News. i got this from http://twins.danrak.com

10/2/04 (oriental daily)

yesterday daniel celebrated his 30th b'day at the set of "princess's revenge" and the crew got ready 2 cakes for him, presented to daniel by both the female leads, gillian chung and tao hong. afterwards, the cew requested both girls to give him a b'day kiss but all 3 of them shyly refused. gill stated that she knows daniel has a gf so even if its his b'day. she will nt kiss him.

when the director was interviewed, he said that when he initially approached both stars (daniel n gill) to star in this movie, when both parties heard that they were going to work w each other, they immediately agreed cause they knew each other quite well. when the director joked that daniel agreed to this role cause of his lust for pretty gillian, he denied that and said cause he trusts that the director will do a good job. the director also said that this is a very unique movie cause it doesnt have any scripts, the actors will just know what roles they will be playing and everyday he will tell them how to act out their different roles naturally.

the director also revealed that gill and daniel will share an intimate and exciting bed scene and when interviewed, gill refused to disclose any info and asked the reporters to wait and watch for themselves, though she also expressed that she was quite uncomfortable and akward while filming that scene.

Prince Daniel And Princess Gillian Breaks Love Codes!

"Ever since then, the prince and princess reunite and live happily ever after."
The above is usually golden quote at the end of a fairy tale, a princess and a prince have become a symbol of love and happiness. "Fairy tales have been perished, princess XXX and prince XXX are divorced." This statement is a usual on the headlines of newspapers nowadays, so modern prince Daniel and princess Gillian, don't believe in those fairy tales, like their new movie, "Revenge of the Princess", a split up couple, the male loves new girlfriend and forgets of old ones, the female thinks of plans to seek revenge, modern love relationships have turned to be very complicated, the two main casts just hope to find their mate who's serious when it comes to love and to hold their ticket of love and find the right seat.

When A Princess Runs Into A Prince

Remember last year when Gillian and Daniel were chosen as the dream man and dream girl, place values of them within the opposite sex value the same as princes and princesses? Actually before playing a couple in Revenge of the Princess, they have already met each other, during The Twins Effect 2.

January 29:
Opening Ceremony of The Twins Effect 2
Dream Man and Dream Girl officially co-star during the starting of the year at the opening ceremony of TTE2, but they haven't been in much contact yet.

February 27:

September 16:
Opening Ceremony of Revenge Of The Princess
Two months after TTE2 showed, Daniel and Gillian co-star again in Pang Ho Cheung's new movie, being the main casts and a couple.

D: Daniel G; Gillian

Princesses Only Fit Within A Fairy Tale

D: This movie is called "Revenge Of The Princess", do you believe there are love stories that are like the fairy tales about princes and princesses?

G: Actually when I was little, I would wish that fairy tales would happen to me, the one I like the most is Snow White, because I think the story's very touching, the most important thing is it has a happy ending! But as I grew up, I don't believe there are those kinds of love stories anymore, I've heard about friends getting married right after they've started dating, but they still divorced in the end, fairy tales are still fairy tales.

D: The worlds within fairy tales are the most beautiful, so the endings are always happy, because they're made for little kids, this time our movie's called "Revenge of the Princess", it already told us that on this world there really isn't love stories between princes and princesses, everyone is selfish, this is also what the movie really wants to tell us! Right now there's already very few love relationships that last until the end, at least I never came upon any.

Be Serious And Truthful Towards Love

G; Even though there aren't any fairy tales in the world, but I really hate those people who aren't truthful to love, I would never be on two boats at once, I'm glad that my friends and I have never occured to any of these things, if my friends are liket that, I would be mad, you still have to be serious and truthful towards love.

Hate People Who Play Around With Love

D: I'm a person who's serious towards love, so I won't be like my character in the movie, I won't even be friends with people like that, because love can hurt a person really badly, I'm glad this never happened to me, if not, I'll have to console that friend a lot! Haha!

Can't Be A Dream Lover

G; I'm very honoured that I can co-star with you again, you're the dream man! This time I'm also being a couple with you! I officially co-stared with you in TTE2, now I'm seeing you again after a few months, it feels like I'm seeing an old friend, our conversation made me realize how much we did in these months, we were in Wan Nam Ice Cave working for a few days, even though we're being a couple in the movie, but it's better off being friends in real life!

