Lee Tim Shing Confirms Myolie Wu Joining “Rosy Business 3”
It is confirmed that Sheren Tang (鄧萃雯) will not be returning to Rosy Business 3 <巾幗梟雄 3>.
Being the soul of the Rosy Business franchise, Sheren’s name was shockingly striked from the third installment. Due to her rumored contractual issues and high demands, Sheren reportedly was cut out from the series and replaced by Myolie Wu (胡杏儿).
The lead actress replacement was widely discussed by netizens. Many have called TVB to reconsider their choice and some even threatened a mutiny to not watch the series.
In response to the controversial replacement, Producer Lee Tim Shing (李添勝) revealed that he wanted to instill “new blood” and revitalize the Rosy Business franchise.
New Blood in the Drama
Despite being dubbed as part of a trilogy, Rosy Business 3 will have a fresh storyline. The series will focus on the romantic and passionate first love between young couples. Myolie Wu, Wayne Lai (黎耀祥), and rising TVB actor, Edwin Siu(萧正楠) will star in the drama. The trio will develop a complicated relationship against the backdrop of a turbulent era.
Past key Rosy Business supporting cast members, Susan Tse (謝雪心) and Ngo Ka Nin (敖嘉年) have been dropped out from the series too. Tim Gor said, “I will start filming in February next year. I checked their schedules; they can’t reserve their time for me.”
Only Wayne Lai Remains
As Tim Gor indicated that he wanted a new pool of actors to revitalize the series, questions arise as to why Wayne was included. “I did retain Wayne. If I do not even retain him, the entire series will be beyond recognition. There isn’t any core character, then we can’t name the series as Rosy Business anymore!”
Tim Gor to Help Myolie Improve Her Acting
Tim Gor specifically handpicked Myolie as the female lead in Rosy Business 3. This will be their first collaboration. As many viewers have criticized Myolie for her exaggerated acting, Tim Gor replied, “Myolie Wu is the fadan that I wanted most! Actually, she has been acting quite well. Maybe nobody has pointed out to her; on the set, she exerted too much ‘strength’ in her acting. In Rosy Business 3, I will help her to restrain a bit and her acting will be fine-tuned.”
Tim Gor also hoped to bring out the potential of Myolie, “I hope that under my guidance, Myolie will glow. She already expressed to me that she is willing to participate and looked forward to the collaboration. ”
Tim Gor Defended Sheren
Tim Gor dismissed that Sheren had been left out from Rosy Business 3 due to her diva attitude and unreasonable demands. “Working with Sheren in the past, she has always been devoted to acting well.”
For the third series, Tim Gor revealed that he had difficulty writing the script if the golden couple, Wayne and Sheren still remained in the show. “Sheren and Wayne are very compatible. The more compatible they are, the more difficult it is to write a script. I gave them a beautiful love story and I had written it all there. I did not reserve anything. I gave it all to them!”
Tim Gor further added, “They had a subtle love the first time. For the second time, it was an ‘earth shattering’ love! How do we want them to love for the third time? I scratch my head and still can’t think of a story!”
Sheren Tang Responds
Responding that she was ousted from Rosy Business 3, Sheren replied, “My schedule for February and March next year is already full. I do not have any reservations on acting in the series. TVB has not called me to discuss. Regarding this matter, Tim Gor also did not call me. I also do not know if they still want me to act in the series. I really do not know about this matter. ”

I believe Sheren Teng. She has probably become too expensive and she is not as many say TVB’s own biological child so to speak.
As for Myolie, if it is modern drama, it should be ok but I don’t see her having any potential sparks with Wayne, since they look like an odd couple.
Funn,
Agree that physically, Myolie and Wayne lack compatibility. Maybe Lee Tim Shing can write a younger woman falling for a much older man in “Rosy Business 3”? A woman falling for a father figure?
I always felt that Wayne’s weakness is acting as a romantic lead. He’s great in other aspects, but he doesn’t convey the passionate aspects well. Although Bowie Lam may be similar in age, Bowie is much more convincing in romantic roles and having a stronger chemistry with his female costars. Wayne comes across as more restrained in this manner.
