TVB recently won the broadcasting rights to FIFA World Cup in 2014. To celebrate this acquisition as well as to promote its “Amazing Summer” campaign, the company gathered over 360 artists yesterday to shoot promotional clips and snap group photos for this year’s TVB calendar. Due to their busy work schedules, many top artists were absent at the event. To generate buzz amidst poor artist attendance, TVB positioned former couple Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) and Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) next to each other. Although both claimed to have moved on from their 8-year relationship, Myolie and Bosco appeared rather awkward and avoided contact completely at the event. Among the current first-line artists, only Kenneth Ma (馬國明), Bosco, Myolie, and Kate Tsui (徐子珊) took their spots in the front row. The rest of the line was filled by audience favorites Wong Cho Lam (王祖藍), Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), Selena Li (李詩韻), Ruco Chan (陳展鵬), and Kristal Tin (田蕊妮). The male artists donned red polo shirts while the actresses wore a contrasting green. Myolie and Bosco avoided speaking to each other throughout the shoot and both maintained obvious physical distance. Myolie diverted attention away from the awakwardness by chatting frequently with Kenneth Ma. Bosco also kept himself busy by talking with good friend Kate Tsui, with whom he was previously rumored. When reporters asked if it was awkward to stand so close to her former flame, Myolie denied any discomfort. “[We] have been out of touch for quite awhile. It is normal to run into colleagues.” When pressed about the possibility of the two getting back together, Myolie tried to avoid answering the question by saying, “Why aren’t Moses Chan (陳豪) and Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) here today? It would be great if they are!” While Myolie treated him as a stranger in public, Bosco remained courteous and greeted Myolie during his press interview. When asked to comment about standing next to Myolie at the photo shoot, Bosco said, “We’re just doing our jobs as normal.” Bosco was then asked if he would collaborate with Myolie in the future. Bosco seemed open to the idea. “It depends on the company’s plans. You guys are the ones who make this awkward! Things are actually okay between us.” Creds: Apple Daily
