Steven Ma Wins Third Prize in Lottery on His Birthday
Steven Ma attended the 10th Central and Western Festival event as an ambassador. Steven's nose allergies were acting up, so he took the risk of singing off-key and sang [during the event]. He said, "I won the third prize in a lottery on my birthday. I thought it was over a million dollars, but there were 110 winners, so I only won $30,000. The lottery ticket was a birthday gift from my assistant, so I will give him half. (How will you be spending it?) Treat friends out to dinner. (There were reports saying that you told Ngo Ka Nin to 'go to hell'.) Ka Nin has already called me and said that he didn't say it [was me]. He felt that it made me upset, and he felt sorry. He only said that a veteran's words have hurt him. I need to explain because I want to prove my innocence. I am a guy, so I will not say 'go to hell'. Also, I just collaborated with Ka Nin last year. We have never collaborated before. The matter is now being handled by my lawyer!"

*收皮 = an insulting way of expressing contempt for someone, telling them to leave

Hyn5's commentary
"Steven and Ka Nin have already cleared things up through Weibo."

weibo 2010-10-30 18:09
Steven Ma: "I received a call from Ka Nin this afternoon. He apologized to me because a certain article framed him saying that Ka Nin said that I once insulted him, and told him to XX. Ka Nin expressed to me that he never said that that person was me. It was someone he met ten years ago. Ka Nin said that he is very unhappy that someone had made this up, and he hopes that I don't misunderstand! I want to say that I, too, cannot accept this frame-upon-frame behaviour. I will let my lawyer deal with this matter! Ka Nin, take care of your injury. Don't worry!"

Ngo Ka Nin: "Ma Jai, I am really sorry. The reports have affected you. I would like to apologize to you here. Sorry, Ma Jai".

Steven Ma: "Silly boy, you have already clearly explained it this afternoon. They framed you for framing me. I'd be an idiot to believe it! Remember what I told you. You must handle your eye with care. If you see many flashes, you must go to the hospital immediately. It can be very dangerous! Take care of your injury, Spare Rib Boy!"

Ngo Ka Nin: "Understood".

Steven Ma on Birthday Remembers Mother; Received a Gold Mickey Mouse & a Safe as Auspicious Gifts

 馬浚偉生日念親恩 收金老鼠及「夾萬」好意頭
10/27/2010

 1}I%yO

Yesterday was Seven Ma’s birthday.  He initially thought he would spend his birthday at work, but due to the schedule postponement of his new series’, Imperial Bodyguards, he got an unexpected day off.  Therefore, the night before he called up old friends with October birthdays namely, Lam King Kong (Steven’s elder brother in LOW) and “Ah Ma”, Suet Nie jie (Safeguards) to a crab (大閘蟹 Chinese mitten crab) and hotpot dinner.  Afterwards they went to a restaurant with a beautiful night scene to welcome the stroke of midnight, at which time, they cut the cake together to celebrate.  Both of them kissed Shuet Nei jie on the cheek.   Also in a rare public showing of affection, Shuet Nei jie and husband, 唐佳, kissed each other; all very heart-warming indeed! Just like Steven  said: (in weibo) “Birthday had friends and also beautiful view as company; what more can a man ask for!”

Just entering the 26^th day and already Steven ’s cellphone was nonstop receiving well wishes text messages from friends.  Of course, they included good friends both males and females from the entertainment circle such as: Tavia Yeung, Linda Chung, Fala Chen, and Bosco Wong, etc.  Steven  was very happy and did not forget to add: "Who say Sonija and I are on bad terms, see, I received her well wishes text message too!”

Steven expresses (in weibo): Very thankful to all brothers and sisters (including friends and fans)  for their well wishes, very thankful and very moved too! Actually, I have one mindset that has never changed. Birthday to me is a day of remembrance for my mother. That day was her most painful day but at that time besides crying, I knew nothing! Haha! Mother has left me many years now, but this day every year, my mindset remains the same, and also every year my first wish is this: Wishing Mama you will always be happy!

