TVB Celebrity News

Yesterday Oscar Leung and Mandy Wong were recording for TVB food show My Private Kitchen. Oscar and Mandy were dressed in red and white outfits because their episode will be broadcasting during the Lunar New Year. The two looked just like a couple. When asked if they're planning to continue the 'couple team' and earn money together? Oscar said: "Of course I hope so too, I heard her (Mandy) say she has a fortune of bringing 'prosperity to husband'. She said Him Law was initially really shabby, but after she collaborated with him in Suspects in Love, his popularity went on the uprise and everybody knew him. After I collaborated with her in L'Escargot, I got a lot more jobs and even got movie opportunities. She recently got a skincare endorsement, and on the day of the press conference, she will be taking me along to be the guest performer. We will be singing and dancing, and earn some money."

Mandy admitted she did become the spokesperson for a skincare product, but she got the job before she won the 'Most Improved Actress' award and she didn't get a pay raise yet. She said: "Don't listen to him (Oscar), he's just speaking nonsense and playing a joke on me. I didn't say Him was shabby, I told him someone told me I have a nose that could bring prosperity to my husband. It's more like I want him to bring me into movies."

Rebecca Zhu and Mandy Wong attended TVB's celebration for the "December Birthdays" employees. Mandy will be turning 30 on December 21st, which is coincidentally Dooms Day. She laughed and said none of her friends are willing to spend the day with her, but she does hope something good will happen before Dooms Day. "This year I'm stepping into a new stage in life, turning 30. I hope I'll get a birthday gift at the anniversary awards and a turning point for myself as I develop further into the second half of my life."

Rebecca said she celebrated her 25th birthday with a group of friends at a karaoke a few days ago, and got several surprises. She got a leopard birthday cake, but didn't get any underwear of that style. She laughed and said she's very "heavy aftertaste". She also exposed she has a pursuer, and when asked what he did for her for her birthday? Rebecca smiled sweetly: "He didn't celebrate my birthday with me, but did give me a very heartwarming and useful gift. I'm very happy." She expressed they are still friends, and she needs more time to get to know him better. Her birthday wish is to make improvements in her acting and gain audience recognition.

This is Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu's first Mid-Autumn Festival after their break up. Busy working on their own jobs, Bosco is currently focused entirely on shooting for his new series A Good Heart Goes Haywire where he works with Myolie's close friend Mandy Wong.

Last night, Bosco, Mandy and Vincent Wong were shooting a scene by the harbor. The scene was about the three of them as good friends, chatting by the harbor. It appeared Mandy had a secret she was hiding from the other two, so Bosco and Vincent pretended to push her into the water attempting to force her speak the truth. Although the filming location was a quiet area, Bosco still had fans waiting to see him. There were also a lot of onlookers. There was one fan girl who wanted to take pictures with Bosco, but unfortunately each time she approached him at the wrong time, when the cameras were rolling and Bosco was forced to politely decline. When the cameras stopped rolling, he took initiative and walked up to take a picture with her. The fan felt so loved!

Earlier a magazine reported Myolie Wu and her close friends including Mandy Wong and Nancy Wu were badmouthing Bosco together. Collaborating with her good friend's ex-boyfriend, Mandy felt a little awkward. Off cameras, Bosco and Mandy had no interaction. Bosco only chatted with Vincent, while Mandy sat alone to the side. It was understood, Myolie's other good friend, Elaine Yiu, is also in this series, but she knows Bosco more and didn't feel awkward around him.

Back to being single, Myolie is often having parties with her friends and often posts the pictures on Weibo. She is actively preparing herself for a new relationship.

Him Law has become the new generation Siu Sang, this year he had series broadcasting one after the other, L'Escargot, The Hippocratic Crush, Tiger Cubs and the latest Divas In Distress. He is also currently shooting grand production Triumph in the Skies II. In real life, Him and Tavia Yeung are together, but in series Him has a lot of fate with Mandy Wong. Divas In Distress is Him and Mandy's 5th collaboration. It looks like TVB has really made them into an on-screen couple and are not worried of boring the audience. As for Mandy, her on-screen partner isn't Him, but rather with Oscar Leung instead.

Mandy said: "Perhaps being with Oscar in L'Escargot as Kwan Yee Gor and Kwan Yee So has left a deep impression on audience, and the public sees us as a married couple. However, there is a different feeling with Him Law. Previously in Suspects In Love and Tiger Cubs, we were not passionately in love, it was ambiguous and really had the taste of a pair of lovers. This time in Divas In Distress, it's already our 5th collaboration. Honestly, I was afraid audience would get bored of watching us, but luckily the reactions was really good. I have to thank all the aspects, such as the background English songs, the outcome was really good."

Boyfriend and Husband

Mandy joked Him is her 'boyfriend', while Oscar is her 'husband'. In order to have a refreshing feeling, it is likely they will really have to 'breakup' and 'divorce'. Mandy said: "Actually I debuted around the same time as them and producers often cast us together. In The Hippocratic Crush, I was initially linked with Kenneth Ma, but later developed with Benjamin Yuen, which was also well-received. If I have the opportunity to work with Wayne Lai or Roger Kwok, of course I'll be happy."

