News 11-14 2014 Steven Ma attending a Cantonese Opera show

Last night Loong Kin Sang [龍劍笙(阿刨)] held her Cantonese opera show《任藝笙輝念濃情》in memory of her mentor Yam Kim Fai ( 任劍輝) at the HK Cultural Center. Many artistes including Liza Wang and Law Ka Ying, Teresa Cheung and her husband, and Steven Ma attended her show.

Steven says when he heard that Loong was having the opera he immediately called up the organizer (tn: Tsui YY) to get him a ticket. He says that the last time he saw Loong was way back in Canada, when he was out there on a gig.  At the time his (former) colleague/friend  (tn: probably Tsui Yong Yong) had a brunch appointment with Loong so he tagged along, as having lunch with Loong was indeed even harder than winning the lottery.  Since then they had not met so he truly cherishes her show tonight.  (Q: Are you going to surreptitiously observe and learn the (opera) skills from her? 偷師) Steven says it is impossible to 'steal' skills from her; she's that good.  When asked about adding shows, Steven says she should and hopes that she would, so as not to disappoint her fans who could not make it tonight.  Stevens says he hopes to meet with Loong backstage after the show to take a picture with her. (Q: So you want to collect Bao Jie stamp?) Steven says: Definitely!

When asked about his present situation he said recently he was in Taiwan on vacation, and that later he would be filming a tv series in mainland.  When asked about the recent news on TVB plans to completely overhaul the Children's program, and on TVB executive, Sandy Yu's  'blood transfusion' shake-up plan of firing 5% employees annually, and later hiring 5% new employees to replace them, Steven says he has heard of it.  He says: "Though I'm no longer a TVB employee but my sentiment towards it remains. I hope TVB will retain some of the current employees. We all have sentiment for the company, and support reforms but I hope TVB will also take into account the human aspect too."

Steven's weibo response: 今天 14:19
Pao Jie's performance last night was incredible. A 100 thousand likes! The two newcomer performers were also excellent, add oil! P.S. I did not collect Pao Jie stamp, instead I was 'collected' by many jiejie. (older sisters)  昨晚刨姐演出簡直無得頂，十萬個like! 兩位新人也很好，加油！p.s.我昨晚集唔到刨姐郵，不過就比好多姐姐集咗

Note: Haha! The 'stamp collector' became the "stamp collected".  The analogy of the Cantonese coined phrase, "stamp collection" (集郵) is that instead of stamps, people can collect other stuff to add to their collections. In this case, Steven wanting to take photos with Loong to add to his photos collection of famous people.

"Lee Chong Wei, I want to tell you this. I've watched your past matches with Lin Dan, truth be told, I rooted for my national shuttler, Lin Dan, to win, and he did not disappoint. Your losses notwithstanding, in my eye and that of many badminton fans, you too are also an exceptional professional shuttler, and likewise admired by many.

馬浚偉笑稱「腳頭好」望港人開心生活

Since leaving TVB, Steven Ma's career has going well. Yesterday, at the Fulam (Seafood) Group Holding Ltd. Company's commemoration event of it becoming a listed company, Steven admitted forthrightly that he is well-paid as the spokesperson for the company, when probed he said it (fee) is in the 7-figure ballpark. As to Hong Kong Umbrella Movement, Steven hopes that Hong Kong people would use compassion, tolerance and peaceful methods to resolve the problem so that they can all have a happy life.

Steven is the spokesperson for two restaurant chain in Hong Kong, one after another they both became listed companies.  Steven jests that he is a good luck charm (to other people "腳頭好") so if any company wants to get listed in the future, just look him up as its spokesperson.  He reveals that he broke his habit of not eating mooncake  when he did the mooncake commercial.

When the subject of Hong Kong Umbrella Movement was brought up, Steven says when watching the news on tv he was worried by the numerous skirmishes. He hopes that people can maintain their equanimity, and not resort to using verbal or physical abuses to resolve the situation. He says: "Regardless students, protesters or the police, actually they all are exhausted. I hope they can resolve this situation thru compassion and tolerance. Don't condemn, don't fight; instead try to use some peaceful means to resolve the situation."

Steven says that he believes the students' motive, from the start of their truancy to their sit-down protest, was well-intentioned but that there were indeed some radical protesters in the demonstration. As he was not there, so was unable to determine those people's identities, he however stresses that he is totally against radical words and extreme actions, and hopes they would embrace that 'Living under the Lion Rock's (HK people) spirit' (獅子山精神). Let go of their conflict, focus on communication, and use peaceful methods to resolve the situation. He hopes they can all have a happy life.
