Highs and Lows Promotional Event #2

Highs and Lows had another promotional event over the weekend to prepare for the airing of this series.

I just finished watching the first episode and it makes me look forward to the rest of the series. 

TVB Anniversary Dates announced

The anniversary ceremony will be held on November 19 and the award ceremony will be on December 17, which is a few days after the anniversary series ends. 

Oscar Leung, Kristal Tin, and Natalie Tong were in Malaysia to help promote TVB and their series. Oscar hopes to win the Most Improved award this year. It has been a good year for Oscar and he enjoyed many benefits such as a salary increase. After he finishes filming for A Great Way to Care 2, he will finish off the year by filming 2 movies. One of them will be another Wong Jing remake of "Young and Dangerous." He will also be preparing for a special "Tiger Cubs" performance for the anniversary with Joe Ma and his other cast mates.

To me, Oscar should definitely get the Most Improved award this year. He gained more fame through his roles in L'Escargot and Tiger Cubs and will be seen in the anniversary series, The Confidant. He has also participated in many of TVB's specials such as performances in TV Funny and the Miss Hong Kong special. He also joined Big Boys Club as one of their hosts. I would say his toughest opponent would be Him Law, but Oscar outshined him in both of the series they were in together (L'Escargot, Tiger Cubs) and he was outshined by Koo Ming Wah in Divas in Distress. 

Big Wheel Costume Fitting

Big Wheel had its costume fitting today and they are all dressed like they're back in the 90s because this series spans 20 years until it reaches present time. It will be a 30 episode grand production and they will go also be filming in Macau in November.

Producer: Amy Wong
Cast includes: Ruco Chan, Linda Chung, Kristal Tin, Louise Lee, Susan Tse, Louis Yuen, Louis Cheung, Ankie Beilke, Leanne Li, Edwin Siu, Roseanne Lui, Angelina Lo, Becky Lee, Lee Kwok Lun, Lau Kong, Chun Wong, Anthony Ho, Yvonne Ho, Yu Chi Ming, Raymond Chiu, Yeung Ying Wai, Vin Choi, Casper Chan, Akai Lee, Timothy Cheng, Au Sui Wai, Gregory Lee, CTI Ho, Adam Ip, Eddie Ho, Stephen Wong and Producer Amy Wong Sum Wai

Haha, Ruco and Edwin's hair is very 90s and it reminds me of Aaron Kwok's hair back then. Edwin replaces Moses Chan in this series so I wonder if there will be any changes to the story. This is also Louis Cheung's second series with TVB. I don't know much about him other than that he's married to Kay Tse, but I can this boosting up his popularity when the series airs. It has helped other singers who have filmed for TVB such as Niki Chow, Ella Koon, and Elanne Kong.

Highs and Lows Promotional Event

The cast of Highs and Lows (Michael Miu, Raymond Lam, Ella Koon, Kate Tsui, Ben Wong, etc.) gathered for a promotional event since their series will air soon. Check out the pictures below.

Esther Kwan and Bobby Au Yeung to reunite in series

It's official! Esther Kwan will return to TVB to film one series with Bobby Au Yeung. It will be a 30 episode drama directed by Chong Wai Kin and it will be a love story that span a thousand years. It will being in the Song Dynasty where Esther will portray a talented woman in ancient times, a 1950s big sister, and a modern day Oprah. Bobby will portray Justice Pao, a 1950s detective, and a police officer. Esther was moved by TVB's sincerity since they offered to extend the filming period (so that there is more time to relax) and will try and give them a script earlier than usual.

The series sound really interesting and I can't wait to see Bobby and Esther together in a series again!

Return of the TVB Calendar

After a 3 year break, TVB will be making a calendar for the 2013 year. I used to look forward to this every year and was sad when they decided to stop due to financial reasons. I'm not sure if it was free in Hong Kong, but it used to be free for me since I used to rent the TVB discs. They're most likely doing this again due to the upcoming competition from other stations, and this is a good way for households to think of TVB if they have a calendar hung up on their walls.

Earlier this year, they already had a big group picture for the cover and now they are starting on the months.

January's theme will be a New Year's party atmosphere with Raymond Lam, Bosco Wong, Linda Chung, Kate Tsui, and Aimee Chan.
February will be a red festive color theme with Michael Miu, Roger Kwok, Michael Tse, Fala Chen, and Tavia Yeung.
The upcoming months have not been announced yet but I would expect the people in the first 2 rows to be seen in the various months.

Miss Hong Kong theme which would include: Sonjia Kwok, Tracy Ip, Carat Cheung, and Toby Chan. Since Kate and Aimee are already in January, other former winners they might include in this month would be Shirley Yeung and Rebecca Zhu. (Not confirmed)
April: Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Chris Lai, Vincent Wong, Him Law, and Edwin Siu (rugged dirt theme?)
Another month: Myolie Wu, Moses Chan, Wayne Lai, Kevin Cheng
Another month: Mandy Wong, Nancy Wu, Sharon Chan, Kristal Tin, Selena Li, Christine Kuo- rooftop setting with elegant gowns
August: Eliza Sam, Natalie Tong, Samantha Ko, Sire Ma, Vivien Yeo
