Deric Wan: “Why Did I Not Marry Maggie Shiu?” thumbnail
Recently, famous Hong Kong film, television, music talent, Deric Wan (温兆伦) appeared as a guest on major television talk show, Looked and Looked <看了又看>.   Deric revealed the inside details of how he became famous as well as the true personalities behind past co-stars, Maggie Shiu (邵美琪), Kathy Chow (周海媚), and Irene Wan (温碧霞)! In the interview, Deric even raised and answered the question of “Why did I not marry Maggie?” The contents of Deric’s interview were quite compelling!

Obedience Led to Breakthrough Performance

Debuting as a singer, Deric’s career was tepid until starring in 1989′s Looking Back in Anger <义不容情> as the well-known villain, Ding Yau Hong. Since Deric [did not take formal acting classes], Deric was concerned that he would be unable to deliver a competent performance after receiving the role in Looking Back in Anger. Regarding Deric’s concern, Producer Wai Ka Fai (韦家辉) said bluntly, “As long as you are obedient, you will be fine. You have to do what the director, scriptwriter, and I tell you to do. If we ask you to blink your eyes three times, do not blink four times!”
Since Deric was super-obedient on the filming set of Looking Back in Anger, this led to good results in his performance. After the broadcast of Looking Back in Anger, the audience reacted strongly and Deric became a leading man at TVB. Since the outset of his career and to-date, Deric continued to be a very”obedient” actor.
Considered as a veteran, Deric collaborated with numerous TVB actresses, including Irene Wan, Kathy Chow, and Maggie Shiu. The program host imitated Irene’s soft voice, leading to laughter on the set. On the other hand, Maggie and Kathy possessed tomboyish personalities. Asked which actress he was most comfortable acting with, Deric admitted that he was most comfortable with Maggie Shiu. The pair shared a good understanding and will understand each other’s thoughts with one glance.
Deric revealed that Maggie Shiu possessed a great appetite. Despite her feminine appearance, her true personality was very tomboyish. In the past, many viewers asked why Deric did not marry Maggie Shiu. Deric raised the same question in the talk show and answered by stating that they collaborated too many times and became “brothers.”
In the television program, Deric performed a duet with Maggie Zhong (钟纯妍), entitled One Person’s Love <一个人的恋爱>. For this single release, Deric was involved in the image and graphic design, as well as the creative planning of the music video.  Deric also wrote the lyrics and completed the music production. Deric and Maggie performed their duet with deep feeling together.

Getting Married for the Third Time?

Focusing his career in mainland China in recent years, Deric maintained a low-profile romantic life since breaking up with TVB artist, Sonija Kwok (郭羨妮). Deric currently focused on acting and behind-the-scenes development. Several days ago, he attended a promotional event in mainland China and reports surfaced that he got married for the third time. Allegedly, Deric stated that he wanted to have a baby girl and was interested in naming her “Gentle Beauty” (温柔美) which bore the same name as his new song title.
The identity of “Mrs. Wan” was a mystery as Deric refused to disclose who the woman was. This naturally sparked much speculation,  even embroiling Deric’s recent mainland partners, Zhao Ting (赵庭) and Maggie Zhong in the romantic rumors. Due to their new duet, One Person’s  Love, Deric and Maggie often performed at events together.  Maggie often posted their photos together online, with Deric responding to her messages thus leading to speculation that Maggie was “Mrs. Wan.” At the same time, Deric left a message on Zhao Ting’s blog, “Your idol loves you,” which gave rise to speculation as well.

Mysterious About Love

When the reporter called yesterday, Deric pretended to be mysterious about his alleged marriage. Deric said: “Marriage is my ultimate goal. Having a baby a girl is a little more urgent, which I am looking forward to. This is my dream; however everything needs to be confirmed.” (Is Zhao Ting Mrs. Wan?) “Of course not! Many people write in such a manner on blogs.” (Is Maggie Zhong Mrs. Wan?) “No, of course not!”
It was understood that Deric possessed a very good relationship with his mainland girlfriend, however the couple did not get married yet.
