Yesterday Eddie Cheung and Michael Tse were filming the ending scene, a war game, for TVB series Sniper Standoff. Before filming, it was seen Michael had bloodshot red eyes, while Eddie had a pimple on his chin. It turns out because the two had to rush and wrap up filming, they were filming nonstop from 3 PM in the studio, then to outdoor filming and didn't stop until 7 AM the next morning. That's a total of 16 hours. Eliza Sam, Otto Chan and the other SDU members filmed the ending war game scene with them and then took a large group picture. Eddie wrote on Weibo: "Filming series is such a difficult job, but we're all able to endure through it because we have a dream. To all the brothers and sisters out there, remember as long as you have a dream, your dream can come true!" Because the interview with Eddie interrupted filming, at one point the crew rushed reporters out.

Tavia Yeung & Michael Tse Freely Develops their Sex Scene

TVB series Friendly Fire has broadcast half of the series. Following Toby Chan and Christine Kuo's sexy scenes, Sharon Chan's enticing wet bra scene and Sammy Leung's nude bathing scene becoming heated topics among Netizens, last night's episode was about Michael Tse and the drunken Tavia Yeung in an apartment. The two engaged in a two minute sex scene. Michael sacrifices for art once again and gets his shirt taken off by Tavia, while Tavia had a wet tank top on.

Friendly Fire's producer Man Wai Hung expressed Tavia and Michael's sex scene was not a 'heavy flavor' arrangement, but instead it is to convey that the two are struggling mentally because Tavia's character has a family history of breast cancer, and thus broke up with Michael.

The two-minute scene included flashbacks of the couple, the so-called sex scene didn't even take up one fourth of the time. He reveals took only 1 take because by that time, their relationship already made a lot of progress and so Michael and Tavia were already well into character.

Producer Man said the scene clearly explained the plot and the two artists freely developed the scene themselves. No parts were cut, the camera rolled straight through and completed in 1 take. Audience can really feel the effects of their romance.

He revealed this scene ended with a funny effect of the police checking their IDs. There were no erotic or vulgar elements on camera, the background song is called Friend by Japanese singer Tamaki Koji, which has become the couple's theme song.

Michael Tse, Joyce Cheng, Alfred Hui and a group of 2011 music newcomers took part in the Metro Radio Dance with Love in the City Welcoming Christmas event. Recently a magazine said Michael's nose has changed and suspected he got plastic surgery. Regarding the rumor, Michael laughed: "How come I have been in the industry for 20 years, and it's only now that they are saying I got plastic surgery? Thanks all for the concern, I hope this is a compliment that I look better! I think it's because recently I got thinner!" Michael believes plastic surgery is common in today's society, but he claims his facial features are complete, so there is no need for plastic surgery. He said: "I fear after I do it, audience will not be able to recognize me and then I'll have to start my career all over again! That would be a big deal!"

Niki Chow and Michael Tse were shooting for TVB new series Policewoman's Love Battlefield yesterday. The story is about the two as a bickering couple. When they were shooting the argument scenes, Michael clearly couldn't complete with Niki as he often forgets his lines. Later, Michael laughs: "This role is perfect for her (Niki), she really is a little crazy. In fact, Niki has the talent for comedies. This is my first time collaborating with her and on the first day of work, I already had a very good feeling. I never had this type of chemistry happen so quickly. (You can't be her in those bickering scenes?) The more we argue, the more sparks we have!" In the series, Michael urges Niki not to start a 'sister-brother' love with her younger cousin, played by Matthew Ko. Niki was asked if she minds dating someone younger than her? She said: "I never experienced it before, don't know how it feels, but the most important is that we can communicate. The digits, figure, wealth or age are not important. It is more important to have those innate qualities."

Yesterday afternoon, Kevin resumed filming Ghetto Justice 2 <怒火街頭II>. His face appeared tired and he obviously had a hangover from last night. “Right now, I feel a bit wing wing!”

