"Predicting Fate"
The studio blessing ceremony took place for TVB's new series "Predicting Fate", attended by cast members Steven Ma, Shirley Yeung, Brian Wong and producer Tsui Yu On. The other leading male Benny Chan called the producer just before the event to advise he would not be attending due to illness.
Reports suggest that since this series started filming, there have been incidents of people arriving late and leading to delays in shoots. When Steven was asked to verify this, he immediately said: "I am a very punctual person myself, but those who are late make it very unfair to those who arrive on time. Sometimes being 30 minutes late is acceptable, but you cannot be two or three hours late all the time. I know that some of the directors have reflected this back to the producer, who has taken steps to ensure that morale is maintained." Steven suggests that to encourage punctuality, they should introduce fines for those who arrive late. He says: "Even $1 a minute would be good, we can use the money to buy food for everyone else. (Are you not afraid this will spoil the relationship between artistes?)This is about attitude to work and have those who arrive late ever spared a thought for the other people? I am targeting the situation and not the person, so I am not afraid."
As for Shirley, she indicates that she has not been hindered by tardy colleagues and says: "I have never experienced waiting several hours for one person. Normally it happens when it is rainy and this can't be helped. However, if Steven launches the fine system, then I will support him." Producer Tsui indicated that Benny was absent due to illness, but he will be coming in to film at 8pm. He says: "Maybe he has been working too hard for the past few days, but I will find out what has happened. (Are there often people arriving late on this series?) It is not just him, there are many people who are late, men and women and not just him. I will address this with them individually."
