sandalls
WOW guys!!! thanks for all the goodies!!! I find it very cute how Kevin was like, "please rumour me with Tavia Yeung, Charmaine and I are getting old!!!" lol! WOW Tavia has some really nice long legs!!! she looked really pretty, and I found it funny how Kevin was nudging her... YESSSSSSSSSS!!!! Bernice is doing a Malaysian series in June!!! FungYi is safe for now... but then again there is also Kenneth...but hey, I'm all for a triangle!!! hahahaha!!!

EDIT: just found some photos from baidu on promotional events in Korea!!!

sandalls, thanks for the pics. Tavia looks so pretty and their costumes look very grand. Maybe the Koreans will be interested in BTROC looking at the beautiful costumes and of course the beautiful people, although they have their shares of beautiful artistes too.

And bad news, I think HK magazines are stirring up for more troubles for SITS. Another article written on SITS vs RB and guess what, pressures pressures on Tavia since it tries to pit her against Sheren. I'm gonna translate the article now.
sandalls
OH NO!!!! but then again, we all knew that there would be some sort of comparison between the two series since its news of being released... but I am not worried because audiences can judge for themselves whether they like and enjoy the series or not (its obvious that Sheren is from another generation altogether so it would be totally unreasonable to compare Si Nai Nai and Sing Suet!!!)... anyways, Sweetness in the Salt has finally launched its own official tvb.com website at this address ... http://drama.tvb.com/sweetnessinthesalt/ please visit to show support!!! I believe that there is two more trailers that I have yet to see, for some reason I can't see the other two clips... I hope someone else will be able to...
artbox
basically on HK discuss i can see a lot of them saying bad stuff about SITS (ohh, this is abt love...blah blah), so pissing me off, i dont get why they always think a drama with love plot is always bad! Seriously, im watching RB now, i dont really think that it is that interesting...but at least i personally dont compare SITS with RB, esp, the people who are leading are so different and i mean you would expect TavStev+Ray to have love triangle but i seriously cant see that Sheren and Wayne to have love triangle, so that's why the whole story was not focusing on love...sorry guys, i just couldnt stop myself, no offense to people who love RB, but it is jt annoying with the way people keep comparing the two...

btw, thx for the clips, news and pix abt the kor award thing, the 3 of them remind me of Yummy Yummy...but is it jt me, or Tavia didnt look too happy...

[3 Weekly Vol. 504] <Rosy Business> of <Sweetness in the Salt>’s team, Steven Ma killed Tavia Yeung’s whole family

<Rosy Business> received rave reviews and is very popular. Unfortunately, it’s not known when its sequel will be filmed. It’s not known how long we have to wait for it.

Can’t wait? Don’t worry, TVB urgently launched Producer Lee Tim Sing’s old production <Sweetness in the Salt>. It has the similar word “Hiu” in its title, and was similarly about one of human’s primary needs. This time, the topic is on salt.

This time, the main characters are not Chai Gau, Fourth Mistress, but Anti-Smuggling Police Steven ma and a salt smuggler’s daughter Tavia Yeung. The two were lovers turned enemies. Steven Ma even became Tavia Yeung’s enemy for killing Tavia’s whole clan. Loving but also hating, any less acting skill will turn out to be a disaster, will they have chance to pit against Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang in the TVB Anniversary?

The ending of <Rosy Business> last week caused a “Chai Gau’s heat”. The ending reached rating of 43 points, causing the price of the acting talent batch Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang to skyrocket. However, <Rosy Business 2> which has been early rumoured is only on planning stage. It’s predicted that audiences still need to wait for at least another year. TVB decides to ride on <Rosy Business’> power and immediately launched Rosy Business’ Producer Lee Tim Sing’s old series <Sweetness in the Salt>, to ease the thirst of audiences who are still thirsty after 25 episodes of <Rosy>.

<Sweetness in the Salt> is actually a series which Lee Tim Sing has completed its production in the early last year and has been broadcasted overseas earlier. Originally, the series has become TVB’s warehoused stock, but because <Rosy Business> became a big hit, Lee Tim Sing was highly regarded. Including <Man In Charge>, <Sweetness in the Salt> is already the third series of Producer Lee Tim Sing which TVB broadcast consecutively.

