The Gem of Life cast to France [news]...

to film scenes for the 80 episode series... paris???

news translation:
Moses Chan says 'Knitting Bernice' is Kawaii (Cute)

Moses Chan, Linda Chung and other cast members from "Jewel's Splendor" were spotted at Hong Kong airport earlier as they prepared to set off to France to film on location. As Moses is currently appearing in the hit series "Heart of Greed", many fans called out his character's nickname 'Dak Dak Dei' and pulled him over for photos. Some female fans even asked for a hug. He says that they will be in France for at least two weeks and hopes to try the local Bordeaux red wine.

As for the recent reports that rumoured girlfriend Bernice Liu will be knitting him a jumper, Moses smiles sweetly and says: "That cover is very sweet! Great promotion!" Asked if he will be building a love nest with Bernice, he says: "The news about my apartment broke ages ago. It is just an investment." Linda says that she will be rushing back for a "Heart" promotion, so she will only be in France for two days and she reveals that she will be taking the crew out to karaoke when she returns together with Raymond Lam.

bernice also replied to the rumor when she attended a movie premiere...

news translation:
With rumoured boyfriend Moses Chan having been linked recently with Linda Chung and Ada Choi in gossip, there have been reports that she has been trying to win him back by knitting him a jumper. Bernice says that she had learned to knit a scarf in the past, but this time she is learning to knit a jumper. So will she be giving her loving creation to Moses? She smiles that she is knitting a unisex design that is only one size. When the reporters suggest that Moses would be very happy to receive this as a gift, Bernice smiles that this is her first one, so of course she will give it to her parents and it depends how it turns out when it is finished.

news translation:
Moses Chan and Ada Choi: We are Brothers!

Whilst filming for "Jewels Splendor" in Phuket earlier, Moses Chan and Ada Choi became linked in rumours after spending a couple of hours alone together in a cave. Attending an event for Estee Lauder yesterday, Moses joined models Xiong Dailin, Kathy Chow and Rosemary, who all presented him with a blown kiss. Talking about his secret rendezvous with Ada, Moses immediately adopted his 'Sai Bau' character from "Heart of Greed" and said: "Aiya! I am a good boy!" He clarifies that there were other people on the trip to the cave, including Kenny Wong and some crew: "Only Ada and I were photographed and I believe that the audience are clear about this, Ada and I are good brothers!" As for Bernice responding to this incident with: "As long as they are happy, it's okay." Moses just laughed.

Since the airing of "Heart", Moses's workload has increased greatly, but he has not put up his fee. Asked if he will buy himself a gift to reward himself, he says that he has considered buying property, saying he has already bought his own love nest!

Ada returned with the crew from Thailand ealrier and she also indicated the same story as Moses, saying there were other people there and she is not worried about being branded as the 'third party' and affecting her image: "This is all fictional gossip and you just laugh after reading it." On an interview with Cha Siu Yan, Ada jokes that she had a 'secret date' with Moses when they went for a big French meal. As for whether she is afraid of Bernice misundersanding, she says: "I don't want anyone to misunderstand."

# of times on the cover:
6 times

Entered the business:
In 1994 he starred in his first movie Twenty Something, entering the business. In 2000 he joined TVB.

10 years change: more chances
"From the movies to series, I have got more chances. The most special series to me were: Healing Hands II, Where the Legend Begins, and Family Man because it showed more sides of me."

The next 10 years: being a boss
"I don't want to be concerned about my finance, that's why I have to make a plan: I want to do business, I haven't made my first step yet. But I hope to do something in the coffee market. Even though I will retire, I still want to stay in the entertainment business until I'm very old."

Favorite cover:
No. 437
"I remember it was for The Charm Beneath, I like the feeling of wearing a rich man's clothes. And it also reminds of Chow Yun Fat in Shanghai Tan, it made me look handsome."

Some suggestions:
"Tabloids used to publish normal news, but now they use rumors to promote the series. I like the old way better, because series didn't need promotion if the story was unique enough."

Moses Chan Distances Himself from the Flirt Queens

After being linked recently in rumours to flirt queen Fala Chen, Moses Chan shakes his head and denies strenuously any relationships, so surely this will put rumoured girlfriend Bernice Liu's mind at rest!

