Chilam Cheung (張智霖) has been declared as the most dashing pilot in Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄II>! Joining the cast in the sequel to TVB’s popular drama, Chilam will portray a playboy pilot. Netizens touted Chilam as being an even more dashing pilot than Francis Ng (吳鎮宇), a compliment which Chilam awkwardly brushed aside.
Chilam and Francis will both be vying for the love of pilot, Fala Chen (陳法拉). The trio’s “30-40-50″ love triangle was appealing on the eyes, despite the large age gap between them. Fala is 30 years old, Chilam is 40 years old, and Francis Ng 50 years old. The men maintained their youthful looks and Chilam even wore clothes from his private wardrobe yesterday for better results.
Last night’s outdoor filming in Lan Kwai Fong attracted a large pedestrian gathering. Fala and Francis were standing on the street, when Chilam drove by in his white Jaguar. Fala immediately rushed to Chilam’s side and the pair displayed their easy affection for each other. Fala and Chilam continued to have a lively exchange inside the car.
With his extensive experience in filming movies, Francis offered valuable input to the cinematographer, including angles in which the scenes can be be filmed. Due to the high summer temperatures, Francis was seen sweating noticeably in his suit jacket.The scene required one hour to film before the cast and crew of Triumph in the Skies 2 wrapped up the work for the evening.
Myolie Wu Reveals Short Haircut
Francis Ng and Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) portrayed memorable lovers in the original Triumph in the Skies. Although Myolie will resume her role as Francis’ wife, “Zoe,” her character will only appear for several episodes before dying. Afterward, Francis will eventually become romantically involved with Fala Chen.
Myolie will portray a second role in Triumph in the Skies 2 as an aircraft technician. At producer Joe Chen’s (陳維冠) request, Myolie has already cut her hair short for her tomboyish role. She will have a romance with Ron Ng (吳卓羲) in the sequel.

This is a more flattering pic of Myolie’s new haircut.
Does this means that Myolie has no scenes as Zoe in the sequel?
(
I believe she does. I read somewhere that she will appear as Zoe in the first few episodes. If not, flashbacks?
She does. And completed already.
i read somewhere that zoe will only appear up to the second episode before dying
Yeah, I like the haircut front more too. I think they’ll just use a wig for the Zoe scenes.
I prefer Chilam with short hair. His hair in CBWH and TMWFI looked good!
Am i the only one not liking the fact Fala is in it??
Myolie is supposedly the leading actress but the way i see it Fala = first lead. Myolie = 2nd lead
I mean Fala love line is Francis and Chi Lam. While Myolie has Ron…
funny…..my husband loves Fala. I think she is cute in certain roles. The serious and crying ones are pathetic!! But hey it’s whoever TVB likes to promote??
@Smile. I agree with you. she can play bubbly childish roles. but serious roles just shows her flaw – she speaks cantonese with a lag – it just doesnt flow if it makes any sense. and also shes bad at comedic roles eg Queens of Diamonds and Hearts that was a pain to watch
Lol, I’m not really against Fala being in the film but what I’m against is her being the main girl! I’m not much a fan of her!
Myolie and Fala co-leading reminded me of Flora and Myolie in the first part. At the time, Myolie paired up with Francis while Flora paired up with Joe. Yeah, there were complaints bc Myolie was just rising up. But, hey, fans got over it.
How I see it is TVB is grooming Fala next. Myolie already won BA. Her position at TVB is safe. While she’s expanding to Mainland, TVB is promoting Fala.
It’s certainly interesting, because in hindsight, people seem to have embraced Myolie as Zoe and not consider her “stealing the limelight” from Flora. Fala is on almost, if not same level as Myolie, yet people can’t accept her being paired up with Chilam and Francis? Even though, Myolie was paired up with Francis when she was a newbie and with Chilam just last year in that Blossom series. I find the hypocrisy ~amusing tbh.
When Myolie acted as Zoe, it was the first installment, and she and Francis, ended up being one of the most well loved couples. During Valentines this year, when there was the voting for the best couples award, I believe this was one of the top 10 couples after 10 years, it’s still extremely popular.
