Pre-TVB Anniversary 2011: Nominees' Thoughts Part 1

The annual TVB anniversary awards ceremony is coming soon and all nominees must be nervous: would they be the lucky winners this year? This week we will feature the thoughts of some nominees and let them predict who is the winner.

Tavia Yeung and Ruco Chan

This year Ruco Chan and Tavia Yeung are both nominated for TVB's 'My Favorite TV Character Award' for their roles in The Other Truth. Although Ruco has confidence in himself, but he won't be pressured. This was the first series Ruco played the lead role, he thanked Producer Amy Wong and TVB Executive Catherine Tsang for giving him the opportunity. Ruco had always been seen as Catherine's favorite, asked if he hopes Catherine will vote for him? He said: "Of course, but Catherine had always been unbiased. Even if she does vote, it won't be because of me, but will vote based on a balance of qualities from all artists."

When asked who his greatest opponent is? Ruco frankly said: "I have confidence in myself! If I had to choose, I would say Bosco Wong. In fact I believe he definitely has the power to take Best Actor, but if he can't get that award, I still hope he gets the My Favorite TV Male Character award."

As for Tavia Yeung, she expressed she never gives herself pressure. Also she participated in the awards ceremony several years now, whoever wins the awards, she will be happy for them. She said: "Especially this year, many of the candidates are my peers, from the same generation. It feels like a group of students waiting to get their report cards. I actually feel more relaxed." When speaking of her greatest opponent, Tavia laughed and said she was part of the cast of Yes Sir, Sorry Sir, so she supports Miss Koo Linda Chung. She said: "Well I really have to go back to school and talk to the principle there, but even if it sounds selfish, I still have to give myself a vote. If I win, then I'll have an explanation for myself." She also expressed if she gets the award, she will definitely cry and let everything out because that is her true nature.

Moses Chan

Moses Chan, who cheated the relationship with Miss Koo in Yes Sir Sorry Sir is also part of the nominations for My Favorite TV Male Character. He frankly said this year he doesn't have too much confidence because his role isn't worth flattering. Asked if its because his role cheated on a relationship? He said: "Actually I don't care about this. As an artist, we are used to fluctuate audiences' emotions. I don't have confidence in myself, but instead I support Linda Chung. She really was outstanding in the crying scenes. Let's see if she's lucky or not!"

Moses Chan Gives Up New Drama For Coffee

Moses Chan is a coffee lover for sure!

The actor was supposed to film a new 30-episodes drama with Bobby Au-Yeung and Linda Chung and filming will start next month. However, he suddenly asked for a break with personal reasons. In fact, he is going to Malaysia for his first coffee shop and will stay there for about a month.

Producer of the drama Cheung Kong Man is very dissatisfied. He disclosed he already scheduled Moses to be in the drama last November but was notified in March that he couldn't do it. It's upsetting that he asked for a vacation just before filming.

"I won't comment on it. The company didn't say much, what could I say? It's not like it has to be Moses."

Moses himself admitted that he will not be filming the new drama. But he denied declining; it's just a schedule conflict.

"I never decline to be in a drama," he said. "I hope they can understand. It's regretful that I can't be in this drama. Acting is my career. Opening a coffee shop is just my small dream."

It's known the drama has been edited several times already. Originally it was designed for Sheren Tang, but the "No Regrets" star rejected it and went to Mainland for another drama. Then the screenwriters have to changed the story, making it more relate to music. Bobby Au-Yeung and Myolie Wu remain in the original cast and Linda Chung is added.

Now Moses is not in the cast anymore, the crew is troubled for finding a replacement. Pierre Ngo is their top choice, however, they are afraid he is not suitable yet as a lead. Not only finding a right replacement is hard, clothes that actors wear in the drama are finished and now they have to make changes again.

Everyone knows Moses loves coffee. In 2008, he even got to know more about it by doing a coffee show. He released a book about coffee a year later. Now he finally got to open his first coffee shop, of course he is very nervous and wants everything to be as best as possible; even if it's to give up an opportunity to star in a good drama.

Moses Chan Let it Go Already

Moses Chan attended to an event yesterday. Asked whether he knows Ivana Wong replaced Bernice Liu as the new spokesperson of certain product, Moses was being very gentleman: "I didn't pay attention. I'm only doing my own things in low-profile. Actually they changed every once in a while, maybe it just happened to be in this sensitive period." It's said the company doesn't like Bernice' bad image that's why they switched to Ivana. Moses expressed: "The incident passed already. Hope everyone can give her some space, and look at her work and the good side of her."

Asked whether he let it go already, Moses said: "I already let it go this new year. Amitabha." It's said Bernice went low-profile on her relationship with new beau in order to gain back her image, he said: "I don't gossip other people's things. (Worry Bernice might be like Isabella Leong, broken Cinderella dream?) I don't know what to say."

Fala Chen Personal Email Gets Stolen, Used to Open Fake Facebook Account

Moses Chan and Fala Chen modeled for the fashion brands V.E. DELURE and TESTANTIN's latest Fall and Winter collection. Speaking of someone using Weibo to release negative news about Dicky Cheung, checking Weibo almost everyday, Fala said: "Terrifying! Hope Weibo adds more security and protection. Normally when I post something, I would go online to check it one more time. My often change my password too, hoping that these things won't happen again. One time someone used my personal email to sign up for a Facebook account, then I constantly received unknown emails, I discovered the issue when I felt something was wrong, so I really understand how Dicky feels."

Moses said that he doesn't have Weibo or Facebook accounts, normally he'll just upload coffee related photos on Twitter because he has always been skeptical about the data circulated online. He said: "There are too many messages on the internet, it's better for someone to say it in person because comments on the internet can spread through the world, have to be extra careful. I have always been rational, if not said in person or if there is no evidence, I will not believe it. But the majority of HK people are about gossips, will only believe half." Moses has also received a phone call from an unknown person, but he had good ideas to make the person stop. He said: "If the person really knows me, then there are two questions I can ask to ensure that they know me or I will tell the person to take out a group photo to prove it! The audience now are very smart, they don't easily trust rumors."
