Ruco Chan Doesn’t Want TV King Title

Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) has been heavily promoted by TVB since rejoining the station in 2008. Critically praised for flexing his acting chops in diverse roles, Ruco’s recent performance in Ruse of Engagement <叛逃> could potentially propel him to the TV King battle during the TVB Anniversary Awards. However, Ruco states that getting the Best Actor award is not his goal.

While Ron Ng (吳卓羲) also co-lead in Ruse of Engagement, it was rumored that TVB favored Ruco instead and gave him more screen time. Not worried by the gossip, Ruco stated that fans have different preferences in artistes, so there is a need to support of each other rather than see it as a case for rivalry.

No Interest in Being TV King

While Ruco does not believe that he is being especially promoted by TVB, he appreciates all the opportunities he has been given so far, and hopes to receive more challenging roles. He especially looks forward to starring in a science-fiction production.

Ruco’s goal is not set on the Best Actor award. He said, “It’ll come when it needs to, but the TV King title is not my main goal. I don’t think an actor should be limited by the ability to win an award. If I’m in this for the award, would there be any meaning left? An actor should focus on playing the role well, and the end result would be to see if the audience likes it or not. I won’t put pressure on myself.  The Best Actor award is an affirmation, but it doesn’t mean you’re great. I’ll try my best for everything that I want to do.”

Prefers Athletic Girls

Although he has been rumored with co-star Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) many times, he claimed that they are only good colleagues. Ruco revealed that he prefers athletic, straightforward, and tomboy-like girls. He is currently very busy with work and has no time for dating. He does not mind getting married at a later age, preferring to let nature run its course.

  1. His acting is good but after watching his series nothing left in my mind.

    1. Ruse of Engagement has good story outline and character development and the ending is beyond the standardized happy ending. It is good to leave room for further thought. Truly, Ruco acted very well. He shone as to compare with other actors.

  2. I like his mentality. It’s both productive and adapting to circumstances that’s not within his control.

    Hmm… want to star in a sci-fic production? Not sure if TVB is the best bet for that. Venture into films maybe?

    1. Yet another reason why I love him. 🙂

      Haha, I was thinking the same thing… Science fiction never was and probably never will be TVB’s thing no matter how experimental they get. Plus the special effects would be so tacky.

  3. Support Ruco! nice to know his mindset on BA.

  4. guess not all actors are interested in winning the award is nice to win it but

  5. An actor should focus on playing the role well, and the end result would be to see if the audience likes it or not. I won’t put pressure on myself. The Best Actor award is an affirmation, but it doesn’t mean you’re great.
    —————————————————————-
    That is the right attitude for any artistes.

  6. I agree with that statement. Ruco acts well and is handsome too and his future in acting seems bright.

  7. Straightforward and Tomboy-like girl ? I think Tavia Yeung is the one. Too bad she has Him. Otherwise, Ruco and Tavia will be a good couple

    1. Tomboy like but not in appearance. His previous girlfriends have common ground I believe;

      1. beautiful
      2. physically attractive
      3. active lifestyle

      Tavia I doubt.

      1. Those three adjectives make him sound like he has high-quality tastes, hehe.

        I do hope it’s not Tavia though.

      2. I also agree I first thought of tavia when he dwscribed his type! I thought they shared great chemistry in TOT.

        Also they offscreen interactions and flirting on weibo is why I’m indicating tavia

      3. how about annie liu? i think she has all these qualities.

      4. He said he likes sporty girls. Annie Liu is she sporty? But most of all pretty girls. Come on, the man can have standard.

      5. Ruco is a very attractive man; I’m sure he’s not short of beautiful women throwing themselves at him. He is more than just a handsome face, he has good character and personality as well. Just look at his response. Instead of saying that not winning BA doesn’t make one a bad actor, he said that winning the BA is an affirmation but doesn’t mean that he’s the greatest. It’s his humility which endears him to all his fans and which makes him so popular with many readers here.

      6. yes i think she is sporty,since she joined the hk marathon every year.she is really a goddess!

      7. you people throwing up names make me laugh. Who he likes is not for you to say and is none of your business, ok? Why must you people suggest who he should date? Leave the man alone.

  8. He never said he didn’t want the title. He is saying it is not his main goal. Very different.

    “He does not mind getting married at a later age, preferring to let nature run its course.”

    As said many times, career first.

    1. Agree. Ruco looks good in the above photos.

      1. yes nice pic,but i dont understand why such a tough guy as him needs an earring? where is it good for?

  9. It will be nice seeing ruco join the tv king club.. It will be nice if someone different can get it each year not the same actor getting it over and over again

  10. I am not his fans…but Ruco really act very very good and sing well… Bosco act very very well too…

  11. Love to see his acting. Watch and will watch every series he participated in coz his acting never disappoints me. Even though sometimes the series is not so good and I might forget them BUT I would never forget the characters he played. I more I watch, I more I have him.

  12. Quote Dayo Wong: 我對獎項嘅態度係唔主動、唔抗拒同唔負責。

  13. Love him to the extent that not only like to see the dramas he participated in but also all other shows he participates in…. Addicted to Ruco that I joined his fans club. No medicine to cure…

  14. I am not his fan but I do enjoy watching his shows.

    Only Ruco and Michael Tse are suitable for action packed thriller dramas.

