Myolie Wu to Replace Sheren Tang in “Rosy Business 3”?

Onscreen golden couple, Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) and Sheren Tang (鄧萃雯), may not be reuniting for the third time in Rosy Business 3 <巾幗梟雄 3>. Due to her rumored diva behaviour and difficult demands, Sheren reportedly was ousted from Rosy Business 3 and replaced by last year’s TV Queen, Myolie Wu (胡杏兒).

At an earlier interview, Wayne confirmed that he will film for the third installment of the popular drama in March 2013, but also revealed that Sheren still had reservations in returning to Rosy Business 3.

Rosy Business 3″ to Combat Television Wars

As the Hong Kong government will be approving new station, CTI, its broadcasting license next year, TVB has been preparing ammunition for the upcoming television wars. Aside from inviting Eric Tsang (曾志偉) and Wong Jing (王晶) to produce blockbuster dramas, TVB has also convinced producer Lee Tim Shing (李添勝) to halt his retirement plan.

Famed scriptwriter Cheung Wah Biu (張華標) will also return to TVB to work with Tim Gor on the third installment of Rosy Business.

Catherine Tsang Infuriated by Sheren’s Diva Behavior? 

Although a key character in the Rosy Business franchise, Sheren Tang’s name was shockingly dropped from the third installment. Since filming War and Beauty <金枝慾孽> and Rosy Business, Sheren’s popularity soared and she has many filming opportunities in mainland China.

TVB had offered Sheren three times her salary to film for the company, but Sheren reportedly became egoistic and has grand expectations.

As Sheren still has a per-series contract, TVB reportedly has been trying to renew her contract. However, Sheren’s difficult demands may have deterred TVB management. Sheren reportedly demanded to film only in blockbuster dramas and even requested to clinch a Best Actress award. While filming for No Regrets <巾帼枭雄之義海豪情>, Sheren specifically asked for Tim Gor to be the producer and even designated her preferred scriptwriter.

An insider revealed that TVB production head, Catherine Tsang was angered by Sheren’s diva behavior, thus replacing her with Myolie Wu in Rosy Business 3. “Catherine Tsang was enraged. She instructed to drop off Sheren and replace her with ‘obedient’ Myolie. The preliminary cast list of Rosy Business 3 excluded Sheren and included Catherine Tsang’s favorite artist,” the insider stated.

Earlier, Tim Gor also told the media, “I will be filming a drama in March next year. I have booked Wayne, but not Sheren.”

Wayne Lai is Not Disappointed

Although Sheren may not return for Rosy Business 3, Wayne is not disappointed. “It’s too early to talk about next year’s filming. We are not sure about the situation and the script. I can only say that both Myolie and Sheren are good actresses. If Tim Gor casts Myolie, it means she is more suitable for the role.”

Wayne indicated that he was not disappointed in being unable to work with Sheren. “It’s not as if we can’t work forever. We need to add in new actors. In No Regrets, there were many new actors collaborating together. I have no issues with this.”

  1. even if they were filming RB3, please please do not let go of sheren! she has the powerful independent vibe to her that makes up rosey business’s lead female actor!

  2. emmm….what is true and what’s not is only times will tell. Maybe all these are merely made up gimmick prior to the shooting of the drama.

    Of course all fans of Rosy Business & No Regrets will love to see Sheren & Wayne again because they were indeed very good, but if the pportunity does not arise this time around…something else will replace.

    More importantly, Wayne must continue with the 3rd installation…no matter what. I am sure he would be able to create different chemistry with others too. Trust him!

    Look forward to RB3!

    1. I don’t like her diva attitude. It’s plain for all to see. There are other ‘mature’ tvb veterans like Susanna Kwan Kuk Ying and Kara Hui, even Liza Wang to take the role.

    1. Myolie….emmm…really do not know what’s the outcome would be like. it’s really cannot imagine??!!! Wayne + Myolie = brother + sister lo….maybe that’s their intention?

    2. Male actors have it easy since no female actress is ever too young for them. Wayne was paired with Natalie Tong and Sire Ma in his last series, who are both younger than Myolie.

      1. How about Nancy Wu in “Forensic Heros 3”? She is the same age as Natalie Tong, and she acted Wayne’s wife with a kid of 9 years old.

