TVB Entertainment News

These days a lot of artistes head to Mainland to further develop their career and amongst them, many try really hard with their own blood and tears! Just like Laughing (Michael Tse 謝天華), currently participating in the Mainland reality program Survivor Games (跟着貝爾去冒險) when he had to drink his own urine.

The program's host, Bear Grylls (Man vs. Wild) taught a group of artistes from Hong Kong and Taiwan how to spot things and survive in the wild. The artistes include: Michael Tse, Janine Chang (張鈞甯), Andy Zhang (張丹峰) and more battling to eat anything from insects, worms, snails, etc. From the recent episode, Michael Tse challenged himself psychologically, trying to drink back his own urine. Grylls took the contestants into a cave and gave time for them to store their own urine. Everyone thought it was going to be used for a physcial examination and Michael even said: "I believe my body is very healthy because the colour is very good". The moment when he realised he had to drink back his own urine, he froze and stared blankly at the bottle of urine. In fact, Michael is known to be a 'real man' and later took up his courage and drank the whole bottle of urine. He gulped down the whole bottle like drinking beer! Later he said: "The taste was really bad. Maybe because I know it's my own stuff, so there was nothing uncomfortable about it".

The 47 years old TVB artiste Michael Tse(謝天華) has become a dad for the first time after his wife Tina Lee(李天恩) gave birth to a baby on February 3rd, 2015.

The couple announced the good news through TVB's variety program "Scoop(東張西望)": " Michael Tse and wife's baby is finally born. Both the mom and baby are doing well!" The sex of the baby is still unknown at this point.

The expected date for the baby was supposed to be at the end of February. But the baby chose to come out earlier than expected to celebrate the year of the goat with mom and dad.

After leaving TVB, Michael Tse (謝天華) has been developing his career in Mainland China and expressed that he was fearless to any rumours during the radio station interview. Michael added that his wife and he had established rapport long ago and will use actions to prove it instead of laying down promises, and said: "It is sufficient as long as man is able to provide security to woman.".

Michael used to be a member of boy band group of Wind Fire Sea (風火海成員), and confessed that he had illness after the disbandment. He said: "I suffer for 9 months and feel that it is 9 years. I do not want to face anybody and even question myself if I enter into the wrong industry. Eventually, I force myself to interact with people in Causeway Bay and start to recover slowly.". Michael continued that he will cherish it as it was difficult to own everything he had now.

Following the departure of several A-list actors from TVB, Michael Tse recently revealed that he has also decided not to renew his contract with the station.

'Actually I've already left [TVB] for two months. I have set up my own company named 'Laughing Workshop', and I think I'll have more freedom this way,' he said.

The actor, whose popularity soared after his role as 'Laughing Gor' in 2009's Emergency Unit, admitted in an interview that his decision was partly due to the lack of recognition from the company.

''Laughing Gor' was such a popular character and I won many awards in China because of it. And yet, I didn't manage to win anything back home,' he lamented. 'I would be lying if I say I'm not disappointed. I can only improve my EQ and learn to accept reality.'

The 46-year-old, however, emphasised that awards are not the only reason behind his decision to end his 15-year working relationship with TVB, and that he is still on good terms with his former company.

In addition, Michael also shared his plans to venture into the Chinese market in the near future. 'I'll take the chance to see what's in stall over there, but I won't give up on the Hong Kong market as well. It all depends on opportunities,' he reiterated.

Yesterday Michael Tse, Kate Tsui, Eddie Cheung, Kathy Chow, Alice Chan and Eliza Sam attended the promotional event of TVB new series Sniper Standoff. This is Michael's last TVB series before his contract expires. Asked of his future plans? He expressed he wants to concentrate on preparing for the Life of Friends Concert (歲月友情演唱會) held in November and everything else, he'll disclose in 2014. After reporters pursued the question, Michael finally blurted out he opened his own work studio called "Laughing Workshop" and may sign a management contract again. He also welcomes his friends to invest in his workshop. Asked if he'll ask Ekin Cheng, Chin Ka Lok and Jordan Chan to invest? Michael said: "They have their own companies." When asked about returning to TVB, Michael joked: "The condition is I have to work with Kate Tsui and having kiss scenes would be the best. I will be signing a per-series contract with TVB soon."

