Raymond Lam, Kate Tsui, and Ella Koon at “Fight Crime” Costume Fitting
Raymond Lam (林峯), Elaine Ng (吳綺莉), Kate Tsui (徐子珊), and Ella Koon (官恩娜) appeared at the costume fitting for new TVB series, Fight Crime <雷霆掃毒>. Although Michael Miu (苗僑偉) was unable to attend the costume fitting yesterday, a cardboard figure of Michael was on display, resulting in a humorous effect!
It has been 6 years since Ella Koon has filmed a TVB drama. Taking extreme caution to avoid past rumored boyfriend, Ron Ng (吳卓羲), did Ella screen the cast list to avoid further cooperation with him? Evading the issue, Ella said, “My company will do the necessary selection. I am very happy to be able to work with Raymond Lam this time. When my female friends heard that I will be working with Raymond, they all screamed! I will fully enjoy my romance with Raymond for the next 3 months!” Revealing that she will harbor a secret crush on Raymond in Fight Crime, Ella noted that she will not have any kissing scenes with him.
Kate Tsui will not portray a police officer in Fight Crime, instead playing a pregnant “Drug Queen” treading in gray boundaries. Kate will be involved in a love triangle with Raymond Lam and Ella Koon. To prepare for her role, Kate indicated that she will need to learn how to play drinking games (猜枚) and speak trendy slang words.
Portraying a police officer for the first time, Raymond Lam revealed that he will go back to Xiamen to visit his family for Lunar New Year. After the holiday, Raymond will strengthen his physique. Raymond said confidently, “I have a lot of flesh on my body; it’s very easy to mold it into muscle!” Serving as a host for TVB8 in the past, Raymond had interviewed numerous celebrities, including Fight Crime costar, Elaine Ng. However, Elaine did not recall being interviewed by Raymond in the past.
Asked how TVB was able to persuade her to participate in Fight Crime, Elaine said that the 30 episode format will allow the full drama flavor to flourish. In addition, handsome costar, Michael Miu, also attracted her. Elaine revealed that she and Michael will portray a divorced couple, thus they will not have any kissing scenes.

Jayne: In the sales presentation clip, Kate shared a kiss with Michael Miu, who was apparently the drug lord. Perhaps they will keep the same plot in place. Kate’s role as a pregnant “Drug Queen” looks quite interesting.
Perhaps Raymond Lam will have some showering scenes at the police station, thus the need to flex his muscles to good use?
so long did not see ella d..i love her..she is pretty..i want her to be with raymond but if im nt wrong raymond will be with kate..i dun like kate..
I like both Ella and Kate. They are both really pretty and act good. I thought Ella was tall, why does she look so short standing beside Ray?
Raymond’s pretty tall himself.
I thought roger was going to be in this?
He was in the Sales Presentation but we all know that the Sales Presentation doesn’t mean it is confirmed that those are the people that would be in it.
sales presentation are unconfirmed
Looking forward to watching Raymond as a cop; something new for him. Heard that he has an abnormal personality too as he likes to do things his own way.. makes me very curious about it. He also portrays a very cute and innocent looking cop (which i think would turn out good if there is a twist at the middle that portrays him as someone evil because his innocence tricked us all .. just a random thought). I would prefer if he liked Ella because that would be really fresh and new but liking Kate might be something fun to watch as well since they are from different worlds. He is the one who is supposed to stop people like her but since he is in love with her, i wonder if he’ll be a blinded by love cop or not. Kate’s role sounds interesting as there seems to be a lot of layers to develop and will be a breakthrough if she does it well. Ella’s character doesn’t really sound like anything big at the moment but i’m sure she’ll be having a few action scenes so looking forward to that as well.
@Jayne: I do hope Raymond will shower at the police station due to your stated reason. 😉
Simplitee,
Btw, maybe Raymond Lam and Kate Tsui will steam up the screen in kissing scenes?
If Ella and Elaine Ng allegedly have no kissing scenes, then the burden will fall on Kate and Raymond.
Maybe Raymond will overtake Bosco in being Kate’s best kissing partner. 🙂
I don’t wanna see him w/ Kate b/c her character gives off a cheap vibe. I’m tired of her bad girl roles.
I hope they change the story for him to choose good girl ella instead. She’s cute and bubbly.
And Jayne, about the gratuitous shower scene. From your lips to the producer’s ears, I hope. I still remember that scene f/ Lafemme desperado.
@Jayne: Would prefer Raymond and Ella to share some passionate scenes but since there’s no mention of one yet then i wouldn’t mind seeing some intimacy between Raymond and Kate. I have a feeling one will somehow seduce the other.. 😉
I bet there will be bed scenes and intense kissing scenes between LF and haggard looking Kate. Kate still kiss intensely even when she plays a cop ROFL.
