Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) returned to Hong Kong to promote the new series, The Ultimate Addiction (點金勝手).

We hope the finale for this series will have another 100 Million which is considered good results. Hope that the producer will arrange the casts to promote this series and a vacation in Mainland China as well.". Afterwards, Bosco avoided talking about his relationship with Vanessa Yeung (楊崢) and expressed that he was very busy lately and left thereafter.

In the past, Kate Tsui (徐子珊) had acted many policewoman roles and in the new series, The Ultimate Addiction (點金勝手), she is acting as cop again who wants to uncover the murderer behind her father's death, and tries to get close to Bosco Wong. In order to prevent repeated images, Kate spent some efforts on creating new image for this role, and added some daily activity scenes as well.

When mentioned about pretending to be a lesbian, kissed Nancy Wu (胡定欣) and Toby Leung (梁靖琪), Kate laughed and said that it could not be compare to the naked scene. She said: "I have to give all out in order to gain Nancy's trust and do not use any stand-in at all. The script does not contain much and is supposed to reveal shoulder initially. But after discussion with the director before filming of the scenes two days ago, he wanted me to reveal my back and I am shocked, as I do not film such scenes before.". Kate added that she did not keep her body fit due to lack of time and said: "I can only apply sand on my back and not sure how to cover it, as needs to see my shoulder and tummy. Nancy tries not to laugh when the camera is rolling but it is hard to control.".

As the crew team were male staff, Kate had to seek help from the costume department and said: "It is easy to remove the top and the difficulty is squatting down to retrieve the top and it is more challenging than the kiss scenes.".

Kate Tsui reveals she was force kissed by Nancy Wu

TVB new drama "The Ultimate Addiction", with main leads Bosco Wong, Kate Tsui, Nancy Wu, Ben Wong and Toby Leung, will be airing next Monday. Yesterday, the cast gathered at a seaview restaurant to promote the drama. TVB even spent a heavy 6 figure amount to connect live at the event with the main lead, Bosco, who was filming at Hengdian in Mainland. The artists who were at the venue made fun of Bosco, how was on the big screen, making it a very funny moment. 

Kate laughed saying yesterday was the largest promotional event in history; broadcasting live in two places seems like something that would only happen at anniversary events; therefore she is very happy to be able to participate in such a heavily invested drama. She also revealed that TVB will also produce souvenirs to gift to the audience. Kate expressed that it's been a while (since she's been in a big production), so she feels it's very rare opportunity. Will she have pressure for ratings because of this? She replied: "We'll try our best! We still have a lot of promotional jobs. We will be going to the Shanghai TV Festival in the beginning of June, and will also promote the insert song she will sing for the drama. It's been a while since I sang, but there is no plans for releasing an album yet." Kate also laughed saying Bosco is very busy making RMB in Mainland, so she hopes he can return to Hong Kong as soon as possible to promote together and attend the TV Festival. Asked if Kate has any intimate scenes with Bosco in the drama? She stated that they do not, but she does with Nancy, so she feels she made a breakthrough. She explained the scene happens because Nancy suspected that she was a lesbian; therefore there is a kissing scene: "It's pretty intense, challenging the boundaries of TV. It was a little awkward, but it was more awkward for Nancy because she was the one taking initiative, and it was also very quiet on set!" 

Nancy laughed stating that kissing Kate was even more nervewracking than kissing Bosco, who plays her husband in the drama, because she has never force kissed someone else. She even had to push Kate against the wall. Because she was afraid of hurting Kate, they NG-ed two times. She expressed that she and her good female friends will often give each other small pecks: "But actually force kissing someone and being force kissed by someone is not a good experience, because it is only one-sided, not mutual!" Nancy, who also has quite a few kissing scenes with Bosco, continued saying that this time is one of the more intimate experiences in her whole career. Asked if Kate or Bosco is better to kiss? She laughed saying the two are different; with Bosco, they are very normal husband-wife kissing scenes, but force kissing Kate felt more intense! 

Toby is training for abs to become a fighter

Toby appeared with a sexy, black, transparent outfit, revealing her bra and showing her long legs. She stated that she is now working hard on getting abs for her fighter character in her new drama in August: "Want to train for abs; I'm also doing boxing and Table Dance now, hope to be more strong and fit because I hurt a ligament when filming for "The Ultimate Addiction"." She also laughed saying she (her look) is sexy in a healthy way, just a bit exaggerated in the past. She even admitted that her bust size has shrunk!

