TVB received 8 Complaints due to "Moonlight Resonance" being stopped for 1 day

TVB received 8 Complaints due to "Moonlight Resonance" being stopped for 1 day

TVB stopped broadcasting one episode of TV series "Moonlight Resonance" yesterday because of the Beijing Olympic's China VS Cuba women's volleyball match going over time. TVB continued to broadcast "When a Dog loves a Cat" and stopped "Moonlight Resonance".

Unfortunately TVB assistant director of public relations Tsang Shing Ming claimed that he had received 8 complaints. He said "actually the match was expected to finish at 9PM but in the end it went over time. Also because "When a Dog loves a Cat" is ending this week that's why we decided to stop broadcasting "Moonlight Resonance" for a day. The Olympics is only broadcasted every 4 years and we hope the audience will understand". Some netizen's stated that it would have been better to stop broadcasting "When a Cat loves a Dog" since the ratings are average. But there were also people who agreed with the decision.

TVB new drama series " King Of Pool' was having a blessing ceremony yesterday. The whole cast Adam, Niki Chow, Joyce Tang, Derek kwok and Benz Hung were all there. Rumored couple Joyce and Derek were target for conversation as usual. When pictures were taken, Adam told everyone Joyce was untouchable.

Adam and daughter Joyce had been busy working for TVB series. They should have time to meet up for meals. Adam asked his assistant to keep an eye on Joyce's working schedule. Theses day they have been communicating through SMS. Adam said his daughter is very independent. Nowadays, young people don't like lecturing. In particular, a father who has always got the negative publicity would give the media a chance to create a lot of gossips. He doesn't take much notice of such gossips.

Although Joyce Tang and Derek Kwok have been teased by the cast, they took no notice of them. They still took pictures together side by side. Asked if their love story has surfaced, Joyce said she needs a lover to surface and she is not dating at the moment. Speaking of the attempted burglary at Joyce's house the other day, Joyce told reporters she heard a strange noise at her front door. She screamed her head off. That had frightened the hell out of the thief who then ran away. The door knob was damaged. Reporters asked if she had called Derek for help. Joyce said she had called the police. It was suggested she needs a man in the house. Joyce said her father had been staying there sometimes.

Raymond Lam & Vincy Chan : Nervous when singing duet


Raymond Lam & Vincy Chan: Nervous when singing duet

Last night, Raymond and Vincy were guest performers at TVB8's music event. Mandarin was the main language of conversation at the event. Raymond's Mandarin was just as fluent as Vincy's. He expressed that 10 years ago, he was once a host for a Mandarin program, so being paired up with Vincy to sing a new Mandarin duet was not a hard task for him. However, the pair has just received the lyrics for the song last week. Last night was the first time that the pair sang their new song publicly. Even though they've already memorized the lyrics very well, they were still very nervous, afraid that they would forget everything once they were on stage. This is the first time that Raymond and Vincy collaborated with each other. That night they wore matching outfits, consisting of knee-high pants. Revealing his hairy legs, Raymond stole the limelight.

Aaron smiled and said that "Fantasy" means that whether it is on appearance or feeling that is portrayed, they will bring a very different Fahrenheit onto the stage

In the past, Fahrenheit have separately filmed many idol dramas and movies, sparking a lot of rumors with various female stars. Earlier, when they were in Hong Kong for promotions, they were asked who do they most "fantasize" about. Chun thought for a long time before saying Vivian Chow. He said, "The first concert I ever went to was Vivian's concert in Singapore. At the time, I also rode in the elevator lift with her and then after that, I began to notice her more. I even have her idol card." Jiro said that he likes Kelly Chen’s voice, and that when he found out she was getting married, he had offered her his congratulations. And as for Aaron, initially he had a crush on Rainie Yang, but now he says that he has grown up and finds Angelina Jolie very attractive.

Fahrenheit has been busy with their solo careers in the past, Aaron smiled and said he is very happy that Fahrenheit can finally hold a concert together, to prove their singing skills. They hope that everyone will give them their support. Chun said, "This time there is a lot of pressure, we know that our management company has put in a lot of money for this concert so we must try our best to do a good job!"
