Joe Ma Supports Joel Chan, While Michael Tse Teases

Joe Ma, Michael Tse, Skye Chan, and other actors from "Relic of an Emissary" attended to a promotion event yesterday. Talked about Joel Chan was absent again from promotion events and was snapped hanging out with rumored girlfriend Florinda Ho in Londa, Joe gave his support to his good friend: "I don't know whether the guy in the photo is Joel. He declined to star in 'Return to Three Kingdoms' because of sickness or personal family matters, which are not good things. I hope everything is good for him."

While Joe supports Joel, fellow actor in the drama Michael teases him instead: "Was he there for the royal wedding? And coincidentally photographed by others? I know he is on a long break. (Shouldn't give up work for love?) There are many reasons to decline dramas. Moses Chan said he is opening a coffee shop. Everyone has his reasons. Twins even sings 'Love is Bigger Than Sky'." [which means love is more important than anything else]

Joe Ma Might Leave TVB, Jessica Hsuan Supports

Is Joe Ma another TVB's biological child leaving their mother company?

Joe Ma and Jessica Hsuan were filming outdoor scenes for their new drama "Flying Tigers" (tentative name). Joe expressed he doesn't have much dramas left in TVB after he finished this one. His contract with TVB is ending this year and he said no one approached him yet to talk about renewing it.

"I don't know whether I'm renewing or not," he said. "I just hope I can have a bigger market. Better salary and more good dramas to film."

His partner in the drama Jessica supports him to earn more money up in the North (Mainland).

"He can absolutely do it. If we don't earn money now, when could we?"

The actress expressed she is also filming a Mainland series like Joe after she is done filming "Flying Tigers." As for many older TVB artists are no longer TVB's biological children, she agreed.

"Many from my generation already left, only Sunny Chan remains. He always asks me to stay. Well I do like to work with people I'm familiar with."
