Call himself good friends with Steven. I " peh". If good friends how can he treat his buddy like that. I have great doubts about this guy's character. His look to me is also one of a kind. Definitely not the 善男信女 type. The way he handled Steven is despicable. Pray n hope that his movie is a big flop!!!!!!

Haha! But then nowadays, people don't talk on phone anymore. But whatever! Snippet reporting is the trend these days, one has to collate several news reports to get a better picture, and even then, it is not the full picture of the whole situation, so whatever!.<br /><br />馬浚偉其後接受訪問,問佢今次喺片中影「遺照」,有冇收利是,佢講:「冇呀!因為唔係拍我死,只不過係阿一打嚟同我講,撞正上年我生日出發去台灣慶祝,阿一wechat叫我幫手,當時我喺機場,阿一話之前冇搵你,係因為你喺片中一開始已經死咗,乜我生日流流講啲咁嘅嘢,阿一話想你喺片中死前影一輯結婚相,之後返嚟冇咗件事,後嚟葉念琛搵我,自己聽到個劇情好感動。Tamayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527095699512743403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346627119722443421.post-48400380313973974092015-11-12T10:28:38.443-05:002015-11-12T10:28:38.443-05:00To be honest, after reading the various reports, i...To be honest, after reading the various reports, it didn’t sound like Stephen Shiu was very sincere in asking Steven to “participate” in the movie. Didn’t Steven say that SS called him on his birthday but he was at the airport on his way to Taiwan and so he didn’t promise him anything, then when he returned to HK, it was not mentioned again until the director Patrick Kong called him several months later? If they’re such good friends, why didn’t SS call Steven back? And the reports differ regarding the photoshoot as well – when SS called, he asked Steven to film ‘funeral potrait’ while Patrick Kong asked him to film ‘wedding pictures’? Maybe I’m reading too much into it but something just seems fishy to me about this whole thing…llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346627119722443421.post-89219584268383176402015-11-12T10:15:00.387-05:002015-11-12T10:15:00.387-05:00Maybe it did not even occur to Stephen (or that he...Maybe it did not even occur to Stephen (or that he wasn't aware) that it was Steven's birthday that day.

Given this extra, defining information, "my last year birthday" (上年我生日) Steven was not an afterthought after all, so I gladly take back what I said about the whole matter about him being slighted, used and discarded. Just two omitted words, "上年", can so effectively change the whole picture and perspective for me. So Helen Ma's 2014 Dec weibo happily declaring that Lai Shun was in the cast is true after all. Now, I'm all right with Steven agreeing to a cameo in the series.<br />Tamayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527095699512743403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346627119722443421.post-13274027806024722015-11-10T20:01:34.291-05:002015-11-10T20:01:34.291-05:00Btw, you can always rant away / vent on my blog ov...Btw, you can always rant away / vent on my blog over anything.

Well, I wou...LOL…I will continue my rant then! ;-)<br /><br />Well, I wouldn’t necessarily use the word ‘doormat’….I would rather say that Steven is way too ‘nice’ and the reality is, nice guys get taken advantage of. I would’ve loved for him to say ‘no’, but knowing him, I’m sure he wouldn’t have the heart to say it. It’s something I admire about him, but at the same time, it’s also very frustrating. I would much rather hear that Steven was not in the movie at all (so I can continue to yell at the director/production company for their bias) than to hear that, once again, Steven’s ‘niceness’ got the better of him….<br />llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346627119722443421.post-19369449574277971072015-11-10T17:45:38.327-05:002015-11-10T17:45:38.327-05:00Don't be sorry, your rant took the words right...Don't be sorry, your rant took the words right out of my mouth! But...does that mean Steven is a doormat to be walked all over by other people? He could have said 'no' but he preferred to be Mr. Nice Guy 爛好人. <br /><br />Understand that this movie is produced solely for Kwan Ho and Man Chor's shippers, it has no room for Lai Shun's existence. Lai Shun can't appear on screen to engender sympathy for his character- a husband who was but a 2nd best in his beloved wife's heart. A wife who betrayed him in thoughts longing for another man. He must die (divorce is not definitive enough) in order for Kwan Ho and Man Chor to fully consummate their love. Steven has said as much. lol! Just thank God that they did not make Lai Shun out to be a bad and undeserving husband.Tamayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13527095699512743403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346627119722443421.post-23091745380088237222015-11-10T17:22:07.250-05:002015-11-10T17:22:07.250-05:00Not just you disliking guys in suits with bulky sn...Not just you disliking guys in suits with bulky sneakers and/or shoes no socks - from lurking in forums, we are the majority disliking that haphazard fashion style.

