Dicky Cheung Doesn’t Care Too Much About Awards
Dicky Cheung (張衛健), Sisley Choi (蔡思貝), Tony Hung (洪永城), Vivien Yeo (楊秀惠), and Zoie Tam (譚凱琪) attended their new drama The Learning Curve of a Warlord <大帥哥> promotional event. When asked which award each actor would want, Dicky wrote “New Actor Award” in which he jokingly responded, “I mean it’s my first time filming in the Tseung Kwan O studio, so technically I’m a new actor.”
This year, Dicky was nominated for “Best Actor” for the 2018 TVB Anniversary Awards, which will be held on December 16. He said, “Wow! I have never won any filming-related awards before. As long as I can win my fan’s hearts, being half a TV King already makes me very happy. But from filming so many years, I know comedy series usually don’t win awards. I remember this specific line from my song ‘Everyone gets the big award except for me’ and I think it best reflects me.”
Though Dicky is not confident about the award, he is still very content about the drama’s results so far. Apparently, the drama has already received 76 million views in Mainland China alone and many fans are happy to hear his classic phrases within the drama.
When asked about his attendance at the award ceremony, he said he would have to check his scheduling to see if he is available. Since he didn’t sign with TVB, Dicky doesn’t have high hopes to win any awards.
Earlier, Dicky and his wife, Jess Zhang (張茜), went to South Africa for vacation. Happy to share the trip’s details, Dicky said that South Africa is definitely an amazing place as they both loved animals. Though Dicky did not disclose any baby plans, he did mention that they had many romantic candlelit dinners.

Dear Dicky,
You should because you should win it. Because you are the definition of a true star when TVB casts you with secondary actors that doesn’t help your performance, you had to carry the series alone and 4 episodes in, still entertaining because of you alone. They could have cast better trio for you, those who have comedic timing to match your wit and your fast delivery of punchline after punchline, like how Wong Cholam did with his series, or Dayo Wong, they could have cast better actresses who doesn’t just stand there and react to whatever you dish out but match you and dish it back to you, they could have done so many things, instead, they cast you with probably 3 of the most non-chemistry supporting actors as your sworn brothers, and 3 female actresses with one who for some unknown reason has the luck to stand next to you and who could only react and could not contribute. Individually they are competent actors, but next to you, I cry because there are so many others who could have made this series the funniest series this year if not ever and they just cast those who have the comedic timing of a turtle climbing up a tree. I can never understand why TVB who names a character after you so obviously mean that you are the star and yet cast those surrounding you with such callousness. Only the veterans were somewhat fitting but well, can’t ask for Wayne Lai to be supporting, since he is top star but it can’t hurt to ask right? Or Louis Cheung or CKwan, Sammy Leung, Grace Wong as femme fatale (in any of the 2 available roles for her to take), that Chilam lookalike actor who is rather funny when he has to be … who else.. oh so many, so many, those secondary actors who are funny and time to shine and here you cast… why.. why… because you alone can carry the show and attract the viewers? Sure. But you alone can’t hold the interest with pop culture references for entire series.
I can never understand why you are screwed over by TVB’s callousness. did they even audition those people or is it management’s decision to place whoever next to you hoping your bright star will shine on them?
I am still watching, happy to see the monkey king again and many other fantastic delivery of lines but cry murder because everytime I see Sisley’s face and I wonder, what devil is she worshipping that she got the luck to be the female lead? And even Vivien Yeo who is herself competent isn’t my idea of a star big enough to stand next to you. But I guess you are the highest paid babysitter at TVB for now?
Sincerely,
your fan who suffers to watch you back in TVB
