Venus Wong Levels Up to First Female Lead, Romancing Pakho Chau

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

Artiste Venus Wong will be acting as the first female lead in TVB's new series, and the role has high moldability, pushing her to take on the difficult challenge. She has recently received a tailor-made role from a TVB series crew. In the new series "The Spectator", which starts filming next month, she will act as a policewoman who is sensitive to outside sounds and lights and shadows. She uses this gift to solve murder cases, and the deeper the investigation, the more suppressed her inner emotions are.

It is reported that, this time, Venus has won over Jinny Ng and Shiga Lin, who are also taking part in "The Spectator", to appear as the first female lead, developing a romantic storyline with the male lead, Pakho Chau, who is acting as a restaurant manager. This is also Pakho's return to the series scene since filming "Wonder Women" in 2019; no wonder he seems quite nervous and has already recently begun to do his homework in seclusion. Pakho frankly said, "[My] daughter was born, so I spent a lot of time with my family in this year or two. Now, apart from studying the script, also adjusted [my] diet and ran to retrain [my] physique...have already successfully lost seven pounds. Plus, this character has a lot of emotional scenes. There are really a lot of things that have to be prepared for. Believe that [I] will busy with a lot of things in the second half of the year...very content".

- The series is a crazy and modern ancient comedy. The background of the story is set in an extremely chaotic made-up era. In order to match the background of the story, apart from convenience stores, karaokes, and even the trade descriptions ordinance, the producer has also requested for the dialogue to be colloquial and for the actors to perform in a more modern manner.
- Chow Ka Lok will play Kei Wai (紀威), the useless fourth prince of the Kingdom of Pak Sing (百勝國) who is not favoured in the Seung Mo (尚武) family. Everyone treats him like an unimportant person, and he is also called 「阿四」. He is sensitive to smells, has a frail body and asthma, and frequently recites poems. He has romantic storylines with Jeannie Chan and JW. He has been arranged to have a diplomatic relationship with Jeannie, a princess of the Kingdom of Gor Lin San (歌蓮神國). The Kingdom of Gor Lin San is a kingdom of women's rights supremacy. The tough Jeannie is not willing to marry the weak prince, so she decides to go kill him. Unexpectedly, the two accidentally lose their memories, and they end up living in the Seven Kingdoms' 'no king ruling' town of Sau Chan (首振鎮). The town of Sau Chan is a martial arts world with masters everywhere; it is a place with hidden talent, and even the market vendors have special skills. Among the many masters, only Chow Ka Lok does not know martial arts; however, he is a witty guy who has seen a lot of power struggles in the palace, so he uses his ability and wisdom to assist Hugo Ng in going against the major powers in the town. He and Jeannie are a bickering pair; they have comedic intimate scenes, and she often resorts to violence toward him. He frequently gets bullied by Jeannie; he relies on his wisdom to suppress her. He and Brian Chu have a brotherhood.
- Jeannie has three identities: Princess Nap Hak Wan Yau (納克溫柔), who is a bickering pair with Chow Ka Lok; Man Yi (蠻儀) is the name she uses after she loses her memory; and the other is Cheung Wing Hong's first love, who is the younger version of May Chan's character. She is a general-like character. She and Chow Ka Lok rely on each other through thick and thin due to having lost their memories. The kingdom attaches the most importance to women's rights and would look down on men, so she frequently bullies Chow Ka Lok.
- Brian will play Kau Chin Do (裘千刀), a martial arts addict. He is the best at kung fu. He will be both good and evil in the latter part of the series, having a lot of action scenes. He and JW are godsiblings who later have a romantic storyline; it is a puppy love, so there are no intimate scenes.
- JW will play Fok Siu Mui (霍小妹), an escort. She is good at feeling a pulse.
- Hugo will play Kau Yung (裘勇), the first-in-command of an escort agency.
- Raymond Cho will play Fok Ching San (霍青山), the second-in-command of an escort agency. He is JW's father.
- Cheung Wing Hong will play Fan Chong Lung (范壯龍). His first love returns to the town of Sau Chan after studying in a foreign place, in which Jeannie unexpectedly becomes May.
- Mayanne Mak will play Mo Seung (無雙), the madam of a brothel with many kinds of appearances and mannerisms. She appears to be weak but is actually a martial arts expert. She is very cool. She pursues Hugo; she has to seduce him.
- Aurora Li will play San Yuen Yuen (辛圓圓), a wealthy person. She and Wai Ka Hung are a married couple.
- Stephen Wong will play Kei Yeung (紀揚), the third prince.
- Derek Wong will play two characters: one is upright, while the other is the evil emperor's teacher.
- Frankie Choi will play Ng Chok (伍作), the person in charge of the yamen.
- Eileen Yeow will play 「瘋四娘」

