In this generation, for anyone that has computer, can become a judge themselves. The hot topic now revolves around criticisms about Lau Sam Ho. As for Tavia Yeung, she is the hot favorite for Best Actress this year and will compete with Sheren Tang.

“I support Sheren Tang. I hope that she will get the award. If I win, I will be happy too. If I do not win, I hope that evil imperial concubine can open a breakthrough road for me. “

“Doing good deeds, speaking good words, showing good will’. How come Tavia turns into “Sam Ho”?

“Therefore, I’m worry that audiences cannot accept that I turn evil.”

Tavia entered this industry for 10 years and became a good person for nine and a half years with zero rumours and zero gossips etc. Will It be more suitable for her to portray “Sam Ho”?

Although interview stated that Tavia Yeung is the hot favorite for Best Actress this year, however Tavia expressed that she supports Sheren Tang. Not because in purpose but the competitor is really strong.

“If you ask me whether I hope to win the award or not, of course I hope. But I’m more towards reality. Anything will have to see properly first. I portrayed a villain role in [Beyond]. Wonder the audiences will like or not? I entered this industry for 10 years and became a good person for nine and a half years. I have the “obedient” sign on my forehead and my style has already stated at that position. Actually this is quite a big problem.”

Tavia Yeung is not as excited as expected.

“Actually, I’m not that ready yet. Will it be too fast to win Best Actress award after entered this field for 10 years? Even Louise Lee and Michelle Yim only received the awards after working for 30 years. Now all the news is created by media. I don’t know what company is thinking. The best is faces everything with normal attitude. Even if I never win the award, I will not be too disappointed.”

From last time till now, Tavia Yeung did not hope for instant success. As for the Fa Dan now, most of them came out from beauty pageant. She knew she had her own limited potentials and chose to enter training class instead and climbed up step by step. She graduated in 1999 and started from no name, no surname and no dialogues. Her early jobs scope included bringing out awards for Gallen Lo, who was the Best Actor that year.

“I thought that nobody would notice me at that time. However, the next day, I received a praising call from Artiste Department. It seemed that everyone did not like that job except for me that was smiling whole night.”

The world is fair. There are not many people like Tavia that did not mind to do a small job like this. Tavia Yeung knew her own position since last time. She does all her best in her all her jobs and leaves everything to fate.

“Outsiders always say that TVB will have favoritisms towards those contracted artistes. I wish to say that company will know whether we put efforts in our works or not. If we never put efforts, company will not support us blindly.”

Tavia Yeung received “Most Improved Actress” award in 2003 and “Best Supporting Actress” award last year. She seldom takes leave and films at least 4 series per year. She is the female artiste that films most series after Charmaine Sheh. When asked her to compare [Beyond] and [War and Beauty], she couldn’t give an answer.

“I never watched “War and Beauty” before. Even “Rosy Business”, I only watched 1 to 2 episodes only.”

Actually first line artistes really do not have time to watch series. They will keep on filming series and will only see results after few years. In the group photos in TVB Anniversary Lighting Ceremony, Tavia’s position is increasing year by year. Last year, she stood at 2nd line accompanied with Myolie Wu and Christine Ng. This year, she stood at the front line and accompanied with Charmaine Sheh and Dodo Cheng on the left. After them, standing in the middle is Uncle Six!

“I’m very happy to shake hands with Uncle Six. Since I entered this field, I only shook hands with him twice time. The previous time was when I received 10 years recognition award. It is nice to see a 102 years old man that is still so healthy and energetic.”

“I did not have much news all these while. I’m lucky that gossips seldom revolve me.”

There are advantages and disadvantages. Seldom appear on newspaper means that audiences might forget her. Last time Charmaine Sheh who organized a birthday party could appear on few magazines’ main page and Fala Chen became a hot topic amongst audiences after wearing bra only in series. What about Tavia Yeung?

“Each time only happens on other peoples. Whenever reporters asked me to reply a few words, then I would appear at the dialogue box with the reports. Maybe you all can just treat me as not qualified enough to compete. I prefer quietness.”

If want to compete, it would happen 10 years ago and would not wait until now. Tavia Yeung is qualified enough to compete but her character is lazy to compete. She does not have enemies and her best friends are Christine Ng and Claire Yiu.

“I’m also close with Fala Chen. We will talk about our own problems. Everyone said that she appeared bitchy, but how come they all catch her sexy angle to photograph her? This is unfair for her.

Tavia Yeung defended her good friend. Really does good deeds, speaks good words and shows good will’.

“Actually as an artiste, who doesn’t want to climb to high position? If need to use strategy and means to do it, can we hide it? At last whether audiences accept you or not, will depends on what you have done. I rather become a ordinary artiste and will be respected in the future.”

