Ben Wong Fears Kiss Scenes the Most; Joey Meng Doesn't Mind Filling the Third Shoe 

Ben Wong has kiss scenes with both Joey Meng and Nancy Wu in TVB series Gilded Chopsticks, but Ben didn't seem to enjoy it. He said: "I've been acting for so long and I fear kiss and bed scenes the most. I just feel its so awkward. In the series, I have kiss scenes with Joey and Nancy. When we were filming, the kiss scenes came one after the other, it just felt so awkward. Luckily, we are all professionals and the filming went smoothly." 

In the series, Ben and Joey's relationship was love at first sight. The simple and innocent feeling made Ben think back to his first love. He laughed: "In the past year, I haven't done much romantic scenes, this time my relationship with Joey is very simple and innocent. When we started filming, it triggered memories of my first love and the feeling of dating." Ben disclosed a small blooper during filming, he said: "There was one kiss scene, we were kissing so much my mustache fell off and I didn't even notice. We continued filming other scenes and didn't notice until the next day. I really felt sorry that we had to spend another 3-4 hours redoing some scenes. It was very fortunate we didn't have to redo the kiss scene." 

As for Joey, she has a relationship with Ben and Louis Cheung in the series. Joey praised Ben as a considerate person, while Louis is humorous. Gilded Chopsticks went through many changes in cast, it was said Joey 'filled the third shoe' as her role was first given to Fala Chen in the Sales Presentation, then Linda Chung was considered before the role landed in her hands. However, Joey did not mind what the public says: "There are always changes in this industry. Different people, different outcomes and sparks. Since I'm portraying this role, I am only concerned on how I could do my best! I don't care about all the rumors." In Gilded Chopsticks, Joey collaborates with her costars from Inbound Troubles Wong Cho Lam, Louis and Bob Lam. She said: "Of course I hope the ratings will be as good as last time, but I won't give myself pressure. Actually the crew isn't entirely the same, it is my first time collaborating with Ben. He looks pretty strict and serious, but in fact he's a lot of fun and attentive. In Hengdian, he went out to buy me so much food to eat, how could I eat all of it myself?" 

Joey disclosed she had a lot of action scenes in the series, so she had to put herself on a diet and practice her martial arts. She said: "Luckily I participated in gymnastic and trampoline courses in High School, so I quickly got a hang of it. However, it still took a toll in me physically. One scene, Louis and I had to show off our Kung Fu in front of the children, but I made so many mistakes, the children were laughing at me and I almost hit someone in the face. (No fear of being disfigured?) You have to trust your partner, if not then you're in more trouble."

'A Change of Heart' Peaked 32 PTS, Niki Chow & Bosco Wong Breaks Bikini Promise 

Yesterday Bosco Wong, Niki Chow, Joey Meng (Mun Mun) and Benjamin Yuen attended TVB series A Change of Heart promotional event. It was announced this week's average rating so far is 30 points, peaking at 32 points. The peak rating occurred at the scene where Niki slaps Bosco. Earlier Bosco and Niki promised they would wear a swim brief and bikini if the ratings reaches 32 points, but yesterday the didn't fulfill their promise. All Bosco did was take off his black jacket, revealed his black tank top underneath and put the bikini top over; Niki took off her gray jacket and appeared in a deep V low-cut black dress, she had the bottom piece of the bikini and placed it over herself. Benjamin Yuen also joined them, having a flower-designed bikini top over. 

Bosco explained he just learned that afternoon about the promotional event: "It's just too rushed I didn't have time to prepare. I promised to wear one, then I will, but I have to lose some of the fat first. Next time at the celebration dinner, I wear it, it doesn't matter for guys." 

Niki complained, "Why is it only me and Bosco wearing it? I said if the ratings reach 35 points I would wear a one-piece swimsuit. I never said I would wear a bikini for 30 points." Asked whether if she will agree to wear a bikini if there is a celebration dinner for 35 points rating? Niki said: "35 points, I'll wear it with Mun Mun then!" Mun Mun replied: "Sure, I'm going on vacation anyways, I can put up swimsuit photos for people to look at. (A bikini?) Of course, I have never had a one-piece swimsuit." Niki added she may not be in HK when the time comes, but will upload her two-piece swimsuit picture.