　 ‑){�,v&[

Steven feels that all mothers on earth are great; no wonder Steven is very respectful to Shuet Nei jie, who has only collaborated once with him as his mother in Safeguards.  Suet Nei jie expresses that though she has acted only once as Steven’s mother, they are very compatible with each other.  She appreciates Steven’s good character and culture; he has the traditional virtues of Chinese people; he honors his teachers and their teachings; he is diligent at work, and acts with his heart. So what does Suet Nei jie think of Steven’s opportunity in competing for the award through Ghost Writer role?  She says: “Actually in both Safeguards and Land of Wealth, Steven was already exceptionally outstanding, but unfortunately lacks a "powerful patronage luck".  I also feel that he lacks a bit of luck, too."

jMB &(r Steven thanks “Ah Ma”, Suet Nei, for her appraisal. He said candidly what actors would not want an award.  His Ghost Writer though pitted against World Cup still garnered good ratings, so he has confidence in himself.  But then getting an award depends on the lining up of heaven, earth and people.  Just like taking an exam, conscientious studying does not guarantee high grades.  Series aired closer to anniversary will of course have an added advantage.  Maybe my acquiring awards luck is not too good, but I feel my luck is not all that bad, either. aMy

cvYz H  I have had many opportunities to perform, and every time both the reviews and ratings are not bad.  If not tv king, then continue to work hard for it.  I still have much to improve on.  Steven laughs and says regardless whether or not he will get his hand on the award, Ghost Writer has already brought him substantial bonuses.  The last month’s extra income is equivalent to a year of filming series.       

Because Steven lacks a bit of “acquiring awards luck”, this year birthday he acquired a  'gou yan's' (superior person) well wishes.  His good friend especially gave him a golden Mickey Mouse to ‘wong’ him (to bring prosperity/success, rub off the gold on him).  Also there is a friend who gave him a safe, (gap man) to symbolize good fortune, and hope that he will fill it up with dollar notes and house titles.  Steven says: “This is a very special birthday gift.  I’ve a low crisis awareness, truly have not thought of buying one to store the house title.  Thank you to my friend for such thoughtfulness!”

Talking about this year’s birthday wishes, Steven says: "Wish that things will go smoothly! The inner being of Nip Dou Bo in Imperial Bodyguards is very complicated.  Very challenging.  I will surprise everybody.  I hope next year I can buy an apartment.  Because the value of my current apartment has risen, so motivated me to buy an apartment." 

Suet Nei jie expresses that in the past after working for seven years or so in the film industry she got married and retired henceforth, enjoying life for many years; thirteen years ago she re-entered the industry.  She is very happy filming series for the television station. She is happy with her life journey so far and does not have any special wishes, just good health.

Since the weather has turned chilly Steven said he had to sleep with a hat on.  Steven said laughingly: Despite the frequent shaving, I'm not worry my hair won't grow back."  This time his character is a highly skilled martial arts person so he has to practise some kung fu moves.

Steven Ma To Release Album, Re-Entering Music Scene

2010/10/12 Steven Ma To Release Album, Re-Entering Music Scene
In recent years, Steven Ma has become a specialist of TVB ancient period dramas. The other day, he had a costume fitting for a sales presentation program that will be aired on the 9th of next month. With his glued on beard, he portrayed 2nd Brother Guan. (Guan Yu). The shooting of the series promotional video will commence next year; the series tackles time travel.

Lately, thanks to Ghost Writer, Steven Ma has received many outside jobs in Mainland China doing performances. It is said that this series has enabled Steven to enter the anniversary awards battle circle to compete against Moses Chan and Wayne Lai for TV King. Also, he may an opportunity to return to the music scene and release an album.

