Synopsis

Chin Siu-ho, a former undercover cop, seeks refuge at the Wutang Mountains after suffering a serious setback. He re-encounters his martial arts senior, Yuen Qiu, who now operates an inn and martial arts school. She allows Siu-ho to stay to work as a chef and also takes in the mentally retarded Derek Kwok, who has an unknown background. The originally peaceful place is disrupted by a group of martial arts students from Hong Kong, which includes Yuen Qiu's daughter (Tavia Yeung), a champion fighter with a serious illness (Timmy Hung), a wealthy heir (Jonathan Cheung), a female personal bodyguard (Toby Leung) and a model (Regen Cheung). It turns out that Siu-ho and Tavia had already met in Hong Kong. Her reappearance brings up painful memories for him. Later, he discovers that the real purpose of her trip is to convince her mother to sell the inn to a Hong Kong corporation. Yuen Qiu deliberately injures herself and asks Siu-ho to take over as the martial arts instructor. She promises that if Tavia can win a competition within three months, she will fulfill her wish. As the course nears an end, Derek suddenly becomes normal again and recognizes Siu-ho's real identity, thereby surrounding the Wudang Mountains with great danger...

Artiste Jason Chan (陳智燊) attended the promotion campaign for new series, Wudang Rules (潮拜武當) in Tai Po (大埔). In the series, he had relationship scenes with Tavia Yeung (楊怡) and Carat Cheung (張名雅) and will be a 'two-timer' as well.

Jason disclosed he had 'naked' bed scenes with Tavia: "We worked together before and the filming on that day was tight and embarrassing, and completed it within 1 or 2 takes. (The exposure?) We did not wear any top. (Any kissing scenes?) Nope." When asked if he was afraid of incurring jealousy of her boyfriend, Him Law (羅仲謙), Jason laughed and said: "Slightly afraid! He is big-sized but it was requested by the director." He added he did inform his girlfriend, Sarah Song (宋熙年) beforehand: "I told her before and after the filming. (Afraid of causing misunderstanding with your girlfriend?) I treat it as a topic."

Chin Siu Ho's casting in Wu Tang Rules makes me anticipate the series. It has been a while since I have seen a TVB martial arts series. XD

Tavia Yeung wants to learn Tai Ji when she retires?

 

 

 

Artiste Tavia Yeung (楊怡) attended the promotion campaign of new series, Wudang Rules (潮拜武當) in Kwai Fong (葵芳) and expressed she learnt Tai Ji (太極) for filming purpose but already forgotten most of the steps. She went for location shooting in Wudang (武當) and praised the scenery there was beautiful and saw blue sky and clouds. As such, this improved her mental state and Tavia planned to bring her mother there. As for Tai Ji, she might learnt it after retirement as it required long time to learn.

When asked if she had any confidence for the ratings, Tavia said: "Yes, it had been 20 years since Siu Ho 'ge' (小豪哥) returned to film series in TVB and looking forward to it." Asked if she taught any skills to her boyfriend, Him Law (羅仲謙), Tavia said: "Nope as he might not fight as well as me. Tai Ji is for exchanging knowledge and not for fighting. It's better not to challenge me."

Artiste Chin Siu Ho (錢小豪) attended the promotion activity of the series, Wudang Rules (潮拜武當) in Yau Tong (油塘) and expressed his son was studying secondary one and he could not accompany him to study together. Hence, his wife brought him for exercising today (07 June).  Siu Ho disclosed his son will be taking examinations soon and stopping racing car at the moment. Also, he did not have high expectation of his son's studies and a pass will do, but hoped to make use of racing car to increase his interest in machinery course. Siu Ho said: "You need to know French, Spain and Germany languages in order to become racing car opponent. You can go for competition first, but need to know machinery. He can be a racing car opponent despite no interest in machinery after graduated."

When asked if his son had any comments about his acting skills in Wudang Rules series, Siu Ho said: "Nope. But there was a scene about Tavia Yeung (楊怡) and I went to a hotel room, he commented I deserved death." He added that he had many auntie fans after the series was broadcasted: "Many sisters loved it and I will be teased whenever going out."

Asked if he will be working with TVB again, Siu Ho said: "Yes, but depends on the script and it had been 18 years since I filmed TVB series, and hope to continue it." When the reporters asked if he monitored the news about Bobby Au Yeung's (歐陽震華) contract renewal issue, Siu Ho replied he was an outsider and inconvenient to provide his comment, and it was usually the manager's duty to negotiate the contract.

Hong Kong needs to release something other than Kung Fu themed movies/tv shows once in a while?