In an interview with Eileen Cha (查小欣), Kevin discussed his fe elings upon receiving three awards at the 2011 TVB Anniversary Awards. “Last night, I was very surprised. I felt it was okay in receiving the My Favorite Male Character Award and it was a pleasant surprise to receive the Best Actor Award. When the results for Best Actor were announced, my heart was beating very quickly.

The Producer announced that Lives of Omission will be broadcast on August 1, 2011 in Hong Kong. Photos of Michael and Bosco holding guns were distributed.

Allegedly, TVB requested Bosco to extend his management contract by eight years for fear of mainland companies luring artists with higher salaries. Bosco said, “There are a few years left in my contract. I have not thought about it yet.” (You were offered a leading role in a new movie?) “I don’t know if the project will truly start production. However, I have already committed to filming two movies.”

Moses Chan (陳豪), who recently filmed a swimming trunks ad, said he will lose out to Bosco. “It’s okay to film in swimming trunks or underwear ads.” (Will you sacrifice for the sake of art?) “If the script were good, then there is value in the exposure.” Bosco mentioned that he did not mind revealing himself onscreen in a manner similar to Tony Leung.

Michael Tse led the way for fund raising appeal in the street

Wednesday August 19, 2009 Hong Kong



"Turning Point" by Michael Tse was shown in cinema the other day. Laughing Gor Michael Tse, Lorretta Chow, Fala Chan and Tracy Ip went round to four cinemas to raise fund for the landslide victims. Michael expressed that the money they have collected to be donating to Taiwan for the landslide victims. Before the fund raising event, Michael and Tsang Sing Ming, Deputy Director of the Foreign Affairs Department TVB were leading the way to ask everybody to donate 100 dollars each. The result of this appeal was very successful indeed. Among the donators, one child emptied his pocket and gave all he got in the donation box but some audience ran away when they saw the reporters.

"Turning Point" has been in cinema for 6 days, and it has already made 7,200,000 HKD. Michael is very excited, telling the reporter "The film is still showing in cinema, we have to wait till it is finished before we count its income. I still have to see the Executives nodding their heads first before I can relax." Reporter asked if Miss Lok is happy? Michael expressed that she deserves to be happy because she has done a lot for this movie and she has been rushing around engaging in the promotion too. The reporter reminded him that he is leading the way for the series turned into movie for Shaws Brothers Limited. Michael smiled "It is a good start."

Michael was very impressed with the people who were so enthusiastic for the fund raising activity. He said "There were very few people who turned away. I believed they were scared by the reporters pointing their cameras at them." Michael disclosed that one of his fans knew about the event, he bought half of the cinema tickets for his friends to see the movie. Michael added that he was like that himself before. After the activity, Tracy was very embarrassed because she had collected the least amount in her donation box out of the four boxes. She told reporter "I am useless, I am shy to ask people for money." The reporter asked should she be shy when she was only asking people for donation? She replied "Yea, I heard Michael asking people to donate whatever the amount, it doesn't matter whether it is 10 cents or 5 dollars. I did just that." Tracy was asked why didn't she wear something more sexy? Tracy said there was an incidence of sexual assault earlier, and she didn't want that happen to her. Moreover, she was also carrying a donation box. She went on to say that her manager saw a strange man lurking around, she was warned not to go near him.

Fala also joined in half way, helped carrying the donation box yesterday. She stated that one of her friends family lives in Taiwan Gaoxiong, fortunately they are in the city and were not affected. "If I am not working, I would be visiting Taiwan. (Are you not worried that you may be a hindrance to the rescue effort? Fala replied "I will go with a friend as a private visit. I hope to take along some material things and make a donation of five figure sum of money to help them rebuild their home."

Southern Taiwan experienced serious damages and flooding from the recent typhoon. Tonight Hong Kong Artists gather for the disaster relief. Last night, more than a hundred artists recorded a theme song for the Disaster Relief for promotional purposes. In order to respect the event, the organizer Eric Tsang created a strict dress code for the artists. Justin Lo put the dress code in the "test", but the kind-hearted Eric generously let him go for that.

