TVB will begin airing new series "The Brink of Law" on Monday and a promotional event was held at a hotel swimming pool yesterday morning, attended by cast members including Steven Ma, Ron Ng, Shirley Yeung, Sherming Yiu, June Chan, Karen Lee, Yoyo Chan and Kenneth Ma. Ron arrived 45 minutes late and was first to be pushed into the pool as a punishment by the girls, whilst producer Mui Siu Ching said to him on the microphone: "Don't be late next time!" Afterwards, Ron said that Siu Ching was right and he knows what he did was wrong. He says: "Sorry, I feel bad because I set my alarm wrong. The event started at 11am, but I set the alarm to go off at 11:30."
Although it was quite cold yesterday, the pool was heated, so the girls all appeared in their swimsuits and showed off their figures in the water. Shirley's costume was quite conservative though and she says this is because they have to play games so she had to avoid exposing herself, so she chose a sportier swimsuit. As a result, with their better figures, Sherming, June and Karen stole most of the limelight in their bikinis. Shirley said graciously: "It doesn't matter, it is all just for the promotion. (Does your boyfriend not like you looking sexy?) Of course not! The most important thing was not to expose myself during the games." Shirley had to rush off to another event afterwards, so she was keeping a close guard on her hairstyle during the games and avoiding getting it wet.
Kenneth appeared wearing two pairs of shorts, cycling and beach shorts and he smiles: "It doesn't really matter what the men wear, we are all just here to see the ladies." As he does not know how to swim, he was just concerned about not getting embarrassed and not drowning and therefore he did not mind not winning the games. He smiles: "I play football, but I won't find love doing that, so I want to start playing badminton instead! (Is your new year wish to look for a girlfriend?) No, making money still comes first. When I sort myself out, then it will be easier."
Steven also appeared in his cycling shorts and did not wear any swimming trunks. He says that since he was young, he usually wears shorts because he says his bum looks too good and when he wears cycling shorts then other people get jealous. Asked if he would wear trunks to do a fashion show, he says: "You would have to give me time to get fit and a large six-figure sum as a fee because it would be my first time. I was approached by a thermal underwear company from the mainland earlier, but underwear is a little too close fitting, so I turned it down." If the ratings are good for "Brink" will you wear some small trunks? He says: "I am very miserly when it comes to these things. Give me more money because I am guarding my first time. When the right situation arises and the reward is right, then I will give my debut performance."
Steven also says that each time a new series is released, then people will pledge to appear in swimwear, but this rarely materialises. He finds this a little boring so promising a big meal is more practical. What would be a suitable rating for the first week? He says: "I hope for above thirty, because the ratings for 'Dicey Business' were not bad and we should be able to follow them."
TVB's new series "The Brink of Law" will begin airing next Monday after the end of "Dicey Business". As this show deals with combatting illegal gambling on horses, a group of cast members took part in a promotional event at the Shatin Racecourse and those present included Steven Ma, Bernice Liu, Shirley Yeung, Kate Tsui, Michelle Yim, Ron Ng and Kenneth Ma. As well as playing games, the stars also posed for photographs with the horses. However, they were not very co-operative, losing his temper and leaving droppings everywhere, so there was a lot of waiting around before they could successfully complete the photographs. During the shooting game, Steven accidentally aimed the gun at the floor, dropping all the pellets and causing everyone to laugh at him. Ron was blindfolded for his shot and this frightened everyone into running away.
Steven appeared wearing a smart suit and he smiles that he only realised yesterday that he only had one tie at home that he has worn before, so he had no choice but to wear it again. This is Steven's first show to be aired after winning an award at last year's Anniversary awards and he feels that this series has given him the chance to work with many new faces and will help him create some new chemistry.
Steven points out that in the show he plays brothers with Kenneth Ma and they are both referred to as 'Ma Jai' as a nickname. There is also a crew member from props who is called 'Ma Jai', so there are three of them. Originally, the crew had decided to refer to Steven as 'Siu Ma Gor', but he felt that this was rather sensitive, so in the end, they decided on calling Steven 'Ma Jai', Kenneth 'Ma Ming' and the crew member 'Ma Ye'.
