Those 2 picz of gill and steven look so cute, even though gill's age are older than steven but i think her face looks younger than him . If possible i think they will make a cute couple but i think gill almost match with anyone that she work with bcause she is so pretty and cute, the guys just cant resist her beauty LOL

Another Twins movie...something I dread...Dunno if I should watch it or not. I would want to watch for Gillian yet it's just gets me so upset with how they called it a 'Twins' film yet it's like mostly focused on Charlene...So it leads me to think, what's the point of watching it when Gillian is absence for like 3/5 of the movie which by the way has her name in the starring list as a lead rolleyes.gif but then again Gillian's still in it..so frustrating..such a rip off to Gillian's fan. To me watching a Twins film only benefits Charlene in the end and does nothing for Gillian.

Yeah, age is really merciful towards Gillian. She's 25, but she still looks so young! blush.gif Not saying that Gillian's old or anything because 25's definitely not an old age, but she just doesn't look her age. She was asked for I.D. once when she entered a casino. laugh.gif In "49 Days", Steven's character is actually Gillian's character's older cousin (Biu Gor) as well!

It's not just the Twins movies; it was the same for most of Gillian's earlier movies as well. I personally wasn't too fond of watching her earlier movies since we would see her name as the lead and promotions/advertisements were all based on Gillian Chung's name, but we see her in less than a quarter of the whole film. blink.gif I still watched them though, as a sense of support, though the plots weren't too amazing either. Twins movies are more angering than solo films of Gillian since they do type TWINS on the starring list. But in the those Twins movies, maybe even all of them besides TTE II, we might as well type up Starring: Charlene Choi, Special Apperance: Gillian Chung. TTE II was basically the only film of Twins where things were even close to being equal. Let's hope it can somehow go that way too. Or I wouldn't mind if Gillian did have a smaller part, but she had an interesting character or a role where she can shine in.

Well, the scheduled movie for Twins was really scheduled for Twins from the beginning because the producer has a favour towards both Twins. She is the producer of "49 Days" and believe or not, "The Death Curse". Man, "49 Days" got so much recognition, but wasn't "The Death Curse" kinda referred to as being kinda dumb and cheesy? unsure.gif Anyway, the producer expressed that she tried out using Charlene as main in "The Death Curse", and then landed a leading role on Gillian for "49 Days", so she would like to use them both as the leads for her next film. I didn't really get that part since Gillian was in both films, but I suppose she means that since Gillian was a supporting character in The Death Curse, she would like her to have an equal leading part with Charlene in the upcoming movie?

I agree that somehow some cards will be played by EEG towards the producing company, so things balancing between Gillian and Charlene will be messed around with somehow. They could start off with a fairly equal part, but somehow gear it all towards Charlene. Or even worse yet, the script could've written Gillian's character as leading over a bit more, but still gear it towards Charlene. It's either one way or another; I'm pretty sure of it.

銀河公主 is different though because it's practically postponed to who-knows-when. We don't even know if it will be filmed yet. At least the film with "49 Days"'s producer is still confirmed at the moment.

The Death Curse could have been better with less nonsense revolving how stubborn and sassy Sa's character was and more development on the other characters such as Gillian. Gillian's character was quite interesting because she would experience psychotic like episodes from her illness. Hm, I don't quite remember the details whether Gillian's emotional rollarcoaster was solely due to her illness or those distorted injections from the villan of how he would shoot them with needle like substances. blink.gif Oh well. But don't know why HK loves those extremely sassy roles. I find them to be so cruel and selfish. But if the same producer already placed Sa as the lead in the Death Curse under the label Twins, I'm not so sure if Gillian will for the first time have an equal or bigger role than Sa in this upcoming production; it just seems so impossible judging from the past history of events.

I could see if they really wanted Gillian at the singing end of the two possible routes as Joey is as a full-time singer in the future; therefore, they are reducing her film producing rates (though it's like from little -> none dry.gif ) for her to develop more on singing. Even then, it still doesn't make it acceptable. It's just that if that was the reason, then it'd at least be reasonable. Now it merely just seems like Gillian always has to step aside for Charlene to go first in everything. Gillian has no movies left in storage. Her last one filmed was "49 Days". down.gif Does it seem like EEG artists, besides Twins, are only able to take one end of their career? Joey = singing, Nic = acting, Kenny = singing, Steven = acting, Don/Mandy = singing? It's only Twins who are able to keep up with both, except now it seems like it's slowly turning around to the fact of, Gillian = singing, Charlene = singing/acting, and Isabella = singing/acting. blink.gif

But as long as Twins aren't separated yet, EEG shouldn't pull Gillian out of the film industry. Seriously, EEG is bullying Gillian too much. Well, I guess in a way...other EEG artists other else than Twins can't manage both industries because they shot themselves in the foot. Nic used to carry out film roles and music breakthroughs successfully but ever since his fake bad boy rebel image flopped in 2003, his music lost that original passion and now his songs are mostly composed for commerical purposes that don't interest people in the first place. It's funny, how Daniel Wu began his acting career as a villan to Nic and others and now he's the main lead in the majority of films with HK's leading ladies. That just shows how the two young Princes of HK like Nic and Edison have hit the ground so hard recently. Kenny is great at acting but because EEG never promoted him to be the main guy lead in the beginning, just small cameos in and out of films except for 6AM but that's considered an EEG production which is such a horrible start for Kenny as a lead, Kenny isn't associated with acting period. Perhaps Kenny lacks that bad boy image too which is something crucial in acting I suppose? blink.gif EEG obviously believes Steven isn't capable of a serious singing career that's why they degraded him in the reformed Boy'z group. In acting, not much either but hopefully things do get better for him since 49 Days was successful. Don and Mandy...hm, not much. Interesting collaboration but both have been in the industry for a while now and still haven't achieved much and most likely will continue to fade with some surprising projects here and there. Joey is the only solo artist currently that has enough influence in awards and prestigious recognition in the music industry so that's why she's not splitting her career to attending music and films. Isabella? I say, EEG should promote her in acting and halt on the singing for a while. Isabella could likely become the next Cecilia since she's still so young, people haven't biasly judged her yet because she hasn't produced that many films, and there is something similar to Cecilia Isabella possess; perhaps, those daring and wild qualities both share. Once Isabella sweeps the audience with her acting, EEG can reintroduce her in the music industry which would all be to her benefit.

Gillian never seems to age. She still looks like when she first entered the industry but with more distinct features now.

Well, some people in HK aren't as logical so even if Gillian had an interesting outstanding small character versus Sa's main lead role, people would still conclude that Gillian wasn't as convincing or talented that's why "directors" chose Sa as the lead. I hate that claim. So since its the HK audience Gillian needs to shine in, HK film rules are what she has to abide by and work her way around. HK people would acknowledge Gillian more as a lead even if the film wasn't as successful in comparison to her minor but interesting roles because in those guest star appearances movies, there are also other bigger more popular or talented stars so Gillian has less chance to shine versus her solo films.

GILLIAN SUPPORTER!!

You serious? If "49 Days" have a sequel Charlene is going to be in it? Then what the damn point of a solo movie? Damn! EEG is SUPER gay! And let me say that again. SUPER GAY! I mean if Char had her solo moive and it was a bit hit and had a sequel do you think EEG would tell the producer to put Gillian in it? No! Man.. I feel like punching the sh*t out of EEG! Why are they so unfair? Man! What does Charlene ability have and Gillian don't? Someone please tell me!

No love, Twins are starring in a movie together with the same director as 49 Days. 49 Days may have a sequel but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
gReenBuTTerfly
gosh, all this crap for nothing......
we should all just kill EEG for their lack of dumbness and stupidity.......
I've never seen any music entertainment with such bad profile or should i put in something different.....
what the heck is going on in their tiny little brain of theirs......oh wait, that's right they don't have any brain because if they did then they would notice just how great Gillian has come along way........
what's the point of having TWins if they're aren't getting the same promotions....stupid...
this is really ridiculous!!!!!!!!

If Charlene is going to be n 49 Days sequel then I wish that they don't confirm it

nvm.. just found out that its a different movie

The parts that I liked from The Death Curse were the parts that actually focused on all the siblings and the actual plot. The beginning was pretty idle of how Nancy (Charlene) just spent her time yelling at Keith(Laurence) about a cellphone(?) and complaining about all the things around her. They should've elaborated a bit more on why Nancy looked so disgusted when she saw Jerry(Kenny) and Linda(Gillian) together at the beginning as well. Anyway, the movie started getting a bit more interesting when Nancy finally arrived at the house and the rest of the siblings were introduced. The moments that made the viewer ponder about why this is happening were pretty much created by Linda of when she would somehow approach the father's corpse and see things that others couldn't. I didn't quite get whether it was her illness or the substance from Samuel(Alex) either. I think it should be the substance because Linda has claimed all along to Jerry that she's been healed already; it's just that he didn't believe her, but it was pretty cool of when they started speaking Thai to each other. laugh.gif Maybe Linda just has a really good endurance with her body from the substance, considering that everyone else who was shot died from it, excluding Deon and Ben(Steven) because they were given the antidote by that housekeeper guy. loool.gif I thought it was pretty stupid that Nancy still had to hang a grudge on Jerry about their past 'romance' even though they are half siblings; it was good that she let it go at the end, but all movies have to tie up loose ends in the end. The twist with how the lawyer was really Samuel was a good twist, and it was really good when all the siblings worked together to save Linda from falling off the building; that's where I felt all the ties between them come in.

Maybe this producer had a bit of a wake up call after the success of "49 Days" which clearly proves that Gillian can bring equal or most likely more recognition and better results to the film as Charlene can and just reconsider of how things should be under the label of "Twins". It's not like we want everything to be totally geared towards Gillian (though it's not that overbearing if we do, since everything had been geared towards Charlene for the past years), but it's highly reasonable that we want something equal between Twins for once and wouldn't mind even if we have a few random times where things can be geared towards Gillian.

Your theory makes sense towards people who have logical minds, but apparently EEG isn't one of them. down.gif Twins have been Twins all along, but it hasn't stopped EEG from clawing on Gillian with their little deleterious ways. You're right about the other EEG artists; Joey's the only one who has her own good reasons of why she's not splitting her career. The others either don't have enough strength to stand on both ends, or ruined it for themselves. I think Steven is acting more now because besides "49 Days", he has other movies that aren't out yet as well. I believe one of them is with Theresa. It'd be interesting watching that considering there were rumours of Theresa courting Steven back then. lmao.gif Well, Alex is going towards acting as well, and he doesn't exactly have a bad boy image, except from his rumours with Gillian, so maybe Kenny could give another shot at acting after he's stable with his singing. Singers always have the advantage in box office results because their fans from their singing would definitely be going into the theatre to check out how they appear in a movie. Isabella had been labelled as the next Cecilia Cheung when she first came out. Maybe she could make it. There's no way that EEG would be giving on her considering everything that they put into her, all the training for the whole three years before she came into the circle. Though I'm still not that fond of Gillian filming a series, I think it could be a good chance for her to spread her name in Mainland/Taiwan, if her character stands out enough. I hope that Gillian was able to go with her wishes and get more picky with the scripts she receives. If she was, then we could guarantee that it would be a good role. If not, let's curse EEG for making Gillian do another rubbish role that damages her name. twisted.gif Doing a series might not be that bad, for even Joey has done more series than she has movies, right? unsure.gif

In most cases, that does happen, but not all. There are random moments of when a supporting character completely pulls over the leading character, but somehow I agree that it probably won't happen upon Gillian's luck. Even some Gillian fans themselves believe that Charlene is more acclaimed between the two because of all the appearance-wise things, never mind the audience who aren't fans of Twins. I wonder if there ever will be a film that Gillian will have a leading role over Charlene? unsure.gif

