TVB Celebrity News

Yesterday Myolie Wu, Nancy Wu, JJ Jia, Kenneth Ma and Oscar Leung promoted for TVB series Season of Love. After the promotion, Myolie has to fly over to Beijing for work. When asked if she's rushing over to see her Mainland rumored boyfriend? She said: "Who? Don't speak nonsense. I'm not hurried to be in a relationship, leave it to fate!" Last night, Myolie reportedly intoxicated herself at good friend Nancy Wu's house? Myolie laughed: "I didn't drink, just coincidentally the reporter took pictures of me catching the taxi with squinted eyes. I already explained on Weibo. All I drank that night was milk. Fans teased me too, milk can't intoxicate people, just people intoxicate themselves. (Still single, feeling really worried?) No, I'm very happy! Aide from love, friendship is really good too, that night Nancy cooked up big feast for me. (Friends are in relationships, you don't envy them?) Can't rush these things, leave it to fate! (Did Nancy introduce any guys to you?) Not deliberately, I really don't have those plans. (Do you mind if it actually happens?) No, just like meeting a new friend, but why are you all so anxious! (Because you've been hurt before, you don't dare to date again?) No, really just leave it to fate."

Nancy praised Myolie is doing very well, both physically and mentally, she doesn't need to introduce guys to her. Just be natural and that can attract excellent guys. Has Myolie been resisting? "No, she had always been career-oriented. In the past, she really worked too hard, I told her that she needs time to have her own life. After all, we are over 30, no matter where our career is now, we still have to think about marriage, having kids and starting a family. We cannot just incline towards our career, there needs to be a balance. Myolie is doing very well now, let nature take its course."

Kenneth joked during the Lantern Festival, he had several girl friends accompany him. He also thanked the media for giving him so many rumored girlfriends, Natalie Tong, Rebecca Zhu and Eliza Sam. He laughed: "My mom thought it was so easy to meet girls. (Who does your mother choose?) She's not as concerned about my love life as the media is." However, he does hope people don't misunderstand because the girls may not think he's a 'suen poon'. Among the three, which one is suitable to be Kenneth's actual girlfriend? He laughed: "The 3 of them are very good. If the media continues to write about us, it won't get anywhere. There will be lots of peach blossoms, but none of them are true." Also, at the promotion Kenneth accidentally called his on-screen girlfriend "Ting Yan" (Nancy), which is actually suppose to be Myolie, looks like he hasn't forgotten about his ex-girlfriend yet and Myolie had to correct him. What an embarrassing situation!

JJ Jia exposed she has a passionate kiss scene with Oscar Leung in the series, and even now she can still remember the taste. Oscar teased JJ asking if her boyfriend Louis Fan could feel it? Asked JJ if her boyfriend is jealous? She expressed: "No, but that scene really left a deep impression. We had to do the kiss scene on the first day of work. It is the most kissing I've ever done. I told him (boyfriend) after we finished the scene. (Did you're boyfriend ask you to do it another time?) Cheh, not necessary. This only happens in acting."

Nancy Wu has been working at the same company (TVB) for over 10 years, but is getting promoted slower than others. After enduring for 10 years, she finally gets a leading role, but it was just a leading role in one of the four stories in the episodic TVB series Season of Love.

"In the past ten years, I've seen many of my colleagues easily becoming lead actresses. At first, I asked myself: 'Why is it not Nancy Wu?'" Asking herself the same question too many times, eventually she naturally just stops asking. Nancy Wu came to one conclusion: She's not pretty enough. If not pretty enough, then you will be classified as a character actor/actress. A female lead must have some beauty and just stand around, unlike a character actress who has room to develop her acting skills?

"All along, producers have just described me as the second female lead. How could the audience not have this definition? It's hard to bear, but then again I'm used to it. Last year, I got some supporting actress awards and encouragement from many people. If I say I don't expect to get promoted, then I'm lying. In the upcoming new series, Food for Slaves, many people thought my wish came true, but actually up until this moment, I'm not certain at all. The best I could do is comfort myself, I don't have the looks of a mui jai."

Failed this time, try again next time. "I cannot control the ability of others, so I can only control my own abilities. I will just have to try my best and let the audience recognize I am someone worthy of challenges."

Luckily There is Wayne Lai

Wayne Lai sits firmly in the lead actor seat, surveying the TVB FaDans, it is hard to believe Linda Chung or Kate Tsui could be a romantic couple with Wayne. By inert theory, it is expected Nancy can portray a couple with Wayne.

"From Rosy Business until The Confidant, I was paired up with Wayne, like there was finally no comparison. I was even paired up with Ngok Wah before. It is because I encountered them, that I began to feel more confident in moving forward in my career."

Indeed that is an enlightening story, an actress lacking the beauty was initially a weakness, but Nancy was able to turn it into brightness. Next is probably the explosive fabricated news, such as her on and off relationship with Kenneth Ma. She just let that relationship slip away, then turned around and announced she got a boyfriend, the boss of an advertising company.

"I've always lacked the talking point. I live a normal life. Nancy Wu's business, who really cares?"

A Substandard Girl

If her relationship with Kenneth Ma remained ambiguous, then definitely the public would have strong interest in her love life, She didn't leak a single thing. "The relationship was unstable, basically haven't even acknowledged he was the one. Then what's the point in publicizing the relationship?"

The secret was only out after the break up? Nancy: "It was because he didn't want the trouble, couldn't stand the media asking him the same question day and night. He childishly thought admitting the relationship would end it all. If you ask me, I think there is a better way to handle the situation. Unlike now, created even more trouble."

The troubles include Nancy being called a gold-digger, just because she wanted a wealthy boyfriend, she heartlessly dumped the 'suen poon'. Some said she had 'princess sickness' too.

