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.

Him Law's Hilarious Disguise as a Pregnant Woman 

Francis Ng's role as "Sam Gor" in Triumph in the Skies II has his humorous side as well. In last night's episode, he and Him Law's character "Jim Jim" reenacted Holiday's (Fala Chen) mother Manna (Michelle Yim) and BJ (KK Cheung) love story. Jim Jim was disguised as the pregnant Manna, Holiday played the baby with a pacifier and encounters Sam Gor who played a married man. Jim Jim's pregnant woman look stole the limelight and his romance with Sam Gor was more comical than romantic. Holiday was quite cute as the baby. This hilarious episode had a TV rating of 31 points and peaked at 33 points.

Fala Chen a "Matchmaker" for Cool Mor and Sam Gor 

Yesterday Fala Chen attended an event with Francis Ng, and was unwilling to disclose whether her role, Holiday, chooses Sam Gor (Francis) or Cool Mor (Chilam) in the end ofTriumph in the Skies II. She said: "I looked online and saw a poll on who I should choose, but the funniest was one Netizen voted for Chilam and Francis to be a couple. Thinking about it, they are quite a match, Cool Mor could be the man and Sam Gor could be the woman." It was said many Cool Mor scenes have been deleted lately, Fala said: "Nope, its just the arrangement." 

Francis admitted he did indeed pass the helicopter pilot license in Mainland on the first try, but he cannot fly a helicopter in HK. He denied he started a business in Beijing, "my investments will be in HK." Francis expressed he filmed a cooking special, but he's unsure which channel the show's going to be airing on. He boasted he's good at cooking Chinese dishes and wants to participate in a cooking competition to challenge other good chefs.

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.
