Ron Ng Has Heavy Screen Time, Denies Demoted to Supporting Actor

Roger Kwok, Ron Ng and Kristal Tin attended the blessing ceremony of TVB new series Semi-Evil Man. Earlier some Ron fans were upset that their idol is listed below Roger and Kristal's name, making him seem like he's a supporting actor. However, Ron did not appear to have been affected by that "name ranking crisis", he and the other two got along well. During the roast pork cutting ceremony, Ron and Roger stood in the center middle spot, which showed that they are on the same level. Roger expressed he is the actual supporting actor: "Ah Ron is working real hard, every single line in the entire series is related to him. Actually we are all the leads. (Ron's name is listed below yours?) Is it based on age? If so, then Kiki Sheung should be first on the list!"

Ron said he does have heavy screen time in this series and urged fans to calm down. "The list of names is not in any order. I will be leading from beginning to end, and have already pulled several all nighters for filming. Fans just didn't know that part." Ron disclosed because he recently bought a new house, he and Roger are going furniture shopping together. Asked if he's considered a 'seun poon' (best house deal) now? Ron said: "Being a seun poon catches a lot of rumors, leave that for Kenneth Ma! (You kissed Elena Kong before too!) Before in Silver Spoons, Sterling Shackles I had already kissed Elena. However you calculate it, he's behind me!"

Kristal laughed at the "name ranking crisis" as well, she asked: "Is it counted by the number or strokes in our names?" Kristal expressed she and Roger had kiss scenes, but nothing with Ron. Asked if she would request the producer to add the scenes? She laughed: "I usually give him kisses behind the cameras and behind the set!"

Ron Ng reveals that he suffers from liver disease

The Hong Kong actor said that the illness started seven years ago
According to Hong Kong media reports, actor Ron Ng has been a long-time sufferer of liver disease.

During a radio interview in Hong Kong yesterday, the actor revealed that work has taken a toll on his health since seven years ago, and that co-star Francis Ng from his new TVB drama series, Triumph in the Skies II, would often bring alcohol along to the filming site.

It was also reported that Ron’s health ailment is a result of irregular working hours and frequent all-nighters during drama filming in China.

In response, Ron said, “Actually, I’ve been visiting Chinese physicians since seven years ago, when I first discovered that my liver had swelled to three times the normal size. For the situation to improve, the liver needs to become smaller, but that hasn’t happen yet, and I’d need to continue my traditional Chinese medicine treatments.”

When asked if he had quit drinking because of his health, Ron replied that he “tries not to drink as much as possible”, but cannot avoid it during work events and celebratory parties.

The actor also added that his co-star Francis would often bring alcohol to the filming site, and that it would be wrong of him not to “give face” and refuse to drink.

Meanwhile in Hong Kong, there have been lots of talks over Fala Chen’s full bareback scenes in Triumph in the Skies II, which were censored for broadcast.

When asked about it, Ron replied, “I haven’t seen the scenes myself. Perhaps it’s the audience who do not like such scenes that’s why it had to be edited out from the drama.”

“As actors who work hard on every scene, of course we’d hope to air everything for the audience enjoyment. “
