Michael Miu is a molester, shocking even Maggie Cheung!!
No, not really. (LOL.) I think it’s obvious the hand we’re watching is indeed that of our leading actor, but the front and rear he’s touching are not really of Joey Mak, who is in reality rather small and flat-chested. In both cases, I’m guessing the victim is a man. It would be extremely awkward if that was truly a woman, horrendously awkward. One could argue that it is Joey and she agreed to perform the scene herself, sacrificing her body for art and being professional. But I doubt her co-stars and the crew would allow such a thing, evident in the last segment where Michael only hovered his hand an inch from her chest. Whichever, this NG clip is hilarious and I definitely look forward to seeing the completed scene.
When I was a kid and watched television only for fun, I thought television work was easy. I thought actors and actresses had an easy, rich everyday life. They get on set, sit around, say a few lines, and get pay big bucks. I didn’t know jack about filming, and definitely had no clue actors could have bad takes (NG). Even when I became more knowledgeable, I didn’t care about how actors did on set or how many takes they went through before making the director’s cut. Even when I became a drama freak, I still didn’t care, not until I was exposed to NG clips from War and Destiny. I realized at that point, as a fan, audience, and outsider to the industry, that one could learn a lot from watching NG clips. Whether it’s a certain artist’s personality or professionalism, the relationships among the actors and actresses, or an artist’s acting ability, anything can be exposed through an NG clip.
Here, I present to you NG clips from Beauty of the Game of two artists, in which I think the gap in their acting abilities is obvious. On the top is the pageant winner, whether in real life or crafted fiction, Kate Tsui and her amusing twirling scene. On the bottom is the short but spunky, hot favorite comedian Wong Cho Lam and his passionate water dumping scene. Let’s see how they fare!
Did you know that in pre-modern Hong Kong, people played “rat-minton” using soup ladles? Doesn’t it look like so much fun?! Then, they dip the ladles back into the huge pot of soup they’re going to sell and make huge profits after introducing stomach hurricanes to their customers. But the customers aren’t really the ones suffering. Not at all. It’s the poor rodent that unintentionally hopped onto the table and gets thrown across the road. He escapes a stream of boiling water, only to fall upon a pit of burning flames. Lucky for him, he is saved by his worst enemy–a cage. He lost his freedom yet is able to keep his life. Maybe he’s not so unfortunate after all …
A Chip Off the Old Block, you are now on my watch list. Congratulations.
Let Linda Chung be Mark (Andrew Lincoln), some random TVB kelefe be Juliet (Keira Knightley) and some other random TVB kelefe be Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor), change the setting to Halloween instead of Christmas, write a few different phrases but leave in the most important one, and we get a "conceptual rendition," for my lack of a better word, of Love Actually. If you might recall, a similar event occurred in La Femme Desperado between Chai Foon (Raymond Lam) and Chi Ling (Melissa Ng). Nevertheless, Ah Foon was smart enough to not use the exact same quote, "To me, you are perfect."
So I ask, can’t you be more original TVB? Is it really THAT hard? While I am at it, I ask whether Linda know about this? According to an On.cc article, all she said was she never saw the movie and only followed the director’s directions. (That’s what all other artists do too, right?) SERIOUSLY? Any intelligent director, any intelligent artist, any intelligent crew member would do some research before filming. Or am I asking for too much?
In addition, if you’re going to copy something, do a good job at it. Don’t film an unrequited lovey-dovey piece of garbage that can’t even manage to pull a heartstring!
While I’m procrastinating from finishing my take-home exam and browsing YouTube instead, I chanced upon a beautiful video sketch by darwin9090 of Tavia as Kam Ling in Beyond the Realm of Conscience. Although I think the sketch could use more work, the resemblance to Tavia is about 85-90% and the accessories are very well drawn. There is also a video sketch of Charmaine Sheh as Sam Ho as well as other TVB artists.
Take a look. You will be amazed and possibly inspired, as I am to take out my own sketchbook.
I jumped onto the TVB Channel at YouTube just now and watched the funniest and cutest NG clip from Beyond the Realm of Conscience yet. Lee Kwok Lun is so adorable! I agree with one of the comments left for that clip. Lee Kwok Lun appears to be very different from his evil and ambitious character in Beyond, or rather, any of his other roles that I’ve seen. TVB generally typecasts him as the villain or as the annoying, loud, and ornery person, which Lee has nailed really well in all of his roles. However, this limits his ability and versatility as an actor. Based on this clip, I would love to see Lee play a down-to-earth, loving husband or father, and I strongly believe he could be just as good as Paul Chun.
On a lighter note, Kevin Cheng protecting himself in the last 2-3 seconds of the clip also triggered my crazy laughing mode. That made my day.