Would have been more refreshing to see Ron and Bosco in a comedy together instead, but at least Ron has a different role this time around....

Definitely sounds as though Nancy will be playing the big boss....

- 10 episodes long.
- The series talks about a fantasy love story between a 'mortal', Hubert Wu, and his exclusive 'bad spirit', Erica Chan. Hubert and Erica are people from two different worlds; she even brings bad luck to him every day.
- The series is about using another perspective to look at this world after a person leaves the world.
- The concept of the series is a new worldview. The setting is that, after people die, they no longer go to heaven or hell; rather, they go to a second dimension to complete post-mortem missions. As long as the life rewards are enough, one can go to the second dimension. The second dimension is the same as the mortal world (first dimension). It requires living, working, and doing good deeds to accumulate points. If the score is enough, one rises to the third dimension, and so on...up to the ninth dimension. The story is created based on this new worldview.
- Bad spirits have to do good deeds to upgrade, but why do they have to prank mortals? There is a big mystery behind it. Everything does not happen by accident, but the reason behind it cannot be revealed for the time being.
- The series constructs a new worldview, and it also discusses a theme: is it worse for people to die or to live in an existing world? This theme will be brought out by Hubert's character.
- Hubert will play Chan Bak Ho (陳北河), a takeout delivery person. He is a mortal who gets surrounded by a bad spirit. He is very miserable and unhappy all the time. His melancholic personality and a bad family environment make him feel that living is hell. On the contrary, people in the second dimension are happier, simpler, and more open-minded. When his bad spirit, Erica, sees how miserable he is, pity turns into love, and the bad spirit falls in love with the mortal. He and Erica have a restrained, accidental kiss.
- Erica will play Poon Siu Yu (潘小渝), a tragic person. She has a kind and cute aura. There is a rule for the second dimension bad spirits: they cannot let the mortals know that the second dimension exists. The love story of the male and female leads is dependent on her using a way to violate a prohibition of falling in love in the first dimension. There are scenes where Mark Ma teaches her how to prank Hubert.
- Mark will play a top-level bad spirit. He loves to build his happiness on the suffering of others the most. He flirts with every female.
- Mayanne Mak will play Bau Sau Yuk (包秀玉), who is already dead, talking about how one returns to the first dimension, which is the dimension that we are in now. She is a bad spirit who often has a displeased look. She is also called 「包包」.
- Helena Law will play Hubert's paternal grandmother. She often hits and yells at Hubert, but he never speaks up. She passes away from a fall.
- Lincoln Hui will play Dau Chit Yan (竇哲人), a painter. He is very stubborn about art, and he has mood swings. He has romantic storylines with Vivian Koo and Stephanie Au. He and Vivian are a couple; he really loves her, but it is an abnormal love, and he always hits her. He and Hubert have a hostile relationship.
- Vivian will play a foreign exchange student from Mainland. She is a victim of domestic violence.
- Darryl Chan will play Keung (強).

Two ICAC Series Being Filmed, Two 'TV Queens' Nancy Wu and Sisley Choi Battle It Out

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

There will be two series with a theme on the ICAC! TVB is filming "ICAC Investigators 2022" with Benjamin Yuen and 'TV Queen' Sisley Choi. It is known that Shaw Brothers is getting two-time 'TV Queen' Nancy Wu, 'TV King' Vincent Wong, Bosco Wong, Ron Ng, Mandy Wong, et al., who are all TVB fa dans and siu sangs of the past and present, to film the new series "ICAC Attack" at the end of June; this is Nancy's first collaborative project after signing with Shaw Brothers.

