Stars on Weibo 18

Ever heard of Twitter? If you haven’t, I don’t know what to do with you. :P

Ever heard of Weibo? If you haven’t, now you have. And that’s what I’m going to introduce, spazz about for the next 980+ words.

For the longest time (since Twitter started), I’ve continued to dream that TVB artists would get tweeting because I wanted to know them better through themselves, not through the media. But alas, not too many joined and Bernice Liu is probably the only active, remaining tweeter. The reason is probably because Twitter got banned in China. Although I don’t get how that affects Hong Kong, I assume it’s because most artists travel often and don’t want to face the hassle of getting an external application. Nevertheless, my prayers didn’t go to waste, THANK YOU Sina.

An Analysis of TVB Cliques

An Analysis of TVB Cliques 6

I’m sure many of you have already heard about the corruption fiasco surrounding Stephen Chan, who was the host of Be My Guest and General Manager (GM) of TVB. If you have not, please read the news here. I did not plan on posting anything about this since the news have been spreading 1000 mph around the internet highway. But more news seem to pop up everyday regarding this matter and involving more artists and opinions. In addition, I think as TVB fans, it’s important to be aware of what’s going on with the company, even if it’s not as great as it used to be. The whole situation also makes for some very interesting business/political drama. And who knows? You might get more insight into what’s really going on behind-the-scenes, how the company is treating your favorite artists, or even where the brighter/darker future of the company may be.

What I’m posting here is a translated article about the 4 parties found in TVB. Whether the details are true is not something I can tell you, but I think the article is a very good read–direct, honest, and sound. I will also collect all news regarding this matter and make a list linking to them at the end of this post. That way, we’ll have a "library" of this case. I won’t be writing any thoughts about this matter yet, because it’s still too early to speak. I don’t want to sound like an idiot, pointing fingers here and there when I know little to nothing about what’s hidden beneath the cover. I might make some comments once we hear of an actual verdict and understand the story in its entirety.

Please keep reading for all the awfully juicy details.

Burning Flame III: 02 3

Leon (Bosco Wong) and Ah Lung (Oscar Leung) are looking through the pubs for the kennel arsonist Ah Mo to clear their names. They get into a petty argument and Ah Lung leaves. Leon finally finds Ah Mo and asks him to admit to the crime, but of course, Ah Mo declines and they get into a fist fight. At the same time, a fire breaks out in the karaoke a floor below. Leon and Ah Mo hear the fire alarm and try to run but a stack of chairs fall on Ah Mo.

Ah Shing (Wong He) and his team arrive at the scene of the fire. He meets Ah Lung, who quickly tells him that Leon is trapped in the building. The firefighters rush into the building and rescue any remaining patrons. When the fourth floor is cleared, Ah Shing heads up to the fifth floor where Leon and Ah Mo are still struggling. He finds the two guys and helps get Ah Mo out. However, the smoke reaches gas cans that were left in a storage room from the last safety checkup and an explosion occurs. The three had a brush with death but luckily got away by going into an elevator, which does not work. Hence, Ah Shing has to climb out to manually operate the lift.

Burning Flame III: 01 2

Instrumental – Show ▼

The opening video was very simple, minimum effects and short selected scenes. Without an opening song, it was even more simple. However, the dramatic instrumental and inserted character voices made for a strong impact. Right away, my heart starts to beat faster and I could feel the intensity to come. It’s a good introduction to get you into the mood of this series, but I don’t plan on watching it every episode. I’ll probably fast forward the 1 minute 28 seconds from now on.
