Today, Julian Cheung (張智霖) is recording for a TV Show. When mentioned about the news of Angelica Lee's (李心潔) husband, Oxide Pang (夫彭順) having an affair, Julian replied that both of them were good friends and it was inconvenient to provide his comments.

Julian said "I feel surprised to a certain extent. As a friend, it is best to keep silent and help him. (Aaron Kwok 郭富城 said he is upset?) Keeping silent is considered helping him and I do not wish to give problem to anyone.".

Triumph in the Skies Film Stars Francis, Chilam and Louis Koo; Francis Hoped Fala Chen Joins the Cast 

Yesterday Media Asia Group's chairman Peter Lam led a group of artists and directors to participate in the HK FILMART 2014. Artists including Francis Ng, Chilam Cheung, Louis Koo, Nick Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai, Ekin Cheng, Miriam Yeung, Ivana Wong, Chrissie Chau, Janice Man and many others held a press conference to promote the new 2014 films. The big productions included Don't Go Breaking My Heart 2, Break Up 100 Times, Helios, The Source of Love and Triumph in the Skies film edition. 

The TITS film will star Francis Ng, Chilam Cheung and Louis Koo. Francis hoped the original cast could participate in the film including Fala Chen. However, the film is a joint production by Media Asia and Shaw Studios, and since Fala is no longer a TVB artist, she may not be in the film? Francis said: "When the series began filming, Fala didn't sign the contract with TVB, but they still promoted her to be the first leading actress." Francis was unsure whether the film edition will have the three lead actors fight for one girl. The film is scheduled to start shooting in June. 

Asked if they'll compete for more screen time? He joked: "You all don't have to follow us when we go out on our trips because I'll come back with news to report." Earlier Francis loses the TV King title to Dayo Wong, does Francis hope to get the Film King title instead? Francis said a bit upset: "Don't bring out the topic that TVB dislikes so and so again. They didn't want to bring it up, so why bring up unhappy events? (TVB didn't want to bring it up?) We don't want to bring it up, is that ok? (Are you unhappy?) Doesn't matter to us." 

Ekin Cheng and Chrissie Chau star in Break Up 100 Times, they had an affectionate water scene, but they expressed there was no awkwardness. Actually the cartoon underwear that the staff prepared for her ruined the romantic atmosphere, but it was also pretty funny. Ekin expressed he did not tell his wife Yoyo Mung about the scene prior to filming because Yoyo is also an actress, so she understands its only work. Chrissie felt its normal to have kiss and intimate scenes because in the film she and Ekin had been dating for 8 years.

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.

Fala Chen Seen Slapping Chilam Cheung in his new MV 

Yesterday Fala Chen attended a press conference for the launch of a new smart phone. The organizer gave Fala a new smart phone tiled with SWAROVSKI crystals as a gift. Fala treated the gift as if she got jewelry and regarded it as her first Valentine Day's gift. Fala expressed she doesn't have any special wishes for Valentine Day's nor has she received any gifts yet. Reporters teased a boyfriend should be her gift. Fala said she didn't want one because work is her current priority. She'll be spending Valentine's Day at work in Mainland, but she will first take a short two week break to visit her parents in the States and celebrate Lunar New Year with them. 

Fala has recently guest starred in Chilam Cheung's new MV You Are So Hard to Forget (你是如此難以忘記) along with Kay Tse, MeiKi Wong and Fun Lo. Fala was seen slapping Chilam after a kiss. She expressed it was all borrowing the camera angles. "Chilam suddenly pretended to kiss me, making me think of his 'Cool Mor' scum look in Triumph in the Skies II, but he still looked handsome and hot. I didn't actually slap Chilam, he was able to dodge me real fast; he was faster than my hand. There was one scene, I touched him and he already started screaming." Fala disclosed that day during filming, Chilam's wife Anita Yuen and son Morton visited the set.

The popular "Cool Mor" Chilam Cheung from Triumph in the Skies II had renewed his singing contract and is preparing for his upcoming album. He performed a cover of Eason Chan's classic Triumph in the Skies theme song, which had already went viral online. Due to the positive response, Chilam's record label decided to shoot an MV for the song as well and launch a photo book Cool Mor Diary to satisfy the fans of this "handsome pilot". 

Chilam participated in drafting, arrangement and costumes for his MV. He also put his heart into the MV's story. He joked: "Nobody knows Cool Mor better than me. Of course, I participated in writing the Diary." 