Elaine Ng can’t act
Oh yeah Ray did do a shower scene in La Femme Desperado. I only rmb the one from his concert. He did a shower scene for a clip that was played at his come to me concert. Are girls really that crazy about Ray? I would not want to watch him shower (naked).
Kiss both! It’s wat I expected :P.
@Vivien: Elaine Ng can act :P.
ROFL agreed. LF look cute and agreed too his character seems interesting.
but Kate look old than usual here and made her look older than LF!
Isn’t it a problem that he looks cute to you when portraying a cop?!!
@Advo: Cute guys can’t be cops?! His character might look cute but maybe he isn’t cute at all as he has an abnormal and sloppy personality..
@Vivien – Kate and Raymond are the same age. In fact, Kate is a few months older than him.
@advo
What? Looking cute can’t be a cop now? Poor cute guys out there. Like what @simplitee said he might look cute but his behaviour might not be cute since it’s said his character personality is sloppy and abnormal
@Addy
LOL I know but in this costume fitting Kate looks years older than LF and Ella Koon
Ok from the news it said LF is a Senior CIB officer that will do things in his own way and has a nor normal personality.
Senior Cops are supposed to be intimidating and inspire a certain level of respect, which is why “cute” is a bad first impression.
But whatever. I’m sure this show will crap too, so this will be the least of their problems.
I think Raymond looks more convincing than fala as senior cop. That was completely bad.
“(which i think would turn out good if there is a twist at the middle that portrays him as someone evil because his innocence tricked us all .. just a random thought)”
Er… I don’t think so. If anything, that sounds more like Ben Wong’s role. In the drama, Ben is Raymond’s rival. He mentioned a twist will happen to him in the end – most likely he’ll turn evil.
This sounds like his character in LOO that is a cop turn evil ROFL
I wanna see Raymond full on nude.
Keep dreaming sister!… or brother!
Oh, yummy.
You only get to see LF in nudity if only you’ve 36C size Boobs and above..if you’re flat chested..then slim Chance!
Good, cause I don’t wanna see him naked.
Just 36C? His old gf PSS is 36F! And dun forget that he has one of longest rumour (which is partly true) with a 33C only – Linda Chung.
LF still has time to train his muscles so that he can show his abs and muscles in the series!
love triangle between ella, raymond, and kate? i thought kate had a thing with michael! ..well at least according to the sales presentation. (although michael/kate pairing sounds kinda weird too xD) hmm, two dramas starring sam gor in one year?! i’m happy 🙂
ROFL you should be aware that the storyline in sales presentation always get changed by real filming
I hope this series turns out good because I like the cast and what they presented in the sales presentation. I’ve only watched Elaine in Legal Entanglement and wasn’t really impressed with her acting though.
“It has been 6 years since Ella Koon has filmed a TVB drama. “
I just saw her in ‘Super Snoops’ a few month ago. So, this is not true.
maybe they mean in a main role, lost in translation? lol
Oh I just remembered that Survivor’s law was not that long ago…
Survivors law aired in 2008, maybe it’s been six years since she filmed it?
Kate looks really old in the above picture. I don’t know about her character being pregnant? In reality would a cop fall in love with a pregnant drug queen???
agreed she look old in this series
TVB is trying too hard to make Kate Tsui win Best Actress
Yeah hope she wins la! And LF wins with his custom fixed series “Chok” will make him TV king as well, hehe
Too bad your Ruco is the one in this Chok custom fixed series produced by Amy Wong, LOL
The destroyer of the city must be out of its mind. “The Chok Family” will make LF into TV king for sure since the HK public love “chok” so much, LOL.
I tink Kate deserves to win it soon. I didn’t like her at first to be honest but I started watching a few series she was in and I can see her develop a lot. 🙂
LF should do more of these professional characters. He looks better in professional characters than in stupid brats
Agree. He’s charming in formal/professional looks.
DIsagree. He was horrible as a professor in MOL.
Horrible as in character or looks? I was talking about looks. He didn’t look that bad in MOL (i kinda like it when he wore the white lab coat) but his hair was terrible. Also in HOG, when he wore the lawyer suit, he looked quite good too.
The horrible thing is his hair and the script by lau ka hor
Horrible acting and ugly shitty clothes. And the script was one of the worst things to come out of tvb for a while which says a lot considering their level of quality these day. Oh yeah, his hair was fugly too. in his defence, everything in that horrible show stank. Even Mary was awful and she’s a veteran.
Since he’s now only filming one show a year, I had hoped it would result inhuman picking projects of higher quality. But with this cast, it looks more and more unlikely.
This might be a double post if my previos comment gets posted.