In that case, Wayne must make a breakthrough in romantic plot. He can do it! Just need a little push and out break himself. Maybe 3rd time TV King will be on the way..:-)
Fans complained that Myolie and Gallen Lo looked more like sister and older brother in “When a Dog Loves a Cat.” The age difference will be much too great in Myolie and Wayne pairing.
They can be leads without being romantic partners.
May be, Wayne-TV King and Myolie-TV Queen 2013.
wow, if I was sheren I would be dissapointed and sad that TVB nor Lee Tim Shing contacted her. They did not even try to include Sheren in the 3rd installment of RB.
Yes, I would be offended if I was Sheren.
this series is this good and hyped up because of the two main characters…. i don’t get how they think they can go on without one of the original leads lol
Myolie, big sister, forever support her. Can’t wait to see, Myolie-Wayne- a new chemistry, Myolie-Edwin-a cute couple. Love you so much, Myolie, you act always good.
Then why making this series for? Why why! Do you think replacing the original actor with another will make this series the same? ugh!
Exactly, they should not market this as Rosy Business 3 and should be presented as a series on its own. I’m guessing they can already foresee that viewership will not be very high so they are using the Rosy Business name to create publicity and hype to get people to watch it. It’s definitely not the same without Sheren in it!
Isn’t Tim Gor a really good producer, then what is the problem of making a new series, instead of using RB and make a part 3 without Sheren!
I agree…I HATE it when directors/producers try and make ‘sequels’or franchises in which they scrap out the main leads who brought the first one success and use the original title in order to hype up the audience…it’d only make audiences compare the sequel with the original, and in most cases, make them realise how sh*t the sequel is when comparing. With mainly a different cast involved and only one of the main lead from the original cast, why not just say it’s a different series huh??
To be honest, even if they put out a RB3 with Sharon and Wayne as lead…I think RB2 was enough and they should just stop it at that.
I don’t see how RB2 is sequel to RB 1 when each does not correspond to the other. Just same cast.
Just checking, is Bowie LAm gay?
Jenn,
Bowie has been been rumored to date men. Former Mr. Hong Kong participant, Bryon Pang, was at Bowie’s mother’s funeral. After this event, Bowie was linked to Bryon, but rumors claim that they have separated for close to 2 years.
However, Bowie is not as open as Wong He regarding his viewpoints over homosexuality.
I will say yes. But if he now dates women, then he is bisexual. Frankly don’t care. He was (since he left) TVB’s sexiest actor.
speaking of bowie…i really miss seeing him in tvb dramas. such a great actor, a pity that tvb doesn’t know how to keep the real talent. instead, they just promote siu sangs and fadans that are weak and only have appearance.
To be fare TVB also promotes Bowie. He just got too big for TVB and I support his decision to venture out, learn more, see more, and come back as a better actor than he already is. Even if I do cry about his departure.
I miss Bowie too much…..
I would have boycotted the series had Lee Tim Shing picked Christine Kuo to be the female lead instead of Myolie Wu. I’m still gutted Sheren Tang won’t be in the third installment but I am sure Myolie would do a good job.
Might as well rename it into something else.
Wayne and Myolie don’t really seem to match, but I’m still looking forward to see how it turns out. I’m interested in seeing how Myolie and Edwin will turn out.
Oddly, Wayne and Myolie’s age difference isn’t that big compared to other upcoming pairings. haha
http://ww2.sinaimg.cn/large/70e120a9tw1dwmsk0mtusj.jpg
AC,
Interesting age-gap stats! Niki and Michael Miu are also an awkward pairing. This is the problem when TVB tries to bring back older veteran stars and trying to partner them with younger TVB actresses for more star-studded cast.
We will be seeing more women fall for mature father figures. Same thing in Tavia and Damien Lau pairing in “Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles.”
“Same thing in Tavia and Damien Lau pairing in “Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles.””
No problem with that since she is like 2nd wife, etc? Remember Ada and what;’s his name is Gem Of Life? They ended up looking like a rather compatible couple.
Yeah, I also think that a lot of their older actresses either get married/have a baby and don’t really film anymore, or they left to film for China and not really concentrating their work at TVB anymore.
