Last year, not only did Raymond Lam consolidated his position as one of the top young actors at TVB with his popular role “Goon Ga Jai” in “Moonlight Resonance”, a couple of years ago he also entered the music industry, rapidly raising as a singer. This year besides releasing his third album, he also held his first concert at the HK Coliseum. However, he hasn’t had any notable works in the movie industry! After filming “Stolen Love” with Rain Li in 2002, he hasn’t filmed any movies since. Now that he has achieved some results in the TV and music industries, he has thoughts of conquering the movie industry as well. Recently there had been discussions with him starring in two movies. Since the “Siu” movie company is producing again, does he plan to step into the movie industry as well, developing as a music/movie/TV artiste?

Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung caused a stir in Central, Hong Kong
TVB new series [State the Case] had an outdoor scene filmed in Central (near a restaurant) last friday (31 July).

As required in the series, Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung were both seen dressed in autumn clothing despite the temperature creeping into the thirtees, not even a faint puff of wind on that night, Tavia even brought her personal cooling fan. On the other hand, Raymond who was wearing a shirt and tie, was constantly wiping his puddle of sweat. He even used his mobile phone as a mirror to comb his hair and to replenish his make-ups.

Just shortly through the filming, there were more and more onlookers gathering by the roadside just to catch a glimpse of the stars, so much so police were called in to keep the crowd in order. The crew had to expedite the filming, so that they could leave the place soonest possible.

Raymond Lam reveals his relationship secrets
Fung recently completed his first concert “Endless Love Let’s Get Wet”. At the concert he played with water, selling his passionate side, and also sang love songs, revealing his romantic side. He also invited many guests, revealing his friendships. As what he had said, his first concert had “love” as a theme, but during the concert while we saw different types of “Fung love”, that is only on the surface, what about inside? To promote his “love” themed concert and new album, Fung revealed a lot about his thoughts during the interview. Surprisingly he didn’t use his typical “official” answers talking about work, he actually talked a bit about everything. Even didn’t mind talking about his shortcomings!
Satisfaction
Fung recently completed his first two concerts, for a first timer, objectively it was quite good. At least no one complained about it online after watching it. It didn’t have many negative responses. “We didn’t have a lot of time rehearsing this concert, because I had to film a series, record the new album, luckily there weren’t many mistakes during my performance! I give myself a 80 for my performance, quite happy with it! But after two shows, I discovered some pain in my waist, I think it was because I pushed too hard during dancing! Actually two shows wasn’t enough, I wanted to add shows, the company also said they can consider holding a Part 2 concert. No matter whether Part 2 does go ahead, I’m already very satisfied since I have only been a singer for two years and was able to hold a concert at the Coliseum!”
Family comes first
We don’t know whether concert part 2 will go ahead that soon, but Fung cannot rest yet. He needs to go back to film the series, really busy! Actually being in the industry for ten years, Fung is already very popular in the television circle. He is busy working every day and doesn’t have a lot of time for his family, this caused him to feel quite bad about it.
“I value my family a lot, my family always come first. My family is very warm, mum and dad love me a lot. Even though we don’t see each other a lot, they will always care about me, and make me feel very warm and special. Sometimes my mum will stay at my place for a few days, and make soups for me. But every year besides Chinese New Year, I can’t spend long periods of time with my family. So I always tell my manager to not take jobs during holidays, would rather spend time with my family than earning money. I remember when I was young the whole family would go on holidays, hopefully this year we can go on a family holiday, be away for 8 or 10 days!” Fung rarely talks about his family, but inside he values them a lot.
Friendships the strongest
Besides his family being important, it seems friendships are also important to Fung, because he had said before, “In TVB, who is not familiar with me?” Can see Fung has many friends after filming series for many years. So does he think he is a good friend?
“I usually let my friends make decisions, can alter my plans to suit them. Like organising group functions I am normally not the organiser. But I will help them, following their instructions. For long periods of time I have to fly to different places for filming, so my family cannot be beside me, so my friends are very important. I have many friends in the entertainment circle, but for those outside the industry, like my old classmates I still keep in touch with them. When they have birthday parties, sometimes I have to work and can’t go, but I will definitely buy presents for them. I have even couriered a present to their companies too!
Sacrificing for love
In everyone’s eyes Fung is rich and handsome so he should have lots of girlfriends. But he said he hasn’t dated for 10 years, is he really that dry? “For me, dating is not about finding someone to fill up time. I think if two people haven’t spent time together and get to know each other, then they’re not really dating. Since I have focused on working, I haven’t had time to develop a relationship. Love is very important to me, I hope I can start a family in the future, but at this moment I haven’t found the right person yet. If I can really meet the right person, I don’t mind altering my working schedule to be with her. At the end of the day I have to give up some things to spend more time with her, but it will really be worth it!”