Nancy questioned: "What did I do wrong? Why did I get written so badly? My last ex (Deep Ng) had a bad image, so you thought I was good; Now Kenneth has a good image and I turned into a bad woman?"

Kenneth wanted to help clarify the negative news. "The more clarification, the more miserable it gets. Everyone thought he was trying to defend me, so his reputation got even better and made me look even worse. Even my mother couldn't help but ask me, 'Why such a good girl can be insulted like this?' I didn't know how to answer her. Kenneth isn't especially rich either, you think he's the best deal, then am I a substandard girl?"

Again, back to the same question: "Am I that bad?"

This is the One

Nancy: "You ask me what's the benefit of publicizing a relationship, I think it's just we don't have to lie. Mentally, it keeps us relaxed. Kenneth and I, our foundation wasn't stabled, there were too many doubts, a vicious cycle and thus it was inevitable that our relationship ended."

So, this time Nancy was smarter, once she got photographed with her new boyfriend, she immediately admitted it. "First off, he's not someone in the industry, so there are less worries. Secondly, the most important, I have never had this feeling before, where I can see my future with someone. Women, what do they wish for, it's not a Chanel handbag. When it all comes down to it, women are pursuing nothing more than spiritual stability."

"If there are no accidents, this is the one." Ten years in the industry, Nancy had never dared to say it, nor could she say it. Every relationship is just to pave the road for the next. This time, Nancy is still believed to be tying herself to a wealthy boyfriend no matter what it takes. She smiled sweetly: "If a female artist's boyfriend isn't consider in poverty, then is he definitely rich?

On Lunar Chinese New Year, February 9th, a special show TVB Golden Viva Spectacular is globally broadcasting live and can also be viewed on tvb.com's MyTV. TVB artists are traveling to Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan to do the biggest CNY show. Artists to Korea: Kevin Cheng, Raymond Lam, Myolie Wu, Linda Chung; to Singapore: Bosco Wong, Kenneth Ma, Ron Ng, Edwin Siu, Nancy Wu, Alfred Hui; to Taiwan: Eric Tsang. Artists staying in HK for the show -- Nat Chan, Liza Wang, Dodo Cheng, Moses Chan, Wayne Lai, Fala Chen and Vivian Chow will be performing in the show.

Kevin Cheng, Myolie Wu, Linda Chung and Raymond Lam appeared at the airport today for their departure to Korea. Then after the show, Myolie and Kevin are going back to Mainland to continue filming. Kevin said he knows Myolie has a pursuer. Myolie said: "Just a pursuer, not successful yet." Nancy Wu attended an event and revealed: "Myolie has a pursuer now, he's someone outside of the industry I told her not to worry so much about work and enjoy it."

At the show in Korea, Kevin will perform a Mandarin song, while Linda and Myolie will perform English songs. When asked why aren't they don't rehearse Korean songs? They said: "Leave the Korean songs for Korean singers. This show is airing during the Lunar New Year, the songs are sung to Chinese people, therefore its better for them to understand the language." Kevin expressed he won't be dancing, that he will leave for Raymond Lam.

When speaking of Ekin Cheng and Yoyo Mung's surprising marriage, Kevin said this is the couple's personal choice and he congratulates them. However, when asked about his own love life, Kevin said: "Not getting anywhere." He revealed he's currently busy shooting series and only gets half a day off on Lunar New Year. He took this opportunity to clarify the rumor of his withdrawal from Startling By Each Step 2, he said: "Before when I asked the crew, it wasn't confirmed that I will be in it, so later I accepted other jobs. Unexpectedly, it was later said that I would be part of the cast. It is a timing issue that I couldn't be in it. However, if there is an opportunity, I hope to guest star."

As for Linda, she collaborated with Ekin in a series before and disclosed Ekin's his 'See Fu'. She was very excited to hear that he got married and praised he and Yoyo are a match from heaven. She hopes the couple will have a baby soon: "When I saw the report on them before, they said they're not planning on having children, but I hope that's not true. Ekin's handsome and Yoyo's beautiful, they will definitely make a beautiful and behaved baby!"

Raymond had a large group of fans waiting for him at the airport. About Ekin and Yoyo's marriage, Raymond was really surprised and disclosed he had always referred Yoyo as his elder sister. He said: "I asked her before when they're getting married, but her didn't answer me. However, I do wish them to be together forever and I hope they'll hold a wedding party in HK. If not, we should get together for dinner at least." Asked when he plans to get married? He said he will copy Ekin, and announce after the fact: "After all, marriage is between two people. Just have to celebrate with family of both sides. (What about you and Karena Ng BB?) I need to concentrate on making more money now, work is my priority."

31 year old Nancy Wu has been dating her 36 year old wealthy boyfriend (Patt) for half a year and are in a stable relationship. Yesterday she appeared at an event in a sexy red dress to earn extra income for a fat prosperous year. This year Nancy will be spending the Lunar New Year in HK and enjoy her grandmother's homemade turnip and water chestnut cakes. She also disclosed she'll be bringing her boyfriend home for the reunion dinner. Nancy said: "My boyfriend's family lives overseas, so I'll be bringing him to my family's reunion dinner and also send New Year greetings to grandma. My grandma has seen him once before, but didn't rush us to get married. She's satisfied just seeing us happy together."

Nancy frankly expressed she is not hurried to get married, but she does regard her boyfriend as a marriageable partner. "I feel very comfortable with our current relationship. At our age, we have talked about marriage before and of course hope end happily together, but it is not confirmed when marriage will happen. Also, I just got the awards and have a new start in my career, so I hope to accomplish more first." When speaking of the possibly of a 'lightning marriage'? Nancy expressed she does not have an answer to that question. If it happens, then it happens. Sometimes there are changes in the plans, so just let nature take its course.