Eddie laughed and said there are too many big boys in the series, so he didn't have to show his muscles. "I'm the steel bar type, sturdy and no belly fat." Eddie revealed there are many car chase scenes in the series that he personally did himself. TVB brought heavy insurance for him and he had one accident where broken glass flew on his ear. When speaking of his TV rating expectations, Eddie said as long as the ratings surpass 30 points. "I hope to continue Triumph in the Skies II's upward trend!" Kathy also believed there won't be a problem in the ratings; she and Eddie have a relationship in the series.

Yesterday after the event, Kathy flew straight back to Beijing and temporarily won't have any more collaborations with TVB. She is currently concentrating on filming in Mainland and endorsements. This is DJ Andre Yue's first series, he played Kathy's ex-boyfriend in the series. He frankly expressed he was a little frightened when he saw the script. "My first scene was a kiss scene with my goddess Kathy. I was trembling in fear, but then I regret that we ultimately didn't have that scene. We still had strolling at the beach and proposal scenes though."

According to HK Channel, Michael, whose contract with TVB expired on 30 June, was previously rumoured to be joining Eric Tsang's new company, as well as director Johnnie To's Beijing-based Hairun Pictures.

To this, Michael clarified, "Both the rumours about me joining Eric and Johnnie's agencies are not true. There were also reports saying that I will be joining Kevin Cheng's mainland studio. But all of these are false."

The actor revealed that he is currently busy preparing for his "Young And Dangerous" reunion with co-stars Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan and the others at the Hong Kong Coliseum in November. The cast is also planning to go on tour together.

When asked whether TVB had offered him an eight-figure salary to make him stay, Michael neither admitted nor denied the report, and only stated, "Money is not my top priority. It's pointless to be paid a lot just to repeat the same performance."

He added, "I think Hong Kong is the best place for newcomers to begin their career. [The role] Laughing Gor gave me the chance to venture into the mainland market. I want to work with different people so that I can keep growing. I don't want to remain at once place."

Following reports that Michael Tse would not be renewing his TVB contract, the actor himself recently admitted the news and revealed his reasons for it.

According to TVB News, the actor, who was recording for the new "Super Trio Show: Super Nova" recently likened his decision to an end of a phase.

Revealing that he will not be renewing his contract when it expires in July, Michael explained, "It's similar to students graduating from school. They still have to advance to the next grade level. Just like Fala Chen, I am leaving to continue my education."

"Each individual makes different decisions; I want to expand my knowledge elsewhere," the actor added.

When asked if TVB tried to convince him to stay, the "Sergeant Tabloid" actor admitted that the company has offered him a great contract, but one that he had to decline as he hopes to make a breakthrough in his career.

However, the actor revealed that he will not say no to a per-series contract if such was offered to him.

When asked if the small salary was the reason for his departure, Michael stated, "It's been said for several years; TVB gives you more opportunities than money. You cannot make all the money out there. I wish to collaborate with people I haven't before."

However, when asked if he is switching over to Ricky Wong's HKTV, Michael Tse answered simply, "There are still a lot of choices."

Last night, Michael Tse was recording for the new Super Trio show Super Nova and admitted he does not plan to renew his TVB management contract when it expires in July. He expressed is is the end of a phase: "Its similar to students graduating from school, they still have to advance to the next grade level. Just as Fala Chen said, going out for continuing education. Each individual makes different decisions, I want to expand my knowledge elsewhere. (Has TVB tried to convince you to stay?) Actually the contract terms are great, but I hope for a breakthrough. (Work in Mainland?) I've always been working in both areas. (Sign a per-series contract with TVB?) It's possible. (The salary isn't good enough?) Its been said for several years, TVB gives you more opportunities than money. You cannot make all the money out there. I wish to collaborate with people I haven't before. (Switch over to Ricky Wong's HKTV?) There are still a lot of choices."

