Bobby AuYeung Accepts Interview, Thankful Benjamin Yuen Rescued Him

Several days ago, Bobby Au-Yeung was sent to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) because he fell unconscious. He suffered from acute pneumonia, but his condition has now stabilized and he's been transferred out of ICU. Yesterday Bobby accepted an interview with Maria Lai and recalls what happened.

Bobby expressed the doctor has checked his blood pressure and lungs, and he's doing physical therapy every day to speed up the recovery process. When asked what was the last memory he had before he went unconscious? Bobby recalled: "I just remember my group of friends were taking pictures. I really can't remember anything else. Later, my wife told me the story. At the time, I was sitting on the sofa alone and it appeared I fell asleep. Michael Tao thought I was drunk and needed a nap, so he came over to wake me up (*coughs*). What he saw was I had white eyes and muscle cramps. Luckily, I had several friends who were professionals, such as a gynecologist, police officer and one friend learned CPR before and they were all there. Benjamin Yuen was just amazing, he rushed into the restroom to wash his hands, then he gave me his finger to bite on. He told me not to bite my tongue. Perhaps because I had a little flu and drank alcohol, so once I coughed, the liquid went into my lungs and caused my unconsciousness."

Wasn't Breathing, Could Have Died

Bobby disclosed when he got to the hospital, he wasn't capable of breathing on his own and needed the paramedics to give him oxygen. Still lingering in fear, Bobby said: "It was terrible, I was really about to die. I was in the ER from 2am until the afternoon of the next day, a total of 12 hours. The doctor said I had a 'big life', luckily I was strong and was able to regain consciousness. Otherwise, I would've been in a coma and the condition could have worsen. I really picked my life back up this time, really have to thank my wife and friends for overcoming this rough period with me." Reportedly, the actual cause of Bobby's illness was because he was "violently drinking" and he's trying to conceal the truth. Bobby said: "The fact is I did drink, but I didn't drink that much. Its just because I was too tired, I have heavy screen time in Love Reverse Three Lifetimes of Fate." Bobby also disclosed, there were a few times when he was filming in the studio, he had severe chest pain from smelling the strong paint thinner odor. He said: "I was even joking about it, if something happens to me, then send me to get my arteries widened (angioplasty). Esther Kwan said I'm so despicable, how can I die that easily?"

Next Time Suck on the Toes Instead of Finger

Reporters contacted Benjamin Yuen, who rescued Bobby that night and is currently working on the new series with him. Benjamin said: "I've learned CPR before. At the time he couldn't breathe, so I tried to help him find a position where he could comfortably breathe, but I didn't dare to do too much on him. It's a human life! Later, he called to thank me and joked, next time don't use my finger, let him suck on my toes instead."


Good Friends Esther Kwan and Jessica Hsuan Visits

As for Bobby's good friends Esther Kwan and Jessica Hsuan visited him at the hospital. Esther brought a Get Well card with her, signed by the entire Reverse Three Lifetimes cast. Esther stayed with Bobby for about 30 minutes before rushing back to the set for continual shooting. She congratulated Bobby for getting through the difficult times and expressed Bobby is still very well-spirited, he's still joking around with her. It's just because he's still hooked on the tubes and he feels tired. It is clear he lost some weight and a beard is growing. Jessica Hsuan made a special trip back to HK to visit Bobby, she stayed at the hospital for 3 hours. Jessica said: "He's recovering well, he can even talk back to me now. He complained I didn't bring him a souvenir or any snacks. He has a tube up his nose and has definitely lost quite a bit of weight, but he doesn't look worn out. I told him to watch what he eats and exercise more. After all, we aren't 18 or 22 years old anymore."

Bobby's wife Rosanne Fu had a smile on her face, she revealed: "Bobby ate all his food." Bobby's manager Lydia expressed he probably can discharge in 3-4 days. She said: "I prayed for Bobby, he can now go to restroom and take showers. He's not having trouble breathing anymore, just some coughs. I contacted Reverse Three Lifetimes's producer and discussed the followup filming because there are still outdoor filming in East Dragon Island and Foshan."

