[News] Linda Chung Has The Confidence To Fight For TV Queen; Nancy Sit Blows Up Over The Poster Arrangement

Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) and Nancy Sit (薛家燕) attended the River of Wine《九江十二坊》promotional event yesterday.
When the topic of the TVB Anniversary TV King and Queen awards was brought up, Linda professed that she has the confidence and said, “My reaction in Yes Sir, Sorry Sir《點解阿Sir係阿Sir》was unexpectedly well-received and I gained a lot of fans as a result. Furthermore, the audiences also like my role as Miss Koo in “Yes Sir, Sorry Sir” hence I will be shooting a spin-off series centralizing around Miss Koo in the month of November.”
Linda continued, “Of course I do hope that I could win the “My Favourite Female Television Role” award based on my role as Miss Koo too.”
When mentioned about her ex rumored boyfriend Raymond Lam‘s (林峯) new drama, Men With No Shadows《不速之約》, being accused of plagiarizing Death Note《死 亡筆記》, Linda responded, “I’m not too sure. But they will always say that every time when there’s a new drama series. Actually having filmed so many dramas, it is inevitable as there will easily be slight similarities in the plots every now and then. However, I feel that their drama seems attractive and Bobby Au-Yeung (歐陽震華) is also rather comical.”

Nancy Sit blows her top over the alignment of the drama promotional poster
On the other hand, it was evident that Nancy Sit’s image was heavily enlarged on the backdrop, in an eye-catching position, as compared to the first promotional event for “River of Wine”.
This was because during the first “River of Wine” promotional event, Nancy Sit felt that her portrait image on the poster was too small. This made her extremely displeased as it thrust her into a supporting character, which prompted her to  reflect it to the producer.
While attending the “River of Wine” promotional event yesterday, Nancy Sit revealed that she had earlier on expressed her dissatisfaction to the producer, Wong Wai-Shen (黃偉聲), about her positioning in the promotional poster.
Nancy continued to say that Wong Wai-Shen explained that it was a printing problem and promised her that he would make sure the problem doesn’t persist again for the second promotional event.
Nancy also joked that she would look at the backdrop first when she enter the venue in the afternoon and would entertain thoughts of leaving if it wasn’t amended by then.
However, upon reaching the venue, she immediately felt happy again upon seeing that there was marked improvement in the poster during this current promotional event.
Nancy professed that she only filmed one to two drama series for TVB every year hence she was obviously uneasy about being treated as a supporting character when she was in fact the main lead of the drama.
Nancy proceeded to say that after seeing her discomfort, the producer was sensible and understanding enough to make the immediate amendments.
Nancy also emphasized that she wasn’t petty but just felt a little unsettled as her relationship with TVB has always been good and they had said that she would be acting as the main lead when they had initially invited her to film this drama.
Since yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, did Nancy remind her children to be careful while celebrating it with their other half?
Nancy replied that she is an open-minded parent and will give them space for their own activities but she did ask them to enjoy and appreciate the full moon and didn’t ask them to “eat the moon”.

Linda Chung likes Raymond Lam’s portrayal of a devil

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festive season for family reunion, Linda self-professed that her personality was westernized and since her family was in Canada, she didn’t have the habit of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In other news, Raymond Lam’s new drama was recently accused of plagiarism. About this, Linda replied that there were simply too many dramas in this world hence it was ineluctable for similarities in drama plots and that there were accusations of plagiarism, even in songs.
Linda also expressed that she knew Raymond was portraying a devil and felt that the concept was rather appealing.

[News]Linda Chung to Resume “Miss Koo” Role in Spin Off Series

In Yes Sir, Sorry Sir <點解阿Sir係阿Sir>, Linda Chung’s (鍾嘉欣) bowling teacher character, Miss Koo, had a nervous breakdown and earth-shattering cry when she found out that she was deceived in love by Moses Chan (陳豪). Linda’s portrayal as Miss Koo was widely acclaimed, even marking her as a popular choice to win the Best Actress Award at this year’s TVB Anniversary. Although the awards results were uncertain at this point, TVB will film a spin off series derived from Yes Sir, Sorry Sir in which Linda will reprise her role as Miss Koo.

Following Michael Tse’s (謝天華) Laughing Gor character, Miss Koo was another classic creation. In November 2011, Producer Lau Ka Ho (劉家豪), will start filming the new Miss Koo series, featuring Linda Chung and Bosco Wong (黃宗澤). Linda Chung was requested to end her upcoming holiday early and return to Hong Kong in order to participate in filming of the new series.  

