- The series is expected to be completed in early December.
- The series is adding a lot of AI special effects, replacing the need for wirework and wall-busting scenes.
- The story talks about the three male officials going back to the past, sharing their modern knowledge to the emperor. Unfortunately, the emperor is skeptical about this, and the treacherous officials accuse them of spreading fallacies to deceive people, throwing them into the imperial prison. Later, an unusual celestial event opens a portal in time and space, transporting the three male officials back to the modern world.
- The three male officials will join a tech company; in addition to restructuring the company and weighing whether or not to return to the past, they must also deal with the attack of Mat Yeung, who also came from the ancient times.
- Edwin Siu will continue to play 「袁都尉」. He has a romantic storyline with Winki Lai.
- Raymond Cho will play the serious and stern 「左待朗」. His scenes focus more on familial bonds.
- Matthew Ho will continue to play 「小李子」, who has exceptional culinary skills. He will have a male-male subplot.
- Joey Thye will play the unruly Yongning Princess who is also brought to the modern world; her arrival in the modern world leads to a series of amusing incidents. She makes people love and hate her. Her character holds the highest status, allowing her to order the three senior officials around. She is useless; she mostly just hangs around the three of them, bossing them around. She is responsible for the comedy, as the three male officals have already gone to the present day and are no longer easily fazed by things. She, on the other hand, is experiencing time travel for the first time, so she is incredibly curious about everything and ends up doing all sorts of silly things. She has a romantic storyline with Jazz Lam.
- Winki will play a beer girl with a righteous personality. A romance blossoms after Edwin moves into her home. She has a romantic bicycle scene with Edwin; the script called for him to hold onto her shirt while riding on the back, but he ended up grabbing onto her hair, just like holding the reins while riding a horse.
- Jazz will play the kindhearted and silly elder brother of Archie Sin. He is the source of much of the comedy in the series.
- Archie will play the second son of a tech company. He is an AI expert who holds the key to whether the three male officals are able to return to the ancient times. He has many emotionally charged scenes.
- Mat will play Wang Kang (王康), who travelled from the ancient times to the modern day. His sole mission is to hunt down the three male officials. He is a fierce, menacing villain, but the three are not afraid of him at all. In the middle, he becomes a triad boss, a master who kills without leaving a trace. He has many action scenes. He does not have comedic scenes.
- Wai Ka Hung will continue to play Wan Wai Tai (溫偉泰).
- Irina Tang will play Winki's colleague at the bar where they work.
- Chloe Leung will play a bar promoter who is one of the members of a team. She has a rather proactive and strong personality and has a bit of a mean style. She is Winki's colleague at the bar where they work.

Ron Ng Seeks Change to Avoid Getting Eliminated, Dubs Julian Cheung a Resourceful Strategist

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

When interviewed, artiste Ron Ng frequently spoke of 'change', expressing his willingness to change to cater to the rapid shifts in the entertainment industry. This includes his recent first-time collaboration with Lin Xia Wei, filming the series "Game of Fame and Fortune", with 20-minute episodes in Mainland. However, sometimes plans fail to keep up with change; for instance, in the series "This City Never Sleeps", which he takes part in, the original plot had a 'battle of villains' among the father and sons, him, Julian Cheung, and John Chiang...already found the premise very fun. However, it was abruptly halted after filming commenced. Due to various reasons, could only revise the script. Ron, who 'turned over a new leaf', admitted, "After hearing the news, [found] it a great pity. Had already come up with so many things to prepare to add into the character's setup. Afterward, could only change it to Kelly [Cheung] being 'bad' in place of me!"

Asked if he had ever considered quitting the project because of this, he quipped, "Had already spent a good chunk of [my] paycheck. How could [I] dare to not do it? Ha ha! Actually, the producer, Joe Chan, approached me first. Knowing that there was Julian made it even better. He's my top choice [as a partner]". It is no wonder that, when asked if his connection with Kelly was the biggest takeaway from this project, he immediately dismissed the idea: "It's definitely Julian Cheung!" His bond with Julian began 14 years ago while filming the series "Triumph in the Skies II", later reuniting for a variety programme as the 'Greater Bay Boys'. Ron laughingly said, "This person has a lot of ideas...is a true stategist. Has a lot of ideas. Really wanted to film another series with him, but ended up waiting for 14 years".

Mentioning his rumoured girlfriend, Kelly, Ron highly praised her for being 'clever and a natural for this industry'. However, when pressed further, he immediately shut down the line of questioning: "Give us some space!". He added, "The outside is not interested in knowing! (Many fans want to know.) But I don't want to talk about it...ha ha! (Admire her?) If [I] didn't admire her, how could she be my wife in the series? (How about in real life?) Done talking!"

