CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVB's classic time-travel comedy "A General, a Scholar and a Eunuch", starring Edwin Siu, Raymond Cho, and Matthew Ho, has enjoyed immense popularity since its 2017 broadcast. News recently circulated that a sequel is being filmed. Regarding this, the 'three male officials' personally confirmed filming the sequel in an exclusive interview with on.cc. Edwin specifically expressed his hope that TV king Kenneth Ma, whom he has been working seamlessly with recently, is able to join in: "Certainly happy! Really never thought about being able to revisit a series that I like so much after ten years. Of course, the three of us brothers will definitely continue our roles as male officials. Also looking forward to seeing which new actors are joining in. Of course, one of the actors [I] want most is Kenneth. Now, we have kept holding concerts and working seamlessly together; if he appears in the series, it would definitely be extremely spectacular. If that happens, we'll have worked seamlessly together from hosting and series to concerts! Very lucky".

Raymond Cho Revisits Past Work

As for Raymond, he said, "It has been nearly ten years since the previous installment aired. I also rewatched the entire series recently, hoping to recapture the feeling from back then. After all, the three of us are very close in private and have a lot of chemistry. Greatly looking forward to seeing what kind of new sparks the original cast will create this time around!" Matthew expressed, "Extremely looking forward to the three of us brothers reuniting and bringing laughter to everyone".

Kevin Tong, who is appearing in the sequel, uploaded a short video on social media the other day, openly showing the script for the 15th episode of "A General, a Scholar and a Eunuch II" and tagging Tony Chui and Andy Siu. The female lead will be a new addition. It is known that the sequel will continue time travelling and is commencing filming in October.

"War of Thorns" Becomes an Anniversary Series

Every year, TVB would arrange a grand production as its anniversary series to build hype leading up to its anniversary on November 19th. This year, apart from "This City Never Sleeps" (starring Julian Cheung, Ron Ng, Kelly Cheung, Samantha Ko, et al.), the other anniversary series is known to be "War of Thorns", starring Tavia Yeung and Lin Xia Wei! This series' cast is formidable; apart from the two TV queens, there are also three TV kings, Moses Chan, Kenneth Ma, and Ruco Chan. Although many netizens previously expressed dissatisfaction with TVB's frequent production of revenge-themed series, "War" mainly revolves the struggles of the entertainment industry, sisterly discord, and scheming. The story is about four good sisters, Lin Xia Wei, Kelly Fu, Elaine Yiu, and Judy Kwong, who fall under suspicion regarding the death of their former good friend, Yoyo Chen. Tavia, who plays Yoyo's bestie in the series, stages a comeback to execute a revenge plan, manipulating the women into turning against one another.

'Arch-rivals' Tavia and Lin Xia Wei are set to clash again following "Darkside of the Moon" in 2024. In a promotional clip that was released in a programme presentation earlier, there was a tear-filled confrontation between the two. There was also an intense scene where Kelly pulled Yoyo's hair. Elaine also had a lot of screen time, and there were multiple scenes of being humiliated.

In an exclusive interview with on.cc, Tavia talked about "War" becoming an anniversary series. She happily said, "Yes! Will be meeting with everyone soon. I am also greatly looking forward to it. Actually, also cannot control when it releases, but certainly even happier to be able to air during the prime anniversary slot!" At the anniversary the year before, she won 'My Favourite TVB Actress in a Leading Role (Greater Bay Area)' for 'Yu Moon Yuet' in "Darkside" but missed out on TV queen. Asked if she hopes to vie for an award again with "War", she said, "Not thinking too much about awards. Right now, when filming series, hope to encounter a good script and land a good role; having the continued support of viewers is enough. As for other things, my mindset remains the same as always: do [my] best and leave it to fate".

Lin Xia Wei previously revealed that her role this time is vastly different from the one in "Darkside". She said in an interview, "Because 'Darkside' was very well-received. Very happy to work with Tavia again, but there was also some pressure because everyone would definitely make comparisons, so particularly nervous; however, I think that viewers will not be disappointed because the character this time is even more fun and challenging than last time. Could be said to be an evolved version. I am also greatly looking forward to it. Will definitely be working hard to promote it then. Hope that everyone sees a new side of [me]". Kenneth is extremely happy to collaborate with Tavia again in over ten years since "The Hippocratic Crush II"...believes that viewers share his anticipation for this nostalgic CP; he and Yvette Chan, whom he is collaborating with for the first time, also play father and daughter.