Dayo Wong Risks His Life Riding with Kate Tsui to Boost TV Ratings 

Yesterday Dayo Wong, Kate Tsui, Sharon Chan, Jazz Lam, Toby Leung, Siu Bo and the rest of TVB new series Bounty Lady attended the promotional event. Dayo performed the theme song during the promotion and joked: "Everyone knows you must pay to listen to me sing! Everybody $100, but its me who pays you!" When Dayo carried Kate, it appeared there was some exposure, which frightened Kate so much she quickly covered herself. When speaking of tomorrow's series premiere? Dayo expressed he feels excited: "So that's why I came dressed in a Sashimi chef's uniform in hope to bring the series fresh out of the oven to everyone! If there are good ratings, I will wear this uniform for a whole month. (Weren't you going to kneel all the way home?) I'll wear this uniform and kneel inside Kate Tsui's mini van, so she can take me home. She's a pretty dangerous driver!" Kate expressed he's "killing her". She said: "He has to risk his life to ride with me." 

Earlier Kate expressed if the ratings reaches 40 points, then Dayo Wong will kneel home. Asked whether Dayo has confidence the ratings will actually hit 40 points? He asked reporters what the usual ratings are on average nowadays? When he learned the average ratings are in the 20s-30 points, he joked: "I don't have much confidence, but definitely have confidence to maintain the current ratings. (TVB is depending on you to rescue their ratings, the audience also have confidence in you!) Right, you mean rely on pushing the ball to me. Actually I don't have much to depend on. Its safer to depend on Kate Tsui!" However, Dayo expressed the premiere episode definitely won't be disappointing. As for Kate, she expressed she will regard the ratings positively. "Up until now, the feedback we got from the promotional clips have been pretty good. I hope Dayo can really kneel home!" 

There were body pillows with the cast photos printed on them at the event. Kate was asked whether she fears fans may have other fantasies on her body pillow? She said: "Its frightening. I'm really scared there might be an emerge of some 1:1 (prostitute) products. I can't imagine it!" Dayo wanted to take Kate's body pillow home, "I want to put it on my balcony, so when the magazine reporters come to take pictures, I'll lift it up! (Creates rumors to promote the series?) Nope, I pursued Kate for two months and failed. I don't dare to think about it anymore."

"Lesbian" Kate Tsui Fights for Nancy Wu with Bosco Wong 

Yesterday Bosco Wong, Kate Tsui, Nancy Wu, Sharon Chan, Elena Kong and Ben Wong attended TVB new series Midas blessing ceremony. The characters in this series will be entangled in a complicated relationship, Kate pursues Bosco's wife Nancy Wu and Bosco is going to have several girlfriends. Nancy disclosed the latest script revealed she'll have a passionate kiss scene with her ex-boyfriend Pal Sinn from the series. 

Bosco said: "I heard from the scriptwriter, Kate's role pretends to be a TBG (lesbian) only because she wanted to take revenge on me. She may end up murdering me too. (Kate said you have many girlfriends?) Because I'm a 30+ financial expert in the series, I have a home, car, reputation and money. (You are the same in real life?) Thank you for giving me face! Although I have many girlfriends in this series, there won't be any kiss scenes. It will just be explained through the dialogue, I'm not as lucky as Chilam Cheung." 

Because Kate still has the flu, she has not filmed the kiss scene with Nancy Wu yet. She said: "I think I have to kiss Toby Leung too. Since I'm not sure if these scenes could be broadcast, I am still considering. (Can you accept kissing a girl?) Never experienced it before. I had some contact when playing around with my friends. The plot is about me and Bosco fighting for Nancy. The relationships are just complicated, but something new." 

Yesterday it was Nancy's 32nd birthday. She disclosed she'll be celebrating with her boyfriend and friends. As for having a kiss scene with Kate in the new series, Nancy said: "Actually, my current most fear is the passionate kiss with Pal Gor (Pal Sinn) because I call him 'Dad' in real life. For me to do this, I will have to get myself drunk. I'm more nervous about this kiss then the one with Kate. I just can't believe one mountain is higher than the previous mountain!"

