Wayne Lai Denies Using Feng Shui to Suppress Raymond Lam
The public may still be in disbelief that Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) received more fan votes than Raymond Lam (林峰) to win this year’s TV King title. Tabloids speculated that Wayne resorted to underhand feng shui tactics to suppress Raymond, who was initially regarded to have a sure win at the 45th TVB Anniversary Awards.
To celebrate his third Best Actor victory, Wayne Lai organized an 11-table banquet to treat The Confidant <大太監> cast and crew. In attendance were producer Lee Tim Shing (李添勝), Nancy Wu (胡定欣), Power Chan (陳國邦) and Oscar Leung (梁烈唯). Asked whether he had used a feng shui array to suppress his greatest rival, Raymond Lam, Wayne expressed his disbelief at the exaggerated claims.
“The best joke is that they said I suppressed the mountain peaks [to fight against Raymond Lam]! If Kenneth Ma (馬國明) rises, then I will have to suppress Ma On Shan! Moses Chan (陳豪) would be an even bigger deal, as Lau Fau Shan has many peaks! Then I would have to arrange a non-stop barrage of feng shui arrays! Why would I do such things?”
Wayne ridiculed the tabloid speculations and said that he only consults feng shui once a year over his family’s health concerns.

Jayne: Thumbs up to Wayne for his entertaining answer! His line basically silenced any speculations over his black magic while making you laugh.
Haha, Wayne always has some funny and smart responses.
Well, this proves once and for all Wayne can move mountains perhaps?
Stop with this Raymond is king BS. He cannot act and it doesn’t take much for Wayne to beat him.
@RaySimpson: I totally agree with you on that. Wayne can beat Raymond anytime on acting. Raymond’s acting isn’t qualified as TV King. Moses or Kenneth are even better than Ray.
Using Feng Shui to Suppress Raymond Lam. WOW, can’t believe that people will believe this. Ridiculous
If you believe in Fung Shui, I think it could. But I don’t think Wayne had done it.
It’s a popularity contest this year; that doesn’t *necessarily* require fine talent.
And TVB awards has no credibility anyway so who cares if LF or Wayne wins. Some LF fans are understandably upset, but some are just annoyed at TVB for their lack of transparency.
Lam Fung is okay compared to average actors in Hong Kong but his acting level is still very weak when compared to Way Lai.
Come on . Wayne Lai doesnt need feng shui to beat Raymond . His acting is enough to beat him .
I don’t think TVB should award TV King again to Wayne in 2013. In that case, TVB does not have any good actor besides Wayne Lai. It is not something glorious for TVB.
Who do you suggest it should have gone to then?
Damian Lau. He surely deserved the Best Actor award in 2012 with his excellent performance.
I knew you would say that and I agree that Damian is better than Wayne. But Damian doesn’t even want the award (he doesn’t need it either). Who would you say was most deserving after Damian? Just wondering.
As to your point about TVB not having any good actors beside Wayne left, that’s not completely true. TVB still has ‘good’ actors like Michael Miu, Michael Tse, Kenneth, Bosco, Raymond Wong, etc. There’s still Damian as well. There are also a handful of supporting actors (Power Chan, Raymond Cho, Pierre Ngo, etc.) who have potential to become lead actors. It’s just that TVB keeps them in the support area. Speaking of MY, Jason shouldn’t have gotten the lead role. If only Steven was still with TVB. I really hope he comes back. :\
Magic,
I actually think aside from wayne, only moses, michael miu and michael miu are up there with him.
Kenneth, bosco, raymond lam are second tier.
Lastly all other supporting and improving I.e Him, vincent, oscar etc etc.
Raymond wong is somewhere in between 1st and 2nd
Tse*
I guess that list is pretty accurate.
Agree with the list except I think that some of the supporting characters are even better than the second tier… They just don’t get a main character role
The ability to act is subjective, some finds Wayne better others find Raymond better. I think they each excel in different roles and should be respected in that sense.
Maybe Raymond does have a lot more fans than Wayne. But have people considered that Raymond might also have more anti-fans too? Unfortunately, that does come with fame…
Good point. The more fans,the more haters. People need to stop making such a big deal out of this and get over it. Stop ruining Wayne Lai’s victory/ happiness by the complaints, as if he didn’t deserve the award. Consider his feelings for once. Love both Wayne and Raymond, but this just needs to stop.
Anyway people who vote might not be the same people who are willing to pay for concerts & movie tickets… so, it’s ok for LF.
Plus Wayne really is very popular with the older people. Heard there are lots of older folks in HKG, & if they all vote, Wayne win of course!!!!