TVB artists Moses Chan and Nancy Wu were nominated for their roles in When Heaven Burns and Gloves Come Off at Singapore's 17th Asian Television Awards 2012. Moses won the 'Best Actor' award, while Nancy got the 'Best Supporting Actress' award. Yesterday the two were back at TVB City for a celebration. The two were still feeling happy and excited, Moses was even so happy he madly sprayed the champagne around.

Moses expressed after the award ceremony ended and he got back to HK, he had no time for rest. When asked if this has increased his confidence for the TVB Anniverary Awards? He modestly said: "Feeling normal! It's not important whether I get the award or not. (Got justice for When Heaven Burns?) Actually my performance wasn't that outstanding, it is because the script was written very well. This type of drama is very special. When Heaven Burns will have its own honor." When asked if how he'll be celebrating with girlfriend Aimee Chan? He said: "She's very happy for me. No need to celebrate. Her support is already helping me."

As for Nancy, who had already got the 'Best Supporting Actress' award in Malaysia, gets another one for the same mute/deaf role from Gloves Come Off. When asked if she has confidence to do a 'hat trick' and get the award for the third time at the TVB anniversary awards? She laughed: "I hope so! I have confidence! This is a very good summary of my 11 year acting career. (How has your boyfriend rewarded you?) He sent me a SMS to congratulate me. He's very happy for me."

In the past few years, Nancy Wu collaborated with Wayne Lai on three separate occasions including Rosy Business, Forensic Heroes III and most recently The Confidant. In The Confidant, Nancy's role is quite heavy as she appears from beginning to end, and she develops an ambiguous palace maid-eunuch relationship with Wayne. Nancy and Wayne have paired up several times and the chemistry just gets better each time. In addition, Nancy's acting has been getting positive feedback, Nancy said, "Wayne is a great actor. I've learned a lot after working with him so many times. At first, I felt really pressured, but now it's gotten better and my expectations has gone up as well. This time, I had a very comfortable collaboration with him because the story is about an ambiguous relationship between the two of us, so there isn't many hugs and kisses involved. Most of our scenes comes from the heart and emotions. We really like the story too."

Netizens called the Nancy and Wayne pairing "Lin Yung" (lotus) because Nancy's character is "Sin Yung" and Wayne is "Lin Ying". Not just that, the two also has a duet, The Confidant's sub theme, Sun and Moon. In fact, Nancy participated in the New Talent Singing Contest before, and her singing skills are up to standards. She only got 'half a song' this time, but still satisfied her cravings. She said: "It is such a rare opportunity that I get to sing. Friends and fans who know me, knows that I love singing. I've waited for this day for a long time. I'm already very happy to be able to sing half a song for the anniversary."

This year, Nancy won "Best Supporting Actress" at Astro On Demand's Awards 2012 in Malaysia and at the 17th Asian Television Awards 2012 (today, Dec. 6th) based on her mute/deaf role "Ting Yan Chi" in Gloves Come Off. The TVB Anniversary Awards is just around the corner, and Nancy can start promoting for her role in The Confidant. When asked if she's desperate to win awards? She frankly said: "Actually, yes. I've always been a supporting actress and I quite enjoy being in supporting roles. Of course, I do hope to become a lead actress some day, but take it one step at a time. I have confidence and TVB has confidence on me." However, this year the 'Supporting Actress' nominees are strong. She said: "This year there is a lot of competition, such as Mandy Wong, Aimee Chan and Elena Kong are all very outstanding."

Last night, TVB held the Long Service Employees Honor and Awards Presentation, where Wayne Lai, Lau Kong, Nancy Wu, Chris Lai and Vin Choi were in attendance. At the ceremony, TVB presented the "30 Years of Service" award to veteran actor Lau Kong and surprisingly even Stephen Chow still has a TVB artist contract. His 1.5 tael (~57 grams) gold metal was especially delivered to him.

Wayne and Nancy were both presented with the "10 Years of Service" gold metals (weighs 3 maces or ~11 grams). Since Wayne had once left TVB, so his time with the company just adds up to 10 years. Wayne smiled and said time flew by and he should say, "How many 10 years are in life?" He also admitted he had a very prosperous 10 years and hopes he'll become the TV King for the third time. Nancy was pretty shocked when she learned she got the "10 years" award with Wayne, "When I found out, I was so shocked [because] I've been watching him act since childhood." She hopes this year she'll get the 'Best Supporting Actress' as her reward and for memories. Earlier it was rumored Nancy and Kenneth Ma 'sparked love' again while shooting in Europe for TITS2? Nancy already has a new boyfriend, she expressed her romance with Kenneth had already died. Her current boyfriend did not get jealous. This year, Lau Kong got a pay raise and just renewed his contract with TVB, he said: "People say TVB is no good, but the company treats me pretty good. I didn't consider the money issue when I renewed my contract. After all, I'm fine with a pay raise." TVB General Manager (Lee Bo On) denied the "pay freezes" and stressed next year, TVB employees will definitely get a pay raise and bonuses.

TVB's 45th anniversary is on November 19th, last night many Siu Sang and FaDans such as Kenneth Ma, Nancy Wu, Mandy Wong, Oscar Leung, Toby Chan, Evergreen Mak, Lee Yee Man and rumored couple Katy Kung and Jack Hui were shooting an anniversary special on the busy street of Causeway Bay. At 8:30pm, the group gathered near the hotel and then marched into the pedestrian-only section of the street, where nearly a hundred citizens were surrounded them. Former couple Kenneth Ma and Nancy Wu held TVBuddy's hands and got the front positions. However, the two had zero interaction. Then they continued shooting with Oscar and Mandy Wong. Kenneth stood by Mandy the entire time and chatted with her. About half an hour later, the group got into a decorated car and drove to Mongkok for more filming. Katy expressed she does not feel awkward filming with Jack.

