TVB Entertainment News

TVB artists Selena Li and Leanne Li did a catwalk for a wedding dress show. Selena expressed her injustice, she said: "The reports are always saying I have a boyfriend, that really affects me. now no guy dares to come near me. I want to stress here that I am a 100% single, I don't have a boyfriend. My requirements for a boyfriend is I hope he is filial, ambitious, loves me, good character, taller and smarter than me. I am accepting pursuers!"

Regarding to marriage, Leanne said: "Wong Cho Lam and I have consensus. Career is our priority now. (You already the parents?) Still have maybe 2 or 3 years before we will start thinking about marriage. Dating is sweeter, I really enjoy this period."

Patrick Tang was hand-picked and appreciated by TVB former general manager Stephen Chan. However, this has also become the target of public criticism. Under the press' pen, most of the reports were negative. In fact, he didn't completely rely on Stephen and has put in a lot of effort in himself. Looking at his performance in the musical Waiting For the Match (獨坐婚姻介紹所), talent can be seen in Patrick. On stage, he had an effortless performance and many people on Weibo praised him. Just a few words by others, it could have not been expected that he saved them all up and even took his collection out to show us. He said, if one day, he has doubts on his own abilities, then he will take them out to look at. This is a form of encouragement. He has always told himself, no matter what happens, must continuously be thankful and never complain.

Gradually Advance, No Matter What

Regarding to the negative news, Patrick feels extremely helpless and as an artist, he very much has the 'Ah Q' spirit: "Mr. Chan is indeed my 'Pak Lok' (someone who sees talent in a person). He has taught me a lot, but I really cannot control how other people write about me."

In 1996, Patrick particiated in the New Talent Singing Contest and ended in sixth place at the finals. That year, Denise Ho was the winner and he was in last place. However, he was still able to sign a TVB artist contract and got appreciation by producer Siu Wai Hung. He first started with children shows, then travel shows and then in a popular sitcom War of Genders. TVB then changed his regular artist contract to a management contract. Coincidentally as luck has it, Paco Wong helped him release a music album, he then started singing and had a few representive works. He also got himself a girlfriend then. In the film Truth or Dare (六樓后座), his performance was praised by Sandra Ng. At the time, everything went smoothly for him.

Those years, Patrick did not dare to go wrong, and planned his every step. "I am a person who is hard to get along with, but people still attack me after all, making my image turn bad. Of course I was unhappy, I felt so autistic, but I could only tell myself to do better."

In TVB gameshow Foodie 2 Shoes,, Patrick was heavily criticized. Netizens were scolding him and attacking him. In 2008, Hins Cheung asked him to be the guest performer at his HK Coliseum concert: "At the time, I had criticial emotions and lacked self-confidence. I was afraid people would boo me. There was a moment where I really didn't dare to go on stage. I reluctantly walked on stage and results, I wasn't faced with the sounds of boo's, but instead applause from the entire venue. I was extremely thankful." Then no matter what opportunities TVB gave him, even if it's just a few episodes in a series, he would try his best to develop the roles as much as possible. "I never die, I never cry".

The Communication With Her

Patrick's career hasn't had a breakthrough yet, but in his love life, he has exceptionally good luck. The girlfriends come and go, and finally he found himself a girlfriend he really loves. However, he disagreed with what the reporter said: "If there really is good luck in love, then I didn't have to date so many times! Each time I'm with a new girlfriend, the relationship has to start from the beginning and will have to accept new challenges all over again." He dated 'atomic bomb' for 4 years, he was with Selena for 4 years and due to understanding issues, they broke up. "No matter what reason it is, I still did not feel good and unhappy. Breakups causes damage."

He and Katy Kung has been dating for nearly 2 years. 38 year old Patrick hopes to see a future in this relationship. In his heart, he already sees Katy as his girl. "She's a very filial and obedient girl. She's 16 years younger than me, sometimes she may have childish behavior, so I often try to do my best, so she can believe what I say is the truth and I could set a good example for her."

A 22 year old girl often likes to play and party with friends. "We have something in common, that is we both like to be at home." On the surface, Katy may seem easy-going and just listens to her boyfriend, but in some areas, she can be quite mature and can give Patrick good advice. Patrick has a lot of life experiences, "have to be able to get along with a matured 22 year old girl."

The Greatest Encouragement From Her

The area that people praise Katy most about is that she does not look for a wealthy boyfriend. Instead, she looks at the man's ability and his sense of responsibility. Patrick strived for so many years and finally he's able to buy a comfortable home. Each month he has to pay mortgage, support his family and looking around the house, everything he owns is a return for all his hard work. He doesn't rely on his parents, and Katy sees this in him and often says to Patrick: "I just feel your so smart! Baby." Just those simple words is already the greatest encouragement a woman can give a man. This also expresses her most mature side. She knows her blessings and won't ask for more. She won't compare Patrick with other men.