“I think, after a few more years, there will be little kids that come over to me and said, [Yeung Yi Jie Jie, I watched your series since small!]”

Tavia Yeung belongs to the minority artistes that satisfied of her current position. Maybe it is due to her family background. She grew up in Shatin estate house. Her father passed away when she was 2 years old. Her mother re-married again after that. That time she was 7 years old and she called her step-father, “Father”.

“Father was a very conservative person. He loves us but he would not show it out and would do a lot of things for us. He was the one that cooked for our family. He knew my favorite food and always went to Mongkok to buy and cooked for me.”

Her step-father passed away in 2005. Tavia Yeung was filming “Land Of Wealth” at that time. She purposely took a few days leave in order to see her father for the last time.

“I feel regretful. I have not earned much money for him to lead a comfortable life. Now I will be filial towards my mother. My wish is that I can take my mother to go for vacation every year. Hope that I can take her to travel around the world.”

Earn money is Tavia’s biggest goal. She bought a property at Tseung Kwan O a few years back and now she wish to buy a bigger house.

“Last time there were many chances to earn extra income. However, there are newcomers now that are younger and sexier. If compared to us that are old, ugly and not qualified for sexiness, haiz, no chance!”

“I really envy my sister that can get married and give birth. She has a happy and blissful family. My niece is ½ years old now and very cute. But I don’t have time to think about my own marriage yet. I hope that I can work for another 10 years. If I’m still single at that time, at least I don’t have to lose both marriage and career. Moreover, marriage needs a partner!”

Before this, Tavia was rumoured with Lam Wai Kit and Yeung Ji Kiu. Regarding love relationship, Tavia blushed and felt shy.

“My love condition is blank now. Blank but comfortable! Rich (fu guai) boyfriend? No, the pants are very expensive?” [Pant expensive is also “fu guai” in terms of pronounciation]

It seems like many artistes are approaching 30 years old this year. For female artistes, there are Myolie Wu, Kate Tsui, Bernice Liu, Niki Chow, Ella Koon. For male artistes, there are Raymond Lam, Ron Ng, Amigo Chui, Jay Chou, etc. Even artistes will also grow up. “I always tell myself : I’m 30 years old already! I will get used it it if I keep on reminding myself.” Tavia Yeung will treat it as a new start for her. “But as you say, Lam Fung also 30 years old? I really don’t feel that. I always feel that he is much older than that.” All the artistes stated in the list above have gone through their own tough times. If compare, whether there are awards or not, Tavia Yeung definitely is a lucky person.

Recently the hot topic in TVB is the winner of Best Actor and Best Actress. Amongst the competition for Best Actress, [Fourth Mistress], Sheren Tang and evil imperial concubine in [Beyond], Tavia Yeung are the hot favourites. Tavia Yeung received [Best Improved Actress] in 2003 and [Best Supporting Actress] last year. Will she make it again this year and become Best Actress?

Tavia Yeung who was born in 1979, already entered this field for 10 years. She graduated from 12th TVB Acting Training Class in 1999. At that time, she was given the title [Pirated Maggie Cheung]. Recently, she received many awards and she was given recognition in her career.

Luck increases after 33 years old

Fengshui master, Ding Kap Mui expressed that Tavia Yeung’s horoscope is Goat. This year although clashes with Tai Sui, but it will not leads to decline in fortunes. “[Clashes with Tai Sui] is considered not a good thing for some people, but it is different for an artiste. As [Clashes with Tai Sui] represents many attacks in this year, but for an artiste, many challenges can lead to development in career. Moreover, based on the analysis of Tavia Yeung’s fate, there will be development in her career achievement.”

However, Tavia Yeung belongs to Wood in the five phases of Chinese philosophy. She will have to compete with others in terms of awards and even have to compete few times. Moreover, Tavia’s career and popularity will increase after 31 years old and 33 years old. Master Ding said, “She will have fire luck at 33 years old. Her fate suits fire and there will be more development chances in her career and her career road will become smoother. Therefore, it will be big chance for her to win awards!”

How evil is Kam Ling

Tavia Yeung who portrayed villain role, Kam Ling, does all the evil deeds and is detested by everyone. In reality, what type of people is considered as an evil person? Master Ding said, “From a face angle of a person. If a person that has the face features as follows, then he/she is considered as having an evil appearance, including a stick out eyebrow bone, a distant eyebrow, huge deep lively eyes, thin lips, spinning ears, small ear hole, cheek bone behind ears, low ears etc. Other than that, high, long, and straight nose or crooked nose, and it looks like an arch when we look from the side of the nose, these peoples are categorized as having evil appearance naturally.

