Charmaine Sheh, Kenneth Ma, Selena Lee, Venus Wong, Regina Ho, et al. went to Shaw Studios to film the new series "The QUEEN of News" today. Charmaine has returned to her mother company, TVB, to film a series. She expressed that she has been filming happily because the script is great, and has not collaborated with the actors and the behind the scenes for a long time. Because the old friends are very harmonious in private, has been working happily. Having not filmed a TVB series for a long time, has anything changed? Charmaine described it as being just as happy, but would only know if there is any difference after seeing the finished project; however, the filming process and script have made her very confident in the new series: "Everyone is working very hard on the filming. Believe that the finished product will make people satisfied. (There's a difference from being used to filming big productions?) This one is also a big production!"

Charmaine said that the time to rest is more sufficient this time. The producer cares for the actors and is fighting for time to rest for everyone: "[If] we aren't pretty, then the producer suffers a loss! New actors are afraid of you because of your aura?) At the beginning, it's just that everyone was not familiar with one another. You ask them now again to see". She said that it is tough for those before the screen and behind the scenes, so she treated everyone to eat. Speaking of her performance, Charmaine admitted that it's difficult: "Because it has to be said smoothly, but the dialogue is also difficult, so I have chosen to write it down to help me remember it; thus, the set is full of my calligraphy!" Charmaine also laughingly said that she wants to make a cameo on the news channel, laughingly saying that she would also be happy to have an opportunity to report on the weather. She pointed out that, in order to get immersed, the series crew arranged for the actors to go to the news department for training. She has even asked to use the recording studio for practice from the executive producer of the news department.

Asked if she would film another TVB series, Charmaine said, "Have always said that it depends on the script. [If] there is a good script, would cherish it. (Still have a series debt?) No. It has also been many years!" She laughingly said that she would film again if there is fate. Asked if there is anyone she admires out of the new partners this time, Charmaine expressed that she really likes Venus but denied that it is because she is a 'sister-in-law': "It's the first time collaborating. On her first day, when she got into position, she was already immersed into the role. Seeing her fully prepared also had an effect on me. (Which one needs to improve?) Myself. Always have to be better".

Selena and Kenneth are former lovers in the series; they are each other's deepest former love. Kenneth also has a passionate performance with Regina. Talking about having many female partners in the series, Selena laughingly said that she also has two partners. Because doing the news is too stressful, need romance to reduce stress. Asking Selena if she would continue to film TVB series, she laughingly said, "[If] there's a good script and good partners, would certainly film. Kenneth and Charmaine are both good partners. Would also go film wherever there are good scripts".

Kenneth said that the most of the series this time are the battles in terms of the news. He has competition with Charmaine and Selena. Selena described herself as a 'sharp-tongued Barbie' who yells as everyone in the series: "No one dares to yell at Charmaine. I'm the only one who would yell [at her]...grabbing [her] by the collar while scolding [her]. It's the hardest part of the series, but I also really like her. In the series, I am not a good girl...not gentle and would quarrel with others due to [my] stance". Selena described it as having never played this type of role...have to learn to say the key points, and even had to memorize some dialogue for a month, frankly saying that, after playing it, she really admires journalists. Kenneth also expressed that he would also use anchors as objects of imitation.

Regina expressed that her performance this time is a big challenge because the character is full of ambitions and even has a mood disorder, but she would not get emotionally troubled, laughingly saying that, when under pressure, [she] would consume sugar to reduce stress. Regina has a lot of feelings about playing an anchor. Apart from controlling [her] line of sight, also needs arm-leg coordination, frankly saying that it's difficult. She has a romantic storyline with Kenneth; she described it as her most intense performance: "The previous performances were also just superficial contact. This time, there is action and passion". Venus described the two's performance as being 'very hot'.

Venus' character in the series is a sunny happy person, but her personality causes trouble, and everyone is afraid of her, laughingly saying that everyone in the entire department except Regina has yelled at her. For the performance, she did her homework beforehand. Speaking of Charmaine praising Venus by name, she expressed her gratitude. She was cautious and careful when facing Charmaine at first. There was a big scene that made her extremely nervous; afterward, Charmaine also discussed it with her. She expressed that she worked hard to prepare beforehand. Venus highly praised Charmaine for being very pretty when she was immersed in her performance, even treating everyone to a meal to get acquainted with one another, and was also very welcoming of discussing the performance together.

  1. Hmm...Shaun Tam is weirdly absent even though he's one of the leads. If this is for opening theme video or posters, I guess they'll Photoshop him in later 😆

    1. To Alan: Shaun is only a guest star.

      They were shooting promo clips for the news department, so only the actors in the news department took part in the shoot.