Not My Cup of Tea

Asked if she'll develop feelings for Him Law since they always see each other? Mandy said: "Him's not my cup of tea. It's great being friends with him though. We have collaborated many times and have the chemistry. I usually say we're good sisters, but Him says we're good brothers. He takes good care of his partner, but I like the matured types. There is too much sunshine in Him, he gives off a feeling of first love. He's also a little clumsy too, I want someone with the sense of security, a matured guy that can take care of me."

Grateful for Liza Wang's Advices

Him was asked if he had any pressure collaborating with Liza Wang and Gigi Wong in Divas In Distress? He said: "Very happy to collaborate with the two seniors and learn from them. I didn't have to worry about making mistakes. Ah Jeh Liza gave me a lot of advice because we had many scenes together. Ah Jeh's speaks with authority, since she's experienced, her advice is definitely helpful. I personally like to work with seniors, otherwise there won't be as many learning opportunities. Also, they're our support in the series, so I can feel more comfortable."

It was rumored Liza is nicknamed 'Producer Wang', has Him been frightened by her? "No, actually we had a very enjoyable collaboration. Most important is to do your part, be familiar with the script and don't be late. That is a must. When Liza sees you that don't have the right expression, she will speak up. When I become a senior in the future, I will be the same as her. Juniors have to understand what their seniors tell them. When seniors are willing to tell you, that means they value you. As a junior, you have to let people know you can accept opinions and advice." Liza plays Him's mother in the series, but what type of mother is Law Mama in real life? "My mom is very gentle with me and I was very attached to her when I was young. Actually my father and uncle were the strict ones, they discipline with some force. Traditional men from the village are usually like that. In the future when I have children, I will use the same method to teach them. Girls will require some patience to discipline and can't use force because that could leave scars. As for boys, they grow up through tripping and falling. When they make a mistake, they should be punished."

Goal: Most Improved Actor Award

When it comes to achievements in his career, does this mean becoming TV King? Him said: "I'm not considered very experienced. Who doesn't want a rapid rise, but you cannot rush it either. You have to take it slowly. Of course awards are important, but you cannot demand for one. When you shoot a series, it is not guaranteed that you'll get really popular, it's all about the right timing. My current goal is to get the 'Most Improved Actor Award', allowing people to see I'm a promising actor. I'll be happy enough with that award."

We remember Him was a film actor turned TV actor, does he hope to get back into films? He said: "I like both TV and film, they are both opportunities and I want to do well in it. I hope to complete my apprenticeship first before I get back into films and be able to show my improvements on the big screen."

[The rest is about Tavia Yeung. Him says his career is his utmost priority. Even after marriage, his career continues to be his priority. Regarding the news that he needs Tavia to support him, Him says artists must accept all types of news, good or bad, otherwise showbiz isn't for them. He says he's a traditional man, and is financially stabled. He hopes to buy his own home at the end of the year. He also doesn't mind working with Tavia in the future, since she is experienced and someone he can learn from.]

From Suspects in Love, L'Escargot, The Hippocratic Crush, Tiger Cubs to Divas In Distress, Mandy Wong and Him Law have already collaborated five times. Without prior consultation, they both expressed they have a familiar feeling mutually. Him Him compared them in Suspects In Love to them today, back then they were still in the stage of school boy and girl: "That time it was our naive period, then each time we collaborated again, we witnessed each others' improvements. I've realized I have quite a bit of fate with Mandy because I'm often playing a bickering pair with her. I can say I know her pretty well, even what she likes and doesn't like to eat, I remember it all." Although they aren't a couple in every series, Him Him thinks he's most comfortable with Mandy as an on-screen couple: "Because I really understand her rhythm, and we're also very good friends in real life. When we play a couple and have intimate scenes, there is no embarrassment between us. This makes our acting a lot more natural."

Grew Up Together

Mandy frankly expressed through her collaborations with Him Him, she's able to see their growth: "From our first series and the many different series we individually participated in, we both accumulated acting experience. Until we collaborated again this time, I can see we have both grew up and matured. Back in Suspects In Love, my relationship was with Him was more direct, but this time our romantic storyline is a lot longer and detailed. Its a refreshing love story." Mandy has scenes opposite of Him Him in many series: "When I first found out we were going to be a couple again, I was a little worried. I feared audience were already bored of watching us, but this time the public's reaction was definitely a surprise. Some viewers left messages, commenting on how their smiles came out from the heart as they watched the developments in our relationship. So, what pleases me the most this time is that we were able to bring out a new and refreshing feeling of love."

No Longer Impulsive

In the series, Chak Yau Sing is a person that is protected [by his mother]. Since his elder sister (Chak Ting Yam) passed away, his mother Ying Hung (Liza Wang) placed all her hopes on him. Him Him said the greatest breakthrough for him in playing Chak Yau Sing was he's no longer impulsive: "My past roles, such as Yu Hok Lai in Tiger Cubs, were all on the impulsive side, but Chak Yau Sing is more restrained because Liza Jeh's role has put a lot of pressure on him since youth. He is also a very contradicting person, often times he wants to be a big man, but on the inside he's still a little boy. To me, the role Chak Yau Sing, was slightly harder to grasp, but at the same time I think its very refreshing."