Jessica Hsuan Wants Freedom, Not Signing TVB Contract, Declines 'Tiger Cubs 2'

Yesterday Jessica Hsuan and Elena Kong participated in the Society for Abandoned Animals (SAA) Walkathon 2013 with their beloved dogs. Jessica frankly expressed she will not sign a contract with TVB and decided to turn down Tiger Cubs 2. The reason is because she and TVB were unable to come to an agreement on the contract terms, and she does not plan to sign a long contract with the company. When asked whether she feels its a pity that she gave up on the Tiger Cubs sequel? Jessica said: "Currently I'm all about following my fate, I rather choose freedom. As for if I will ever sign a long contract with a TV station, I will have to see the contract terms first. If one of the terms on the contract is I cannot go anywhere, then there is some difficulty there." Jessica stressed the recent rumor on the magazine reports is not true, she definitely did not disappear for 3 hours.

Elena Kong just completed shooting Triumph in the Skies II and won't start on her next series until April. She has time to guest star in a few films and was invited by DBC to do a singing performance again. "To me, I'm paid pretty well for singing again."

When the ratings hit a certain point, I can do something for the series." He joked, last time at the cruise party several of the cast couldn't make it, so this time he hopes to take a 'Tigers Cubs' A&F' photo with Oscar Leung and Him Law and win honor for the people of Hong Kong.

Yesterday, the cast celebrated with Jessica with a birthday cake and kisses from Joe and Oscar. She hoped the ratings could be 42 (points) too and then she can force Joe to go topless. Jessica expressed the sequel is not confirmed yet. As for renewing her TVB contract, she will have to wait for the sequel to confirm first before she makes considerations because she fears of having restrictions if she renews and affect her development in Mainland. Is her birthday wish to find a boyfriend? Jessica said: "I can have many wishes, this week many friends have invited me out to eat. (Any pursuers?) They are all friends."

At the event, Vincent had to apologize, as he knelt down and gave his wife Yoyo Chen tea. He laughed and said because in the series, he and Him Law had to arrest Yoyo and hurt her in the process, so now he's apologizing to her. Also, Oscar reveals Netizens have been scolding Christine Kuo, his girlfriend in the series, because Netizens still likes him paired with Mandy Wong.

I will definitely ask Bobby Au-Yeung, and maybe try Louis Koo. I'll try to kneel down and beg him, maybe he'll come back then. He still has a contract with TVB anyway!" But as for herself, Jessica said she's still discussing a contract with TVB: "We're still discussing, it's going to be a per-series contract and the sequel is one of the attractions."

Jessica Hsuan afraid to die, turns down CTI's offer; Reveals 'Tiger Cubs' Sequel

Yesterday Jessica Hsuan appeared for an interview on the radio station. She reveals TVB has approached her to discuss shooting a sequel to Tiger Cubs. She said: "We did discuss the sequel, TVB wanted me to sign 1 year contract! (Get a pay raise?) Didn't discuss in that detail, still very preliminary. I'm not even sure when the sequel of Tiger Cubs will start shooting, who the lead actor is, I don't know anything yet!" When speaking of Tiger Cubs' ending, where it was exposed she's going to die? She replied: "Really? How so! If I die, how will there be a sequel?"

Also, she discloses Ricky Wong once asked her to shoot a travel show for CTI: "They wanted the show to be more intense and exciting, and wanted me to go to Vanuatu and explore the active volcanoes there! Because I'm afraid to die, so I turned it down. If I was 20 years younger, I would do it! (Did they asked you to shoot series for them?) Yeah we discussed that too, but the scripts were cops and robbers again. I want to try something I haven't done before as my 'first cannon' after leaving TVB."

Jessica Hsuan wants to be a villian

Jessica Hsuan, Joe Ma, Vincent Wong and Yoyo Chen attended the promotional event for TVB series Tiger Cubs yesterday. The current broadcast times for the series are on Saturdays and Sundays, Jessica expressed she was initially worried viewers may get confused and miss the Saturday broadcast, and hence affect the ratings. Now that the ratings are doing well, it truly helped opened a new series broadcast time slot. Joe expressed if the ratings get better, he'll treat the cast and crew a meal to celebrate. Asked if he'll wear swim trunks? He said: "To make it even more enjoyable, we can go for a cruise trip." Asked if Jessica would wear a bikini to celebrate? She shook her head and expressed that she'll leave the heavy responsibility to the younger ones, like Yoyo Chen.

Earlier it was reported based on statistics, Jessica has been held hostage 24 times in the 18 years of her acting career. Jessica said: "So happy, never thought I've been kidnapped that many times, but its better to get kidnapped than wearing a wedding dress. Each time, there are different weapons and people, it's so exciting. Once I see wedding dresses, I get bored. (How about when you wear one for your actual wedding?) I don't like to make a big deal out of it, just peacefully get married. I may not even wear a wedding dress." When asked if she wants to be the kidnapper instead? Jessica said she wants to be a bad person and then she immediately pretended to kidnap Joe Ma, but he laughed and said she's not convincing. Jessica said the person she's kidnapping can't be like Joe, 6 feet tall.

