Rosy Business has been the centre of attention and tonight it will air the finale. Apart from Wayne Lai, Sheren Tang and Pierre Ngo there is also Ron Ng who you cant neglect. Even though Ron’s character hasn’t been eye catching he has a lot of scenes with Sheren. Ron said Sheren has given him many tips on his filming whilst filming together and he has benefited a lot from it.

Ron’s two series E.U. and Rosy Business have had high ratings but the roles which have left a deep impression on the audience haven’t been him. Like in E.U. the spotlight was on Laughing and it was the same with Rosy as well. Asked whether Ron felt any disappointment, He said “I actually am not disappointed because when a series receives good ratings it is something to celebrate about. Actually before we started filming, we already knew that Wayne’s character would be a big hit and also in E.U. Michael Miu and I knew Michael Tse’s would as well.” Asked about his acting improving he laughed “Maybe it’s because I’m working with seniors I’ve never worked with before and they have helped me grasp things a lot quicker. I use to be a blank piece of paper and everyone thought I could only act as an aggressive and wooden character so my character in Rosy has shown a different side of me. I have always changed quickly over time and sometimes when filming I will spend a lot more time understanding the script.

In both series Ron has acted two different characters. In E.U. Ron was Chung Lap Man who was an undercover cop and had a lot of ‘inside’ scenes. In Rosy he is a good boy and also a second ‘Siu Yie’. Ron said that when he was filming he was given lots of tips from the seniors and so everyone helps each other out which is why filming is so much fun. Also, he really gets inside the character and thus believes that this time he has been able to be a good supporting actor. The reason being is that Sheren and Ron have a lot of scenes together and whatever she can’t do Ron would do for her. He doesn’t mind because each character is unique in its own way. Ron believes that filming isn’t for yourself, it is for the series.

Filming in Mainland didn’t mean he was fired

All these years ever since Triumph in the Skies, his character Issac has increased his popularity. But after that, there was a lot of negative news so he went to Mainland China to film and there were rumours that he had been released by the company. He expressed that there was no such incident. ‘If the company wanted to put you aside, they wouldn’t send you all the way to China.’ Last year he went to film Life and Death which has allowed him to learn more about acting and upon returning to Hong Kong it has helped him a lot. Also in Mainland China, there is little entertainment news so it has allowed him to study the script further.

Second son has a happy ending

Asked about Tonight’s finale Ron was very open and said to everyone “The family does split but I have a happy ending but it isn’t a big re-union or anything as the ending will be an unforgettable one because no matter whether you’re a good or a fading person you will die”.
