Eric Tsang, Ada Choi and Ruco Chan attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for an investment company yesterday. The MC congratulated Ada for her husband winning the best supporting actor title. Ada, wearing a white tube dress and showing her long legs disclosed that she is successfully managing the family finance "My husband does not like to invest in money (He doesn't ask you about investing money?) That is right, I usually tell him about my investment, he also told me not to die yet because he wouldn't know how to manage the family finance. I told him he has to. Now that he has more work, so have I, and we work hard together, we are blessed. (Have you double your investment?) More then double a few times!"

Eric Tsang is the spokesperson for the investment company. He disclosed he invests his money in different occasions at different times. Asked if he has invested in the entertainment business promoting Raymond Lam and Fala Chan, Eric smiled and said "Raymond is so popular already, no need for me to promote him!" Eric went on to say the company specifically want to help new comers. "Fala is very motivated, she has been to many places to study filming. As for Raymond, I will help him if necessary. They all call me "dad", I treat everybody the same." Eric denied the rumor that Flora Chan played up, hence she was absent from "Never Dance Alone" promotion activities, in her defense, Eric said " Don't get it wrong. From day one of the filming, she has been very happy. I know she has to concentrate in her study and exam and she had already said she might not be able to attend all the promotion activities. She is a professional actress, I admire her!"

Ada Choi & Moses Chan part of the set for a HK$120 Tourist fee to take pictures

Ada Choi and Moses Chan are currently shooting in Hengdian for TVB new series Beauty at War. As there is a fee of 100RMB (HK$120) to tour the Hengdian World Studios and see the stars, nearly 50 tourists rushed in to see the artists filming from afar. However, the tourists eventually broke past the restricted line set by the crew and went up towards Ada and Moses for pictures. When Ada was busy being interviewed by the media, she pitifully became part of the set for tourists to take pictures and couldn’t make a sound.

Ada admitted after the hot broadcast of Empresses in the Palace (後宮甄嬛傳) in Mainland, she got a pay raise. Back then she was still carrying her, at the time, unborn daughter when shooting that drama. Ada laughed that her daughter Chor Yee brings good luck and since Chor Yee's still young, she's taking her everywhere she goes because she's afraid she won't have the chance once she starts school. Ada exposed her beloved daughter is very sticky, like a koala, she laughed: "Moses said there's a great possibly my daughter's going to be a martial artist or athlete when she grows up." When speaking of Mainland artists being too expensive? Ada said: "A price like that indicates the artist is very laborious. If there's a good script, then artists won't mind if there's a pay reduction."

Mainland Endorser sues Ada

Also it was said Ada and her endorsement company went to court in Mainland. Ada's manager expressed the hearing is still in the process: "Ada is not looking for compensation, but rather justice. Earlier we found on Weibo that the advertisement was still up after the contract expired. We already sent multiple warning letters to the company, but they didn't care and even sued Ada back for breaching the contract during her pregnancy. The contract did not say there would be a penalty if she's pregnant nor did it say Ada had to give a month advanced notice when she attend events. The boss of that company basically have no evidence to backup their claims."

Charmaine Sheh indirectly bashes Myolie Wu: I can buy a 10 million home just by shooting 1 Mainland drama 

Yesterday China, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists gathered at the star-studded The 18th Shanghai Television Festival (STVF) opening ceremony. Rumored couple Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng were present along with Ada Choi, Christine Ng and TVB Siu Sang & FaDans Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu and Moses Chan. Ada recently got her pay raised to 20K RMB per episode for her participation in Zhenhuan Zhuan (甄嬛傳) and is the top paid among the HK actresses. Charmaine isn't weak either, as she disclosed her pay is comparable. She also indirectly bashes Myolie Wu, who recently purchased a HK$10 million luxury home after shooting just two Mainland dramas. Charmaine said: "I just have to shoot one drama and I can buy it!" As for Kevin Cheng, who has pocketed 30 million RMB just within 6 months of working in Mainland, Virgina reveals he plans to buy 3 Shatins. 

Ada Choi's popularity in Mainland rapidly rises 

After Zhenhuan Zhuan (甄嬛傳), Ada's popularity in Mainland rapidly rises, and it was rumored her salary went up to 20K RMB per episode, 15K more than Charmaine. However, Charmaine is recently shooting Marry Into Wealthy Family (嫁入豪門), it was also said her pay surpasses 20K? She smiled and did not deny: "That's good." Then she adds: "I don't know what others are making, it's just too tiring to make comparisons. As for my salary has always been changing. It's best that we are make money, salaries are business secrets." When speaking of Myolie recently buying a HK$10 million luxury home just after shooting two Mainland dramas? How many does Charmaine have to shoot to buy one herself? Charmaine boasted: "Just one! But of course I have to see if it fits my goals. I want to buy a home too, but the current housing prices aren't worth it." 

Myolie Wu buys HK$10 million dream home 

Couple Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong attended STVF together, and jointly expressed they haven't really seen each other because of their busy work schedules. Since last year until now, Myolie has already done 4 Mainland dramas, and was described by Virgina Lok that she's currently the highest paid TVB actress? Myolie said: "If I get paid any higher, then no one would want me. I am currently very pleased with my salary. In fact, each series pays differently. If the crew and co-stars are people I want to collaborate with, then a flat rate is all worth it." Is she paid 20K RMB per episode? She laughed: "I don't dare to comment too much on the money, but I'm very happy. Two Mainland series, and I can already buy my HK$10 million ideal luxury home. Now I can live closer to my family." Is Myolie planning to cohabit with Bosco? She stressed she lives with her 8 cats and sister. Bosco denied he's buying a diamond ring to propose to Myolie because his career is still the priority now. 

