TVB News World - Asian Entertainment News Daily

TVB’s dispute with HKRIA over the royalties issue has jeopardized the relationship between the TV station and the 4 record companies. Jacky Cheung (as a Universal artist) has indicated that the dispute has not affected him too much overall, however upon mention of his new album being released at the end of the month, he couldn’t help but say “it upsets me!” [referring to release of new album possibly being affected]

The royalties issue has caused TVB to ban all of Universal’s artists – even Jacky, HK’s God of Song, is no exception. So far, the only artist not banned by TVB is Harlem Yu. Several nights ago, when Harlem was rehearsing for his upcoming concert with musical guest and best friend Jacky at HK Coliseum, TVB did send their reporters to the site to report the event, however they only interviewed Harlem.

To avoid awkwardness, TVB’s reporters arrived at the site and reported on the rehearsal along with the reports from other stations, however they left the site right after reporting. Then, after Jacky left, TVB’s reporters returned to the rehearsal site to interview Harlem.

With regard to artists from the 4 big record companies all being affected by the royalties dispute, Jacky indicated that he didn’t have much of a problem – one, because he is no longer an “active” singer in the industry and two, he has not attended HK’s music awards ceremonies in years. However, when he was reminded that his new album will be coming out at the end of the month, Jacky said: “I’m not a very active singer in the industry anymore, though I will be releasing an album soon…it upsets me a little. The album comes out at the end of January, which is definitely a “sensitive” time. [referring to the dispute not resolved yet]. But this is a big deal for the company and we are all in this together – I can’t disassociate myself from it.” Jacky also said that even if he can’t promote his album at the TV stations (TVB), he can promote it at the various radio stations – since he is a “free” artist (not contracted), it doesn’t really matter where he goes (to promote his album). Asked if he will promote his album at ATV or i-Cable (TVB’s 2 main competitors), Jacky said he will leave that up to the record company (Universal).

When asked about what he thinks about TVB taking legal action and wanting to settle the royalties issue with HKRIA in court, Jacky said: “Should be able to settle it…depends on whether it’s reasonable or not, if it’s not reasonable, what’s the point?” How about Hins Cheung saying that this (the royalties issue) is a movement for the rights of musicians and artists everywhere? Jacky’s response: “I believe so. Usually, very few people are willing to speak up, so since someone was brave enough to speak up, we should support it. I feel that TV stations (referring to TVB) shouldn’t stand so firm on the issue – even though they are a large, publicly traded company, I’m sure the shareholders would understand that they are just trying to do what they need to do.” After this comment, Jacky quickly added: “I don’t know….if I were in charge, this issue would be so easy to resolve!”

Modern ladies do not like to be weak. Myolie Wu who is straight forward and clear cut in character, is repellent against little girl character. As she mature, she wishes even more to portrayed herself as a woman with strong character. As the real her is clear cut when dealing in people relationship matter, hate being wishy-washy. But face with her beloved cats, she will transform into a gentle owner, taking care of all aspects, the man who love her should clearly be filled with jealousy!

I am an able and mature woman --> Not wishy-washy when dealing with relationships

This is the 10th year in the industry, more than half the time she is spotting a cool short hair style. Myolie Wu said she is able to stand out with short hair.

Wars-of-in-laws pushes her career to another level, she view it as her current masterpiece because everyone loves to watch it. “Not only Hong Kong people like it, it can be said that most of the Chinese around the world have watched Wars-of-in-laws before, I have also received good feedbacks. It was really fortunate to be able to act in this drama; of course, the happiest part is to be able to work happily with the rest of the casts. It can be said that I was feeling the least amount of stress when filming this drama."

Having acted in over 20 dramas, there are weak, strong headed etc different kinds of characters. She actually has a strong resistance against weak character. She said this is not her. “I do not like to act as “a little girl”, especially if playing as a weak girl, I don’t like because that is not me, I will feel very uncomfortable. Maybe it is because I have already grown up. Now I will prefer to act as a mature character.”