I remember when Kristal Tin started at TVB, she said she was hired to portray older roles because there is a gap for them at TVB, but she’s only 34! Maybe with the other ATV actresses they hired (Joey, Alice Chan, Elena Kong), they’ll be used to pair up with veterans now?
““Same thing in Tavia and Damien Lau pairing in “Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles.””
No problem with that since she is like 2nd wife, etc? Remember Ada and what;’s his name is Gem Of Life? They ended up looking like a rather compatible couple.”
We don’t even know the plot of this series though. For all we know, the “first love” couple refers to Edwin and Myolie. I won’t say Wayne and Myolie look as awkward as… Wayne and Sire Ma or Niki and Michael Miu.
Michael Miu looks good for his age. The only pair I did not see much age difference is Alex Fong and Tavia and if I were to put it nicely it is because Tavia looks mature for her age. My problem with Myolie and Wayne is not age but rather the looks. Bobby is one actor who can pair with any actresses. Where is Bobby?!
To be honest I never thought Tsui Wing and Lam Yi Kei in Love Come Home would match with their looks and 15 age gap (with the women being older!). I quite enjoy watching the pair though 🙂
At least Myolie and Wayne would be a fresh pair. Who knows what they would look like together before we actually see them 🙂
There was an interview a while ago with Bobby where he joked about how his partners keep getting younger and younger, and how he told Yoyo that she might play his step-mom soon. hehe
Bobby will be filming a pre-modern series produced by Chong Wai Kin and there’s no female lead yet. Is there anyone you want to see him paired with?
Anyone will do. He matches everybody except not too young please.
Agree Bobby is one of those lucky ones …hahha….
Well, we now know Bobby will be pairing… Esther Kwan: http://hyn5-hyn5.blogspot.com/2012/09/chong-wai-kins-november-series-info.html

“The series will focus on the romantic and passionate first love between young couples.”
Wayne and Myolie would not be a young couple and it would be weird if they had to act as if they had their first love in the series.
If Myolie Wu replacing Sheren Tang I won’t watch Rosy Business 3, whichever films Myolie in I normally won’t watch I just think she’s over acting all the time.
disappointed sheren wont be in ths drama
Myolie and Wayne? I like both, but RB should be Wayne and Sheren. Will probably skip this RB3.
Myolie acting very poor, l very surprised why she can get TV Queen on last year??? she acting very lousy.
Absolutely agree, especially Myolie Wu got her TV Queen award in her queen character in “Curse of the Royal Harem”, and not in “Ghetto Justice”. A bigger noise against her!
Memo to Tim Gor: “MYOLIE IS NOT NEW BLOOD”
Oh! Is Myolie playing Wayne’s daughter in the new series? 😀
Probably!
Myolie is younger and looks younger than Wayne, but not enough to play his daughter. Maybe his younger sister, but definitely not as his daughter.
Nah, his mom…….from the future LOL
Didn’t Tim Gor say it’s not RB3? Now, he’s contradicting himself. Srly, just use a brand new cast and title. Stop milking RB.
Interesting how bad Tim Gor wants Myolie in comparison to other fadans. Tavia was replaceable for Detective Columbo.
Well I do not like this matching but I will watch because of Wayne.
Myolie will never improve in her acting! She stayed the same all these years.
I can say the same about… hmm… everyone else in TVB. 🙂
Haters will hate 🙂
That’s very true!!! TVB is cheap so they can’t keep the talented ones. It’s sad to see Myolie is the best that got. Her acting is not worthy to be called tv queen.
I think Tim Gor’s series would only be “Rosy Business” if Sheren and Wayne are both in it!
Although i DO agree with Tim Gor’s pointers on Myolie’s acting [u gotta believe him, he is a professional]
“Sheren Tang Responds:
Responding that she was ousted from Rosy Business 3, Sheren replied, “My schedule for February and March next year is already full. I do not have any reservations on acting in the series. TVB has not called me to discuss. Regarding this matter, Tim Gor also did not call me. I also do not know if they still want me to act in the series. I really do not know about this matter. ”
———————————————
I would definitely feel bad for Sheren Tang. No one contacted her about the airing of “Rosy Business 3”, not TVB nor Producer Lee Tim Shing. Sheren did mention last year that she hoped to film Rosy Business 3 with Wayne Lai, Lee Tim Sing and Cheung Wah Biu. Now the crew and co-actor were there, and she was not even asked to be the co-artiste.