D; I haven't seen you for a bit and now that we're co-staring again, it feels like you've matured and not that much like a kid anymore, and clear on how to portray your characters, you improved very much! The funniest is the first few days we started working, we didn't know what the script was so we just walked back and forth not knowing what we're supposed to do. After Revenge Of The Princess, I'm being a couple with you again in Martial Arts Family, maybe they think we look good together! It's pretty happy when working with you!

Snow White Quiz!

The Queen gave birth to Snow White, who has skin as white as snow and lips as red as roses, but has died after. The King went to marry a different Queen, even though this queen is pretty but she's evil, this queen has a mirror that could tell the truth, everyday, the queen would ask the mirror, "Mirror Mirror On The Wall, Who's The Fairest Of Them All?"

1. If you had the mirror in the story that could tell the truth, what would you ask?

a. "Does he/she love me?"
b. "Am I really happy right now?"
c. "Is my decision correct?"
d. Won't ask anything

2. One day, the mirror suddenly tells the queen she isn't the prettiest, and Snow White is. The jealous queen wants to kill Snow White! If you were to use an animal to describe the queen's face, what would you use?

a. Cockroach
b. Snake
c. White Shark
d. Wolf

3. The dwarfs that saved Snow White live in the forest, where do you think they live?

a. a big tree
b. a cave
c. a mushroom house

Answers:
A1. You most want to rid of........
a. You're doubting your love relationship, feel very uncalm, the thing your heart mostly wants to get rid of are the ties from your lover and love! You suddenly feel that a life with two people, besides sweetness, it also makes people feel weird inside.

b. Feeling uncalm about the state you're in right now, most hopes to get rid of the calming state right now, go find some excitement new goals so you can proudly do some things and not like right now, these boring and bland days.

c. Your answer shows that you have no confidence in your decisions, you hope for the world to be perfect, no need to worry about consequences or thigns happening in the present, for example, you're picking if you want to retake grade 11 or go onto grade 12, but is also scared that next years you won't do good on exams, then thinks if working would be a better choice.

d. (Gillian and Daniel's answers)
A person who won't ask anything, isn't unhappy about any part of your life right now, even though you'll have complaints once in a while, but afterwards, you'll be alright, it won't be on your mind any longer. So, you don't have any tiebacks you want to get rid of, keeping the state you're in righ tnow is the best. (G: Right! I have nothing that I'm unhappy about right now!) (D: Half right! I'd want to move on with my career!)

A Wish That You're Hiding Away is.......

a. A snake is an animal that has an urge of fighting and self-defense, you usually might have something you're pressuring down, thinking you haven't expressed enough, that it's hard to do what you want, this pressure may be coming from your parents or your work, so your wish that you're hiding away is to be bad.

b. (Gillian's answer)
Snake represents a power of life, your wish is to change the present state you're in, to live a practical and fufilling life. But, on the other hand, you'll feel uncalm, lack of confidence, so you haven't accomplished your wish yet.

c. The white shark represents an urge for sex, from the bottom of your heart you want to show your attractions and change what you do infront of the opposite sex, want to feel even more sweet with the opposite sex, but because of lack of experience or bad/embarassing experiences, you don't dare to do it.

d. (Daniel's answer)
The wolf represents independence. Your wish is to perform the real you and not having to worry about others, do what you want to, just scream what you want out!

In your life, who can't you live without?

a. A big tree represents your soul mate, when you're unhappy or having a hard time, the person you want to share or counsel it with most is your mate, so, the person you can't live without is going to be your lover.

b. (Daniel's answer)
A cave represents what brought you to this world, which are your parents. When you're unhappy, have been picked on at school or work, you will tell it all to your parents, they are the people you think are most important and can't live without. (D: It's pretty much right, parents are really important to me.)

c. (Gillian's answer)
A Mushroom house represents your companions and friends, in your life, you think friends are the most important, your heart will calm down after counselling with them about your problems, how could you live without any friends? (G: It's also right! Friends are pretty important to me!)

Gillian and Daniel's Bed Scene Talk!

Gillian and Daniel are a couple in this movie, the director has said from the start that there'll be a bed scene, but this bed is not what you're thinking, the passionate stuff you're thinking about is not in there, Daniel and Gillian are just sitting on the bed exchanging presents, the guy fiddles with the girl's glasses, the biggest body contact was hands on shoulders.

This scene talks about before they broke up, Gillian picks a present to give to Daniel, Daniel wants to kiss her, but was rejected, this "bed scene" is kinda weak, isn't it?

