TVB'S Next Generation of Fa Dans - Tavia Yeung & Selena Li
Saturday, November 15, 2008
The start of the article talks about Charmaine and Gigi slowing giving up their places as TVB's top Fa Dans and Myolie Wu's fluctuating acting skills; Sonija's lack of fate with the audience; Mellisa Ng having given all she's got and Bernice's contract issues, leaving some of the second class actresses with hopes of promotion...Other five articles: Linda Chung, Selena Li, Yan Yi (daughter of Adam Cheng and Fei Fei), Suki Chui and Niki Chow.
Tavia YeungAge: 29
Entered Entertainment Industry: 1999 through the 13th TVB Acting Class
Series in 07/08: On the First Beat; Fathers and Sons; Building Blocks of Life; Heart of Greed; Moonlight Resonance and imminent series include Lau Sam Ho and Sweetness in the Salt.
In the past nine years Tavia hasn't had to fret about a lack of acting opportunities, though even as a frequent second lead, she has remained quite anonymous. Even newcomers who've entered the industry afer her have surpassed her one by one. Regardless how much she tries, her efforts have often gone unnoticed, leaving them in vain.
"I don't have the background, the "backstage support", what do I possibly have to compete with?"
Short of persistence, you won't get an opportunity. Moonlight Resonance has finally put an end to her dangling fortune.
"I really enjoy and treasure this, because one or two months later, people might forget who you are."
It's this simple sense of perserverance that makes Tavia deserving of an opportunity.
Selena Li
Age: 27
Year entered entertainment industry: 2003
Way she entered the entertainment industry: Took part in Miss Hong Kong, and won Miss Photogenic and Miss Talent
07/08 Dramas: On The First Beat, Survivor's Law 2, The Master Of Tai Chi, The Most Beautiful Seventh Day, Forensic Heroes 2, The Four and When Easterly Showers Fall On The Sunny West
Upcoming Dramas: Just Love 2 and Palace Scheme/Lau Sam Ho
An artiste's greatest regret is to miss one more step into the winning circle. Having filmed many B-standard series, one after another, there are few people who actually know her name. Becoming famous waits for no one and if she still does not film a popular role, she will follow in the footsteps of Elaine Yiu, Leila Tong and sharon chan and become another sister who cannot rise.
