Well I really really like Benny Chan!! And this thread is suuuuuuuuuppppppper long. Dang. Wat have you all been talking about? I'm pretty up-to-date with Benny news, please let me join in!
Oh yeah, about dgsm96, you could go to: chanhoman.com/2004/media/tv/dgsd.htm
It's not the entire series, just key clips of the episodes.
Anyone know for sure if Benny sings the Qian Long Xia Jiang main theme song? If yes, where can I download it??
Thanks!!

Hey everyone!
Thank you, jen89ob! I'll take a look at the site later. Welcome to the forum! Actually, the second thread was fifty pages long hehehe.

Goddess jie, I don't watch many series besides TVB because after all, it feels like home. It'd be weird to see all these people I don't know in the series -_-. I'll just stick to TVB for now .

Wow, Dicky is getting married! That's interesting to me because I'm not caught up with the news . I wish them good luck .

Hey there guys Okay about the whole Bosco, Benny, Shermine, and Akina thing before. Here is an article that "confirms" Benny was there. Credit to Em at TVBSpace News Roundup http://tvbspacenews.blogspot.com

[Ta Kung Pao & The Sun]

Member of TVB's "Six Olympic Stars" Bosco Wong was filming in Beijing earlier for new series "Tossing Rain Turning Wind" and in the early hours of July 24th, was attacked whilst socialising after work with fellow colleagues, leaving his face full of blood and was immediately taken to hospital to have stitches to his wound. Afterwards, he headed back to Hong Kong for further checks and after a week of rest, he has returned to Beijing to continue filming. Before heading off to the airport, Bosco was joined by TVB production assistant director Tommy Leung in a press conference to openly explain the story behind the attack.

Bosco wore a set of sports clothes and despite wearing a cap, a scar measuring around two inches long could clearly be seen on his face at the top of his nose, where there was also a plaster. Before the reporters' questions, Bosco first described what had happened. He said: "That night, I was with Benny Chan, Akina Hong and Sherming Yiu eating in the hotel's open air cafe and some fans recognised Benny and asked for his autograph. As we were about to leave, we felt something like a wet towel being thrown in our direction. When we looked over to where it had come from, we saw a group of locals who were jeering at us. As they were speaking the Beijing dialect, we did not know what they were saying, but it was roughly complaining about us being noisy and the flashes from camera lights. We could see that they were rather drunk, so we got up to leave quickly. Benny went to pay the bill and I went with the two girls out to hail a taxi. However, the rowdy people were there on the street. Originally, the girls walked out first, but I saw these people were doing something, so I ran in front of Akina and looked around for Benny. At this time, something came towards my face and I fell over."

When asked if he had been 'glassed' as the reports suggest, he continued: "I don't know what it was, at first I thought it was a fist, but later Benny said that he saw it was a beer glass. (Did you call the police?) No, because we were all too frightened, especially me because I have never experienced having blood running down my face before. We didn't think about calling the police, as they took me to hospital immediately. (Did you fight back at the time?) No, because it was so sudden and I did not know the place well, so I never wanted to cause any trouble."

After going to hospital, the doctors helped him to stitch up the wound, but he did not ask how many stitches he had. After staying in hospital for a night, the producer Cheung Kin Man instructed him to return to Hong Kong to get checked out, so he returned the next day, but in order to get some rest, he has not made any appearances until yesterday when he wanted to give out the real story of what happened. During the interviews, Bosco was so overcome by emotion, that he could not hold back and shed some men's tears and he also revealed that when his mother heard about his incident, she immediately flew to see him in Beijing, making him feel incredibly guilty.

Bosco was asked if he was worried about ruining his good looks. He said: "At first I was worried, but the Hong Kong doctor says that I am improving well and there will not be an obvious scar. My stitches have been taken out, but I still have to put a plaster on to hold the wound in position." At this point, Tommy Leung interrupted, saying: "If he has a scar, he can always become a character actor!" To which Bosco laughed: "It doesn't matter too much to male artistes. (Will you cut down going out at night when you return to Beijing?) I will try and avoid it, but totally not going out is impossible because we have to go out to eat and buy things. Maybe we should check with the local crew before going."

As the filming schedules were changed after Bosco's accident, then the progress of filming has not been affected, but as the show will be holding its blessing ceremony in Beijing tomorrow, Bosco will be duly paying his respects and thanking the gods for helping him past this misfortune. Talking of this story having many different versions in Hong Kong with suggestions he was being cocky and causing trouble, Bosco says candidly: "I know, maybe I had some negative press in the past, so people have a bad impression of me and they naturally think of the worst when they hear news like this. I understand this and will not be mad about it, but I would like to explain it clearly now and if people can believe me, then I will be okay." As for Tommy Leung, he was very supportive of Bosco, saying: "The company has heard his explanation and feel that it was an unavoidable incident, so we should come out and explain it. These things don't just happen in China and on the whole, filming in China is safe."

As he has no ideas about who the attackers were, Bosco has no way of pursuing the matter and when Akina was asked how she would repay his protection, she laughed that she looked after him when they took him to hospital. When asked if she will give herself up to Bosco, Akina just laughed.

There were some pictures of Bosco and I think Tommy Leung, but I didn't post it. If you guys want to check it out then follow the link for Em's page

Anyways I wonder even more now how well Bosco and Benny know each other. Are the four of them good friends or something? Going out to dinner...hmmm...don't think they have filmed anything together. I know Benny and Sherming have starred, but not sure about hte other two.