First Picture: The starting of every relationship is happy, in the movie, Gillian gives her boyfriend a present to make him happy.

Second Picture: A guy and a girl being in one room, the girl must end up with some loss. Daniel goes to take off Gillian's glasses, then.....

Third Picture: when it comes to the most tense part, Gillian pulls away and rejects it, making Daniel get pissed, how come it's like this?

Fourth Picture: Actually the scene before, was Gillian telling Tao Hung how Daniel sweet talks and all the bad stuff about him! Making Tao Hung believe Gillian even more and decides to work with Gillian to go against Daniel!

actually, i read that this bed scene may or may not happen..as we know, Gill hasnt had a kissing scene ever because of public image reasons..that would be the same reason if this kissing scene is not in the movie.

how much older is Daniel from Gillian..i know Daniel is 30 already

this news is a little old..

Gillian Chung Yun Tung yesterday morning worked on GUNG JU FOOK SAU GEI (REVENGE OF THE PRINCESS) and ran on the streets of Causeway Bay. A track team member in school, Ah Gil ran six times on the 100 meter street without any sign of exhaustion.

Director Pang Ho Cheung for the best result first placed cameras on the back of a truck to shoot on the way. Although Ah Gil knew that she had to run, she did not warm up. Without any hesitation she took off, never having to catch her breath or reduce speed. She instead ran faster and faster. Curious onlookers saw Ah Gil's mad dash and thought there really was a thief. They screamed, "Are you chasing a thief?" Later Ah Gil shot another scene in long boots, a helmet and goggles.
In the film Ah Gil played Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho)'s former girlfriend. After a breakup he published their past nude photo. Ah Gil asked Ng Yin Cho's current girlfriend for help and snuck into his home to steal the photo back. Eric Kot Man Fai earlier designed the poster for the film. The first has a man in a firefighter costume with several dozen holes on his face. Japanese photographer Kabo took the picture. The concept is an unclear love triangle. Two women avenge themselves by destroying his face.

Two nights ago Gillian finished filming her scenes in the movie “Princess Revenge Diary” with Golden Flower, best actress Tao Hong. Gillian articulated that in the movie she was to compete with Tao Hong for Daniel Wu. Despite the on screen dramas Gillian and Tao Hong are good friends as they both like to go out to eat, with each other.

In the movie Tao Hong had an intimate scene with Daniel Wu. Tao Hong expressed that this is the first time where she has to act outside of her expectations. She said that she is willing to try out all characters given to her, even if it is a challenging role.
In the end, she said that the result was good and that her co-operation with Daniel was very comfortable.

Trailer

it was out in theaters last week, don't know when it will be released in dvd though

i already watch this movie ... pretty good one .. Gill's acting skills improved alot ... glad to see that

i'm waiting for the vcd.. think this should be one nice movie..

is this movie any good? it stars gillian chung and daniel wu..i heard gillian's performance was a break through

This show is like.. um Danial and Gillian are ex-stead. Then, Gillian is a teacher. One particular day, people found her nude pictures (with Daniel, but his face is censor away) on nets, in the end, she was fired.. In the story, she is like.. going round looking for Daniel, asking him back for those pictures it was then she met his gf, i think? Acted by Emme Wong.. then I don't know liao..-.-"

this movie seems new to me
so.......when its going to launch in cinema ?
cause never see this poster b4

i saw this movie, and i only understand alittle bit because it in mando... and ah gill was good and the crying scenes....really....sad...

also gill is very mature and pretty looking in there! ^-^

It's out in cinema on Nov 11..

Though I understand mando.. but I'm not going to dl it and watch..-.-" I want to watch the canto version Beyond Our Ken.. argh! Still gonna wait awhile for the vcd to be out..

Daniel is 30 this yr & Gill is 23 this yr...7 yrs apart!

is this the movie that Gil loses her first kiss?

ya... does Gillian lose her first on screen kiss in this movie? because i heard that she was suppose to...

someone watches it already and told me she didn't..

wow she didnt lose her first on-screen kiss in der?yay!den derz stil a chance for EG to kiss!lol im like a big fan ob EG but danielz hot too...a lil too old tho

she didnt! there's no bed scene or kissing scene, once again, it's just rumours for promotion! i think the movie's quite boring, i watched it because gillian's starring in it! but of course daniel too, totally loved both of them! but the movie's plot quite good, the twist at the ending's quite unexpected! plus gill's acting really improved inside!

i havent seen the movie yet but i can expect its very good just because of daniel wu... he's a good actor... he can play as bad or good guy in the movie.. he still does it well...cant wait to see it

i've seen this movie. its really interesting, and no Gillian doesn't have an onscreen kiss. the movie is definately better than some of the crap i've seen HK release in 2004/early 2005.

