he is in china now, filming 小孩不笨. he was home last thursday, but gone again.

oh hes gone again? when will he return back to HK again...will he be there for christmas and new year?

ooh hehee i was watching return of the condor heros 1995 again with louis koo and carman lee and in one of the episodes i saw a very familiar face...hehe...it was chin pang!! he said about 3 lines and then he got killed but it was a surprise tho....

and Hands of Hope has him also, this is a series with Amy chan and Gallen Lo, he got beat by a girl, pretty bad. so does Love Match from Heaven with Jess Huan and amy Wok, he appeared a little more in that one.

He was a cameo role in Kindred Spirit as well, I was so surprised when I saw him in there on the TVB Jade Channel for overseas people. He acted as a DJ. I remember seeing him in Love Match from Heaven too, he looked so skinny in there. He looks skinny in the pictures of his new mainland series as well, did he slim down on purpose or is it because he's working really hard? He needs to eat more.

Oh by the way I came here to post my profile at youtube, I usually upload Charles Ying's clips but since Slylinannie wants to watch shows hosted by Chin Pang and since it'd be easier to watch all of his clips I decided to upload all of the one I have on to youtube for everyone. I'm almost finished still got the interview during the function of HK Special Cases and the rest of the Japanese Food Show to upload.

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=sport3888

I've been trying to find the offical website for starting from Hk that Chin Pang, Andrew, and Kenneth did and the website of the show about the railroad that Chin Pang did. They website should have the whole show uploaded. Need to find them as soon as possible before they get deleted by ATV.

thanks jess....

yeh he has been in alot....also one with maggie cheung in it as well as kenneth chan from TVB...i cant remember the name though

i didnt know he was in kindred spirit...was he in one of the beginning episodes?

That's awesome Jess! XD Can't wait to go through them all. Thanx for uploading those clips.

I watch the Condor Heroes like 20 plus times and I never caught Chin Pang in it. Strange. . .when did he appear? XP

Yea somewhere int he beginning it was whne Chai Siu Bing's Ton Miu thought she had cancer and called a radio station to ask a doctor some questions whether cancer can be past down by family members. It was really short though, he looked really young and good but he acted as a pretty annoyed DJ. I was so surprised when I saw him. If I remember correctly I think he was also in ICAC not sure what year maybe 1997 or 1998? well i thought I saw someone that looked like him, it was really hard to tell if it was really him since that series is usually fill with alot of cameo actors.

Can someone please help me find the offical ATV website of this show? I want to download and upload it when I go back home for winter break in three weeks. Thanks
青藏鐵路之旅宣傳片

woah, haven't posted here in a while how's everyone doing?

i'm waiting to go home so i can borrow the blind swordsman series chin pang is in, yay!!!
thank you soooo much Jessica for the clips! i was so happy and he's soooo cute with teresa, haha!
i'm not sure if i wanna see chin pang in the mentally challenged role because i seems like its gonna be corny....
however, i saw the new page on ATV that shows next years series and it looks like chin pang's gonna be in one of them so i guess that means he's staying with ATV? it looks like great series though if they actually make it cause its a comedy about vampires/ghosts and teresa mak will be in it too!!! can't wait

Yea but it's too bad that there isn't even a picture of him and his role is listed pretty far, I hope it isn't a small character. So unfair, Hawick and Patricia had a whole sales presentation series all to themselves. ATV is so unfair to their artists doesn't know how to promote correctly, always giving lead roles to outside actors and actresses instead of their own actors and actresses which makes them unpopular, they should make more series so that their actors can be more famous. Man if I was in charge of promotion I would so promote Ben Cheung, Ricky Chan, Benny Chan Chin Pang, Kenneth Chan, and Pinky Cheung. Maybe Theresa Mak but I still need to see her in some other characters other then the usually ones she play to see if she's versatile. I liked Patricia when she was with TVB so I'm sort of looking forward to how she doe sin No Turning Back but never liked Hawick, and now I hate him because ATV is promoting him more than Chin Pang. That's why I want Chin Pang to leave for TVB, because he'll get a better chance at lead roles, I guess he should wait till they move to the new building and see if things get better before deciding.

