Michael Tse Not Afraid That Stephen Chan’s Camp Will Fight For TV King; Kate Tsui Denies Fighting For More Screentime
TVB drama, Lives of Omission《潛行狙擊》, is still currently broadcasting and heating up the television screens of households. This thus made Michael Tse (謝天華) and Kate Tsui (徐子珊) a fast-rising target of magazines out there.
There were rumors that with Stephen Chan‘s (陳志雲) official return to TVB, he was planning to support either Wong Hei (王喜) or Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) up to be TV King, which could burst Michael Tse’s dream of becoming TV King. It was also rumored that in a bid to be more outstanding than Fala Chen (陳法拉) in new drama Schemes of East and West《東西宮略》, Kate Tsui had apparently requested the producer to add in more scenes for her but later quit the drama after her plan to gain additional screen time backfired.
Yesterday, Michael Tse, Kate Tsui, Ella Koon (官恩娜), Mag Lam (林欣彤) and etc attended the recording and praying ceremony for “Macau Shopping Festival 2011: The Entire City Moves Along” (tentative title) .
Stephen Chan’s return to TVB had set off rumors of a massive shift in the TV King and Queen positions, even indicating Wayne Lai, Wong Hei and etc of “replacing” Michael as the top contender.
In reply to this, despite facing with all kinds of speculations, Michael’s confidence of winning the TV King award did not waver one bit. Michael even professed that he did not need to respond on who would be TV King, “I do not need to comment on this. There has been too many sensationalized news, I will always respond only to the truth.” (Reporter: Starting to feel the pressure from the intense competition for TV King?) “No. Just felt that everyone will talk about this issue sooner or later. Furthermore, when I walk on the streets now, many people chase after me to ask about the finale of “Lives of Omission”, feeling more happy than stressed.”
As for rumors that Stephen Chan’s return had divided the artistes into two different camps, the “Stephen Chan camp” and the “Virginia Lok camp”, Michael clarified that the company has never split into any camps, “Actually it [the splitting into camps] isn’t portrayed by Mr Chan himself but rather, it was portrayed by the outside world. I feel that everyone only has the same target in mind and that is, working for TVB.”
Kate Tsui was, on the other hand, pestered to answer rumors that she lost out the role of Xia Ying Chun from TVB upcoming drama “Schemes of East and West”, which was eventually awarded to Sharon Chan (陳敏之), because she had allegedly threw a tantrum and refused to share equal screen time with Fala Chen.
In reply to this, Kate helplessly said, “Never heard about these news. Sounds quite interesting though. Previously, Tommy Leung (梁家樹) [TVB Deputy Chief-Director and Producer] did discuss with me about this drama but at that time, he hasn’t determined the roles yet and I couldn’t take on the drama after that as it clashed with my work schedule.” (Reporter: Don’t wish to collaborate with Fala Chen?) “No such thing. We had just co-operated and completed a series together so how could that be possible?”
(Isn’t it a case of it’s either choosing between me or her and no coexistence?) “How could that be, the company is already short-handed, we can’t wait for more people to come and join the company so that we can have more time to head out and earn more money.” (Fala Chen is your biggest opponent for this year’s TV Queen award?) “I only know that I have five dramas out this year. However, I look highly upon Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) as I heard that she gave a stellar performance in TVB Anniversary drama, The Queen of All《萬凰之王》.”
*Warning: Possible Spoilers for “Lives of Omission” ahead*
In other news, there has been a circulation of a so-called “Lives of Omission” ending around the web but netizens were skeptical about whether the ending was true. In that ‘unconfirmed-to-be-true” ending, most netizens widely discussed about how Fala Chen’s Madam Jo turned out to be a turncoat police while Kate Tsui’s Paris was, in fact, a police undercover agent. As for Bosco Wong‘s (黃宗澤) Cripple Co. having a “brokeback” romance with his underling Bao Deng (爆燈) in that ending, netizens felt that it was nothing but hogwash.