Labeling herself as a strong woman, the character that is most similar to her will be the lawyer career woman that she played in “Survivor Law”. “If it is a stronger character, actually there are some similarities towards me. I don’t like to be wishy-washy, regardless of relationship or anything. I prefer to be clean-cut, will not drag on.

I have the ability --> Hold solo concert

Recently, TVB younger generation of artistes are being “promoted” to singer one by one, of course Myolie Wu will not be left behind. She is able to do well in singing and acting. Last November, she released her second album.

She is full of confident and bubbly when talking about singing. “I like acting but I also like singing. Being given the chance to release a solo album, of course I will cherish the opportunity. Hopefully those people supporting my dramas will support my singing career in the same way too.”

During her secondary school years, she learned singing skills for two years with a teacher. She didn’t expect to be able to put the skills to use after so many years. Now, most of the time what she sang are pop songs. She hopes to become a singer with abilities, attempting a lot of different style of music. “Actually I want to try singing fast songs. While performing, I can dance too. This should be quite a good attempt. Furthermore, last December I held my mini concert at Hong Kong International Trade & Exhibition Centre, fulfilling a dream I had for years!” The year before last, Myolie Wu was awarded the ‘Best Newcomer Award’ at a certain music awards ceremony. This inevitably gives her a boost in regards to her music career. “Getting awards to me actually isn’t the most important thing. Being able to experience different things or co-operating with different musicians, getting the chance to keep on singing that is something I will definitely do.”

I am a beautiful vain girl --> Hardworking in taking care of skin and detoxing to maintain body

As an artiste, having to face a lot of people every day, working partners, fans etc. Public figures are everyone’s role model. She wants to portray the most perfect side of herself in front of everyone. Looking back at 1999 Miss Hong Kong, being awarded the second runner up, she became a TVB artiste. Her career has always been smooth sailing. Entering the industry for many years, she deeply experienced this sentence, “there are no lazy women in the world, no ugly women”.

“It has been 10 years since I enter the industry. I am changing every day. From not knowing how to put on make-up in the past to now knowing which style suits me. This are accumulated experiences. I am someone who is very ‘vain’. So I will frequently flip through beauty and fashion magazines to research on people’s make-up styles. I discover that skin and health are the most important aspects. If you have a healthy body, your skin condition will be good; naturally you will look very pretty. Consumed more fruits and soup, have a balanced diet, and also use moderate skincare products; I guarantee you will become beautiful!”

Becoming the ambassador for Adonis, always maintaining a good working relationship. Once again being appointed as their ambassador, she is very happy about it. “Very honoured to become the ambassador once again. Every time I come to Malaysia, they will let me experience some beauty process. This time round, they let me experience the latest product “Seven Chakra care”, it consists of old India’s 7 process of maintaining a healthy body and modern day discovery of essence oil formula, injecting energy into the 7 main pulse points through the oil essence. Helping to detox the human body, able to cleanse the body and soul, thus achieving the aim of maintaining a healthy body and beautifying the skin.”

I am a cat-lover group --> Hire maid to wait on 8 cats

Human must learn to love one self. So Myolie Wu just does whatever she likes to do. She loves acting and also singing. So she will continue to work hard in the entertainment industry. She who is vain thus chooses Adonis to transform her into a more confident and vibrant person. But when talking about her favourite, it is something she will never give up. That is, her cats that are waiting for her to return to take care of them.

Myolie Wu is the main lead for the drama, “When Dogs love Cats”. The theme of the drama is based on dogs and cats. The “dog” in the drama is acted by Myolie Wu while the “cat” is acted by Gallen Lo. She smiled and said she is the complete opposite in character from the drama. “I personally feel that I am more like a cat because a dog is friendlier and has more initiative and I don’t possess those characteristics. So my appearance is of a “dog” while inside, I am a “cat”. Haha…”

She really loves cats. She even thought of endorsing for cat feeds. By doing so, her cats sons and daughters are in luck to eat good food. She has 8 cats at home. Each one of them is her treasure. She treats them like family. “There is a maid in the house. The maid ain’t there to take care of me. She is there to take care of my cats. Keke…” She cheekily said it.

