TVB popular series
Inbound Troubles has entered its final week
and still going strong. Yesterday at the outdoor promotional event on
the busy street of Tsim Sha Tsui, producer Wong Wai Sing announced they
are preparing for a sequel and film edition. Cho Lam revealed there are
already companies inviting "Oh Baby" out to perform, but because of the
copyright issues, it is unknown whether they can actually launch their
own album. The cast including Roger Kwok, Wong Cho Lam, Joey Meng, Ivana
Wong, Louis Cheung, Siu Bo, Corinna Chamberlain and Wong Kong Leung
took part in the promotion yesterday and created chaos on the street.
When
the cast appeared, a young woman screamed hysterically and caught
attention for a brief moment. Then the cast stood in a line, hand in
hand, and bowed to the audience thanking them for their support. Later,
they gave out New Year's tangerines and attracted more than a hundred
people fighting to get the gift. At one point, someone in the crowd
threw the tangerine back and unfortunately, Joey got the 'head prize'
(direct hit) and eventually there was a huge chaos on the street.
The
pitiful Joey expressed after getting hit on the head, "I was a little
dizzy, it was a hard hit. His throw was so hard, even the juice came
out. Luckily, I've learned Kung Fu before, so I'm fine. Just think of it
as getting the top 'head' prize." She also pointed out that Louis
Cheung, standing next to her, didn't have the strength to protect her:
"He didn't have fast enough reaction to catch the tangerine. When we
collaborate again in the sequel, I must torment him." Joey expressed if
the TV rating reaches 40 points, Roger Kwok will give out red envelopes
to the citizens; If it reaches 42 points, she will show off her 42-inch
long legs to the citizens, but if its 43 points, Sharon Chan will need
to lend a helping 'leg'.
After the cast walked around the street
and had their meal at the restaurant, producer Wong Wai Sing suddenly
got a phone call from a TVB executive and then immediately announced
that has been confirmed,
Inbound Troubles will be shooting both a
sequel and a film edition of the series. It was a pleasant surprise for
everyone and they were all very excited to shoot a sequel.

Cho Lam expressed: "I'm happy because this proves TVB supports us, but
then again I'm worried about having to come up with another 20 episode
story. I'll have to talk to the scriptwriter. I don't feel as pressured
for the film because it's only a few hours. (You're writing the script
again, are you afraid the scriptwriter might get upset?) No, we had a
pleasant collaboration."
When asked if TVB would limit him on
incorporating HK-China contradicting issues into the sequel due to the
large number of complaints? Cho Lam said: "TVB did make a suggestion, if
the topic is too sensitive, don't do it. In addition, we already
filtered once before and this time since it's approved, that means it
can continue." Corinna Chamberlain gained recognition from this series
and was very thankful of Wong Cho Lam. She said: "He didn't just cast me
in the TV series, but also gave me a favorable role, so more people
will know who I am." Because she likes singing, Cho Lam also wrote her a
song,
Dissimilar, which had just released and been quite a hit.
Ivana
Wong said this series allows us to see a new light. She is very happy
to hear that there will be a sequel and joked she wants a pay raise: "I
didn't say I'm going to accept it. I have to take advantage of this
opportunity and boost my pay, so I can have a prosperous and 'fat' year.
(Will you be able to participate in the sequel and do music?) I hope
I'll be able to accommodate them, after all I am just a singer."
