In TVB new series No Good Either Way, it's considered Natalie Tong and Jason Chan first collaboration as a couple. In terms of entry into the industry, Natalie is Jason's "senior sister" (see jeh), but in terms of age, Jason is Natalie's "elder brother". However, Jason smiled and said Natalie often gave him advice when they were filming, she's very attentive and knows how to look after people. When asked if she's his cup of tea? Jason laughed: "Pretty ok! (Did you two take it a step further?) No! We are friends, sometimes we go out for dinner, it's better with more friends, more to talk about! I really admire her, she's very into her work and is attentive."

Natalie Feels Jason's nervousness

Jason is full of praises for Natalie, but this See Jeh teases him, exposing that he's extremely shy for the kiss scenes. Natalie laughed: "I felt he was nervous. There was one scene about us already dating for a long time, so we hold hands and give goodbye kisses. I told him to give me a kiss, but he just kissed me on the forehead. I said no no, when we actually film, you have to kiss me on the lips! He was really shy, in some scenes where he has to sweetly please me, he didn't dare to touch me. I had to ask him back, can you just touch me? Makes me sound like a creep!"

Jason's like her first boyfriend

But, Natalie said Jason started out quiet, but he later turned talkative. She had to shout for him to stop, just like those overly active children. When asked if she likes 'cute big men'? She said Jason is like her first boyfriend, she said: "Actually his looks and personality are very similar. Although it's our first collaboration, I can easily find his strengths to like him. He's very attentive too, and knows how to look after others to make up for his deficiencies. He has a lot of potential. When we were filming, women 25 and up were just staring at him."

TVB Deputy Executive Chairman Norman Leung hosted a celebration banquet for Gloves Comes Off's good ratings and announced the 5 new benefits for employees. The cast including Selena Li, Nancy Wu, Power Chan and his pregnant wife Mimi Lo attended.

Norman expressed 4 of the 5 benefits are effective from July 1st. (1) Add a regulation for weekly work schedules; (2) From 12am to 7am, the traffic expense claims increases from ~$50 to $64; (3) On business trips, the meal allowances increases for breakfast and midnight snacks from $10 to $15; lunch and dinner from $15 to $30; (4) The lucky envelopes for marriages and pregnancies increases from $500 to $800; (5) From June 18th and on, there will be two extra TVB work buses for the early morning hours. Norman expressed the benefits will be taken step by step and revisions will be seen little by little. The purpose is for the TVB 45th Anniversary celebrations, and in hope to give colleagues even more encouragement. When the employees learned of the new benefits, they were very happy for TVB’s sincerity. Norman expressed the work hour revisions will be the first step, and as the operations warm up, TVB may consider changing to a 5 day work week.

Pregnant Mimi Lo and her husband Power Chan were the first to show their appreciation for the new benefits. The new benefits and the HK$6,000 from the government, the couple were very happy because they’ll have more money to spare. Selena was also happy to hear the news, employees will feel more positive and be more active towards their work. In the past, when artists were working outside and wanted to eat more, the cast would have to pay out of pocket to cover the extra expenses.

Louis Yuen and his girlfriend (Crystal) of 12 years often get rushed by others to get married. Yesterday when Louis was on Eileen Cha's radio interview, he was asked when is his marriage happening? He joked: "Tomorrow! Let's see if there's a time slot tomorrow." He said his mother hasn't rushed him because his elder sister is already married and has kids, so she has grandchildren to play with.

As for his girlfriend, he said he won’t be able to ‘fly out of his girlfriend’s fingers’, they also have consensus that they won't be having children. The most important is to live happily. Louis does, however, admit that when facing his seniors, like Eric Tsang, who rushes him to marry, he does feel some pressure. Thinking of how he’ll handle marriage, perhaps he’ll just have dinner with friends.

In TVB new series No Good Either Way, he pairs up with his good friend Wong Cho Lam's girlfriend Leanne Li. Louis joked, seeing how powerful Wong Cho Lam is at TVB, it’s better to just ask his good brothers to play as his girlfriend’s on-screen boyfriend is much safer.

Yesterday Joe Ma, Jessica Hsuan, Him Law, JJ Jia, William Chak, Vincent Wong, Benjamin Yuen, Jazz Lam, Kenneth Ma and the rest of the cast promoted for new series Tiger Cubs at TVB City. The male artists all changed into the SDU uniforms and appeared in armored cars, very impressive, especially for lead actor Joe Ma, who pulled 20 people on the armored car with a rope. The cast then played arm-wrestling games and Joe showed off his skills again, as he defeated Kenneth. JJ stole the limelight in a low-cut outfit. When JJ arm-wrestled Him Law, Joe covered his eyes with his hands.