The level of love she felt for cats are so crazy that it affects her marriage. The cats must take part too! “My future boyfriend, whether he likes cats will be taken into consideration. Normally, no matter how busy I am, I will still find time to play with my cats; will even snap their cute actions.”

Talking about “cat scripture”, she can’t stop. “Every cat has their own characteristics. So it is a major learning process when interacting with them. If time permits, I will personally take care of everything. When they are sick, I will personally bring them to the vet. The most unforgettable is helping the cat give birth. At that time, one of the cats was having a difficult birth, at the end, really at wits end; I can only rush her to the vet. After the kittens are born, I still help to feed them. At that time, I was busy filming. Every time when I reach home, there is only 2 hours of resting time. But when I saw how those kittens do not know how to feed on the milk, I can’t bare to see them died of hunger. So I will rather forgo my sleeping time and slowly feed them.” At this point in time, seeing her displace her longing for her cats, I have to admit, she is really a good ‘mother’!

Miriam has become the spokesperson for Nestle drinks again and she's pleased with her pay, "I feel most importantly is a happy collaboration with the product's company. The advertisement is a continuation of the previous dance version. Many actions were added to suit the theme and I need to shout. Luckily the director is smart and will shoot drinking shots when I shouted for too long and lost my voice."

The advertising agent is very concern about the new TV and print ads, and specially designed a new image for Miriam. She plays a magician in the new commercial and had to work with a toy monkey. Miriam said she had met a new challenge, without much dialogue and most of the time expressing feelings with body language. Computer effects will be added in post-production and hence the need to shoot from many angles, causing her to drink more than 10 bottles of coconut lychee tea during the filming.

"If there's a chance to become a magician in real life, I'll use of the magic wand to make unhappy things, memories and people disappear, only remembering the happy things and let this world become more harmonious."

Kate Tsui and Bosco Wong were shooting a kiss scene yesterday. Kate exposed that her role in the new series is very rampant, often taking the initiative to kiss Bosco. Bosco said that Kate was "gifted and experienced", already kissed all the male artistes in the industry, he teased and said that she's the "stamp collector actress".

Yesterday Bosco and Kate were shooting a kiss scene for TVB new Lunar New Year series "The High Inner Eye Lover", the scene talked about Kate upset with Joel Chan and went to kiss Bosco. Although the two only did a touch lip kiss, but they both disliked it. Kate disliked Bosco's lips, while Bosco said that Kate was too tall and wasn't able to satisfy his "big man" mentality.

Request the scenes from Producer

Have already done kiss scenes with several Siu Sangs, Kate exposed that this time she and Bosco had the most kiss scenes: "This time my character is really rampant, always kissing Bosco, I'm suspecting if he's requesting these scenes from the producer! But luckily I am familiar with him, so we aren't embarrassed. But I don't know why there aren't any arrangements for me to kiss Wong Cho Lam, I like his lips better. I really want to try kissing Cho Lam. (Which co-star was most memorable for you?) My most memorable was the one with Richie Ren. It was a while back when I shot "Contract Lover". At the time I was really new and had to kiss a senior once we started working, so it was hard and embarrassing."

Completely satisfed kissing Kitty

Bosco teased that Kate was a "stamp collector actress", but Kate teased him back: "Your partner coming and going is the same one (referring to Myolie Wu)." Bosco tried to change the subject: "With who did I have most feeling with when kissing? Kitty Yuen because with her I have to overlook, feels special. In terms of the angle, it completely fulfills my 'big man' mentality. She feels like a small bird to me. (Have you talked to Myolie Wu before the kiss scene?) No." Also, earlier when Kitty, Cho Lam and "bring germs" Christine Kuo were shooting a chain of kiss scenes, Kitty immediately got infected afterwards, Bosco said: "I have good resistances, have no fear."

