TVB upcoming new crime series will bring viewers down memory lane

HONG KONG: TVB upcoming drama ‘Golden Crime’, a television crime series, will be set in 1970’s Hong Kong.

Produced by Best Drama winner Amy Wong, ‘Golden Crime’ is set in the backdrop of 1970’s Hong Kong, during a time when the economy of Hong Kong was developing rapidly. It was a golden decade for the former British colony, but also a time when financial thefts were at its peak.

‘Golden Crime’ stars Eddie Cheung, Edwin Siu, Elaine Yiu, Ben Wong, Tony Hung, Matthew Ho, and Jeannie Chan.

“I play a pager operator,” shared Elaine. “I’m going to be doing a lot of homework as I’ve never used a pager before. My first device was the cell phone.”

Most of Elaine’s scenes will be with Edwin Siu and Eddie Cheung, and the trio will be involved in a love triangle. “My character originally comes from a wealthy family, but my father left his wife and daughters behind after going in debt. In the end, we move in with Edwin Siu.”

Tony Hung greeted the press while wearing a wig, much like the hair from the 70’s. Tony shared, “I was in love with Ekin Cheng back in the day, and I wanted to have long hair, but I didn’t want people to think that I’m young and dangerous.”

He then added with a laugh, “Hopefully this wig can bring me a lot of shampoo or hair loss endorsements, haha!”

In the drama, Tony will have a romantic storyline with Jeannie Chan. “We’ve never worked together before, but we have come across each other at work. I hope we’ll find our chemistry.”

‘Golden Crime’ is Tony’s first collaboration with Amy Wong. “I’m super honoured for this opportunity,” he said. “My character is a troublemaker. A bit arrogant and cocky. ( So you’re playing yourself?) Not really, but he is a very suitable character for me. It’s a good role.”

Anthony Ho, John Chiang, Hugo Ng, Akina Hong, and Yoyo Chen also star.
