Ming Pao
Michael Tse is criticised when he goes out
His character in LFD is bad

TVB’s new series, La Femme Desperado’s cast arrived at “Sun Sing” radio station for a promotion. Raymond Lam, Melissa Ng, Michael Tse and the producer, Poon Ka Tak, spoke about the ratings for last week, revealing that La Femme Desperado had an average rating of thirty-three points, peaking at thirty-seven points. They immediately uncorked a bottle of champagne to celebrate, and the three leading actors also happily came together for a big cuddle.

Raymond laughed that every time when there was a new series’ of his coming out he would not be in Hong Kong. One more week and he will be going to Mainland and filming a series with Alex Fong Chung Sun, thankfully this time it isn’t an ancient series.

Melissa expressed that earlier she was busy filming Tai Chi in Mainland, but the other day when she arrived back in Hong Kong someone actually called her by her character’s name in LFD! She hadn’t expected LFD to be so influential. Michel laughed that his character in this series was bad and he has also experienced being criticised when he went out, but he would say thank you for watching the show instead. The sad thing is that when he goes to the market nowadays, he doesn’t get a discount anymore.

The series is accepted; Michael Tse is being scorned

Yesterday, TVB series La Femme Desperado’s actors Michael Tse, Melissa Ng, Raymond Lam, Kenneth Ma and producer Poon Ka Tak accepted an interview with radio station “Sun Sing”. The producer announced the ratings for the series: last week it had an average rating of thirty-three points, this week the ratings were around thirty-five to thirty-six points, peaking at thirty-seven points. Upon hearing this, the actors reacted very happily.

In the series, Michael’s character left a very deep impression upon the audience. He laughed that lately it has become dangerous to go out. Not only does he no longer get discounts when he is shopping, every time he passes the park he’ll be told off by three different female voices. He said, “I thanked these three little girls for watching this series, but the series will become even more interesting as it goes, and there’ll be many pleasantly surprising additions, too, so I hope everyone will continue supporting!”

Melissa expressed that she had just returned from filming in Mainland and she didn’t even know the ratings were that good! She said, “Actually I’ve been working in Mainland for four months already, and I only knew that the ratings were this good when the Producer phoned me and told me about it. Maybe it’s because the contents of this series is very close to reality, and so the audience accepts it more. In reality there are also many sister-brother relationships.”

Raymond expressed that he has recently been in Mainland as the spokesperson for an online game. He said, “This game is called Dai Tong Fung Wan, maybe I was chosen because I filmed Twin of Brothers (Dai Tong Seung Lung Juen) earlier. I will also be filming a few more modern series soon.”