It's always been obvious that Gillian's more well-liked and popular. If you listen to any one of the Twins concerts, you will hear clearly that it is always and only Gillian whom the fans sing along with. It can be clearly heard when they were singing Kindergarten for the 2006 concert. During the 2004 concert, it was very clear of the sing alongs when Gillian was performing My Father, Mother. A song of which was never plugged or promoted, but many people were singing along with it. No voices could be heard singing along with Charlene when she sang "Next Stop Diva Queen", a song which is very well known by HK citizens. I was like, "Huh?" when Charlene tells the audience to sing with her, and how people from previous nights sang along with her. Then I found out that she always says the same thing. She said the exact same speech of how people sing along with her when she went to Australia as well. Gillian never requested for the audience to sing with her, but they already did anyways. It was quite funny during the magic trick of the 2004 concert when Gillian was supposed to bring Charlene back into the show, but she kept being interrupted by the fans. She asked if they wanted to know where Charlene is after the magician asked, the crowd cheered. Then she asked if they have any idea of where Charlene is, a fan waved at her and she said, "Here?" and it turned out that the fan just wanted to give her flowers! loool.gif She kinda had to bring herself through to bringing Charlene back because she asked another time, and there weren't obvious replies. She went, "Why's there no sound? You guys don't want her back? Don't want to see Ah Sa? (pause)...... Okay, I'll bring her back." Then she brought Charlene back. It was so sweet near the end of when Gillian and Charlene were talking about each other; Gillian started tearing as she saw Charlene cry, and there were fans screaming very loudly and clearly, "Ah Giu! Don't cry!!" blush.gif

Well, House Of Fury doesn't really count because Charlene's character, Ella, was just there as a guest star apperance and not as an actual character as Gillian's character, Natalie, was. Ella was pretty much just there to create a love interest for Nicky in the end. I haven't seen Just One Look, so it's a pretty big surprise there if Gillian was the more important character. laugh.gif

It was intriguing watching Gillian portray a fragile, mysterious, psychotic yet sweet girl. I thought Kenny's character, Jerry, was a bit too rough on his ill sister; it seemed as though he was agitated towards her whenever she had a chance to socialize. I did find it convincingly creepy when Gillian kept eyeballing Sa everywhere. Linda was so fascinated with Nancy, it was getting a bit too weird like an obsession. I applaud Gillian for that great portrayal because it gave me chills. Wah! I really enjoyed Gillian's Linda. This movie was partially a horror flick mainly due to Gillian's icy Linda and her weird sensations, scary chats with the dead, and she didn't seemed afraid at all residing in a haunted house and doing weird rituals in order to receive their share of the bank but she seemed as though she enjoyed the suspense. The twist in the end was good but still, it didn't redeem the film from its boring storyline earlier except for some scenes.

I'm not against the whole idea of Twins together in a movie but if the main character or more screentime falls repeatedly upon Sa then that is quite upsetting. The reason why "Twins" films get criticized even before shooting is because the majority of the screentime is consumed by Sa's bubbly sassy character which already makes the different film not any different. But if Twins starred together, Sa would always have to carry out a bubbly character because if Sa switched to the cold quiet one then which character is Gillian going to portray?? Surely not the bubbly one because Gillian has been labelled as the mature serious one already so even if her sassy portrayal was decently successful, bad reviews would still result because the same two characters are still present but just a simple switch. But if Gillian had the bigger lead role and onscreen time in a Twins film for the very first time, the whole story would change which is something new the audience has never seen before making it more interesting than the usual Twins films.

EEG is too wealthy to be too cautious about which is more important: an artist who makes more profits like Gillian in both singing and acting industries or someone who they favor but hasn't been as successful like Sa. They just automatically choose to invest in promotions towards Sa because a loss in Gillian will not certainly dent their wallets. They probably confidently believe that since they were the ones who built Twins up in this competitive industry, there are more chances of building new artists that will follow Twins footsteps so Gillian is important but can always be replaced with more promotions and approval from authorities well more like offering bribes to achieve their goals in the industries.

Hm, I personally think that this new Twins film is already a rubbish role for Gillian. Her serial? Hm, there is still a possibility that it might be a good hit in China like Amazing Twins with Nic and Dicky. Even though the story stunk but the graphics and clothes were overall pretty well produced. It was actually this serial that sort of regained Nic's damaged boo image so that's why Nic has decided to film more serials.

Steven does seem to be heading towards acting. He is pretty decent. Kenny? Well, Alex has only been doing well in films or this current film (isn't this his first lead?) because of his scandals with Stephy. His management actually knows when to take the advantage of rumors and pair them up together knowing that the audience would love to see their love blossom onscreen. If EEG wasn't so concentrated in the Twins together theme earlier, EG would have been a huge success considering their wide acceptance on magazines already scoring themselves as the "Golden Couple" and if their love was portrayed onscreen in a romantic comedy on their own not just guest starring like My Spy Dad or minor characters to the mafia plot in Moving Targets, EG would had made it big together supporting and promoting each other in both industries with their duets and film together.

Joey's serials? To be honest, I've never seen one. I only hear about her roles in serials and they sort of equate to her roles in films but rarely do I ever find her serials. So I guess, Joey isn't as accepted in acting like in singing.

It's always been obvious that Gillian's more well-liked and popular. If you listen to any one of the Twins concerts, you will hear clearly that it is always and only Gillian whom the fans sing along with. It can be clearly heard when they were singing Kindergarten for the 2006 concert. During the 2004 concert, it was very clear of the sing alongs when Gillian was performing My Father, Mother. A song of which was never plugged or promoted, but many people were singing along with it. No voices could be heard singing along with Charlene when she sang "Next Stop Diva Queen", a song which is very well known by HK citizens. I was like, "Huh?" when Charlene tells the audience to sing with her, and how people from previous nights sang along with her. Then I found out that she always says the same thing. She said the exact same speech of how people sing along with her when she went to Australia as well. Gillian never requested for the audience to sing with her, but they already did anyways. It was quite funny during the magic trick of the 2004 concert when Gillian was supposed to bring Charlene back into the show, but she kept being interrupted by the fans. She asked if they wanted to know where Charlene is after the magician asked, the crowd cheered. Then she asked if they have any idea of where Charlene is, a fan waved at her and she said, "Here?" and it turned out that the fan just wanted to give her flowers! loool.gif She kinda had to bring herself through to bringing Charlene back because she asked another time, and there weren't obvious replies. She went, "Why's there no sound? You guys don't want her back? Don't want to see Ah Sa? (pause)...... Okay, I'll bring her back." Then she brought Charlene back. It was so sweet near the end of when Gillian and Charlene were talking about each other; Gillian started tearing as she saw Charlene cry, and there were fans screaming very loudly and clearly, "Ah Giu! Don't cry!!" blush.gif

Haha. Yeah, I noticed that too. It was so emotional when Gillian sang My Father, Mother and the whole entire audience was singing along beautifully with her when she didn't even request and ironically, the song wasn't even as promoted or well known as "Next Stop Diva Queen." Well, perhaps Gillian conveys more emotions when singing so the audience sensed the passion and sang along unconsciously? happy.gif'

The magic trick? Hm, I haven't purchased any Twins concerts at all. I've only been watching clips online but that sounds interesting. Haha. harhar.gif Fans' silence indicated that "No, Ah Giu...you are enough to entertain us and well worth our tickets." laugh.gif Aw, fans are so caring towards Gillian. Just from recent performances, you could totally hear fans scream for Gillian more than Sa. Gillian has never lost her support I guess but just in certain issues, Gillian fans aren't as united.

Yeah, but her character was crap! lmao.gif

Does it really matter though? How many times has Charlene been the main actress over Gillian?

It doesn't matter because I'm not here to discourage a Twins film but something different would be good. You know as well as all of us here that sometimes in the HK industry, fans tend to believe that whoever has the bigger role or more onscreen time is better and possess more potential and that isn't the case of truth at all. So to break those bias judgments, it's best if Gillian and Sa star separately in their solo films. Gillian gains more recognition that way and so does Sa.

I'm not against the whole idea of Twins together in a movie but if the main character or more screentime falls repeatedly upon Sa then that is quite upsetting. The reason why "Twins" films get criticized even before shooting is because the majority of the screentime is consumed by Sa's bubbly sassy character which already makes the different film not any different. But if Twins starred together, Sa would always have to carry out a bubbly character because if Sa switched to the cold quiet one then which character is Gillian going to portray?? Surely not the bubbly one because Gillian has been labelled as the mature serious one already so even if her sassy portrayal was decently successful, bad reviews would still result because the same two characters are still present but just a simple switch. But if Gillian had the bigger lead role and onscreen time in a Twins film for the very first time, the whole story would change which is something new the audience has never seen before making it more interesting than the usual Twins films.

From what you've said, it does seem very true that it's better if Twins actually stay away from each other when acting. Because of Charlene's usual role of being funny, the genre of Twins movies are usually comedy, sometimes even the word ridiculous can be just upon it regarding the plot. Because of the usual 'cute' characters of Charlene's, Twins movies never revolve around anything serious with a good storyline. It's just like how we can never see something like 'Beyond Our Ken' happening with Twins being included. Charlene has done movies that revolve around sex, but it's just like a little girl being interested in the 'grown up' world like how it was in 'Good Times Bed Times'. It's never anything quite into depth as BOK was.

Somehow I don't think that Charlene and Gillian could've shared as good of a chemistry as Gillian and Tao Hung did in BOK, if BOK had been a Twins movie. The chemistry between Gillian and Tao Hung was quite unexplainable. We didn't know whether they could be friends or rivals or even lovers from that motorcycle scene, and they both add a sense of a mysterious effect to the plot. Language wasn't a barrier either towards the chemistry, though Tao Hung spoke mandarin most of the time and Gillian spoke cantonese. Gillian and Charlene's chemistry, possibly from the effect of Twins, simply give a feeling of the carefree best friends who just joke around with each other all the time. It doesn't feel like anything really serious could happen for them to solve together. It's starting to get really boring of how in a Twins movie, Gillian and Charlene always start off as strangers or even enemies and immediately turn into best friends in the matter of ten minutes. The plot of a film really is effected by the main character. Since the main character of all Twins movies had been Charlene, then the plot just had to go along with this sassy character of hers. That's mostly why Twins movies are so similar from one to another. Most of Charlene's characters only serve one purpose, which is to make the viewer have the urge to laugh or crack a giggle. If Gillian could for once take on a role of which the plot revolves around, maybe we could get a good serious plot. There must be some changes done with Twins movies because they're getting really repetitive, even though we, as fans, would still watch them for our idol. down.gif

EEG is too wealthy to be too cautious about which is more important: an artist who makes more profits like Gillian in both singing and acting industries or someone who they favor but hasn't been as successful like Sa. They just automatically choose to invest in promotions towards Sa because a loss in Gillian will not certainly dent their wallets. They probably confidently believe that since they were the ones who built Twins up in this competitive industry, there are more chances of building new artists that will follow Twins footsteps so Gillian is important but can always be replaced with more promotions and approval from authorities well more like offering bribes to achieve their goals in the industries.

Even when being so wealthy, EEG is still close to being dumb. It's probably true of how they believe that they can bring any other random girls up to replace Gillian, but whether they will succeed or not is the biggest question. No offense, but ever since after the Twins era, EEG really hasn't brought up any big knock-outs in. Being the 'male Twins', Boy'Z with Kenny and Steven didn't exactly make it very far. There has been groups who have been trying to imitate Twins like 2R or B2(which have faded by now), but none could compare. Even Paco had to drop the idea of letting Stephy and Theresa get together as a team by themselves to go against Twins when Cookies were coming to their first downsizing from nine to four because he figured that the plan won't work.

How could anyone think that gaining more profits is not important? Apparently EEG, but being wealthy isn't a reason to throw money out to a place of nowhere. If they're so wealthy, then they can just keep pushing Charlene as much as they want, but don't leave Gillian in the dust. They should just promote both of them simultaneously. Oh yes, I forgot. Gillian's purpose there of being in Twins is for the media to stroke with their pens of how Charlene is better. Ah ha, got it. wacko.gif I feel like I do want the disband to happen now. If the disband happens, then nothing Gillian does will concern Charlene in any way. Charlene's fans can trash all they want, and it won't stop the fact of Gillian being popular. dry.gif It won't be so ideal because they will still get compared. Urgh, it seems like through any path, Gillian is still led into a dead end with her career. There are probably two ways for things to get better for Gillian: 1) Twins split, Charlene goes into acting while Gillian goes into singing <--- could happen..... 2)EEG will finally have a 'conscience discovery' and treat Gillian better <---- FAT CHANCE.

I don't know about this new Twins movie because the producer would think twice beforehand since Gillian pulled in good results from "49 Days", but I don't count on it very much. Things with films aren't very promising due to what influences EEG have. Her series may be good, I suppose. 'World's Finest' produced by Wong Jing was quite fine. There are flaws and mistakes in the plot, but generally it was good. It was a hit in Mainland as well. At least we actually get to see Gillian longer because series are longer than films are.

