Sharon Chan Exposes Sammy Leung Made a Million off "Friendly Fire"; Alice Chan Asks for a Director's Cut

Last night Sammy Leung, Sharon Chan, Alice Chan, Derek Kwok, Louis Yuen and the rest of Friendly Fire's cast and crew watched the finale and had dinner together. The cast hopes for a sequel. The refreshing new pairing Sammy and Sharon has been well accepted by the audience and attracted several advertisers. Sharon disclosed Sammy earned a lot more milk money due to this series. Sammy admitted: "This series has brought me a lot more jobs and endorsements. I'm still discussing with one advertiser right now and got over HK$1 million income." He joked and said he's currently stealing TVB Siu Sang's 'rice bowls' (jobs), "Sharon got a slimming ad too, we're all getting a lot more income." Sammy suddenly called Sharon "mother", he said she takes care of him like a mother and teaches him how to pose for pictures. 

After the finale aired, Netizens said there are lot of unrealistic scenes in the series. Sammy expressed his support and said the story line is reasonable, he said: "Perhaps Benz Hui took the bus or taxi home?" He also does not mind, Inbound Trouble getting all the attention. He said: "We took away The Confidant's finale limelight! That's how it is when a series replaces another series. Don't we just have to beat ATV?" 

The other pair from the series, Alice Chan and Derek Kwok, had a chain of intimate scenes. Alice was asked whether her husband was upset seeing those scenes? Alice laughed and said her husband hasn't watched the series, "I'm not afraid that he'll get jealous, he already knew about how intimate we get before shooting. He is a professional viewer. (You and Derek had even more intense kiss scenes on the yacht?) A lot of it were cut, perhaps the producer saved the cut scenes in his own private collection. It would be best to release Friendly Fire Director's Cut, share the good stuff with others." Netizens praised Alice's hot looking body figure in the bikini scenes, and that she hasn't aged much. Alice laughed: "It was so difficult for me, I didn't eat for several days! It is because I didn't have any confidence, so I have to keep fit!" Derek expressed he had high expectations on their very intimate scenes and joked: "I don't think there will be anyone asking us to participate in a CAT3 film!" 

Also, lead actress Tavia Yeung was absent from the dinner gathering because she's working in Mainland. Yesterday morning, she attended a marathon at The Chinese University, but she laughed and said she has zero athletic skills. Asked why she doesn't work out with boyfriend Him Law? She said: "Girls don't have to do physical training. Even if I have a private trainer, I don't have a private training room! (Did you watch Him's Young and Dangerous Reloaded yet?) Not yet! I'll ask him for tickets, we don't have to go together." Since Tavia missed the dinner celebration with Friendly Fire's crew, she said she had to work in Mainland that night, but did pitch in some money. She exposed she got into a car accident in Mainland, "The front bummer is damaged. At that very moment, I was scared, but luckily nobody was hurt. What I feared most was being late to the event." When speaking of Friendly Fire's unrealistic scenes, such as breast-feeding in the courthouse? She said: "TV series will always have goofs. What the series was trying to convey was, even though she's a strong female lawyer, she still has a heartwarming side. Benz Hui's bike chase scene, I think under an intense situation like that, it is possible. When someone is anxious, they can lift up a bus with their hand."

"Inbound Troubles" Good Start Peaked 33 PTS, But Lots of Complaints

Yesterday the cast of TVB new series Inbound Troubles Joey Meng, Roger Kwok, Wong Cho Lam, Ivana Wong, Louis Cheung and Whitney Hui gathered for dinner and to watch the premiere together. It was said Joey had been having difficulties getting pregnant because her husband smokes. She said: "He doesn't smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day, that exaggerated. I already quit smoking, but sometimes perhaps due to stress, I do smoke a cigarettes. We go for a body check annually and have good health. Whether we decide to have a baby or not, it is between us. Also, I just joined TVB and if I get pregnant that quickly, then it seems strange. Work comes first, but if there is an accident, I don't mind either." 

Inbound Troubles is Joey's first TVB series, she expressed she actually wasn't too nervous, but recently she's starting to feel nervous because people have been constantly asking her about the TV ratings. She laughed: "If the rating reaches 40 points, one said he'll have another baby (Roger Kwok) and the other said he'll get married (Wong Cho Lam), then I really do hope they can get married and have children." 

