Kenneth Ma Attacked by a Crowd of Student Fans, Seize Opportunity to Get Votes 

Yesterday Kenneth Ma, Eliza Sam, Him Law, Mandy Wong, Tracy Chu and Crystal Li attended the promotional event for TVB series The Hippocratic Crush II held at a middle school. The cast had a soccer match against the students, each time had five team members. The game ended in a tie, 3 to 3. Aside from playing soccer, the cast also had a chance to pull in more votes before the TVB Anniversary Awards. The majority of the students wanted to get close interaction with the cast, which caused a huge chaos. Kenneth and Him were the most popular ones, many students surrounded them to get autographs and a picture with their idol. Kenneth was pushed into the goal by the crowd, while Him smiled and escaped. 

When Kenneth appeared at the soccer court, many students shouted and screamed: "So handsome!" Kenneth joked: "They are all nearsighted! This time, I'm taking the opportunity to pull in more votes. I asked them to go home and tell their family to vote for me. (How much confidence do you have to become TV King this year?) Never been stressed about it. I hope I could ride on On Call2's finale to get more votes because On Call2's finale airs on the night before the awards ceremony." 

Is Chilam Cheung his biggest opponent? Kenneth said: "That's why I have to do more promotions. I haven't given up. (How?) I can't think of anything, wouldn't make sense for me to strip and run around to get more votes right? Or should I wear a ribbon around me? The most practical is to promote my series." As for the complaints that he and Tavia Yeung don't have enough scenes in the series? Kenneth said: "There will be more later. Everyone's screen time is pretty equal. There are a lot more characters and storyline in this season; there's 30 episodes, but Tavia and I will have a happy ending. I hope the serial's ratings will be as good as the TVB Anniversary Gala." 

Eliza Sam is nominated for both "Best Supporting Actress" and "Most Improved Actress". Heung Heung laughed and said its a hug encouragement, but she's not qualified to compete for Best Supporting Actress yet. The nomination to her is already a winner. She supports Law Lan, Elena Kong and Mary Hon for the award.

Kenneth Ma Swears He Won't Have the Stunned Expression Again at TVB Awards

Yesterday Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung, Him Law, Mandy Wong and the rest of The Hippocratic Crush II cast took part in the bus touring promotional event in Tsim Sha Tsui. This is the first TVB event since the company implemented a complete 'shut out' on [Next Media] and to ensure there were no [Next Media] reporters around, TVB politely asked all reporters to show identification. 

Earlier at the TVB Anniversary Gala show, Kenneth Ma had a stunned expression when he was named "TV King in the Artists' Hearts". Netizens screen captured his expression and compared him to a Koala with a leaf hanging from its mouth. Kenneth said: "They're just joking, but I really didn't know what to say when I got the award. It was unexpected. I swear my stunned expression won't appear again at the actual TVB Anniversary Awards show. (Prepare an acceptance speech?) Not necessary, just speak the truth." As for the complaints that Kenneth doesn't have enough screen time in On Call 2? Kenneth said: "There will be more scenes later, I hope everyone keeps on liking Yat Kin Tau and Yue Jai." 

Tavia Yeung was absent from the TVB Anniversary Gala, she explained it was because she had the flu. When she learned Kristal Tin and Linda Chung were the top two favorites for TV Queen, she felt happy for them. Tavia said: "I support Linda, and Kristal indeed had a great performance, so it's normal that they were the top two. Its a healthy competition. I am not too anxious about it." As for the [Next Media] shut out, Tavia expressed she respects her company decision, but she will continuing working as usual and maintain a good relationship with the media. 

It's Normal to Have Desire for Marriage 

The night before, Tavia and Him attended Meini Cheung's wedding and were 'put on the table'. Tavia ended up getting the bride's flower bouquet and Him was dragged on stage to take pictures with them. Tavia said: "Every girl is desperate to get married when they reach a certain age and hopes to catch the flower bouquet, but just don't have the courage to admit it. It's normal. What's most important is finding the right person and time. (Consensus with Him?) I have consensus with my mother. Marriage is not just unilateral, when my mom says its ok for me to marry, then I will marry." 

