Apple Daily TVB Awards Poll

Apple Daily took a small poll on the favorites to win this year's TVB awards and Myolie Wu and Kevin Cheng won their categories for TVB king and queen for their roles on Ghetto Justice. The rest of the order for the guys is Kenneth Ma, Bosco Wong, Raymond Lam, and then Michael Tse. For the females, Linda Chung takes 2nd place with only half of Myolie's votes and I don't think anyone else comes close to these 2.

What's interesting is that they were both criticized in 2006. People thought that Kevin unfairly got the TVB Actor award while Myolie's performance in War and Destiny got a lot of negative feedback. Their luck has now changed with the audience on their side and they would probably be happy if they were crowned king and queen.

I agree with these results and would be very happy if this happens.

Forensic Heroes 3 (Episodes 1-5 Thoughts)

When I first heard that they were going to make a Forensic Heroes series without Bobby AuYeung, I didn't really mind since Wayne Lai is one of my favorite actors. I would read complaints on how much it was going to suck since they weren't going to use the old cast. I didn't think it was that big of a deal since one of my favorite series is Detective Investigations 4 and it was a totally different story than the first 3 installments. Also, I was afraid that they would kill off Yoyo if they were to make a part 3 like how they killed off Linda's character!

Anyways, I was hoping that I could enjoy this series on its own, but as I was watching it, I couldn't help but miss the old cast! The introduction of the characters was just so boring. They're all shown within the first few minutes and they are all friends already, which would be realistic, but since this is a show, it makes for a very blah beginning. It makes me not care so much about their relationships since I don't see how any of it is developed. The structure of the show is the same with all the cases but the forensic specialists seem to be more involved know-it-alls while the cops seem a little dumb. I guess they wanted to show that the forensic people are the brains while cops are the brawn?

Here are some more gripes I have so far (SPOILERS)

• Kate ripping the earbuds away from Cilla Kung in the interrogation room. That seems like it's crossing a boundary considering that she was not exactly a suspect.
• Why are all the cops so young? Also, I would think a madam would be more authoritative?
• The use of all those tablets are a little distracting. I just didn't realize that the police dept has that big of a budget.
• I feel that either Wayne or Maggie should have been a cop while Ron or Kate should be a forensic specialist. Actually, I don't think the cast as a whole has that much chemistry right now.

I know I have a lot of complaints but it is getting a little more interesting now that we see Nancy Wu appear. I hope the show gets better and I get less irritated watching it. haha

5 Beauties of TVB

It's no secret that TVB is trying to promote the following five fadans as the new front line female artists. Of the five, I think Myolie, Tavia, and Linda are the better actresses while Fala and Kate are not quite there yet. To me, they still need that one good role to blow people away. I do like all of them and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Myolie Wu

Myolie is probably my favorite actress. She first gained attention as the mentally challenged girl in Golden Faith and the sweet girl in Triumph in the Skies which propelled her to leading actress status. I love most of her series, and although her acting seemed to be stagnant a few years ago, I think she bounced back this past year in The Rippling Blossom and Ghetto Justice.
Favorite Series: War of In Laws, Survivor's Law, Rippling Blossom
Least Favorite: The Gateau Affairs

Tavia Yeung

At first, I only liked her in ancient roles because she has a very elegant flair about her, but then I was blown away by her crying scene in Yummy Yummy. She finally got the acclaim she deserved in Moonlight Resonance where she won Best Supporting Actress. To me, she should have won Best Actress that year. I don't get how they considered her supporting but Michelle Yim as leading even though it seemed like she had less screen time.
Favorite Series: Sweetness in the Salt
Least Favorite: Mystery of Love

Linda Chung

I actually became more of a fan of hers when her albums came out. She had some really catchy songs! Acting wise, I think she has a lot of potential.
Favorite Series: Heart of Greed
Least Favorite: Moonlight Resonance

Kate Tsui

She gets a lot of cop roles- I think this is mainly due to her "chok" image. I hope TVB gives her more other roles though. I like her but I never really care for the characters she plays.
Favorite Series: The Four
Least Favorite: Beauty of the Game

Fala Chen

I think Fala is the most conventionally beautiful of the five. She gets a lot of roles in grand productions but I don't think she can pull off a series on her own just yet. She just needs to work on her enunciation but I do see her getting there in a few years.
Favorite Series: Grace Under Fire
Least Favorite: Links to Temptation

Myolie Wu "I Will Always Love You"

Myolie sang a few songs for a concert in Malaysia and one of them was the classic Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston song, "I Will Always Love You". I think she did a really good job considering how hard this song is to sing, and she definitely improved on her singing.

Myolie Wu at the Venice Film Festival

Hi! I haven't made any posts in a long time but I'll try my best to do some more updates again. Here's a slideshow of pictures of Myolie Wu at the Venice Film Festival. She was there to promote Life Without Principal, in which she has a supporting role.

Myolie on JSG

The video is a little out of sync with the audio to me, but she sounds great! Interesting to see that Patrick Tang seems to be hosting JSG now...

Raymond Lam- JSG

Raymond Lam recently won JSG's Asia Pacific Most Popular Male Singer award and there was some controversy due to the music companies' boycotts and how awards are only distributed to those who attend. I see this point but awards also should not be distributed by seniority. Raymond did seem to have a great music year since he had a successful album and concert. I don't live in Hong Kong so I can't guage how popular each male artist is, but when I order my chinese music online, his cd and dvd is always near the top of the bestsellers list. Watching the clip also made me tear up for him and he doesn't deserve the backlash that he has been getting, especially for something he had no control over.

Michelle Ye's birthday video

Even though Michelle left TVB a few years ago, people were able to get a few TVB stars to wish her a happy birthday in this clip. I remember that Myolie and Michelle were really good friends, especially while filming Triumph in the Skies. I don't know how close they are right now, especially since their filming schedules would make it hard for them to keep in touch, but it's still sweet to see Myolie wish her a happy birthday.

Myolie ringing in the New Year

Her wishes for the New Year: (I can't wait to watch their series!)
