Kenneth Ma Earning Quick Money as a Singer and Finds Himself Affordable, Laughingly Talks About His 'Dad' Role on Father's Day
Kenneth Ma, Tiffany Lau, Brian Chu, Rosita Kwok, et al. attended a promotional event for the series "The Airport Diary II" at the Central Pier today under the scorching sun.
Kenneth and Tiffany were interviewed together. Regarding the relatively short length of the series, only having ten episodes, Kenneth believes that that the most important thing is that viewers like it, laughingly saying that, if the response is good, [he] would be happy to film a third installment, but would have to ask the producer. Tiffany was in support of Kenneth's view, pointing out that the airport has many stories that could be continued. She said, "This subject matter can bring viewers a lot of little-known facts, such as passengers being unable to board the plane if they wear too many coats".
Kenneth revealed that filming these series has broadened his connections: "Met a lot of aiport staff and know about rest areas, and know to how handle different situations". Tiffany showcased her language skills in the series. She said that there was difficulty in the performance; if another sequel were filmed, she is willing to challenge learning more languages.
Kenneth has been having shows with Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho recently, announcing that they will be going to Huizhou in July, followed by Malaysia and Jiangmen. However, the trio has not come up with a name. He said, "Leaving it to Edwin to come up with a name; he has more ideas". He expressed that he has primarily been acting after many years in the industry. Recently, [he] is experiencing the life of a singer; working as a singer and an actor has its own fun aspects. He said, "I like to act. Can earn quick money as a singer, but not considered a lot. We are very cheap...very affordable. Being an actor is more strenuous, but it is also very enjoyable when a fun role is encountered. I would not recommend myself to sing series songs, as [I] am not a professional singer".
Kenneth revealed that he and his two partners will be releasing a new song together soon, hoping that everyone will look forward to to it. He laughingly said, "Edwin and Raymond would help me practice singing, forcing me to learn their songs. Luckily, don't have to film any series recently. I will practice hard. Think that it's quite fun and happy to work with a group of people".
Kenneth expressed that he would not neglect his wife, Roxanne Tong, even though he is having shows overseas. Would only invite her to go along on short and more comfortable trips. He said, "Last time, when [I] went to the US, didn't take my wife because [I] didn't want it to be hard for her. The round trip was a 30-hour flight, and the schedule was very rushed. Rehearsed after [we] arrived, finished the performance, and left". Today is Father's Day; asking him if he longs to be a father, he said, "Not yet. If there's good news, would announce it, but I have two cats...also considered a father".
