Issue 658 of TVB Weekly is more or less an advertisement for the mega-casted movie 72 Tenants of Prosperity (72家租客), said to be releasing on February 11, 2010, in time for Chinese New Year. The cast is too large to name, so you can refer to handy-dandy Wikipedia or the official site. Nevertheless, this issue only takes a look at some of the more main artists, including Eric Tsang, Jacky Cheung, Anita Yuen, Bosco Wong, Stephy Tang, Wong Cho Lam, and Linda Chung. There is also a nice spread of the entire cast joyously celebrating under a sky of confetti. Gorgeous Bernice Liu and cute Kate Tsui stand on the side. See if you can identify anymore big stars through the flock of arms and hands!!
As a bonus, a hot Florence Kwok graces the cover of TVB Life.
Issue 654 of TVB Weekly features Linda Chung and Steven Ma cuddling with each other and some cute dogs to promote their latest drama, A Watchdog’s Tale (老友狗狗).
English Title: A Watchdog’s Tale Chinese Title: 老友狗狗 Cantonese Title: Lou Yau Gau Gau Producer: Leung Choi Yuen Screenwriters: Choi Ting Ting, Leung Man Wah Cast: Steven Ma, Kent Cheng, Linda Chung, Maggie Siu, Raymond Wong, Natalie Tong, Koni Lui, Lee Kwok Lun, Wu Fong, Kwok Fung, Rocky Cheng, Francois Wong, Evergreen Mak, Yvonne Lam, Ram Tseung, etc. Length: 20 Episodes Broadcast: December 28, 2009 to January 22, 2010 Genre: Modern, Drama, Cop, Comedy Official Site: Link Opening Theme: Old Dog Friend (老友狗狗) by Steven Ma and Linda Chung
This will be a cop series involving the use of trained police dogs to solve cases.
Steven Ma plays a rude and perverted man from a walled village. The role will be somewhat similar to Johnson Lee from Just Love I and II but a lot more perverted in the sense that Steven will enjoy looking at porn magazines and girls with large breasts.
Linda Chung will be a trainer for police dogs and a tomboy.
Koni Lui plays the secret lover/mistress of a married wealthy businessman.
Kent Cheng and Maggie Siu will be involved in a relationship.
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!
Twitter is the trend lately, whether for keeping updated with your friends, favorite blogs, local and/or global breaking news, entertainment, or even your most beloved actors, actresses, idols, singers, musicians, whatever. Although I still don’t understand why anyone would have a following number over 100, I really do believe Twitter is a fast, convenient, easy to use, and totally awesome form of short, simple, and sweet communication that fits well in this modern generation that’s always racing against time.
Today, after getting home from dealing with everything else in life, I was very bored so of course, I was on Twitter browsing around needlessly. When visiting two Twitter pages of artists I know of, Sammul Chan and Bernice Liu, I decided, "Well, maybe I should check out who they follow." I basically went on a "Find People" hunt and in doing so, found quite a few other artists (I at least know the name of) on Twitter, albeit none that I really care about. The result of my "hardwork" is in the list below, in no particular order.
