Chow Yun Fat: “It’s Time for Bosco Wong”

Chow Yun Fat (周潤發) has been closely watching Bosco Wong’s (黃宗澤) career, expressing that he believes it is time for Bosco to shine.

In an interview conducted in Beijing, Chow Yun Fat revealed his thoughts about TVB, the station where he first debuted as an actor in the 1970s. He has been closely following the productions of TVB, asserting that he would usually try staying up at night to watch TVB’s prime time dramas if time allows.

On which stars Chow Yun Fat believes that the audience should watch out for, he immediately named Moses Chan (陳豪), Vincent Wong ( 王浩信), and Raymond Wong (黃浩然). He also said,  “Bobby Au Yeung (歐陽震華) has already become a legend… and Bosco Wong (黃宗澤). It’s about time for him to move out [of TVB]. Michael Tse (謝天華) has already moved out. There actually aren’t many [TVB] siu sangs nowadays.”

Chow Yun Fat, who debuted as a TVB television actor, added that it is not an easy task to move from television to film. “These things require a lot of time to adjust, especially when you’ve been in the television industry for a really long time.”

As long as there is a good script with a good schedule, Chow Yun Fat said he would be glad to return to TVB to film a television drama. Although there are still many challenges that the Hong Kong television industry has to face due to its limited market, Chow Yun Fat will continue to support TVB in the future.

Still Interested in Hollywood 

Chow Yun Fat has starred in numerous international Hollywood films through the years, including Anna and the KingBulletproof Monk, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, but in the last few years, Chow Yun Fat retreated from the Hollywood scene to star in lesser-scale films. This weekend, Chow Yun Fat’s two Hong Kong films, The Monkey King <西遊記之大鬧天宮> and From Vegas to Macau <賭城風雲>, will be competing each other at the box office. 

Despite his break from the global scene, Chow Yun Fat is still interested in filming for Hollywood when the opportunity arises. “You’re always learning something and going through new experiences with different people. Filming for [Hollywood] has been quite unforgettable because you get to see the differences in production. I benefit from these experiences every time.”

Though Chow Yun Fat has lived in the United States and mainland China for some time in the past, his permanent home had always been in Hong Kong. “If grew up here. I am used to the food and lifestyle. The only time when I go to the mainland or the United States is when I’m working.”

Currently 58 years old, Chow Yun Fat said he has no desire to retire. He said, “If there is a day when I will forget my dialogue and impede everyone’s schedule, then I will stop acting.”

  1. Yahh I agree with Fat Gor. I’ve just completed Coffee Cat Mama Bosco is very good to watch. Get out of TVB already man, TVB is mostly like some cheapo high school play with guaranteed TVB staple audiences, movies will give him more challenge to grow up!

    1. Agreed. I do see that Bosco has potential to become a TV Series to film actor, but I sort of doubt he would go to the film industry since he needs to manage his Oyster restaurant business and his got so many properties already. A bit too much for him to handle!

  2. Wow, Vincent Wong ( 王浩信) must be honoured to be named by Chow Yun Fat. He noticed those TVB actors with good acting. Vincent will be thrilled when he reads this article (or listens to Chow Yun Fat’s interview). I agree that even Vincent is only a supporting actor, his acting is good vs. those 1st lead actors. He should highly be promoted by TVB to act 1st lead roles.

    1. Agree with you Sandcherry Vincent should be promoted to first lead soon and he is blessed that Chow Yun Fat notice him and told reporters his name.

      1. Best wishes to Vincent Wong in his future acting career in TVB! He surely is a good actor ……. very versatile and well-rounded.

  3. Highly agree that Bosco has potential to develop even further.

  4. After reading the on.cc source I found that this article missed Steven Ma and has no Michael Tse. What did he actually said in the video? Has Steven or not?

    發哥又論盡無綫多位當家小生,表示睇好陳豪、馬浚偉、黃宗澤(Bosco)、Bobby(歐陽震華)及黃浩然等,更點名力讚Bosco有望今年彈出:「嗰個阿澤(黃宗澤)都係時候出嚟啦!TVB剩番小生唔係咁多,喺電視係要好長時間浸淫架!」而發嫂則力撐被掌摑出位的「飛躍男」王浩信。

    Bosco and Vincent has promising future due to their good looks and prime age. The others are pretty much already old.