Michael Tse and Niki Chow's Sergeant Tabloid celebrated the serial's success with the other cast including Koni Lui, Grace Wong, Candice Chiu, Oceane Zhu, etc. Earlier Niki promised if the peak rating reaches 32 points, she would give Michael a kiss to thank the audience to make up for not having any kiss scenes in the series. She also let Michael choose the area to kiss. The highest peak rating for this series was 34 points.

At the celebration, Niki fulfilled her promised and gave Michael a kiss, but she turned it into a funny moment. She put plastic wrap over Michael's lips and covered his eyes before kissing him. Michael pulled off the plastic wrap and complained: "You covered my entire face, how would anyone know I'm Michael Tse?" Soon after, everyone asked Niki to do the kiss again. Michael was asked how the kiss felt? He joked: "So fake!" Niki explained because of the recent bird flu, it's better to have good hygiene.

During the interview, Niki disclosed she called Michael right before the celebration and clearly stated that he cannot make her kiss him in an inappropriate area, only allowed the five sense organs or face. She said: "When I first said it, I forgot to say clearly where I could kiss. What if he tells me to kiss somewhere that can't be seen? What if he's psycho and wants me to kiss his armpit or lower half of the body? What happens if there is hair there?" Michael said: "I initially thought of making Niki kiss my toes. She wanted to kiss me long ago, now her wish has come true."

When speaking of the possibly of a sequel? Niki expressed the earliest she can shoot another series is in 2014. TVB has also scheduled her other series A Change of Heart to air in the summer. Niki disclosed she is currently concentrated on recording for her Mandarin album that will be releasing at the end of the year. Her boss Richie Ren has got a lot of people participating in producing this album. She expressed her Mandarin is considered passing, but she's feeling nervous because this is her first Mandarin album.

Yesterday Niki Chow, Michael Tse, Matthew Ko, Grace Wong, William Chak, Koni Lui and the rest of the cast of TVB series Sergeant Tabloid attended the promotional event. The cast played a game, where the female artists would serve the blindfolded male artists. Michael got attacked from all sides, Niki sat on his lap and fed him grapes, but Michael ended up touching her thighs and frightened her so much fell off.

Niki claimed its been a long while since she sat on a man's lap. She laughed: "I wanted to scream when he touched me, but we were playing a game and I couldn't make a sound, otherwise Michael would have known its me. Actually, screaming is a normal reaction. I can't remember how long ago was it since the last time I sat on a man's lap. But, boyfriends aren't just used to sit on. I currently have pursuers too, but it's just they aren't right for me. Although I'm having a difficult time handling my love life, who knows, perhaps someone will come along later on! There just has been too many people asking me lately, I feel kind of stressed. (Your sister introduced any guys to you?) I think its because she heard the media talk about it too much, so she's starting to do some work now!"

Micheal complimented and then bashed Niki: "She got lighter! It was quite comfortable when she sat on me, she got slender legs and smooth skin! (She said she wanted to scream when you touched her!) Of course! How often does she get touched by men? But, I just touched her jeans! She said if the serial's TV ratings gets over 30 points, she'll kiss me, but I get to decide where she kisses. I still haven't thought of where yet!"

Yesterday Michael Tse, Niki Chow, Koni Lui, Queenie Chu, Grace Wong, Oceane Zhu, Becky Lee, Elaine Yiu, etc. attended the promotional event for TVB series Sergeant Tabloid. Niki appeared at the event in her policewoman uniform, but that just got Michael madly teasing her that she has no body figure. Michael compared Niki to Becky Lee, who had recently appeared in a bikini on a TVB travel show and showed off her outstanding figure.

