omg, just listen to the themesong of kublai khan improvised by Hunan tv, totally destroyed the integrity of what is an epic series. Haiz. If it is not so sacrilege it is absolutely hilarious . The song melody is that of an old, old hk singer, george lam's Ghengis khan. No wonder director tsui was so pissed as he blasted the tv station on his weibo over the ridiculous song. Esp when he had spent much effort in getting the themesong perfect to reflect the grandiose epic life story of kublai.
But i read that is what mainland local tv stations do to tvseries airing on their channels - change the original titles and use other songs as themesongs like what is done to yyp, which btw has now being aired under four different tltles- and different names for dvd sets.

[07-23]李思捷：我唔好笑 自揭激怒马浚伟因由
发表于 2013-7-23 21:01:52
东方新地 第815期：李思捷
Interviewer: Is it true that at one time your revising the script irked Steven Ma?
Johnson: True. At one time I was pretty cocky. Clearly in that scene I was the supporting character but revised the script to make myself the leading man, so it was very inappropriate. If I were Steven, I would be mad too. If I did not encounter this kind of situations then, how would I know I was in the wrong.
Interviewer: Are you guys fine now?
Johnson: After collaborating in "Link to Temptations"《诱情转驳》 , whereby we acted brothers, he realized that I wasn't that "pu kai" (a prick), that I'm actually a good person! And now we've become brothers. I even call him "ah goh" (older brother). Truly "不打不相识" (It takes a fight for them to get know each other.)

周：周美凤 李：李思捷
周：据闻你爸爸做航运生意，系隐形富豪！
李：我老窦做生意又点？街边卖鱼蛋都系生意啦！普通物流生意咋嘛，你话佢好有（钱）我又唔觉得。
周：外传你爸爸有几千万物业，都系留俾你?啦！
李：边个话留俾我？我想我老窦长命千岁，我自己又唔系揾唔到！
周：你唔认……
本周嘉宾是“玩嘢王”李思捷，扮鬼扮马有一手的他，却认为自己唔好笑！以及细说改剧本激嬲马浚伟的经过及不公开谈论女友的原因。

