TVB young FaDan Sire Ma plays Damian Lau's daughter in the current TVB drama
Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles.
She portrays the daughter of a wealthy man, but has no right or freedom
in choosing a spouse, her parents decides everything for her. For this
series, Sire traveled with the crew to Shanghai, where they were able to
really concentrate on shooting the series because there were no other
jobs to distract them. Sire was able to really get into character, in
one emotional scene about Sire crying to her father, Damian, her tears
naturally came running down. She said: "Actually that scene didn't have
much dialogue. I asked Dad, do you know there are a lot of unhappy
people in this family? Then I start crying. Damian said he rarely tears
up when he watches playbacks of his own scenes. He was re-watching this
scene, and had teary eyes. He said my performance was so touching, and
I'm happy to have his compliment!"
She and the other cast
developed a very good relationship because they were filming for nearly
half a year together. They often group chat on WhatsApp. Shooting in
Shanghai this time around, she was able to experience how enthusiastic
Mainland fans are. The fans would stand in front of the hotel waiting
for their idols practically every day. They bring breakfast and late
night snacks for their idols and sometimes even daily necessities.
Sire
hopes she'll have the opportunity to go to Mainland more often because
there is heavy historical feel there, which helps artists get into
character easily. As to the series said to leave "heavy flavors"? She
believes people shouldn't place all the attention on any one particular
scene, "It's just like appreciating artwork, shouldn't be using the
erotic view to see it."
