Which actor in TVB is the fastest being promote?
you can say anyone u think fastest being promote from old generation or young generation.
I wondering tony leung for old generation and maybe steven ma or for young generation?
.sugarhearts
I think for Steven Ma it's average. I'm not sure for the older generation but for the younger I think it's Myolie Wu and Linda Chung. Myolie, I've seen her and Ron in a couple of series airing right now. Some of them are 06 series but that's my opinion. Most people agree that Linda is everywhere! Some people think TVB has over-promoted her and are getting sick of her. unsure.gif
ZippelinScar
it is for actor or actress? i saw the title is for actor?

Anyways, i will say

actor: either raymond lam or bosco

actress: duno any but linda i guess

Actor: Raymond Lam
Actress: Linda Chung


Ray struggle for ten long years before he was being promoted!! You called that fast???? He joined somewhere in 1999. I even see Ray in cameo role. He worked very hard to achieved today status. I think Moses was promoted even faster than him. He joinned TVB in 2000 to film HH2 and right after that you can see him in many series eventhough he did not play the lead but the least is second lead.

Actor: none

Actress: Fala & Linda. (pretty girls always have moe chances)
R33ve
I really CANT STAND THIS!

I even saw moses acted triad and extras too!!


Raymond lam entered TVB in 1998 sept. In 1999, he take part to become tvb8 host and filmed a Taste of love and sang a song with Mirrium Yeung. 2000, He got a grand production called A Step Into the Past. It aired in 2000 and finishes airing in 2001 if I'm not wrong. So what do you want?

Moses? faster? second lead? After ASITP ray became lead and beat joe ma which is senior for him and he never act supporting role anymore and only will take lead if film with young generation and as second lead with older generation.

In fact i dont think he acted supporting role except Golden Faith because that series has too many of older generation. A Step into the Past is second lead too.

Ten years long? Are u kidding me? If ten years long. moses took 20 years!
HeavenlyStrike
I think i wrote the title cleary enough?
WHICH ACTOR IN TVB IS THE FASTEST BEING PROMOTE?
But just do as you wish. I've no comment.

I think nobody bother to discuss older generation anymore...

Art&Design
I think Raymond Lam is the one... He was not really popular, but when someone or people start spreading that he's quite popular in the mainland, then other people are looking for him (just to be curious). Now, he's one of the top stars due to rumor...

This doesn't apply to Ron Ng. This one was more popular than Raymond in that time, but no promotion has been made for him, so his rank is dropping...

Fala did lot of roles which steals someone's husband. Moses did extras too. About raymond I often read magazines he is the fastest being promote for young generation. I quite like him too back then when i watched his series, Survivor's Law. My friend likes him too and I often cut articles from the magazine for her. Therefore, I wanted to know it is raymond fastest being promote? Well, i dont know. Sumbody said out bosco. So what do you think of bosco and raymond?

Dear, I don't know why you are so angry. We are talking abt in TVB. Don't you like your idol work hard to achieve his status today? Unless you like him stucking to TVb executives to gain popularity? Are you looking for a fight? I think I am not interested in fighting with you. Can't you just talk nicely like Litto Fox?

Oic..i heard before ron was more famous than him but raymond's fanbase is majority from mainland last time...i watched a clip he said that too because he often films ancient series last time so his series keep airing in china so that's why. I heard he borned in china and he is very rich, my friend said that. My friend said his dad is very popular too in china too. So i think that's his story.

Okey now added ron. Yea, give more opinion.

Don't you see he took part to become host too? Do you know what is fastest? Fastest doesnt mean you polish TVB's executives shoes. Mr A took 20 years Mr B took 10 years. So Mr. B is fastest.

I'm asking you back. Do you like your moses struggling for ten years and acted not important roles for so many years to prove he didnt polish TVB's executives shoes? I bet not? Many moses's fans has complained that he didn't even nominated for best actor category although he nominated for supporting role.

xiao xian,

For your information, R33ve is well known for being rude. Just ignore her post but I have to admit Litto Fox is one very nice Ray's fan. I don;t know if Ray was promoted fast or slow since I am not his fan but he started filming quite sometime ago. This year TVB promote him heavily and I think it is about time he get some recognition.

R33v3
P/s Pls try to understand what people are trying to say before start attacking. I know you are a Moses's hater but at least be nice to someone who never attack you. You can always attack me since I am always against you.