Kate looks like Maggie Q in the first pic above
I like Kate’s look here, curely hair suits her. i even think she resembles a bit of Angelina Jolie
sorry ;P should spell curly
im glad its sharon that will make the series watchable for me.
Kate looks different, Michael looks scary.
And the ending is in the end everybody is an undercover cop.
everyone in the series should be undercover gangster instead hehe
Are you talking about the last Laughing movie?
Or gangster who is undercover cop is actually undercover gangster and cop who is undercover gangster is actually undercover cop.
You know like Infernal Affairs, the mother of all such plots.
Funn,
“Or gangster who is undercover cop is actually undercover gangster and cop who is undercover gangster is actually undercover cop.”
Funny; this could be the plot of the new Laughing Gor movie you know.
@Funn Lim @Veejay:
“Kate looks different”
“Kate looks like Maggie Q in the first pic above”
Erm, I think that’s because she dyed her eyebrows thus maybe why she look more westernized here! I think lahs! 😀
I think they both look weird here cause the camera’s flash light took them by surprise and probably cause it’s shot at a most unflattering side view. :X
Oh and too casual clothes, they look like they are going for a walk in the park more than attending a program recording.
Hair colour maybe but I just realise why. They both looked positively tired.
Even kate looks tired in the pic, i still find that hair colour suits her. Maybe westernized looks suit her more. I also think she has gotten prettier over the years compare to her appearance on tv.
I think Kate looks fantastic with lighter brown hair. Is she wearing colored contact lenses too? The wavy, shoulder length hair is nice. Overall, her new style really makes her facial features pop more.
@Veejay @Jayne:
I like her hair color too! Agree that it makes her facial features pop out more! But I think it depends on the lighting too, Kate doesn’t look as good in the header photo of the latest article! 😛
With the Tee, her tomboy side shows up
No matter what I am waiting patiently for the ending now. Am not sure whether I would like Fala’s character be killed though. Trouble is, if she is then I just don’t know who should be the best replacement for her in a new series because I am almost sure that they would do a third series.
I m starting to lose interesting in LOO, maybe too much of mistakes in there which made me think the whole series looks Fake.
*lose interest

Laugh out loud at the depiction cooked by the rumors. Gives me a mental image of Kate throwing tantrum..hahahah
You know if for once she is Ha Ying Chun I will say good casting. Sharon Chan is wrong.
Fala is too pretty so I also think she suits HYC more! Sharon can be CMY and TVB can always alter the storyline so that Fala still be more than Sharon

The traditional answer for any TVB artist when s/he is asked on “camp”.
However, I look highly upon Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) as I heard that she gave a stellar performance in TVB Anniversary drama, The Queen of All《萬凰之王》.”
Another hint.
Yeah. Another hint.
LMAO obviously hint!
” As for Bosco Wong‘s (黃宗澤) Cripple Co. having a “brokeback” romance with his underling Bao Deng (爆燈) in that ending, netizens felt that it was nothing but hogwash.”
Yummy. This better not be a rumor. Bao Deng is quite good looking and will match Bai Co well 😀
He’s cute!
Is it the guy like next Louis Koo?
Oh, I wonder does anyone who the name of the actress who plays a police woman working under Derek Kwok and she’s in love with him. Always has her hair in a ponytail and has a slight accent. Don’t know whether she is from America or Mainland China but I quite like her although never seen her in anything else before.
Mandy Wong, right?
I like Mandy Wong!
Yup, that’s Mandy Wong (黃智雯). She was a Miss Hong Kong finalist a few years ago. Actually, she’s been in quite a few series already (and will be in many upcoming ones). Just do a Wiki search! 🙂
next for michael is to play frankenstein. he reminds me of it in this pic LOL
“As for Bosco Wong‘s (黃宗澤) Cripple Co. having a “brokeback” romance with his underling Bao Deng (爆燈) in that ending, netizens felt that it was nothing but hogwash.”
ROFL! First netizens PS-ed some “bromance” pictures of Bosco and Michael Tse. Now Bosco and the Bao Deng guy?
The net circulation starts from here:

《#潛行狙擊#》，潛行的最深的不是臥底，是愛 ！潛行的愛才是最經得起考驗的愛 ！記住他，爆登（何賜登）@沈震軒Sammy 愛得太遲 跛Co@黄宗泽

I do like the sauna scenes! 🙂
I have to appreciate that this series has a lot of eye candy. In Tuesday’s episode, Bosco looked so hot wearing the fedora when they played pool. And I wouldn’t mind if laughing keeps his shirt unbuttoned another notch. And that guy fala met at the music place. He looked really cute w/ the glasses.
The second pic looks like PTS-ed. However, Co and Deng have this BL feel.
SPOILER: I just watched LOO episode 28, this brokeback rumour is actually true!
@Fox No all the pics are real and taken from the series. Te second pic is after Kate come out from lock up
Thanks Fox. Is this Mandy Wong a newcomer?
Kind of. She acted in several series. Her first one should be Best Selling Secrets. She was praised there. After that, she also takes part in other series and most of them are praised. She is now considered as new generation of actress.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandy_Wong
Mandy is a HK girl.
i dont like her hair colour it doesnt really suit her
kate actually looks hotter there, but not hotter than fala
Thanks Fox. Didn’t know she was a HK girl – don’t know why I thought she had an accent.
This drama was shown from exactly the same day as in HK and would of course finish tomorrow. I wonder is it the same as in the US or has it been shown just a few episodes up to now?
