Bosco Wong to Fly Solo in a Swim Brief, Niki Chow Supports Agreeing to Wear 2-Piece Bathing Suit

Yesterday Bosco Wong, Niki Chow, Michael Miu, Joey Meng, Vincent Wong and Elaine Yiu attended the promotional event for TVB new series A Change of Heart. Earlier Bosco suggested if the are high ratings, then he'll celebrate in a bathing suit with Michael and Niki. Unfortunately, Michael and Niki refused. Bosco said: "Michael and Niki aren't willing to wear one, tell Niki to wear a scuba diving suit then! Go to the beach and get so hot to death!" He expressed if nobody is going to accompany him, then if the ratings reaches 32 points, he'll fly solo and wear a triangle swim brief to celebrate. Michael said: "I look disgusting in a triangle swim brief. If I really have to wear one, then I will need to ask Nick Cheung for some tips on undergoing a 3 month physical training."

Niki initially refused to wear a bikini, she joked she'll "rush away the viewers" if she does. However, Bosco complained she has to cherish her body, while Michael added if she doesn't wear a bikini at this age, she may not have the opportunity again. Under the peer pressure, Niki helplessly agreed to wear one if the rating reaches 35 points. She said: "I'm afraid I'll scare people, I'm only wearing a two-piece bathing suit." Niki disclosed because she's going to be filming for 3 months in Mainland, she might be able to get away with her 'promise'!

As the series premiere comes closer, Bosco is feeling more and more pressure. He expressed if the premiere gets 26 or 27 points, its already good enough because its hard to predict what the audience likes.

Earlier Niki experienced a sudden flat tire incident on the highway while driving into Hengdian and almost got into an accident. She said: "I wasn't wearing a seat belt and I was fast asleep. The van ran up the curb and almost flipped. I really have to thank God." She frankly expressed she only accepted to shoot a costume drama in the summer because of the considerably good pay. Although she is not getting paid as much as Raymond Lam's 10 million RMB, but her salary is still enough to buy a home.

Bosco Wong Kissed by Michael Miu is a Bright Idea for Series Promotion 

Yesterday Bosco Wong, Eliza Sam, Regen Cheung, Vincent Wong, Nancy Wu and Siu Bo attended the blessing ceremony for TVB new series Mr. & Mrs. Bean. Bosco anxiously asked reporters of A Change of Heart's premiere ratings. He disclosed he met up with 3 Gor (Michael Miu), Niki Chow and Joey Meng for dinner to watch the premiere together. When asked of 3 Gor kissing Eric Tsang's daughter-in-law's cheek? He laughed: "That night 3 Gor embraced me and kissed me too. The picture was posted on Weibo. 3 So (Jamie Chik) was laughing all night too. He has a ton of these photos! That's 3 Gor's bright idea to promote for the series. A senior is a senior! Of course, I don't have these kinds of pictures, but 3 Gor can handle it for us." Asked if has one of these pictures with Myolie Wu? He shouted, "wah!" Then changed the subject. 

Eliza frankly expressed she has a lot of lines in this series and feels very nervous. She gets off work at midnight and because she's so nervous, she wakes up early in the morning to study the script. She admitted she feels stress once the cameras start rolling because she's afraid of mispronouncing the words in her lines. Eliza expressed she's been busy learning Chinese. Asked if she's afraid she might say a swear word unknowingly? "I'm not sure if this is considered an advantage, sometimes its better not to know what some words means. (Worried of rumors with Bosco?) Rumors are given to us by the media, I hope we don't get any!" 

Regen No Fate to Collaborate with Fala Chen 

Its been 3 years since Regen been in a TVB series, she stressed she's still a member of HotCha and does not have plans of disbanding. It was said she coincidentally comes back to TVB when Fala Chen leaves. A few years ago, Regen was rumored with Fala's boyfriend, Neway Prince Sit Sai Hang, and that she's been on bad terms with Fala. Regen said: "If I'm that influential, then I rather tell TVB to give me more series to film. I personally can't influence much. (Do you feel its a pity you don't have the opportunity to collaborate with Fala?) Nope! Because we never collaborated before. If there is an opportunity then that would be pretty good because I entered the industry at age 15, so I've known her at a young age."

Selena Li - When Luck Knocks On Her Door

Selena Li - When Luck Knocks On Her Door 

"So happy, finally this is the last interview." Selena Li thought of this statement as the prologue of this interview. After she said that, she couldn't help herself, but to laugh and laugh again. 

Selena came from a wealthy family, but unfortunately her father couldn't handle his business and went bankrupted, leaving behind a lot of debt. When Selena participated in Miss Hong Kong, she swept the "Miss Photogenic" and "Miss Talent" awards, but despite being a hot favorite she didn't even make it in the top five at the finals. She previously invested over HK$1 million on a beauty school, but due to its involvement in a pyramid scheme, she decided to withdraw from the business. The first half of Selena's life could be described as a strong start, but weak finish. She said: "In the 10 years I've been in the industry, I fall short from the best, better than the worst. I haven't gotten up to the best, but my style is to let nature take its course. I currently have many opportunities and that's already very good, very lucky. Haha." 

