Wayne Lai Considers Japan’s AV Industry!
The cast of TVB’s Bullet Brain <神探高倫布> attended a promotional event yesterday to boost up the lackluster ratings that the drama has been suffering since its Hong Kong premiere last week. The quirky 1960s period drama stars Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) as Detective Columbo, a peasant boy who turns into a genius after getting shot in the head.
The drama has since pulled in mediocre average ratings of 26 points per episode, and peaked at only 29 points. The serial also drew in complaints from the audience, which included complaints on its irrational plot, historically-insensitive content, and unoriginal storytelling.
“[The ratings are] so far so good,” said Wayne. “The drama was filmed in a different way, so it may be hard for the audience to understand, but as actors, we should all attempt to try new things. I support this new filming style. If the plot is easy to follow, people will say it is cheesy. If it gets slightly more complicated, people will say they don’t understand it. It’s hard to please everyone.”
Despite the less-than-stellar reception, Bullet Brain is not completely out of touch with its audience. The fantasy drama has given light to a few heated discussions online, and one highlight was the scene that showed Wayne’s “horny” reaction to Sire Ma’s (馬賽) cockroach situation in episode 3.
In the scene, a smirking Wayne sticks his hand under Sire’s dress in order to pick out a cockroach that crawled up her leg. Viewers expressed that the suggestive scene could have come out of an AV (adult video) movie.
On his thoughts about the AV remarks, Wayne said, “These complaints are getting so overboard now. How does the scene appear like an AV?”
But after a moment’s thoughts, Wayne laughed and exclaimed that he should consider the AV industry. “If they call that AV, then I can get a job in Japan! It would be great to have the chance to film a movie called Horny and Cockroaches!”
In related news, Natalie Tong (唐詩詠), who will be seducing Wayne in Bullet Brain, revealed that she will have a few bold scenes, including an exotic dancing sequence while wearing a revealing shirt.

i stopped watching after the third episode.
Take me with you, Wayne.
Are you kidding?… this is a potential ratings blunder due to a very bad script and Wayne’s performance.
I hope Lee Tim Sing get his face slap because he needs to stop casting Wayne and fix the mistakes before releasing out.
Your comment is so harsh; did something are taken away from your hand by Tim Gor and Wayne.
yeah, my eyeballs
Larry is just being honest.
it is very bad script and very BAD performance from Wayne.
i also think this has to be Sire’s worst performance and she isnt normally great
Hardly erotic, hardly AV. Did TVB themselves under the disguise of public filed the complaints themselves to drum up some publicity?
The so called Natalie baring her back, scene to Wayne, that was a funny scene if it wasn’t so desperate since the poor woman imagined the entire thing in her head!
AV? It is no big deal; some erotic scenes make the series more attractive to watch; Now is 21st century why there are some people still conservative like that.
Have you even watch hardcore AV at all?
If the producer did make the hardcore AV then it is certainly there were people like to watch it. I will watch whatever i feel interesting; so what?
WTF are you talking about?
@Larry
FYI Av Jap is soft pron not hardcore AV
let not talk about those stuff here ….
Yes we should. Where’s my boy “yuaida”
To Larry 3
It seems you lost the TV King award to Wayne making you sound so angered; your eyeballs are still there because you can read my comment and answered me; right?
It seems you don’t make sense at all.
Vann and larry 3 I reckon you both are retards
Shut up ash you tool this was none of your business
Please stop being a-hole.
I am going insane, talking to myself! like tavia yeung
Good for you Ash Ketchup, dumba-ss
Hey guys sorry I’m late, other personality needed to use the toilet.
I have a split personality I think.
To: Ash ketchup
You are right!!! I am a little bit retarded.
can they fast forward, delete half of the series and put an end to it.
what will be showing next? pls not another wayne series again for at least another 6 months. its just getting toooo tired.
I will watch this series until the end and looking forward to “Will Power” and “Rosy Business 3” in which Wayne plays leading role. He is the most talented actor of the TVB and I hope he will get one more TV king this year.
TV King again in 2013 ……….. poor TVB who does not have any good actors at all! If Wayne is considered to be the best actor in TVB, I feel so sorry for TVB.
The scene was unnecessary and not relevant.
Yawn, the series is boring. THey said it’d pick up but so far, meh.
What scene are you talking about? is it inappropriate, I want to see it
Is Wayne wearing a piece, because his hair looks really fake at the front.
wayne’s acting is too exaggerated. never really liked his acting but diff people have diff preferences. on a side note,i really like edwin siu’s acting in a great way to care 2
Am watching Safe Guards again. What a fantastic series. Wayne was masterful and Steven was gallant. One of the best.
Okay everyone seems to have something to comment…I would like to add my comment.
Basically i thought this was a comedy when it was featured in the last sales presentation but ended up not. It is merely a little out of reality especially when one is injured in the head but never died but instead became a genius…so this is beyond reality. Emm..i am okay with this because at the end of the day it is still a story. A story can be of many different types of genre. Something different and interesting.
I like the cinematography. There is an effort to be different. I appreciate that.
Wayne is a little exaggerating? Yes…a little but again, it trust it is aligning with the story and being a little out of reality, this is acceptable. Wayne being AV? Oh…I think it is nothing and acceptable. Let’s make it into a movie, i would believe it is more realistic, huh.
But again, there are several scenes where his acting was required to be more realistic e.g. When he was paying the last respect to his dead father, when he was dumped & slapped by Mui Mui, when he was trying to hold Pao Ping Onn’s hand, when he was dancing in the nightclub…i simply think he was awesome.
Natalie showing her back…i guess Nat should be more daring and try more challenging role. It’s time for her to breakthrough. Keep it Up, Nat!
Sire Ma’s acting is pretty good for someone new. I like her acting. 🙂
Edwin is not too bad. But I guess his role is easy to handle. But he did a good job so far. Plus he sings well! I like the theme song. 🙂
Pierre Ngo has always been good! Gambateh!
Well folks! Give it a little patience. I do agree the first few episodes are a little slow but it is picking up! I am liking it so far.
Have a nice day!