Stop this already. Ray is going off to higher ground when his contract ends this year maybe to Huayi, EEG or Pegasus and only focus on movies. This crap TVB award is no matter to him anymore.
can’t wait for 2013 anniversary awards when wayne and ma ming will go head to head. ma ming has on call 2 to fight and triumph but won’t count triumph because there are francis and chilam there. wayne has rosy 3. hope wayne won’t win again. blessing in disguise for raymond to leave tvb since tvb can use the resources used for raymond to promote more deserving candidates such as ma ming, ruco and edwin.
Don’t forget Moses who’s in Beauty at War with Sheren and Ada.
triumph2 and wab2 evidently will be promoted heavily by tvb and might be anniversary series while on call2 is most anticipated sequel for this year. agree. ma ming might have to fight with moses since wab2 is an important production too.
evidently the important productions for next year are
first line grands which might be anniversary series – triumph2, wab2
second line grands – on call2, rosy3
the year of sequels but this can bring ma ming and myo to another breakthroughs 🙂
TVB awards are a joke. It’s not like a real awards show that recognizes the achievements regardless of which network they’re on.
Yeah. Good luck to all artistes still stuck in TVB especially when CTI officially opens. When Ray signed with new company and leave TVB, I will leave too.
Chilam and Francis will not stand a chance because TVB only give the awards to contracted artists right?
I think so, too.
Sheren Tang 2009 and 2010 TVB Queen and she not TVB contracted artists.
Is TVB stick to public voting award again this year? If again Kenneth won’t get it for sure, HK people still prefer Wayne
After Sheren’s unfair treatment in “War & Beauty”, TVB was under great pressure from the public to award TV Queen to Sheren Tang in 2009 and 2010 even though she was not on management contract with TVB. She was awarded TV Queen twice because of her outstanding performance.
Don’t know if Francis Ng and Chilam Cheung will get the same kind of public support in TITS 2.
so this year will be great
1) Rosy Business 3 – Wayne
2) Triumph in the Skies II -Francis & Julian
3) War and Beauty 2 – Moses
Raymond and Kenneth an uphill task to become 2013 TVB King
Wayne Lai will have more than 1 drama series in 2013:
1) Rosy Business 3
2) Love Firm – with Moses Chan, Fala Chen, Christine Ng
3) The Confidant – sequel
How about Detective Columbo ?
If TVB depend solely on Wayne, TVB gonna have problem especially IF cti hk tv gets TV license
Right. I forgot about “Detective Columbo”. I think people will be sick of watching Wayne Lai in four drama series in 2013. Oh my god, we will see Wayne Lai in every other month! We really have to see how Wayne acts in four different characters in four different drama series!!
Well, it’s most likely that only 2 of Wayne’s series will air this year though. Detective Columbo is finished and ready to air and Love Firm will be done in Feb. The Confidant sequel isn’t even set yet, and RB3 won’t be finished filming until July so there’s a chance that it won’t even air until next year.
I think “Rosy Business 3” and “The Confidant – Sequel” will be Wayne’s powerful drama series, not the other two.
Such silly and baseless accusations don’t warrant any reply. Like Kevin Wayne should just ignore them and let people think for themselves whether what the accusers say is or could be true. i think some people just want to be provocative to see what reaction they can generate.
HK tabloids & RL’s fans are becoming the biggest ridiculous joke in the world!
Is the tabloids writing, why should you insulted Raymond fans as the biggest jokes ?
Please don’t start the war of words again as you always good at
lolz. i don’t remember any bit of u but u must be a big fan of RL. very well. the ridiculous part of RL’s fans definitely referring to those who filed the complaints & i hope u’re not one of them then.
My favorite – Wayne and Sheren.
Won’t waste time arguing with you
Those defending Raymond may not always be a fan of his
HK tabloids might be a joke but LF’s fans are most certainly not. Please don’t be dissing us.
Lynn:
Judging by your sarcastic reply to @cloud9, I think u really did mean to insult LF fans. Then don’t be outraged if I also call TY fans who believe her nose is beautiful & natural, to be the most ridiculous joke in the world! If u don’t respect other ppl, then ppl don’t need to respect u.
Btw, did u used to go by the name “buti4”?
Josie, while her nose might not be natural, my mother definitely thinks that her nose makes her look more mature (in a good way). 😀
So double standard, LyNN. Look at how you jump when your goddess is touched and how you are saying. LMAO, you are the type of posters that are making my interest to discuss around decrease and sadly, too many.