    1. just saw this! steven is much better than laughing gor who disappeared after leaving tvb! at least steven has a few grand productions in mainland and invest his own production! and michael? what job he has after leaving tvb? 😛

      1. A concert with Ekin and others. Do a Chinese series. Having invitations to do some movies. That’s wat Micheal is doing FYI.

    2. Right. Steven Ma’s name was mentioned in the original Chinese source, but Michael Tse’s name was not mentioned.

      I hope Jayne’s translators will be more accurate in translating their articles in future.

      1. Agreed, Fat Gor mentioned Michael Tse but did not mention Steven Ma in the video. So, the source article is wrong and Addy is right and did her homework well. Thanks, Addy!!!

      2. Thanks. That means Chow Yun Fat mentioned Bosco, Bincent, RW, Bobby, Moses and Michael. I think the On.cc article accidentally swapped Steven’s name for Michael. It must be awkward if Steven and Fatt Gor if they read the article.

  5. I agree with Vincent, Raymond Wong and Bosco. Both of them are versatile (:

    As for Moses, he’s okay..

  6. Bosco is def one of the few better actors of his generation in the company….honestly he’s too talented but I have a feeling he won’t leave the company. He enjoys the filming environment in HK, he’s also filming for Mainland and films. You can tell he actually has a passion for what he does, it’s a shame he’s underrated compared to the other actors in his generation but it’s nice to know he’s recognized for his talent.

  7. “Bosco Wong (黃宗澤). It’s about time for him to move out [of TVB].”

    No-no-no, Fat Gor!!! Please don’t tell them to move “completely” out of TV dramas. I still want to see them on TV. They can do both film and TV dramas. haha 🙂

    1. Agree I want Bosco to have a better future but I want to see him in series too.

    2. He can still be in movies and act in series. I have noticed many veteran actors who used to act in movies when they were younger go back to series. I am sure if Bosco stays in the circle then he will definitely continue to film series.

  8. Agree with Fatt Gor. Bosco was great as Cripple Co in LoO!

  9. I believe that Bosco does acting as a passion instead of using it as his source of earning money. He have a business mind and ventures out like opening his own business and buying properties. Therefore he is comfortable with filming for tvb and some mainland dramas. His goal is not to keep filming just to get an award (although that would be good) He is an actor who is well balanced.

  10. Bosco looks great in the above pic. I would like to see him in good films with louis koo, nick cheung and Andy lau.

  11. CYF is a tvb fan. he’s like of those housewives when he’s not working.

    IT HAS NEVER BEEN BOSCO TIME AND WILL NEVER BE.

    1) bad looking compared to korean, taiwanese, and mainland chinese stars
    2) average actor at best
    3) bad singer
    4) getting older…
    5) has grey hair..j/k

    This is the same CYF who said Sammy Shum has great potential…

    WHO IS PAYING HIM TO SAY ALL OF THESE CRAP?! TVB!

    1. agree donkeykong i also suspect that tvb paid chow yun fat to say all these stuff to make tvb look good! face it i respect chow but recent years his movies no longer box office hits after his failure in hollywood which forced him to come back to mainland and hk so it’s sad that now he’s affiliated with tvb and try to make tvb look good. come on look at the ratings of coffee cat don’t even reach 30 point!

      i rather take wong jing opinion because at least that guy makes sense and looks at current audience choice trend and who are the current tvb stars! wong jing believes that ma ming is the tvb siu sang that will be successful to be movie star! fully support!

      1. Sorry but Wong Jing’s films is heavily based on sex appeal that’s some cheap semi porno, he hasn’t made a good film for over 10 years besides he said he doesn’t care about reviews of his movies rather than the profit….not really a guy to reference for acting abilities at all.

      2. @bobby and chow is no better. he’s an actor not a director or producer! what makes him think he know who is great or not!

        wong jing’s opinion as a producer and director sure has more credibility and don’t bring his movies here! wong jing know that ma ming has the audience fate with his acting and that’s why audience love him a lot!

      3. Wong Jing’s films is heavily based on sex appeal ………… agree.

      4. Lol you’re hilarious, so just because he’s an actor he can’t tell who can act or not? Even as audiences we can tell like you praising Kenneth is great while degrading Bosco, you’re judging as well at least Chow Yun Fat has a better expertise than you do. Honestly if Wong Jing were to praise Bosco instead of Kenneth and CYF did the opposite of that you would of switched roles and say how WJ is wrong this and that.