At the promotion, the cast played games with references to the current contradictory issues between Hong Kong and China. Lee Yee Man played a HK pregnant woman in the series, she held up a sign and shouted: "Give me back my baby formula!" Ching Ho Wai was fighting for "freedom of the press" in support of her reporter son (played by Michael). Rosanne Lui shouted: "I have the Right to Know!"

Michael and Niki were bashing each other nonstop at the promotion. Michael teased Niki that she has no body figure, while Niki bashed him back saying he "has no material". Michael exposed he has a scene in the series where he goes undercover as a 'duck' (male prostitute) and gets 'date raped' by Becky Lee. When speaking of Becky wearing a bikini on a travel show and displayed her 34C body figure? Initially, Michael thought the female lead on the show was Niki, he smirked: "It doesn't matter whether I watch it or not!"

When Michael learned the lead was actually Becky, he sighed loudly and said he missed out on something good, but he didn't forget to tease Niki once more: "Of course Becky Lee is better than Niki Chow. You can just go randomly find a few more girls and they'll still be better than her! I really do have to go catch the show online then. If the show had Niki, I would just skim through it." When Oceane Zhu and Becky were introduced on stage, Michael just wouldn't let Niki go, he continued to tease her: "Just look at how gentle the other two are, they have [long] legs and everything is just bigger than yours." Niki refuted: "You're a scum both in the series and in real life!"

In the series, Niki plays a 'sing lui' (middle-aged single women) and in reality she's still single, but she was still very into character as she claimed she's the 'Sing Lui' team leader. Niki expressed: "My role is very similar to me in real life. Both of our careers goes smoothly, but not our love lives. It's inevitable that others will start worrying about us when we're over 30, but not marrying is better than marrying the wrong person!"

Last night, Becky appeared in a bikini with Leanne Li on a travel special and stole the limelight. The show got a lot of positive response and Netizens praised her nice figure. Becky said: "I wish them (Netizens) good health. This is my first sexy appearance since my debut. The most important is healthy awareness."

Sergeant Tabloid had already been released overseas last year and the online version circulated all over the internet. However, producer Nelson Cheung expressed the HK version went through re-editing and there's a new ending. He is not worried about the ratings being affected. Also, Benz Hui disclosed his 'on-screen wife' Angelina Lo (she played Niki's mother) went over to HKTV, therefore she did not attend the promotion.

On day of the interview, Michael Tse started at 7am, after shooting 10 hours straight of TVB new series Sniper Attack 2013, he rushes over to Tsim Sha Tsui for the photo shoot and interview. Earlier he was busy promoting for Friendly Fire and then had to shoot Lunar New Year comedy film I Love Hong Kong 2013 and now he's actively promoting for its premiere. He's been working nonstop, no wonder at one point, no matter if its in the television set or on the big screen, you can see Michael Tse.

Since E.U (Literal: "Cadets Attack"), to Lives of Omission (Literal: "Sneak Attack"), to Friendly Fire (Literal: "Justice Attack") and now Sniper Attack 2013, Michael laughed he's basically just shooting an "attack" series every year. His roles goes from an undercover to a police officer, then to a lawyer, he's been "attacking" several times, but this time around he finally plays a true sniper! For a realistic effect, Michael especially asked his friend, who knows about Special Duties Unit (SDU) snipers to give him some advice and he'll imitate the appearance. "In reality, it is definitely not easy to be a sniper. Their work is rather static, I have to appear dynamic while being static. It's just all depends on my eye expressions, which is quite challenging."

When speaking of the "attack" series, we will definitely think of Michael's classic role Laughing Gor. Laughing Gor has indeed brought Michael Tse's career to its peak, but because the role had been too successful and left a deep impression on audience, it unknowingly became his burden. No matter what role Michael plays, people will still say he has the Laughing Gor shadow in him.