Kate Tsui a Madam with High Heels, Didn't Want to Look Like a Hobbit 

Kate Tsui attended SaSa's new store opening ceremony in a low-cut dress. In Kate's new series Sniper Standoff, she recalled personally taking on the dangerous action scenes and unfortunately got injured. "In one scene, I had to be on wires, I accidentally injured my thighs and had bruises all over my two legs. At the time I took pictures for memories. Proves how hard working I am." Kate denied having intentions to establish a 'fighter girl' image, she just tries her best in her roles. 

It was said the Madam she portrays in the series often wears high heels. Kate explained: "I am short, so I have to wear high heels to make myself look taller, otherwise I would look like a hobbit standing next to my co-stars." Sniper Standoff replaced Triumph in the Skies II, the TV ratings clearly dropped, but Kate felt there is buffer time needed when a new series premieres. She will try her best to promote and hopes everyone won't put too much pressure on them.

Michael Tse's Films Another TVB Series on One Condition: Want to Kiss Kate Tsui 

Yesterday Michael Tse, Kate Tsui, Eddie Cheung, Kathy Chow  Alice Chan and Eliza Sam attended the promotional event of TVB new series Sniper Standoff. This is Michael's last TVB series before his contract expires. Asked of his future plans? He expressed he wants to concentrate on preparing for the Life of Friends Concert (歲月友情演唱會) held in November and everything else, he'll disclose in 2014. After reporters pursued the question, Michael finally blurted out he opened his own work studio called "Laughing Workshop" and may sign a management contract again. He also welcomes his friends to invest in his workshop. Asked if he'll ask Ekin Cheng, Chin Ka Lok and Jordan Chan to invest? Michael said: "They have their own companies." When asked about returning to TVB, Michael joked: "The condition is I have to work with Kate Tsui and having kiss scenes would be the best. I will be signing a per-series contract with TVB soon." 

Eddie laughed and said there are too many big boys in the series, so he didn't have to show his muscles. "I'm the steel bar type, sturdy and no belly fat." Eddie revealed there are many car chase scenes in the series that he personally did himself. TVB brought heavy insurance for him and he had one accident where broken glass flew on his ear. When speaking of his TV rating expectations, Eddie said as long as the ratings surpass 30 points. "I hope to continue Triumph in the Skies II's upward trend!" Kathy also believed there won't be a problem in the ratings; she and Eddie have a relationship in the series. 

Yesterday after the event, Kathy flew straight back to Beijing and temporarily won't have any more collaborations with TVB. She is currently concentrating on filming in Mainland and endorsements. This is DJ Andre Yue's first series, he played Kathy's ex-boyfriend in the series. He frankly expressed he was a little frightened when he saw the script. "My first scene was a kiss scene with my goddess Kathy. I was trembling in fear, but then I regret that we ultimately didn't have that scene. We still had strolling at the beach and proposal scenes though."

Kate Tsui & Sharon Chan On Bad Terms Surfaces 

Kate Tsui and Sharon Chan have been long time "old enemies" since The Beauty of the Game when they were rumored on bad terms. Yesterday the two attended the costume fitting of TVB new series Midas with the other cast including Bosco Wong, Nancy Wu, Ben Wong, Toby Leung and Fred Cheng. At last, this time Kate had good friends Bosco and Nancy by her side and won't be forced to "produce scenes" opposite of Sharon as in their previous series My Prime Lady, thus at the costume fitting, Kate and Sharon had zero interaction. Even when Sharon was introducing her character, Kate acted like she wasn't there as she continued to chat with Bosco and Nancy on the side. During the big group picture, Toby Leung was initially in between the ladies, but then she moved away. The two were forced to pretend and be friends, but quickly separated right after the picture! 

Reporters later contacted Sharon to comment on the "zero interaction", she denied and said she had no comment. Kate tried to shift the attention to Bosco's rumors, she said: "I think Bosco has so many rumors, its nonstop! Its like a cramped subdivided flat. (But you've been at the door!) I was just a passerbyer. This time, I hope to create new sparks with him, but I'm determined to end the rumors! Actually, he is younger than me, I don't like young kids!" Bosco laughed off the "subdivided flat" analogy and said Kate is like luxury best selling home. 

