Bloody murderous TV series
Master of Play has been named "TVB's
Most Flavorful Production in History". Although last week, the series
lost the housewives audience, resulting in a 3 point rating drop down to
24 points, still there are Netizens supporting the series. Aside from
the two attractive main leads Adam Cheng and Moses Chan, senior police
inspector played by Matt Yeung and Iva Law, appearing in only two
episodes as the sexy undercover, both caught Netizens attention as well.
Matt Yeung and Iva Law play a couple in the series; both have
been in the industry for over 10 years. When Matt first debuted, he was
fortunate that TVB heavily promoted him, but unfortunately back then he
didn't cherish the opportunity and even became the first TVB artist in
history that had to repeat the Artistes Training Class. The most
miserable was when he had no income for six months and practically lived
on seeds.
Retakes the TVB Artistes Training Class 31 year old Matt Yeung entered the industry 14 years ago, but all along, he only had minor roles. Last year in TVB sitcom
Be Home For Dinner, Matt's role as Tin Hoi got him on the rise again, and he finally gets recognition in his latest series
Master of Play
(MOP). In fact, Matt graduated from the 1998 TVB Artiste Training
Class, the same year as Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung. Soon after, Matt
rose to popularity when he portrayed a role intimating Nicholas Tse in
Screen Play
and was heavily promoted by TVB. Unfortunately, back then he didn't
know how to cherish, always went for late night partying at the
nightclubs and got in trouble with the law. TVB had to set him aside
before he could wake up and start behaving.
In 2005, his career
was almost game over when he was arrested for driving under the
influence (DUI) and criminal damage. This time, he had the rare
opportunity to portray the serious senior police inspector in MOP and
make a breakthrough. Matt said: "Initially when Ah Chik (producer
Jonathan Chik) came to me, I was afraid I couldn't do it, and there was
no script, each day it was all last minute scripts, so I was really
nervous. Before, I didn't know how to cherish my opportunities, I liked
to play and cause trouble. Five years ago, I even became the first TVB
artist in history to repeat the Artistes Training Class. In between, I
actually wanted to give up as I had absolutely no jobs during that
period. I was hopeless for 6 months."
If Matt didn't want to go
homeless, then he really had to find something to do, but unfortunately
he failed. Matt continued: "That time I tried to save up and start a
business, a clothing store. Once I had time, I would go stock up on
merchandise and do everything myself, but the store only lasted for a
short period. I couldn't handle the business, so I had to close it down.
I then tried selling mitten crabs in Jordan, but that only lasted for a
season (3 months). At the time, I didn't know what to do anymore, one
day I looked at myself in the mirror, and couldn't help but say to
myself, 'You hell boy, misbehaved and wasted all your opportunties.' All
along it was due to Catherine Tsang giving me all the opportunities
that I was able to continue acting!"
Today, Matt knows better
and is well-behaved. Last year, he announced on Weibo that he plans to
marry his girlfriend (Joanna) at the end of the year. The couple have
been dating for over two years.
Iva Law - Sexy Undercover Marries German BoyfriendIva Law entered TVB 12 years ago, and had only been playing naughty young girls or prosititutes. This time in
Master of Play,
she plays an undercover cop. Although she only appears in two episodes,
she still grabbed attention by her sexy short skirt and long legs. She
'poisoned' all the guys, as they watched the scene before her death over
and over again. It turns out this sexy undercover already married her
German I.T boyfriend last year. Iva said: "Although I have thought of
giving up, but it is not because of what roles I get, rather it is safer
to be an all-round artist. So, in 2006 I studied makeup in Japan to
increase my value and came back realizing that I really do like acting.
Luckily TVB let me come back. (Does your husband mind that you get so
sexy on-screen?) Haha...I just do it first every time, then I tell him
afterwards. If I tell him beforehand, he definitely won't allow it! My
husband owns an I.T company, not considered wealthy, but I don't have to
worry about the finances. Acting is realy just my hobby!" In 2003, Iva
sparked love after collaborating with Lawrence Ng, 15 years her senior,
but unfortantely the relationship only lasted for about a year before
ending in a break up.