        Yeah the audiences loves him because they want to see him as a future category 3 star…those will sure get him the attention the audience wants at least that’s what you’re suggesting.

      5. of course it’s hilarious…IT’S CYF…

        he killed his credibility once MADE BULLETPROOF MONK…for the money…

        sorry, THAT’S HILARIOUS…

        JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A GREAT ACTOR DOESN’T MEAN U ARE A GREAT TALENT EVALUATOR…

        MICHAL JORDAN IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER…BUT HE’S THE WORST GENERAL MANAGER IN THE NBA…

        u havent heard, people from the outside have a clearer picture…

      6. Every actor had a bad movie at least he didn’t made half of his movies a flop like WJ did.

        And Michael Jordon is definitely not the best Basketball player ever, he’s just the most well known. It’s like saying Jackie Chan is the best martial arts performer ever.

      7. ONCE YOU SAID MICHAEL JORDAN IS NOT THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER…U LOST ALL CREDIBILITY…SO WHO’S THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER?

        THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS
        THE CORRUPTOR
        ANNA AND THE KING…

        THERE U GO 3 MORE…I JUST PICK THE AMERICAN MOVIES…LOL

      8. Fat Gor is a veteran actor so his opinion should mean so partying, I bet if he praised Kenneth or someone Selfiwu liked,she would praise Fat Gor like a god.

      9. Actually I am surprised that Kenneth Ma will film Wong Jing’s movies. It may spoil (or ruin) his good-man image.

      10. Saying Michael Jordon is the best basketball player you’ve obviously lost a lot of respect there. Don’t speak of things you have no knowledge of. Wilt Chamberlain can take MJ any day.

        Like I said every artiste had bad projects but it doesn’t mean he’s not a good actor. Many artiste are really talented but they choose to be a part of really bad movies. There is a difference between talent and ability.

      11. Meant to say should mean something. Gosh, I hate how thus stupid iPad automatically replaces words that make no sense when we make a typo.

      12. Michael Jordon is just a symbol of one of many America’s well known sports player but it doesn’t necessarily means he’s the best one, who is the best? Which is why it’s safe not to label someone in that term.

        I don’t care how many movies you thought he did bad in, every actor been through that stage including your idols

      13. donkeykong is right chow yun fat is merely an actor and not a talent scout! that’s why either he’s bias against certain people or who knows maybe got incentive from tvb to praise their own actor? 😛

      14. @sandcherry ma ming filmed jackie chan’s movie not wong jing at least as of now but ma ming indeed said he will make more movies starting this year! great choice since he’s already wonderful and famous and loved by audience! it doesn’t mean wong jing movies!

        you should look at the clips and footage from a time of love ma ming look swooning like prince charming and really handsome! not surprising if charmaine really did fell for him like the rumour said!

      15. Wong Jing also said that his favorite girl Kimmy will be a big movie star. Lolz, tat’s how movie star means to Wong Jing.

        And you shouldn’t forget the fact that your Ma Ming is only a supporting in a low-budgeted movie. Is tat movie out? I heard nothing about it.

      16. @selfiwu: Wow…so just because Fat Gor didn’t praise your idols, you’re ‘dissing’ him and saying he has no right to give his opinion on who he feels has talent? Or are you just pissed that he praised someone you hate with a passion (Bosco)?

        Fat Gor may not be a director or producer, but his status in the HK entertainment industry is unquestionable and his opinions matter more than anything anyone else in the industry says. Like it or not, that’s reality — so have some respect and stop spurting your hate on people when it’s unwarranted!!

    2. really shame if chow only saying all this stuff about bosco, raymond wong etc to lick tvb’s boot!

      1. Why would he need to lick TVB’s boot? Please watch your mouth! Fat Gor is now an international star so why would he need to do that? Just because he praises someone you gate, you attack hi m like that. I bet if he praise people that you liked, you would bow down to him.

      2. @HTS: I guess selfiwu either doesn’t know or doesn’t remember that Fat Gor praised one of selfiwu’s idols, Myolie Wu, in the past as well, saying that she’s a good, hardworking actress and he wouldn’t mind working with her again. So since Fat Gor’s words have no credibility according to selfiwu and so his ‘praise’ shouldn’t count, then I guess that means Myolie is a horrible actress and it’s a shame that Fat Gor wants to work with her again.

