The cast of Overachievers <名門暗戰> promoted the series yesterday at a red carpet event. The 30-episode drama, which stars Wayne Lai (黎耀祥), Raymond Wong (黃浩然), Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), Maggie Shiu (邵美琪),Nancy Wu (胡定欣), Fred Cheng (鄭俊弘), and Sisley Choi (蔡思貝) premieres on Monday night, November 3. Wayne is confident that the drama will be a success, but in regards to his chance for winning TV King for the fourth time, Wayne said that depends on the viewers. In response to HKTV launching its online network on TVB’s Anniversary day, Wayne welcomes HKTV’s call for the ratings battle, as competition drives improvement. Although the nominations for this year’s TVB Awards have not been announced yet, Nancy Wu said she hopes Overachievers will earn enough popularity to earn a nomination for Best Drama. Wayne Lai Convinces Myolie Wu to Stay with TVB There has been talk that Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) does not plan to renew her TVB contract next year when it expires, opting for a full-time career in mainland China instead. Wayne, who had collaborated with Myolie in the yet-to-air No Reserve <巾幗梟雄之諜血長天>, said he hopes Myolie will reconsider. “When you go to mainland China, it’s all about finding fast money. But you can’t learn anything. Myolie is a good costar and a very flexible actress. She can improve even more if she stays. TVB is a good place for you to train hard. I hope she will be able to maintain both [TVB and the mainland markets]. If I see her sometime, I will talk about it with her.” Sisley Choi Responds to Rumors with Fred Cheng Fred Cheng and Sisley Choi became good friends after collaborating in Overachievers. Rumored to be dating, Sisley was spotted attending Fred’s first solo concert on November 1. However, Sisley left the concert early, sparking rumors that Sisley wanted to avoid being seen at the same time as Fred’s rumored girlfriend Lesley Chiang (姜麗文). Sisley said, “That’s not true. I’m currently filming a drama and I’ve only managed to find time in my schedule to go support Fred. We are good friends. Everything in the reports is just rumors.” Creds: Oriental Daily
