Raymond Lam will soon be going to Singapore for stage work and then to Malaysia for his Christmas concert. Yesterday he attended a NIKON event and expressed that he wants to buy a newer model camera to snap pictures at the local area. He even hopes that the advertisers could give him a discount for the camera. Will he take pictures of hot girls with the camera? He laughed: "I'm going to take pictures of Bernice Liu! (Not leaving that for Moses Chan?) If he wants to, then I can let him."

Raymond reveals that in December he will be going to Malaysia for a Christmas show, next year he will start preparing for his first Mandarin album. He hopes for the best. This year he has no series, so no chance for TV King, however he personally has watched Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang's "Rosy Business" and strongly supports them to win the awards. He praises that the two of them are great actors.

Linda Chung attended Shaw Brothers' "72 tenants" blessing ceremony yesterday. She revealed that she started learning Wing Chun specially for the role she plays in the film. Unfortunately during practice, she had injured her shoulder. Since learning Wing Chun, she feels her muscles are stronger and she has lost a bit of weight too.

Linda expressed that there was a scene where she had to fight against 10 people, just like Ip Man. That is why she wanted to learn Wing Chun. After three sessions, she had cramps and injured her shoulder. In the film, she plays the role as Wong Cho Lam's girl friend whilst Eric Tsang and Anita Yuen are her parents. Talking about Cholam and her are very different in height, Linda disclosed that they have a kissing scene as well. Reporter asked if she minds having a boyfriend who is shorter than her? Linda said frankly "In reality, I will not look for shorter guy. The most important thing is about "feel" and "good timing"".

Yesterday Raymond Lam appeared at a Christmas event and looked tired. He revealed that he just returned from Shanghai to attend a ribbon cutting event and because of the local temperatures, he fell caught a cold while coming back to Hong Kong. In the recent years, Raymond has been very busy working, he admitted that this year he had to pay off over a million in taxes, quite painful. He said: "Actually my income grows every year, but I haven't done many series lately, so I had more opportunities to go out and earn real money! Next year, I will be even busier, working on a new film and will soon start recording for my new Mandarin album. But what I really want is to open a few more concerts."

Linda Chung's changing scene in "Cross Boundary Exploration"


Kate Tsui & Michael Tse's scene in "Martial Arts Master"

TVB's 2010 Sales Presentation broadcast brave revealing clips of Linda Chung changing and Kate Tsui and Michael Tse sex scene. In both clips, the artistes appeared half-naked, which sets a challenge to the television standards!

Earlier Fala Chen's bra scene in TVB series "The Stew of Life" received 26 complaints by the Broadcast Authority. But TVB only claimed that it was necessary for the scene as an excuse. On the night of the Sales Presentation, TVB again broadcasts hot girls Linda Chung and Kate Tsui revealing "skin" to attract the advertisers.

In the clip, the scene talked about a pseudo-model ("leng mo") played by Linda Chung changing and someone was peeping in. The camera angle shows that she was completely naked, with her private parts blacked out (covered). Linda who studied in the States said: "I already filmed this scene! I feel that if its necessary for the scene, then it is not a problem. The awareness is ok too! Actually the scene talked about someone secretly recording the "leng mo". For this scene, I already did all the precautions needed. I used silk stockings and leggings underneath!"

Another series that did a brave scene was Kate Tsui and Michael Tse's ancient drama "Martial Arts Master", revealing the two half-naked! Kate said that when its time for the official filming, she will study the story in detail, "Actually Michael and I were very conservative! It is just a sales presentation clip, if it was the actual filming, I will study the scene in detail and see if it is really that necessary! Of course it is best to just maybe do the basics!" Asked if this is a challenge to the television standards? Kate said: "Nope! Ancient dramas have their ancient costumes. I actually had on a stomacher ("to dou"), it is just the camera angle that makes it look like we are half-naked. It gives a larger room for audience to imagine!"

The first news articles about this series had already been described as the “Hong Kong version of Detective Galileo”, even if it is or is not a remake of the Japanese series, the fact that it is targeting the collaboration of Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung and Kenneth Ma is already worth anticipating. The trio’s last collaboaration was seven years earlier in the series, “Eternal Happiness”! The youngsters of that time have now all gone through and experienced adulthood and can lament that time flies.

