news 2012 April: Steven Ma talked about his 6 "Bo Lok"
On.cc video clip link
4th installment to Steven Ma's 5-piece interview with oriental daily 4/12/2012
无名小卒到一线小生 马浚伟谈6位伯乐助成功
马浚伟：珍姐见我就闹，好hurt!
Steven Ma: Whenever Zhan Jie Saw Me, She would Scold Me, I was Hurt!
Steven Ma, from a nameless nobody to today's first line siu sang, the whole process with its twists and turns has been most arduous. However, among those six mentors or bo lok he spoke of, who at different phase had given him much help, Catherine Tsang who loved (sek) him was actually also the one who scolded him the harshest!
The first person who turned my life around was a singing teacher, Leung Yue Ling. In 1993 I competed in the 3rd Pioneer Laser Karaoke Singing Competition; Tai Si Chung was the chief judge. When I won the competition, Teacher Tai arranged for me to join a record company. During that time, I truly transformed from a housing estate resident to a singer. After entering the industry, I was most grateful to have met Paco Wong (黄柏高), but I feel that I had let him down because at the time I had had the opportunity to sing a duet with Sally Yip, and Paco had secured Mark Lui as the producer for my albums, but unfortunately at that time I was still 'unformed' therefore did not handle it well. Earlier, I partook a meal with Paco and the past was brought up, he said:"Those days you did not fully release your latent potential! But nowadays you are a first line siu sang leading in many series, so that's good!" I was moved by his words.
Record Company Wouldn't Renew Contract
My 3rd record released in 1995 did not generate a good result so the record company would not renew my contract. I was prepared to leave the music industry and resumed my past job as a 'plastic' salesman. But then at the pivotal point, Zhan Jie (TVB Director of Production, Catherine Tsang) told me to go for a screen test that landed me the role of Emperor Kangxi in the series, Duke of Mt. Deer 1998, which successfully transformed me into a TV actor. Though many people knew Zhan Jie loved (sek) me but unknown to them, whenever she saw me she would scold me. I was quite hurt inside, actually! When I was a youngster I accidentally chipped the front tooth and it was not untilI became a singer when Teacher Dai suggested to get it fixed. Although the outward appearance had improved it inadvertently affected my speech making me speak quite unnaturally. Watching my series performance, Zhan Jie noticed that. She dragged me to face a mirror, all the time scolding me: "If you can't change that then quit la!" I knew it was because she cared about me so wanted me to improve; this indebtedness (恩情) is indelibly imprinted in my heart!
And there are two more to thank: Stephan Chan (TVB former General Manager) and Tsui Jie (Tsui Rong Rong, a former news journalist) . These two have also played a pivotal part in my acting career.

Steven Ma Grateful to Stephen Chan for keeping his word.
Reposting of this article disallowed.
2011/05/27On.cc Recently, Steven has been said to have changed his religious faith therefore is now been highly utilized by Stephen Chan. During the recording of Apprentice Chef, Steven denied the above claim, and strongly stressed that in the past he has never subscribed to religious faith, although he has attended 藝人之家 ( a group of baptist group comprised of HK artists) but has not yet being baptized.
Steven says candidly that earlier on he has had wanted to leave the nest. At that time, Stephen Chan invited him for a negotiation discussion. Steven says he desired his own culinary show and to sing, so his present jobs are the realization of Mr. Chan's earlier promises made to him. Steven is grateful to the latter's responsibility and that he keeps his promise.
TN: I'm so glad Steven clarifies that he became Christian not because of Stephen Chan's influence. Like I have mentioned earlier, Steven had already publicly revealed on weibo his Christian faith after much spiritual searching on his own not because of somebody's influence.