Yesterday Kenneth accepted an interview over the phone and denied treating ex-girlfriend Nancy as if she was invisible. He said: "We did interact, we've been fine all along and there is no awkwardness. I interacted with everybody." As for standing in the front position? Kenneth said: "Actually, we were split into several groups for the shoot. We were just one of the groups, but must thank TVB." He also said because he has to leave HK to shoot a series (TITS2), he won't be around during TVB's anniversary and so he's shooting the special now.

As for Mandy, she accepted a phone interview as well and said she is currently busy doing the dance rehearsals for her performance at the TVB Anniversary Gala. She said: "I haven't rehearsed the rope climbing part yet. I heard many of the girls got bruises all over them after the rehearsal, but I'm not afraid. I'm excited for it." She expressed she is still picking out her anniversary outfit, but she directly said it won't be that sexy, "I never wear clothing that are too revealing, nor have I thought about being compared to others."

Nancy Wu has been in the industry for 9 years and all along, she had a colorful love life. Besides previously admitting she dated Deep Ng and Kenneth Ma, she's often rumored with her co-stars. It was said Nancy dated Kenneth for a little over a year before they broke up, but apparently she couldn't forget this 'seun poon' (best deal) of the TV industry and tried several times to patch the relationship up. She tried her best to arrange business trips with him and made a low-profile guest appearance in his series. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to get Kenneth to turn back.

The heartbroken Nancy steps into the middle-age years and decides to lock down on a target. Finally, earlier this year a friend introduced her to the 'seun poon' in the creative industry (Patt). She moved from the TV industry to the creative industry, plus this new love interest of hers comes from a fairly well-off family background and is a talented gentleman. They haven't been dating for long, but Nancy already sees him as a marriage partner. This time, she cannot afford to lose.

It was understood, Patt came from a well-off family and just came back to HK after studying overseas. He established his own production company and has some fame in the advertising industry. As the boss, he also works as the art director, photographer and creative consultant. The most important is, Patt saw Nancy and it was love at first sight. They have been dating for over six months and he's often doing sweet things to please Nancy. At times, he'll give her romantic surprises, giving her flowers and new handbags. Nancy had been in a great mood, showing off her happiness on Weibo and often goes to friend gatherings with Patt. Earlier on Nancy's 31st birthday, Patt was very creative and planned a surprise birthday party on a cruise for his girlfriend. He secretly invited Nancy's close friends, including Myolie Wu, Mandy Wong and Praisley Wu on the cruise to give Nancy a memorable birthday.

Feeling all sweet with her new lover, yesterday Nancy accepted an interview over the phone and frankly admitted that she and Patt are indeed dating, "We started dating a few months ago. My new boyfriend was introduced to me by a friend. Our personalities match well, so we got together. Also he works in advertisement, so he's partially in the industry and really understands my job. (He's good at giving you surprises?) Last month, he accompanied me on my first birthday party on the cruise, very happy. Myolie Wu was very happy for me as well! (How would you score your boyfriend?) I cannot say now, we are still developing!"

Nancy's new boyfriend's full name is Patt Sham. He's only 30 and already has his own advertisement company called "HIVEMIND" and works as the Creative Director. He has directed Ivana Wong's MV before and helped Hins Cheung shoot his photo album.

Nancy Wu and Oscar Leung (Wai Wai) were shooting the ending scene for TVB new series Seasons of Love in Tsim Sha Tsui last night. The scene was about Nancy, who initially was going to meet Vincent Wong, but because he was trapped in an elevator, she coincidentally meets Wai Wai instead and sparked love. In reality, Wai Wai has been dating his girlfriend for 10 years, but exposes he sparked 'love' with Nancy from the kiss scenes, he said: "It's brotherly love, but we we're very into character. In the series, we have scenes more passionate than kisses, it is affectionate things that married couples do." Nancy added: "We collaborated before, but this is the first time we're a couple. I think we have great chemistry, I trust he won't take advantage of me." Wai Wai joked he's also afraid Nancy might sexually harass him.

When speaking of Myolie Wu, Kenneth Ma and Ron Ng's recent rumors? Wai Wai firmly said: "My girlfriend and I have been together for 10 years proves that we can withstand tests." When mentioning good friend Myolie's new rumor with ex-boyfriend Kenneth Ma? Nancy said: "Whoever collaborates her now will get rumors, no need to take it so seriously." Nancy reveals she and Mandy Wong are waiting for Myolie to introduce guys to them.

In 2003, Triumph in the Skies was the series where Myolie Wu and Nancy Wu first met. After 9 years, they finally continue their fate in Triumph in the Skies II. However, their sisterly relationship didn't start until 2007's War of In Laws II, then that following year (2008) they participated in Strictly Come Dancing. Their relationship got closer and closer since then. Today they are good sisters that support, encourage and influence one another.

Encourged to Fight for Opportunities

Recalling back then when Myolie Wu and Nancy Wu collaborated in Triumph in the Skies, Nancy saw Myolie as a very cool person, she said: "At the time, her career was developing fast and she was very nervous about her work. We didn't get to know each other then because she gave others a feeling like it's hard to approach her, but once you get familiar with her, she's not like that." When Myolie heard this, she immediately explained her cool self back in the day: "Actually I wasn't really familiar with the work back then."

Nancy: "That will just make people think you are hard to approach."

Myolie: "Really? You just told everyone my weakness! Perhaps because I'm a Scorpio. I start off protecting myself, but the people that know me well, know that I'm actually really crazy."

Nancy: "I'm a Virgo and I'm like that too, but after getting to know you, I realized that we have a lot of common views."

