'Brother Keeper' Concert in Malaysia: Ruco Chan Helpless Personal Life Gets Disturbed

Yesterday Kristal Tin, Ruco Chan and Edwin Siu held their Brother's Keeper Genting Concert in Malaysia. Louise Lee served as the special guest, and got the audience very high. Ruco Chan rose to popularity after TVB series The Other Truth, which was his first series as the leading role. Since then, his love life became the media's target. Even his on-screen mother Louise Lee praised he's a 'seun poon' and when she asked him what he's looking for in a partner, he appeared to have not wanted to talk about it. However, his 'mother' kept interrogating him until he answered. Ruco said: "I like active ones... you all (the audience) don't think you can wrong me! My partner should be able to respect my job, can have dinner at home, and watch TVB together. Haha!"

Eventually Ruco had other choice but to say that his personal life had always been the focus, especially his love life. "Every time, I responded to a rumor several times and they (the media) still enjoy writing more and more stories, its so annoying!" Then Ruco comforted himself: "This proves I'm news worthy." After the brief chat, Ruco continued his performance with his latest TV series theme song 'Just Missed A Step' (差半步) from Outbound Love. He concluded with: "Saya Cinta pada mu (I love you), don't forget my sweet talker role!" He expressed he hoped Outbound Love could get a sequel.

Edwin and Priscilla Wong had rumors after collaborating in Housewife Madam. Earlier it was reported Priscilla tried to "pursue" him even though he's already in a stabled relationship. Kristal answered on his behalf: "Edwin always has rumors with his female co-stars, except for me!" She then forced Edwin to confess his relationship with Priscilla. Edwin said: "After we finished filming the series, I rarely contact her!"Because Edwin's mother was in the audience supporting them, Edwin shouted: "Let's not talk about this in front of my mother!" Kristal then said to Edwin's mother that he's a great guy and he's always bringing good food to share with everyone on the set. Kristal expressed its her first time holding a concert in Genting and she didn't want to leave! She said she debuted 20 years ago, and finally she has the chance to fulfill her dream of releasing her very own album.

Louise Lee was a special guest, she performed a song with Ruco and Edwin. That night, she appeared in a bright red evening dress. She laughed: "Because New Year's just passed not long ago!" Before Louise performed her first song, she warned the audience: "I'm not good at singing, I hope you all will forgive me. I'm just here to stall, so my sons will have enough time to change!" Louise chose to perform two songs, both by Teresa Tang. She said: "Teresa Tang's songs are forever classics. If she's still alive, I definitely wouldn't dare to sing her songs! I really like her, so I will sing these two songs in her memory." Louise expressed there was a fan who mistaken her for another singer Fong Yee Kei, but she said: "No hard feelings because she's younger than me and sings better than me! Haha."

Kristal Tin Wins the Artists' Hearts, Linda Chung Admits Defeat 

ATV turned TVB actress Kristal Tin's acting had finally been recognized. In her latest series Brother's Keeper, her role as "Cheung Kai Ying" had been well acclaimed by the audience. Earlier, the audience voted Kristal as their "Most Liked Character" from the series, and last night at the TVB 46th Anniversary Gala, Kristal was again voted by her fellow colleagues to be the "TV Queen in the Artists' Heart". When Kristal's name was called, she burst in tears and the most touching moment was when the artists stood up to applaud for her. Asked if Kristal has more confidence in getting the actual TV Queen title next month? Kristal expressed had been nominated in the past years, but never has anyone asked her if she had confidence. This time, she got quite a bit of noise and believes her chances are higher. 

Kristal's husband Chapman To is currently busy shooting new film Naked Ambition 2 and didn't find out about his wife's victory until a friend told him. He sent his wife a message declaring his love: "Beautiful, I love you! You are the best!" Chapman expressed in an interview yesterday that he felt very happy for her: "This title was voted by the artists, then that means they know about acting. She got recognition within the industry!" Chapman frankly expressed this year he had neglected his wife: "I was shooting too many films this year, we didn't see each other much. Now that I know she got the award, I won't be able to pick her up from work even if I wanted to. I hope to take some time off after I finish shooting this film to go on vacation, spend some time alone with her!" 

