Ada Choi Gives Birth to 9 lb., 4 oz. Baby: Heaviest Baby in Hospital

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ada_max_baby

Ada Choi gave birth to a daughter. Originally, [she] wanted to experience the birth process by having a natural birth; however, because the baby's weight reached 9 lb., 4 oz., in the end, she had a Caesarean section. Max Zhang, who was present during childbirth, said during an interview at the hospital, "Mother and daughter are both healthy. Baby girl is born! Ada was admitted into the hospital yesterday. Her expected delivery date was May 17th; previously, the magazines reported it incorrectly. I saw that her stomach was really big, so [we] went to the hospital to induce labour. Very coincidental that [our] baby girl was born on May 11th at 5:11pm, weighing at 9 lb., 4 oz., approximately 4.5 kg. Should be the hospital's heaviest baby". Max revealed that, when the nurse carried the baby girl to him, he was already teary-eyed. Ada also cried from happiness. When asked whom their daughter resembled, Max said, "Her lips resemble the father, while her hair resembles the mother, and she also has a widow's peak. (What did you name her?) Ada wanted to give her a single character, while I wanted the character 'Chu' because want [our] baby girl to clearly understand the truth about God. In the end, [we] named her 'Chu Er' (楚兒), while her English name is Zoe, which is the meaning of the life".

Nick Cheung: Baby Girl Looks Exactly Like Mother

Ada gave birth to a heavy baby girl. Nick Cheung went to the hospital to visit her. [He] expressed that they became friends from their collaboration in the TVB series "Secret of the Heart": "After visiting Ada, also saw the baby girl. Perhaps she is a newborn…the baby girl looks exactly like the mother. (Teach her about what you have learned from taking care of a daughter?) Talked about it when [we] saw each other previously. (What did you give?) Later.... Wait for her to leave the hospital first. We have known each other since collaborating in 'Secret'. We each have our own baby now!"

Personal Note: Really like the name 「張楚兒」! :)

Charmaine Sheh: "Younger sister! Younger sister! Watching 'My Sister of Eternal Flower'...is it better to watch Raymond Lam or Charmaine Sheh? I can't handle it!"

Personal Note: The tone of Sister Fa saying "Ah Mui" reminds me of Ah Wong saying "Ah Ho"....

TVB Intends to Film Sequel with Original Cast: Joe Ma Hopes to Ride on Clouds Again

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

joe
Although Joe Ma's contract expires at the end of the year, he still wants to take part in the sequel of "Triumph in the Skies".

pilots1
Back then, "Triumph in the Skies" successfully promoted Ron Ng, Bosco Wong, Michelle Ye, Sammul Chan, Kenneth Ma, etc.

pilots2
Back then, Joe Ma, Francis Ng, and Patrick Dunn portrayed cool pilots in "Triumph in the Skies".

TVB's old 2003 production "Triumph in the Skies", carried by Francis Ng, Joe Ma, Flora Chan, etc., was extremely popular back then, and it also successfully promoted Ron Ng, Sammul Chan, Bosco Wong, and Kenneth Ma, who were just starting out at the time. TVB intends to rehash the same story, as a sequel with the original cast has been arranged to film at the end of the year. Joe expressed that he hopes to take part.

TVB's 2003 series "Triumph in the Skies" had fa dan Flora Chan and siu sang Joe Ma, successfully promoted Ron Ng, Sammul Chan, Bosco Wong, and Kenneth Ma to become S4, and also did location filming in Australia, Rome, etc.--an extreme investment. The series was extremely popular, and it also received support from the audience when it re-aired earlier. After seeing this, TVB has had the intentions to film a sequel with the original cast.

Yesterday, TVB's Director of Production (Series Production) Tommy Leung said over the phone, "The company has plans to film a sequel at the end of the year, and the movie version next year. Current popular television series will be in consideration to film movie versions to promote managed artistes to become movie stars".

Many Artistes Have Already Left the Company

Many artistes who had carried "Triumph" have already left TVB. After giving birth, Flora's focus on her career has greatly decreased. As for Michelle Ye, she changed her focus to the big screen. The chances of Francis, who had the most screen time and played a pilot, returning to film series are not great. Even Joe is on the verge of leaving the company. It is believed that only siu sangs Ron, Bosco, Kenneth, etc. will be left.

As for Joe's contract expiring soon, Tommy said, "Based on principles, I do want to use the original cast, as well as add some newcomers. If this series was not willing to use newcomers in the first place, there would be no S4!" He said that there are plans for the sequel to do location filming in Europe, Japan, and Mainland. The story will still revolve around pilots; thus, there needs to be a lot of location filming in order for it to be realistic. The script is already in the works. Will wait until the script is finished before selecting actors. Tommy believes that some heavyweight outsiders must be added in order to have a refreshing feeling.