Ruco Chan Finally Has a Series Airing, Playing a Rich Second Generation and Fulfilling Dream of Driving a Supercar

Regarding "War" becoming an anniversary series, [Ruco] laughing said that he had 'waited a long time': "My character is mainly with new actors. Hope that there are some sparks. I have not worked with Tavia since 'The Other Truth', which was my first series as the male lead. Have also never officially collaborated with Moses...have more scenes together in this series". He also pointed out that he was very happy to drive a supercar when filming this series: "Had wanted to for many years, and finally had the chance. This time, I am playing a rich second generation. Hope that everyone likes seeing a side of [me] that has not been seen before". His last aired series was already "The Queen of Castle". He laughingly said, "Did not have much screen time in that one. Have a lot in this one. Also very happy to meet with everyone with another series!"

Kenneth Ma Gets 'Tuned' by His Wife to Learn the Art of Romance and Create Surprises

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

TVB Clip

Kenneth Ma has steadily built his career, taking one solid step at a time to reach his current first-line position; he has also approached his love life at his own pace, eventually finding the right person. He and Roxanne Tong tied the knot in 2023; three years into marriage, Kenneth still looks sweet when talking about his wife, expressing, "She also always makes me very sweet".

"My wife is very funny. She really has a flair for performing. Is always doing things that are very funny in front of me, like she would suddenly imitate people and imitate voices...sometimes imitating the expressions of [our] two cats. I also think that her impressions are spot-on. However, perhaps the roles that TVB gives her are those of pretty girls and innocent people...has not encountered a role that is suitable for her to play yet, so she has not showcased this side".

He frankly said that there has not been a great change since getting married, as he and his wife are both homebodies who enjoy the time spent at home. However, there would bound to be a period of adjustment when two people are getting along with one another, which Kenneth says is a normal thing; the key is mutual compromise, as 'love' leads to being unconsciously influenced by one another. "For instance, in the past, I never allowed anyone to eat in my car, but my wife really likes to eat in the vehicle...slowly made me feel that it's not a big deal".

[You] reveal [your] truest emotions to the person closest to [you]. Kenneth frankly said that he and his wife have certainly quarrelled; however, at a certain point, they would both stop and take some time to cool off.

"Once the heat of the moment passes, we would talk discuss the matter again. We are both that kind of person. When talking about it again afterward, they turn out to be trivial matters; thus, as long as you calm down in that instant, not continue yelling, and not say words that hurt the other person, it'll quickly be all right".

He said that they would both cajole the other: "Sometimes my wife gets a bit temperamental, and she would apologize to me afterward. Other times, the guy loses [his] temper and overreacts to trivial things; I would also apologize".

The pragmatic Kenneth has never been associated with 'romance' in the past; the him now, in order to make his wife smile, the naturally blank [person] has also learned the art of romance and how to create surprises: "I'm not really the type of person who makes a big deal out of special occasions. Have gradually learned to do so now. Give her a surprise every now and then. Have found some things to give to her that she did not expect, and she was also delightfully surprised".

He believes that romance is built through the little things in life, not necessarily requiring extravagant surprises. "The things that she's mentioned or [her] personal habits...you naturally accommodate her, and she already finds it really romantic. Of course, also have to have some occasionally, such as [our] wedding anniversary or her birthday...the guy also has to come up with some surprises".

"Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2026" is having its grand final tonight. Before the new top three winners are crowned, a red carpet ceremony was held. Kenneth Ma, who is making his debut as a Miss Hong Kong host, appeared alongside his good brothers, Edwin Siu, who was wearing a deep V, and Raymond Cho. When interviewed by the hosts, Kenneth repeatedly expressed his anxiety: "Being the host of Miss Hong Kong for the first time, I am very scared...legs are also shaking". Also pointed out that [he] has already prepared beforehand, which is the seeking-for-help look, asking Luk Ho Ming, who is experienced in hosting, to come to the rescue at any time.

When Kenneth, Edwin, and Raymond were interviewed again, Kenneth was still saying that he was nervous: "Just got back from completing a fan meeting in Mainland. Also did not have time to rehearse, so very nervous. Believe that [I] will still be feeling this nervous after completing the programme and getting home". Raymond shared the sentiment, saying, "More nerve-wracking than holding a concert". Also pointed out that Edwin has experience hosting Miss Kong, laughingly saying, "[If we] mess up this time, it'll be Edwin's fault". Edwin expressed, "The three of us are in this together--we sink or swim as one. Giving it our all. We're actually also very happy that the company has given the three of us such a big show. Doing it with apprehension and caution, but hope to be able to put on a good show!" Raymond also expressed his hope to perform very well. Asked if he had given his good brothers some tips, Edwin expressed that there was no need, as each of them also had his own showing point. For instance, for Kenneth, it is definitely the natural blankness, while Raymond frequently makes blunders; thus, everyone does not need to find it very strange. Edwin said that, because the three had just released the new song 《三生有幸》, even intially thought that [they] had been invited as guest performers for the Miss Hong Kong final. Asked if [they] would take the opportunity to sing a few words, he said, "Already need a while to memorize the script, how would [I] be able to remember the song lyrics, too?"