      2. @sandcherry ooh, I forgot about Nancy. I actually thought they made a better couple and had more chemistry than Wayne and Maggie. So, I guess it’s not always about age?

  3. Btw, I love Sheren & Wayne in both! They somehow have a very special chemistry…i love them very much! 🙂

    1. Yes, their onscreen chemistry was good but Sheren IS getting a little too big in her head. She’s playing on that ‘chemistry and milking it for what it’s worth. After winning TV Queen for the second time, she had no hesitation in leaving TVB and even badmouth about the station. So much for gratitude and that award should have gone to Charmaine.

      1. Are you sure that Sheren Tang badmouthed about TVB? Show me some solid evidence. It could be over-exaggerated by the news media. Sheren is a very demanding person in terms of acting, but she is not a difficult person to get along, and she doesn’t like to exaggerate whatever is not true. She would just state the facts and not the gossips.

  4. no….of course sheren has right to demand.. you are not giving her the treatment she deserves.. asking her work for peanuts.. please
    [

  5. Well happens every where. Once you become a huge star / rise higher in your position, you will definitely demand for more. The ultimate outcome will depend on whoever gives in first.

  6. Sheren was offered three times her salary. Wow I wonder If Wayne was offered the same.

    1. nah wayne might have been offered the same i heard that he only get 30k a 1 ep which is the lowest earning tv king i think its because he has always been a low paid artist and everyone knows how the pay is with tvb

  7. There is no replacement for Sheren… if she’s not in the series, they’d be better off dropping it.

  8. There won’t be RB3 – said by Tim sir?

    I also hope for no RB3. RB is good, NR is good, but continue the chain won’t be a good idea at all.

    Myolie is under Tommy’s side, since when she is Catherine Tsang’s?

  9. I love Myolie Wu, but if she is casted instead of Sheren Tang, the series should NOT be marketed as RB3. For example you cannot call King Maker RB3 just because Wayne is in it!

  10. sheren looks surprisingly very sweet and young in the pic next to myolie. 😛

    1. Very true. Sheren looked pretty and sweet in this photo. Sheren’s smile was very natural, while Myolie’s smile was very fake.

  11. Oh please! This is the typical tabloid strategy of trying to ‘explain’ things when their stories are proven to be false. Just last week, the tabloids were reporting that producer Lee Tim Sing was going to film RB3, then when LTS denies it and says that he Oh please! This is the typical tabloid strategy of trying to ‘explain’ things when their stories are proven to be false. Just last week, the tabloids were reporting that producer Lee Tim Sing was going to film RB3, then when LTS denies it and says that he will be filming a new series, but it won’t be RB3, now the tabloids are trying ‘fix things’ by claiming that he intended to film RB3 but because he couldn’t get Sheren, he has to settle for Myolie instead.

    Sheesh! Why can’t the tabloids accept the fact that maybe LTS doesn’t want to film another installment of RB3? I mean, come on now — just because Wayne Lai is in the series doesn’t automatically make it a ‘sequel’ to RB!! Also, just because Sheren won’t be in the series, doesn’t mean she was “dropped” — especially if there was no intention to do RB3 in the first place.

    As for the so-called “insider” who claims that Sheren was dropped from this supposed ‘sequel’ due to her diva behavior…I’m willing to bet the ‘insider’ doesn’t exist — the whole thing was probably fabricated in order to get a ‘juicy story’. If you guys actually read the article carefully, there are alot of inconsistencies in it….obviously whoever wrote it doesn’t know what they’re talking about!

    Aiye! Another example of how far the tabloids will go to sell a story (and the sad thing is, there are actually people who believe the mis-information as though it’s the gospel truth)….

  12. Interesting, I like Sheren’s acting over Myolie… but you never know, she might suprised you…. But yes keep Wayne as the male lead!

    1. There is no comparison between Sheren’s acting and Myolie’s. Sheren’s is always the best and Myolie’s is way below par.

      Have no interest to watch RB3.

    2. If TVB wanted to replace Sheren with someone else because of Sheren’s demand, please do replace her with someone who can act, surely not our “so-called” TV Queen, Myolie Wu. Myolie just learned how to cry in “Ghetto Justice 2”, which is a basic part of acting skills. How can she replace Sheren then?

