Raymond does not object to “sister-brother” relationships
Raymond Lam: Men are lucky

In Raymond’s new series La Femme Desperado, he plays a progressive yet frivolous youth, and also develops with Melissa Ng a ‘sister-brother’ relationship. He admits that at first he was afraid that the audience’s thoughts would be rather conservative and not accept it, but luckily when it came out people were satisfied with it, allowing Raymond to finally remove that heavy stone from his heart. He wouldn’t object to a relationship with an older female, but she shouldn’t be any older than him than three years.

Raymond Lam, who has been away from Hong Kong for a period of time, recently has been returning to Hong Kong to promote his new series. Frequently flying between Hong Kong and China, Raymond laughs and says that he has already gotten used to the life of taking flights so often, but even if it is a little tiring, it doesn’t matter because he is doing it for the series. Raymond, who plays a progressive yet frivolous youth in the series, expressed that in real life, he’s a little bit different, so to properly portray this character, he paid his “frivolous friends” a visit and tried to understand them more. He said, “Normally I’m not like that, but beside me I have a lot of friends who have that kind of personality, so I specially went to their houses to take a look around, that way I can portray the character more realistically!”

As to his first time working with Melissa Ng, he expressed that there were some intimidate scenes between them, and he has even worried before about the audience not accepting this “sister-brother” relationship. But who would’ve guessed that the response to this series was so good! Raymond could finally remove that heavy stone from his heart.

Has only dated once
As to whether or not Raymond can accept “sister-brother” relationships in real life, Raymond replied with a laugh, “I’ve never really objected to it. There’s a Chinese tradition that says that if a woman is older than a man, then the man will receive good fortune. But I don’t think the difference should be too great, three years should be just right, otherwise it will be very tough for the woman.” If he hadn’t said it, no one would’ve known that the handsome Raymond Lam has only had one experience with dating. He also expressed that he has always been very serious towards love, and also, towards choosing girlfriends he is rather picky. But he if meets someone who he likes, he’ll grow red in the face and not dare to take a step closer to her – which is what holds him back from finding a girlfriend.

Ming Pao

Raymond Lam, Ron Ng, Kevin Cheng and Sonija Kwok returned from Thailand to Hong Kong the night before, with many fans at the airport to receive them. As the artists appeared, the fans found their target and moved forward towards their idol. The fans diligently fought to be seen. As Sonija Kwok was a target, numerous reporters went straight to her to take photos, while Raymond Lam had many fans surrounding him, not embarrassing at all. As to Ron Ng, he also had many fans there to see him, leaving Kevin Cheng with no fans, and only his assistant, but afterwards there was one fan that was passing-by. Not sure if this was what put Kevin in a bad mood, but when the reporters went forward to take pictures, his face immediately darkened and he even told them stop.

Raymond Lam was the most popular there and had many fans surrounding him, hindering him for ten or so minutes before he was able to get into the car. Raymond expressed that this time he went to Thailand was to appear at TVB’s promotion functions; the fans there were very enthusiastic and very familiar with them, too. There were three Hong Kong reporters in Thailand, following them day and night whether they were working or just going out to eat. La Femme Desperado’s weekly ratings reached thirty-one points. To this, Raymond said that the series was rather refreshing, and he was happy to have participated in this production.

色女看演技，喜欢小齐的小动作 [25/4/2006]

【原创】色女看演技，喜欢小齐的小动作

描述：酒店
图片：

上周看了女人的前5集，说实话并没有太大的感觉，感觉阿峰还是本色演出，一个阳光大男孩的形象，但昨天的第六集让色女颇多惊喜，阿峰在很多细节上加上了很多眉宇、眼神、嘴角的小动作，让人感觉非常有味道

NO1验发
如此精细的验发色女从未见识过，相信小齐也闻所未闻，所以阿峰眼波流动，忐忑不安，嘴角微微下拉，略显委屈，尽显一个正常人被放在显微镜下观察的心态。

NO2试衫
穿好第一件衣服出来，高ling的手在小齐手臂上轻轻摩擦过，此时小齐借说话之机轻舒一口气，明显感觉出内心的悸动，让色女的心也忘跳一拍，第二件衣服出来，高ling帮忙解开扣子，小齐眼眸抬起又放下，口形微张，尴尬的表情很是有味，至于高ling近身解皮带，小齐从僵硬胸膛，屏住呼吸，迅速闪开到最后的双手不知如何放，一会儿叉腰一会儿放进裤袋，都让色女忍俊不住。

