No Frankie-Charmaine-Kevin in FH2? - Rumors

Read here: Asian Fanatics : Kevin, Charmaine and Frankie Are Done, Ron, Myolie and Bernice to Join in FH3

//My Thoughts: These are only rumors, but I actually did enjoy the triangle between Charmaine, Kevin, and Frankie. Although the chemistry between both couples wasn't through the roof, nonetheless, I think both couples were decent to watch. They absolutely can not do away with Frankie since Dr.Koo helps solves like half of most investigation cases. To replace him is unthinkable! Frankie has also done a great job portraying the role of medical examiner, Sam Koo, and Forensics Heroes just would not work without him.

As for Charmaine & Kevin, I would like to see them in FH3 because I really enjoyed watching them towards the end of FH2 and would like to see how they will fare in FH3. Though if Yoyo gets more screen time, it is probably not necessary for TVB to cast Charmaine again since both are female cops (Madams). Kevin's character as a bomb specialist is actually a profession that I wouldn't mind watching more about. They could focus on more bomb cases (which FH2 should've focused more on) if Kevin is back for FH3.

Myolie, Ron, and Bernice seems like a big addition to the cast. Ron & Bernice would be a fresh and beautiful pairing to look forward too, while Ron and Myolie have some chemistry as a couple. With Ron being mentioned in the above news that he would be a policemen, it makes the article seem more like a rumor instead to me. Since Ron is known for his role in The Academy I, II, and III, why would he be picked to play a cop in FH3 also? I know, it's possible of course, but wouldn't TVB consider the idea that it may be confusing for some viewers to see him as a cop in another serie, not to imagine how they would probably milk another sequel out of the third installment too?

The article also talks about focusing back on Bobby-Yoyo's relationship in FH3, but I think their relationship was actually written very well in FH2. I like how they were strong as a couple, and there were many scenes that show them as a loving couple. I never did like them as a couple in FH1 since they were rushed and seemed more one-sided to me. Also, the ratings weren't too bad for this serie. They weren't through the roof, but I think FH is the 4th highest rating serie of the year so far. I do agree with the article that the cases in FH2 were not very interesting and easy to solve though, so they should definitely focused on that.

What do you think? Keep the cast of FH2 or dump Frank-Charmaine-Kevin for younger blood Myolie-Ron-Bernice?

Siu Sung & Siu Fa Dan Series over the years...

What is this?
Ever since the year 2000, many young TVB Siu Sungs and Siu Fa Dans were given the opportunity to star in many series, but how many series are they truly a part of? How many series have they starred with each other? Thus, I decided to do some research of my own.

Although Wikipedia may not be the most accurate source to go for information, it was the fastest source to get information and what the heck, this is just for fun. So I went to the Chinese Wikipedia pages of the actors and actresses and tabulated the TVB serie they were a part of. Those serie in which they were a part of as leading or supporting were counted. For other series, I used my best judgment to consider whether they are just cameos and or have enough speaking scenes in the serie to consider it as one of their serie they are truly a part of.


Why were only these 10 people chosen?
For one, from what I have seen, these 10 people have been involved in a lot of TVB series since 2000. For two, they are all my top favorite TVB actors and actresses. Thus, these are my top choices to do some fast search on.

For those wondering why Michelle Yip is not on the list, I did not include her because she is not part of TVB anymore, but mostly, because she is not part of my favorites list and these ten actors and actresses are.




*Credits go to Chinese Wikipedia pages of respective actors & actresses listing their series
*The ones in parenthesis are the series I am not sure whether to count it as per their serie


What does the graph show?
I have included the series the TVB actors and Actresses are a part of due to leading, supporting, or having enough speaking scenes to consider the serie as one of their series.

The X indicates the respective actor or actress starring in the serie. The X in parenthesis indicates these are the serie in which I am not sure whether to really count as one of their series.

The total # of series I have counted are listed at the bottom, including those in parenthesis. In parenthesis is the # of series that I am not sure whether to truly count it as one of their serie. Thus, you could subtract the number in parenthesis to get the # that I think for sure they have a pretty big role in.

If you would like to take a view of the chart, save the picture and then use a program to zoom in. I am not able to make it bigger.


