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."

Michael Tse proposes to Tavia Yeung gets 500 bystanders' support

Tavia Yeung and Michael Tse were shooting a marriage proposal scene for TVB new series Justice Pursuit & Attack on the busy street in Causeway Bay. Nearly 500 bystanders and tourists watching the scene, pushed through into the restricted area and obstructed the shoot. On camera, there were suddenly a few hundred extra temporary actors that appeared, this time TVB really profited! Tavia Yeung can't help being too charming, one four eyed man successfully got close to her and kept taking pictures, which frightened Tavia a bit and didn't know what to do. In the end, a staff had to come in and protect her. Because of the crowded street, at one point, the police came by to check on them.

In one scene, Tavia and Sharon were taking a stroll on the streets and were surrounded by a large group of pedestrians. During the time, a four eyed man dressed in a white suit came close and stared at Tavia and took close up shots of her. Tavia was a little frightened, but remained calm. The staff besides her immediately went forward to protect her. Tavia later expressed: "That man wasn't a temporary actor. Actually that's how it is when shooting on a busy street, I wasn't frightened. I was just afraid it would hinder us from shooting the scene. We have to use time wisely to complete the scene." Tavia stressed she didn't have any body contact with the man because she was protected by the staff around her. Asked if the four eyed man's eye expressions made her feel uncomfortable? She said she didn't care and didn't look at him.

Later, the scene where Michael proposes to her was a big deal. He first told Otto Chan to lay out the red carpet, and then dressed in a white suit, Michael sang Tavia a love song on the red carpet to confess his love for her. Good friend Sammy Leung was by his side capturing the whole thing on video, while Sharon Chan and Benz Hui were on the side cheering for them. Tavia appeared very surprised. Later, the two had a dance in front of the 500 onlookers, but didn't have any kiss scene.

When asked why she didn't have a kiss scene with Michael? Tavia said: "That's how the scene was arranged, I rejected him and then left. This is one of the big scenes in the middle of the series, it's pretty shocking, but not too difficult." When asked if she had ever thought of how it would be like when rumored boyfriend Him Law proposes? Tavia laughed: "Most important is to find a suitable partner, doesn't have to be anything big. We already have too much attention, artists shouldn't have too much attention, just let nature take its course and everything goes normally, I'll be happy enough."

Michael gets rejected, the Crowd goes silent

When Michael did the proposal scene, his face and ears turned red. Everyone cheered when he made his proposal to Tavia. Michael laughed and said, he was so nervous he started sweating and his heart beating loudly: "That moment felt special, the live audience really made a nice atmosphere. Just now when Tavia rejected me and left, the entire crowd at Causeway Bay went silent! That was a very real reaction, priceless! It made me think of back when I proposed to my wife, the young man feelings all came back! Its quite cute. (Did you know Tavia was frightened by a man staring at her?) I had people approach me too, only thing is to try best to protect her during idle time."

Tavia Yeung: Not capable of buying a home to cohabit with Him Law 

Tavia Yeung, Michael Tse and Sharon Chan were shooting in West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade for TVB new series Justice Pursuit & Attack. The scene was about Tavia and Michael participating in a charity hugging competition, and under the bitter heat, the two had to embrace tightly. Michael joked he got soaked from all the hugging. Asked if Tavia is good to hug? He teased: "Yes, her belly fat supports my abdomen's 5th and 6th pack!" Tavia refuted: "It's your belly fat that is supporting my muscular abdomen! Stop speaking nonsense, otherwise people might think your sexually harassing me." Michael said: "How is belly fat sexual harassment?" 

It was reported that Tavia bought a new home and is cohabiting with rumored boyfriend Him Law? Tavia denied that she bought a home, and said she isn't capable of buying a home with cash. She's paying mortgage on her current home and she isn't cohabiting with Him. She said: "He should give me money to spend. However, I only can take a man's money after marriage. I am still looking for a partner." Him isn't your partner? Tavia did not answer the question, but said her career is the priority. Asked if she's single? She ignored the question and said when she was young, she promised to marry her mother. 