So TVB is telling me that although they can get both leads back for the installment, they are gonna kill off one and make the other a lookalike, and no, they aren’t gonna be together? Usually they kill off a lead if the lead is busy with another series, or unable to come back, but this?
So is it hypocrisy? No.
And in fact, if it isn’t fala, but someone like Mandy (who is actually a newbie like Myolie was in TITS), it may be better received. As there has been quite some recent news about Fala being too big for her boots, like news about her withdrawing from SSSS was actually because she didn’t want to play 2nd fiddle to Tavia, and then her album, where she starts blaming her record company for not promoting her album enough (she IS a newbie afterall, stop acting like she’s top singer), I don’t like how arrogant she is now.
I certainly prefer TVB to groom Mandy than Fala.
@ Nicole: How is she arrogant? In fact, the article we read that we weren’t sure whether it’s true or not, so don’t blame her!
Fala is acting like a big shot and wants things her way. Don’t like her attitude.
I agree that if Myolie is filming the sequel, then she should have played Zoe, not another character. As to why she got booted, I don’t know. But, it’s not Fala’s fault. I understand fans are upset. Myolie had her share of complaints in the first part.
Also, I don’t think Fala is acting like a “big shot” as many claimed.
@ Nicole
It’s plain out hypocrisy because people can’t take that Fala gets paired up with two popular actors. Completely disregarding the fact that Myolie has been paired up with both Francis and Chilam in the past, before she was even TVB’s no. 1 fadan. Are Chilam and Francis being used to prop Fala? Probably. Likely because TVB wants her to get a good chance at TV Queen next year. But seeing as they did exactly the same for Myolie last year… I am not seeing the problem. Or, if people have a problem with it when it’s Fala, but not with Myolie then I certainly will claim hypocrisy!
Oh please. It would be better if it was someone like Mandy? Why? Because you like her more? Then why are people flipping at Jason Chan for being promoted to lead and having the privilege of being paired up with Linda?
So there has been some negative news about Fala and that ofc means she can suddenly command what happens in TVB? Because she’s (rumoured to be) Mrs. Sit? Never mind that those rumours have been going on forever and Fala is just now getting arrogant? You want to tell me, that TVB would do whatever Fala commands because she allegedly Mrs. Sit (even though she’s dated him for years!) and mistreat Myolie, their newest 1st Sister that they worked so hard to groom in place after Charmaine’s departure?
Or… Could it be that TVB actually need more than one leading lady and they need to groom Fala? Just like they have done for Myolie last year, Tavia this year and probably Fala next year. But no, of course it’s Fala’s fault and it’s clearly because she thinks she’s a big shot *rme*. It could never ever the scriptwriters and producers’ fault. It’s clearly Fala who’s writing the script now.
Tell me, do you always believe every word you read about the entertainment industry?
Fala can get the two leads easily with her Mrs Sit status.
I don’t mind Fala in it, but would much prefer Myo to be female lead. I was hoping for Sam and Zoe to reunite for TITS2. Even if Myo doesn’t play Zoe anymore, I’d still like her to pair with Francis.
I actually like Fala, She did it pretty well in LOO. But when it comes to Zoe It don’t feel right that a zoe look a like in the film should end up with another person, I am already against that Zoe dies out, and now when the look a like Zoe don’t even ends up with Sam, then it is dissapointing.
But but maybe I shouldn’t say anything before the series is starting
Nope, you’re not alone! Fala can’t handle the weight of this series. With such a big production, they shouldn’t be taking risks like that. In another article, Fala even dared to say that she’s going to fight for a chance to sing the themesong too!
I almost don’t want to watch this just because of her being the lead.
Which article reports that ” Fala even dared to say that she’s going to fight for a chance to sing the theme song ?”
Fala didn’t say it. Herman Ho did.
I thought he said he has no plans to renew Fala’s contract, and he will use the company’s resources on promoting Linda next.
For the theme song, let Chilam sing it ALONE.