"I know some people think 'JJ' in Friendly Fire is just like Laughing. As an artist, I'm already used to hearing different opinions from the audience. To me, every role is actually unique. The Laughing Gor role has really got into many people's brains, I just hope the audience won't judge just by watching a few scenes. They should patiently watch the show and naturally, they will be able to see the differences." When Michael first debuted, he had an 'unhealthy' image and often got roles as a gangster, a scum or some crazy man. It wasn't until his semi-evil undercover Laughing Gor role that got him the breakthrough. After he got himself a stable seat as the TVB Siu Sang, he started getting more righteous and positive roles. In fact, whether if the role is good or evil, Michael frankly expressed any of those roles can get popular.

In his latest film I Love Hong Kong 2013, he plays the crafty young version of Nat Chan, and will throw laugh bombs along with his co-stars Bosco Wong, Kate Tsui and Joyce Cheng. In the film, Michael disguised himself in a 60s long haircut, a complete retro look, will you still think he's Laughing Gor?

Started out as a Dancer, Michael is the "King of Dance" titleholder from Strictly Come Dancing, so of course he's energetic. However, on the television screen he's often seen holding a gun, but in his personal life, its surprising to hear that he's actually holding a spatula most of the time!

"From the start, I was forced to cook my own meals, but my personality is when I decide to do something, I will have to enjoy the process. Slowly, I fell in love with cooking. Usually when I have free time in between filming, I would exchange cooking experiences with my female co-star. My favorite dish is 'Big Crabs Cooked in Yellow Wine', which is a dish master chef Fala Chen taught me! Sometimes I get off work late, but I would still insist on cooking up a few dishes. (How can you cook when you're tired?) Actually I don't cooking will tire me out, actually the process is very relaxing. After I finish cooking, I feel accomplished. We all eat happily too!"

Michael Tse and this year's Miss HK winners Carat Cheung, Jacqueline Wong and Tracy Chu were rehearsing for the TVB Sales Presentation 2013 held on November 8th. Michael expressed he will be riding on a motorcycle to make his appearance and then do a fighting performance to introduce his upcoming series Sniper Attack 2013 co-starring Eddie Cheung, Kathy Chow and Kate Tsui. This month he'll also be participating in the Lunar New Year film with Alan Tam, Nat Chan, Bosco Wong and Kate. Michael expressed he had been following Kate's breakthrough performance in Highs and Lows. As there was some criticisms that the series had so many mistakes, but the cast and crew didn't notice it at all, Michael said TVB will need to reflect on that and make improvements. The three Miss HK winners will be joining Wayne Lai at the Sales Presentation for a stage play performance. Although they feel pressured, Wayne is still a good person to learn from.

TVB executive Norman Leung hosted a banquet for the cast and crew of Tiger Cubs to celebrate the high ratings and success. The cast including Jessica Hsuan, Kenneth Ma, Him Law, Mandy Wong, Oscar Leung, Christine Kuo and Vincent Wong attended.


Recently a tabloid magazine (East Week) reported that Christine Kuo and Michael Tse were 'car shaking' (sex in the car). The magazine even published the photos. Yesterday when reporters approached Christine for interviews, tears immediately formed in her eyes. She expressed the 'car shaking' was just a scene from new series Justice Pursuit & Attack. She stressed the 'car shaking' was necessary for the series because the scene was about her seducing Michael in the car. There were a lot of other staff at the location. She said in tears: "My mom called me from Canada this morning, actually I didn't know what 'car shaking' means, until my mom told me. I just feel so wronged! (Unhappy?) People have limits, I don't want to make my family unhappy! I'm starting to lose my parents' trust, the negative news and rumors are just coming one after another, it's normal that I'm worried. Also, my parents aren't familiar with the nature of my job. I hope to bring them over to HK and live with me as soon as possible, so they can understand more about what I do at work."

Since Christine's debut, she has got herself a long list of rumored boyfriends including Kevin Cheng, Oscar Leung, Edwin Siu, Raymond Cho and more. When asked if she's afraid to get near her male colleagues after this? She expressed: "A little! Sometimes it's just necessary for work and I can't control it! (Give up being an actress?) I don't give up that easily! Also, even if I wanted to give up, that won't solve anything. I should face the problems with courage."

