TVB's "Can't Buy Me Love" to broadcast earlier boosting Charmaine Sheh's popularity for TV Queen

( Scans by: ffidd | Credit: shehsheh.com)

Earlier it was rumored that TVB's two grand productions including Moses Chan, Charmaine Sheh, Linda Chung, Fala Chen, Kenneth Ma and Susanna Kwan's "Can't Buy Me Love" and the highly anticipated Chai Gau, Wayne Lai and 4th Mistress, Sheren Tang's "Rosy Business 2" are scheduled to release as 2010's anniversary series. Last year's "Beyond the Realm of Conscience" released as an anniversary series to boost the popularity, but TVB saw that it still did not fall deep enough into viewers' hearts, so TVB plans to release "Can't Buy Me Love" earlier this year, during the summer season, in hope to boost their biological sons and daughters popularity. After Charmaine's "Beyond" battle with Sheren's "Rosy Business" last year, this year they go at it again. Wonder if "Can't Buy Me Love" early broadcast can successfully help Charmaine gain dominance this year?! "Can't Buy Me Love" producer Miu Siu Ching responded to the rumors, she expressed: "Nothing is confirmed yet, post-production for this series will be completed in July, but TVB is confident on whenever this series broadcasts. I watched the series a few times and I still can't stop laughing. I feel that the cast did very well on the acting. Moses did well, Charmaine can do the crying and the comedy. She really deserves the praises and appreciation. She's really the first line actress among the first line." Actually Fala Chen and Raymond Wong are in both and , to avoid complaints, this schedule is the best strategy.

Jessica Hsuan's evil role in "Sisters of Pearl" unable to shine

Jessica Hsuan and Bowie Lam's TVB series "Sisters of Pearl" has been criticised for having a poor storyline and confusing bickering scenes have not been able to attract viewers. The main focus is Jessica's role, but even though she is portraying a evil role for the first time, unfortunatley it hasn't been a good breakthrough for her.

Can't compare to "War and Beauty"

Since "Sisters of Pearl" aired the audience found it similar to "The Gem of Life". The storyline consists of the same idea such as battling for wealth and selling pearls. "War and Beauty" is the most successful TVB series in the last 10 years for Villain roles. Many factors made it appealing including the Palace scenary, no control over people's fate, sudden deaths, more indepth development with each character. As for "Sisters of Pearl" the quality of the series fails to compare to standards of "War and Beauty". The producers of the series have previously said that each episode of "Pearl" had a climax. However the bickering and battling scenes are not refreshing. The storyline has been poorly developed. In fact the audience can get tired of watching it.

Confusing Characters, Jessica's role unable to shine

The series actually has a very good cast. Bowie Lam and Jessica Hsuan are talented artistes. Even though Michael Tao's popularity has dropped due to recent news reports he still gave his best performance in the series. Joyce Tang plays a supporting role, but in episodes 18-20 she had the most screen time over the main leads.

From Episode 1 Jessica's evil role was highly anticipated. But unfortunately this breakthrough role was disappointing. Other Villains include Kiki Sheung and Bowie Lam. Jessica's evilness had not reached a certain level and the main purpose for plotting was to protect her son. After epsiode 17, she had less scenes. The main focus switched towards Joyce and Kiki. In all honesty Jessica's acting talent can play any evil role created for her. But the Producers and script writers should have focused on the development of her role abit more.

"Jade Solid Gold"’s low ratings are not due to the royalties dispute?

TVB’s music program "Jade Solid Gold" is breaking records – lowest rating records that is. With overall ratings of only 10 points, how much of this is due to the ban on artists from the Big 4 record companies? As a result of the royalties dispute with TVB, majority of the Big 4 record companies’ artists have appeared on ATV’s and i-Cable’s music programs, however it doesn’t seem like this helped those stations’ ratings at all.

The real reason for the dismal ratings – which everyone is well aware of deep down – is because fewer and fewer people (specifically HK audiences) are concerned about the local music industry anymore.

In reality, ‘countdown’ programs similar to "Jade Solid Gold" are also put on by local radio stations every week – it is unclear how many people tune in to listen to the radio station music countdowns every week and very few people actually talk about it – so it seems that the only ones concerned are the record companies and the singers themselves.

Music programs and the music industry itself are very closely intertwined – when the music industry is lively and bustling and a singer’s popularity soars, music programs benefit from increased audience viewership (or more audiences tuning in for radio programs). With the industry in a slump, "Jade Solid Gold"’s drop in ratings won’t just be a ‘one-time occurrence’ – it will just be a matter of time before the ratings drop past the ‘dire straits’ level.

Indeed, for a powerhouse station like TVB – who is used to seeing high ratings due to its dominance – 10 points in ratings is definitely scary. If this continues, there is a high probability that "Jade Solid Gold" will be moved from TVB’s ‘golden hour’ timeslot. With its experience, TVB knows how to play the ratings game – it’s not a difficult task for them at all, so their variety show department heads most likely already know what next steps they need to take. Since TVB’s other variety shows have good ratings, it makes sense that if they reduce the amount of music-related material and increase the ones with higher ratings, then more audiences may tune in. It seems obvious….

