Raymond Lam two strengths against one
This year Raymond has 3 series “The Master of Tai Chi”, “Moonlight Resonances” and “The Four” that aired, ranging from Pre-Modern to Modern and then going from Modern to Ancient. He’ll be depending on his role Goon Ka Jai in “Moonlight Resonance” to become the TV King this year, he is also a hot choice, chances are high.

Raymond said in high confidence: “Each year during the anniversary I hope to get something, this year I won a lot of audiences hearts and besides that I have also learned a lot. The award I definitely hope for! I put a lot of effort into filming, my performance is not bad. Within the series, “Tai Chi” is one of my favorites, I keep it in my series collection; “Goon Ka Jai” the role was difficult to portray because he’s just way too nice, need to be careful on how to display emotions. But, this year I’m most satisfied with being able to play different types of roles, from ancient to pre-modern to modern. I hope that the audience will like.”

Portraying “Goon Ka Jai” Lots of Effort
As to Goon Ka Jai’s role could either bring him the TV King title and the Most Favorite Character award, Raymond said: “At the beginning I was worried that audiences were too absorbed in Heart of Greed’s Ching Leung. But in reality the two characters are not the same and they don’t have any connection, fortunately when the series first aired, audiences quickly adapted to the new series. Have to give credit to the scriptwriters for the hard work and also to the whole entire crew’s hard work and contribution to the series!”

How did he shape the personality of Goon Ka Jai? Raymond said: “Eaerlier I never played this type of character before, I was very worried that I would not create a comfortable feeling to the audience, and not to mention convincing. The way was to pay attention to every move. I’m very happy that friends and family praised my performance because I originally am not that type of person. This successful portrayal of Goon Ka Jai definitely includes blood and sweat.

Broadcast department did not deliberately arranged what it did
When audiences were chasing for the finale of “Moonlight”, TVB arranged “The Four” to broadcast next and also his new album was also releasing at the same time. This caused Raymond’s exposed to be at its maximum, audiences were so supportive that they became curious as to if TVB arranged for Raymond to get the TV King title this year. Raymond said: “It’s not deliberately arranged for The Four to air after Moonlight. “The Four” had already completed its filming for some time and my album was in a rush for its release. Truthfully, since I’ve been in the industry until now, its rare for my series to release one after another, fortunately now I have an opportunity to show everyone another side of me.”

Having dinner with Executives Very Normal
As for Raymond’s road to the TV King title, he has been having rumors with Ha Yu, who also is in the race for the same title depending on the same series – Moonlight. As they were father and son in the series, this stirred up the name “Struggle between Father-Son”.

There were reports that said Raymond invited Executives out for dinner, Ha Yu tried to exchange a contract for the award, the two both using their own strategies? Raymond said: “Having dinner with executives is often, its just that recently I’m free from filming series so I have some space in my schedule. Not just my colleagues or people in my company, later on I hope to invite some of my old classmates out for a gathering. As this year’s finalist are all very strong, this year’s male actors competition is very fierce.”

Cosmogirl November 2008 – Best Family Man Ever
I’m not the housewife who lives in Ngau Tau Kok, so when I see Roger Kwok on the streets I won’t see him as the enemy who cheats on insurance. But it’s difficult to deny that TV series have an ability to change perceptions in real life. Because the first time we saw Lam Fung, we immediately match him with his character “Goon Ga Jai” from “Moonlight Resonance”, believing him to be a person who looks after his family. Even though he may not wake up at 4am to make egg tarts, and won’t sing “Needing you every minute” on the streets using sign language, but still believe he will love his home, take care of his family, if he’s free he will rest at home, if something happens to a family member there will be a family meeting, and taking great care of his siblings….
As a result, the instincts given by the TV series are very accurate. All of those hypothesis were correct, the only incorrect part is that he definitely doesn’t love his older brother and older sister, because at home he is already the eldest.

Interview with Lee Heung Kam (Grandma) & Raymond Lam
When the 76 year old Lee Heung Kam meets the 29 year old Lam Fung, what is the result? If there is a generation gap every 3 years, then they have 16 generation gaps! But they’re surprisingly compatible, talking about food, video games, injuries…. they had a pimple on the same side, definitely admire them.

Raymond Lam: Not enough love!
Recently there hasn’t been many people who mentioned Lam Fung, but you always hear someone mention “Goon Ga Jai”. Since “Moonlight Resonance” is very popular at the moment, everyone calls Fung “Goon Ga Jai”. However, the storyline mostly revolves around family issues, so “Goon Ga Jai” doesn’t have a lot of love relationship scenes, can say there’s “Insufficient Love”!
