I Spy Game
SM weibo 2014-12-21 18:48
Steven spotted buying fruits at the market by the pix uploader. He must have stopped by the fruit stall to buy some fruits after his badminton game. (I spy the humongous badminton bag).

Tidbit: Chow Yun Fat's view on TVB siu sang.
Chow Yun Fat also commended some tvb siu sang; he looks favorably on Moses Chan, Steven Ma, Bosco Wong, Bobby Au-Yeung, Vincent Wong and Raymond Wong Ho-Yin. news.sina link
Huh! Belatedly found the below videos. Either Steven's name was inadvertently omitted (doesn't look like it) or the news reporter mistakenly reported Steven's name on the favored list. Michael Tse was not on news reports but was mentioned in the video. ontv video link ; sun news
So this is how one (lazy/negligent) reporter's mistake propagated by other (just as lazy) news agencies as facts. If Fat gor truly did not mention Steven's name but was reported wrongly and disseminated widely, then that's awkward for Steven.
Anyway, when Fat gor first praised Moses for his performance in Can't Buy Me Love, which I thought was so horrible it was cringeworthy, I knew his and my appreciation of actors' performances differ, and now with Fat gor's favoring Michael Tse' acting too (dislike his acting since Laughing) and Raymond Wong's (though he was great in Sweetness in Salt and Bottled Passion, but his later performances left much to be desired) anyway just with these 3 actors, there is no doubt in my mind that our opinions on actors with good acting skills differed greatly. But I do like the Bosco's, Vincent's and of course like Bobby's performances.

Sundry: Request.
Crystin comment: The song: 似是水中花, with Steven's dancing in "Step". Just finished it.
Hi Crystin, thank you so much. I love your mv overall, honestly, that's why I hate to make this special request, a big favor because you have already completed the mv. But could you please incorporate the slow dance sequence (just the 1st opening dance) of Steven and Bernice performed in TVB 40th Anniversary gala night? (below) If too much trouble then forget it, the mv is fine as it is. Don't you think there's this hauntingl similarity in the two songs?
I used to have a better quality video than this one from youtube but my external back up disk became corrupted so lost all my files in it.
Below is the link to my some of my STEPS comments reposted here. I really enjoyed Steps a lot.

It's Risky Business in Mainland
Ada Choi's recent hair-raising experience with a mainland business company brought to mind Steven's own scary experience in 2004 (filming Snake Curse 《蛇咒》) when he was unexpectedly put in a dire predicament by an unscrupulous mainland assistant producer, and how he resolved that crisis. AF link
Excerpt from a 2006 news report

