Alex Fong & Tavia Yeung Fight Out a "Brotherly" Relationship

Since The Building Blocks of Life several years ago, Alex Fong and Tavia Yeung collaborate once again in TVB new series A Great Way to Care II. Although they aren't a couple, just a doctor and a police undercover investigating the same case, they still had chemistry right from the start. Tavia regards Alex as the 'TV Drama Soul', she complimented that his performances are steady and has his own style to portray the role, which helps his co-stars easily get into character. She believed if the new generation actors can learn this strength of his, then there will definitely be good prospects.

When speaking of having scenes opposite of this handsome Alex Fong, one can easily get 'electrified' by him? Tavia laughed and said their relationship is like brothers. When they were filming, they mutually showed off their skills and prepare their responses together beforehand. Many times, Alex would test her to see if she could improvise on the spot. She said: "The grudge between Alex and I started from Building Blocks of Life. The moment we met, we started fighting and it can get really intense too. Although Christine Ng is the strongest, when the three of us come together, we could really play hard. We're always breaking the props on the set. He pushes me; I bump him, but all of the bruises are on us, he gets none of it. But it's a joy still."

Although Tavia encountered a playful co-star, she did not hesitate to say that Alex does have his attentive side too. She disclosed during filming, she had an unhappy incident happen to her and as a good friend, he went to comfort her. Even though he just said a few words, but it's the thought that counts. Tavia said: "At the time, my emotions weren't that bad. When I got to work, I still played with Alex. I thought the things the aren't true, I shouldn't let them bother me. I really have to let it go. My colleagues won't know that much, they could only support me spiritually and cannot help me resolve the issues, but now it's already the past. Don't have to pay too much attention to it and not like it's a big deal."

Alex praised Tavia back, expressing her acting is great otherwise she couldn't have become TV Queen. The playful him did not forget to tease Tavia: "Now you have more life experiences, in both your acting and love life. If not, then don't take the TV Queen title! Actually dating is a part of life, next time just don't lean towards that area again when you vomit! But, I do have to compliment that you have good ethics of an artist. You get injured or sprain your ankle, but you still limp back to work!" This good friend of Tavia's teases her first and then compliments her, Tavia didn't know whether she should be laughing or crying.

Alex Fong Not Supporting Yoyo Mung: TVB Contract Still Active, Should Complete Promotion First

Yesterday Alex Fong, Tavia Yeung, Aimee Chan and Leanne Li attended TVB new series A Great Way to Care II promotional event. It has been widely rumored TVB excluded Yoyo Mung from the series promotion because she is going to join Ricky Wong's HKTV. Indeed, Yoyo was absent from the first promotional event, but she's still seen in the center on the large series poster at the event. Producer Marco Law denied that he's cutting Yoyo off. He expressed he and Yoyo have consensus to promote selectively.

As for Yoyo not participating in the series promotion? Alex said: "She chose her own path, she can take her path however she likes to. (Her contract hasn't ended yet, but she's not allowed to participate in the promotion, do you think TVB is being too sensitive?) They have less empathy, but thinking in the shoes of a large company like TVB, you cannot blame them. Since she intends to leave the company, then should complete all the series promotions first and then when the contract ends, she can go discuss contracts with other companies. That makes the situation less complicated. (Yoyo should learn from you?) Of course, I would say its best to go back to Mainland and make the Chinese yuan! (Has Ricky Wong invited you to join HKTV?) I was approached by them before, but I believe a salary of several HK$10,000 per episode, there is no reason why TVB can't give me that same offer. I believe working in a familiar environment is better. If TVB calls me back, I will definitely come back to help them. I'm currently freelance and don't have plans of becoming a contracted artist for any company." Producer Marco Law expressed he and Yoyo are good friends. He stressed he did not boycott Yoyo, he said: "There is Yoyo in the promotional clips and on the poster. Yesterday she came back to shoot the TVB Weekly cover. We discussed with Catherine Tsang already and all have consensus that she will promote selectively.”

When Tavia Yeung learned it was her idol Alex’s 50th birthday on March 17th, she gave him a birthday kiss. Asked if she’s afraid rumored boyfriend Him Law will get jealous? She’s not afraid because Him likes Alex too and will definitely applaud. Tavia is actually more worried Alex’s wife Hoyan Mok might get jealous. In regards to Yoyo not being able to participate in the promotions and Tavia will have to take the flag? Tavia said: “Alex is one of the main leads too and has many housewife fans. She feels a little disappointed that she cannot promote with Yoyo, but unfortunately TVB has their policies.”

Aimee said with a smile that she still feels happy despite being teased because she's used to it. She said: "I hope the audience will get the 'Chan Mo disease' and 'Aimee disease' too, and support my series!" Yesterday it was White Day (3/14), Aimee expressed Valentine's Day (2/14th) is more important to her.
