Tuesday March 27, 2007 Hong Kong Miriam Yeung and Sammy Leung took part in the studio blessing yesterday for the new series of "Minutes to Fame" before the first episode will be shot in the evening. Miriam will be demonstrating her cloth spinning act and she gave a sneak preview for the press, but couldn't help laughing: "You can see how rubbish I am!" She also invited Master Wang from the series "Huo Yuan Jia" starring Ekin Cheng to demonstrate bending a metal pipe and breaking a metal ring with his body. Miriam laughs that she was afraid of the metal hitting her face: "I need my face to make a living!" When Master Wang used his neck to bend a steel rod, Miriam and Sammy became his assistants, helping him to hold the rod. They were both rather scared though and ended up screaming. Sammy also trapped his fingers. Miriam says that she has provisionally agreed to do 10 episodes of the show because she has to tie it in with her forthcoming filming and promotion schedules. When the reporters indicated that she often laughs uncontrollably, she says that she is also afraid that during filming she will be too wrapped up in laughing and forget to eliminate people. So is she helping TVB hand out their money? She syas that she is afraid of not stopping the act until after 90 seconds and then having to hand out $9000. Talking of the good ratings from the last series, does she feel the pressure? She says she does not because she and Sammy will be hosting the show and TVB want to give the audience something fresh. As long as they are both absorbed, then it will be a good show. credit: takungpao, asianfanatics.