Originally, Linda filed for two months of vacation to return to her home in Canada after completing the filming of Lucky Father <當旺爸爸>. This will allow her to take a break from the strenuous filming schedule, in which she filmed over 100 television episodes this year. Since it has been confirmed that Linda will star in Producer Lau Ka Ho’s new Miss Koo spin off series at the end of November, Linda’s vacation plans have been ordered to be shortened.

Linda was excited to reprise her role as Miss Koo, “Aside from myself, many audience members also liked the character of Miss Koo very much. It’s a very special feeling to be able to film a spin off series. Actually, this character resembers the cool teacher character found in OL Supreme <女王辦公室>. I never considered this would happen to me, that a producer would ask me to portray such a cool character. I hope to continue the bold aura of Miss Koo!” Linda hoped to follow Laughing Gor’s spin offs into the film industry as well, which would make the situation even more perfect!

The attraction of Miss Koo was undeniable. Even Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) praised Linda’s performance in the role, while noting that Linda had a good chance to win the Best Actress Award. Linda responded, “Of course I have confidence. However, I think I have a greater chance in winning the Favorite Female Character Award instead.”

[News]Linda Chung Plays in Love Rectangle in “Lucky Father”

Yesterday, Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣), Steven Ma (馬浚偉), Ha Yu (夏雨) and the rest of the cast and crew held a praying ceremony for new TVB drama, Lucky Father <當旺爸爸>. Earlier on, when Linda and Steven were shooting an accident scene for Lucky Father, a passerby thought that an actual accident had occurred and called the police. When mentioned, Linda replied that she felt that the accident scene was probably too realistic, thus misleading people to think that it was real. Linda expressed that she was shocked when the police suddenly arrived at the scene on that fateful day.

Ran Until Feet Hurt When Filming Chasing Criminals Scene

Linda will have romantic developments with three men in the drama and they include Steven Ma, Lai Lok Yi (黎諾懿) and Edwin Siu (蕭正楠). Will she have kissing scenes with all of them ? Linda responded, “Fathers are the main topic of this warm-hearted drama. As romantic love isn’t the primarily focus here, no kissing scenes will likely be imposed. It was rather challenging as this is the first time I’m acting as a policewoman. As I often have to film criminal-chasing scenes, I suffered from a lack of sleep but still had to film from morning until night the very day, running until my legs were numb and in pain.”

Did Linda prefer filming kissing scenes or criminal chasing scenes? Linda laughed and said, “It’s most important for the effect to be good. All three of them are good men.” (Reporter: Which one of them fits your criteria of a boyfriend?) “Each of them have their own strengths. I have the most chemistry with Steven Ma since we have collaborated five times now. Lai Lok Yi is my good friend. Edwin Siu is a nice guy. However, I will not develop with any of them. Acting is purely acting; I keep private life separate from work.”

In other news, Tracy Ip (葉翠翠) was rumored to have turned down TVB actor, Benjamin Yuen’s (韋家雄) pursuit of love. In reply to this, Tracy silently admitted to it, “We previously filmed 4 In Love together and in that drama, his character really likes me. During filming, he was just going into character. After filming, nothing happened between us. We didn’t communicate or even went on any date after that.” Tracy Ip clarified that she did not mind dating shorter guys than herself but preferred that her boyfriend was not from the entertainment circle.

[News]Charmaine Sheh Supports Linda Chung and Myolie Wu to Be TV Queen

Ever since Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼)  broke away “biological” relations with TVB, chances of reprising her past position as TVB Anniversary Awards’ TV Queen doesn’t look too optimistic this year. In reply to this, Charmaine self-professed that she understands the rules of the game thus she will concentrate on filming dramas in mainland China. As for the TV Queen award this year, amongst the hot contenders, Charmaine looked highly upon Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) and Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) while for the TV King award, Charmaine, of course, thought highly of her long-time good friend, Michael Tse (謝天華).
*Warning: Possible spoilers for new drama 4 In Love ahead*
Although Charmaine was no longer under a TVB management contract, she has in recent days been busy filming TVB new drama, 4 In Love. Yesterday night, the drama team were filming an outdoor scene on a building’s rooftop in Mongkok’s Sai Yeung Choi Street. Charmaine Sheh donned a 60′s image for the drama and proved to be extremely eye-catching in it. She then started filming with Florence Kwok (郭少芸) and more than thirty temporary actors, some of whom were people of other nationalities.
As it turned out, the scene was about Charmaine (who portrays an actress in this drama) filming a science-fiction thriller in Hollywood. Thus, Charmaine was required to wear white contact lens from time to time. Charmaine continued, “Your vision will turn blurry with these white contact lenses on. Thus, it was rather tough (filming in these).”