He did a series before, "My Family", but that roles was pretty much how he personally is in real life. He has a film with Stephy, and a film with Miki (coincidently, it's a Wong Jing production as well). Exactly! EG has been so accepted even without any specific promotions. Think of what big hits they could've done if they produced a movie with them as leads. Their duet wasn't promoted either, but it was popular still. See?! The audience does their part of showing their support for Gillian, but EEG is always blinded or just pretends not to see or simply ignores. Now it's a smaller chance than a small chance for EG to cooperate together, considering Edison left EEG already. It seems like Edison always does this male plotted films/series now, like Initial D and Eight Heroes are all pretty much male-based. blink.gif Anyway, EEG probably wouldn't let Gillian do it anyways because it would be a big hit. Even if the EG rumours have gone by, people still bring it up at random times and EG still looks compatible together as ever!

I personally accept Joey more in singing than acting as well. Film roles given to Joey aren't exactly that significant. They're likable characters with nice personalities, but it doesn't stand out enough. Hehe, I found that Joey and Gillian both have a tendency of working with Stephen Fung. They've both worked with him twice. happy.gif'

Gill#1Fan
When I heard 2006 concert CD during Gill solo you heard tons of Gill fans yelling "Gui Gui Gui!!!!" Even if Twins was performing.. you never heard a "Sa Sa Sa!" and after Gill solo they was cheering like crazy and only when Gill said lets cheer for Ah Sa to come out then they did.. I bet if she didn't you wouldn't hear much clappig!

EEG is something I cant even explain! They use Gill to much!!

I totally agree with what everyone is saying about all this stupidity...
I don't think if I was a director I don't think I would want to promote Charlene...
I'm not trying to bash charlene or anything because I know that she's good in her own ways but
if she was to come act in Hollywood I don't think the movie directors here would want her because her
acting skills aren't quite that good yet....
She can't really portray any characters that well..... In most of the movies that i've seen her play are all the
same..there's no different whatsoever...her characters all falls into the same category everytime she's in a movie and that's really boring...I mean if i was a movie director and i wanna work with chinese actresses/actors charlene wouldn't be the first one i look into....she still doesn't have the abilities that i would want to look for in a actress......She's good at what she does but it's not quite up to the level that i want...The only characters that i think she can portray is probably a childish person because that's how she is in person....I honestly believe that she still needs more training on her acting especially when i saw Monkey King...I thought the character she played was really annoying and she can not act at all.. I didn't want to purchast the movie at all nor did i wanna recommend it to anyone....She probably has gotten better but not quite as good as i want her to be...
But as for Gillian..I believe that she can make it in Hollywood because she can portray any characters....she can play a bubbly person, a psycotic person, and so on...and that's what the entertainment industry are looking for actors and actresses who can challenge themselves to the extinct that they can play any characters and are risk taker...and Gillian seemed to be someone who has that ablility...
This has nothing to do with me liking Gillian than Charlene...It's about potential and characteristics and I see that in Gillian.....in every movies that I've seen her played in she does something different to surprise you...you don't want someone who does the same thing in every movie that they play.....I can't say that about charlene because she always have the kiddish tone and look..she doens't seem to be takin her characters seriously and that's not something I would want...
I believe that if Gillian was given the chance she would stunned the whole world with her abilities because she likes to challenge herself into believing that she can do it and i believe that she can do it......
Gillian is strong-will and she isn't afraid of what the press is going to say about herself.....
It really annoys me because of all these pointless accusations on her not being good enough just because they don't want to take the time to really see into it....

Whatever EEG is doing isn't fair...It's just wrong!!! Hopefully they'll come to realization that Gillian has what it takes just as much as charlene does....
Which I know that it isn't going to happen...............*sigh*

It was weird watching Sa in "Good Times Bed Times" and the whole sex thing in "My Wife is 18." BOK was not the normal shallow puppy love triangle most films revolve around. It took a lot more than just watching to understand the plot and that is something Twins films never achieve. Everything is thrown in altogether creating quite a sloppy production. Yeah, so if both Twins were featured in BOK...the suspense and twist would had turned sour.

Yeah...right on. I mean, why do Twins always have to begin off their relationship fighting each other then out of nowhere...like literally all of a sudden, they fight side by side? blink.gif That absolutely makes no sense. And would you just simply forgive someone for throwing such sassy and bratty mood swings at you for apparently no logical reasons at all if you were Gipsy in Twins Effect I?? I know I wouldn't. whistle.gif And you know what I also dislike most in Twins films? Sa's character is always the one who determines the friendship. Like in Twins Effect I, Sa was extremely b*tchy towards Gillian then she within a couple of days suddenly approached Gillian and built a sister-n-law bond with her. In Twins Effect II, when all four leads met and Gillian also claimed to be the "Crouching Tiger" Sa just immediately accepted her and became friends. In the "Death Curse" Sa again gave Gillian the offensive annoyed look while Gillian gently offered her token of friendship. It's like whenever Sa doesn't want to be friends with Gillian then there is no friendship but whenever she's in her right good mind then she acts as if tension between them never existed and realistically, it's not like that. Sa's characters treat Gillian's characters as if she's a piece of emotionaless property she can trample all over whenever she wants and feels like it. And that is the essence of friendship? I mean, Gillian's characters are too forgiving. dry.gif

Tao Hong and Gillian did share an array of emotions. Your description totally matches up with mine. It was sort of suspicious when they were riding the motorcycle and since both females seem to be extreme feminists that's why they both took revenge on Ken, there is a possibility that they could develop a deeper relationship.

Yeah, either way...I'll still support Gillian's films even though I may cringe or crack a giggle not because it's funny but because it's so ridiculously repetitive. dry.gif

Well, EEG has the right tools to make a cute pair of girls work. That's why Twins are super popular considering how many girl duos attempted by other companies before and after Twins were formed. As for guys, duos don't really work. It's better in groups of 4-5, a complete band so that perhaps can explain why Boy'z didn't work too well. Unless, like Soler...they're different; they don't try to pull a cute image like Boy'z. In order for Boy'z to become successful in the cute and pretty boy image EEG wanted them to portray, more members were needed like F4 to be a huge hit. EEG hasn't seriously put their replacements into effect yet so we really have no idea on who really is in and who is out.

World's Finest was one of the more popular serials released recently like the year before last year I believe or was it last year, oh well. The only serial that stood out was that one. That's why Michelle Ye has gained more confident than ever building herself an acting career outside of TVB boundaries ever since her popularity boomed from that serial in Mainland China. Hopefully, Gillian's serial will soar as well but I'm not so sure either because this is a remake and too many comparisons will be made.

EG were super cute. Their image was everywhere: tabloids, magazines, news, interviews, articles...you name it. EEG didn't take that chance of promoting them two as a special pair on the side. There are still a lot of EG Fans floating around the internet and could revive the entire love theme but Edison and Gillian needs to reunite in a really good project together.

During Twins Effect I when Sa had to I think bite Edison's neck but she had to use a doll instead. I wasn't fond of her reason why they had to use a doll. Sa stated that if she had performed the bite on Edison and not the doll then she was afraid her sisterhood with Gillian might be damaged or ruined. Like what kind of an answer is that?? She makes Gillian appear so unprofessional and enviously possessive as if Gillian cannot distinguish work from personal issues. I would think Gillian knows better than that. If it was for a movie scene then of course it's ok unless other fishy things went on? blink.gif I mean, Sa could had answered something like, a real bite might hurt so she decided not to do it or it might take too many takes to film it perfectly and it might be too much a hassel blah blah etc. but no, she had mention that Gillian would be discontent. But I guess in a way, her answer indicated that YUP truthfully...EG were an item at that time but were silently dating.

Yeah, as Twins are diverging into their own projects, I guess fans have also predicted the soon to be split and now they have to scrabble on who to support once the split is official so Gillian Fans are becoming more united I suppose or it could be just that function that had more Gillian Fans near the cameras.

Um, does anyone have the Eason song that was featured in "If You Care?" I love that song. And by any chance, does anyone have the humming music of Twins Effect I when Ekin was laying on the bed after being stabbed by Gillian and when he died?--That music is so heart jerking. Thanks.

But as for Gillian..I believe that she can make it in Hollywood because she can portray any characters....she can play a bubbly person, a psycotic person, and so on...and that's what the entertainment industry are looking for actors and actresses who can challenge themselves to the extinct that they can play any characters and are risk taker...and Gillian seemed to be someone who has that ablility...
This has nothing to do with me liking Gillian than Charlene...It's about potential and characteristics and I see that in Gillian.....in every movies that I've seen her played in she does something different to surprise you...you don't want someone who does the same thing in every movie that they play.....I can't say that about charlene because she always have the kiddish tone and look..she doens't seem to be takin her characters seriously and that's not something I would want...
I believe that if Gillian was given the chance she would stunned the whole world with her abilities because she likes to challenge herself into believing that she can do it and i believe that she can do it......
Gillian is strong-will and she isn't afraid of what the press is going to say about herself.....
It really annoys me because of all these pointless accusations on her not being good enough just because they don't want to take the time to really see into it....

Whatever EEG is doing isn't fair...It's just wrong!!! Hopefully they'll come to realization that Gillian has what it takes just as much as charlene does....
Which I know that it isn't going to happen...............*sigh*

I totally agree with you. Hollywood is a whole different ball game. HK loves those bubbly sassy roles but Hollywood?? It's more of those characters Gillian has portrayed like BOK, HOF, Death Curse, 49 Days, Happy Go Lucky that attracts the audience.

Yeah...right on. I mean, why do Twins always have to begin off their relationship fighting each other then out of nowhere...like literally all of a sudden, they fight side by side? blink.gif That absolutely makes no sense. And would you just simply forgive someone for throwing such sassy and bratty mood swings at you for apparently no logical reasons at all if you were Gipsy in Twins Effect I?? I know I wouldn't. whistle.gif And you know what I also dislike most in Twins films? Sa's character is always the one who determines the friendship. Like in Twins Effect I, Sa was extremely b*tchy towards Gillian then she within a couple of days suddenly approached Gillian and built a sister-n-law bond with her. In Twins Effect II, when all four leads met and Gillian also claimed to be the "Crouching Tiger" Sa just immediately accepted her and became friends. In the "Death Curse" Sa again gave Gillian the offensive annoyed look while Gillian gently offered her token of friendship. It's like whenever Sa doesn't want to be friends with Gillian then there is no friendship but whenever she's in her right good mind then she acts as if tension between them never existed and realistically, it's not like that. Sa's characters treat Gillian's characters as if she's a piece of emotionaless property she can trample all over whenever she wants and feels like it. And that is the essence of friendship? I mean, Gillian's characters are too forgiving. dry.gif

In Twins films, they always have to throw that sudden friendship in there to show off the image of Gillian and Charlene being Twins. It's making it too deliberate. Acting is part of separating reality and drama; just because they are Twins in real life doesn't mean that they absolutely have to be best friends in every single movie. I could see if they were friends right when the film began, but no, they have to enemies/strangers and then suddenly become friends. It would be quite refreshing if Twins were featured in a movie where they were friends from the start and ended to be enemies or they could start by being enemies and stay enemies. A plot like due to some important reason, they had to work together to resolve a problem, and when it's finally resolved, they both understand that it's the best thing to do to forgive each other, but due to certain issues, the grudge in the heart just can't be erased, so they choose the painful path. :dede: Hehe, I don't know! It just seems like something new that they can do!!

Well, it seems a lot like the film characters can be a lot like a spoof off of reality, seeing that Charlene's characters always trample over Gillian's characters and Gillian's characters just have to forgive her every single time. whistle.gif As Charlene and her characters always have the right to determine everything, and Gillian and her characters just always have to be the followers.

Well, EEG has the right tools to make a cute pair of girls work. That's why Twins are super popular considering how many girl duos attempted by other companies before and after Twins were formed. As for guys, duos don't really work. It's better in groups of 4-5, a complete band so that perhaps can explain why Boy'z didn't work too well. Unless, like Soler...they're different; they don't try to pull a cute image like Boy'z. In order for Boy'z to become successful in the cute and pretty boy image EEG wanted them to portray, more members were needed like F4 to be a huge hit. EEG hasn't seriously put their replacements into effect yet so we really have no idea on who really is in and who is out.

All I can say is, EEG may have brought Twins out into the showbiz, but Twins' popularity was really on for themselves. Charlene and Gillian had the click with each other because they actually looked a bit alike back then, maybe it was more like the hairstyle and the style of clothing they wore that were similar as well; hence, Twins worked out. If Twins' first EP didn't sell so well, it would've been off with the group, Twins, already. They probably would've introduced Charlene in again later on, but Gillian probably would've been gone, seeing what they do to her now even when Gillian's so popular and well-liked; they would care less if Gillian didn't have the popularity.