As for Him getting 'put on the table' at the wedding, Him expressed he's helpless: "Just to entertain the guest, it was fun. (Tavia made it clear she wanted to get the flower bouquet!) It's just part of the ceremony, just passing on the happiness. (She's desperate for marriage?) She said anyone isn't married wants to be. (Pressured you to propose to her?) Wah, no my pressure just comes from work! You all are taking it too far." When asked if he's going down the 'mother-in-law policy'? He said embarrassed: "You mean the future? A man and woman getting married, it's normal to meet the parents."

Tavia Yeung Defends Him Law From Getting Punished to do Push Ups 

Yesterday Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung, Him Law, Mandy Wong, Benjamin Yuen and Tracy Chu attended the promotional event for TVB new series The Hippocratic Crush II that premieres on Monday. To promote for the series, Tavia came out on stage holding Kenneth's hand and called him her husband; The cast tested their physical health by doing sit-ups, push-ups, jump roping and the hula hoop; Rumored couple Tavia and Him appeared embarrassed. 

Him and Kenneth cheated on their push-ups, they did one push up and called it three. Him joked: "I'm God-level, I don't have to move!" As a result, producer Poon Ka Tak punished him, making him do push- ups with one hand and Tavia was the judge, but Tavia defended her 'boyfriend': "I'm the judge? Dead meat! No need, next!" Kenneth gave Him a hand while he did his one-handed pushups. 

When Tavia took pictures with her fans, Him didn't dare to join them. He said: "I'm afraid fans won't like it. (Embarrassed?) I'm a big guy, I'm afraid I'll cover her fans." Tavia and Him accepted an interview together, Tavia kept sweating and fanning herself, but Him didn't help wipe away her sweat. Asked why he didn't help her? Him said: "Tavia's very independent and smart. (Just now she was defending you, so you didn't have to do the push ups?) She just wanted to finish up that part of it, not related to attending to me." Tavia explained she's sweating because of her outfit: "If the AC was up higher, then I would have told Him to do more pushups" Because of work, Tavia and Him won't be able to watch the premiere together. 

Kenneth Ma Happy to Compete for TV King with Seniors 

Kenneth just rushed back to the promotion from Shanghai. He expressed he's still shooting the film Impetuous Love In Action, where he portrays a lawyer who actually doesn't get any girls. He said: "The girls are all for the male lead, I'm just accompanying him on pursuing the girls. I don't have any romantic storyline. (Unhappy?) I'm happy to see the money. (Hope to earn more in Mainland?) I think one film/series per year plus a few more endorsements would be enough for me since my home is in Hong Kong. " As for TV King this year, Kenneth is considered one of the hot favorites, but he said: "Dayo Wong has Bounty Lady airing soon, but the most important is the audience enjoys watching and there's good feedback." It was rumored the TV King battle is between him and Chilam? Kenneth said: "There are so many others, such as Dayo and Chilam. I'm happy just having the opportunity to compete with the seniors. I also have confidence."

Bosco Wong & Tavia Yeung Crowned StarHub's TVB TV King & Queen 

Last night a group of TVB artists flew to Singapore to attend the StarHub TVB Awards 2013. The attending artists included Bosco Wong, Tavia Yeung, Raymond Lam, Kate Tsui, Linda Chung, Kenneth Ma, Myolie Wu, Niki Chow, Jason Chan, Christine Kuo, Mandy Wong, Him Law, Ruco Chan, Grace Wong, Michelle Yim, Michael Miu and his wife Jamie Chik, Corinna Chamberlain, King Kong and Elaine Yiu. All attending artists got an award, making it a happy night for everyone. Bosco and Tavia were crowned StarHub's TV King and Queen and Triumph in the Skies II was the Best Series. 