Niki Chow has no personal religious belief, but she feels religion is a good way of teaching people to perform good deeds and she supports its principle. Yesterday, she recorded a Buddhist song to help funding to build a temple. She had listened to the song a few times beforehand and she felt the melody is very soothing. Reporter asked how does she soothe herself when she is in a bad mood? Niki replied "I usually stay at home and not wanting to see anyone when I am down. I also listen to music or talk to my sister and my friends. (Did you talk to Charlene?) I did, but she is usually abroad, and I don't want her to run up a huge bill on long distance phone calls. (Would you throw things to release your stress?) Certainly not, this is because I have to pick them up afterwards. What a waste of money! (Have you got a good soulmate to listen to you and to off load?) Sure, I like talking to people anyway. I have someone who is a good listener, and she can keep a secret too. However, I don't want people to tell me their secrets, not because I will tell, but I don't want to be the one accused of leaking out the secret if it gets out."

Steven says that he really enjoyed playing this character because it is so different from the characters he has played before. People are used to seeing him in those brotherly, gentleman, “nice guy” type characters – he is happy that he gets the chance to play this “country boy” type character. He says his character likes pretty women and is always making fun of Linda’s character for being a tomboy and not having a sexy body (he calls her Chek Lap Kok, which is the name for HK’s aiport – meaning she has a flat chest and unattractive body). His experience learning some Hakka for the series was also memorable for him.

Linda’s character is very tomboyish -- Linda says this role was extremely difficult for her to play because it’s so different from who she really is. She says that she is naturally very “girlish” in nature, her voice is soft, she has long hair, etc. so to play a tomboy and have to adjust her voice plus wear a short wig, it was a very interesting experience for her. People say that with the wig on, she looks almost exactly like Fahrenheit’s Wu Zun (she already bears a resemblance), but she said they didn’t do that on purpose – originally, they were going for a much shorter, skinhead type hairdo, but it was way too short and the wig couldn’t hide all of her hair, so they decided to use the current one instead. Linda says that the best thing she likes about playing this character is that she rarely has to spend any time in makeup – she just puts on the wig, brushes up her eyebrows to make her look more like a boy, puts on some baby cream, and she’s ready to shoot the scene!

In terms of memorable experiences while filming, Steven says there was a small “incident” with Ah Huang that he will never forget. When he was posing with Ah Huang for a picture, the dog suddenly let out a huge yelp…everyone on site was very scared because they thought maybe something happened and were afraid Ah Huang might bite. Steven came to the rescue (because he’s had dogs as pets since he was little, so he is very familiar with how dogs act, what they need, etc.) He told the crew: Don’t worry, it’s nothing! Ah Huang wasn’t trying to bite me…it’s just that I accidently “stepped” on him (probably his tail or something) and he (the dog) turned around and was trying to tell me this.”

Steven says that he loves dogs and knows them extremely well (and is very close with them), so being able to film with these dogs was great for him. He says that dogs probably like being with him because he always has a “dog odor” on his body, since he’s had dogs since he was little. Though personally he doesn’t have a dog anymore since his own dog died awhile back ago, he’s satisfied with playing with his friends’ dogs or filming with dogs.

For Linda, her most memorable experience also involved Ah Huang. She says that as a veterinarian in the series, she has to be close to dogs all the time…she says she’s not afraid as long as the owner of the dog is there, since the dogs are pretty well-behaved. However there was one scene during the filming where she has to examine Ah Huang (check his fur and body, open his mouth to see his teeth, etc.), but Ah Huang actually does not like females, so he looked upset and was about to get angry. Even Steven, who was there with her, told her to be careful….he asked the director to cancel some of the shots where it would be necessary for Linda’s face and hands to have close contact with Ah Huang because he was afraid the dog might actually bite her. Linda said she was really scared, but luckily, they were able to complete the filming of that scene smoothly.

