TVB new drama "The Ultimate Addiction", with main leads Bosco Wong, Kate Tsui, Nancy Wu, Ben Wong and Toby Leung, will be airing next Monday. Yesterday, the cast gathered at a seaview restaurant to promote the drama. TVB even spent a heavy 6 figure amount to connect live at the event with the main lead, Bosco, who was filming at Hengdian in Mainland. The artists who were at the venue made fun of Bosco, how was on the big screen, making it a very funny moment. 

Kate laughed saying yesterday was the largest promotional event in history; broadcasting live in two places seems like something that would only happen at anniversary events; therefore she is very happy to be able to participate in such a heavily invested drama. She also revealed that TVB will also produce souvenirs to gift to the audience. Kate expressed that it's been a while (since she's been in a big production), so she feels it's very rare opportunity. Will she have pressure for ratings because of this? She replied: "We'll try our best! We still have a lot of promotional jobs. We will be going to the Shanghai TV Festival in the beginning of June, and will also promote the insert song she will sing for the drama. It's been a while since I sang, but there is no plans for releasing an album yet." Kate also laughed saying Bosco is very busy making RMB in Mainland, so she hopes he can return to Hong Kong as soon as possible to promote together and attend the TV Festival. Asked if Kate has any intimate scenes with Bosco in the drama? She stated that they do not, but she does with Nancy, so she feels she made a breakthrough. She explained the scene happens because Nancy suspected that she was a lesbian; therefore there is a kissing scene: "It's pretty intense, challenging the boundaries of TV. It was a little awkward, but it was more awkward for Nancy because she was the one taking initiative, and it was also very quiet on set!" 

Nancy laughed stating that kissing Kate was even more nervewracking than kissing Bosco, who plays her husband in the drama, because she has never force kissed someone else. She even had to push Kate against the wall. Because she was afraid of hurting Kate, they NG-ed two times. She expressed that she and her good female friends will often give each other small pecks: "But actually force kissing someone and being force kissed by someone is not a good experience, because it is only one-sided, not mutual!" Nancy, who also has quite a few kissing scenes with Bosco, continued saying that this time is one of the more intimate experiences in her whole career. Asked if Kate or Bosco is better to kiss? She laughed saying the two are different; with Bosco, they are very normal husband-wife kissing scenes, but force kissing Kate felt more intense! 

Toby is training for abs to become a fighter

Toby appeared with a sexy, black, transparent outfit, revealing her bra and showing her long legs. She stated that she is now working hard on getting abs for her fighter character in her new drama in August: "Want to train for abs; I'm also doing boxing and Table Dance now, hope to be more strong and fit because I hurt a ligament when filming for "The Ultimate Addiction"." She also laughed saying she (her look) is sexy in a healthy way, just a bit exaggerated in the past. She even admitted that her bust size has shrunk!

With various conflicts happening in mainland China at the moment, Hong Kong actress Kate Tsui says that she will be extra careful during her promotional tour in Shanghai.

As reported on On CC, the actress, who appeared at the promotional event of her upcoming drama, "The Ultimate Addiction" with fellow co-stars Nancy Wu, Sharon Chan, and Jeanette Leung in Yau Tong recently, admitted that she is worried about the upcoming promotional activities in mainland China.


"I am quite nervous about it, but I do believe that TVB will tighten the security at the event," said Kate.


In regards to the news about the woman in Shandong who was beaten to death at a fast food restaurant after refusing to give her number to a group of religious cult members, Kate said, "I hope that mainland citizens will be extra careful. It's better to watch TV series at home than going out all the time."


Meanwhile, when asked about co-star Bosco Wong's absence from the promotional event for the third time running due to his filming obligation in China, Kate joked, "He should treat us to a meal. He can't escape this time!"

"I am more compatible with acting. Having people liking my music is enough," said the actress.


Meanwhile, when asked about the plastic surgery rumours surrounding co-star Nancy Wu, Kate laughed and denied it, saying, "If her nose looks different, it may have been caused by camera angles."

TVB actor Bosco Wong recently dismissed rumours saying that he and his former girlfriend of eight years, Myolie Wu have decided to rekindle their romance.