Although it is not <Rosy Business 2>, <Sweetness in the Salt> remained similar to it. Other than sharing the word “Hiu”, the setting of <Sweetness> is also in Dynasty Ching. Although the main characters Tavia Yeung and Raymond Wong do not sell rice, but what they sell is also one of human’s primary needs, salt. The series also have scenes of the struggles between merchants and officials. Lee Tim Sing’s favourites, Kwok Fung, Kara Hui, Kanin Ngo all have a lot of screentime. <Sweetness> can be considered as a varied version of <Rosy Business>.

Of course, not all the storyline and characters of <Sweetness in the Salt> are similar to <Rosy Business>, the main plot centred around the romance between Steven Ma and Tavia Yeung. Steven Ma, who was the head police of Anti-Smuggling department, became undercover in the Dao Salt village in order to smash the salt smuggling camp. He developed romance with the chief of salt smuggler’s daughter Tavia Yeung. Later, the government eliminated the salt smuggling camp. After being separated from Steven Ma, Tavia Yeung was saved by the young master of a salt merchant Raymond Wong. The lover became the enemy for killing her whole clan. Of course Tavia hated Steven Ma deeply. She thought of revenging days and nights. Raymond Wong also entered the gaps between them. The three developed a triangle relationship.

The most challenging role in <Rosy Business> is the Fourth Mistress Sheren Tang. This time, Tavia Yeung’s character would love and hate, seemed like it is even more challenging than the Fourth Mistress. Will Tavia Yeung, who won last year’s TVB Anniversary’s Best Supporting Actress award, win the TV Queen title over Sheren Tang? Let’s see whether <Sweetness in the Salt>’s rating will beat <Rosy Business>’.

One of TVB’s golden Producer Lee Tim Sing started filming series for TVB since 1978. Having filmed a lot of Jin Yong’s novel adaptations, he especially appreciated a batch of talented veterans. Safeguards (2006) earned 34 points in ratings without the guarantee of big casts. He also particularly loved Wayne Lai, Kwok Fung, Kara Hui, Lau Kong, etc. His drama will always have them in the casts.

Errr... when did Sing Suet think of revenging days and nights????

And the second highlights...Sweats.... what do you guys think? I surely hope the HK audiences are not taking this article seriously.

sandalls, thanks for the link.

Well, I haven't finished watching RB, but from the first episode I do like it. But I do agree that I'm annoyed at the prejudice people at HK discuss forum are giving SITS for its love triangle. It may not be as boring as they think it will be (since a lot of triangle relationship has been pretty boring in TVB i.e. HOG and MR, but this one I don't find so). And what's wrong with a young batch of good-looking guys and girls having romance between them? It's only natural.

I think people are comparing between the two because the media AND TVB keep saying/'selling' SITS as the second RB. So it's TVB's fault to start with.

Maybe Tavia is feeling the pressure across HK due to SITS... I'm joking, but then again, it isn't impossible.

Bernice is doing a Malaysian series in June!!! FungYi is safe for now... but then again there is also Kenneth...but hey, I'm all for a triangle!!! hahahaha!!!


sandalls, where did you hear this news? Is it confirmed? I'm all for a triangle too, provided it's 2 guys and 1 girl and not the other way round.

Akazukin, thanks for your translation.
however, i wonder why do you care so much about that news, 3 Weekly s notorious tabloid

Fungyi new series, mostly Kenneth will be guest star since he gonna be busy with Iron Horse for next 3 months.

I am really excited, Kenneth got his wish and I got 3 wishes;

Because it is adding oil to the fire. Any oil counts at this point in time I guess. Maybe it is a notorious magazine, but will HK people disregard it because of that? Hopefully.

Littlefish in tavia.org sorta confirmed that Kenneth is added to the cast, but like you said, he is going to be busy filming Iron Horse. Maybe he will guest star like you said. But I was kinda hoping Kenneth gets a chance to have a proper collaboration with Tavia, since their last collaboration was so long ago (EH) and they didn't even have much scenes or interactions together. I don't think gueststarring justify Kenneth's request of collaborating with Tavia. But I guess they still have chance to collaborate in the future.

By the way, does anyone know that Ms. Lok's right hand person was sacked due to lagging the contract signing of talented artistes such as Roger Kwok, Bowie Lam, Steven Ma, etc (source from tamaya in Steven's thread).

