", so quite looking forward to it.

"Big White Duel II" Criticized for Sensationalism After Mainland Broadcast, Roger Kwok Praises Subject Matter as Being Worthy of Attention, Natalie Tong Says That Viewers Have Not Understood the Character's Pain

Roger Kwok, Natalie Tong, Moses Chan, Kelly Cheung, Kenneth Ma, Nancy Wu, et al. attended the premiere event of TVB's new series, "Big White Duel II", at a mall in Diamond Hill the night before.

Regarding it being said that "Big II" is inferior and not as good to watch as its first installment, Roger expressed that it was a matter of opinion. This installment discusses the issue of an open drug formulary, which is worth paying attention to; many people may not feel that it is related to them. He stars in "Communion" and "Big II", which are occupying two time slots. Roger said, "I am rarely in the situation where I am competing with myself. Hope that the viewers stay and watch me for two hours. The ratings of 'Communion' were close to 20 points last week. Hope that the ratings of the two time slots will increase. Have confidence in 'Big II'".

Wife Cindy Au Bans the Filming of Intimate Scenes

Roger plays a couple with Kelly in the seeies, joking that his wife, Cindy Au, does not allow the filming of intimate scenes, so [he] and Kelly have a romance with their eyes, and it was already overflowing with love. [He] especially likes the two's wedding scene; Kelly did not wear high heels for him. Kelly's long-haired look has received the praise of netizens as the return of a goddess. She thinks that [she] is a goddess whether [she has] long hair or short hair. Regarding it being said that it was lacking as Ali Lee did not perform in the second installment, Kelly said, "She was mentioned in the dialogue. It's an open ending".

Surprised That Viewers Focused on Romantic Storylines

Regarding the alleged dislike for the dramatic personality change in her character in this installment, Natalie said that she understands that viewers have not understood the pain of a woman losing her baby twice, so [she] does not want to face her other half, which has made [them] think that the character is unlikable. "I have a friend who had this experience before; thus, after looking at the script, [I] really understood the character's feelings. Did put [my] friend's views and feelings into the character. Understand that viewers really want 'So Yi' and 'Tong Ming' (played by Kenneth) to get married. Would be extremely disappointed about losing this hope".

Regarding the complaints about the complicated romantic storylines in the series, Moses believes that there are many actors, so there would naturally be many romantic storylines. There were many professional doctors assisting during filming. It is surprising that viewers put the focus on the romantic storylines. "I think that it was filmed quite well. Used a lot of music and atmospheric packaging, which resonates with people somewhat".

Moses Chan Encouraging Swimsuit for Natalie Tong to Celebrate Good Ratings

Moses wore a linen shirt, and his body could be faintly seen. [He] laughingly said that it was not intentional, but [he] has to do [his] best to increase the ratings. If the ratings are good, will tell Natalie to wear a swimsuit to celebrate. Natalie expressed having to give the responsibility of being sexy to Moses, and wanted to see Moses only wearing bike shorts to celebrate. Moses expressed having gotten a lot more muscular recently, as [he] is getting fit for the new series in which he is working with his wife, Aimee Chan. "[My] wife has been training very hard...almost has six-pack abs. I also have to have some things to see".

Brian Tse Partnering Danny Hung as the First Male Leads After Being in the Industry for 12 Years, Having a Divine Romance with Erica Chan

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVB artistes Brian Tse and Danny Hung have never acted as the male lead in TVB series. Brian, who has been in the industry for 12 years, is finally getting a taste of his wish, partnering Danny, who has been in the industry for five years, as the first male leads. The two will soon film the company's new lighthearted comedy set in the early Republic. The female lead is Erica Chan, who is currently being promoted and having one series after another.

Brian is playing a deity in the series. He, who is playing the first male lead for the first time, frankly said that he is not under much pressure. He said in an interview, "Have filmed a few series set in the early Republic before, such as 'All That Is Bitter Is Sweet' and 'Handmaidens United', but have never collaborated with all of this time's partners before. (You are a senior though?) Ha ha! Am an actor with experience. Now, the company is also guiding and supporting a lot of the new generation, which is also a good thing, but really do want to work with actors who are younger than I am and create new sparks. (Is there really no pressure?) No! The most important thing is just working hard to do the role well!"

Speaking of playing gloomy and sinister characters in most of his previous series, such as "Death by Zero", "Murder Diary", and "Barrack O'Karma 1968", he said, "Yes. For the previous [series], really killed people to the point that it has gotten boring. It is the time to be an upright character again. Also want to let the viewers see my happy and playful side". This series has dual first male leads. When asked if he would be fighting with Danny for screentime, Brian expressed that he would not...just looking forward to creating new sparks with everyone. He also pointed out that the happiest thing this time is being able to work with Wai Ka Hung: "I love him so much. Really very happy to work with him".

As for Danny, he frankly said that he is very happy to have a share in being the male lead. He said, "Also went back to see the producer before because being the male lead is my goal. Also very grateful. Very thankful to the company for giving an opportunity to me, this newcomer. This year is my fifth year of being in the industry. I will regard this year as the start of [my] first year. Study hard, be a good person first, and then act well, and focus on doing my own work well. Will not be concerned of other things for the time being". He also pointed out that the character this time is happy. Meet Brian, who plays a deity, in the story and experience emotions together. We support each other and grow up: "Have never really collaborated with Brian before, but we have gamed and eaten with each other. He is a very nice person who greatly adores his juniors. I also hope to learn from him and do an exchange with one another. Will be nervous about being the lead, especially since this [series] is not modern and is a series set in the early Republic. There is definitely some pressure, but I will regard it as motivation. Work my hardest to act well, experience the role, and study hard". He is currently working with Erica on filming "Let Me Take Your Pulse". He said, "We are filming very happily. Hope that we will have more scenes together in this upcoming [series]. Can hone each other's acting skills, encourage one another, and grow".

Erica revealed that her character in the series is only 18 years old, and is even a prostitute in a brothel: "This is a lighthearted comedy. Also quite interesting. Talks about me getting sold to a brothel. In the middle, a lot of interesting things happen with Danny and Brian, but the both of them also like me; there will be a triangular relationship. The last time I filmed an early Republic [series] was when I was training. I haven't officially been a character in the early Republic. Really very excited, but I think that I will have to work on my body language and dialogue. I myself am cruder, so have to have some femininity back".

Stephen Wong is playing a major villain in the series this time with quite a bit to work with and is very different from the two male leads: "The character goes from being upright to evil. I also haven't acted as an antagonist for many years; it has already been six or seven years since 'Captain of Destiny' and 'Dead Wrong'. (This time, it is still the juniors being the leads!) It doesn't matter. Will do whatever the company assigns. Roles are not divided into big and small. The most important is just doing it well!"