      3. @selfiwu: Oh, and by the way, please do your homework before you speak garbage in these forums because you’re just making yourself look like a fool. Anyone who even remotely follows HK entertainment news knows what kind of affinity Chow Yun Fat still has for TVB and that he always says nice things about them — so the fact that anyone would suggest TVB paying him off is absolutely ludicrous. And why does he have to lick TVB’s boot? Do you even know what you’re talking about? If so, please back up your comment with an argument that makes sense. Or are you just piggy-backing off of someone else’s comment and don’t have an opinion of your own?

        If Fat Gor really cared about licking TVB’s boot, he wouldn’t have supported giving TV licenses to the other stations. Back when the whole TV license thing was at its height, he also said good things about the other TV stations supported them getting licenses (he even praised Ricky Wong for having the heart to invest so much money in the television industry)….not only that, he also criticized the government for the way they handled the matter — all of this is opposite of TVB’s stance on the matter and by saying everything he did, he was essentially going against TVB.

        So basically — explain to me how Chow Yun Fat praising TVB’s artists is considered ‘bootlicking’ or being ‘paid off’ to do it.

    3. laughable about michael laughing gor who don’t appear in anything and quiet down after leaving tvb when laughing fever over. has no job? even raymond lam movies mostly flop or bad reviews from professionals making him fail as an actor and stays as an idol and full time career as karena’s boyfriend 😛

      1. Oh then you should check for your fact first. Micheal Tse has quite a lot of jobs to do as I replied you above. As for LF, his newest movie Baby Blues is one of most successful horror Chinese movie, haha, flop your face. Bad reviews from professionals, prove that if you can.

    4. Hmm I beg to differ, Bosco is a pretty versatile actor. A majority of his roles he did pretty well, singing? He’s alright nothing great but not terrible besides a majority of those who sings in TVB are a joke. I actually think Bosco seems to more good looking as he ages compare to Ron, Kenneth and Raymond anyways;especially Ron that guy look like he hasn’t slept in 10 years, shame though he was considered one of the good looking ones but the time has passed for him.

      No one is paying anyone anything, your opinion seems a bit biased though.

      1. Well said Teecee! We all know how Selfiwu is so it is not a shock how overly bias she is. She over praises the people she likes but repeatedly blasts the ones that she hates. Now she even blasts anyone who praises the ones that she hates.

      2. As much as I dislike Ron’s acting, I was told that Ron will age better than Bosco. Ron has a better face shape that will probably accomodate for the huge increases in weight as a person ages. But time will tell and we will see if its true.

    5. I personally think Sammy Shum is a pretty good actor as well.

      1. we will see when he actually gets a starring role other than a porn movie…

      2. He is an actor who can play both villain roles and good character roles.

    6. Hey Teecee…

      how many championships does Wilt have? 1

      how many does jordan have? 6, potentially 8 if he didnt retire between years….

      who has the highest scoring average? Jordan

      Wilt Chamberlain…PLEASE GOOGLE OR GO TO ESPN AND READ A LITTLE BIT MORE…

      I GUARANTEE AMERICA AGREES WITH ME WHOLEHEARTEDLY COMPARED TO YOU…WILT CHAMBERNIZEE…

      1. Championships don’t mean anything….Taylor Swift won about 20 Grammys’ does that mean she’s a better singer than The Beatles or Led Zepplin who won less than that?

        I think I made my point.

      2. @teecee
        OMG your taylor swift example! definitely agree here!! both on mj and ts

  12. fat gor is right,i think bosco can be fatgor’s successor.bosco’s acting is versatile plus he got the looks,its rare nowadays to see that combination.
    the movie world need some new blood,so its time to leave for bosco.

    1. Did Chow Yun Fat pay you to say this?! lol

      How long has Bosco been in the hk industry? 13 years? I guess

      How many movies have he been a STAR/lead actor?! I BELIEVE IT’S 1 OR 2…any accolades? NONE

      I bet HE MUST BE A HIDDEN TREASURE FOR THE LAST 13 YEARS…the only person that knows that is TVB? The people who run TVB today are not the TVB people who discovered the lights of Tony Leung, Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung, Stephen Chow, etc…

      the last superstar to leave TVB is Louis Koo….SINCE THEN…THEY DONT HAVE ONE EVEN RAYMOND LAM…his movies are poisoned…

      1. agree with donkeykong!! some commenters here sounds like they are paid by chow yun fat who sounds like he’s paid by tvb! so funny!

        raymond lam as movie poison? maybe since he is a joke in the movie industry and become a worse joke after changing his main career to dating karena ng.

        and this is unfair! addy must be a bosco diehard fan. why no translation of article of wong jing saying ma ming is the upcoming movie star a few weeks ago! wong jing is a producer who helped many big stars todays before! he knows better!