Cuteness works better when sold from girls, it kinda makes you go, "Huh?" when you see two guys coming up looking all cute. Tat Ming Yat Pai and Soler worked because they sell their singing. I agree that you do need more members if you want to pull off an idol image thing for a group of guys. It seems like EEG has already forgotten that they have a group named, "Boy'Z", under their management already. They don't do anything. So where's that album that they were supposedly recording? :closedeyes: Even if EEG does have a sense of how to group girls together, they can't do that if Twins is still in action. If the new group does work, then they're only going to be eating off jobs of Twins since they would have the fresh image. Don't they have a group of four or five girls called Baby Girls are something like that? Well, they stay in Mainland/Taiwan, so it doesn't do justice to EEG nor do I know if they're successful or not, I don't think so though.

World's Finest was one of the more popular serials released recently like the year before last year I believe or was it last year, oh well. The only serial that stood out was that one. That's why Michelle Ye has gained more confident than ever building herself an acting career outside of TVB boundaries ever since her popularity boomed from that serial in Mainland China. Hopefully, Gillian's serial will soar as well but I'm not so sure either because this is a remake and too many comparisons will be made.

EG were super cute. Their image was everywhere: tabloids, magazines, news, interviews, articles...you name it. EEG didn't take that chance of promoting them two as a special pair on the side. There are still a lot of EG Fans floating around the internet and could revive the entire love theme but Edison and Gillian needs to reunite in a really good project together.

Yeah, I hope the quality of Flying Fox And Snowy Mountain is at least, if not better, the same quality that World's Finest was. We can bear a few flaws, but don't make it ridiculous. I also hope that Flying Fox And Snowy Mountain can have close to the same success as World's Finest did. If World's Finest can give Michelle enough recognition to have Rich & Famous sign her up to film movies rather than sticking around with TVB series that got her nowhere, then imagine what it could bring Gillian if she got the same recognition. 1.gif

I'd like to see EG actually star in a film as the leads. You know, they were so popular and referred to as a Golden Couple, but we never actually saw them share a nice, long chemistry together on-screen. EEG probably didn't promote the two together because promoting EG is promoting Gillian along the way, and they just can't afford to have Gillian gain more exposure for some lame reason of theirs. If they do reunite on-screen, it better be a good quality film. I hope it's not a Wong Jing production though; no offense to him, even though he has referred to EG as a great on-screen couple, and he wants to pair them up in every one of his movies that he has of them, but his films really don't do their pairing any justice at all.

During Twins Effect I when Sa had to I think bite Edison's neck but she had to use a doll instead. I wasn't fond of her reason why they had to use a doll. Sa stated that if she had performed the bite on Edison and not the doll then she was afraid her sisterhood with Gillian might be damaged or ruined. Like what kind of an answer is that?? She makes Gillian appear so unprofessional and enviously possessive as if Gillian cannot distinguish work from personal issues. I would think Gillian knows better than that. If it was for a movie scene then of course it's ok unless other fishy things went on? blink.gif I mean, Sa could had answered something like, a real bite might hurt so she decided not to do it or it might take too many takes to film it perfectly and it might be too much a hassel blah blah etc. but no, she had mention that Gillian would be discontent. But I guess in a way, her answer indicated that YUP truthfully...EG were an item at that time but were silently dating.
GILLIAN SUPPORTER!!

:lame: That was definitely a lame reason. Yeah, she and Gillian are referred to as actresses for a reason. They're supposed to act very professionally and follow directions from the directors for the best of the film. Not only does her answer give an attempt to make Gillian seem unprofessional, but it also makes herself sound unprofessional as well. It's not like Gillian threatened her about it or anything, but she just *ahem* "felt" that Gillian would feel jealous? Either her answer indicated that EG were an item, or it was simply an answer to stir up news, mainly negatives on Gillian. The director had to smoothen out Charlene's answer afterwards though; he explained that Edison didn't have time for that scene in his schedule? I thought that was a pretty dumb reasoning, for it was one scene, I think they could've managed to fit time for one short scene in. happy.gif'

How could anyone think that gaining more profits is not important? Apparently EEG, but being wealthy isn't a reason to throw money out to a place of nowhere. If they're so wealthy, then they can just keep pushing Charlene as much as they want, but don't leave Gillian in the dust. They should just promote both of them simultaneously. Oh yes, I forgot. Gillian's purpose there of being in Twins is for the media to stroke with their pens of how Charlene is better. Ah ha, got it. wacko.gif I feel like I do want the disband to happen now. If the disband happens, then nothing Gillian does will concern Charlene in any way. Charlene's fans can trash all they want, and it won't stop the fact of Gillian being popular. dry.gif It won't be so ideal because they will still get compared. Urgh, it seems like through any path, Gillian is still led into a dead end with her career. There are probably two ways for things to get better for Gillian: 1) Twins split, Charlene goes into acting while Gillian goes into singing <--- could happen..... 2)EEG will finally have a 'conscience discovery' and treat Gillian better <---- FAT CHANCE.

Maybe Gillian fans are coming to voice out more because they know that Gillian is in need of their practical support? During a function of EEG artists in GuangZhou , there was a fan who took a photo of all the shining light signs held up by fans. The signs had: "Twins" "Sa" and "Giu" written on there, and there were more Giu signs than Sa signs. During performances, we can always hear the surroundings be going "Giu! Giu!" Gillian's support will be longlasting, but we just need to let EEG know that somehow. unsure.gif

As someone has said earlier (I don't know whether it was here or in another forum), even when Charlene and Gillian are in the same group there are many Char fans who bash and even threaten Gillian, then can you imagine what they will do after that they have disbanded?! I know some bashing won't hurt, since we can't expect everyone to like her, but I just hope they won't go as far as what the KC fan did...
If it was a few years back I wouldn't want them to split, but since we can see that Gillian can do as good or even better by herself...I kind of want them to disband too. Since it would do both of them good, when it comes to both singing- and acting-wise. Because then Gillian can go her own path and choose whatever songs that suit her and the same with Charlene. And plus there wouldn't be a reason of the directors to put them in the same movies either...

Twins need something new or else their fading popularity will only worsen due to too much exposure in both areas and not much new to entertain and interest the audience with. Twins would probably never really duel each other in a film because wouldn't that make one a villain and the other protagonist? Even though Sa's characters flood the screen but the more important and protagonist like characters fall upon Gillian except for the Death Curse so obviously if Twins were to star in a enemy-like genre, Gillian is certainly not the villain and Sa's characters are too overly cute that she can't possibly pass for a villain either so I guess that's why Twins can never pull off a serious genre of friendship, betrayal, love, and hate. I mean, if Twins were involved in a love triangle, that would even become more obvious on who is the protagonist as she ends up with the male lead. loool.gif And for the records, Edison in Twins Effect I was not even close to being the male lead so no, Sa wasn't the lead lead. It was Gillian who swallowed the vampire thing and defeated the main villain. I just tend to believe that a main lead character is labelled as a lead for some particular reason so since Gillian normally receives the more important roles indicating her impact on the storyline, her lead role, she should get more screentime than Sa, whose character exists to make the audience laugh but doesn't have much influence on the plot but rarely does that happen.

Yeah, it isn't enjoyable watching Gillian's characters get thrown around. Helen in Twins Effect I only befriended Gipsy because she needed Gipsy to cover up for her at the fair and support her relationship with a vampire. Nancy in Death Curse only again befriended Linda because she was afraid to sleep alone so she needed someone to comfort her or shield her from fear. 13th Young Master in Twins Effect II only befriended Blue Bird because she wanted to take advantage of finding some type of treasure. unsure.gif So the majority of Sa's characters are a bit selfish? blink.gif Hopefully, this next Twins film project won't be as self-centered when they become friends.

Twins are successful due to their own hardwork and spark that just struck HK like no other but part of it does involve EEG. I guess, EEG has this huge ego that if they already built so many successful artists once, they can repeat the steps again but they are forgetting or ignoring the fact that the market constantly changes. I really do hope that Gillian can somehow get out of this bind. It would be such an extreme loss to the HK industry if Gillian faded due to being underpromoted. Gillian has a lot of unreleashed potential in both acting and singing, EEG should really reconsider their circumstances.

EEG has attempted a few girl groups but they aren't as successful. EEG is only successful in HK, other companies like Sony rule in other surrounding regions because for one, their singers are some of the top international well accepted artists with talent.

Boy'z? Hm, no one even remembers them anymore. Great job EEG! dry.gif Pat on their backs for achieving their intentions of freezing Steven in singing, a career he was formed for. whistle.gif

One of the most talked about serials recently was World's Finest. I agree, that there were minor glitches but which serial doesn't? Hopefully, the filming, wardrobe, and finished product doesn't turn out like the World's Finest though because the wardrobe was unbearable (my personal impression), the filmography of the angles etc. were nice but could had been more professional and clear, and hair is everything! Some crews tend to get really lazy pasting and removing hair back and forth so they just have the actors wear any simple wigs and that is a recipe for disaster. cluebat.gif The overall production of Amazing Twins was a bit better in my opinion. The wardrobe made Nic look extremely appealing and hot while Dicky looked like Dicky, nothing special but the fighting scenes, raining scenes, and everything altogether came out pretty well coordinated. Let's hope Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain is a similar BUT even better production. Hopefully, Gillian's character has an extremely unique wardrobe since she'll be dealing with medicine so I'm expecting unique patterns to go along with her herbs and stuff and hope that her hair will also have unique gadgets or something, something similar to Ah Nu in Chinese Paladin would look really cute and extraordinary. happy.gif' I tend to associate medicine pupils to funky clothes. Um, is this serial, this adaption Hans or Manchus? Because Sunny and Charmaine's adpation was Manchu but just from pictures, it seems like this adaption this time around is Hans??

I don't know why but I'm rewatching all of the Gillian movies I have. I really liked "If You Care" too. Gillian was so sincere and cute. I found it to be so emotionally sweet when she carried Eason on her back as a fire fighter when they had no idea that they were lost childhood friends. wavecry.gif Everytime I hear this song, it so reminds me of this movie.

If Sa fans threaten Gillian again, Kenny who sold himself as Gillian's slave for her birthday gift will protect her!! harhar.gif One thing I am restless about is, Gillian sort of needs Sa for promotions from EEG. Once Twins split, I'm not sure if EEG will still promote Gillian or are they going to put her off to the side, focus on Sa, and then attend to her later but by then, it would 10X the difficulty returning to the ET industry as a solo artist under the EEG shadows of Sa. GR! EEG!! Currently, it really really depends on how strongly united Gillian fans are, they are the bottom line determining factors of Gillian's next step in her career.

Yeah, I think it was at this forum, mentioned by kawaiilala? Uh huh, as we can see Gillian/Kenny/Charlene incident, Charlene fans can get out of hand sometimes. Don't mind me saying, but the KC fan was obviously more concerned about Charlene than Kenny. The pairing of KG isn't even the actual issue that the fan wanted to complain about. Kenny was just there as an excuse to complain about Gillian. For example, if we were as uncivilized as some may be, we, as Gillian fans, could be writing letters to EEG saying that we don't like the pairing of SC and we want Gillian to be with Steven more, and we're threatening Charlene,etc. Obviously, we'd just be doing it because of Gillian, and nothing about SC/SG. The only difference would be that kind of information wouldn't be let out to the media because it is going against Charlene, and if it did leak out, then the fault would still land down on Gillian about how out-of-control her fans are. :lame:

If the fan hated KG that much, we'd imagine he/she would've complained earlier and not wait about two or three years after they've been paired up for multiple times already? It was a bit after Kenny went solo too, and that already minimizes the chance of KG pairing up again because Kenny is off to Isabella as he is a solo artist. Then to comfort that immature fan, EEG let Charlene star in Kenny's MV and let them have a kiss, which I read that the role was supposed to be Gillian's dry.gif , though I'm not sure of whether it's true or not. It doesn't seem that likely though since there was a kissing scene in there, and we know where Gillian's restrictions are. If it was true, then that hater has just made Gillian lose her chance of tearing her restrictions apart. twisted.gif Anyway, I think EEG probably knows that KG are actually quite suitable for each other since after that threatening thing died down, who is the one dueting with Kenny and filming a MV with him? Gillian. innocent.gif

I agree with you that it wouldn't have been suitable for Twins to split earlier, but it seems like they are actually holdbacks for each other at certain times. Songs suitable for Charlene, which are most of the Twins songs, really aren't suitable for Gillian, and songs suitable for Gillian, which are songs that are more upbeat and with rollercoaster strains of the voice, aren't suitable for Charlene. Even movie genres of each don't correspond with each other. I don't know about Charlene, but I can say that Gillian's best films are those without Charlene (nothing against Charlene, but judging from plot). Now I kinda want them to disband too.