Takes More Initiatives Than Yau Sing

Chak Yau Sing went from hating Kwai Yee Hei to loving her, but he didn't have the courage to confess his love to her. He would just borrow his authority at work to order her to do things for him, just so he could spend more time with her. Him Him said, in reality, he definitely won't be as passive as Yau Sing: "Perhaps when it comes to love, every individual will display similar qualities as Yau Sing, like for example, if Yee Hei didn't take initiative to tell Yau Sing about her past, then Yau Sing wouldn't ask either. I would have the same thoughts too, but I wouldn't do what Yau Sing did because I understand one of us must take the first step. Especially as the guy, you cannot worry too much, after all I will forever be the one at fault. Haha."

Self-Regulation

Mandy plays Kwai Yee Hei, a renovation worker in training, she grew up with a bunch of men and an aunt Sing Ho (Gigi Wong) with a tomboy personality. Thus, she was raised to have a bold and frank personality as well. Mandy said she had to have self-regulation while shooting the series, "Yee Hei is a character tough on the outside, but soft on the inside. As the area she is most attractive is her interior pure and gentle personality, but she feels inferior about her background and past. When we were shooting, I cannot be too rough because Yau Sing will eventually fall for Yee Hei so I have to convey qualities of strong on the outside, but weak on the inside. This way, people can feel the pitiful love."

Similar to Kwai Yee Hei

Yee Hei likes to graffiti, even if she has to risk the danger of breaking the law, she still won't give up on it. Mandy believed she is similar to Yee Hei as she also does not give up on the things she likes to do, "I also like to focus on the things I like to do, such as acting. Aside from work, my view on love is the same as Yee Hei. Because Yee Hei feels inferior, she retreats from her relationship with Yau Sing. I'm not a courageous person myself and my views on love is similar, I would follow his footsteps, he takes a step, then I take a step."

The Most Touching Scenes

Him thought the most touching scene was when he helped Yee Hei fill out all the prize drawing tickets: "When Yee Hei stood there at the department store, having no idea what to do, Yau Sing comes up and helps her fill out all 60 plus tickets. I think a lot of people would think this was a touching scene too. When we were shooting that scene, I actually did write the three words 'Kwai Yee Hei' on each ticket, my hand got all numb."

Mandy thought the scene where she and Yau Sing were hugging on the busy street was the most touching: "That time, it was my first time shooting on the busy streets. There were people surrounding us from all around, I really had to focus on shooting the scene as if nobody was around. I could only do it when I see only Yau Sing in front of me."

A Word From the Producer

In Divas In Distress, almost everyone has some sort of grudge on the people around them. The two mothers are against one another and even the lovers have resentment. Producer Poon Ka Tak expressed he hoped to convey an important message through this drama: "There are a lot of people in this world, who each have something they aren't satisfied with and they often bring this resentment into life. But they have never thought if they were to put down the resentment, then life would feel a lot more relaxing. Many people say there is a Dooms Day but if it's true, then what are those resentments considered to be? Therefore, I hope viewers will not only enjoy watching the series but also understand this positive message."

Mandy Wong and Him Law were once a rumored couple, but are indeed very good friends in private. Facing a slow to get familiar Mandy, Him loves to challenge her limits the most. He does everything he could to make fun of her. It's not only until Mandy makes an angry face when Him feels entertained. Once he got his fun, he stops, no wonder Mandy also puts away her anger not long after. So that's why we say, there must be one 'concave' and one 'convex' for a successful friendship!



Rumored Couple Mutual Sarcasm

M - Mandy Wong ; H - Him Law

H: You basically don't want me to find out that you're actually secretly looking at me, otherwise how do you know I got a nice body! I really like teasing you, you're always just so silly and stupid, don't even know the basics. Like you don't even know how to put the plug in the socket right.

M: Girls want to wait for someone to come take care of her. I'm just playing dumb! Then how come you got yourself a 42' chest? When from a slim guy to a big guy?

H: I've watched too many Western films. I think besides the actor's acting, their body shape is also very important. So I copied them, and started working out when we were shooting Suspects in Love. Tak Gor (producer Poon Ka Tak) gave me two types of sports to choose from, I chose the sport where I can show my body, which was boxing.

M: Then you even changed your image completely?

H: Everyone accepted it after the series came out, and I even had to take off my shirt when I was interviewed, so I kept this secondary image. Well then, did I attract you?

M: You rarely take off your shirt in front of me. No! Because your chest is bigger than mines, I can't even compare if I put on 10 bras, but I don't really like slim figures. It's good to have some meat. You have your strengths too, considerate and attentive. Its quite enjoyable partnering up with you.

H: I know I got a bad mouth, always bullying you.

M: Yeah! I don't know how I handle it and don't attack back.

H: Because I'm a bite of sugar and another bite of feces.

M: That's just one of the tricks to pursue girls.

H: I pursued you before?

M: Nope! I mean you can use that when you pursue girls. I didn't say I like you either, you think too much and have a flirty mouth.

H: That's why I got you involved! In the 13 rumored girlfriends, your one of them. Luckily we don't mind.

M: Actually if I wanted to get to know a guy deeper, I'm actually very passive and slow to get familiar, but once I get familiar, I can tell you everything.

H: That time, you wanted to get to know me deeper.

