馬浚偉未決定回巢拍劇

Artiste Steven Ma attended a safety patrol event today. It is said that TVB executive Catherine Tsang is persuading Steven to return to film a series in May.  Steven admitted that the two of them have been talking but at this time he has not decided yet. "Zan Jie (Catherine Tsang) is my 'sifu' (master). My first choice would be to talk with 'sifu'.  But have not talked about the contract details.  Hopefully will do that before Chinese New Year."  (Will return?)  "I've many options.  Hong Kong or mainland, there are people wanting me to film series."  When asked under what conditions will he return, he said: "I'm not pursuing money, most important are the script and partner. (Who would make you want to return?) "Would also like to work with Fala Chen or Tavia"

TN: "also" meaning Steven must have mentioned other actresses besides Fala and Tavia.  Reporter put words in Steven's mouth, in a much later separate tv interview Steven clarified that he did not especially pick Tavia or any of his sisters for that matter as his return tv series female lead. 

So boring to always see Steven partnering his 3 sisters. Can we have some new partnerships with other big fadans, please, pretty please?  But then, TVB has no more big fadans left.  Just can't get myself excited by this news of Steven returning to TVB. Probably just the same old same old TVB series with Uncle Choi and one of his sisters.  Haiz! I'm more excited to watch his performance in LOTYEF.

Steven Ma to Return to nest TVB

Answering Catherine Tsang's Summon, Steven Ma is Confirmed to Return to Nest (TVB) in May to shoot a series.
马浚伟确定回巢TVB 五月拍新剧为恩师曾励珍効命

The two TVB executives, Catherine Tsang and Virginia Lok, continue frenziedly to look for trusted allies to fortify their power. Incidentally, there was a recent rumor that Ms. Lok's prized general, Raymond Lam, was so disheartened he wants to retire from showbiz, and that Tsang seeing this opportunity promptly and successfully got Dayo wong and Charmaine Sheh to return to nest to shoot a series, and that allegedly her ‘prized general’, Steven Ma, is also confirmed to return to TVB in May to render his service to his ‘mentor’, Catherine Tsang.

Earlier, during the anniversary awards season, both Catherine Tsang and Virginia Lok diligently rallied votes for their respective ‘prized general’, in the end, Tsang’s prized general, Wayne Lai, defeated Raymond Lam to become a three time tv king winner. Allegedly, so disheartened by his loss Raymond Lam had wanted to retire from entertainment.  Meanwhile, Ms. Lok’s second prized general, Kevin Cheng, is vigorously digging gold up in the north and has no intention of returning to nest any time soon. Seizing this opportunity, Tsang set out to get her people to return such as former producers Tsui Ching Hong (徐正康) and Lee Yim Fong (李艷芳), and artists Charmaine Sheh and Dayo Wong are confirmed to return to nest. Another Tsang’s prized general, Steven Ma, who previously terminated early his tvb management contract in late February last year due to discord with the TVB artists management department. Allegedly after the contract was terminated, Tsang and another TVB executive, Au Wai Lam, immediately tried to convince Steven to sign a per series contract with them but at the time Steven was already participating in the mainland series, ‘The Legend of the Yuan Dynasty Founder’ so he had choice but to decline. Last September,  Tsang personally looked up Steven to shoot a 30 episode series but because of schedule conflict he again declined.

Although Steven’s contract is still under negotiation, but Tsang has already verbally approved to have him returned to TVB in May to shoot Producer Leung Choi Yuen’s new series. To show her sincerity, Tsang personally discussed the contract terms and conditions with Steven. Yesterday, over the phone, Tsang admitted that Steven is coming back: "A year ago I had already asked him to return lah!” In his phone interview Steven said candidly: “Zan Jeh has always been in touch with me. But at this moment, I cannot promise anything just yet because there are still many details to finalize. Anyway, before Chinese New Year, I'll have a more definite answer.”

On an aside, Ricky Wong, who has been trying to get Steven to join them since the first day of the previous Chinese New Year, had invited Steven to join their CTI’s (HKTV) recent promotional event but because of his awkward position Steven declined to attend.

Steven Ma's performance accompanied with fireworks

马浚伟烟火伴表演 1/03/2013

2012/12/31 New Year's eve. Steven Ma was the countdown guest performer in the "Love in the Central and Western District New Year's Eve Countdown Bash"「爱在中西区劲歌热舞除夕缤纷倒数夜2012」held in Tamar Park. Together with the crowd he counted down the new year amid much boisterous excitement and exuberance, and with fireworks lighting up the night sky in myriad colors.

Steven hollered happy new year to everybody and wished them good health, happiness, and success for the new year.

Steven said: "It had been a long time since I last countdown the new year out in the open like this, and what's more be able to sing at the same time watch the fireworks display. So happy!

"2013 is my 20th year in the industry. This song, "Lucky is to have met you" was my first recorded song. Tonight, I'm very happy to see the crowd's excitement and their support. And what's more, my family was here to show support, too. Also I met friends whom I'd not seen for 10 years or so. So despite the cold weather I felt warm and fuzzy inside.

I wish everybody good health, happiness and success for the new year! But I want to stressed on one thing: from this year 2013 onward, besides taking care of ourselves, we'll also take care of our environment and protect our earth. Doomsday 2012 did not happen but the reality is, our earth is presently facing lots of adversities. I hope everybody will be more considerate of our environment, more conscious of what's happening in our world, hence, become more protective of our earth."
