According to news from Mainland, Raymond Lam and Michelle Ye are reuniting in October for new Mainland costume drama The Purple Hairpin Romance, an adaptation of The Purple Hairpin. The story sets in the Tang dynasty, revolving around singer-dancer (Fok Siu Yuk), the man dressed in yellow (Wong Sam Hak) and the scholar (Lee Yik). Raymond is portraying Wong Sam Hak. This is also Raymond and Michelle's first collaboration outside of TVB after 10 years. Following Lofty Water Verdant Bow and Eternal Happiness, this will be their third collaboration.

Additionally, Michelle will be producing and starring in this drama The Purple Hairpin Romance just as she did in Ninth Widow (第九个寡妇) and Goddess Athena (雅典娜女神). As the previous two were high quality dramas, Michelle's outstanding coordination and abilities has been complimented as well. This time, Michelle produces her third drama and is putting exceptional effort into the work. She will be using the same crew from Goddess Athena, from the director to the costume designer and art director, she has found herself a great team that has mutual understanding. She also invited famous HK scriptwriter Ka Wai Nam, who has written The Duke of Mount Deer 1984 and Beyond the Realm of Conscience, to help her with the script.

On Weibo, Michelle wrote [to Raymond]: "Welcome you in Beijing. Long time no see. "

14th Shanghai International Film Festival [June 11, 2011]

On June 11, 2011 (one year ago today), Raymond, along with Eva Huang, attended the 14th Shanghai International Film Festival for their movie <<Sorcerer and the White Snake>> aka <<It's Love>>. Surprisingly (and luckily), Michelle was also there for her movie <<Overheard 2>>.

Raymond and Michelle finally met each other through that event. At first, I knew they were going to participate in this event, but I didn't think they were going to participate on the same day (since this event lasted for a few days...) Well, who would have thought that they will meet each other again after like... 7 years. BUT THEY DID.

Sadly, it didn't happen again for this year. And we will mostly not see them any time soon.... Maybe next year.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of them at that event.

Eternal Happiness Theme Song MV

 

Chinese lyrics: 

記得忘記 (片尾曲) ~ 林峰

明天過後 來揮一揮手
天高地厚 就此各自暢遊
忘記玩偶 忘不了蕩過韆鞦
縱使雙手多麼緊扣 亦要走

從此以後 誰也不回頭
一早熱透 汗水切勿倒流
忘記沒有 忘不了路過沙丘
愛到枯乾都找不到綠洲

chorus
你在我記憶旅行 每步也驚心
跟你踏過許多腳印 捨不得轉身
你贈我太多見聞 拿不走的熱吻
多努力放低 偏不會忘記 苦戀紀念品
純屬過路風箏不懂愛別人
( 忘掉昨日今天不必要熱吻 )

浮沙滿地 沉重的傳奇
沙粒極重 任它浸沒眼眉
忘記道理 忘不了亦會別離
在你掌心之中該上自己

repeat chorus

(寧願以後只可分享半滴吻)

English lyrics: 

Remember to Forget (End Theme) ~ Raymond Lam

After tomorrow
Give a little wave
The skies are high and the earth is deep
Like our long journeys,
Forget everything
But can't forget the time we shared on the swing
Where I hold your hand tight
But you still left

From now onwards,
No one turns back
the things that have left
It flows endlessly like a river
Forget nothing
But can't forget the journey we took thru the sandy land
Love is as hard to find as a desert paradise

You tour in my memories
Each step echoes in my heart
Walking with you through many footsteps
Not willing to turn around
You give me so many experiences
And kisses that cannot be taken away
Working hard to put them,
But unable to forget souvenirs of this bitter love affair
Just like a passing kite, knows not to love anyone
(Forget yesterday, No kiss is needed today)

The sand scatters on the ground,
This saddening legend,
(missing part),
Let it coat eyebrows,
Forget the logic,
Can't forget the separation,
In your palm, embrace myself.
(Rather share half a kiss in future)

Raymond Lam and Michelle Ye’s similar points

Raymond Lam and Michelle Ye’s similar points:

