Love Thy Neighbour – It’s raining Xia Yu
Upcoming Sept drama Love Thy Neighbour 四个门牌一个梦 also features an actor among actors, a veteran among veterans, Mr Ha Yu 夏雨大哥!
The 65-year old has spent the last 44 years in show business, with his last iconic role being 甘泰祖 (the father) in <溏心风暴之家好月圆>. That role left a huge impression on viewers, and won him a Best Actor award in 2008′s Hong Kong TVB awards. I can only imagine how difficult it is to have a breakthrough when you have been in the business for 40+ years, but he did it!
During his imaging for Love Thy Neighbour today, he revealed that he has always played the 好男人 in his dramas. He was very excited by his role this time, as 王大发! Wang Da Fa is a 江湖佬, who is witty and humourous but he is very 贪小便宜 and addicted to gambling.
Don’t think there’s anyone else who can handle this role with as much charm and skill! What kind of sparks will fly between him and his ‘daughter’ Felicia Chin?
Today’s imaging also saw 洪慧芳, who obviously plays his wife and Felicia’s mother. (Felicia says HELLO from her tummy!)
We also headed down to a temple last week to begin the first day of filming. 开镜咯!
Felicia looking freshfaced and Shaun looking fit!
Sora Ma 马艺瑄 with her angmoh boyfriend Michael! (who speaks awesome Chinese, btw)
Ng Hui 黄慧 and Cavin Soh 苏智诚 play a happy family with their kid, a 古灵精怪的小胖子!
Cavin: Wah sweat man!
We also have Ah Tak and Vivian playing a couple from Guang Zhou! Check out Tak Gor’s 戏服, it’s exactly what he would wear to work on a normal day!
Huat ah!
Love Thy Neighbour 四个门牌一个梦 debuts 27 September, weeknights 9pm on Ch 8!

陈靓瑄到北京交流 欲发展异国恋？
陈靓瑄回巢主演新剧，感叹大学暑期北京交流活动时间太短，要不然就有机会发展异国恋！
陈靓瑄回巢主演新剧，感叹大学暑期北京交流活动时间太短，要不然就有机会发展异国恋！
新传媒前艺人陈靓瑄去年重返校园后，让喜爱她的影迷大叹可惜，之后，她在学校假期抽空12天，为U频道拍摄原创影片《爱情折扣》。
这次，陈靓瑄趁着3个月的学校假期，决定投身8频道新剧《四个门牌一个梦》。
陈靓瑄日前为该剧做造型，接受xinmsn专访时说，刚接到剧本，由于想先确定拍摄进度不会影响课业，故没有立刻答应参演剧集。
但，她也表示，粉丝对她的想念和期待，让她也很期盼再拍戏。
陈靓瑄在《四个门牌一个梦》饰演王天胡，从小在父亲王大发（夏雨 饰）的耳濡目染下，继承了他的"优良血统"，到处招摇撞骗、骗吃骗喝。
首次与香港资深演员夏雨合作的陈靓瑄兴奋表示，非常期待这次的合作，"因为夏雨的演技很真实，感觉上不像是在演戏"，并称这是个很好的机会。
北京朋友以为她不到20岁
《四个门牌一个梦》讲述一层大楼里，几户来自不同国家和背景的家庭。这和陈靓瑄之前随学校一同到北京大学参加暑期交流活动，与来自不同国家的学生进行文化交流的经验相同。
陈靓瑄说："我起初很担心沟通上会不会有问题，因为不同国家的人聚在一起，又有各自的文化，但开始做团体作业的时候，大家都疯了！"
她解释，那是因为外国朋友学的第一个名词竟然是"啤酒"，还一直嚷着要"一瓶啤酒"！
陈靓瑄还跟记者分享，交流会上结交的朋友都以为她还不到20岁，一位19岁的同学认为陈靓瑄长得很像自己的妹妹，竟然跟她说，"那我叫你'妹'好了！" 让陈靓瑄不知道是要觉得尴尬还是开心。
此外，陈靓瑄透露，交流会里的学生都不知道她其实是个演员，因此她非常享受这次交流与交友的机会。
当这些新朋友得知她的工作后，除了要求跟她合照、拿签名外，他们还告诉她，"要对自己的工作引以为荣"。
异国恋？不够时间！
现在只忙于学业的陈靓瑄，手头上多了一点时间，是否有让她想谈一场恋爱的冲动呢？
她犹豫了一下，说："嗯，如果在北京的时间长一点的话，或许会发生什么 ... 但现在没有啦。"
陈靓瑄继续笑说，其实自己和学校里的男生还算处得来，但和他们说话时，或许因为年龄上的差异，所以感觉比较像是他们的导师，常常与他们分享她的工作经验。
虽然如此，但她还是有一个印象特别深刻的校园回忆。
陈靓瑄忆述："开学的第一天，有位男生将我画成日本漫画人物，让我觉得很sweet。现在很少男生会这样做吧？"
考试成绩刚刚放榜，问及陈靓瑄在大学的第一年考得如何时，她说："我的平均分数还蛮健康的，有A也有B。"
从陈靓瑄的语气，听得出来她有一点小失望。
她接着道："我觉得应该还可以在考好一点的。"
将参与《明星志工队》拍摄
喜欢陈靓瑄的影迷今年会有很多机会，可以在电视上看到这位新传媒的前公主。在《四个门牌一个梦》正式开镜之前，陈靓瑄将远赴泰国为资讯节目《明星志工队》进行拍摄。
陈靓瑄表示，她认为这次的拍摄会相当有趣，因为以往都是在帮助别人，这次却是要和大象保育协会合作，有机会和大象接触。
《明星志工队》的拍摄将为期6天，之后陈靓瑄就会投身《四个门牌一个梦》了。
《四个门牌一个梦》将在9月27日晚上9点通过8频道播出。

Felicia Chin returns to headline new Ch8 drama
Taking time off from showbiz to hit the books has proved to be a good break for Felicia Chin who returns to local TV looking more cheery and upbeat than ever.
She promised to be back when she bade goodbye in July last year. True to word, Felicia Chin is jumping at almost every opportunity presented to her to meet with local TV viewers -- that is if her schedule permits.
