Lawrence Ng Considers Casting Kate Tsui in Self-Produced Drama

Currently in the midst of wrapping up the production for TVB prison drama Battle of Tomorrow <再戰明天>, lead star Lawrence Ng (吳啟華) announced that he will open his own production studio soon after his obligations for the TVB drama are complete. He revealed, “I really want to film something good and presentable. I will hold a meeting with scriptwriters to talk about the script. My first drama will be about traditional Chinese medicine.” Asked if Lawrence plans to star in his own production, he said he will it if the role is suitable for him. “If not, I’ll just stay on board as a producer.”

Yesterday, Lawrence and Kate Tsui (徐子珊) went to Ocean Park to shoot several amusement park scenes for Battle of Tomorrow. In one particular sequence, the onscreen couple was riding a merry-go-round that sparked Kate’s memories of her troubled childhood. Trembling with fear, Kate fainted into Lawrence’s arms.

Enjoying his collaboration with Kate, Lawrence expressed that he will consider casting Kate as the female lead in his upcoming drama. “She’s very good, very professional.”

Upon hearing Lawrence’s praises, Kate said, “That would be awesome! I hope Lawrence can help me earn more money! Although [Battle of Tomorrow] is not done filming yet, I am already starting to miss the cast and crew. I hope we can continue to work together in the future.”

Lawrence Ng Ignores His Wife

March 14 was White Day, but the married Lawrence said he did not do anything with his wife on the special day for couples. “My wife is currently in Beijing. We never really celebrate anything together anyway. On Valentine’s Day, I had to work.” Was he unafraid of angering his wife? Lawrence laughed, “Don’t care!”

He added that the last time he has seen his wife was during Lunar New Year, “My wife loves Beijing. She won’t come back to [Hong Kong].” Did Lawrence warn her about Beijing’s severe air pollution? “She can handle it. I did mention it to her, but she said all her friends are in Beijing. I don’t think I will visit her anytime soon. I have work. Besides, I rarely go to Beijing. If she misses me she’ll visit me.”

On the other hand Kate, who is single, boldly admitted that she has some pursuers. “As friends, we will occasionally meet each other for a meal with others. I don’t have time [to date] though,” Kate said, chuckling. “It’s poor timing. My schedule does not allow it. I’m currently busy filming and I have no time to date. Maybe I can find the time to do so after production wraps up.”
