[Correction] Raymond Wong Welcomes Son Kayden

Congratulations!

Since Raymond Wong announced he is a dad-to-be at last December's TVB Anniversary Awards, people have been guessing the gender of his first child. Most people guessed it would be a boy because of the masculine English name Kayden. And they're right.

The actor's wife gave birth to a 7lb baby boy on March 23. Other TVB colleagues have been giving their blessings to the new dad, including TVB high executive Virginia Lok. His good friend Raymond Cho also knew about the news and expressed he already gave the newborn a present already.

Currently filming a new drama with Niki Chow, the 35-year-old daddy persisted in announcing this good news next week. He didn't confirm it today but sounded happy over the phone.

"I will accept your congratulation!"

Because it's mistaken he welcomed a daughter yesterday, Raymond confirmed it today his wife actually gave birth to a son.

"I don't want to bother my wife, so I didn't want to talk about it and didn't say whether it's a boy or a girl. I really don't mind actually."

He said he will be releasing the baby photos to the media by next week.

TVB Anniversary Feature: Raymond Wong

Raymond Wong Ho Yin (黃浩然) was a movie person for many years. His handsomeness certainly brought him attention and job opportunities. The actor was discovered by director Johnnie To in late 90s and had a smooth film career since then: Needing You, Wu Yen, Love Undercover, Colour of the Truth, etc.

But in fact, his acting was actually not good, as confirmed by his mentor Johnnie To. The film industry was going down at the same time, causing this movie person to have a decline in jobs. Then he decided to focus on the small screen to improve his acting skills and joined TVB in 2007.

He was fortunate to star in supporting roles when he just joined the big family. But in the first few series, he was still restricted to play handsome guys.

However, his role as Wu 2 Siu in Sweetness in the Salt (2009) made a turning point in his TV career---audience, especially the female audience, were very touched by his role [no spoilers from Kay :P].

Within 3 years, he already has a chance to be one of the leads in TVB series, an opportunity many supporting actors have been waiting for a long time. His lead role as Turbo in When Lanes Merge (2010) is praised by the audience. Now he is filming another series as the lead: The Truth (direct translation from 真相).

Besides playing a handsome guy, he has played other types of roles, like a shy guy who would sweat when he gets nervous in A Watchdog's Tale (2009) and a smart murderer in Mysteries of Love (2010), So, is it time for him to get nominated as "Most Vastly Improved Actor" in this year's anniversary awards?

'No Regrets' Debuts With Average Rating 32 Pts Only

One of the most anticipating TVB series of the year "No Regrets" is finally on air. It was premiered last night after the anniversary lightning ceremony. Everyone has high expectations on the premier and lead Wayne Lai even expects average rating of the premier would be 38 points. However, the result is only 32 points, peaking 36 points, but it's already better than the series' first installment "Rosy Business" last year, which received average rating of 27 points from the premier.

But the cast is not discouraged and hopes ratings in upcoming episodes would go up. "Many people said they couldn't get home on time to watch it. I believe ratings would be better if it was to air after 9PM," Wayne said at the dinner party held by actors from the series. As one of the favorites for the anniversary award "Most Improved Actor," Raymond Wong isn't too satisfied with last night's average ratings. "It could be better, but I'm confident in upcoming episodes," he said. "I won't let producer Lee Tim Sing to clean cow dung!"

In addition, netizens love to look for bloopers while they watch series, and they already dig out some. "No Regrets" sets the 1930s Guangzhou as its story setting. But some netizens pointed out the car where the police was in shouldn't exist in that time era. Some also pointed out the helmet Evergreen Mak wore in the series is not a product of that generation.

As for this accusations, Wayne explained their props are limited. "It's hard to find a police car used in Guangzhou 70 years ago. If you require that much on the props, then historical dramas are very hard to be done."

As for Charmaine Sheh's absence from the anniversary award ceremony increased Sheren Tang's chance of winning TV Queen, Sheren expressed at the dinner party last night the rumor isn't true. "How could people not win if they miss the show? If she won, the company would ask her to come back from work," she said. She also said she has work in Mainland that night and would return to Hong Kong if necessary.
