Bobby Au-Yeung (歐陽震華), Raymond Lam (林峰), Tavia Yeung (楊怡), Mandy Wong (黃智雯), Sire Ma (馬賽) and the rest of the cast attended the promotional event of their new TVB drama, Men With No Shadows《不速之約》yesterday.
About succeeding the broadcasting time slot of their predecessor, previous high viewership drama, Lives of Omission《潛行狙擊》, the cast of “Men With No Shadows” professed that they didn’t feel stressed at all.
Bobby said, “We should (actually feel stressed) lah! The influence of “Lives of Omission” was done up to the point where it was so compelling. Thus Raymond didn’t even go for his movie filming and rushed here instead. I am definitely confident about this series!”
When the TV King award was mentioned, Bobby initially laughed and joked, “There are huge expectations about this drama. This year’s TV King should be me, only lacking and contending for Mr Chan’s (Stephen Chan (陳志雲)) one and only remaining vote!” (Reporter: You are not competing with them for the TV King award lah!) “Already “convert” lah! (Bobby meant that he had already left TVB for so many years and converted to filming in Mainland, China so he was surely not in the running)”
Bobby later also expressed that he highly looked upon Raymond to win the TV King award and expected their drama, “Men With No Shadows”, to rake in a high rating of at least 32 points.
Guest starring as Chang ‘Er for the festive season
As it was nearing to the Mooncake Festival, Bobby and the other cast of “Men With No Shadows” had huge fun dressing up as Chang ‘Er (a female Chinese celestial being who lives on the moon) to welcome the Mooncake Festival.
Amongst them, Bobby was the most hilarious Chang ‘Er such that when the producer awarded the marks, he remarked that Bobby was the most feminine out of them.
This “angered” Bobby who mockingly retorted, “You turned me into this, I still need to venture into the Mainland industry leh!”
As for Tavia Yeung, she was considered to be the actress with the most production works out this year. However, Tavia expressed that she wasn’t afraid that she would get a lack of votes as her roles in the dramas were all different.
When it was mentioned that voices of support for Fala Chen (陳法拉) to be TV Queen were relatively high this year, Tavia responded, “Fala good lah! I definitely have confidence for the TV Queen award. But those who truly know me would know that I don’t really put that much emphasis on the award. However, I will still work hard and try my best to strive for the award.”
Is Tavia confident about the ratings for their new drama then? Tavia responded, “Of course the higher the ratings the better it is, relying on Raymond to “Chok” the ratings up.”
About rumors that “Men With No Shadows” was plagiarizing the popular Japan manga series cum 2006 movie adaption of it, Death Note《死亡筆記》, Tavia felt that only the storyline was somewhat similar.
Raymond Lam thinking about his battle suit for the TVB Anniversary Awards night
On the other hand, Raymond was dressed as a “Chok” bunny to welcome the Mooncake Festival too. Raymond expressed that his role as a devil in “Men With No Shadows” was very challenging and he had used a fresh acting method of following his own inclination to portray it out.
Raymond also professed that he didn’t feel pressurized, “Succeeding the previous highly rated drama is also good in a way, it can act as a momentum to move us along and make the audience continue to chase after the following dramas. So we should instead thank them! Although I didn’t watch “Lives of Omission”, I did, however, hear that Michael Tse‘s (謝天華) and Bosco Wong‘s (黃宗澤) performances were outstanding in “Lives”.”

When the reporter asked him whether he still has the confidence to strive for TV King and oust Michael Tse in this case, Raymond laughed and replied, “I’m just happy that this series could reach the audience in time. I just hope that we could all get into the top five together lah! I don’t want to win lah, I’m already happy enough to be able to contend with Michael for the TV King award! It’s really nothing much, I’m just troubling over what to wear for the TVB Anniversary Awards night!”