When Oscar Leung saw Christine crying, he handed her a tissue and attentively comforted her: "Don't cry! If anything, I'm here!" However, Christine kept her distance from him: "Get away! If you come near me, I'll be in trouble!"

Michael Tse: I want to cry too!

Also, yesterday Michael accepted an interview over the phone and when speaking of Christine crying over the 'car shaking' incident, Michael joked, "I want to cry too". He felt sorry for Christine: "She's a girl, usually girls are thin-skinned. Aside from crying, what else could she do? She's just trying to vent it all out! (Are you upset?) I'm already numb to all this! Actually the producer already said we were filming, and it could still be written like this! I've been in this industry for a long time, I can understand why she (Christine) feeling emotional. It's really hard to get accused like that!"

Jessica: 'Tiger Cubs' is male dominant series

Jessica was asked if there will be a sequel to Tiger Cubs? She expressed: "Not sure yet! Still discussing! (Start shooting next year?) I really don't know! But, it should be done while it's still hot! I heard TVB already scheduled the series for the first half year, and temporarily there isn't any news on the sequel." Jessica added the public response was better than expected, and she's already satisfied that her 'farewell series' did well.

Since Tiger Cubs was such a big hit, based on TVB's convention, there may be a film version of the series. When asked if there really is a film version, will Jessica participate in it? She smiled: "Even so, it may not be with the original cast! Also, the entire series is focused on the male role, the female roles are not important!" Jessica reiterated that artists are actually very passive in terms of what roles they get, anything work related, we will all have to wait for TVB to make the arrangements and decisions.

Last night while Typhoon Vicente was in HK, Michael Tse was at TVB City recording for game show All Star World Exam. TVB especially made arrangements to pick up and drop off artists from and to their homes. Studio audience admissions was also canceled. Michael smiled: "I didn't drive because I can't predict what's going to come flying at me on the road."

It was reported Michael got appointed by TVB executive Virgina Lok to be this year's TV King and he excitedly bought a luxury home in Happy Valley to celebrate. Michael said: "Crazy! What month is it now? The anniversary isn't even here yet. I didn't buy a new home nor have I looked at any homes." It was said HK artists make a lot of money by just shooting one Mainland drama? Michael said: "I will have to ask the Mainland TV Kings. Ask them if they bought a home yet." He had plans to buy a home for many years, but unfortunately the most expensive homes in the world is in HK. It can be as expensive as several HK$10,000 per square foot. His goal is not the Mid-Levels luxury homes, the most important is for the home to be suitable for his status and his capability.

A magazine reported that when shooting new series Justice Pursuit & Attack, the cast boycotted former ATV artist Alice Chan and at the end-of-filming celebration dinner, they teamed up and forced her to drink. Michael said: "Of course we didn't do that, that night we all had a good time. The atmosphere was very harmonious, no one gossiped. We were all happy to have accomplished something together. If you give me a toast, I will give you a toast back. That magazine is speaking nonsense, and 10 reasons could be made just by 1 photo."

Michael Tse celebrated his 45th birthday last night. His wife Tina threw a party for him, inviting many of his good friends from showbiz. Attendees included: Raymond Lam and his cousin Lin Xiawei, Alex Fong, Niki Chow, Timmy Hung and his wife Janet Chow, Vincy Chan, Michael Miu and his wife Jamie Chik, Bobby Au-Yeung and his wife, and his dance instructor Sunny. Before the party, Michael expressed he won't be getting drunk, but unfortunately after 3 hours, he was already completely drunk.

During the party, Michael came out to the entrance for an interview. He excitedly said: "My birthday wish is good health and get more and more jobs. I just finished shooting my new series, so I have time to celebrate. My wife gave me an underwater camera, so I could go scuba diving with her next month." Asked if he'll be getting drunk? He immediately said: "I already booked a car and a driver, prepared to carry my friends out the door. As for myself, I won't be getting drunk."