In 2007's War of In Laws II, it was when Myolie and Nancy truly got to know each other. Nancy said: "Back then after we all got off work, we would go to Myolie's house for hot pot and to chat. Then we started chatting about secrets. Then in 2008, we participated in Strictly Come Dancing. We went to Hunan together for the competition, our relationship improved a lot and we had mutual support and encouragement for one another. At the time, many people knew it was Myolie who encouraged me to take on this opportunity. If it wasn't for her, I may not been able to have the courage to tell TVB I wanted to go."

Myolie: "An artist wants to let audience see the best side of them. At the time, I was not confident to let people see me dance. At one point, I wanted to turn down Strictly Come Dancing, but I saw that this was an opportunity, so I encouraged Nancy to go fight for it too. I've been in this industry for over 10 years now, I see a lot of newcomers who have areas they need to work on, such as the lazy sounds and I would take initative to let them know the changes they need to make. To be able to encounter quality co-stars, it's a mutual benefit." Because of this selfnessness, Nancy began to treat Myolie as a close friend and she has become her best sister.

Myolie: "I often tell her, if you want to do it, then go do it. You can say it, but you may not get the opportunity. However, if you don't say it, then others will never know that you wanted to do it. Then it is definite that you won't have the opportunity. So, I just believe for the things you want to do, you should really go try to fight for the opportunity. Then put in the effort to do the best."

Mutual Influence

Myolie and Nancy became good sisters, but they actually haven't really collaborated in that many series. Nancy said: "After we got to know one another, we actually had less chances to work together. The first time was A Chip off the Old Block and then Curse of the Royal Harem. Having scenes opposite of her, I feel it's just a little weird. Usually when we aren't acting, we would be laughing loudly and going crazy, but when she starts shooting, got her makeup on and practicing her lines, she turns into another person. I watch her saying her lines, I feel it's so strange, like the Myolie I'm seeing isn't her."

Myolie: "You think I changed into another person?"

Nancy: "Yes! You get really into character."

Myolie: "Thank you for thinking that way. Haha."

Myolie influenced Nancy to be more proactive in her work, while Nancy influenced Myolie in a different way. Nancy: "Her personality is rather impatient and can easily think about nonsense. Her thoughts can go really far. Perhaps now she has been influenced by me, also we are closer, many times she can be really calm and will make careful considerations first."

Nancy agrees that it is fortunate to have a really close friend, she said: "I believe I'm really lucky because we aren't competitive opponents at work, we can actually chat, give each other advice and support. Myolie entered the industry earlier than me, she can give me a lot of advice. She is a person that wants the people she knows to do well too."

As there is nothing the two can't talk about, of course they will talk about their love lives as well. Myolie said: "I am good at looking at people, of course I help look at her friends and boyfriends. If I think they aren't qualified, then I would tell her."

Recently, Myolie's relationship has gone through some changes. As a good friend, Nancy has of course comforted her sister. Nancy: "Whatever unhappiness we have, we would talk to each other about it. Although we may know how the other will handle it, but we just want to let them know they have our support."

Myolie: "We can be that compatible because aside from our gentle side, we also have a strong side."

So, we don't need to be worried about Myolie because she doesn't just have two beautiful elder sisters, she also got "Wu Ting Yee" (combination of Myolie and Nancy's Chinese names), a nickname fans gave to Nancy, this fourth sister to support her.

Nancy Wu, Oscar Leung and Vincent Wong were shooting for TVB new series Seasons of Love in Causeway Bay. Before shooting began, Nancy and Oscar sat under the tree to cool off. Oscar had on a white tank top, showing off his biceps and pretending to be a built guy.

In the series, Nancy is Vincent's wife and spots him with another woman on the streets. On the other hand, Oscar is also Nancy's husband, which makes the relationships a little complicated. It turns out the characters in the series can choose their own destiny and therefore develop different stories. In the series they can choose their husbands and wives, but in real life they hope to be able to choose to make money in Mainland. It's rumored that HK artists can get paid as high as 200k RMB for shooting Mainland dramas. Nancy said of course she hopes to make 200k too, but she will just leave it to her company to make the arrangements. Oscar laughed: "Even if it's just 50K, I want to do it."

Nancy Wu is often a villain in TVB series, which has led the public to believe she has a negative character. Earlier it was reported she went after 7 men, but being in the industry for 11 years now, Nancy is immune to all the rumors.

Nancy deeply understands that she does not need to explain her relationships nor does she care how people defame her: "In the past, I would feel unhappy by negative news, but now that I'm older, I matured and don't care about these news! It's not the first time the magazines wrote negatively about me. I just feel the news could affect other colleagues.

In fact, I really thank the magazines because coincidentally my series Gloves Come Off was airing and they gave me free promotion. As for the stories, I just laugh it off! The purpose of entertainment news is to entertain the public. I won't explain my relationships to the public because I am the one who knows best of my personal relationships. There is no need for others to comment on my relationships nor do I care if people defame me!"

Today, by age 25, women who are still not dating or married are seen as 'middle-aged', and those reaching age 30 are labeled as 'sing lui' (left behind women)! 30 year old Nancy frankly expressed she will not fall into this label nor is she afraid how people see her. The most important is to live a true and brilliant life: "30 years ago, this is actually the most brilliant age in life. I also want to remind all girls in Hong Kong, why must we be so silly? Why must we fall into that label and have something control our lives? I think the term 'sing lui' is just a fad. I believe after some time, we won't be using this term anymore!"

Epilogue

For the majority of TV series Gloves Come Off, Nancy and Power Chan were acting using sign language. Nancy said: "When Power and I were rehearsing the scenes, the people around us did not know at all what we were saying or doing. When it was time to actually shoot the scenes, we called cut and NG ourselves because even the director didn't understand sign language. It was only the two of us that knew what was going on, so we were considered the big shots, haha!"

Thanks to Bride Wannabes and the current series Gloves Come Off, 31 year old Nancy Wu was first called 'High Level Sing Lui' and then a report said she's pursuing 7 guys and was named 'The New Generation Flirt'. In Gloves Come Off, Nancy plays a deaf and mute female boxer, but the role isn't as attractive as her rumors.