QUOTE (tamaya @ Jun 5 2009 1 57 PM) *
Breaking News Flash News Flash!!!!

Ms. Virginia Lok's right hand woman, 經理陳佩華 the manager (for artistes dept?) got fired by TVB apparently for the 3 main reasons listed below:

1) Managed artistes complaint of the scarcity of good outside jobs - but favorites still given lucrative jobs - blatant show of favoritism of artistes

2) The artiste dept formerly a gold mine is not making money because of recession

3) Dept to sign up certain clientèle but didn't. Also order to sign up a group of artistes but failed to do so except for 2. Artistes to grab for signing up are: Bowie Lam, Roger Kwok, Steven Ma, Maggie Cheung, Sheren Tang, Wong Hei, and Ada Choi. Only Bowie and Roger signed up.

thanks for translating the article Akazukin!!! WOW that article really does create some hype about the Sweetness doesn't it??? but we've gotta have confidence in the series because it was pretty good... oh btw, Bernice mentioned at a blessing ceremony for her new film that she is filming a Malaysian series in June... while the Fung-Yi-Ming series is now pushed back to July...

btw Akazukin, was the title meant to read Rosy Business VS Sweetness in the Salt??? and in paragraph 6 you wrote Raymond Lam instead of Raymond Wong?? hahaha anyways, thanks for translating and opening the poll... seems like most hk netizens are watching it for a certain actor/actress and not because of Rosy...

sandalls, thanks. I have edited the Raymond, this is what happened when I translate at very late at night and I guess I'm too used to typing Raymond Lam. As for the title, it's not really Rosy Business vs Sweetness in the Salt. The translation may sound weird, but it means to say Rosy Business but Sweetness in the Salt's team, which is like saying Sweetness in the Salt is another version of Rosy Business.

I think most netizens will be watching it for the artistes/story more than because it is tied to Rosy Business, so if that proves true, I also hope TVB will realise that, and recognise SITS in its own merits. After all, it did do well overseas without the hype of RB.
classic
Akazukin, yeah, add oil to fire, but whatever it is, it s a promotion, at least people will be curious how "bad" it is, so they "have to" turn on TV

plus, better TVB air it now than it wont air at all like FTF. And this is summer now, students dont have school so they can watch more series now and swine flu is also a plus imo, HK people may be afraid of it just like SARS back in '03, then more people will stay home
Chandra
Wow, so glad to see this thread's moving. THANK YOU SO MUCh to Akazukin for doing the translations. Whoa, I didn't notice that Kevin was nudging Tavia until some of you guys mentioned it and I watched it again to see it. It was cute though. hehehe, and also the fact that Kevin wants to rumor with Tavia. Seems like everybody wants to be rumored with her but she's rumor-free.

The media does give SITS + the casts lots of pressures and I hope the series will do well. If the ratings are not high, I hope they won't blame it on Tavia b/c she's the leading. It kind of sucks how IF the ratings are high and good, they'll probably say because it has something related to Rosy Business, such as the people are watching SITS probably because they're a fan of RB. Lol, I'm just saying so hopefully no one will fuss at me. But we'll never know. Hope everything goes well for Tavia, (I wonder how she feels with all the pressure from the media and TVB) and hope that people will enjoy the SITS.

Seems like Tavia's new series will be pushed back to July, I guess that gives Tavia lots of rest and hopefully, opportunities to make money and do promotions for SITS.

I guess it could be an advantage to have the audiences curious to how "bad" it is, because they might watch with a low expectation, so it may turn out better than they expected. And I totally agree that it's better for TVB to air it now rather than never or who knows when. Even though it's like a gamble, at least they are given a chance. FTF was only aired in pay channel. I can't stop laughing at your comments about the swine flu, it's funny and true, but I feel bad laughing.

Yeah, it is so cute. And yeah, seems like many people want to be rumoured with Tavia, but she only has a few, and for those who have been rumoured with her, i.e. Ron, he seems to like the rumour.