When Nancy was interviewed by on.cc, she frankly said that this role is the most 'overpowering' since she entered the industry. After reading the script, became emotionally affected and kept losing sleep. What's more is that she will be playing Bosco's elder sister in the series. Nancy said, "The character's background is very complicated. Mandy and I both felt that there was a 'picture' after looking at the script. This time, I am not an ICAC, and also not a cop. I couldn't sleep after looking at the script...looked at it to the point that I could not speak. I don't even know how to describe it. The older sister and younger brother relationship with Bosco, as well as the story of the whole group of friends with Ron, Mandy, and Vincent, have a lot of drama. There is also a plot that talks about me getting revenge. In short, it is a great breakthrough this time; it has to be described as 'overpowering'. (Will you be unable to accept having to be Bosco's elder sister?) Did he use dirty tactics?! Ha ha ha!"

'TV King' Vincent revealed that he is playing a police officer this time, so there are a lot of action scenes. Now, while shooting the movie "Detrimental", he also has to take time out to train to prepare for the subsequent fighting and shirtless scenes.

As for Bosco, he is playing the role of an ICAC member this time. He laughingly said, "I haven't worked with Nancy for many years. She is even playing my elder sister this time! My real age seems to be slightly older than hers, but it doesn't matter. Our acting will make up for it! Everyone has acting chops! This time, Nancy's role is great to watch...very powerful! I really want to be her character...would be a lot of fun". Bosco also highly praised the script for being very well-written, and frankly said that he has not read such a quality script in a long time, so [he] is rather looking forward to it. Ron does not have to play a cop again this time, playing a character who is both good and evil in a rare turn, and will have a romantic storyline with Mandy in the series!

Personal Note: Sisley should also be filming "ICAC Attack" because, at the fitting of "ICAC Investigators 2022", she mentioned that she would be shooting two ICAC series simultaneously, playing an ICAC investigator in both.

Funny how it was emphasized that Ron will not be playing a cop again this time!

Nancy playing Bosco's elder sister? o_O However, it sounds as though she will be playing the big boss....

Hubert Wu Admits to Being Rational, Erica Chan Buries Emotions and Relies on Acting to Vent

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

Artistes Hubert Wu, Erica Chan, and Helena Law were in Sai Wan filming for the new series "Falling in Love with My Bad Luck". The plot had him act out a sad scene where his relative has left. Helena, who plays his paternal grandmother, has passed away. When he was cleaning up for her in the room, he saw things that momentarily reminded him of her, so he cried tears of sadness, and Erica couldn't help but get teary-eyed when she saw him like this.

He pointed out that he is not a sentimental person whose emotions fluctuate easily; he is more rational. However, his previous series, "Return of the Cuckoo", also had a lot of crying scenes; it is also the same for "Falling"...completely emotionally explosive. Speaking of girlfriend Sisley Choi dubbing to the point of crying in a previous episide of "Dub-of-War", he frankly said that he watched it and praised all the contestants for performing well. When it was said that Sisley's voice sounded exactly like Amy Kwok's, he immediately laughingly said, "You ask her! Why are you asking me?! (Because you know her voice best!) Well, she really put her heart into getting a grasp of it! (Do you dare to take up the challenge?) I am not a person who is good at dubbing. I should just sing and act!" He was also very polite upon seeing Helena, immediately calling her 'paternal grandmother'. Helena also cordially asked him, "How are you?! Have you had enough sleep?" The two were like a 'real grandmother and grandchild'.

As for Erica, who is working with Helena for the first time, frankly said that, although [Helena] is already 87 years old, when she saw her filming a scene where she was yelling at Hubert the other day, her acting and aura were rather incredible, revealing that she took the initiative to ask her senior about her acting experience. Speaking of acting out crying scenes, Erica said that she is usually a person who does not shed tears easily...would bury her emotions. Acting just happens to allow her to vent. She said, "I don't even lose my temper much. Nothing much will touch my bottom line, except hurting my family". She also revealed that she filmed an emotional crying scene the day before; this scene was even the deepest she had immersed into a role. She frankly said, "Really broke down. I was very immersed. After crying, felt paralyzed and had no strength. Director said 'cut', but I still could not stop. (How did it feel?) It was very fun. It felt great".

