Moses Chan squeezes in crowded bus to get Aimee Chan a gift

Since Moses Chan and Aimee Chan's relationship went public, their love grows every day. Yesterday on Christmas, after Moses takes part in a Christmas party show in the afternoon, he will be meeting up with Aimee at night for dinner and spend their first romantic Christmas together!

According to sources, Moses' appearance money was especially high yesterday, reaching HK$150,000 after 1 hour. Moses expressed Aimee had to work on Christmas Eve, so they could only countdown over the phone. However, it is clear Moses really values this holiday as he makes a special trip to Tsim Sha Tsui the other day to buy a gift for his girlfriend. He unexpectedly encountered a road block along the way and had to squeezes in the crowded buses instead. The other riders on the bus recognized him and all asked for his autograph and pictures: "I initially wanted to take the taxi, but couldn't find one. So I just got on the bus, haven't rode on one for a long time. I didn't expect there would be so many people, I'm so out. I was in a difficult situation, but I also thought the atmosphere was great for the holidays." As Moses was rushing to 'escape', he was still unable to buy the gift. Asked what he is thinking of getting for Aimee? Moses sweetly expressed: "I want something meaningful, but I haven't bought it yet. (Diamond ring?) Choi! (Will you buy a diamond ring?) As long as it is meaningful. (Do you hope to get something warm?) Not telling you!"

Tavia Yeung & Ruco Chan uncovers their Most Favorite 'Truth'

This year Ruco Chan and Tavia Yeung are both nominated for TVB's 'My Favorite TV Character Award' for their roles in The Other Truth. Although Ruco has confidence in himself, but he won't be pressured. This was the first series Ruco played the lead role, he thanked Producer Amy Wong and TVB Executive Catherine Tsang for giving him the opportunity. Ruco had always been seen as Catherine's favorite, asked if he hopes Catherine will vote for him? He said: "Of course, but Catherine had always been unbiased. Even if she does vote, it won't be because of me, but will vote based on a balance of qualities from all artists."

When asked who his greatest opponent is? Ruco frankly said: "I have confidence in myself! If I had to choose, I would say Bosco Wong. In fact I believe he definitely has the power to take Best Actor, but if he can't get that award, I still hope he gets the My Favorite TV Male Character award."

As for Tavia Yeung, she expressed she never gives herself pressure. Also she participated in the awards ceremony several years now, whoever wins the awards, she will be happy for them. She said: "Especially this year, many of the candidates are my peers, from the same generation. It feels like a group of students waiting to get their report cards. I actually feel more relaxed." When speaking of her greatest opponent, Tavia laughed and said she was part of the cast of Yes Sir, Sorry Sir, so she supports Miss Koo Linda Chung. She said: "Well I really have to go back to school and talk to the principle there, but even if it sounds selfish, I still have to give myself a vote. If I win, then I'll have an explanation for myself." She also expressed if she gets the award, she will definitely cry and let everything out because that is her true nature.

Moses Chan, who cheated the relationship with Miss Koo in Yes Sir Sorry Sir is also part of the nominations for My Favorite TV Male Character. He frankly said this year he doesn't have too much confidence because his role isn't worth flattering. Asked if its because his role cheated on a relationship? He said: "Actually I don't care about this. As an artist, we are used to fluctuate audiences' emotions. I don't have confidence in myself, but instead I support Linda Chung. She really was outstanding in the crying scenes. Let's see if she's lucky or not!"

Charmaine Sheh won't say TV King/Queen to avoid offending people

Yesterday Charmaine Sheh, Bowie Lam, Moses Chan, Kenny Wong and Angela Tong attended the promotional event for TVB new series When Heaven Burns, which is finally airing after two years. Currently shooting in Mainland, Charmaine rushed back to Hong Kong to take part in the promotion. As Charmaine has already switched to a 'per series' TVB contract, it was not required for her to participate in the TVB Anniversary celebration held the other night, so she was able to celebrate with her mother on her 60th birthday. Charmaine said: "This is the first time I didn't have to be in the TVB Anniversary, no need to worry about fixing my hair and the makeup. It feels special. Since I was celebrating my mother's birthday, I wasn't able to watch the TVB Anniversary."

This year, Charmaine is nominated for TV Queen depended on her role in My Sister of Eternal Flower, but she won't be able to attend the TVB Anniversary Awards held on December 5th. However, she is scheduled to return to HK on December 6th to take part in good friend Toby Leung's wedding, she will serve as one of her bridesmaid. Regarding her absence in the TVB Anniversary Awards, Charmaine expressed TVB is not that sensitive and Toby had already asked her to be part of wedding half a year ago. Towards the rumor that TVB internally decided to give Myolie Wu the TV Queen award? Charmaine said: "I don't think there is such thing nor will I say who I am supporting. They are all my friends, I don't want to offend anyone." She reveals she will make her greatest effort in scheduling time to take part in the February 2012 production War and Beauty 2.

