UPDATED: Steven Ma's heart affected by heat

Undoubtedly these 2 headlines are more appropriate and not as sensationalized as others. I've always prefer wenweipo over its counterparts.

Steven Ma's heart affected by heat during filming in Xi Qiao.
Recently, TVB's new series Property Protector 《守业者》troupe went to Yingde, Guangzhou and Si Qiao for on location filming. Since production commenced, male lead, Steven Ma, has encountered several unexpected setbacks. First, his nose got injured by a prop gun so he needed a few days to recuperate. Next, TVB had prearranged for him to attend the TVB press conference in the Films and TV Series Exhibition held in Beijing, but unfortunately the day before his departure he had to go to the hospital to have his heart irregularity examined.  Apparently the combination of fatigue and extreme heat had aggravated his heart condition. As precaution to problems during flight, Steven decided not to attend the Beijing exhibition.

Steven said："Working in a 38 degree heat, not only was I sick but Ching Hor Wai was unwell too with bronchitis and was given 3 bags of saline IV in the hospital. But because the filming schedule was tight many people though not feeling still continued to work, and no one took sick leave. Very professional."

When filming in Ying De, the PP troupe encountered torrential rain brought on by Typhoon Utor causing flooding to many places.  Steven recalled: "One day when shooting a battle scene on a hill near a dam, the floodwater unexpectedly crested over the dam so the water needed to be released to relieve pressure built-up. The government told us to evacuate the area within 5 minutes so as not to put ourselves in danger trapped on the hill by the surging water."  

"Fortunately prior to the water drainage our troupe had already finished the Ying De on-location filming else with much of the beautiful sceneries under water later, our filming progress would definitely be seriously affected. Producer Leung was ever grateful to be so fortunate as to able to finish in time."

Property Protector finished filming the day before yesterday. To celebrate its completion which also happened to fall on Tavia Yeung's birthday, the troupe held a dinner celebration for Tavia and two other crew members. Steven even gave Tavia a big ang pow making her very happy.

Steven said that he had had a great time with his troupe members and that he was very happy to work with his former tvb colleagues again. After Property Protector completion, TVB immediately negotiated with Steven to film another new series and to shoot Apprentice Chef 3《大厨出马》. However, Steven has to film a movie in Beijing first.  His collaboration with TVB will have to depend on the script and his schedule.

Steven Ma and Tavia Yeung's new tvb series, Property Protector 《守業者》has finally wrapped up filming. Coincidentally that day was also Tavia's birthday (tn: August 30th) so the PP troupe held a celebration dinner.  Steven even gave Tavia a big ang pow, making her very happy. (sic. While most cast wrapped up filming on that day, Steven and Tavia still had scenes to shoot thereafter.) Steven said he was happy to shoot TVB series. However, the filming was not smooth sailing. He said: "Ching Hor Wai had bronchitis. My heart was affected by the heat. But nobody took sick days. Everybody's very professional."

Thereafter, Steven will immediately fly over to Beijing to shoot a new movie.

Note1: Congratulations to Steven,Tavia, Uncle Choi and all PP cast & crew for wrapping up filming.

note: It is just like Steven to bring up fellow cast member, Ching Hor Wai, was sick too.  Because the latter is not lead like he is there are no reports on her illness so Steven thoughtfully shone the spotlight on her in the news.
