- Although the outline of the story is based on the previous blueprint, it is not entirely the same. The background of the story has been moved to Lau Fau Shan from Macau because Lau Fau Shan has retained the rural style, and the neighbourhood has a strong humane touch.
- The story background of the new version is set in the modern age with advanced technology. Deaf and mute people can speak and communicate with others by typing text into a phone; 'Chor Gor Gor' will use these technologies and retain the use of sign language to communicate with others.

Personal Note: The series is set in 2021, but everyone's styling was so old-fashioned.... o_O

It was previously reported that the character setup for 'Chu Sa Kiu' had been changed from 'Chor Gor Gor''s adoptive mother to his paternal grandmother, but Michelle was still being referred to as 'Aunt Q', and she did not have an aged up look....

Ha ha.... Steven was also asked about Joey succeeding his role!

Karl Ting Leading Goddesses to Film a Youth Series?

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

It is known that TVB will be filming a new youth series. The main actors of the series are aged 25 and under.

The male and female characters are full of freshness, including Karl Ting, Joey Thye, Kayan Yau, Tiffany Lau, Rosita Kwok, Krysella Wong, Niklas Lam, Alvin Ng, Fefe Tse, et al.

Regarding having the opportunity to lead in a youth series, Karl said, "Did go to a casting before. There were two or three scenes that [we] had to do, so [I] was very serious during the audition. I also specially did more homework. Hope that [I] can get the role. Apart from me, heard that many young actors auditioned; thus, the official result is not known yet. I am also really looking forward to it because the sparks that come out from a group of youngsters should be very happy".

Speaking of this series having many 'goddesses' taking part, including Joey, Kayan, Miss Hong Kongs, et al., he said after hearing this, "I also don't know which people are doing it yet, but would also be very happy if there is Joey because we worked together for a year in 'Liza's on Line'. (You do more variety programmes?) Yes! I indeed seldom shoot series, so it is also a challenge for me".

"Hong Kong Love Stories" producer Lam Hang clarified in an interview with a reporter from hk01, "It's not 'From Act to Act'. (But is it about the entertainment industry in the '80s?) It also is, but ours is a youthful, hot-blooded, and inspirational comedy of the '80s. The main actors are all under 25 years old. The actors should be confirmed in mid-January. For the time being, we expect to start filming in March".

"Hong Kong Love Stories" Being Made into a Trilogy

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

The hit series "Hong Kong Love Stories", starring Katy Kung, Joey Law, Brian Tse, Kayan Yau, et al., has been well-received critically and commercially. TVB is following it up with plans to start shooting a sequel with the original team. The new installment is being changed from the topic of buying a house to unemployment issues that everyone is worried about this year. Due to the blow of the COVID-19 pandemic, all walks of life are facing a crisis of going bankrupt, and working-class people are in dire straits; thus, the content of the sequel will be even more emotionally stirring! Allegedly, female lead Katy, who previously said that the bed scenes and kiss scenes have already reached her limit, will challenge even more intense scenes in the sequel.

Talking About Unemployment Issues, Even More Emotionally Stirring

"Hong" received a great response from the outside world. During an interview with on.cc, TVB Deputy General Manager Felix To frankly said that there is added confidence toward the filming of a sequel: "The viewing numbers on myTV SUPER have risen sharply. The momentum is very incredible...literally tripled!" Because the style of the series is mainly people's livelihood issues that everyone resonates with, TVB has decided to create a 'Hong Kong Trilogy'. The first installment talked about buying real estate, the sequel will talk about unemployment, and the third installment will talk about food, tentatively set to be 12 to 15 episodes for each installment, and shooting will start in the second quarter of this year. The sequel will use unemployment as its theme, with the content revolving around young people not only not having money to buy a house after the pandemic, but they also have to face having no work and living from hand to mouth. The characters do not hesitate to charge out for their livelihood, which is not only realistic but also emotionally stirring!

Katy, who had four series aired last year, is charging for 'TV Queen' with "Death by Zero"; plus, "Hong" is shooting a sequel with great momentum. When she was interviewed, she frankly said that she was happy: "As an actor, certainly happy that the first installment had such good results! I am also very confident in the team, the producer, and the company's creative work, so also greatly anticipating it! (Such incredible momentum may also end up helping you win this year's 'TV Queen'?) Really? Already very happy that I had four series released last year. The most satisfying is that the viewers like the characters I played. Also have even higher expectations for myself...must do even better in the future".

As for male lead Joey being asked about the upcoming sequel, he said, "Certainly happy if it's true! I'm also anxious to know how the script will go afterward and how each character's relationships and careers have developed. If filming again, I will be even more prepared. Hope to do even better than before...don't want to disappoint everyone". Producer Lam Hang, who is currently busy filming another series, said when talking about "Hong" filming a sequel, "We have not seriously discussed the details yet. Certainly happy that the audience's response was so good before. Hope that everyone will also like the different themes afterward".