Bowie Lam expressed producer Jonathan Chik has already called him about the War and Beauty 2 schedule. He said: "I hope to be part of the series too, but I am currently very tied up with work, it's not confirmed yet." When Heaven Burns is airing after the TVB Anniversary period, there is a conspiracy that TVB deliberately didn't want Charmaine and Bowie to participate in the TVB Awards, Bowie said: "Charmaine and I won't compete, after all in my eyes, When Heaven Burns is beyond Anniversary Series quality, and I hope the ratings can prove my views."

The other night at the TVB Anniversary show, Moses was asked to pick out Aimee Chan based on her ear, but almost got Aimee mixed up with Kate Tsui. He made Aimee get the wrong number and lost the chance to get the grand prize. He expressed he will give her a big Christmas gift to patch things up. As for the rumor that TVB decided internally to give TV King to Michael Tse? Moses laughed: "I'm not sure. I have been sitting in the cold seat for many years, the most important is for a good series!" As for When Heaven Burns, it was said the series reflects the band BEYOND? Moses expressed it's not related.

Moses Chan "King of Gold" with HK$15 million earnings, pressuring Raymond Lam

This year Moses Chan's momentum is like a rainbow, he gains in both his career and love life. Although mid-year he fell out of love (Bernice Liu), but he quickly found true love with Aimee Chan. He continued the momentum left off of last year's Can't Buy Me Love with this year's Yes Sir Sorry Sir, which also left a good impression on audience, making them love and hate his character. Moses also did a good job keeping the advertisers and clients happy.

This year Moses was a spokesperson for 6 endorsements, allowing him to pocket approximately HK$1 million. There are also public events that he attended, each paying about HK$80,000. When mid-year came around, he already had an increase to HK$120,000. If he attends an event with girlfriend Aimee, he gets HK$200,000. So, Moses earns about HK$15 million and above. No wonder he revealed his earnings from advertisements for the first half year already surpassed his income from last year. He is the 'King of Money Making' in TVB this year.

Brings girlfriend (Aimee) to popularity

Moses brings his girlfriend along to popularity. In the past, Aimee's appearance money was only HK$20,000, but now its increase to HK$40,000-$50,000. Of course when she appears as a couple team with Moses, she gets much more. Yesterday, reporters contacted Moses and asked about how he's this year's TVB "King of Money Making"? Moses laughed: "I'm very happy, thanks to all the support advertisers gave me. I hope their business continues to grow and my contract with them continues!"

Raymond Lam loses many opportunities

In fact, Raymond Lam's "money making" ability is quite frightening because the foundation he has in Mainland is much more stabled than Moses. He is Asia-Pacific's Most Popular Male Singer, which increased his concert prices and value. As for his appearance money, he is paid more than Moses, each event he attends is nearly HK$200,000. Unfortunately, Raymond allocates the majority of his time on shooting TV series, so because of the schedule conflicts, even if there is money for him to earn, he just can't do it. Under his request, TVB finally let him go to Mainland to shoot films and earn some extra income through endorsements. Once he exercises his power, he can earn more than HK$10 million, which is just only after Moses. It is believed that if it wasn't for the Mavis Pan incident that impacted him, he would have reached a higher level in his music and concerts.

Charmaine Sheh the #1 Female Money Maker

As for the female artists, after 'Big Sister' Charmaine Sheh left TVB, she moved on to a Mainland company who offered her nearly 10 million to sign the contract with them. Charmaine gained popularity in Mainland after War and Beauty back in 2004. This time, she concentrates completely on developing in the Mainland market, so she switched to a 'per-series' contract with TVB. In August, Charmaine was still the number 1 money maker in TVB, her appearance money in HK is over HK$120,000 and 200,000 yuan in Mainland. Also, her advertisements is over HK$1.5 million, so before her contract ended with TVB, she already earned nearly HK$10 million.

Fala Chen, Myolie Wu, Tavia Yeung takes over

TVB's current heavily promoted FaDans Fala Chen, Myolie Wu and Tavia Yeung are going to be the ones taking over as the number 1 Money Maker. However, the appearance money for the three of them does not compare to Charmaine Sheh. It was said Fala's appearance money in HK is only HK$60,000-$80,000. Myolie is currently superior over Fala in the Mainland market. So, whoever (Myolie or Fala) gets the TV Queen title this year, they will surely get a pay raise.