"Artistes 88 Fund Raising Campaign" (8.8水災關愛行動) is held tonight (Monday 8/17/09). The other night nearly 150 local HK artists prepared for this event, as they arrived together in TVB City to record for the campaign's theme song "Rippling Thousand Mile Heart" (滔滔千里心). Artists who attended includes: Alan Tam, Eric Tsang, Chilam Cheung, Yumiko Cheng, and a bunch of TVB/ATV artists. Even Joey Yung who just finished with the "Summer Popl Live in HK" concert last night came on time at 12pm to record the song.

However, none of the Gold Label artistes came! Gold Label's spokesperson explained that because TVB notified them too late, the singers had to preform "Summer" and was unable to prepare in time. But tonight, they sent out 8 artistes to perform including Justin Lo. As the organizers prohibits artistes to wear hats, the spokesperson said that they will need to get a better understanding from TVB.

To respect the disaster relief event, as one of the organizers Eric Tsang expressed on stage that he hoped that all of the Artistes could dress the same, which poses an image of unity. But only Justin who did not follow the same style, yesterday Eric responded to this in another view and pardoned Justin. He said: "This is his personal signature style. I will respect that, I wouldn't want him to wear a wig to the event."

Michael Tse black face
Last night before recording, Eric explained the dress code to the participating Artistes: "If you did not have a white shirt, you can request one from the department. If you have a low-cut shirt on, you must change it. I hope everyone takes off their sunglasses, don't wear hats or roll up your sleeves. Especially on Monday, blue jeans are preferred. We will give out white T-shirts, I hope you all do not break the rules." Because time was tight, many Artistes violated the dress code. Michael Tse who had a jacket on was told by Eric to take it off immediately, his face turned black as he flings off his jacket. Alan Tam arrived late and wore the wrong shirt, he wore a black outfit.

Michael Tse happy that LAUGHING GOR movie is did well on ticket sales

Michael Tse especially came back from Mainland to attend "Turning Point" (Laughing Gor Movie) advance screening and found out that the tickets were selling well. Michael was happy to hear this, it felt like an encouragement shot was given to him. The day his new movie goes on the big screen, he will face it with a normal mood, he doesn't want to give himself too much pressure. It was said that the movie is releasing near the time "Harry Potter" is released, Michael expressed that he's not sure. He said that "Harry Potter" is a western film, he felt that if his movie does well in the local cinemas, then it's already enough. He also joked that Laughing Gor can't play magic, so it will be hard to compare the two movies.

Fala does not mind getting the limelight stolen

This is the first time Fala Chen was beaten by Koni Lui in sexiness, where she steals the limelight. But, Fala generously expressed that she doesn't mind. Fala also tried to sweet talk saying that the male actors for the film is going to protect the ticket sales, so she does not need to worry. Speaking of the kissing scenes with Michael in the movie, she frankly said that this is her first on-screen kiss, she has never done a kissing scene in series before. Fala is a very conservative person, when she saw the script, she bounced a bit in shock. Besides, Ms. Lok and Michael have already discussed it with her for a long period prior to filming the scene. The scene talked about how she took the initiative to kiss Michael, in the end the scene was successful after 4 takes.

Michael Tse is the male lead for "Turning Point" (Laughing Gor Movie) and it has been one of the focus points. The other hot topic is "Laughing So", which was fought over for by TVB fadans. In the end, the role was given to Fala Chen, which has been very high profiled. First time being male lead for a movie, Michael Tse along with Fala who's making her first appearance on the big screen, what kind of chemical effect will happen?

