曾志偉稱支持奧運不怕恐襲

長壽遊戲節目《獎門人》，將再推出新一輯《鐵甲無敵獎門人》節目，共二十六集。今次無線會與馬來西亞Astro電視台合作，稍後將移師大馬拍攝四集。昨晚在港先錄影第一集，昨日無線於電視城舉行記者會，出席嘉賓有「獎門人」曾志偉及三位長老王祖藍、阮兆祥、錢嘉樂及大馬女藝員丘涴鋌、鄭婧婷及王翎蓓。

會上，志偉向三位大馬靚女送上香港的傳統禮餅做手信，又向她們送上「遊戲秘笈」。而三位大馬靚女也送上榴槤糕給志偉等人。志偉甚有艷福，即場被三位靚女餵食榴槤糕，但不吃榴槤的他，吃了一口便忍不住衝出去吐出來。

《獎門人》接八宗投訴

志偉表示，今次帶了日本電視台的其中一個遊戲回來，遲些去大馬拍攝時又有機會了解其他國家的遊戲節目，他希望可以去多些不同地方。而前晚無線播出第一集《獎門人取犀game》，平均收視二十九點，最高三十點，比以住相同時段節目收視高出六點，成績理想。但同時無線亦接獲八宗投訴，指有部分節目內容兒童不宜，也有少少虐待成份。

志偉覺得收視已算不錯，他知道很多人期待新的《獎門人》節目。至於被指有虐待成份，志偉相信是指王祖藍被打腳板的懲罰。他說那是台灣遊戲節目的規則，他們是去參加人家的遊戲節目，那個遊戲沒有帶返香港。談及懲罰還有拔鼻毛，志偉表示懲罰是每次不同的。

湯唯被封殺表同情

最近湯唯被內地全面封殺，要暫停所有宣傳，連廣告也被撤下，有傳因為湯唯演的《色戒》有「宣揚漢奸」之嫌。志偉聞言說：「真係慘。」他覺得作為演員接戲前不會想那麼多，相信這次是意外，作為藝人也很無奈，相信因為對方是內地演員，他要再了解一下有關條例。湯唯有份角逐「亞洲電影大賞」中的「最佳女主角」，志偉覺得是兩件事，相信不會有影響，金雞百花獎受影響可能性大些。他說，每個地方都有不同制度。

昨日有報道指有「疆獨」分子疑在飛機上策動劫機事件，目的是破壞北京奧運，並在飛機上拘捕兩嫌疑人士。志偉表示，不擔心內地會發生恐怖襲擊，以前芭堤雅及印尼有事，他都照去。他覺得作為中國人更應支持奧運。他相信中國政府絕對有能力防範恐怖襲擊。稍後他會赴北京出席奧運倒數活動。

Hins Cheung Supports an Independent Tibet?; Wears Orange to Welcome Olympics

The Olympic flame was relayed in Hong Kong yesterday. For the past couple of days, a lot of Hong Kong singers and artistes have busily attended functions to promote the Olympics; such as singing songs together. But mainland Chinese singer Hins Cheung has worn the wrong colour clothing. He chose to wear an orange colour which is politically sensitive. Yesterday, Hins was in Macau and attended the “中 銀 100 日 迎 奧 運 Super Show”. Hacken Lee, Denise Ho, Kenny Bee, Fama, Ivana Wang and others also attended the show. They wore black, white, red, purple coloured clothing but it was not as eye catching as Hins’ orange jacket. Jens Galschiot started the “Orange Operation”. The colour orange represented democracy, Tibet and Myanmar monks. It also represented revolution. One person shouted that by wearing orange clothing, they are paying attention to human rights. Yesterday, Hins wore his long sleeved orange sweater at the Olympic welcoming function. People suspected that he was supporting a free and independent Tibet! People glanced at him from the sides.

Hins accepted an interview after going on stage to sing while wearing his orange jacket. Hins said that he didn’t notice anything was wrong when he arrived at the location and wearing his orange jacket His colleagues from the label were aware of the situation and afraid that he would be lumped together in the free Tibet issue if Hins continued to wear the orange sweater. Hins finally figured out that he was wearing the wrong clothes. Hins explained: “Lately, I have been unwell. I have a rash on my arm and I didn’t want to take off the jacket to expose the rash. In the end, I chose to continue to wear it.”

Hins stressed his clothing colour choice had no special meaning. He wants to set an example of what not to wear and warn other singers to be careful of these issues during the Olympics. He also made known that he had a bout of depression after his concert finished. The depression lasted two weeks and compounded by his weak health; he thought he wasn’t going to live! Hins said: “My mom took me back to Guangzhou to see a Chinese doctor. I found out I had a weak kidney and cold stomach. The doctor prescribed herbal medication to boost and nourish my body.”