Nancy: "Actually when I first debuted, I already had this label. Up until today, after so many years, I suddenly get this rumor again. I already have no feeling and have stopped paying attention to if others think I'm a flirt or not." Actually that is quite pleasing because only when someone is popular there are more gossips and rumors, so that's pretty comforting for Nancy. "In the last 10 years, I have been accumulating a lot in my career, having ups and downs, but my direction was unclear. It is only in these recent years my goal is becoming clearer and clearer. I have more and more confidence and a larger workload, so it is only now that I truly feel that I am an artist and actress. This is actually just the beginning of my career."

Following Nancy's loving and mischievous daughter-in-law role in Daddy Good Deeds, in the recent series Gloves Come Off, Nancy plays the deaf and mute female boxer "Ding Ding". Two months before filming, Nancy went through Muay Thai training: "I think Ding Ding is considered my temporary representative work." Compared to her past roles such as the 4th Mistress in Silver Chamber of Sorrows and the immature young girl in No Regrets, Ding Ding is a lot more righteous.

She smiled awkwardly: "Actually not negative characters, just villian roles, as the audience calls it. I believe the roles I get, many of my colleagues hope to get. The only role I would resist is being a mistress. I think no female artist wants to do such a role (mistress)...but as a newcomer that could get a role in Silver Chamber of Sorrows, I was extremely happy, its something I never tried before and the series also had a heavy weighted cast, why would I mind?"

13 years ago, Nancy lost in the New Talent Singing Contest, and then worked as an OL (Office Lady) for 2 years. In 2001, she participated in The 3rd TVB Cover Girl Contest and won first place. In 2003, she graduated from the TVB Acting Class and was already casted in Triumph in the Skies as Joe Ma's little sister. Since then, she had pretty good prospects. "Ever since my first series, I was not given those innocent young girl roles, that is my direction or what the producer thinks is suitable for me. My first costume series Twin of Brothers, I was already a villian!"

"I remember clearly, back then Flora [Chan] asked me 'This is your second series? [You're] still young, should try anything.' I remembered her words all along. At the time, I didn't have much power to decline any series, the producers came to find me."

2012 is 'Good Person Year'

Usually those who just graduated from the Acting Class are good because they can't choose and are easy to use, but is Nancy afraid she'll forever be seen as a villain? "I've recently thought about the colleagues that debuted the same year as me. The majority of them play good roles, and really hope to play a villain. As for me, I have done a lot of villain roles and audience hope to see me in good roles. My colleagues' breakthrough is to be a villain, while my breakthrough is to be a good character. Perhaps the role Ding Ding is very pitiful, but I told my Fans, 2012 is my 'Good Person Year'. They will not see Nancy Wu as a villain."

Anticipation for the Lead Role

In 2010, Nancy played the sexy undercover cop in Gun Metal Grey and won herself the Best Supporting Actress award. The following year, Fala Chen won for No Regrets. At the time, they were involved in a lot of 'compete for award' gossips, and it was even criticized on Facebook of where Nancy's justice is. Water under the bridge, that year the competitors were all stable First Line FaDans, but Nancy was just silently plowing through.

"I've been in the industry for 10 years already...there was a period of time where I had no confidence because no one told me if I did good or not. There wasn't anything that allowed me to have certainty. In the recent years, I have better understandings and have confidence to cover the doubts of 'Why are you still in supporting roles? Why hasn't your opportunities come yet?'. Before getting the Most Improved Actress award in 2008, I was pretty lost. I always thought to myself, what else can I do? I know how to dance, so how come I wasn't asked do it? I don't blame my company for not letting me do it because if I could perform at the TVB anniversaries, that means TVB supports you. When you are still a newcomer and didn't start out as a Miss Hong Kong, then your opportunity won't come as fast."

Currently, there are great competitions for the TVB Siu Sang and FaDan positions. Since Nancy had the opportunity to pair with TV King Wayne Lai three times Rosy Business, Forensic Heroes III and The Confidant, her capability has reached a level of certainty. So what else does she lack? "Actually, it's not about what line I'm in (lead or supporting role), but it is rather, I hope to be a true lead actress. I hope to be able to have a series that belongs to me, that is the meaning of a leading actress. I believe there will be this opportunity one day!"

Rationality and Relationships

In regards to the lead actress role, Nancy expressed: "I hope to do this within 1-2 years." However before she takes on the FaDan position, she already has some gossips. Recently it was reported she's involved in 7 relationships, like with Joe Ma and Ron Ng. She has been named 'The Next Generation Flirt', taking Charmaine Sheh's spot.

"Now that Gloves Come Off is airing, I'll just treat it as your cover story gift to me. Most important is to have pretty pictures! I have never used entertainment news as a way to package myself. People around me have said "Your on the headlines! One person with 7 people, and you even have producer Poon Ka Tak accompanying you! You have won it all!" to comfort me. That is a good thing, if you didn't have any value, then people wouldn't give you a cover story. However, I counted again and again and I don't know how there is 7. How can Tak Gor (Poon Ka Tak) be in on the rumors. He brought me into this industry, and takes good care of me. The report said I gave him a massage, if that was true, then it is because I care about this person. Why can't I give him a massage? Why not? And vice versa, if he gave me a massage, that is not a problem either because I am like his daughter and he is like a father to me. If the situation is like what the report said, so much like an affair and I really did do something like that, then I really have to reflect on myself!"