"I definitely will not disappoint her. I hope our relationship won't change. Whatever our future is like, no one can say, but having her support, I am very happy. In fact, a relationship is like rowing a boat. When your tired, its my turn to row and when I'm tired, your turn to row. We're both rowing towards the same place, even if we encounter a heavy storm and the boat flips, we will get back up and keep on going. As our boat doesn't have a motor, we have to row it with our own hands, that proves she is willing to row the boat with me together."

All along it has been widely rumored that Aaron Kwok and Lynn Hung are going to be married in June. Although the two have not made the news public yet, according to reliable sources, the two have indeed set the date for marriage already. They have also asked their managers for two weeks vacation and secretly leave Hong Kong to get married in a foreign land. Aaron and Lynn are finally tying the knot, but their managers are extremely upset. Aaron's manager (Siu Mei) got into a fight with Aaron and Lynn's manager (Kim) try to persuade her 'daughter' to think twice. It turns out earlier this year, Aaron started controlling Lynn, damaging their 'mother-daughter' (Lynn and her manager) relationship.

For the marriage, it was said Aaron's good friends such as Chilam Cheung and Anita Yuen will be attending their wedding. The two are planning to announce the news after the marriage and although the news leaked, Aaron and Lynn are still refusing to admit it. When Lynn was at the film premiere Love is...Pyjamas, she admitted she has received a ring from Aaron. When asked when the wedding is? She said: "When I get married, I will definitely tell you all. It is currently not the time yet. Until the last moment, I won't know what will happen or what can change. What happens if I end up not marrying?"

When speaking of the marriage, it turns out this February, Lynn wanted to break off the engagement. Then on Valentine's Day, Lynn publicly expressed she received a 'diamond necklace', but Aaron denied he gave her such gift. Because their comments did not match, it was rumored Lynn was borrowing her boyfriend to make news. Later, she announced she is back to being single. At the time, it was said Aaron felt Lynn was very much using him for publicly and that she's forcing him into marriage. He finally decided to end their 6 year relationship. Soon after, it was said Lynn successfully patched the relationship up through SMS and talks on Weibo. Eventually, Aaron finally confirmed her 'Mrs. Kwok' status. However, it turns out there was such crisis that day, and the truth was different from the story that the public knows. It turns out, at one point Lynn was the one who wanted to break up.

According to an insider: "Actually Aaron and Lynn already planned late last year that they will be married in the Dragon year, so last year on Aaron's birthday, he admitted for the first time he celebrated with Lynn and a group of friends. However, this year on Valentine's Day, because of the 'diamond necklace' incident, Aaron's broken promise angered Lynn. From the so many years of hiding the relationship, Lynn eventually blew up."

The insider continues: "Lynn has a sweet side of her and can be very friendly, but she also has another side of her. She has her own principles, and can be very firm. She is qualified to control Aaron, otherwise after all these years, she shouldn't have said a word. Her friends asked her, Aaron cares so much about his image, and she's speaking so much, isn't she afraid? She would say: 'Don't ask him, I like to say whatever I want. Don't worry about him!' In reality, that is indeed how it is like. Aaron already sees her as the one for him and wants to marry her. How can he not spoil her?! So, that day when Lynn wanted to break up and announced she was single, that really scared him. Based on Aaron's personality, he can just sweet talk Lynn behind the doors! Basically there is no need for him to make anything public."

Aaron's manager not fond of Lynn

The two getting married, but their managers are extremely upset. The insider said: "Siu Mei (Aaron's manager) never liked Lynn. Since that day when she asked Lynn to be the female lead in Aaron's MV, the two met and started their romance. Siu Mei really regretted it and always had a biased on her. She believed Lynn and some China girls are the same, that she has another purpose, wanting to borrow Aaron to get up top. She believed Lynn was always mentioning Aaron and has affected his image. So, during the time when the two were dating, Siu Mei constantly tried to break them up and often borrowed the media to do so. She hoped Aaron could give up on this relationship and because of this Aaron got into a fight with her. Aaron no longer tells her about his love life.

As for Lynn, she once told a friend that she doesn't know Siu Mei, which shocked the friend. At the time she said: 'I don't know Siu Mei, but she doesn't like me. Why do I have to try to make peace with her? I don't plan to get to know her.'"

Aaron controlling, Lynn's manager doesn't want her to marry him

It was also said after Aaron decided to marry Lynn, he already started controlling her career. He wanted to Lynn to rise in everything and wanted her to be on the same level as the other Heavenly King's wife (Galie Lok).

