Moses Chan & Charmaine Sheh: Celebrities can '4 In Love' too

Producer Jonathan Chik's romantic drama 4 In Love is airing during the Valentine's Day period. The fairytale love story between a 'House Boy' fan (Moses Chan) and a superstar (Charmaine Sheh) has left yet another deep impression on viewers. Moses and Charmaine continue to collaborate with Producer Chik's team and still found a load of surprises. From this series, the two were also able to really feel the love life of an artist. 

First time playing a Mong Kok House Boy, Moses portrays him as a low and rough character. Moses said: "I've also done gangster roles before. As long as its not too artificial and more natural, then that would work. My role is so much fun this time, it is refreshing to have the series revolve around the Mong Kok setting. Usually, I have no opportunity to step into the Mong Kok area." In a scene where he was being chased and beat on the streets of Mong Kok, some pedestrians thought Moses it was all real because the filming location a crowds of people. Needless to say, in just a few minutes people may even have called the police. "It really satisfied my craving this time. Producer Chik and Chow Yuk Ming truly got me pleasantly surprised." 

Charmaine Sheh plays the Asian superstar, who had to dress in costumes from the ancient times, modern times and the future. She played several different roles all at once. Charmaine's role greatest desire is to be herself and this happens to hold true for Charmaine in real life. "Although I don't want to act anymore, but after all there is still that addiction inside. When I first entered the industry, there were times where I felt lost. I will forever want to show my best in front of people, but in fact that is not the real me. I would look very tired on and off screen. Aside from the gradual increase of my age and experience, I believe artists have their own side too, they don't want to always wear a mask in front of people." 

Lost a Simple Life 

Charmaine quoted the UFO scene she had with Moses in 4 In Love. They were being followed by the paparazzi, a simple date turned into big headlines. Its hardly romantic at all. "A simple and small dream can be shattered because I'm an artist. I have personally experienced this myself, making people around me very cautious as well. I remember one time when I was shooting, and I went to the restroom. When I came out, the director was waiting for me outside of the restroom because he was worried of my safety. To an average person, this is nothing special, but to me I felt so touched. I don't even know how long it has been since someone did something like that for me. It is because even with just normal friends, there is fear of a misunderstanding. This is the life of an artist. I scarificed a lot of small details in life, that were initially very simple." 

Publicize relationship, no longer need to conceal 

Moses also believed artists should open up their true side to people. You must admit that it is impossible that people don't have faults. No matter how much you try to portray the perfect image, one day someone will discover the truth and then the consequences will be severe. "What I can only do is reveal the most true side of me. That is better and more comforting than trying to please audience. That is one of the reasons why I announced I'm dating Aimee Chan. After announcing it, we felt very comfortable and everyone have been giving us more space. When facing reporters, we no longer have to hide or conceal anything." Moses frankly said that the most comforting is that people have sent their blessings to them. 

Charmaine starting to put love as a priority 

Charmaine envies Moses for making his relationship public and that the public accepts the couple. As for herself, work is her first priority, so is love her second? Charmaine's voice turned high-pitched: "Of course not! I am starting to feel its a tad rushed. I'm starting to put love in a higher position and this is the reason why I want to take more time off. Aside from my health, I hope to put more time into expanding my social circle. I need time to communicate more with friends. In the last few years, I had pursuers, but I chose to put work first and pursuing a career was my priority. I didn't have time to think about my love life or to choose anyone. I cannot feel regret, so I am currently changing and I hope there will be a new scene."

Tavia also said girls should wait to accept gifts. When reporters asked if she'll accept a diamond ring gift? She immediately revealed her desperateness: "Of course I will accept it! It's money!" With a face full of joy, Tavia generously spoke about the progress of her relationship with Him: "If I meet a good guy, then I will date. Well, we are friends. (Any chance of taking the relationship further?) I don't have time! I'm working everyday." She admitted that she and Him do go out for dinner together in their personal lives. 

As for Him, he was not as generous as Tavia when responding to the rumor. He also does not know if he can follow Tavia's orders and go buy a diamond ring, but when facing Tavia's plastic surgery rumors, he quickly defended her: "I believe she didn't because I would have seen it when we are filming." 

Reporters teased and asked if he had touched Tavia's nose before? Him laughed: "We had no kiss scenes, so never touched before!" Him also defended ex-girlfriend Theresa Fu that she didn't do plastic surgery. 

Rising in popularity after her role as 'Kwan Yee So', Mandy Wong joked and said she will try her best to control herself and not allow the 'HK Girl' attitude to surface: "Otherwise, I will drive away all my male friends." Mandy reveals she'll be charging into the film scene soon with 'Kwan Yee Gor' Oscar Leung. The on-screen pair will get to continue their fate in the new film. 

Also, at the promotion the crew celebrated Kenneth Ma's birthday with a birthday cake.

Steven Ma to leave TVB next month and becomes a best-seller 

Steven Ma's contract issues with TVB had been dragging on and on, but now its finally settled. Yesterday Steven accepted an exclusive interview while working in Hengdian, where he admitted that he'll be a freelancer starting next month. He expressed he is very grateful of his 'maternal home' (TVB) for looking after him over the years. He said: "Last month, I already finished discussing with TVB. The contract runs until the end of this month. All is going smoothly, I am very grateful. Right now, there is one less worry and I can start considering my future outlook." 

Over the years, Steven had filmed many high rated series. It was rumored that TVB is minding their own business, especially sending out their executive and Steven's mentor Catherine Tsang to bring out the 'friendship card' and try to persuade Steven to sign a special contract that's in disguised form to continue the relationship. Also, it was rumored CityTelecom's chairman Ricky Wong offered him a sky-high price to entice him over to participate in a 50 episode long series. Former TVB producer Miu Siu Ching, who has switched over to NOW, is trying to recruit Steven along with many other Mainland production companies as well. 

Steven said: "I did talk to Ricky Wong before. As Catherine Tsang is my mentor, her words are in my heart. Other companies have approached me before too, I am still hesitant. At this moment, I still do not have a decision yet." He admits aside from shooting series, there were also management contracts. He said: "The script is the most important, money is secondary. As for the management contract, I have to carefully consider. In short, I am very grateful of all the people who have approached me, thanks for the appreciation."
