Kenneth Ma & Tavia Yeung Leads Newcomers in New Series '36 Hour On Call'

      This year TVB is determined to train newcomers into shooting series. Besides the sequel to Triumph in the Skies using newcomers, Producer Poon Ka Tak is planning to cast newcomers for heavier roles in his new doctor series 36 Hours On Call. The series is temporarily set for Kenneth Ma and Tavia Yeung for the leading roles. 

     It was said that TVB hopes to speed up the training on the new generation FaDan and Siu Sangs in the next half year to handle the demands of the future series. Not only does TVB plan to select newcomers from the acting class, but also recruit new talents from other areas to join in on the plan to promote newcomers. The group of newcomers will not only have the opportunity to shoot series, but also be arranged to enter the movie industry and shoot movies. TVB hopes to boost them into fame in the shortest amount of time. Like The Voice singer Mag Lam, TVB gave her several opportunities to develop in different areas. She is currently the one artist that will surely be well-known and considered as one example of TVB's success in promoting newcomers.

WARNING: This is just a random rant, so you guys don't have to read it, and instead just enjoy the news.

WTH? They just had 3K, and now TVB wants them in the same series again??? Please change the cast... not only do I not like the Kenneth-Tavia pairing, but who cares about newcomers? Why can't TVB just be content with the people they have now? We all know that none of the new MHK, Mr. HKs or especially Mag Lam will be any good at acting, so why try forcing them down viewers' throats?

EDIT: Hm okay, wow thank you Kenneth for confirming that you and Tavia will really film this. AGH. I'm just hoping that since TVB is so...TVB, they'll at least put Fred in this. I mean, if they make Fred a high school student after so many years, they can make him a medical intern. But then again, it takes around ten years to become a doctor, so he's around the correct age anyways. And preferably they have Oscar too. Plus Jason and Him. You know what, how about TVB have no female newcomers, cause I don't really like any of them, except Katy, if you still count her as a newcomer.

{other} Rant

Ugh I feel like I need to vent out somewhere, on both what happened to Raymond and about Return to the Three Kingdoms.

I'm pretty sure most of you guys have already read/heard about it, but if not, here's the link: Article

Okay, so I'm disappointed. Not disappointed in Raymond (he's a normal guy, you can't blame him. In fact a lot of guys are way worse than him...), but in his "fans" and his ex. First of all, I can't bring myself to reply to some of these so called fans' posts. Do you really think that girl is a sweetie? Okay, I'm sure that she must have at least one good point (cause Raymond did like her at some point in time), but she freaking took pictures of him while he was asleep and unaware. And I'm pretty sure she leaked them out to get more press and get more jobs. Really, if somebody did that to you would you still call them sweet? Just because she's pretty and has a good education* doesn't mean that she's sweet. And then there are some other people that are saying that he shouldn't feel too bad about it. Okay, geez, then why won't you feel too bad about it when it happens to you?

Here's something from the article that I also want to talk about: 

"Charlene Choi worked with both Raymond and Mavis in Jade and Pearl, and does not have much of an impression on Mavis. She said that she thinks Mavis betrayed Raymond and sighed that Raymond met a bad person. As for herself, she is very confident with her current boyfriend (William Chan) and her past lovers. She feels that they definitely will not betray them. At the JSG recording, Raymond appeared full of emotions and had a hoarse voice. He is grateful of Charlene for her support, but regarding to Charlene's comment about him meeting a bad person, and got betrayed by Mavis, Raymond said: "Don't say it like that, don't have too much speculations."

Okay, I'm sorry, but I think that Charlene is right. Mavis betrayed his trust, and I think it's fair for Charlene to say that. Raymond has too much EQ, if I were him I would definitely agree with Charlene right away. *sigh*

On to another topic, man do I hate Lau Ka Ho. Why do you insist on making an MOL2-ish series? And why do you have to make Kaki Raymond's wife and Tavia a maid? I know it's not Kaki's fault, but I really disliked her in E.U. (what a stupid character) and now she's going to my unlike list once again because a stupid producer doesn't know how to assign people characters. Gah... so I guess it really is a Kenvia pairing this time. Hopefully Kenneth isn't a perv in this series, and that his clothing looks better than it does at the costume fitting. Plus, please don't make him some comedic character. Because that just makes him a lot worse; he should be more serious. 

*Talking about educated people, did you guys watch that video of the UCLA racist girl? 

UCLA Girl's Racist Rant

Just wow, some people are so ignorant it's not even funny. I'm so glad I'm not going there.
