Ron Ng, Bosco Wong & Raymond Lam Reportedly Invited To Join 2nd Season Of Call Me By Fire

Even before the first season of popular Chinese reality competition Call Me By Fire wrapped last November, there was already talk of the second installment, with netizens and stars putting together their own wishlist of participants.

Some of the poplar names thrown into the hat include Louis Koo and Hongkong Heavenly Kings Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok.

According to reports, the show, which features famous male stars competing to form a pop group, is slated to begin filming this month.

While the lineup is not known, a “deluxe” list of rumoured contenders has been circulating online recently.

Apart from big names like Mandopop King Jay Chou, who rarely participates in variety shows, Hongkong stars like Nicholas Tse, William Chan, Kenny Kwan, Hawick Lau, as well as BFFs Raymond Lam, Ron Ng and Bosco Wong have also been shortlisted to be 2022's “Greater Bay Area Brothers”.

In case you are not aware, the “Greater Bay Area Brothers”, a group that Hongkong stars Jordan Chan, Michael Tse, Jerry Lamb, Julian Cheung, and Edmond Leung formed during the first season, was such a hit that they were given their own spin-off reality show Night In Then Greater Bay.

Could Ron, Raymond and Bosco be the new "Greater Bay Area Brothers"?

While it would be great to see BFFs Ron, Bosco and Raymond on screen together again, it is not likely to happen.

According to reports, when Ron was invited to participate in Call Me By Fire, he had already accepted a role in a TVB cop drama, which begins filming this month.

Furthermore, the actor said previously that he would turn down overseas projects as he can’t bring himself to go through quarantine again.

Bosco, too, is said to be unable to make the show due to a scheduling conflict. So that leaves only Raymond free to take part.