Insider reveals: "Aaron wanted Lynn to only accept endorsements and public event apperanaces by big brands and companies. She was not allowed to accept small functions or jobs. This made it difficult for her manager (Kim) to help Lynn accept any jobs. All of Lynn's jobs had to pass through Aaron first. All the film scripts she gets, Aaron also has to look through. Kim had a difficult time doing her job and this also damaged her relationship with Lynn. For this reason, Kim didn't approve of Lynn marrying Aaron because Lynn has a heavy responsibilty to support her family. Aaron wanted her to marry and have kids. Kim asked Lynn before, has Aaron bought a home for her? Does did he gave her any money? Does her family have any financial difficulties? It was understood, Aaron has not given her anything, so Kim had always tried to persuade her to think twice and told her that women should count on themselves. Unfortunaely when a woman falls in love, it is not about the money."

Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang were crowned TV King and Queen and swept several other awards for their series Rosy Business and No Regrets. Due to the popularity, TVB intends to make a third installment Rosy Business 3. However, once Sheren completes Beauty at War, her contract with TVB will come to an end. Also, Ricky Wong has been actively trying to get her to move over to CTI by giving her a huge offer and a good script. Golden Producer Lee Tim Shing is planning to retire at the end of this year. For Rosy Business 3 to happen, TVB will have to get through these two obstacles first.

Whether if its Rosy Business, No Regrets, Chai Gau, '4th Mistress', Lau Sing or 'Miss Nine', it has all left deep impressions on audience. Although scriptwriter Cheung Wah Bui and producer Lee Tim Shing are no longer a golden team, in Tim Gor's new series Detective Columbo, he partners with Cheung's apprentice (Ip Kwong Yam). According to the behind-the-scenes crew, reveals that Ip is writing a more exquisite script than before and definitely does not lose to Cheung. Ip reveals on Weibo that there is already a general idea for Rosy Business 3 and he will do all he can to bring an all new featured series.

Wayne said: "I believe Tim Gor will still produce one series per year and can still physically handle that. If we do shoot Rosy 3, of course I hope Sheren can be part of it. The audience liked both part 1 and 2 because of our sparks and chemistry."

Sheren frankly said: "There isn't only one TV station that has approached me, but I still have a contract with TVB and still shooting Beauty at War, so I don't want to be in two different companies. I will first complete my work here and then consider. I've heard about Ricky Wong's offer, he is not weak. I'm not Wayne, I won't completely put it out of consideration. It's just now I am still with TVB and shooting a series with them, so I don't want to think too much and make it too complicated."

Tim Gor said: "Currently it is still very preliminary. I'm going to retire later this year, and by then I'll be 65 years old! (But TVB and the artists all want you to stay?) We will find out in June or July when I discuss with TVB. However, my health really can't handle it anymore. If I produce one series per year, that can work, and Rosy 3 will be one of them. Even if this series happens, it will probably be sometime next year because this time, we will have to go to Mainland for shooting. That requires a much longer period of time to prepare."

Known as a 'bad boy', Edison Chen accepted DJ Ocean Chan's nowTV interview and talks about his sex photo scandal and Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung's marriage crisis in detail. When speaking of Hong Kong, Edison loves and hates the city. HK is considered a place where he grew up and at the same time, the place is where he is most pressured.

Recalling the sex photo scandal, Edison said: "I've completely gotten over it. Perhaps saying this is too extreme, but in fact I have already prepared for death and it's not that I'm thinking of ways to go die faster, but its more like if this is my last day, I can say to myself: 'I've lived well before.'"

When speaking of Nicholas and Cecilia's damaged marriage, Ocean expressed her pity for Edison because no matter what, he's always going to be in between Nicholas and Cecilia. Edison said: "I don't really care, I only care if they care (in English). I believe these things, it is more or less created by the media. I don't believe I have the power to end their marriage, and make them separate. To me, marriage is a very serious matter. If there were a lot of issues before, then there will be many many reasons that leads to a divorce. I don't think you need to pity me."

It was said he and Cecilia's relationship never ended? Edison just lightly sighed: "Why don't I ask these group of people (the media) to write a script for us. I also hope to start shooting a film and recruit someone to write a story. Cecilia and Nic are both my friends, so if I have affected them, I do feel a little sorry." Ocean asked after the crisis, has Edison contacted Nic? He said: "I feel we are still friends. Before his debut in the industry, we already knew each other. During my teen years, the years that changed my life, he was there with me. It is impossible to forget those days. I still feel, if we are to meet again, it would be an extremely joyous feeling. I hope."

