well, the fans at the chinese forums are telling me Shanghai Au Revoir will be released overseas next week, not sure how true though.

Reminder, Bosco will sing the themesong. Listen carefully :yea:

is it? :yea: ya... I know he will be singing the theme for this serial... desperately waiting to hear it! :keke:

oversea next week?!..which channel??!!

video and DVD release, not broadcast

GeLiGuoLu, do you have any idea the video released overseas includes which countries?

in chinese not in viet ryte? :huh:

I suppose so, sw33tjuicymang0...

omg, it's true!

I checked http://videobox.ca, which is the TVB series provider in Canada, and they are releasing that next! =]

this is sooooo awesome! omg wanna watch it... NOW.. i can't wait... lol

Dunno when Singapore will release this serial... sa sad! :wail:

Don't worry Jo_Lynn, TVBI releases worldwide almost simultaneously (well, if it's the same languages anyway). The release next week is Cantonese and Mandarin. Don't know bout u guys, but US cantonese versions all have English subs now, some of my viet relatives watch with the english subs.

Is it? That's GREAT! :yea: I have been waiting desperately for his next serial after his last one UTCOL...

Cool. Let's hear the themesong! lol

Is there any early synopsis for this series? hehehe

There's this:

群雄逐鹿　上海灘
槍林彈雨　英雄地

時為三十年代。叱吒上海黑道二十多年的聶進(苗僑偉)在妻子橫死後退下戰線，經營起小籠包店來，並出於歉疚而聘請了何水秀(向海嵐)。進的退隱，叫一心跟隨他的石世九(黃宗澤)失望不已。

進本沒有打算重出江湖，但是當他知道黑幫兄弟胡大川可能跟妻子之死有關，並且眼看著其他兄弟逐一遇害時，他知道江湖事終究要以江湖手段來解決。

進和川因而展開了連場廝殺；然而其後一連串事件，叫進懷疑背後還有黑手。另方面，更叫他震驚的是，女兒曼華(楊思琦)的親生父親，原來竟是對他恩重如山的大亨顧長城(高雄)！

Hmm... Bosco is a gang member?

Sounds like it, but it doesn't talk much about what happens to him next :(
Yet another different role for Bosco; he hasn't play a gangster before, right?

I wonder if he's gonna be a gangster wannabe, like Stephen Chow in Kung Fu Hustle. That should be cute :love:

Canada release schedule; US is usually about 2 days behind. Not sure of bout other regions :wtf:

Episodes 1-3 release on the 15th

oh yeah! :yea: Singapore is also releasing the serial very soon... though there is no date stated yet. I'll keep track with the rental shops... :D

There's a new subforum dedicated to discussing Bosco's latest series! Feel free to talk your heart about the upcoming release of Au Revoir Shanghai!

http://board.bosco-wong.com/index.php?showforum=12

hmmm. who come to release oversea first? That sounds like they gonna warehouse this series?! Don't tell me that! They can't warehouse Bosco.

Well, I talked to Fiona, and she said that Tina (Bosco's manager) said that they won't air another Bosco series that quickly, since there was so much of him in the past couple of months. Quoting Tina, "The audience will get bored." =P

So yea, I hope it won't be warehoused. I heard from Fiona that they will be airing Trimming Success in Hong Kong while we get Au Revoir Shanghai.

Besides, they have no reason to warehouse this series. It's got two of the hottest stars in HK right now: Bosco and Micheal Miu. lol

o.. that is great strategy! haha, don't want to get HK audiences "bored", while we can't get enough of Bosco. lol... It feels special to watch the series before HK audiences, haha...

Oh so that's why they released it for overseas only. lol maybe many people complained to TVB about the excessive amount of Ron and Myolie last year and TVB sort of learnt from it hehe.

I just watched a short trailer of this series from the Singapore site above and looks like there's a lot of fightings and gun holdings :yea:

brisky, did you manage to dl the trailer? How come I can't open it? Can you give me the link to dl?

Hm I didn't dl it. When I clicked on the View button a new window pops up and it contains a video player that plays the trailer. But you have to make sure you're using IE though. When I used Mozilla it only opened up an empty window.

oh yeah! I finally managed to see it! :yea: Bosco looks so cool when he's pointing the gun at Micheal Miu!

Here's the link to the trailer: watch trailer online


though I can't see it right now :( cuz I'm at work

I have captured a few pictures (with Bosco's parts) of this trailer, here you go...

wow thanks jo_lynn! I wonder if we can somehow capture the video itself. I've been trying, but it's not working >.<

Though I have extracted the trailer direct-link (heww!!!) and downloaded the media file (ahh!!!), it's not playing on any of the players :angry:

Maybe someone else could give it a try.

PS: Jo_lynn, I'm gonna mug you of those caps and give to the poor (hehe ... Bat Lau Ming), hope you don't mind.

haha... lol go ahead! GeLiGuoLu, I have tried to open the downloaded file from the link you gave but seems like cannot. I have tried opening it from my different applications ie. Windows Media Player, realplayer, FLV player, winamp player... all cannot open. I also tried changing to different ext. also cannot open... so sad! :wail: What application should we use to open this file with ext. MS? What does it stands for? :wtf:

Anyway, since not able to open the file, I have used my digital cam to video record it and I have uploaded this trailer to megaupload. However, the quality of this trailer that I have recorded is definitely not as good as the one all of you have seen online. If you don't mind, you still can download from the link below. :P

www.megaupload.com/?d=SUV0UWJN

if you try "save target as.." you should be able to dl it. I'm sure the ext should be mpg, but kozzi and I tried and it just wouldn't play. I'm gonna try to convert it when I get home.

no... I can dl the file, just that same case as you and kozzi, cannot open the file even when I have tried the above mentioned methods...

wow GeLiGuoLu and jo_lynn, you guys are kinda cool in all these video thingy :thumbsup: . Making me want to learn more about all these website and screencapping stuff haha. But yeah since the file is in .MS, it cannot be played using usual media players.

Btw I heard in AF that this series has been released in Australia and the person said that eps 1-3 are quite nice. Gosh they're so early!

brisky, do you have any idea which player can play extension .MS? I have tried searching through the web, but can't find any... :bawl:

Well, yeah, I'm from Australia and I just watched the first 3 episodes today. It's actually better than I thought it would be. Looking forward to further episodes!

Is it? You watched it already AnNiE? So jealous... I also want to watch... but still have to wait for the show to be released, hope it will come out soon here! BTW, can you share with us a brief synopsis of the first few episodes you have watched?

OH Annie....u saw 1-3 already? care to share some details? I really wanna know more about Bosco character. THX

So lucky! I can't watch it til I go home. There aren't any TVB rental stores near my campus :(