I thought the movie would of been sh*t, but it turned out quite good.

Hhmmm, read the whole damn thing, and it might be a interesting movie, looking forward to see it!

summary from yesasia:



i enjoyed watching this. it's one of those movies that depends on the gender of the viewer. if you're a male, you kind of sympathize with daniel wu whereas if you're a female, you'll sympathize with gillian and tao hong. i wonder when's the next time daniel wu will play the good guy instead haha... also, the ending is acceptable, but the director could have done so much more with it. in comparing this to charlene's role in leave me alone, i think gillian's the better actress!

if you look on the next page, or use the search box, you'll find there is already a thread for Beyond Our Ken.

They both need alot of improvement, its hard to say which one is better.

this movie was alright..i got bored it some parts but daniel and gil was lookin hot

well..seems to me that everyone is saying the movie is not that good... so i guess i'll just have to skip that movie then.. some said that gillian had a lot of acting improvements .. glad to hear that..she wasn't that good before compared to her co-singer charlene which is way more better.. my opinion!.. ehhe

this movie was okay, it wasn't that great though

gillian got nominated for best actress for her role in this movie and while i must say her acting has improved somewhat, i didn't think it was so great that she deserved a nomination

still, i don't understand why gillian didn't like ken, it was her fault for the breakup in the first place or maybe i'm just missing the point, same with the other girl, why did she agree to go along with the charade when she knew what was going on all along?

i've juz seen it, i don't get the point either, it's so confused!!!

actually, there isnt really an intimate scene.... but a great serie overall because gill is in it..ehheh

this movie is not that good. was kinda confusing but got it after



not that of a good movie
actors can't really at that good

scary movie? what... are u sure u r on the right thread... or r u tryin to critisize or or u serious... because buddy dis aint no horror movie

overall i would say dis movie was ok... nutin so great and i didn't think that dis role should get gillian the nomination for best actress as much as i love her... i mean there's no really a breakthrough here... but a great movie to look at if u want sum eye candy the plot... i understood... i duno y sum ppl say it's confusing... o.0 dey made it kinda obvious... xcept the ending the left u hanging... tho u cant really xpect dat much from a movie wif the script written within one week o.0 its as good as it gets...

this movie wasn't all that great, dissappointed.. but then gillian is in it but after the whole twist at the end it just got really confusing and it seemed like the story just lost its plot line, and its weirdd becuase did they continue to stay friends??? butt the acting was pretty good but I don't know if anyone caught this but through out the whole movie the camera kept moving like somone couldn't hold the camera still or they didn;t have a stand for the camera or soemthing =/

the reason the film was "confusing" is because its one of those movies that make u think
Who was the REAL villain?
was it gillian for trying to break up daniel and tao hung
was it tao hung for breaking up gillian and daniel
or was it all daniel's fault for cheating on gillian?
it shows that in any situation, there is no one that deserves 100% blame
everyone had a part in the outcome

Wow.. confusing like hell. How come in the end daniel gets screwed over..;; And why would gillian post herself nude on the internet and blame it on daniel.. I DON'T GET IT... she got herself fired rofl!!!!!

Anyways..

Probably could've been a pretty good movie if it wasn't so confusing. I enjoyed it.. even though I was like WTF?!

Oh.. and the ending was like WTF?! too.

it was part of her plan to make daniel look like an asshole
one of those "if i can have him, no one can situations"
if everyone believes daniel is an ass and posts his ex-girlfriends up on the internet, they won't want to date him
in the movie, she said "why should i always be the one to be unhappy?"
so she is trying to turn it around on daniel

just watched this movie a few days ago... and at first it was good...the plan gillian had was great..although i think tao hung went along with the plan too easily.

i liked how the story went on the whole... but i think the twist at the end they should've dragged it out a bit, because i think it was a bit sudden. it also makes gillian seem like the evil one.. but it was all tao's doing. *shakes fist*

i'd recommend this film to anyone reli XD

This one is a very interesting plot. But I am amaze at the end of the movie anyway I love the actors and actress in this movie. Compare to other movie I have seen so far.