      2. But film industries really need new blood. We always see Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Sean Lau, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Louis Koo, and Nick Cheung in movies. All these actors are in their early 50s except Kouis Koo (43) and Nick Cheung (46). The only young actor in Hong Kong seems to be Nicholas Tse.

      3. ^ Don’t forget Shawn Yue, it’s true though every huge production films in HK at least 3 of those actors are involved.

      4. @sandcherry

        hey i love to see new people too BUT THERE IS A REASON THOSE DUDES U LISTED ABOVE ARE STILL AROUND…THEY ARE STILL IN HIGH DEMAND…WHY DO YOU THINK THEIR MOVIES DO SO WELL IN MAINLAND CHINA/HK WHEN THEY ARE RELEASED?!

        the young crop of talent SUCK in hk…they are trying to promote people who can’t speak their language in tvb series…not helping in the acting criteria…

      5. What will happen to the film industries 10 or 15 years from now? All the above actors will be too old to act siu sangs’ roles.

      6. communist china actors will take over the industry…tvb actors will run to canada or america

        HAVEN’T U SEEN THE TREND? WHO’S FUNDING ALL THE BIG-BUDGET CHINESE MOVIES? MAINLAND CHINA.

      7. The problem is HK doesn’t have a really huge market, they’re recycling ideas and actors. There is just not enough actors in HK. A majority of HK actors had no previous educational acting credibility they only got better for being in the industry for over 20 years.

      8. chow Yun Fat has plenty of money so does he even need TVB’s low pay? DonkeyKong and Selfiwu, you are both die hard haters of Bosco. Why come here and comment soooo much if you hate him? You both have way too much time that you must spend it on someone you hate so much. Why not find something better to do.

      9. Sad. Isn’t it?

        Perhaps the Mainland Chinese actors will learn how to speak Cantonese to film Hong Kong movies. Or their voices will be dubbed to meet the needs of Hongkongers.

      10. @Teecee

        cannot agree anymore…Central Academy of Arts…Beijing Academy…

        TVB got those generic acting courses for dummies that Eliza Sam took…or did she? lol…she is a cutie though…

      11. eliza sam is a joke! so fast rising to female lead without acting skills! might as well put a cute blowup puppet over there if just want to sell her chubby ‘cute’ face and acting goofy all over the screen! really unfair for actresses like nancy!

      12. Eliza is definitely not a bad actor, she’s getting there. Nancy is better off supporting, she can act sure but she doesn’t possess that leading star ability.

      13. I personally think that if Gloria Tang does well in her first drama, she will also be promoted along with Jacqueline, Tracy, Eliza, etc.

        I do hope to see more of Rebecca’s acting. I really like her in Always and Ever!

      14. rebecca is also a joke. still no improvement and bad cantonese after so many series and so promoted. she was so bad in silver spoon and brought down along poor ma ming and ron who had to compensate for her!

      15. TVB seems to promote every Beauty Pageant winner these days. There will be tough competitions soon: Eliza Sam, Rebecca Zhu, Christine Kuo, Tracy Chu, Jacqueline (Wong?), Gloria Tang, Grace Chan, etc., etc.

      16. I don’t mind TVB promoting Tracy, Jacqueline..

        Grace Chan and Sisley are likely be the ones that will also be promoted..

      17. It is good to see so many new and pretty faces as long as they are not placed in heavy heavy roles. I think they should at least take some short acting training courses before they are cast.

      18. Yep I agree.
        There also needs to be a balance of the second-line actresses (Mandy, Nancy, Sharon, etc.) with the First-line and the new people as well.

      19. eliza is the only one that really has been promoted heavily by tvb thus far. i think tracey chu,grace chan and sisley choi also has a good chance to be tvb’s new-generation top fadan.compare to the tvb’s young siu san there is not really much talent that i can say wow here is the new louis ko or andy lau.

