This year's TVB Anniversary Awards is held on December 16th, the results had always been closely related to the Malaysia's Astro My Favourite TVB Awards, which will be held on December 1st this year. It was rumored TVB's "non-biological son" Chilam Cheung especially took a day off to attend this "warm up" awards show. No wonder it had been widely rumored that Chilam will most likely get Astro's TV King title. Chilam's momentum for the TVB TV King title is also just as high, he can defeat the other two popular candidates Wayne Lai and Moses Chan anytime.
Chilam popularity skyrocketed after his "Cool Mor" role in
Triumph in the Skies II. Earlier he signed with a new artist management company and it was said TVB offered him a very high salary to sign with them, but unfortunately he went with another company. However, Chilam and TVB still maintained a close relationship. Aside from the upcoming
Triumph in the Skies film edition, TVB quickly tried to pave the road so Chilam could agree to shoot another series with them next year. Also, TVB recently produced a special called
Our Chilam, which is airing on TVB Network Vision (aka. TVB Pay Vision) and soon after reruns of Chilam's popular drama
Point of No Return will be showing on TVB Network Vision as well.
Yesterday Chilam accepted a telephone interview and admitted. "I am attending the Astro awards because I'll be holding a concert in Malaysia on November 30th, so I'll just be staying an extra day. (TVB asked you to shoot another series for them?) We do have this plan, still discussing. If there aren't any accidents, I will be participating in a modern series in the last half of the next year. (Heard you're taking the TV King title this year?) I'm always welcoming awards, but I'm not too anxious about it. (You're not a TVB contracted artists and still treated so well?) If its true, then that proves they are being fair. (Not afraid people might say your shooting a series in exchange for award?) What? You can do something to exchange for awards? In the past, I did one series per year, how come I didn't get any awards? Haha."
Chilam also admitted its a 'double winner' for him to participate in a TVB series. "There's nothing negative about this whole thing, why wouldn't I do it? Right now, the only issue is the schedules because next year I'll have more work and I want to bring some surprises to everyone." Asked about his co-stars and character in the new series next year? Chilam said: "Decide that later. After all, I respect the crew and the team. I don't have any special suggestion or opinion."
Tavia Yeung Supports Linda Chung for TV Queen: "She Deserves It" As for TV Queen, Linda Chung is the popular pick for this year depending on her role in
Brother's Keeper. Even last year's TV Queen Tavia Yeung, who has a chance to get the title again for
The Hippocratic Crush II, supported her good friend Linda. Tavia expressed Linda has been very hard working in acting and singing; she puts in a lot of effort and time into her work, so she definitely deserves the award. Tavia said: "I'll be just as happy if she (Linda) gets the award. As for myself, I'm not anxious about it, regardless if I get it or not, I will still do my best."