Charmaine and Kevin were both at STVF promoting for their latest Mainland dramas Marry Into Wealthy Family (嫁入豪門) and Love And Passion (萬水千山風雨情) respectively. Because they appeared at different times, the rumored couple never got to meet. Charmaine said: "This is such a big event, I haven't seen him around, but it's so rare I saw Bobby (Au-Yeung), I have more fate with him!" She expressed her current love life is completely empty, asked if she has any pursuers? She laughed and said she must say yes. Has she thought of marrying into a wealthy family? She said: "I don't mind whether if I marry into wealthy family or not, the most important is happiness." It was rumored she's going to guest star in Beauty at War? Charmaine said: "TVB hasn't approached me. I wasn't able to participate earlier due to the schedule conflicts, such a pity. I bumped into Jonathan Chik in Hengdian, and we had dinner together." 

Virgina Lok: Kevin plans to buy 3 Shatins 

It was said Kevin Cheng's salary in Mainland is 25K per episode, when asked about Bosco Wong exposing his salary is close to 20K? Kevin heard the question wrong and said: "He gets 20K too? I don't know how much he earns, but if he really does get 20K, then he should treat me." In regards to Virgina Lok exposing: "Kevin's current goal is to buy 3 Shatins." Kevin jokingly complained: "Boss, it's a dream. I hope to give one to my mother, my future children and one to rent out. This way, my future children can have a place to live, I'm still working on it." 

Reporters mentioned Charmaine also was at STVF, have they met? Kevin: "We'll chat if we meet, but not a dinner. Too many paparazzi here. I'm not afraid of rumors, just want to avoid unnecessary news." He is shooting long-term in Mainland, asked if he'll find a Mainland girlfriend? He continued his 'theory': "In 'dreams' yes, but 'dreams' could be anything!" 

Ada, Moses, Kenny Wong and Christine Ng appeared at STVF to promote for TVB series Beauty at War. The crew is currently shooting in Hengdian, Ada took her daughter with her on the trip, convenient for her to look after her. 

Moses' coffee gets everyone rushing to the restroom 

When asked about her rumored 20K RMB per episode? She laughed and did not comment. Moses, standing besides her, teased that she's most popular. Aside from shooting, Moses also makes coffee for the crew. Moses laughed and said yesterday morning after he brew a special coffee for everyone to try, they all rushed to find the restroom. Ada said his coffee is diuretic.

Sheren Tang, Ada Choi, Moses Chan at 'War and Beauty II' costume fitting

Sheren Tang, Ada Choi, Moses Chan at 'War and Beauty II' costume fitting 

Yesterday Ada Choi, Sheren Tang, Alice Chan, Tracy Ip, Moses Chan and Kenny Wong attended the costume fitting for TVB new series War and Beauty II. The sequel has been completely repackaged with a whole new story, the relationships are tangled and complicated. Sheren will continue being the 'Yue Fei' in this series, but her role will be more friendly than the last series. She'll often have to help her younger sister Christine Ng patch things up for no particular reason. As far as her relationships go, she will be connected with a mixture of people including the harem's nanny Ada Choi and the playboy Chinese opera performer Moses Chan. In the Sales Presentation clip, a bed scene between Ada and Sheren was seen. Regarding this, Sheren said: "I believe we don't have those scenes anymore." Producer Jonathan Chik also said there won't be homosexual topics in the series. 

It was rumored because the homosexual element clashes with Sheren's religion, Christianity, so she didn't really want to promote brokeback relationships and declined to do the scenes. The script had to be modified to accommodate her. She said a little upset: "No! Don't ask about these things, there's none. It's strange talking about this stuff. We, artists are very passive." She expressed the 'Yue Fei' in this series is a conservative person, and will not be frank about her relationships, so the series will rely on spiritual interactions. This has become her greatest challenge, Sheren laughed: "The most difficult is having to interact spiritually (i.e. using eyes), luckily I personally trained myself pretty well in the past few years." 

Ada does not mind brokeback scenes 

Ada is also Christian, but she said she hasn't received the script yet, so she doesn't know the direction of her relationships. However, she does not mind filming a brokeback relationship because she has done it before. She said each individual has their own limit, she will respect and admire as well respect all decisions made by Christians: "In fact, I don't accept ghost series or I may not even shoot intense bed scenes with men. Will have to see what the story line is trying to convey. If it's an vague sister relationship, then I can accept." She also laughed and said perhaps because she's a mother now, so this time she gets to play a nanny role. 

Housing investment, not moving to a smaller home 

It was reported Ada had to move from a big to a smaller house because of her mother, who loves to gamble. She clarified that because her husband wanted to use the savings to invest in real estate, but encountered high housing prices and when they placed in their deposits, the offer price was countered: "How can we live in a 500 square feet house! Aside from the children debt, we have no other debts. We are one happy family. My relationship with my mother is great. If the media wants to take pictures of my mother and I, then I can't help it, but please be fair to her, I don't want to comment too much."
