Triumph in the Skies II has Over 100 Million Views, Possibly Get a Film Version

TVB grand production Triumph in the Skies II is on its third week of broadcast, "Sam Gor" Francis Ng and "Cool Mo" Chilam Cheung have melted a thousands of fans. The ratings peaked at 35 points and the first 11 episodes have over 130 million views online, averaging 9.5 million views per episode. There are over 30,000 topics on the series on discussion forums.

Fans were touched by Sam Gor's tearful apology to "Zoe" in episode 14. Francis thought the outcome of that scene was pretty good, but he felt he didn't look his best because he was sick at the time and his face looked swollen. 


Possibly a Triumph in the Skies II Film Version

Last night Francis and Chilam Cheung appeared in Tseung Kwan O for a celebration dinner with the crew. It was rumored TVB and film producer Stephen Shiu are fighting to produce the TITS film version. Francis and Chilam both expressed their interest in participating, but hasn't confirmed which side they'll be on. Francis said: "I will see what Tommy Leung (TVB executive) does, I will only collaborate with others if he doesn't work there. (A greater chance to collaborate with TVB?) Not necessarily. They still have a Lunar New Year film to shoot, so its not gonna happen that fast." Chow Yun Fat expressed he wanted to portray a Captain server, Francis laughed: "Then his salary should be lower than ours. He can do all of the work." 

Netizens wondered why Sam Gor didn't continue his fate with Flora Chan? Francis said: "You ask the scriptwriter. I just do what I'm told! My relationship with Zoe later will explain what happened before. (The audience should prepare tissues?) Towels! Everyone put in a lot of effort into the performance, the two girls did very well." 

Didn't Understand Why Sam Gor Ends Up with Fala

Francis also did an interview with [Good News] and talked about his co-stars from TITS2. About Fala Chen, he expressed: "Fala has high expectations on herself, she has to look at everything at a time and see if she did her best. Fala concentrates too much on herself, she has to relax herself. Working in the TV industry does not necessarily have to be like that. Perhaps female artists value the outcomes more. I heard many artists are concern of their destiny, I would express my advice, but its mostly on the character, not the character's destiny." Francis also mentioned he didn't understand how Sam Gor's story developed. He said: "Sam Gor is a very faithful person, but in the end, how could he forget about his ex-wife and end happily with Fala? I asked the scriptwriters this question, but they said there is no reason. Then I asked how can I portray him then? Which scene will explain it?"

Myolie Wu Needs to Change her Attitude on Life

About Myolie Wu, Francis expressed although her acting has improved, he advised her that her attitude on life will cause problems. She should learn from Ron Ng. "I think she should learn to relax as well, just like Ron! I think sometimes in this industry, girls have higher expectations on their careers than guys do because they want to make accomplishments while their still young. Ten years ago, Myolie was rather anxious, but now she pressures herself because she wants to do better. She wouldn't be able to get a clear idea of other things, so she ends up not reaching the outcome she wanted to. Change is not saying you are willing to try different roles, but rather you are willing to change your thoughts on some aspects of life."

Nancy Wu Just Lacks an Opportunity

On the contrary, Francis praises Nancy Wu, who has not reached the front line yet. He said: "I think Nancy is worth to compliment. Her acting is pretty good, its just she lacks opportunities from producers. She needs a breakthrough, such as an even better role."

Can't Compare to Ron Ng

Ten years ago, Francis criticized Ron for not having his homework done. Ten years later, Francis didn't only say Myolie should learn from him, but he also felt he has areas where he can't compare to Ron. "He's good with people relation and of course his acting has improved too. Actually TITS2's role fits his personality, but some other roles may not fit him, its just TVB wants to give him different types of roles to try. I think he's changing, he's becoming a better and better fit in this industry."

The 43 episodes TITS2 is airing two episodes on September 6th, even the other series Always and Ever will have to step aside and give up its time slot on that day for TITS2. On September 8th, TITS2 will have a two-hour finale. TVB wants this series to become the highest rated series of the year, so there will be a dinner celebration with that cast that night. By then, Fala Chen will be back to help the team promote.
