Maggie Cheung as guest in BOW2


In Book of Words 2011, Steven demonstrates the meaning of a chengyu 耳鬢廝磨 (Chinese idiom - rubbing ear to sideburn) that Maggie fails to act out the chenguy on her partner, Dexter Young. The blush on Maggie's faced is ps by a fan. lol! So cute! Steven and Maggie are very close friends, hence Steven's familiarity toward her.

Book of Words ep 23

Can't Understand why I couldn't upload episode 24.

4/27 Book of Words -- Artistes Embarrassed Themselves

[110427] (澳门日报)《正識第一》藝員出醜
Macao Daily News by 洪老大

/dAIg1r a

The tv show, Book of Words, hosted by Steven Ma would invite two artistes to participate in each episode.  The questions focus mainly on China's history, geography, cultures, language and the like; the content is extensive.  The show would also invite a Chinese Language professor to elucidate some allusions,  and explain the origin and meaning of words as well as idioms;  there's also the Chinese English proverbs parallel. BOW is not only educational but also entertaining, too.   However, some artistes' grasp of Chinese language is really poor;  they could not even answer simple questions or write the words, even when Steven has given ample tips, they still remained nonplussed or else came up with totally far out answers; really don't know whether to laugh or cry.  (tn: funny at the same time embarrassing)  Book of words, this kind of knowledge-based tv program often inadvertently made the participants embarrassed themselves.  (TN: by showing up their lack of knowledge)

TN: Often times, if you don't use it (be it knowledge or skill) you'll lose it over time. Just like I know I won't do well in "Am I smarter than the 5th grader?" game show. So I'll give the participants a break.

Book of Words 11/12

Power Chan and Mimi Lo
I love this couple, so loving. Mimi is an extrovert while Power is an introvert.
Their personalities are so different.





Steven: I've known Mimi for a long time
Mimi: We were from the same music company (warner music)
Steven: What year did you release your album?
Mimi: 95 (Steven's in 93)
Steven: Was it during the time of "tiu jing jie"?
Mimi: Yes, and I also remember yours was "Lucky to have met you"
Steven: Bye bye!

Everybody: hahaha!
Steven to Power: You're a student of performing arts; you're Mimi's senior brother
Mimi: Yes
Steven: Power, we've known each other for a long time now.

Power: plus we were high school schoolmates. (C.M.A.Pre-vocational School)

Steven: You're my senior,

Power: right, at vocational school. My relationship to you is the same as to mine with my wife. She studied performing arts but I didn't know. And you were from the same vocational school but I didn't either. It's only when we entered the industry and gotten to know each other, then I found out you're from the same school and Mimi from the same performing arts college.

Steven: I remember now that I was form 1 (grade 7) and you're form 5 (grade 11)
Power: yes

Steven: What you learned at the performing arts, and the series you filmed in tvb, are there any difference?

Power: no difference, in any arts form, what we pursue is verisimilitude, the genuine feeling, if we don't possess this feeling of genuineness, then we need to learn or find ways of how to get this kind of feeling.

Steven: Would you two analyze together how best to act a role or sing a song?

Mimi: Yes, we spent a lot of time doing just that. But it is not boring.

Steven: definite not boring. You two are a very enviable couple.

Mimi: You can be that way  too.

Steven: Of course, I can. Why not?

Hahaha!

Steven Ma isolated self to do homework for tv show

2011/03/16 on.cc

Book of Words II, hosted by Steven Ma,opened with healthy rating, elating both front stage and backstage crew.  Steven candidly says that the show has a good concept.  To do the program well, besides recording the show the whole day on Saturday and Sunday, he secluded himself to do homework on Thursday and Friday.  He laughingly likens his nervousness to that of preparing for exams!  And when it premiered, Steven's hosting skill was highly acclaimed.  Some Mainland producers have already locked their sight onto him as a target to snatch.  But since his contract will not expire until next year, Steven expresses let fate decides.

weibo 3/15 Book's opening rating

 
3/15 12:35
Very happy, TVB Book of Words colleagues told me the good news.  Book's first episode garnered a rating of 22 points, up 4 points from last Monday, not bad at all!  But I want to emphatically stress this: Ma Zai was not exhausted, the people who were exhausted are the behind the scenes colleagues.  Truly, they really were exhausted! Very thankful to them! I hope everybody will continue to support the nightly Monday thru Friday 10:30 pm Book  of Words.  Thank you! Homeroom teacher Ma Sir.

很開心,Tvb「正識第一」的同事向我報喜,第一集收22點,比上星期升四點,很不錯呢!不過我要強調,做這節目,馬仔不辛苦,辛苦的是幕後那班同事,真的,他們很辛苦!感謝他們!請大家繼續支持逢星期一至五晚上十點半的「正識第一」!謝謝!班主任馬sir

Book of words - Maggie Cheung, Dexter Young

@张可颐maggie:Tonight Dexter and I participated Ma Zai's Book of Words (sic「最緊要正字」).  fun at the time learn much too.  Chuen Ka Fook and Len Bak Hak reunited...hilarious ya!

Maggie later revised Book of Words to its correct title. 

今晚和天經上了馬仔主持的「最緊要正字」,好玩又學到知識!全家福和連百合又相遇...搞笑呀




haha!  No surprised that Steven would invite Dexter to his show. He and Dexter have become close since their collaboration on the stage show, Chinese Hamlet , few years back.  Very happy to see Maggie as one of the guests.

Personally, I prefer Steven inviting guests who are at least Chinese educated, as the questions are extremely difficult, no point inviting guests who do not have an educational foundation in the Chinese language.

Event:  Book of words - 正識 Brain Nourishing Camp 《正識第一》之「正識補腦大本營」 E/E |*6R 

Artistes: Steven Ma, Tracy Ip,  Wu Fung,  Teddy Robin Kwan, Hoffman Cheng,  Professor 鄧昭祺,  show producer 霍澤基
Time:  14:00 YIYuqtn SJ
Place: tvb studio studio 3 O@rZ ^Aa 




Steven Ma hosting a tv show was supported by a group of friends.  He reveals that he was hospitalized for two days because of a leg infection, which was earlier might be caused by flesh eating bacteria, but fortunately it was an ordinary wound infection.

Also, Steven personally made some homemade soup and brought it to share with all cast and staff.  Steven exerted that his soup had no msg and very nutritious.  And that lately he has taken too much western medicine (antibiotics) so the soup was just perfect for nourishing his body.

When asked why he consumed so much western medicine, he revealed that he hurt his right foot earlier when playing badminton, and it had become infected.  He said while playing badminton, his right sole became blistered. That maybe when he took a shower inside the locker room, his blistered foot was infected by the dirty shower floor, and became swollen and painful later on at night.   His doctor feared  infection by flesh eating bacteria and had him hospitalized for two days of observation.  Fortunately, the infection was of the common kind and did affect his walk.

But during his stay in the hospital, the doctor discovered he may have apnea.  Steven said: "I always have nose allergy and some trachea problems.  When the doctor told me I may have apnea, I finally understood why I sometimes felt sleepy in the morning, it's because I didn't sleep well at night.  So in two days' time I will check into the hospital for examination. "