Mentioning that the three are responsible for asking the contestants questions during the swimsuit segment, the three immediately became excited. Kenneth jokingly said that Edwin had already been waiting for many years. Edwin inmediately expressed, "If not, would not do it (host)". Raymond also frankly said, "The most happy thing is this part!" The three also highly praised the 12 contestants for already displaying great charm during rehearsals, being more quick-witted than they are.

Did they tell their other halves after founding out that they had to host Miss Hong Kong? Edwin said that his wife trusts him, so would not be suspicious of them or say something to give them a hard time about it. Raymond jokingly said that he had not spoken to his wife since finding out. Kenneth expressed that he actually told his wife to not watch it...afraid of letting [her] see [his] blundering performance.

Kenneth also said that he would rather have dead air than say the wrong thing on stage because there are numerous executives present in the audience, causing Edwin to to say with added psychological pressure, "Was not nervous originally, but hearing him say that makes [me] nervous, too". As for Edwin's sexy look, he said that it was related to the Hong Kong contestants: "Everyone has also worked so hard to lose ten-plus pounds. I also cannot lose face. Have also been exercising for the past few weeks. Hope to unintentionally expose [myself]. Actually, the outfit was chosen by the designer; there was only one available". Kenneth also said that [he] did not have a choice in the matter; otherwise, would not have to act as a host, but it is also a happy matter. Edwin also said that he believes that this collaboration would definitely be a wonderful memory for them...even heard that there is a chance to collaborate again on a variety programme.

Regarding Tong Chun Chung coming back out, Kenneth pointed out that his father-in-law has always had commercial performances...simply has not filmed a series for a long time, and also said that, if he were to hold another concert, would consider inviting his father-in-law as a guest performer. However, his father-in-law is very busy...have to ask the elder about his wishes first. Finally, talking about Chantel Yiu, who had tried to send him a letter as a young fan when she was in primary school, Edwin said, "I only knew about it much later. If [I] had known sooner, she probably would have made her debut even earlier".

Kenneth Ma Nervous to the Point of Legs Shaking in Hosting Debut, Passes with 'Natural Blankness'

"Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2026" concluded successfully [tonight]. TV king Kenneth, who acted as one of the hosts for the first time, admitted before the show that he was so nervous that his legs were shaking; however, in the end, there were no major blunders, successfully completing the mission by using his signature 'natural blankness' on stage. After the show, Kenneth accepted an interview with his two partners, Edwin and Raymond. When Kenneth was asked to rate his performance, he said, "I don't dare to give [myself] a score. I am still memorizing 「轉頭見」 and 「出年見」!" Edwin and Raymond laughingly said that it felt as if a weight had been lifted from their shoulders, pointing out that there was no problem with Kenneth's performance. Edwin said, "It was okay. Actually, the three of us are often together. If one were missing, it would feel incomplete. Whether things go well or not, the three of us would also face it together". Raymond jokingly said, "If [you] even mess up saying 'see you in a bit' and 'see you next year', would actually have to get [your] contract terminated!"

Asked if [he] would consider hosting if the company invited [him] again next year, Kenneth laughingly said that the company likely would not consider it. Asked if the emcee script was tailored specifically for him, he said, "Definitely. They wrote the script to accommodate me. Definitely have to give credit to Luk Ho Ming and Leonard Cheng; they took all the tough, technical stuff. Next, it was Edwin and Raymond, and I got whatever was left over. Next time, what [I] hope for the most is that [they] leave me with a single word...ha ha".

Kenneth Ma Gets Wife's Green Light to 'Romance' Samantha Ko, Brilliantly Acts Out a Warm Guy, Vows to Be a Doting Dad Who Pampers His Daughter

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

stheadline Clip

Kenneth Ma has reunited with his good friend, Samantha Ko, in the series "Mrs. Revenge"; this onscreen couple has collaborated from "Go! Go! Go! Operation C9" and "The Airport Diary" to "The QUEEN of News". This time, in the series, Kenneth has transformed into a warm guy who watches over Samantha from afar. He expressed, "This time, the role is rather simple. Is a warm guy...is an exclusive angel to Samantha in the series. Perhaps her character is too pitiable, so the screenwriters arrranged for someone to go guard her". Asked if being a warm guy would be very difficult, Kenneth laughingly said that the character in the series is too perfect...may be very difficult to appear in real life: "Usually, if a good man is also good to every female in the series, he is a typical male lead. However, it's different this time. He is only good to Samantha; that's the character's most appealing part. He is the most faithful guy!"

