Charmaine Sheh obliges to fans requests

IPB Image
Frankie Lam, Charmaine Sheh, Vivien Yeo and Raymond Cho filmed TVB series [Forensic Heroes 2] first outdoor scene yesterday. The scene is about Frankie making contact with the criminal suspect. Since it's not Charmaine's turn yet, she waited in the newly acquired car and watched some DVD. In between, a lot of passer-by approached her hoping to take pictures and autographs, which Charmaine happily obliges.

Frankie, who has been filming series in Mainland China for the past year expressed that filming in Mainland is much comfortable than HK because the former only require 12 hours of work daily. However, due to the comfortable working environment he gained some weight. Before filming [FH2], he went jogging every evening to reduce his weight.

Vivien resumes her previous role as a cop in this sequel and joked that she will request with the producer to add romance into her storyline, perhaps intimate scenes as well. She explains: "Being just a policewoman is so dull, hope there will be a kissing scene!"

Raymond Lam Caused Trouble to Everyone on the Set

Ron Ng, Kate Tsui and others crews members were all prepared to film an outdoor scene but Raymond Lam didn't show up which makes everyone wait for him for about 2 hours. Thus, TVB had to arrange another time to film on the 21st. When Raymond Lam arrived, he explained: "I was absent because of the bad weather". The other day, the forecast announced that the highest would be 30 degrees and that the sky will be covered by clouds.

Last week, at 8 o'clock, there was 8 of the actors all prepared to film and they kept complaining that they wanted to see Raymond. The crew immediately call him but the worse is he even troubled his best buddy, Ron Ng, making Ron wait for him until 10:00. The director had enough about it, so he decided to film the scene on another day.

Make up Filming

Because of the lateness of Raymond Lam, they decided to film for half a day to fit him. The schedule clearly said that 2 o'clock but Raymond arrived at 3 o'clock. Thus, they only started filming at 4 o'clock. Because of some technical problems, they had to re-film everything. Luckily it only took an hour to re-film. Afterwards, the press was chasing after him, asking why he was late to film.

The weather man's problem

East Weekly interviewed Raymond:

E: On sunday, you went missing and you made Kate Tsui and Ron Ng to wait for you, why didn't you show up?
R: That day, I didn't show up because a crew member called me saying that the weather was bad thus no need to film.
E: But the whole cast was there, How come you are the only one who received this call?
R: Ah! I'm sorry, I need to go to another location...

Even though there was a bit of a misunderstanding, Raymond wasted the crew and also Kate's time. Kate said: "Raymond is missing? We all found it really hard and tiring to film, pushing the wheelchair, hurts the hands. Also wearing old ancient clothes makes me sick, but from beginning to the end, these kind of situations are very unusual, but I don't remember these kind of things."

Raymond Lam caused so much trouble to everyone on the set, making all the crews waits for him.

Kelly Chen Spending Mid-Autumn Festival with Crew

IPB Image
Kelly has been staying in Beijing to film her movie "Kingdom And Beauty" for almost 3 months and is coming close to the end of the filming. She is this year's spokesperson for Maxim Mooncakes and although she was in Beijing, the company had arranged for over a hundred boxes of mooncakes to be delivered to her from HK. She could then share them with the filming crew so that everyone can experience the atmosphere of the Mid Autumn Festival even at work. She will miss the crew when they complete the filming. She expressed that even though the filming work was difficult and tiring, she felt happy to be able to learn invaluable knowledge about movies from the director. The boxoffice for the movie will be a secondary concern for her.
