The stars of the much-awaited follow-up to last year’s popular serial Rosy Business are happy to be backASTRO ON Demand (AOD) will be releasing the much-awaited follow-up to last year’s popular serial Rosy Business on Oct 18, simultaneously with Hongkong. No Regrets stars most of the original cast members such as Wayne Lai, Sheren Tang, Pierre Ngo, Elliot Ngok Wah, Susan Tse and Nancy Wu. Joining the line-up this year are Fala Chen and Raymond Wong. Lai (who won the best male actor award for his role at TVB’s 43rd Anniversary Awards show), Chen and Ngo were in Kuala Lumpur recently on a promotional tour for the series.
The 32-episode serial takes place during World War II, approximately 100 years after the events of Rosy Business. It will take on a darker route with Tang playing a villain – the daughter of a gang kingpin – and Lai as the head of a criminal investigation team. Chen stars as his bed-ridden younger sister while Ngo portrays his timid teammate.
When asked if there is anything romantic between his character and that of Tang’s, Lai declined to elaborate. "It all depends on the individual," he said. "Each person’s perception of romance is different as feelings are something that are difficult to define."
As for whether he is under pressure to get the best male actor award again for this serial, he said he has never given such matters much thought. "I only do the best I can and give my full cooperation when it comes to promotions so as to allow viewers a chance to interact with the actors through the activities."
He added that getting the best male actor award last year was purely accidental."My life’s full of accidents," he concluded.
Lai said the storyline of No Regrets is more contemporary and will allow the viewer to enter another era and experience a different feel.
Ngo agreed, adding that it is an elevated version of Rosy Business and will be even more dramatic.
Meanwhile Chen, who has been besieged by rumours linking her with Bosco Wong on Weibo (micro-blogging platform) recently, strived to clear her name, saying that it is all in the over-active imagination of the Hongkong press.
"I write on Weibo so that fans would be able to get to know the real me," she said. "I wouldn’t let them (unscrupulous press) bother me."
During their visit here, the stars also launched the MY AOD Favourites 2010, an online voting campaign organised by AOD and MY FM and supported by HK-TVB, which allows Astro customers to cast votes for their favourite artistes and drama series.
Voting will end on Nov 14.