By the way, has ATV moved to the new building yet? I'm curious to how big is it cause from the clip I saw, the entrance looks pretty big. I'm also hoping that once they move in they will finally come out with more series and finally give the lead roles and promotion that their people deserves.

if i remember correctly he was in episode 23 about 15mins in the episode....he was one of the chune jun gao' members...sorry for the bad translation....he found out the mongol monk guy was blocking the doors of the 5 'chune jun gao' leaders....then he got killed....you have to watch closely hehe....let me know if you find him hehe..he actually looks the same as now




oh jess...yeh he was in the ICAC 1996 i think...he was just one of the ICAC members...hehe

lol. I'll look for it next time I go home. XD

******

lol. I actually found the series on google video and found the parts of his death. Here's the sequence for all who have not seen chin pang's glorious death scene in ROCH 95. XD


Note: Was told to go to the entrance in the middle of chaos.


Note: Yells at the evil monk guy (Don't know how to translate his name XP )


Note: Prepares to fight!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v355/TAn...andom/woah4.jpg
Note: Dies soon after jumping from behind the large stone figure.

I never watched Condor Heroes 95 thanks for the screencap. Oh so it was him in ICAC. I just saw parts of it on the Jade TVB channel but because the part i saw was in a dark conference room I couldn't tell if it was really him. Wish he'd film more modern series but unfortunately ATV doesn't film that much of their own series each year. I keep thinking he'd get more exposer if he's at TVB or even at doing movies. Still want him to come out with an album but doesn't seem like he has time. TVB knows how to package the actors they'd promote and would dress them up really nice for photo shoots. I wish Chin Pang would consider going over to TVB, feel so bad for him not getting known and recognized for his talent. I'm especially unhappy with the fact that ATV favours the newly joined Hawick and Patricia, well I'm ok with Patricia but just don't like Hawick cause many like Ben Cheung and Chin Pang can sing and act better than him. They give Hawick a chance to sing subsongs but I've never seen them give Ben Cheung a chance to sing subsongs or themesong? So unfair, ATV just doesn't know how to promote people, I don't feel surprised when their actors leave them because I'm getting weary of the bad treatment they're getting like having to settle for 2nd lead roles while seeing outside people from movies and ex-tvb actors outside of ATV taking the lead roles. I seriously wonder who's in charge of the promotion or if there's a person in charge of promotion at all in ATV. Because seriously, that someone seriously doesn't know what he or she is doing and should favour their own actors more and actors who has been with them longer and are loyal to the company instead people that just joined them.

I know I'm not suppose to post this here but I figured since most of you probably like Krystal then it won't be too bad if I post something over here.

I posted the picture of the series Krystal is filming right now and also earlier I posted a zip file of some of the songs I've download of the musical she did with Chris Wong not too long ago. I only downloaded the ones that sounded good though. The zip file has all the songs that Krystal sang in the musical except for the duet she had with the other female character in there. maybe I'll upload that one too when I have time. I highly recommend track 8 that Krystal sang a solo to. Wasn't use to her using a deep voice to sing that song but the song gets a whole lot better as you listen to it and she emphasizes the words in a very emotional way.

did she acted as a man in Mok Kai Ying (Amy Chan's version with Vincent Jiao)?
Maybe that was another actress who looked like her. If so, wonder why ATV did not hire an actor to portrait instead...

thanks for the screencaps cinammon!! hehe.....i loved that cap where he was preparing to fight hehe...

jess...i know why you are angry...i am too....but actually im not sure if chinpang going over to TVB is such a good thing afterall cos there are so many people over there already.....will they give him a chance and promote him...but i guess his status at ATV is already at his peak...but im not sure...just my opinion....i dunno but maybe at TVB he may have a chance of becoming big...

oh yeh i forgot to add...yeh in the ICAC one i saw him on duty at a gold shop spying on a baddie haha....you could see his face quite well...i loved the long hair

aww I want to see it, too bad there's no way to upload a clip of it. I thought he'd look good in the suit and would have nice hairstyle too.

yeh i did love that hair he had but i dont think he will have that hairstyle again cos its not very fashionable these days.i mean not a lot of men have that hairstyle now hehe......... yeh its really hard to find clips of that series....and he didnt appear in it that much...soo...i dunno hopefully we can one day

Can someone please translate Chin Pang's news.