周：据闻你爸爸做航运生意，系隐形富豪！
李：我老窦做生意又点？街边卖鱼蛋都系生意啦！普通物流生意咋嘛，你话佢好有（钱）我又唔觉得。
周：外传你爸爸有几千万物业，都系留俾你?啦！
李：边个话留俾我？我想我老窦长命千岁，我自己又唔系揾唔到！
周：你唔认同你系有钱人？
李：咩叫有钱人？有啲人几亿都觉得唔够！我又唔会买架游艇、又唔会突然同条女坐头等飞去马尔代夫，我又唔系啲大使嘅人，我戴紧只表8年前买，到依家都冇买第二只，你问我买唔买得起，我梗系买得起，但我需唔需要？我唔需要！
【闹工作人员】
周：我好钟意睇你搞笑，??时睇你同阮兆祥、王祖蓝做《福禄寿》笑死我！点解咁有搞笑细胞？
李：我觉得我自己同佢哋唔同嘅地方系，佢两个本身系好搞笑嘅人、好有幽默感，随时讲到笑话；我就唔系，其实我个人几cool，所以我要做好多功课、去练好多次至做到，我又唔觉得自己好笑。
周：入行后有段时间未被无线重用，当时有冇谂过放弃？
李：我同自己讲如果30岁觉得自己唔适合呢行，咁就好转行嘞，但如果30岁觉得ok?、我系行呢条路?，咁咪继续啰！咁啱我30岁时TVB同我签经理人合约。
周：据闻你拍《玩嘢王》试过闹工作人员？
李：真心话、真系冇办法，TVB 45年嚟未试过足一个钟头嘅偷拍节目，大家都揣摸紧；当我睇到某啲嘢唔对路，我真系会出声，拍剧可以NG 10次、18次，但偷拍冇得NG，我承认我系有恶，但??个moment我务必要完成，之后我最多送扎花当众向佢道歉。
周：系咪有段时间改剧本改到马浚伟好憎你？
李：系，有段时间我好chur，明明??场戏自己系配角，都改到自己系主角，令到件事唔系好啱，我系马仔(马浚伟)我都嬲啦。如果我冇当年呢啲事发生，我点会知道自己唔啱呢！
周：依家有冇和好？
李：之后拍咗套《诱情转驳》，戏中同佢做兄弟，??套佢睇到我原来唔系咁仆街，都系好人嚟！依家真系做咗兄弟，我直情叫佢阿哥，不打不相识。
【闹网友低能】
周：点识陈雅伦？
李：??时佢喺加拿大走埠，我喺??边读书，佢出场前，我喺同一个骚负责暖场，就系咁识。??时佢同王敏德有套《危情》，除晒（衫）?！??套我睇咗100次都有！我有几个（女星）真系好钟意，陈雅伦、关之琳、钟楚红，我系钟意到发癫！
周：由始至终有冇发展过？
李：以前梗系想，但17岁点会媾一个巨星？何况我??时都唔识媾女，我21岁先初恋，当时个女朋友22岁，我系好迟先开始拍拖。
周：你依家个女朋友都系22岁吖！
李：我边个女朋友先？
周：食得??个春卷（王宝宝）呀！
李：个个都知，一讲呢样嘢我就唔答，我唔讲自己私人嘢。
周：点解唔肯讲女朋友呢？
李：我嘅theory好简单，我同记者、读者、任何香港市民一样，都系揸香港身份证，即系话，你哋有嘅权利，我都有；你哋有嘅私隐，我都有！唔系因为我系公众人物，就要expose我嘅私事。除非香港法律话公众人物就要expose佢嘅私事，但香港冇一条咁嘅例。
周：同陈雅伦有冇发展空间？
李：唔会无啦啦click，仔就话click啫，几十岁仲边会click！依家好睇relationship，讲family、讲将来。
周：近年有冇视边个女星为女神？
李：冇，因为依家o靓模个风气太劲，其实依家叻嘅模特儿真系好惨，行个catwalk真系有料到、成个人系一个态度，系好professional，唔系濑雪糕滴两嘢吖嘛！但依家internet令到??班低能仔有种渴望，钟意??啲所谓模，所以依家个market喺晒呢啲咁嘅低能仔度！咩都网民，网乜民？行出嚟啦！
李思捷
有女神情意结，却不介意将来另一半在婚后变成大肥婆，“佢自己去决定，如果系影响到佢健康就要提，脂肪令佢胆固醇高，仲食鹅肝、饮三罐可乐，咁真系要提，每个人都会老?啦！当??个真系老婆，我话你听，十个男人九个都一定锡老婆，除非离婚，男人有样嘢好，系老婆，真系会锡！出面啲女点靓都好，最尾都系谂老婆！因为系屋企人嚟?嘛！”
【未认定春卷】
周：屋企人有冇迫婚？
李：佢哋冇讲，但有边个父母唔想自己嘅小朋友成家立室。
周：你自己钟唔钟意成家立室？
李：钟意。
周：咁仲等咩？
李：我唔想用年龄嚟计时，love系feel到timing啱就去?啦！
周：你钟唔钟意小朋友？
李：我钟意，但我唔想因为生小朋友而去结婚，除非身边??个真系认定系老婆啦！
周：你嚟紧又开戏，仲有咁多嘢想做，几时得嚟结婚？
李：咁我又未死！我身边啲旧同学全部结晒婚生晒仔，所以我睇到佢哋啲小朋友长大，我知道晒个过程系点，所以到我??时，我唔会有乜惊喜，唯一惊喜系，我多咗个爱嘅人！
周：有咩嗜好？仲有冇蒲？
李：好少蒲，我钟意食饭同饮酒combine埋一齐，我好憎落酒吧玩骰盅饮到第二朝斜晒，我钟意打边炉，打到咁上下饮酒，揽头揽颈，12点眼瞓就返屋企。
【周美凤眼中的李思捷──喜剧之王】
我喺电视睇思捷做戏，觉得佢非常之搞笑、神似到不得了，我觉得佢好留意周遭事物、好有模仿嘅能力，仲非常之高招，可以做到皮笑肉不笑、肉笑皮不笑！我同思捷系喺马德钟瓷婚婚宴上认识，识咗两个礼拜，好快一见如故，觉得佢好个人好nice、好冇架子，好有性格、对自己好有要求，而且好随和，系一个交得过的朋友！

The Legend of Kublai Khan airing on Hunan tv channel
The Legend of Kublai Khan 忽必烈传奇 (formerly The Legend of Yuan Empire Founder 建元风云 ) since 7/21 is now airing on Hunan tv channel at 7:30 pm 10 episodes each run. (the same tv outlet where Yuan Yang Pei premiered). Steven first appears at the end of episode 8 and episode 9 is mostly his and Kublai's scene. Coincidentally Hunan is also airing Steven's YYP in the afternoon 7 episodes at a time.
As its habit, Hunan tv channel has changed the title 忽必烈传奇 to 《打仗英雄忽必烈》. And once again, YYP's title has yet another title called "糊涂的爱" The Confusing Love.
Episode 9 -- Zi Chong and Kublai's scene.
Apparently in epi 9 and 10 Steven has lots of screen time.