    1. Yeah, if Sheren is not in it, then it doesn’t make it “Rosy Business 3!” Myolie is so not suitable with Wayne and Sheren’s acting is WAY BETTER than Myolie! But I don’t believe the news anyways! =P

    2. haha, yeah Myolie seems like an intruder,a third party that does not match.

    1. but as a great actress with great value she has right to choose the best scripts and salaries

    2. Sheren Tang is a demanding actress, in terms of acting, script, and maybe producer, but NOT a TV Queen award. She was very happy when she got Best Support Actress Award last year in China.

      I think it was the media who over-exaggerated it.

  13. Man, Myolie really altered her jaw. In Golden Faith she was great and naturally cute but now everything looks like hard pressed sub par acting for her.

      1. Agreed. I use to be chubby when i was teen and now i’m in my 20 i loses all my baby fat n now i have a sharp chin.

  14. Wayne n Sheren is best of the best. No one can replace them for Rosy Business. I love Myolie but not too sure about this, but at this stage is all rumor right..

  15. Earlier, Tim Gor also told the media, “I will be filming a drama in March next year. I have booked Wayne, but not Sheren.”

    No mention of Myolie or even RB3…

    Anyway, since when does Myolie films for Tsang‘s side?

    1. I love Myolie but I hope this isn’t true! RB belongs to Sheren and Wayne. Is tvb on a mission to create crappy sequels? First GJ2 and Triumph2, and now RB3. If the reports are true and there is a new drama by Wayne and Myolie, then please do not call it RB3. What I want most is a actual ACOTOB sequel, with Myolie, Sunny, Ron, Shirley, Nancy and Mandy.

  16. “谈到女主角被换,李添胜指其实一开始就没想同时保留男女主角。“《巾帼3》不再男女鼎立,我想用新组合,胡杏儿一向演戏挺好的,但有些地方没人提点她,《巾帼3》我会帮她收一收,戏会靓很多。今次是我俩第一次合作,希望在我手中,杏儿有不一样的色彩,她很愿意及期待今次合作。”
    This is what Lee Tim Shing said about Myolie. “Myolie’s acting has always been pretty good, however, there are some areas where no one has ever advised her. I’ll help her hold back a little, so that her acting can be better. This is the first time we both work together, hope that in my hands, Myolie will show a different side of her, and she too is very willing and looking forward for this chance to work together.”

    Hope that Myolie can learn more acting methods from LTS and Wayne, so she can improve more!

    1. What does 鼎立 means? If Tim Gor really said that then I guess it’s true and I’m happy Tim Gor seems to think highly of Myolie 🙂

      1. Like in RB1 and RB2, the 2 main characters are Sheren and Wayne. The series are anchored by the two main characters. What he means is the male and female lead are the support pillars for the whole series in RB1 and RB2.
        However, in this series, it will be the story of Wayne+Myolie+Edwin Siu. I’m glad that Edwin is given the opportunity to move to first line.

        I only wish that he won’t call it RB3. I mean we don’t see Detective Columbus called RB3 just because Wayne is in the series. Pierre Ngo won’t be in the series either, for which I will miss him.

      2. I wish it can be Wayne+Sheren, Edwin+Myolie, Pierre+Nancy.

        If there is no Sheren, then do not call it RB3.

    2. With the help from LTS and Wayne Myolie might clinch a 2nd BA award with this romantic love series? LOL maybe.

    1. 謝霆鋒香港科技大學講座 (英文發音 中英文字幕)

  17. I still disagree about dropping Sheren Tang because it cannot be a sequel without her! Having said that, having Myolie Wu is a zillion times better than Christine Kuo!!!!

  18. I have a feeling Tim Gor only wants to use Wayne, Myolie and Edwin in his new drama but had no intention of calling it RB3, because just awhile ago he denied filming RB3. Most probably it’s tvb who insisted on calling it RB3 for publicity purposes. :/

    1. The true piece of this article:
      -Myolie will pair with Wayne (who will teach her about acting)
      -Producer is LTS (who will teach Myolie and give her a different role)
      -Series will film next year

      Others might be exaggerated as usual ROFL

      1. Agree with the above points. Myolie surely needs to polish her acting skills which are still very bland. Hope she will improve after working with Producer Lee Tim Sing and Wayne Lai.

