The day before yesterday, Wu Qi Li (吴绮莉) brought along her 9 year old daughter, Wu Zhuo Lin (吴卓林 - nicknamed 'Xiao Long Nu' 小龙女 because of her father's Chinese name, Chen Long 成龙) and appeared in Hong Kong. To avoid the media, she hurriedly brought her daughter into a small eating place along the road.

Ever since 1999, after she gave birth to her daughter, Wu Zhuo Lin, Wu Qi Li has been taking care of her by herself. To bring her daughter up in better circumstances, she bought an apartment in Shanghai in 2002 and even sent her daughter to an elite school. However, every year, she would bring her daughter back to Hong Kong for a holiday. In the afternoon, she took her daughter for tuition, stopping her car at a road next to Vivian Chow's (周慧敏) home. In recent days, Vivian has been under relentless speculation and is the main target of the media, hence there is a big group of reporters waiting outside her house. After her daughter's tuition ended, while she was walking across the street to her car, she was discovered by the reporters. Upon realising that, she immediately took her daughter's hand and walked away.

Wu Qi Li talked on the phone, and walked at a breakneck speed, with Little Zhuo Lin obediently walking along with her. After walking for a while, the two of them walked into a shop by the roadside selling 'Wonton Noodles'. Later on, she was accompanied by a middle aged woman to collect her car outside Vivian's house, leaving her daughter behind to eat. A little while later, she and her friend stopped the car outside the shop, and under the protection of her friend and the store owner, she hurried her daughter into the car then immediately drove away. After leaving the entertainment circle, Wu Qi Li has been concentrating on doing business. When interviewed by reporters, she said: "You all go and photograph Vivian Chow, not me. She is going to come down soon."

Her daughter, Zhuo Lin, has a very fair complexion. She wears spectacles, and looks refined and polite. Even though she grew up in a one-parent family, she is still very bubbly and cheerful. When she saw reporters photographing her, she was curious and perplexed, and kept glancing over at them.

Yesterday Ada Choi and Kenny Wong were busy filming TVB's Superwoman/飛女正傳 at Tseung Kwan O's TV City. The scene was about Kenny who plays a police officer, was shocked by something unexpected and fell from a great height. Seeing this, Ada who plays a wonder woman/神奇女俠, leaped to save him.

Although Ada has a body double to perform hanging upside down and rapid fall shots, she still felt this series is the most demanding since she entered the industry. She said: "I play a flying wonder woman, lots of times I have to do midair stunts and fly around. Although there is a body double to help me, there are many scenes that I have to personally do. I think from now on I have to do wire stunts three, four times a week."

Ada revealed that her husband had given her pointers on how to turn around and land, but after watching her double perform a series of actions, she felt it was definitely not easy. She said: "Actually being an actress it's a relatively comfortable job , all the actions are tried out first by martial arts choreographer/武指 and stuntmen to ensure safety." Ada said this drama is a comedy, when she first read the script she thought it was very funny, she hoped after "The Gem of Life", this series will bring the audience some freshness.

Step by Step

Tavia has been in the industry for 9 years, when compared to the fa dans that have debuted after her, her pace is relatively slow. Although she has previously won the Most Improved Female Actress Award in 2003, her spirit seemed to be missing something. Recently her spirit has shot up rapidly, once the name Tavia is said, the first thing that pops into your head is the series ‘Moonlight Resonance’ and the role she acted remarkably in, ‘Lor lui’. This role that has been approved has affected her career to progress by leaps and bounds.

“The time in 9 years is not considered long, nor considered short, but ultimately the experience of it was a good one, my personality is rather slow. In this complicated industry, there are a lot of things that need to be matched with time, in comparison to if there’s much popularity already in the beginning. The feeling of taking it step by step is more comfortable and gives you a sense of security. The pressure will only cause me to be unable to give my best performance. I’ve once thought: “If I was successful from the very beginning, would there still be the Tavia Yeung today?” and when I thought of that, I couldn’t accept it myself, maybe because I hope that I will not receive less in return for what I have given. At this moment, people are satisfied with my acting, although I would accept it, because I really have the time of 9 years to equip myself. On the contrary, if I feel that I have an area that I have not done well in, even if the audience agrees, I would continue to regret.” Even though she is slower than the others, but there will be one day where she will get further than all the others.

