Kenneth Ma's Wave in "Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles" Dependent on Clips

Kenneth Ma is temporarily not as eye-catching as his promiscuous father, Damian Lau, in "Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles"; however, Kenneth's hairstyle is very eye-catching. Yesterday, a netizen posted a picture of him before his hair was set. Actually very cute...used three big hair clips to create a wave...like a young lady. Afterward, someone put Kenneth's wave and added two variation versions--one was Kazuhiko Hanawa, while the other was Astro Boy. All three having this hairstyle...definitely full of cuteness.

According to an expert, Kenneth's hairstyle is called a 'finger wave'...a traditional hairstyle, which is a basic skill that must be learned by those learning how to set hairstyles. Tang Wei also had this in "Lust, Caution".

Personal Note: Ha ha.... Ma Ming looks so cute! :P Always thought that his hair resembled Kazuhiko Hanawa, but never thought of Astro Boy! :P

TVB 2013 Calendar Preview

0013

01
January
Bosco Wong, Aimee Chan, Kate Tsui, Raymond Lam & Linda Chung

The same group from January 2009, with the addition of Aimee.... Should have used a nicer background to match what the artistes were wearing! Don't know why Linda is off to the side and is the only one smiling.... o_O

02
February
Roger Kwok, Michael Tse, Michael Miu, Tavia Yeung & Fala Chen

This was supposed to be a festive theme with a lot of red in it.... What's with the wallpaper background?! o_O Don't like how the guys are in the back and are separated from the girls....

03
March
Nancy Wu, Christine Kuo, Kristal Tin, Mandy Wong, Sharon Chan & Selena Li

Remember Mandy saying that the girls would be wearing elegant evening gowns, but it looks more like a girls' night out...don't like the poses! Christine looks like Koni Lui here. Mandy's makeup looks bad.... o_O

04
April
Vincent Wong, Him Law, Jason Chan, Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Lai Lok Yi & Edwin Siu

Thought that the guys actually went to a shipyard to shoot this, but it looks computer-generated! Only Ron looks good here. Did not recognize Ma Ming.... o_O' Surprised that Lai Lok Yi's in here...would have liked to see Tsui Wing or Benjamin Yuen instead (actually quite surprised that no Mr. HKs were included in the calendar).

05
May
Nancy Sit, Susanna Kwan, Louise Lee & Michelle Yim

The same group from February 2009, with the exception of Kiki Sheung.... The poses are better here, but nothing special in this month.

06
June
Evergreen Mak, Lau Dan, Sunny Chan, Raymond Wong, Ben Wong & Raymond Cho

The most photoshopped month! The white collars and bow ties make me think of the Chippendales..... o_O

07
July
Toby Chan, Carat Cheung, Sonija Kwok, Rebecca Zhu & Tracy Ip

The picture for this month was definitely one of the better ones! Sonija still looking radiant among her juniors!

08
August
Samantha Ko, Lin Xia Wei, Natalie Tong, Eliza Sam, Sire Ma, Katy Kung & Vivien Yeo

Like the confined box, but don't like the shiny legs.... Surprised that Vivien is in here, as she doesn't seem to be a promoted artiste (would have preferred Elaine Yiu or Oceane Zhu)....

09
September
King Kong, Louis Yuen, Johnson Lee, Wong Cho Lam & Amigo Choi

Nothing special about this picture....

10
October
Eric Tsang, Astrid Chan, Liza Wang, Carol Cheng, Patrick Dunn & Natalis Chan

Hosts were never included in previous years...an indication that many big names are no longer in TVB....

11
November
Kevin Cheng, Wayne Lai, Myolie Wu & Moses Chan

Glamourously dressed, but such a bad background! Wayne, in particular, looks chok and constipated! o_O

12
December
Kenny Wong, Eddie Kwan, Ruco Chan, Koni Lui, Ngo Ka Nin, Queenie Chu & Oscar Leung

This was also one of the better months, especially since the artistes looked more natural in their poses and expressions. Didn't know that Eddie still has a contract with TVB....