Steven and Linda's Talk about 2009 and Their Plans for 2010:

Steven – first of all, he wishes that going into the new year, everyone has good health and that the H5N1 virus will go away soon. In terms of work, he will be hosting a new variety series in 2010 – it’s a food related series (cooking show) where he will have various cooks as guests and cook stuff with them – the purpose will be to teach the audience how to make professional type dishes with just ordinary cooking. Then he talks about how he actually likes to cook and how he cooked for friends and family recently (he describes the dish that he made and stuff).

Also, the big thing for Steven next year is that he will be returning to the music scene after so many years away….most likely he will work on an album for the coming year (whether it’s behind the scenes or actually singing – it will be related to creating a record album). In terms of series, he will challenge himself to play an “evil” character this year, as it’s something he’s never tried before. He says that people keep telling him that he has been acting for 16 years, yet he has never played an evil character, so it’s time to do so now. He says the producers and directors agreed to give him the opportunity, but most importantly is to find a good script that will have a good “evil” character for him to play.

Linda – First part talks about her work in 2009 (filming the movie 72 Tenants, attending the various HK music awards ceremonies, etc.) . But she was happy doing it and never felt tired because she felt that she gained a lot in 2009 – she had the opportunity to travel to different countries to perform and also release her 2nd album.

Her plans for 2010 are to attend even more awards ceremonies (doesn’t matter if she gets an award or not – just for the experience). Also, she will continue to pursue her music career, but will completely change her image when it comes to music. She says that in the past, her image has always been “innocent good girl” type…this year, she wants to change that to a “cool girl” image…but she stresses she will not do the “sexy girl” image….

In terms of series, Linda says that she has gotten a lot of inspiration from her friends. She says that one of her friends got into an accident and as a result became a handicapped person…seeing what her friend has to go through –from being a “normal” person to having to deal with this big change (being handicapped), is a very difficult journey and internally there are definitely a lot of struggle and pain. She said it will be a challenge to play this kind of role and would help to expand her own inner emotions and feelings – plus it would help send a message to the audience to take care of themselves and cherish good health as well as a healthy body.

Yesterday Tavia Yeung attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at a hotel with Aimee Chan. She smiled and said that for the start of the new year, she has many opportunities to earn more money. Asked if she has enough for a luxury home? She said: "You can say that!" Asked who does she earn most with when attending events? Tavia laughed: "I don't mind, I eat all big and small!" She won't mind if she had to earn money with rumored boyfriend Chris Lai, can go arm in arm or even a kiss on the spot, but with an extra fee.

Aimee was quite revealing at the event, but she did not feel cold. Speaking of last night's episode of "Off Pedder" focused on Chan Hung Lit's character. Aimee said: "I watched it too, but did not cry. Actually I felt quite happy because [Chan] role was very touching to everyone's hearts, just like in reality. Audience can see a more happy side of [Chan]."

FAMA's new album is produced by a well-known producer from overseas. In interview, they revealed that it was their boss Edison Chen's idea. Edison felt that FAMA had debuted for a period of time already and it is necessary for them to have a new breakthrough and excitement. In the past, FAMA's songs were all custom made, this time they have a well-known producer to help them choose the songs they like.

FAMA had always admired Dayo Wong's stand-up comedies, and had the opportunity to attend an event with him before. The two of them greeted their idol silently, but when their idol Dayo left the location, FAMA turned into crazy fans as they chase after his car, but in the end they had no luck.

It was said that earlier when Kay Tse attended an award ceremony, she exposed herself. The night before yesterday, she attended a opening ceremony for a sunglasses shop and stressed that it was not possible that she exposed herself. She said: "I would always have something under for protection, I'm confident in this matter! (The report said that you were wearing a T-back underwear?) I have always placed safety first. If I had to choose between safety or beauty, I would definitely choose safety. I know when I get in and out of a car, I can expose myself easily, so I always do very careful protection underneath."

