Joey Yung & Nicholas Tse left footprints, No Regrets for being Cut

Last night, EGG's Number 1 Brother and Sister Nicholas Tse and Joey Yung were the guests for the Olympics Opening ceremony, unfortunately TV viewers didn't get to watch them perform during the ceremony, but were not disappointed. Being able to be with the whole China of 1.3 billion people, it is a "favor" to be part of it, it's an honorable feeling.

Last night, Nic and Joey followed up with the schedule and joined Jackie Chan, Alan Han (韓紅), Sun Nan (孫楠) and Karen Mok for the concert after the opening ceremony. Nic, Joey, Emil Chau (周華健), Sun Yue (孫悅) and Wang Feng (汪峰) group sang 《為生命喝采》 and this has not been broadcast yet. Nicholas who is in Shanghai accepted an interview with the media, he expressed: "No problem, last night the main stars were the athletes, it's not the judges or a singer in a concert. Joey and I are also very fortunate to leave a foot print on the stage, what else do we want?"

Nic expressed that being able to be a guest in the opening ceremony with the entire China of 1.3 billion people, he feels its an honor, he said: "Even the next 3rd or 4th generation may not have this opportunity." As for some audience may not have been able to see the live broadcast, Nic said that he believes they will be able to see a re-run of it later, asked if he would tell his son Lucas Tse of his experiences? He said: "I wouldn't, maybe during his generation there will be another kind of experience."

Tries not to cry by rapidly swallowing saliva

Also Joey stated to witness with her own eyes a moment of history she felt very emotional. She described the opening ceremony as watching a very good film. When discussing that her performance was not aired on television, Joey says "This has really happened, personally I have experienced it and thats enough."Joey even exposed that a group of performers were backstage looking at looking at Li Ning lighting the torch and emotionally started crying. Also Nicholas said "I was trying not to cry and had to rapidly swallow salivia. I had to go on stage afterwards and didn't want it to affect my performance."

Also, regarding Nicholas and Joey plus other singers performance not aired TVB assistant director of public relations Tsang Shing Ming stated that while the torch was being lit the broadcast signal on the live show was disconnected. As for why Jackie Chan and other singers performance was successfully shown was because that part was filmed by TVB themselves, that is why Hong Kong viewers were able to watch it. But earlier the original ceremony live broadcast signal had stopped. The broadcast regulations need the midnight 12AM news to be broadcasted at the time. Therefore Nicholas and Joey's performance was unable to be shown.
