"House of Harmony and Vengeance" Opening Theme Video


"Love Song" - Wong Cho Lam, Johnson Lee & Louis Yuen

愛歌 《耀舞長安》 主題曲 - 王祖藍/李思捷/阮兆祥

作曲: 葉肇中
填詞: 王祖藍

古詩古文古今都不會分 字典也沒有跟
找不到語文 最合我的心
高音低音譜出一種美感 或比柔情話吸引
樂理牽動誰人 曲終贈我一吻

情話動聽 都不及琴弦任性
感動隨聲 流入你壯麗心境
合奏著偉大愛歌 天也感到震驚
愛 響徹懸崖和絕嶺
你聽一聽 地老天荒做憑證
來年就像這歌 快樂感性

"House of Harmony and Vengeance" Episode 1

Personal Note: Don't like the song, and it doesn't sound ancient at all.

Kenneth Ma Thinks That He Does Not Have Enough Rumours

The other day, Kenneth Ma filmed an advertisement for a skin care centre, and he also appeared with wavy hair for the first time. He laughingly said, "Was not used to it at first, but looks more pleasing to the eyes the more [I] look at it". He is also more cautious about his appearance than in the past, constantly looking in the mirror during filming. He said, "I understand that looks and appearance are important for an artiste...look better, so can attract the opposite sex and fans. This should be a bonus!"

In addition, Kenneth actually thinks that he does not have enough rumours...otherwise, fame could be greater: "Everyone is afraid of rumours. I, on the other hand, am afraid of not having enough rumours...the more the better!"

Personal Note: Ma Ming's hair was long for "Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles", so his hair had to be styled this way. :P

He he.... Not the first time that Men's Skin Centre (MSC) has used a mirrored image in the ad. :)

Pakho Chau, Ron Ng, Mainland artiste Mickey He, etc. designed 'Denim' concept artistic products for a French fashion brand, including a bulldog, a bicycle, a bouquet of flowers, and an airplane for a charity auction. Pakho placed the concept on a bicycle. He said, "France makes me think of the Tour de France. The French's lifestyle is leisurely. I hope to be like them...do the things that I like without worry".

Ron chose a bouquet of flowers for his artistic product concept. He said, "France is an extremely romantic country. Seeing the couples there holding hands, the feeling is very romantic. France's national flower, the iris, is most representative of love and the yearning for freedom".

Personal Note: Ron looks good here. :) He he.... Really like his earlobes! :P

Last night, Kenneth Ma, Kenny Wong, and Rose Chan attended the opening event of a new store for the fashion brand Coach. Kenneth and Kenny were the last guests to appear. The two guys were also arranged by the organizer to appear with the latest handbags.

Negative Reports Treated as Promotion for New Series

After the broadcast of the new series "Gloves Come Off", Nancy Wu, who took part, has been labelled as the 'New Generation Flirt' who is always electrifying. Kenneth thinks that these news are to promote the new series. Also, 'electrifying' is a necessity for artistes, taking action to protect his former love. "Necessary to be electrifying so that male fans have a fantasy. (Nancy said to be taking over for Charmaine Sheh?) I have never experienced Charmaine's electricity". When asked whether he had experienced Nancy's electricity, he laughingly said, "You already said it out. I don't have to answer. (Have you gotten electrified recently?) I also want to". Kenneth said that Nancy portrays a deaf and mute character in "Gloves"; the difficulty is quite high. In addition, good brother Kevin Cheng stars, so will definitely watch their performance.

Jessica Hsuan Appears on ATV and Talks About TVB

After artiste Jessica Hsuan left TVB, [she] recently appeared on ATV and accepted an "A Date with Eva" interview. Jessica left TVB, where she worked for 19 years. She said that it was because she encountered some unhappy matters; therefore, [she] chose a road that would be fitted for her. Jessica said that Bobby Au Yeung and Louis Koo are her most compatible partners, but also experienced the feeling of having difficulty in pulling out when filming a scene with Louis; however, she emphasized that it was because of the character, not Louis. She would also often remind herself to be immersed when acting, but must pull out of character after filming has finished.


Personal Note: This is not the first time that Jessica has mentioned 'Tsui Fei'. :)

Anita Yuen and husband Julian Cheung, in a rare instance, attended a skin care product ribbon cutting event. Anita frankly said that the fee was very good. She said that, apart from wanting to look good for work, her husband usually does not pay attention to what he wears...can wear the undershirt that he wears to sleep outside. When friends see that Julian has worn the same outfit for a few days, will know that Anita is out of town.

Julian expressed that his personality is rather carefree...does not really pay attention to fashion. Really dares to go out in sleepwear. He laughingly said that, under Anita's supervision, he looks more like a celebrity. Anita immediately added that her husband must look good in order to put food on the table. Don't have to eat her own...can eat her husband's.

Personal Note: Chi Lam has always been 「woo wear」! :P

Chi Lam looks good at the event, but don't like the no-socks look!

Playful Nathan Ngai Taking on Entertainment Industry

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

0102

In the TVB series "The Hippocratic Crush", male newcomer Nathan Ngai, who played Kenneth Ma's younger brother, had much opportunity to shine. Although Nathan was disabled in the series, he is actually a good athlete. Previously a basketball team captain in high school and having won track-and-field competitions, he expressed that, if [he] had not entered the entertainment industry, [he] believes that he would already be a firefighter: "People around me say that I am always playing around...very fitted to be an artiste, so gave up trying to be a firefighter. Thus, if the "Burning Flame" franchise is filming again, hope to be able to take part!"