Hubert Wu Is Actually a Brawny Guy, Erica Chan Has to Push Hard

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

Artiste Hubert Wu and TVB's promoted newcomer Erica Chan were doing location filming in an old building in Quarry Bay today for the new series "Falling in Love with My Bad Luck". The plot was about Hubert, who plays a takeout delivery person, encountering a kid while delivering takeout, and even getting pranked by Erica along the way, getting pushed hard by her. Afterward, he pointed out that she probably goes to the gym usually...full of power. [He] laughingly said that he has to see a bonesetter after work.

When interviewed, Erica, who is still a newcomer, expressed that they have been working for more than ten days. It has been a rather happy process; the entire series crew is working together delightfully, and has even gotten reminders from seniors Hubert, Mayanne Mak, Mark Ma, et al. When asked whether Hubert has played a trick on her, she haughtily said, "They have not! I was the one who pranked him actually. The plot talks about us being people from different dimensions; sometimes he cannot see me, so there are many scenes where I trick him. There was a scene where I had to splash milk tea on him; afterward, [I] kept apologizing to him. Before, also had to push him hard. I also didn't mean to push him too hard. Afterward, the director told me to do it harder because Hubert is very brawny and strong! (Well, did you have a lot of NGs?) There were some because I am also learning".

Erica also pointed out that, in the series, she is the most blissful. The weather is hot now. Hubert has to often film in thick takeout delivery clothes, while Mark has to wear wool sweaters to match his character, and his hair also has to be brushed with a white colour...quite a bit of trouble. She revealed that her character in the series is a tragic one. There are also a lot of heavy crying scenes: "I was very nervous at the beginning, but after discussing with the director and the producer, they told me to relax as much as possible. (How do you invest yourself emotionally?) Listen to songs! (Hubert sang impromptu for you?) When he is beside you, it's like opening a free concert, and there seems to be a human CD player following me!"

When Hubert was asked whether he had given Erica a bit of advice, he immediately humbly said, "Wah! How can I do it?! I can't even handle myself. Finished 'Return of the Cuckoo' for not long, and then started filming. Had to promote a song in the middle, so there was not much time to rest. Old now...cannot recover. Also have to make a new song in the near future. I will try finding a balance. I am also greedy...want to strike a balance between singing and acting".

Hubert also filmed a scene where he carried veteran Helena Law on his back up the stairs, frankly saying that there was pressure: "I am not scared of not be being able to carry her, but really need to be more careful when carrying an elderly person. Hope to be able to give Helena a sense of security later!"

Eliza Sam announced that she had already given birth to her and second son, 'Little Cashew', with husband Joshua. Joshua then uploaded a cute picture of 'Little Cashew' yawning, as well as pictures of Eliza embracing their eldest son, Jacob, and him holding their youngest son up high. Joshua spoke for 'Little Cashew' under the pictures: "Hi Guys! My name is Julius Samuel Ngo. I came into this world weighing 3.02kg and measuring 50cm. My goh goh Jacob has been great and I am just a pooping feeding machine for the time being. Special nod to Grandpa for letting me use his name as my middle name. Looking forward to meeting all of you aunties and uncles. Mom is recovering well and getting her missed cuddles in with Jacob".

In addition, Eliza expressed in a reply to Ming Pao that she has already received everyone's blessings. She and her husband thanked everyone: "Completely received them. The baby's name is Julius. We call him 'Baby JuJu'. He was born at 3.02 kg (6.6 lb.); it was okay. We are safe and sound. My son and I have already returned home to rest. Elder brother is also very happy because we prepared a gift from younger brother to give to older brother. Elder brother has always wanted a set of markers. After we bought it, said that younger brother wanted to gift it to him. Elder brother is very satisfied with this younger brother".

