[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.
