Steven in Beijing 7/13/2012

 7/13/2012 12:58 Hi, Beijing

Steven's flight departure out of Wuhan was delayed for a long time. It was daybreak when their plane finally touched down in Beijing.

Though Steven looks as if he just got out of bed and eyes looking tired, I really like his unvarnished good looks -  straight, high nose; sensuous, soft red lips; shadowy stubbles; a firm square chin, and a nice, manly face shape above a stark, black t-shirt.  And that hint of a smile.










Steven looking young and casual in the above photo. Drinking wine already so early in the day?

Steven in Beijing with his upcoming director (tn: probably Director Wong Ka Fai, again) and the series investor, and scriptwriter. The little girl is the young actress in Steven's own scripted series, 'Single Parent 10 years' ＜单亲十年＞ to start filming in Wuhan in September. credit as labeled

weibo 8/1 Steven as one of the 4 HK badminton ambassadors

7/31 21:20 This afternoon played a short, short demonstration of badminton techniques with HK Badminton Single Women team,  葉姵延, at Sang Yi Gym. Of course, for demonstration of standard badminton techniques, watch her; for recreational fun then watch me la!  Heehee!  "Hak Mui" (Tan Girl), add oil, Support you!

今午與港隊女單冠軍葉姵延在新伊館打了一場短短的球技示範表演賽，當然，標準球技表演是看她，鬧著玩就看我啦！嘻嘻！＂黑妹＂，加油，支持妳！

weibo 7/30 - physical disability

7/30 12:11  Yesterday helped a charity organization record the themesong for it activities. Energetic Eagle Drum Team is a band organized by a team of volunteer teachers.  The team members are all afflicted with different physical illness or disability, nonetheless, they all held a very positive attitude towards life.  Among them are young people and also the elderly in their 70s or 80s.  Their passion and expansiveness for life are that of a flying eagle;  truly worthwhile for me to learn!  Wishing them success for their upcoming activity, even more so, hope the government will pay more attention to the needy in society.

昨天為一義工團體錄製他們活動的主題曲。「鼓躍飛鷹隊」是一隊由義工導師帶領下組成的樂隊，隊員都是有各種身體病患或殘障但人生態度非常積極的朋友，當中 有年輕的，也有七八十歲的長輩，他們對生命有著飛鷹般的高昂熱情，實在值得我學習！在這希望他們的活動成功，更望政府多些關注社會上有需要人仕！

weibo 7/29

  7/29 12:48 Using these two idioms, "tiger forced to leap over the wall", and "dog cornered into a dead alley"  to describe Nip Dor Bo is not inappropriate.  To conduct one self, do not do things to the extreme, do not say things to the extreme. In everything, should leave a line, and this line, whether it's reserved for others or for oneself! Of course, if everybody can do this, perhaps the world will be more peaceful.

用这两句话「逼虎跳墙」、「赶狗入穷巷」来形容聂多宝至为不过。处世做人，事不能做尽、话不可說尽，凡事都应留一线。这一线，给别人也行，给自己也好！當然，若人人能做到，天下也许就太平多了。今晚【紫禁惊雷】第五集见！

TN: Pretty sure it is Steven's response to his decision to leave TVB.  Few weeks Tsuiyiyi weibo this: To my friend,

weibo 7/27 re-Loi Wong aka Ah Wong aka Siu Ba

@馬浚偉 16:51: Well, my good Ah Wong is female, so her adoration of me is not strange ya! At the time of the shoot, when she saw me from afar she dashed towards me and effusively kissed me on the lips ya

@材叔 7/27 16:32：In Sentinel there was this small actor, Loi Wong aka Ah Wong aka Siu Ba, who is especially nice to males like Dor Bo aka Yan Ji To (Ah Gong)  but is cold towards females, no actor's ethic at all.

@馬浚偉: Ah wong couldn't resist kissing me again.


啊黄忍不住又给我親親
咁我的乖乖啊黃係女，對我特別熱愛唔出奇啊！拍嗰日佢老遠見到我就埋唻狂咀啊！
紫禁驚雷 有一小演員 來旺 即亞黃 即小巴 對男仔特別好 以為多寶即人字拖 但對女仔冷感 冇演員道德！

weibo 7/26 see you tonight epi 2

7/26 15:09  Thank you, Steven Ma Baidu's little piggy for this cute drawing of Nip Dor Bo.  Praiseworthy!  After 1st episode introduction, the 'sin/crime' is now officially launched onto screen! I welcome all net friends' opinions or reviews. Your comments, my cohorts will read each and every one of them!  Thank you!  See you all at 8:30 tonight @ Sentinel episode 2!