Some Interesting Results/Trends
1. There are 108 TVB series included in this list, counting new TVB series that has not been shown but that I have read on various news articles that they have finished filming, in the process of filming, or will film for sure. That means, these 10 actors and actresses have starred in over 108 series whether individually or co-starring with one another.

2. Using the total # of series from each respective artist (counting the series in parenthesis), the average # of series for these ten actors and actresses was 18.2

3. For the male actors, Bosco seems to have the most # of series, while Ron has the least # of series (counting the # in parenthesis).

4. For the female actresses, Tavia seems to have the most # of series, while Bernice seems to have the least # of series (counting the # in parenthesis).





5. The serie which starred the highest # of these ten actors and actresses was Find the Light starring five artistes : Ron, Bosco, Tavia, Shirley, Leila. Series starring four out of ten artistes include Twins of Brothers, Brink of Law, Survivor's Law, Triumph in the Skies, Twins of Brothers, Moonlight Resonance, and The Four.

6. Ron & Sammul seems to have co-starred the most together out of the five guys with 5 series, while Ron & Bosco seems to have co-starred the least with one serie.

7. Tavia & Leila seems to have co-starred the most together out of the five gals with three series, while Bernice & Tavia seems to never have co-star with each other before.

8. Raymond & Tavia seems to have co-starred the most together, with 7 series (including non-couple series). Kenneth & Tavia seems to never have co-star with each other.

9. Out of 108 series, 45 series are ancient. That means a majority of the series these ten actors & actresses have filmed are modern series. However, this varies for each respective actor and actresses.

10. Theres are about 20 grand productions these ten artistes have starred in.

11. So who actually is the Ratings King and Queen of these ten? Well, I don't know for sure. I originally wanted to do research on this but as I can not find the average ratings of their series, I was not able to see. From observations of this chart, I find it interesting that the male actors overall seems to star in more "hit series" (based on ratings hype I've read from news articles) than the female actresses. Wonder if that is part of the reason TVB is promoting more of newer actresses like Linda Chung, Kate Tsui, Fala Chen, Selina Li etc.




Don't Take the Results Too Seriously
Please do not take these results seriously. For one, for some series that I have not seen, I do not know whether these actors or actresses have a lot of screen time to actually call the serie as one of their serie. Of course, the leading and supporting roles are counted, but I have not watched all 100+ series these actors & actresses starred in, and I do not have photographic memory. Some of them are just based on guesses, and others could be bias due to what amount is considered a cutoff point to include the serie as theirs. For example, I counted Shirley in Forensics Heroes II as one of her series(although in parenthesis), but I did not count Ron in Aqua Heroes or Kenneth in The Last Breakthrough although they did have speaking scenes in those series.

If you note some errors or feel that a serie should be counted, please inform me so that I could make the changes to the list. Notice any other trends, leave your comments!

***********************************
I just immediately love this song when I first heard it. It's so romantic and makes me wonder if I'll ever meet that special someone that I would feel the same way, and who would feel the same way about me too, like in the song. Although I am not a huge, huge fan of Bosco and Myolie, I can't help but think that this song is really what they feel about each other in reality...especially with the part "Cherishing is like seasoning"....and seasoning reminds me about how Bosco really likes to cook and how Myolie likes to eat too...

Myolie in Burning Flame 3?

Asianfanatics: Kevin will cooperate with Myolie Wu in Burning Flame 3

Keep in mind that this news has not been confirmed. This piece of info was found from a piece of article at this Baidu site. I like Myolie, so I am glad if she is able to participate in such a grand production. However, I am not very happy with the idea that she might potentially pair up with Bosco again. Sure, they have only paired up twice with War of in Laws, but all these rumors of them are constantly in the news, and it's getting annoying seeing the two of them together. Not to mention how much more gossip/rumors there would probably be after War of in Laws 2. They really need to take a break from each other from series since they have so much rumors with their personal lives. Give the audience a break. After all, they have plenty of opportunities to pair with each other in the distant future. I really hope that they would both pair up with different people in BFIII, if Myolie is indeed in it. Heck, I don't even mind seeing him with Kate Tsui, Fala, or even a newer actress.

What does everyone think?
