Outbound Love' Celebrates Regain of High Ratings Peaked at 31 Points 

TVB series Outbound Love's TV ratings have increased. Up until today, the average rating is 29 points with a peak rating of 31 points. Yesterday the cast including Ruco Chan, Aimee Chan, Tony Hung and Lin Xiawei (Rosina Lam) celebrated the success. The on-screen couples fed their partners cake to celebrate Valentine's Day. Aimee said: "I'm pleased to hear the audience are still supporting us after the new year break. The series is about to get exciting, it will get better and better. My family of 3 watches the series together, sometimes I carry my son with one hand and watch the series on my iPad with the other. My son is beginning to listen to sound/voices. At the time, baby also participated in the shooting, he brings us so much luck!" 

When Cindy Lee and other good friends went to send new year greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Chan, they were only allowed to take photos of a sleeping baby Aiden. Does Aimee not want to expose Aiden's looks to the public? Aimee explained its just a device to let parents watch over their babies, it was not something to prevent friends from seeing her baby. 

Tony laughed and said his friends are not used to seeing him in TV series. He said: "They are more used to watching me on travel shows. It felt strange seeing me in a TV series and they even teased that I'm the 'Expression King' because my expressions were really exaggerated. In the coming year, I will be concentrated more on filming series. Travel shows, I will only be doing one per year. If Samantha Ko wants to be my partner, I'm afraid I won't be able to concentrate." Ruco Chan expressed the ratings going back up is a source of encouragement. He hopes for good results during the finale, so they can have another celebration.

Yesterday Aimee Chan, Ruco Chan, Lin Xiawei, Samantho Ko and the other cast of TVB series Outbound Love met up at a restaurant in Kowloon Bay for a dinner celebration and to watch the finale. Aimee disclosed she'll be splitting the bill with Ruco and the producer. As for the ratings, Aimee expressed despite the Lunar New Year holiday, the series still got a peak rating of 31 points which isn't bad at all and all that hard work filming in Malaysia paid off. 

Aimee just became a mother not long ago, she plans to maintain good health and concentrate on taking good care of her son. She probably won't film another series until mid or end of the year. Asked if she'll miss her son when that time comes? Aimee laughed: "Sure because baby is growing everyday, but I also really miss filming. When I was watching the series, all the feelings came back. (What does your husband Moses Chan think about that?) He told me to go pursue my own dream. My dream is to be a good actress, but my other responsibility is to raise my son and I hope I can balance between the two." Asked if she plans to throw a 100th day party for her son? Aimee said she may. Asked if she'll invite friends from the industry? She said: "We have many friends from the industry, but I like to keep a low-profile." She expressed she and Moses still hasn't come up with a perfect Chinese name for baby Aiden yet. 

Samantha Ko disclosed she caught the My Love from the Star 'poison', her highest record was watching the drama 3 nights straight without sleeping. She watched so much, she couldn't even open her eyes and the following day, she had to film TVB show Find a Good Man (搵個好男人). Asked if she wanted to find a boyfriend like 'Do Min-Joon' (Kim Soo-Hyun's role in the drama)? She said: "Yes. Whenever I encounter trouble, he will come out and rescue me. Kim's acting is also really good, I can learn from him. (Did your mother hurry you to get married during the Lunar New Year holiday?) She's been rushing me to save up more money so I can buy a home. If the housing prices drop this year, there is a high possibility I can get one." 

Also, TVB announced Outbound Love's two hour finale on Sunday averaged 32 points and peaked at 35 points (at 10:52pm during the last few minutes of the episode), about 2.27 million people were watching. The 22 episode series averaged 26 points.