In the new movie, Fala plays Michael's lover (named Karen), but she frankly said there are not many love or dating scenes, but there are some kiss scenes. Although the action scenes left her with bruises and scrapes, but that did not scare her, she even said that she wants to be a fighter. Boyfriend seeing her all hurt, did he feel heartbroken? Fala said: "I have no boyfriend." Michael felt that Fala definitely has the potential to be a fighter girl, he smiled: "Fala has background in exercise, flexible body, when I take her out for a run, she runs faster than me!" Michael Tse always did not want to talk too much about the kiss scenes with Laughing So, when Reporters chased and asked him, it turns out that they have a superficial style kiss, no wonder he had no pressure and did not feel awkward. "It was a comfortable kiss, it felt pretty good." Since being in the industry for 22 years, it is his first time as a male lead for a movie, Michael expressed that he's not pressured: "I am not a newcomer, I am not new to movies, 5 years ago I filmed a movie (地下秩序) in Taiwan before and also this time I already collaborated with most of the cast before, always trying to accommodate as much as I can during filming. The most important is to have an explanation for the audience, good feedback, everything else is not important and is not under my control. Of course, I do hope that the movie will do well."

Fala Thankful for Franisc Ng's teachings

"Turning Point" is Fala's first movie, asked if she hopes to win the newcomer award? She said: "I have been filming TV series for 3 years already, I have some experience, but filming movies is just the beginning. At first I wasn't used to it, fortunately Francis Ng was there to help me and give me advice. He taught me how to act, he also told me not to be too nervous. But, I don't know if I did good or bad, so I don't dare to say I want an award. I of course hope to be like Kate Tsui and get the newcomer award though, but let fate decide!"

No Boyfriend

After Fala completes "The Legend of Pu Song Ling", she will take a break and go scuba diving for a week. She'll probably be coming back to HK all tanned to attend the promotions for the movie. Asked if her rumored boyfriend Neway Star's young master (薛世恆) will be going with her? Fala said: "I don't have a boyfriend. I just haven't seen my parents for a while, so I'm taking a short break to go back and see them, and to go scuba diving while I'm at it."

Ron and Sammul appeared in "Laughing gor apostasy" for free

Michael Tse was filming "Laughing Gor of apostasy" in Tsim Sha Tsui yesterday. Ron Ng and Sammul Chan were acting as police officers who were trying to give Michael a parking ticket in the street. Michael called up over 10 of his gang to threaten the policemen. He was very cheeky to the two, even recorded the incidence, threatening the two, saying he would put the recording in the internet if the two continued to make trouble for him. When Michael left the scene with his gang, he was seen throwing his lucky 5 dollar coin up and down.

Ron and Sammul only worked on that scene for one day, they expressed that they were bullied by Michael. Asked if they were paid to do that part, they replied "No, we support the Hong Kong film industry, payment is not important to us as long as we are happy." Ron said he didn't know he had a part in it originally, he only got the notice few days ago. Reporter asked whether he thought his part was too small, Ron said that was good enough. Ron and Sammul expressed their wishes to work with Anthony Wong so that they might learn something from him, but it was a pity they missed that chance.

When Michael was filming that day, he attracted a lot of onlookers who wanted to take pictures with him. He said that scene was the ending part. The reporter asked how come he didn't disclose that Ron and Sammul were in fact Chung Lap Man and Lee Pak Kiu from "EU"? Michael replied "This is because the timing was not right, we don't want to confuse the audience. They wore the police uniform, they do look like the police in EU, but we want to let the audience to have their own imagination" Asked if he felt the part the two played was small? Michael said the film is only 2 hours long, that depends what people meant by small part. Some people has a part only lasted for a few seconds in a film, timing is not that important sometimes.

Talking about Anthony Wong complained about the mess up on the filming schedule. Michael told the reporter to ask Anthony himself as he goes to work everyday when he gets his notice, he doesn't know if there is any mess up. There were reports that Anthohy and Francis Ng received payment of 1,200,000 HKD each, even though Michael is the lead actor, he only gets 100,000HKD. Michael smiled "Some reported 1,200,000 and others said 2,000,000, I wonder if anyone gets 8 figure sum. In fact, the fees are confidential, it is not easy for people to find out." The reporter went on to ask if he is worried that there is a big discrepancy between his fee and Anthony's? Michael said "I am happy to say that at least they didn't report that I only get 500 dollars." Michael said he dared not ask how much Anthony's fee is because it is not important. He felt the media is using it as a gossip topic and he is happy for what he gets.