Sheren only had her schedules booked in February and March, and Lee Tim Sing is only filming one drama series per year. He can surely start “Rosy Business 3” in April 2013. It all depends how much he wants to cast Sheren Tang. It is TVB’s politics again.
I doubt that Sheren Tang will ever film any more TVB drama series in future after she finishes her current per-series contract.
This just made me dissapointed over TVB and Tim Gor.
Me, too. Producer Lee Tim Sing seemed to be too easy going and could be influenced by other people/TVB easily.
me too, I can’t believe that actress (Myolie) replace Sheren! it’s terrible, very very sad & completely dissapointed!:(
Seems like Tim Gor has lost his mind completely, LOL
Well, hes getting older 🙂
no one can replace Sheren Tang, especial Myolie Wu, she acting really very poor, maybe i wouldn’t care about this drama if it’s not RB3, Why they choose the name is RB3 while there’re no Sheren Tang??????????
Agree with you absolutely. Any other veterans can replace Sheren if it is TVB’s decision, but not our “so-called” TV Queen Myolie. Don’t like her exaggerated acting …….. even Lee Tim Sing said Myolie’s acting was always exaggerated.
Well, TVB just wanted to re-confirm Myolie’s weak TV Queen’s and Big Sister’s status.
Hahaha. If Myolie’s acting is bad but Tim Gor chose her and said he would teach her so that then she would improve, what does that says about the other fadans’ acting? Horrible to a state where teaching is useless? :O
First of all I agree with Sunny, Myolie’s my idol is good at everything better than others, but most of the people think she exaggerates a bit in some drama, that does not mean they are not good. Second EVE, do not be so pessimistic and bad with her, just because you do not like her or even it is not one of your favorite actresses, you can´t say bad things of her. And third HANNAH, if producer Lee Tim Sing one of the best producer of drama of TVB or others producer select her to act in his drama, that´s proves that she is good at what he do or act. We can not say it in that way, for example I like to see or know what ever Myolie has in drama or music,That does not mean that Tavia, Linda or Fala dramas, I don´t like to see and even say some bad words about them .
Give her some space to do what she has to do. Thanks
I agree with you. We love Myolie.
i agree with you hahahahah is not RB3 with out sheren she is the soul of the series without her and wayne as partner then is not rb3 CHANGE THE NAME TVB
Tim said that he is going to retire after that serie but is one serie after the next guess he is not then then why he said it when RB finished airing or was it NR
He said that he is going to polish myolie to topnotch cuz most of the producer doesnt know what weak points she has but he does REALLY!! i think he is saying to much or alot and besides wayne and myolie as a pair….I WILL NOT WATCH THIS SERIE IF IS RB3 if is another serie i will give it 1week to impress me cuz i like wayne
Agree, too. Good point.
It seems that Producer Lee Tim Sing is a person who can be influenced by other people easily. He is not firm and does not stick to his points. I will have to reassess his abilities and choices in castig from now on.
Without Sheren, I have some doubt about Wayne’s acting with his female partners in terms of romantic scenes. He did not do very well with Maggie Cheung (another veteran) or Nancy Wu in “Forensic Heroes 3”.
I thought Wayne was fine with Maggie and Nancy in FH3. Not the best chemistry, but not an eye sore.
I did not say it was “an eye sore”, but Wayne did much better with Sheren Tang in “No Regrets”. Sometimes it is what we call “chemistry”. Sheren can bring out more of Wayne’s acting in romantic scenes.
YES YES YES! CHANGE THE NAME TVB! that insult the real “Rosy Business”
and me too, I WILL NOT WATCH IT!
No, keep the name. It is a wrecking ball!
So not interested in the drama already! Without Sheren, then it’s so not “Rosy Business 3” and Myolie, that’s a big joke. Anyways I believe that this series will probably not have high viewership ratings already, without Sheren, the soul of the series is gone.