3週刊 2006年12月9日 (第374期)

劉綽琪 壓軸贏張文慈

今年中約滿無線過檔亞視o既劉綽琪，除左衫愈著愈少之外，人氣仲有增無減，事關亞視全部都係精英，冇多餘閒角，劉綽琪過到亞視自自然然同一姐張文慈看齊，不過劉綽琪o既大解放的確令佢有唔少演出機會，就連張文慈都睇唔過眼，曾經o係公開場合寸佢：「唔係著得少就代表一姐！」但係o係岩岩推出o既亞視07年月曆裡面，劉綽琪同張文慈企正中間位，地位咁高咁大；而且劉綽琪仲做埋「十二月之星」，著住低胸衫同陳展鵬齊齊壓軸出場，至於張文慈只係做到「11月之星」，睇黎佢真係要加把勁保住一姐地位嘞。

《走進百姓家》逢星期一至五晚上九時本港台播出，目的為炎黃子孫尋找他們的〝姓〞背後的種種歷史與故事，在過去幾集已先後為姓〝陳〞、姓〝李〞、姓〝張〞等尋根問姓，而在下周更會為姓〝鄧〞、姓〝文〞、姓〝廖〞、姓〝侯〞及姓〝彭〞這香港五大家族尋根問姓。

有機會會嘗試錄下給大家回歸。

題外話: 《盲俠金魚飛天豬》明晚有陳先生的演出啦~
(陳先生都姓陳又唔知點解會拎陳煒小姐o個牌囉~ 好明顯「陳煒」後面o個牌就係「陳展鵬」啦!!!!)

香港亚视牵手湖南卫视 对抗无线

明年是香港亚洲电视台台庆50周年。为重展鸿图，昨天，亚视几乎所有高层及艺员群聚广州，为亚视50周年热身，推出2007年亚洲电视节目巡礼。
无视与无线各拍大剧

　　亚视与无线为纪念香港回归，分别拍摄了60集电视剧《沧海福田》与《岁月风云》，形成明年第一轮收视对抗。

　　据了解，《岁月风云》讲述的是四个家族三代人在中国发展汽车民营工业、在香港回归十年期间离合散聚的故事，当中有两代人的情感线，架构非常庞大。而亚视的《沧海福田》则从上世纪50年代第一次难民潮开始讲起，讲述4位女性在香港创业的故事。

　　巧合的是，这两部剧集都联合了内地最有声望的电视台:《岁月风云》是TVB首次与央视合作拍摄的高清电视剧，明年7月，两台将在黄金时段同期播出。而亚视《沧海福田》则联手内地最具实力的地方台湖南卫视合作拍摄，不仅亚视艺人悉数出动，湖南卫视演员和内地明星也都参与，两台也都将在明年7月黄金时间播出。

　　此外，亚视在其他自制和外购剧上也下足了工夫，明年将召集陈启泰、麦家琪、罗家英等组成强大阵容，重拍经典剧集《鳄鱼泪》。
希望这2部大戏《鳄鱼泪》和《沧海福田》有展鹏的演出

Can someone translated the summary of each sales presentation series as well thanks
http://www.hkatv.com/special_events/06/atv2007/

here's a brief preview of the sales presentation

function clip from 下午麼麼茶 It's right after the No Turning Back function.
http://app.hkatv.com/webtv/play.php?video_id=49915

some actors like Pinky Cheung, Derek, Ricky Chan, and Kon Mai Yi were interviewed about what they wanted to do next year. Too bad they didn't show the performances ATV still have not uploaded their sales presentation show nor clips. It still says coming soon so we'll just have to wait.