The other TV Queen hot favorite, Linda Chung, competed for "TV Queen" with Kristal. Yesterday she attended the blessing ceremony of her new series The Great Pharmacist and expressed she was not disappointed at all to lose to Kristal. Linda said: "This year at the TVB anniversary, I really felt the unity. I'm already happy to be part of the top two candidates. I've been in the industry for nine years and have learned a lot. If I don't get an award, then I will have to add oil!" It was said Linda signed another eight year long contract with TVB, but still had no hope for the award? Linda denied she signed an extended contract: "I didn't extend my contract, but I did get a raise. After all, the TV Queen title is my goal and its a perfect time." 

Also, Niki Chow attended a friend's wedding banquet and expressed she felt happy for Kristal. Niki said: "I'm really happy for her because I personally really like her too. I just remembered she bought me food before and I still haven't paid her back. (Are you worried about losing the TV Queen award this year?) I'll be just as happy whoever wins. No matter who wins, it is an honor."

Last night at the Brother's Keeper finale, the audience voted for their "My Most Liked Character" and Kristal Tin was the winner for her role "Cheung Kai Ying". Kristal teared up: "I'm very happy that I got a chance to portray this role. Special thanks to the audience and the neighbors because I got a lot of encouragement out on the streets. I suddenly feel like I got so many more relatives." 

Kristal frankly expressed this role is considered her breakthrough, asked if this increased her confidence to get one of the year-end awards? She said: "I'll be happy enough if I get nominated, but since the audience will be voting for the winners, I have confidence." She was grateful for her husband Chapman To's support, even if he was busy filming, he would still watch the episodes he missed when he gets back to HK. 

Also, Tina Sek played a young school girl in Brother's Keeper. After she got raped in the car by a triad leader, she committed suicide on the street and triggered Ruco Chan's conscience to be a spy for the police. Netizens watched Tina's scenes and felt very sorry for her, but it was also a little disturbing as well. Some said Tina frequently gets roles where she gets raped, Tina responded on Weibo: "I'm sorry to frighten you! I was just following the script. Its all Ruco Chan's fault, he didn't rescue me, otherwise I wouldn't have to die!"

Ruco Chan Fails on Proposing to Linda Chung, Picks Her Up Instead 

Last night Linda Chung, Ruco Chan, Edwin Siu, Ankie Belkie, Louis Yuen and Kristal Tin attended TVB series Brother's Keeper finale dinner event. The cast watched the two episode finale with the audience. Edwin's rumored girlfriend Gigi Ho was the MC of the night, thus the two became the center of attention. As for the "love triangle" Ruco, Linda and Ankie, they were not embarrassed at all as they linked arms to take pictures. Later, the three of them were back at their seats, Linda and Ruco were seen chatting nonstop. 

Edwin joked thanking TVB for the arrangement [of the MC], he praised Gigi's beauty and talent. Asked if they're rapidly developing their relationship? Edwin appeared embarrassed as sweat came dripping down: "We're good friends. (Like family?) Hahaha!" As for Ruco's constant rumors lately, there were even rumors that he's a "brokeback"? Edwin expressed fortunately he didn't have any rumors and stressed that his career is his priority. Gigi jumped in and said focusing on career is a good thing, clearly supporting her 'boyfriend'. The two continued complimenting each other. Edwin got himself a bakery endorsement because of this series, but surprisingly Gigi mistakenly said she's also apart of this series, when she really wasn't. She said: "We had so many pasties to eat while filming this series. The only one I didn't get to try was the gingerbread. Maybe it was all sold out." Reporters asked Edwin if he had ordered wedding pastries before? He laughed: "Nobody uses gingerbread for weddings. Gingerbread is more for postpartum period, when you have a baby, I'll give some to you!" 