1. Both of their families have money and status.
2. Both born in Mainland and can speak standard Mandarin. (One is from XiaMen, and the other one is from HangZhou, Zhejiang. Looks like they are neighbors!)
3. They are still college freshmen up until now. One studied in Eastern United States, the other one studied in Western United States.
4. They entered TVB around the same time.
5. Both hosted in TVB8.
6. Their schedules (for the dramas) are the same. Both filmed <Eternal Happiness>, <Golden Faith>, <Lofty Water Verdant Bow>. After that, Raymond recorded his music, while Michelle went back to America. They started their new jobs around the same time in June.
7. Their waists have scars (injured). The low back pain problems were caused because of filming.
8. Both like to ride bicycles.
9. They are both quiet and polite most of the time, but when they meet their acquaintances who are around their age, they will become 'crazy' together.
10. Both have rumors and negative (false) news about them.
11. Raymond is said to be the "Little Louis Koo", while Michelle is "Little Jessica Hsuan." What a coincident!
12. Both have O blood type.
13. Both like to carry backpacks to travel without informing anyone. They eventually met each other. Even though they both grew up in a foreign country, they have deep sentiments toward China.  

14. Their ancient costume images are well-liked by many people, both also collaborated in ancient series together. One is handsome in his ancient costumes, while the other one is elegant.
15. Both are genius in speaking different languages. They can speak four different languages ah! Furthermore, they can speak each language accurately, especially Mandarin. It's rare to have Hong Kong stars who can speak accurately like them, therefore when hearing them speak, it's a little comfortable to the ears!
16. Both are being called a 'master of being silly in the studio'. They can play tricks on people, and that can destroy their (innocent?) image. Especially Michelle who likes to disguise as 'Xiao Xin's face' (this Chinese cartoon show), therefore, she was given the nickname "seahorse".
17. Under different situations, settings, or whether it's on-screen or off-screen, they both able to convey the same expressions, emotions, and movements.

(P.S: Both are TVB new siu sang and fadan. Their TVB monthly calendar photos give people the feelings where they can't describe what a perfect match is!)

Michelle Ye Has "Feelings" For Raymond Lam [07/25/2005]

Yesterday, Michelle Ye accepted a radio interview, frankly saying that a quite bewildered good feeling with Raymond Lam, but as to they have had rumours together before, Michelle strongly emphasizes that this special feeling that she's speaking of is not the romantic kind.

She said, "We entered TVB8 in the same term, then at the same time, we were discovered by TVB to start filming series, so our experiences and the friends we have are very similar and our opinions towards things are pretty much the same."

Michelle also has deeping feeling towards Gallen Lo, she said, "A few years back when I was in a beauty pageant, Gallen was one of the judges, then we turned into colleagues and worked together in a series, our identities changed, but I still feel awed towards him."

Later on, Michelle will be flying over to Japan with Leon Lai and Chapman To to start shooting for a new movie, "Two Hearts Will Know Love & Righteousness", asking if she's afraid to have some rumours spread with Leon? Being very certain, Michelle replied, "No! We're from the same company & the company won't let stars under their management to mess around with rumours for advertisement, I also won't affect my personal life for the advertising of a movie."

The Sun:

After leaving TVB, Michelle Ye switched to Rich & Famous Talented Group Ltd, her first job is working with Leon Lai & Chapman To in a movie. Miss Gossip (Reporter) feels that Michelle will certainly have some rumours with Leon, but who knew that Michelle said positively, "We definitely will not! We're both from Rich & Famous Talented Group Ltd, they won't want the stars under their management to make up false rumours just for advertisement, I also won't bring affects to my personal life for a movie."

Even though Michelle naturally gets very careful when speaking of relations with other male stars, but then she said, "I have a very special feeling towards Raymond Lam!" Does her heart really belong to him?! Actually it's only because Michelle and Raymond both were hosting the TVB8 channel a few years back, then being discovered by TVB, they started filming series, experiences being the same, which made her feel very good towards him, besides Raymond, Michelle also has a very deep feeling towards Gallen Lo, "I was in a beauty pageant a few years back, Gallen Lo was one of the judges, then we became colleagues and worked together."