For those who want to download it
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ki1p97

or watch it on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/v/QSh_ux5KqBU

Hey Jess. . .You know the new years song you have uploaded on youtube?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCd_e2VcsMw

Do you happen to have a full version of the song? I remember hearing the full song before but I can't remember where it is. I can't seem to find it in Ally's links. . .if you don't have it, do you know where I can find it? ^^

I got it at an Alice Chan hk website that was turned into a forum now. That'd when I found out about the new year show and about Alice and Benny Chan Chin Pang's 5 episode series. I still want to watch it so bad. Don't think anyone has it.

Anyway yes I have the song but you'll need to wait for a week before I can go home for winter break. The song is at home on my computer. If you like Alice Chan or Remus Kam I can upload their subsong for Chinese Medic Master as well. Chin Pang sang the themesong to that series but he wasn't in the series. The subsong is very nice and in Remus's interview for ATV, Alice was guest on it and they showed their MV. I'll have more time to upload stuff in winter break but only for one week before I go to HK for vacation.

So sad that Chin Pang didn't have an interview like that, would be able to learn more about him.

Finally, scanned and uploaded the autograph that Ally sent me.

he's so cool!! seriously i have never really been an ATV programme's audience but i did watch love in miracle!!! he's just so hot in there..his character might be mean at times but i still watch the show for him!!

yeh i agree...i wish that ATV did an interview with chin pang like the one with remus....but i dunno...maybe he will get a chance soon

hehe cool picture....do you know where he was when the pic was taken?

Think might be when he was doing a japanese food show or when he was eating at a japanese restraurant since Ally wrote on the back that japanese food is his favorite.

Ahh... yeh i see it hehe....at first i was just concentrating on him...but yeh he is sitting on one of those japanese tables.....hehe...

ATV Chinese New Year Song just audio You pretty much tell who was singing except I don't know who was the girl singing with Ricky and Derek To at the end.
Gilbert and Alice, Benny and Pinky, Andrew and Theresa, Ricky and someone else, Derek To and someone else.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/w5i8ge

heeheee!!! i just got the ATV calender and Chin Pang looks waaaaaaaaaay to good to be paired up with icky Patricia Liu but oh wells!!!! i think his movie about vampires will be coming out early 2007 because the sales presentations always put it second after the Happiest Ten Years. I can't wait!!!!!

he's my #2 male idol~!

he's soooo cute when he was little~! he's sTILL cute now

2 More days until Chin Pang's birthday! I hope he has a happy and relaxing bday this year. Does anyone have any news on him lately? It seems like this thread has been abandoned or quite some time!!

well I guess it's cause most fans goes to his chinese forum where news are usually update just that I can't read them since I don't know how, wish some people could translate his news in english.

It's chin pang's bday! Happy bday chin pang!!

a little late but Happy Birthday to him. How old is he now then?

Just wanted to drop by an dlet everyone know that Jayne finally translated ATV's 2007 sale presentation series summary. Go read it. The new vampire series sounds more convincing then what the poster looked like hopefully the poster isn't official because it doesn't look that good. Didn't expect much when I first looked at the poster but now I'm looking forward to it.

Also really want to watch that series with Pinky and Andrew Yuen, it's similar to TVB's Man's Best Friend but I still want them to film it cause it looks good and lighthearted, ATV rarely has those type of series. Not to mention Pinky and Andrew actually look good together surprisingly.

http://asianfanatics.net/forum/Sneak_Peek_...talk358236.html

Chin Pang is 30, I think. ^^
. . .That doesn't look like Chin Pang is on the poster. . .strange.