As reported on Mingpao, the actor, who made an appearance at the Shanghai TV Festival under the "TVB Family 2014 Programme Recommendation Press Conference" to promote his latest series, "The Ultimate Addiction", stated that the rumour was just a misunderstanding.


"People understood it wrong. The rumour was actually written about Nancy Wu and not me," said Bosco.


However, Bosco said he doesn't mind the rumours, as it helps the series' promotion, saying, "It's either relationship rumours, or rumours about co-stars having a conflict with each other!"


The actor's presence at the press conference also marked his first time promoting for the upcoming series, after being absent from previous promotions due to his hectic filming schedule in mainland China.


When asked how he would be making it up to his co-stars, Bosco joked, "I'll just stick myself on a cutting board. They can cut and mince all they want!"

Filming in Mainland China, Bosco Wong missed earlier promotions for currently airing TVB drama The Ultimate Addiction. Recently completing his Mainland drama, he now has more free time to help out with promotions. He appeared at the Shanghai TV Festival yesterday to promote the drama with co-stars Kate Tsui and Ben Wong.

Bosco portrays a ruthless CEO in The Ultimate Addiction, which centers on human greed in the cut-throat world of Hong Kong’s financial sector. The role was a new challenge for the 33-year-old actor. “[The drama] has been getting great reactions. So far, it has reached over 50 million views online.” In its first week of broadcast, the drama averaged 27 ratings points and peaked at 28 points. Bosco joked that if ratings increase, his costar Kate would have to reveal more skin.

Kate interjected, “What? I already revealed a lot of skin for my weight loss commercial. I also revealed my back in the drama. If ratings do get better, I’ll just ask the producer to air an extended scene of my bare back.” “Oh, if that’s the case then I’ll reveal my chest,” said Bosco. Even without further skin exposure from the stars at promotional events, The Ultimate Addiction features titillating scenes ahead. Nancy Wu forces a kiss on Kate, who flashes her nude body before Nancy while pretending to be a lesbian. In a bedroom scene with Bosco, Nancy will strip down to a black bra while trying to seduce her husband.

NOTE: There may be a mistake in the article regarding the first week ratings. First week ratings were reported to have averaged 22 PTS and peaked at 26 PTS.

Sharon Chan wants the role of a villain


Though Sharon Chan plays the role of a police woman yet again for her new series, "The Ultimate Addiction", the TVB actress recently admitted she hopes to be offered antagonist roles in future.

According to Hong Kong's On CC News, the actress denied that her role in "The Ultimate Addiction" is similar to other police characters she played previously. She said, "My character started off righteous, but then she slowly turned into a different person who is willing to sell her body due to several tragic incidents."

"It's like playing dual roles instead of one," she added.

However, the actress still hopes that she will be given a different kind of challenge in the future, saying, "It doesn't matter if it's an ugly character, a housewife, or a newspaper delivery person, I'll do it. But I am looking forward to play the role of a villain the most."

Meanwhile, Sharon revealed that she is also currently rehearsing her vocals in preparation for her Hokkien album, which is scheduled to be launched at the end of the year.

"The album will be mostly ballad songs," Sharon revealed.

Sharon Chan affected by miscarriage sceneSharon Chan affected by miscarriage scene

TVB actress Sharon Chan recently shared that her most unforgettable scene in her new series "The Ultimate Addiction" will be the one she will not be watching when it is aired on television.

As reported in Hong Kong's ON CC News, the actress, who admitted that her role in the series is her most challenging yet, revealed that filming a miscarriage scene for the series was really the most memorable, yet the most difficult performance for her as an actress.

"Filming the scene made a huge impact to me. We shot the scene in an operation room with the lights directly on my face, making it feel almost real," said Sharon.

The actress added that in order to make the scene looked more realistic, the crew also used a pig organ as the miscarried baby.

"I will definitely not watch the scene. I think I would be traumatised by it," said Sharon.

The actress, who plays a dual role in the series, said that she pitied her character very much due to her tragic life.

"She had a depression and a miscarriage. She was also wrongly accused and imprisoned, so she decided to become rich in order to seek revenge. She turned into a strong woman in the finance world because of what happened to her. I really feel sorry for her," said Sharon.