**************************************************************************
Incident described in more details: 2007 Anna Chau radio transcript
Extortion
A: As to your deepest impression of losing your temper, was it that one time when you were doing a stage performance?
S: oh, yes!
A: Can you talk about?
S: Sure, but it wasn’t a stage performance, it’s filming a movie.
A: but it became a stage performance.
S: At that time, it wasn’t plain losing my temper. Actually to protect myself, I transformed into a different person. What happened is that I went to a very remote, mountain town to shoot a movie. My whole contract was just to shoot a movie. Who knew, later one night, something wasn’t proper. That was during the on-location shoot of a disco scene. Even during the journey to the disco location, I already sensed that something wasn’t quite right. I did say I’m a very sensitive person. I felt that some of the crew were acting strangely. (gugu guai guai) At that time, a female assistant (tn: Tsui Jie - she has mentioned that incident in her weibo when both their lives were threatened.) accompanied me. There’s just us two from HK, the rest were from mainland. When we reached the site, something really fishy was going on. Wah, bat dak liu! Hanging all over the place, fluttering in the winds were red helium balloons and a huge banner, “Welcome Ma Chun Wai to tonight’s performance!” My poster was plastered outside and the ticket cost was 129 yuan.
A: Did you think, yee? just filming a scene had to be this real?
S: But that scene wasn’t about the real me, wasn’t about Ma Chun Wai; but about my character in the movie. When I saw it, I knew instantly that they wanted to extort me. But if I were to leave immediately without getting to the bottom of it, then it would be to my disadvantage. So I got inside for makeup and was getting ready to act the scene, and to speak with the director. The producer came and introduced the DJ to me, ha what? Why do I need to know him? The DJ asked me how to introduce me for my entrance onto the stage. I said: Ha? Why do I need an introduction to get on stage? I’m here to make a movie. Did you make a mistake? He said no. And then the producer pulled up someone supposedly the assistant producer, a big, tall, hefty man. Of course, I knew I was being extorted. But I’ve a stubborn personality. So you think you would extort me, well then I will fight back. So I sat down and said, “I won’t sing. I’m here to make a movie. You’ve made a mistake!” At first I was polite. I said how can you guys be so ridiculous. Then the producer said, “Please help, just go up there and sing 3 songs.”
Wah! 3 songs! I said, “As artistes, our work by nature has to be accounted for. Our work is tied in with a contract and a fixed price. Also we have management. I can’t do this, sorry!” Seeing my inflexibility, he got another big sized assistant producer. He came, rolled up his sleeves, like readying for a fight. He asked, “Are you going to sing or not?” I lifted up my head. I kept my seat. I refused to sing. No! So what now? Then the director and the crew came over and asked what’s going on? At the same time, I asked my assistant to call up the movie lo ban (boss) to come and resolve this predicament. When he was aggressive, the situation was really dangerous for me. Because I didn’t know if he had co-horts around. After that incident, found out that there were around 10 to 20 of his people in the province. After reporting the incident to the police, some co-workers introduced their local friends to me. I’ve never made a movie with a daily escort of two policemen. But I didn’t care. I’m making a movie you can’t extort me. Subsequently, they changed that producer. And finally managed to finish the movie. Actually in between there were some other problems but they didn’t affect me. It had nothing to do with me.
Now that I think back, wah, I was quite brave then. But that’s just my personality. Yes is yes, no is no. Don’t you try to extort me. If you exhort, I will not take it lying down. I asked him, “So, you want to beat me up? Go ahead! Beat me to death, but I still won’t sing. So that’s how it went. Actually, working in mainland does not pose this kind of problems, this was unusual. All my work there went smoothly with no problems and the people I worked with were all very nice. Except for this one time. The way I see it, is that a big tree has many branches, and occasionally will meet some bad apples.
A: I guess in all your years working, this must be you first time or the only time encountering such an incident. I heard from friends incidents like this not only happened in China but also in Malaysia.
S: I’ve never encountered the same in Malaysia. That was my first and only time.
A: Could it be that you are someone who will yield to soft pleading but not to hard force. Say at that time, it was not this humongous big guy but a petite delicate person like Angel in our Macao filmology. (Anna and Steven had previously collaborated in a short filmology on advertising Macao) There she was pleading with you. Like: Please, all the tickets are already sold out. Would you…?
S: In my position, I couldn’t help because this concerns the nature of my work. It would be against the rules. I had a contract with a management company. My company had a cut in my fees. I couldn’t forfeit your fees. If I privately agreed to perform because of your pitiful display, I would have done something wrong, which is to have betrayed my company. Or worse maybe my company might misunderstand and thought that I had collected your fees. I couldn’t do it. If I were freelance, like you say, and had no company backing, if a big, hefty guy approached me, I would definitely not sing. But if like that ‘pitiful’ girl, maybe I might help you out by singing one song, fine. The situation is resolved. So maybe without management contract I might do it but probably wouldn’t. Because this concerns principles. (ethics)
A: Actually that situation then was quite dangerous. That big guy and his co-horts. And you, all by yourself alone. Also those people were in covert while you’re in overt.
S. Which is why later….sometimes life is like that. Troubles find you even though you didn’t provoke them.

Excerpt from a 2006 news report
S: [..] But, freelancing can also create dire predicaments.
Once, while filming in Meizhou, one night we went to a local disco for an location filming for a scene. When we got there, suddenly there were people holding up banners; somehow it had become my concert. Even selling the admission ticket for 120+ yuan each. Turned out the film producer did not pay rental to the disco management; he tricked the owner into thinking that I would perform on stage to cover the rent; thus, I became the sacrificial lamb. I'm stubborn; I absolutely refused; the people wanted to beat me up. I said, "Go ahead, beat me to death here!"
How did it end? I called up Li Ru En’s husband (Ceng Zhi Ming) for help. His factory was in Meizhou. He sent in his factory foreman and called in the public security (police). So for the rest of the filming in Meizhou, I had a police escort. There’re things that artistes cannot easily take of. I didn’t want to deal with the mountain folks, and it just happened at that time, TVB sought me out. I thought the time was right to sign on.

