“Revolving
Heart” is a Mandarin drama produced by local TV station, NTV7. The only reason
I am covering the promotional event is due to Raymond Wong Ho Yin. Raymond has been pretty active in Malaysia
last year, shooting the above mentioned tv series as well as “Show Me Your
Love” (a movie co-starring Nina Paw and Ivana Wong). In fact, I was looking
forward to Raymond’s participation in the movie premiere but there was none in
Malaysia, which is kinda odd. Anyway, a big thank you to NTV7 for inviting Raymond
to take part in the promotional blitz in KL and East Malaysia. Joining Raymond
are local celebs such as Jeffrey Cheng, Debbie Goh, Frederick Lim and a very
annoying NTV7 artiste known as Aaron, whom I absolute hate to the bones…each
time trying his best to steal the limelight with his stupid ass antics. Raymond
initially spoke in Mandarin but asked if he could converse in Cantonese instead
(bystanders roared in approval, of course). I have to say, Raymond’s Mandarin
is not bad at all. Better than I had anticipated. Raymond revealed that he has
a wonderful time working with the local filming crew and it is a challenge to
act in the Mandarin dialect. He wished
he could extend his stay here.
Unfortunately, he is on a tight schedule as he is currently in the midst
of shooting a TVB drama. During the game
session with members of the audience, Raymond picked a little girl as his
partner. However, Raymond was harassed by an overzealous dude during the game
session. The guy asked for not one but at least, 7-8 wefie ! Finally, it caught
the staff’s attention and he was told to quit bugging Raymond. It was
definitely a well- coordinated
event. The media and official
photographers squatted when taking pictures, so as not to block the spectators’
view. To me, it speaks volume of their
professionalism and a gesture that is greatly appreciated. In addition, this is
also a very long session, from 8.30 pm till 10.15 pm ! The shops in the mall
were already closed for business by then! The only downside is having to endure
a torturous 1.45 hour of stinking body odour. It got so bad that my friend had
to leave after less than ½ hour. She told me she is going to pass out and puke
from the pungent rotting carcass smell !