Yea he wasn't on the poster that's why I was worried but then after reading the summary my mind is more settle cause his name was mentioned. Hopefully his role isn't a small one. The summary looks very interesting, really hope ATV's gonna film this. They should so film Project Ji Xiang 2, why can't ATV see that a sequel to that would be great, unless Chan 13 the scriptwritter(also Joey Meng's husband), isn't with them anymore and went to mainland to work?

hmm, jessica if you want you can use mdbg.net which is an online chinese dictionary and translate into english and chinese. i use that sometimes when i can't read the chinese.

Is it good cause some translating website aren't that good and doesn't make much sense. I'll try it sometime thanks. Oh by the way I wrote at the feedback section over here suggesting a thread for requesting translations and it went through. So maybe you can go and check it out sometime.
it's at the entertainmentnews section

ATV Shuts Down Artist Department to Save Money

With earlier reductions in staff, ATV has announced it will now shut down its Artist Department. In the last few years, ATV series have suffered in ratings, with no sign of improvement. ATV's new strategy will be decreasing the number of series produced in-house, while focusing on airing import programs. This will lower ATV's operating costs.

Preparing for its initial public offering, ATV has been busy re-organizing its personnel and operations. ATV first announced plans of reducing the number of managed artists and production staff by 67 people in December 2006. It was part of a re-organization strategy to attract new investors. A new subsidiary company, 「亞洲娛樂製作有限公司」, will be set up by ATV to produce new series and programs [but output should decrease from prior years].

When the Artist Department is shut down, some of ATV's artists will be converted to regular employees with set monthly salaries at ATV's subsidiary company. However, many of ATV's artists will not be converting to regular employee status and over 100+ artists may be impacted!

Artists who convert to employee status at the subsidiary company will have set monthly salaries. They will primarily take on hosting jobs for variety programs. However their new monthly employee salaries will be lower than existing income levels as artists.

Under the old method, artists received a base salary and additional income based on the number of shows/ episodes filmed. If an artist exceeded the number of shows/ episodes stipulated in their contract, then they will earn extra income.

Under the new arrangement as regular employees, if they were to take on side jobs in promotions, employees will need to receive ATV's approval first.

ATV's top stars Kenneth Chan Kai Tai and Lau Sek Yin have decided to convert to employee status. Kenneth noted, "I am about to sign the new employee contract with ATV's [subsidiary company] in the next few days. The contract terms are reasonable, as ATV offers enough freedom for us. We can continue to film series outside the company and appear at shows, but the company will take a profit cut."

But would Kenneth's income be lowered under the new employee contract? "The company used a fair method of calculating our salaries. It is above former artist base salaries and below the amount that we earned if the number of shows/ episodes were exceeded. I am satisfied with the new arrangement."

Leading female actresses Pinky Cheung and Kong Mei Yee will not convert to employee status once their artist management contracts expire. Pinky said, "My artist management contract with ATV will expire at the end of February, but I will not sign with them again under an employee contract. Perhaps I will look for a new manager instead!"

Actress Ka Wing decided to stay and sign the new employee contract. "My artist contract will not expire until another 6 months. I like hosting jobs and don't mind if the company takes profit cuts. But I am concerned that under the new employee contract, our income will be impacted. The new contract provisions will have to be carefully discussed."

Teresa Mak Ka Kei said, "My artist contract does not expire until October 2007. Things at ATV are constantly changing. I will let the changes finalize before I make a decision."

according to Jayne, she said that Benny Chan Chin Pang has already signed the new employee contract, the next to sign is Kenneth Chan Kai Tai. I really hope this doesn't mean even less ATV series and less chances of seeing Chin Pang. Can there even be less ATV series than now?

By the way Chin Pang sang the Chinese New Year themesong with some other ATV artists. It's playing at ATV's website rigth now.

He's the first one to sing and then again at the second time around.

That seems like the situation in ATV is very bad for them to go to such drastic changes. Thanx, Jess, for all the updates. I hope that this won't affect Chin Pang's opportunies. I haven't been following much about Chin Pang since there hasn't been much news about him. . .