      20. starring in a movie doesnt necessarily prove that youre a great actor/actress–>stephy tang, janice man, etc

  13. Jayne why don’t you use the source picture? IT looks better and yo keep re useing the same Bosco picture.

  14. Bosco acted best as Cripple Co in “Lives of Omission”. I wish he could have a stronger voice (like Ruco Chan’s). As a matter of fact, I like Bosco’s acting, but don’t like his voice …… too soft.

    1. I agree. Bosco’s cripple Co was award worthy. Too bad he hardly got any buzz during award time.

  15. Agreed even tho i will miss him if he leaves TVB 🙁
    ….but won’t he at some point since he has an oyster restaurant now?

  16. Why is it in almost every Bosco article there is so much hate and arguments….I wonder what’s the problem lol

    1. The problem is ……… Bosco’s breakup with Myolie, and these haters are Myolie’s diehard fans.

    2. don’t drag innocent stars like myolie into this! everyone is up to each her own opinion and nothing to do with other artiste! if you can like others can dislike!

      1. Okay, okay. You are right. Everyone can have his/her opinions.

        I was attacked by some nasty readers some day sago, so I respect you too. He he …….

      2. Selfiwu,
        You really need to follow your own advice of everyone having their own opinion. YOu say that but yet cannot do it.. Sad isn’t it???

      3. Look at yourself before talking too loudly, selfiwu. You usually drag innocent stars in, bash artists you don’t like. You can hate others can like, rmb tat, too.

      4. @selfiwu: If you have a differing opinion and are able to back it up with a logical argument that makes sense, then of course we will respect it. But if you’re going to act like a troll by spewing hateful, generalized nonsense with no logical argument backing you up, then why should we respect your opinion? There’s no point trying to have a rational conversation with irrational people….

    3. It seems like it’s just 2 people that keep on repeating the same thing, rather than a lot of people hating on Bosco… lol

      1. @AC: Yup…it actually boils down to the same die-hard Myolie fan posting a gazillion hate messages on Bosco that essentially all say the same thing. I bet if you guys filter out that user and ignore all her comments, you’ll see that there are very few Bosco haters commenting in this thread….

  17. why are there so many mean and hateful comments now….? o___O

      1. Fox,
        You’re not different from the other “losers”. I can also see that you sometimes replying with some hateful comments.

        By the way, why doesn’t Fat Gor mention your lovely Raymond lam? Because the fact is Bosco>Raymond. Any comments?

        About your baby blues comment, I found this article:
        http://stcommunities.straitstimes.com/2013/11/07/movie-review-baby-blues

        Maybe this movie should win best film in HKFA and LF should get the best actor award? Lolz 😛

      2. @Nyn,
        Hi5, good one!!! Both are crazy die-hard fans.

        Can’t believe Fox’s biased comment (way up above)…

        “As for LF, his newest movie Baby Blues is one of most successful horror Chinese movie, haha, flop your face. Bad reviews from professionals, prove that if you can.”

      3. Nothing. Even if Fat Gor disses LF to praise Bosco or anyone else, its his opinion and nothing to jump up with it.

        I know you cant understand tat because you have to fight against me as I dont like your precious Ma Ming. Tat’s wat I call a sore loser. Selfiwu is also one, as she bashed Fat Gor just because he praised Bosco without mentioning a word to Ma Ming. LMAO, wat’s up with you guys? I still suggest you to write blood letter to tell everyone to say something about Ma Ming.

        You guys cant accept your precious Ma Ming is bashed? Then perhaps you should be hypocrite more to stop bashing any artist (specially point Nyn and MW). I wont be tat hypocrite so sorry, I dun join with you.

        If you wanna track the box office of Baby Blues to see it topped the chart of horror Chinese movies, feel free to find. Lolz, I know you will feel hurt.

        Anyway, have some good days. Pls keep in heart tat your precious Ma Ming is not god. Stop making him like untouchable.

      4. As for your link, can you show me where is “professional review”? Look up and you will see “Reader Review” in the header.

        Moreover, where criticize LF’s acting as selfiwu said?

        Lolz, try harder next time. And read more carefully to find more sufficient POV.

      5. In which article did I say I am ma ming’s fans or did I defend him? Get a life.

        Oh and even funnier how you say you would do nothing when someone bashes your precious Raymond, but you go on to write a whole essay doing just the opposite. Pathetic is a compliment for you.

