• Him Law will be in a love triangle w/ Nancy & Rebecca [b4, i thot he was only w/ Nancy]
• Fala is from England

haha..ya..that's about it..but have u guys noticed that Fala's uniform is different from Chilam's, Francis's, & Kenneth's? but she has the same one as Him Law..so does that mean she's like a newcomer kinda..like at the same level as Him Law? And then Francis will kinda teach her and stuff...and then they get together? haha..idk..im looking fwd. 2 seeing some Him Law & Fala scenes :) haha..and some Ronla scenes, obv...haha..Ron & Fala haven't been in any dramas together..none that i kno of..and same w/ Him Law & Fala..again..none that i kno of..

TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2-THOUGHTS

ok..ya..u guys already kno i dont really like the couples..and the whole resemblance thing..and ya..lol.. well, remember how i said the cast seemed pretty awkward and lacking chemistry @ the press conference? well, i guess im wrong..after watching the video 4 the blessing ceremony, it turns out that Chilam & Francis have actually known each other 4 quite awhile..and they seemed like friends..haha..this probably doesnt count..but Myolie & Fala shared a scene in TV Funny..in episode 1, i just saw a preview..like the part where Myolie is the hairstylist and Fala is the make up artist..ya..well, im hoping there's some sparks will develop and produce a good drama..ok..since i didnt get the pairings i wanted [lol..i sound bratty] i kinda want/hope there'll b stuff like Myolie & Fala being good friends..and since Myolie & Chilam are siblings, maybe Myolie can be like the middle man and stuff between them..haha... and maybe like Nancy can be part of the group 2..haha...ok before the blessing ceremony, i was hoping that Fala & Him Law would share some scenes together as like siblings or sumthing..but they have different last names in the drama..so i guess not :P also, Him Law will be in a love triangle [another one?!] w/ Nancy Wu & Rebecca Zhu...ya..Nancy's probably gunna get the guy..wich i want..but still..can't they just b a normal non-triangle love pair? also, Myolie has to cut her hair..which she doesn't really want to as she has been growing it out for awhile..but she's still professional..so she's doing it..but i feel her pain..haha...it takes forever [4 me] to grow my hair out..

NEWS

ok..just some major stuff i remember off the top of my head..

• Him Law & Tavia Yeung's Trip to Korea-haha..they said the two were missing from that huge group photo..and when the reporters asked Him Law, he didn't deny it..haha..they're like 7? years apart w/ Tavia being older..but i don't mind them as a couple..haha..well, i liked them in THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH :P
• 300-something TVB Artistes Gather for a Group Photo-haha..im not really sure what it was for..but :P..so like u guys kno how usually, the artistes that are more..popular..i guess..are on the right side..ya..well, like Linda moved to the right side..haha..idk..i just saw a comment on that..ya..haha..so like im assuming the 'order' from 'highest to lowest' for the fadans is: Myolie, Fala, Linda, then Kate? well, idk where Tavia would go: before or after Fala? im not really surprised at the positions of the artistes..cuz like no one really said it..but like in the beginning, Linda was above Fala..and then they were kinda the same level..and then now, after the race for TV Queen with Myolie, Fala's like the 2nd highest? haha..idk..of the 5 fadans, i guess Kate & Fala are like more popular..not necessarily amongst the audience..but more like w/ the producers and stuff..cuz they're always casted in like Grand Productions..and they're like really promoted..well, maybe not Kate..but yes for Fala..haha..as for Linda & Tavia, both do well in the 'non grand productions' they still shine..and then Myolie, idk..im still not used to her..like as in she was missing from the TV screen for a while..then she comes back out..and idk..idk how to describe her..but ya..lol..like well, she's always in mainland..idk..lol..but i always think of Kevin Cheng when people mention her..
• WITNESS INSECURITY'S Complaints-it was the one about the cat throwing scene..haha..i thought it was pretty WOW..lol..idk if ive mentioned this topic before..haha..but im 2 lazy to look back..so..why not? lol..anyways..i was surprised..lol...i had to replay it 2 make sure i saw the right thing..lol..but it's not something i would complain about..i mean like i dont hate or like it..it's just..there..lol..im just surprised at TVB's new ways..lol..i actually thought they used a real cat until i read the news..lol..im so stupid..haha..
• Bosco Wong is Forced to Make Way for Kevin Cheng-so im not sure if this is true..but... WITNESS INSECURITY, originally 30 episodes, has been moved to 29...b/c TVB wanted to air GHETTO JUSTICE 2...and they wanted 2 air GHETTO JUSTICE 2 b/c of something like the Olympics affecting the ratings..and they didnt wunna do that to Kevin Cheng..so they just cut out parts from WITNESS INSECURITY..so many of Bosco's dangerous action scenes, scenes that he refused to use a stunts double for, scenes that he insisted on doing himself, scenes that he risked his life for, were cut..ya..at first it didn't seem like a big deal..but then, i saw the part where Bosco's action scenes were cut..and then i felt bad for him..but idk if this is true..im not really clear with the whole TVB has/does not have the right to broadcast the Olympics...lol..idk..
• TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2-Press Conference-ok..ya..before the press con., i thought there was still hope for Ronla..but apparently not...so sad :( lol..i watched the video..and ya..the cast didn't seem to have much chem...like Fala sat with Elena..and not Myolie..so it's kinda awkward..also, Francis & Chilam seemed kinda awkward..but Kenneth & Ron were like quite happy & had some chem...like Ron's usually not exactly the life of the party in interviews...haha..but this time, he and Kenneth were..i know this probably isn't going to happen, but i wunna c Myolie & Fala play good friends or sumthing..i just hope the cast develops some chem like ASAP..otherwise, the ratings aren't gunna b too pretty...and the sponsors won't be all that happy either..ya..i just don't want their lack of chemistry to weigh down the drama..lol..i could literally feel the awkwardness when i was watching the video..

TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2-UPDATES

hey guys..so here r sum updates for the upcoming drama, TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2:

-Fala's character will be involved in a love triangle with Francis & Chilam. Chilam will resemble Fala's deceased ex-boyfriend.
-Myolie will play a new character+her old character, Zoe,[probably in flashbacks]. She'll be involved in a relationship with Ron's character, Isaac. Ron, however, is quite reluctant to be in a relationship with a girl resembling his ex-sister-in-law[b/c Myolie's character,Zoe, was married to Francis in the first installment]
-Elena Kong & Kenneth Ma will be in a older sister-younger brother relationship
-Him Law & Nancy Wu will pair up
-old character will be resuming their roles [except for Myolie who's character has passed away] umm..but i think Kenneth & Ron will be promoted
-Toby Leung & Stephen Huynh will be a pair


noooo!! tvb killed Ronla again!!!! :( w8...does that mean Fala's role is more 'female lead' than Myolie? b/c like Fala is paired up with like the 'senior' actors..not saying Ron isn't good..but Francis & Chilam are like on a different level..anyways..lol..im always the most interested in the romantic relationships..haha..i dont really like the Elena-Kenneth pair..but i like both of them like as individuals..Him Law & Nancy Wu will be pretty refreshing..but Him Law seems a bit young to be pairing w/ Nancy....but i don't mind that pair..i dont really kno about Toby Leung & Stephen Huynh..lol..never imagined them as a pair..well, ive never imagined the Kenneth-Elena pairing/the Him-Nancy pairing..ahh!!! tvb, u messed up all my wished pairings!!!!!!! lol..well, i like how they're traveling to Europe..this is so sad..im never gunna get over this..lol...tvb killed Ronla again!! haha..i also dont like how they make Fala's boyfriend die..& have Chilam resemble him..& have Francis's wife die..and have Myolie represent her..no creativity there whatsoever..i mean like ya i get that they feel the same way..and that they're experiencing similar pain and all..but c'mon..lol..im being extra mean 2day..im just letting out my anger..lol...b/c i had my hopes up for a Ronla pairing but noooo...tvb just decided to go like 'no..im not gunna give u wut u want..'..but honestly, speaking from a non-Ronla fan, a normal tvb audience member's point of view, these pairings don't match!!! only like Fala & Chilam..Myolie & Ron..kinda awk..but i guess it could still pass..but Fala & Francis? Kenneth & Elena? Him & Nancy don't really match..but they can still pass..lol..

TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2-CAST UPDATE

TVB grand production Triumph in the Skies II (TITS2) is scheduled to start shooting in July. The 3 lead actors are Francis Ng, Chilam Cheung and Ron Ng. It was said rising Siu Sang Him Law joins the cast and takes on a significant role. Although Him is an artist under Filmko and not one of TVB’s ‘biological sons’, in the recent year, he's still heavily favored by the company and appears in one series after another.

Earlier Him was involved in the Lau Sing Ding's nude photo scandal. At first, Him lied and said he didn't know him, but it was later discovered that he actually met Lau a few years ago. Following last year’s incident where ex-girlfriend Theresa Fu exposed he was a four-timer and even beats her, Him’s damaged image deepens after this scandal. Fortunately his work at TVB was not affected and the company strongly supported him by casting him in several series post-scandal including Tiger Cubs, the just completed A Chip off the Old Block II, currently shooting Seasons of Love and will be joining the cast of TITS2, which starts in July. Also, it was said Him’s role is going to be quite significant. Nine years ago, aside from lead actors Francis Ng and Joe Ma, the S4 (Ron Ng, Bosco Wong, Kenneth Ma and Sammul Chan) gained much recognition and popularity and later went on developing a successful solo career. This time TVB arranges Him to be part of TITS2, the purpose is obviously to help him clean his public image. Him had always been seen as TVB's 'godson', and TITS2's producer Joe Chan admits Him is part of the cast. As to his role, it was will be announced later; Elena Kong is joins the cast as well. 