[FACE] wonders Nancy being someone who looks so robust, where is the 'flirt' in her? "I personally haven't investigated on why people see me as one either. Perhaps it's easy for me to get along with males. I like to talk about cars and sometimes I even put my arm around shoulders with my male artist friends, like Wai Wai (Oscar Leung). Or perhaps you all have misunderstood my intention, but I really just chat about cars and the scripts with my colleagues. Maybe they think I'm very talkative, or very rough. People that know me know that I'm very direct and whether if I'm happy or sad, it's all shown on my face. I see two sides of this. As an artist, being called a flirt, that means I'm very attractive. Actually it's a compliment."

It was rumored Kevin Cheng had a nasty attitude and pretended to be a Big Brother while shooting TVB series Gloves Come Off. He treated the other artists rudely. His co-stars Kenny Wong and Nancy Wu attended an environmental friendly car promotional event and defended the TV King.

Kenny denied that Kevin was trying to pretend to be the Big Brother: "Why would he be older than me? I am older. When we were shooting the boxing scenes, we both had suggestions and opinions to share. I had suggestions too and perhaps there is some misunderstanding there." He expressed they often joke around and are in good terms. He has also never heard of anyone cussing out someone, the most rough language used was : "You bad boy, hit so hard."

Nancy also didn't believe Kevin was pretending to be a Big Brother. Instead, she greatly praised Kevin for becoming more open in the recent years and isn't as cool as before. "Perhaps there are some scenes is gets really agitated, and that caused the misunderstanding. Kevin has become more open in the recent years, often joking with us all. He even smiles more often now." It was rumored Sin Ying Ho [and Gregory Lee's father Sing Yeh] said Kevin was pretending to be a Big Brother, Nancy does not believe Master Sin would say such thing.

Nancy praised the attractive 5-seater new model. It was said a 5-seater is not enough for her 7 rumored boyfriends. Nancy laughed: "Just shove the other two in the back trunk. In fact, among the 7 rumored boyfriends, only Deep Ng and Kenneth Ma were true!"

TVB new series Gloves Come Off (GCO) starts off with high ratings, averaging at 31 points (~2.01 million viewers). Yesterday Kevin Cheng, Nancy Wu, Selena Li, Natalie Tong and Katy Kung were promoting for the series. Kevin will be heading to Xiamen very soon to shoot for a new Mainland series and won't be able to do promotions in HK until May. However, he has confidence on the series because its a fresh new topic and is eye catching to male viewers. It was said GCO is a rip off of the film A Fighter's Blues. Kevin said: "The TV series is 25 episodes, so can explain the story in a different way, in a more enriching way. It's hard to compare TV series to a film."

First time playing opposite of a child star, Kevin greatly praises that there are sparks between him and the young actor. He said: "I'm in the pit too, I should have a son. I like him a lot, it's a good thing that he likes to talk back, better than having no excitement, that's how there is hope in the acting. If I'm lucky to have a son in the future, I hope he'll have that type of personality." Kevin has already exchanged phone numbers with the young actor and will be keeping in touch. "His grades in school are pretty good, hope my future son will be just as smart."

In the series, Nancy plays a mute and deaf boxer, where she had to cram herself into [learning] sign language and boxing. She shouted expressing the difficulty: "For the sign language, I can still take it home to study, but the most difficult was thast I had to learn boxing over a short period of time, had to train myself to box like a pro. It was physically challenging, but I still enjoyed the entire process." Nancy's first opponent was Tsui Wing, and then she had to fight a real female boxer. Even if the female boxer went easy on her, Nancy still felt her hits were painful. During filming, she got herself some injuries on her thigh. Also, yesterday at the promotion Selena carelessly exposed her red laced underpants, making her feel very embarrassed.

Raymond Wong, Kenny Wong, Nancy Wu, Natalie Tong, Selena Li and the rest of the cast to TVB new series Gloves Come Off attended the promotional event, where a boxing trainer taught the skills of Chinese boxing. Among the actresses Nancy, who plays a mute boxer in the series, performed the best. During the interview, she expressed she has interest in boxing, but won't consider participating in a competition.

Nancy was asked if the popular reality show Bride Wannabe has a celebrity version, will she be willing to participate? She immediately did 'tai chi' with her hands and shook her head: "I don't think I'm a 'sing lui', I won't listen to what the advisor recommends. I won't comment on the advisors, but the program is quite entertaining and is a good experience for the participants. However, I think girls shouldn't let the 'sing lui' label affect them. The most important is to live happily."

As for Natalie Tong, she usually appears pretty weak, but did pretty well on the boxing practice. She admits she was influenced by ex-boyfriend Amigo Chui and had often went boxing in the past. In regards to Amigo fined by the court because he didn't attend his driving improvement course and he has also decided not to drive again? Natalie expressed as a friend, she is willing to be the driver if they were to go out to eat. She said: "It's a good thing that he temporarily stops driving. It's not a problem if he starts driving again in the future."

When Evergreen Mak meets Nancy Wu --- one became popular for his despicable role as Fei Fan Gor (No Regrets), while the other was acknowledged for her evil concubine roles. Unexpectedly these two were able to create heartwarming love sparks. In the current airing TVB series Daddy Good Deeds, Evergreen and Nancy play a loving couple. Asking in a harsh way: "Is this considered evil stands out and can finally be good people?" The two said together: "We will do whatever role TVB gives us. We never got to choose."

In fact, Evergreen has been with TVB for 25 years already, and Nancy is already stepping into her 10th year into her acting career. This is the their first time having scenes opposite of each other, as they play a loving married couple that struggles with their own careers, but are mutually supportive. To Evergreen, a caring husband is nothing too difficult for him, he's familiar with it. In reality, he is a father of two - one boy, one girl. Not only does he look after his own parents, he also does not neglect his in-laws. "The happiest is the series finale. It is also something I could do in reality, that is the whole family under one roof. We all have our own personal space and can often have dinner together."