NO3酒店
酒店这里色女最看好的是小齐看到高ling躺倒床上，目光直视，喉结滚动，暗吞口水的细节，这绝对是一个正常的男人看见美女醉卧面前最正常的反应，看过很多宛如色狼出山或柳下惠再生的处理，阿峰在这里的处理见色又不显色，很是舒服。另外坐到床边后高ling触到背部时如触电般睁大双眼，以及后来的眼睛眨了又眨，眉头微锁，也是通过系列的小动作到位的反映了人物的内心。

看来阿峰通过女人这出戏演技又进一层阿，希望后面的演出更精彩

Kevin Cheng, along with Raymond Lam, Ron Ng and Sonija Kwok, these three kings and the one queen, arrived at Thailand the day before to promote TVBI. As many Asians in Thailand watch TVB’s series, they were very familiar with the artists, and five hundred fans were at the fans meeting, even playing games with the artists and giving presents. What really challenged them four was that they had to sing Thai songs and let the fans guess which songs they were, but their Thai practically left everyone laughing, and the fans fought to teach them Thai. Sonija Kwok expressed that before her impression of Thailand was that they had good spas, but the fans enthusiasm has also left a deep impression!

Wenwei Pao

TVB’s artists Kevin Cheng, Raymond Lam, Ron Ng and Sonija Kwok left last Friday to go to Bangkok, Thailand, to promote TVB. As the Asians in Thailand love TVB series the most, there were many fans in Thailand to welcome them.

The day before, the four of them had a fans gathering with five hundred fans. They played games and gave presents, but the event that had the audience cheering for the most was the Super Guessing Song game. The artists had to listen to Thai songs, repeat it and let the fans guess. Their singing cracked the whole audience up. A lot of fans were fighting to teach them Thai, it was incredibly funny! After two hours of meeting up, fans still didn’t want to leave, in the end everyone stood together to take a photo as a souvenir, and left very happily. The artists were surprised at the enthusiasm displayed by the fans, and Sonija said, “This is my first time coming to Thailand for promotion, and the fact that they’re so enthusiastic had made me really happy! Thailand has left me a very good impression.” Ron, who had once come to Thailand before to shoot an advertisement, said, “The level of enthusiasm of the fans here isn’t any less than those in Hong Kong. People’s support naturally makes me happy, and if I get time, I’d definitely want to go and sunbake a bit.”

Raymond frankly said that the female fans were very enthusiastic, “but at the same time, they’re very polite and very orderly.” And Kevin, who has been to Thailand before filming a series, complimented that Thailand was a great place and hoped that he could come again next time for more promotional functions.

Takung Pao
TVB’s leading siu sang (promoted, younger generation actors) and fa dan (promoted, younger generation actresses), Raymond Lam, Ron Ng, Kevin Cheng and Sonija Kwok flew to Bangkok, Thailand last week for TVBI promotions. As the Asians in Thailand enjoy watching TVB series, not only were the artists recognised, but many fans were also there to welcome them. And as to the fans gathering the day before, the artists were able to dump the stress that came along with their work, and play with the fans.

That day, there were a total of five hundred fans at the gathering. The four artists appeared onstage together and played games with the fans and gave presents. Playing a Super Guessing Song game brought the most cheers from the fans. The artists had to, while listening to Thai songs, sing along and let the fans guess which song it was, practically leaving everyone laughing. Many fans were fighting to teach them Thai, it was really funny! After meeting up for close to two hours, the fans still didn’t want to leave. The artists really knew what to do and they let everyone take photos as a souvenir and they left happily.

As to the enthusiasm displayed by the fans in Thailand, the four of them admitted that they hadn’t expected it. Laughing, Sonija said, “This is my first time coming to Thailand for a promotional function, and I found that they are actually very enthusiastic – I’m very happy! Thailand has left me a very good impression, and what I’m most familiar with is the famous spa.” Ron, who has been to Thailand before shooting for an advertisement, said, “Having fans’ support naturally makes me happy, and I hope that if I have time I could go and sunbake a bit.” Raymond frankly said that the fans were very enthusiastic, though they were still very polite. And as to Kevin, who has been to Thailand before filming a series, complimented Thailand and said that he hoped to return to Thailand for more functions.