多谢百度马吧的小猪画了这超可愛的聂多宝，赞啊！经过第一集的引子，〝罪〞幕正式展开！欢迎各方童鞋留下意见或观后感，大家的评论，我和各方战友定會一一观看！谢谢！今晚８３０【紫禁惊雷】第二集见！

weibo 7/26

7/26 13:14 The unpredictability of accidents pales in comparison with the ruthlessness of natural catastrophes; the ruthlessness of natural catastrophes  pales in comparison with the despicableness of man-made calamities.  Life is precious, even if hanging on a thread of hope?  Can lose even one ya! Can only sigh: "If not awakened now, when?"

意外难料比不上天灾无情；天灾无情比不上人祸可耻。生命宝贵，那怕只剩半丝希望？一个都不能少啊！只叹：「今不醒悟、还待何时？」！

weibo 7/24

 7/24 14:25 Sang themesong, Changing Sky, live on stage, and, still sang one word wrong... tomorrow 830, will air!  Remember to watch!  Thank you!  現場唱主題曲＂變天＂，結果還是唱錯一個字......明晚830，開播了！記得收看啊！謝謝！

weibo 7/23 forgive if can

 
7/23 22:38 Stage is like life, truly!  Gentleman exacting revenge, a decade is not too late.*  Fine, so finally becomes a gentleman, so what? Ten years' gone in a flash, the deep rooted revenge has been exacted, but on reflection what has been lost is more!  Just like in Sentinel, Teacher Lau Kong constantly urges Dor Bo: "Learn to let go ba!"  If Dor Bo has understood the meaning within the words, the ending might not have been so tragic.  Life is like a stage, vengeance begets never ending vengeance, how many people can do that, (tn: to forgive) how many people can let go?

*Chinese saying：冤冤相报何时了，得饶人处且饶人。vengeance begets never ending vengeance,  where it is possible to let people off, one should spare them

戏如人生，的确！君子报仇、十年未晚。好，有一天终当君子了，那又如何？瞬间十年，大仇得报，但回首细想，失去的可能更多！就如「紫禁」剧中刘江老师时刻对多宝說：「学会放下吧！」，若多宝真能领悟當中至理，结果也许就不会如此悲惨了。人生如戏，一句冤冤相报何时了，又有几人能做到、几人能放下？

weibo 7/23 thank you

  7/23 21:45 Today (I'm) very happy, besides Hong Kong little piggies, there were also many Mainland little piggies who made the special trip to come here.  They attended both the Sentinel and the new book talk one after another.  Though traveled far and so rush, they were still smiling happily.  I'm very touched, thank you to you all!  P.S. Two little piggies even gave this set of MacDonald's Dingdong items that is only available in Mainland, and a framed beautiful handmade piece embroidery.  Your thoughtfulness and affection, I have received.  Thank you to you all!


今天很開心，除了香港的小豬，還有很多專程從內地來的小豬們，他們一連出席了紫禁和新書研討會兩個活動，又趕路程又遠，他們還是笑得很開心，我感動了，謝 謝你們！p.s.其中兩位小豬更送我這套只有在內地＂老麥＂才有的叮噹系列和一幅很美的自製人手繡畫，這些心思心意我收到了，謝謝你們啊！

weibo 7/23

@林鳳翎：At the Book Fair, Healthy eating new attitude talk in progress. Nip Dor Bo shares the experience of using starch to wash the face.  (tn: tip from Kara Hui.) 

Steven: Heehee！

weibo 7/22 happy so long viewers enjoy series

7/ 22  22:28 Still the same words, so long you all enjoy Sentinel, that's all that matters!  Nevertheless, still want to thank the reporter for his appreciation! Thank you! 还是哪句話,大家喜欢"紫禁驚雷"就夠了!不過也要謝谢雜誌筆者的讚賞!多謝!