There were reports yesterday that Steven was forcefully pushing himself into photographs with an old granny. To this he responds: "I am innocent!" He explains that the granny had asked him earlier to have his photo taken with her, but because she stood away, he ran up to her to avoid her coming back, so it was all a misunderstanding. With these reports already so early on into 2007, Steven says: "I don't mind, it shows my attraction. At first, I was a bit shocked that they were reporting about an old lady, but I don't really mind about reports like this."
Ron had earlier been linked with Toby Leung in rumours during the filming for "Men in Pain" and with the news breaking that he had spent New Years Eve celebrating with her and Raymond Lam in a bar, then of course the press questioned him about this. He says: "Raymond Lam was also there that night and a male artiste from the mainland artiste who is wokring with us in 'The Drive of Life'. We openly allowed the press to take photographs." He says that Toby also had other friends in the bar and as they played lovers in 'Men in Pain' and again in 'The Drive of Life', then they are good friends.
Asked if he is interested in courting her, he smiles: "No, she is an executive's daughter! (Are you not brave enough to pursue?) No, we are just friends." There were also reports that he and Raymond were drunk on that night and only left the bar at 11am the next day. Ron syas that it was their friend who was drunk and they waited together for him to wake up before leaving together. Of course they also drank, because having a little alcohol on New Years Eve is no problem.
So does going to a bar with Raymond make him a big hit with the girls? He syas that there were a lot of other friends there. Asked who he hugged after the countdown, he says that he was taking part in the countdown in Yuen Long and then he hugged Raymond. Asked if he would like to regain some popularity with "The Brink of Law", he played along and says: "Yes I want to spring back."
Bernice was born in the year of the horse, so she has always loved horses. When she was younger, she once told her mother not to have a pet dog any more and keep a pet horse instead, laughing that it could live under her bed. she says that Michelle did take her to the racecourse to experience it before and she realised that people in Hong Kong own horses to race, but if she was to own a horse, then she would keep in the grassy fields of Canada. Talking of her role in this new series, Bernice says that it is a new trial for her because as well as being slapped by Michelle, she is also hit by Eliott Yue.
Kate was dressed in a short skirt, revealing her rather thick legs. She says that she has been working on losing weight and has already reduced a lot of water mass. She has recently been introduced by a friend for a detox treatment that has reduced her water retention and now she has to depend on machines to help her slim the bottom half of her body. However, this is quite expensive, so she has to work hard to make money to stay beautiful. She also says that when she was filming for "On the First Beat" (aka 'Cadets on the Beat') she was like a tomboy so she lost interest in making herself up. Now she is filming for "The Entire City Dances" and has the chance to wear pretty clothing again, so she is starting to concentrate on her appearance again.
Recently the fortune tellers have said that Shirley has good luck this year and a chance of getting married in 2007. She smiles that she is happy to hear that she will have good luck, but she will not be getting married so soon. She says: "Unless it is a lightning marriage, but I don't think so. (What if there was a third person?) What? A dog? No. I like my job at the moment." She says that she has dated her boyfriend for several years and it is fashionable to have a long marathon of love, but she does intend to have children after she gets married. Shirley indicates that usually she does not dare to have her fortune read because it is ok if they say something good, but if they say something bad, then it will leave a shadow.
Shirley Yeung, Ron Ng and Jolie Chan took part in the Yuen Long New Years celebrations, attracting a crowd of around three hundred people. Usually unafraid of talking about her romances, Shirley seemed to have a change of heart yesterday and when asked if will see in the new year with her boyfriend, she says: "I don't know. I will be dining with my family. (How about your boyfriend?) Maybe he will have to be with his family." After saying this, she adds that she is pleased that she is not filming this year over the festive season, so she can take on external shows and make some extra money.