In real life, Kenneth is known as a male artiste with zero negative comments. Asked about his most warm guy actions in his daily life, he laughingly said, "The most basic is having to take care of [my] family--the family with my mother and the family with my wife. A man has to support two households...it is a very natural thing. The most important thing is having a sense of responsibility; however, many males at TVB also have a sense of responsibility, such as Moses Chan, Ruco Chan, Shaun Tam, et al. Even Cheung Wing Hong, who plays the antagonist in the series, is a man who loves his wife".

Kenneth Ma Unlocks the Achievement of Zero Negative Comments

Talking of his frequent collaborations with Samantha, Kenneth laughingly said, "Samantha is the only female I do not need to report to my wife about when filming. She and Samantha are too familiar with one another. With other partners, would also mention it. It is only when collaborating with Samantha that my wife would say, 'No need to tell me. Just go ahead and film it!' Thus, I also do not worry about filming with Samantha on whatever acting project. She is the only female who has my wife's seal of approval". Kenneth laughingly said that, when he became familiar with [Roxanne] Tong, already knew that she and Samantha were extremely good friends: "They are good besties. Before my wife and I started [dating], the two of them had already discussed it and had asked each other's opinion". Kenneth also really wants to help his good friend, Samantha, find a partner: "However, it's extremely difficult because she is on too high of a level. Have to select very carefully for her. I am also anxious on her behalf!"

Kenneth Ma Refuses to Hold Solo Shows, Fears He Might 'Faint'

Kenneth has recently embarked on a singing career, holding shows everywhere with his good brothers, Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho. Singing from cities in Mainland to North America, the shows have been non-stop. However, as Edwin and Raymond are joining series productions soon, have to coordinate their schedules in order to be able to continue their singing journey: "Very happy to sing with them. There's no pressure when the three of us are on stage. If I had to sing over 20 songs alone on stage, would probably faint! There's actually no pressure with them. Furthermore, we are also very easygoing...don't fight over things. Sometimes have to push them to the centre spot. It also doesn't matter for a lot of things for us. As long as the three of us all look handsome, it's okay!"

Asking Kenneth if there were a chance he might perform solo, he immediately declined: "Would probably not for concerts! However, I am also preparing a fan meeting in Mainland. Was originally scheduled for Chengdu but got postponed due to venue issues!" After preparing in various locations, Kenneth is grateful to have built a fan base in Mainland, laughingly saying that the power of TVB series still exists: "Series have garnered a large audience. When we go to different places to work, everyone would also buy tickets to show his or her support...perhaps it is because it evokes memories of the series. The atmosphere is extremely good!"

Kenneth Ma Says That He Does Not Have a Singing Background

Kenneth laughingly said that he does not have a singing background; thus, the audience does not hold him to a high standard: "Before the first performance, Edwin was also a bit scared when he heard me sing, so he introduced a vocal coach to me". He also laughingly said that he has already improved and is able to feel the impact of concerts, as well as the earning power of this 'side gig'. Because of this, he also plans to continue with it. The three even released the collaborative song 《三生有幸》 to commemorate this friendship: "The lyrics are very meaningful, conveying that encountering every person who cherishes you in life is also a blessing and worth being grateful for". He also frankly said that many clips of his performances have been circulating on Xiaohongshu, attracting numerous job offers for him; thus, this time away from [filming] series is still rewarding.

Kenneth Ma Cherishes His Family Even More After the Pain of Losing His Father

Apart from singing, Kenneth is also devoting his time to his family: "My father passed away late last year, so also want to spend more time with my mother. My wife has a lot of ideas for daily activities, and I would help her carry them out, such as being the driver, etc. Ha ha!" There are more opportunities of being in each other's company, and there are frequent rumours that a good matter is near. Kenneth laughingly said, "It's a very normal thing...just like how it was speculated a few times when we were not married yet. Thanks to everyone for his or her concern. We are also leaving it to fate. (Pictured having children when you got married?) Have. My wife would worry about the issue of parenting. Instilling the right values is indeed quite difficult. When I watch the news, also find that it is quite difficult to raise children...ha ha! However, I am also confident that [we] are able to raise a child with the right values. Believe that it will require a significant investment of time". He admitted that he and his wife have a lot of topics on children: "My wife says that, if we have kids, I would definitely be an indulgent father, and she would be forced to be the 'bad cop'. Can't do anything about it. I feel that dads would also be like this. When I see Edwin with his son, his son would get whatever he wants. If it were a daughter, it would definitely be even more dangerous. Would even give [my] life to her...how could [I] have the heart to scold [her]?! Usually, the dad is the softie, while the mom would handle the discipline. I am very confident that my wife is able to become a reliable mother". As for whether they are actively trying for a baby, Kenneth is trying a 'let-nature-take-its-course' approach, choosing the most natural method to implement it.
