Linda Chung attended a press conference for Hong Kong Chartered Bank credit card LTD yesterday. She was wearing a one piece mini skirt for the event, showing her long and beautiful legs. Although she was well known for being careful with her spending money, she often went over her credit limits when she was traveling here and there. Once, she spent a 6 figure sum! It's Linda's birthday today, she said she would urge her friends to put money for charity instead of buying presents for her. She added " I will collect the money and donate it to the orphanage!" Linda is truly a kind hearted beauty!

Triumph in the Skies Film Stars Francis, Chilam and Louis Koo; Francis Hoped Fala Chen Joins the Cast 

Yesterday Media Asia Group's chairman Peter Lam led a group of artists and directors to participate in the HK FILMART 2014. Artists including Francis Ng, Chilam Cheung, Louis Koo, Nick Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai, Ekin Cheng, Miriam Yeung, Ivana Wong, Chrissie Chau, Janice Man and many others held a press conference to promote the new 2014 films. The big productions included Don't Go Breaking My Heart 2, Break Up 100 Times, Helios, The Source of Love and Triumph in the Skies film edition. 

The TITS film will star Francis Ng, Chilam Cheung and Louis Koo. Francis hoped the original cast could participate in the film including Fala Chen. However, the film is a joint production by Media Asia and Shaw Studios, and since Fala is no longer a TVB artist, she may not be in the film? Francis said: "When the series began filming, Fala didn't sign the contract with TVB, but they still promoted her to be the first leading actress." Francis was unsure whether the film edition will have the three lead actors fight for one girl. The film is scheduled to start shooting in June. 

Asked if they'll compete for more screen time? He joked: "You all don't have to follow us when we go out on our trips because I'll come back with news to report." Earlier Francis loses the TV King title to Dayo Wong, does Francis hope to get the Film King title instead? Francis said a bit upset: "Don't bring out the topic that TVB dislikes so and so again. They didn't want to bring it up, so why bring up unhappy events? (TVB didn't want to bring it up?) We don't want to bring it up, is that ok? (Are you unhappy?) Doesn't matter to us." 

Ekin Cheng and Chrissie Chau star in Break Up 100 Times, they had an affectionate water scene, but they expressed there was no awkwardness. Actually the cartoon underwear that the staff prepared for her ruined the romantic atmosphere, but it was also pretty funny. Ekin expressed he did not tell his wife Yoyo Mung about the scene prior to filming because Yoyo is also an actress, so she understands its only work. Chrissie felt its normal to have kiss and intimate scenes because in the film she and Ekin had been dating for 8 years.

Niki Chow Has "3 Husbands", None of them is Jeremy Jones 

Niki Chow and Richie Ren attended the press conference of new drama The Virtuous Queen of Han. Niki's boyfriend Jeremy Jones is also part of the cast, but he was absent from the event, asked if she was okay with that? She said: "The company makes the arrangements. I knew today I'm here with Richie to promote the theme song, Raymond Lam is part of the cast too and he didn't attend." Niki disclosed she has three husbands in the series, but Jeremy isn't any of the three. Reporters teased as long as she has him in real life, then that's enough. Niki laughed: "Haha, not related!" As Niki's boss, Richie Ren joked he didn't know Niki and Jeremy were dating, but he'll make adjustments to the arrangements and coordinate appropriately in private.

Nancy Wu is Straight and a Lesbian, Gets Intimate with Bosco, then Kisses Kate Tsui

Yesterday day one of the HK FILMART 2014 was held at the HK Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. TVB sent out 41 of their leading Siu Sang and FaDans including Wayne Lai, Raymond Lam, Ron Ng, Ruco Chan, Kenneth Ma, Roger Kwok, Charmaine Sheh, Kate Tsui, Selena Li, Tavia Yeung, Joey Meng, Priscilla Wong, Aimee Chan, Nancy Wu, Sharon Chan and many more to participate in the "TVB Programmes Parade 2014" press conference. Bosco Wong, who has been surrounded by rumors lately, did not attend because he was ill. The second group and batch of series will be featured in day two of the festival.

TVB advertised several of their upcoming series including Inbound Troubles II, Ghost Dragon of Cold Mountain, Madam Cutie On Duty, Under the Veil, Swipe Tap Love, Line Walkerand The Ultimate Addiction as well as the currently airing Ruse of Engagement and Storm in a Cocoon. Wayne Lai had the most series, he was in 5 of them. Probably the most shocking and eye catching was The Ultimate Addiction's trailer, Kate Tsui appeared topless in front of Nancy, and then the two had an intense kiss scene. Even Nancy said on Weibo: "My heart jumped out when I saw this." Nancy also had a lot of hot and sexy scenes with Bosco, she appears in a black bra and sits on Bosco's thighs.

