"Line Walker"- Louis Koo Meet The Fans使徒行者》電影-馬來西亞宣傳- Louis Koo 古天樂 - 5th August 2016 (E-Curve)

The big screen adaption of TVB’s 2014 hit drama, “Line Walker” is set to hit the local cinema circuit on August 11. Louis Koo was at E-Curve mall for the one and only meet and greet session in Malaysia, the second promo stopover after Shanghai. The enormous fans turn-up heats up the entire mall with their enthusiasm.  Everyone was armed with cell phones, tablets and cameras…their eyes never leaving the  the red carpet area.   Clearly, audiences are eager to catch a glimpse of Mr Kool and highly anticipates the release of the movie version which stars A-listers such as Charmaine Sheh, Nick Cheung, Francis Ng, Louis Koo, the Korean hot babe, Clara Lee, Benz Hui and an array of familiar TVB faces. The stage set-up is flawed though coz there are bar tables placed right in front of the stage, where guests/media/bloggers/contest winners congregated. Bar table/cocktail reception is inappropriate for movie premiere/promotion. It only serves to obstruct the view of fans who wanted to see Louis in-person so badly. Jazz Boon (who produced the drama) directs this action packed flick. Glaringly missing from the cast is central figures like Raymond Lam and Michael Miu Kiu Wai.  One lucky fan got to take a selfie with Louis. Louis revealed after returning to HK, he will be tied-up with the promotional activities for “Call of Heroes” (coincidently, his co-stars Eddie Peng and Lau Ching Wan would be in KL next week).

"Wellness On The Go 4" ( 星級健康4 之Go Green 碳世界)- meet and greet at Watsons Sunway Pyramid- Elaine Yiu, Katy Kung, Moon Lau and Lai Lok Yee (姚子羚, 龚嘉欣, 黎諾懿, 劉佩玥) - 15th June 2016

Principal shooting for “ Wellness On The Go” wraps up this month.  The season finale will be airing on July 17^th and 24^th at 8.30 pm on Astro Jade and WLT/HD (310 and 311 channels). The fourth instalment boosted a staggering 16 hosts, obviously trying to end the series on the highest of notes.   Four presenters have been assigned to each episode, with new faces such as Owen Cheung,  Gloria Tang, William Chak, Eliza Sam, Matt Yeung and Hugo Wong joining the line-up.  The theme is nothing new, which is “Go Green”….preaching the usual recycling and save the earth mantra. 

Elaine Yiu, Moon Lau, Lai Lok Yi and Katy Kung were in Selangor and Pahang to film the last segment of the program, briefly joined by Nancy Wu as the special guest star.  Natalie Tong also appeared in the press conference held at Lui Farm.  Elaine Yiu is the only artiste who had hosted the show since season 1 till 4.  Nancy was in Season 1 to 3 but in the fourth chapter, it’s only a cameo appearance.  Nevertheless, Nancy is thankful that  she has the chance to participate in the “Wellness”  journey for the past four years.     

The number of episodes have been shortened to only four, hopefully packing more punch to the storyline. Elaine, Moon, Lok Yi and Katy later turned-up at the meet and greet session at Watsons Sunway Pyramid. I am surprised that Moon Lau has a bunch of young lads supporting her with placards at the function.  Lai Lok Yi is fast becoming a familiar figure in Malaysia, having just appeared in Penang, Melaka and KL last month for the Dragon Boat (Tuen Ng) festival special, along with Sharon Chan.

Katy, Lok Yi and Elaine are obviously pretty tight.  Lok Yi was seen wrapping his arms around them and laughing/whispering non-stop throughout the occasion. 15^th June also happens to be Lok Yi’s big day and Watsons surprised him with a birthday cake. His birthday wish is to be a daddy soon.   Katy accidently cuts her finger during the game session but the ever attentive Lok Yi immediately showed his caring side by helping Katy bandaged her wound.  The four shared that they were at the elephant sanctuary to help bathe the elephants, visited red mangrove, spent time at organic farms, had a taste of eating raw corns and of course, binging on the sinful durians (the obscenely costly musang king species).   One thing noticeable from the start of the season till now is that all the TVB artistes genuinely had fun shooting the program.  This also happens to be Elaine’s first filming assignment after lying low for almost 6 months (accidently bitten by her pet dog, Tung Tung). It is rather unfortunate the doggy incident occurred right after she had clinched the best supporting actress award.    Both Katy and Elaine will be back to our shores in July to shoot “All Things Girls – Malaysia version”. I wished that the new season of "All Things Girls" will have a different format. Honestly, last year's was quite boring.  Deep down, I know now is the right time to end the much acclaimed "Wellness on the Go" with a bang.  Somehow, my heart still feels heavy…probably concerned that I will have less personal encounter with my fave stars.  Hopefully, both TVB and Astro would put together a fresh and gripping unconventional infotainment program soon. Seriously, if an avid TVB supporter like me has become extremely picky in the TVB dramas I watch and prefers to indulge in American dramas, it’s time TVB pulls up its socks.  Shallow plot and recycling annoying Sisley Choi and Grace Chan over and over again are bound to drive audiences away and soon, even the loyal group of “si nai” (auntie audience) will throw-in the towel.
