The Day of Days Official Poster

This is the international version of the official poster, which should be about the same when TVB releases it.

This series just finished shooting not too long ago and this will be Sonjia's first series since having her baby and Sunny's first after his year long break from filming. 

Inbound Troubles Official Poster

This series will debut on January 14th. I'm mainly excited for this series because it will be Joey Meng's debut with TVB. Also, there are some new faces to their series such as singers Ivana Wang and Louis Cheung. Wong Cho Lam also had a hand in writing the screenplay for this series. 

Flashback

I was watching an old series from 2001 called Seven Sisters (starring Gallen Lo, Charmaine Sheh, Anne Heung, and Kong Wah) when I recognized a few other faces. Below is a young Kenneth Ma, Raymond Chiu, and Tsui Wing who had a tiny role in the series with only a few lines each. It's so weird watching older series and recognizing the people who are now bigger stars.

Triumph In The Skies 2 China Press Conference

Kenneth Ma, Myolie Wu, and Fala Chen were at the China International Film & TV Programs Exhibition to promote their upcoming series, Triumph in the Skies 2.

Triumph in the Skies 2 Unofficial Poster

There will be a press conference for Triumph in the Skies 2 at the China International Film & TV Programs Exhibition with Myolie Wu, Kenneth Ma, and Fala Chen in attendance. I don't think the below poster is going to be the official poster since it's rumored to be released as an anniversary series but they needed to put together something for the exhibition. However, these 6 are the main stars of the series with Francis, Ron, Myolie, and Kenneth returning from the original and Chilam and Fala being added. 

Kate and Raymond Celebrate The Holdiays

Good friends Kate Tsui and Raymond Lam gathered to take some holiday pictures and talked about the Christmas plans. Kate has 2 days off to celebrate with friends and family and she hopes to receive more jobs so that she can buy a house. Raymond will continue to film a series in Mainland and then will prepare for his upcoming concert so he will not have time to celebrate with family.

Come Home Love Celebration Dinner

The Assistant Manager took out the cast of Come Home Love for a celebration dinner for its steady ratings and positive feedback. 

Tsui Yu On said that he was pleasantly surprised by some of the actors which include Eileen Yeow, Griselda Yeung (Tavia's sister), and Max Cheung (ex-boyfriend of Best Host Luisa Leitao who she openly thanked in her speech).

I really like this series as well. I enjoy these sitcoms because it would give a chance for some stars to shine in their own storylines and lead their own episodes. They recently extended the series to 300 episodes. The only problem with that is that they tend to extend the romantic storylines and it doesn't seem like anyone would get together until the very end! I'm still waiting for Chris Lai & Queenie Chu to start liking each other since they're supposed to be a couple and Florence Kwok and Carlo Ng needs to get together already! 

TVB Weekly Magazine Cover

After Wayne Lai and Tavia Yeung's win this year at the TVB awards, they graced the cover of TVB Weekly. They both look really nice, although from this picture, you can't really tell that Wayne is sitting so Tavia just looks a lot taller than him. haha.

Unrequited Love Twins Costume Filming

Unrequited Love Twins had their costume filming today and the cast includes Ruco Chan, Aimee Chan, Lin Xia Wei, Tony Hung, Samantha Ko, Benz Hui, Elaine Yiu, Mat Yeung and Mary Hon.
Mat and Lin Xia will play siblings. They will be going on location to Malaysia to film some scenes.

I wasn't even aware that they were going to have their costume fitting today. This series does not look appealing to me at all. I like Ruco but other than Big Wheel with Linda, he seems to get cast in the most boring looking series. Maybe it'll surprise me though.

Power Chan Ad

Although Power Chan recently lost the Best Supporting Actor award, he still gained a lot of fame and recognition for his role in The Confidant. He was recently tapped to be the spokesperson for a product so it's nice to see that he is being rewarded in other ways. Go Power! I hope you can win an award soon! 

