The premiere episode of TVB series, “Burning Flame 3″ 《烈火雄心 3》was broadcast last night. It had an average rating of 36 points and peaked at 38 points, with 2.42 million people tuning in to watch.
Over the last three years, “Burning Flame 3” had the highest number of viewers watching the premiere episode. The last series to achieve this distinction was “Dance of Passion” 《火舞黃沙》.
Among the three “Burning Flame” series, “Burning Flame 3” had the strongest opening. To celebrate, Producer Amy Wong, asked Kevin Cheng Ka Wing, Myolie Wu Hang Yee and Matthew Ko to greet reporters at TVB City while opening cans of beer.
Kevin and Myolie were both exciting by the initial high ratings. Were they worried that the ratings may decline in the following weeks? Kevin admitted there was pressure, but hoped the audience will continue to support the series. Did Kevin believe that the ratings for “Burning Flame 3” will break the record established by “Jewel in the Palace?” Kevin noted it was still too early to tell. If he can foresee the future, then he would like the ability to predict the Hang Seng Index.
If “Burning Flame 3” continues to have good ratings, how would Kevin celebrate? Kevin promised to wear swimming briefs if the series averages 40 points. However, he must first consult with [other cast members], otherwise it would be odd if he were the only one wearing swimming briefs. The cast of “Burning Flame 3” will have a promotional event at a beach later. Kevin hopes that he will be able to provide the public with a pleasant surprise.
Will Myolie wear a bikini if the ratings are ideal? Myolie laughed, “The entire Hong Kong has already seen me in a bikini. It’s better if I wear a cheerleader outfit instead! “ Although Myolie’s character did not make an entrance in the series yet, she was confident in the future ratings. Since the filming was especially grueling for the male actors, Myolie noted that the credit should go to them.
Will Myolie celebrate with rumored boyfriend, Bosco Wong Chung Chak over the success of “Burning Flame 3?” Myolie said, “In the series, I do not have any relations with him.” Kevin helped Myolie [out of the awkward situation] and said, “Ask me instead!”