@nemesis
In another article, both Herman and Fala dismissed the rumors. Eh I guess we don’t really know what’s going on.
I prefer a professional to sing the theme. If nouser hen use the old theme lol
U r not alone. I dislike the STD ruling entirely. N I don’t think It is fair to let Fala play main lead. I hate the storyline already. Maybe we should all write in to TVB to complain about the weak story plot and get them to change it a bit. Haha!
@Smile. I agree with you. she can play bubbly childish roles. but serious roles just shows her flaw – she speaks cantonese with a lag – it just doesnt flow if it makes any sense. and also shes bad at comedic roles eg Queens of Diamonds and Hearts that was a pain to watch
Fala in a uniform…..MmmMmm yummy!
ths is gettng ridiculous.. why in the hell woukd thy ask myolie to play 2 roles.. isnt it a bit creepy. for zoey die thn voila someone who looks like her working in airport aso
It’s not that creepy. 99.9% of mainland dramas and Korean dramas do the same thing. But in those the second role is like a sister or daughter of the first role. Often appearing at the same time.
Ugh , I liked Myolie long hair ;( don’t really like the short hairish look o;
I love her short hair. ;]
I wasn’t sure if I was keen on Fala’s pairings with either Chilam or Francis based on the press conference pictures. But surprisingly, she looks pretty good with either in the filming videos. Will be interesting to see how they pan out.
Poor Myolie. No wonder why she didn’t want to cut her hair. The boy cut is hideous.
The boy cut is better from the front. The side picture was a bad angle.
I don’t think so.
I saw the cut from different angles, and it’s a bad haircut.
Myolie’s new look is very old-looking. 90s perhaps? She can pull off short hair, but THIS particular cut is plain ugly. Hopefully, it’s not the actual look. Style it or do something!
What’s the point in getting a short haircut in order to appear tomboy-ish if her makeup’s the same as her gazillion other dramas?
I still prefer Francis Ng over Chi Lam as a pilot.
Yup, Francis gives a more seniority and professional pilot feels than Chilam
My choice as pilot:
1. Joe Ma
2. Francis Ng
3. Chi Lam
!! me too ! francis all the way !
Myolie doesn’t have good profile shots. She looks too bony and her jaw is too striking.
Am I the only one who like Myolie in this hairdo?
i think its smethng different
Not really because she had short hair maby time in the past.
I think it’s cute
I think is HOT!
I also like her hairstyle so you’re not only one.. Myolie with short hair gives a professional feeling. She looks feminine in long hair and short suits her best.
Oh yes. Not many girls in Txb can look good in short hair and Myolie is one.
Don’t like the pairing!! Terrible storyline. Fall shouldn’t get the 2 main male leads- Francis and Chilam going after her. But the most stupid pairing is Myolie with Ron. She died as Francis’s wife only to return later as Ron’s gf, who is also Francis younger brother!! That’s really lousy storyline!! Myolie should play the love interest of Chilam and because she looks so much like Francis’s dead wife, Francis chase after her as well. At the same time, Fala can comes in as the 4th party in this triangle love and make it into 4some!! I can accept this plot better than Fala getting all the limelight!! She can’t hold down the fort!
Not looking forward to TITS 2 because I really don’t like Fala at all!, her acting is only bearable at times!!
Same here – she is so over-rate and over promote.
and only 1 type of expression from Fala!!!
I like your plot more than what it its.
your plot makes a lot more sense… I think TVB is trying too hard in the past few years to be different, so different to the point that it makes no sense. I understand if they are trying to be original and bring fresh ideas but some classics are meant to be untouched- or at least make it work to continue the legacy.
The whole pairing thing spoils it for me. I wanna watch Myolie with Francis and Chilam.
now I am not so sure I will look forward to series. 
Me 2. Hate the pairing!
i think ron work would only be around myolie and francis i dont really think he will have his own story line
I think audiences doesn’t care of Ron anymore, maybe minority mostly his fans will be anticipating to view his performances and most are eager to watch Francis and ChiLam, teh 2 power handsome men rather than a womanizer with kinky fetish
I guess the audiece still care Ron at this moment. If not who bother to read his news with the girls for the reporters to run everywhere to dig more this way
.