I mean, if Twins were involved in a love triangle, that would even become more obvious on who is the protagonist as she ends up with the male lead. loool.gif And for the records, Edison in Twins Effect I was not even close to being the male lead so no, Sa wasn't the lead lead. It was Gillian who swallowed the vampire thing and defeated the main villain. I just tend to believe that a main lead character is labelled as a lead for some particular reason so since Gillian normally receives the more important roles indicating her impact on the storyline, her lead role, she should get more screentime than Sa, whose character exists to make the audience laugh but doesn't have much influence on the plot but rarely does that happen.

It wouldn't neccesarily make one of them the villian because there are times where two are actually good people at heart, but they just don't agree with each other or even work against each other because of their own good reasons. For the love triangle, the male lead sometimes just don't end up with his true love due to little stupid reasons about morals or responsibility, so he chooses the cuter, and most often the 'weaker' one, who he believes to seriously cannot take it if he left her, and he leaves the 'stronger' one, most often the one he really loves, just because 'she'll be able to resist the pain'. dry.gif That kind of plot is sometimes so corny, yet it makes one jerk a lot of tears for the girl who is left alone. That's also where she wins all the points from the audience too. clapping.gif Wait a sec..... speaking of love triangles, I've just noticed that Twins never really had been in a love triangle before, besides their MVs. blink.gif Now that you speak of it, Gillian's' characters are leading in terms of the plot in their previous films, just not in screentime. Maybe that's how the scriptwriters decided to help Gillian out; in no way could they help her out in terms of screentime because it would be obvious, but they can assign her to a character who is important and useful towards the plot of the film. eyebrowes.gif:

Your reasoning is true to about why Twins can never pull off something serious. Maybe it'll only work to how Transition said it, only if they disband could directors not be obligated to place Gillian and Charlene in the same film, or even if they do, not be obligated to care so much for their sisterly image that they can never seriously quarrel in a film, at least not for long. I remember actually looking forward to TTE II because in the news about the filming TTE II, the director complimented that Gillian could really switch her expressions and emotions really well in and out of scenes since she was playing a villian, and also there were articles stating that Gillian was the female lead and Charlene was merely playing a supporting character wacko.gif . Then when I watch it, I find that Blue Bird was not even close to being a villian, she was merely following orders of WeiLiu to find the Star Of Rex and didn't even intend to hurt any of them. As for Charlene being supporting, now I know that being a supporting character doesn't neccesarily reflect on the screentime. I mean, 13th Young Master is a supporting character in the terms of the plot, but her screentime still flooded and stood equally, if not more, with Blue Bird, who is a leading character in the terms of the plot.

Twins are successful due to their own hardwork and spark that just struck HK like no other but part of it does involve EEG. I guess, EEG has this huge ego that if they already built so many successful artists once, they can repeat the steps again but they are forgetting or ignoring the fact that the market constantly changes. I really do hope that Gillian can somehow get out of this bind. It would be such an extreme loss to the HK industry if Gillian faded due to being underpromoted. Gillian has a lot of unreleashed potential in both acting and singing, EEG should really reconsider their circumstances.

Boy'z? Hm, no one even remembers them anymore. Great job EEG! dry.gif Pat on their backs for achieving their intentions of freezing Steven in singing, a career he was formed for. whistle.gif

EEG should really think outside the box for once and set aside those silly family tie issues as well. But I suppose giving someone what they deserve doesn't exactly appear in their dictionary, does it? down.gif Gillian is trapped at the moment, but I hope she does find her way out or find someone as her guide to lead her out. It would be a pity if Gillian faded only because of underpromotion, for we can see that she still has a lot of things that we haven't seen yet to contribute to the industry.

At least there are still people sticking up for Steven and supporting him. Just think of it, Gillian fans and Steven fans caused a huge traffic jam during that parade thing for "49 Days". Weren't there hundreds of people there? Well, a Steven fan who was there did admit and point out that there were more Gillian fans there in general, but there were quite a few Steven fans there as well.

One of the most talked about serials recently was World's Finest. I agree, that there were minor glitches but which serial doesn't? Hopefully, the filming, wardrobe, and finished product doesn't turn out like the World's Finest though because the wardrobe was unbearable (my personal impression), the filmography of the angles etc. were nice but could had been more professional and clear, and hair is everything! Some crews tend to get really lazy pasting and removing hair back and forth so they just have the actors wear any simple wigs and that is a recipe for disaster. cluebat.gif The overall production of Amazing Twins was a bit better in my opinion. The wardrobe made Nic look extremely appealing and hot while Dicky looked like Dicky, nothing special but the fighting scenes, raining scenes, and everything altogether came out pretty well coordinated. Let's hope Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain is a similar BUT even better production. Hopefully, Gillian's character has an extremely unique wardrobe since she'll be dealing with medicine so I'm expecting unique patterns to go along with her herbs and stuff and hope that her hair will also have unique gadgets or something, something similar to Ah Nu in Chinese Paladin would look really cute and extraordinary. happy.gif' I tend to associate medicine pupils to funky clothes. Um, is this serial, this adaption Hans or Manchus? Because Sunny and Charmaine's adpation was Manchu but just from pictures, it seems like this adaption this time around is Hans?? I could be wrong but the clothes and hair Nie Yuan and Athena wore to the opening ceremony/press conference were Hans right?? I'm confused. blink.gif I have never read the novel so I have no idea which dynasty or era this story really took place in.

Mainly, I didn't like the hairstyles of the male leads in World's Finest. Wallace and Roger's hair just made you think, "Were there curling irons back then?" duh.gif The only hairstyle and wardrobe that looked nice was Michelle's female wardrobe, not her pink cottage girl outfit, but the one she wore near the end and when she died? I think that looked pretty, but of course we didn't get to see much of that. I hope Gillian has a good wardrobe too since she doesn't exactly have to advertise the 'flying fox' part of the show as Nie Yuan and Athena do and splatter a big fox fur thing around their shoulders. happy.gif'

It seems like Gillian actually likes this role personally this time. In a recent magazine interview, she said she was happy because she can finally portray a tragic role! clapping.gif Gillian revealed that she's been reading the novel itself earlier, so she'd have the understanding of the role before actually filming. blush.gif She said, "Ching Ling So is an apprentice of a medicine master and an orphan. Her senior (Sze Jie) is jealous of her because their master had passed the secret manual of medicine down to her, so she plans to seek revenge on Ching Ling So. During this time, Woo Fei (Nie Yuan) saves her, and Ching Ling So ends up falling in love with him, yet Woo Fei loved another, so this is a role of tragedy!" If Gillian is enjoying the role, then there's no reason for us not to, I guess.

I'm not sure about the dynasty, but I think it should be the Qing dynasty since it does involve QianLun and he's an emperor of the Qing dynasty? But I don't know if that was made up by TVB or not. I kinda want it to be in the Hans time since they just tend to have better wardrobes. During the Qing/ManChu times, all they can have is a braid, or any hairstyle involves a braid, but then Wong Jing doesn't pay that much attention to it. In Duke Of Mt. Deer, it was in Qing Dynasty, but all the wives of Dicky had hairstyles of the Hans Dynasty. None of them did have braids.

To me, I think a girl who works with medicine should kinda appear like a goddess. Maybe I'm just influenced after watching The Herbalist's Manual of how Michelle appeared like a god when she was a medicine girl. Obviously unless they do an extreme makeover on Gillian to make her look ugly to suit the novel, then they can't refer to her as ugly in the series, unless they want some serious criticisms. It also ruins the point to how directors like choosing beauties to be Ching Ling So, or maybe Wong Jing just wants to appear to be different? happy.gif' It could probably be better if they switch to saying that Ching Ling So is a beautiful girl, but Woo Fei still can't accept her because she simply isn't his true love. It could make Woo Fei appear to be less shallow and judgemental about things.

If Sa fans threaten Gillian again, Kenny who sold himself as Gillian's slave for her birthday gift will protect her!! harhar.gif One thing I am restless about is, Gillian sort of needs Sa for promotions from EEG. Once Twins split, I'm not sure if EEG will still promote Gillian or are they going to put her off to the side, focus on Sa, and then attend to her later but by then, it would 10X the difficulty returning to the ET industry as a solo artist under the EEG shadows of Sa. GR! EEG!! Currently, it really really depends on how strongly united Gillian fans are, they are the bottom line determining factors of Gillian's next step in her career.

GILLIAN SUPPORTER!!

Kenny did voice out for Gillian when the threatening by Charlene fans occurred earlier. He said that he'll act as a shield for Gillian and should any feces come her way, it'll have to get past him first. infatuated.gif Well, as you've said before, up to this point, Twins are still interdependent on each other. Gillian needs promotions, and she'll get them from sticking by Charlene. Charlene needs popularity, and she'll get some by living off of Gillian under the name of Twins. Gillian's problem is easier than easy to solve. EEG simply has to transfer half of the promotions they place on Charlene to Gillian, and she'll be good to go. Charlene's problem's harder though to techniquely 'solve' because it doesn't depend on promotions, but on the audience. But I'm sure that EEG wouldn't mind wasting a few more bucks to do more manipulation on people to think Charlene's still so popular, they just need to focus a bit more on Gillian.

I would've thought that EEG would put Gillian in the corner if Twins had split two or three years ago, but I seriously think differently now. From our earlier discussions, it seems as if EEG does need Gillian as one of those who stand EEG up. It's a fact that EEG needs someone to take turns of grabbing the Best Female Singer Award with Joey. Joey's really pushing it far already with the TVB Award ceremony, she's taken it three times in a row, anymore EEG is going to be trashed for rigging it though Joey is a good singer. EEG craves for the award to be in their pockets, but they will probably have to let it go this year.

I know that EEG, as you've said, has a high ego of themselves of bringing up artists, but how long would it take for them to do that? Mani has already hinted towards the media that because Twins is a group, they are unable to snatch the Best Female Singer Award, but can only settle for Best Group at the most. Twins aren't even able to grab a top ten songs award. EEG doesn't invest much in Twins anymore either. Their MVs are more simple than simple; all their MVs of their recent album were ripped off of their concert; therefore, not even having to film for them. 'Kindergarten' is a very good and meaningful song, but the highest it could even go on the JSG charts was fourth place; it was taken off all the charts completely afterwards. To sum it up, EEG seriously needs one of the Twins to help out because they are well-known, no offense to Isabella or Yumiko, but they're not even worth the mentioning about taking Best Female Singer at the moment anyway. Both Twins in the game would be shooting themselves in the foot though. From our earlier discussions, it's more likely for the singing one to be Gillian, for she hasn't been labelled as a singing person nor an acting person, and Charlene has been recognized as one to act.

It's really thoughtful of the scriptwriters if they really intend to do that to help Gillian but I don't think a lot of people really sees these little things. Their judgements base on the screentime of the character to base their order of importance and not the character's contribution. Nowadays, alot people are not watching movies base on the plot but the actresses/actors in it and never think deep into each characters. They watch for the sake of watching loool.gif

I had always thought Gillian was the lead in TE1 because her character pretty much contributed a lot to the plot. The thing that I really didn't really like is the side relationship she had with Ekin. It wasn't even develope enough unlike Charlene's relationship with Edison...Honestly, Charlene's character, Helen, seems a little unneccessary to be in the story..I didn't see how she contributed to the plot other than going out with the Vampire Prince which wouldn't have effected much with the battle at the end because Edison's character was kind of weak and have no say in the Vampire world. Her part seemed to be thrown in for people to get a break from all the serious actions in Gillian's scenes.

What do you mean this thread is all about Charlene doing something wrong?? Have you read enough of this page or this whole thread to make that assumption??

Obviously we are talking about how Gillian is getting underpromoted here if not where?? It's actually really nice to gather Gillian fans here and have a discussion about it. I don't find anything wrong talking about this topic as it concerns Gillian and it actually helps us fans know much more about Gillian by sharing our concerns and thoughts of things relating to Gillian and the EEG treatment.

Edit:

I was wondering..is the series "Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain" going to be in Mandarin?? If it is...Gillian's voice will most likely be dubbed..I usually hate dubbed voices in artists that I know about. It tends to annoys me..lolx..It would be great if Gillian's voice wouldn't be dubbed if it's in mandarin.

