All Stars Gala Live In Genting (Day 1)

It is not often that three good TVB artistes, Teresa Mo, Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang exit their on-screen personas and attend the 'All Stars Gala Live In Genting' concert together, thereby reducing the distance between them and the audience. Mo, who rarely appears in concerts, gave many of her 'first times' for this concert. Besides singing, she also danced to a hot dance number! 'Chai Gau' Wayne Lai's humour brought laughter to many people, and was even asked by a crazy female fan to kiss her three times; That night, Sheren Tang told the Malaysian audience, "Actually, I'm very gentle. Don't you guys feel it?"

Lee Tim Shing - The backstage pro

Scan from i-Weekly #731
People call him Uncle Tim. He is the golden producer who produced many classic dramas that belonged to the golden era of the Hong Kong television industry. From The Good, The Bad And The Ugly in the early days to the Rosy Business series now, many dramas throughout the years owe their success to him.

He is now 63 years old, and has spent nearly 40 years in this industry. He slowly worked his way up; from the props department, the scene department, the assistant script-editor to script-editor, until finally, he became a producer.

43rd Mingpao Weekly Entertainment Awards (nomination list)

Hi everybody! It's voting time again, this time for the 43rd Mingpao Awards. No Regrets is being put at a disadvantage here because it was aired in Hong Kong last year. It's been nearly a year now since No Regrets first aired in Hong Kong, so I think many people may have forgotten about it by now. In fact, the other nominees include people who have participated in dramas that were aired this year. People's impression of them may be stronger, so we need to do whatever we can to help our No Regrets' team win the awards. This is the very least we can do as fans.

You are only allowed to vote for only ONE person at one time. But no worries, after voting for one, you can refresh the page and vote for the other person.

1) Click on https://marketing.omghk.com/htm/showbiz2011/cfm/form.cfm to get into the voting website.

2) Scroll all the way down until you see the word '視', which stands for the TV category.

3) We won't be able to vote for the best TV programme, so vote for Wayne Lai as the Most Outstanding Actor.

4) Submit your particulars as shown below. Please enter legitimate email hosts like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail etc.

After submission, you will see the 'thank you' message as shown below. If you don't see this, it means you have filled up something wrongly. After this, you can just click on the 'back button' on your internet browser, change your ID number and email address, and proceed on the step 5. It's much faster this way.

5) Repeat steps 1 and 2 to vote for Sheren Tang as the Most Outstanding Actress. Repeat step 4 after that.

6) I found this category rather weird. Don't Tim Gor and Cheung Wah Biu come together lol? I believe that both Tim Gor and Cheung Wah Biu do deserve recognition for what they have done as well. Without them, there won't be today's Sherayne. Repeat steps 1 and 2 and vote for either of them as the Most Outstanding TV Back-stage crew. Repeat step 4 after that.

Voting ends on 9th November 2011 (Wednesday), so please support them! ;)

Shanghai TV Magazine #10A

Wayne Lai feels embarrassed getting the award again

R: Reporter

W: Wayne Lai

Acting makes me more gentle
R: In both Rosy Business and No Regrets, your roles are very manly. Are you that manly in real life?

W: Quite a bit. Every role that an actor plays reflects some part of his own life. However, I am not as hot-tempered as Lau Sing. I am more gentle and don't get so worked up that easily.

R: Are you born gentle?

W: My work has trained me to be more gentle. It is crucial for me to maintain my composure during acting so that I can act well.

R: Having being in TVB for 20 over years and playing many different roles, are there any roles you wish to take on but haven't gotten the chance to?

W: Not really. I have played so many roles in the past 20 years. Besides Chai Gau and Lau Sing, there are other roles which I love as well, including Pigsy, Zhou Botong and Han Xing.

R: You have to come and leave on the same day. From your Weibo, it seems that your schedule is really packed. Do you like this kind of life?

W: No, not really. I am one who likes freedom more, and would like to maintain a balance between relaxation and work. However, it is particularly difficult. This is so especially for when I film for TVB. We have to film our scenes outdoors and in the studio everyday. At times, we only get 2 hours of rest for one day, and this is really tiring.

