Francis Ng (Real Name: Ng Chi Keung, 48 years old) was involved in an injury someone case in Kowloon City bakery on New Year's Eve. That night, Francis and his Singaporean wife (Wong Lai Ping) were at the bakery and got into a dispute with someone at the store. It was reported after that the person was grabbed and slapped, having to get stitches on their left ear. Francis was arrested and charged for wounding someone. 

Yesterday at court, Francis was sentenced for HK$10,000 fine and has a criminal record. Yesterday afternoon at 2:20pm, Francis appeared at the court's entrance wearing a black suit with yellow shaded glasses and a LV wallet. His wife was not seen with him. 

Francis' lawyer accompanied him to court and was able to lessen the offense of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Francis appeared calm in court, when the magistrate read the case, he answered before he/she was done: "I plead guilty". The magistrate then said: "Let me finish first." The case spanned for about 20 minutes, in the end the court sentenced Francis a fine of HK$10,000 and will have a criminal record. The magistrate continued and said that as an artist, Francis should control his temperment and personal emotions. His actions were also said to be a foolish act: "learn your lesson, do not be reckless!" Fortunately there was a change in the alleged charges otherwise, Francis could have been sentenced for imprisonment. However, there was not enough evidence that could prove he was impulsive to commit the crime, so a lighter sentence was given. 

In defense, the lawyer said that Francis is a successful artist, a famous figure among the Chinese. He explained, at that time the victim was verbally abusing Mrs. Ng with the use of foul language. Protecting his wife is a man's duty, Francis mistakes are forgiven. When Francis was leaving the court, a large group of reporters surrounded him, causing some confusion. The security guards had to step in to clear up the pathway, asked if he's satisfied with the sentence? Francis did not respond. Asked again, the magistrate told him to control his temperment, he only let out the sounds: "hee hee hee" as a response.

To promote for the Laughing Gor movie release in August, "Beautiful Cooking" had always used pretty girls as their guests, but this time the kitchen turns into "Beautiful Men Kitchen", Laughing Gor Michael Tse, Anthony Wong and Felix Wong were the guests for this special episode of Beautiful Cooking. "Laughing So" Fala Chen, Chen Shuang, Lorretta Chow, Koni Lui, Tracy Ip and Anna Yau were the cooking assistants. Francis Ng and Yuen Biao were the guest judges.

During the show, Fans were constantly shouting "Laughing Gor", Michael smiled and said that those are all his Facebook Fans. When Michael was cooking a fire emerged, he said: "You have to have the few 'kung fu skills' (cooking skills) to be able to do this! Usually when I'm at home, I often do the cooking, I really enjoy the process of cooking. I just need my family to try my cooking and feel that it tastes good, then I'll be very happy. But, recently because I'm busy filming, I don't cook as often, fortunately my wife still makes me soup to drink."

Francis Ng stuffs Anthony Wong with tofu

Film King good friends Francis and Anthony were both against each other the whole night, Anthony had his assistant Lorretta Chow and Koni Lui's help, Francis snapped back: "Michael don't use tofu because Anthony already ate all of it!" Anthony then said: "I'm used to eating 'big fish, big meat', no need to eat tofu!" Had always had opinions on what to eat, Francis was harsh on scoring the guests' creations, he described Anthony's dish as "scam chicken", when you open it theres blood all over the meat, its more like a human roast chicken! (yan yuk cha siu gai); As for Michael's chicken, it was half cooked half raw and cannot be eaten. Micahel explained: "Usually at the restaurants when I cut my chicken, it looks just like that!" Once Michael said that, Francis immediately lectured him: "You tell me which restaurant that is, if it's not cooked, you can't eat it. It's just like if you're singing and didn't memorize the lyrics, you can't sing on key, I don't even know what you want!"

Francis has named his son Feynman

47 years old Francis Ng's wife has given birth to a baby boy on 28th. The baby weighed 8 pounds and is named Feynman. His wife is breast feeding Feynman due to the recent formula powder milk scare.

Francis was at his wife's bedside yesterday in Hong Kong Sanatorium Hospital. He brough two tubs of home made soups as well as a professional camera so that he can take some pictures of his son. He told reporters that his wife had booked a date to have a cesarean section birth (delivery by operation) but the baby was born early. He is glad that the mother and the baby are healthy. "I will let the older relatives give him a Chinese name. I named him Feynman because there was a scientist called Feynman and I find this name special. This scientist is a very romantic person. He can turn complicated things into simple things. He doesn't care about what is happening in the world and he only looks after himself. Just like me I just need to do my job well."

Francis Ng revealed Myolie Wu complained tearfully filming series to get better relations

Recently TVB series "Triumph in the Skies" is broadcasting in the midnight on TVB station, Francis Ng who is acting as Sam brother in it was at the studio for a program hosted by Sandra Ng as a guest. He criticized TVB is using the improper methods of promoting the new persons.

He revealed that a female artist was complaining tearfully to him during that time that filming series is not about acting skills but about relations. According to reports that person is Myolie Wu. Francis frankly said he does not like the Anniversary award shows organized by TVB. He believes TVB is closing the doors to split apart with his own people.

TVB is re-airing "Triumph in the Skies" 2003 series starring Francis Ng very late at night. The reactions are very welcoming, the late night's ratings hit the record, the average is 7 points approximately forty-four thousand audience is watching the series. They talked about Francis Ng's fun of acting in TVB at those years, also about the acting level of the actors which is dropped down.

