Raymond Lam's DVD in great demand in HK. Hard to manage another concert by year end

Singer Raymond Lam held his first concert in June 2009 at the Hong Kong Coliseum, gaining a pretty good response, the entire concert was recorded and produced into a concert DVD, on the 10th at Tsim Sha Tsui Gateway Arcade a press conference was held to conduct a DVD autograph session. The scene attracted many of Raymond Lam's fans wearing their yellow and green uniform holding up high, in green, signs of the word "Fung".
.
Raymond Lam frankly said, when the DVD was first released, he had asked a friend to buy a copy for him, he didn't think that the answer would be that it was all sold out, although he hasn't gotten his hands on a copy yet, but knowing that sales are going well, Raymond Lam feels twice as consoled, and furthermore feels greatful of his fans support.
.
As he was asked about when he would hold his next concert, Raymond Lam openly expressed that apart from having to record his mandarin album, he will also be filming some movies and series, filling his schedule all the way to next year, and plus, his concert would also require gathering even more songs, so the plan for a concert would need to be temporarily put on hold and discussed slowly.

In the short period of 10 days, Raymond's DVD sold 5,000 copies of the original version and the limited edition which includes a photobook, the limited edition sold rapidly. He said in a satisfied tone: "There were 20,000 copies of the original and limited edition and its all sold out!" Asked if he would give a copy to rumored girlfriend Linda Chung? He asked back: "It's her business too? And she didn't come to the concert either. I will give a copy to my seniors like Ms. Lok."
.
Raymond said that he also wants to appreciate his concert in the audience perspective, he also went back to watch the 'wet' portion of the concert, asked if he added a "dynamic L" special effect to the wet portion of the concert? Raymond said confidently: "Actually it originally was already really good to watch, the whole part was really good." Unfortunately the parts with Miriam Yeung were not recorded due to the fact that they were not in the same company.

Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung caused a commotion in Central, Hong Kong


.
TVB new series [State the Case] had an outdoor scene filmed in Central (near a restaurant) last friday (31 July).
.
As required in the series, Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung were both seen dressed in autumn clothing despite the temperature creeping into the thirtees, not even a faint puff of wind on that night, Tavia even brought her personal cooling fan. On the other hand, Raymond who was wearing a shirt and tie, was constantly wiping his puddle of sweat. He even used his mobile phone as a mirror to comb his hair and to replenish his make-ups.
.
Just shortly after the filming has started, there were more and more enthusiastic onlookers gathering by the roadside just to catch a glimpse of the popular stars, so much so police were called in to keep the crowd in order. The crew had to expedite the filming, so that they could leave the place soonest possible.

Raymond Lam pays more attention to skincare now to maintain facial appearance

.
Men who use skincare products are getting more and more common. In recent tear, Raymond Lam started to pay more attention to skincare. He said, "It's not about trying to be pretty or not, as an artist we often need to attend events. We should pay more attention to our appearance." He also said that before he was very lazy, sometimes after work he would be really tired and just use towels to wipe his face. But ever since there are more males using skincare products, he tried it and felt that the results were good, therefore he started using them more often.
.
In the past, Raymond has been the spokeperson for Southeast Asia skincare products before. He hopes that in the future he could be a spokeperson for one of the skincare brands in Hong Kong. Recently, he has been filming for "Shall We State the Case", he said: "If outdoor scenes or studio scenes are added, in one day, I need 10+ hours to do make-up. So, definitely need to use some skincare products otherwise my skin would be ruined".

Raymond Lam's Blog Update

Reporter: Hello Fung!
.
Fung: Oh Hello!
.
Reporter: What’s your character like this time? Can you give us some information?
.
Fung: This time it’s going to be a challenging one because I have to be an associate physics professor. And my own knowledge of physics, is limited. So this time, when I’m looking at the scripts, its like revising homework because there are a lot of physics related things that I will have to interpret in the series so a lot of the formulas and things like that, I will know have to know very well.
.
Reporter: Your identity in this series is a high classed one.
.
Fung: Yes, I come from a highly respected family and will have to look the part and be looking a bit more classy but the weather is quite hot right now and to look classy, you will have to be wearing a lot of layers so it will be a bit tougher and will tend to wear suits more often and this professor isn’t just going to be in the lab and be at the university giving lectures but will also have to be going to different locations.
.
Reporter: To investigate cases?
.
Fung: I don’t even know why he has to work so hard, this professor. But it will be quite fun because this time there will be Kenneth Ma and his role and my role will have quite a big difference so the effect it will have will be quite funny and with Tavia….it’s been many years since we have acted as a couple and I think this time will have some new chemistry.
.
Reporter: Is there any scene you’re looking forward to? Like how Kenneth is looking forward to the bed scenes?
.
Fung: But there’s a lot of those! (referring to Kenneth’s bed scenes). He will be looking forward to them from the beginning to the end.
.
Reporter: So are there any ones in particular that you’re looking forward to?
.
Fung: Ummm…the scene I look forward to the most? Ummmm…. The scene I look forward most is….well you can’t really say look forward to but, this time there will be some crime investigations so we will be filming a modern series but use the scenery of an ancient series to film like forests and stuff so it should be quite funny.
.
Reporter: Don’t you look forward to the affectionate scenes with Tavia?
.
Fung: Me and her…from what I’ve scene of the script, there aren’t too many affectionate scenes.
.
Reporter: So your relationship will steadily grow throughout the series… (exact words were: “like the small water flowing for a long time”)
.
Fung: Should be towards the end because in the beginning, we aren’t too compatible with each other because I’m a person of reasoning and she’s more the emotional type, and hyperactive where as I am always calm and collected so I usually give a feeling of protection.
