Earlier it was said Jessica Hsuan was difficult to please while shooting a series in Mainland. Her old partner Sunny Chan accepted an interview by the Singaporean media yesterday and said: "Should have known earlier!" He exposed when he was shooting with Jessica in Curse of the Royal Harem, that day he, Jessica and Myolie Wu got to the set very early, but the director didn't shoot their scenes (Jessica and Myolie). Until 11pm, Jessica said to the director: "I got here early in the afternoon, I fixed my makeup 3 times and waited 5 hours. If we aren't shooting, then I'm leaving!" Sunny later added that Jessica was just being self-persistent.

Regarding Sunny Chan's 4 year old son (Edgar Chan) being autistic, he directly admitted without concealing anything. Yesterday over a phone interview, Sunny expressed his son "isn't responding to him", but once he has time he will communicate more with his son in hope for a change. Sunny said: "I don't have work lately, so I would insist to take an hour off to be with my son. When it's cold, we go on hikes and when it's hot, we go swimming. This way, Father-Son can communicate more, but I don't want my son to be disturbed by people. Earlier a magazine tried to photograph my son and I wasn't in HK. In fact, I don't want to frighten my family. If the media wants a photo of my son, I can send you all one. It's not good to frighten children!"

TVB Anniversary Series Curse of the Royal Harem (CRH) is currently in its heated broadcast. Lead actor and actress Sunny Chan and Myolie Wu have a chance to get the TV King and Queen award depending on this series. It was said Myolie is sure to get it, but unfortunately recently there were complaints from viewers of the heavy makeup on the females in the series. This more or less cause an impact on Myolie's votes. However, yesterday TVB made special arrangements for the cast of CRH to be dressed in their ancient costumes and attend a Community Chest charity event, where they were able to raise HK$450,000 of donations.

Regarding the complaints, Myolie's confidence has not been affected. She said: "This provides that there are people watching the series. Some people think the makeup is too heavy, while some also feel it's really beautiful. I am just treating it as promotion." When speaking of rumored boyfriend Bosco Wong supporting her to become TV Queen? She laughed: "This year, there are many more channels to vote, I'm telling my family to help. (Does she hope to win TV Queen or My Favorite TV Character more?) Whatever it is, I'll be just as happy!" A magazine recently exposed that Bosco secretly went for hot pot with a long-haired female friend, has she been neglected? Myolie said: "I didn't see the report, not sure." Then Myolie quickly changed the subject and talked about CRH's ratings. Sunny felt happy to be nominated for TV King, he said: "I hope to breakthrough the fate and be on the Top 5. (You'll be happy enough being on Top 5?) Yes, it's already amazing to be on Top 5, since the opponents are tough."

Sunny Chan and Roger Kwok are arguing every day in TVB new series Wax and Wane. Sunny is often pulling his throat when he's showing anger, it's rough and too over. He was named 'The Second Alex Man' by Netizens. Yesterday Roger, Sunny and Ron Ng attended the series promotional event. Roger directly said he felt Sunny was 'very noisy': "He has always been like that! It's not now that he's rough and noisy, since I was shooting Threshold of an Era with him, I gave him 10 years. I told him before don't talk so much, don't be so noisy. (Did he listen?) If he did, there won't be a situation like this today. (His scenes are going to be cut?) Perhaps there are going to be some changes, in fact the series is already getting into the climax, this series needs time to heat up."

Suny stressed that he's just doing what the script requires him to and got agreement by the director. Watching again, does he feel there is a problem in his performance? He said: "I rarely watch playbacks of my own scenes, the director says it's fine, then that works. (Said your the Second Alex Man?) I really don't know, I don't dare to say! (Roger said your noisy too!) Haha...perhaps that's just my nature and character. Roger never told me."

Roger's wife Cindy Au is expected to due in October. Asked if he would compete with Raymond Cho for ligation surgery endorsements? Roger said: "I won't have kids, won't have to do the surgery. I can do condom endorsements." As recently there has been an outbreak of the scarlet fever, Roger said he will pay more attention to his son's health.

As for Ron, rumored girlfriend Kate Tsui did not attend because she was ill. Asked if Kate fell ill because of his relationship with Viann Zhang? Ron said, that won't happen because they are just colleagues.

Sunny Chan, Roger Kwok and Ron Ng's Wax and Wane is currently broadcasting, and the TV ratings have not been ideal. The first week's broadcast only averaged at 25 points. This week, the ratings gradually rises. It was understood that TVB initially wanted to tailor this series into another Heart of Greed, so they arranged a family feud among the two families in the series.

Unexpectedly, not only did this not help the ratings, it also made audience fed up with the series. Due to this fact, TVB received many complaints. Among them was Sunny's performance in arguing scenes. His acting was "too rough" and "too over". A Netizen even crowned him as the 'second Alex Man'. It was said to help reduce the 'fire' (anger) among Netizens, TVB already had a meeting to discuss a rescue plan. After negotiation, TVB decides to cut out Sunny's scenes.

Regarding to the rumor, reporters asked Producer Nelson Cheung to confirm. He admitted that he has paid attention to the Netizen's comments and said he's responsible for the poor ratings: "This time, the story is deliberately covering the truth, so at first everyone may not understand why the two families are that fierce or maybe audience don't like how the story is told." As for Sunny Chan's fierce performance becoming the 'second Alex Man', Nelson supported him: "Sunny is a very good actor, although this time he is a little over, but I didn't go prevent that and that is my responsibility." He also denied cutting out Sunny's scenes: "Just complying with audience comments and do suitable cutting. We will alter the scenes that are too rough."

As for the 'second Alex Man' title, Sunny does not mind: "Why would I be unhappy? Alex Man is a very good actor, how can I say it's not good? An artist is very passive, just following the script. It is hard to make everyone like it." He also said he does not mind the Producer cutting some of his scenes out: "Should look at audience preference and make suitable adjustments."

Last night, Sunny Chan, his wife (Ada To) and their 3 and a half year old son went to enjoy Walking With Dinosaurs. When Sunny's son saw the dinosaurs, he was so frightened he didn't dare to take photos. Sunny said: "I deliberately took him out to attend events, so he can get more energetic. When he's at home, he doesn't really talk, just listens to his teacher, eat and sing. We have to encourage him in order from him to do it."

Sunny expressed his son has dysphasia, he didn't know how to speak even at age 1 and half. He has been attending language therapy classes, and has have improvements. Reporters teased that Sunny loves to talk, so the heavens gave a beloved son to him that does not really like to talk. Sunny said: "It's possible that I've talked too much." He really likes children, so he really envies Roger Kwok becoming a father again. Sunny also plans to go for another baby withing 1 or 2 years time. The best would be a daughter.