Tavia Yeung Teases Kenneth Ma Doesn't Dare to Request to Add Kiss Scenes

Yesterday Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung, Joel Chan, Yoyo Chen, Cilla Lok and Benjamin Yuen attended Lee Tim Shing's TVB new series The Beauty of Bureaucracyblessing ceremony. Tavia disclosed in the series she plays a disciple of a commoner who did not shave his head. She and Kenneth are a couple once again, and since its rare for her to be in a Qing dynasty series, she sees this as a whole new relationship. Because Tavia had worked with Kenneth multiple times before, they already had the chemistry and didn't need to spend time to build the chemistry. Asked if they had any kiss scenes? Tavia said: "We did have one. We're a bickering pair in this series, and ended up kissing under an unusual environment, but its a very beautiful one. ('Car shake'?) They have cars in that time period? We won't be car shaking, more like sedan chair shaking! (Kenneth is known to like requesting kiss scenes from the producer, did he do the same this time?) He doesn't dare to, he's just all talk. If I said I wanted to add more, I guarantee you he won't have the guts. When I kiss him, he'll be frightened." Also, Tavia had many scenes opposite of Joel as well, she praised he's in good shape. Joel plays a tragic character in the series, Kenneth and Susan Tse are his brother and mother respectively. Asked if he had any scenes where Susan slaps him? Joel laughed: "Probably not. I'm a filial son in the series."

When speaking of Joel having afternoon tea with Alan Tam earlier and Alan named him the "Morning Jog Son", Joel expressed he knew Alan even before he entered the industry. Sometimes he bumps into Alan during his morning jogs. Asked if Alan gave him any word of wisdom? Joel smiled: "We just talk about jogging, kicking ball and share our fun jogging experiences. I know Alan goes for a jog right before his concerts, so he can nurture his vocals. He said he jogged 8km in 30 minutes once. (Meet up for a jog together?) Usually we do that when we play ball together."

It has already been two years since Steven appeared in a TVB series, asked whether he's worried he might break his "TV Rating Lucky Star" image and whether he had confidence in the series? He said: "The TV rating trends had changed in the recent years. Before when a new series premieres, the rating would be at least 30 points, but now I feel a little pressured!" When speaking of his new song releasing on the music charts in March, Steven expressed he invited Fala Chen for the duet and she'll be the female lead in the MV. He personally produced and directed the MV. He said: "For my other two songs, I hope to invite Tavia Yeung and Linda Chung to be the female leads in the MV! (Kiss scenes?) Maybe! (Afraid people might say you're taking a 'public device' for personal use?) At most people may say it's incest! Everyone knows they're my sisters!" 

Katy Kung was recently rumored with a hair salon owner and she was photographed on a date with former Mr. Hong Kong Jack Hui. She explained she's been collaborating with the male hairstylist for many years, and she just went to show her support at his new hair salon. As for Jack Hui, she was having dinner with him and other friends. She stressed she is still single. 

Tavia purchased a basket full of organic vegetables at the farm, she expressed her mother liked to eat them and has planted several pots on their balcony at home. Asked how she's spending Valentine's Day this year? Tavia said: "Working! But I really want to hot pot with my mom! (Call Him Law to join you?) He's welcomed to come! It's not a big deal, just an extra chopstick. I'm not a person who likes to call and invite people, and I rarely call him. (He invites you?) I don't know. (Prepared a gift?) Nope, I never do these things. (Looking forward to it?) Don't waste money! The flowers are expensive, just buy a some vegetables, so we can add it to our hot pot." Tavia expressed she's not a romantic person, and has never personally made chocolates for anyone. What she does most is buy chocolates for others. Tavia frankly expressed she rarely gets Valentine's Day gifts, in the past she got flowers before. What hopes does she have for this year? She laughed: "Nothing much. Actually when two people are together, gifts and little surprises could be given on any ordinary day." 