Steven Ma Remembering mother, Teary-Eyed at concert

Mingpao 7-16-2013 馬浚偉憶亡母眼濕濕
singpao 7-16-2013 音樂分享會 掀動觀眾情緒
wenweipo 7-16-2013 開音樂分享會傳遞正能量 馬浚偉克服死穴憶忘母
videos: tudou link
Earlier when filming the TVB new series, Property Protector, Steven’s acting partner accidentally hit his (Steven's) nose and eye with a prop gun causing him to almost become a one-eyed person, and had his nose fractured and swollen so bad that even sneezing could impede his recovery progress. Steven was once worried that he might not be able to sing, thus affecting his concert. Because Steven was also busy filming his resting time was lacking but on stage he was full of life and vitality, sang well and danced well.
Regardless in the sharing segment or singing fast songs segment, he successfully engaged and stirred the audience’s emotion, especially during the sharing session whereby sounds of tissues being used could be heard from time to time in the auditorium, so moved by Steven’s true feelings the audience tear up. His stage presence and his ability to hold the stage greatly impressed the audience, bringing it home to them that Steven is not only an actor but that he actually debuted as a singer. Even Catherine Tsang with her rigorous high standards and frugal praises went backstage after the show to praise Steven for his performance and his great improvement in singing, making the latter relieved.
Actually in the two consecutive night concert, Steven displayed both the emotional side and the sunny side of himself. He first shared his vulnerable side through his songs in his sharing session. He recalled the day his mother passed away. He was six years old when his mother was first diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, and thereafter he accompanied his mother in her battle against cancer for twenty odd years. (tn: 22 years) She was about 40 something (tn: 48 years) when she passed away; so very young. Steven was so inconsolable at her passing that he had depression. He said describing his late mother’s story was his Achilles heel. Even now in his sharing, Steven looked teary-eyed. He said: “Both while driving to the hospital and later sitting inside a taxi after my mom passed away, in different vehicles, from different radio stations, they all played this song sang by Gigi Leung, “Today”. Steven then proceeded to sing “Today”. In the past Steven found it difficult to control his emotion singing Today but this time he was able to restrain it, but still could see his eyes bright with unshed tears.
After completing "Today", Steven went on to sing his late mother's favorite song, Deanie Ip's (葉德嫻) "Weary" (倦).
When done singing “Weary” Steven continued his mother’s story. He said: “Now that I’m done singing Deanie Ip’s "Weary" I want to share some more with everybody this one experience of my mother's passing. Because my mother loved this song, even at the terminal phase of her cancer when she had lost both her senses of taste and hearing, she still loved to turn on the cassette tape player to listen to “Weary”，so recently I composed this song dedicated to her: “For Mother, Weary”《給媽媽的『倦』》. Actually what made me feel so guilty conscience strickened that I sank into deep depression was that I was the one who signed the consent paper for my mother’s surgery whereby an aperture would be surgically made in her stomach so that a feeding tube bringing nourishment could be inserted through it into her stomach to feed her. At the time the doctor said if nothing was done she would survive at most two weeks. At the time my mother did not want to do it, she even said to me that I was pushing her to die. But we all did not want her to leave and so I made the decision. Even though the surgery was successful she caught post-surgery infection and in less than a day she left me. "
(tn: the following paragraph is confusing to me cos the report from Singpao differs from wenweipo. Was this Steven's comment to the reporter (Wenweipo) or did he say it to the audience? (singpao)
Steven had to frequently take deep breaths to temper his emotions. The sound of tissues being used could be heard throughout the auditorium. Steven continued: “Frankly whenever I came to this part I honestly could not hold my tears but I don’t want to cry because I still have to sing, so don’t want to have my vocal affected. So I’m going to stop myself right here from continuing. I don’t even dare to look down stage at where my father and my sisters sit because I may not be able to resist my tears. But I’m very grateful that today before you all I could share my mother’s story; that I can face it with courage.
"I’m dismay every time I read/heard about children actually killed their parents over money, or be rebellious or troublesome to their parents. Not everybody has the opportunity to be filial to their parents. I hope this concert can appeal to everybody to cherish your family, to be filial to your parents; that’s one reason why I held this ‘music sharing’ concert. Also, I hope everybody can absorb more positive energy from this sharing, and not be so negative. For that I chose these more inspiring songs, 《前程錦繡》、《漫步人生路》、《念親恩》、《摘星》. I feel that we should radiate more positive energy so that there will be more harmony among people.
As to elicited Catherine Tsang's praise, Steven said: "Very happy, because for a year I continuously practised my singing in secret. Moreover, the past few days I made time to rehearse diligently. Being able to elicite mentor's approval proved that my efforts were not wasted. After this concert, turn out all these years I had never given up on music, and even now still love it. So these days besides filming series, I will put more time into music, whether in producing album or music related area."
Aside, the first batch of his new album 《Cherish》has sold out and he is presently preparing to produce the 2nd batch. Guess his next concert is just around the corner.

