TVB series have been receiving ordinary ratings in the past six months, even changing the focus on the release of ratings results the other day such that a lot of the ratings points will not be announced. Previously, "Stranger Anniversary", starring Joe Ma and Roxanne Tong, was condensed by TVB from its original 25 episodes to 20 episodes and had an early finale in order to go against ViuTV's "Inevitable"; the full version was arranged to broadcast on myTV SUPER afterward. At the time, some netizens criticized it as being a pity, and believed that the actors' efforts were wasted. Joe, who played two characters in the series, had it the worst, as the role difficulty was high, and his performance was also on point. At the time, he was asked whether he was disappointed with this arrangement, and he also simply responded, 'people know the warmth or coolness of water after drinking it', saying that there are always highs and lows in life.
Ruco Chan Goes Up North, Benjamin Yuen Busy Releasing an Album
However, this matter has not been a blow to Joe, as he will start filming the new series "Goodbye, Bed Partner" with Mandy Wong and Kelly Cheung next month. Originally, there were intentions to find Ruco Chan, Benjamin Yuen, and Kenneth Ma for this role, but Ruco is currently filming the new series "Hong Kong People in Beijing" with Jinny Ng in Mainland, while Benjamin has also signed with a record company; he will be releasing an album and is busy with its production. As for Kenneth, who was always filming one series after another earlier and was bled dry and drained by TVB, is unable to do it because he has other jobs.
Joe's attitude was quite positive when he accepted an interview, and pointed out that he has always faced things with a normal heart. When asked if he has been traumatized and under pressure due to "Stranger" ending early previously, he said, "Actually, I quite like the theme of 'Stranger'. It was also a new attempt and breakthrough in my performing arts work because my characters have always leaned toward tough and uniform style. The ratings of 'Stranger' were not ideal, but under the current environment, the ratings of most of the series are almost the same. I also responded before...have always faced it with 'a normal heart is the way', but very grateful that the feedback was good. During the broadcast, a lot of friends and viewers also liked it and cheered for us". He also pointed out that the script this time is extremely suspenseful and exciting with a high binge-watchability. There is a lot of foreshadowing, mainly depicting the weaknesses of human nature! He said, "I am looking forward to it very much, and the first time I worked with Mandy was almost 14 or 15 years ago in 'When Easterly Showers Fall on the Sunny West'. There weren't that many partnering scenes; however, at the time, already felt that she stood out very much. Later, worked together again in 'Tiger Cubs', but it was mostly group scenes. Fortunate to have many partnering scenes this time. Believe that there will definitely be sparks".
As for Kenneth not being able to film "Goodbye", and his girlfriend, Roxanne, saying when she attended a wedding event last month that marriage could be carefully considered as the pandemic situation has subsided, one cannot help but think that good news is approaching for the two. However, when asking Kenneth for confirmation, he immediately laughingly said, "Certainly not so! Everyone has too much of an imagination! Actually, I have also not heard of the (new series') story. The company also has not officially said that [they] are asking me to do it. I also really want to collaborate with Mandy again. Hope to have a chance next time!"
Mandy Wong in Search of Lost Memories
Female lead Mandy said in an interview that she had not worked with Joe in a long time; there is a freshness partnering this time. She said, "'When', which was more than ten years ago, was my first series after entering the industry. He really is a good senior. This time, the story talks about going from a mentor-mentee relationship to a married couple. It feels very different from the past. I have also not collaborated with a lot of the people in the series, so greatly looking forward to it". This time, she is playing a character with amnesia again. In the series, because [she] lost seven years of memories, [she] has always been trying to find [her] past experiences. Talking about frequently having to play such emotionally charged roles, she said, "This one is not considered heavy! Instead, will have some lighthearted plots, and there is also an opportunity to start a new romance".
Kelly Cheung Gets Hair Extensions for Love Triangle
Recently, to prepare for the filming of "Goodbye", Kelly specially got hair extensions. When interviewed, Kelly frankly said that the hair change was an opinion given by the producer: "Actually, I like short hair and long hair, but the producer wants me to have long hair to match the role. In the series, I am Joe's current girlfriend, while Mandy is his ex-wife. Mandy's sudden appearance causes a lot of things to happen among the three of us". She also said that she has not collaborated with Joe and Mandy for many years. The previous collaborations were already "Life on the Line" and "Law dis-Order", so quite looking forward to it.