Looking fresh and young with her stylish short crop at the imaging session for Love Thy Neighbour, the Felicia standing before us today reminded us of a 20-year-old budding showbiz newbie rather than a 27-year-old actress with seven years of experience in the industry.
Even the director and drama's executive producer Winnie Hong echoed our sentiments and remarked on Felicia's "different look in her eyes" and the "innocent vibes" emitted by the latter.
Perhaps her return to school has simplified the life of the former full-time actress and allowed her to catch up on a chapter of schooling life she never got to fully savour.
She thoughtfully commented, "Being away from the industry for one year, I think my thoughts have maybe changed a little, like what the director and the rest are saying 'I see something different in your eyes'."
In Love Thy Neighbour, Felicia will be starring as the spunky Wang Tian Hu alongside veteran actor, Ha Yu, as they play a pair of father and daughter who goes round conning others. The drama also stars Shaun Chen, Aileen Tan, Huang Wenyong and Vivian Lai.
At the interview with xinmsn yesterday, Felicia spoke with a raspy voice, still recovering from a bout of flu. The bubbly one shared that she had just returned from a two-week overseas summer programme with Peking University.
When asked about the most memorable incident that happened to her in China, she gleefully chuckled, "Oh, they all thought that I was below 20 years old!"
There was also a Chinese guy who baffled Felicia with his words when he "decided to call me his 'mei' (younger sister in Chinese) cos he said I looked like his younger sister -- and he's 19 years old."
While Felicia's overseas classmates weren't aware of her star-studded past, which allowed her to "thoroughly enjoy the process of making friends", she did not know how they got wind of her acting days during her second week in Peking University.
So were there any requests for autographs and pictures?
"They were like ehh 'Come on superstar, give me an autograph'. But that's about all lah," Felicia recalled.
"They were quite nice 'cos I was saying I don't want people to have the pre-notion of who I am, I just want to make friends and they said 'Oh it's cool. You should be proud of what you do'," she shared.
Looking more svelte than ever, the former Star Search 2003 winner seemed to have lost quite a bit of weight since we last saw her and jokingly attributed it to possible factors such as her "hair cut" and even "the stairs in NUS" where she is pursuing a degree in Business.
With more time on her hands now that she's no longer a full-time artiste, has she met her Mr. Right on campus?
"Given more time in Beijing, maybe something might happen," the cheeky lass quipped in jest.
On a more serious note, she explained, "I mean, I can talk to the guys in school. But it's more like a mentor kind of [relationship] because there's a little age difference and sometimes I share with them my work experience. So it's more of a sharing session than a romantic conversation."
Currently on a "very packed" three-month long vacation, she will be spending her holidays filming the upcoming Ch8 drama series, Love Thy Neighbour and the info-ed programme, Stars for a Cause in an elephant conservatory in Thailand.
