Law Lok Lam Dying Five Times in One Day: 'Acknowledged Internationally'

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

The news about 'Green Leaf King' Law Lok Lam 'dying' five times in five series within 24 hours on TVB screens has been a big hit online recently. Even tvb.com specially arranged for him to accept an interview. Regarding Law Lok Lam's record of five consecutive 'deaths', this even aroused international media interest. ABC News and the online version of Singapore Straits Times' entertainment report also reprinted this news. It is unexpected that, this time, Law Lok Lam relied on 'dying' to get acknowledged internationally.

Someone Suggested to Apply for Guinness World Records

After knowing that the web sites of foreign countries have also reprinted this news, he could not help but laugh. He said, "Heard that someone has applied for the Guinness World Records for me. In 24 hours, it is not easy to have five of my series air, and even impossible to die five consecutive times. Even if it had to be accommodated, it would not work out. Really very funny!"

Here is the link to the report from ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) News.

tvb.com Interview

FYI: During prime time on April 6th, Law Lok Lam's characters in "Relic of an Emissary" and "Grace Under Fire" respectively died of old age and from being beaten to death. During the midnight time slot on April 7th, his character in "Police Station No. 7" also died, and on the same day, his characters in "Face to Fate" and "Virtues of Harmony" died as well.

Apparently, in the finale of "The Hunter's Prey", Law Lok Lam's character also met his end on April 8th. Thus, the characters he played in series actually died six times within 42 hours.

Personal Note: Read about this topic in the forums, and also saw it circulating on Weibo.

Have always enjoyed Law Lok Lam's acting. Quite funny that he became noticed for 'dying' in so many series within a short period of time. :P Anyway, looking forward to his performance as a comedic triad boss in "Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir!" :)

Now, [he] has gained popularity throughout the country from "Mei Ren Xin Ji", proving that [he] has ability and that TVB does not know what is treasure.

Personal Note: Congratulations to all the winners, especially to Charmaine for topping the list on her tenth consecutive year of making it into the top ten! :)

Like many, was very surprised that Natalie was able to garner a spot in the top ten. The character Ngan is definitely a turning point in her acting career. Personally not a fan of her acting, but hope that she continues to improve.

Series that air right before and during the voting period have always been eligible for these awards, so not surprised that "The Rippling Blossom" made it into the top ten for TV programmes. In 2005, "My Family" was also able to grab the fourth spot despite just beginning to air at the end of January.

Anyway, nice to see "A Fistful of Stances", "Beauty Knows No Pain", and "The Men of Justice" in the top ten, but would have liked to see "Twilight Investigation" in there as well.

Also, expected "Fun with Liza and Gods" to place higher, as it was such a popular and talked-about variety programme last year.

Moses Chan Opens Coffee Shop, Turns Down New Series

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

Recently, TVB has been having a rise in the leaving-the-company trend, such that many siu sangs and fa dans have been going up north to film series and make money. First-line fa dan Charmaine Sheh's contract expires in May, but she still has not renewed her contract, while Bowie Lam, Joe Ma, etc. also have plans to leave. Thus, the remaining artistes have become valuable, and everyone who films has a say. Moses Chan, who has been nicknamed the city's 'Good Property King', has never turned down a series in the past ten years. Recently, in a rare occurrence, he 'disobeyed', and turned down producer Nelson Cheung's new series "Yue Fu's Hidden Dragon".

Originally, Moses was supposed to film TVB's new series "Yue Fu's Hidden Dragon" in May; however, at the last minute, he turned down the series for personal reasons. After some investigation, it was discovered that the reason for turning down the series was because of becoming a boss. Moses and investors would be opening a coffee shop in Malaysia. Since this is his first coffee shop, it would require more time to plan and figure out. He expressed to TVB that he must personally attend to the coffee shop for a month; therefore, during this time, he will not be able to take on any series.