Highly Praised Michael Tse for TV King

When mentioned of TVB’s Anniversary Awards ceremony at year-end and how viewers were starting to look out for signs of the hot contenders for the TV King and Queen awards respectively, Charmaine was also asked for her predictions. In reply to this, Charmaine responded, “For TV King, there is no need to ask, I would surely pick Laughing-Gor Michael Tse! Since we (Michael and I) are friends, of course I will support him first! I also know that the viewership ratings for Lives of Omission <潛行狙擊> has been great. If there is a need to pick, I think it would be hard on us.”
When asked about the selection for TV Queen, Charmaine noted, “Linda Chung’s performance in Yes Sir Sorry Sir <點解阿Sir係阿Sir> and Myolie Wu’s performance in The Rippling Blossom <魚躍在花見> were both good.” (What about yourself? Do you have any confidence?) “For me, I really don’t think I have the chance lahs! Because I might not be able to attend the ceremony as I need to rush back to mainland in September to film Mainland drama, The Legend of Yuan Empire Founder <建元風雲>.”
In other news, filming outdoors in such a humid weather has proved to be an extremely difficult task for the cast and crew. However, Charmaine still acted with professionalism and responded that shooting at night wasn’t considered that tough already (as compared to filming in the day).

[News]Steven Ma Encounters Obstacles While Filming “Lucky Father”

Yesterday, Steven Ma (馬浚偉) and Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) were at Shek Kip Mei Street to film a vehicle collision scene for their new series. Since the scene was perceived to be too realistic, it frightened an old lady present who mistakenly thought that a traffic accident had actually  occurred. She immediately called the police, stating that a motorcycle had mounted on the pavement and swept away some people. This caused the police and the firefighters to assume that a disastrous traffic accident had occurred upon receiving the telephone report and immediately dispatched some men to rush to the scene, only to discover that it was just a misunderstanding and false alarm.
Unexpectedly, after that disturbance, another female passer-by stood beside the motorbike which had to be used for filming and thus caused interference. Despite persuasion, she refused to leave.  Thus, the drama team had no choice but to halt filming.
After which, the reporters understood from Steven that at that point in time, he was filming a vehicle collision scene with Linda for TVB’s new drama, Lucky Father <當旺爸爸>. The scene required  many temporary actors to act as students who have been hit (by the oncoming vehicle). At that time, an old lady passed by and grew very nervous, mistakenly thinking that an actual traffic accident had occurred and hence called the police. After realizing that the accident was only a scene in a TVB series, she didn’t bother them again.
Accused of Polluting the Environment
However, Steven revealed that another woman had displayed agitation at the filming set. That woman was upset over the pollution of the environment as the cast and crew did not turn off the air-conditioning and engine of their outdoor filming van (which was parked along the road). Hence, the woman tried to be difficult by refusing to leave.
Steven thus said, “We usually change filming outfits in the van. There’s a time limit and after that, we will always switch off the engine of the idle vehicle. However, as she was saying, she suddenly went very near to us. I grabbed Linda and returned into the van and didn’t have any confrontation with her to avoid further aggravation. After waiting for that woman to leave, we resumed our positions and finished shooting the remaining scene. Finally, we managed to complete it.”
Steven continued, “However, I must also praise the police for their quick reflexes and efficiency regarding this matter. I didn’t expect that their police car would arrive at the scene so quickly.” Steven also pointed out that when shooting an outdoor scene, TVB had always followed the procedure and applied for a filming permit. This time was no exception either. Yesterday when filming the vehicle collision scene, although it was mistaken to be real, the police didn’t interfere with their filming upon reaching the scene. However, someone else was too agitated but fortunately, controlled herself and left. Steven also said, “That lady probably had a emotional problem. She kept hurling insults at us and made a  ruckus until it was so awful hearing it and scolded us for being selfish, unscrupulous and even warned us to be careful of breaking our ankles!”

Linda Chung stands firm, no decrease in appearance money

Linda Chung, Nancy Sit, Pierre Ngo and the rest of the cast to TVB new series River of Wine attended the promotional event. Linda was asked about a magazine publishing a list of TVB artists' 2008 appearance money, which included her in the top 20. Linda laughed: "I'm happy, thanks to my company for giving me the opportunities. Even if I'm busy shooting series, I make time on my schedule to shoot Ads and do stage performances. (Any difference in the prices?) Very stabled, small raises, but no reduce in prices because my manager stands firmly in this area."

Also, lead actors Bowie Lam and Sunny Chan were absent from the promotion due to shooting in Mainland. Lead actress Nancy Sit initially had to lead a group to Shenzhen for a performance, but in the end she insisted on attending: "My learning center is currently giving lessons on moral conduct. The course teaches children about discipline and manners. Later, we will take them out for a performance, but for this promotion, I must rush back no matter what."