Is not even confirm or started filming and most of us here is complaining tim sing change the female and ya i agree with you (Hi) myolie>is a big joke
is a big joke to all of us that lve the series when it aired now going down hill i want sheren or another female that is better/can be compare to sheren but NOT myolie
Oh boo! Sheren won’t be in this! Myolie isn’t good enough! I’m so disappointed! This is some kind of joke! I’m totally not watching this!
*Whine*Whine*Whine*Complain*Complain*Complain*Hate*Hate*Hate*Blah*Blah*Blah*
I’m not exactly a Myolie fan but I consider her a competent actress. I’m sure she’ll do a decent job in Rosy Business 3. The only problem, and I blame the producer and actually feel sorry for Myolie about this, is that everyone is going to compare her to Sheren. And she is no Sheren.
Haha no need to feel sorry for Myolie just because a few antis are attacking her left right center. Not like their comments will affect Myolie personally anyway.
At the end of the day, Myolie IS the female lead of Tim Gor’s new series. =D
I don’t know how many actresses would be willing to be bashed online if it means being the female lead of a Tim Gor series. Hmm…
I feel sorry for Myolie Wu, too, for replacing Sheren Tang. First, it is impossible for her to replace Sheren under any circumstances. Sheren’s acting is just superior even among veterans.
[As many viewers have criticized Myolie for her exaggerated acting, Tim Gor replied, “Myolie Wu is the fadan that I wanted most! Actually, she has been acting quite well. Maybe nobody has pointed out to her; on the set, she exerted too much ‘strength’ in her acting. In Rosy Business 3, I will help her to restrain a bit and her acting will be fine-tuned.”] ……… Lee Tim Sing further confirmed to the public that Myolie’s acting needed to be “fine-tuned”.
I didn’t recall that any producer had made this kind of statement to the public towards a TV Queen. Producer Lee Tim Sing did say something about Niki Chow before he cast her in “Bottled Passion”. However, he did not criticize her or her acting, but just said he thought highly of her and would make her a 1st lead actress.
I agree with no matter what the true story in this is that Myolie replaced Sheren, like or not like that´s the true so everybody has to accepted it. No matter what I will always support myolie. she is a good person and actress.
People should stop comparing Myolie to Sheren. I’m sure Myolie will do a great job. Tim Gor won’t pick her out of nothing.
It is sad that Myolie Wu has been asked to replace Sheren in “Rosy Business 3” which is a classic to many many people in Hong Kong and overseas. It will be impossible not to compare Myolie’s acting with Sheren’s unfortunately.
@sandcherry,
Although Myolie may shows alot of “gwing” face during her crying scene but she’s the best actress among the current fadans.
Other than myolie, I also like TY.. I think both of them have great potential to sheren in another few years.. just give them more experience.
* to replace sheren*
sandcherry, Myolie’s role in RB3 never belonged to Sheren in the first place.
agree with you. Stop saying bad thing of her or even comparing her with sheren.
Now the Rosy Business franchise is going to be ruined. I’m sure someone’s already said this, but without Sheren, it just isn’t the same. Depending on the storyline and script, I may not even watch it. I don’t have anything against Myolie, but I’m not looking forward to her acting in Sheren’s role.
I thought No Regrets already ruined Rosy Business. To me, No Regrets was just a big mistake; even with the similar approach and same casts (Sheren and Wayne) as Rosy Business, it didn’t work for me.
I think No Regrets was great! Not as good as Rosy Business, but it was still a fantastic drama. Definitely one of TVB’s best in recent years.
Personally, I like some parts of No Regrets but I feel Rosy Business is the stronger and more tightly written drama. For me NR got quite draggy and repetitive at some points (especially when the character of Lau Ching was concerned), and the last few episodes made me feel like they were just stalling for the finale.
Who said Myolie will be in Sheren’s role? Of course Tim Gor will change the role to suit Myolie.
If Sheren was never even offered the role to begin with, how is it even her role at all?
Oh no it’s very dissapointed without Sheren in RB3. love Sheren acting..she is very capable actress. very hard to find capable actress nowdays.