M: Why? Don't make up a story!

H: Haha! That's why I like you getting bullied. When I tease you, once you get upset, I get really happy because I know you'll just be upset for a moment and then you'll be fine.

Wants A Matured Partner

M: To some extent, I understand you pretty well. Virgo men like to protect themselves. They may seem like they have a lot to say on the outside, but then they are really afraid to let people see deep inside.

H: That's why I'm not really friends with you, have to keep some distance, otherwise if I end up dragging you into something in the future, then that wouldn't be too good. When I'm in trouble, do people call you?

M: Basically whatever happens to you, people would call me immediately. The problem is I still need to find myself a partner too! About my requirements, I don't think age is much of an issue, the main requirement is he must be able to take care of me and be mature.

H: You're a 'little woman' in front of your lover. You really accommodate others and don't get upset easily. When I was younger and dated, I would think about the girl's height, but now I think more maturely. As long as we get along comfortably and have common ideals. Most important is, can this person be with you for life.

First On-Screen Kiss Given to Him

H: Back then I met you when we were shooting Suspects in Love. I thought you were really different on and off screen. In the series, you were really stupid, but after work, you're like a pretty girl. This is the most memorable, your first on-screen kiss was given to me, and you took the initiative too!

M: My first impression on you was that bad boy (死靚仔), but after getting to know you, it turns out you're quite a gentleman.

H: This series was our turning point. Bulky Boy and Shy Girl .

M: Before I was the mean "Kwan Yee So", people never forgotten the Shy Girl.

H: Then I had fate with you, I encountered you in every series. We had all sorts of relationships before, even as a couple. Even the producer didn't know we played a couple several times.

M: I thought I didn't have to kiss you in this series.

H: At first, you weren't willing to! It was only after they convinced you, that you were willing to.

M: She's a Shy Girl, how would she take the initiative to kiss a guy? Actually, I'm more than willing to give my first on-screen kiss to you, but if I don't have to, of course that's the best!

H: Perhaps you give people the impression that you take initiatives, but also hide your emotions at the same time. You have to spark with someone first. It is the slow to get familiar type.

M: During Suspects In Love, I thought we don't talk much, but surprisingly you provoked me to talk in the van.

H: You also didn't look like the Mandy you are today. I'm still the same Him, known to talk loudly. Do you remember in Suspects, I always went topless, and asked you why you were looking at me?

M: At the time, I was thinking "What are you doing? You think you're really hot?"

Epilogue: When Him & Mandy Meet, So Loud like a Street Market

On cameras, Mandy speaks a few words, but in private, she's such a chatterbox. She often adds a few English words too, making herself seem like a silly girl. Just like that day during the interview with Him kept teasing her, she couldn't find a place to jump in, but then she kept repeating to Him: "Ask me questions! (in English) Didn't you have a lot to say!" But, Him careless and continued to make his sarcastic look: "You keep repeating that statement, so noisy!" The two bickering constantly, neither of them were willing to give in, and eventually turned the whole restaurant into a "lively" and loud street market!"

A woman's lifetime job is to find a long-term food ticket! Currently in a very stable relationship with boyfriend Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu hopes her good sister Mandy Wong can find her happiness too, and does not mind being her match-maker. Myolie exposes Mandy is popular among the opposite sex and that she only likes the gaming world, relationships are secondary to her. Mandy refuted saying she's very faithful.

Meets senior Myolie and gets nervous

Myolie: You were my younger sister in 2009's A Chip off the Old Block, my impression on you was you're well-behaved, pretty and pure. Many newcomers have trouble with their lines, expressions, get really nervous and don't put in the effort. You didn't have any of these issues and was able to do what was expected of the role. You were a foolish girl that brought in the comedy.

Mandy: I was so nervous. It was considered my first series where I had more screen time.

Myolie: Which one was your first series?

Mandy: When Easterly Showers Fall On The Sunny West, A Chip off the Old Block was my third series.

Myolie: But after I got to know you, I think your too noisy!

Mandy: When I first met you, I didn't dare to make a sound. You were my big senior, when you were sitting on the seat, I was so nervous.

Myolie: But I'm so nice.

Chip Attack

Mandy: Well that's true, you always buy chips for us to eat.

Myolie: Because I want you all to get fat. Honestly, I think many newcomers don't have the natural talent and don't know how to act. When I first debuted, I was very nervous too and always kept my head down. One time, I even got yelled at by the director, but you had no problem. Later, I learned you had a background in performing arts, which is a plus.

Mandy: Well the co-stars are important too. A Chip off the Old Block, was considered my first series that I could relax and enjoy my role.


Get together for a Women's Day

Myolie: Do you remember how it was like when you first saw me?

Mandy: I thought this girl had heavy makeup on! I watched your series since I was young, my favorite one was Triumph in the Skies. People always say you're cool, but actually you're not. Actually you infected me with your enthusiasm, very comfortable and really have the sisterly feel.

Myolie: Because your so silly! We quickly got familiar and got along well. I have a lot of close friends in this industry, besides you there is also Nancy Wu and Sharon Chan, we occasionally keep in touch.

Mandy: After you became TV Queen, you kept digging for gold in Mainland, it's hard to keep in touch with you. The only way is through Weibo.

