You may wish to be a famous socialite.
You may wish to have fame and fortune.
But is that really what you will wish for at the end?Synopsis:In PAK SIU-YAU (LEE SZE KEE, LOUISE)'s eyes, her three daughters are just as perfect as diamonds. She believes that the greatest blessing for a woman is to marry a wealthy man. To guarantee a better life for her daughters, she has started training the girls since they were young, hoping that they will marry into the richest families when they mature.
YAU's first daughter HONG NGA-YIN (SHIU MEI KI, MAGGIE) does not agree with her on her values. Yet when she sees that the man YIN is going out with is KO CHEUNG-SING (LAM, BOWIE), who is very well-off, she decides to let YIN go with her choice. YAU's second daughter HONG NGA-TUNG (LAI CHI, GIGI) is hopelessly romantic but does not seem to have much luck with men. To make it up to her, YAU seeks to match her up with HO CHIT-NAM (CHAN HO, MOSES), the son of Hong Kong's most powerful business tycoon HO FUNG (YUEH HUA). Being the youngest in the family, HONG NGA-SZ (CHOI SIU FUN, ADA) is well aware of YAU's concerns. Having recovered from divorce, SZ now decides to pin all her hopes on FUNG.
YAU's persistence pays off and her daughters have all found a wealthy husband. But money does not really bring them happiness and the sisters are gradually losing themselves in vanity.
《珠光寶氣》(The Gem of Life),香港無綫電視的82集時裝電視劇,以高清技術拍攝,投資超過一億港幣。此劇為2007、2008年節目巡禮及2008無綫節目精選第二季劇集之一,亦是41周年台慶劇。由MaBelle Leo Diamond特約。
劇情以邵美琪、黎姿及蔡少芬三姐妹分別嫁入豪門的故事為三條主線,將宋家皇朝縮影為一個家庭,述説三姊妹血脈相連的故事。此劇在青島、上海、深圳、東莞、珠海、西藏、澳門、香港、泰國和法國等地取景。
故事大綱
《珠光寶氣》主要講述嫁入豪門的邵美琪、黎姿、蔡少芬三姐妹的故事。大家姐邵美琪是事業型,埋頭苦幹;二妹黎姿個性比較單純,愛情至上;三妹蔡少芬野心大,個性張揚。三姐妹分別嫁給了三個豪門人物。由於丈夫間存在著生意上的競爭,三姐妹也一度反目。該劇監製戚其義表示,與傳統的TVB長劇不同,《珠光寶氣》裏面並沒有「誰是誰的私生子」之類的家族恩怨,也沒有「打打殺殺」,更多的是人性的沖突,以情感人。另外,劇中對上流社會進行了詳細的描述,也是一大看點。
故事圍繞三位不同個性的新生姐妹--雅言、雅瞳和雅思。她們高貴優雅,流著貴族的血,舉手投足無不流露出大家閨秀的風範。在人生的軌跡上,他們認識了城中的青年才俊。他們懂得享受生活,或品紅酒,或抽雪茄,揚帆出海,逐浪賽艇。她們與他們相識、相愛、相分,一起捲入商戰世界,她們與他們成長、反省、醒悟、經歷人生高低起跌。
生命跟鑽石一樣,尊貴不在於名譽與權力,而在於真摯與忠誠,只有這樣生命方可如鑽石一樣,永恆不變,散發不朽光輝。
