Raymond Lam Wins TVB Veterens Heart In Being TV King
Last year, TVB arranged for Moses Chan to perform in grand production, Heart of Greed, which made him the TV King. This year, TVB films "Heart of Greed 2", but this time, they are changing strength and are supporting Raymond Lam, who is back from the dead (he died in the last sequel). There are reports indicating that TVB has added more of Raymond's scenes, which will make him this year's TV King. Even "Dai (and) Sai Kai", Sze Kei Jie and Susanna Kwan also predicts he would ascend the king's throne. Although Raymond stays silent to avoid suspicion, but when he was filming for "HOG 2" in North Point that day, besides that he had a large number of fans who wants to take a picture with him, there are also many maid fans, he can be called the new generation "Lady Killer 师奶杀手"
In "Heart of Greed", Raymond was a guest performer, not the main lead. The storyline had him to die in a car crash. But in "Heart of Greed 2", this time, Moses would die, instead, Raymond's scenes are more important. Looks like TVB purposely wants to boost Raymond. As for the reports about being the TV King, maybe the question is a little sensitive, as Raymond seems to avoid them. He said, "Don't say la, everyone plays a part in the series. Honestly speaking, if the script is not good, it is no use no matter how hard the actors work. This time, the script is written very well, interactions between characters are more complicating compared to the last sequel. It is very exciting and interesting, I'm already very happy to be able to play
a good role."
That day, Raymond, Susanna, Sze Kei Jie, Wayne Lai and many more were at North Point filming outdoor scenes for "Heart of Greed 2", which attracted many residents to take picture of them filming and snatching to see their idol's elegant demeanor. At the scene, there are many maid who are Raymond's fans, who said that Raymond is thinner and more handsome in person.
During filming, Raymond's expression appears to be very calm, frequently joking with Sze Kei Jie and Wayne. He also took advantage when they haven't started filming, he went to the bakery to play with a Husky. Because his house also reared a Husky, so he had exceptionally more feelings.
As for the reports of TVB purposely making Raymond the TV King, Susanna didn't agree with this saying. She said, "Acting is a mutual exchange. Raymond has entered the industry for more than 10 years, and is handsome, acting skills are getting matured by the day. This time there's a good series for him to shine with, and in the series, his role is very important, it's about time to be the TV King"." Even Sze Kei Jie feels that Raymond is quite good in the new generation of TVB, and looks up to Raymond becoming the TV King.
On the other hand, originally, Wayne was suppose to play the role of "Uncle Po" (Kau Fu Po), but because his rectum had an ulcer, which required him to go through an operation in the hospital. So, Louis Yuen replaced him. Wayne was asked if he felt pity for missing this very popular role. He laughed and said, "Never mind, maybe if I played the role, it might not have that good of a response." This time, Wayne plays the baker's 老夥记 (Lou Hou Ji - like a shop that have been there for very long with good reputations), although there are only 10 episodes of his scenes, but there is definitely some room to reign with.