As for the MV's female lead, he invited newcomer Jessie Lee, whom had a "bed scene" with him. Chilam appeared sitting on the bed while helping Jessie button her shirt. But what everyone is most anticipating is Chilam getting wet in the shower. 

Also, Chilam's new boss Stephen Shiu Jr admitted in a radio interview earlier that he did offer Chilam 8 figures to sign the contract with him. He said: "Even if its double the amount, I wouldn't mind." Stephen Shiu Jr also admitted he is currently in discussions with TVB on a TITS movie.

Chilam Cheung & Fala Chen Are the "Audience Choice Couple"; Cast Hopes for TITS2 Sequel & Movie 

Last night, the Triumph in the Skies II had its grand finale. As expected, it was a happy ending, Fala Chen ultimately chose Sam Gor Francis Ng; Ron Ng and Myolie Wu became a couple. Last night, the cast watched the finale with the audience at a shopping mall event, but unfortunately Francis, Ron and Kenneth Ma were absent. "Cool Mor" Chilam Cheung, Myolie Wu, Fala Chen, Nancy Wu and Elena Kong attended the event in their costumes. There were over 300 at the location and nearly a thousand other residents standing on the sides. A crowd of people surrounded Chilam, and when the MC asked the audience who they wished Fala chose, Francis or Chilam? The audience cheered loudly when Chilam's name was mentioned. Chilam and Fala were the "audience choice couple". 

Chilam joked if the TV rating reaches 60 points, the whole cast will reveal their "two dots", but Fala laughed and said she only will reveal "one dot" and won't tell which dot it will be. Myolie joked Fala and Chilam should reenact their famous ancient castle sex scene. 

When Myolie and Ron's kiss and hug scene aired, the crowd created astir, making Myolie smile in a bit of embarrassment, she said: "I was absent from the previous promotions, this time I rushed back to HK to attend this event on the risk of having to lose money." She wishes for a TITS third installment or a movie, and predicts the TV rating should surpass 40 points. 

Chilam expressed the serial's theme is "pilots protects passengers", but this time the feeling is "Everyone protects Cool Mor". Chilam is wishful for a TITS third installment or a TITS movie as well, so everyone can continue their fate. "I chatted with Tommy Leung about this, the movie version probably will happen next year, but I'm not sure if its going to be the original cast." It was said TITS2 helped him pocket nearly HK$10 million, and when Francis found out, he joked he only got a few HK$10,000. Chilam said: "Don't believe Francis, he is rich. As for myself, I've always been worth a high price." Fala missed her role "Holiday" and really hoped to be part of TITS third installment or a movie, but TVB hasn't notified her or anything. She does not believe its because she doesn't have a contract with them because the two male leads aren't TVB contracted either. 

Francis Ng Did TITS2 Because of a Vegetable Lady

Francis Ng's Sam Gor had left another deep impression on the audience. Last night, he wasn't able to take part in the finale dinner with the rest of the cast and the audience because he's busy working in Mainland. During an interview in Mainland, Francis responded to Sam Gor having a thousand fan girls. He laughed: "Before shooting TITS2, I had no girl fans. Initially my wife wasn't worried because the majority of my fans had tattoos and one time on the street, one of these fans suddenly rushed over and shouted my name. I was so frightened and wondered if I should turn around to say Hi, but at the same time I feared I would get scolded at if I didn't." The 52 year old actor described he accepted TITS2 all because of an elder lady who sells vegetables at the market. The vegetable lady kept asking why he's not in any TV series and didn't have the opportunity to see his performance. Francis laughed: "Because I get a discount, so I must participate in the series!"

The night before, TVB series "Triumph in the Skies II" filmed a street scene in Lan Kwai Fong, Central.

Fala Chen will be caught between Francis Ng and Julian Cheung, entangled in a triangle relationship in the series.

The night before, it was filming Francis and Fala chatting on the street. Francis showed his energetic side by changing railing into a horizontal bar...both legs off the ground and stretching the bones and muscles. Julian arrived in a white car to pick Fala up; when the two saw each other, they affectionately hugged.

This scene was completed after an hour of filming. During filming, Francis took much initiative...saw him directing the sequence of filming, and also making suggestions to the camera crew on different filming angles. Once Francis ordered 'Can now!', everyone then accommodated to the filming...completely demonstrating the air of a big brother.

