《72家租客》"72 Tenants of Prosperity" Trailer

"A CNY movie with no kelefes!"

02.11.10

Personal Note: Like I've said before, Eric Tsang sure did play his 'friendship cards' to film this movie. There are many big star cameo appearances in here. Eric invited Kelly Chen, too! :D

But, I have a feeling that this movie is going to be 胡鬧 and 無聊. I don't think I should be putting so much expectation on it. I know Stephy Tang is a fave of Patrick Kong (one of the directors) , but TVB has so many fa dans, why would Stephy get a starring role? I believe I have answered my question!

TVB Artistes Names Referred by Netizens

When surfing discussion forums, I've noticed that netizens may refer to some TVB artistes with code names. I do not mean something as simple as nicknames, but these are actually something like using a secret code. Now, some are very evident as to why netizens would refer to them using these names, but Mainland netizens may use different code names compared to the HK netizens, as the codes may sound different when used in a Mandarin dialect or a Cantonese dialect.

Off the top of my head, I can think of these codes names used by HK and Mainland netizens:

SS = Charmaine Sheh (佘佘 Sheh Sheh)

YY = Tavia Yeung (Initials of 楊怡 in Cantonese 'Yeung Yi' and in Mandarin 'Yang Yi')

Z3 = Kate Tsui (子珊 in Mandarin 'Zi Shan' and 珊 sounds like 3 in Mandarin)

33 = Flora Chan (珊 sounds like 3 in Mandarin)

OO = Jessica Hsuan (萱萱 in Cantonese 'Huen Huen' sounds like two circles)

KK = Kenix Kwok (Initials 'KK')

X2/胡囧囧 = Myolie Wu (杏兒 in Mandarin 'Xing Er' and 兒 sounds like 2 in Mandarin. 胡囧囧 because of how her facial expression looks when she cries)

二小姐 (Second Miss) = Maggie Cheung (Maggie is the second of four girls in her family)

B2 = Bernice Liu (碧兒 in Mandarin 'Bi Er' and 兒 sounds like 2 in Mandarin)

MO = Moses Chan

YO = Yoyo Mung

47J = Louise Lee (司棋姐 in Mandarin 'Si Qi Jie' sounds like 4 and 7 in Mandarin)

47M = Shirley Yeung (思琦妹 in Mandarin 'Si Qi Mei' sounds like 4 and 7 in Mandarin)

KC = Kevin Cheng (Initials 'KC')

小獅 (Little Lion) = Selena Li (詩 in Mandarin 'Shi' sounds like 'lion' 獅 in Mandarin)

++/包子 (嘉嘉/Bun) = Linda Chung (嘉嘉 in Cantonese and in Mandarin sounds like ++)

46 = Fala Chen (Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do)

大小姐 (First Miss) = Nancy Wu

少爺 (Young Master) = Raymond Lam (Crew members started calling Raymond 少爺 because they heard Sammul Chan call him that)

吳唱K/肉肉 (Doesn't Sing K/Meat Meat) = Ron Ng (Sammul Chan was the first one to call Ron 吳唱K as it sounds like 吳卓羲 in Cantonese)

大馬 (Big Horse) = Joe Ma

中馬 (Medium Horse) = Steven Ma

小馬 (Small Horse) = Kenneth Ma
(There are 3 siu sangs in TVB with the surname 馬, so netizens arranged the 'sizes' according to age)

美人 (Beauty) = Melissa Ng (美珩 in Cantonese sounds like 美人)

胖胖 (Chubby) = Bobby Au Yeung (胖胖 because of Bobby's figure)

黃牛哥哥 (Yellow Ox Brother) = Kenny Wong

苗苗 (Seedling) = Sammul Chan (苗 'miu' as in the 'mul' in his name 'Sammul', as people pronounce his name as 'Sam-Miu')

撈家 (A gainer) = Gallen Lo (羅嘉 in English 'Loh Ga')

會長 (President) = Maggie Shiu

主席 (Chairwoman) = Sheren Tang

Others:

771 = Jonathan Chik Kei Yi (戚其義 in Mandarin 'Qi Qi Yi' sounds like 7, 7, and 1)
620 = Virginia Lok (樂易玲 in Cantonese sounds like 6, 2, and 0)

Netizens also like to use GG, JJ, and MM to refer to artistes by age.

GG = (哥哥) Older brother
JJ = (姐姐) Older sister
MM = (妹妹) Younger sister

For example, 馬GG is referring to Joe Ma and SunnyGG is referring to Sunny Chan.

There are many more, so I will add to the list when I can remember or when I come across more code names.

Selena Li @ TVB Blog - 2010 Countdown Show

Visit Selena Li's TVB blog for more pics!

Happy New Year everyone!! On new year’s eve, I did a count down show with Tse Tin Wah and Fala Chen (hope I spelled their names correctly…haha) at Tseung Kwan O. There was alot of people there counting down with us!! The entire mall area was full of audiences and everyone was making alot of noise, fun and happy noise! So I had a really good time. I sang a song and played some games. In previous years, I always did count down shows in either Macau or mainland China, and this year is my first year in Hong Kong. I wish everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2010!! Thank you all for your support!! =)

Personal Note: Nope, Selena has spelled their names right! ;P

FYI: Fala said that she will start filming "Can't Buy Me Love" on the 6th. :)

Selena Li Says Her Fate with Patrick Tang Has Reached an End

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

Selena Li, who attended a countdown show, just finished her studies in Canada, and her graduation ceremony will take place in June. Asking her if her boyfriend will attend, Selena unexpectedly said, "Which boyfriend? (Patrick Tang.) I am single! (Very sweet before?) I never admitted to it. (What's your relationship with him?) Will only be friends; there will be no other developments!"

When asked when Patrick's status became demoted to friendship, she was still unwilling to disclose, as she said. "It's always been! Right now, I am accepting pursuers. But he is a good man; I hope he finds a suitable person. (If he's a good man, why don't you accept him?) You can't just accept; you have to be compatible. [Our] fate has already reached an end".

Reporters phoned Patrick to ask him about the breakup, he said. "I can only say that there is less contact. I never publicly announced that we were dating. (Selena says that she is single?) I am also. (Wish each other well?) Of course! Hope that everything will be good in the new year".

Personal Note: Selena was very 決絕! Even though Selena had never admitted to their relationship, it seemed as though it was an open secret that they were a couple. They are only friends now.

It is a good thing to start off the new year with a fresh new start. I wish Selena happiness! :)