Recently it was rumored that Janet Chow is pregnant, asked if she do any drinking? Michael exposed: "I only saw her drinking water and eating large portions for two people. Isn't it because its during sensitive period, so she can't say?!" Later, Janet and her husband Timmy accepted an interview, Michael said he already booked a car and driver in preparation to take friends home? Timmy laughed: "He won't be getting drunk? At our wedding, who had to have people carry him out?" When reporters mentioned, Michael exposing that Janet didn't touch any alcohol? She expressed its because she has to drive, so she can't drink.

Because the birthday boy got really high, Michael was drinking and drinking with his friends. After three hours, he was already completely drunk and was even the first person to get drunk at 11pm. His friend Sunny and Wilson Chin had to help him out to his car. Michael was drunk and still Choking. He kept putting his finger up and smiling in front of the camera. Then his wife patted his shoulder, and with his eyes half-closed, Michael frowned and got into the car to go home. Not long after Michael left, Virgina Lok arrived and was helpless when she found out Michael had already left.

Tavia Yeung and Michael Tse were shooting a marriage proposal scene for TVB new series Justice Pursuit & Attack on the busy street in Causeway Bay. Nearly 500 bystanders and tourists watching the scene, pushed through into the restricted area and obstructed the shoot. On camera, there were suddenly a few hundred extra temporary actors that appeared, this time TVB really profited! Tavia Yeung can't help being too charming, one four eyed man successfully got close to her and kept taking pictures, which frightened Tavia a bit and didn't know what to do. In the end, a staff had to come in and protect her. Because of the crowded street, at one point, the police came by to check on them.

In one scene, Tavia and Sharon were taking a stroll on the streets and were surrounded by a large group of pedestrians. During the time, a four eyed man dressed in a white suit came close and stared at Tavia and took close up shots of her. Tavia was a little frightened, but remained calm. The staff besides her immediately went forward to protect her. Tavia later expressed: "That man wasn't a temporary actor. Actually that's how it is when shooting on a busy street, I wasn't frightened. I was just afraid it would hinder us from shooting the scene. We have to use time wisely to complete the scene." Tavia stressed she didn't have any body contact with the man because she was protected by the staff around her. Asked if the four eyed man's eye expressions made her feel uncomfortable? She said she didn't care and didn't look at him.

Later, the scene where Michael proposes to her was a big deal. He first told Otto Chan to lay out the red carpet, and then dressed in a white suit, Michael sang Tavia a love song on the red carpet to confess his love for her. Good friend Sammy Leung was by his side capturing the whole thing on video, while Sharon Chan and Benz Hui were on the side cheering for them. Tavia appeared very surprised. Later, the two had a dance in front of the 500 onlookers, but didn't have any kiss scene.

When asked why she didn't have a kiss scene with Michael? Tavia said: "That's how the scene was arranged, I rejected him and then left. This is one of the big scenes in the middle of the series, it's pretty shocking, but not too difficult." When asked if she had ever thought of how it would be like when rumored boyfriend Him Law proposes? Tavia laughed: "Most important is to find a suitable partner, doesn't have to be anything big. We already have too much attention, artists shouldn't have too much attention, just let nature take its course and everything goes normally, I'll be happy enough."

Michael gets rejected, the Crowd goes silent

When Michael did the proposal scene, his face and ears turned red. Everyone cheered when he made his proposal to Tavia. Michael laughed and said, he was so nervous he started sweating and his heart beating loudly: "That moment felt special, the live audience really made a nice atmosphere. Just now when Tavia rejected me and left, the entire crowd at Causeway Bay went silent! That was a very real reaction, priceless! It made me think of back when I proposed to my wife, the young man feelings all came back! Its quite cute. (Did you know Tavia was frightened by a man staring at her?) I had people approach me too, only thing is to try best to protect her during idle time."

