TVB Fa Dan's have been entering the movie industry. Since Kate Tsui had become the new movie star favourite, Bernice Liu had also been selected to play a role in a Hollywood movie. She will also be working with Maggie Q and playing female fighters. She will be the first TVB Fa Dan to break into Hollywood.

Working in Hollywood is still an actors's dream, during the past many chinese actors have had successful career in Hollywood such as Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk etc. This year Isabella Leong and Gillian Chung have experienced working in Hollywood. Recently TVB have arranged Bernice to break into Hollywood by accepting the movie (The King of Fighters).

Bernice who has always hoped to play a female fighter role, will play this role in the new movie with Maggie Q. Sources say that Chris Evans who starred in (Fantastic Four) will also appear in the movie. The filming started yesterday and was delayed for 2 months. This made Bernice's work schedule quite awkward but she didn't want to lose this opportunity and declined commercial work. Despite being a hot favourite to receive alot of work offers for the golden period of Christmas and the New year, she declined the work and earnings. It's predicted that she had lost out on 7 digits and you can see how determined she is to play the role in the new movie.

TVB Executive Virginia Lok is very supportive of Bernice entering Hollywood. She smiled "We have been discussing about this movie for half a year, When Bernice knew it was a fighting role she worked very hard to learn martial arts from the stunt men. She also flew to the location earlier before the rest of the cast in order to get used to the atmosphere. A few days ago she sent us a update and praised the crew for being very professional. She never mentioned one word of it being hard work". (Are the earnings good?) "Reasonable, lets just say this is an opportunity, the earnings isn't a problem, Our company are very supportive".

Whaaa I am so happy for her....Congrats to Bernice for being the first TVB fadan to break into Hollywood. First I thought that TVB has frozen her, cause I did not hear alot from her lately.
So I hope that she is gonna make it big over there.

[contamination]

[_Snowie_]

[Jayyy]

[♥ rainlynn]

Yay for Bernice! I'm glad she's breaking into hollywood. She's is one of my few favorite TVB actresses, and I hope success will come to her!

[Aznbadboi]

That is great news for Bernice and this would be a good opportunity for her in hollywood.

[sweety_g]

i'm surprised. But she is indeed very good. Her bright personality is so attractive

[yuzuyu]

YES! i cant wait!! omgosh bernice fits hollywood well, she can speak english unlike the others

[Advo]

It doesn't matter that she'll lose money right now. Being in a Hollywood movie will give her much more exposure and commercial success that she'll recuperate the monetary loss. Perhaps, that's also why she hasn't been in that many TVB series lately?

Bernice in hollywood...in fighting role..cant really imagine she would be fighting...usually she would be acting as a soft kind of female lead actress role...but cant wait 2 c it...

[boloney86]

Yeah! forBernice. She grew up in the states, so her English should be fine. I hope she does get a decent screen time. Good Luck to her

[gemgrl81]

Yeah! forBernice. She grew up in the states, so her English should be fine. I hope she does get a decent screen time. Good Luck to her

Actually, Bernice was born and raised in Canada, not the States. Also, she speaks English very fluently because it is the primary language spoken in her hometown.

This is a great opportunity for Bernice. I also hope that she gets a decent amount of screen time. Totally looking forward to this movie.

[reeniegal]

between bernice & maggie Q.....bernice's gorgeous body & curve will make her more noticeable

[Jojomoska]

Congrats to her! It is very good news. Does anybody know the movie title?

[Nominated]

After seeing her in Steps, I'vent noticed her appearance in much else, but I heard that she had a really busy schedule a while back. My favorite series of hers is actually Into Thin Air ... where she also sang the theme song which was amazing.

Congrats to Bernice into making it into Hollywood! Looks like a lot of Asians are making their way into the American industries now ...

[BaBiAdOrKaBLe]

OMG YAY! i hope she'll get a decent role and make it big into hollywood! i think she's better than most of the chinese actresses that have filmed in hollywood movies. The fact that she has fluent English is a plus.

[xxMiya]

This is great news! ^^ Bernice hasn't been in a lot of series lately so I'm really glad she's getting an opportunity in Hollywood. And she's the first TVB Fa Dan in Hollywood too!! <3 Good luck to her!
