@jjwong Good point. Freedom of press in China has never progressed, so we cannot speak of going backwards.

@jjwong Voting in HK is just a one-sided rigged game.

@jjwong Because there is no democracy in China, it’s more like a dictatorship. Currently you can “vote” in HK, but only choose amongst CCP pre approved candidates, so not a true democracy. Ie there is no actual point in voting, since it won’t make a difference, every candidate is just a mouthpiece for China. Telling people to vote suggests she supports democratic appointment of candidates, not what CCP wants.

@jjwong The hate-mongering isn't coming only from Chinese netizens. There's be plenty of 'she's so ugly.....he's so ugly" in reference to Awkwafina, Simu and other celebrities by non-mainlanders here on this forum.

Oh yay, two boring-looking actors came together a drab photoshot with ninja color clothing and stone poses in an uninspired background. Kudos!

I find it hilariously ironic. So I assume these Chinese people referred to the current popular Chinese actors, aka the "fresh meat," are the ideal of what Chinese men look like - the funny part is that those actors go under the knife, styling, hair and make-up, are copied from Western and other Asian, primarily Korean, countries. So why are they the ideal representation of Chinese men?? I REALLY hope the script is good, Simu can act, and this turns into a blockbuster hit so it'll slap these shallow-ness in the face.

@jimmyszeto I feel US is the same way, regressed a few decades back on some legal laws and society by-laws. In this case however, I don't feel China regressed because they're not really "progressed" to begin with. Censorship is the norm, must love thy government, and what officials say is the law are the ways.

Someone fills me in - how's encouraging people to vote a "pro-HK"?

@jjwong i assume this is combined hit rate of all episodes. if you divide the hit rate by the # of episodes, the numbers make more sense.... but you can't ignore the fact that these numbers aren't mostly likely rigged.

@jjwong Yup…and it’s not just that – China already said that any HK artist who attends the awards will be put on some type of blacklist….oh and let’s not forget the travel ban to Taiwan as well...so they basically don’t want any association whatsoever with Taiwan. Don’t be surprised if sooner or later, even saying the word “Taiwan” will be forbidden too, lol.

@jjwong Haha...don’t know about the dancing part but I saw the clip of Kenneth singing and it was definitely cringeworthy! Come on, Kenneth - I like you and all but please stick to your day job! Thank you! :-)

@hohliu No doubt!

@llwy12 I'm down! It's still him, live, singing. Heck ya. Lol.

@llwy12 IKR?? Lol. I didn't read about it either. The title of the article was already enough for me to roll my eyes. Lol.

@llwy12 This is too funny. I kept thinking of KM when we talked about Carlos on the other article. I thought to myself yea, Carlos can't be any worse than KM in singing and dancing. Lol.

Rubbish. Who gives these classes and passes all these mhk horrible? They should be fired. Yea, yea, its TVB ways and means nothing. More laughable is instead actually work on actual acting skills like line delivery, none verbal expression, body language, you go to a massage parlor?? Lol. She'll have like 2 scenes as foot massage therapist. The remaining will be her standing around and reading a prompt screen and looking directly at the camera.

TL; DR World population is less than 8B ....

Oh here we go... China is flexing and everyone is bending over backwards. It's petty. They're like kids throwing tantrum bc someone doesn't like or want to play with them. Lol. It sucks for the people who put in the works and efforts on these films.

@jjwong Hahahahaha! So true! :-) I actually didn’t even read the summary to see what the movie is about, as I saw the names Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger (2 men I absolutely deplore) and already knew this would be an auto-skip for me, lol.

@jjwong Yes — and the amazing part is that Jacky still came through loud and clear even though there were problems with his microphone, which actually didn’t start working until near the end of the song (Joey’s opening show was actually plagued with problems, from the audio equipment not working properly to parts of the stage malfunctioning)....honestly, how many artists nowadays are still able to pull off that level of performance when the main piece of equipment you rely on malfunctions? None other than the God of Songs of course! LOL...no problem with the tickets! Though of course, the only thing is IF Jacky is going to hold another concert tour....he said after this past tour that his next project will likely be a musical, which I’m totally fine with as long as he tours outside of HK like he did with Snow Wolf Lake, lol....but he also said it’s in the “10 strokes not even 1 stroke” phase so we’ll see... :-)