Joe was asked about not being in Triumph in the Skies II? He said: "I'm already very happy to be able to be in the first part. I see the cast for the sequel is pretty strong as well, but I already died in the first one, can no longer come back to life." He expressed if it's reasonable for the story and TVB needs him, he can make a guest appearance.

Jessica Hsuan's Mainland drama ratings breaks record; Discloses main reason of leaving TVB

Jessica Hsuan has recently charged up north to shoot Mainland dramas. The other night, she appeared at the Men In Black III HK premiere. She expressed she does not have a boyfriend yet because she's been busy with her Mainland work. She just came back from Beijing, and expressed her latest drama with Benny Chan Love Amongst War (薛平貴與王寶釧) has broke the TV rating record on the Mainland channel. The drama been the top rated in 10 consecutive weeks. Jessica expressed her happiness and said: "I couldn't believe, I have known Benny Chan for some 10 years, but we're only collaborating after we left TVB." When speaking of TVB artists leaving the company and then bombing their old company is wrong? Jessica is known for her straightforward personality, but this time she blandly expressed: "Each person has their own reason when leaving a company, I understand. Perhaps because they want better development, more money or for some other reasons, but I believe my decision to leave is right. After all, I have been with TVB for over 10 years and considered an artist that signed the longest management contract with them. It is about time that I go out and take that first step."

Does she feel she has more freedom and space working outside of TVB? Jessica is grateful that TVB gave her all those opportunities that got her the fame she has today. She also took the opportunity to disclose the main reason for her leaving the company: "Because the internal personnel changed a lot. We all have different work styles and coordination and can't work well together. In the past, I have always had pleasant collaborations. I am getting older, and have already pass the point of working for money. If I'm unhappy at work, then I leave. Now that I have left, I'm feeling quite happy."

When her plastic surgery accusation was bought up again, Jessica was furious. Earlier a plastic surgery company in Mainland invited her to be their spokesperson and implied she got a boob job. Jessica was still upset at the incident: "Because the contract was different from what was discussed before, so I decided to turn down that job. At the time, I was very angry, I felt a little insulted. I'm not opposing boob jobs, but it is just I'm not too happy that I'm getting accused for doing it. I've encountered these incidents after I left my maternal home (TVB), so I've learned a lesson for the future and will be more careful in accepting jobs."

Jessica Hsuan accused of having a boob job

In the recent year, Jessica Hsuan started her career development in China, opening up her market and value there. She is often attending both large and small scale events in China. Earlier she was invited to take part in a Mainland event where she visits a cosmetic surgery hospital with fans. However, that Hospital immediately made good use of Jessica for promotions on their official website. The Hospital showed her nice curve and figure, implying she got a boob job and shows signs of intentions to mislead visitors of the site.

Although that Hospital didn't directly say Jessica got a boob job, but in one article, the caption says Jessica's figure was previously mediocre, but in her recent TV series appearances, she suddenly had a cup size increase. On the website, it also said as long as you experience the Hospital, you can uncover the mystery of celebrities doing plastic surgery. Jessica just wanted to make some money in Mainland, but she miserably gets taken advantage of. It would be a lie if she wasn't upset! Although Jessica already pocketed the appearance money, she still decided to give it back and won't be attending the event next month.

Jessica wrote on Weibo: "To all fans, I may not attend the event in Suzhou on May 12th .... the reason is because we will be visiting a cosmetic surgery hospital and that Hospital actually went as far as saying that I got a boob job on their website! For promotions, they can tell such a lie. They have absolutely no respect for me! I am extremely angry! With this kind of lie, will anyone dare to go get plastic surgery at such a place? To me, they are big liars!" Good friend Ada Choi immediately replies: "Ridiculous!" Jessica wrote again: "That company has no professional ethics whatsoever! I cannot help these people do business. I already signed the contract, if nothing can be done I will have to go. However, I must let everyone know what type of company they are and to clarify for myself...the event is cancelled. I apologize to all Fans!"

