Despite Kevin Cheng’s (鄭嘉穎) continued popularity and pulling strong ratings in Ghetto Justice 2 <怒火街頭 2>, he may have to move aside for Moses Chan (陈豪) in this year’s TVB Best Actor Award race. TVB may have set the stage for Moses’ impending win with several factors playing in his favor. Moses’ next TVB drama, The Last Steep Ailment <天梯> produced by Lee Tim Shing (李添勝) is set to broadcast in September. With this drama airing at such an opportune time, Moses Chan has a good chance to become TV King! Kevin is Moses’ Main Competition In a telephone interview, Moses was asked if he is fighting to become TV King. He said, “I really haven’t thought about awards. It is not something that I can plan. It’s too premature to even contemplate it!” Regarding his confidence in the award, he simply replied, “It’s the same.” Asked which actors were his competition, Moses said, “Kevin is okay.” Moses added that he was unafraid to be compared to Kevin, “We are colleagues and friends, so I don’t mind the comparison. The more talent a company has the better! There’s enough room for everybody to flourish. I also don’t mind if somebody is better than me. It just means that I have to work harder!” Moses Earned $30 Million Even if Moses does not win the TV King award this year, he is already a financial winner. It was estimated conservatively that Moses had already earned $30 million HKD this year from seven commercials, stage events, promotional events held at malls, as well as fees from filming dramas. Recently, Moses earned an additional seven-figure sum from a real estate advertising event. Although he had just finished filming, Moses still looked refreshed while appearing at the function. He entertained the audience with magic tricks and juggled lemons. As an inexperienced drinker, he even participated in wine tasting which caused his face to become extremely flushed. In the last scene, he was required to go into the water. With slim opportunities to go into the water during filming, Moses said that he enjoyed the experience. Currently Working Hard to Get Married Asked if he had indeed earned $30million dollars, Moses laughingly said, “It’s just a figure. I won’t talk about the actual numbers.” When asked how Moses would sustain his wealth, he responded, “Buying real estate is the most practical, but timing is also important.” Asked if he is purchasing a big house so he can get married, Moses replied, “Thank you for all the wishes. I also hope to, but I’m currently working hard on it.” Was he working on his proposal? “I never said that. Just know that I’m working hard. Ha Ha!” The Last Steep Ailment also stars Moses’ girlfriend, Aimee Chan (陈茵媺) alongside Maggie Cheung (張可頤), Kenny Wong (黃德斌), Joel Chan (陳山聰), and Edwin Siu (蕭正楠). With such a talented cast, The Last Steep Ailment will sure become the next hot topic for discussion in September! Creds: Sing Tao
Because TVB is so bias towards this TVB King, it doesn't matter if they have good acting skills. It's about links (building that relationship) in this entertainment circle.
