Johnson Lee Proposes to Yoyo Mung For Ekin Cheng

Steven Ma, Fala Chen, Yoyo Mung, Johnson Lee attended to a promotion event for "Links to Temptation" yesterday and played proposal games. Johnson said he is proposing to Yoyo for Ekin, and Yoyo hit him immediately. She said: "How good are his words? Originally he should say he swears he loves me, maybe because he hosted 'Fun With Liza and Gods,' he thinks quickly, now it became a proposal, but I'm not mad." Asked whether Ekin has proposed, she said: "Don't talk about this all the time. It sounds like I don't need to work. I hope audience can pay attention to the series."

Steven Ma expressed he does not need to practice to propose because he tried a lot during filming. In reality, he plans to propose within these one or two years.

It is Fala's first time being the female lead, but ratings are average. She said: "It's actually the best out of the three series now. Ratings broke 30 in several episodes. Maybe it's because it's New Year's Eve weekend, everyone is out celebrating after work!" She said she is not discouraged because she attended to many functions thanks to the series!

Steven Ma: A Miracle If I Win TV King

Steven Ma, Evergreen Mak, Natalie Tong, Christine Kuo, etc attended to the blessing ceremony for upcoming series <紫禁驚雷>. Steven expressed two of his new series is airing but it is not good for Anniversary Awards that is held at the end of the year: "'A Watchdog's Tale' is one of the highest rating series. 'Ghost Writer' is used to fight against World Cup. I'm in the showbiz for many years. Many series are used to fight against other events. If I do win at this year's Anniversary Awards, it would be a miracle." He said his only wish this year is Evergreen to win Best Supporting Actor: "This crappy Fei Fan Gor is so popular, it's good even if he has to eat poop!"

As for Best Actor, Steven expressed he did not vote but if he has to, he would vote for Kent Cheng because he taught him many things. He also does not believe Sheren Tang would exchange TV Queen with TVB long term contract.

As for Evergreen, who is one of the favorites to win Best Supporting Actor, he said he met A-list actor Chow Yun-fat earlier and Chow looks highly on him: "In fact not only God is looking at us, Fat Gor is also looking. He is my idol. I feel very honored and excited already when he praised my performance!"

First time playing villain, Natalie expressed it is quite a challenge for her. She will pair with Kenneth Ma again after "Truth." Christine, who is not good at speaking Cantonese, said she found two teachers to help her out.