It is said that a Mainland records company is negotiating with TVB to purchase the copyright to Steven’s Ghost Writer theme song, so as to record a Mandarin version. The company also plans to record an album of all Steven’s theme songs to be released in both Hong Kong and China. Regarding Steven releasing an album, Mrs. Lin, the owner of the intermediary company, Fung Hang Records Ltd, yesterday confirmed over the phone that her company is indeed presently negotiating to purchase the theme song of Ghost Writer. She also said that she is very confident towards Steven re-entering the music scene.

Song Jie Secret Talk: Ma Zai TV King

Song Jie Secret Talk: Ma Zai TV King
Lately, I have no interest whatsover in TVB series because those few series aired have no dramatic flavor in them at all. Even that series “Can’t Buy Me Love” that is so overblown by everybody; to me, it is merely a farce, a resplendently packaged farce, that’s all. I choose to only watch the sitcom, Someday, because it has an outstanding pairing of Teresa Mo with Wayne Lai, along with Louise Lee, Crystal Tin and Aimee Chan, as well as other characters who all have much room to showcase their roles. Moreover, the content is on everyday living and real life related. This is my cup of tea! 　

TVB anniversary is coming up soon, and the programs sector has come up with a huge collection of new series. Among them that caught my interest is “Back To The Three Kingdoms”《回到三國》. I have also seen Steven Ma’s makeover as Guan Gong. Ma Zai (Steven) seldom has this kind of looks in a series. He looks very handsome and great (play on his name Chun Wai (浚/俊偉)) and also very impressive looking. Don’t know if TVB will truly produce “Back To The Three Kingdoms” as a series or not. As to this annual sales presentation, TVB always comes up with fresh ideas to attract commercial sponsors. If “Back To The Three Kingdoms” is truly a story on The Three Kingdoms, then much effort must be put into a good script, and must also have a larger investment, and go to Mainland China for outdoor scenery. But I believe Hong Kong does not have this capability to film “The Three Kingdoms”; nevertheless, hope Ma Zai has the opportunity to perform this kind of roles.

Ma Zai is a very special kind of artist in TVB. He can perform in a non-mainstream series, and moreover, effectively grasped the essence of his characters in the series. Like the character of Pu Song Ling, who is an unfamiliar character to us; that he could portray him so brilliantly, shows his skill. He does not exert special efforts to fight for the tv king title, but he will have this opportunity.

Yay! Steven's supporters for tv king are slowly but steadily emerging.
Other people have also said Steven is a one of a kind artist in TVB.

Steven Ma Saw Auspicious Cloud Palm

Steven Ma Saw Auspicious Cloud Palm.
For the past one and a half months, Steven Ma had been busy ‘digging gold’ in Australia, New York, Toronto and Mainland China. Recently, he went to Zhong Shan for a performance organized by a real estate development company, and was handsomely rewarded for it. Ma Zai is grateful to TVB and his manager for obtaining so many performance engagements for him, but more so, he is grateful to Ghost Writer, the series, for opening up numerous money-making opportunities for him.

As to Ghost Writer garnering high ratings despite being pitted against World Cup, I ask Ma Zai if he has confidence competing for the TV King award? He says nonchalantly: “Just go with the flow lah! It’s beyond my control.” But en route to Zhong Shan he had a strange encounter. He says: “En route to Zhong Shan for my gig, I saw many strange looking sights in the sky. First, saw a cloud that shaped like Buddha. Then I saw two lightning flashes, one after another. Both times flashed as twin bolts, and sank straight down towards the sea. I saw that the cloud shapes were very unusual so I immediately picked up my camera to snap pictures of them. When we reached the hotel, I had the staff take my photos. When we looked at the photos, all of us immediately cried out. The cloud looked like a giant hand palm. Really looked like it.”

The sighting of a “cloud palm”, could it be a lucky omen from heaven intimating that Ma Zai will get the tvb king big award? When Ma Zai hears the word, ‘award’, he laughs so hard he cannot stop. He says: “Haha! If true, then it’s not bad at all! But, don’t know if the company will give me the “Buddha’s Divine Award” 『如來神獎』or not? ”
