Amigo Chui Steps Down From On-Screen, Virginia Lok Suggests

Amigo Chui's appearance on "Jade Solid Gold" last month could be his last on-screen appearance.

Once a successful artist, the 2007 "TVB Anniversary Most Improved Actor" winner has encountered events that greatly ruined his image. He was accused of allegedly beating his girlfriend in 2009, and finally returned to work in mid-2010. But several months later, he was accused of allegedly drunk-driving and driving during license suspension.

With negative news hitting on him, the 31-year-old doesn't have much jobs to do; but his contract with TVB won't end until a few years later. Now TVB executive Virginia Lok is suggesting him to step down and tries working behind-the-screen.

"We've talked on the phone and discussed about future plans. He is talented, but he affected himself. To be honest, his glamous life won't return in a short period of time. He is still young, maybe he can try working behind-the-screen," she said.

Lok expressed it's not like the company isn't giving him any chance, it's important whether audiences accept him or not.

"If audiences don't accept him, even if we arrange him to work, people might complain and that would actually affect him more."

As for Lok's suggestion, Chui expressed he needs time to think about it. The two will meet again next week to discuss more about the matter.

Male Private Part Exposed in '7 Days in Life'?

TVB drama "7 Days in Life" might have ended this Friday, but netizens still cannot forget that one scene in episode 15.

The drama begins with the kidnap of a young boy, who is the son of Wonderful Harbour Hotel's CEO. One of the kidnappers, portrayed by Patrick Tang, is quarantined in the hotel with the boy as one of the hotel guests is diagnosed with H1N1.

Later in the drama, head of the kidnappers, portrayed by Joseph Lee Kwok Keung, goes into the hotel and tries to bring the boy out. In episode 15, Lee is seen stepping out from the shower with only a towel around the hips. He gets mad when he sees the boy's hands are untied and he tries to hit him. Tang's helper Mimi Lo tries to protect the boy away from Lee, and at one point, she takes away Lee's towel, leaving Lee only a small face towel to cover his private part.

Netizens suspects Lee actually exposed his private part in that scene. However, Lee denied, promising he absolutely did not expose his private part to the audiences.

"I was wearing underwear and shorts," he said. "But I'm glad people believe I was being naked in that scene. That means it was well done."

The tiny shadow on the wall is why netizens are discussing the incident so enthusiastically. In fact, it was only the shadow of Lee's finger when he was holding the towel. Definitely a "beautiful misunderstanding."

It is Julian Cheung (Chilam) and Myolie Wu's first collaboration in TVB series The Rippling Blossom. They play a joyful bickering couple. Unexpectedly, the two not only bickers on-screen, but even continues to off-screen. Chilam said he hopes to be a female role next time and ask Bosco Wong to be the boyfriend. Myolie immediately refuted, she said that she wants to be in a male role to fight with Chilam for Anita Yuen! 

Chilam expressed that Rippling is the first series he plays a madly hilarious role. He said: "The role this time is exceptional. Comedies I have done before, but this is the first time that it's madly hilarious. In the series, I'm often day dreaming, there was one scene where we had to wear ancient costumes to do one of my day dreaming scenes. This is something that makes people really happy. Also this is my first time working with Myoile, it was really fun, we discuss and solve problems together." Myolie, who was sitting besides him immediately complained, she joked that there was basically no discussing leeway at all. She said: "He has too many sudden and unexpected hilarious moments that I couldn't resist. I was surprised on how rich his comedic skills were. He reacts fast, and usually I can't keep up with him. During our collaboration, I have always thought Chilam was just pretending to be a serious person, but when we were shooting in Japan, he completely unmasked himself. He can be so playful, it's crazy. He's a really naughty big kid." As for Chilam, he praised that Myolie is a professional actress, and said he's a fan of hers. He laughed: "I watched her series before, like A Chip Off The Block and To Grow With Love. Myolie is different from the average artist, she is willing to sacrifice and devote herself. This spirit is well worth the encouragement and praise." 

Flip roles to fight for other half

It's been several years since Chilam been in a TVB series, he frankly said he feels it's handy and hopes to shoot different types of series to satisfy his craving. He said: "Before when I was shooting in Mainland, I had to speak in Mandarin. This time I can finally say my lines in Cantonese again, feels like a 'fish back in the water' (glad to be back in familiar surrounding). If there is an opportunity, I hope to have a fresh new character. I want to be a woman, a woman with a good body figure. (Who is going to be the lead actor?) Bosco Wong! Try both." Myolie immediately said to him: "I also want to be a man, for my co-star of course Anita Yuen, fight with you for her!" 

Announcing relationship, no need to be evasive 

Myolie hopes that in the future, she can collaborate with Chilam again. She believes that they can give off a different spark. She said: "Another collaboration will definitely be even better. This time, I adapted to his style of 'don't care about other people's feelings'. In our future collaboration, it will be even more natural and have more chemistry. Next time, he's going to be a woman, then let me be the man. I hope audience will like the 'Cheung-Wu' combination." Myolie also told Chilam to share his feelings when he announced his relationship back in the day. Chilam felt that it's not necessary to be too evasive, the audience now are very accepting. He said: "Just like Kimura Takuya who has two daughters, and still just as popular. He's the Number 1 male star in Japan. I have a son too, and still there are people who appreciate my acting and singing." So will Myolie copy Chilam and announce her relationship with long time rumored boyfriend Bosco? Myolie laughed: "If have one then I'll announce!"
