It's actually pretty good that Gillian gets attend functions alone and perform alone too.

I hope she sings a different song from "Hover Bird" and "Starlight Amusement Park", so that we'll have another Gillian solo version of another Twins song.

I do hope that EEG does intend to keep Gillian in the singing area. Maybe EEG is making progress on that, but just slow on it along with everything else that's Gillian-related?

You know what I think? EEG probably just needs to find themselves excuses to start promoting Gillian. Many people do need excuses to decept themselves for a motivation to start doing something that they don't exactly want to. EEG obviously favours and wants to promote Charlene more, yet they can't lie to themselves to say that Gillian is talentless and fanless, can they? So they just have to tell themselves that Charlene has a big filming load, so she shouldn't be running around to attend singing functions/ceremonies, so let's just let Gillian go alone, okay?

Then while Gillian is there, she'll sing solo and see how people accept that? The result is no one has any complaints, comments are given that Gillian sang really well, and the cheering was crazy. Just listen to how long people were screaming, "Gillian!" at the end of "Hover Bird".

I can't wait until this music award. Um, is it confirmed that Gillian will be performing solo as well?...most music awards, Twins do return home with awards so hopefully she does.
I guess you are right about EEG. And what is so ironic about everything is: the more EEG restricts Gillian or tries to overshadow Gillian with more promotions invested towards Sa, those bias actions are actually all the right moves or should I say, Gillian always manages to lead no matter what.

I guess, people just overall adore Gillian!
Have you guys ever heard fans scream "Twins"

publically?? I've only heard fans scream Ah Gui or Ah Sa but often never "Twins" but I do hear fans screaming Ah Gui more too during functions.

I think Gillian does have some action scenes, just not a lot; she'll mostly be working with poison in the series? It is a martial arts series, and isn't Miu Yeurk Lan the only girl in there who doesn't know martial arts? Either way, I don't understand why she has a double either. Gillian has refused to use a double while filming House Of Fury, and the actions in there were probably 10X harder than the ones in this series.

Perhaps, the wires are much more difficult to handle in an ancient serial. HOF was filmed in the city with a lot of wire support but the wires in ancient serials require a lot of flying, flipping, and turning with less flexibility. I mean, the ancient era is full of nature with really no guarantees of safety while HOF was modern citylike that had more poles and cushion etc. to catch Gillian if she was to fall or have a NG.

Yeah, but Twin Of Brothers was made at the time of when Ron was just starting to get popular from Triumph in the Skies, so it's not surprising to see Raymond leading over Ron back then since Raymond still had a good position in TVB. Nowadays, I swear if Ron and Raymond were to co-star in another series, the first leading man would definitely be Ron. TVB loves Ron because all those little girls and housewives love him. Raymond is stuck with all those second male lead roles now. I think he got demoted even further down to third male lead in the one he's filming now, but it's true that he has more talents. I can't believe Ron released a CD before Raymond either. To sum it up, why is it that the outgoing one always takes the spotlight from the more mild one? Is that some kind of principle of human nature or something?

Well, this is my personal opinion but I think Raymond has been receiving supporting roles lately is because TVB has been mixing him with much older and more experienced stars versus Ron where he hasn't really starred in a serial with the lead leads of TVB yet. Hm, I haven't been catching up on Ray recently but it's obvious that TVB does play favorites too. I too cannot believe that Ron released an album before Ray when Ron cannot sing period.
As for the outgoing ones...I think that only pertains to HK because elsewhere?...they become annoying instantly after a few times. A lot of international stars are usually the mysteriously silent ones that intrigue the audience with just about any role.

Uh huh, even though Gillian likes to act more, I think she can develop in either one of those industries, but apparently EEG has 'reserved' the ticket to the acting industry for Charlene, so singing's just as good for Gillian. She has performed alone, and there were no revolutions against it, were there? It shows that people can accept Gillian being on stage performing alone. I just hope what we're thinking really is going to happen. The last thing we'd want is for EEG to make up some evil plan of letting Charlene develop on films while they get Gillian to keep the singing area of Twins going, but when Charlene gets her part done in the acting industry, they put Gillian back on hold while Charlene comes out to sing more. *touchwood*
That could likely be the case too, something I'm most afraid might happen but at least we're doing our parts in showing our support by rallying online Gillian Fans to understand a lot of the misperceived issues revolving around the bias treatment.

Does anyone else think that Raymond and Nie Yuan have a bit of resemblance with each other on the looks? Because I looked at a photo of Nie Yuan on his blog wearing modern clothes, and for a split second, I thought he looked like Raymond.

Really? Hm, I see no resemblance but both have this courageous, heroic, and fearless aroma to them which is so appealing.

I do hope she sings Kindergarten!

It's such a nice song with high notes! Oh, I hope she does! I hope it's not too hard on Gillian to be rushing around to two places with a tight schedule. I highly doubt that Gillian doesn't have any movie offers, but we know how EEG is, so let's not be surprised. The director of BOK has once said that Gillian actually does have a lot of potential with acting, yet within most Twins movies, her quiet and calm characters are just frequently shadowed off by Charlene's usual jolly and outspoken characters and also because everything is always focused on Charlene. <-- Quoted from Director Pang, not me. It's funny because he said that he used to hate watching girls cry, but amazingly he just loves to watch Gillian cry because she can cry so beautifully.

I believe it would most likely be Kindergarten since that was the most popular song in their album, The Missing Piece.
Director Pang is so blunt.

The award ceremony is going to be in mando right?
Most likely in Mando since it'll be in Mainland and plus even Cantonese interviews these days, Twins have only been responding in Mandarin.

While filming actors usually have doubles even if they aren't really doing action scenes. I'm not sure why exactly, but it's for back shots. Sometimes they have days where they get the doubles and film their backs!
Yeah. I guess that is what Nie Yuan meant when he stated that he had to film solo scenes so I guess the fake Ching Ling So had to substitute Gillian in some minor scenes that don't show her face.
Oh, about the KG MV, my usual computer in which I work on is dead. I don't know why but it shut down on me then now it's in safe mode and won't get out which misconfigures all of my settings including color so I guess the KG MV has been delayed again; sorry.
WHOA!

I thought we were on page 29 and all of a sudden back to page 28?? WTH?? 30+ Posts got erased??!!!