Back to square one

In these two years, Tavia has given people the feeling that she has (her image) has completely changed. From the easy-going young girl image back in the day, up until now where her qualities and female charisma have exuded from somewhere unknown. It’s like finally being able to grasp which direction is the right one, like in the series ‘Dicey Business’, the role as Tam Chu Mei (Mimi) has already brought a fresh feeling to the audience. Now with ‘Moonlight Resonance’ that has been the hot topic, allowing there to be approval for her acting technique.

“Although I have received a lot of positive appraisal, but it doesn’t mean that it will last forever, this makes me think of a recent ‘chow –’ interview, she said ‘After acting in a successful film, I hope that everything goes back to square one, to challenge newer roles.’ That is the attainment of an outstanding artist. The audience needs surprises, moreover, every role has areas that vary, if I always bring along the successful image to act, then in return the fresh feeling will be gone and I will be unable to completely bring out the personality of a new character. I hope the audience sees not only one Tavia Yeung, but sees many different Tavia Yeung(s).” Though said that as an artiste you need luck on your side, but one must also be hard working, because the audience judges the outstanding technique of acting.

Love and Marriage

Tavia has been in the industry for many years, recently with high popularity, rumours have maintained at a level close to none. When the topic love and marriage was brought it, it seemed as though it didn’t match entirely with her healthy image. But ‘women will marry’ is false, she describes herself as a sentimental person, the gloomy things in life will be looked at very importantly as well. Even if in this day, female’s percept marriage as less significant, but she continues to believe that marriage is sublimating love to another level.

“Marriage is really sweet, also a testimony pledging their love, willingly and responsibly. It makes me think of when I participated in Claire Yiu and Thomas Lam’s wedding, the love between the two of them; even the friends by their side could easily sense it. I still remember reading about it in a report, when Thomas massaged Claire and she asked ‘Will you massage me for the rest of my life?’ Thomas answered, ‘Of course I will do this for you.’ Claire then asks again, ‘If one day you leave, how [will I] manage?’ Thomas answered, ‘If one day I have left, I will come back to look at you secretly.’ Once I finished reading that report, I was so touched that I was tearing. This is love, it is a sweet kind of feeling you get from love.”

Behind the Scenes

When asked Tavia, an artiste for many years, what type of role she has never tried before and wants to try most, she immediately answered an evil role. As an active person, she instantly preformed a glare that would give you goose bumps. She has an open, bright and active personality and cooperating with her has made this filming process end successfully, under a very cheerful atmosphere.

Recently, Tony Leung and Carina Lau’s wedding album has been revealed, amongst the photos includes one where Tony is kissing Carina; the 2 newlyweds seem to still be as romantic as ever. Some women will make people disregard their age; people think of her as a symbol, a sign of our era, Carina Lau is one of them. Perhaps many people dislike her, and she has never been regarded as a typical beauty, but noone can deny that she is someone who never bows down to fate and setbacks. She is a woman who has become more and more spectactular, like a touch of red wine, not dazzling, but her warmth will make people drunk.

ELLE: How does it feel to be a newlywed?

Carina: Initially, our wedding was only held to comfort both our mothers, but after receiving so many blessing from friends, I now feel that this wedding was held for ourselves. After getting married, it feels very good, feels that life has entered a new phase. In the past, I liked to party with many people, and drink wine. Now, I still drink wine, but I like to have a glass of red wine at home, read a good book, carefully savouring the taste.

ELLE: Many women will choose to marry in this season, can you share some of your experiences?

Carina: I feel very lucky that the whole process has been so beautiful. Of course, during preparations, there were many trivial details, and constant troubles, but now when I think back, I feel every moment is a worthy memory as an aftertaste to life. I hope that all the new brides will enjoy this time that belongs to her. In the process, she will definitely feel nervous, and skin state will be worse, hence she has to remember to drink lots of water, guarantee sleep, and don’t think too much about something that can’t be resolved in a day, get a good night’s sleep first.

Rumored couple, Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu, entered into the music industry together this year. On Christmas eve, both of them attended the newcomers' award ceremony held by Metro at Tin Shui Wai. Both of them got the male and female singer award respectively. When said that this was a 'pork chop' award, Bosco expressed that this was also counted as a confidence-booster. Then when asked if he was confident about tonight's award ceremony, he said that he felt that William Chan should be able to get the award. Myolie Wu said that her album was just being released in November, and was worried that her fans might not be familiar with the songs yet. She never thought about the number of awards she will be getting, but will try her best to attend all of the award ceremonies. Other than the more 'manly' style which she had on for the night, she had also prepared sexy nightgowns.