Yesterday a magazine (Oriental Sunday) reported Michael Tse hooked up with 2009 Miss HK 'Miss Photogenic' Candy Yuen. Last year, Michael collaborated with Candy in Lives of Omission, where he successfully won her heart. A few days ago, they were having a meal together at the TVB canteen, and were flirting in public as if no one was around. At one point, Michael event touched Candy's chest, which was a shocker.

Yesterday Michael expressed over the phone: "No such thing. I won't be upset at the Magazine because it's not my first day in this industry. What's more important is if readers believe it. You have to understand that is the canteen at TVB, there are colleagues sitting nearby. Why would I do what the magazine said I did? In fact, that magazine should put more effort into writing their stories and shouldn't be too careless. If the location was a hotel, then the creditability would be much higher. Actually, it was not just the two of us either, there was another person with us."

Michael expressed he met Candy while shooting for Lives of Omission (TN: She played the role 'Ding Man', the triad leader's mistress). They soon realized they had common friends and naturally had more topics to talk about. When asked if this was upsetting to his wife, Tina? Michael laughed: "How so? She saw the report and laughed. She understands the tactics used by the magazines. We have seen a lot of the photos are taken from behind. I don't need to explain too much. I hope this magazine can have more sincerity next time, don't think readers are stupid."

As for Candy, she did not understand why there was such report and she does feel a tad unhappy. "That day, it's been long while since I've seen Michael, so I showed him the pictures I took when I went Korea for shooting of a travel special. We also weren't playing crazily at the canteen, so he didn't bump into my chest. Those [photos] were just a matter of camera angles. Michael was sitting across from me, and I was just taking my camera over to show him. If the report has cause any unhappiness for his wife, I have to say sorry to her."

Candy expressed she's often telling Michael on Weibo that she has no special intention, "He is just an artist that I like since childhood. Perhaps our personalities are similar and we are playful people, so we became good friends. The magazine interviewed me, and said I said Michael touched my entire body. I was just talking about our scenes in Lives of Omission." She expressed she will not maintain her distance in the future, but may find someone to be in between to avoid any misunderstandings. "I went to Australia at age 13, and came back to HK at age 19. My personality is a little westernized, sometimes I would unconsciously lean on people."

Michael Tse, Tavia Yeung and Louis Yuen were shooting for TVB new series Justice Pursuit and Attack at a shopping mall. The scene was about Michael seeing his girlfriend Tavia sweetly walking and linking arms with Louis. The angered Michael charged up to them, but tripped and during the confusion, he pushes Louis down. This left Tavia feeling displeased by his behavior. The scene was pretty funny.

During filming, Tavia and Louis appeared very close and intimate, and even off-cameras they are often holding hands. Tavia laughed: "Louis and I are just 'good sisters' in the series, Michael was definitely jealous for nothing." When asked if Tavia has the same type of 'good sister' male friends in real life? She unexpectedly dragged Ron Ng into the water: "Ron Ng can be one! Before when I was shooting on the busy streets with him, we were walking down the streets holding hands just the same way." Reporters teased her, asking if she's afraid of his girlfriend Viann Zhang getting jealous? Tavia was instantly clever and drew a line: "I am talking about several years ago. (Don't dare to do the same now?) Nowadays if he holds my hand, I gotta think about it."

As for Michael, who plays a prosecutor, expressed he doesn't have a playboy personality in the series. When reporters teased he has kiss scenes from left to right with both Tavia and Grace Wong? Michael shouted: "I'm not sure why Grace Wong said that. I still don't know if I have any kiss scenes. (She said she gave her first on-screen kiss to you.) I gave my first time to her too. I gave my first on-screen kiss as a lawyer to her!"

Also, what's interesting is Louis Yuen's name in the series is 'Louis Koo'. Tavia said every time she calls him, the onlookers surrounding the scene would burst into laughter. Louis could only smooth things by saying: "In fact, I do look like Louis [Koo]!"
