At TVB’s 2012 Sales Presentation, which was held on November 1st, preview clips of upcoming series were shown to advertisers. Aside from Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄2> and War and Beauty 2 <金枝慾孽2>, the reporter found the most attraction in Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) and Moses Chan’s (陳豪) 4 In Love.
In 4 In Love, Moses portrayed a Mongkok Jai who successfully pursued Charmaine, who played a superstar in the series. A scene from 4 in Love featured Charmaine’s fully nude back! The camera panned sensually from the top of her head down to her feet. Upon closer scrutiny, the nude figure did not possess the curves and slim waist that Charmaine was famously known for. Most likely, a body double was used in the nude scene.
In addition, Moses had to strip down to his underwear on the streets of Mongkok. Although Moses did not wear a thong in the scene, it was conceptually daring. Did Moses wish to challenge girlfriend, Aimee Chan (陳茵媺), who revealed her bra in Forensic Heroes 3 <法證先鋒III>? Although Charmaine had a body double, Moses appeared in his underwear on public streets. Working as a model in the past and flashing his butt in the in film, Twenty Something <晚九朝五>, Moses’ underwear flash in 4 in Love was elementary!
Triumph in the Skies 2
Another heavyweight drama in 2012 was Triumph in the Skies 2, which continued to feature Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), while adding TVB #1 Brother, Raymond Lam (林峯). Possessing a heart condition in the original Triumph in the Skies, Myolie will become lame and wheelchair bound in the sequel. The reporter wondered how Myolie’s perpetually ill character continued to attract so many men’s interest?
In the sales presentation clip, Triumph in the Skies 2 featured Chilam Cheung (張智霖) replacing Francis Ng (吳鎮宇). In the series, Chilam and pilot, Fala Chen (陳法拉), will share a love relationship and held hands at the airport gates.
Francis Ng Appears
Towards the end of the video clip for Triumph in the Skies 2, Francis Ng suddenly appeared and indicated that he will portray a pilot in the sequel. However, the reporter heard that Francis will only make a cameo appearance.

Jayne: TVB continues to sell its series through titillation. A male body double was likely used to film Charmaine Sheh’s nude scene. Was the naked butt truly necessary for the scene? I can’t imagine what the circumstances may have been.

I have to agree, I also believe that the body double would be a man.
Just like how they had a man with a wig on to be Tavia Yeung in Men with No Shadows when she was falling off the balcony. Or like how they had a man be Sharon Chan running through the streets naked.
So is Trumph in the skies 2 a totally different story with different characters or do some of them portray the same characters with just a few extra new people added?
lol, charmaine doesn’t have such a thick waist. That’s obviously a man as the body double. As for nudity fronting on tv, I think Hkers will probably say the most complains as compare to other asia countries…wonder why? Is it too hard to suit their taste?
Maybe charmaine should do a re-shoot w/ her actual bare back to clear her name. That body double gives her a bad rap.
lol, yeah the back looks like some transvestite’s back.
I doubt Charmaine will bare her back for tvb just to clear the bad rap she got from this double since she doesn’t bother about t-vb anymore.
Is TVB getting really desperate or something?? IN the past, TVB would never use any form of nudity in their series but now… I guess times have changed.
If i’m not mistaken, it’s tvb new bosses that wanted some sex/kissing scenes to be added in the new series. Many ppl notice that after these new bosses took over tvb, alot of kissing scenes were filmed inorder to attract audiences.
Hmpf. Then they better send their actors to a kissing camp because they all suck at kissing techniques.
@advo
Yea I know! They all suck at kissing techniques! Its all wooden and unnatural and awkward. The only two people I think have a naturally good kissing scene is Louis Koo and Jessica Hsuan =D
Jessica is good at kissing? I thought she looks rather wooden in acting.
@advo:
If they had such thing as kissing camp, I think the actors would sign up right away.
@veejay:
Did u see DIF4? Even if Jessica had wooden acting, what actress wouldn’t loosen up for a love scene w/ Louis Koo?
@josie,
the DIF4 is with Louis Koo and Sammi Cheng?
I only find Jessica’s acting rather wooden only in those new series not her old series, I can still rmb first time saw her on TV, she has long hair and her looks was rather livelier and pretty. I can’t rmb what is the name of that series she first filmed in but she did a lot of kissin scenes with this actor (can’t recall his name) and she didnt look like a wood at all..(probably she was alot of younger and livelier)
But don’t get me wrong here, I’m no Jessica’s hater and she’s the only reason I watch the Curse of the royal harem.
I’m just someone who will criticize whoever (artists) without personal grudges.
@josie,
Some actors doesn’t need to sign such camp inorder to get “close” with their pretty co-star..I can rmb there was this allegations made by Elaine Yeow..or someone else that this veteran actor “intentionally” touch her private parts sort of..
I feel pity for these pretty actresses sometimes when they’re given a role to play the mistress or concubine to these veteran actors who are known as “salty pig hand” and they have to pretend nothing happen n kiss them! ewww lol
Veejay,
The Louis and Sammi series was “man’s best friend”. Very cute series except I would’ve picked Susan (Sammi).
DIF is detective investigation files. Parts 1-3 had Michael Tao and kenix kwok. Then part 4 was taken over by a whole new cast (like FH3) including Louis and sunny. Anyway, Louis and Jessica were a quietly, sexy couple in there.
I think Jessica will make a cute couple with Louise Koo too cuz Louis is tall enough to match Jessica’s height..Jessica seems tall to me lol.
Jessica also looks good with Sunny especially when Sunny portrays too submissive husband/bf while jessica being the mean and clever one just like the Judge series they were in b4.
when actor/actresses kiss, they look like a bobblehead(dont know if spelled right), their body is like a stick or wooden, but their head moves right and left. its funny to watch lol
um its a man for sure
Charmaine has a thin waist but from what I can observe also a flat butt. And frankly I doubt she will do such a scene.
And arms too thick. Looks like a man.
Agree. I first thought it’s Moses.
Does showing the whole naked back really necessary for that scene. If it does, can that scene or the body double be more convincing. Using a man for Charmaine’s 22 inches waist. LOL
I did not read the whole thing I just read from the part that read Triumph in the Skies 2

with a a heart condition ?
will she have the doll she had before from triumph in the skies 1 (2003)
LF to Myolie in T.I.T.S 2 (lol lol): “Why most of the time you and me end up together, your legs have problem?” (Refer to Taichi as well). Myolie: “Because you have problem with your legs before so you can understand” (refer to The Four). LF: “Make sense, stay in a wheelchair still can look cool and still can xxx, don’t be worried”. Myolie: “Can?”. LF: “Sure, ask Kate, she knew it!”
Ok, kidding
.
I doubt that the TITS2 will truly be made with the clip’s cast. Chilam busy, LF busy during the March-April time. Ron and Kenneth might be free sooner than that and have another series, then busy.
