Wayne Lai has chance of winning TV King

As the TVB awards ceremony draws nearer, the battle for TV King and Queen will heat up. However, Lau Sing and Gau Mui have already become the netizens' choice for this year's TV King and Queen. The reporters went to the forums and realised that Wayne Lai has overtaken his competitors Moses Chan and Steven Ma, with 55.38% of the votes. His on-screen partner, Sheren Tang, has taken the lead, with 74.22% supporting her over Charmaine Sheh.

May not win
Last year, Wayne did not have any competitors. This year however, his competitors are Moses Chan, Raymond Lam and Steven Ma. They all have their own supporters. Wayne said that he will not really care about the awards. He just hopes that everybody will be happy on the awards night itself. He said that even if No Regrets did not win any prizes, he will still treat everybody to dinner.

Lau Sing is a character that is hard to meet
Wayne Lai said while eating crab, "Good food can reduce stress. Actually, I didn't have any stress about this year's award ceremony, but people have to ask me about it everyday, which adds on to my stress. I think being an actor is like being a chef. The food you cook must be appreciated by others, and seeing everybody enjoying the food is one of the greatest achievement for a chef. Prizes are only the value that society puts on you. I've been in this industry for 24 years, and Lau Sing is one of the best character that I've come across. As an artiste, I wish that my role would be challenging. As compared to Lau Sing, Chai Gau is really much easier to act out.

During last year's awards ceremony, Wayne set a record by winning 3 prizes in one night. However, he knows that this record will be broken one day. This doesn't bother him though. He said that the purpose of the prize is to encourage people to watch TV, and also to attract people's attention to the TV industry.

Comments: Haha, I think Wayne's record of winning 3 prizes in one night is meant to stay. I mean, it's not possible to win any other prizes right? He has already gotten Best Actor, Most Favourite Male Character, TVB.com Popularity prize... What else can he possibly get lol? xDDD

No Regrets' finale touches many

TVB's anniversary drama No Regrets and sitcom Someday aired their final episodes the night before at TVB City, with 800 people watching the finale together with them. Last year, Rosy Business's Chai Gau held peacefully as he held 4th Wife's hands, making many people cry; in No Regrets, Gau Mui and Lau Sing only met each other after 30 years apart and lived the rest of their lives together. The ending of this drama was already revealed by gossip magazines long ago, making the back-stage crew very angry. However, even people like Sheren Tang, Helen Ma, Elena Kong etc, who knew the ending long ago couldn't help but cry with the rest of the audience.

Stephan Chan's comeback affects TV Queen results

This year's TVB awards ceremony will be held this Sunday, and all bets are on No Regrets and Can't Buy Me Love. From the ratings itself, No Regrets, which ended last week, had an average of 44 points (peaking at 47 points) for its final episodes, beating Can't Buy Me Love. However, the overall average ratings for No Regrets is 33 points, with Can't Buy Me Love getting 34 points on average overall.

The leads of these 2 dramas are also fighting for the coveted TV King and Queen awards, with them having equal chances. This year's awards ceremony will definitely be full of drama and excitement!

Battle for TV Queen
Sheren Tang's "Gau Mui" has many layers and facades to her character. It has immense difficulty, and outshines last year's "4th Wife".

However, to get the award, besides talent, there are also many factors to be taken into account. As a "non-biological daughter", she does not have enough backing from the TVB executives. Earlier on, there were rumours that TVB hoped to sign a contract with her and offered many attractive terms. However, Sheren did not reply them.

Just when everybody thought that her chances of winning again has diminished, out comes Stephan Chan, who is reinstated back to his position. Sheren and Stephan have a good relationship with each other. It is also said that Sheren won last year's TV Queen award due to the backing of Stephan. Sheren, who initially did not care about the award, suddenly said that she would fight for the TV Queen award. If she wins the TV Queen award this Sunday, she will become the first actress in TVB history to win 2 TV Queens consecutively.

Battle for TV King
Wayne Lai is last year's TV King, but this year, Lau Sing isn't as outstanding as Chai Gau. Although this character has more emotional scenes, but it isn't as attention-grabbing as Gau Mui. Even supporting characters like Pai Guat and Fei Fan are getting more attention than him. Also, a few netizens have criticised him for over-acting. Wayne is also not TVB's "biological son", hence he expresses no interest in winning the prize.