I agree with bluehearts; have you read enough of what we wrote to make that assumption? We all have good reasons to discuss about the biased treatment of EEG towards Gillian; we never bring up anything that's ridiculous to mention, and when we do make a comment on Charlene, we do have reasons and facts to back it up. It's not like we're yelling at Charlene for no reason. In fact, our major discussion here is just about EEG VS Gillian, but the thing is that the biased treatment is in fact between Gillian and Charlene, so sometimes we do have to bring Charlene in about the issue. Another thing, the biased issue isn't the only thing we talk about. We discuss everything that concerns Gillian. ex. music charts, film roles, upcoming events, etc. That is why a thread titled "Gillian Chung" is made; it's for fans to gather and understand more about what's happening with Gillian. I'm sure that's what you would do in the "Charlene Choi" thread. Put yourself in our shoes; think of how you would feel if nearly everything EEG does is geared towards Gillian, and Charlene is always left out? Wouldn't you talk about it with other Charlene fans to see what you can do to support your idol?

I'm pretty sure that there'll be a cantonese version and a mandarin version. Wong Jing series are always like that since it has casts from all over. When they air it in Mainland/Taiwan, then they will dub the cantonese voices into mandarin, and when they air it in HK, they will dub the mandarin voices into cantonese. Sometimes they dub all the voices when they air it in Mainland/Taiwan though, regardless of what language they were originally speaking, but in HK, they'll definitely leave the cantonese voices alone, and deal with the mandarin voices. It's like how Monkey King and Duke Of Mt. Deer was done.

I'm pretty sure they will use Gillian's regular voice when they air in HK, but there is a slight chance that they will dub her voice over with another cantonese voice if it happens to air on ATV since Gillian has a singer's contract with TVB, and techinquely, singers cannot speak cantonese on ATV or other channels though they can be interviewed by them.

Overrated? Gillian is the one being underpromoted here. None of us have said anything about Charlene not having many fans, but from our viewings of the 2006 concert and recent performances, we have observed that there are more voices screaming for "Giu" during the concert and performances than there are of those that scream for "Sa", or sometimes even none, or it could be that I just missed it. I don't know about NYC because I don't live there, but I do agree that the likeness of each idol varies among different places, yet your reasoning isn't very convincing because your friends could really just be saying their opinions and your guessing could also very well be affected by your likeness of Charlene. We have all looked over different forums, watched Twins concerts, and their public performances before we came to the conclusion that Gillian is, in fact, more popular than Charlene.

Hey Gillian fans, I wonder why we're starting to get criticisms about Gillian and of what we discuss in here all of the sudden? happy.gif'

I've noticed that as well; Twins songs really haven't been doing well. down.gif Could this mean something? unsure.gif Songs from "The Missing Piece" album can be said to be the best that Twins have done, so how could they do so badly on the charts? It's probably not because of a popularity flop for Gillian and Charlene since their concert/album sold so well. What could be the problem?

I can't believe what happened to A Story From Texas though; 13th place was the highest it went, but a fan from another forum did inform that it could be because A Story From Texas is Twins' third plug, and radio stations usually don't take songs by the same artist after his/her second plug very seriously. JSG charts are sometimes really biased as well. I mean, Bernice Liu's and Ron Ng's songs got a higher place than Kindergarten? I wonder if that has something to do with the fact that Bernice and Ron are TVB contracted artists? rolleyes.gif

arrgg, i gave up reading the news/debate after 3 sentences, but i caught a part of a sentence about how movies w/ both Twins members were less supported or something because Sa's character is more bubbly and Gillian is always the supposed to be quiet and shy one.

whether i read correctly or not, i support that idea. it's not Sa doing anything wrong, though. i really think in the entertainment industry, Gillian is being treated unfairly.(yess, that comes up again). it seems that since Gill is almost never portrayed with a bubbly person, so producers don't think the popularity of the movie will be stable(like, Gillian suddenly turning all perky and happy-ish). but isn't that how you rise in popularity in the entertainment industry? taking chances?

okayyy, that topic is going nowhere at all. i'm just going to end that b/c i don't even understand what i'm trying to say...

If TVB is using it as a ad/commerical shouldn't the commerical/ad have Gill and Kenny together? And if TVb is using it shouldn't there be a TVB verison soon!?? I hope they can promote the song as much as Alex and Theresa did with thier duet!

I don't think Kenny and Gillian did film anything for the TVB magazine's ad/commercial. If they did film anything, seeing the efficiency of HK fans, they would've taped and shared it online already. I'm not even sure whether 'Conscience Discovery' was used for an ad or a commercial because unfortunately, the phrase for an ad and a commercial are both "gwong go" in chinese, so I'm not sure which of those did the fan mean. If it's a commerical, then they could just be playing 'Conscience Discovery' in the background while the screen shows what the TVB magazine is featuring for the upcoming issue. If it's an ad, it could very well just be recommending the song on a random page to people who buy the TVB magazine.

But if TVB is using 'Conscience Discovery' in either way, then I'd say we should get a TVB version of the MV. TVB should put 'Conscience Discovery' as the next recommendations or as one of the next songs to come challenge the music charts on JSG. Then give it 1st place while they're at it, so we can hear a live version of it. roflol.gif I don't know..... TVB is weird sometimes. It seems that they always want to be a little different from everywhere else. For example, within the four major music charts, Eason's song, 最佳損友, got 1st place in all three of them nearly at the same time, but the same song had waddling around on the JSG chart for about two more weeks before it got 1st place on that. blink.gif Another thing that I find they do different is (Okay, don't say that I don't have a life from noticing this little detail, but I noticed it. happy.gif' ) while all magazines, when introducing Twins, go in the order of "Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung", but the TVB magazine is the only one that switches their names and go, "Gillian Chung, Charlene Choi". I don't know why though; looking at the english and chinese language structure, Charlene's name should appear first. Choi obviously appears before Chung in the english alphabet, and in chinese, Choi has 15 strokes while Chung has 17. wacko.gif

Anyway, getting back on topic, I hope 'Conscience Discovery' gets on the other two charts soon since it's only on two of them right now. It's going to be hard to get on the 903 Chart though since that station isn't too fond of EEG artists. It'll probably have to make good results from the other three charts before 903 will be willing to give it some recognition as well. TVB should get KG to do a photoshoot together for the TVB magazine eyebrowes.gif: ; they got Gillian and Daniel to do a photoshoot together for the TVB magazine during the time of Beyond Our Ken. Then maybe they could take "Best Duet Of The Year" from TVB during the next awards ceremony, though I do have a feeling that they'll give it to Kelly Chen and Liza Wang since Liza is Ah Jie of TVB. All the endless possiblities....... wub.gif Hope it actually happens though. Oops, this turned out to be a big long thing again; I was planning to just give a short response. laugh.gif

If the fan hated KG that much, we'd imagine he/she would've complained earlier and not wait about two or three years after they've been paired up for multiple times already? It was a bit after Kenny went solo too, and that already minimizes the chance of KG pairing up again because Kenny is off to Isabella as he is a solo artist. Then to comfort that immature fan, EEG let Charlene star in Kenny's MV and let them have a kiss, which I read that the role was supposed to be Gillian's dry.gif , though I'm not sure of whether it's true or not. It doesn't seem that likely though since there was a kissing scene in there, and we know where Gillian's restrictions are. If it was true, then that hater has just made Gillian lose her chance of tearing her restrictions apart. twisted.gif Anyway, I think EEG probably knows that KG are actually quite suitable for each other since after that threatening thing died down, who is the one dueting with Kenny and filming a MV with him? Gillian. innocent.gif

naughty.gif You're too funny. I know huh? It just makes no sense whatsoever for that fan to rage out at a time when KG weren't even associated together anymore. What about Isabella?..and Ronald? That fan should really do something productive and send those two threat notes for really breaking up the KC pair. lmao.gif Eh! That KC MV was super cute but a duet AND a MV of KG is much more so oh well. harhar.gif

I agree with you that it wouldn't have been suitable for Twins to split earlier, but it seems like they are actually holdbacks for each other at certain times. Songs suitable for Charlene, which are most of the Twins songs, really aren't suitable for Gillian, and songs suitable for Gillian, which are songs that are more upbeat and with rollercoaster strains of the voice, aren't suitable for Charlene. Even movie genres of each don't correspond with each other. I don't know about Charlene, but I can say that Gillian's best films are those without Charlene (nothing against Charlene, but judging from plot). Now I kinda want them to disband too.
It wouldn't neccesarily make one of them the villian because there are times where two are actually good people at heart, but they just don't agree with each other or even work against each other because of their own good reasons. For the love triangle, the male lead sometimes just don't end up with his true love due to little stupid reasons about morals or responsibility, so he chooses the cuter, and most often the 'weaker' one, who he believes to seriously cannot take it if he left her, and he leaves the 'stronger' one, most often the one he really loves, just because 'she'll be able to resist the pain'. dry.gif That kind of plot is sometimes so corny, yet it makes one jerk a lot of tears for the girl who is left alone. That's also where she wins all the points from the audience too. clapping.gif Wait a sec..... speaking of love triangles, I've just noticed that Twins never really had been in a love triangle before, besides their MVs. blink.gif Now that you speak of it, Gillian's' characters are leading in terms of the plot in their previous films, just not in screentime. Maybe that's how the scriptwriters decided to help Gillian out; in no way could they help her out in terms of screentime because it would be obvious, but they can assign her to a character who is important and useful towards the plot of the film. eyebrowes.gif:

I know that singing depends on one's preference but seriously, it can be so biased. Some Sa fans really believe that Sa has the better, more versatile voice. I fell in love with Gillian's voice even before knowing which voice belonged to who so I honestly think, they're being a bit disotrted in their judgment. It's so obvious that Gillian is the more versatile one through an analysis of Gillian's solos and did I mention, LIVE Solos that filter out Sa's voice revealing how wonderful Gillian's voice can become alone. Sa has a strong voice but doesn't always imply better nor more versatile.

Hm, yeah...Gillian's role in that two MV Movie thing of the songs Lady in a Perplex World and Friend's Love (?) blink.gif I believe did portray a love triangle. Gillian ended up with the guy. 1.gif In those MVs, Sa did love him too right? but he loved Gillian? I only watched it once. But the majority of Twins MVs, Gillian is always the one loved and Sa is the one waiting for the love of someone else.

I remember actually looking forward to TTE II because in the news about the filming TTE II, the director complimented that Gillian could really switch her expressions and emotions really well in and out of scenes since she was playing a villian, and also there were articles stating that Gillian was the female lead and Charlene was merely playing a supporting character wacko.gif . Then when I watch it, I find that Blue Bird was not even close to being a villian, she was merely following orders of WeiLiu to find the Star Of Rex and didn't even intend to hurt any of them. As for Charlene being supporting, now I know that being a supporting character doesn't neccesarily reflect on the screentime. I mean, 13th Young Master is a supporting character in the terms of the plot, but her screentime still flooded and stood equally, if not more, with Blue Bird, who is a leading character in the terms of the plot.

Gillian was great in TE II. I think that was when people began taking her acting career seriously. As Gipsy in TE I, she was still sort of cute like the usual Twins' image but in TE II she fully transformed into a mature character surprising the audience. Gillian's role Blue Bird was awesome because her role was extremely mysterious, backstabbing, life threatening, and caught in a dilemma. That is what people look for, a breakthough...yup, that was when I noticed her acting potential at least in a Twins' film because Gillian has always portrayed quite important solo roles.

QUOTE (Little_Purple_Bell @ Mar 11 2006 3 08 AM) *
It seems like Gillian actually likes this role personally this time. In a recent magazine interview, she said she was happy because she can finally portray a tragic role! clapping.gif Gillian revealed that she's been reading the novel itself earlier, so she'd have the understanding of the role before actually filming. blush.gif She said, "Ching Ling So is an apprentice of a medicine master and an orphan. Her senior (Sze Jie) is jealous of her because their master had passed the secret manual of medicine down to her, so she plans to seek revenge on Ching Ling So. During this time, Woo Fei (Nie Yuan) saves her, and Ching Ling So ends up falling in love with him, yet Woo Fei loved another, so this is a role of tragedy!" If Gillian is enjoying the role, then there's no reason for us not to, I guess.

I'm not sure about the dynasty, but I think it should be the Qing dynasty since it does involve QianLun and he's an emperor of the Qing dynasty? But I don't know if that was made up by TVB or not. I kinda want it to be in the Hans time since they just tend to have better wardrobes. During the Qing/ManChu times, all they can have is a braid, or any hairstyle involves a braid, but then Wong Jing doesn't pay that much attention to it. In Duke Of Mt. Deer, it was in Qing Dynasty, but all the wives of Dicky had hairstyles of the Hans Dynasty. None of them did have braids.