Steven Ma Totally Depends on Stephen Chan
1st Weekly vol: 1107
2011 June 2nd
Disclaimer: This is a tabloid reporting with its usual dollop of salt and vinegar seasoning, so read it with a grain of salt.
Ever since Stephen Chan got entangled in a corruption case, favorite generals Amigo Chui and Patrick Tang drew a clear boundary from him. Since his reinstatement to his post at TVB in November 2010, President Chan displays a change of style from his usual, even when he assisted jobless Amigo Chui to get outside job; no words were mentioned of it, very low profile indeed.
But the remaining Chan party member, Steven Ma, still receives President Chan’s patronage, besides a custom made Book of Words being arranged for him to host so as to heighten his image, the second season of Apprentice Chef will also be ostentatiously launched. Their relationship is getting more intimate. As the lead ‘honey’, Steven, who had previously believed in feng shui and numerology now believes in Jesus Christ because of President Chan. (see note1)
Last Friday, May 20th, Stephen Chan left work at 7 pm and in a 7-seater white Toyota van was driven to Tsim Sha Tsui. H was later dropped off at Granville Road where he met up with Steven Ma, Pastor Enoch Lam, and Sharon Chan, who has taken time off for several months due to illness. They partook a private dinner together during their bible study. The four of them left around eleven o’clock at night. While waiting for their rides, President Chan chatted incessantly with Steven and et al. When the van arrived, President Chan and Pastor Lam got into it, while Steven got into another similar style and color van and was driven away by the chauffeur back to his Ho Man Tin residence.
Abandoned one after another by Amigo Chui and Patrick Tang, President Chan now focuses his attention on his other favorite general, Steven Ma. Apparently, President Chan not only supported the latter to host the 2nd season, Book of Words, but also privately thought of gimmicks to aggressively re-package the 2nd season Apprentice Chef from a previously less known prequel, even as to invite various master chefs to competitions so as to create momentum for the show and to hype up Steven’s popularity.
An employee reveals: “Mr. Chan is very low profile theses days, even though he is concerned about Ma Zai’s program he won’t butt in with opinions. Like in Book of Words, actually he and Steven and another professor brainstormed over its premise. And then would let Steven voice out the ideas. So whatever guests Steven wanted to invite is fine, even the producer, Fok Jak Gei, had to listen to him and could not change the people. In Apprentice Chef (2), Mr. Chan gave him lots of ideas, thus making the gimmick works much better. Last season did not have too much atmosphere; this time will be much more merrier.”
To build up his favorite general, President Chan has earlier arranged a meeting between Steven and the owners of a movie company, Lam Siu Ming and Wong Hoi Fung, in hopes of opening up a new outlet for Steven for him to get into the film circle. Their relationship has become tighter. Influenced thus by President Chan, Steven, who previously believed in Buddhism and feng shui, suddenly changed steerage and following suit now believes in Christ.*
An insider says: “Earlier on when Ma Zai was off work, they two seemed very close. They even went to watch Faye Wong’s concert together. ** Because President Chan has a lawsuit pending, it is not convenient for him to get too close to the artists. So they mostly made arrangements to meet up with Pastor Lam for meals and talks. Even though in the past President Chan would find people to do feng shui, but after his problems started, he has turned to Christ. He has shared a lot of his personal experiences with Ma Zai. Now that Ma Zai also believes in Christ, they having the same faith makes it easier to communicate.”
Footnote to * and **: Steven has earlier disclosed his Christian faith in his weibo last year so his change of religious belief is not because of Stephen Chan's influence but way before then. But I do believe that their having similar faith must have expedited their communication.
** Again disclosed in his weibo, Steven mentioned watching Faye Wong concert with a group of people including Fala and her boyfriend. A weibo's posting of a picture also shows that among tvb artistes at the concert, Raymond Lam and Charmaine Sheh were there too. Not just Steven with Stephen as implied in this report.

忽然一週800期]樂易玲調離無綫 志雲一統天下
Although Stephen Chan has been charged with bribery by the ICAC, but due to the embattled TVB’s woes that include its impasse with the Big Four over royalties, the impact of laissez-faire television licensing next year, and its diminishing series sales in overseas market, 6th Aunt (Mona Fong), in the interest of the company, has decided to take the risk of reinstating the lawsuit entangled Stephen Chan to his post for salvation. Stephen Chan not only returned with much grandeur but supposedly with his power increased, too. Early next year, his nemesis, Director of Human and Production Resources, Virginia Lok, will be transferred to Shaw as the person in charge of film production development. And as such, Mr. Chan will henceforth reign supreme; no wonder he was in such high spirit on the night of the anniversary gala.
Some legal professionals considered 6th Aunt’s decision to let Stephen resume work to be risky. Attorney Leung and Attorney Qin believed that TVB’s image will be further damaged if Mr. Chan is later convicted of his charges. The reason behind 6th Aunt's risky move, besides needing Stephen for deliverance, is because of TVB’s imminent political change of weather!

Stephen Chan's Latest Favorite? - March of Million People
Steven as part of tvb group participated in march of million people. Since he walked alongside Stephan Chan during the march, in an interview with Steven, reporters asked if he is Stephen Chan's latest favorite.
Steven: There's a connection in that? They had all lined up already, nothing to do with me. (They especially left that spot for you) Nah, I guess it's because Watchdog is airing right now. Really it had nothing to do with being favored or not. What I'm most happy about is not whether being favored or not but that TVB is gradually fulfilling its contractual promises to me. Such as the cooking show and the preparation of my new album. So I'm very grateful to the management.

2009-10-29

below write up is from Stephen Chan tvb artistes.com 富豪东方酒店 Regal Oriental Hotel
2009-10-30 The gist of it:
The newly renovated 富豪东方酒店 (previously 富豪机场酒店) and its resident Chinese cuisine restaurant 「富豪坊」held a grand opening ceremony today Oct 28th 2009. Steven is today's special guest. He not only participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony but also did the propitious writing for the restaurant. To prepare for this calligraphy blessing he worked on his calligraphic skill diligently for three hours.
Steven said: "I don't have a basic foundation on calligraphy nor am I knowledgeable in it."
But from my observation, it is impressive that Steven with just a short three hour training could obtain such a result in his calligraphy.