Francis Ng & Chilam Cheung at 'Triumph in the Skies II' Press Conference 

After 9 years since Triumph in the Skies, the sequel Triumph in the Skies II is finally starting. Yesterday Francis Ng, Chilam Cheung, Myolie Wu, Fala Chen, Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Rebecca Zhu, Elena Kong and the rest of the cast attended the press conference. 

Back then, there were rumors that Francis Ng was displeased with Myolie, but yesterday they chatted happily. Francis even teased that Myolie looks fatter than before. He also said to Ron: "You came early!" indirectly criticizing that he used to be late to work. Ron expressed: "Francis and I still have a brotherly relationship, but I'm no longer the young man 10 years ago, our relationship evolved into a friendship and we get along more comfortably." 

Francis hasn't been in a TVB series for many years, he smiled and said: "I'm getting a huge raise." He also denied the rumor that he was delaying TITS2 from starting. It was said TVB is relying on him to save the lack of Siu Sangs? Francis expressed: "Wah! I have a lot of Siu Sangs behind me!" He is not worried about working with newcomers, but he fears he may break his promise and come late to work. Francis exposed back when he was shooting TITS, he had a naughty idea to get out of work. Because shooting was too exhausting, he and the others played 'rock paper scissors' to see who would have to pretend to be sick, so they can get a day off from work. At the time, Myolie was still a newcomer, so she didn't participate and had to get to work early. 

Chilam sets the next 6 months aside to shoot TITS2 and has turned down several opportunities to shoot in Mainland, losing quite a bit of money. He frankly expressed he accepted this series to return a favor, because back then, executive Tommy Leung, casted him in Cold Blood Warm Heart and got him a lot more job opportunities. This time, he's playing a senior pilot and plans to use clothing from his own personal wardrobe, which is worth about 6 figures. When asked if he's paying TVB, instead of TVB paying him? Chilam laughed: "Because of Tommy, doing it for the audience, no choice, I'm just too good friends with Tommy." 

Myolie plays two roles in the series. She exposed Zoe will only appear in the first two episodes and then she dies. Her other role is a tomboy, who works in aircraft maintenance. The producer asked her to cut her hair short for the role, but Myolie is reluctant to give up her current haircut, but for the sake of work, she will accept it. 

In the series Fala gets into a love triangle with Francis and Chilam, but she doesn't know who she'll end up with yet. Fala said her development with Francis starts off as a bickering pair, while Chilam is the charming pilot who has a romantic storyline with her. She's unsure if there are any kiss scenes, she laughed: "Perhaps when we get to France, in the romantic atmosphere, we'll go for a light kiss. I'm not too worried since there's a television scale." 

Kenneth Ma develops a 'sister-brother love' with Elena Kong. He expressed in reality he does not mind this type of relationship, women does not necessarily need men to take care of her, it could be vice versa. He also said he can accept a girlfriend 20 years older than him too, but he never been in such a relationship before. 

TITS2's blessing ceremony is scheduled to take place on July 24th and filming officially starts on July 26th. Filming will go on for 6 months, and filming locations will be in London, Paris, Hainan and Taiwan.

Chilam Cheung to introduce his rich single friends to Annie Liu 

Yesterday Annie Liu, Chilam Cheung, Mandy Wong, Oscar Leung and the rest of the cast to new film Natural Born Lovers (天生愛情狂) took part in the blessing ceremony. Chilam and Annie collaborated in an MV several years ago. Chilam said Annie is the best lover in the hearts of many men, including his friends. His friends have asked if they could visit the set. When Chilam learned Annie is an extreme 'house girl' and still doesn't have a boyfriend, he did not believe her: "This is one of the 100 things that I can't imagine. My friends are all rich single men, I will have to introduce the entire entertainment circle's best guys to Annie." 

Chilam asked Annie what her requirements are when choosing a boyfriend, knows how to drink and can sing? Annie said: "I am very bad at singing, also I don't like nightlife." The other day, Annie expressed at a fashion event: "My father said if no one gives me flowers on Valentine's Day, then he'll do it for me." 

In L'Escargot, 'Kwan Yee So' Mandy Wong is blessed with the opportunity to participate in this film as well. She and her L'Escargot husband Oscar Leung will be a couple once again. She said: "Since L'Escargot, I have indeed received more jobs."