R: How long do you intend to keep up with this punishing schedule before you give yourself a break?

W: To be frank, I am at a loss as well, because after acting for so many years, I can finally achieve what I have today. It is not an easy thing to give everything up.

R: From your Weibo, it seems that you like to put up photos of yourself drinking tea and relaxing.

W: I am one who enjoys serenity and don't really like to socialise with people. Opening up a Weibo account is for my fans because they worry about me a lot. This is why I put up photos of myself drinking tea and resting for them to see.

TVBS' Nothing is Bigger Than Eat (29/09/2011)

Click here to watch the programme that Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang filmed when they were in Taiwan 2 weeks ago.

- Credits to 夢Lei of 邓萃雯吧

Comments: This programme was very, very entertaining! xD The hosts were really very funny, especially when they tried to speak Cantonese. Little Pink (小粉红) pronounced "好食" as "好死"! because he could not get the Cantonese pronunciation right. Wayne Lai asked him not to die LOL! The other hosts scolded Little Pink for cursing their guest to go and die (in this case Wayne) ROFL! xP

Sherayne's Mandarin is not bad. I think their Mandarin have really improved because they keep going to places like Shanghai and Taiwan, though I can still catch hints of Cantonese here and there. It's so funny how Sheren addressed the host as "little child". xD

I disagree with Wayne lol. I haven't eaten the smelly tofu from Taiwan before, but I find that Hong Kong's smelly tofu are not really as smelly as those we get from the pasar malams here in Singapore. That being said, the smelly tofu in Hong Kong is really very big haha! The ones we eat from pasar malams are small squares while the ones in Hong Kong are really huge chunks of fried tofu itself. Wayne is really very cute here. He suggested letting the tofu 'rot'/ferment by itself, which scared off Sheren lol!

I didn't know that they eat oyster omelette with xiao bai cai and bean-sprouts lol. It seems like a healthy way to eat the otherwise oily and sinful food. xP

Their commentaries on each other's food are really very hilarious! xDD "The oysters have the taste of a 'traitor'..." "Your oyster omelette looks as messy as the time era that No Regrets is set in." I totally went WTF!! xDD

Sheren used to hate eating bittergourd when she was young. Well, same case as yours truly here, but unlike her, I will never ever touch it again lol!

On to round 2. They are now supposed to use different methods to cook the spareribs. Each of them are given 4 steps on cooking their respective sparerib dish, which they have to memorise. I'm not sure if it was by accident or not, but Sheren read 太白粉 (cornstarch) as 白粉 (heroin), shocking everybody on the set. It was really hilarious max! xP

Moving on, Little Pink tried reading the methods of cooking the spareribs, but he only managed the first few words before he switched to the Shandong dialect. He asked Wayne on ways to maintain one's marriage. Wayne told him that it's best not to get married ROFL! ._.

After that, when they were done with their dishes, they started using the "golden phrases" in both Rosy Business and No Regrets to scare the chef, who was the judge. xP You can find out who the eventual winner is! ;)

I don't watch Taiwanese dramas because they don't suit my taste, but I've always enjoyed watching most of their variety shows and travelogues, which can be really very witty and funny. ;D

Feel free to leave down your comments as well. ;P

Tencent Entertainment: An interview with Sherayne

Dragon TV will be airing TVB's anniversary drama No Regrets from 1st October 2011 onwards, everyday from 12.30 pm. On the 28th September 2011, the main leads, Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang, came to Shanghai to promote the drama. When they accepted an interview from Tencent Entertainment, they also gave their views on the upcoming TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony, which would be held in November. Lai admitted that he hoped he would be able to win his third TV King award, with Tang saying that she thought that he had the biggest chance. "However, I'm not around this year, so his chances of getting the TV King award are somewhat jeopardised." In the middle of this year, TVB had plans to come up with Rosy Business 3 (RB 3), but plans for it fell through when Cheung Wah Biu decided not to return to TVB. However, Tang said that RB 3 could still happen. "So long as Wayne and I are still around, there will definitely be a chance. However, I hope that the 3rd series will not be so depressing. It's good to be able to film a modern comedy."