During the voting part of the event, Ruco knelt down and asked Linda if she would marry him, but too bad Linda rejected him. Ruco immediately got off his knees and picked Linda up, it was a very funny moment. In the series, the scene where Ruco was in jail, apparently there was an iPhone seen in his pocket. Ruco expressed its been too long, he can't remember, but disclosed he forgot to zip up his pants during filming. As for the "brokeback" rumors, Edwin stressed he only likes women. Linda disclosed lately the paparazzi had been following her too much, but fortunately the people on the streets were kind enough to tell her. Asked if her boyfriend Philip Ng had complained about it? She changed the subject: "Not bad! I can spend more time at home to study the script. Can't even go on vacation."

Linda Chung Asked to Give "Protection Fee" in Mainland 

Yesterday Linda Chung, Kristal Tin, Ruco Chan and Edwin Siu attended TVB new series Brother's Keeper promotional event. During the games, Kristal pretended to kiss Linda; Ruco and Edwin embraced pretending to be gay. When speaking of Ada Choi's "kidnap-like" incident in Xi'an, Linda thought it was very terrifying: "I will have the highest level of alertness when I'm working in Mainland. I usually have my manager with me, but I've once encountered a small mishap too, someone tried to get 'protection fee' from the crew." It was said she could get rumored boyfriend Philip Ng to teach her a few defensive moves, Linda said: "Its useless to know martial arts when you don't have the physical strength." 

Due to No. 8 Typhoon Usagi hitting Hong Kong, Linda's original schedule of shooting Tiger Cubs II promotional clip and a commercial were cancelled. She took all her safety measures and hopes the typhoon will keep viewers at home to watch Brother's Keeper premiere and bring high ratings. 

Edwin was very pleased Brother's Keeper brought him more jobs. He laughed and said he still needs several years to save up enough "wife savings". He is currently busy shooting Wong Jing's series World of Turbulence in Mainland. Wong Jing paired him and Yiu Yiu together, Edwin hoped they can be as comedic as Stephen Chow and Sandra Ng, but unfortunately they don't have any kiss scenes. Edwin's most memorable scene was when he danced with sexy girls. "It was awkward, they were swinging around, their hair were flinging here and there. It felt like a ghost went into my body, luckily I was able to withstand it." As for TVB's HK$900,000 anti-competition fine, Edwin said: "Joey Yung said it well, if we weren't asked to speak Mandarin, our Mandarin wouldn't have improved so fast."

Kent Cheng feels emotional that 'King Maker' is getting higher ratings

Yesterday Kent Cheng and the cast attended a promotional event for TVB series King Maker. It was announced last week's ratings averaged 31 points, and peaked at 34 points. There were about 2.2 million viewers that tuned in. When Kent celebrated the success, he felt emotional and greatly praised the younger artists boosted the ratings and bowed to them on behalf of producer Leung Choi Yuen.

Kent said: "I'm very happy that each and every artist put in so much effort into the series. It is not seen often in other series and the ratings are gradually going up. This time, it was a sincere collaboration. I was indeed pretty nervous because I only have one series each year. This year I will no longer shoot another one. The series started off a little slow, but last week it got pretty good." He does not dare to put his hopes up too high for the finale rating because it is not decided by the artists.

Janet Chow risks miscarriage, asks Chris Lai to carry her

Yesterday Wayne Lai, Kent Cheng, Kristal Tin, Janet Chow, Chris Lai, Elaine Yiu, Pierre Ngo and Natalie Tong appeared in their ancient costumes for the promotion of TVB new series King Maker. Lead actors Wayne and Kent put in the most effort into the promotion. Aside from arm wrestling each other, the two played tug-a-war with Kristal and Elaine. Everyone was worried about the pregnant Janet Chow, although Chris took good care of her, she saw the cast having so much fun playing and she wanted to join too, so she asked Chris to carry her. Wonder if her husband Timmy Hung will freak out when he sees that. 