Linda Chung and Ruco Chan Dating in the '80s

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

01

TVB artistes Linda Chung and Ruco Chan were in Jordan filming a Sales Presentation clip for the new series "Big Wheel". The storyline was about Ruco, who portrays a cop, saving Linda from the hands of a robber. Because of this, the two develop feelings for each other.

Linda, who had an '80s look, said, "In the series, I go from ten-something to forty-something. This is an '80s look. In the series, I portray a wealthy girl who dates Ruco without caring about family pressure. There are many romantic dating scenes. Will even have a short hairstyle after becoming a successful woman...will be performing in a wig".

Ruco has great expectations for the new series. He said, "I really like the script...has a lot of feeling. Because there are many Hong Kong stories intersecting, will have the feeling of watching 'The Greed of Man' and 'Vanity Fair' in the past. I will go from young to old. I have great expectations for this series. Hope that it will become a series that will resonate with viewers and bring memories".

Personal Note: "Big Wheel" will touch on the Hong Kong Goldsmiths Shops Robbery in 1991, so this should be Linda and Ruco's '90s look.

- This is a modern-style ancient series with a manga-like look. The series has fantasy and wuxia combined with comedy and tragedy. The story will revolve around the legend of Liang Zhu. Lead Raymond Wong will continually reenact the stories of Liang Zhu with different females. The romantic storyline will be rather tragic, but it will use comedic elements as a packaging, combined with tragedy, to bring a fresh feeling.
- Raymond will play Chor Yat Chin (初一箭), a constable. He was born with no hair. After being kidnapped, he became a beggar. He was later saved by Evergreen Mak, and was taken to KK Cheung, who raised him. He is very intelligent. Everyone thinks that he is suitable to be a monk. Because of his chok looks, all the members of the opposite sex in the city are enchanted by him, including the beautiful gangster Priscilla Wong and Whitney Hui. He will constantly perform the relationships in the legend of Liang Zhu with different females. Because of his experience in the love department, the skin on his head suddenly changes, with the hair growing out and the head aching.
- Priscilla will play Foon Hei (歡喜), a crude thief who has a crush on Raymond.
- Evergreen will play Wan Tin Pong (尹天邦), Raymond's childhood saviour. He was originally a hooligan. He will influence the fate of many people.
- Kaki Leung will play Foon Ching (歡靜), a thief who is a mute.
- Cilla Kung will play Foon Siu (歡笑), a thief who is the best at martial arts in a family of thieves.
- Helena Law will play Foon Shu (歡恕), the guardian in a family of thieves.
- KK will play Lok Mo Ngai (樂無涯), Raymond's master. He was always not willing to accept Raymond as a disciple because he knows about the knot in Raymond's heart. He and Amy Fan have a thought-provoking relationship. He later goes missing, and his hair becomes white overnight.
- Whitney will play Wan Yau (溫柔), a constable who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She has a fiery and forthright personality. She will have a romantic storyline with Raymond and Mat Yeung.
- Mat will play Ching Ying Hung (程英雄), a constable. He is Raymond's subordinate.
- Amy will play Mok Sau (莫愁). She and KK have a thought-provoking relationship.
- Mikako Leung will play Foon Tim (歡甜), a thief.
- Kelvin Chan will play Bak Sui (北水), a constable.
- Benjamin Yuen and Katy Kung will guest-star as a couple.

FYI: The official English title of this series is "Karma Rider".

Personal Note: Was already not interested in this series after learning about the cast and the title, but the fact that it is a modern-style ancient series is even more off-putting. 囧!

Since Raymond is still filming "Record of the Fifth Day Opening", he should only be able to begin filming this series in mid-November, and he will be shaving his head then.

Personal Note: The pace of the first two episodes was actually not as slow as expected. Will definitely continue to watch the series!

