Raymond Lam brings girlfriend to film set

Actor Raymond Lam has not been focusing well during his filming in Hendian, as he missed his girlfriend Karena Ng, who is in Hong Kong, which caused the filming crew much distress.

As reported on HK Channel, a production crew member of Raymond's upcoming drama, "The First Empress" recently complained, "The weather has been really hot and it's hard to film period dramas in a 40-degree weather. The lead actress Wang Luodan also does not get along very well with Raymond until now."

He revealed that Raymond suddenly took leave to go back to Hong Kong, allegedly to meet up with Karena, which caused more issues on set.

The crew member stated, "When he is not around, we had to use a body double. Action scenes may be easy to film with body doubles, but not other scenes. Even when we use one, we still have to re-shoot when he returns. We're not happy with this."

It was also reported that Raymond finally decided to take Karena Ng with him to Hengdian after his return to Hong Kong on 13 July, so that they can spend more time together.

The actress was spotted accompanying Raymond to the film set on 15 May and stayed inside his car while Raymond worked.

Following their Tokyo and Okinawa trips, last night the couple were spotted at the airport coming back from their 3rd vacation in Milano. Raymond was first to appear pushing out his luggage, when asked where he just got back from? The impatient Raymond said: "I'm on vacation now, so I don't have to explain. (Where is your girlfriend?) I don't have to give you the schedule right? (3 vacations in 1 month?) Good morning! (Girlfriend will come out after you?) I don't have to tell you. (Came back to HK early because your girlfriend has work?) Thanks!"

Ten minutes later, Karena BB came out with a pleasant smile on her face. There was a group of male fans waiting for her at the airport.

I will tell you all of the happy events. (You're wearing a ring?) I bought it myself, he didn't give it to me. I will only accept it at a different stage in the relationship. (Plan to get married over there?) Haven't thought of that far into the future. (Are you afraid of getting pregnant?) That definitely won't happen. Take it step by step. Marriage comes first, that is one of the biggest events in life and very important to a girl. It is necessary to have a full and complete plan."

Calls Lover By Real Name "Ah Man"

Karena BB later exposed Raymond has not changed his weakness of being late all the time. "Usually he has this problem, I have to rush him. (Why did he want you to take the taxi?) I suggested it, I want to keep a low-profile. We knew there would be reporters. (He's a big man?) No! (He's romantic?) Usually, I can guess everything he does. (How do you two refer one another? Honey?) I don't call him that, I call him by his real name Ah Man." (Raymond's real name is Lam Wui Man)

Raymond's manager responded on his behalf during a telephone interview: "Raymond's vacation is over today (2/28). He'll be attending an autograph session on March 3rd. (Raymond and Karena's secret trip to Milano?) I knew he was on vacation. (Karena has a ring on her, rumored they're secretly married?) I haven't heard about that, personal matters, have to ask them."

Raymond Lam's father not happy with Karena Ng

Rumour has it that Raymond Lam's wealthy old man, Lam Kwok Wah, is not happy with his son's continuous spending for his rumoured girlfriend, Karena Ng.

As reported on Popular Asians, rumours are rife that the real-estate developer is doubtful about his son's new relationship with the 19 year-old Karena, as he suspects that she is out for his money.

Raymond's father was wary of Karena Ng's romantic past, as the actress has reportedly cohabitated with Ellen Wong's son, Derek Lim, and was also romantically linked to textile entrepreneur Lam Kin Ming's son, among other wealthy elite men.

An insider revealed, "Raymond's father realized that Karena has had many negative rumours despite her young age. She comes from a modest family and her academic achievements were also average. When Raymond's father saw that his son was taking care of Karena's entire family not long after dating, Mr. Lam was certain on what was truly happening."

The source added, "Since Raymond realised his father had complaints, he has not yet arranged to have his girlfriend meet him."

Last month, the paparazzi reported that Karena Ng has been living in a luxury apartment at the mid-level sections in Hong Kong. Speculating that the actress may not be able to afford the HKD 80,000 rent, rumours started to spread that Raymond has been living with her to pay half the cost.

