[News] Linda Chung touches Ron Ng's stomach on the street

Yesterday Linda Chung, Ron Ng, Michael Tse and Him Law were shooting outdoor scenes for new series Men and Women Chooses Residence. In the series, Linda will be in a triangle love relationship with Ron and Michael, entangled and unclear. Ron joked: "At first I couldn't compete, lost because I had no money! But, in fact it was just a misunderstanding. Linda got together with Michael because of me. (Who eventually won?) Good people will have good blessings. Also Michael is the bad person, you all can guess yourself!" Michael said: "I have to fight with Ron for Linda. (Who wins?) Of course he can't beat me." During filming, it was seen that Linda and Ron's relationship was quite intimate, Linda even reached out to touch Ron's tummy.

As for Him Law, he reveals that the film Marriage With A Liar starring him and Chrissie Chow is doing very well in the box office, so he's very happy: "Very happy! If the box office surpasses 8 million, hope Director Yip can shoot a sequel, but that is another story." Currently single, Him expressed that he is focusing on shooting series, and will not be in a rush to find a partner. Leave everything to fate.

Also, recently it was rumored that Raymond Lam's father wants Raymond to retire from the entertainment circle and take over the family business, he was also rushed into marriage. As Raymond's rumored girlfriend, Linda expressed she doesn't know: "Huh? I don't know, didn't pay attention to it. That is someone else's business, nothing to do with me! (When are you getting married?) Wait for God's arrangement. I now know marriage is not a game, need time to establish a relationship."

[NEWS] Ron Ng cares less about himself, speeds and crashes car

Yesterday morning, Ron Ng, Linda Chung and JJ Jia were shooting outdoor scenes for TVB new series Men and Women Chooses Residence. The scene was about Ron speeding on the road, and gets into a car accident, while Linda and JJ are in a taxi circling around looking for him. As there was a stunts double to do the 'car crash' scene for him, he still had to personally shoot the speeding segment: "Although I'm already pass the speeding age, I still like to drive and even learned drifting from Chin Ka Lok. Initially I was going to personally take on the car crash scene myself, but because my face won't be on camera, TVB made arrangements for a stunts double. They will be even more professional, so can relax and just do the crash."

Towards Charmaine Sheh expressing that she has intentions on heading north to develop, and spoke out about wanting a raise, Ron said anyone would want a raise: "I also hope TVB gives me a raise, add the earnings for shows, then employees will put more effort into their work. It's true that Mainland series pays good, almost 2-3 times more than what is paid in HK. Also, during the filming progress, artists don't have to take part in shows or events, and can focus on the filming. Artists are also treated well, just have to suffer from being homesick. Actually it is very attractive, TVB has been helping me find Mainland jobs in the past few years, but I still have a good few years before my contract is up. When the time comes, I'll think about going out to develop."

As for Linda and JJ, they were shooting a being in the rain scene. Linda joked and said she especially have fate with rain, every time she shoots a series, there are rain scenes. Linda did all her safety measures, like wearing 4 layers of clothing and wear a rain coat when it's time to film. Even on her neck, she put on tape to block water from going in. JJ, on the other hand, had no preparations at all, she said: "I was initially going to make ginger tea, but then I didn't have enough time. I really hope my mom can get back from Jinan (China) so she can take care of me. (Find a boyfriend to do it!) Leave it, the boys now, if I don't have to take care of them, it's already good enough."

Linda's TVB Blog Update 19/12/10 (English Translation)

Linda updated her TVB Blog! (: Go see it here and leave a comment for her!

Title: Accepting the reality with head bowed

In the new drama , my family includes Sonija Kwok, Michael Miu, Him Law (Law Chung Hin), Leung Lik Wai, Wong Chi Man and Lui Wan Yan and we live in a small flat of about 700 squared metres. I am a clever and good girl and am Ron Ng’s lover in the drama. The plot of the drama is very realistic, in reality many families also face such problems. The character I am portraying in this drama will go through many trials, and when acting I will get very uptight and emotional. So each day before I go to work, I will muster up all the emotions from previous scenes, and act with different people using the same emotions. This character really poses to me a great challenge!

In order to hide from my creditors who were chasing me to return the debt she had owed, I do so by acting as if I was not myself (in the drama).

Ron Ng and I play the market (margin) and thus owed people money. As a result, we had to flee hurriedly.

In the drama, Ron Ng and I get to the stage of talking about marriage and familial ties, and this is when problems occur in our relationship. In the end, can each of us survive on our own? Watch it to find out!

Translated by bell@linda thoughts

Thoughts: This is really almost word-for-word in the article translated earlier (you can see it here)

My best guess is that Linda got a soft copy from the interviewer and changed the wording to first-person terms! Alternatively, she could have just typed it out herself O.o which would have taken at least ten times as long..... >.<