. . .I was so shock when I heard the song. lol. Have been watching too many taiwanese dramas and variety shows lately and I was not used to listening to cantonese. . .lol. Chin Pang's voice is still so wonderful. I hope we get to see more of him soon. . .wasn't he filming a series in mainland china? Is that done yet. . .I wonder when they will release it overseas.

Chin Pang is very handsome and has a lot of potential both as an actor and as a singer. He has a beautiful voice and acts very well, but he lacks of opportunities. Heard that he bacame in the industry as a singer but his record company closed so his first albun didn't even come out. Hope he'll be luckier in the future.

Hi, is it your first time posting here? Great to have someone else who think he's talented.
Really? a few of his songs were put into a various HK singers album someone bought the cd from yesasia and sent 5 of his old songs to me. He's an even better singer now, really wish he had accepted the offer when the Beyond member asked him if he wanted to release an album but he said he wanted to focus on the mainland market and filming mainland series. I remember the in the article he also said, it was because he has been a singer before and knows it isn't easy and you need to have your own style of singing. If only a music company would sign him. I hope there's still a chance for him to release an album soon or in the future. I'd definitely buy it, would be nice if his old songs would be placed in it as well.

Hi, yes it's the first time I post here. Could you upload the songs you have or send them to me? Thanks a lot! I like his voice very much.

I don't have his songs with me right now so I can't send them to you until spring break which is like two weeks from now.

the links to his old songs except for track 1 still works at
http://bennychanchinpang.tripod.com/ the english site hasn't been updated in a while since Ally's busy. Tell me which songs you've downloaded after going to this site so I'd know which songs to upload for you. Also I've upload most of his clip onto youtube, click on date added for the most recent uploaded clips http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...%B1%95%E9%B5%AC

many links are broken but a few still work. You should check out his hk fan club forum http://www.chinpang.com/bbs/ as well.

Mclisa at his chinese forum is charge of his fan club. There use to be a chinese website but it changed to a forum(the link that I gave you) due to spamming on the mesage board.

I found this great site. You can paste the chinese characters at this website and it'd give you the pinyin and allow you to know how the words sound like in cantonese or mandarin as well as the meaning in english. But it only works with Internet Explorer.
Just go this site and scroll all the way down and you'd see this
Chinese - English Dictionary -->
paste about one line of characters at a time into the search bar because it can't take all of them at once there's a limit.

I'll probably try to translate some ATV news during the Spring Break.

does anyone seen The Concubines of the Quing Emperor?
chinpang and chan ho man were in it as well, kinda boring story if he isn't in it I wouldn't be watching, he is so hot and great acting, go go chin pang

any way you can upload Chin Pang's parts? I was gonna watch it for Chin Pang too but then his role is so small in there and I heard he dies too.

how do you make video clips? hehe, I don't know how...

yeah, I waited for so long then he finally appeared and he was so handsome but then he got beat by his father so much because chinpang was a drug dealer. but then he looks so much better than the two lead actors, ho man and Victor Huang Wei De. I'm kinda regret for watching this because it is so boring and chinpang did not even appear til almost in the middle of the series for like five minutes.

Hey guys,

How has everyone been? Haven't been on this thread for a long while. . .not alot of news of Chin Pang since ATV closed its artist department. How long has The Concubines of the Qing Emperor been out? Maybe someone has already uploaded it, I will try to look for it. Do you guys have the chinese (pinyin) title of the series? . . . . .X_x the work we all go through to catch 5 minutes of Chin Pang. '

I miss Chin Pang's series, haven't seen him in a modern series for so long, any idea what he's been up to? haven't heard much of him in a long time, seems like he's in less ATV functions lately. I wonder if ATV's still promoting him as much. Are they really gonna film that vampire series from the sales presentation?

I'm glad that he's getting quite popular now since he totally deserves it. His acting is awesome and his singing is decent (haven't heard much yet so can't put in overall conlcusion though). Really liked him in CLH with Joey and also his role in MDWAVIII as Hau Kau (my Pin Yin sucks for bear w/ me). He portrays both role really good since the characters are totally different but he carried out really well.