In the past, Denise and Juno Mak were rumoured to be together. But they lacked a tacit understanding. They kept a distance between each other when they were playing games. Afterwawrds, Denise expressed that she wasn’t embarrassed and hoped the rumours were put to a rest. She revealed that she was the godmother of her male assistant. Denise said: “I am of high quality and intelligent. Best for “breeding”. You can’t control who you get married to but you can control childbirth.”

Chun Wong Recovers and Goes back to Work

Earlier Chun Wong accidentally fell into the sea and had to be hospitalized for 3 weeks. Yesterday he finally fully recovered and is back to work, filming for new series "Tiger Wong Snatches a Bride" 《王老虎搶親》. The entire cast and production crew were very happy for him that he recovered. TVB Executive Virigina Lok, TVB Drama Production Director Leung Ka Sue, Producer Poon Ka Dak and the cast members: Chin Ka Lok, Nancy Wu, and etc. all gave him fruit baskets and get well cards.

Virigina smiled at Chun Wong and said: "Fatty, You scared me!" Chun Wong said that he is fine and that he will continue to work hard. He secretly laughed and said that next time he'll have to take everyone on a one-day vacation to Cheung Chau. Chun Wong laughed and said: "No problem." He said right now he is okay, does not need to go back for a check up and also did not have any paranoia (psychological effect). But, he feels that this time he was very fortunate, currently he does not dare to drink too much, only would have a tiny bit of Red Wine. Will Chun Wong consider going on a diet? He said that he lost 3 or 4 pounds, it's still considered healthy, but not a handsome guy.

Kevin Cheng: "Feels like losing Two Brothers"; "Burning Flames III" cast expresses thoughts of fire accident

Yesterday a building in Nathan Road, Golden Harvest had a level 5 fire accident, the citizens of Hong Kong lost two firemen heroes, TVB's new series "Burning Flames III" entire production crew are accurately aware of this, male lead Kevin Cheng said: "Feels like losing 2 brothers."

Since the first serial of "Burning Flames" up until now, they have had exactly 10 years of experience. It's unexpected that when shooting "Burning Flames III", a level 5 fire accident occurred in Golden Harvest Building, hard to blame that the production crew were in such a sad mood. Producer Wong Sam Wai accepted a phone interview yesterday and said: "in the script of this series, there are two unfortunate cases as well, one is with a pregnant woman stuck in a fire and another one I've filmed involved a fire that occurred in a karaoke. At the time, I never thought that such incident from a drama would happen in real life! I called the fire department, and represented the entire cast and crew in sending our regards to the victims' family members. If it is necessary, I will always be available to help out." Also hope that when "Burning III" releases, the series could help the public raise awareness of fire saftey.

The male lead of the series Wong He revealed that he intended to visit the scene and bow to the two firemen heroes: "But I was afraid that I may have overacted, so in the end I followed the Buddha style, heart of condolence to the two firemen who died. (When shooting the fire scenes, will be more careful?) I have always put safety first when filming dangerous scenes, definitely need to be careful!"

Kevin Cheng feels as if he lost 2 Brothers
Kevin expressed his painful feeling, especially watching two firemen losing their life on duty, the man who was sitting on the roof crying was the most touching. He feels that this time losing two firemen heroes, "it's like losing two brothers". As for Bosco Wong who is also part of the cast, he paid a tribute to the two firemen heroes.

Michelle Yim told reporter "I have been very anxious the past few days. We don't really want this to happen. That is nothing we can do, just hope we all pull through this difficult time. I hope people who are made redundent don't lose heart because they are professional. The company will soon hire people. They just need to be patient. The company don't have enough people to do all the work. I am not sure if any of my friends have lost their jobs yet. We have to hang on for a bit longer. I am sure we will pull through. I still have another year before my contract expires. It may not be a bad thing I don't get a pay rise in my new contract , at least I still hold on to my job. Even I have to take pay cut, I don't mind at all. I have been working for so many years and I don't see earning money is the first priority. I like a good script. My family and friends are business people. If everybody doesn't compromise, the company will fold. TVB is cutting staff, the bosses have their difficulties and so are the employees."

Kenix Kwok xpressed that "Making people redundent is the company's strategy that they can't control. I know some people have already lost their jobs. In fact, every department has job lost. I work with some of them for many years. I hope they will be re-employed again when the company has sorted itself out. Some peopls protested that the company is earning money but still cutting job. Maybe it is part of the company's strategy, have to ask the financial consultant to answer that."

Bosco said "I just came back from from Toronto. I didn't know anything about the company is making people redundant. I don't know if any of the people I know have lost their jobs or having their pay freezed. As a matter of fact, I was freezing in Toronto. I had my contract renewed a few years ago. I still have a long time before it expires. I don't think the company like to cut jobs, just hope the recession gets settled soonl, so that we can all get back to our normal life."

Linda Chung said "I worked with the hairdressers and the makeup artists since starting of "Virtues of Harmony" 皆大歡喜. Now they are made redundent. I really feel for them. I don't know about the company's policy. I just hope the recession would finish quickly. I don't know if the company is earning money or not, I had my contract renewed earlier on. I did have a very little pay rise."
