Justvb | A moment with Just TVB on your mind

Roger Kwok, Fala Chen, Sharon Chan, Koni Lui and Gigi Ho took part in TVB series Queens of Diamonds and Hearts promotional event, where the cast watched the series in Tsim Sha Tsui. Recently, it was rumored that lead actresses Fala and Sharon have been on bad terms and were in a big competition during filming. They competed on lateness, who changes the schedule and take time off the most. Coincidentally, they were both late to the event last night. Sharon was half and hour late, while Fala defeated her by being 40 minutes late. Soon after, Sharon embraced Fala for pictures, Sharon joked: "Let us take a 'bad terms' picture first." Fala then gave Sharon a gift too.

During an interview, Roger was asked about Fala and Sharon's bad terms rumor? He laughed: "They are always on bad terms. I must defend Beauty (Sharon Chan), Fala is the one at fault. In fact, I modify the schedule the most, I'm the most popular." Later, Sharon joined Roger in the interview, she denied that she's on bad terms with Fala: "We all modified the schedule before, but we did all our communication beforehand. Sometimes, we know we won't get any sleep for the next few days on the schedule, so we accommodate each other. We had a pleasant collaboration, and are good friends, not on bad terms." Sharon also said Netizens have been madly criticizing her role Ha Ying Chun, she said: "Many people want to follow me just so they could yell at me, what did I do wrong?"

As for Fala, she was asked if she's trying to compete with Sharon on lateness? She said: "No, we had to work before and have matched the times first. We are very good friends in private, and have not been affected by the reports. Also, we both have straightforward personalities. If we really are on bad terms, it is impossible that we can pretend to be friends in front of you guys." Recently, Fala has been busy recording new songs for her debut album and has been jogging to train. Asked if she's worried she'll get followed by the media while she's jogging? She laughed: "I am undercover dog Fala. I have eyes on my back. In fact, I'm just exercising, it's really nothing." Fala said she won't ask her boyfriend to jog with her because it will attract more of the paparazzi.

Pawn shop owner KO YEE MAN (Ha Yu) often upholds the 'emergency assistance' spirit, there will always be solutions to everything in life, with exception of his three beloved children. Being the 24/7 father gives him the greatest headache. Oldest son KO WAI TING (Evergreen Mak) and his wife WAN YUN HAN (Nancy Wu) are a very loving couple, but their careers trip them up. Second daughter KO YUE CHU (Linda Chung) almost became the third party in a relationship, but was fortunate enough that her bickering friend LAM FAT (Steven Ma) was there to pull her back up on her feet. As for youngest daughter KO YUE BO (Cilia Lok), she is completely a fast and dodgey person. She only knows how to chit-chat day and night, and have no integrity.

My thoughts:

After The Hippocratic Crush, it's time for some heart-warming family series. Steven Ma and Linda Chung have collaborated numberous time, this is also Steven Ma last drama at TVB. Seems wierd that Evergreen Mak is to pair up with Nancy Wu. Oh well. Interested to hear any comments that you have as always. ^_^

Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung, Him Law and Mandy Wong took part in a basketball competition promotional event for The Hippocratic Crush. Yesterday the cast arrived at the high school to play a basketball game against the students. In a pair of leather shoes, Kenneth carelessly tripped his opponent during the game, frightening him so much he put his hands up in surrender. Him also tripped and fell during the confusion. The final score was 18 to 7, the Students crushed the Artists defeating them by 11 points.

Tavia didn't participate in the game, but she did serve as the cheerleader for her team. She exposed: "In the series, Kenneth is suppose to be good at basketball, but in reality he's really bad at it. He NGed countless times before he was able to get 1 shot in." It turns out Kenneth doesn't know how to play basketball at all, he laughed and said audience only saw the edited version.

 

When speaking of ex-girlfriend Nancy Wu's 6 second cameo appearance, Kenneth said: "She wasn't visiting me on the set, nothing to do with me. It's because the studio turned into a surgery room, so it was like TVB's holy land, everyone wanted to go in and see, including other producers and directors. (Nancy said let nature take its course when getting back together with you?) Well then, let nature take its course!" He said he's currently comfortable being friends with Nancy.

 

Asked if there is a possibility that they may get back together? Kenneth said: "I don't know the future. Never know, maybe they'll (media) will say I'm back together with Margie Tsang! It's all written and rumored by you guys! (You two didn't admit to have dated?) Any rumored friend can be said to have reconciled with me!"

 

The Hong Kong Chief Executive Election Debate will be televised on that Friday night when The Hippocratic Crush finale airs, and thus the finale will be pushed back 30 minutes. The cast believed this won't affect the ratings. Tavia believes it won't be too much of a problem: "Everyone in Hong Kong is following the election and it has been a concern in HK for a long time. It will be perfect for audience to watch the series finale right after the debate!" Him also believes its a small affect on the ratings and both programmes are important in HK. He hopes the finale will reach 40 points.