        Sfw is a hardcore crazy fan and hater but you are the same. That’s why I said pot (u) meet kettle (sfw). Match made in heaven. There’s the saying in Cantonese “words with bones”, that’s your specialty. Sfw just comes out bashing like a crazy person. Can’t figure out which is worst because both arè just as pathetic to me. But YOU (fox) pretend to be fair and have sense when you do pretty much the same thing. PATHETIC

      6. Lolz, after reading your essay, I will say that you are cute, Nyn. The type of pathetically cute that I would pinch cheek to say: “Oh this dumb girl”.

        Glad to see you and your soul mate MW here. If I’m pot and sfw is my kettle, you also have a twin sister. Both of you are showing pathetically your maturity.

        And I don’t have to pretend to have sense, because I make sense with my “words with bones” :). No, I don’t act fair, I admit I’m biased. Can you do the same or stay as a hypocrite?

        Anyway, with pleasure, I wish you a good day.

  18. Seriously, why is everyone taking CYF so seriously? He mentions a few names and everyone goes into a frenzy. He is entitled to his opinion like everyone else; his opinion doesn’t represent the general audience. So what if he thinks those guys he mentioned are the ones to watch out for? It doesnt mean others have to agree with him. There are some of those he mentioned whose acting don’t appeal to me at all.

  19. Enjoyed Coffee Cat Mama with the cast members suchas Bosco, Raymond and Eliza. Coincidentally these 2 leading actors are being mentioned by Fat Gor too. Though the drama a bit silly but I think it entertaining.

  20. What did CYF say that was really wrong? I think everyone will agree that the only way for any actor at TVB to grow is to leave TVB behind.

    1. ^
      Very well said. I don’t think anyone can find argument with that.

  21. I support fox for the blunt comments at most times mostly against the harsh thoughtless comments coming from selfiwu. I believe it is because ppl can no longer stand the ‘hater’ vibes triggered by her 1 sided comments. I am always in agreement wt fox as the counter explanation towards selfiwu made a lot of sense and is exactly what I woud say. It is apparent tht selfiwu hate bosco, love myolie and ma ming. So paranoid but still continue to hate consistently.

    1. Thks.

      Btw, I still think selfiwu actually doesn’t like Myolie. She uses Myolie in disguise to her hatred toward Bosco.

  22. Chow Yun Fat is no god. Bosco leave TVB to do what. Has anyone in the movie industry offer him anything.

  23. all the people who said “PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT BOSCO WONG”…SHUT THE HELL UP!!! why the hell do we need to agree with you?? he’s just a marginal star…his resume speaks for himself…

    It’s like people dislike him personally…I DONT KNOW THE GUY…

    all i know is that he’s MADE FOR TVB…he aint no movie actor OR singer….STICK TO WHAT YOU ARE GOOD…IF HE WAS THAT GOOD…HE WOULDN’T NEED CYF TO VERIFY THAT HE’S GOOD…THE DUDE HAS BEEN AROUND 13 YEARS…

    CHOW YUN FAT IS THE SAME GUY WHO MADE BULLETPROOF MONK???!!! I’m not gonna listen to him…the guy hasn’t had a relevant movie since Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and that’s because Ang Lee…

    1. All of the people that hate Bosco also need to shut the hell up!

      1. HETIESHOU, I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU A HUNDRED THUMBS UP!!!. What the heck, here’s to a thousand thumbs up for HeTieShou.

    2. I have no opinion on the topic. But I can already tell you have issues that you have to deal with. Best of luck too you.

    3. Eh. A lot of good actors/filmmakers have unflattering resumes. Just look at the United States. Some of the absolute best actors are on cable television over here. But they can’t seem to branch out into bigger roles. Many movie stars can’t act in the US. They’re just good-looking. And it does mean something to be praised and respected by a peer. In Britain and US, being praised by a legend in their craft is an honor. It’s great. Many talented actors just take roles for the paycheck. So that argument doesn’t really hold. Hell, Ang Lee made the Incredible Hulk movie. I’m sure if you think hard enough, you can come up with at least a few more. That’s the life of an actor or filmmaker. That’s the business.

      Obviously, DonkeyKong, you have a clouded judgement, which you will clearly deny and get offended. And then you’ll rant in all capital letters. Try to put things into perspective.

    4. And you haven’t made a relevant opinion for the past comments you made on this article….clearly you have a problem accepting certain artistes that had a low point in their career.

      Btw I don’t think a majority of us suddenly realized that Bosco is a talented actor, we already knew that prior to Chow Yun Fat’s comments we just simply agree with his opinion.