Jessica said it's been a long time since she's been back at TVB, she smiled: "I'm happy, but they thought I wouldn't be able to come back." Unfortunately Jessica won't be in HK later, and won't be able to attend the next promotional event. As her love life isn't getting anywhere, Jessica has already decided she won't be having children because she is not confident she can raise them well.

Joe expressed there are a lot of action scenes in this series, and has lost 10 pounds. When speaking of the difficulty of shooting TVB series? He laughed: "Yeah! Shooting in Mainland is good, but I still had to endure through this stage to strengthen [myself]."

In regards to wealthy businessman Lau Sing Ding ruled guilty by the court and was sentenced 17 months in prison, Benjamin said: "I hope gets rid of that habit, and don't break the law again. I participated in his photo shoot at the auditions, and feel like I've been cheated." Joe also hopes Lau will change. Him expressed he won't visit Lau in prison nor does he have any comment on the ruling.

As for Deep Ng, an old classmate bad mouthed him, criticizing that he has a bad character. Jazz expressed he was Deep's classmate: "I am his only classmate that in this industry, but I didn't bad mouth him. We are good brothers and I believe he knows I don't have any news, so he's helping me do some promotion." He also strongly supported Deep, that he has turned good and hopes everyone can support his new album.

Since Ron Ng fell for Mainland actress Viann Zhang, his fans strongly disliked the couple, but Ron still continues his deep love for her. Earlier Viann wrote on Weibo, once again implying that she broke up with Ron, but it turns out the news was fake.

Last night, Ron was shooting for TVB new series Seasons of Love with Iva Law and Lee Yee Man in Lan Kwai Fong. In the series, Iva, Lee and Kate Tsui all fall for Ron, but in real life, Ron only has his eyes for Viann Zhang. However, to keep his Siu Sang image, Ron refused to make their relationship public, leaving Viann without any sense of security. Earlier this month, Viann whined on Weibo: "Falling for a bad man will get you a painful life, you'll be worried and feel wronged." Weibo readers thought this meant they have broken up.

As for the break up rumors, Ron clarified: "We are fine." As to the reason for not making the relationship public, doesn't that leave Viann without sense of security? Ron denied: "I'm very open, optimistic and my level of openness is high." Ron also exposed Viann's message was just her feelings after she finished shooting a drama and for promotion of the new drama. When asked if Ron's keeping his relationship with Viann? He said: "Yeah, maintaining the relationship. Thanks for the concern." Ron expressed after completing Seasons of Love, he'll be starting Triumph in the Skies II. He said: "I'm not sure if I'm still Francis Ng's brother, but I know we'll be going to England and France for outdoor shooting."

It was rumored that former TVB actress Jacqueline Law has cancer. Yesterday it was further rumored that she passed away in Singapore. The rumor said she secretly went to Singapore to treat her cancer, but her condition suddenly worsen. Reporters tried to contact Jacqueline, through WhatsApp, but no response was given.

The media asked her good friends to confirm. Louie Castro responded in English: "Jacqueline is fine! Thank you for your concern." Peter Cheung expressed over the phone he also heard about the news of Jacqueline's death, but he saw her two months ago and she was doing well. They have been keeping in touch all along. When asked when he'll visit Jacqueline again? He said: "We are both busy with our own lives, but we care a lot about one another. (Is she in Singapore now?) From last time, she said she's not in Hong Kong. (When?) I forget."

Also, Annie Liu said Jacqueline is totally fine. Annie hasn't heard any news about Jacqueline. If there were issues, she would definitely know about it. As for if Jacqueline is in Singapore? Annie said she's not sure because it has been some time since they kept in touch.

According to sources, 45 year old Jacqueline was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few years ago. She worked hard and optimistically battled the cancer. In April of this year, she attended her stepson's wedding and at the time, she only thanked the media for the concern as a response to her health conditions.

Aimee Chan, Selena Li, Ruco Chan, Raymond Wong and Cilla Kung were shooting for TVB new series Love Exceeds the Coastline in Tuen Mun yesterday. The scene was about a beach volleyball competition. In a beach outfit, aside from showing off her fine waist and long legs, Aimee also shows off her great volleyball skills since she used to be on the volleyball team. The other cast were pretty bad compared to her. Aimee's fast reactions and moves were too fast for her opponent Cilla to dodge and only got the ball in her face. She screamed instantly at the scene. Later, Cilla laughed: "I'm fine, my nose hasn't fallen off yet."

Among all, Cilla was the worst at volleyball. Even the director said she served the ball 200 times and still couldn't make it over the net. Selena was on the right track, but Raymond Wong had to add: "The crew specially added a trampoline for Cilla to accompany her super jump move while playing volleyball." Cilla turned into a laughingstock, but she didn't mind at all. Instead, she asked reporters to come closer to take pictures of her specially designed trampoline. Selena and Aimee expressed they were part of the school's volleyball team back in Toronto and were very happy to be able to play together in this series.