I'm more afraid of low ratings. If the rating is high, they would listen to people's reviews and comments. If they find most people praising Tavia, I think Tavia will definitely get the recognition just like MR. I hope everything goes well for Tavia too. I think she will inevitably feel the pressure, just that she isn't showing it, maybe she did more housechores at home to lessen her stress.
sandalls
hey guys!!!!!!! back again!!! lol! anyways, was browsing through Tavia's baidu page and came across the performance by Kevin, Charmaine and Tavia at the Korean Cable TV Festival... they basically sang Jay Chou's Chrysanthemum Flower which is the theme for Curse of the Golden Flower (I posted pictures before^^)... check out the video because all three get to sing the song and they were ok... hahaha there were some screaming fans in the background too... http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=588987894 ... I hope everyone will be able to watch it because I know that some will have troubles with the site...
~Akane~
Akazukin: I think the chinese saying 'let it flow' is suitable. Don't get too caught up and personal about SITS. As a fan, I say RB is very deserving for its ratings and it is overall the better series. I'm personally just happy they are at least airing Tavia's series giving her more exposure. We all know Sheren is the better actress, but that is to be expected from her experience etc. Tavia has done a wonderful job, and I doubt anyone will say her acting in SITS is anything short of a MR. Relax, Tavia has Beyond to showcase her skill and the new Modern series with Ray coming up. Even if SITS fails, she'll have those two series to back it up. I daresay, the modern series will have good promotional activity, if the cast is true. We all know how TVB treats Ray especially.

Its not like Tavia's career is dependent on SITS, I think if I have to worry, I'll worry for Raymond Wong instead. I'll feel sorry for him because its his biggest breakthrough yet and if the rating is a let down...
Akazukin

Well, that's how the magazine claimed it to be, SITS as Tavia's exam. I wouldn't worry about Raymond Wong since there has been no expectation given on him, so he has nothing to lose. I guess the reason I'm worried is because I know that RB is a better series than SITS (even though I haven't watched RB, just bought its DVD, I'll see how I think of it once I watch it). It's hard not to worry considering this is the official first time that Tavia is leading the series. Yeah, she still has BTROC, SOL, and the upcoming series with Ray and Kenneth, but she is not the first lead in BTROC, and who knows what may happen to SOL and the upcoming series if she doesn't "pass" this exam. Of course, I hope the magazine to only talk nonsense about it being Tavia's exam. Like abhor said, the magazine is a notorious one, so I should not take it too seriously. But sometimes, when you read comments in hk discuss forum, you can't help but to be afraid. But then, someone told me before that the comments in SITS thread in hk discuss forum are written by fans of certain someone, so I should not be too worried too. I guess part of my worries come from worries that people are not watching and enjoying SITS due to their prejudice from RB. I just think it will be a huge pity if people are not enjoying due to this reason since SITS standing alone is an overall enjoyable series.

Anyway, I just hope they don't give too much pressures to Tavia. If I'm feeling this pressure, less to say what Tavia would feel. But I should stop complaining. The result is going to come out within this month.

sandalls
I'm not too worried about ratings or comparisons for now... I'm very happy to see this series released in HK because it was a great series... I've also seen other trailers of the series on baidu and tvb have done well with making it attractive and attention grabbing because its certainly making me wanna watch the series again lol! btw its said that bloopers were also released...I hope tvb.com's official youtube page posts those bloopers and interviews the cast about their characters and special and unforgettable moments...
Akazukin
Despite my worries, I'm very thankful that SITS gets the chance to air in HK's jade channel. Yeah, I read that they are releasing bloopers too, but I can't find it. Hopefully, they will include many bloopers and many nice ones.

By the way, sandalls, is the clip of Kevin, Tavia, and Charmaine performing in Korea available in youtube? I can't load it in baidu.
sehseh
Hi, those KCTA & CCSF clips in youtube were uploaded by me. For Tavia fans who can't view in baidu, you can view them in my site.

http://idlemindsehseh.blogspot.com/

p.s. Got another interview clip on progress, should be ready in 10 mins.
Akazukin
sehseh, thanks so much for uploading those videos and sharing the link here. Well, I think the song is very nice although their HK accents are a bit too obvious in their singing. But I particularly loved the way Tavia walked down during the beginning of the song. Her posture and gesture, very ancient and elegant. But Tavia doesn't seem to look too happy?
sehseh
Not happy? Maybe she's just tired and nervous. The three of them wore wigs and costume the whole day - earlier they were promoting [Beyond] at Daejeon exhibition hall.

