Wayne Lai Says He’ll Quit If “Short End of the Stick” Fails to Hit 20 Points
TVB’s period comedy drama Short End of the Stick <公公出宮> will be premiering on February 9, 2016, the second day of the Lunar New Year. The drama stars The Confidant <大太監> actors Wayne Lai (黎耀祥), Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), Power Chan (陳國邦), and Raymond Cho (曹永廉) as expelled imperial eunuchs struggling to live a normal life during the Republican era of China. The fun comedy also stars John Chiang (姜大衛), Nancy Wu (胡定欣), Natalie Tong (唐詩詠), and Rosina Lam (林夏薇).
Short End of the Stick kick started its promotion tour yesterday when the cast made a public appearance at Tseung Kwan O. Though television ratings usually suffer a dip during the Lunar New Year holidays, Wayne said he and his costars will stay put to watch the premiere episode on Tuesday together.
Nonetheless, Wayne expressed that he is not at all worried about the guaranteed fall in ratings on premiere week. “If you want to watch it, you’ll watch it. If you don’t want to, you won’t,” he said with a laugh. “The ratings are definitely going to be low. Actually, maybe not. The economy has been bad this year. Maybe we’ll break ratings. You never know.”
How many points does Wayne hope Short End of the Stick would achieve? “Let’s hope it won’t fall under 20 points!” Remarking that his expectations are very low, he said, “Yes. My target is 20 points!”
What if ratings really did fall below 20 points? Wayne laughed and said, “I’ll quit! I’ll take the blame and resign! Cancel my contract!”

Wouldn’t it be ironic if it only gets 19 pts…. Lol.
This is finally going to air.
-90 points for ugly costumes
Wow, Nancy is so strong!
@mi88 Yes I think she is too!.. she doesn’t look like the typical HK celebrity where they are really skinny and all head. I think she actually have a very healthy and tone body.
Looking forward to this!
@happybi thanks! Your compliment means a lot. Many people around me do not like her. It kinda hurts that they have so much hate for her.
Hopefully a decent series from TVB, they have been releasing rubbish since Lord of Shanghai up til now.
Good cast so hopefully it will not disappoint.
This drama actually looks interesting..can’t say the same for the recent tvb dramas. At least the cast is made up of experienced actors/actresses.
It’s a strong cast, so it shouldn’t do too bad!
I find it very awkward whenever there are piggy-back scenes. The contact of private parts with the carrier’s body is embarrassing for both lol.