To me, I think a girl who works with medicine should kinda appear like a goddess. Maybe I'm just influenced after watching The Herbalist's Manual of how Michelle appeared like a god when she was a medicine girl. Obviously unless they do an extreme makeover on Gillian to make her look ugly to suit the novel, then they can't refer to her as ugly in the series, unless they want some serious criticisms. It also ruins the point to how directors like choosing beauties to be Ching Ling So, or maybe Wong Jing just wants to appear to be different? happy.gif' It could probably be better if they switch to saying that Ching Ling So is a beautiful girl, but Woo Fei still can't accept her because she simply isn't his true love. It could make Woo Fei appear to be less shallow and judgemental about things.

I'm glad that Gillian is enjoying portraying Ching Ling So. So I guess in a way, this role is fulfilling her tragic love request..yay for Gillian. happy.gif' I have been highly anticipating this serial ever since the release of those Gillian pictures wearing that blue thin outfit in her hay like shack with beautiful poisonous flowers. This serial seems highly invested too. I guess, Wong Jing finally gained some senses, insights, and ideas after big hits like Amazing Twins and World's Finest?? So he's fully coordinating this serial even better. Can't wait to watch Gillian cough out blood dying in the arms of Wu Fei, what a tear jerking scene. weeping.gif

Serials these days do tend to integrate dynasties now especially in fashion. I guess, it doesn't really matter which dynasty as long as the wardrobe looks nice. With Gillian's hair in those pictures, it does seem to fall in the dynasty of the Hans. I guess another decent project by Wong Jing was Duke of Mt. Deer. (I never knew he directed that serial.) blink.gif

A medicine girl could either be funky, bubbly, and spoiled like Ah Nu which reminds me of Michelle Reis's medicine girl in one of her old films with Leon Lai (totally forgot the title) or like Michelle's character in Herbalist's Manual. But it does seem like Gillian's Ching Ling So is more of the serious, die-hard romantic, and sacrificial person. Just anything but the annoying comedic Ching Ling So of 1999. I was actually happy when she died? whistle.gif

By the time Sa is finished filming her movie, Gillian will most likely be done with this serial too because everything seems to be moving quickly. Then onto the release of their Mandarin or Cantonese album. By then, Gillian would have already attracted a whole new audience and fans.

Hm, hopefully Wong Jing invites Gillian to sing the theme or subtheme or at least her own personal song to use as background music when Ching Ling So dies or reminisces about Wu Fei. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Nie Yuan had good chemistry towards Ching Ling So *ahem* our Gillian 1.gif , in which isn't supposed to be the case but because Gillian is just too irresistable...sparks could be flying from his side. whistle.gif

Mainly, I didn't like the hairstyles of the male leads in World's Finest. Wallace and Roger's hair just made you think, "Were there curling irons back then?" duh.gif The only hairstyle and wardrobe that looked nice was Michelle's female wardrobe, not her pink cottage girl outfit, but the one she wore near the end and when she died? I think that looked pretty, but of course we didn't get to see much of that. I hope Gillian has a good wardrobe too since she doesn't exactly have to advertise the 'flying fox' part of the show as Nie Yuan and Athena do and splatter a big fox fur thing around their shoulders. happy.gif'

loool.gif Yeah, what is up with that curly hair? It's obviously a Wong Jing fetish. duh.gif

I would've thought that EEG would put Gillian in the corner if Twins had split two or three years ago, but I seriously think differently now. From our earlier discussions, it seems as if EEG does need Gillian as one of those who stand EEG up. It's a fact that EEG needs someone to take turns of grabbing the Best Female Singer Award with Joey. Joey's really pushing it far already with the TVB Award ceremony, she's taken it three times in a row, anymore EEG is going to be trashed for rigging it though Joey is a good singer. EEG craves for the award to be in their pockets, but they will probably have to let it go this year.

I know that EEG, as you've said, has a high ego of themselves of bringing up artists, but how long would it take for them to do that? Mani has already hinted towards the media that because Twins is a group, they are unable to snatch the Best Female Singer Award, but can only settle for Best Group at the most. Twins aren't even able to grab a top ten songs award. EEG doesn't invest much in Twins anymore either. Their MVs are more simple than simple; all their MVs of their recent album were ripped off of their concert; therefore, not even having to film for them. 'Kindergarten' is a very good and meaningful song, but the highest it could even go on the JSG charts was fourth place; it was taken off all the charts completely afterwards. To sum it up, EEG seriously needs one of the Twins to help out because they are well-known, no offense to Isabella or Yumiko, but they're not even worth the mentioning about taking Best Female Singer at the moment anyway. Both Twins in the game would be shooting themselves in the foot though. From our earlier discussions, it's more likely for the singing one to be Gillian, for she hasn't been labelled as a singing person nor an acting person, and Charlene has been recognized as one to act.

As of March 11th, 'Conscience Discovery' is at 16th place on RTHK music chart; it is also 14th place on Metro Radio Music Chart. smile.gif

Twins are too over-exposed, it bores the market and wears out the support of fans. EEG releases a Twins album 3 times a year in which doesn't even allow Twins to fully digest their songs, practice them for good live performances, and obviously, if Twins can't even achieve memorizing and learning their songs...fans probably won't either.

MVs are worsening by the minute; what does EEG spend their budget on. Twins are so wealthy, always ending up at the top of the highest incomes in HK. dry.gif

Yeah, Gillian would most likely begin her solo career in music and Sa in acting...which is nice.

Yay for the duet! Now it's their time to shine! 1.gif

I agree with bluehearts; have you read enough of what we wrote to make that assumption? We all have good reasons to discuss about the biased treatment of EEG towards Gillian; we never bring up anything that's ridiculous to mention, and when we do make a comment on Charlene, we do have reasons and facts to back it up. It's not like we're yelling at Charlene for no reason. In fact, our major discussion here is just about EEG VS Gillian, but the thing is that the biased treatment is in fact between Gillian and Charlene, so sometimes we do have to bring Charlene in about the issue. Another thing, the biased issue isn't the only thing we talk about. We discuss everything that concerns Gillian. ex. music charts, film roles, upcoming events, etc. That is why a thread titled "Gillian Chung" is made; it's for fans to gather and understand more about what's happening with Gillian. I'm sure that's what you would do in the "Charlene Choi" thread. Put yourself in our shoes; think of how you would feel if nearly everything EEG does is geared towards Gillian, and Charlene is always left out? Wouldn't you talk about it with other Charlene fans to see what you can do to support your idol?
I'm pretty sure that there'll be a cantonese version and a mandarin version. Wong Jing series are always like that since it has casts from all over. When they air it in Mainland/Taiwan, then they will dub the cantonese voices into mandarin, and when they air it in HK, they will dub the mandarin voices into cantonese. Sometimes they dub all the voices when they air it in Mainland/Taiwan though, regardless of what language they were originally speaking, but in HK, they'll definitely leave the cantonese voices alone, and deal with the mandarin voices. It's like how Monkey King and Duke Of Mt. Deer was done.

Well said! yeah.gif clapping.gif That should knock some senses into some crazy fans.

There would be two versions of dubbing, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Hmm...I don't think the make-up artist made Gillian less appealing for the role so I guess Gillian would be staying beautiful in this series..lolx..

Pictures really big...

I'm from NYC but I don't think that's the case...I know people who isn't really fans of Twins but they like Gillian better anyways..so I could assume that Gillian is more popular in NYC?? It's really funny how you believe that Gillian is overrated when actually Charlene is the more promoted one which makes her more overrated by AT LEAST EEG..(shouldn't make any assumptions about the audiences..lolx)

Thanks for the pictures. Gillian looks lovely. infatuated.gif

Haha. Great remark. That does make Sa way overrated due to all the heavy promotions yet Sa hasn't elevated any higher than Gillian.

Anyways...

Whether or not singing is good definitely can be biased. It's just if you've already developed a likeness for a certain artist, you would most likely defend that he/she is better at singing than another. I fell in love with Gillian's singing after listening to each Twin sing a solo song live, and that was when I didn't like either one of them more than the other; in fact, I knew about Charlene more back then since she was in so many movies. No offense or anything, I can truthfully say that Charlene's voice is a stable one, but it isn't anywhere close to being versatile. Her voice sounds nearly the same in all her songs. I've also noticed that Charlene's voice can only be considered to be strong when singing songs that stay on similar notes; during the 2006 Concert, it felt like her voice was on the verge of cracking when she was singing her solos, especially when singing Love Is The Biggest Right. Charlene's performance was better during Twins songs. Ironically, Gillian's best part was during her solo. happy.gif' It was actually the part that left most 'mature' impression through the concert in my opinion. It was quite funny of watching the part of the concert after Gillian's solo and she said, "Let's give a round of cheering to welcome Ah Sa!" and she was being lowered down off the stage. The audience was cheering alright, but they were still screaming, "Giu!" until Gillian was out of sight. loool.gif You could only catch that when watching the VCD; the CD wiped most of the cheering out.

Wasn't the guy, William, two timing Charlene and Gillian in the MV? He was Gillian's boyfriend first, but he went with Charlene behind Gillian's back, so the two friends got onto bad terms? Gillian confronted him, and for some point, he chose Charlene, but then he got some disease thing, and when he woke up, he was hugging Gillian, and Charlene left at the door. unsure.gif Yeah, it was only in Starlight Amusement Park was Charlene the one being loved and Gillian was the one with the jealousy.

Sometimes it's such a bad thing to be beautiful in the acting industry. Everyone just automatically stereotypes that a beauty can't act, and they never look into deep enough to discover one's acting skills. I think Blue Bird was the turning point of Gillian's acting career. See? It's not until the girl gets down with her hands and skills that people finally do some acknowledging. I liked the fighting scene between Blue Bird and 13th Young Master, but not the one between Gypsy and Helen. The one with Gypsy and Helen was pretty much pointless and even childish if I must say. There's actually a reason for Blue Bird and 13th Young Master to be fighting; it also builds Blue Bird's character. We see her as a cold Imperial Enforcer at first, but even though 13th Young Master had been annoying and picking a fight with her over dumbbells, Blue Bird still saved her from Fan Bing Bing's character when she was going shoot her dagger at 13th Young Master.

It's a weird thing. Have you ever wondered why Gillian's solo movies never affect what people think of Twins, yet Charlene's solo movies have a huge impact on people's impressions of Twins as a whole? Whether results are positive or negative, it's like that. unsure.gif It's just like how it was with A Chinese Tall Story. When it made a flop, people would claim that the movies nowadays are failing because they're depending on talentless idols like Twins when Gillian was nowhere in that particular movie. Nothing affected Twins when Happy Go Lucky made a flop. Perhaps people understood that the flop had nothing to do with the plot nor the cast, but just the taste of HK? Same goes with the positive results. Gillian makes a great hit on with Beyond Our Ken/49 Days; the recognition is hers to take, which is reasonable, but when Charlene has various films, the directors of those films suddenly come out to voicing that Twins have great potential? happy.gif'

I think Michele Reis' role with Leon Lai was also Ching Ling So in fact. Theirs was a movie version though, but I'm quite sure that Michele played Ching Ling So. Another beautiful girl playing the role. I've noticed that medicine girls are always so nice and willing to sacrifice. I guess hence their liking of studying medicines to save people, huh?

Uh huh, the role of Ching Ling So doesn't seem like it'll take as long as we thought it would. Athena said that she's only staying there to film for about two months, and Gillian has a way smaller role than her, so I'm guesing it'll take her this month of March to film, at the most the beginning of April. Gillian is taking breaks and still attending functions during the filming time, so no worries for the exposure part. The mandarin album of Twins is coming out during April - May, so they'll definitely need Gillian there for the album. I hope this series will be a fast filming, fast airing type of series. Also don't forget that these series get re-aired multiple times in various areas of Mainland, so plenty of exposure for Gillian!!

Despite Wong Jing's bad reputation of producing films, he actually is really nice towards Gillian. From looks of things, I think he did give Gillian a good role this time, seeing that Gillian likes this role, and it'd be nice if Gillian can sing the themesong/sub songs. Wong Jing's series usually do get one of the cast to sing the themesong, usually there's always a singer within his cast, so he always chooses the singer to do it. Like Wallace did the World's Finest theme, Dicky did the Duke Of Mt. Deer/Monkey King, etc. I hope it's Gillian for this one because I don't think anyone else sings within the cast? A nice solo to promote Gillian's singing to the Mainland audience, sounds like a great plan to me. infatuated.gif It would be highly possible if Gillian really is going towards more singing in the future.