  19. LTS confirmed that he’s using Wayne and Myolie in his romantic love drama in Feb. Edwin also in. LOL end of story.

  20. No more myolie please! Sick of seeing her everywhere. No doubt she acted in alot of shows in different role but i think its just stagnant. She’s not making any significant improvement.

    1. TVB is shaping Myolie to rise to Charmaine’s level. Wayne and LTS and the new tailor made role is to help her learn more acting LOL.

  21. I’m happy that Tim gor and Wayne think Myolie is a great actress and are willing to coach her to perfecting her acting. I’m looking forward for Myolie’s great improvement under the coaching of Tim gor and Wayne and can’t wait for her chemistry with Wayne and Edwin.

    1. If Myolie Wu’s acting was not that great, how did she manage to get her TV Queen award in 2011? Big joke!! She needs other people to coach her to improve her acting!!! A bigger joke!!!

      1. Most people learn of a phrase called “活到老,学到老”, when they are young, and it’s very applicable in real life. Nothing wrong with improving or learning to better yourself from people you work with, regardless of what your “status” is.

        So what do you want people to do? To stop learning? Stop improving? HAHA, big joke.

      2. At least she’s improving and strive to improve and get more variety roles unlike certain fadans who stayed stagnant.

      3. There is nothing wrong with “活到老,学到老”. In fact, this should apply to everyone of us. However, I am sure that Producer Lee Tim Sing would not make such comments “胡杏儿一向演戏挺好的,但有些地方没人提点她,《巾帼3》我会帮她收一收,戏会靓很多” on Sheren Tang’s acting.

      4. Then why do you call it a big joke, if she needs to improve her acting? Everyone needs to learn.
        If you are making fun of people learning, there’s something fundamentally wrong.

      5. Sheren is a veteran. Myolie is not.
        Even Charmaine have things to improve on when she won best actress. I don’t see the “big joke” about people improving.

      6. Sheren is a veteran of course she’s better! Myolie only started acting about 12-13 years ago!

      7. “Myolie only started acting about 12-13 years ago!” ………… 12 – 13 years of acting experience are considered quite long for an artiste. Nancy Wu only acted for 9 years, and I think her acting is a lot better than Myolie’s (my personal opinion only).

        If Myolie deserved to be TV Queen in 2011, there should be so many criticisms against her. Sheren Tang did not get any criticisms, nor Wayne Lai, for their awards.

      8. There were also many criticisms when CHarmaine got her award? Does it means she’s not a good actress now?

        Like I said, Sheren is a veteran.

      9. I haven’t heard of any criticisms from any producers on TVB’s TV King’s or TV Queen’s acting, and that was the first time I heard of such comments from a producer.

      10. That’s only because Myolie has to replace Sheren in RB3? Of course we all know Myolie’s acting is not as good as Sheren’s. Neither is Charmaine or most leading TVB actresses.
        Perhaps if Charmaine or someone else is to replace Sheren, we will hear similar comments from LTS?

      11. Suppose it’s easier to improve with coaching. So it means that if no one where to help, she will stagnate or even decline in her already mediocre acting skills, LOL

        From an interview, Ruco spends time watching movies of great artists so he can improve himself. If there were more artists like him TVB might be saved 🙂

      12. I thought the big joke was that she won for CotRH. That performance was reminiscent of the infamous “tai chi” gwing.

        But it’s good for LTS to give her constructive criticism. It will help her improve.

      13. Josie, I agree with you! Tell me again why she won? WHY?! Why in fact does the series exist?

      14. Indeed, people have different opinion of acting, and for them to find her acting in COTRH a big joke, it’s not a problem. However, Miss sandcherry also said this “She needs other people to coach her to improve her acting!!! A bigger joke!!!”

        What’s a big joke about learning from others? Not everyone is a genius?

      15. sandcherry, why don’t you tell me, in your opinion, who should get tv queen? Tvb would never give it to Jessica or Maggie, so there’s only the Fala, Kate, Linda, Tavia left.
        In my subjective opinion, Myolie is the most deserving one of the current fadans.