"Be Your Dawn" (Special Version) - Linda Chung



"Be Your Dawn" - Linda Chung

做你的晨曦 - 鍾嘉欣

I love you
做你的晨曦 讓我呵護你
流露自然美 分享喜與悲
讓曙光燃起 親一親 溫暖著你
媽媽即使激氣 也總會諒解你

臨睡先關燈 明瞭未
來吧一起躲進 綿被
難道是 遭遇很不開心
故此夜深 不願早瞓
為何 懶得早起

I love you
願每天晨曦 為我守護你
名列是其次 盡過努力來爭氣
讓曙光燃起 在世間毋畏 高飛
你 在母親眼內 無人可跟你比

Till I know your words forever
In making me a better person
Though I always drive her crazy
But now I'm growing up
And mommy still says

做你的晨曦 讓我呵護你
旁人是其次 但你特別如胎記
沒法子 兒嬉
媽媽膚色都衰老 仍忘不掉你
是你 並没人 能媲美

願每天晨曦 為我守護你
前程未知道 但我在未來等你
像你般 年紀 
媽媽早已懂做人 道理

我母親 也教導 相親相愛
你也將 會發現 一生所愛
這輩子 到最後 不必感慨
最真摯 瞬間的 數十載

Oh mommy
I will love you forever

Comments on Female Partners and Praises Jessica Hsuan as Being Great, Bobby Au Yeung Helpless About Having No Opportunity to Play an Antagonist

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ontv Clip

'TV King' Bobby Au Yeung, who has been in the television industry for many years, has filmed another TVB series, "Shadow of Justice", after four years, performing his unique humour. He plays a Chief Inspector of Police of the Accident Investigation team, laughingly saying that shooting in a white shirt was the hardest to adapt to: "You know my body figure. Nothing can be hidden behind a white shirt, so I hold a file to cover myself no matter what. After filming started, I quickly slimmed down so that it would not be such a mistreatment to the viewers' eyes; the buttons on the shirts would also be smoother". He revealed that he had suggested to the producer that he and Joe Ma swap roles so that he would be playing a lawyer who is both good and evil, and said that he has never been an antagonist since he became a lead. He said helplessly, "Perhaps my face is too kind. No one dares to let me try. The antagonist in my heart is not one who suddenly grabs a knife and randomly stabs people, nor is he always showing a detestable face. Rather, it is a character with a story, and these are hard to come by".

The response to the new series is not bad. He, who has always been called a 'Ratings Lucky Star', readily accepts this good reputation: "Well, this is a fact. Thanks to everyone for giving me this name; it's better than praising me for being handsome. At TVB, I am called the 'Sequel King'". Faced with the emergence of newcomers, he was asked whether he would be worried about the difficulty in attracting the new generation of viewers. He was open-minded and expressed, "Leaving it to fate. They also don't even know the 'Four Heavenly Kings', and I have not retired, so I can still continue filming. The viewers have discerning eyes. A ten-plus-year-old also knows how to watch acting; if he or she thinks that this person's acting is good to watch, then he or she will naturally watch it".

When talking about the female partners he has worked with, he used 'guardian' to describe his new series partner, Joey Meng: "Only she can handle me because I kick up a fuss easily; she would call me 'master' and would coax me". He also called out and praised Jessica: "She does anything that I tell her to. She is really great. She knows that I do it for the effect. Able to let me hold water in my mouth to spray her...the first time was 'A Recipe for the Heart', and the second time was 'Dicey Business'. As for Esther Kwan, he said that they are a dream team: "Her husband, Nick Cheung, said to me, 'At the beginning of our marriage, a lot of people thought that you were actually her husband!"

Although Bobby has worked with countless actresses, he has been scandal-free for many years. Asked if it was due to not filming many intimate scenes, he frankly said that he has always hated filming intimate scenes, but there is no shortage of kiss scenes: "Having a kiss scene with Amy Chan, I was more scared than she was. She is a vegetarian; I was afraid that she would throw up from feeling my meat odour. When I filmed a kiss scene with Esther, she talked while filming; she said that it would be natural if the lips are moving! Filming with Ada Choi, the script said to embrace and kiss. I said that it is really ugly filming an embrace and kiss with my profile...flat mouth and flat face. At most, kissing your forehead and cheek".

假使真有緣 一眼便是一生 永遠

投入 時光的海 遺失感覺 可復再
為你可 在漆黑之時 像花火一秒精彩

酸苦都覺甜 當結局未真的揭穿

不想跟你分開 多艱辛亦負載
仍相信未來 所以等待
願真心的人 都可以被愛
赤土 會種出花海