Steven being praised for his young looks
王晓斋 7/14/2012 Flew into Beijing at 11 pm, and immediately rushed to meet up with good friend, 澳龟的影视 producer @陶陶而乐 、and TVB big shot @馬浚偉 Steven Ma. Steven reveals that he often made fish maw ( 花胶) and Chinese caterpillar fungus (冬虫夏草) soups. No wonder despite arduous work, still can maintain his youthful looks. (细皮嫩肉)
Steven is sure rapidly expanding his social circle, and this one possesses an oily mouth. Steven please beware of men who calls you a tvb big shot, and openly and publicly praise your youthful looks on weibo. Maybe it is just me but this compliment sounds so gay coming from a grown man.
This man 王晓斋 's weibo introduction reminds me another celebrity TV doctor, Dr. Phil. Anyway, this Dr. Wang sure has lots of big and impressive titles, occupations, and positions; even a self-professed science fiction writer, a TV medical and health guest speaker.But how much is true vs bs?

random weibo posts May 2010
AF# 367 Posted 12 May 2010 - 10:35 AM
Steven is truly enjoying his weibo interactions with his fans. His weibo is so distinctly imprinted with his personality, thoughts, humor and style of writing. Going through his weibo thread on baidu, I translated some of his weibo comments.
He weibo he is having dinner. Inquisitive fans want to know what he is having.
later weibo1: “I had a big bowl of congee, 1 egg, 1 plate of chives and 1 banana!”
Fans complain his dinner was too light. He weibo back he needs to reduce oil, (戒油) but he inadvertently posted the wrong word for ‘reduce’(介vs戒), and of course sharp-eyed fans were quick to pounce on his typo and gleefully expose it. (Don’t understand this nitpicking mentality of his fans and their glee in exposing Steven’s typos. Even the best of us made occasionally typos. In fact, his fans posts are often filled with typos, not to mention misuse of words and malapropism. (白字 & 錯別字) But I digress!)
weibo2: Mistake again! speechless!.. reduce oil! (戒油!) 介!
花籽油 (canola oil) 
Weibo3: Don’t say used to my typos. The word is too brutal.
Then Steven purposely wrote his message in malapropism*. Lol!
拍圓"柒日程",鵝以雞畫去尚海看細博!
At first his fans were puzzled by his message and wondered if his brain was fried by his fans’ ‘brutal’ words. Belatedly some, understanding Steven’s teasing of them, deciphered his tweet to mean: As soon as 7 Days wraps up, I plan to go to Shanghai to attend the World Expo! Haha! Naughty Steven! lol!
*note:“A malapropism is the substitution of a word for a word with a similar sound, in which the resulting phrase makes no sense but often creates a comic effect.”
Of course, the fans all clamored for a fans gathering with him.
But he weibo: My Expo visit will be a personal one! Fans gathering is a bit tough!
------------------------------------
Weibo few days later:
Steven strings most (not all) his series titles in a paragraph.
Loosely translated to read:
Don’t worry, I'll find a Cupid Stupid person (恋愛星求人) with Land of Wealth (滙通天下) to be my Safe Guard (鉄血保镖) ; this person must be friend with my Watch Dog Buddy (老友狗狗).

His thoughts aroused when watching the broadcast of Shanghai Expo opening ceremony.
I spent two years of self-studying “The last hundred years of China history, for that I acquired just one word: “Pain”. Living in Hong Kong? – Great happiness. But does not mean not to understand one’s own origin. I came from Shantou, Guangdong.
(note: I recall a 2006 where Steven said he enrolled for 2 years in an online Chinese history course)

weibo: 5/10/ 21:51
Fans brought up their displeasure over Cupid Stupid ending.
sm weibo1: I know you were all very angry at Cupid Stupid ending.
weibo2: If Yat Bo approaches Jing Gou then what do you want Jing Gou to do? She already said she doesn't know who to choose. A triangle love -- eventually one has to back out. When have the time go read the book "han jing de ai".(含敬的愛) Tell me what you think of it.
weibo3: Seeing your most beloved having a happy good life is also a kind of happiness. At least you've found your most beloved person, and that you know she is living a good life.
weibo4: Actually love and possession do not always go hand in hand. If mutual love, but ultimately not yours to keep, have to let go. If possessed but doesn't love you in return, also have to let go.
weibo5: OK, I'll have Yat Bo pursue Jing Gou again, ok?

