Forensic Heroes 3 Blessing Ceremony

Wayne Lai, Kate Tsui, Ron Ng, Maggie Cheung and Nancy Wu were among the cast present for Forensic Heroes 3's blessing ceremony in Tseung Kwan O. There were rumours that Kate was not well prepared for the filming and would often NG. When asked about this, Kate calmly denied this. She explained that she is a very professional and serious artiste and gave an example that during the Lunar New Year period, she continued to work everyday despite being ill.

Kate shares that she does a lot of prep work before each filming session. She explained that on one particular day, they were shooting at 6am and it was very windy. As such her hair was messed up and she has to NG because of that. Kate shared that she did not have many NG scenes. Her lines were also not that difficult to remember as she plays a police officer. She revealed that Wayne Lai has more complicated script as he is a forensic chemist.

Wayne says that every artiste should be responsible and have their lines properly memorised. He adds that the collaboration with the cast of [FH3] is very enjoyable. When asked if Kate has many NG scenes, Wayne was supportive and said all of them have their own share of NG. It is important to get the lines correct, every single word must be uttered correctly.

Michael Miu and Maggie Cheung kisses in Sai Kung

Michael Miu and Maggie Cheung were filming a kissing scene for their new drama collaboration, The Pride of My Husband. The pair required more than one take for this kissing scene. Not because they were too shy, but Maggie requested for a re-take as she felt the first take was too shallow. Michael shared that he only started filming intimate scenes with his co-stars after his comeback. He is not worried that his wife, Jamie (soon to be seen alongside Gallen Lo and Ray Lui in Root of Evil) will be jealous.

The kissing scene was filmed on Sandy bay Beach in Sai Kung and attracted many passerbys. The crowd called out to Michael, but instead of calling him "Sam Ko" (Michael's nickname) they called him "Hau Ko", which is the name of his character in the recently concluded Emergency Unit E.U..

Before filming the scene, the very professional pair discussed with each other how to get the best result for the scene. After completing the scene, they would quickly watch the playback to see if the scene turns out alright.

The Pride of My Husband is a comedy series, and Michael Miu character is a playful man with a mean wife (Maggie). Michael says, "The role is quite similar to me in reality. Jamie (Chik) isn't mean, just in reality I'm a playful person, also I'm not afraid of my wife, it is respecting her. I am only playful during events, not to know girls. Also I have so many things to play with and have so many friends, I have a family and a wife, I will not do silly things to cause trouble for myself."
