Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) made a special appearance in Tsim Sha Tsui to attend an event for an English exam program. The Most Popular Male Character winner is currently filming the TVB crime drama Burning Hands <乘勝狙擊>, and will be heading over to Macau soon for some additional photography. As filming won’t end until mid-July, Ruco said he is mentally prepared for the heat. Burning Hands is a suspense drama about a band of con artists coming together to solve an embezzling case. Ruco plays a gifted con artist, while Rosina Lam (林夏薇) plays his opponent and later girlfriend. At the beginning of filming, Ruco and Rosina revealed that they would have many intimate scenes together. Rosina even disclosed that they had a scene where they were stripped naked. However, Ruco said the moments were all done according to television broadcast guidelines. “As extreme as some of them may be, they would never surpass Chow Yun-fat (周潤發) and Carol Cheng (鄭裕玲) scenes!” he said. Nonetheless, Ruco remarked that television restrictions can be quite suffocating nowadays, saying, “We have to keep the coarse dialogue to a minimum. It feels like my hands and legs are being tied.” Singer Vangie Tang (鄧穎芝), who was originally cast in an upcoming TVB drama, was allegedly dropped from the new show after she signed a contract to film Viu TV’s reality show G-1 Fight Club <G-1 格鬥會>. Ruco said he’s never heard about the rumor. “There’s probably a deal between TVB and her record label. I don’t know such classified information.” In regards to the news that many former ATV artists were able to appear on TVB in an unrestricted fashion, Ruco said the two matters are incomparable. Ruco is happy to see competition at an all-time high in the industry, and is ecstatic to see so many former artists returning to TVB dramas. The increase in competition could make Ruco lose out on certain opportunities, but Ruco is not worried about that at all. “As a junior we can never surpass our seniors. It’ll be meaningless to give me the award.” He added that veteran actors like Liu Kai-chi (廖啟智) and Gallen Lo (羅嘉良) are solid actors, and they deserve all the spotlight they need. Would Ruco follow Gallen’s footsteps and tackle the mainland industry? Ruco laughed and said, “I’ve had enough of that when I was younger. The big tree has better shade now. I’m walking backwards!” Creds: Oriental Daily