Although Raymond has since denied the allegations, tabloids discovered that not only has Karena upgraded to luxurious living conditions, her father, Mr. Ng, who works at a roast pork stall, has moved from his previous Shatin residence to take up a 2,000 square feet apartment one block away, with a monthly rent of HKD 90,000 – a monthly cost that seemed irrational for the actress to bear.

It was also said his father dislikes Karena and Virgina Lok is trying to break them up. During the short 13 minute interview, Raymond had a lot of small gestures and incoherent speech. He was stuttering through the Q&A session.

-------------------------------------
LF - Raymond Lam ; R - Reporter
-------------------------------------

R: Congrats on your lightning marriage!

LF: (laughs) I just found out when someone sent me a SMS. That's so funny, it's getting way out of control. Why is it like this?

R: Perhaps because you two really match. Already met the parents? Have you printed the wedding invitations yet?

LF: You all just saw Ekin Cheng and Yoyo Mung's secret marriage, and now you're dragging me into it.

R: You look so sweet when BB is mentioned?

LF: (hands together, sweet smile) Huh! Facing you guys, of course I'm smiling, should I be crying then?!

R: Have you thought of getting married soon?

LF: (starts stuttering) Huh, in the past I....you said...no... not related. Really? What are you talking about?

R: It was said you went for a lightning marriage, [Karena] already met your parents in Xiamen?

LF: (pretends to be calm) Huh! No, there are no such plans, that is so funny!

R: No plans, but Karena already met the parents?

LF: (covers face) No, no, no.

Didn't What To Do, Playfully Slaps Reporter

R: Make it clear, are you and Karena really dating? You can just say no, then all the mysteries are uncovered!

LF: (thought for a moment, then covers face) Aiya, I don't know... I don't know.

R: Not sure if it's real?

LF: (smile forms from corner of mouth, covers face for 3rd time and can't sit still) You're killing me.

R: Dating is a happy thing!

LF: (suddenly turns serious) But really, don't get my family involved. Some of the stories are completely ridiculous. Really don't be like that. It's not funny.

R: Dating is the truth? Family not involved is the truth?

LF: (4th time covers face, bitter smile) Aiya!

R: Who is BB? Karena Ng?

LF: (5 second thinking Chok face) Let me go, I mean I hope... just let me go. (rubs eye, continues sweet smile).
[* FYI: Raymond also mentioned sometime in the interview, the "BB" he referred to was his sister's baby.]

R: Be more straightforward, just admit it.

LF: Why are there a chain of interesting rumors lately. First they said I'm quitting, then I'm retiring and now I'm married.

R: What's the truth then?

LF: (smiles sweetly and starts blushing, playfully slaps reporter) I don't know, no....

R: Usually you're face turns black when you talk about these things, but today you're full of smiles.

LF: It's the New Year, shouldn't have a black face. (5th time cover face)

Defends Future In-Laws

R: You're company won't allow you to talk about it?

LF: (eyes get big) No, my company doesn't bother with their artists' family matters.

R: Will you interfere in her (Karena) company?

LF: No,no,no. I don't know , don't ask me.

R: It was rumored your father dislikes BB (Karena)?

LF: (sincere smile, thought for a moment) So that's why I said, the previous reports got my family involved and the stories are so ridiculous.

R: Because you really like her?

LF: (hand on face, speechless)

R: Got BB's family involved, do you feel sorry?

LF: Yeah pretty sorry, because there are a lot of false news, just making up anything. Don't be like that.

R: The BB we're talking about is Karena Ng? Do you have to answer the question again?

LF: Yes, yes. Sorry.

R: Do you have to apologize to Uncle and Auntie?

LF: Yea...help me out, don't make up stories.

No Plans for Valentine's Day

R: Did you already buy the coconuts (used for marriage)?

LF: (super sweet smile) Don't play, you all are forcing me so much I'm planning to retire.

R: How are you spending Valentine's Day?

LF: Didn't think about it, I'm not sure if I have to work on that day.

R: No matter who you are dating, will you make it public?

LF: My personal life had never involved my work life.

R: Does Miss Lok know you're dating?