Sharon wants to hug the cat she had for 10 years the most. It was rumored she's diagnosed with lupus (SLE)? She denied: "I had acute kidney inflammation before, but have already recovered. I'm still keeping up with getting a blood test done every two months and see if there are any changes. I have to watch my diet and can't drink. My mom cooks for me and I get appropriate amount of physical activity. My current health is even stronger than the Queens of Diamonds & Hearts period, I don't even get the flu."

Tavia Yeung acupuncture for back pains, not for a nose job 

Yesterday Tavia Yeung and Michael Tse were shooting on location for TVB new series Justice Pursuit and Attack. The scene was about the two dating, but then witnesses newcomer Rachel Poon jumping off the building. For the scene, Rachel was hanging on wires 10 stories high, but she frankly said she wasn't too scared because usually she plays with the jumping machine [at theme parks]. 

It was rumored that Tavia went to see an acupuncturist for a nose job. Tavia explained the acupuncture was to treat her protruding disc on her lower backbone (lumbar): "There is a slight fracture on my lumbar. In this series I have to wear high heels often and not getting enough sleep, so I'm having back pains. Right now my entire back is covered in Chinese fire cupping marks. If you can get plastic surgery done through acupuncture, then my entire face would be covered with needle holes!"

Sergeant Tabloid' hasn't broadcast yet, TVB prepping for sequel to keep Michael Tse & Niki Chow

'Sergeant Tabloid' hasn't broadcast yet, TVB prepping for sequel to keep Michael Tse & Niki Chow

Niki Chow and Michael Tse's new series Sergeant Tabloid hasn't broadcast in Hong Kong yet, but its been a popular hit overseas, like on the Mainland streaming site PPS. It was understood that Michael's TVB contract ends late 2012, and to push him up for the TV King title this year, TVB is currently prepping for a sequel. TVB also hopes to sign Niki to become a contracted artist with this sequel. 

Sergeant Tabloid had just completed shooting late February 2012 and already in April, the series was widely released overseas -- Malaysia's Astro On Demand, Australia's TVBJ channel and Mainland's streaming site PPS -- because the overseas buyers had great confidence on this series. TVB then decided to first schedule an overseas release. 

According to a TVB staff member: "Many of the series are done this way (warehoused), but this is our first time collaborating with a Mainland website. The overseas buyers had pretty good feedback on the series, so even before the completion of filming, it was already scheduled to release. The cast didn't know the series would release overseas first. Initially, we all thought someone stole the series too, it's funny." 

Mainland streaming site PPS aired the series first and started the Sergeant Tabloid surge to popularity: "Never thought the series would become a hot topic among Netizens that fast. HK Golden and other discussion forums have been very actively discussing. In fact, this series is considered one of the high budgeted productions, many explosion and gun fight scenes, so should have good reception." 

On the other hand, Michael's contract ends later this year, and TVB hopes to keep Laughing Gor with them, so they are actively coming up with plans.

"It is currently the war period. There are less and less Siu Sang and FaDans around. Of course Michael can't leave! TVB saw that this series had positive response, so they're keeping up the momentum and hopes to help Michael get TV King this year. Also, TVB really wants to sign a management contract with Niki. In fact, it has long been in the works, but just never happened, so even if Sergeant Tabloid hasn't broadcast in HK, the sequel is already in the making. Ideally, the sequel must have the original cast, they even said they'll wait for Niki to see TVB's sincerity." A TVB staff discloses. 

Regarding the TVB contract, Niki's manager responded: "TVB had always treated Niki very well. As to if she's a 'daughter' (contracted) or not, that is very secret stuff. It's not convenient for me to disclose." 

As for her series being a popular hit even before the actual broadcast, Niki said: "I'm very happy. I just finished recording the theme song with Michael. I hope the series airs in HK as soon as possible! (TVB is already prepping for the sequel!) Of course it's good to have a sequel. It would best if there is a film version too, but we'll see how TVB arranges it!"