  15. He seems to love to wear cute rounded specs 😛

  16. OK baby Ruco, I know your very positive mindset. It seems fans (including me) are more eager that you get TV King than you yourself. From now on, I won’t give you pressure on this issue. Never forget that when you lost best actor in Malaysia last year, you told us with your gentle smile and grateful eyes that you are more more happier in getting supports from your fans than winning the award. Hope you work with pleasure. We are happy when you are happy. I Love you.

  17. Ruco’s response on tv king title: may be he knows tbb’s system won’t allow him to get it sooner than those own born sons, and so not to disappoint his fans. But he’s much excited at getting any award. Just see how he kissed the most popular HK tv actor trophy at e-award, the joy was clearly marked on his face. I also believe that he’s not specially promoted. Tbb owes him justice.

    1. Not yet, his day will come and it will be worth the wait but not yet.

      As for kissing the award, he won it 3 times in a row by fan voting. Who knows? Maybe with TVB TV King, he might actually lick the award.

      1. I often feel TVB has always been very biased with their selections. Never fair, it’s always on favouritism. The best actor & best actress award should only go to the person who truly deserves it & not to who ever’s blue eye boy/girl. As such unfairness will dry talents out.

      2. Agree with bloom.
        Funn, you sound like 620 XDD.
        Wait? How long? 3-5 yrs? Ruco might have left tbb or even HK market. He’s frying hot in Mainland China at present. ROE has over 6 billion hitting points(2nd to TITS II),said by PRC fans in weibo. He said in an interview lately that his station is HK for the further 2-3 yrs, i.e. he may renew his contract with tbb for same period only.

      3. 620

        “Who is this Ruco person? I do not know him”

  18. Watch out ladies! Obviously his eyeing on Best actress/TV Queen Award

  19. The header is immensely misleading and makes Ruco sound arrogant. He didn’t say that he doesn’t want TV King title; rather, he said that it was not his goal.

  20. hi there

    1. ruco is one outstanding male lead in tvb today.
    2. I would prefer seeing ruco is some comedy role.
    3. he makes me laugh.
    4. tvb king or no king, ruco is excellent.

  21. I agree Ruco is the BEST!! We know how talented he is with or without the award. Ruco forever!!!

  22. I have not been watching much TVB dramas of late and have not got the chance to watch Ruco Chan. But this guys seems to be very honest, no airs and hard working and it seems a lot of positive things were said about him. I was trying to think probably people like him didnt come in to TVB the easiest way, he wasn’t cast for any dramas until of late TVB was lacking of talents. I’ve a feeling he can act better than Moses Chan for example since TVB is promoting Moses am I not right? Good luck to Ruco Chan, hope his career soars.

    1. I do consider Ruco acts better than Moses. Ruco’s acting is impressive to me.

    2. Just compare the working attitude of the two. When being asked about shooting intimate scenes, Moses said he would like to avoid shooting these scenes (probably because he was married and has a child) as far as possible, whilst Ruco said that it won’t be a problem if the circumstances so required since he and his partner should be professional actor/actress. There had been rumors that Moses was originally cast in Brother’s Keeper to act with Ruco as double lead actors. However, Moses turned down the offer since at then time he considered that Ruco was not of his same level.

      1. Moses’s era is over. His series have recorded bottom ratings for the last 2 yrs. Ruco has better looks and acting, and most importantly, more professional. Moses’s position is higher than Ruco in tbb, but the other way round in the minds of majority audience. Who cares about tbb’s position?

      2. 1.Moses is married with child.
        2. He has had his fair share of kissing even if he kisses like a log of wood and doing CPR
        3. Ruco is not married, no girlfriend and he has yet to be A-list in the List A like Moses.
        4. Ruco is more ambitious.

  23. Ruco’s the best thing in TVB right now. He can sing and act and looks so smoking hot! Love Ruco so much not only for his talent and looks but also for his humble character. He’s every girl’s dream man ♡♡♡

  24. He’s lying and making news for himself. Every actor/actress want a award whether its TVB KING or Best actor or any type of award to acknowledge the actor and get paid higher and get more fame.

    1. If you read the chinese article or this article carefully you will know that the headline is misleading. He didn’t say that he doesn’t want tv king award but it’s not his goal. He wants to act his role as best as he can and the tb king

      1. Sorry pressed submit button accidentally. He believes that as long as he puts his heart to his work, the tv king title will follow if the audience likes his work. I like his philosophy.

      2. Thumb up choco-bunny. He likes the show business and puts his heart to his performance. He once said that he is so lucky to have a job that he enjoys and works happily and with enthusiasm.

    2. Maybe he is lying but taken entirely out of context. He wants the award but he want to earn it.

  25. most artistes want that award. to say that the doesn’t is such a lie.

  26. TBB’s most favourite son ‘Chok’ has a new drama this year. Ruco’s chance to win is
    decreased. I guess he feels hopeless for the award.