However recently, Wayne has been considering to sign a contract with TVB, increasing his chances of winning TV King again. When he won last year, TVB asked him to sign a contract with them, but he rejected it. However, it seems like he has changed his stance. "This year, I'll consider (the contract). However, now is not the time". He has said that it's taxing on his wife because every contract has to be scrutinised by her. "If I sign a contract with TVB, it won't be so troublesome".

What other people say
Tsang Chi Wai: I think Wayne Lai has a bigger chance of winning, because No Regrets is very popular now. Sheren Tang's acting skills are so good that there's nothing for me to say. Everybody is bound to love a gangster daughter. My role as a gangster last time was also very well-received.

Chow Yun Fatt: I think the battle for TV Queen is between Sheren Tang and Charmaine Sheh. (Who is your ideal TV King?) Kent Cheng has the chance.

Jessica Hsuan: I've watched No Regrets, and I think this year's TV King and Queen will still go to Wayne and Sheren. Even if I get nominated, I won't be able to win over Sheren.

Ha Yu: I like watching Wayne Lai. He should be able to win again, but I think there's a lower chance. There are many factors to be considered, and I don't know what are the criteria of the judges.

No Regrets is the pride of Hong Kong dramas

Last year, the whole nation cried when Rosy Business's Chai Gau passed away; this year, Lau Sing's passing in No Regrets, which is the indirect sequel of Rosy Business, set new records and caused ATV's programme to record 0 points in ratings. While setting new records for TV, we can also see the passion for Hong Kong dramas returning, especially in the younger generation viewers.

After the golden age of Hong Kong dramas, both TVB and ATV have failed to produce a drama that will become a classic. Even police dramas, which Hong Kong is best at producing, are mediocre at best, so don't even talk about the other genres. However, this year saw the re-emergence of dramas with better quality. Besides Gun Metal Grey, which showed what real cop drama is, No Regrets has made TVB win acclaim again. Dramas like Can't Buy Me Love have such a bad script; Mysteries of Love and Every Move You Make have copied overseas dramas. Only No Regrets can be considered as an original work that is unique to Hong Kong.

During the initial part of filming, Producer Lee said that the main point behind this drama is to portray what people of that time went through. From the overall script, No Regrets has definitely achieved this. Not only is the time period there, the whole drama is very touching and every episode is shot very naturally. It's no wonder that netizens are saying that No Regrets has made them love Hong Kong dramas again.

There was a time when almost all Hong Kong dramas produced could be considered a classic. Why is it that Hong Kong dramas now do not attract people as much now? This is due to the lack of creativity and the lack of outstanding artistes. Now, besides promoting the same few artistes aggressively, TVB is also giving the cold shoulder to those artistes who can really act. A good drama has to rely on the skills of the artistes as well as the script. Thankfully, No Regrets has done it.

This year's No Regrets has wrapped up beautifully, making the audience who have switched to watching Korean and Japanese dramas turn back to watch Hong Kong dramas. This is no doubt, a boost for the script-writers, and it also proves that a good drama attracts people from all walks of life.

No matter what, the high ratings of both Rosy Business and No Regrets have brought back some face for Hong Kong dramas. Let's just hope that TVB will keep up this standard.

Leave your comments for the No Regrets' casts here!

I'm sure that by now, many people would have read about how No Regrets is seemingly being put down by TVB, due to the way Scoop reported the ratings. But still, it cannot be denied that the other show did get more viewers than No Regrets even though the finale ratings for this drama is higher.

The netizens are now drumming up support for No Regrets, and I feel very touched by how much these people really love this drama. Hence, I feel that we should do something too. We may not be able to take part in protests (yes, this was mentioned by quite a number of people), but still, we can show our support to No Regrets by other means.

Leave down what you want to say to the No Regrets’ casts and back-stage crew. I’ll gather all the comments and send it over to Hong Kong. It can be either in English or Chinese. Try not to leave your name as Anonymous because it would be hard for me to keep track of the comments. =) But still, if you want, go ahead. xD

I’ll collate everything and send it over! ^^ I hope that this will a good boost for them, to let them know that no matter what, No Regrets will forever be the best drama in our hearts. Come on, 義氣仔女s, we must do our part! =D

Note: You can continue to leave down any thoughts/comments you have about this drama even though it has ended its run in Hong Kong. It's nice to read what other people have to say and it'll also remind everybody involved in creating No Regrets that their drama has won the hearts of many people around the world. ;D