Jing,
Glad we’re on the same page.
im also not his fan, but i support him all the way…
Whatever role that Wayne can act out is beyond Raymond’s capability…as simple as that!!!
We will find out in 2013. Wayne will act 4 different characters in four different drama series.
Is not healthy for TVB.
CTI-HKTV hope TVB parade all the 4 series within a year, it going backfire for TVB
Well, TVB does not have another good actor like Wayne Lai. What else can TVB do?! It seems that Wayne Lai will fight against 3 other Wayne Lais in 2013 Anniversary Awards Competition!
He can’t TVB King allows one nomination unless My Favorite Actor more than one nomination is OK, like what happen to Tavia
Which four series?
1) Detective Columbo
2) Love Firm
3) Rosy Business 3
4) The Confidant – sequel
The sequel/spin off of TC hasn’t even been confirmed yet, has it?
And I doubt Rosy Business 3 would air next year, TVB has Beauty at War and Triumph in the Skies 2 in plan. Plus, there are some pretty anticipated series like THC2, AGWTC2, Big Wheel, etc. But you never know, LOO aired soon after it had just finished filming.
Just noticed how many sequels there are this year. zz
Sequels ……. too many. Any drama series with viewership ratings of 30 and above, TVB will make sequels. They run out of new ideas and new storyline! Not interested in watching sequels myself!
I don’t think tvb will air all four dramas in one year. Don’t forget that Wayne will be filming in china soon, so tvb might save some of his dramas to be aired in 2014. The confidant has not been officially confirmed, so Wayne only has 3 dramas that could possibly be aired this year.
The only sequel worth watching next year is TITS 2, as I and many other people waited 10 LONG years for it to happen. I have a feeling it will flop, but at the same time I can’t wait for it.
Get over it, Raymond’s fans! Move on!
We did. It’s the tabloids that want to keep selling stories.
Yep. I am still in disbelief that Wayne won and Raymond lost.
bwahahahaha :DDDD
LOLing, thigh-slapping article so early into 2013!
I don’t understand why there’s so much butthurt over Wayne winning the crown over Raymond….I love Ray, but Happy Sir wasn’t meant to win TV King.
Subjective-objectively, Wayne’s character was more compelling despite being a bit tame for my tastes, but most importantly, he delivered the role much better than Raymond, making the character more believable (to me).
But considering the whole netizens vote aspect…perhaps netizens were over-confidant of Raymond’s chances and weren’t as vigilant with the voting? idk
What about Michael Tse??? His acting in FF is s cute too.
FF aired after the awards ceremony…
I’ve got a feeling Wayne’s Feng Shui master is making big money now…lol..
I do not think any good hearted ppl would.do this kind of stuff. Pls do not damage a person’s integrity with baseless claim, oh tabloids! Wayne obviously deserve such recognition for his exceptional performance, otherwise he wld not have garnered a large support of votes. Do u mean that Tavia Yeung also resort to the help of FS master, obviously a very funny, unprofessional and disgrace remarks if the tabloid or whoever started it. However, i am sure people who love the two artistes are smart not to believe everything reported. Fans too are educated. Raymond is definitely young, smart, handsome & will shine. Raymond, you only need to persevere, keep your passion going, u will definitely win Big one day.
As for Wayne, u have always been keeping your cool, calm & charm. People love u not just for your talent but your awesome attitude & great personality. Keep your passion going.
All the Best for the two great actors.<3
Why are we still on this topic, geez. Thanks to the overhyped Raymond thingy by media, everyone felt that it should be Raymond. For god’s sake, judging from his acting skill, any of the other candidates could’ve beaten him, not just Wayne! And since it’s by voting, then it’s even more fair that People’s Choice is Wayne, not Raymond. Simple as that! Why is Raymond or whoever the supporter who wrote this article can’t deal with the fact that Wayne’s just a lot more popular?
The one who cant deal with the facts are:
1. Reporters.
2. Ppl who cant accept that LF fans can reunite.
3. Ppp who cant accept that LF will go and keep telling that one day he will win blah blah.
Now his fans mostly moved to new thing: he shouldn’t sign the management contract anymore.
Good luck to Wayne in Txb. He can have the whole world there without LF.
To inform only.
feel bad for wayne. the media are promoting raymond for his concert this month and made wayne the scapegoat to get bashed.
Oh, the creative media types…. I never fail to be amazed at their creativity
Raymond’s fans, please vote @ http://jsg.tvb.com/2012/final/vote/
Vote for JSG for Raymond…no need HK ID…thx