When mentioning that he and Miss Chinese International Candy Chang had a pure romantic storyline in the series, Nathan highly praised her as being a silly girl who brings happiness to everyone, but laughingly said that he is rather traditional, as he prefers gentle, well-behaved girls.

Personal Note: Track-and-field wasn't mentioned in Nathan's previous interviews...indeed very sporty!

Kelly Chen's youngest son Lau Sam (Xiaolongbao) has finally been revealed. Today, Xiaolongbao is one month old. Kelly specially revealed her son's photos on her blog. [Can] see that Xiaolongbao's eyeline is very long, and should have big eyes like his mom, but many think that Xiaolongbao resembles daddy more; however, his mouth and chin resemble Kelly. Big brother Lau Sing (Shrimp Dumpling Boy) also kisses [his] younger brother, and would also go over to say hi to [his] younger brother every day after school. Kelly accepted a radio interview over the telephone, and expressed that breastfeeding is not laborious, but there are times when she would have back pain. She does not plan on having a one-month banquet or a one-hundred day banquet...will only have a simple family dinner. Whether [she] would try for a girl is dependent on fate. In a half-month's time, she will officially begin work by recording a new album. The cake shop in which she is the ambassador for also specially designed a 'Xiaolongbao' dessert for Xiaolongbao for her to give to her family and friends.

Personal Note: Riley looks like a combination of Kelly and Alex! :)

Chace looks cuter now!

Suen Ho Ho Talks About Wayne Lai, Kenneth Ma & Jessica Hsuan

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

This is a translation of the sections in which former TVB copy editor Suen Ho Ho (whose works include "Virtues of Harmony II", "The Silver Chamber of Sorrows", "Marriage of Inconvenience", "When Easterly Showers Fall on the Sunny West", "You're Hired", "The King of Snooker", "Beauty Knows No Pain", "Sisters of Pearl", "L'Escargot", "The Hippocratic Crush", and "Ghetto Justice II") talked about Wayne Lai, Kenneth Ma, and Jessica Hsuan.

It is known that Wayne Lai has been working in TV for many years, but he never rushed to climb up, thereby turning down evil roles, because of this. He would not request to have his character Wu Chengsi in "The Greatness of a Hero" become likable. Thus, the success that he has gained today is not only well-deserved, but also commands public respect and support.

Remember when preparing for "The Hippocratic Crush", lead Kenneth Ma was still filming "Three Kingdoms RPG"...only able to rest for three or four hours every day...basically half-dead, but needed him to come hear the story. This is the first time working with Kenneth...didn't expect him to be so professional. He does not only listen, but [he] also listens attentively. When discussing certain segments, he would be so touched that [his] eyes would become red and teary...extremely immersed. Thus, 'Yat Kin Tau', which was performed by him, became very popular afterward...it's not that there's no reason for it.

Also worked with Jessica Hsuan once a few years ago. Because the filming was rushed at that time, and the series crew was rushing day and night, she did not have time to look at the later part of the script...was not clear about the the story's development, so specially came and asked for an explanation of the later part of the storyline. After hearing it, she was very nervous because [she] was worried that her previous execution was incorrect. As a TV station's first-line fa dan, but was willing to candidly admit that there was a problem with her execution...a person with such an attitude, there are not that many in the entire TV station...the majority would only blame the script for not being good enough.

Personal Note: Always nice to read what behind-the-scenes people have to say about artistes!

Although Madam Lo is only a few years older than KK, she seems much older, since she has been playing housewife characters for many years.

He he.... Selena and Natalie's Chinese names mixed up again, as their names are quite similar and quite common. Also remember Ma Ming mixing their names at the fitting of "The Life and Times of a Sentinel", as well as Aimee referring to Natalie as 'Si Wan' during the photo shoot of TVB's 2009 calendar! :P

'Lazy One' is indeed a funny and easy way to remember Selena's Chinese name! :D

Louise Lee Talks About Ruco Chan & Ron Ng on "The Green Room"


Derek Li: "In 'Ruse of Engagement', you play Ruco Chan and Ron Ng's mother, right?"

Louise Lee: "Yes. Two handsome guys' mother".

Derek Li: "What do you think of these two handsome guys?"

Louise Lee: "Actually, they both have a different feeling. I think that Ruco is quite good. His look is both good and evil. He can be a villain, but also good as a protagonist. Previously in 'The Other Truth', I also think that his results can be seen. In this series, he also carries a heavy weight. As for the other one [Ron], don't have to say. He is also my neighbour now. Most of the time, he gives others the feeling that he is a sunshine boy and is also a handsome guy".

Derek Li: "He has a lot of paparazzi following him now. Would it...."

Louise Lee: "Doesn't really affect me. Very happy to be with them. We filmed the entire series quite happily. It is very labourious for them. My two sons have to be under the sun and get poured on by the rain every day...also have to fight".

Personal Note: The series is called 《叛逆》 now? Looking forward to it!

TVB artiste Nathan Ngai met Marie Zhuge for the first time at a function, and he praised her as being a pretty girl. He, who said that he is not dating now, expressed that it is most important that their personalities match when choosing a girlfriend. Would be better if the person is from outside the industry. The company did not prohibit him from dating. He is not worried about having rumours with his female colleagues because he will keep a distance from them. He also admitted that the character 'Cheung Yat Hong' has brought him more jobs, and he has appeared at more functions. He is very thankful to the series' producer.

Personal Note: Nathan is definitely appearing at more functions after signing a management contract with TVB. :)