Maybe Raymond picked this series because he likes the role and it’s a new challenge for him and it sounds promising. Besides a uniformed officer who ‘uses his own way’ is not a typical goody goody rule abiding officer.
@Advo: So who do you think that should be put in to fulfill your requirement of a good cast? Myolie? TY? Charmaine? Linda? All the time?
Dun forget that TVB nowaday dun have much actress. I think the cast of this series is quite fresh and actually good, even with the supporting cast. No need to add anyone else in or it will become old like usual. Since this one isn’t some blah blah grand series, please don’t make it becomes one of these blah blah grand series as I’m TRULY tired of TVB’s so-called grand series.
I have this wish to have Myolie as a cop. WOIL2 doesn’t count since it’s only for 2 episodes and it’s a comedy. She had enough time being a lawyer, let’s watch cop Myolie kicking ass.
Kate’s role looks very promising and Im looking forward to it <3
620 love Kate
Pros:
Raymond’s face look good again. Did TVB finally allow him to get some rest?
Cons:
Raymond replacing Roger/and Kevin two maturer looking guys. Raymond looks way too young and “innocent” for being a senior cop. I’m tired of TVB casting people who don’t bring enough gravitas to fulfill their roles like Raymond in MOL (his attempt probably put half the audience, the not FungYi fansgirls!!! to sleep) Kate and Fala in LOO just to mention some recent examples.
Since they cannot change the actors (because TVB can’t be bothered to use veterans or people who haven’t signed their lives over) then how hard can it be to write scripts that suit their actors?
Other cons:
Ella and Kate.
Kate and Fala can’t act even if their life depend on it. LF can act.
Ella so so
Well, talent is in the eye of the beholder. You may think that way, but others will think differently…
Prefer Kate to Ella. Ella’s dictation is terrible! I didnt watch Survivor law 2, because her dictation sucked.
He had around 2 months of rest where he only had to attend functions and ceremonies. This is what happens when he has sufficient rest. Watch him slim down and look all haggard in no time as the year progresses again ..
looking forward to seeing Raymond in this new chracter.
unm,i think it’s more suitable to Ray with Ella instead Kate b/c she look older and more suitable with Michael Miu
Agreed. If Kate look like this old she’s more suitable to be pair with Michael Miu but too bad 620 want Kate to pair with LF to promote her
It’s good for LF to do a transaction role rather than stereotype role as typical’s rich man’s son or prince charming. Eventhough MWS did not command high rating, but he received good critics from media for outstanding role playing devil and playing prodigal son from rich to rags in flower sister.This happens to kevin cheng’s law ba for his breakthrough.
Good to see LF has sufficient rest .BTW, he does not look young but indeed look very fresh.2012 will be a fruitful year for him.Keep up the good work.
UH…slimming down? Very unlikely. Ray said himself infront of his fans when his fan told him to diet, that he eats lots. So basically he’s saying that he’s not even going to diet.
Roger with Ella and Kate will make ppl think of Uncle-Young girl relationship?
Why only mature guys can act cops? Lol, then Ron should be a very miscast as he acts cops countless time :P. The role isn’t a senior cop but only the cop officer.
I’m not FungYi fangirls and I didn’t sleep :P. His round butt and the awesome tight clothes kept me awake, haha.
If we follow advo’s way cops will only consist of old mature face people ROFL LOL. Poor the cute looking cops. US and Korea dramas also got cute cops around
Maturer looking guys can only play SENIOR cop roles. Ray is portraying a superior of some intelligence bureau whatever acronym. Ron has never portrayed that. In the Academy he started in the…. You guessed it, the academy first. This is exactly the same as Fala portraying a superior – even over Michael Tse! It looks ridiculous.
Never a fan of Ella and Kate casting either – however, Kate looks more mature and she had good chemistry with Roger in WAW. Ella definitely looks to cutesy, and she should not be paired up w older guys. But I’m more concerned about her acting.
@ Vivien
Yes, my suggestion is to cast people based on looks/age/skills. What a novel idea. That people have different looks that are suitable for different roles. Let’s just have one guy portray all male roles from 20-65 from now on. Much cheaper for TVB, I’m sure.
Not really a matter of the superior as superior can be younger than the lower ranked police. It happens that the superior police are normally someone with higher educated than the normal police and some of them get high ranked position when they are young (25-30) while some normal police stay with their job forever if they can’t pass the exam. That’s why I dun find it’s a matter.
So do you see Kenneth Ma acts superior police in most of his cop series :P? And Frankie Lam acts one many years ago.
If you watch The Academy, you can see that the police trainning start right after high school graduation, means 18 years old. So someone can get the superior position sooner.