The most frightening of the night was when Christine Kuo appeared on the green carpet with Jason Chan. Christine seems to have put on a lot of weight, she had a double chin and had a very chubby figure. She looked like she's pregnant. 

Kate Tsui was presented with two awards, the "My Favorite Character" and "Most Dazzling Female Artist" awards. She expressed: "I'm very happy, I get to take home awards and have a reunion with my fellow colleagues. (Do you have more confidence for the year-end TVB awards?) I have confidence in myself, but also have to rely on the right timing and place. I will keep working hard." 

Going back to a few nights ago, former couple Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong appeared at the airport on the same day to depart to Singapore, but the two avoided to be on the same flight. Myolie denied that she feared to be on the same flight as Bosco, she explained because of her work schedule, she had to leave a little later.

"Tiger Cubs 2" Big Explosion Scared Residents, Called The Police 

Yesterday Joe Ma, Linda Chung, Him Law, Nancy Wu and Mandy Wong were shooting a big explosion scene for TVB new series Tiger Cubs II. The crew chose to shoot the scenes near a large government stadium in Causeway Bay. The scenes started out with Linda opening fire at Timmy Hung, then Nancy drives a car into an office building and threw a grenade. The SDU heard the loud bang and rushed to the scene. 

Before the cameras rolled, the cast were relaxed and chatted happily, but once the staff shouted to clear the location, they ran over to their positions for this big scene. Linda, Nancy and Mandy ran over to their distant positions in 9 seconds!

Because the explosion was too severe, the staff asked all artists to take cover to avoid injuries, but among the female artists, Linda had the best treatment. She got to sit in the car and enjoy the big explosion scene in the car. The others had to stand there or crouch besides the car! At the moment of the explosion, the blaze was extremely fierce and not long after the dark smoke filled up 5 stories in the building. The people in the nearby buildings thought there was a real explosion and called the police. Results, several fire marshalls and the police came to the scene. Producer Lam Chi Wah said: "So sorry, the loud explosion sounds frightened everyone. We followed all the procedures and finished shooting the scene in the designated area." 

Linda got special treatment from the staff, allowing her to sit in the car during the explosion. Linda was asked if she was in a great panic? She laughed: "I wasn't that scared because the biggest explosion scene I've done was actually in Brother's Keeper, so I had the experience. (Why did you hide in the car?) I'm the most well behaved, the staff kept telling me to get in the car, treating me just like a real BB. Actually I really wasn't that scared. (The explosion scene got the police involved?) Proves how realistic the scene was, we want to show the audience the best. The crew had done all the registrations and applications beforehand, but if the loud scene disturbed other residents, really sorry about that." 

Joe expressed Tiger Cubs II filming is ending later this month, and praised the HK Police Force really does work efficiently, they came right to the scene when reported, but he was sorry the explosion caused disturbance to the nearby residents. 

Him Captures "Evidence" On Camera 

Him expressed he ran to the best place to take over and used his phone to take a picture of the scene. He shared the picture with everyone around him. Him disclosed this is not his first time shooting such a big explosion scene, so he wasn't as frightened as the female artists. He said: "Just now after we completed the scene, I immediately took off my helmet and put up a 'YEAH!' hand gesture to prove that I was in the scene. (Wasn't afraid the heat may melt your phone?) So that's why I used another staff's cell phone to take the pictures, haha!" 

Nancy Felt Face Heating Up 

Mandy and Nancy expressed this is their first time shooting such an intense explosion scene. Mandy laughed: "I felt scared, but at the same time I wanted to see it. Its so exciting, but when I got up, the explosion already happened. Luckily there were many other people on the set. Just now the camera man said he was filming a similar scene, but ended up losing all his hair. Just hearing that scared me, so I kept my head as low as possible during the explosion. (A resident thought it was real and called the police!) I saw the police come, but we were just filming. If we disturbed the residents, so sorry!" Nancy exclaimed: "It was such a strong explosion. I felt my face heating up. The staff told me to be careful and stand further away!"