The bad thing is EEG always releases a 2nd/3rd version of Twins' albums. Do they really think fans are made of money? There was a conference with fans in Mainalnd with Gillian and Nicholas once, and there was a game where fans were humming tunes of Twins songs to Gillian while she had to guess what they were. She got all the hit songs correct, but there were some songs given that Twins have never performed or never got popular, and even Gillian couldn't recognize them. Nicholas then explained that sometimes even the singers themselves don't know every song of their own.

EEG is sure slacking off on Twins lately. Their MVs rarely have a little storyline along with it. It's usually just Twins standing or sitting here and there and singing the lyrics. The other EEG artists' MVs are quite good though. Kenny's MV for Cleverness with Isabella as a guest star was nice. It had an individual storyline with it, and it allowed Kenny and Isabella to try out their acting with that harsh scene of them yelling and hitting each other. It was a nice MV to watch. Kenny and Gillian's Conscience Discovery MV was nice too; it was a high budget one because they actually had to ask for a sponsor of the nice houses to film the MV in and it had a plot with it. We never see any good quality MVs with Twins anymore. I'm not too sure about Twins' upcoming album; they revealed that it's a 'happy' album. I'm kinda afraid that would happy mean childish as well? unsure.gif I was hoping that they would sing more mature songs. A good thing about it is Gillian said that she and Charlene were each allowed to choose one song of their choice to enter into their album. That's one step closer to choosing the right songs for themselves.

Whether or not singing is good definitely can be biased. It's just if you've already developed a likeness for a certain artist, you would most likely defend that he/she is better at singing than another. I fell in love with Gillian's singing after listening to each Twin sing a solo song live, and that was when I didn't like either one of them more than the other; in fact, I knew about Charlene more back then since she was in so many movies. No offense or anything, I can truthfully say that Charlene's voice is a stable one, but it isn't anywhere close to being versatile. Her voice sounds nearly the same in all her songs. I've also noticed that Charlene's voice can only be considered to be strong when singing songs that stay on similar notes; during the 2006 Concert, it felt like her voice was on the verge of cracking when she was singing her solos, especially when singing Love Is The Biggest Right. Charlene's performance was better during Twins songs. Ironically, Gillian's best part was during her solo. It was actually the part that left most 'mature' impression through the concert in my opinion. It was quite funny of watching the part of the concert after Gillian's solo and she said, "Let's give a round of cheering to welcome Ah Sa!" and she was being lowered down off the stage. The audience was cheering alright, but they were still screaming, "Giu!" until Gillian was out of sight. You could only catch that when watching the VCD; the CD wiped most of the cheering out.

I have to agree that Charlene's voice is more stable...I think that's why a lot of fans claim her voice is better because it's stable throughout the songs...I started liking Gillian when I was listening to their old song "Eyes Red Red" (?) and I just loved Gillian's voice there so much. I notice how Gillian adjusts her voices for certain songs and I think it compliments the song better while Charlene doesn't do that for the songs. Her voices stays the same for their songs.

Wasn't the guy, William, two timing Charlene and Gillian in the MV? He was Gillian's boyfriend first, but he went with Charlene behind Gillian's back, so the two friends got onto bad terms? Gillian confronted him, and for some point, he chose Charlene, but then he got some disease thing, and when he woke up, he was hugging Gillian, and Charlene left at the door. unsure.gif Yeah, it was only in Starlight Amusement Park was Charlene the one being loved and Gillian was the one with the jealousy.

hmm...I thought he was two-timing Gillian because he knew he was sick so he lied to her?? Actually I wasn't quite sure since the MV was a little confusing to me...but one thing for sure was that he never really show any affection towards Charlene even when they were alone??

In "Starlight Amusement Park" I think Gillian wasn't interested in the guy..I think she was jealous that Charlene, her best friend, was paying more attention towards the guy then her loool.gif I love the part where Gillian came behind him and pushed him down the to the floor in the playground though...so hilarious!!

Despite Wong Jing's bad reputation of producing films, he actually is really nice towards Gillian. From looks of things, I think he did give Gillian a good role this time, seeing that Gillian likes this role, and it'd be nice if Gillian can sing the themesong/sub songs. Wong Jing's series usually do get one of the cast to sing the themesong, usually there's always a singer within his cast, so he always chooses the singer to do it. Like Wallace did the World's Finest theme, Dicky did the Duke Of Mt. Deer/Monkey King, etc. I hope it's Gillian for this one because I don't think anyone else sings within the cast? A nice solo to promote Gillian's singing to the Mainland audience, sounds like a great plan to me. infatuated.gif It would be highly possible if Gillian really is going towards more singing in the future.


I was thinking about this today either yesterday night or today in the morning about Gillian singing a themesong/subsong for this series, but isnt Athena Chu a singer too? I dont remember exactly, but if she is, then theres a chance that shes going to sing the themesong too. And from the people that you pointed out, it seems like the people who sang the themesongs were main characters, would Gillians character still be considered as a main character? I never saw or read this book/series so I dont know.

I heard that they were going to have more fast songs in this cd, so it seems like its going to Gillians benefit, seeing how she well she sang the fast songs in the concert, lets hope they make it to where Gillian can show off her talent, instead of making it fast but much more benefited for Charlenes voice. I also read in a news that they are going to practice more for their dances, which not to be mean or anything, I think they do need to practice more on, since if you see most of their performances, theyre pretty off from each other and the background dancers. But they're earlier performances like Two People World Cup and Slam Dunk Love they were much more in sync with each other, so ya, I hope that if they do go back to Japan to practice their dancing, that they get more time to practice, unlike the 5 or so days that they had before.

Oh.... that's a better interpretation of the MVs. smile.gif We know for sure that both Gillian and Charlene love William, but William didn't seem to be in love with Charlene when they were alone. He took Charlene's side in the convenience store though, but Gillian was there. Hmm.... I think I'd like to take the MV as you've explained it! Hehe, Gillian was so cute in Starlight Amusement Park! It's one of those moments where we get to see Gillian act like a little girl with jealousy since she's usually the more mature one.

I'm not sure if Athena is a singer or not, but I have a vague memory that she does have a few songs? Gillian's character is considered a main character, just not a very main character. Her character's the most favourable, not too much on screentime, but does leave big impressions on the audience from the past roles of Ching Ling So being portrayed, so directors do take this role seriously. If Athena does sing, then I'd want her to sing the themesong and Gillian to sing one or two sub songs since the themesong usually has a lot of action and main plot related content in it while sub songs are usually big tear jerkers that revolve around the side stories such as the romance.

If the fast songs are songs that have meaningful content in it like the ones that Gillian sang at the concert, then Gillian does have the chance to show off her talent, but if it's the kind of fast songs that are like the early Twins songs, then it would be to Charlene's benefit instead. Like I've said before, I don't exactly want their 'happy-themed' songs to appear to be childish. Twins' schedules are just so tight that they never get any time to practice, and EEG are just never considerate towards this fact. Another thing, why does Gillian always dance better without Charlene as well? happy.gif' Her solo performance of dancing was great and on beat with her background dancers, but when she started dancing with Charlene with the medley of songs, they just weren't in sync. I couldn't even find the problem either. Gillian appeared to be dancing slower than Charlene, yet when I compare Gillian with the background dancers, she wasn't off with them either. She was at the same speed. unsure.gif

The file is 78 MB so I didn't upload it to YSI OR RS because normally people don't download it anyways but if you want the file PM me so I can upload it. And I will only be sending the files to people I know because I would hate to see these clips be associated with anyone else other than Edison and Gillian. There are some Pro Sa Anti Gillian fans entering this thread back and forth I can never monitor so it's safer for me to send the files personally rather than posting them on here because dang it, these files were difficult and I didn't watermark my files either and have experienced stolen clips/pictures before because I trust people to be courteous but turned out the opposite but I didn't watermark this MV because it'll look kinky. I had to scan all of my movies, capture them on my camera, convert them to mpeg, trim/cut them to the correct scenes, and then combine and that was a lot of work. I know, I'm strict but oh well. If you guys wanted to use any of these clips to create your own...I'm more than happy to send them to you. ENJOY!

The bad thing is EEG always releases a 2nd/3rd version of Twins' albums. Do they really think fans are made of money? There was a conference with fans in Mainalnd with Gillian and Nicholas once, and there was a game where fans were humming tunes of Twins songs to Gillian while she had to guess what they were. She got all the hit songs correct, but there were some songs given that Twins have never performed or never got popular, and even Gillian couldn't recognize them. Nicholas then explained that sometimes even the singers themselves don't know every song of their own.

EEG is sure slacking off on Twins lately. Their MVs rarely have a little storyline along with it. It's usually just Twins standing or sitting here and there and singing the lyrics. The other EEG artists' MVs are quite good though. Kenny's MV for Cleverness with Isabella as a guest star was nice.

I agree...those 2nd/3rd version are really riping the fans off. I mean their second version of 'The missing piece' was like out a month after the original one, and the third...around 2 months later.
btw I've just read a piece of news on the news section that Gillian and Charlene have only spent half a month recording the Mandarin album, which is quite rushed in my opinion. EEG should seriously give them more time to focus on their cd recordings, since they are singers afterall...
Anyways I just hope their upcoming Mandarin album will do as good or even better than their first one (even though they didn't have much time time to record it, but hopefully it will include high quality songs...and not those typical K songs)

I think Athena is one of those actress-turn-singers, I remember she had an album out last year or something and I've heard her sing in a show as well. And to be honest her singing isn't that great...
But I won't mind if Wong Jing choose her to sing the themesong, since she's more of a main-character than Gill. Or maybe Wong Jing will do the same as what he did in 'Amazing Twins', like just choose a random song
of one of the main cast; which in this case was Nicholas, instead of recording a whole new one for the series.
(For those who haven't seen that series, the Mandarin version of 'Huang' was the themesong.

I don't think Kenny and Gillian did film anything for the TVB magazine's ad/commercial. If they did film anything, seeing the efficiency of HK fans, they would've taped and shared it online already. I'm not even sure whether 'Conscience Discovery' was used for an ad or a commercial because unfortunately, the phrase for an ad and a commercial are both "gwong go" in chinese, so I'm not sure which of those did the fan mean. If it's a commerical, then they could just be playing 'Conscience Discovery' in the background while the screen shows what the TVB magazine is featuring for the upcoming issue. If it's an ad, it could very well just be recommending the song on a random page to people who buy the TVB magazine.

But if TVB is using 'Conscience Discovery' in either way, then I'd say we should get a TVB version of the MV. TVB should put 'Conscience Discovery' as the next recommendations or as one of the next songs to come challenge the music charts on JSG. Then give it 1st place while they're at it, so we can hear a live version of it. roflol.gif I don't know..... TVB is weird sometimes. It seems that they always want to be a little different from everywhere else. For example, within the four major music charts, Eason's song, 最佳損友, got 1st place in all three of them nearly at the same time, but the same song had waddling around on the JSG chart for about two more weeks before it got 1st place on that. blink.gif Another thing that I find they do different is (Okay, don't say that I don't have a life from noticing this little detail, but I noticed it. happy.gif' ) while all magazines, when introducing Twins, go in the order of "Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung", but the TVB magazine is the only one that switches their names and go, "Gillian Chung, Charlene Choi". I don't know why though; looking at the english and chinese language structure, Charlene's name should appear first. Choi obviously appears before Chung in the english alphabet, and in chinese, Choi has 15 strokes while Chung has 17. wacko.gif

Anyway, getting back on topic, I hope 'Conscience Discovery' gets on the other two charts soon since it's only on two of them right now. It's going to be hard to get on the 903 Chart though since that station isn't too fond of EEG artists. It'll probably have to make good results from the other three charts before 903 will be willing to give it some recognition as well. TVB should get KG to do a photoshoot together for the TVB magazine eyebrowes.gif: ; they got Gillian and Daniel to do a photoshoot together for the TVB magazine during the time of Beyond Our Ken. Then maybe they could take "Best Duet Of The Year" from TVB during the next awards ceremony, though I do have a feeling that they'll give it to Kelly Chen and Liza Wang since Liza is Ah Jie of TVB. All the endless possiblities....... wub.gif Hope it actually happens though. Oops, this turned out to be a big long thing again; I was planning to just give a short response. laugh.gif


Well TVB should make their own verison if they want to use it for anything! cool.gif