Agree. Sheren Tang is almost the best actress among veterans. None of those fadans can be compared with Sheren Tang in acting skills. They may be younger and prettier in appearance, but definitely not better in acting.
True but give these young fadans some time to gain their experience, because I’m sure one of them will rise to Sheren’s level one day 🙂
Give Myolie and her peers time. They will also rise to Sheren’s level one day and one day later all the anti Myolie will also say ‘Myolie is good, so and so new fadan can’t compare to her!’. Sheren also took years to get to her acting level today
yup, it’s just unfair to compare these young fadan with Sheren when Sheren herself required many years to enhanced her acting ability.. 🙂
“Actually, she has been acting quite well. Maybe nobody has pointed out to her; on the set, she exerted too much ‘strength’ in her acting. In Rosy Business 3, I will help her to restrain a bit and her acting will be fine-tuned.””
But, from what I see is AFOS, he didn’t help Natalie much in restraining herself. Natalie was super dramatic in AFOS.
@Kidd,
AFOS stands for??
wELL, Natalie has been known as super dramatic artis eversince the fury fist something..
I think AFOS is the same as the “fury fist something” you referred to. 😛
haha thanks Nicole.
I always forget about the name of the sereis after watching them always.. I tend to forget about them very fast cuz too many things in mind hehe
Hehe,
AFOS – a fistful of stances, TVB series
Fury fist – should be “fist of fury” Bruce Lee movie 🙂
another low budget Hollywood movie called Balls of fury where they play table tennis starring Maggie Q, haha
But she won Most Improved and got a lot of buzz because of that role, so you can say he did help her. lol
I’m glad Myolie is in. However, she’d be better paired off with Edwin rather than Wayne, just an observation and hunch.
Myolie has always create chemistry with older people like Francis and Bobby.
But in this case, it is hard to imagine Wayne and Myolie in a first love romance.
Besides it’s a blessing that Tim Gor didn’t go on and picking Christine or JJ, and end up picking Myolie instead.
I think Tim Gor isn’t that blind until he has to choose Christine or JJ or “AIMEE”!.. becase these 3 still have more to go before they could be paired with Wayne..
I think Tim Gor was just being sarcastic when he said he wants to pick JJ and Christine before. His secret real choice is Myolie and we should respect him for this. He himself admit that Myolie’s acting is good.
Tim Gor always wants to colaborated with Myolie, but myolie´s schedule always is full on to next year, finally tim gor get the good timing to ask myolie for his new drama.
Any other actress will also pray that they can be in Tim Gor series and pair with TV King Wayne
So what era RB3 gonna be? I think that’s a new injection of Myolie into RB3.. Sheren was indeed good in RB, RB2 but I kinda had enough of her and its a nice change to add Myolie in. I’d like to see the collaboration of Wayne and Myolie. 🙂
Exactly Veejay. Sheren was good, but injecting Myolie into RB3 and pairing with Wayne will be fresh! I think the young love might mean young Myolie had a crush in older Wayne.
I think Myolie’s fame and popularity will rise further if she’s able to collaborate with Tim gor And Wayne cuz Tim Gor is always known as one of the best director and is able to make 1 artist to win the best title.
100% agree with you lol and veejay
i can’t see myolie being able to portray all the emotions that sheren so effortlessly did in rosy business and no regrets..don’t think this is going to be any good, even if wayne is in it
that’s why this drama can’t be RB3:)
I thinking Rosy Business 3 going to be a love story film=)) oh but….I hope tvb will change the name cuz of the word “Rosy Business”, the drama will not match this word.
Wayne & Myolie, OK that’s fine but PLZ….CHANGE THE NAME TVB, it can not be RB3! I think Tim Gor going to kill
his son(Rosy Business)
Time will tell. Everyone is too judgmental, too premature atm to even know how it will turn out. I’m more focused on the script and plotline. However, I’m glad for all three, especially Edwin since all the male newcomers have had a lot of opportunities and now he has a wonderful opportunity to work with both Myolie and Wayne. And Myolie is a big upgrade from Aimee.
