Personal Note: Yay!!! Bowie and Kristal are the main leads in here! :) I was not expecting Tsui Yue On to be the producer for this. He doesn't produce this king of genre. The only one that was close to this was "The Biter Bitten". He sure likes to cast Mr. HKs in his series.
Why is Lorretta's name ahead of Aimee's name? I wonder if she had taken on Selena's role (Lizzy said that Selena was supposed to be in here, but TVB took her out of this to film "Can't Buy Me Love" instead). However, you would think that Aimee is bigger than Lorretta though. Aimee should be second female lead in here. ;)
Hey Hyn5 , do you know ??? After " Can't buy me love " , any plan of Ma Ming ???
ReplyDeleteTsui Yu On is never recognized as a good producer. I don't remember any of his series got a hit. He's quite in love with Mr HKs I see but the series synopsis is only about Bowie alone.
ReplyDeleteSelena is blessed that she was transferred by TVB to a bigger production instead. Loretta must be filling in her empty spot.
However, in the sales presentation booklet, it seemed like Aimee would get the bigger role instead of Selena. Imo, Loretta took Aimee's role and Aimee took Selina's role.
ReplyDeleteTsui Yu On mostly worked on sitcoms in the past; his most famous series are "A Kindred Spirit" and "Virtues of Harmony" (I & II). His only hit series is "Return of the Cuckoo" which is one of the top rated series of 2000.
ReplyDeletePersonally I feel he should go back to helming the sitcom. I don't enjoy his "regular" series much aside from "The Price of Greed" (but that is mostly credit to the amazing script from writer Cheung Biu Wah). :\

ReplyDeleteMa Ming should be filming another series after "Can't Buy Me Love", but I'm not sure what yet. :)
To Selina:
If they keep the storyline from the Sales booklet, then it should only revolve around Bowie only. :)
I would have liked Selena to work with Bowie, but I'd rather her film "Can't Buy Me Love" instead. :)
To Anonymous:
Makes sense as all of Aimee's roles so far have been female cop. He he.... :)
To MetalAZNWarrior:
Yes, my favourite "regular" series of Tsui Yue On is only "Return of the Cuckoo". I don't know why Catherine won't assign him the sitcoms anymore.
Actually I don't think it's Catherine who won't assign. I think it's because he doesn't want to do the sitcom anymore. He stated in an interview back in 2005 that he's "lazy" now and only wants to work on small productions (20 episodes) only.
ReplyDeleteI hated "Return of the Cuckoo". :P
I feel he doesn't have the strength to produce a series like this too. Tsang should've chosen another producer if they really want to make a HK version of "Lie To Me".
ReplyDeleteA good thing from having the series revolve about Bowie only is that it wont serve as a platform to promote any newbie ie any Miss/MR HK. There are many of them in this :P
The Price of Greed might be among his OK series but I hate those two female leads at that time. Now I realize that Tsui Yu On quite like to cast Kate and Chris Lai?
I am so happy that he would not cast Shirley in hes series anymore. I felt that Shirley acts better under a different producer other than tsui.
ReplyDeleteTo MetalAZNWarrior:
ReplyDeleteI guess TVB can't force him to do sitcoms. I'd really like to see Tsui Jing Hong back. He wasn't fired from TVB, he just resigned and went into business or something like that. :)
To Selina:
The way how the cast was praising Bowie seemed like they were just butt kissing and they didn't seem to be very sincere. No wonder Bowie said that he would like to take a course on how to detect if people are lying or not. He he.... :D
To Anonymous:
I have a feeling that Shirley is going to film a Marco Law series. :)
Yeah.. If it's true that Aimee and Loretta switched roles or something, then it means that Selena was supposed to play Bowie's sister and a pair with Bosco? That'll be interesting to watch, but I'm glad that she is in [Can't Buy Me Love] instead, the producer of this one doesn't give her good roles. (Selena's weak character in The Change of Destiny, which is also the only series Tsui Yue On has worked with Selena).
ReplyDeleteTo lizzy:
ReplyDeleteI haven't been happy with Bosco's performances since "Find the Light". So, I'm happy that Selena is not in here to be paired up with him. But, she missed out on working with Bowie though.