The new people is lacking of acting training

Sandra talked in the program about the recently "Speed of Silence" series acted by Kate Tsui and Kenneth Ma. Referring that the new group of people seems like amateurs. Francis also thinks TVB's direction promoting the newbies are mistaken. He pointed out that the newbies have no acting training at all. Actually when filming the Triumph series he once trained the newbies. He said: One time I purposely NG every person 30 times telling them why they don't learn the dialogue. The whole group insulted him therefore."

Francis revealed that during the period of filming the above mentioned series, he called a female actress to do her best with acting; but this makes the counterpart crying. She even threatened that filming a series currently is not about acting, but about relations. Francis said: "How come it's turning into this? Organizing what female what male award?" (TVB best actor & best actress award). A TV station who is shutting the door to share with his own people. This anniversary it's you the next it's the other, I dislike this way." It is reported that the female artiste is Myolie Wu.

In June 2004 she accepted an interview of a magazine, she has spoken that although from little on her personal character is clearly vigorous and not easily in crying, but there are exceptions. She expressed that during the filming of Triump series she cried because of the NG's. At that time she did not acted very well therefore NG's many times, she didn't know what she had mistaken and end up crying.

Blame scenarist level is dropped down

Actually in the Triumph series, the female actors acting with Francis are only Michelle Ye, Flora Chan and Myolie Wu. Having the least screen time is Michelle Ye from all of them, as for Flora Chan she has already many years of acting experience which does not match with Francis' description of newbie. The only new person was Myolie Wu, who acted with Francis as a couple.

Yesterday reporters phoned Myolie Wu regarding to Francis' opinion to find out, but she denied she is the female actress which Francis is referring to. She said: "That person is definitely not me, how come acting is not about acting skills!"

Francis is most dissatisfied about the fact that TVB is searching for artists to act which benefit the other side: "Acting with you is giving you face and not because of promoting myself. They always think it's benefiting them. Having one advertisement earning few hundred thousand HKD, but they don't think back about how I help them to earn 1 million. They don't give much money..it's really abrupt."

Sandra criticized the level of the scriptwriters is dropped down of TVB. She said the series "Love Exchange" acted by main actors Michael Miu and Anita Yuan is like a radio drama, as for "Speech of Silence" series the yesterday's scene was about Kenneth Ma and Kate Tsui expressing love which she thinks it's too excessive. She said: "How do the scriptwriters write? The acting is fake, the script is fake, not refreshing and not romantic at all!"

Raymond Lam: Need Producer's to give you opportunities


Leo Ku, Raymond Lam, Linda Chung, Edwin Siu, Yeung and Heidi Chu attended the Olympics promotional event 「2008北京奧運會攜手同心迎奧]. The artistes competed in games of Ping pong and Badminton. When Leo Ku and Heidi Chu paired up to play ping pong, they had trouble serving and missed the ball twice.
It was reported that Leo Ku had to offer to volunteer in order to be part of the Olympic hosts. He states that he had hosted for TVB shows in the past. After doing events, he will rush to TVB city to rehearse for the evening shows. During that time he will not accept any interviews and will focus mainly on hosting.

Francis Ng accepted an Radio broadcast interview yesterday, he said that the standards of TVB's actors and TV series have gone downhill. He also mentioned that while he was filming "Triumph in the skies", an actress cried while telling him about her worries. She stated that filming a TV series is no longer about talents in acting but rather about connections with certain people in the industry. If they have connections then they will be casted without needing to know how to act. There were reports that the person Francis mentioned about was Myolie Wu, when she was still a newcomer.

The reporters asked Raymond Lam about it. He immediatley replies loudly "Crazy". He explained that he has known Myolie for many years and that she isn't the type of person who would say things like that to anyone. He feels that the Phrase "Depending on Connections" actually means "Depending on the Producer to give you opportunities". He says " When the producer gives you opportunites you must value them. You must do your best in order to get another chance or opportunity. That is what depending on connections is about. You must start off slowly to learn, then you will gradually improve. ( If you have good relations with the Bosses, does that give you a better advantage in getting more work? "I don't agree, it's not an advantage to have good relations with the bosses as they don't get involved with the production side of things." As for actors without acting talent, Raymond states that everyone has a different opinion on that. The viewers know how to judge what is good acting and it's his job to improve.

Linda Chung considers that if she does her best, then others will be interested in giving her work. However she states that she has never depended on connections to get work for herself and all her friends in the industry have depended on their own talents to get work. As long as your hardworking, the company will give you opportunities. Linda responds to Francis Ng's comment about current TVB artistes having Poor acting skills. "Many senior actors have been through alot of tough times in order to get to where they are today. It is normal for a newcomer to not be able to deliver the outstanding acting skills straight away, it takes practice. It's not possible to get those skills over night either, it takes years of effort to be recognised with talent. We are not superheroes. Many of us did not learn acting through acting schools, therefore we needed to start from the bottom and learn from our mistakes."

He states that Francis had been looking very cheerful since the good news arrived. (Asked when Sean would become a father? ) He explains that he has never considered the route of having kids, instead he had chosen the route of Happiness. But since the earthquake incident he had second thoughts and is considering to adopt an orphan from Sichuan. However currently he doesn’t know what the criteria is and how to adopt. But he understands that it won’t be easy or that flexible but will look into it.