Also, Him attended a separate event yesterday and when asked whether he prepared any gifts or surprises for girlfriend Tavia Yeung on Valentine's Day? He said: "Keep it simple! Call more people to come, that would be a great surprise. No need to be romantic! (Already an old couple?) No, I'm actually off on that day, but she has to work! (Gift?) Valentine's Day gifts are not just for one person, everyone should get one, it's courtesy!"

haron Chan Wins Her First Music Award "Bounty Lady" Sub Song at Weibo Star 2013 Awards 

Yesterday Chilam Cheung, Sharon Chan and Fred Cheng attended the Weibo Star 2013 Awards Ceremony. The awards ceremony was hosted by Sina HK, and based entirely off of votes from Weibo fans. Sharon won a Weibo's TV series song award for her single Think of a Day (想一天), which was the sub theme song of TVB series Bounty Lady, and defeated Joey Yung's Sequel (續集) The Hippocratic Crush II theme song. Bounty Lady was also one of the winners of the Top Ten Weibo Topics (HK). It was Sharon's first music award, she was so excited and happy when she accepted the award. She especially thanked her fans for their support and this award triggered her interest for singing again. She hopes to launch her own gospel album this year and spread the gospel spirit through her voice. In regards to Sammy Leung withdrawing from TVB series The Apostle, Sharon expressed he was felling unwell and she cried because she was so worried about him. She hopes Sammy gets better soon and there definitely will be more opportunities to collaborate in the future. However, the kiss scenes she did with Sammy earlier, she will have to do it again with Sammy Sum. It was fortunate they didn't film that many scenes before, so the impact isn't big. 

Chilam was one of the winners of the Top Ten HK Famous People on Weibo. He expressed he's a Weibo fan himself. He recalled when he first debuted, he frequently got letters from fans, but now with the advanced technology, he can talk to fans on Weibo, making it even more convenient, however, there is a disadvantage as communicating electronically loses the "romantic feel". But Chilam smiled and said Weibo's advantage is that he can see how much "damage" he is getting over the internet while he's working hard in Hong Kong and his wife is happily going on a shopping spree in Paris.

Charmaine Li Considers Ending 9 Year Relationship with TVB, Looking for a Breakthrough 

In just a blink of an eye, Charmaine Li has already been working at TVB for 9 years. Since her debut series Sunshine Heartbeat, she has been in many series over the years, but Charmaine frankly expressed her contract with TVB is ending in May and has not discuss a renewal yet. She said there are many other options outside of TVB available to her. When asked of the chances of her renewing the contract? She said without hesitation that other TV stations have met with her as well, but nothing is confirmed yet. She expressed the most important to her is not money, but the opportunities. "This year I will be trying many new things, and now I'm thinking whether I should renew the TVB contract or develop outside. Later, I will be hosting a new radio show that is a lot like All Things Girl. Also, I am taking singing lessons in hope to plan for my future." It turns out, Charmaine has her own online business where she sells diamonds. 

In the past, Charmaine focused on her acting in TV series, but after being with TVB for so many years, she usually shoots ancient or pre-modern series. She expressed she doesn't want to be branded to one type of role. She hopes to try out different types of roles, such as a doctor, lawyer or other professionals. She said: "I've been acting so long and now have higher expectation on myself. I hope for new challenges on a higher level and more opportunities. Money is not my most important thing, it is the screen time and opportunity that is more important." 

Charmaine is currently taking singing lessons, asked if she has high ambitions in this area? She said: "To me, singing is very deep. My husband (Ricky Fan)had Dai Sze Chung as his singing teacher many years ago and had good success. I hope I'll have achievements as soon as possible too, but can't rush it. Have to take it slowly and practice more."

Ruco expressed he purchased a HK$2000 scuba diving suit just to film this scene. "This time, I have to jump into a well, into the lake, into the sea and the pool. That's a total of 4 times in the water. This is my first time filming at the pool in the studio, really looking forward to it. (What made you the happiest was getting to kiss Linda Chung again?) No, just the scene was beautiful. I liked it a lot, but I'm worried the girls going to be scared of me because anybody who works with me will have action scenes. (Fear Linda's boyfriend might get jealous?) Why? I don't usually care about these things. We are both professional artists and its not our first time collaborating. (Have all the chemistry?) Yes!" 

When speaking of Linda losing her HK$3,500, asked if he comforted LindaBB? He laughed: "Shouldn't I not mention it and pretend like I don't know. I don't want to bring up her bad experiences."
