Ron Ng balances gain/losses by turning down Mainland series

Ron Ng, Kate Tsui, Toby Leung, and Chow Chung were filming new series "Reunion" in Sham Shui Bo earlier. This time, Ron and Kate will be playing a pair. The reporter asked Ron if he is worried that rumours, Ron laughed, "No, as I have already worked with Kate before, so there shouldn't be any rumours".

Many artistes like to make fast money by doing stage performances in the New Year, Ron said, "I will be filming in the new year. Originally, I was supposed to film two Mainland series, but I turned it down, as I am filming 'Reunion' now." (Did you lose a chance to make extra income?) He said, "I understand that I cannot just film Mainland series to make money. I need to be known in Hong Kong, too. I believe the decision I made was worth it. That is why I will not calculate [the gain and loss]". Ron and Kate seem to have a lot of chemistry together, as the filming process is rather rushed. Every time they take their places, they are very serious about it. Therefore, filming getting into and out of the car scenes is filmed at its first take. The filming progress is going very smoothly. Kate expressed that that she is very happy filming this series, as the cast is very harmonious together. (What is your New Year wish?) Kate laughed and said, "I don't want to think about it too much. I will continue work hard, and grasp onto every opportunity".

Toby looked rather tired, so the reporter comforted her. Toby said, "Wow, the filming of this series continues from day to night with only a few hours of rest time. Luckily, the entire cast is very compatible. Besides filming, I am also taking care of my business, so I am very busy". Toby and her friend have opened up a wedding planning business together. Other than designing and planning weddings, their business also organizes function. She said, "It is very similar to the functions that public relations company organizes. I can learn more with an extra work of the trade. I love to act, but vulnerably, not everyone is able to accept me. So, in one hand, I am working on my business, and on the other hand, I can do my most loved acting. I have many goals in my life, and I am very happy right now".

Caption 1: Toby and Chow Chung's eyes are watering non-stop due to smoke from burning paper money.

Caption 2: Due to lack of rest and probably kneeling too long, Toby felt dizzy. During a re-take scene, crew members grabbed a canister for Toby to sit on.

Caption 3: Ron and Kate have already worked together. Before they got into their places, they were going over the script, and they were very focused during the actual filming. Most of the scenes were filmed on its first take.