Indeed, Selena was considered a lucky one. The second year after she participated in Miss Hong Kong, she was already given the second female lead roles in Just Love and The Herbalist's Manual. We all thought she would keep moving up, but unexpectedly she just had been floating around all along. Even today, she still hasn't become one of the first line TVB FaDans and wasn't part of any awards despite being nominated 9 times. "This industry is very interesting. Many things just happens in a split second. For example, I ask you who the TV Queen was 3 years ago, you may not remember. The world is very very big, don't think too highly of yourself. I'm just one of the actresses in a HK television station. When you turn on the TV, you see the news on the Sichuan earthquake and many people died; Terrorist bombings in the U.S. How could you feel upset that you couldn't get the TV Queen title or couldn't compete in the TV Queen race? You'll feel ashamed, right?" 

Values Relationship & Loyalty 

In the recent series Slow Boat Home, Selena is still just the second female lead. She plays the gold digger HK girl Heidi and because of her career she takes advantage of her boyfriend. "My role is very different from myself. She will put her relationships aside, her career is priority no matter what. As for me personally, I am a person who really, really, really value my relationships. I will contribute and sacrifice a lot for my partner. I am also a loyal person, such as a friend who is down, I wouldn't leave him or perhaps when many people are bashing him, I would come out and speak justice for him." Everyone can see, this "him" Selena refers to is the only boyfriend she had admitted to dating since her debut, Patrick Tang. The two dated for 5 years and broke up in 2010. 

No Longer Goes Out At Nights 

After her break up, Selena had been surrounded by so many rumors and gossips. Her rumored partners included the nightclub boss (Mo Yik Ming), finance expert (Phil) and most recently Fiona Sit's ex-rumored boyfriend Reggie Martin, the executive of The Macao Venetian. Selena said: "The press made me sound like a slut, so miserable. Actually I'm just a normal girl. If you are single in this industry, you go out for a drink, then you're trying to hook up with a guy; if you go to a dimmer place, then you're partying at a nightclub. The pen is in the hand of other people, they can write whatever they want about you, I can't do anything about it. This is the reality, you have to accept it and the only thing you can do is to just try to avoid it as much as possible. Nowadays, once it gets dark outside, I don't go out. Hahaha." She brings a smile along with her words, as if she's just talking about another person's story.

As for her other half, Selena said she won't choose someone wealthy. "I'm not saying they aren't good people, just we all have different experiences. Also, they have too many girls around them and may not know how to cherish you. I don't need a man with money, too much money is hard to satisfy. For example, when I was young I would be happy with just a cup of cola, but now its not the same. Perhaps riding on a cruise would make me happier." Life is bitter and short, even if "a mountain is still a mountain high" is a fact, but knowing your blessings may not be a bad thing after all.

Charmaine Sheh Back Next Year to Rescue TVB

Yesterday Charmaine Sheh attended the Hong Kong Green Day event. At the event, Charmaine denied joining Eric Tsang's artist management company. Her previous meeting with Eric had nothing to do with contracts. Asked if he invited her to be in his TV series? Charmaine said: "He did before. The earliest I could come back for a TVB series is next year." Is TVB asking her to come back to rescue them? Charmaine didn't understand the question, but when she learned Beauty At War did poorly, she had a huge reaction: "Are you kidding?! I watched it, but I'm not pertinent enough because I've seen the script before and didn't think it was difficult to understand. I'm a loyal fan of Jonathan Chik and Chow Yuk Ming. No matter how bad the ratings are, I still think its a good series." Does Charmaine feel lucky she wasn't part of the series? She said there is no relation.

Beginning 2014, TVB hopes to give their artists at least 8 hours of rest time and 80% of the completed script prior to the start of filming. Charmaine said: "Many series has a script before filming starts. I'm happy to hear about the 8 hour rest time! Rest time is very important to an artist because not enough rest will affect the performance and that isn't fair to the audience." Although many artists are leaving TVB to earn the "real money" in Mainland, Charmaine believes TVB has their own method to keep artists, such as giving pay raises.

Niki Chow Hurried to Find Mr. Right, Gives Up on Being Picky 

Yesterday Niki Chow attended the new store opening of JUST GOLD. It was announced Niki is the company's spokesperson of greater China. The event organizers hired magician Louis Fan, whom Linda Chung previously played a practical joke on, to perform a magic trick with Niki. He magically made the jewelry and clothes on the poster with Niki in it disappeared. Niki laughed: "Don't take it out to show everyone, I can't even show myself in a bikini." 

Niki expressed the organizers arranged her outfit, she said: "I don't need to show my body shape, I've always had a normal girl figure and I accept it." When speaking of Just Gold giving her lots of golden jewelries? She said: "I hope I find my Mr. Right soon, and fulfill everyone's wish. I'm working hard on giving others a chance." She frankly expressed she's been going out on dates with a pursuer, "Some may have feelings for me and although I don't have the same feelings yet, I won't be as picky as I used to." She enjoys the single life and the feeling of having pursuers, but she's not in a rush to get married. "I really like children. I may end up having a child before getting married. (You want a son and not a husband?) I'm not that crazy, like borrowing a man's sperm. I want a husband to take care of the baby with me, then that would be perfect." 

Niki's new TVB series A Change of Heart's premiere averaged at 24 points? She happily said: "The series has good discussions going on. I have a lot of kiss scenes with Bosco Wong this time, the most I've ever had in a series. I also have a kiss scene with Michael Miu. There is one intense and passionate scene with Bosco, but I'm not sure if the scene is going to get cut or not." She expressed when she first got the script, there were too many daring and intense scenes, but adjustments were later made to the script to reduce the amount.