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 Has No Feelings For Tomboy Kate Tsui 

Yesterday Bosco Wong, Niki Chow, Joey Meng, Michael Miu, Mandy Wong and Vincent Wong attended the blessing ceremony for TVB new series A Good Heart Goes Haywire. It was reported Bosco and Kate Tsui were holding hands and secretly got together. He said: "It's just gossips and rumors. Just treat it as promotions for our upcoming Lunar New Year film. It's normal for me to lend a helping hand." As Kate appeared to have had tears form as she spoke of the rumor and believed the report has damaged her reputation? Bosco urged the media not to report nonsense, but this has not affected their friendship and there is no awkwardness when they meet. The magazines described Kate as a 'Slut Goddess', Bosco said: "How so? Although she looks very feminine, inside she is very much a tomboy. I see her as a boy and have no feelings for her." 

Niki hasn't gossiped about the rumors, but she does think there are these rumors because the anniversary awards is approaching. She is also not worried about starting rumors with Bosco. She said: "I know he's not a playboy." Niki expressed she and Bosco are a couple in the series, so they have to get into character. When asked if she's afraid history might repeat, and she won't be able to pull out of the character, just like what happened with her and Kevin Cheng before? Niki embarrassingly said: "The past is the past, no need to mention it again."

Niki Chow helpless, denies fighting with Christine Kuo for Kevin Cheng 

Yesterday Niki Chow, Michael Miu, Joey Meng, Mandy Wong and Vincent Wong attended the costume fitting of new series A Good Heart Goes Haywire. Bosco Wong is also part of the cast, but he was absent from the event. Niki reveals she'll be romantically involved with Bosco, Michael and Vincent. She joked perhaps the producer can see her love life been too dry, so he gave her more guys. When speaking of her in reality, it was rumored she's fighting with Christine Kuo for Kevin Cheng. Niki expressed she's currently focused on her career and declined to comment: "Ask the persons involved. (You are the person involved!) I still don't have any comments, concentrated on my work and I can't even keep up with all those rumors." When asked if she knows about Christine and Kevin's relationship? She said: "I'm not sure, actually I don't know why your asking me. (What is your impression on Christine?) I don't know her, we never collaborated before, but of course I do know who she is. I think we're all just focused on work, these things, like our love lives, I know everyone wants to know...but I really don't have anything to say. (Will there be awkwardness when you two meet?) I don't think so, this industry is small, I'm sure we'll have a chance to meet and collaborate, it doesn't really matter." Niki denied she had secret meetings with Kevin while they were working in Mainland and she refused to comment on whether if she thinks Christine and Kevin matches. She said helplessly: "There is always so many speculations. Perhaps everyone knows I'm single and no one else has appeared yet, so there are news like this. I cannot control it, so it's best not to care about it! (Maybe because everyone really wants to see you two reconcile?) Well.... I don't know what to say! Of course, I hope the media focuses more on our work, relationships...aiya.. I don't have anything else to say. (Have you kept in touch with Kevin?) Aiya...we're colleagues. (Are there any chances between you two?) Ahh..I don't know, I don't know how to answer. (Already good friends, any chance to develop further?) I really don't know, collaborating in series yes, but in personal life, I really don't know, let the Heaven decide." 

Ex-rumored couple JJ Jia and Sammy Shum appeared together at the costume fitting yesterday. At first, despite standing besides one another, they still had zero interaction, but they later took pictures and accepted an interview together. They both expressed they are not embarrassed to work together. When asked if they may get back together in this series? Sammy said he had always been good friends with JJ, but his career is his current priority.

First time collaborating with Michael Miu, Joey Meng looks forward to work with him. When asked what type of impression Joey has on Michael? She said: "I've been watching his TV shows since I was young... oh no, I mean I was already pretty old. (Michael said it's fine, everyone says that.) In high school, my mom always scolded me for watching too much of Michael on TV and didn't do my homework." Joey gets to play Michael's wife on her first collaboration with her. She expressed she's been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. When asked if they have to report to their other half? Michael said it's not necessary, they are all professional artists. Asked if there are any kiss scenes? Michael said: "Any kiss scenes? Still in the making..."
