Because Gun Metal Grey seems to be neglected at the TVB Anniversary, and the lack of promotions, the two leading male leads Felix Wong and Michael Miu express their dissatisfaction. TVB Production Department Director (Ho Lai Chuen) expressed that a meeting will be held soon to discuss how to fix the situation, he stressed that they will arrange the Gun Metal Grey cast to attend the awards ceremony in attempt to "put out the fire" and end the two Big Brother's anger.

Ho Lai Chuen attended an event yesterday, and when speaking of not inviting Felix Wong and Michael Miu to the TVB Anniversary Gala? He explained that the two failed to do the rehearsal on time, but Felix and Michael are invited to the Anniversary Awards Ceremony: "Actually Raymond Lam was able to make it back for the anniversary, but there is no reason for him to just make an appearance and have no performance. The only part that didn't need rehearsing was the satirical skit in the opening, but it's Eric Tsang who didn't dare to play them!" Michael and Felix felt that Gun Metal Grey was being neglected, Ho Lai Chuen said: "Will get a better understanding of the situation! Why would there not be enough promotions? After all, it is an anniversary series, TVB really value them!"

Although there has already been a TVB executive who came forward to explain, Felix's anger still hasn't died down yet during the interview last night. When mentioning his series being ignored, he exploded and indirectly insulted the TVB biological sons!
Reporter: What do you think of Ho Lai Chuen's explanation?

Felix: What does this have to do with him? The more explanations, the more they are trying to hide!

Reporter: TVB Anniversary producer (Wai Sai Fai) said he always has his phone on, artists can call him whenever they feel unsatisfied?

Felix: My phone is always on too! Did TVB contact me? Did they call me? But, a large TV Station has their own way of doing things, no need to explain too much! The viewers now are very smart, don't try to smother and rape the public again! It's not what show they say is good, is going to be good!

Reporter: Are you attending the TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony?

Felix: Who values their awards! It's just a game, they like to give the award to whoever they like! I don't want to be used as a chess piece by other. I have my own style, whatever I don't like, I will speak up.

Reporter: Won't shoot another series for TVB again?

Felix: When the time comes I'll decide, it is two different issues. I should worry if Gun Metal Grey will be counted in or not!

Reporter: Comments so intense, your not worried revenge will be taken later?

Felix: Worry about what? Don't let me enter TVB City then!

Wai Sai Fai: Refuse to Apologize

As Felix burst again in his comments, Ho Lai Chuen accepted another interview over the phone last night and said: "In fact, the producer also wanted big stars to attend, won't say who to promote or who to suppress. (Apologize to him?) Tomorrow, we will have a meeting to discuss how to handle the situation, will get a professional to talk with him because after all it has been a while since we collaborated and the series is getting such good ratings. I don't want us to have any misunderstandings."

As for TVB Anniversary producer (Wai Sai Fai), he expressed that the anniversary program is suppose to be happy, such situation shouldn't be happening and refuses to apologize: "Actually if he has any dissatisfaction, then should tell TVB about it and not tell the media about it!"

Tong Kei Ming: It's unfair

As for Gun Metal Grey producer (Tong Kei Ming) expressed that Felix has always been popular, but strongly supporting him is not for promotions: "He's just expressing his opinion, it is unfair, but Wai Sai Fai is being passive! (Felix said he's not going to the awards ceremony.) He's going on a transformation, detached status, and does not care about the awards, but it be more enjoyable if the game is played together. (He doesn't want to be a chess piece being used by people?) Everyone in this world is a chess piece."

Michael Miu who agreed with Felix, said TVB should take the initiative to contact him. Towards Ho Lai Chuen's explanation, he also didn't really by it: "I don't have much opinion, thank them for responding! (Attending the awards ceremony?) Decide when the time comes, I am currently working, don't worry if I'm going or not."

Yesterday Louis Koo attended an opening ceremony for Mirror Of Wanhua Stage's Winter Dreams and was asked about the recent action taken by the government to strike at the housing market. Louis felt that the measure this time is 'spicy' enough, but he's only focused on buying low price properties, so does not affect him much. As a luxury home owner, is he worried the measure will affect the price of his house? He said: "It's hard to estimate, last time it didn't cool down, hopefully this time it will. I basically bought the house to live in, rarely using it for investments, I can consider it as a long term investment. I only bought one house to live in, and the one I lived in previously hasn't been sold yet, that's why the public thinks I have so many properties. The current housing prices in HK really are expensive, the money I earn really is from sweat and blood. Within these 1-2 years, I will be cautious and won't be investing."

Louis' ligament foot injury still has not fully recovered yet, he expressed that after the surgery, the fastest recovery will be before Lunar New Year. However, his schedule is lined up until the end of next year and he has to rush to finish shooting the Lunar New Year film, so has not had time for physical therapy, he said: "Doctor said at the current stage, it is the most dangerous because can easily break, so even if I'm really tired after work, I will still take some time off to jog for physical therapy in order to avoid muscle atrophy." Louis also expressed that he'll attend Miriam Yeung's wedding, but has not decided on the wedding gift. Has he considered to re-enact the passionate kiss that happened at her concert as a gift? He said: "Not good! Leave that for her husband to do!"

Recently Steven Ma has been busy shooting for new series Thunder of the Forbidden Palace and was very happy to find out that his series with Fala Chen Links to Temptation is replacing Gun Metal Grey 9:30pm time slot. Steven said: "Although I'm covered with cuts and bruises from shooting Forbidden Palace, but when I heard my series is going to air soon, whatever pain I have I can survive!" Steven is also not worried about the broadcast time slot of the series because a good series will have audiences' support no matter what time it is.