Actually Ron was promoted after Raymond but stronger in the period of 2004 and 2005. Raymond got the 1st leading role in his 3rd series as Wong Fu Siu Wah in Eternal Happiness. Fung was born in Xiamen and his dad is Xiamen's Lee Ka Shing, a great landlord. His grandpa is a general and also a famous person in Xiamen. His family is wealthy and famous in Xiamen, where his dad's company is in. By the way, the career of Fung is set up in Hongkong, not in Xiamen.

Fung has fans from his 1st aired series A step into the past (His 1st series is A taste of love but it aired after A step into the past) and praise for his villain role in this series. In 2002 and 2003, his couple wit Michelle Ye is welcomed by the audience in HK. His fansite Fung's Label (HK site) was strong at this moment. By the way, during 2003-2005 period, TVB started promotion Ron Ng stronger than Raymond, by giving Ron an EP and leading roles. However, at this moment, Raymond still has leading roles. But due to his disease after Stolen love, each year he only film 1-2 series. Fung is more welcomed by the mainland ppl but in HK, he still has large fanbase. His fanbase got larger and have more teenages after LFD, but before that, Raymond is quite famous.

In mainland, TVB series airs frequently. Many ppl in mainland enjoy TVB series than mainland small budget series, therefore TVB artists often have more fans in mainland than in HK.

Ron joined TVB in 1998 but in dancing class. After that, Louis Koo introduced him with TVB and so did Raymond. Ron has some cameos and minor roles in some series during 2000 to 2003 such as Lofty Water Verdant Bow, Golden Faith, etc, then have a big role in Triumph in the skies. This role gave him fans as well as promotion from TVB.

Ron is heavily promoted but after the failure of his album and many criticism about his acting (poor him), TVB stopped promoting him and changed to Bosco Wong after the succeed of War of in-law.

If count years, Ron isn't the fastest being promoted one. Actually, actors in TVB always have cameos and supporting roles before having bigger roles. Different to them, MCI or MHK often got faster promotion. Such as Michelle Ye in God of Honnor, Sonija Kwok in A step into the past, Charmaine Sheh, Shirley Yeung and now we have Linda Chung, Fala Chen.

Thanks for enlighten us. What I am trying to say is that TVB didn't promote Ray heavily until recently. He gain his large fan base from his own hard work. I really don't know what's wrong with R33ve. She scare the life out of me. If TVB had promote him heavily he would have win the best actor long time ago. He did so well in LFD and DOL.
♥ Naive Fox ♥
I rmb that Fung said a quote: "The faster famous, the faster fade. Only the one who work hard can stay long". I like that quote. Heavily and fast promoted, but if dun work hard, will lose the fame soon.

Did Ray really say that? That's so sweet. He never depend on his family and eventhough his aunt is the director of TVB but he never use this special relationship to gain favour. That's make me love him more. Have you watch The Four? I heard the the ep rating is 31. This is good news for Ray because his ancient series seldom has such high rating. I am so happy for him. I only watch the preview of The Four. His story is very touching. I like the scene where Lam Ka Wah carrying baby Mo Ching. He was badly injured at that time.The child look so helpless. I am waiting for the DVD which will come this Friday. Can't hardly wait. Quite difficult to get DVD version at my place because I don't live any where near Chinatown. In Flemantle. there are only one video centre near my house.


Peace to the world... elainelhk & R33ve, Pls don't fight because of me. I don't wish to be in the middle of this arguement. My intention here is to get to know more Ray & Moses fans. I am tired of all this fighting. I hope one day Ray and Mo fans can really be friend. I know now the situation is fire with water. Anywhere, thanks,elainelhk for your advice.

He said tat in a mag, but i dun rmb wat mag. I'm watching The Four and I like this series. Actually, except LWOLAP and Taichi, his ancient series such as ASITP, EH, LWVB, BH and TOB had good rating.

We r kinda off topic. Back to the topic.

Actors in TVB must have cameos or small roles before becoming famous, but actresses, especially MCI, dun need. Their 1st roles often supporting wit many lines and screen time.

Yeah, we have drag too far away. Got carried away when talking abt Ray.
foreverleila
I think for the actors, Raymond is the one that is being promoted the fastest. He has been in numerous series ever since he has entered the industry. No matter if he's has a small role, supporting role, or main led, he has been in numerous series. Also, whenever he is a lead in the series, he has to sing either the themesong or the subsong for the series. Recently, he has released two albums already and the sales for the albums are good as well.
HeavenlyStrike
I'm happy and appreciate that you all giving comment but could you please dont keep saying raymond all the times? I just want to know who is the fastest for your thought and not digging raymond's stories or TVB system. I dont really fancy to their series but their male artistes.