So, is Tavia Yeung considered as having an evil appearance? Master Ding laughed and said, “Tavia Yeung has a pair of kind-hearted eyes and only has minor part of face features of an evil appearance. Like (high, long, and straight nose, a pair of huge lively eyes, thick eyebrow) can only be categorized as vicious appearance and not evil appearance.”

On 20th October afternoon, HK idol Raymond Lam went to Guangzhou to attend an event, sing songs and also take part in a competition. Raymond who does not have much series aired this year, put his focus on music and does not have to compete for TVB Anniversary’s Best Actor and therefore, he feels more relaxed. Regarding his prediction on who will be the winners of the awards, Raymond Lam supports Tavia Yeung and Wayne Lai.

Regarding prediction on Best Actor and Best Actress awards this year, Raymond Lam expressed that he hopes that Tavia Yeung can win the Best Actress awards. He collaborated with Tavia for many times and he always feel that Tavia Yeung has great acting skills. Tavia tried a villain role for the first time in [Beyond] and it is hard to predict the breakthrough for her until the end. Meanwhile, Charmaine Sheh and Sheren Tang are great too. As for Best Actor, Raymond Lam of course chooses the hot favourite “Chai Gao”, Wayne Lai and hopes that he can win the award.

Reporter asked if she wants to play a deceitful role too? Linda said “In fact I do. I feel that role is very difficult to develop. I always get bullied being a good girl, and I have to cry a lot. I want to be a bully for a change.”

TVB Anniversary Awards is coming soon. There were already discussions and interviews regarding possibility for hot favourite Best Actress that was “Sei Lai Lai”, Sheren Tang. However Raymond Lam reminded everyone that Tavia Yeung’s Beyond The Realm Of Conscience will come in the month of TVB Anniversary. It means that “Best Actress” maybe will change to palace concubine, Tavia Yeung who is TVB’s biological daughter.

Tavia Yeung who entered this industry for 10 years, from minor roles to main lead, her acting ability has already up to standard. Although she cannot be compared to Sheren who was in this field for 20 years but the situation for Tavia Yeung in Beyond The Realm Of Conscience this time looked similar with War and Beauty which was very popular last time. Moreover, Tavia portrayed an evil concubine this time and added with casts from Heart Of Greed serial. As long as Tavia did all her best in this series, she is qualified enough to receive the Best Actress Award. Due to the control in Sheren’s contract, it is believed that she will receive My Favourite Character Award. Hope that the competition of the reporters will not raise dissatisfaction of “Sei Lai Lai” supporters.

Note: Haha, Raymond’s been supporting Tavia since MR, because after all he did say in a clip that in his heart, Tavia was best actress already..

Lam Fung uses work to fill the gap that love has left.
Translated by: disconsolatedreams @ Raymond’s AF thread

Lam Fung has participated in both acting and singing and has achieved good results, as seen from his Concert DVD that has been released recently already reaching platinum status. As he has achieved much recognition in both the music and TV world, when he accepted a part in 《巴巴闭边个够我查笃撑》(a/n: sorry i really have no idea what the english title for this is.. ): ), he happily spoke of his big plans for the future.

Although he has had both a successful concert and good DVD sales, he is not planning to be ambitious and have a second concert by the end of the year. One reason is that he doesn’t want to repeat the situation that he encountered: having to handle the filming for GTL and rush to prepare intensively for his concert. Another reason is that he wants to “collect” more songs before holding another concert. After finishing filming in October, he is planning to prepare for his mandarin album to be released at the end of this year. He also revealed that if he has the chance next year, he will go beyond Hongkong to hold concerts. Having achieved such outstanding results within a mere two years, Fung thanks his company for giving him so many valuable opportunities and time for him to try new things. He also mentioned that he does not have much high expectations for the end-of-year music awards, but would be satisfied with a nomination for best male singer.

Meanwhile, the dramas that he has had a role in have not been aired, and he admits, jokingly, that this year he is most probably not in the running for any awards and will be in the audience instead. However, regarding the Best Actor position, he revealed that his choice would be 黎耀祥 (a/n: I dunno what his english name is again, but I know he was lin chi yung in Moonlight Resonance…if anyone remembers.) and his character 柴九. He said that 黎耀祥 was, in everyone’s eyes, known for being a great actor, and regretted not having many chances to work with him in Moonlight Resonance and hoped to have an opportunity for some form of co-operation. Throughout the interview, Fung talked a lot about his career, but in relation to love, he sighed and mentioned that nothing has come up so far. “Yes I really do want to date! But the work that I do gives me a strong sense of fulfillment”, he says, showing extremely obviously that he wants to date very much.

Note: 黎耀祥 is Wayne and 柴九 is Chai Gau, his character in Rosy Business.