[忽然一周vol.834]《紫禁驚雷》也文也武　馬浚偉為視帝鋪路
Suddenly 1st week vol.834: Sentinel - skilled in literary and martial arts - paving the road to TV king - Steven Ma   

The only worthwhile sentence in the article to be translated is this: Undoubtedly, Steven's good looks in ancient drama series can rival that of Adam Cheng of the past, hence even Adam has commented that Steven has taken over his ancient drama series specialty thus his rice bowl . "不過無可否認，馬浚偉做古裝劇真係可以媲美當年嘅鄭少秋 o架，所以連鄭少秋都話馬仔搶咗佢做古裝嘅專利同飯碗。"

Rehashing old news about tvb paving the road to tv king for Steven letting him hosts 2 programs and Ms. Lok inviting him to her dinner and airing this series in prime timeslot etc, so not going to waste my time translating this drivel.  Just look at the pretty pictures.  Guess like his fans, Steven is also numb about all these talks about tv king.  Steven fans are fed up at seeing these two  words 视帝(tv king) popping up in connection to Steven's name.  I bet Steven must feel the same too plus the feeling of helplessness. 

Honestly I myself have no anticipation of Steven winning the best actor award since he most probably will not renew his contract next July.

weibo 7/22 3 more days to Sentinel

 7/22 19:43 3 more days, you all will know step by step when "Nip Dor Bo" changes from a good person to become more and more ruthless, and more and more crazy!  ７２５８３０ 紫～禁～惊～雷 (Purple~Forbidden~Frightening~Thunder - the series Chinese title)

还有三天，大家就会一步一步地知道，〝聂多宝〞为何会由一个好人，愈变愈狠，愈变愈狂！７２５８３０紫～禁～惊～雷

weibo 7/22 fabricated news report.

7/22/2011  17:40 Haha! A certain magazine weekly reports that I grabbed to sit on the throne, hence forcing Kenneth to sit on the edge...haiz, there's video! (tn: to disprove) I can only dismiss it with a wry smile! Anyway, guess it's another kind of promotion ba! Thank you!    哈哈!看到某周刊話我搶住坐龍椅逼馬明靠边坐....唉,有片㗎!真係得啖笑!不過,也是一種宣傳吧!多謝! 

Uncle Choi 22:39: Was that true? I believe big liar Weekly deceives itself more lo!

馬浚偉 22:56 Sometimes lying to oneself can make one happier is not too bad ga, foster father!  

In actuality when Steven was told to sit on the throne by Power, Steven immediately invited Kenneth to share the seat with him. Of course, being in the entertainment for as long as he has been, Steven knew instantly that the  throne was a hot potato, that in no way could he sit on that throne without inviting Kenneth to sit with him. Even then following the proper protocol, and politically correct in his conduct, he still got slammed on the print by unscrupulous tabloid news.  I can really feel the helplessness in Steven and also in his fellow colleagues over this kind of unscrupulous and fabricated news report by picture.

Judge for yourself. youtube

Below is the offending picture that prompted the said reporter's imaginative news reporting by picture. And no surprise the article was reported by :  东方新地 oriental daily

weibo 7/21 pineapple look-a-like

7/21 19:44  Attended TVB commercial awards ceremony as presenter to leading actress. Colleague snapped me looking like a pineapple in this shot! Haha!

7/21 14:48   Guess I appeared at the book fair the whole time.  

weibo 7/20 Sentinel poster

Wah! What an awesome poster ya! How come I don't have it? 嘩！海報好棒啊！怎麼我沒有呢？

credit poster to: tvbchannel weibo

The poster is fantastic - the color scheme is very unique. None of the past cliche. Though pink and purple are considered feminine, on the poster it is anything but. In fact, to me it gives off quite an ominous energy; a vitality radiating from these two bigger than life itself men atop the palace; their eyes locked, their weapons crossed. Two very formidable, even  sinister looking males contesting their strength and determination - nobody in their mind would want to cross them. Though superior mortals, their lives like those below are similarly controlled by destiny in the form of lightning bolts blitzing from above on them, a predestined intricate web to entangle them. Even the son of heaven, the Emperor does not escape their gods' control. What are mortals but puppets of the gods above. However, the two flying eagles on each top corner seem out of place in the poster.

TN: Yeah, what's with the eagles? Symbol of something? Reminds me of what Tsuiyiyi weibo wrote about Steven's singing evoking the lure of eagles flying over the land
