Fala & Tavia as singers

So the other day, I came by some Youtube videos of Fala and Tavia singing live for various functions, and I thought they weren't too bad as singers either, especially Fala. I think she sounds even nicer than Linda! Tavia isn't too bad either.

Fala singing 遇见


Fala singing 我的驕傲


Tavia singing Sammi's song


Tavia singing Kelly & Sammi's songs


Maybe these "sisters" of Moonlight Resonance, ah Yuet, ah Chau, and ah Hing... can form some sort of band together....TVB's own S.H.E haha

Moonlight Resonance. 家好月圆


Moonlight Resonance Trailer



Usually referred to "Heart of Greed 2", Moonlight Resonance is the official TVB title. The trailer says that TVB will air this on July 28th. I am surprised that they are airing it so early, but considering it is 40 episodes, the ending will be shown about a week after the Moon Festival holiday on September 14, 2008 (China Time).

I really like how some of the characters got up and arrange new positions in the trailer. I have not watched HOG I, but I like how the trailer shows the character arrangement from HOGI, and then everyone got up and changed their spots. Although this serie is completely different from HOG I, it's quite a creative way to show that the actors and actresses will play different characters in this serie, and that the feud & triangles are different.

The cast is incredibly stunning. Michelle Yim looks beautiful, and I have no doubts she will give a fine performance as the villain of this serie. Kate Tsui's character is also very interesting. She is suppose to be a villain or a semi-villain in this serie. Shirley will get to guest star as the young Lee Szi Kei in this serie. The will also be Lee Heung Kum's first come-back serie in a long time. And the two hottest guys at TVB that I just can not pick over (Raymond & Bosco) will be fighting over a girl!? Now, IF ONLY, if only, it could be Tavia that they fight over, man it would be one triangle I wouldn't miss for anything. Imagine the chemistry between both guys! However, unlucky for me and perhaps other TVB fans who are not fond of her, it is Linda Chung who will be stuck between two fine guys.

In Cantonese, there is a term call "duk nan, duk bei" which translates to meaning something like "you don't like seeing and feel that they are in the way" which generally means you don't like that person. When it comes to a grand cast and a potential great serie, whenever I find Linda Chung is casted in the serie, I feel that way. I think she is like the only thorn amidst a bouquet of roses. That is how I feel about her in The Gem of Life too. Thus, her being in the cast is my only disappointment. I can only hope her being casted in two grand productions this year means that she will stay out of future grand productions for the next year or so (I can only hope forever too!). Sorry Linda, TVB and the Hong Kong audience must love you, but I do not.

Some Concert News...

I usually do not post about concert news, but as there is one good news piece and two upcoming HK celebrity concerts in US & Canada that I think are interesting, here goes:

I. Kelly Chen announces Her Marriage at Concert
*Link: AsianFanatics
*Credits to themissingpiece @ Asianfanatics.net

As the last singer to hold a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum before renovations, Kelly Chen's "Love Fighters 2008" concert drew to a close last night. In front of an audience of 20,000 near the end of the concert, Kelly announced that she will get married soon to her boyfriend of many years, Alex Lau. During the announcement, Kelly could not hide her joy and started crying. She said that after marriage, she will continue her work in the entertainment industry and will NOT quit the industry.

Direct quote from fans, here was Kelly's exact announcement translated:

"With this concert, I completed a big mission. I will continue with another big mission. I am getting married!!! (Crowd goes ecstatic for 2 minutes). I finally said it, I wanted to say it for a long time already. If I get married, and the Coliseum is finished with repairs, will you guys come back and watch me? What if I have kids and am holding two babies?"




//I am very happy to hear this marriage news! The way she said it was so cute! I am not sure of the date on which she shared the happy news, but it must be during the week of June 16 since this news was posted on June 18. It was cute how she said she wanted to share the news, and it was hard to hold it back! I wonder how her boyfriend proposed. It is very interesting how HK celebrities date for such a long time before getting hitched. For Hollywood celebrities, it seems to take like three months lol



II. Bernice Liu, Raymond Lam, & Linda Chung Concert in Canada - August 2008

// It's too bad I'm located in the US or else I would consider going for Bernice & Raymond! Am still waiting for them to pair up as a couple in another serie since Survivor's Law I! It would also be interesting to hear them sing the themesongs. While I'm not a big fan of Linda, I do think she has potential as a singer.



III. Joey Yung Concert at Atlantic City, Trumph's Taj Mahal Casino - September 2008

// This would probably be an awesome concert since I love a majority of Joey's songs, but New Jersey is far from Texas lol. Why, oh why, don't HK celebs visit Texas??

Tavia Yeung, Shirley Yeung, and Linda Chung



Tavia, Shirley, and Linda took a picture together for "Heart of Greed 2" catwalk in the traditional Chinese red wedding chi pao on 3/28/08, and posted it on their TVB Blog. They also took a pic together during the TVB Anniversary Celebration or Awards in November 2007. I wonder if they are really good friends? I thought they look beautiful together despite me not being a Linda Chung fan. Kinda like Charlie's Angels right? lol Anyway, I just made a little fanart of them above. For the real pictures, go to their blog sites.



Since I quite adore Shirley and Tavia individually, I love this pic of them. Hope they would be able to star in another serie and have many friendship or sister scenes together. It is impossible in "HOG2" since Shirley plays the young Lee Sze Kei and is guest starring, while Tavia is part of the main cast.

Hardships During Filming....

Asianfanatics: Shirley Yeung Frozen, Cries For Help 1/8/2008

From what I can recollect, Shirley has had some history with having to deal with health problems while filming such as falling off the horse while filming Blade Heart, injury during an anniversary practice with Bosco, and now this could be considered another issue.

Before the last year, I always thought Shirley was weak since she always had these health issues. If she had a strong will and a strong body, then she could've accomplished the filming without problems because other actors/actresses don't have the same problems. But now, I think differently now not because I am her fan now, but because I believe that you have to be in the harsh situation to experience the pain. Last year, I had some back problems, and it hurts so much to even get up and walk, so I could imagine how bad it must've been for Shirley who fell off a horse years before!

The tone of the article seems to put Shirley in a bad light, but I think it was really cold for her. The girl is also quite skinny and has a history of health problems. If she could have done the filming efficiently, she most likely would. It is not great to get those bad pictures snapped and probably judged unprofessional.

But what I am thinking is the frozen ice necessary? Did they really have to have a steamed water scene? This is not the first time that I read news about actresses facing hardship while filming. I can't find the article at AF, but I remember reading another news about Linda Chung having to film for Jewel's Splendor, and she was quite cold filming a swimming pool scene, but she had to 'brave it' and continue filming also. And also Gillian Chung from Twins was hung on a wire for a while for Lets Steal Together and asked to come down but supposely the directors did not hear her? There was also another time she was hung on a wire too, but I can't find that other article. There are probably more news about hardships during filming, but these few are the ones that come up in my mind now. And then I heard past TVB actors complained about how filming series for TVB takes longer hours and is very tiring. And we see how some current popular actors and actresses filmed strenuously in one or two months to complete filming or take series after series.

So the next time we come across one of these news in the future, we shouldn't be too fast too judge the actor or actress as unprofessional, perhaps the conditions are indeed very unbearable for them.

Have you heard or read about any other hardships for other actors/actresses during filming? Please share.