Fala Chen @ Channel[V]'s CMA Awards steals limelight of Asian female stars 

Yesterday Channel [V] hosted The 16th CMA Awards at the Costai Strip CotaiArena in Macau. There were nearly 100 Asian stars from Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea that were invited to attend, a very star-studded event. Before the ceremony, the stars first walked the red carpet led by popular Mainland actress Yang Mi, followed by Asian Pop King Jay Chou. Other guests included Eason Chan, Sean Lau, Fala Chen, Michael Tse, Jaycee Chan, Twins and many more. 

However, among the group of female stars, TVB FaDan Fala Chen stole the limelight as she walked the red carpet with Michael Tse in her sexy low-cut deep V black evening dress. Fala explained the dress was sponsored to her by Armani and was delivered from Italy. The brand already notified her in advance that the dress would be on the sexier side, but she was willing to give it a try. Fala smiled: "Just dressed prettier for the award ceremony. Because I couldn't wear my bra, so I spent half an hour putting on tape and such. (Does your boyfriend like you looking that sexy?) So pretty, why would he? (More extreme than the TVB Anniversary?) We're not there yet, we don't know yet!" 

Michael and Fala were presented with the 'Best Television Actor and Actress Award (HK/Taiwan)' respectively. Twins won the 'Best Group Award (HK/Taiwan)'.

Linda Chung: I didn't wash my hands after using restroom

Linda Chung and Michael Tse attended a Lunar New Year countdown event with rumored couple Fiona Sit and Khalil Fong. When speaking of the scene in L'Escargot, where Michael sucked Linda's bleeding finger from a cut, Linda laughed: "That day, I didn't wash my hands after using the restroom!" Michael responded immediately: "Wah! No wonder that night, I felt so uncomfortable!"

Also present at the event was Fiona who is going to hold her HK Coliseum concert in July, but she will have to first shoot two films and also have to direct the MV to her new song. She's already preparing now. When asked if she'll go send new year greetings at Khalil's house? She said: "Because of work, I can't go." As for Khalil, he is allergic to cats, so won't be going to Fiona's house to send new year greetings because she owns a cat.

 

TVB new series L'Escargot criticized 'Impersonated Version of Dwelling Narrowness'

TVB new series L'Escargot criticized 'Impersonated Version of Dwelling Narrowness' 

TVB new series L'Escargot is currently broadcasting and has been receiving positive response. However, there were criticisms that the series copied 2009 Mainland drama Dwelling Narrowness, that 80% of the characters in the series is the same as Dwelling Narrowness. The similarities between the two series is that they are both revolved around real estate with the story about the high housing prices and the struggles middle-class citizens face when trying to purchase a home. The plots involve extramarital affairs and homes being acquired. 

Actually in 2010, when L'Escargot started shooting, lead actor Michael Miu already said the series is similar to Dwelling Narrowness, so he said, "if it is similar, then it is just a coincidence" to avoid any speculations of plagiarism. 

Even if we all know L'Escargot and Dwelling Narrowness are on the same ballpark, it is still hard to avoid comparison. As the plot and characters are indeed very similar, such as Michael Miu and Sonija Kwok plays a married couple worried about life and buying a home. This is very similar to the married couple Hai Ping and her husband in Dwelling Narrowness, it is just the husband turned into Michael Miu. 

In the series, Linda Chung plays Michael's younger sister, who initially had a very good boyfriend (Ron Ng), but because of the debt, she started an affair with wealthy and married businessman Michael Tse. This is just like Hai Ping's younger sister 'Priated Version' in Dwelling Narrowness. 

The plot in the recently broadcast episodes of L'Escargot spoke about Michael Miu's younger brother Oscar Leung, got into a car accident because he refused to let Michael Tse's real estate company acquire his home. As such, Dwelling Narrowness also has the same scene happening to an elderly woman. 

