In gist, Steven says he will film a movie in May.
(tn: Seriously, the date of this elusive movie production is ever changing from 2 years ago to last year to March this year and now to May. I, for one, am not holding my breath waiting for May to come around only to have it once again changed to another date.) He is presently preparing a new music album. (
tn: no release date mentioned) He will be in the US and Canada for his concerts in May and June, respectively. The earliest he can find time to film a TVB series will be at year end. When asked which TVB artists he would like to collaborate with - he mentions Susanna Kwan and Linda Chung. (
tn:pls, not Linda or Tavia or even Fala-too many times already but then who else? Honestly, I've lost interest in TVB series. Couldn't care less whether Steven films a tvb series or not since it is gonna be the same old same old recycled scripts. I'd rather he join a high profile,high budget, well scripted mainland (eta:specifically ancient drama) tv production with good cast and good director.) Steven is asked about ATV's situation. Steven says he is concerned for the employees, many of whom are his friends and people he has worked with before. He hopes ATV can resolve its financial crisis as it involves jobs for a large populace and be viable to produce drama series in near future.
(TN: Haiz! Such a pc, diplomatic answer. Why not said just give the license to HKTV company already ba. HKTV can create jobs for the ex-ATV employees and actually pay them their salaries. So far, I've watched 4 of HKTV series already and their quality is excellent, way above TVB's. ) Steven's company is in discussions with some mainland tv stations to have him participate in some variety shows, be it game show or reality show. But he draws the line at doing a show that include risky activities like bungee jumping or sky-diving.

迈巴赫携手文华东方明星颁奖盛典首章 悦目之礼
****************************************************
March 28 2015 A mainland weekly magazine
Style Week 精品生活's 2015 非凡大赏 awards ceremony. Steven apparently received this "非凡瞩目男艺人" (
English transliteration: Extraordinary/ exceptional/ outstanding (非凡) - captivating/ attraction/ limelight (瞩目) male artist (男艺人) award. Not sure even what that award means, if it means anything at all besides its connotation that Steven still has commercial value.
(Wonder what Bowie Lam got for his award?) In all, 17 awards were presented that night
. Personally, I don't put much stock in most awards these days, or for that matter, polls either. With all due respect to the winners and recipients, awards nowadays, especially mainland's, are a dime a dozen and most are pretty meaningless to boot, much like the current TVB (pork) awards or Next media awards. So, sorry I just couldn't get myself excited over some gimmicky awards for some startup magazine in China, heck I couldn't even get excited over TVB awards. The only draw to these award events for me is when Steven participates because then I get to see him all dolled-up in his immaculate sponsored tux and stylish coiffure looking most dapper; a sight for sore eyes. Uploaded here are some of the better quality poised shots

Anyway from above pix and fans' pix, Steven's jacket seems a size too small, too tight across the chest, buttoned up too high on the jacket inadvertently 'shortening' his torso, and that truncated peek of his white shirt above the cummerbund just looks plain weird. Overall, the whole proportion and cut of the jacket makes Steven's torso look short and amorphous, whereas a better fitted jacket would define the full length and shape of his body frame esp. his waist to give off a sleek look and his 'lengthened' waist would add 'height' to his whole appearance. (see bottom-most pix) And a thumb's down for whoever did his make-up. Just saying...! Anyway, some pictures are better taken than others. Check out more pix in the links below.
Skimming the uploaded photos on weibo, gotta say there are some "appledaily" version of less-than-flattering photos out there. link Indeed, there is a technique to taking good, flattering photos of subject. Or maybe one should just censor out the unflattering photos of one's idol before uploading them publicly for all to see. Incidentally, Steven once deleted some of his bad pictures from a visiting fan's camera because he said the photos were so unflattering. (scroll down to vid) But then, to most fans, Steven looks good no matter what, so fans would indiscriminately upload all photos online regardless.
pre-award ceremony
Unlike his unflattering high-waisted tight jacket, see how the above plain form-fitting tunic streamlines and shapes Steven's torso, instantly accentuating his naturally long and lean, even muscular, form, and by doing so, add 'height' to his overall appearance? He looks 'beautiful' in it.

Based on the photo used in the above ad, I thought for sure Style Week was the magazine that did this 2013 photoshoot + write-up on Steven but it wasn't when I thought to affirm my assumption - turn out it was done by
Boss Magazine instead, which has no affiliation to Style Week. I don't remember Steven ever doing an interview for Style Week Magazine at all.