TVB Winners Celebrate

Best Supporting Actress Nancy Wu, Best Supporting Actor Koo Ming Wah, Most Improved Male Oscar Leung, and Most Improved Female Mandy Wong celebrated their win together at a Japanese restaurant in Tsim Tsa Tsui. They were joined by many friends and family who helped celebrate such as Felix Wong and Myolie Wu.

Artist's choice on TVB Awards

The annual TVB awards are less than 24 hours away and Three Weekly compiled a list of 40 artists on their choices for Best Actor/Actress and Best Supporting Actor/Actress. I actually can't make out all the names since it's kind of small, but you can easily make out the winners for each category.

• Wayne Lai and Michelle Yim got the most votes for Best Actor/Actress. Not to take away anything from their votes (especially since I thought Wayne was fantastic in The Confidant), I notice that a lot of artists tend to choose the veteran actors. It could be because they really think they're the best, but I also think that it's just an "easier" choice for them since they don't have to pick between their friends.
• Power Chan and Koo Ming Wah both had the most (and same amount) of votes for Best Supporting Actor. Nancy Wu's name is actually on there for both of them. This is a tough category because I think a lot of people would want them both to receive this award.
• Nancy Wu had the most votes for Best Supporting Actress. Will she be able to sweep the awards this year since she already won at the Astro and Asian TV awards?
• Moses and Aimee voted for each other in their respective categories.
• For some reason, they only show Tavia's vote for herself but not in the other categories? She has stated that she will be voting for Kenneth for Best Actor.
• Sharon Chan posted on her weibo her votes for Kenneth and Tavia.
• Last year's Best Actress, Myolie Wu, picked Kenneth, Tavia, Koo Ming Wah, and Nancy.

This is actually not a very good list because it's not 40 of the same people showing their votes. It seems like they just filled each category until they got to 40 votes. Previous years had better lists, and TVB Weekly usually did one also. There was also one done by reporters last year in which they asked 50 TVB artists on their picks and it actually reflected the real results in which Kevin, Myolie, Ben Wong, and Sharon Chan won. 

Read below for my final predictions before the awards air later.

Lisa Magazine Photo Shoot

Myolie Wu recently won an award for Top Ten Outstanding Dressed. 2012 was a good year for her since she received a lot of awards in China and she was also able to purchase her dream home.

Big Bowl Feast Dinner

Around 2000 TVB artists and employees gathered last night to have Poon Choi or a Big Bowl Feast dinner with the executives. Some of the artists that attended include Roger Kwok, Wayne Lai, Moses Chan, Myolie Wu, Sharon Chan and many others including Kate Tusi who showed up with a megaphone to canvass for votes. There were also many drawings to give away electronic products, travel certificates, cameras, crystal trinkets, and many other gifts.

It seems like they all had a lot of fun and had a feeling of "togetherness" at this dinner. Ever since Norman Leung took over, I feel like they are doing a better job at boosting morale. Small gestures such as a group dinner really does make a difference, and he has also promised them bonuses and a salary increase next year. In addition, they are working towards a 5-day work week. :)

Sniper Attack 2013 Costume Fitting

Sniper Attack 2013 Costume Fitting

The cast includes Eddie Cheung, Michael Tse, Kate Tsui, Alice Chan, Eliza Sam, Nathan Ngai, Kaki Cheung, and Kathy Chow who did not attend today.




I'm excited for this series because of the Eddie, Michael, Kathy, Kate, and Alice cast combo and I liked what I saw in the sales presentation. It reminded me of the old ATV series, Gun and Glory, with the bullet manipulations.

This will be Kate's 5th time portraying a cop.

Christine Ng- War and Beauty 2

Christine Ng just finished recording the theme song for War and Beauty 2! I'm pleasantly surprised only because I thought they would go with a professional singer, and that I didn't think they valued Christine so much that they would give her this big opportunity. However, I do realize that TVB does treat her very well. After a year long absence to take care of her business, she returned with her own game show (w/ Louis Yuen) and was given leading roles in War & Beauty 2 as well as the upcoming series with Wayne Lai and Moses Chan.

Check out her old MV below.