What does Aimee has to do with this? I thought LTS only stated Christine Kuo and JJ Jia as the ones he had in mind.
agree with purplepaw, all the emotions that Sheren showed in RB and NR it’s just awesome, can’t find any actress act as good as Sheren so far. is fair enough to give Myolie a chance hope she can do a great job in RB3, wish her luck :-)anyway still miss Sheren.
Those that says they will give it a miss, will have to eat their words eventually. I think it could be a breakout moves rather by not sticking to the same formula, as I think it is quite impossible to improve without stirring thinks up. Sheran not being there already got some of you tongue wagging… And with your comments, Tim Gor will know what area to strike at.
Another thing, age gap is no problem, there can compensate tha with the script and makeup. Acting will be a makeover for both the leads. I say, TV king and queen awaits this series. Cheers!
If the script is great, whoever the leads don’t matter much.
=))=))=))
Whoever Wayne acts with and whoever producer Lee chooses in his new dramas, I don’t care and I’m fine with it. Though I love Wayne-Sheren couple, I accept Tim Gor explanation for not including Sheren. But I have only 1 question when he said “There isn’t any core character, then we can’t name the series as Rosy Business anymore”; then Why it MUST BE ROSY BUSINESS III? Give me a reason! I supported Tim Gor for his RB series and even respected him so much. Now I doubt that he makes it RBIII because he loves it or as many said he just takes advantage of its fame? I feels to be hurt and betrayed. Try to calm myself but it’s so hard for me to see the new drama without bias.
What I think is Tim Gor never intended to call it RB3, sometime ago he said no he isn’t making RB3. However, every very single time Tim Gor is in the news, reporters will pester him about RB3. I think it’s the tvb execs who are taking advantage of RB’s success. Just look at how many sequels they plan to have.
Very stupid though. They should be promoting Tim Gor’s name instead then.
instead of shoving faux tvb queen down our throat, why don’t tvb use more experience and better veterans like kristal tin or elena kong….and when are we become this pathetic, of course christine and jj actings are nowhere near myolie, but that doesn’t mean tvb has to pick myolie out of all better actresses. bottom line is they should get one of those veterans like kristal, elena, joey, alice…though these veterans are older than myolie but at least they are better looking. if they want someone younger, why not pick nancy wu, acting wise way better.
In pictures, Myolie is better looking than Kristal but in series or clips, Kristal looks better. Myolie looks better in pictures than clips. Kristal has smooth supple skin.
ROFL. Calling Kristal a veteran is an insult to her, at the same time contradicting yourself when you say she is better looking. Kristal is only 2 years older than Myolie.
Acting and looks are subjective.
Kristal is a veteran. Not in terms of age but acting experience, much like Dakota Fanning is a veteran and she is very very young.
@nemesis: i don’t see myself being contradict at all, calling kristal a veteran is a compliment to her, like Funn Lim said, it more on her acting. and being older doesn’t mean you’re uglier and less attractive. there’re tons of older actresses out there that are alot better looking than the younger actresses.
@Funn lim: that exactly what i mean, thank you for your clarification.
people keep saying that we should give myolie a chance, but why not give that chance to more talented people, like nancy wu.
kk
I totally agree with you. TVB never promoted Nancy Wu (who is a biological daughter of TVB for over 8 years) or Elena Kong (actress on a per-series contract, I believe) despite their very good acting. These two artistes, one is young and one is mature, are much better than Myolie Wu in their acting skills. Moreover, Myolie is already a TV Queen, there is no need to promote her more. Why don’t they promote other artistes with good and solid acting skills?
It seems that TVB does not care if an artiste is talented or not in acting, all they need is someone who is very obedient and will do what TVB want him/her to do.
I think Nancy and Mandy Wong are better than Myolie. These two should be promoted to leads.
Nancy Wu’s promotion is long overdue. TVB never promoted her, poor Nancy, because TVB wanted to keep some good actresses to act their villainous characters.
In fact, Elena is a good match for Wayne, around the same age, pretty, and mature. Moreover, her acting is compatible with Wayne’s.
Cos Tim Gor asked for Myolie not Nancy, as simple as that. If Tim Gor asked for Nancy, of course we would give her that chance.