Although there is criticisms of plagiarism, there are still many supporters. Viewers praise the series for being realistic to today's society and the plot moves quickly. Also, this series was initially named 'HK Version of Dwelling Narrowness', even if the theme is similar, as long as it is good to watch, then it's not a problem. 

Producer Nelson Cheung responses to the plagiarism comments, he only said the background is similar, it is not plagiarism. He welcomes all viewers to continue watching, pay more attention to the parts that are similar and give more support to the 'HK Version of Dwelling Narrowness'.

Kate Tsui doesn't want Ron Ng as rumored partner before it gets boring

Kate Tsui doesn't want Ron Ng as rumored partner before it gets boring 

Last night, new film Laughing Gor Turning Point 2 held the film premiere. The cast including Michael Tse, Francis Ng, Kate Tsui, Bosco Wong and Janice Man attended. Raymond Lam was also present to show his support. Kate was dressed in a low-cut dress stealing the limelight, but she expressed she had already done all the safety measures to prevent accidental exposure. 

As it was rumored Ron Ng's girlfriend Viann Zhang called to yell at her, Kate said: "That story is never ending, it's like a dramatic series. Actually Forensic Heroes III promotions are over, Ron isn't my partner anymore, my new partners are Francis, Bosco and Michael. We can change the rumors, otherwise people will get bored. (Then did she call and yell at you?) Of course not. Everything is just randomly made up nonsense. (She said she doesn't know you!) But I know her, she is Ron's girlfriend! That's what the news say. (She even said you were a slut!) I'm not. It's probably just made up news. (Do you think Viann's gone too far?) I think it's just a made up story, she didn't say it herself. It is enough that I know myself that I'm not that type of person. (Then did Ron say sorry to you?) He didn't initiate anything, it's doesn't matter. There is no need to especially talk about these rumors." 

As Myolie Wu openly expressed she wanted Francis Ng back for Triumph in the Skies II, Francis said he is still in the discussion stages and has already left his schedule with TVB. Since he has never been a guest star before, he does not want to break the tradition. He said: "After all, still discussing a lifelong contract. The 'mother school' (TVB) is struggling, so the graduates will have to try donating, just won't ask for a high pay! In fact, let's not even talk about the money, I'm actually afraid of shooting sequels, afraid I won't know how to be that character again. It's special this time because no matter if its an elder woman or a granddaughter, they all want me to be back. More importantly is my son kept pointing at the TV when he saw me appear at the TVB Anniversary Awards. I also hope to shoot something for him to watch and be able to help TVB as well. We will make a better sequel together." As the cast are busy with their jobs, the film promotion are lacking. Michael admitted most of the promotion will be on the internet, but he hopes the box office will get better and better.

Michael Tse meets crazy Niki Chow, bickers and forgets his lines 

Niki Chow and Michael Tse were shooting for TVB new series Policewoman's Love Battlefield yesterday. The story is about the two as a bickering couple. When they were shooting the argument scenes, Michael clearly couldn't complete with Niki as he often forgets his lines. Later, Michael laughs: "This role is perfect for her (Niki), she really is a little crazy. In fact, Niki has the talent for comedies. This is my first time collaborating with her and on the first day of work, I already had a very good feeling. I never had this type of chemistry happen so quickly. (You can't be her in those bickering scenes?) The more we argue, the more sparks we have!" In the series, Michael urges Niki not to start a 'sister-brother' love with her younger cousin, played by Matthew Ko. Niki was asked if she minds dating someone younger than her? She said: "I never experienced it before, don't know how it feels, but the most important is that we can communicate. The digits, figure, wealth or age are not important. It is more important to have those innate qualities." 

Also, Michael was won 'Youku's Best Actor of the Year (HK) Award' earlier. Niki was asked if she 'forced' him to treat her a meal? Niki said: "Even if he didn't get any awards, I got a meal from him because earlier I recommended him a book, but I can make up by having a bigger meal later!" Michael just laugh: "We have to eat every day, we have to work every day." Since the two work so well together, when the series releases, they don't mind working as a couple team to accept shows, stage performances and opportunities to release music albums.