My comment:
Actually i dont get how people keep mentioning actress but actor is written there. I'm not being rude or not welcome you all but just feel a bit...funny. I'm not interested for any actress because I'm a girl and i strongly dislike Linda and i'm pretty sure this topic will linked to her if i wrote actress as well.

Before you blamed someone you should realize why people hate moses so much like me. It is because of you. Moses's fans! Even r33ve is rude but i dont think he is as rude as you. I recognized you. Keep "dan dan da da"

Ray struggle for ten long years before he was being promoted!! You called that fast???? He joined somewhere in 1999. I even see Ray in cameo role. He worked very hard to achieved today status. I think Moses was promoted even faster than him

Read carefully. What did she said. I know moses's fans are unreasonable so i have to make it clear by saying capital letter is just to make something clear and not SHOUT or ANGRY. Struggle ten years before he was being promoted. Isn't that means that he was not being promoted for ten years till today? Like r33ve said. You all keep complaining even moses is not nominated for best actor. Why not you think he doesnt stucking to TVB's executive but said TVB is bias to raymond?

Everyone loves their artist being promote fast, no? Maybe you don't like but i dont think you like your idol being say struggle for ten years and acted as extra and even Moses faster than him. (like moses is very fast dry.gif). Ask yourself, no need to be fake. I welcome to attack me too, Elainehk.

Mouth said not being fast to promote means didn't stuck to TVB executive but when same thing happened on moses you will have different words. The best thing to prove is he didn't nominated for best actor and you complained.

P/s I'm going to have any fight with anyone but just get irritated by moses's fan picking on someone to bully.

I never thought you guys like fighting so much. I don't think this site worth staying anymore. After reading all your comment, I have only one conclusion, lots of Ray's fans are just as rude as Moses's fans.

louisax
Well, i will list out what i know.

Moses Chan:
Entered industry in 1993. Last time he filmed movie instead of series until 2000, he joined TVB. In 2002 he has bigger role in Where the Legends Begin as Cao Cao's son. Before that he always acted villain in movie and series.

Steven Ma:
Entered industry in 1994. Acted some movies. About is he a main lead in movies, i have no idea because those movies made in 90's. He has big role the duke of mount deer which as a king in 1998. I heard he started as singer and quite success.

Ron:
He took dancing class in 1999. I have no idea since when he changed to become actor because of louis koo's advised. He has big role in Triumph of skies in 2004.

Raymond:
He was studying in US and came back to have a summer vacation and coincidently someone introduced him to work in TVB. Entered TVB in 1998. Taking acting class in 1999. He became TVB8 host for a while because of his ability to speak mandarin fluently. He has big role in ASTIP (villain) in 2000. Before that, he acted as lawrence ng's disciple in A Taste of Love which paired up with miriam yeung, who was a newbie too.

Bosco:
Bosco's journey in the entertainment began in 1998 when he was spotted on the street by a talent-recruiter which led him to his first appearance in a lemon tea commercial. After that, he became host and he interviewed raymond before while raymond was filming ASITP. He has bigger role in 2003 which in series of Aqua Heroes.

So this is what i knew. Just drop any artiste name and i will give you an explanation if i know their stories.

Thanks Louisax for the interesting info, but I would like to revise your info on Steven. Nobody knows an artiste better than his/her fan, right?. So here goes:

Steven entered entertainment industry in 1993 as a singer, after winning the championship of Pioneer 3rd Karaoke singing competition. In 1997, he switched career from a singer to an actor. Between 1997 and 2003 he acted in TVB series as a contract artiste with his own manager. In 2006, only then did he become a TVB managed artiste.

1997 1st cameo role - Files of Justice4
1998 His 1st major role - Duke of Mt Deer
1998 -2000 2nd male lead role => Healing Hands1, Ultra Protection and Return of the Cuckoo
2001 1st male lead role => On the track or off (40 eps)

Since then, male lead roles all the way. 2004 - 2006 He took a hiatus from TVB series

So was Steven a fast tracker in TVB or just average? I've no idea, since I know little about his male counterparts' TVB history to compare with.

haha, you are right. Thanks for your much better info of steven too.

Additional info about raymond:
He was a main lead for a movie called Stolen Love in 2001.