"There Are Many Formats of Collaboration"

Joe, who is in Mainland filming "Legend", revealed that he has heard about TVB filming the sequel of "Triumph". Although [his] contract expires at the end of year, Joe directly said that he still hopes to take part in the sequel. Yesterday, he said over the phone, "There are many formats of collaboration, so I'm not worried. It would be best if there was an opportunity to film the movie version. Very laborious to film series...there would be another platform to show the results of one's hard work". Back then, Joe gained fame from the character Vincent in "Triumph". Joe directly said that he likes the character; however, it was already explained in the storyline that his character had died. If it were to film again, it would be very difficult for the character to come back to life. He said, "We can't come up with anything to make it work, so leave it up to the scriptwriters". As for the condition of contract renewal with TVB, he said that it is progressing well, but there is no confirmed answer yet.

FYI: The role of Issac was originally intended for either Daniel Wu or Stephen Fung; however, it didn't work out. Then, TVB wanted to have Raymond Lam take over the role, but he was already filming "Blade Heart" at the time. Ron was eventually cast after producer Poon Ka Tak recommended him to Tommy Leung.

Personal Note: According to The Sun, Bosco, Ma Ming, and Ron are said to take part in the sequel, while Raymond may take over for Sammul, thus becoming the new S4.

"My Sister of Eternal Flower" Promotional Clip 4


Charmaine Sheh: "'My Sister of Eternal Flower' starts at 8:30pm. That means eating dinner at 7:30pm, followed by washing dishes at 8:00pm, and then sitting tight [in front of the TV]. Really not easy!"

Personal Note: Exactly like Ah Wong....

Julian Cheung Willing to Film TVB Series Again

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

chilam

Yesterday, Julian Cheung (Chi Lam) filmed a promotional clip for TVB Classic Channel's 'Jade Star Strength' series, as the series in which he starred in, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Cold Blood Warm Heart", "Return of the Cuckoo", etc., have been arranged to air in June. Chi Lam cheekily said, "Filmed fewer than ten series for TVB, but all are classics. Also fortunate that TVB has given me many good scripts, so have more classics. I do not have copies, and did not buy the discs, so will watch them again. (Like which one the most?) 'Cold Blood Warm Heart' because [we] filmed for half a year. Became good friends with Adam [Cheng], Gallen [Lo], and Christine [Ng]. Greatly miss the days of filming together. Many partners are just this once. (Will film TVB series again?) Very willing to film again. Very happy that we are able to discuss it. Actually want to film a black comedy about district councillors; unfortunately, they are afraid of it being sensitive".

When mentioning that Max Mok and Coco Sun have been successively released from jail, Chi Lam frankly said that he has not contacted Max yet. As for Coco, he said, "Feel that he is very lucky. All is well that ends well. Do not hope that it happens in the performing arts community again".

Personal Note: Still my favourite artiste! :)

Chi Lam has only filmed 12 series for TVB, but there are definitely a few classics. :)

When Adam held a concert in 1997, Chi Lam and Gallen both attended the concert to support him, and they were sitting next to each other in the audience.

"Ghetto Justice" Promotional Clip 1


Narrator: "The most native of Hong Kong...how can Sham Shui Po be left out? Here, you can find the trendiest computers, electronic parts and equipment, and Apliu's old electrical appliances. There are big shopping malls and shops to check out, the most well-known pork liver noodles, and the most nourishing trio of snake gall. Most importantly, it has the glory of Sham Shui Po--Barrister Law! May 30th. Greatly impressing Sham Shui Po!"

Ha ha.... LA Law's nickname is 'Big Butt'! :P

Also, they messed up on the broadcast date at the end of the clip. o_O

Ron Ng Wants to Get Married

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

ron

Ron Ng, who has many rumours, gives off the image of a handsome player. Recently, he has been rumoured with Sire Ma and Kate Tsui. Ron feels helpless: "[My] first criterion for choosing a partner is that she must understand me. Although Kate is a good friend, but is not the type that I like. As for Sire, absolutely not familiar with her--not considered friends, and absolutely no possibility for development". Actually, Ron absolutely does not trifle with relationships. He, who has always longed to date and to get married, frankly said that, since entering the industry, [he] would occasionally meet some desirable partners. However, the scrutiny of the media pressure and psychological hurdles have caused him to dare not to start a pursuit. "Bothered with many rumours, which has caused me to be afraid of going out with friends of the opposite sex. Have not dated for many years, so also very envious that others are paired up. When will I be able to go out while holding a girl's hand and announce marriage without being smeared by the media?"

Personal Note: Ron has taken legal action against Next Magazine for making accusations that has been cohabiting with Sire and using her money, as well as cheating on her with Kate.

Support Ron for taking legal action, and hope that he finds his Miss Right soon!
