TVB 2007 CNY Card

For this year's CNY card, TVB did some major budget cutback and used their artistes' calendar pictures and added some cartoon pigs to welcome the 'Year of the Pig'. Well, compared to last year's card, the new one is very cheap. Every TVB contracted artiste had at least two individual pictures plus a group photo. Not to mention the there was also the eight lucky envelopes featuring Ron Ng, Raymond Lam, Bosco Wong, Kenneth Ma, Myolie Wu, Tavia Yeung, Bernice Liu, and Shirley Yeung. My guess is that TVB overspent last year and has decided to cheapen this year's card. Rather than showing off all of their contracted artistes, TVB only had ten 'siu sangs' and eight 'fa dans' on this year's card. They consist of Roger Kwok, Bowie Lam, Moses Chan, Ron Ng, Raymond Lam, Kevin Cheng, Steven Ma, Bosco Wong, Kenneth Ma, Kenny Wong, Gigi Lai, Charmaine Sheh, Myolie Wu, Sonija Kwok, Tavia Yeung, Yoyo Mung, Bernice Liu, and Linda Chung.

This year’s CNY card concept is "豬年暢旺" and "豬籠入水"; hence, the microphones and swimwear. The atmosphere for the card is all wrong. It doesn't seem as though it's "Happy New Year!" Ron and Bosco have that sharp, glaring, cross eyesight. Mind you that the pictures were taken from the calendar and they were to look cool.

2006 CNY Card

Furthermore, every year's CNY card indicates status in ranking. Melissa Ng is not on the card this year. With that in mind, I am very worried about her position. Last year, she was in the "big leagues" with Roger, Jessica, Bowie, and Moses. Has she not recovered after filming for "The Master of Tai Chi" or would TVB freeze her for rejecting series like "The Slicing of the Demon", "Phoenix and Rising", and "爸爸閉翳" (literally translated as "Trouble Daddy"). I hope not because I like Melissa a lot, so I hope she returns soon. Plus, I'm really anticipating "Tai Chi". However, if that airs, then Melissa will be out of series. TVB better have not forgotten about her or have thrown her in the freezer. She deserves better than that. I don't know why TVB didn't promote her back then. She had bigger roles in "A Kindred Spirit" and "Lady Yang" and was recognized for them. That was the perfect time to push her up, but TVB had 'fa dans' and 'siu sangs' during that period. TVB only promotes Miss HK winners and MCI first place winners. Well, not so much MCI anymore because they are promoting Fala Chen and she's only a MCI first runner-up just like Melissa. TVB is so unfair!