Recently Ron Ng's fans were outraged by their idol's injustice, and attacked every discussion forum stating that TVB is demoting Ron. Producer Joe Chan is unsure of Ron's fans complaints, but he reassures fans, that Ron definitely has the leading role in TITS2 and takes up heavy screen time. He has not been demoted. 

In regards to the Sales Presentation, where the initial TITS2 cast included Raymond Lam, Bosco Wong and Kate Tsui, the producer said the sales presentation casting is not official. Currently there are three lead actors Francis, Chilam and Ron; The lead actresses are Myolie Wu and Fala Chen. The cast is excellent.

Yay!!!!! lol..so happy 2 hear Him Law join the cast!! grand production 4 him!!!! Also, i would like 2 c the chemistry between the artistes..it's really refreshing...mixing in new artistes..along with members of the prequel...sad to hear that Bosco, Raymond, and Kate dropped out...so as of now, i think the cast consists of: Chilam Cheung, Francis Ng, Myolie Wu, Fala Chen, Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Sammul Chan [he's a maybe...probably just rumors..so ignore that], Him Law, Nancy Wu, Rebecca Zhu, MC Jin..etc..also really happy 2 hear Ron get a big role! :D hope there'll be Rola!!! :D <3 before, when Kate and Raymond and everyone else was in this grand production, i started noticing that they added all of the fadans except for Linda and Tavia...and ya..started noticing some more that Linda and Tavia weren't in any grand productions in recent years..but producers still love to have them lead in 'less grand' productions..just thought i'd throw that out there...

STATUS UPDATE

hey..even though i haven't updated this blog 4 like the past month or so, i've still been reading the news...and here r some of my thoughts on some recent headlines

Sonija Gives Birth to a 6 lbs. Baby Girl
Congrats 2 Sonija and her family!! Her daughter is really cute :D Miss seeing her on TV...used 2 [and still do] love her...she's a good actress with solid foundation..and she has the looks..she can take on any roles too...

Lau Ding Sing's Scandalous Photo Album
ok..that's not really the exact headline..but w/e...i havent really read the articles..but it's just when im scrolling down, i happen to see the headlines..and i read some of the comments and stuff..ok..i dont have anything against homosexuals..but err...this just kinda grossed me out..anyways..not the point..the point is, he's ruining the careers of many rising stars...[esp. Him Law] he's like #1 on the list...and he's not stopping...many artistes have been trying to build up both their career and their reputation for many years..but with one mistake, they can lose everything they've ever worked for...it's kinda like a life lesson.. anyways, i dont really care if the male artistes took the photos or anything...b/c it's not like im going 2 become friends or anything with them...im just here to see them act...i mean if one of my friends did it or anything, i would find it gross i guess...but i dont really care if the artistes did it....maybe they weren't thinking at the moment..but my point is, everyone makes mistakes..forgive and forget...

TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2
ok..i read the news article, and i didnt really learn anything..b/c most of the stuff was like repeated from previous articles...except for the fact that Sammul Chan MAY come back 4 TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2..not sure yet...anyways..idk if i've said this b4..but Bosco & Raymond won't be filming it due 2 schedule conflicts...and i think Flora Chan will be in it..along with Chilam and Francis...though it may not be beneficial to the artistes, i would have actually liked the cast to be: Flora, Francis, Chilam, Myolie, Fala, Raymond, Bosco, Kate, Ron, Kenneth, Rebecca, etc...all artistes would have reduced screentime, but it would really be a grand production...w/ a grand cast :) unfortunately, that wont happen..but o well...more screentime for Ron..it's not that i favor him over the other artistes or anything..just that his popularity kinda declined...and really want him to make a 'comeback' and be back up there with Bosco and Raymond :D

Otto Chan's Proposal
lol..honestly, i wouldn't have talked about this b/c he's not one of those really popular artistes..but really liked his role in GLOVES COME OFF...so :P congrats 2 him..the wedding is in October with Tisha Law, Law Lok Lam's daughter...never seen her before..but congrats :)

Jason Chan Leads in New Series with Linda Chung
I think it's the sumthing Ferris Wheel drama...not really sure..but wow..that was kind of an all of a sudden thing...he went from lead in sitcoms to lead in an actual series...it just kinda surprised me b/c he didn't really go through the 'supporting actor' role yet..so i think he's being promoted a little 2 fast...but then again, the series isn't really like a grand production and the only first line artiste is Linda...so im guessing the series will be focused on Linda 90% of the time..also, i think Raymond Lam's cousin is in the series..I think...i think [judging from pictures], that they both fight for Jason Chan in the series..lol..to be honest, Jason Chan was once one of my 'obsessions'..lol..and he has the looks...when i watched BE HOME FOR DINNER..lol..only like the first 4 episodes..well, he's given the opportunity..and not many artistes get that..so hope he cherishes this chance and gives the audience a good performance..even though he hasn't ever lead in a series before, i think he has the ability to :) good luck to him!