Works Part-Time To Pay Off Debt

If Evergreen was the director, he should be able to turn his own story into a movie. He moved to Hong Kong from Shunde (in Guangdong) when he was 12. In 1987, he participated in TVB's first 'Super New Star Contest' and entered the industry from there. He has once experienced one year where he had no income at all, and only relied on overdrafts and credit cards to live. He worked part-time as a salesman at a shopping mall and paid off his debts in that way. When his acting career was still going nowhere, his mother and brother were diagnosed with cancer at that same time. His brother died at the age of 26, but Evergreen was fortunate to have the opportunity to continue being filial to his mother.

Although he had an especially tough journey, it has nothing to do with him choosing acting as his career. "Honestly, I often feel discouraged. I don't earn much being in this industry, and really can't raise a family. I can continue working in sales at a shopping mall, which clearly is more stable than acting. However, my wife knows that if I didn't choose this path, I wouldn't be as happy as I am today. Her support for me is very important."

Evergreen was in the industry for 23 years before he encountered the 'Fei Fan Gor' role in No Regrets. It is the first time he won TVB's Best Supporting Actor Award, and finally he reaches to popularity. "In fact, I have never changed my acting style, was Fei Fan Gor especially good? No, it is because luck hasn't come yet. I am not that type of lucky actor that can wait for scripts. I don't have the opportunity to wait, wait for a good role to be given to me. This is my life, I am just doing my best on each and every role I get."

Half Evil, Half Good

Nancy Wu is the 2008 'Most Improved Actress Award' winner. Since she entered the industry, her acting career was considered pretty stabled, no fears or dangers. We all agree that she's a good actress, but in 2010 and 2011, she made it on the nominations for 'Best Supporting Actress', but left empty-handed. "In the last few years, the more I think about it, the more I feel that each individual's luck is different. Sometimes it feels like everyone acknowledges you, but you don't get the awards. In fact, it is not necessary to put heavy thoughts on these gain or losses. Getting the award does not mean you are the best and no awards does not mean you are the worst."

Well-known for her villain roles, Nancy said she never got to choose her roles: "All along, I only got to choose whether to do it or not. But to me, that does not matter either, I don't separate good roles and villain roles, it's just there are differences in the roles. I won't categorize roles, it's just because viewers see the effect that they start categorizing good and villain roles."

Don't Let Past Success Hinder Future Success

Evergreen has also started viewing things more openly, he frankly said that no matter how successful 'Fei Fan Gor' was, it is all last year. "I remember several years ago, Ng Mang Tat told me, don't let previous achievements become today's prejudice and hinder future achievements. Thinking all day about the past will just hinder you from improving. Whether or not I can produce another 'Fei Fan Gor', that is my goal." He used Bobby Au-Yeung's words, that he used during his emotional acceptance speech back when he won the Best Actor award: "There are some things in this world, that Heaven have left for you. Just as long as you do your own part, Heaven will definitely reward you."

Earlier it was rumored that because Nancy Wu wanted to get back with Kenneth Ma, so she took initiative and asked to go on a business trip with him and tried to impress the 'mother-in-law'. In fact, it turns out Nancy often visited the set of Kenneth's TVB series The Hippocratic Crush and was even willing to be an Extra in the series, just for a chance to get back with Kenneth. Last week, Nancy appeared in the series for 6 seconds as a doctor in the surgery room.

In 2008, Nancy and Kenneth sparked love after participating in Strictly Come Dancing together, but it was rumored Kenneth couldn't stand Nancy's "princess illness", and eventually broke up with a few years ago. However, Nancy had always wanted to get back with Kenneth, the #2 Best Deal in the industry (#1 is Moses Chan), so she was unwilling to let go of the relationship all along. She worked hard to patch things up and even moved into the Tai Koo Shing neighborhood Kenneth lived in. A month ago, it was reported that Nancy took initiative and asked TVB to let her and Kenneth go on a business trip to New Zealand. It was also said Nancy tried to impress Kenneth's mom, but unfortunately Kenneth already decided to break up with her. Nancy finally let go and moved out of Tai Koo Shing.

Yesterday reporters contacted Nancy and regarding her 6 second appearance on The Hippocratic Crush last week, Nancy admitted: "Hahaha! I was just playing and you all still could recognize me? That's amazing. I just wanted to have some fun. I only had the courage to play because I covered my face and only could see the eyes." Reporters said that day Nancy wasn't paid to be an Extra, she admitted it was an unpaid appearance: "If I can play, then I won't mind if its unpaid. I have a very good relationship with Tak Gor (producer Poon Ka Tak) and I know the directors very well." That day were you visiting Kenneth on the set? Nancy did not deny, but she was stuttering a little in her response: "In fact, I knew a lot of the artists in the studio. I was just purely going in....they were shooting that surgery scene for a couple of days, I knew many of my colleagues in that scene and coincidentally I had a braek too, so I went in. I was just thinking to take a peek, but then why not play a little too." When asked if again if she was visiting Kenneth on the set? She said: "I knew many of the colleagues there, I was visiting many people, haha!"

When asked if she was still Kenneth's girlfriend that day? Nancy said: "I don't know what to say. I didn't think that scene would be so obvious. Perhaps its because I've been in the industry for some time now and audience are familiar with my looks, so just looking at my eyes, they can recognize me." She described that day as a very nervous and a little frightening day. She was afraid she wouldn't look professional enough in the surgery scene, but fortunately the doctor that was directing the cast did a good job and resulted in a smooth shoot.

Producer Poon Ka Tak admitted Nancy was visiting the set and conveniently made a guest appearance too, but he stressed: "To express our respect to the doctors and nurses, 99% of the medical staff seen in the surgery room were our own artists, and they are not temporary actors (extras). I'm not saying Extras aren't good, but they weren't trained and we didn't have time to choose, so for all surgery scenes, we used our own artists, which increased our budget. This is one of our sincere productions."