With regard to Moses turning down the series, producer Nelson Cheung admitted that there was this matter. He disclosed that he had already booked Moses last November to film the new series. All this time, Moses did not express that there were any problems until March 1st, when [he] turned down the series for personal reasons. When asked about what the personal reason was, Nelson Cheung said, "Moses is opening a coffee shop in Malaysia, and becoming a boss, so [he] has to stay there and personally attend to it for a month. Everyone believes that this is not a reason. Opening a shop and doing business...can't just open it after saying it. Already booked him last November...why would he use this reason to turn down the series!"

Nelson Cheung expressed that the cast of this series has changed again and again. It was initially tailor-made for Sheren Tang, such that it would be a series about courtesans Dong Xiaowan, Chen Yuanyuan, etc., and apart from Sheren being in the main cast, there was also Moses Chan, Bobby Au Yeung, and Myolie Wu. Unfortunately, Sheren later turned down this series, and it is said that this was because of another Mainland series in which the salary is certainly better than TVB's. Since Sheren turned down the series, the producer could only change the concept and film "Jinling's Eight Courtesans". Moses would play a secretary of music entertainment in the series, while Bobby would play a role that is similar to 'Mozart', and Linda Chung would be added. Nelson Cheung helplessly said, "When tailor-making for artistes, it may not necessarily be what was intended. Too many influential factors. Now, the power falls on the artistes. The user has become passive. After artistes hear a story, they may not take on the series". He admitted that he is slightly unhappy because of this matter, since filming will begin on May 1st. Now pressed for time...slightly at a loss to look for another candidate.

On the other hand, Moses denied turning down series. Yesterday, he expressed, "Not turning down series. Have not turned down any series in the ten years of being in the industry. This time, because of the coffee shop opening, the schedules clashed. Already clearly explained it to the executive first hand. In the middle, there was a small misunderstanding. I also regret not being able to film this series". As for TVB's siu sangs and fa dans leaving the company one after another, and the remaining artistes becoming valuable, Moses laughingly said, "Didn't know that Sheren turned down the series. I have always been a small potato (minor character)...not convenient to comment on other people's matters. I have always been a person with a great sense of responsibility...whatever the job, would do the best. The word 'disobey' would not happen to me. Would always do the best for jobs arranged by the company".

Personal Note: Slightly disappointed that Bobby and Moses will not be able to collaborate with each other again, but Moses has said numerous times that it is his dream to open his own coffee shop, so happy for him. :)

Anyway, in another article, it was mentioned that they are considering having Ngo Ka Nin take over for Moses, but there are worries about whether he would be able to handle it. Thus, they may just change the script and increase Bobby's screen time.

"Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir!" Promotional Clip 2

Moses Chan: "Who is knocking on my window?"

Moses Chan: "Don't worry. For now, no one has suspicions about my identity".

Ram Chiang: "Starting from this second, you have officially become an undercover cop".

Moses Chan: "Undercover?!"

Narrator: "Chinese teacher regretfully enters the Avici Hell".

Moses Chan: "Get close to the students, get information, solve the case, and then become a true cop again!"

Moses Chan: "It's nothing...."

Narrator: "Extraordinarily brave cop challenges the underworld".

Ron Ng: "There's reason to believe that you are arranging for dark powers to invade the school".

Ron Ng: "Law Sir is always keeping close to Chiang Hung. Doesn't seem to be simply a teacher".

Narrator: "Sir versus sir. Really don't know what's going on".

Moses Chan: "What?!"

Ron Ng: "I am obviously targeting you!"

Moses Chan: "The underworld has an additional sense of bloodiness again".

Narrator: "'Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir!' April 18th @ 9:30pm".