Kay expresses that in the past she does not like wearing exaggerated styled glasses, she felt that the exaggeration would make her look ugly, but now her husband Louis Cheung said that he likes it. Under his influence, sometimes friends would give them glasses as gifts. She smiled and said that currently she nearly a hundred pairs of glasses at home.

Since Amigo Choi was allegedly assaulted his girl friend Elizabete Kwong on 22nd December, he has been staying at home apart from reporting to the police station. He refused any outside contact. His friends are very worried that he may have emotional problems. TVB general manager Stephen Chan disclosed that Lam Kin Ming, chairperson of "Joyful mental health foundation" has offered a helping hand. Amigo's friends are also concerned about his psychological well being, they often go to his house to support him.

Stephen revealed that Amigo went to the police station two days ago, and he will go there again at the end of the month. He went on to say that Amigo hasn't been out at all since the incidence. Stephen suggested to Amigo to take a walk outside, but Amigo is still having emotional problems. Stephen added that friends of Amigo are very worried about him, they visit him at home, hoping to offer him some support. In particular, Lam Kin Ming had contacted him and suggested that Amigo needs counseling at this time.

It has been over two weeks since the incidence and Amigo hasn't openly explained the details of the alleged assault. Stephen said due to the incidence is still being processed, it is not appropriate for him to make any comment.

Amigo's work has been suspended indefinitely. Originally there was plan to release the new program "Big Boys Club" in the second season, but now, it will be released earlier instead of "My name is Bong".

Amigo's former girlfriend Natalie Tong had an interview with the New Metro yesterday, she said she hasn't contacted Amigo, but she believed if there is any new development about the case, she will be told, and the company will clarify everything too.

Elizabete on the other hand has told the media that she hopes the new year will bring a new beginning. She is going to forget everything and stay calm.

Gillian Chung, William Chan, Michelle Wai and the rest of the cast including producer Chapman To and the director attended EEG's new film "Former 前度" blessing ceremony. EEG's boss Albert Yeung also came to support, which clearly shows this film is a big production. Chapman praised that the acting from the cast was amazing, especially female lead Ah Gil who had a Bob haircut along with high heels. Mr. Yeung praised that she's so pretty that he'll faint.

Ah Gil reveals that in the new film, she plays William's girlfriend, having many kiss and bed scenes. She also gave her first on-screen kiss to him: "When the director called cut, I had to immediately push him away, the second time he backed off himself. After a few more kisses, he was pretty good to kiss. The bed scenes are still undergoing changes, it won't be pornographic." She then laughed and said that William and Michelle will have even more heated kiss scenes. Asked if she's worried that her film cannot be shown in Mainland? She said: "It's an artistic film, the main focus is the Hong Kong market."

William laughed and said that because Ah Gil gave her first kiss to him, looks like the kiss was filled with brain fire, he said: "I'm honored to take Ah Gil and Michelle's 'first time', even if there was no fee, I would still do it! (Who are you more heated with?) Michelle. We kissed more than 10 times and still had to keep going after 4 hours! From the bathroom to the corridor, living room to the sofa. My back was hurting after filming." Michelle laughed: "Kissed so much that my lips felt scraped. We were rolling around so much that our legs were bruised and we had to do it with many movements too." William said that he's usually filming in his underwear for most of the film. To show off his acting career, he has won Charlene Choi, Ah Gil, Michelle and Vivien Chow's 'first time' in different styles. Speaking of Michelle's breakthrough scene of revealing her full back, she said: "I didn't dare to watch the play back, when the Director called cut, I started crying."

(Is it hopes to win awards during year end?) It is not related. I’ve come across good scripts and most important is happy during filming progress. (How do you reward yourself?) If possible, I want to change my car.