Latest weibo: Steven heartsick over this incident 7 school kids & 1 teacher slayed in China school killing rampage.
The 'water' in Steven weibo is too strong and deep for me to surf, luckily most if not all his weibo are reposted here on Steven baidu weibo thread . But because I'm not following their posts, I can only guess at what they were talking about from Steven's responses.

Leba: I enjoy reading his weibo interactions too. I also read the collated one at the tieba.baidu thread. I just like the way he counts his fans to sleep.... 123zzzzzzzzgoodnite. So sweet and cute!
Tamaya: 123 zzzzzzzz..goodnite ....very cute and I also like how he had Grand Piggy Ma with its v to verify his message. haha.

Steven is truly enjoying his weibo interactions with his fans. His weibo is so distinctly imprinted with his personality, thoughts, humor and style of writing. Going through his weibo thread on baidu, I translated some of his weibo comments.
He weibo he is having dinner. Inquisitive fans want to know what he is having.
later weibo1: “I had a big bowl of congee, 1 egg, 1 plate of chives and 1 banana!”
Fans complain his dinner was too light. He weibo back he needs to reduce oil, (戒油) but he inadvertently posted the wrong word for ‘reduce’(介vs戒), and of course sharp-eyed fans were quick to pounce on his typo and gleefully expose it. (Don’t understand this nitpicking mentality of his fans and their glee in exposing Steven’s typos. Even the best of us made occasionally typos. In fact, his fans posts are often filled with typos, not to mention misuse of words and malapropism. (白字 & 錯別字) But I digress!)
weibo2: Mistake again! speechless!.. reduce oil! (戒油!) 介!
花籽油 (canola oil) Weibo3: Don’t say used to my typos. The word is too brutal.
Then Steven purposely wrote his message in malapropism*. Lol!
拍圓"柒日程",鵝以雞畫去尚海看細博!
At first his fans were puzzled by his message and wondered if his brain was fried by his fans’ ‘brutal’ words. Belatedly some, understanding Steven’s teasing of them, deciphered his tweet to mean: As soon as 7 Days wraps up, I plan to go to Shanghai to attend the World Expo! Haha! Naughty Steven! lol!
*note:“A malapropism is the substitution of a word for a word with a similar sound, in which the resulting phrase makes no sense but often creates a comic effect.”
Of course, the fans all clamored for a fans gathering with him.
But he weibo: My Expo visit will be a personal one! Fans gathering is a bit tough!
------------------------------------
Weibo few days later:
Steven strings most (not all) his series titles in a paragraph.
Loosely translated to read:
Don’t worry, I'll find a Cupid Stupid person (恋愛星求人) with Land of Wealth (滙通天下) to be my Safe Guard (鉄血保镖) ; this person must be friend with my Watch Dog Buddy (老友狗狗). That person can either be Pu Songling or gold plaque matchmaker (of Better Halves, 金牌冰人) or Luo San (WTLB 洛神). Under the guidance of the moon's beams in October 5th (of Return of the Cuckoo 十月初五的月光) we advanced bravely On The Tracks Or Off (勇往直前) towards Expo. Although A Change of Destiny’s (天機算) prediction is not completely correct, it should not go so far as to have us Quarantined for 7 days (隔離七日)…But amazingly, under Healing Hands (妙手仁心) a group of Grand Piggy Ma’s friends (Steven is Grand Piggy Ma) all transformed into Ultra Protection (非常保鏢) bodyguards, and under a shower of PITNOL (帝女花) petal confetti, they incited each and every golden destiny (AJCL, 金石良缘) to dance; the whole city is in joyous revelry, as exciting as in the Domd chronicles.