TVB’s ban on the Big 4 record companies’ artists has resulted in the same artists (mostly their own contracted singers and those from EEG – with whom they have a close relationship) appearing on "Jade Solid Gold" week after week. True, this has weakened "JSG"’s power and standing in the music industry, but to be honest, it does not have a huge impact on the ratings. Most audiences who watch TV programs usually do so for leisure and for the entertainment factor – other outside ‘factors’ could influence why some audiences don’t watch, but are less common.

To give an example: even with the ‘plagiarism controversy’ surrounding TVB’s currently airing series "Mysteries of Love", not only have the ratings not been effected at all, more and more audiences are tuning in to watch, pushing the ratings to 31 points just in the last week. This proves that most audiences are not effected by issues of originality or negative criticism related to shows they want to watch.

With "JSG", the biggest problem contributing to the low ratings is that the content of the show is not attractive to most audiences. Honestly, having some artists go up on stage and sing live week after week only ‘entertains’ a small fraction of the audience – primarily the fans of that particular artist. In comparisons, having ordinary people compete and ‘out-sing’ each other – as they do in "The Voice" -- is much more attractive to audiences.

The fact that audiences want to watch a singing competition more than a music program demonstrates how disappointed most people are with the current state of the HK music industry.

In watching a singing competition, at least there are professional judges present who will give constructive criticism when someone sings poorly. With "JSG" however, when an artist goes on the show and sings poorly, the ‘fans’ down below will still “wave their banners and scream loudly” – so how compelled will audiences be to watch then? Perhaps they should have judges go on "JSG" and start ‘critiquing’?

Ah Jeh Gets Mad, 3 'Gods' Support Rumor Isn't True

TVB's "Fun With Liza and Gods" has been having good ratings, and popularity of the three gods rises as well. But host Liza Wang (Ah Jeh)'s singing segment is criticized by netizens and opened groups to request Ah Jeh stop singing. Lately a magazine reported the show plans to have a second season in September and Ah Jeh would be replaced by Elvina Kong.

Yesterday Ah Jeh and the three gods Wong Cho Lam, Louis Yuen, Johnson Lee were recording fo "Fun With Liza and Gods." Ah Jeh was asked whether she would be out from season two since she's always criticized by netizens, and Elvina would replace her? She said: "I don't know about this rumor. Netizens have been criticizing me since I got married, can't see too much, don't know what type of thinking is that, I won't mind. It's not confirmed to do season two yet, have to ask producer. If company arranges, will definitely do it."

Louis also doesn't believe in that rumor, and supports Ah Jeh: "Who said that? Ah Jeh's character is very valuable, can balance many things. Without her, how can there be 'Fun With Liza and Gods,' I didn't receive an notification that Elvina would replace Ah Jeh, she's currently doing 'Super Trio Game Master.'"

As for the report, producer Ho Siu Wai felt ridiculous. They didn't begin talking about season two. She said earlier company once thought of doing 20+ episodes in season one, but because some artistes have to film series and have other jobs, it's hard to schedule, so can only do 15 episodes. Although they brought up about season two, but nothing is confirmed. Whether they would include the original cast including Ah Jeh in season two? Ho said she doesn't even know whether she's the producer or not by then, most importantly have to look at everyone's schedule. She felt the report is not factual and has an aim. The show is a show to bring happiness to everyone, but negative reports upset everyone, which isn't good.

Yesterday besides impersonating commercial characters in "Fun With Liza and Gods," they show also invited Skye Chan and Justin Lo as performing guests. When they were taking group photo before the show, Justin didn't show up on time. Ah Jeh joked he won't show up unless with a cap. When he finally showed up with a Chinese pavilion cap, Ah Jeh teased him again: "Your cap today isn't good!" Justin felt embarrassed immediately.

Ada Choi refuses to share marriage life

Ada Choi and good sister Athena Chu both attended the "Evangelism" dress rehearsal. Ada revealed life with her church friends and shared her experience with God. Asked why she didn't share her marriage life? Ada smiled: "I only have 2 years experience, others have 30 years of experience. (Then you can share your newly wed life experience!) I'll share with you in private! I will talk about my life changes, life experiences and topics about God."

Athena Chu emotionally regretted the "struggle in the light, fight in the dark" in the entertainment circle. There are many times where others were hurt because someone wanted to fight for fame. Asked if someone gave her a loose elbow? She said: "loose elbow is not a big deal. Many times people in Mainland and Hong Kong grow up differently, think differently in terms of work."

Charlene Choi and Li Bing Bing fights to kiss Louis Koo

The film "Triple Trap" directed by Derek Lee is schedule to release in July. In the movie, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu's many gun shooting scenes are full of flavor. Louis was also arranged to be romantically connected with both Charlene Choi and Li Bing Bing. Louis smiled and said that he's not sure if the director knew Daniel got married, so he deliberately did not arrange any love relationships for him, ending his fate with beautiful women.

In the movie, Ah Sa and Li Bing Bing's roles both fights for Louis. Ah Sa plays a nurse who is soft inside and tough outside, which is very different from Li Bing Bing's tough policewoman role. She said that for every scene, the director had to explain her character's emotions, giving her a good experience on acting.