Personal Note: He he.... Moses' vocals featured again.... :D

It is evident that this promo clip was inspired by "Infernal Affairs", as they even used the song that was featured in the movie. :P

Anyway, looking forward to Moses and Ron's collaboration! :)

江山 《洪武三十二》 主題曲 - 馬德鐘

作曲: 鄧智偉/葉肇中
填詞: 張美賢

踏世上　高峰總要攀　碧血染青衫
笑中看變幻　算破綻　一子決江山
成敗瞬間　隻手風雨翻
虧欠我江山　你總要奉還

未歸路　轉身太難
像憂患　在埋下重擔
在死路　一雙腳走出生關
任恩義　生出兩難
任天地　在臣服讚嘆
世情都　飛不出我　五指山

踏世上　高峰總要攀　碧血染青衫
笑中看變幻　算破綻　一子決江山
成敗瞬間　隻手風雨翻
打拼過千關　再不會折返

踏世上　高峰總要攀　碧血染青衫
揭開了戰幔　算破綻　一子決江山
成敗瞬間　隻手風雨翻
虧欠我江山　你總要奉還

Sammul Chan Discusses His Peers @ Hunan TV Interview

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

11.03.30《金鷹網專訪》陳鍵鋒

Sammul Chan recently accepted an interview with Hunan TV while he was doing promotions for Mainland series "Mei Ren Xin Ji". Here is a translation of the part where his peers, Raymond Lam, Kenneth Ma, Bosco Wong, and Ron Ng, were mentioned.

Interviewer: "As viewers, we think that you, Raymond Lam, Kenneth Ma, Bosco Wong, and Ron Ng set a generation".

Sammul Chan: "Fortunately, I was able to make it into this last generation. Don't know why, but doesn't seem to be any afterward, right?"

Interviewer: "Afterward, there weren't any people who were able to take over".

Sammul Chan: "Fortunately, was able to catch the last train".

Interviewer: "Actually, the five of you...would you guys be considered to have a good relationship, considering that you work in the same company?"

Sammul Chan: "Quite good. Quite good because we all started from--how do you say--a very low status and struggled together".

Interviewer: "Before, when filming together, would think that.... There were rumours saying that this one is fighting with this one, and that that one is fighting with that one. Also, this one does not get along, and that one is fighting for screen time. Thus, some people would think that who and who are on one side, and who and who are on another side. Is this true? Also, I remember that, at the time of 'Mei Ren Xin Ji', Myolie Wu came to film it. Some reporters said that you were helping Bosco keep an eye on Myolie; however, reporters asked Bosco afterward, and he would say, 'No, it seems that he is not as familiar with me as he is with Myolie'".

Sammul Chan: "What does that mean?"

Interviewer: "That you are more familiar with his girlfriend, and that you are not that familiar with him".

Sammul Chan: "Yes, I am more familiar with Myolie because I filmed more series with her. Afterward, I didn't film with Bosco. Didn't film at all! I have always been filming with Ron! Then with Myolie....

Interviewer: "Occasionally with Raymond".

Sammul Chan: "Raymond. Yes, even in 'The Four', there was no Bosco! Yes, I haven't filmed with him for many years! Don't know why. Perhaps he dislikes me.... Ha ha! Just joking! Just joking!"

Interviewer: "Do the five of you actually have a good relationship or…?"

Sammul Chan: "Good, good".

Interviewer: "It's really good?"

Sammul Chan: "You think it's false?"

Interviewer: "Don't know about this!"

Sammul Chan: "What do you want to say?"

Interviewer: "Nothing. Just really wanted to ask".

Sammul Chan: "Not bad. Not...not good to the point that we would have dinner with each other every day or go shopping together, but for some things, we would send a message. For example, a birthday, the new year, etc. Occasionally, would also have dinner because many of the times, we would meet. For example, I filmed the most with Ron--would always meet...don't know why, so more familiar with him. As for Kenneth, also not bad. Raymond later sang...he doesn't film series as much, so don't see each other as much".

Interviewer: "Also films movies".

Sammul Chan: "Yes".

Interviewer: "Also, you and Ron even guest-starred in Michael Tse's movie together!"

Sammul Chan: "Yes, very sad! Don't want to see him!"

Personal Note: All mentioned except....

Also, funny how Sammul said that he doesn't want to see Ron.... :P