Wayne expressed he has already completed two series, and still have three more in the line up. In June, he'll be collaborating with Anthony Wong in a new pre-modern drama about Kung Fu. He joked he's getting confused too. Shooting one series after another, does he have any time to go to Mainland to earn some extra income? Wayne expressed he's concentrating more on shooting HK dramas, and does not plan to deliberately develop in the Mainland market. He laughed: "I'm more than willing to attend to the HK audience. The current HK atmosphere is not good, I believe I ought to entertain everyone to boost the atmosphere."

The calamitous series Line Walker lead actress Charmaine Sheh expressed its not calamitous, rather it is many challenges. She expressed: "I heard the crew is going to hold another blessing ceremony." She also said Sammy Sum's accident didn't slow down the filming progress, they can just redo the scenes when he recovers. Asked whether she's worried she'll get injured too? Charmaine laughed: "My action scenes are usually with Raymond Lam, the hero who saves the beauty. Also, one of my top 10 weapons is the folding stool, I usually use that to beat people." Raymond jokingly asked if he'll be the next one to be injured. Charmaine disclosed Line Walker filming ends late April, and she hoped it will be released soon. She said after this series, she will be shooting another TVB series, but first she must go on vacation with her friends to recharge. "We can go where ever, the most important is to take a break. I plan to go with my good friends, but the majority of them are all mothers now, so its quite difficult to schedule a good time."

Aimee Chan's birthday is on April Fool's Day, the Westernized Aimee laughed and said friends pulled pranks on her birthday, but as long as its not too over, she doesn't mind. How does she plan to celebrate her birthday this year? Aimee expressed nothing big, she'll probably just have dinner with her family.

Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) expressed concern for Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) earlier incident of encountering air current problem in the plane. He consoled her and said "Should not have any problems. Linda has some lucks now and nothing will happen." Ruco mentioned probability of plane accidents was very little and said "Everyone seems to have some fears of taking aeroplane after Malaysia Airlines incident. I am also slightly afraid but less worried after praying."

When asked about the rumours between himself and Natalie Tong (唐詩詠), Ruco smilingly said "It is also good, as better than having rumours with Linda always.' Although Ruco denied the romance with Natalie, but he praised her as a nice girl. Ruco said again "Her acting is good, she is obedient and people are helpful to her. (Any chances to develop?) Nobody will know in the future. Who knows we may act together again and given a chance to develop then. (Go on a date with Natalie alone before?) Nope, we do not have any romance scenes in the new series, All that Bitter is Sweet and hope we can act together again."

Maggie Cheung Enjoys Life After Leaving TVB,

Maggie Cheung Enjoys Life After Leaving TVB 

Maggie Cheung had once posted a photo showing off V-line abs, and stirred up speculation on whether the person in the photo with those V-line abs was her? Unfortunately, the answer was just as disappointing as Myolie Wu's "I found him!" Maggie laughed: "I wish! I hope one day I can lift up my shirt and show off a little." We believe Maggie doesn't just have a nice body figure to show off, but she can also show off her acting skills. After leaving TVB, Maggie has gained more than she lost. She now has the freedom to work for HKTV, iCable, nowTV or some Mainland company. She could even find her true self. 

Since leaving TVB, Maggie had more time to do the work she wants to do and live the life that she wants to live. She said: "In the past, I was really scared when I saw the outskirts because going that far, I'm almost certain its a costume drama and its most likely a location you can't even find a restroom. It is terrifying, but now I've learned to design my own life. I can plan how I want to live." She also praised HKTV for being able to comply with the terms made in the contract. She said: "In TVB, Hoi Mei (Kathy Chow) had a set amount of hours to rest, but in the end TVB wasn't able to keep the promise. Mr. Wong at HKTV's contract had 10 hours set for resting time, earlier when I was filming Hakka Woman, he was able to fulfill that promise. In April, I will be filming another modern series with HKTV. I'm not worried the series won't have any place to broadcast because the internet is the future broadcasting platform." 

In the past, Maggie just knew how to be materialistic to please herself, but now she says: "I was young before, I saw myself working so hard, so I would go shopping to make myself feel better. One time, I swiped my credit card so much I went over the limit. I didn't realize until much later that my life before was just so dry and dull." Currently still single, Maggie never liked people asking so many questions, but after getting bombarded by questions, Maggie finally admitted she had a pursuer, but was unwilling to disclose the details of that person. She said: "If I really do find my Mr. Right, I will consider letting you all know. There is no reason to hide it. (Can you accept sister-brother love?) In this time period, it really doesn't matter. Is it definite that if a man is older than a woman, then they'll be happy? Or if the woman is older than the man, then they won't be a happy couple? Actually, the most important between two people in a relationship is feeling. But, is marriage definitely going to be better than being single?"

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."
