16 New Dramas Introduced at 2014 TVB Sales Presentation

With nearly a thousand sponsors attending the event, the 2014 TVB Sales Presentation was held with tremendous success on November 7, 2013. The trailers of sixteen new television dramas were shown at the star-studded annual presentation. Twelve new variety shows and informative programs were introduced to the audience, which included the long-awaited 2014 Mr. Hong Kong competition, a male beauty pageant had been on hiatus in the last two years.

TVB Will Focus on Comedies

Next year, TVB announced that they will focus on producing light-hearted comedies and other productions that will focus on the current issues of modern Hong Kong society. Franklin Wong (黃華麒), producer of Below the Lion Rock <獅子山下>, an immensely popular RTHK soap opera about the lives of Hong Kong citizens, is confirmed to produce a television drama that will spawn 13 to 26 episodes for TVB.

Wong Cho Lam(王祖藍), who wrote and starred in 2013’s most critically successful drama Inbound Troubles <老表,你好嘢!>, will return to write an unrelated sequel Inbound Troubles 2, which is currently under the temporary title Cousin, You’re So Hea! <老表,你好Hea!>.

In addition, TVB also confirmed that award-winning actor Anthony Wong (黃秋生) will be returning to TVB next year to film the television drama, Kung Fu <功夫>.

Star-studded Red Carpet

Over 60 TVB artists attended the special presentation in red carpet fashion. Former couple, Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) and Bosco Wong (黃宗澤), appeared on the same stage but avoided each other. Bosco was accompanied by Mr. & Mrs. Bean <貓屎媽媽> costar, Eliza Sam (岑麗香), while Myolie Wu walked the entrance with Ron Ng (吳卓羲).

Arm in arm, former couple Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎) and Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) entered the stage together. The former couple were arranged to stand next to each other, but were not seen interacting. However, Kevin later insisted that he had chatted with Charmaine backstage. Niki Chow(周麗淇), who had dated Kevin in the past, was seen chatting with Sammy Leung (森美) and dodged Kevin throughout the night.

On the other hand, current rumored couples like Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) withLinda Chung (鍾嘉欣), and Priscilla Wong (黃翠如) with Tony Hung (洪永城), did not show any awkward signs and happily complied with the media’s request of taking photos together. They were also seen chatting together on stage.

    1. True also I think they forgot Cold Mountain, Hidden Dragon, and Property Protector .

    1. Same and I’m looking forward to the battle of tomorrow too!

    1. You’re right. Even the Lin Xia Wei-Kenneth Ma wuxia series has been turned into an ancient detective series focusing on ancient constables.

    2. I want more wuxia series but good ones unlike the bad and low quality ones that TVB has been so cheap on making. They are so cheap on wuxia series that is ridiculous. No wonder most of their series are modern since they are cheaper and easier to make.

  1. I’m only interested in the cop related series. TVB has always manage to make well budgeted and entertaining cop series except the latest Sniper Standoff. I can see that TVB is promoting Wayne and Ron a lot next year.

    Why do they give a veteran like Michelle Yim a filler comedy series? I can sense that this is a tactic to promote Eliza by partnering her with Michelle Yim and Bosco, in Eliza’s comfortable homegrown element which is simple comedy series.

  2. Ron’s get up has got to be the worst. The color’s awful, the suit is an eyesore with the cropped legs and those shoes are just too comical. Plus his hairstyle looks choppy and messy and like someone commented, males him look like a lady-boy. Myolie’s look is drab and dowdy and aging with that dark red color and that funny slash across her chest which looks more like an after-thought. Her bare face and her unstyled hair do not match the grandeur of the occasion. She looked like a busy housewife who barely had time to style her hair and powder her nose and just jumped straight into that gown and off to the function. Never seen her looking worse.