Damian has a really strong presence...like how he says his English dialogue!

Quite like the brotherly relationship between Ma Ming and Vincent! Also like the chemistry between Mary Jeh and Elena!

During the "Scoop" interview, funny how Skye Chan asked Ma Ming whether he had a love line with Tavia. From following the news on this series, knew that they had no romantic relations; however, when Ma Ming first saw Tavia without her Hua Dan makeup in the series, it did seem as though his character liked her. :P

Idy mentioned a number of times that Damian told her to do her homework, as there are many artistes in the series who have the potential to overshadow her.

J2 Clip

TVB8 Clip

01020304050607080910

TVB's anniversary series "Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles" will be premiering tonight. Yesterday, the cast had a wedding theme to promote the series.

The series' three newlyweds, Damian Lau and Tavia Yeung, Kenneth Ma and Rebecca Zhu, and Sire Ma and Adrian Chau, entered in pre-modern wedding attire. Under the witness of other cast members, they read out their vows. When Kenneth was reading out his vows to Rebecca, he laughingly said, "Very impatient. In a rush to consummate the marriage". Following this, he said to Ron Ng, who has romantic relations with Rebecca: "I'll take her physically. You take her heart". This caused Ron to look embarrassed.

Afterward, they played games that tested their love. With their eyes covered, the guys had to recognize their partners from the touch of their hands. While Adrian was seen using a light touch, Kenneth showed no hesitation, holding tightly onto the hand of the female artiste. Even when Ron's hand was added in between, also needed to touch for a long time while laughingly saying, "Why would there be a woman with such a rough hand?" In the end, Adrian lost the game, so he was punished to lift up Sire; the two also graciously accepted. Kenneth, who won, also had to lift up Rebecca.

00

Tavia Yeung: "Whom do I match with the most? [love you][love you][heart][heart][heart]"

Personal Note: Ha ha.... For the pictures of Ma Ming holding up Rebecca, all the captions said that he did it effortlessly, which reminded me of a "Can't Buy Me Love" promo event where Ma Ming lifted Fala with ease! :P

To answer Tavia's question on Weibo, Ron looks like her boyfriend, Damian looks like her father, Ben looks like her elder brother, while Ma Ming looks like her husband! :P

Schizophrenic Tavia Yeung Kills

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

01020304

Last night, Tavia Yeung and Ben Wong were doing location filming for the series "A Great Way to Care II". The storyline was about Tavia, who has schizophrenia, 'strangling' Lee Yee Man, but was discovered by her superior and boyfriend, Ben, who used a gun as a warning; she became afraid, so she fled. Tavia, who injured her foot earlier, was walking with a limp, but still did her own running scenes, although still needed a double to do big actions. When asked whether it was labourious to portray a schizophrenic patient, Tavia said, "It is rather strenuous. Luckily, the role does not require me to always cry intensely, but frequently has hallucinations". When discussing that boyfriend Him Law has been said to have a wealthy Mainland girlfriend, Tavia laughingly said, "Deliberate news-making! (Believe in him?) No need to talk about whether believe or not. This month is 'deliberate news-making month'...treat it as helping us to promote!"

This scene was about Tavia and Lee Yee Man having a struggle in an alley. In the end, Lee Ka Ting arrived on the scene, inadvertently killing Lee Yee Man. Ben, who portrays a cop, rushed to the scene afterward; knowing that Lee Yee Man was murdered, he pulled out his gun, preparing to arrest Lee Ka Ting. In order to protect father Lee Ka Ting, Tavia uses her body to block Ben and helps Lee Ka Ting escape the scene.