As for Him, he was asked if he'll carry rumored girlfriend Tavia into the basketball court? He smiled: "I have to get the ball, I don't have that many hands to carry her too!" He also expressed his injury from the fall isn't too serious and won't need to tell Tavia about it. Asked if he's going to pursue her? He said: "No such thing. (She's pursuing you?) No, good friends, normal friends. (Had rumors with female stars previously, still dare to date?) Time will past. I will do less joking now, but I'm not afraid to pursue female stars."

 

Debuted through the Miss Chinese International Pageant, Bernice Liu steps into her 11th year in the industry. Her rumors weren't considered many, counting back to the earliest rumor was with Hawick Lau and in 2005 with Moses Chan after Love Bond. However, the most annoying rumor was that she dumped Moses for young businessman Alastair Lam last year. Because of her waist injury, she was faced with a major surgery and had no mood to handle all the rumors.

 

When the Bernice and Moses breakup was mentioned in the interview, Bernice was very surprised: "I was really disturbed at the time. Since 2005, the rumors with Moses started, and since then the dating and breakup rumors came continuously. Later it was said I was dating Alastair Lam and even dumped Moses for him. There was a lot of negative news, I really didn't know how to handle it all! On top of that, my body just had to sound the alarm at that same time. When I was laying in the hospital bed facing a major surgery, he just had to announce 'the past is the past' to describe our relationship. Honestly, at the time I was really shocked. First off, he and I never admitted that we dated, so why was he saying that? But, that time I was too busy to go deal with it. I was in fact more worried about my surgery, whether if I could stand up and walk again after the surgery."

 

During the time Bernice was in the hospital, Moses never once visited her. This unilateral breakup announcement happened while she was bed-ridden. She didn't have the strength to feel heartbroken, she said: "Actually, we haven't kept in touch, but that's not important! Even if that's the case, I won't be disappointed with this person because each individual have different ways of doing things and different views. The most important is to have self-respect. (How would you describe your relationship with him?) On-screen couple. The happy moments, I will keep in my memories. (A couple with Alastair Lam?) No! (Pursuer?) Haha! You should ask him. Actually he's not married, I'm not married, meeting up for dinner is a very normal thing."

Bernice said: "I am still longing to be in a relationship, just my mentality differs from when I was in my early 20s. The only stubbornness I have is, the status is given to the woman by the man. When I was young, dating could be about mutual feelings, but now I have to be a little more practical. I will think more of the future, and will fulfill all the duties of a mother after marriage, have children and have hopes that my future spouse will have the same idea. Growing up in a traditional family, I want to have 7 kids because I love a lively atmosphere, but I believe by that time I'll have to find a really big place to be able to give my children enough space. Canada isn't a bad choice and besides the living expenses isn't too high to raise children there!"

 

Tavia Yeung, Him Law, Kenneth Ma, Mandy Wong and the rest of the cast to TVB series The Hippocratic Crush attended a promotional event and announced last week's ratings averaging at 30 points and peaked at 33 points. When rumored couple Tavia and Him were interviewed, the two often flattered each other and flirted.

Currently appearing on series after series, Him denies he's already standing firm in the TV industry: "But I do feel the greatest sense of accomplishment this time. On the streets, people call me by my nickname in the series 'Onion'." Is it because of the rumors with Tavia that brought the ratings up? Tavia laughed: "What, there's something like that? I have always been in the group with strength." Standing besides her, Him said he is on the idol group, he said: "I have to learn from Tavia, she is a beautiful girl on both the strength and idol groups." Tavia immediately 'returned the gift' and praised Him back, that he's a handsome guy. Since the series is getting such good response, will there be a chance to collaborate again? The two expressed that question is for the producer, don't have to be too deliberate.

 

Tavia exposed recently she has been infected with the money famine: "I shoot any TVB series there is. (A couple team with Him?) No matter what, whenever we come out, you all (reporters) will say we are a couple team! If there are any BBQ shops opening, they are welcomed to invite us to do the ribbon-cutting ceremony, we can discuss the price and give discounts!" As for Him, he was asked if he took on the same tactics as he did in the series on Tavia? He said he hasn't done anything, but Tavia said: "If there was a guy that romantic in real life, that would be so sweet. However, I don't like romantic, I like extreme!" Reporters teased Tavia that she should tell Him to sign a TVB management contract, so the two can have more opportunities to work together. Tavia said: "If I'm the manager, I will go tell him to do so!"

 

As Tavia's partner in the series, Kenneth claimed that he and Tavia are the most matching pair on-screen, and warns everyone that he'll be stealing the 'couple team' back from Him. Kenneth laughed: "He can't have her for long. There are many fans that like me and Tavia as a pair. Tell Him to step aside, I'll be pulling her back to my side since our romantic storyline will be airing soon. (But they are together in real life.) I don't care. But I'm not sure if they really are an item in real life, can't see any signs."
