TVB’s new sitcom that has been renamed (English name yet to be confirmed) held its studio blessing ceremony yesterday, attended by cast members including Esther Kwan, Alvina Kong, Shek Sau, Elaine Jin and Yoyo Chen. Producer and TVB executive Catherine Tsang handed out golden pig lucky packets to everyone and Shek Sau won the lucky draw for the golden pig worth $1,888. Catherine laughs that whoever won has to take everyone out to dinner. When Shek Sau won the pig, everyone took turns to stroke it for good luck.
Shek Sau laughs that he is quite lucky and he hopes that this luck will rub off onto the series and bring up the ratings. When the reporters joked that Catherine wants him to pay for an eight-table banquet, he syas: “Catherine will arrange it. (You will pay’) I don’t mind, there will be a lot of meals with this series - as long as everyone is happy.”
Esther filmed a promotional clip for the show with a baby and afterwards she was asked whether that baby was her own. She smiles: “I have to clear this up1 The baby and the home were not not mind. I will not allow the baby to be photographed for now.” Esther says that there is some pressure on her filming this series because her identity has changed now and in the past I have focussed purely on my career, but now even if I ignore my husband, I can’t ignore my daughter. Asked if there is a lot of gossip with so many female cast members, Esther smiles that there isn’t much because Elaine is very loud and lively and Alvina is a crazy chick, so everyone is very happy.
In the show, Alvina plays the baddie and asked if she has shared childcare tips with Esther, she says that on Sunday, Nick Cheung had brought their daughter to visit Esther at the studio and her own husband was also there. Both men laughed in agreement: “We have lost our wives!” Asked if she would like to have a pig baby, Alvina says that she will have a lot of work to do and she already has four cats to look after. Does her husband not get envious of Nick and his daughter’ She laughs: “I am his daughter!”
Recently, there have been reports that Alvina has been visiting a Thai religious relic shop to pay respects to a demonic god. She says she has seen the reports and does not feel there is anything unusual. She explains that on that day, a friend took her to the shop and she did not buy anything so she just said a prayer. She says: “I am actually a Christian, but I feel that a quick prayer is not a problem and when we have the blessing, I will still offer incense.” [by mv_288]