'Ching Chi Mei' Lawrence Ng is Back, Pressured Meeting 'Famous Doctor' Kenneth Ma 

Yesterday The Hippocratic Crush II costume fitting was held at TVB. The original cast including Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung, Him Law, Mandy Wong, Benjamin Yuen and the additional new cast members Eliza Sam, Tracy Chu and the 'Three Wahs' - Lawrence Ng Kai Wah, Louisa So Yuk Wah and Jerry Koo Ming Wa attended. Although rumored couple Tavia and Him were there, the attention was still focused on 'Cheung Yat Kin' (Kenneth) meeting 'Ching Chi Mei' (Lawrence). 

It has already been 7-8 years since Lawrence has been in a TVB series, he expressed he feels pressure collaborating with the 'Malaysian' TV King Kenneth Ma and TV Queen Tavia. It was said Lawrence is considered 'god-level' and his juniors cannot compare to him? He laughed: "That's just a rumor! It's the past! I didn't come back to TVB to rescue them nor am I'm back as Ching Chi Mei, I'm Chan Sai Mei! Coming back to my maternal home, it's not difficult to adapt." Lawrence's role is the doctor designated to answer questions about strange diseases. When Tavia first debuted, she collaborated with Lawrence in Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, when asked if he remember Tavia? He said: "Tavia is getting prettier and prettier. I looked frightening during my debut." 

Tavia and Him became a rumored couple after On Call, Him expressed he only has "normal scenes" with Tavia and his relationships are complicated, he'll be romantically involved with Heung Heung (Eliza) and Crystal Li, but he won't avoid other people just because he's in the same series with Tavia. He said: "We all have to get familiar with one another, that's how we can create sparks." 

In the sequel, Tavia will continue her relationship with Kenneth as a married couple, asked if she'll avoid [intimate scenes] with Kenneth? She said: "I don't mind shooting kiss scenes. If there are kiss scenes, I'm still going to do it. (Him is surrounded by two girls?) It will be better if they get rumors, help promote the series!" 

As for Candy Chang's role 'Jing Jing' from On Call, she's still getting held back due to her involvement in the drug concealment case. Producer Poon Ka Tak expressed she wasn't dropped from the cast, but the arrangements will be made after her case settles. In the story, 'Jing Jing' went overseas and may come back in the end. The climax in the sequel is when Lawrence performs a major surgery on Kenneth.

Tavia Yeung Gets Rushed to Marry Him Law: "I Have a Headache" 

Tavia Yeung was crowned TV Queen for the first time at Astro's AOD My Favourite Awards 2012 in Malaysia last night. She was also one of the biggest winners with the most awards of the night along with Kenneth Ma. On stage, she teared up emotionally and asked her 13th TVB Artistes Training Class classmate Raymond Lam to go on stage and share the happiness with her, but Raymond rushed her and Him Law to get marry soon. 

Tavia: "I give you Him Law" 

Yesterday the stars came back to HK for a celebration. Tavia generously shared the award and took pictures with Him. When speaking of the most touching money, Tavia started getting teary eyes again. Asked why she didn't thank Him when she accepted her award? She said: "Because there's nothing to thank. I couldn't think of what I could thank him for. I thanked all my colleagues from THC, it's rare that every one of us had that much chemistry." During Him's interview, he said: "I got something most important to me in life!" Tavia was asked if Him was referring to her? She laughed: "I don't know! I'm not a thing, I'm human! You should ask him what he has gained! Perhaps he had an unforgettable moment when shooting this series (THC). (He thanked you on stage, were you touched?) He said a lot of other names! (Everyone rushed you two to get married?) I get a headache just hearing it! Nowadays, people's styles are like that. Once there are rumors, there's a huge surge. (Save the announcement of the relationship until you get the award in HK?) Nope, leave it to fate! I won't do any special planning, get award and make money first." When speaking of artists "giving presents" to fans so they can vote for them? Tavia joked: "I'll give you guys Him Law! (Take his nude photos out?) No! We don't have any of that!" 