To those artistes'fans that i mentioned, if you found any mistake of my summary please correct it by telling anyone.
insanity1903
I think Raymond, he was already noticeable in his first few series.
As for Bosco, he's reallly first tvb series with lines was Triumph In The Skies.
Prior to that, he's roles in Burning Flames II & The Awakening Story were just extras.
He does get leading roles but he does have supporting roles too.
suzanne
yep defiantly raymond lam and linda chung being the fastest promoted...lolz

could also be kate tsui too as she's in quite a lot of series lately...but that's good news for me as i quite like kate series smile.gif

thank you very much for your info.

if you dont mind can tell me about lai lok yin and kenneth ma?
wotg
Not too sure who got the fastest promotion, but I think Babara Yung would be one of them. Unfortunately, she ended up in such a tragedy.
acoustic
Kevin Cheng wasn't promoted when he was a singer but he was promoted rather quickly when he came back as an actor in tvb.
gokutrunk
so, if steven is tvb contract artist why he is not in the list of nomination for this year??? surprise me...

i think that raymond and charmaine are fastest promote by tvb...
charmaine is lead in almost her series, raymond is too....
「kahing ♥」
Mhhmmm~

For the girls, I think Linda is promoted way to fast. Some say Fala is too, but I don't think so, because she has a lot more minor roles compared to Linda, like in <Family Link> and even in <Moonlight Resonance> and <Heart of Greed>, her role is smaller than Linda's. I also think that Myolie is promoted pretty fast too, only like two or three series, and she is already the lead, to this day, she is still promoted, but not as much as Linda. I think Charmaine was promoted a lot back then too, she was a lead in her like third series? I agree, Michelle Yip was promoted a lot too, but that was when she first entered, the two three years before she left TVB, she wasn't really promoted, but downgraded a bit. Kate is also promoted really fast too.

For the guys, I agree Raymond was promoted quite a bit, but I not as much as Ron after he reached fame. I don't believe a lot of guys in TVB are promoted really fast, for example, Ron and Bosco played a lot of roles without names or words for a couple of years before they were promoted. Sammul was promoted a little, he never played characters w/o lines, but he was never the leading man.
jelskcs
Currently, Raymond Lam for male and without a doubt, Linda Chung for female. From what I've seen, these two has only played 1-2 minors/supporting roles; after that they are usually the lead in the series. Linda is basically Charmaine Sheh #2. Before Linda, Charmaine was also heavily promoted.

Fala is getting promoted a lot too without a doubt. One of the reasons why she kept playing minor roles is probably due to her Cantonese.

As for Myolie Wu, she hasn't always have the leading female roles. She played a lot of minor/supporting roles that weren't even eye catching before reaching where she is today.

Oh yeah, Kenneth Ma is another one. Although it might not seems like it, he's actually in a lot of series. It wasn't till this year that he started leading.

I think Ron Ng is being promoted very fast..

Actor: Raymond Lam

Getting a little bored of seeing him in like so many bloody series. Especially since he doesnt seem all that versatile. Sometimes he plays the cold facade dude, others the rich and carefree. But nothing too extreme like overly evil (Step Into the Past - he started out good, and even his bad wasn't like anger-evoking bad)

Actress: Linda Chung

So sick and tired of her. Annoying actress, not that grreat acting. Ruining the cast lists for appealing sereies (FH, HOG etc) I cant stand her honestly. And feel like FF-ing every scene with her. And to say, I actually liked her character in VOH.

Sorry. um HeavenlyStrike .. I dotn think you should be so .. restricting with the topic. I mean, why be sexist and go "Only ACTOR!" .. I mean, it's not just actors which get promoted heavily. In fact, I reckon the females are promoted much mroe than the males. I mean, even on this site you'd hear alot of "Fala outshoen Kate Tsui at X event" and like "Linda Chung does this or that" or "Tavia etx" but guys get less of this than the girls do IMO.

Because for actress i knew everyone will say linda. I do not wish to read same comment again and again.

Actors are very different and seem like everyone has their own opinion and so far everyone seems like thinking raymond is the fastest.

raymond lam and kenneth ma now. ray is HEAVILY promoted now. how many series have u been seeing him? he leads in everything. even the four. he is like the main althou its reported otherwise.

ron WAS heavily promoted earlier when he had TITS, RDOV.. but now its raymond raymond raymond in every other series.

did raymond lam appears a lot in this year? I dont think so?

