"I think that this series should recieve high ratings, after all our angel, Charmaine Sheh stars as the female lead here" Flora Chan replied.
"Oh that's right, what are the cast up to right now?" the reporter asked.
"They are getting ready for the tryouts" Flora replied.

"The blush is too dark, you want me to look like a monkey's bottom?" Charmaine complained for the 5th time. "What kind of professinal make-up artist are you? go!"
"S-sorry" the make-up artist said.
"Sometimes, scolding at people don't work" Tavia said, she was seated next to her, where her hair stylist was perming her hair.
"Whatever, why are you talking to me anyway, do you hav e the right to? I don't think so. Think about your position first, whenever you feel like talking to me" Charmaine gave her a dirty look and looked behind her. "Where's the new make-up artist?" She stood up and walked across the room.
Across the room, was the male's section where they were getting ready. Charmaine spotted Steven Ma. "Steven Ma" she walked up to him.
Steven pretended she was invisible.
"I don't think you need a make-up artist, you look like a woman anyway" Charmaine said, pulling the make-up artist with her.
"Costumes here!" Ron called. "Line up here and I'll hand you your costumes!"
Everyone walked over to Ron. "Chris Lai..here's yours, you have two here, just choose one today"
"Thank you" Chris took the jeans set and made his wya to the change room.
"Charmaine Sheh..."he looked at Charmaine's impatient face as he flipped through the clothes rack.
"Hurry up, will you?" Charmaine said in an annoying tone.
"10 minutes!" someone called.
"Here" Ron handed her 3 sets. "There's 3, choose whichever"
Charmaine didn't say thank you and walked off.
"Tavia Yeung..."he mumbled as he recognised her face. "You have 4 sets to choose from"
"Thanks" tavia gave him a big smile and thanked him.
"You're welcome" he said. "Next...Steven Ma..you have 3 sets to choose from"
"Thanks" he said and walked off.

Charmaine closed the door behind her, she was now in the changing room. There was 3 sets, one that was casual wear, a pink blouse and jeans, and the next a suit, and the next was a formal dress. Charmaine frowned and looked at the pink blouse. Angrily, she flung open the door and walked out, knocking into a minor cast.
"Excuse me!" the girl said. Charmaine ingored her and walked to Ron.
"Ron Ng!" she said angrily, look at that blouse, it's size 14, do you think I'm that fat? I'm a size 8!" she said, putting her hands on her hips.
"Oh, sorry, I'll change it for you now" Ron said turning around to grab another size.
Charmaine tapped her fett impatiently, she looked around and saw a pile of papers neatly stacked on the table Ron was working with, she glared at him and then pushed them deliberately on the floor. "Oh! sorry! it was an acident!"
Ron turned around, holding a size 8 in his hands. "What?"
"Your papers..."Charmaine gave him an innocent, but fake look.
"Why did you do that for?" Ron asked, starting to get angry.
"Because you gave me a size 14, you are such an insultor!" Charmaine grabbed the blouse and walked off angrily.
Tavia walked up to Ron. "Are you ok?"
Ron bent down to pick up his papers. "Is she always like that?" he asked.
Tavia bent down to help him. "Oh, yesterday I was about to die.."Tavia said. "But we have to suffer it..."
"Thanks" Ron thanked her as she handed him some paper. "Wow, the outfit really suits you. I thought you'd choose the formal dress"
"Oh no, I like something casual" Tavia said. "I have to go now, bye"
"Bye" Ron said.
As Charmaine got out of her changeroom, she bumped right into Steven, who was holding his other outfits in his arms. "Watch it!" he said, loudly. The black suit dropped to the floor, Charmaine who decide dto wear the formal dress, 'accidently' stepped on the suit and ripped a bit of it with her heels.
"Hey! Look what you did" Steven said and picked up his suit.
"Oops" Charmaine smiled sweetly at him and walked off. "Make-up artist!" you could hear her calling.
"She is really getting on my nerves" Steven said grumpily and when he turned around, he saw the MC standing there. "5 minutes!"

"Steven, how do you like your costumes? do you think they're ok?" the reporter asked. "Why didn't you waer formal wear to match your love opposer, Charmaine Sheh?"
"Of course, I had to wear casual wear, thanks to the person who accidently ripped my suit" Steven told the reporters.
"Who ripped it?" they asked.
"Oh, it's a small thing" Steven replied.
"Can we take a picture of you and Charmaine Sheh?" the reporters asked.
"Of course.." he gritted his teeth and saw Charmaine coming towards him.
"Oh, you look so handsome today!" Charmaine said happily to Steven.
Steven returned her a smile. "Photo?"
"Sure" Charmaine smiled and stood beside Steven.
"What about arms? around each other?" the reporters requested.
Steven lifted his arm to touch her shoulder. Camera's flashed. They posed for a couple more photos and then Charmaine left him.
"Oh, Tavia the reporters requested a picture with you and I" She said, pulling her towwards the reporters.
"Tavia, how do you feel working with your elder, Charmaine this time?" the reporters asked.
"It's a great opportunity for me to learn new things" Tavia replied.
"And how do you think about Tavia, Charmaine?" they asked.
"Oh, Tavia has well and truly improved, there's nearly no space for improvement!" they both gave fake laughter.
"How about a picture?" the reporters aksed.
Tavia and Charmaine put their arms around each other's waists. Camera's flashed. "Thank you!" the reporters thanked them.

Shirley finished opened up the file and then made a few corrections. She looked at the clock. "5 minutes left" she said.
While the cast and crew were at the costume tryouts, Shirley stayed back at TVB city, she had a meeting with the singer who was going to sing there themsong and subsongs. Quickly, 5 minutes pasted, and a knock on the door was heard.
Shirley straightened her clothes and pushed the screen to the outside. "Come in"
The door opened and all-time famous and hottie, Raymond Lam stepped into the room. "Ms. Yeung?" raymond said, taking off his newest model sunglasses.
"I'm Shirley Yeung, music manager of the new series 'Gold at Heart'" Shirley stood up and outstretched her hand.
"Raymond Lam" Raymond shook her hand. The two sat down.
"Why I asked you to come forward today..."Shirley said, pointing at the screen. "Here are the lyrics to the themesong, you are to record 4 pieces of the themesong"
"4? why? you on ly need one" Raymond said.
"I'll explain to you, the first one, is the short version, which is going to be played on the theme video, the next is a shorter verison played when an episode finishes, the next one is the full version and the next is full version mix" Shirley explained. "Get it?"
Raymond nodded. "And what about sub-songs?"
"Subsongs...you need to record 5 pieces" Shirley said. "The first is the full version of 'Golden Heart' and the second is the short version of 'Golden Heart' which is to be played after an episode ends, the third is a full version when sad scenes are played, the fourth is the shorter verison played after an episode ends, and the fifth is when 'Gold at Heart' is advertised on-screens. It's a really short one, about half one minute"
"I never really sang so much themesongs in one day" Raymond said, with a slight smile.
"Don't worry, we can take as long as we want. Of course i prepared time for the breaks, or errors you make, the recording times..I will print for you in a second. See if they're suitable for you, any changes, just contact me" Shirley clicked on a button on her screen, and the printer started printing. "here is my business card, you can email me or call me"
"Ok, Ms.yeung" Raymond said as Shirley handed the print-put to him. "Woah..this is like over 1 and a half months?" Raymond raised one eyebrow.
"Yes, unfortunatley. By the way, call me Shirley" she said, giving me a smile.
"Sure" he said.