Linda Chung's Groaning in HOUSE OF HARMONY AND VENGEANCE
i happened to watch this scene...and honestly, i was like 'OMG...so nooottt 'Linda'...lol..well, i just found it different from her other roles..kinda a minor breakthrough for her...i guess..but it was well done..she acted it out well...lol..though it was kinda like..awkward watching it..lol..i was like 'umm..ok..how long is this scene going to last o.O,' i was still able to see her good acting skill...in the parts i've watched so far, i find Linda's character more prominent in the series..compared to Myolie's...but then, it's just the role that they've given her..so it's not Myolie's fault...anyways, im not sure if the 'Netizens' comments were considered positive or negative...but i really don't find anything wrong with that scene..lol..except for the awkwardness..but that's not the point...well done, Linda :D

TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2 FILMING DELAYED

The soul of TVB's grand production Triumph in the Skies II, Francis Ng, runs the show. Francis is already in his 40s and is still making a fuss. He finally agreed to be part of TITS2 for HK$80,000 per episode, but brought along a lot of 'headaches'. It was understood that for Francis' return to his maternal home (TVB) to 'help out', he would only do it on one condition, that is TVB has to accommodate his schedule. He wants to finish up his new film Du Yuesheng 杜月笙 with Chow Yun Fat before he makes his comeback. As a result, TITS was forced to push back its initial schedule from June to sometime in September. Even the Siu Sangs and FaDans including Myolie Wu, Fala Chen and Raymond Lam had to modify their entire schedule to accommodate him. 

TVB planned to shoot a sequel to the 2003 popular hit Triumph in the Skies, but unfortunately after 9 years we are seeing less and less of the original cast. Flora Chan and Michelle Yip are already out, Bosco Wong is shooting in Mainland, Sammul Chan and Joe Ma left TVB and became 'traitors'. Although the sequel added Chilam Cheung, Fala Chen and Raymond Lam into the cast, but they still cannot compare to the handsome pilot Francis Ng, the 'soul' of the series. 

It was understood that in the recent year Francis has been doing quite well in his career and hopes to continue the good luck in both the film and TV scene. An insider exposes: "TVB makes a hero through time. TVB accommodates everything for Francis, making him so cocky! Initially he said he's not going to shoot TITS2 at all, but then he saw an opportunity to take a beautiful spot, so he suddenly changes his mind. He even wanted two in one, asking the entire crew to accommodate his schedule. The most unexpected is TVB agreed, so the schedule all changed. He really played Chilam Cheung to the ground, who thought he would be leading! The Siu Sang and FaDans, don't have it any better because their schedules were initially already pretty tight, and now it's all confusion. TVB quickly made arrangements for them to shoot a modern series to pass the time (from June - Sept)." 

TVB production director Tommy Leung confessed: "We are accommodating Francis' schedule and delaying the start date a little. We are mutually accommodating the schedules, don't say the whole world is relying on him, such negative news." 

Myolie Wu: "I received internal notice, but I'm not too sure of the reason. Even if the whole world is accommodating Francis, that is not a problem, he's really a Film King. I'm just worried we can't shoot it. I heard I'll first start with a modern series, TVB will make the arrangements." 

Fala Chen and Kenneth Ma were both clueless. Fala said: "All along it had been said we are starting in May, I don't know! Is this true or false?" Kenneth said: "Why is it like this? But, shooting series had always been about the scheduling, mutual accommodations. I'm already very happy to be able to participate in a grand production. It's fine to accommodate a little."

*sighz* delayed...again! i kno this time, it's not TVB's fault...but still...ugh!! this isn't what i hope for...but...i don't really think the series will even start filming this year...also, wud love 2 c all these artistes act out such a great drama...but some are probably going 2 get cut...b/c pretty much all the first line artistes are going 2 act in this one...unless TVB really makes something out of this...plus, there's two 'seniors'...Francis Ng & Chilam  Cheung [if they agree to film this]...plus a whole line of fadans & siu sangs...Raymond Lam, Ron Ng, Bosco Wong, Kenneth Ma, Kate Tsui, Myolie Wu, Fala Chen...and Nancy Wu...she's like not a first line artiste..but she's a pretty high level supporting actress nowadays...but i really do hope they can all participate in this drama...and hopefully make it a legit grand production...w/o decreasing the roles of TVB's first line artistes to supporting artistes...