Yesterday Janet's growing belly was much more visible than her last public appearance. She said: "My stomach is growing fast. Friends have told me not to eat too much. Timmy is currently out working, as his wife, I don't want him to worry. Last night, I had dinner at Charmaine Sheh's house with a large group of friends. I chatted with Annie Man about our pregnancy experiences and even went shopping online for baby products. (Does Charmaine envy you?) I don't know, but I did urge her to start dating soon, but I won't introduce any guys to her because it feels awkward." Janet reveals her expected due date is February 5, 2013. She already chose the date to get a C-section, but if she's due earlier, she will go for a natural birth. 

As the cast for King Makers is similar to The Greatness of a Hero? Wayne said: "Because there is a shortage of artists at TVB, but the story is different. This time Kent and I will have a lot of battle of wits scenes. He's the evil one, and I'm the good guy. (Film King challenges TV King?) Of course, the co-star is very important. Kent is very talented."

Ruco Chan & Jason Chan covers up private parts to avoid the girls bumping into them

Ruco Chan, Kristal Tin, Natalie Tong, Jason Chan and the rest of the cast of TVB series No Good Either Way attended the promotional event. The cast were very into playing the game, Twister. Natalie carelessly exposes herself and almost bumped her head into Jason's private, but luckily Jason quickly covered with his hands. Natalie laughed and said luckily she didn't hit anything. Ruco feared Leanne Li would step on his private, so he quickly covered up as well, he later joked: "No because I was afraid there would be some indecent reaction, no, I mean indecent actions! After all, she is 'Ah So' (Wong Cho Lam's girlfriend). It wouldn't be good if she touched me."

Ruco is very pleased with No Good Either Way's results. Friends have praised that he can actually do comedies, be a professional or take on an evil role. Kristal was happy that even Miriam Yeung is watching their series during her postpartum confinement ("sitting the month"), and praised on Weibo that this is the best entertainment during confinement. No Good Either Way is a favorite for both young and old audiences!

Natalie's body shape was looking good, when asked if she got a cup size increase? She laughed: "A little!" She frankly expressed she got fatter on all parts of her body, and gained 10 pounds. Firstly, its necessary for the series she's shooting and secondly she's taking Chinese medications to nurse her health. When asked if she's currently dating? She said: "Nope, not related to anyone."

Kristal Tin collapses from a fortunate life

Recently Kristal Tin and her husband Chapman To have turned benevolent. When with friends, the couple just cannot leave the Buddhism topic and does not seem like they been through a high-spirited or arrogant period. In fact, this all started from the peak of Chapman's career, but then he suddenly collapses. Since then, the two had a clear picture of their needs and their religion taught them to put the past behind them.

Kristal debuted at ATV, and has never thought people would recognize her on the streets. Also, her other half made up top fast and unconsciously became disoriented. She said: "We can just randomly go to London and spend a large sum of money; We can own a car for maybe a few months and if we don't like it, we'll just get a new one. One time, within just one period, we changed cars 4 times! Although we had a lot of money and could buy a lot, but practically, we didn't feel like we had anything. So, actually in the last few years, we didn't live a happy life."

Watching her husband turn into a disheartened hero, he didn't even listen to the words that came from the woman sleeping besides him every night. At one point, Kristal thought of leaving him, but that thought didn't last long. Chapman's career collapse from its peak, Kristal just couldn't bear to give up on their love at this time. She eventually resorted to prayers and seeing Rinpoche, in hope Chapman could smoothly get through this difficult period. Unexpectedly, during this time, Kristal had some gains, she said: "Buddhism allowed me to grow spiritually, [strengthen] my wisdom and increase the religious practices. So, I went on with it and continued to learn! My husband is the same, we grew together though this period. If there wasn't this time period, then I think we would have gone crazy!"