sandalls
WOW thanks sehseh for letting us know that you have uploaded the videos on youtube because I know that fans have had difficulties with watching it on baidu!!! thanks! hahaha I think Tavia is interested in getting a korean boyfriend!!! lol!
artbox
Akazukin, you are right, it is TVB's fault!!! n yes it is great to see SITS to be aired in TVB Jade...coz i never tot they gona, so in a way should thx to RB tongue.gif

anyways, it is so funny that Tavia kept asking Charmaine 'right?' in the kor clip n i think this is the 1st time i hear Tavia sings in Mando i think happy.gif
sehseh
You're welcome. I hope there will be more interview clips of them - in normal/casual clothes. Korean website are really hard to navigate sweat.gif

I have to use short term and anonymous tag for those clips - just in case overzealous TVB ppl in youtube froze my account again cluebat.gif My previous account which contained a lot of Beyond related clips are also deleted because of this.

By the way, Tavia mentioned that she just watched [A Frozen Flower] and she liked Joo Jin Mo. I also happen to watch it last week, because I like the other leading actor Jo In Sung blush.gif
sandalls
artbox, its actually not the first time that Tavia has sung in Madarin... I believe that she sings Teresa Teng's 'Wo Ji Zai Fu Ni" at international functions and I believe that its on youtube also... I think that all three have done well considering the little time given for rehersals and all (since they're all busy doing other series and taking time off etc)... hahaha I'm not familiar with Korean actors or actresses but I'm sure that Tavia would have chosen a good looking one lol!
artbox
sandalls, ohh, somehow i only have memory of Tavia singing Sammi's beatiful for life
Akazukin
LOL, artbox, yeah, Tavia's favourite song to perform is Lifetime Beauty, but she has sung other songs as well. I actually liked her singing red green light during the NY countdown with Bosco (even though she forgot the lyrics half way, but it is a bonus seeing Bosco coming to her rescue). The moment they took the interview was a bit awkward, I think because of the language barrier. It's already a problem that they can't speak in Korea that they need a translator, but the translator also can only speak in mandarin which they are not very fluent in.

Maybe Tavia was tired, but then Charmaine looked cheerful enough, and usually Tavia is more jumpy and not any less cheerful than Charmaine, so I can definitely feel that she is less cheerful than her usual.

Anyway, the song sounds good overall, fits the mood and theme. But are they lipsync-ing? 'Cause it sounds too good to be live.

sehseh, thanks again for uploading the clips. I also don't understand why TVB keeps deleting clips blindly. I mean, I understand if they delete episodes of series, but why are they deleting what's supposed to be free promotion for them? I know, copyright issue, but then it doesn't serve any benefit to delete those promotion clips.
sandalls
ok so I found the clip for you artbox, this was quite a while ago when Tavia was in Toronto...



I think that Tavia is just tired from working sooooo much lately...I'm sure that she'll be able to rest soon after doing her part in Iron Horse... YAY Sweetness Promotions are today!!!! hmmmm hopefully it is today because its not on the tvb schedule but its still on Tavia's schedule... anyways, remember to support Tavia's blog guys!!!
loveSS
i hope SITS is doing great in HK
but i know its hard
i saw lots of comments...many people watched it online already and some fans also purchased the DVD.
i really dont understand why they chose to air SITS right after RB?
and i hate the comparison between sheren and tavia..
they are from different generations and sheren had so much more acting experience than tavia
its so unfair to compare tavia to sheren...

anyways, there is a promotion today?
i thought its on the 14th?
hopefully HK audience will still like SITS

"Sweetness in the Salt" Promo
Sunday June 7, 2009 Hong Kong
Credits to tungstar, stevenma.org, tavia.org, and the-sun
Credits: translation to hyn5 @ hynt5-hyn5.blogspot.com



Producer, Lee Tim Sing laughs and says the series will not beat "Rosy Business" in ratings.

Leading lady, Tavia Yeung admits that there is a lot of pressure, and says, "We do have confidence [in the series] because the series did very well in Canada [and overseas]. Both "Salt" and "Rosy" are series about essential items, and my character changes from a naive person that knows nothing to a boss of the house hold. The similarity it [the character] has with Sheren's fourth wife, is that they both are very brave."

