Nope she only stars in tvb series.

As far as I know she has also featured in at least one comedian movie called "Tong Pak Fu dim
Chou Heung"(The Flirting Scholar) starring Stephen Chow, Gong Li,
Cheng Pei Pei+Leung Kar Yan. Anyone knows this movie?

Yes I remember now,but she didn't have much screentime it was more a cameo. and she wasn't really famous yet.

[BORNINHK]

Woott WOoott I've seen jess today she was cute she s really pretty, shot alot pictures hope my uploads works lah '
it was very warm today in holland -__-
and she was very funny

she sang 2 songs, and her singing skills are not bad!!!!

I believe she sang more than 2 songs. There were way too many people standing in the lines waiting to get their autographed pictures!! The session was not long.
So this means a lot of disappointing people.

anyways, i loved her in that movie because she was sooo cute!!

Jessica is really pretty and cute.. she is very good in acting various type of character, may they be modern and ancient type. She really talented in acting.. does anyone know how tall and her weight?? i wonder...

[caitsai]

I can't control myself to share my happiness with you all again. I'm very hapy to see her.
She sings very well... especially the english song. It's normal because she studied in London before. I really want to see her again but I think It's impossible because I don't really think that she will come again.

Jessica is my all time favorite actress in tvb. I heard that she's really snobby in real person though. I loved all her shows. What else can i say? she's pretty and she didn't go through ms hk to be in tvb.

[northen_dragon]

does anyone know is Jessica filming anything after LOAW, looks like she's not doing much series.

[FantasyMania]

I think she is going to be in TITS2, I'm looking forward to that.

Not sure where you heard that she's snobby, I have met and talked to her a few times, she's really easy going and friendly, no airs at all. And she's one of the few artistes who make time to meet up with her fans and leave messages for them in the forum.

[browniebelle]

Sorrie can someone tell me where is the friendship corner. I am relatively new here and super blur. Oh yar.. it is confirmed that jessica is acting in truimph in the skies II. She said it herself during a magazine interview. U can read it from the bravenet forum.

i agree....she's soo friendly and keeps smiling....i used to think she's a snobby person..but after seeing her in person....thats a totally wrong concept....and i really like the fact that she tries to take time off to meet up with her fans...

[gilian]

Jessica is a superb actress, her shows are really nice! And it's glad to hear that she's friendly in person, I saw her messages to all her fans and she always takes time to write to them, how sweet!

Roger and Jess Celebrate Top Status

Golden partners Roger Kwok and Jessica Hsuan have been filed as the top male and female artistes on TVB's books in their recent catalogue document and as they both returned from some promotional work in Singapore, they were very pleased to learn the news. Roger smiled: "If you say so, then so be it! Ranking isn't important though, the most important thing is that people watch you and accept you." Jessica agreed, saying: "It is the company's respect for you, just leave it down to destiny."

With their status confirmed, will they be asking for pay rises? Roger laughs: "It's okay, the company know what to do! They have given me so many opportunities giving me quite a decent market home and abroad, so I am very grateful to them." They both hope that the new series "New Adventures of Ah Wong" will build on the success of "Square Pegs" and find high ratings.

[mystical]

yea...both of them really deserve it...they are both very good actor and actress and they work really hard for it

[browniebelle]

The show was really funny. Everybody should watch it. For those who dont have, i can send it to u all if ur dont mind.

The Sun

This years TVB Anniversary series, "The Charm Beneath", "Legend of Ah Wong", and "Mr Chan of Fushan" each has its own good characteristics in it, and having full
confidence on the series!

But the original plans were to end "Revolving Door of Vengeance" and broadcast "Mr Chan of Fushan" on Sept. 26. But because they had to film some of Yuen Biao's part again, they had to go back to Canada, so postponing the broadcasting date.

The male lead, Roger Kwok, was very happy and excited about "Legend of Ah Wong". When Roger and Jessica was recording the series themesong, the department assistant was there to support them, helping Roger act out the true colors of Ah Wong, casuing him to be very pleased, and believes that the series will not disappoint the audience! (I hope so (= )

Jessica is Latest Face of Estee Lauder

Jessica Hsuan has been invited by international cosmetics brand to shoot their latest set of ads in a breakthrough move. In the past, the company has usually used foreign models for their campaigns, including Elizabeth Hurley and Oscar Winner Gwyneth Paltrow, so in a move to showing a local celebrity, this has been an honour for Jessica. The sponsors provided her with over ten designer gowns in the hope of showing off Jessica's elegant and healthy immage. Jessica herself has done plenty of preparation, looking at the international models for inspiration on poses to show off her most alluring side.