Regardless in the sharing segment or singing fast songs segment, he successfully engaged and stirred the audience’s emotion, especially during the sharing session whereby sounds of tissues being used could be heard from time to time in the auditorium, so moved by Steven’s true feelings the audience tear up. His stage presence and his ability to hold the stage greatly impressed the audience, bringing it home to them that Steven is not only an actor but that he actually debuted as a singer. Even Catherine Tsang with her rigorous high standards and frugal praises went backstage after the show to praise Steven for his performance and his great improvement in singing, making the latter relieved.
Actually in the two consecutive night concert, Steven displayed both the emotional side and the sunny side of himself. He first shared his vulnerable side through his songs in his sharing session. He recalled the day his mother passed away. He was six years old when his mother was first diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, and thereafter he accompanied his mother in her battle against cancer for twenty odd years. (tn: 22 years) She was about 40 something (tn: 48 years) when she passed away; so very young. Steven was so inconsolable at her passing that he had depression. He said describing his late mother’s story was his Achilles heel. Even now in his sharing, Steven looked teary-eyed. He said: “Both while driving to the hospital and later sitting inside a taxi after my mom passed away, in different vehicles, from different radio stations, they all played this song sang by Gigi Leung, “Today”. Steven then proceeded to sing “Today”. In the past Steven found it difficult to control his emotion singing Today but this time he was able to restrain it, but still could see his eyes bright with unshed tears.
Today
Weary
When done singing “Weary” Steven continued his mother’s story. He said: “Now that I’m done singing Deanie Ip’s "Weary" I want to share some more with everybody this one experience of my mother's passing. Because my mother loved this song, even at the terminal phase of her cancer when she had lost both her senses of taste and hearing, she still loved to turn on the cassette tape player to listen to “Weary”，so recently I composed this song dedicated to her: “For Mother, Weary”《給媽媽的『倦』》. Actually what made me feel so guilty conscience strickened that I sank into deep depression was that I was the one who signed the consent paper for my mother’s surgery whereby an aperture would be surgically made in her stomach so that a feeding tube bringing nourishment could be inserted through it into her stomach to feed her. At the time the doctor said if nothing was done she would survive at most two weeks. At the time my mother did not want to do it, she even said to me that I was pushing her to die. But we all did not want her to leave and so I made the decision. Even though the surgery was successful she caught post-surgery infection and in less than a day she left me. "
Steven had to frequently take deep breaths to temper his emotions. The sound of tissues being used could be heard throughout the auditorium. Steven continued: “Frankly whenever I came to this part I honestly could not hold my tears but I don’t want to cry because I still have to sing, so don’t want to have my vocal affected. So I’m going to stop myself right here from continuing. I don’t even dare to look down stage at where my father and my sisters sit because I may not be able to resist my tears. But I’m very grateful that today before you all I could share my mother’s story; that I can face it with courage.
"I’m dismay every time I read/heard about children actually killed their parents over money, or be rebellious or troublesome to their parents. Not everybody has the opportunity to be filial to their parents. I hope this concert can appeal to everybody to cherish your family, to be filial to your parents; that’s one reason why I held this ‘music sharing’ concert. Also, I hope everybody can absorb more positive energy from this sharing, and not be so negative. For that I chose these more inspiring songs, 《前程錦繡》、《漫步人生路》、《念親恩》、《摘星》. I feel that we should radiate more positive energy so that there will be more harmony among people.
《漫步人生路》

【雷霆音樂圈】馬浚偉十年後再闖歌壇，炮製發燒福音大碟《Cherish》，母帶除了帶到德國頂尖混音公司完成之外，馬仔更在歌腔上挑戰前所未有的極廣音域，究竟用意何在？

notice
To blog readers: Lately, Steven has lots of magazine interviews and news but so sorry I just can't find time to translate them all. Starting next Tuesday until mid August I'll be extremely busy so may not even be able to update the blog on Steven's news at all, let alone translate articles.

