Raymond’s UpClose and Personal Interview



18/07/2006

Raymond Lam has been living a busy life in Shanghai for the past 6 months, and though the hunky star flies back to Hong Kong now and again, Raymond just cannot wait to settle back down in his home country, this is according to yesterday's Entertainment Shanghai's "UpClose and Personal Interview with Raymond Lam".

Raymond has been very busy filming two mainland series in the duration of 6 months, but fortunately had a chance to speak to Entertainment Shanghai before returning to Hong Kong to film his new 40 episode series starring alongside Moses Chan, Yoyo Mung, Bosco Wong, Tavia Yeung and Linda Chung.

When Raymond was asked about his time in Shanghai, he replied saying, "It's been a very interesting journey, I've made a lot of friends over here, and I think that I've been considered as being Shanghainese………but on the other hand, I really miss my family and friends in Hong Kong, so I really can't wait to go back there"

After Raymond's remark, the Shanghai reporter questioned his so called "friends" as being "more than friends", and quickly hinted Tammy Chen, Raymond's co-star in "New Breath Of Love". Raymond replied quite quickly, saying, "Tammy is a very nice girl, but I don't go for that type of tea" the reporter laughed saying, "So what is your type of tea? Do you go for Shanghai ladies or just Hong Kong ladies?"…….. Raymond paused for a bit, and said, "I don't mind whether my type of tea is from the mainland or from Hong Kong, but I think it would be easier for me if I had someone that could talk moderately good Cantonese……… ummmm but apart from that, my type of tea has to be outgoing, loves having fun, and for some reason I really like girls with long hair………. and finally I love mature yet sometimes immature girls……" the Shanghai reporter then sighed saying, "unfortunately I have short hair……."

The final part of the interview was asking about Raymond's upcoming plans when he returns straight to Hong Kong. Raymond was very excited to say that he had two series waiting to air in Hong Kong, one being Face to Fate and the other being Tai Chi………..when asked about his upcoming leading ladies, Raymond had a bitter sweet smile upon his face………the Shanghai reporter gave Raymond some names of his next set of leading ladies such as Selina Li (whom stars alongside Raymond in Face to Fate), Myolie Wu (whom stars alongside Raymond in Tai Chi), Linda Chung (whom will star alongside Raymond in the new 40 episode drama), Yoyo Mung ( whom will star alongside Raymond in new 40 episode drama) and lastly, Tavia Yeung ( whom stars alongside Raymond in Face to Fate, and also will be joining Raymond in the 40 episode series). Raymond laughed replying, "Selina is a really nice girl, and she’s a really good newcomer, Linda and Yoyo I haven’t actually worked with before, but I'm looking forward to it, Myolie is a good friend of mine since Survivor's Law, so it was really easy for us to work together” The Shanghai reporter cut through the conversation saying, "Ok, so lastly Tavia, I'm actually a really big fan of Tavia since Twin of Brothers, and I've noticed that you have been in a number of series with Tavia Yeung…………but really haven't actually been paired with her much……are you paired with her in your new series?"

Raymond gave the question some thought, before answering that, "I will be paired up with Tavia, whether or not I will end up with her is still a mystery, because I haven't looked through the whole script yet, but apart from Tavia I'm also paired with Linda and Yoyo……Tavia is really kind-hearted and such a free spirit, and I've had so much fun working with her during my years in TVB. I know that there are many fans of Kau Chong and Sau Ling since Twin of Brothers, like yourself (to reporter) ………and even I thought that it was unfortunate for the two characters to end their relationship in that way, but I guess its not for me to decide"

Entertainment Shanghai reporter ended the interview by thanking Raymond Lam, wishing him a safe trip home and good wishes with his career, also adding that he has to come back to Shanghai for more series!