Honestly, how messed up is that? Most of the minor characters got invited back to film the movie, yet Steven – who was one of the leads – wasn’t even considered from the getgo…and now when the director finds it would be ‘convenient’ for them or help ‘hype’ the movie, they decide to ask Steven to film a few second scene (AND attend the promo event to boot!) as an afterthought. If that’s not “using” Steven for their benefit, I don’t know what is! So lame! Makes me lose respect for both Stephen Shiu (not that I had much respect for him in the first place, lol) and director Patrick Kong….(sorry, I'll stop ranting now...)llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346627119722443421.post-62546237606554303922015-11-10T15:15:48.391-05:002015-11-10T15:15:48.391-05:00In terms of the movie’s plot….three words: sappy ...In terms of the movie’s plot….three words: sappy melodrama overload!!! The more I read about the movie (and more I watch the trailers), the less interested I am in watching the movie itself. From the beginning, I had felt that it wasn’t necessary to make this movie in the first place and I still feel the same way even now – but whatever, doesn’t matter what I think, as I’m sure this movie is going to do well at the box office no matter what, given all the hype and promotion surrounding it (plus there are plenty of people who want to watch Chor Gor Gor and Kwan Ho reunite, regardless of how lame the plot of the movie is).<br /><br />Oh, I wanted to ask…is it just me or does Steven’s scene sound familiar? When I read the part about how “Lai Shun comforts a guilt-wrecked Kwan Ho to accept her one great love”, the first thing that came to mind was that scene from Point of No Return (also starring Charmaine and Chilam) where Sammul’s character, on his death bed, tells his wife Charmaine to go back to her true love (Chilam)….talk about recycled plot/story arcs!<br />llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346627119722443421.post-78747976978328177402015-11-10T15:14:34.313-05:002015-11-10T15:14:34.313-05:00True, Steven has always been a very loyal and righ...True, Steven has always been a very loyal and righteous person who deeply values his friendships – all admirable qualities that contribute to why we like him so much. But by the same token, also makes it easy for people to take advantage of him by utilizing those friendships to ‘right’ any ‘wrongs’ they might have done him (same thing happened with TVB where he agreed to film for them again after what they did to him)….ah well – I guess it’s better to take the high road than to burn bridges….<br /><br />Haha…I actually didn’t even notice Chilam, as Steven’s shoes were way more distracting. Man, what is up with guys wearing shoes with no socks when they have a suit on? Not only that, they also wear pants that are way too short – why? So they can show off the fact that they didn’t wear socks? Argh…sorry, kind of a pet peeve of mine….lol…I grew up in the era of guys always wearing socks with dress shoes whenever they don a suit or tux, so it’s hard for me to get used to seeing guys wearing suits with sneakers and/or shoes no socks….<br />llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346627119722443421.post-37558657476588684412015-11-10T14:58:25.352-05:002015-11-10T14:58:25.352-05:00For me, suits with sneakers just don't match b...For me, suits with sneakers just don't match but guess it is the fashion trend now.

Now I just hope that scene was done well (which, from the way Steven described it, sounds like it was)…<br /><br />P.S.: I hate the shoes!