Bosco has grand production series will premiere after this
wChaU1
Actor: lately Raymond Lam (in a good way); also suggesting, starting getting more promo: Wong Cho Lam

Actress: hands down Charmine Sheh (rating poison queen) and currently so sick of Linda Chung. Linda Chung is f---- everywhere; does she has a vacation in her schedule. These two are way over promoting by TVB.

God, TVB needs to promote some of people who still act in minor roles in many years.

lol, there are like 5 forums thats are similar to this
but i have to say

ACTORS: Raymond
ACTRESS: Linda and Kate
louisax
if u think she is fastest being promote because you seeing her too much is wrong. She entered entertaiment industry for 5 years. It is reasonable to promote her but she is being promoted too much. This year, her series is non stop broadcasting.
Rapidash
I believe raymond is the fastest because he always written fastest being promote in newspaper for countless time

For girl, i guess kate and linda because everyone said they two.

Girls - Linda Chun. Boys - Raymond Lam.

I'm sorry but Moses got to the actor award faster cause people accepts him and likes him quicker than they did with Raymond. When Moses first started everyone hated him for his pesty characters, but later he work his way up taking some really silly supporting roles and the older folks and the middle age ones started to like him and his personality. With his role in War of Flowers he got famous and then he was liked by everyone in Heart of Greed. With Raymond, even though he got so many lead roles and grand productions, but the older viewers didnt accept him and his previous lead dramas didnt really had that much great rating. Nowadays he's popular among the netizens like here and younger viewers, but doesnt mean someone like my mom will like him. My mom used to hate Moses Chan, but she seems to have accepted him because of his charismatic improved acting skills, while Raymond... I have no words. My mom is a very bashful person :/.

Raymond has many old viewer supporters, in HK and in many other places. Not only young viewers like him. His LFD is consider as Housewives Killer in HK, so U think Housewives now r teenage and young viewer?

His leading roles which has great rating are:
- EH (1st male leading role)
- LWVB (1st male leading role)
- Survivor Law (1st male leading role, the rating is so good so they made SL2)
- TOB (not high but it's in top 5 rating of 2004)
- LFD (1st male leading role)
- MR (top of rating this year)

Other series of him has great rating r: ATOL, ASITP, GF, BH, HOG, DOL.

From 2006 to now, 3 of his series r Best Series (2006: LFD, 2007: HOG, 2008: MR).

Up to now, he filmed 19 series and 12 had good rating.

This series is War and Beauty. In HOG's poll on DDD vs Alfred made by TVB, 56% supports Alfred. U can watch the 40 tables celebration clip to see. Youtube have it.

I haven't seen anyone complain on Fung's personality. I even noe some families which mom, son, daughter r his fans. He has good comments from the old viewers. U can watch the TVB Scoop for TVB 41. The one who supported him is an old lady.

Talk about mom, not only r mom is a very bashful person. My mom is also one. She really hated Oscar in GF cuz he is bad stupid boy, but from LFD, she said tat this guy can act quite good and accepted him. I've noe a dad of my friend who is also bashful, but he said tat Fung is his favourite actor and he has really good acting. Lolz, maybe my mom who is 60 and my friend's dad who is 55 has "teenage mind" tongue.gif.

Ah, Moses joined industry on 1994, about 5 years sooner than Fung. So plz dun say tat Moses is faster promoted than Fung, it's unfair to Moses.

Yeah, I like both Moses and Fung (but dun deny tat I hate Moses's role DDD), but both of them didn't have enough promotion. They r famous for their own talent. To talk about who has more old fans than who, should contact wit the fan club. As far as I noe about Fung, his fan club even has ppl who was born in 1952 as fan. In mainland, the oldest fan of him pronounced is an old lady who is nearly 80 and an old man who is 74.

I don't think moses got the actor award faster because raymond got Best Actor before moses in Malaysia. If I'm not mistaken War and Beauty aired in the same year with Twin of Brothers in 2004. Raymond managed to beat all seniors and got his Best Actor award with his role, Kau Chung in Twin of Brothers. That means moses lost to raymond with his role in War and Beauty.

In past, raymond was very popular with michelle. There was a raymond-michelle aka RM fans gathering and you can watch it via youtube. Raymond has good air rating series too and some of the not good air rating series was very hit in other country just like Twin of Brothers. Although Twin of Brothers's air rating was just average but it is the most exspensive series selling in my country. Maybe your mom is a very bashful person but it doesnt mean everyone around your mother's age hate raymond.