Also, the premiere rating averaged 31 points and peaked at 33 points, which is much higher than last week's Missing You finale rating (27 PTS). However, the Broadcasting Authority received 10 complaints on the premiere -- the content increased the China-Hong Kong controversy and defamed Mainlanders, but there also complaints that the scenes insulted Hong Kong people and the content is misleading. It appears Wong Cho Lam's catchphrase in the series is "Harmony, harmony , I will learn properly." Wong Cho Lam responded to the Weibo comments on the series, he expressed: "Some people silently observe and analyze; some feel offended by just one or two words; some are very interested and wants to see how the story develops; some said they won't be watching the series anymore; some said I'm defaming Mainlanders and some said I'm insulting Hong Kong people. There are even some people who get specific, saying that I insulted Dongguan or Sichuan people. So just what type of person are you? Do we need these people in our society? If you can boil on and have the courage, then watch on!" 

Ivana's song Leave Blank won the "Gold Song Gold Award" at the JSG music awards. It was said when the award was announced, Joey Yung was completely shocked and had an "O" expression, Ivana said: "I believe Joey wasn't frightened, just surprised. We chatted a lot throughout the night, I believe she's happy for me." When speaking of the public doubting on just how many people actually listened to her song Leave Blank? Ivana said: "I've heard many people liked this song. I'm an optimistic person and I know it's hard to please everybody." Netizens turned the lyrics of Ivana's Leave Blank into a spoof Leave Rice, which reached over 20,000 clicks online.

After this incident, Jason took more care in supervising Linda where they often partnered together to solve mysterious cases. One such case is about a little girl where her mum abandon her and left her under the care of the neighbors. Through the years, the neighbors took great care of her daughter till one day, they need some legal document from the biological mother to enroll the girl to school. However, one day, the mum wanted the daughter back and forbid anyone to visit her. Then, an unexpected incident happened where the daughter scalded her arm and required medical attention. The 2 parties fought over the daughter in court and it was held that the mum was sentenced to jail and the daughter was able to go back to her foster father and mother. A nice happy ending. All other stories also have a rather pleasant ending.




Linda soon found out that the main reason why Jason stayed in the Search and Rescue Agency despite girlfriend, Lin Xiawei's (Ding Fan-Chi Vincci 丁芃芝) several attempts to asked Jason to return back to the banking industry. Part of the reason was Jason wanted to find his biological mother who abandoned him in an amusement park when he was just 5 years old. Thereafter, he found his mother and had the opportunity to spent 3 happy days with her just before she passed away. However, the case was not closed as Jason noticed that his mother last wish was to find out the truth on why Jason's biological father abandoned them. His search was rather smooth sailing and he soon found out that KK Cheung (楊佑銘) was his father. However, the reunion was met with challenges from KK Cheung's wife who did all she could to stop this including deceiving her family that she has cervical cancer. When the truth came to light, Jason was able to let go of the past and accepted KK Cheung's wife apology.

Yesterday Tavia Yeung, Sammy Leung, Sharon Chan, Samantha Ko and the rest of the cast of TVB series Friendly Fire attended the promotional event. At the promotion, the cast played "The Best Sleeping Look" game. Sammy suddenly did a handstand and revealed his big belly, then he forgot Sharon's name and got teased by the MC Jack Wu: "You're not just depressed! You have dementia too!" Sammy was having so much fun and played hard, he later gave Michael a big kiss too.

Samantha Ko (Ko Ling) rape scene will be broadcasting on Wednesday, when the female lead, Tavia Yeung, was asked if she stole her limelight? Tavia generously said: "It's her debut rape scene, it's good there is noise from the public." Tavia and Michael's two minute sex scene was also a big hit, Tavia laughed and said that night, she tricked her mother out to dinner and prevented the mother-daughter from watching an embarrassing scene together. 

Ko Ling guaranteed her rape scene won't be one second and said many colleagues are extremely curious on how the scene will play out. As for when she was filming the scene, she said only the necessary staff remained in the studio. She just revealed her back, everything in the front of her body was covered, even her belly button couldn't be seen. Also, the costume staff took great care of her and covered her tightly before the cameras rolled.

Hello All! As apologies for the late update, I got a compilation of some popular artistes' signatures. In the new year, I wish that uni life will be less stressful and more exciting. In 1 year's time, I will be graduating so I hope to graduate with flying colors with a good honours degree. 2013 is indeed a special year as it marks the end of schooling life. Hopefully I can get a meaningful and fulfilling job! May luck be with me and God bless me. Praying hard for the upcoming fyp. =) For Justvb's fans, thank you all for following this blog throughout all these years and all the best in your studies or worklife and live life to the fullest! ^_^
