TVB's "Anniversary Awards Ceremony 2008" and "Anniversary Extravaganza" will be held on the 15th and 19th of November. To welcome TVB's 41st Anniversary, TVB held a lighting ceremony at TVB City yesterday. All the TVB artistes were present and took group photos together. This year due to "Moonlight Resonance" having extremely high viewing ratings, the senior artistes were particularly valued such as Louise Lee, Nancy Sit, Ng Kwan Lai, Lee Heung Kum, Michelle Yim and Susanna Kwan who all stood in the front row. Liza Wang stood next to Sir Run Run Shaw. Every year when the TVB Anniversary has a lighting ceremony, they would take group photos together and do promotions. At 5pm yesterday, Sir Run Run Shaw arrived and was accompanied by Miss Hong Kong winner Edelweiss Cheung. He appeared very well and his walking movements were stable. He stood in the middle inbewteen Liza Wang and Dodo Cheng. The Fa Dan's that stood in the front row this year were Gigi Lai, Ada Choi, Charmaine Sheh, Sheren Tang and Maggie Siu. In the second row stood the male leads including Moses Chan, Roger Kwok, Bowie Lam, Kevin Cheng, Bosco Wong, Ron Ng, Ivan Ho, Michael Tse, Patrick Dunn, Bobby Au Yeung, Michael Miu, Wong Hei, Paul Chun, David Chiang and Matthew Ko. Myolie Wu who has been nominated for "My Favourite Female Character Role" was arranged to stand in the 3rd row with Tavia Yeung, Kate Tsui, Linda Chung and Fala Chen. All of the artistes had to do hand gestures to promote TVB's 41st Anniversary. Sir Run Run Shaw watched Liza Wang as she demonstrated and copied. Afterwards Liza praised him "Very Smart". Joyce Cheng was arranged to sing her new drama theme song. She appeared quite nervous and admitted afterwards that it affected her performance. She hoped that she could retake it. As for being arranged to perform first she said " TVB really love me, I feel like I have officially joined the TVB family. I have been raised drinking TVB's milk and have been drinking it since I was in my mother's stomach". "The Gem of Life" cast show off jewels The cast of "The Gem of Life" Gigi Lai, Moses Chan, Maggie Siu etc did an catwalk and showed off jewels. Maggie Siu who wore a low cut dress was most sexy out of all of them. She joked "Sorry that I scared all of you". Afterwards, Wong Cho Lam and Elvina Kong acted out an comedy scene to wish TVB Happy Birthday. Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh were both present. Even though he said he didn't feel awkward and didn't mind taking photos together, in the end he never took any with her. He personally said that September was the Gossip month. He hopes September will pass quickly and all the gossip will fade away. As for who he thinks will win "Best Actor"? He personally feels all the cast from "Moonlight Resonance" have a high chance. When we mentioned that Charmaine has also been nominated. He replied "I support her too". Charmaine thanked Kevin for his comments but doesn't have much confidence in winning because "Moonlight Resonance" is too powerful. She personally has high hopes for Susanna Kwan in taking the TV Queen award. Source: Wenweipo, Pics: Mingpao Translated by: kingkongit27 @ ******************