And no way to confirm that Chilamand Francis are not womanizer ^_^. Im not saying they are because I cant know.
Myolie look awesome with that new hair cut! Love it! Chilam is so damm HOT!
Myolie is always suitable for short hair, she’s one of those who can carry short hair well. and Chilam, he’s a never old legend.
Fala is obviously leading over myolie in TITS2. Look at the male leads they’re paired up with: Fala with the highest paid actors on the series – Chilam and Francis…. and look at Myolie – having cut an ugly tomboy haircut and paired up with pitiful Ron who’s always in supporting roles …….. poor myolie. Big sacrifice (for her hair) – im not even sure its worth it.
I think tvb is using Francis and Chilam to promote Fala, and using Myolie to promote the other newbies. Summer (Myolie’s new character) is well liked by the technicians under her and also the landlord of some of the air stewardesses.
Like what you said. Myolie is used to promote Ron and the technician newbies who look up to her while Francis and Chilam are used to promote Mrs Sit.
Yes, yes. Francis and Chilam are propping Fala while Myolie is propping Ron. Just like Francis propped Myolie in the first TITS. What’s the big deal? This only cements Myolie’s status as leading lady when she is the one propping other people.
I’m not excited about Fala either. They should have replaced Flora with a more mature woman… like Maggie Cheung, Jessica Hsuan, or even Charmaine..
Maggie went to CTI, Jessica already terminated contract with tvb so is Charmaine. Doubt any of these will want to film for TVB for such a long series lol.
@JAYNESTARS: New insider scope
Tiffany Tang Reject Intimate Scenes and Alienate Bosco Wong to please Roy Chiu; Bosco Wong losing weight out of depression
http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/entertainment/20120813/34435309
wow
Wow the news
I saw this news too, but here: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1789195431?pn=1
Thanks to HK media getting all costars involved, now all his costars are afraid to get near him. Maybe they have boyfriends in real life.
If this rate goes on, he might turn gay
WOW. Poor guy.
But damn Roy Chiu is lucky have gf like this
Roy Qiu is so cute!
Roy Qiu is indeed blessed that Tiffany can reject intimate scenes to please him. It reminded me how Fala refuse any kissing scenes in LOO.
When did Fala refuse kissing scenes in LOO because I remember them kissing. Awkwardly and without a hint of chemistry, but I definitely remember a kiss.
I thought Myolie won’t cut her hair? cuz she said its very hard for her to keep up to that length? I guess she changed her mind
she’s a professional actress
Myolie has ranted in her weibo earlier about her sadness to sacrifice her hair when the director told her to cut it this short but she showed she’s a professional by cutting it in the end
Myolie said she was going to work it out with the producer. So, it didn’t work out.
Myolie sacrificed big by cutting the hair. We should praise her professionalism
Really? Myolie said she likes short hair in an interview. That was a few years ago, before Ghetto Justice. Perhaps she changed her mind?
Anyhow, she looks more alert and playful with short hair. Her shoulder length hair in GJ2, when down, makes her look rather auntie.
I think she looks better in short hair, but this hair style is ugly and dated.
The producer ordered her to.
She said before that she wanted to discuss with the producer but I guess she failed the discussion.
What I want to know is if the supporting cast are back. I really enjoyed Mary Hon and Shek Sau as Francis and Ron’s parents. They were great entertainment and comic relief as the bickering oldies who refuse to grow up!
I believe not, as Shek Sau joined CTI.
Thanks for the info! I did not know that Shek Sau joined CTI. I will miss seeing him in TVB series.
I love Myolie and I love Zoe too. Myolie is very lovely, beautiful and professional. She is a perfect actress. Zoe is No.1 in TITS 1, in Sam’s heart. I really hope Zoe won’t die in TITS 2. TVB should listen to the audiences’ ideas. Myolie must be the lead female in TITS 2. Myolie is the angel of TITS 1, no reason for the second role in TITS 2. She no.1 forever.