Seize Opportunity to Get Advice

Myolie: Then later me, you, Paisley Wu, Nancy Wu and Elaine Yiu made a Women's Day. Initially we said to have dinner once a month, but I was rather busier, and rising talents like yourself are catching up so rapidly, so all this time, we only had dinner once.

Mandy: Haha! Although you're never in Hong Kong, I still ask you for advice very often.

Myolie: I'm happy you trust me. I remember when you were shooting The Hippocratic Crush, you had some questions and came to ask me, it was pretty warm. I watched your L'Escargot too, I saw you dropping everything and just went to portray that role, and even said your lines so fast!

Mandy: You say your lines very quickly and clearly too, so I learn from you. When I was a newcomer and had questions, I asked you and you would be able to give me an answer. Even such nonsense, like what outfit to wear, I would ask you for advice. Later, I got really stressed from filming and felt unhappy, the first person I thought of was you, so I invited you out for advice.

Myolie: Last year you were a popular pick for the 'Most Improved Award', actually I really supported you and favored you for the award as well.

Desperate to Meet a 'Seun Poon' (Good Deal)

Mandy: When shooting Ghetto Justice, it was always just us two, I talked to you about guys and always asked you to introduce guys to me. You said if I found a marriage partner, remember to let you see him first.

Myolie: Yes! Earlier when you and Him Law were rumored, I gossiped about it too, seems like there was really something between you two, but you said no, so I believed you. I think you are pretty popular among the guys, there was a PA at TVB who liked you!

Mandy: Sorry, I'm a goddess to many PAs, but you need to hurry up and introduce me to someone!

Myolie: You Sagittarius people, love the gaming world, and don't really like to date.

Mandy: I do like to play, but I like mature men. Didn't you say you know a lot of lawyers and doctors?

Myolie: Even if I do, I'll save them for myself la!

Mandy: You're still choosing?

Myolie: But you really hurt the guys, just play a little with them and then toss them.

Mandy: I'm very faithful!

Myolie: Fine! I'll leave the good ones for you. In fact, you and I are quite similar, we are the workaholics and not considered the really beautiful girls. You have high flexibility [in acting], seeing you is like seeing myself. You've been a housewife, a well-behaved girl, a foolish girl, a mean girl. I hope to try out other different roles because one image is just really boring. Shooting 3-4 similar series a year would just be a killer. I support you for this year's 'Most Improved Artist' award, L'Escargot's Kwan Yee So was so amazing, being so open in your acting is already half way to success.

Mandy: How can I improve?

Getting up top is easy, keeping is difficult

Myolie: Some seniors have told me getting up top is easy, but keeping the position is difficult. I've been through a lot before I got to where I am today, and just starting to get more opportunities now. Midway through [the career], there is a bottleneck, after portraying so many types of roles, it starts getting repetitive and viewers start getting picky, so you should be mentally prepared for that.

Mandy: My previous two series, my roles have been disliked. At one point, I experienced personal attack and a lot of negative energy.

Myolie: I'm super negative too. We all have different cases. For you, it is because of the role, people hate you, means you have done well, but must listen to the opinions and reflect on them as well. Then when you can do it, people who said you were bad, will praise you and then no one can defeat you.

Mandy: That's pretty difficult! I think you have really high EQ, but acting cannot be forced.

Myolie: It took me several years to get it straight too. Also Damien Lau and Sunny Chan are two seniors that taught me a lot, so when you encounter a senior, don't be afraid to ask. Golden Faith, I had too many people praise me and I became complacent. I thought, it's not that hard, but no one told me, that the future would get even more difficult.

Mandy: It's such a benefit chatting with you!

Epilogue: Jarring Women

Mandy and Myolie seem gentle on the outside, but it turns out when the two come together, they can really get loud and unpleasant. During the interview, the two often laughed loudly without any restraint. When they spoke, they often added "s" after their English words, such as "oks", "hellos", or "byes". Sounds pretty strange actually, but they were speaking very smoothly. Mandy exposed this strange speaking style started from her, over time it infected her friends, including Myolie. When speaking of her 'crafty idea', Mandy foolishly said: "I think it's cute!"

Yesterday Mandy Wong and Kenneth Ma attended a No Smoking event. Mandy wil be taking two weeks off to New York for dance lessons and then enjoy the sun in Miami. She smiled and said perhaps she'll go for daring sunbathing: "I'll be more open in the US. (Want an one night stand too?) That's good too! (How long have you not been in a relationship?) I've had dates all along, but no development." Kenneth Ma smiled and said he cannot accept a girlfriend who smokes. When speaking of the possibility that he can't take part in Triumph in the Skies II, Kenneth said: "I should still be in it, TVB don't have enough artists!"

On Monday at midnight, a 23 year old female artist was sexually assaulted at a Tsim Sha Tsui recording studio, where celebrities frequently hang out. Because of the female victim's privacy, the only information available is a description of the victims' characteristics and her identity has not been made public. Everyone is now speculating on who this female artist may be.