In the series Links to Temptation, it is Fala's first female lead role, she said: "I love to partner up with my brother (Steven Ma), he has always loved me and can keep secrets. I would usually tell him my concerns and what's on my mind." Fala wishes her brother gets the TV King title this year: "It would be best if we could both win together for Ghost Writer!"

Joyce Cheng and her boyfriend Mark Ryan have been dating for 4 years. Mark has several different positions - a triathlon, a teacher, a designer and an artist. However, most recently Mark has been labeled as a playboy.

Mark came to HK several years ago as an English teacher, in the recent year he has become the Course Director of the Kids PhD Education Center, personally writing up his own curriculum for the young students. A career in teaching has helped Mark gain a deeper understanding of the teaching concepts HK parents have for their children. Because Mark knows Lei Dou Bar's boss, and he knows that Mark is a designer, so invited Mark to draw on the walls of the bar. Mark conveyed the HK education perspective that he knows in his drawings.

Yesterday Joyce Cheng accepted a radio interview and personally admitted that Mark Ryan is her boyfriend. She said: "Last month, I already announced it on a radio program." As for the rumors of her break up with Mark? Joyce shared her love story. Turns out that the two went to the same university, but did not know each other then. It was only until when the two went on an online dating site and saw each other's photo resembling a model that they found attractive, so the made arrangements to meet up. This year it is already their 4th year of dating. Joyce laughed and said the first time they had 'western food', Mark had a very good temper: "My mom called him 'Ah Jai'. If my mom wasn't listening and didn't watch what she was eating, once Mark says one word, she becomes very obedient and stops. I asked Mark before what he likes about me, he said that love can't be explained. We have consensus for marriage."

As for her boyfriend putting his fresco paintings on the walls in Lan Kwai Fong? She said: "I saw the news. (Did you give him advice?) I have absolutely zero talent in drawing." Asked if the two have the same interests? Joyce thought for a moment before answering: "I like him, he likes me!"

Also, recently Mark has been labeled as a playboy. Mark responded saying that he really doesn't understand why the public thinks he's a playboy: "I never done anything, is it because I appeared in Lan Kwai Fong? Fortunately I don't understand Chinese, or else it'll be hard to bear. (Joyce said you had marriage consensus with her?) We are still young, life is short, don't think too much, if you like it, then go for it. When dating someone, don't have to explain, I don't like to say too much because I don't want the public to be focusing on our relationship. Joyce and I will go do things we like and dream of doing"

The two hot favorite TV King candidates Wayne Lai and Moses Chan were deliberately arranged to go against each other a few times at the TVB 43rd Anniversary Gala held last night. During the "CBML-NR Verbal Battle", they were rapping against each other. Moses had a satisfactory performance, while Wayne seemed strained in his performance, clearly losing the beat, but it's better than Pierre Ngo's dead air.

Later, Wayne and Moses battle again during the "TV King Scene Battle", where the two switch roles. Wayne was 'Dak Dak Dei' from Heart of Greed, while Moses was 'Chai Gau' from Rosy Business. Wayne had to do a love scene with King Kong who was pretending to be 'Seung Joi Sum'. He was able to hold in his laughter to do the acting, clearly better than Moses, therefore wins back the battle.

Towards the rumors that Moses is using a contract in exchange for an award, Wayne laughed: "Really? Don't tell me to exchange one! He's good, why not we each exchange a half... just kidding. I don't believe in 'contract exchange for an award'." Moses also denied: "There's still a few years before my contract with TVB expires, no one came to talk to me about extending the contract, I don't care about these gossips."

Less than a month after Charlene Choi released her third solo Cantonese album Beauty Remains , album sales have already surpassed Platinum sales. Although Ah Sa only previously had one promotional event for her album, album sales have already exceeded platinum sales certification with many thanks to fans. Recently in Hong Kong, a celebration was held where EEG chairman was present to award Charlene for the great results. Ah Sa stated her shock at the positive results, saying: "Actually I'm very surprised to be awarded this prize this time because there wasn't even time to promote the album." When asked what was the reason, Charlene explained that there was no time to promote the album because she had to rush back to Mainland to continue filming. At present, Charlene is filming with Jet Li and Eva Huang. Charlene has expressed that she hopes to take time before releasing her next solo album, but she has been continuing to work on her self-compositions during her down-time.

The 13th episode of TVB's anniversary series Gun Metal Grey broadcast last night, but the Broadcasting Authority (BA) received 3 different complaints on Stone Sir (Felix Wong) becomes irrational and his sudden hostile appearance is disturbing; defaming the photography industry; the pornography and rape camera angles were consciously harmful to watch.

The story was about the police trying to arrest a psychotic rapist who first rapes young models and then murders them. The photographer rapist Franky (Stephen Huynh) encounters undercover police officer Man Si (Nancy Wu) who appears sexily to seduce him. Franky does a sexy photoshoot for Man Si, where she does seductive poses, causing Franky to reveal his intentions to kill. But unfortunately, he eventually found out and escaped. Later, Franky tries to capture Man Si's older sister Man Him (Jessica Hsuan), but she bit his arm and got away. Stone Sir (Felix Wong) becomes really angry and charges after him up the stairs into the studio. When Stone Sir sees Franky pour boiling water on his bitten arm to destroy the evidence, Stone Sir held an angry fist and threw a chair at Franky.

The series has very bold camera angles on the rape and sexy photoshoot and because of this, the scenes received complaints. Also, the psychotic photographer role was said to be defaming the photography industry.