After many years, still haven't met, has Edison ever tried to pick up the phone and call Nic? Edison said: "In fact it is very simple, someone asked me why I don't contact this person. Honestly speaking, I may not necessarily have his phone number. I also don't how to be going around asking others for his phone number. Then that will start gossips. I just believe talking over the phone may not be the best way. After all, I believe there will be one day we will meet again. I hope that day, we can keep in touch again. (Will you greet him in a very natural way?) I will, definitely will." Edison feels his relationship with Nic is like a brotherly feeling.

Since the broadcast of Gloves Come Off, the series has won public praises and this is the week of the finale. In the series, aside from all the boxing scenes, Kevin Cheng and his son "Lo Kut" father-son relationship has earned hot tears. Lo Kut's real name is Henry Leung (Chi Ho), a 10 years old who performs exceptionally well in school. He's one clever little boy, when memorizing his lines, he just looks at it once and his photograhic memory takes action. During filming, little Henry often bravely challenges Kevin in seeing who can memorize their lines and have the least NGs.

Lo Kut treats the set as if it was a playground and often gets sweaty from all the playing. He said: "My parents have to go to work, and rarely takes me out to the playground. It's been at least two years since I've been to one." Having such a good time playing, but once a family member says stop, Lo Kut behaves and goes straight back to his family and does not make a fuss at all.

Kevin has once described his on-screen son Lo Kut as '寸寸哋' ('chyun' - a little cocky). He said: "If I had a good life, I would want a son with his personality. There will only be sparks with Lo Kut's personality and the outcome was great." Lo Kut is not considered cute, but he has a smart and clever look. Lo Kut will turn 10 in October, and is currently in the fourth grade. He's an excelled student, ranking fourth place in his class. He scores the highest in his class in general knowledge, mathematics and English grammer. He is also the SGA vice president and a leader at the library. In all, he's a leader in school.

When asked if Lo Kut likes acting? He answered: "It's fun." Then he suddenly exposed: "Only in the series I can have a Boxing King father!" What if he has to take a test in school, how does he study and film? Lo Kut gave an earnest answer: "I do all my homework at school and at home, study first. Then I can focus on my acting and shooting the series."

Competes with Kevin on who NGs the least

In Gloves Come Off, Lo Kut is an 8 year old boy, but he had always liked to play with his big brothers and sisters, so he has a great relationship with Kevin: "The first time I met 'Lo Dai' (or Big Brother) Kevin, he asked me: 'However you usually call your dad, just call me the same way!' I've actually started off calling him 'Lo Dau', but then somehow it turned to 'Lo Dai'. I still call him that now. He also told me to watch Chow Yun Fat's All About Ah-Long."

In the series, Lo Kut and Kevin's parent-son activity is to compete on memorizing lines. Lo Kut said: "We race to see who can memorize our lines the fastest, then we practice together and see who would get it wrong." Lo Kut's elder sister accompanied him on this interview, she said: "Sometimes when its time to start shooting, my brother is still playing, but then Kevin would ask: 'Your playing here? Have you memorized all your lines yet? The upcoming scene is very important!' Then my brother would answer him: 'Let's see who's going to NG first then?!' My brother is really good at memorizing lines, he practices with me once at home, and won't need to look at it again once he's on the set. Even if the lines change at the last minute, he won't get it wrong, so whenever my brother and Kevin compete on who NGs the least, he rarely loses."

Lo Kut's real father was at the side pointing a finger at his son, he laughed: "I don't know how, but he can even remember the long lines. Tell him to cry and he cries immediately. Before I didn't know he can act. He even exchanged phone numbers with Kevin, but we don't even have Kevin's number." Lo Kut expressed he and Kevin have been keeping in touch: "He would ask me how I'm doing on my homework and tells me to eat more! I call Lo Dai and set a meeting in June for Father's Day, but he's not going to be in HK. I told him I'll wait until he gets back to HK first!"

Three years ago, Lo Kut's mother had a friend recommend him to shoot a commercial, and since then a director spotted him. He has been in music videos, films, educational programs and on RTHK.

Yesterday Kenneth Ma a carnival event in Malaysia and demonstrated 'Teh Tarik' (Pulled Tea) live on the spot. When speaking of the recent male artist photo scandal, Kenneth said: "I've saw the reports too, and I just thought it was funny. But I didn't see my name on the list and felt a bit unhappy. I can say my body figure isn't that bad. Don't necessarily have to be a built and bulky guy, but still no one invited me to take revealing photos."

As for the 23 year old female artist sexual assault case, Kenneth does not understand why girls have to go to those places to drink. Even if it is a very close friend, still have to be careful. It is safer to drink in the comfort of your own home.
