Though 101-year-old Sir Run Run Shaw had gradually faded from the industry and resigned from being TVB’s CEO, after that Laughing Gor movie which reaped good results, the Shaw Brothers company, where Sir Run Run Shaw is a major shareholder, still continues to work with TVB to film a Chinese New Year movie, 73 Tenants, using most of the station’s artistes. Not allowing any mistakes, considering that the male and female leads need to be influential and a ratings guarantee, the movie producer, Eric Tsang, found Jacky Cheung and Anita Yuen to become the leads. He then matched Stephy Tang with Bosco Wong. With these two bickering couples, there’ll be more laughter during the festive period. Fighting To Become Bosco Wong’s Girlfriend Other than spending huge amount of money to invite ‘outsiders’ as the main leads, TVB, who had the intention to promote their own artistes, has already decided that the second male lead shall belong to Bosco Wong. As for his partner, it was said that Myolie Wu once brought this up to the executives, fighting for the chance to become an onscreen couple with her boyfriend. However, the director, Patrick Kong, strongly recommended the queen of rumors, Stephy Tang. After some considerations, TVB felt that Stephy had more experience in movies. She also had a more reliable past record with one of her movies racking in good results, and adding on that her onscreen partnership with Bosco Wong is refreshing, thus for his role, Virginia Lok, would rather give up her favorite artiste, Myolie Wu, and allow Stephy to be the second female lead. Myolie Wu once pestered the executives that she wanted to become an onscreen couple with boyfriend Bosco Wong in the movie, but in the end, she was being kicked out. Sources: myoliewuhangyee.com
There is no doubt this movie will yield high earnings. TVB + Patrick Kong & Stephy I think Bosco and Stephy will be an odd couple though