Meanwhile, the other rumored pair Bosco and Nancy played along and didn't seem to have been affected by their bad terms rumor. When Nancy introduced her role as Bosco's wife, she took initiative to link her arm with Bosco's and said he was her husband. Nancy expressed in her interview: "Bosco is very relaxed collaborating with me because he doesn't have to worry about spreading rumors. (Your boyfriend careless about Bosco?) I'm not necessarily within Bosco's options either! Perhaps I'll tell him to behave and just concentrate on work! (You guys didn't have rumors before?) He had one with Eliza Sam. We just had on bad terms rumor! But, that is still better than relationship related rumors." 

When speaking of Kate portraying a lesbian in this series and that she'll have an ambiguous relationship with Nancy, she immediately sweet talked and praised Kate. She joked: "We may have a kiss scene, Kate is known to have tender lips. I can try out her little cushion, but it's not confirmed yet. After all, this topic is still on the sensitive side. Perhaps our line will just be implied."

Charmaine Sheh Return to TVB, TV Queens Myolie & Tavia Steps Aside 

TVB and TVBC (Shanghai Media Group) had a joint "TVB Clan Television Series Press Conference" at the 2013 China International Film & TV Programs Exhibition held in Beijing. TVB's Assistant General Manager Peter Au and other executives led 20+ artistes including many Siu Sang and FaDans -- Charmaine Sheh, Myolie Wu, Tavia Yeung, Wayne Lai, Moses Chan, Bosco Wong, Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Ruco Chan and other artists like Eddie Cheung, Him Law, Kathy Chow and Eliza Sam to promote 17 of TVB's new and upcoming series such as The Hippocratic Crush II, Triumph in the Skies II, Will Power, Mr. & Mrs. Bean, No Reserve, M Club and My Prime Lady. 

It was widely rumored that Charmaine signed a 50 million RMB TVBC contract, making her part of the family again. Charmaine expressed: "The media exaggerated the dollar amount. I've been on break for 6 months, and now that I'm signing another contract, I don't want it to be a long one. TVB agreed to sign a 2 year contract with me, TVBC invests in Mainland productions as well, so I believe its better for my future development to be in both Mainland and HK. I will be shooting a TVB series in January." 

During the big group picture, it was clear Charmaine still possessed the "TVB First Sister" title as she stood in the middle with Wayne Lai, even TV Queens Myolie and Tavia had to step aside. Last year hot favorite TV Queen candidate Kate Tsui stood in the second row, but she was fortunate to have her sexy low-cut dress to help her win the limelight back. 

Former couple Myolie and Bosco had zero interaction, even if Myolie walked passed Bosco, he did not react at all. Asked if Bosco will date someone in the industry again? He said just leave it to fate. Reporters said he appeared awkward seeing Myolie again? He denied: "I occasionally show my concern to her and read some of her news online. I still keep in touch with her in private as well." Kate was asked since she frequently collaborates with Bosco, does she hope to be the new on-screen couple with him? Kate said: "Just a coincidence! But, we have collaborated in 5 series already. Bosco and I are impossible, he's like a sister to me."

Kate Tsui Not Wasting Time, Find Mr. Right and Go Right into Marriage 

Yesterday Kate Tsui, Sammy Sum and William Chak attended the promotional event of TVB Pearl drama Elementary. Kate appeared to have slimmed down, she disclosed she is preparing to shoot a fashion commercial, thus she has to eat less and exercise more to lose weight. She has already lost several pounds. 

Asked if her weight loss might shrink her cup size? She laughed: "I never really had much anyway. Its more like my wallet is shrinking because the weight loss machine cost money too. This is my fourth year collaborating with the slimming company, and I get a raise each time we collaborate. I'm very pleased." In the past year, Kate has been so busy, its impossible to ever finish working. She disclosed she will be heading to Taiwan to shoot a new film, then flying over to Singapore for promotions, then to Genting for a concert and finally to Beijing for the film festival. 

Since she's earning so much now, does she intend to buy another home? She said: "What do you mean another? I'm currently living with my mother, but I promised her I'll be a homeowner this year and have my parents live comfortably after retirement. The housing prices are just too high, I will have to wait until the prices fall a little first before I'm capable of buy one." 

Asked whether she plans to buy a mansion? She said: "No, but my mom has her own expectations on a home. Well I do want her to live comfortably too. (Does she have high expectations on your choice of boyfriend too?) She has rushed me, she said its urgent, but I don't want to be impulsive. She told me not to waste any more time, I must choose a right one and date the guy only if he is a marriagable partner. Even my friends are trying to introduce me to guys now, but I don't want to be impulsive."