Btw, I have nothing against Nancy, she’s one of my favs.
hope to see new sparks between myolie and wayne.
they did not act against directly before right?
give them a chance.
but using Edwin Siu, really is promoting him ..
TVB is promoting Him Law, Oscar, Jason and Vincent a lot lately. Give Edwin chance too.
who says Edwin has no chances?
Edwin, Jason and Matt are the newly promoted siusangs from Tsang’s side while Him, Oscar, Vincent, Benjamin are from Leung’s side.
Edwin looks great for his age. And he can speak fluent Mandarin as well. Acting wise, tend to be rather OTT but it is usually the script that demands for it. I think he is getting more roles but if you expect 1st lead, a bit like jumping the gun.
Him Law has improved in his acting.
I’m sure Edwin is being promoted and I’m glad that he is. He’s in The Last Steep Ascent, The Confidant, Detective Columbo and now this series… all are anniversary series, I believe.
Am I the only one who feels “bored” of Sheren’s characters from part 1 & 2? I am glad Tim Gor admitted to being stuck with a storyline. I can’t imagine a third installment with Sheren playing the same character again. In both parts she was this strong, willful, intelligent and clever women. She somehow creates great diversions and plays everyone like a chess piece and everything goes smooth according to her plans. The same bluffing and poker faces every time she tries to pull something. Don’t get me wrong the acting is great and she gets two thumbs up but challenge the women or something since she got the BA twice!
As for Wayne I feel both his characters were different from each and he delivered his roles out very well. I am ecstatic to see what new character persona Wayne is going to off in RB3.
Myolie is different from Sheren in age and experience. I refuse to compare an apple to orange. It’s like saying wine made in 2012 doesn’t taste as good as wine made in 1912. Obviously Sheren had 20+ yrs to improve and set her own unique style of acting. I hope Myolie delivers this drama well.
The acting performances were fantastic but Tim Gor was definitely recycling tropes. Susan Tse basically played the exact same character in RB and NR.
Part of me wonders what NR would have been like if they’d done something closer to the sales presentation trailer. From the trailer it seemed like Sheren’s character was going to be darker.
Who says both leads have to end up a couple? Please cut out the romance and keep it platonic between the two. Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing how Myolie performs; hopefully Tim Gor will rein her in a bit and help her rediscover that spark she had earlier on in her career. And yay for Edwin!
Indeed, even though Sheren and Wayne were a pairing in RB1, there wasn’t much romance. It was like there, but it wasn’t there. I think that we should realise that a romance need not necessarily be a man and a woman meet each other, they are at loggerheads, then they end up liking each other. bla bla. 95% of all series are that way. I liked that RB was very different in it’s approach to romance.
I think Myolie is a very good choice. But Wayne & Myolie as couple….hmmm…. weird!Oh no….Dont know who’s Edwin????
Huh. Didn’t Lee Tim Shing deny filming RB3 just recently?
I’m sceptical about this news, because there have been too many rounds of rumour-mongering and false alarms over the mythical Rosy Business 3. I’ll believe it when/if it ever gets to the costuming and blessing ceremony stage.
It’s interesting to note that Tim Gor did mention Christine and JJ to be in the series and then he mentions and confirms Myolie as the lead actress. No mention of Sheren who said she had not been contacted for the role by anybody. What happened nobody knows but maybe, just maybe, Tim Gor is displeased with Sheren and by mentioning Christine and JJ and then confirming Myolie and praising her he wanted to show Sheren that nobody, even she, is indispensable.
Oh please, Tim Gor has already denied the rumours of Sheren being demanding and rude. He did not mention of Sheren because he wanted to use Wayne and Myolie right from the start. It was never the case of Sheren and Wayne in RB3, then Sheren offending people and she got replaced by Myolie.
No point of calling this series “Rosy Business 3” of there’s only one main cast left from the first 2 installments and there won’t be a “hero” it probably! They’re just making the “Rosy Business” look bad, this sequel will ruin everything! I rather just leave it and name it a different name! Rosy Business is done and it’s also unfair how Sheren did all the work for the first 2 series; made it so success and now for the 3rd one Myolie become the leading actress. Anyways she’ll just be compare to Sheren which is heaven and hell!
I agree with u! thumb up
