Donnie Yen is the 2010 Box Office King

Donnie Yen proves he is the "strongest in the universe" this year.

The Hong Kong actor has three films out this year---"Ip Man 2," "Legend of the Fist the Return of Chen Zhen," and "14 Blades"---and they rocked the box office in Chinese-speaking areas. All three films hit more than 100 million at the box office in Mainland. The "Ip Man" sequel is even the box office winner in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore.

With a combined box office of nearly 485 million, Donnie is very satisfied and he hopes Chinese films will continue to do well in all areas.

"Everyone's acknowledgment encouraged me to do better. I'll not disappoint you guys," says the actor.

Not only his films are popular in Asia, American viewers also paid attention to Donnie's films. In an IMDB poll "Top 25 User-Rated Movies of 2010," his "Ip Man 2" beat popular action movie "Iron 2" and took 12th place as one of the top user-rated movies of 2010.

"You will be blown away by the fights," a user writes, "carefully thought out, excuted, and filmed as a true form of art."

Ron Ng Can't Show Up to Receive TV King Award

Seems Ron Ng does not have to prepare a thank-you speech.

Cable TV in Hong Kong is holding a television awards ceremony "Cable TV 2010 Best Dramas" in January. Winners are viewers voted and TVB actor Ron Ng, who is nominated with Mainland drama "Pretty Maid" (大丫鬟), is in the top 5 of the race for "Best Actor," receiving 47% votes so far.

Voting is closing this coming Thursday (January 6) and it seems Ron is a sure win. However, because he is from TVB, he might not attend to Cable TV's awards ceremony.

Currently filming TVB's upcoming drama <抉宅男女>, Ron is happy to hear that he is nominated but is not sure whether he would attend to the show that night: "You guys don't have to make it complicated. I filmed 'Pretty Maid' in Mainland and it was sold to Cable TV. I'll let my company arrange everything for me."

TVB high executive Virginia Lok expressed they would consider the type of the event then decide whether would arrange Ron to appear.

Even if Ron is not showing up, Cable TV already announced that it would place the award on an empty chair, representing Ron, to present the award to him.

JJ Lin & BY2 Return Taiwan After 80-hours of Misery

After stranded in New York's JFK Airport for nearly 80 hours, JJ Lin and his juniors BY2 is finally back home.

The three held a concert in New York a few days ago and had to stay in the airport when a big snow storm hit the city on Monday. They and their crews were forced to spend their days in the VIP room at the airport. They could not shower, wash hair, and change their clothes (luggage were already checked). Because there are no bathrooms, everyone had to line out outside the restrooms to wash their hair using the sink. They need to dry their hair by pressing it with napkins. Besides sharing 1 toothbrush with 5 people, JJ even had to alternate the same underwear these 3 days. BY2 also faced a similar problem that member Miko wore the same sock the day they arrived at the airport.

Their misery is finally over when they got on the evening flight to Taiwan. Fans and colleagues went to the airport to greet the group. JJ got emotional and hugged everyone. Their first thought after getting off the plane? Go home immediately to take a shower!

Not only it is affecting the Hong Kong music industry, the on-going royalty fee dispute is now affecting TV dramas.

Already confirmed as the female lead of producer Lee Tim Sing's new drama <我的如意狼君>, Niki Chow could be out from the drama due to the royalty fee dispute between HKRIA and TVB. It is known TVB high executive Stephen Chan, who resumed his title as General Manager recently, ordered to remove the BMA singer from the cast list.

Although he does not want this to happen, but producer of this drama Lee is prepared for cast changes: "I'm worried that it might affect my new drama. I've asked the Artiste Department and they told me will officially notify me if there's any changes. I'm quite helpless and I can't change their policy. They will give me an answer within these two days, but I'm prepared for it to happen."

Assistant director from the Artiste Management Department in BMA said they heard of the rumor but has yet received a reply from TVB.

The royalty fee dispute has been preventing HKRIA singers to appear in any TVB music programs and to be interviewed by TVB hosts. Although there was a turning point earlier, but now it is officially back to where it stands before. The dispute continues as TVB released a statement yesterday, saying they will not broadcast "Ultimate Song Chart Awards 2010" and "RTHK Top 10 Chinese Gold Songs Awards 2010."