Metro held its 'Newcomers Award Ceremony' at Tin Shui Wai last night, and even gave out five newcomer awards first. Big groups of fans were squeezing in the three-storey shopping centre to support their idols. Wong Cho Lam brought up the rumor of Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu up on stage, making both of them, whom were sitting down below the stage together, to pretend and act by throwing the seat and shoe to retaliate, showing off their chemistry.

Metro gave out five awards on the night before to male, female, overseas, group, and composer-singer newcomer categories. Bosco, Wong Cho Lam, Myolie Wu, Terry Tsui, Det Di, JJ, Vega group and many more got a head-start first. Though rumored couple, Bosco and Myolie, deliberately stood apart from each other on the stage, they were sitting together below the stage instead, and even appeared together in a grey couple suit. Cho Lam was being asked by the host on whom he thought was good for the male newcomers, and he immediately supported William Chan and Bosco. Then when he was asked about the female newcomers, Myolie, whom was below the stage, immediately stood up to hint that he must support her. However, she became his target of teasing, "Originally, I wanted to say you, but when I mentioned Bosco just now, it's already meant for you as well." Bosco and Myolie immediately pretended to retaliate by throwing the seat and shoe, making the scene very comical.

As for Cho Lam talking about their rumor, Bosco laughed and said, "He must be careful. If he ever has any rumors, I'm bound to talk back at him about it. I'm a vengeful person. This time, I will note it down in my notebook. [Celebrating with Myolie?] Even if there's celebration, it'll be with my colleagues at the music company. Wait until the award ceremonies are all over, then at that time, we'll eat whatever she likes." Bosco expressed that although this award was like a boost of confidence for him, it also meant that there was more pressure. During the interview period, both Myolie and Bosco chose to 'strangle' Cho Lam, and were being teased that they had unspoken chemistry. Cho Lam even said, "Having rumors isn't frightening. What's frightening is that the rumors are true! Actually I didn't want to talk about it, but when I saw them sitting together, so I decided to bring it up."

On the other hand, Bosco held his autograph session yesterday. In the midst of it, there were kissing games that were being played. There was a fan whom managed to win and was allowed to kiss him, but she said, "All these is meant for Myolie." He denied that their relationship was being exposed, and only said that he was compatible with Myolie onscreen.

Both of them were very elated for this win. And Wong Cho Lam, whom also obtained the 'Composer-singer Newcomer' award, grabbed the opportunity to talk about the rumor of Bosco and Myolie. Bosco and Myolie counter-attacked back at Cho Lam, with Bosco pretending to grab his seat and rush up the stage, while Myolie was even more comical by removing her high heels and pretended to throw it in Cho Lam's direction. This pair of rumored couple seriously had chemistry.

As to Cho Lam's teasings, Myolie pretended to strangle the other party to vent her displeasure. The scene was comical. Later on, Myolie will try my best to attend all of the different music award ceremonies, and at that time, she will be dressed both sexily and more 'manly' style.

When asked if he would celebrate with Myolie by having a meal, Bosco said, "During these few months, (I'm) grateful to my colleagues for helping out at the promotions, so (I) should have a meal with them. If (I) can get another award with Myolie again, then (I) will celebrate. [Will you cook yourself?] I won't so easily cook myself." When talking about tonight's newcomer award for Metro Hits Award, Bosco thought that William Chan has a good chance in clinching it.

Ella's eyes were swollen yesterday when she attended an activity at a radio station yesterday. A lot of people thought that was because Ella was upset because there have been media reports that her father's company is facing closure. Ella explained that she didn't use false eye lashes and didn't apply a lot of make up either, that's why her eyes appeared swollen. Speaking about her father's company, Ella responded "I don't know about my father's business. I only know that there has been some internal re-organization in his company, but I hardly take any notice of his business anyway." (Will you invest in your father's company?) I only know how to sing and act, I don't know anything about business. I hope the media reports don't have any negative impact on his company. I am worried of cause, but not to the extend that I get my eyes swollen by crying over it. This "credit crunch" has affected a lot of people who may own less now."
