The Academy 3 - Michael Miu’s First Villian Role


TVB series “Suspicious Love” filmed a car crash scene at an industrial area in Tseung Kwan O.
Around one o’clock that afternoon, there was an accident involving a remote helicopter nearby.
Even though Michael Miu and Anita Yuen didn’t witness the accident, they were scared by the description of the accident. Anita pointed out that maybe there was no enforced law [for remote helicopter usage] so hobbyists should be protecting themselves.

Michael said that they were on lunch break when that accident happened so they did not know about it. They heard how a person was hit in the head by the helicopter blades from crew members.
The person lost a lot of blood because the helicopter blades were like knives.

Anita said: “There is a lot of force when the blades rotate. Is there a law or permit that you need to operate a remote helicopter in an open space? You need to have protective measures for your own safety if there is no law about it. It would be too hot to wear a safety hat but it is safer so there is no way out of it.”

Also, the scene for the series described how Anita and Jacky had their mouths taped shut since they were kidnapped and kept in a small truck. Michael was a bodyguard that was chasing after the truck to rescue them. In the end, there would be a car accident with a vehicle flipping over.

The kidnapper, Oscar Leung, would be hurt. Anita smiled and said: “In the series, I was kidnapped because I am a nosy woman who involved herself in a rich man’s son kidnapping case.” Michael divulged that filming this series was not too hard. He thanked Anita because Anita needs 12 hours of rest per day.
In mid-March, he would start filming the third installment of “The Academy”.

“The Academy” and “On the First Beat” were popular series so TVB decided to do a third installment. In “The Academy”, Michael was very stylish and handsome. TVB recruited Michael in the third installment because
“On the First Beat” lost that extra spark without Michael.

Michael would be a villain in the new series. Sammul Chan and Ron Ng would be comparing their acting skills with Michael. On the other hand, Michael Tao did not get to stay in the new installment.
Michael Miu said that he hasn’t acted in a villain so it would be a new experience.

He said: “Now, audience knows that characters in a series are just fictional characters.
So I don’t need to worry about being rejected by the audiences.
I don’t know how bad a villain I need to portray.
That would be up to the producers.”

The producer 黃偉聲 explained: “The storyline is that Sonija Kwok died so the story about about
Michael Tao and Joey Yung would not continue. They may do guest appearance for one or two episode to explain why they left.”

He disclosed this story would be about emergency units. He is looking for female partners for Michael, Sammul and Ron. He hopes that new pairings would produce a fresh feeling to the series.