Aside from the public targeting 23 year old female artists, 29 year old TVB actress Mandy Wong has been one of the suspects. In the past several days, Mandy has been busy shooting series, yesterday she said over a phone interview: "Of course it's not me! That night, I was shooting overnight for A Chip off the Old Block II with Him Law. After work, I was exhausted and went straight home to sleep. Also, I don't know that person and I never been to the so-called recording studio." Mandy frankly expressed TVB has tried to get an understanding of the issue and there has also been many friends calling to ask if she's ok. Unfortunately she has been too busy with work and was unable to answer the calls. Her friends were extremely worried about her.

25 year old Cilla Kung, revealed yesterday that she has received many phone calls: "I have never participated in a beauty contest, and I won't go out to a recording studio in the middle of the night to chat with someone!" 20 year old model Sarah Chan expressed: "I don't work for TVB. Where if the case is true or not, both sides are responsible. Going to meet the opposite sex at their place at such a late hour, must be very careful."

TVB rising FaDan Mandy Wong played 'Mei Suet' in The Hippocratic Crush following her popular role 'Kwan Yee So' in L'Escargot and has been on the popularity rise since. TVB is heavily promoting her, as she is casted in series after series, next month she'll be starting on new series A Chip off the Old Block II and will 'continue fate' with Him Law. In the series she plays a renovation worker girl, and to gain deeper knowledge in the role, Mandy especially took out some time before filming starts to learn how to remodel homes from her relative, who actually works as a renovation worker in real life. As Mandy does not have any knowledge on renovation, she will have to start from the very beginning and work her way up.

On her first 'lesson', Mandy learned how to walk the wooden ladder. Her relative took the lead and demonstrated for her first. She saw her relative clamping his two legs to the ladder, and walked while sitting on the ladder with ease. During the time, he was even walking with he ladder as he painted the walls, looking very relaxed. Mandy misunderstood and thought it was a piece of cake, and before she knew it, she was injured instantly when it was her turn. Mandy appeared having a very difficult time walking the ladder, and called for help from her relative: "Why can't I move it?" Her relative saw her struggling and went forward to attentively explain to her how it works. He taught her the tricks to holding the ladder with her legs and walking with it.

After all the hard work, Mandy barely took a step while sitting on the ladder. Although she only made little progress, she was still very happy. Then Mandy just took the ladder home with her and will be moving around with the ladder at home every day. She laughed: "It looks easy, but in reality it's so difficult, so I practiced for several days. My thighs are all sore, but that's ok! How will there be any achievements if there are no effort put into it! I'll just treat this as homework, must accomplish it. No matter what difficulty I encounter, I must overcome!"

Him Law, Mandy Wong and The Hippocratic Crush cast headed up the mountain for a charity event yesterday morning. When speaking of the series exceeding TV rating of 32 points, Him laughed and said this is the first time he felt so accomplished. Asked if the rating reaches 40 points, what promises can he make to celebrate? Him laughed: "I've already brought everything of me out. Leave the swim trunks to Kenneth Ma, since he's usually so conservative. (How about take a girlfriend out?) Better if I take my mom out."

Earlier he was spotted buying flowers and diamond ring for rumored girlfriend Tavia Yeung? Him explained he's just buying the flowers for his mother's birthday: "The ring, I was just looking at it, didn't buy it. In the future, I may buy it for myself. Guys can wear rings too, its trendy." It was said Tavia seemed to have admitted she received the ring and complained the diamond's too small. Him laughed: "She's just joking, don't be so serious. (Does this imply you have to give her a bigger one?) We shouldn't be too serious, I just passed by and took a look. Didn't have anything special to buy."

In the series, Mandy fights for Kenneth with Tavia, and didn't hesitate to do some cheating. She expressed a lot of the audience are too into the series and started yelling at her on Weibo. "I was getting bombed on Weibo. Cuts and bruises all over from the scolding. My role isn't too likable, but I later help Tavia pursue Kenneth." Mandy's previous role Kwan Yee So was too disliked by audience, as they scolded her a lot too. She laughed and said next time she hopes to get the good roles: "I am not worried to have a set image. Fortunately, I haven't been scolded on the streets."

Mandy Wong and Oscar Leung's rose to popularity after their performance in TVB series L'Escargot. Recently, the two continue their fate and steps into the film scene. Oscar, Mandy, Chilam Cheung and famous model Mandy Lieu were shooting for new film Natural Born Love Addict (天生愛情狂). When speaking of the interesting events while shooting the film, Oscar exposed that Mandy is evil: "In the film, Mandy chops me with a knife, she's popular now, so she would add more into her actions."

During the shoot, Oscar had on a leather jacket with nothing underneath, therefore his 37-inch chest was shown. Even Mandy couldn't help but give it a little touch, she laughed: "Wah! His chest is bigger than me." Oscar expressed he had 39-inch chest before. Also, Oscar reveals he will soon be heading to Mainland to shoot for grand production series The Great Eunuch, his greatest happiness is being able to work with Michelle Yim and Wayne Lai.

Tavia Yeung, Him Law, Kenneth Ma and Mandy Wong attended TVB series The Hippocratic Crush promotional event yesterday. It was announced at the event that last week the series averaged at 30 points and peaked at 33 points.

When Him mentioned the diving scene that broadcast last night, where he only appeared on-screen with swim trunks, Him felt his body figure was much more fit than now. Him said: "I think it's pretty good. (Did Tavia praise your body figure?) Yes, but she didn't touch." Tavia also greatly praised Him's sexy body figure and exposed that day when they were shooting the swim trunk scene, she couldn't help but: "touch him for behind." Asked if she thinks Him's amazing? She said: "It's good for men to have a built figure!"