"A Watchdog's Tale" was originally supposed to air, but TVB decided to air "Salt" because of the success of "Rosy". Steven Ma praises Sheren Tang and Wayne Lai on their acting abilites. Steven already admits defeat in ratings compared to "Rosy", but "Salt" will still bring surprise to the audience.

i prefer Tavia's hairstyle during promotion to series.

by the way, there is a funny behind the screen during Iron Horse filming. this is from a person who works on the set and he/she witnessed funny interaction between Tavia-Kenneth-Kevin
( forgive me as i rarely do translation)

QUOTE
After Tavia finished filming her scene with her fake stomach (she was pregnant), she took a pad out and used as a pillow during her break. When Kenneth saw this, he said, "Mom! How can you use "me" as a pillow?" Kevin was practicing his martial art, stopped and calmly said, "That is Shirley, she's sleeping on ." Tavia refuted, "No, Shriley and Jazz Lam are twins, so "it" should be bigger. I'm positive this is Kenneth!" Then, the three of them checked the script to see who "it" really is.


haha, really funny how the 3 of them check the script to "verify" who "it" is.

i prefer Tavia's hairstyle during promotion to series.

by the way, there is a funny behind the screen during Iron Horse filming. this is from a person who works on the set and he/she witnessed funny interaction between Tavia-Kenneth-Kevin
( forgive me as i rarely do translation)



haha, really funny how the 3 of them check the script to "verify" who "it" is.

tamaya, thank for your photo


That was hilarious, thanks for sharing it abhor

I watched the new episode of Beautiful Cooking just now, and was so disappointed, it wasn't Tavia's episode sad.gif

I think I'll be downloading SITS again in HQ, must collect it.

Can't wait for more promotional activties for SITs, and some behind the scenes stuff for Iron Horse.

I do hope that SITS will get good ratings, don't expect it to be as good as RB, but at least in high 20's-30's. I'm more concerned about the reviews/comments on Tavia's acting.

thanks for all of the news guys!!! its just as we predicted, it is being compared to Rosy, but hey, I'm sure that, like Steven said, it will bring audiences a little unqiueness... hahaha lol Tavia, Kenneth and Kevin are sooooo funny!!! they must be having sooooo much fun filming the series... I remember in HOG, Fala and Tavia were bashing the baby bump while Louise and Susanna were filming their scenes... hahaha what is with the abuse of the baby bump???

Steven Ma & Tavia Yeung already expects defeat, no confidence for "Sweetness In the Salt"

Continuing on with "Rosy Business" popularity, TVB decided to broadcast Tavia Yeung, Steven Ma, Raymond Wong's "Sweetness In the Salt". Yesterday the cast members attended the promotional event for th series. They sounded like they had no confidence that they could beat "Rosy Business" in ratings. Tavia said that the two series are kind of similar, therefore having lots of pressures: "The two series, one series talks about rice, the other talks about salt. Both are about history, so there will definitely be comparisons. (Is your role similar to 4th Wife Sheren Tangs in Rosy Business too?) I didn't watch it, 4th Wife is probably a very strong character, has power, but my character is naive and ignorant."

Steven admitted that its Thanks to "Rosy" that "Sweetness" could finally be broadcast. According to him, originally TVB scheduled his other series with Linda Chung "A Watchdog's Tale" to broadcast. Now that Rosy Business is so popular, its hard to beat, but he won't have pressure.

thanks for all the news and articles!!! lets hope ep 1 already attracts audience's attention. Its fast paced enough...I esp like Raymond Wong and his father's scene in ep 1.

Tavia's face looks really white. But it looks like it's make-up because the tone of her neck is darker.

hahaha Akane, my chinese is not fantastic, but basically, people are generally attracted to the plot and its only the first episode, therefore they can't wait for more... a lot of Raymond Wong and Tavia supporters lol! people have also been talking about the lack of screentime Steven has and anticipate when Tavia seeks revenge on Steven...

I feel like re-watching it too...just then i saw some people praise the way Tavia cried-think is the part where she saw Steven and her parents' dead bodies...so far i think a lot people are paying attention to Raymond...poor Steven, not much negative say about Tavia's acting, just people keep saying she doesnt gv them a 1st lead impression