Said to be similar to “Detective Galileo”, the producer in fact says that it is merely the characterisation of the leads that are similar, a physicist male lead and a newcomer police officer female lead. Raymond’s detective character is always dressed in a dress suit, with a tie or bow, all combining with his handsome aura for a perfect match. Once filming begins, he has an air of coolness that sets him apart from normal people and Raymond’s dialogue is full of physics terms and concepts. This is pitiful for Raymond, who in his school days was only mediocre at physics and to have to memorize these complex terms wihich are totally foreign to him. It seems that the title of “NG King” may be heading towards him, add oil Raymond!

Tavia, however, has a more relaxed and comfortable time filming, such that you really want to tell her, “this is work, not play”, but each time you see her happy face, you want to join in with the fun too. With her long hair tied in a ponytail and a wardobe of always fashionable checkered shirts, Tavia’s look of a cool policewoman comes right out. Standing next to Raymond, the other anticipated point of the series comes out, that is Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung are finally playing a couple, since the fateful separation in “Twin of Brothers”. This time, both play male and female lead in this relaxed modern love story, it’s anticipated that they will finally end up together this time round.

But how is that we have yet to see the romantic sweet scenes and we already see the sad break up scene? Detective Lam and Sergeant Tavia were “negotiating” at the piers but eventually it still ended in a break up. Tavia, who is known for her crying scenes, cried extremely professionally, and then inhaled a large amount of the sea water in the air, causing her throat to be both itchy and hurt. Detective Lam, you really are very heartless, really paralleling the heartless and emotionless attitude of Masaharu Fukuyama’s character in Detective Galileo. However, once filming stops, Tavia wipes dry her eyes and blows her nose before returning to the smiling carefree Tavia and jumps down from the box. It turns out that to adjust to Raymond’s height, Tavia must use a wooden box. Though this scene is very saddening and heartbreaking, but the producer has opened up and said that the series is all about love and romance and so I (the reporter) trust the producer’s word and anticipate the scenes to come.

How about our playboy cop Kenneth Ma? Like Officer Tavia, he also has to suffer under the changing weather to arrest criminals and doesn’t have Professor Lam’s luxury of peacefully enjoying the air condition. However, Kenneth has another extra luxury! Just seeing him surrounded by beauties of different countries, it can already be observed that he is enjoying alot of attention from the opposite gender, not to mention that he has intimate scenes with model Lisa S. Though Officer Tavia has a tough time, in the end she gets her happy ending. Professor Lam recieves a Physics award at some award ceremony and still in his tuxedo attire, rushes to Officer Tavia to propose. It seems that the previous depressing breakup scene was just a small climax. But it seems that Tavia is a little afraid to accept Professor Raymond’s marriage proposal, she’s agraid she will be hunted down by the latter’s fans! So it’s better off to be “brothers” after all.

Linda Chung appeared at the recording for TVB’s J2 Programme "N.I.B" ( My Name Is邦) yesterday. She stated that she wasn't worried host Amigo Chui would be hard on her with his questions. She said "I am not afraid of him asking about my rumours because there is nothing. I can answer the questions openly. The reason I have come on the show this time is to promote my album". Linda also revealed that she had been watching TV series (Beyond the Realm of Conscience). "I really enjoy watching it. It would be great if I could play Tavia’s role in the series. I would like to portray a villain role. I have never played an evil character before. I always play the good roles but it’s quite difficult playing these roles too. In addition, I would like to portray a blind and handicap person”. (Who do you think will receive the TV Queen award?) “I think Sheren Tang or Tavia Yeung will be awarded the award”.

As TVB's "biological daughter", Linda Chung attended the "All Singers for TVB 42nd Anniversary Special 2009" earlier and was arranged to stand alongside Joey Yung, Eason Chan, Leo Ku and all the other first line singers in the first row. Yesterday Linda attended the Metro Music Awards conference and expressed that that day when TVB chose who will be part of the big group song, they also did the arrangements for the positions. She discovered that she will be standing in the first row and was shocked herself. Linda said: "I was also very surprised and nervous, have to work harder to sing the songs. When I knew I found out I was standing on the front row I let out a "Oh no" sound, I need more time to rehearse."

Reporters said that TVB really cares for her, Linda said: "They have always been like that. (Great pressure? Counterproductive?) This is just a standing position, it's not doing anything. (Does it represent that you will get an award?) This is what the heavens and TVB decided, I am just responsible for singing good songs. I only listen to what TVB arranges for the standing positions." Is she afraid that other singers will be jealous? She said she won't because it is not under her control and also there will always be people who don't like her and people who will, it is enough to do your best on your own part.
