Producer Poon Ka Tak talks about Joey Yung, Flora Chan, Ron Ng, Myolie Wu

The majority of producers usually give a feeling of seriousness, but not the long haired Poon Ka Tak who often plays with artists when working together. Casting singers in his series is his favorite.

Tak Gor's Background
Poon Ka Tak (called Tak Gor) joined TVB's training class in 1974, his classmates including Johnnie To and Lai Shui Qing and other famous behind the scenes people; there is also Joseph Lee who is working on screen. In high school, Tak Gor had interested in many different things such as dance, music and stage play. After graduation, he spent 7 and a half years in accounting, but had always kept his interest in public performances. One time, a friend recommended him to sign up for TVB's training class, and since then he had entered the world of showbiz.

Tak Gor has produced many series including , , , , and the latest one , etc.





Casting Singers as the main leads -- praises Joey Yung
Many of Tak Gor's series had singers as the main leads like (Hacken Lee, Edmond Leung) and (Joey Yung). He said: "Using singers as the leads are not a problem because TVB are very supportive of newcomers, pushing waves after waves. The benefit of using singers as the main leads are that a fresh feeling is given to the audience and an opportunity for the singers to enter the house. (They aren't worried about their image?) If they accepted the role, then they won't. Just like Joey Yung who participated in , she did not mind playing an ugly girl and didn't mind the trouble. One time she almost fainted after so much filming.




Flora Chan
Among all the artists he worked with, Tak Gor would leave room for a breakthrough, he said: "Like Flora Chan, she gives off a very professional feeling, but in she was stuck in between two men, in the new series she plays a massage girl."



Myolie Wu and Ron Ng
As for Myolie Wu, Tak Gor praises that she has a very obedient personality. For Ron Ng, he was chosen by Tak Gor at "first sight". He said: "One time we were rehearsing, helping Edmond Leung test his costumes, I saw one of the dancers was Ron Ng, I felt that he had a pretty good outer appearance. So for , I gave him a small role to audition for, but the scene wasn't used in the actual series. It was only until that I used him as a newcomer. There were several seniors in the series to his advantage such as Francis Ng, Joe Ma and Mary Hon.

I thought this producer took a gamble taking on Flora because she had no acting experience in her bone...I'm glad he took the risk since she has been my fav fan dan since HH1 and UE.