Reporters contacted Jessica, she expressed her manager will handle the refund. She expressed she visited cosmetic surgery hospitals before, but she had never been accused that she got a boob job: "I really dislike them saying I got a boob job and plastic surgery. Their way of doing things is really a problem. I won't do things that are lying to people just to make money. Luckily Fans notified me!" Jessica stressed she advocates for natural beauty, definitely won't get a boob job!

Jessica Hsuan first time on ATV, not afraid of TVB boycotting her

Yesterday Jessica Hsuan steps into ATV for the first time to participate in the recording of their programme. She frankly expressed its a special feeling for her: "I never thought that after 19 years, I would take this step. This afternoon, I was even back at TVB for dubbing of Tiger Cubs. (Are you afraid TVB will boycott you and you won't be able to participate in the promotions?) I don't think so. My participation in the promotions is just for the good of the series, TVB won't be that sensitive!"

As a freelancer, Jessica is not tied to any contract, but she expressed she did talk to Ricky Wong earlier and felt the conditions he offered weren't too bad. There may be a chance for a collaboration with CTI. As for her love life, Jessica is currently single and reveals she has a pursuer. She joked and said: "I'm still valued in the market!" However, she frankly expressed that she's not rushed, and believes when choosing a boyfriend, the most important factors are having common values and a sense of humor.

Bowie Lam & Jessica Hsuan interested to join CTI, ready at anytime

CTI's Chairman Ricky Wong has been taking innovative approaches to set off a television crisis since he applied for the free-to-air license. Yesterday, CTI successfully launched their telecommunications business for nearly HK$5 billion, focusing primarily on developing their multimedia business, including free-to-air television broadcasting. Today, Ricky has plenty of 'silver bullets' in his possession and continues to entice artists to switch over to his company. Even TVB second and third line Siu Sangs like Savio Tsang gets a high salary reaching up to HK$50,000 per episode when he joins CTI. CTI is also recruiting over 700 production staff and artists.

Yesterday when Jessica Hsuan accepted an interview, she directly admitted that she is very interested in CTI: "Last year, I talked to Ricky Wong already, now that there are more funding, it is a good thing. If he does want to discuss with me again, I am very interested, but as an artist, I cannot just look at the money, I also hope they can invest more into their productions." Steven Ma also admitted that he did get in touch with Ricky Wong last year, but neither side had talked about the pay. When asked if there are heavyweight 'silver bullets', will he join? He laughed and said that the pay is not the most important: "It's still about sincerity. I have to work in Hengdian later this month, even if TVB approaches me, they will have to wait I finish this series first."

Bowie Lam expressed as long as there is a good script, there is a chance for collaboration any time: "This is a good thing, have enough ammunition, which means there is more resources to make a grand production." Bowie also stressed that money is not as important: "Most important is the script and the production. Since he has enough resources, I rather get less, and put the money into the production." Kevin Cheng wasn't able to respond before deadline to publish this article.

TVB long contracted artists Moses Chan, Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu all expressed that it is a good thing that there are 'hundred flowers blooming' in the TV industry. Moses responded through SMS, expressing that he hopes for healthy competition, in order to boost the quality in the entire TV industry. Bosco strongly supported TVB's grand productions, such as Triumph in the Skies II. TVB Director for Foreign Affairs (Tsang Sing Ming) expressed TVB welcomes competition: "We are constantly putting more resources to strengthen our productions, and that is because we are competing with ourselves."

Jessica Hsuan reveals reason to her break up with Dicky Cheung back in the day

Yesterday Jessica Hsuan appeared on iCable on the first time after leaving TVB. She was on the talk show Star Chatroom. After so many years of being in the industry, Jessica was unexpectedly so nervous she couldn't sleep. During the interview, Jessica talked in detail about her past relationship with Dicky Cheung. It was because her career was better than Dicky's that conflict arise between them and then ended with a breakup. "When I was dating him, he didn't have a stable career yet, but I was just on the rise. I believe he's a normal man, hoping that his career is better than his girlfriend." Today, Dicky is already married and started a family, but Jessica is currently still single. She generously expressed she'll be turning 41 this year and have already went through the 'desperate for marriage' stage: "It's hard for me now to find a matching partner, so I leave it all to fate. I actually hope to have more time to spend with friends."

Jessica served TVB for 18 years, and had left a lot of good memories. "It was very memorable for me to work with so many seniors. I remember the first time I worked with my idol Alex Fong, I became so stiff while hugging him." She frankly described TVB as a "large tree that is good for shades". She and TVB's relationship is like dating: "When you feel two people are growing further and further apart, then it's time to break up."
