Raymond Lam not talking about Linda Chung, afraid Tavia Yeung jealous

Because TVB series <The Mysteries of Love> plagiarized Japanese drama <Detective Galileo> too much, the issue even caught the Japanese media attention and criticisms from the Japanese Netizens. Yesterday a celebration party for the series was held in Olympian City. Lead actors Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung and Kenneth Ma attended to celebrate the series reaching 850,000 hits online.

Regarding to the plagiarism, Raymond said that he has looked at the Japanese websites and that actually the rumors went from Hong Kong to Japanese. Increasing popularity in Japan, does he feel honored? He smiled and said that he will think more about this because TVB series are getting more popular in Korea. He said: “Hong Kong’s martial art films are already very popular in other countries.”

With the opening of the World Cup, Raymond frankly said that the TV ratings have been affected, he said: “because tonight at 10pm, there will be a game, the episode ends at 10:30pm, I’m afraid we may lose some viewers at 10.” Towards rumored girlfriend Linda Chung saying he has ‘prince illness’? He quickly pulled female lead Tavia into the water: “What, there’s no topics? I’m afraid Tavia might get jealous.”

Tavia said that she’s not afraid the World Cup will affect the ratings. She said that the series have many loyal housewife fans supporting and they don’t watch the World Cup? Regarding the plagiarism rumors that in the series Raymond copies the action of Masaharu Fukuyama from <Detective Galileo>? Tavia said: “I haven’t watched <Galileo> before, but Raymond Lam is Raymond Lam. He has his own actions, no need to copy others. I am not Shibasaki Kou either.”

TVB new series “Mysteries of Love” is criticized by netizens for copying Japanese drama “Galileo.” But “Mysteries of Love”s rating wasn’t affected and its first episode had average ratings of 32 points. Yesterday the series held a celebration event. Raymond Lam and Tavia stressed they didn’t copy anything. Raymond supported the plot is original. Tavia believed romance lines are richer than the original.

Raymond said: “Drama genres are always those few. Our plot is original. Before filming, people already said we copied, most importantly, every character has a different way of portraying, viewers like it.” Watched the Japanese original version? “No, won’t watch original or edited versions in general, otherwise the acting will have others’ shadow. We have to create our own, including ‘A Step Into The Past’ earlier, now producers don’t encourage us to watch, because the story is different.”

Tavia said when they started filming people already said they copied. Although she never watch the Japanese version, but she doesn’t feel anything was copied, plus the romance lines between the leads in “Mysteries of Love” are richer. Afraid being boycott by netizens? She said: “No, people already said it’s similar on the first day.”

Tavia, who almost became cross-eyed in TVB drama Beyond the Realm Of conscience, wish to continue challenging evil roles, in a modern series.

After receiving the “My Favorite Female Character” award based on the evil role in [Beyond], Tavia wants to continue challenging evil roles, but in a different way, this time in a modern series. She has not been to Malaysia to publicize for a long time. After the major role in [Beyond], she hopes to take on a lighter one, because the costumes in [Beyond] are too heavy. She needs to relax, or else she will turn cross-eyed!

Why cross-eyed? Cheeky Tavia demonstrated how her eyes looked when she is angry, exactly as venomous as Gam Ling, yet got everyone laughing!

A major role will always receive both good and bad comments. When asked about how she regards the negative comments, she humbly replied: “Only with criticisms, will there be improvement. If everybody praises you, you cannot see your faults.”

Love triangle with Steven Ma
Tavia has a healthy image, and is only busy with filming dramas, but she hopes to find time to film a movie. She will be involved in a love triangle with Steven Ma and Michael Tse in the drama [Cupid Stupid], and will be talking more about horoscope. When asked if Tavia believes in horoscope, she replied: “I will read, but do not really care about the daily predictions.” Tavia likes to know herself better: “I prefer reading about horoscope personality and compatibility; sometimes I believe in the predictions too, it is quite accurate!” Currently, she is involved in a series involving obsessions (her first time), but she is not the one with the obsession.”

Clarify that Michael did not pass the ulcer
Tavia clarified that Michael was not the source of the ulcer, when they filmed a kissing scene in the drama [The Morning of Flying Fish in Hanami]. “He is innocent. My body was ‘heaty’ hence there was an ulcer; it had nothing to do with Michael. I passed the ulcer to him instead; it was a joke when I said that he passed to me!”

Endorser of Asia
Endorser of H2O+ for 2 concurrent years, Tavia mentioned that she liked “Body Silk” (product of H2O+) because it has both moisturizing cream and bathing lotion. Applying it on the tail end of her hair, it would have multiple benefits. She has already bought the H2O+ products in Malaysia, waiting to use it when she is back in Hongkong. As to whether she will continue to endorse for the third year, Tavia, who has a glib tongue, looked at her boss and replied:” Of course I will continue, right?” Tavia hopes she can endorse for the whole Asian market and not Malaysia alone.