However, Him will soon give up his built figure and switch to a slender figure to accommodate for his new series. Him frankly said he loves the built figure because he'll look better in his clothing.

When Tavia learned Him will be losing the muscles for his new series, she said: "Most important is to be healthy! At my age, I won't try to change my body figure for a series because I fear gaining weight just to shoot a series will affect my health. Also, Myolie Wu gained a lot of weight to shoot a series before, she's already a representative, so I don't have to go purposely do it."

As for Kenneth Ma, earlier he exposed his previous relationship with Nancy Wu. Nancy was displeased by the exposure and blamed him for trying to get publicity. Kenneth explained: "She probably said it in a joking way. (Did you ask her prior to exposing?) Yes, because the public said she's greedy for fortunes and has 'princess illness', so I wanted to help her clarify. Also, we are still friends now. (What is the reason to the break up?) I already explained, not going to talk about it anymore! I don't want to Nancy Wu saying I'm trying to get publicity again."

Mandy Wong's one role as 'Kwan Yee So' in TVB series L'Escargot got her popularity skyrocketing. In the series, she drives all her family away from their house in order to fight for the ownership of that house. When she puts up an attitude, she is hated by all. However, the more audience scold at her, the popular Mandy gets. It was understood that Mandy's role has brought her more opportunities as she will be participating in director Patrick Kong's new romantic film Natural Born Love Addict (天生愛情狂) alongside Annie Liu and Chilam Cheung, which begins next Tuesday (2/14). This will be Mandy's debut on the big screen, where she continues to unveil the 'Kwan Yee So' character.

Just how popular is 'Kwan Yee So'? The other day Mandy Wong was shooting at the Wan Chai market street, where she was greatly welcomed by local residents. Many of them wanted to take pictures and get her autograph. Since she rose to popularity after 'Kwan Yee So', she had become a target for the paparazzi. Mandy frankly said she was not used to this: "The role got more people to know me and now more people wants to know about me, so I'm often followed. Of course, I wasn't used to it at first, but I understand there needs to be news. As long as the news aren't too negative, I don't mind." When speaking of 'Kwan Yee So' being a highly acclaimed role, Mandy felt: "Actually, in the beginning this role had some gambling elements to it because before Him Law and I played lovers, but this time I'm his sister-in-law. At first, I was worried audience would have trouble accepting, but thanks to Wai Wai (Oscar Leung) for recommending me to producer Nelson Cheung that there was confidence I could handle this feeling."

From a 'Shy Girl' (from Suspects In Love) to a Bossy Lady (L'Escargot), what type of role does Mandy want to do next? "I want to try something like 'Chiu Man' in Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, the classic fighter girl role. Currently, there aren't many female fighter actresses in the TV industry, I have a dance background, so I believe I can do this."

However, Mandy's next job is to jump into the big screen. According to reliable news, Mandy will be participating in director Patrick Kong's new romantic film Natural Born Love Addict (天生愛情狂) and take on the second female lead role. She will be playing Chilam Cheung's younger sister. In the film, she will continue the barbaric character seen in her 'Kwan Yee So' role. Regarding this, Mandy generously admitted: "This is my first time accepting an independent film, it feels very refreshing and exciting. My role is similar to Kwan Yee So, and I also really anticipate working with Chilam Cheung because he is one of my idols. Aside from him, I also hope to work with Francis Ng and Alex Fong (Chun Sun)." When asked if she's satisfied with what she's paid for being on the big screen? Although she said money isn't too important, it is the opportunity that is most important, but she also expressed: "I hope to save up my first pot of gold, about 7 figures, so I can buy a home for my mother and I to live in together."

Aside from the new film, she is also currently heavily promoted by TVB. She will soon be taking part in producer Poon Ka Tak's new series A Chip off the Old Block II (Tentative): "In fact, Poon Ka Tak is really a judge of talent because he is the first one to discover I have that foolish and shy character in, so he casted me in A Chip off the Old Block (媽不得媽媽) and then again in Suspects In Love."

Ron Ng and Linda Chung have great confidence for their series L'Escargot. Ron expressed the script is one of his top three favorites among all the series he's film in the last ten years.

Ron expressed when he was young, he lived in a 400 square feet home with his family before. He said: "I slept in the living room when I was young, but that time life was great, I always go out to the hallway to play ball and table tennis. Kids nowadays have so many video games to play with, such a luxurious life." When reporters teased they thought his family was rich, Ron became tense and said: "Of course not, did you get the wrong person! (It's Raymond Lam?) All he plays with are model [toys]."

Ron said his mother's greatest wish is when he's able to buy his own house, and does not hope he rents. Ron said: "The best is to live with my mother. When I get home from work, I get to have good soup and a nice dinner. For lunch, I get a nice lunchbox. There was a period of time when my mom had to go help my sister babysit, I felt so meaningless that time, had to rely on my domestic worker and only had noodles. (Get yourself a wife!) I'm not at an marriageable age yet, still have to buy a house and earn more money."