      1. @Jstorch

        A hundred thumbs up. I could not agree with you more. VERY well said.

  24. With all due respect to Addy, writer):not to nitpick but our interpretations of the passage below are so different that we have a completely different take on its meaning.

    Jaynestars
    “And Bosco Wong (黃宗澤). It’s about time for him to move out [of TVB]…There actually aren’t many [TVB] siu sangs nowadays.”

    Chow Yun Fat, who debuted as a TVB television actor, added that it is not an easy task to move from television to film. “These things require a lot of time to adjust, especially when you’ve been in the television industry for a really long time.”

    I would translate 出嚟 as “move ahead / pull ahead /to emerge/ to come out [of the pack in TVB]” instead of “move out [of TVB]”

    Given Fat gor’s tact, he would never ever so blatantly and publicly urge a tvb actor to leave tvb, period.

    My translation of the original sentence (below) vs Jaynestars’.

    And Bosco, it’s time for him to lead / emerge (to move ahead/pull ahead of the pack). TVB’s remaining siu sangs aren’t that many anyway. True, (one) has to soak/steep/stew for a long time in television.”

    “嗰個阿澤(黃宗澤)都係時候出嚟啦!TVB剩番小生唔係咁多,喺電視係要好長時間浸淫架!”

    1. The original says nothing about “Chow Yun Fat, who debuted as a TVB television[..]for a really long time.”.

  25. really admire Fat Goh! he is such a down to earth celebrity! and love that he will always identify Hong Kong as his home. if tvb has a good script (which i highly doubt) hope he can come back to act!

  26. Maybe Fat Gor is right. But then his movies in Hollywood were not very appealing. They were not the greatest box office. He’s not very successful in making name in the US. Jet Li fares better than him.

    1. You know why? It is because Chow Yun Fat is not a marital arts actor. It seems that only Chinese martial arts (or Koon Fu) actors are sales-box actors in Hollywood. Jet Li, Jacky Chan, Donnie Yen, Hung Kam-Bo, etc. are all martial arts actors. Or we should say that only artistes, who are good in martial arts, could get popular in U.S.A.

      1. Agree with sandcherry. The whole Hollywood craze with martial arts goes back to the Bruce Lee days and unfortunately, as much as we may not like it, that has been the ‘stereotype’ that Hollywood continues to have towards Chinese actors. Sure, close to none of Fat Gor’s Hollywood movies were appealing, but at the very least, he did try to ‘branch out’ and make different genres of films (i.e. Anna and the King, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.) instead of purely sticking with action movies or the traditional martial arts — for that, I give him credit.

        And I completely disagree with one of the posters above who tried to claim that Fat Gor has no credibility or is a bad actor just because none of his Hollywood movies ‘made it’ in Hollywood. Fat Gor is a HK actor first and foremost, so to me, his HK movies are truly the ‘defining’ movies of his career. Besides, every actor has their career highs and lows — it’s a natural occurrence in the industry and it’s not necessarily a reflection of their acting. It’s impossible to expect every single actor to have 100% flawless career and not make a single ‘bad’ movie or series — that doesn’t happen in the real world, which leads me to wonder what those people are thinking (the ones who claim that someone is a bad actor just because they had a handful of works that flopped, despite the fact that the large majority of their works were successes).

  27. No matter if he’s praising the right people. . I stopped reading when he said Moses.

    1. Same with me, CYF is free to say his mind, but putting Moses and Michael Tse in the list among his top favourites brings his credibility as a talent or acting reviewer down.

      I take it that CYF haven’t watched any of Ruco’s work yet, or else Moses won’t be there.

  28. CYF is right about Bosco Wong but I think TVB should have recruited Harry Shum Jr. instead. He was in the Fox television show Glee & was also in the original ipod commercial. Furthermore, he was the backup dancer for many American singers such as Beyonce,mariah carey, and etc. Just check out his youtube video and decide for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1in9CMhcNeo

    1. Harry Shum Jr’s parents were from Hong Kong and he was born in Costa Rica and raised in San Francisco. He is very handsome, tall, and speak English, Cantonese and Spanish. he would be perfect for TVB. Just google Harry Shum Jr. and see for yourself.

  29. I THINK THAT CHOW YUN FAT WOULD AGREE TO COME BACK TO TVB TO DO A TV SHOW HE IS QUITE GOOD AT ACTING OF MOVIE SHOWS