Cannot Have Too Many Awards

Ben has been frequently portraying cop roles roles recently. When asked whether he found it boring, he said, "The genre of police dramas is very diverse. I have also portrayed a cop eight times. In terms of my acting age, it would not be considered a lot...went from a PC to a Superintendent". When talking about the finale of "Highs and Lows", in which he has a part in, being revealed in which many of the leading roles have to die, he said that the reports were not entirely accurate...only revealed that Michael Miu and Kate Tsui's deaths were related to him. When he, who won last year's 'Supporting Actor' award at the anniversary, was asked whether he had confidence in repeating this year, he said, "No one can have too many awards. It's like dessert. However, I am actually already really full. If also have a dessert, would rub against the stomach!"

Laughs Toward Threats

When talking about some people leaving threatening messages on Weibo, Ben laughingly said, "Would treat them as making a joke. I plan on recommending Dr. Yat Kin Tau to them!" In his new series, he is frequently competing with Raymond Lam. When asked whether he felt that fans have been leaving threatening messages due to watching too intensely, he said, "I feel the strength of fans and feel the crazy love. It's a good thing to have a reaction, but there would always be sensible viewers who know how to differentiate".

Personal Note: So many crazy fans who can't differentiate between acting and reality...don't know why some people would take the time and effort to leave meaningless messages.

Ha ha.... Funny how Ben recommended Yat Kin Tau...expected him to say Alex Fong's psychiatrist character in "Great", but I guess Yat Kin Tau can take a look at the brain and see whether there is damage! :P

Melissa Ng Quickly Runs Away Upon Discovering Reporters

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

0102

Yesterday, Melissa Ng left her daughter to go shopping in Causeway Bay. After going to a number of famous shops, could see that she would be returning home with a full load. Although she had several bags, it was still not enough, so she went into a nearby chocolate shop to purchase some chocolate. Within five minutes, she purchased another big bag of her favourites. Melissa, who originally planned on shopping again, quickly discovered that there were reporters present, so she immediately left in a rush. After leaving the mall, she also immediately called her chauffeur to come pick her up to leave.

Personal Note: Miss seeing Melissa on screen!

Ha ha.... Just saw Melissa on Dodo Cheng's Weibo yesterday, and then she was caught shopping again! :P

Melissa still looks good! :)

Francis Ng: "Went to a wax figure museum with Issac. Rare to see Justice Pao's statue. In one's lifetime, how many opportunities are there to take a picture with Justice Pao! Immediately became excited. When looking closely, this wax figure looks really familiar...looks exactly like that well-known TV actor...Tam Ping Man!"

Bobby Au Yeung: "This is obviously Bobby Au Yeung, not Tam Ping Man! [angry][angry]"

Bobby Au Yeung: "@FrancisNg You have recognized the wrong person! [laugh with tears][laugh with tears]"

Personal Note: Ha ha.... Bobby does look like a wax figure here! :P Bobby must have visited the set of "Triumph in the Skies II"...after all, he graduated from TVB's Acting Class with Francis and is friends with Ron! :P

"Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles" Trailer & Opening Theme Video

Trailer & Opening Theme Video

Opening Theme Video

"At This Very Moment" - Fiona Sit

此時此刻 《名媛望族》 主題曲 - 薛凯琪

作曲/編曲/監製: 鄧智偉
填詞:林日曦

就在爭取中高聲叫喊 時局劇變的一刻
當此刻一雙手被你緊握 不想知你快要跟她進發

時代要一天天分薄你我未來 難得一起時別要放開
誰願意躋身於複雜裡精彩 只想與你簡單相愛

時代裡太多恐懼太多悲劇要襲來 難得擁緊時別再放開
無謂再分心於選擇裡 至少這一秒 跟前是我
只求被愛 單純地愛

Personal Note: From the preview, all the separate storylines seem interesting...quite captivating! Looking forward to the series! :D

Many intimate scenes for Ron and Elena!

Couldn't really recognize Fiona's low register at the beginning of the theme song. Quite like the song, but still think that it sounds too modern for a pre-modern series.