As for Jolie, who even brought her own party hat, she says that in the new year, she hopes to further her career in music, TV and film, but she would also like to get married in the next few years: "Age 25 is like a checkpoint, I don't want to keep floating around. I plan to get married after I am 30, so I have to work hard in my work for the next six years." She also reveals that she sees Maggie Cheung Man Yuk as her target and she will watch 100 films a day to perfect her acting.
Ron Ng and Shirley Yeung were in New York this Christmas to make money doing a stage performance; they were invited to be the performing guests at a promotional function held by a cosmetic centre. Due to the tight schedule, they immediately went to their performance site for a last practice for the show held the next day, after their arrival at noon. Although it’s the first time going to New York for the both of them, the atmosphere created by the audience was great and “encore” was even requested a few times. Both of them performed 4 songs and successfully finished all their performances; Ron even had the chance to a “friendly competition” with a male dancer there and even became friends, making an appointment at New York in May to learn off of him. As for Shirley, she went shopping after the show.
After the performance, they both had an hour of free time where Shirley immediately went shopping and spent a 5-digit amount to buy Christmas presents for her friends and family, as well as choosing over 10 pairs of shoes for herself, complimenting it’s nice and cheap/inexpensive. Ron though, didn’t get too much and only did some window shopping. After the shopping, although it was already dark and they were tired, they still chose to go around for a car ride and went to Times Square, being able to see the grandness and the atmosphere of a holiday.
Towards this trip to New York, both of them thought it was spent well and happily, taking work like entertainment. But Shirley is still slightly disappointed because she was unable to personally see the scenery when it is snowing. And Ron had always wished for a tour around New York and this time it’s finally granted; the most important though, is being able to see the fans that have supported him for years and he hopes there would be another chance for him to go around and shop more.
Shirley Yeung's popularity has shot up after signing for a slimming company and at a 'Snap Shot' promotion earlier, the contestants were all crowding around to check out her 34C-23-33 figure and young girls were eager to ask for her advice on beauty and figure enhancement.
In Shirley's latest set of ads, she appears in a little blue top and a super-mini skirt, looking sexy but healthy. The focus of the ads is on her beautiful legs and asked if she is happy with them, she says: "In the past, I was like the majority of girls, feeling their lower body was bloated and heavy and thinking I was fat, but unable to lose it no matter what was tried, especially around the hips and thighs. Now after doing this job, I realise that this is due to water retention and not fat."
Shirley's image consultant has emphasised the focus on her legs by choosing a rather conservative top for her, giving a slightly suggestive feeling and encouraging people to take a second look. Asked what advice she has for people, Shirley replies: "This season it is all about focusing on yourself. Choosing out the area that is the problem and finding the best solution for it. So if you want to lose fat, then you should choose the best product to use specifically for this."
Shirley Yeung has recently become spokesperson for slimming company and yesterday, she was at a promotional event in Causeway Bay, where she appeared in a low cut top and a mini skirt, attracting a mainly male audience. As the road was rather narrow and stuffed full of press, there was some confusion and the police had to be called to maintain the order and send away some people, delaying the event by some 35 minutes, but Shirley's appearance was welcomed by the audience.
Yesterday was also Shirley's 26th birthday and the organisers had arranged a birthday cake for her as they MC's led the audience in singing 'Happy Birthday' to her and making her very happy. However, as her clothes were too sexy, there was an embarrassing incident at one point when she stood in a draught whilst being escorted in by security and her skirt was blown up, revealing her shorts underneath and leaving her scrabbling to push down her skirt.
Shirley says that after using this product, she has enhanced her breasts and her weight has returned to what she was at when she entered for Miss Hong Kong. When asked whether she felt embarrassed dressed so sexily in the streets, she says: "This is actually a sporty healthy look today, I can accept this." As for whether she can accept a bikini, she says that she will never wear a bikini in the street. Shirley was very touched that so many people sung a birthday song for her and said: "I have already received many presents this year, including my boyfriend's that was bought from America - a special edition watch." She also says that she had a celebration with her fans the night before and her birthday wish is for good health and a successful career.
