The night before yesterday was the TVB 43rd Anniversary Gala, the prologue was a satirical skit of 2010's popular dramas packaged with heavily promoted male and female artists. In the skit, Nat Chan is shuttled through the popular and well applauded series including: Can't Buy Me Love, No Regrets, Every Move You Make, When Lanes Merge, and The Mysteries of Love. However, the TVB anniversary series Gun Metal Grey with just as good ratings and public praises as No Regrets was no where to be seen. Also, the majority of the cast to that series were not invited to attend the TVB Anniversary Gala, while Nancy Wu attended representing another series. Felix Wong bursts in bad language Yesterday, Gun's Mad Sir (Michael Miu) and Stone Sir (Felix Wong) both had an uproar on Weibo. Stone Sir Felix Wong described his angered with a puff of fire: "Someone said: 'well applauded series does not get attention, lacks promotion (have to rely on the cast to do it), and repeatedly suppressed... I Felix Wong really want to ask which company is this?" Then Mad Sir Michael Miu replies: "Not a company...did a person do this?" This resulted in Stone Sir not being able to keep in his anger: "totally very bad, I'll hold it!" Soon after, the media contacted both Felix and Michael to ask for an explanation. Michael frankly said that TVB isn't giving Gun Metal Grey much attention: "Before there was little promotion, now we didn't get invited to the anniversary celebration, really what happened? Did we offend someone?" Felix said: "Many fans asked me why it's like that? I also want to know why, I am part of the audience too, I don't know what policy TVB has. (Will you ask TVB for an explanation?) Not necessary! Tell them to explain on TV. (Didn't invite you and the cast of Gun to attend?) No, not even one. It's fine that they didn't even mention Gun, but TVB should really at least ask us if we want to attend... turns out that they didn't ask any one of us, I already asked Michael and Jessica Hsuan." Producer of Gun (Tong Kei Ming) also felt that this was unfair to them: "TVB should be taking care of their artists regardless. I can only say gold fears no fire, it's good enough the series got good public praises!" "Not Satisfied Then Why Not Speak Up" TVB Anniversary Gala program producer (Wai Sai Fai) did not agree, saying that the anniversary celebration was not for series promotion, it is mainly to celebrate the TVB Anniversary and have a relaxing entertainment show. He said: "Gun is a law enforcement drama, serious dramas cannot be played with. Actually, the sitcom Some Day wasn't invited either, we considered what's right to play with before we made arrangements. Even if many of the artists didn't do a performance, they still got to be on stage for a raffle drawing to win prizes. I don't understand why they (Michael and Felix) didn't come, but the artiste department is responsible for arranging the artists, I also feel pitiful, I don't understand why they are unsatisfied, why didn't they say so before the fact. I always have my phone on, if there is a complaint, why didn't call me to talk about it!" Source: Oriental Daily
Oh shit. Obviously when everyone is at the event.. and you're not invited.. you'll be pissed off! Also, the reason why Felix & Michael didn't attend.. was because they didn't get invited as they said. If you never got invited, but you attended.. it makes yourself seem bad.
It really sucks that this series is running at the same time as No Regrets. Should've been given a better time slot like right after No Regrets finishes or delay this somehow. It was just a bad decision to run 2 AAA series at the same time. Even I haven't watched it because i want to finish No Regrets first.
+1 It's normal for them to swear and burst in an outrage. Self inviting yourself will make you look like a beg.
I noticed that too when i watched Anniversary Gala last night. They promoted No Regret series a lot. Are they brainwashing the audience or something...like saying No Regret should win no matter what. And I think Waylai will win again...not agaist it...but they simply promoted Waylai OR Moses...even there are 15? of them in the list..
TVB celebrate his 43rd anniversary: EVERYONE from TVB or work for TVB should be invited for the anniversaries shows, including the cast of Gun Metal Grey and Some Day. So what the programm producer said is BULL
When they say, "Gun is a law enforcement drama, serious dramas cannot be played with. Actually, the sitcom Some Day wasn't invited either, we considered what's right to play with before we made arrangements", i hope they were kidding. So they're saying no regrets is NOT serious? Wat kind of producers and managers did TVB hired? WTF is happening to TVB? I was mad when gun metal grey's casts wasnt there....because i like that drama wayy more than the other two series combine. I guess TVB is pretty harsh when it comes to promoting a certain actor/actresses/dramas.
That princess show shouldn't really be promoted to win any awards lol. I've seen the first few episodes and its not award worthy at all. Even if it got way better at the end, i can't see a half assed show winning any award.
I guess after all that posting by the 2 sirs, TVB will pull them up and give them a warning. No regrets was an even serious drama it involes opium addiction and japanese ruining china and really reminds traumatised people of the war, these casts shouldn't even be present at all then.
for the opening skit...seriously, u can't really play it with a serious police drama, also, so far they haven't establish anything memorable unlike No Regrets....... tho i think Felix's being a little ___, i admire how he just speak out whatever he wants w/o afraid of Totally Very Bad~
Fans of Felix Wong and Michael Mui will feel a bit aggreived by seeing the series being taken lightly by the company - it seems Gun Metal are receiving impressive reviews and well received by audiences compared to the other two TVB "Celebration Drama". As for the Gala Show...many bid name artists were also missing...Charmaine, Jessica, Felix, Sheren, Raymond, Gallen, etc...
Of course not. No Regrets is a comedy(sarcastic). TVB should shown more respect to his veteran actors
well can understand why Felix and Michael Miu are both pissed off. it is very true, why aren't they and the rest of the cast of Gun Metal Grey invited to the show. who is answerable and responsible for this mistake, Virginia Lok?
I saw the special and was totally thinking of the very thing: why weren't Felix and Michael there? I consider them to be TVB veterans and many people watch series because of them two; not to mention this was the first collab since forever for the two of them. It's a pity TVB continues to be so biased.
