Francis Ng pulls early April Fool

It was an early April Fools' Day for Francis Ng's fans, as the actor recently pranked them via Weibo.

According to Popular Asians, the actor recently updated a depressing status on his Weibo, "[I'm] not in a good mood. I found out that due to certain reasons, "Triumph In The Skies II" will not be able to air next year!"

Surprised by his rant, the post attracted over a thousand comments and was spread over two thousand blog posts. Angry fans expressed their concerns and disappointments at TVB through their Weibo.

However, on 23 February, Francis posted another status on Weibo, confirming that "Triumph In The Skies 2" will air this year as scheduled, and joked, "That previous Weibo post was to test if those pig heads were qualified to join my club. The reason why "Triumph In The Skies 2" will be unable to air next year is because it will air this year!"

"If you could not figure out the clues behind my words, then congratulations, you are now a VIP member of the Pig Head Club."

Meanwhile, "Triumph In The Skies 2" producer, Joe Chan revealed that he is currently supervising the drama's post-production work and assured that the pilot drama will be ready in time to broadcast sometime within the latter months of 2013.
