tvbsales07
"Rouge Merchant"
Cast: Sheren Tang, Wayne Lai, Ron Ng, Elliot Yue, Kiki Sheung, Susan Tse, Kara Hui, Suki Chui, and Nancy Wu

This series should be very good. From producer Lee Tim Sing who did last year's "Salt Traders", but this one is about rice. The series is full of talented actors and actresses. Anticipating it!

"Chau Heung Angers Tong Bak Fu"
Cast: Moses Chan, Myolie Wu, Ha Yu, Lai Lok Yi, Johnson Lee, Fala Chen, Elaine Yiu, Joel Chan, Evergreen Mak, and Savio Tsang

Myolie Wu: This Chau Heung is very good in martial arts. After a few days of filming, I have already encountered scenes where the fighting turns into flying, and this is my first series where I use wires. It is very exciting. This is also my first time pairing up with Moses Chan. He is truly an expert at comedy and very fun to work with. His version of Tong Bak Fu is like a 'Caucasian reciting Chinese poetry'. It is hilarious! We don't have many NGs, but it is rather difficult not to laugh.

"General Chai and Lady Balsam"
Cast: Damian Lau, Kathy Chow, Kenneth Ma, Dominic Lam, Angela Tong, Toby Leung, and Kristal Tin

"Grand Entrepreneur" (The Money Temptation of Crime)
Cast: Ray Lui, Gallen Lo, Anita Yuen, Kenix Kwok, Jaime Chik, Joe Ma, Nancy Sit, Bernice Liu, Kenneth Ma, and Toby Leung

Kenneth Ma: It is really rare to be able to work with all of these veterans. The series is based on family gratitude, grudges, and rivalry in love. The storyline is extremely powerful! I am very happy to work with Gallen Lo again. I remember the first and only time was in "At the Threshold of an Era", and at the time, I only graduated from TVB's acting class, and I was very green. I hope this time I will get the chance to learn from him again.

Bernice Liu: We all filmed our individual parts for the promotional clip separately, so I am really anticipating the final result. I hope it will give audiences a mysterious feeling when watching it. I am most happy to see Kenix Kwok again because the last time was "Love Bond", and that was four years ago.

Bernice is not going to be in this series and Sharon Chan will be included instead.

"Legend of Superwoman"
Cast: Ada Choi, Moses Chan, Kenny Wong, Raymond Cho, Rachel Kan, Catherine Chau, Oceane Zhu, and Charmaine Xu

Kenny Wong: Ada Choi will be playing a person with the abilities to fly, and I will also have super powers. The series will be transformed into a cartoon style, which will be filmed into an 'out of this world' production for audiences to see. It is a very rare type of series genre and Ada's sexy performance will be one of the selling points of the series.

Ada Choi: I have been doing wire scenes during the three days of filming for the Sales Presentation clip. I have never filmed so many wire scenes compared to filming ancient series in the past. It is pretty labour-intensive work. Other than that, I have to change costumes in a matter of seconds. For example, all of a sudden, I'll have a very fit figure. It is actually quite a big burden, plus I have to tie my hair up in a ponytail. It has already damaged my scalp. It is quite a sacrifice.

Storyline:
The female lead is an ordinary HK girl with an ordinary job, and her love life is blank. She always hopes for miracles to fall upon her. Under some lucky spell, she encounters a mysterious powder rouge and transforms into a gorgeous super heroine. Other than her full-time boring office job, she starts to work as a part-time heroine saving people in danger. This miracle changes her love life. Her once blank love life is surrounded by three guys: a rich playboy, a self-absorbed cop, and a petty office man. The three of them also have super powers.

tvbsales13
"D.I.E. II"
Cast: Roger Kwok, Sonija Kwok, Derek Kwok, Mimi Lo, Kwok Fung, Ellesmere Choy, and Kitty Yuen

tvbsales14
"Palace Scheme"
Cast: Charmaine Sheh, Moses Chan, Kevin Cheng, Tavia Yeung, Susanna Kwan, Michelle Yim, Fala Chen, and Kara Hui

It will be a female-oriented series circling the Tang Dynasty. Charmaine and Tavia start off playing young palace maids. Charmaine's character will slowly climb to become the highest Sheung Gung. Tavia will be playing a big villain in the series. Her character will resort to all means to seduce the Emperor, Moses, to become an imperial concubine. Michelle's character will also be evil. Charmaine and Tavia will both fall for imperial guard Kevin Cheng.

Fala will not be in this series, and Selena Li has confirmed that she will film the series next February. Michelle Yim revealed that the filming process will take at least six months.

"Heaven and Earth"
Cast: Nick Cheung, Bowie Lam, Moses Chan, Maggie Shiu, Charmaine Sheh, Sheren Tang, Kate Tsui, and Louise Lee

tvbsales16
"Horoscope Prince"
Cast: Julian Cheung, Steven Ma, Tavia Yeung, Mandy Cho, Kingdom Yuen, Law Lok Lam, Lau Dan, Benny Chan Chin Pang, and Ram Chiang

Chi Lam had rejected the role. The cast is now Steven, Tavia, and Michael Tse.

"Vampire Mother-in-Law Battles Godzilla"
Cast: Liza Wang, Myolie Wu, Bosco Wong, Derek Kwok, Joyce Tang, and Benz Hui

巴不得爸爸
Cast: Ron Ng, Sunny Chan, Myolie Wu, Shirley Yeung, John Chiang, Gigi Wong, and Chun Wong

The producer for this series is going to be Poon Ka Tak, and the genre is a time-travel comedy. Ron and Sunny will be playing father and son. At this moment, we do not know who is going to play which role. This just reminds me of Tony Leung Ka Fai and Tony Leung Chiu Wai's 1993 movie "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Father".

狗唔狗 親親爺爺
Cast: Chung King Fai, Louise Lee, and Fala Chen

The producer will be Amy Wong, and this will be the sequel to "My Family" but with a new cast and a new plot. It will be based on dogs and the relationship between the grandfather.

寫我仙凡間
Cast: Linda Chung, Fala Chen, Ron Ng, Sunny Chan, Elliot Yue, and Bak Yan

This series will be based on the "Dark Tales" stories.

  1. Hi Hyn5, I always read your blog to know the latest news and things about TVB and about Selena. I'm Selena Fansource's (http://selena.tkn-portrait.net) owner and I read in this posting about Palace Scheme that Selena has confirmed to be inside. Where did you heard that from? You asked her personally? Hahas..

    Thank you! And keep up your good work!

  2. Hello Lizzy,

    Selena said herself that she will be filming "Palace" in February. Also, an insider from TVB 富貴貓Marie said she was going to be in it before Selena said it.

  3. Hi Hyn5! Thanks for replying on my comment, after I read the info in your posting, I posted up in my Selena Fansource. But today I suddenly got warned by Selena FC leader that I have to remove the information. She said that it's still unconfirmed and that I better not post about it temporarily on the web? :(

  4. Hi Lizzy,

    There is still a lot of time from now to February. Things might still change. TVB can out of nowhere take her out of it and send Selena to "Strictly Come Dancing 3." You never know for sure.

    However, Fala is not going to be "Palace Scheme."