Back then, Louis Koo recommended that Ron transition from a dancer to an artiste under a management contract with TVB. His career path appeared smooth from then on, but he revealed, "With a management contract, could receive a salary advance. In the first year of [my] contract, I did not earn enough to cover [my] advance, so [I] got hauled in for a scolding by management. I asked them back, "What kind of contract did I actually sign? [If] the company doesn't sell me, how am I supposed to generate any income?' Thankfully, things started to pick up from the following year!" Filming series often meant working long, grueling hours into the night. Ron revealed that the longest he went was seven full days and nights without any rest, and pointed out that, back then, he and senior Damian Lau acted in the ancient series "Find the Light" as master and disciple. On the last day of filming, [he] kept NG-ing due to being mentally exhausted. Had to use every last bit of [his] strength to film one line at a time. He also mentioned that, while filming a crying scene for "L'Escargot", [he] fell into a stage of chronic emotional collapse. At one point, [he] called his mother, weeping and telling her that he wanted to give up. His mother also burst into tears at the time, but still encouraged him to persevere, believing that a man should see things through to the end and must complete the task at hand. Taking these words to heart, he held on until the very end and abandoned the thought of giving up.

Striving Step by Step to Earn Opportunities

Recently, Ron has begun venturing into the market for 'mid-length series' (series with episodes lasting approximately 15 to 20 minutes). He admitted, "Did struggle and think it over before deciding on taking it on. (What are [you] worried about?) Scared of not being about to film 'This 2'!" However, this is the current trend in production. [If you] don't adapt, would get eliminated. After starting filming, for the time being, I find that the approach is quite similar to that of longer series". In the new series, Ron plays a film investor who actively seeks the truth for a friend in trouble, witnessing the vicissitudes of life within the entertainment industry. Reflecting on this, he said, "I don't engage in pointless socializing. [My] close friends, including Bosco Wong, Raymond Lam, et al., have all relied on their hard work, getting the things that they want step by step. This industry is a place for those who like acting and the arts; in my eyes, it's really not what the outside world imagines it to be".

Moses Chan Alludes to Unspoken Rules in Showbiz, Tavia Yeung Reveals the Truth Behind Her Classic Contemptuous Side-Eye Footage

Artistes Tavia Yeung and Moses Chan attended a promotional event today for the new series "War of Thorns". In the series, Moses plays 'Chan Wan Sang', the boss of an entertainment company. He jokingly pointed out that being surrounded by many female celebrities made him feel 'quite excited': "This one also wants to be the female lead, and everyone also wants to. Then let you be it!" Tavia chimed in, laughingly saying that he was constantly surrounded by the female stars...the happiest thing was being addressed by everyone as 「生哥」. When asked if they had any intimate scenes in the series, Moses laughingly said that all the intimate scenes were left to Ruco Chan, while Tavia expressed that there were none, though she revealed that she has many unexpected scenes in the series.

As for Tavia, who plays a 'Best Actress of France' in the series, was asked if she had any French dialogue. She immediately revealed, "There was one scene. Right before getting in position, they handed me the script and told me that I had to speak French here. I said it to the point that [Moses], who was next to me, could not help but laugh! However, some of it seems to have been cut. (Isn't it a waste?) Not really. I also learned some French, but don't ask me now; I've forgotten it all!" Moses added that, while Tavia's French lines were very short in terms of the number of words, the pronunciation was extremely long. Asked if she was worried about the pronunciation not being quite right, Tavia immediately humourously declared herself a 'Best Actress of France', so she is extremely professional, even expressing that, if the outcome was not good, it would not get aired, laughingly saying that that might be why some parts were cut. She also shared that she treated the extra playing the French boss as her 'French tutor', highly praising him for his attentive instruction; it was a rare learning experience.

Regarding the unspoken rules within the entertainment industry that are talked about in the series, are there similar situations that exist in real life? Moses immmediately laughingly said that he has observed it extremely clearly: "The fighting among celebrities in the entertainment industry is real! I've seen it very clearly and very happily!" However, he laughingly added that there is an unwritten rule in the industry: one cannot name names. Just have to tacitly understand it. Hearing this, Tavia also laughed in agreement, pointing out that she has not seen it, but there are a lot of situations of being 'outwardly harmonious but inwardly at odds' in real life. She also said that she is open and straightforward and has never experienced it. Asked about her classic contemptuous side-eye footage back then, she also expressed that it was not what it seemed: "I wouldn't just happen to accidentally make a face like that. It just goes to show that, when looking at something, have to look directly at the camera...cannot go askew!"

Mentioning last night's Halloween, the two both expressed that they took some time to accompany their children to go out with some neighbours to go trick-or-treating. Although their busy schedules meant that only the children were in costume, Moses laughingly said that he believes that it would have been even happier if he had also dressed up. Talking about Tavia's tenth wedding anniversary with her husband, Him Law, earlier, she expressed that they did not exchange gifts; that day, the family went to a theme park to celebrate: "Actually, the more anniversaries there are, the less special it is. Just a change of scenery for looking after the kids. (Moses has couple time.) This is such a great husband". Hearing this, Moses immediately suggested that she could go to a water park in the evening, laughingly saying that the vibrant lights and the music that is full of ambience are a great way to keep up with the trends of today's young people. Tavia immediately laughingly expressed that she is old...would get sleepy if she goes out for a night of fun.