Gigi Wong Talks About TV Queen: More Interpersonal Than Actual Substance

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

01

When Gigi Wong, who has made the top ten for TV queen for her exquisite performance in the series "Divas in Distress", accepted a radio interview, she rejected the idea of receiving a nomination. She said, "Don't do these things. Receiving awards is about commercial value...more interpersonal than actual substance". However, she revealed that she did take notice of Mandy Wong and Eliza Sam. After collaborating with Eliza, think that her performance was not bad.

When asked which female artiste she thought highly of, Gigi said that she doesn't watch series regularly, but thought highly of Eliza. She said, "I think that Mandy and Eliza both performed very well, but Mandy was restricted by her role, so she did not stand out as much as Eliza. When I first saw Eliza's expressions during filming, already thought that she was good".

Gigi, who currently resides in Canada, expressed that she would only film one series each year. Afterward, she will film "The Hippocratic Crush II"...temporarily do not know what character she would be portraying, but heard that there would be the addition of the character Ching Chi Mei (Lawrence Ng).

Personal Note: Gigi Jeh most likely has not been updated on the info regarding the sequel. Since she played Yat Kin's mom in the first installment, it would make sense for her to reprise her role.

Wong He Imitates Psy's 'Gangnam Style'

Earlier, Wong He imitated Psy singing "Gangnam Style" on the Hunan variety programme "Your Face Sounds Familiar".


On the same episode, Fala Chen imitated Teresa Teng singing 《我只在乎你》.


Personal Note: He did the horse riding part better during rehearsal; however, he was better in the second half of the performance.

Funny how Fala said that He resembled Psy on his bottom half and Eason on his top half! :P

Kenneth Ma, Kenny Wong, and Raymond Wong returned to TVB City today to film a Sales Presentation for the series "Cold Mountain, Hidden Dragon". This series will begin filming next year. Kenneth, who has not filmed ancient series for a long time, and Raymond both portray killers in the series. Reporters laughed at Kenneth, who had long hair, for looking lustful. Kenny, who portrays the ruler of an unparallelled city, and Raymond even expressed not daring to have eye contact with Kenneth.

Kenneth explained that he is portraying Ximen with this look. The story is TVB's own creation. In the series, he will be caught between the two female leads, Aimee Chan and Priscilla Wong. Kenneth also revealed that he, Raymond, Aimee, and Priscilla will have a love square in the series. On the other hand, Raymond's look revealed his muscles. Kenny said that, because he is cold-blooded, he would be wearing more clothing.

Kenny revealed that, from what he knows about the series as of now, he will have a romantic storyline with Priscilla. Filming a dancing scene today, he will be spotted by Priscilla, who is a very incredible killer.

Personal Note: Ma Ming, Kenny, and Raymond look so 囧! The costumes are so bad! Kenny looks like a woman, while Raymond looks like an anime character! o_O

Ha ha.... Ma Ming joking about resembling Ximen Qing.... :P

"The Last Steep Ascent" Theme Song MV


"One Life, One Heart" - Hubert Wu

一生一心 《天梯》 主題曲 - 胡鴻鈞

作曲/編曲: 葉肇中
填詞: 張美賢
監製: 鄧智偉

如要行盡風吹雨打 煩惱留在背後 別再望它
將心意 種在這土壤 終可有天 成長發芽
城牆來自堆起細沙 時間成就傳說 盛載牽掛
星光裡 老樹蔭之下 用信心一塊一塊累積個家

*牆角會開花 螻蟻會搬家 誰踏上天梯在俯瞰浮華
理想有代價 美景會淡化 像一幅孤芳細賞的畫
相信嗎 緊抱她 生生世世的相愛 誰驚訝

風聲冷語殘忍嗎 雙手緊握便不怕 你明白我這種快樂嗎

無悔行盡風吹雨打 無數人物流散 未算可怕
當風雪 叫石壆倒下 讓我的寛壯肩膊承擔個家

Repeat *

多少引誘難招架 一生一心越優雅 皺紋白髮一般美麗嗎