"Best Supporting Actor" Him Law frankly expressed his confidence has increased and he had a lot of people to thank when he got on stage, but he didn't know why the audience started shouting Tavia Yeung's name. He said: "I'm a guy, so I can be more generous. Tavia helped me a lot in The Hippocratic Crush. (People were telling you two get married.) They're just joking. (Tavia didn't thank you on stage?) I really didn't help her in any way, she deserved the TV Queen award." When asked why he didn't declare his love for Tavia when he got the award? He said: "I don't know what to say. (When you become TV King, propose to her?) Crazy! There is no such thing. Marriage, leave it to fate. Every guy wants a good girl (Is Tavia a marriage partner?) She's a good girl, a marriage partner to many guys, but I don't know if I have that kind of good fortune." Him expressed when he was shooting THC, he encountered the lowest period in his life. When asked if it was the Theresa Fu incident? He said: "Don't mention it." 

Fresh out of the oven TV King, Kenneth Ma, clarified the rumors of him and ex-girlfriend Nancy Wu getting back together. He said they are just good friends and Nancy has a new boyfriend. The rumor is unfair to Nancy, she's a good girl. About his TV King victory, Kenneth said: "I'm very happy, never thought I would bring home so many awards from Malaysia. It is truly a pleasant surprise, but this didn't increase my confidence to get the TVB Award because there is a new system this year. If TVB had the old system, I have more confidence. This year, anything could happen, everyone has a chance." Will he put his new label 'HK Golden House Man God' into good use when trying to increase his votes? "I don't have an account there, or perhaps I'll tell fans to leave messages." Last night, the 'crying threesome' Koo Ming Wa, Mandy Wong and Oscar Leung [and Him Law] won their first acting awards and cried on stage. Wayne Lai shared his experience with them, he said his first award was given to him by Astro as well, but he waited a long time before getting his second one! 

Raymond Lam: "I wasn't joking" 

Raymond rushed Tavia and Him into marriage, but he later said frankly: "I'm not playing, I am serious! They are so sweet. It's strange, they used to keep their distance, but don't know why they were like that this time." It was not only rumored Raymond would get JSG's Most Popular Male Singer this year, but earlier he broke the tradition and still got an award at the JSG Selections Round 3 despite his absence. Raymond said: "I don't know why, each year whenever there are any changes, it's because of me! But has anyone ever thought, I have never won the TV King award?" 

Myolie Wu: "Don't Be Like Us" 

As for Myolie Wu, she said the most touching moment was during Tavia and Him's part. She said: "So sweet, unfortunately nobody had ever said such thing to me." Myolie felt emotional seeing them so sweet, but when asked if Tavia and Him's relationship reminded her relationship with Bosco Wong? Myolie said: "I wish them the best, don't end up like us!"

Kate Tsui was defeated by Tavia at the Astro awards, did she suffer emotional impact? Kate said: "I hope my next award won't come next year. This definitely didn't lower my confidence. The award winners were all well-deserved. THC had such strong reaction from the audience, my fans were a little disappointed because many fans made a special trip to Malaysia to support me." How will you increase your votes? Kate joked: "Kenneth Ma gave out pictures, I will have to betray Raymond Lam and hide some of his personal items, I need to win by a surprise move." 

'Kwan Yee Gor' Oscar Leung and 'Kwan Yee So' Mandy Wong won the 'Most Improved Actor and Actress' awards. Oscar said 'Kwan Yee Gor' has left a deep impression on audience, and brought him a lot more job opportunities. He laughed: "Lately when I went to get my car fix at the auto shop, the mechanic said to me, 'Mr. Kwan, your car is ready'." Oscar embraced Mandy at the moment he won the award, he laughed: "I have never hugged Mandy like that before."