Its horrible that those people would get so rowdy just because of some "noise" and publicity. Don't need to go start a fight and all. I'm very glad Benny is okay!!! hehe, can't help but smile that the fans recognized him though

[MizChi]

Hey all..
Welcome jen89ob!!

LOL..Goddess...be nice??....um...we think about it...hehe j/k
We'll be nice

Feel sorry for Bosco...got hit while protecting Akina
you_suck is rite..I think it could have been much worst, if they decided to stay longer..

Dicky is getting married! Wish him all the Best

[jen89ob]

Thanks for the welcome yall!!
Yeah, I saw the first thread for Benny while searching on the search engine (they didn't let me post tho) and .... wooo 50 pages!
The thing with Bosco is... pretty bad! yes drinking is a terrible thing. Is he filming a show with Benny? Haven't heard of that yet.
Congrats to Dicky! Finally getting married!!
Well the series I was asking about is the one where Benny is the emperor Qian Long. Yes, it's with Charmaine and it's a mainland production. I don't know if there is a real *english* subtitle to it. The forum I'm usually at {Chanhoman.com SHARE} only calls it Qian Long Xia Jiang. I have the ending theme to it but supposedly Benny sings the main theme also and I can't find it anywhere. If anyone could help-- thanks a bunchbunchbunch!!!
Also, do any of you know when Benny's CD is coming out this year? I heard he should be releasing it around Sept/Oct. True? I can't wait for it!!

[goddessofhonour]

Hey everyone

Yeah, the first Benny thread has been closed so no one can post in there anymore. Once any thread reaches 50 pages then it is closed down so a new one can be started

Okay, that serie with Charmaine, I think the english title is called Emperor Can Long Goes South or something, lol. I can't remember exactly anymore. Never saw it since it doesn't impress me so can't help you with the song. Sorry now

Well its good that everyone is okay. Sorta. At least Bosco is mending from it.

Oh, Benny's CD? A new one? Oh, I didn't know he has another CD!!!! Oh, need to find out about it, hehe. I would love to get it, but can't find any chinese CDs over here

drinking isn't a terrible thing at all... what's with him and charmane, man? aren't they like really good friends or something?.. you know sometimes charmane's characters innocence or whatever annoys me.. it's like they're a little kid and you jsut want to run up to the tv and stab the shit out of it

[jen89ob]

Drinking isn't terrible?? ah... watever.
Yep, there're lots of rumors going around that Benny and Charmaine are dating but I think they're just good friends. It's annoying how the reporters are attacking them, ya kno?
I don't like Charmaine either. Her voice is just so... squeaky. And she's all childish and stuff... yeah, I get wat you mean.

I can't get any Chinese cds over here either, Goddess! We'll just have to rely on downloading from the www! benny-chan.com has songs.

[botan]

You guys can always try ordering from Yesasia.com if you can't find Chinese cds where you live.

Yeah, Charmaine is just plain annoying. I wonder why she is so popular, doesn't seem like a lot of people like her.

I just saw the cast list for this ATV series called "Love in a Miracle" and Benny's name is listed. I wonder if that this Benny or the other Benny Chan. Anyone know? Maybe it's the other one since Benny is filming in Taiwan and I haven't heard of any news on him in an ATV series.

[goddessofhonour]

Hey there you guys

Agree, but I think its a half hal thing with Charmaine. Like either some like her or some don't. Don't think there is a sorta in there is there? I don't like her. Have to agree that a lot of her roles get to me.....

Lol, I've given up on the whole Charmaine and Benny news. Don't care about it anymore unless Benny and Charmaine both come out and "admit" or "deny" to it.

Gotta convince my dad to let me order online then. That might take a few years

Anyways about that ATV serie. Hehe, when I saw the cast list I was also a bit curious. I went to look for pictures, but didn't find any so still not sure. I would think that it would be Benny Chan of ATV though. Not our Benny It would be great if it was Benny Benny though since its been so long since he's appeared onscreen!!!

[botan]

Hi goddess!!!

Yeah, it's probably not this Benny but the other Benny. I was all excited, thought I will be able to watch him in a new series.

charaine doesn't get to me as much as her characters... like have anyone seen 7 sisters i htink thats what its called.. oh god i saw like 12 episode of it i was ready for the world to end

[rachellam]

o that china show benny acts in with charmaine is roughly translated to 'Qian Long Goes To Jiangnan'

you_suck: hey! i liked 7 sisters! it was a pretty good story, you know!!ok....now i sound childish...hahaha.....

i think the reason why people are so annoyed with charmaine is because besides being overpromoted, she plays different roles the same way....like in angels of mission, she's supposed 2 be this headstrong stubborn girl but she comes across as a headstrong and childish person....all her roles have that kinda childishness in it....but personally i think her best show wuz country spirit...it rocked!hahaha.....

ok....i noe i have been saying this a lod, but I WANT BENNY! i am on the verge of flying all the way to hk, go to tvb and DEMAND that they actually start filming a serie with benny in it...hahaha....obsessive fan i am........

[jen89ob]

Get in line??? NO.... I will KILL TO GET TO HIM!!!!! MWAHHHH!!!!!!!
Just kidding. Well about the cd thing, yep same here goddess, it'll be in forever before I can order stuff online. it's easier to download anyway.