Linda is very happy to hear L'Escargot is getting positive response. She is also very happy that Mandy Wong as "Kwan Yee So" is rising in popularity from this role. "She is an artist with high flexibility, but I am not afraid she will steal my limelight. I just hope the series can touch audiences' hearts. Of course the best is that every character gets popular."

Mandy gets yelled at on the streets
"Kwan Yee So" Mandy's popularity has been on the rise, yesterday she accepted Metro Radio's interview and when asked if she gets yelled at on the streets? She laughed: "Yeah, I have been yelled at before. When I go to a place with lots of people, some would scold me and ask why is my character so dislikeable? However, there are also many of my seniors like Power Chan and Raymond Cho that have praised I did well."

Regarding the Ron and Linda breakup scene in L'Escargot said to have been a complete ripoff of Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung's breakup scene in The Mysteries of Love? Mandy said breakups are often conveyed by crying, so she does not feel its plagiarism.

Niki Chow and Michael Tse were shooting for new series Policewoman's Love Battlefield last night near the dumpsters for a search for evidence scene. Although the crew already cleaned the location, the smell of trash was still left behind.

When speaking of having to dig through the trash during the new year, Niki and Michael both expressed they're treating it as a treasure hunt. Before they started shooting, Niki took the rubber glove that was used to pick trash and threw it at Michael, frightening him so much went to hide. It was a very funny moment. Michael just came back from doing stage work in Singapore, and looked quite tired. He said: "With this type of work schedule, it's hard to get fat. However, Niki looks like she gotten rounder!" As for Niki, she immediately expressed that it's impossible!

However, later the ball slipped off his hand and fell on the floor.

As for Mandy's first collaboration with Matthew, she praised that he's a healthy athletic, she said: "In the series, I'm actually in decathlon, but in reality I'm totally the opposite. So, I have to use a stunts double, but Matthew knows all of it. He took on the scenes himself, pretty miserable!"

Lunar New Year film I Love Hong Kong 2012 has become the box office leader among the Chinese films over the Lunar New Year week. Yesterday Evergreen Mak, Mandy Wong and several other cast members especially went to the theater to thank audience for their support and gave out red envelopes. As for Evergreen, who took the lead in the event, said with a smile that the other stars are too busy and he is the one that's not so busy. However, there will be another promotional event later and earlier Eric Tsang already made a special trip back to HK to celebrate.

If they can't go to Japan, he wants to go to Korea.

L'Escargot's "Kwan Yee So" Mandy Wong had been greatly praised by audience that she is a very pretty girl in person and told her to add oil. She was so happy and couldn't believe her nasty role would be so popular. She personally did not mind being scolded, in fact, the more she gets scold, the happier she is.

Oscar Leung and Mandy Wong play a married couple in the currently airing TVB series L'Escargot. Oscar is a husband that suffers from mood disorders, while Mandy plays the bossy pregnant wife. Each had their own outstanding performances. Oscar laughed and said Mandy was so hard to deal with in the series. Friends have said giving her a huge smack on the face is the most satisfying, but unfortunately there were too few of those scenes, it is best that she gets smacked more. Of course, in reality it is not good to hit women. As for in reality, is his other half the same type? Oscar said: "Of course not, just she has too many rules, like when I get home I have to take off my shoes. And if I wear jeans to go out, I can't sit on the couch without changing. She's not considered crazy for cleanliness, but she just likes to be neat." Oscar reveals he's been dating his girlfriend for 9 years, and she is currently Cherrie Ying's assistant.

Yesterday morning, Mandy Wong still appeared in Sai Kung to shoot for new series Policewoman's Battlefield despite the 14 degrees C (57.2 F) temperature. In a short haircut, Mandy reveals she plays a rough female police officer and because she's often scolding her colleagues, she was named 'Madam Kill'.

To shoot a scene where the other female cops imagine that she's Rambo, she picks up a pair of pistols and does a challenging stunt where she open fires in the air. She said: "I especially asked a male trainer to help me with my physical fitness. Also, the role is very tomboy, so when I'm shooting love scenes, I can't turn myself back into a girl!"

The other night, Kenneth ma and Mandy Wong were shooting a kiss scene in Sheung Wan for TVB new series 36 Hours On Call. Mandy's first on-screen kiss was already given to Him Law, and she also has a kiss scene with Benjamin Yuen. She is considered 'experienced'. This time she is blessed to have the opportunity to kiss Kenneth as well. He laughed: "Before in The Mysteries of Love I kissed 4-5 girls, and they said I already reached my quota all in one go. I haven't done a kiss scene in a long time, so I'm feeling a bit nervous because this is my first time collaborating with Mandy. Luckily we are shooting this scene towards the end, so already had the time to get familiar with each other.'

However, Kenneth said Mandy is 'experienced' with kiss scenes, so it wasn't necessary for them to shoot at an angle because of awkwardness. However, when it comes to experience, she does not compare to Kenneth! Mandy analyzed who was best to kiss: "Him Law was rather wet, Benjamin Yuen had feeling, and Kenneth was a little dry! He's a very dry person actually, but I have no embarrassment shooting with him because he's very nice." Kenneth joked: "I think she's good to kiss, so I can have that taste again. There are some who really aren't good to kiss, but I'm not giving names!"
