Damnian’s appreciation for Michelle Yim, Idy Chan, and Mary Hon

After all these years who is the most praiseworthy actor? “In Taiwan, there’s Lichun Lee, he’s a national treasure, Seung Fung – a Golden Bell best actor, he’s my mentor. In Hong Kong, there’s Michelle, she’s my good partner, there’s also Idy, Mary, and Bao Fong. (Is Michelle your best partner?) Every of them is my best partner. It’s just like relationship, you’re in a relationship with someone, you must wholeheartedly put in the effort. Let bygones be bygones. You can’t reminiscence the past when you’re in the relationship a new person, it’s unfair. Therefore whether old or new, must put in your best effort every time.”

The drama has been well-received by viewers in Mainland since it’s aired and ranked among the top favorite dramas by netizens. They also wish to have Damian Lau’s and Idy Chan’s characters ended together. However producer Waikin Chong explained “The drama already filmed with satisfactory ending, no need to film another finale.” Many TV stations already purchased syndication rights for the drama.

Producer Chong Waikin “Yee Yin realized that she wanted to be with Cheuk Man [Arthur], and set it clear with her old lover Chai Yat Fai (Ben Wong), but because of his 2nd son Kai Yip [Jimmy] (Vincent Wong) beat up him very badly, that caused deeper misunderstanding between Yee Yin and Cheuk Man.”

Ben Wong has been known for playing villains and even got the Best Supporting Actor award last year. However, in the new drama “Silver…” 《名媛望族》 setting in the early era of Republic of China, he’s portraying a “good guy” who will have a love line with Idy Chan. “Can’t believe I get to work with Idy, on the very first shooting, the scene required to have some physical contact, I thought ‘Oh no, is it OK for me to touch her?’ ” Ben’s nervous yet excited to work with Idy. He praised that Idy played the character well and quite suitable for her.

“My character is a romantic faithful man, I’m content as long as she’s happy, so loving her, I’ll not ruin her reputation knowing that she’s already married.”

While filming in Shanghai, Ben noted Idy’s little habit “Every time when we had our meals, she would take out a bottle of alcohol, and she would start to clean everything with it. It’s probably because she goes to mainland often for charity, and those remote areas lack of clean water, it’s the way for disinfection.”

復出拍劇的陳玉蓮(蓮妹),與劉松仁(松哥)等《名媛望族》演員,早上現身機場出發去上海拍攝外景,蓮妹直言很久沒乘坐飛機,有點不習慣,因以往作慈善探訪都是從深圳駕駛到國內。

The cast and crew of “Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles” were seen early at HKG Airport departing to Shanghai for filming on location in the next 3 weeks. It’s been a long while for Idy Chan’s traveling by air, she felt a bit uneasy on flying. For all those times going to mainland China for charity work, she’d drive from Shenzhen instead.