Steven's a cappella "Because of you"
Steven's a cappella "Because of you" 《只因有祢》
I love it! Well done, Steven!
The uploads on youtube and tudou are somewhat muted.
Do listen to a more superior quality sound on its source link马浚伟纯人声歌曲《只因有你》 1分30秒试听scroll to bottom and click on the link there. Besides this song, there are uploads of《如愿》 and 《心照》.
song composed and written by Steven Ma.
“Because of you” is a Christian song praising the Lord. Steven had originally planned to compose the song in a folk song style but supervisor Wen felt the singing could be more intricate, so in the end, the song was recorded as Steven doing a multi vocal harmony all by himself (singing a cappella with 40 multi-tracks of his vocal recordings as accompaniment), displaying some of his vocal wide range especially his low, deep bass voice.

Interview
Interview 馬浚偉 by godplatform part3
Steven relates how believing in Christ has helped him be more at peace with himself and with the world.
Except while driving by himself, Steven does not swear nor use profanity.
Steven has a strong social conscience, cares deeply of society condition
Steven talks about today's young generation, how internet and cyber networking have greatly stunted their social skills to communicate with other people in real life.
Steven is asked how his generation differs from today's generation. Steven says that today's generation is different from his because they are shaped by the society they grow up in, especially the existence of internet and the iphone with lots of apps functions to occupy their time and mold their thinking. Nowadays the young people are slowly losing the interpersonal skill to communicate face to face with other people because of the internet and iphone app culture. I totally agree with Steven's sentiment.

editorial on cd sales
So far artists weibo their cd copies.
Linda - 18 copies
Tavia - 10 copies
Katy Kung - 1 copy
Sharon Chan - 10 copies
Many fans got on weibo complaining they have had problems buying Steven's cd cos' the many stores they went to did not have copies. So is this sold out situation due to poor production planning or due to inefficient marking implementation or due to unexpected brisk sales? Did Steven's marketing personnel grossly underestimated the total cd's sales therefore did not produce that many copies to start with, or did the sales personnel not able to get that many stores to stock the cds, or if they did order, their orders were not big? The stores that ran out of copies, are they planning to re-order? And even if they re-order, the initial momentum to buy is already greatly tampered, moreover, many who had wanted to buy the cd were mainlanders temporary visiting HK, so that potential sales is gone forever. Whatever the reasons the loss in potential sales is truly regrettable.
As I said before, production and a superior product though an important start to a successful investment, but to end with a successful finish, the marketing and distribution of the cds to buyers must be efficient and well thought out.
Best of luck to Steven in all his ventures and investments.
note: Sandy Lau's (Steven's HK manager) response to my above pondering:

As CD market is shrinking, the wholesalers won't take the risk to keep many copies in stock. It's something we can't control and has nothing to do with production or marketing plan.

ET news: Steven Ma returns to PP
source: scoop 2013-7-03
Outward the wound looks heal but it still hurts inside. Doctor told Steven not to sneeze so he gave Steven a sneeze preventive medicine and Steven says it truly worked cos' he has not sneezed so far. (touch wood) Also, the doctor told Steven not to sing too intensely -- how to do that? Steven says that after a prolonged singing rehearsal he had sinus pain. The eye is still a bit swollen. And looking at the close up tv on his nose profile, there is indeed a slight bump on his nose ridge. Poor Steven!
on cc news report: TVB arranged a tv news group to interview Steven on PP site. Steven's eye is still slightly swollen. Producer Leung gave Steven a new packet for good luck and Tavia even treated Steven to lunch to welcome him back.
From a previously straight nose ridge, now there is this irregular slight bump on it, the crookedness flawed an otherwise perfect straight nose ridge. Haiz! And Steven says he is most proud of his straight, high nose. And yes, the outcome could be worse but still so unnecessary as all accidents are. But what's worrisome is that the inside of the nose still causes him pain.