With relatively few items of gossip over the years, Moses has been linked with "Heart of Greed" co-stars Fala Chen and Linda Chung in recent rumours, however in his own words, this was well within his calculations: "After so long in the industry, I have not had much experience of rumours, so when there is a series out, then there will be some reports written." As for the two ladies, Moses is full of compliments: "Linda is very hardworking, but she can relax a bit more. Fala is very intelligent and has a good grounding. They are both good co-stars. (Any chemistry off-screen?) Of course not!"

"Heart" has brought a great affection from the viewers towards the veterans Lee Si Kei, Ha Yu and Susanna Kwan and in comparison, the younger actors have faded into the background. Moses says: "Of course, Si Kei, Susanna and 'Dai Bau' Ha Yu were truly outstanding and I have learned a lot from them and it was my happiest time ever in my history of filming."

Honing his acting skills against the great veterans and also sparring among his peers such as Raymond Lam and Bosco Wong, Moses praises the producer for some excellent arrangements, so there was never any clash between the three young male leads: "There were no conflicts of interest between the three of us and we all had a chance to shine because our storylines were different and there was no clash in screentime. (You are not ambitious enough?) Maybe I am a more reserved person, so I rarely socialise and give people that illusion. In fact, I am someone who is constantly ambitious."

The Gem of Life cast to Thailand [news]...

news translation:
Bosco Wong and Moses Chan joined the cast of "Jewel's Splendor", including Ada Choi and Queenie Chu, setting off to film on location in Phuket in Thailand...

...

With their series "Heart of Greed" doing well and the dinner parties coming one after another, Moses smiles that he has offered his services as a spokesperson for abalone. However, Moses sighs that whilst filming for "Heart", he violated a traffic regulation and was given 8 penalty points. He forces a laugh and says: "If I can, I wish I could exchange my 8 points for 8 abalones."

Heart of Greed [promotion 6]...

a promotion and a birthday celebration for susanna kwan...

news translation:
TVB's "Heart of Greed" had filmed earlier in an abalone store and the owner invited the cast and crew members out to a special abalone and red wine banquet earlier, also celebrating Susanna Kwan's 49th birthday. Those in attendance included Lee Si Kei, Moses Chan, Tavia Yeung and Bosco Wong. For her birthday wish, Susanna hopes for good health and world peace.

...

Tavia and Moses presented some jewellery and red wine to Susanna as a birthday gift and Moses explained that as he did not have time to go shopping for a gift, he chose a bottle of red wine from his own collection to present to her. As for recent rumours that Linda Chung has been 'sticking' to him and he has been giving her lifts, he smiles: "I have not given her any lifts, even if I did, it was 'dak dak dei' (his character's nickname) who was driving her." Moses admits that he is the rumour king, so when he sees other women, he will move away to avoid any more gossip.

AND

some more news about moses and linda's rumor...

Linda Chung Denies Sticking to Moses Chan

Linda Chung has had rumours recently suggesting that Moses Chan has been giving her lifts home and that she has been 'stuck' to him. Attending a celebratory party for her movie "Love is Not All Around" earlier, Linda indicates that the stories are all made up and they did not have any real photographic evidence. She says that since filming for "Heart of Greed", Moses has never given her a lift.

Linda says that she has her own driving license, but she does not have a car. As her schedule is very different to Moses, then he has never taken her home. Asked whether this is because he has a girlfriend Bernice Liu? Linda says she is not sure, but she feels that if it is on the way, there is nothing wrong with giving friends a ride. The reports suggest that she celebrated Moses's birthday with him and Linda explains that there is just a week between their birthdays and as they were filming together for "Jewel's Splendor", the producer brought out some cakes for them to celebrate their birthdays and the press immediately asked them to hug and cut the cake together. They were afraid of rumours, so they did not hug, but the stories still broke.

Does she feel that Moses is her ideal boyfriend? Linda feels that Moses is a very gallant man and he treats everyone very well, but even if he is good, he may not be suitable for her and they can just be friends. Her ideal man is someone who is down-to-earth, stable, ambitious, sophisticated and has a good heart.
