Kenneth Ma's First Male Lead

In 2003, "Survivor’s Law" brought out youngens, such as Raymond Lam, Sammul Chan, Myolie Wu, and Bernice Liu. Four years later, TVB will be making a sequel to the series, starring Kenneth Ma, Sammul Chan, Ella Koon, and Selena Li. The series will be produced by Kwan Wing Chung. Since Raymond and Myolie’s schedules clashed with this filming, TVB executive producer Tommy Leung nominated Kenneth to star in his first main lead series. The costume fitting will take place on March 8, 2007.

In the series, Kenneth will be playing a 流民律師. He is a lawyer who grew up from the streets. Sammul will be the only one reviving his character from SL. In the sequel, Sammul will have his law license revoked. Bernice's character will leave for the states and will eventually get married abroad.

馬國明踢走林峰演《新人王》

03年無線推出《律政新人王》劇集不單錄得 37點最高收視成績,更捧紅「新五虎」林線及陳鍵鋒,事隔4年無線決定開拍續集,唯獨保留「停牌律師」陳鍵鋒,另加入馬國明、官恩娜及李詩韻,原來今次馬 國明有機會擔正男主角,多得戲劇分部助理總監梁家樹的欽點,力捧他成為獨當一面小生。

馬國明與郭晉安演出《同撈同煲》劇集叫好叫座,可惜卻因沒有劇集承接他令人氣下跌,直至去年奪得「06飛躍進步男藝員」,梁家樹覺得他是可造之才。最近他客串演出《突圍行動》,雖然佔戲分只有8集,但他在劇中的角色相當搶鏡,演技再次被認同。

昨日向監製關永忠求證開拍續集一事,他承認3月會開拍《律政新人王Ⅱ》(暫名),馬國明在劇中飾演一個重情重義的流氓律師,他的角色背景在果欄長大,所以 劇情加插不少踩界行徑。記者致電給馬國明,追問梁家樹欽點他演出一事,他說﹕「沒有聽過,但當然好開心,自《衝上雲霄》後,梁家樹給予不少機會,第一次擔正男主角同陳鍵鋒拍住上,我會畀心機拍好部劇。」雖然他第一次演律師角色,但完全不擔心,一來他的姐夫是律師,專業問題可以請教姐夫,其次無線會安排劇中藝員視察律師樓的運作,以及到法庭旁聽做足準備工夫。

對於林峰、胡杏兒及廖碧兒齊齊「被飛」,關永忠解釋因為林峰與胡杏兒要拍攝《歲月風雲》長劇,他們要返內地拍外景出現撞期問題,所以必須加入新面孔。

他透露劇情會交代陳鍵鋒被停牌後變得自卑,女朋友廖碧兒離開香港進修及在外國結婚,陳鍵鋒的感情路波節重重,幸好有李詩韻的出現,她為陳鍵鋒折衣縮食,最 後助他復牌做大律師,與馬國明這位超齡流氓律師拍住上。而官恩娜演馬國明的女朋友,原本她讀時裝設計,但因為馬國明關係令她改變主意做律師,最終變為一個有Heart的律師。

馬國明恨拍無線大製作

無線將於3月8日開鏡拍攝《律政新人王2》,但原定的主角林峰和胡杏兒因要拍攝另一部無線長劇《歲月風雲》而被踢出局,無線戲劇分部助理總監梁家樹遂欽點 了馬國明擔正《律政新人王2》男主角。昨日馬國明出席新春活動時稱,前天剛為新劇開過會。問到知否梁家樹特意欽點他當新劇男主角﹖他謂﹕「我也不知道是否 他特別垂青我,可能我剛巧拍完《古靈精探》有空檔,而公司拍攝的另一長劇《歲月風雲》抽調了大量人手,而且拍足8個月,所以公司人手才會出現不足情況。」

馬國明稱,如果能拍攝無_的大型劇集當然是榮幸,但能夠接拍《律政新人王2》也感不錯,因為能緊接剛拍完的新劇,很快又可以再開工,而他最怕就是沒工作只能呆坐家中的感覺。
另外,問到新年期間有否向緋聞女友曾華倩拜年﹖他謂﹕「還未呢,看看有否機會碰面向她囉利是吧。」

Personal Note: Oh, my god! When my sister told me that Ma Ming is going to have his first main, I was super happy and excited for him. I thought he was going to be in Louisa So and Michael Tao's comedy series next month. I knew Miss Lok said that Ma Ming will have a main this year, but I never would have guessed that this would be his next project. If this whole thing is true, I'm not worried about it not being aired because law series never get warehoused. Plus, law series are very popular, since TVB films this genre at least once a year. There are two things that I don't like about this project. The first thing is Sammul playing the same character from part one. I would rather he play a different character. Take "Burning Flame II" for instance, Wong He was the only one from the first one, and in part two, he played a different character. It would be refreshing to see. The second thing is that Ella is playing Ma Ming's love interest. I would prefer someone else; however, looking on the bright side, at least it isn't Yumiko.
