TV Kings, Moses Chan (陳豪) and Wayne Lai (黎耀祥), recently started filming for new TVB drama, The Love Firm <傳愛事務所> with Fala Chen (陳法拉). Moses and Wayne will play lawyers, frequently competing together in courtroom scenes. According to Producer Tsui Cheng Hong (徐正康), Moses and Wayne have great collaboration onscreen. He remarked, “I watched the playback, and saw the performances of the two deserving TV Kings. They are both powerful lawyers in the drama, and it’s evident that they both put thought into crafting their acting performances. They possess completely different styles. It could be seen that they put pressure on each other, but minor competition yields great results.” Moses and Wayne proved to be very professional actors. Earlier, they shot a scene where their characters were in a “frenemy” relationship. They conversed like old friends behind the camera, but as soon as the camera started rolling, they immediately got into their roles. Moses said, “Wayne is known for having not having any outtakes. Since I would probably have more outtakes than him, it is important that I make enough preparations. The last time I worked with Wayne was in 2005, and it feels great to collaborate with him again.” Physical outlook also seemed to be a factor of competition between Moses and Wayne. In fact, Moses admitted that he lost 15 pounds for his role. “Earlier, I started calculating the amount of fat in my diet. The most important thing is not consuming oil. But ever since filming began, I couldn’t prepare my own meals. I would ask the canteen staff to help me cook dishes without oil. I lost 15 pounds in less than two weeks. At work, everyone kept asking me to teach them how to keep fit.” Regarding Moses’ successful weight loss, Wayne laughed and said that not wanting to lose to Moses, he cut down his food intake and only ate fruit for dinner. “Because it was Christmas earlier, I allowed myself to relax a little. I brought home a turkey and celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas with family and friends.” Moses spent a satisfying Christmas Eve with his girlfriend, Aimee Chan (陳茵媺). He remarked, “We both love Christmas. Being able to find time to spend it together along with a group of friends was awesome. I also prepared Aimee a very valuable gift. As to what it is, it’s a secret.” Fala had finished filming Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄 II> earlier with Francis Ng (吳鎮宇) and Chilam Cheung (張智霖). Now collaborating with two TV Kings, Fala had to make sure she placed a lot of effort in studying her lines, especially when many parts of the script were court dialogue. “It feels like studying for an exam,” she said. “Luckily, Moses and Wayne are both very caring, and they won’t place a lot of pressure on me. I feel relaxed at work.” Fala further remarked that both dramas were big challenges for her, but she really filming them. Creds: Ming Pao
