The clip you mention is this one right (with cannibalism theme)? (I don't have Astro, so just want to make sure we are on the same page )

This is just a sales presentation clip. Annually in November, TVB will hold a sales presentation gala where they invite sponsors and media to preview their planned series for next year. Half of it are trailers of series which they already filmed, while some of it are proposed series.

Heaven & Earth (天与地) was proposed series... TVB only filmed a 2 mins clip to attract media and sponsors. The cast in the clip are not confirmed nor obliged to film the series (if approved for production), though the role is tailor-made for Nick Cheung.

Due to 'schedule clash', Nick Cheung pulled out from the production. There were rumors that because he won Best Actor, he was swamped with movie offers... True or not, I'm a bit bummed he's not filming lor...

The known cast list so far is Moses Chan, Bowie Lam, Charmaine Sheh, Maggie Shiu and Kenny Wong.

Sound familiar? Because the producer is Chik Kei Yi, who produced War & Beauty, Dance of Passion, Gem of Life, Healing Hands 2&3... therefore his main cast are quite regulars.



The original title used for the clip is 《绝地击情》, now changed to 天与地. The title might change again later

tat time i watch preview frm AOD also called 天与地 dy...
but preview i see got nick cheung...isn't it wasting time?filmed some scenes dy then said no time...
wat i heard is his wife will also going to start to film a new drama..so either one need to sacrifice to jaga their daughter

Oic..Nick "owe" TVB few dramas' "debts", that's why he has to "pay back" to TVB, that's the reason he is coming back TVB for drama.

His wife Ester Kwan already help him "pay back" some drama "debts" to TVB already (shooting the long episodes of tong shi sam fun chan)

Now Ester take some rest, and it is time Nick come back and "pay back" the remaining drama "debt" that he owed TVB before he went for his movie career

Esther already filmed a new series with Roger Kwok, already finish filming last month I think.

i see...so noe esther and nick is free now

they both don't have contract tied with TVB but Esther shooting drama to help her husband to pay back the drama debts.

Yeah, Louise Koo owed alot of too....

there are few ex-TVB actors who went for movie career owe TVB few drama debts too...

that's why I said, Nick is the luckiest guy on earth. Wife helping him to pay back TVB drama debts while he can concentrate his movie career or look after their child

Something like Drive Of Life, Moonlight Resonance, Gem or Life?

20% Plot progress
80% Dragging

I presume...

i hope they wun make it very draggy lor...how many epsiodes?30?or 40?
dramas more than 30 episode usually will be a draggy drama
only those frm 90s or older are the best

i usually like dramas with long episodes de..like 40 episodes.. for big production drama, it is essential to develop the character's personality..
comedy is suitable for 20 episodes..

but if long,they will make it more draggy....and they will add those A love b and b love c stories into it..n its boring...20 is more than enough,IMO

btw thr got 1 guy inside DIE Again look alike Nicholas Tse

nobody watch stew of life? i havent started as well.

D.I.E Again - i hated the part where they twist the relationship between the Cheng Yi and the Madam Ying's sister. still like the first D.I.E

stew of life is a 师奶 drama.... quite boring but bcoz i like fala a lot, so i watched the drama

Ok la...Not bad...I like how they Fight Roger Law...

watched 1 episode only

the story is predictable

duh...

i think the heaven and earth drama is a bit like movie "Alive" is it?

looks like fruitie really no time to update this page.... the 1st page is sooooooo out dated~

yawor....fruitie forget bout us jor

oh yeah..speaking about TVB drama

where's Lawrence Ng? Long time didn't see him acting already? He no longer with TVB already? or already retired?

D.I.E. Again is really quite interesting especially the cases. Some of the cases are very refreshing. How I wish it has more episodes instead of 25 only.

As for The Stew of Life, it's quite okay. Light-hearted drama. Suitable to watch when stress. But I still wonder how it manage to have 30 episodes. Haha. Wonder what's going to happen to fill in 30 episodes. But anyway, I'll watch it. :-)