In this one, this character Wai Shi Lok is only the chief of a group in a department, so not that hard to believe. The chac’s age seems to be 30-35, which is easier to believe.
And KC’s face never can make me think of a smart police :P.
To make Roger is 30-40 is even harder to believe to me. Frankly, I don’t buy his chemistry with Kate in WAW 😛 so I don’t really support them again.
For the age, TVB is even more magic. I’m referring to Brick of Law where Steven Ma acts 15 years old in a scene. 15 years old, can you believe? But it still happens, lol.
Some of the higher ranked police officers are university graduates, this means they get high position jobs a lot easier after they graduate. Since Rays character is more on the research and finding part of the drug squad thing, most likely he didn’t start from the bottom, but got an “office job” early in his career.
Honestly, if all cops had to start from scratch in order to move up to become inspector, superintendent, and higher, then that will take forever to never. Sometimes you need younger, more educated superiors to lead your crew. Raymond Lam’s role in Drug Raid seems to fall under this category. He seems to be head of the 情報組 (Intelligence Team) – you don’t need much on-the-field experience for that. On the other hand, Ben Wong is head of the 行動組 (Action/Hit Team) – you obviously need field experience to be the head of such a team.
Yah I heard the real police team also recruited young fresh grads to be inspector straight away and they move up the ranks young.
Those who start from scratch as constables are normally with less education
In Grey Metal Gun, Vincent’s chac changed from business to cops and get high ranked position (only under Micheal) in the first day of being cop. It is the best example for the system.
I never found Raymond Lam good looking. I liked him a lot back in the day, when he used to do interesting roles. He has a really nice voice too, but it was never for his looks. Hopefully this drama will make him relevant (to me) again…
it’s up to you.I think he socute and really friendly.With me,he is form an ideal man For MANY MANY girds,sometimes boys.
best wishes for him!support him !
Glad to see Ella here… I wish TVB would use her more often.
ALL THE BEST TO RAYMOND LAM
ok? I could careless about the casts, already from seeing this I know it is gonna be wack
The cast is actually quite good and big.
The cast is different, Ray and Kate have on been paired up once? Quite refreshing in my opinion. Good for Ella to be back too 🙂 but I wish they didn’t have such complicated romantic storylines!!!
Yes, they were lovers in The Four (same producer) but they didn’t end up together, so i still consider this couple quite fresh. But again, prefer Ray and Ella.
i used to like him, but he’s everywhere now, so not interested anymore.
It’s not his fault .It’s is tvb and eeg ‘s fault.As we all know, LF is the golden egg for this two company. LF has indeed help them make enormous profits for attending functions/opening ceremonies, becoming spokeman/ambassador for international products, world tour and movies,etc . This is part of the trade and marketing transition. The more popular you are, the more busier you are.Part of HK ‘s famous artist’chronicles.
Surprisingly, Kate is not playing a cop role in this series. A change of heart, TVB?
____________________________________________
Say no to SOPA, PIPA!
Just noticed that it said that Ella has been absent from TVB for 6 years… not entirely true – she was in Super Snoops just recently 🙂 And she’s always made guest appearances on variety shows.
I think she meant leading role in action series.
This series actually is quite big and has quite a big ensemble of cast. Michael Miu, Raymond, Kate, Ben Wong, MC Jin are all in TVB active list and Ella seems quite well accepted in HK too. I’m not sure about Elaine Ng since I only know her more for her scandal with Jackie Chan.
Was MC Jin at the costume fitting? Didn’t see any of this picture! But isn’t he filming that movie in the states?
Looking forward for this series as Ah Fung will be a police officer for the first time.
Really?? I thought he was already a police officer in some other series already? I guess my lack of interest in modern series doesn’t allow me to know that…
Was act as a cameo in ICAC2000 for 4-5 mins, so it wasn’t counted.
Was looking forward to this show then i saw Kate in this show. Arghhh. Why she gets all the good show/ good actor partner?
Looking forward to this show. POLICE OFFIcer for the first time, raymond, nice. Um. not sure about Kate being pregnant. Lol. But ah. I looked at the trailer and it was awesome. But somehow trailer had Ron in it, instead.
Trailer dun have Ron.
Trailer only had Michael, Roger and Kevin. You must have mistaken one of them for Ron.
Yay! I think I liked the sales presentation more… The cast is nice glad Kate and Michael are still in the actual series. Miss Kevin and Roger. Those two looked ABSOLUTLY promising in this series 🙂 But then again not in the actual series -_- . Ella and Raymond, quite nice. Can’t believe Raymond says it’s his first time as a cop. Haha can’t wait to witness his ‘chokness’. Kate, yay pretty/ cute girl is back. I think she can do quite well and her script looks promising. Drug queen… Makes me giggle. Good luck all