      16. sometimes it’s not just about improvement. everyone of us has different reaction with different people. so working with a new or different producer may give a new or different reaction/chemistry.

        some people has a fixed/preconceived perception of an artist. no matter what she does, she can do no right. some criticize for the sake of criticizing. so, any worth discussing? i like only a handful of artists but i do not criticize other artists as i look at them objectively. there’s always an audience for different type of style. whatever rocks your boat. 😉

      17. nemesis
        Maggie Cheung Ho Yee should have got TV Queen award in 2011 in “Forensic Heroes 3”. She was the best actress in 2011. If Sheren and Wayne got theirs (especially Sheren as she was on a per-series contract), why not Maggie Cheung? Jessica Husan’s acting did not impress me much in “Curse of the Royal Harem”. Jessica acted better in modern drama series as professionals and inspectors, someone with strong personalities.

    1. Will the full article get translated. I want to know accurately what Tim gor mentioned.

      1. I’m not good enough to translate. Let’s wait for Jayne and her team 😉

    2. I read that article. Myolie did not replace Sheren as the female lead for RB3 because right at the start Tim Gor’s intentions were to change all the leads except Wayne. Since Tim Gor never planned to use Sheren but wanted Myolie instead, we can’t say Myolie replaced Sheren.

      1. Tim Gor indeed want to make this RB3 franchise though. So what was his denial earlier and him announcing he has JJ and Christine in his mind meant if he was planning to use Myolie all along and correct her acting? JJ and Christine by right are not yet good actresses, but what LTS said about them being the leads he wish to use might’ve given them false hope.

    3. LTS keep going north and south with his words.

      A few weeks before he said he’s not continuing RB3 franchise but now he suddenly milking it.

      1-2 weeks earlier he said Christine and JJ are the female leads in his mind, today he suddenly said Myolie is his female lead and he wants to mix up a young first love story in golden era.

      I lost count how many times he said he wants to retire, but he keep coming up with new series.

      Lol.

      1. I think Lee Tim Shing may be someone who is quite easily influenced, or someone who is more easy going, who will tend to give in to stronger personalities.
        He may not have wanted to call it RB3, but if some TVB high level executive wants him to call it RB3. He may have want to retire but some TVB high level executives do not want him to retire.
        As for JJ and Christine, maybe he said he wanted to use them from seeing their photos and their newfound popularity, before he saw them acting in GJ2. 😛 And after he saw them acting in GJ2, Myolie looks so much better in comparison (as they are acting in the same series), so he wants Myolie?

      2. I think it may not be his fault. It may be the media twisting his words (by deliberately emphasising on certain points and leaving out the rest of his words) to suit what they want to write and what the readers want to read. You can’t really trust HK’s media.

      3. “As for JJ and Christine, maybe he said he wanted to use them from seeing their photos and their newfound popularity, before he saw them acting in GJ2. And after he saw them acting in GJ2, Myolie looks so much better in comparison (as they are acting in the same series), so he wants Myolie?”
        —————————————————————
        Of course, Myolie should be much better than those newbies, Christine Kuo and JJ Jia, who could not even speak perfect Cantonese. How could Producer Lee compare Christine and JJ with Myolie who was at least a “so-called” TV Queen in 2011? With Myolie’s exaggerated acting, Producer Lee said “但有些地方没人提点她,《巾帼3》我会帮她收一收,戏会靓很多”.

        Every artiste needs, no mater he/she is a veteran or not, some kind of direction/coaching/guidance from a director and producer in filming a drama series. However, it is quite unusual for a renowned producer to make such a public statement before the filming of “Rosy Business 3”.

  22. great if myolie can flim this
    keen to see the new chemistry as she dun reli film with wayne before?
    🙂

  23. If Sheren is not in it, then it’s not consider as “Rosy Business 3!” Haha Myolie with Wayne but not Sheren with Wayne? This is a “big joke!”

  24. the news is true. there will be a Rosy III but producer Lee Tim Sing has just talked with myolie about the he wants to use her for his new drama. he said Rosy III will be a different scrip, beacuse the new one will be a first love romantic story. I think this will be a interesting drama because I really love myolie. She is my idol. support her.

  25. It say that the lead actress will be Myolie Wu and the lead actor Wayne Lai. They will develop in a triangle love story with Edwin Siu. I think it will be some thing diferent and fresh.

    P.s. Sorry if I write or post some wrong letter.