LF: (serious thought for 5 seconds) If I am dating...she would know, so you ask her.

Raymond Lam Exhausted from Concert Dance Rehearsals

Last night, Raymond Lam was rehearsing for his HK Coliseum concert A TIME 4 YOU held this Saturday (1/27th). This is his 4th HK Coliseum concert, but after he finishes this concert, he will temporarily say goodbye to the stage and take 1-2 year break from the music scene. In order to leave the most perfect "Fung" moments to his fans, Raymond has been rehearsing his singing and dancing from morning to night. That day, Mainland actress Eva Huang made a special trip to visit and support Raymond at the recording studio. The two had previously collaborated in a film before and once they met, they were chatting nonstop. They're such good buddies!

Raymond revealed this time, he'll be showing off his dancing skills on the stage. Just the dance rehearsal took away all his physical energy, he said: "This time, there will be a lot of dances. After the dance rehearsals, in the evenings, I go to the band rehearsals. I just felt like I didn't have much physical energy left and just had to eat beef flank rice. I was eating and rehearsing at the same time." He joked he's afraid he might faint when he gets on stage: "After so many years, this is the one time where I had to use the most physical strength. (Are you worried you might get fat from eating so much?) If I don't eat, then I'll really collapse on the stage."

As for his guest performers, Raymond revealed he invited Taiwanese boy band LOLLIPOP F as guests for his first show. He said: "Because earlier at the music awards, I had a good time chatting with them. Also, they are a dance group, I'm quite familiar with one of the members A-Wei (Wayne). Before when I was working in Hengdian, he was in Hengdian too and I told him to come play with us." When asked if its because Lollipop F helped him take the "Asian-Pacific Most Popular Male Singer" award, so he's returning a favor and invited them to his concert? Raymond immediately denied: "A-Wei and I have always been in touch. Six months ago, I already suggested to my company to invite them. I have a lot of dancing parts in the concert, and they're a dance group, so there should be quite of bit of sparks." Asked if he invited rumored girlfriend Karena Ng to watch the show? Raymond frankly expressed he did: "I've invited everyone who I know within the industry."

Raymond Lam Defends Karena Ng: "Don't Write About Her Like That"; Denies Cohabiting Rumor

Yesterday Raymond Lam and Kate Tsui were invited to the watch brand Ernest Borel's store opening. Recently Raymond has been preparing for his HK coliseum concert, but that doesn't stop his rumors. It was rumored he and 19 year old Karena Ng have been cohabiting in Mid-Level, Hong Kong. That day when Raymond won JSG's "Most Popular Male Singer" award, he thanked "BB" on stage. It was said the "BB" Raymond referred to was Karena. In regards to this, Raymond came prepared and asked reporters: "Don't you guys have a rumor to ask me about?" He reiterated that he and Karena are just friends and the rumor is completely false. "I was a little frightened myself when I saw the headline. I have never been to the location shown in the published photos nor have I seen that place before. (Are you renting a place for her?) No, I basically don't know what's happening! Thank you to the magazines for helping me promote for my concert, but I don't want this kind of publicity. Let me make a fair statement, I've been a newcomer myself, I hope the media don't write about her like that and twist the truth. That is so miserable!" Raymond generously responded to the rumors and defended Karena, "I've been a newcomer before too. Newcomers will have all kinds of news, but this society needs positive energy. Don't write stories that we don't even know about!"

Raymond clarified the "BB" he thanked at the JSG awards was just a member in his family. When speaking of Karena praising that he looks the most Chok when he's sleeping? Raymond did not deny and said: "I've filmed with her before and we have break times in between, so of course she's seen me sleep before. I'm used to sleeping a stabled position and won't m[/quote]ove around too much."

Kate appeared in a red low-cut dress and did not hesitate to bend down to dot the lion dance. It was rumored because of the Mainland permission issues, the Lunar New Year film I Love Hong Kong 2013 will have to delay its release for 2 weeks. When Kate heard this, she was very surprised and shouted: "Really?! I haven't heard of that rumor before, but this news is terrifying because I actually have more screen time then previous years. I hope this news isn't true, the Mainland market is very important."
