Steven Ma's Birthday Wishes

10/27/2011
Yesterday was Steven Ma’s 40th birthday. In the morning, in conjunction with his new series, “Prosperous Father”, wrap-up production shoot of its themevideo, TVB also held a birthday celebration for Steven, complete with champagne and a birthday cake. The attendees included Miu Siu Ching, Ha Yu, Nancy Wu and Cilla Chung etc. Because his contract issue with TVB is still unresolved, good friend, Evergreen Mak, wished him good luck in resolving all his problems.

When asked if his birthday wish was to successfully terminate his contract with TVB? Steven said candidly: “Presently the negotiation is going well, very happy. I believe we will have a new form of contractual collaboration. Will talk about it later. I thank  TVB for their consideration to my problem.” (But 6th Aunt said to retain you?) He said he still collaborates with TVB just in a different form. (6th Aunt can’t retain you?) Steven laughing said: “It’s not that. I really don’t know how to answer. Wait until everything is settled. Anyway, everything is going smoothly. Very grateful to all those who have helped or are helping me to resolve my problem."

Steven Ma also revealed that on his birthday eve, 10/25, he invited friends including his three beloved ‘sisters’ and good friend, Dexter Yeung to celebrate his birthday in an Italian restaurant, and that he footed the dinner bill of over 10,000 hkd. When asked if his girlfriend was there too, he quipped that lots of people were there, and that he got to cut two birthday cakes. And last night on his birthday 10/26, he invited Kent Cheng to dinner.

(What were your birthday wishes?)  Steven: Man at forty is like a flower. (Chinese idiom) and turning forty years old is stepping into the 2nd phase of life cycle. Earning money is of course among the wishes, more important is good health. Hope that family, friends and I all have good health.”  On his birthday eve dinner, when cutting the cake besides wishing for earning more money and good health, Steven also wished good health for everybody.  He said there are too many cast and crew members in the tv industry who have been oppressed, and he empathizes with them. Seeing the tv industry is now embarking on a new stage, he wishes good health for everybody because only with good health can one fight for the right path, and fight for what one should fight for.  When asked when is he going to get married? Steven played dumb and said: “I drank too much last night, still not sober yet!” When pressed, he answered evasively that anyway he is already a big boy, so whether work or personal matters, he have plans for them.


Aside, in December Steven will head to Hengdian to shoot Director Tsui Siu Ming’s new series, Founder of Yuan Empire. Before setting out, he will prepare suitable winter clothes. Steven is very happy to have the chance to work with Director Tsui Siu Ming and Hu Jun et al. Steven said: “I’ll make good use of this learning opportunity. It is a good training platform. I’ll treasure it.”

馬浚偉生日願望搵真銀@新報

馬浚偉（馬仔）昨日40歲生日，一早就與電視劇《當旺爸爸》的演員拍攝煞科戲，包括胡定欣、夏雨、樂瞳等，劇組送上蛋糕給他慶祝生日。

馬仔表示踏入40歲是一個新階段，對於生日願望是否離開無，他直言多謝公司，現在大家仍在商討，可能會以其他合作方法：「公司好體諒我。（六嬸話要留住你？）公司咁多年好開心，都係一個唔同合作形式。（即係留唔住你啦？）唔係，唔識答。」他補充表示生日願望當然是搵錢，而且健康都好重要，對於人生大事，他就以前晚飲醉酒，未醒作理由，沒有正面回應：「總之大個仔，我都會有計劃。」

馬仔透露前晚放假跟朋友楊怡、陳法拉及鍾嘉欣等食意大利菜，埋單萬幾蚊，由他找數。因為不開心而向無提出解約要求的馬浚偉，前晚切生日蛋糕時，他對電視界台前幕後工作人員，有太多人被欺壓深同感受，他坦言見到電視業去到一個新階段，希望大家都身體健康，有了健康之後，便為正道而戰，爭取自己應該爭取的。
