Somethings wrong with TVB...I mean I'm hoping that Conscience Discovery get's on #1 on the JSG Chart list.. and even though it's on number 7 now it's airing it on Global Rythme basically everyday. It's airing right now..

And on the 25th HK Film award that was critizing Gillian's dress...gotta admit that the dress wasn't too nice

I support you Alexa! There is no restriction to this thread unless you are spamming or actively hating on the idol, any AF member should be welcome. It is your opinion, and pther people can take it or leave it.

I'm sure a lot of Charlene and 'Twins' fans come in here because this forum is the most active 'Twins' thread even though it's supposely Gillian's thread. Perhaps because Gillian fans are so passionate about supporting her that it makes the thread interesting and eyecatching.

However, I do find the comparisons between Gillian and Charlene interesting. It's just mere discussion and viewpoints. Something to read about if you have time. Don't take it to heart. Since this is a Gillian thread, of course there are more comments that favor Gill over other female idols. It's like that for other idol threads too, you won't go into a Joey Yung Thread, and praise how much Miriam Yeung is better.....unless you dislike Joey.

About Conscious Discovery, personally I like Alex and Stephy's duet more when I listen to it the first time, but Kenny and Gill's duet is not bad. It's just that Kenny and Gillian's duets usually need to be listen to more than once to get used too, at least for me. Like the TVB themesong, I thought their duet sounds a little bit weird when I first listen to it, but after listening to it for a while, I ended up liking it and putting it on repeat. Maybe that is the same with Conscious Discovery.

^I agree with you, and thank you!

I am done talking about what I was talking about before, I didn't mean to stir up trouble. I apologise

And hmm, were they criticising Gillian's dress choice? I do agree that the dress was bad, it made her look like she had no shape at all and we all know Gill has a nice shape. But from the shoulders up she looks absolutely gorgeous! Even with that weird hair

As for CD, I hope it goes high on the charts too. I *personally* don't like the duet all that much,something about it is just a bit "off" to me, but I still would like to see Gill do well! I wish they released a full version of Legend of Love cause I liked that duet a lot more.

Half of the things we laugh about and discuss here are sarcasms so please don't take anything that seriously or to the heart because as much as we are Gillian Fans, of course, we acknowledge Twins as a pair. Just because we mainly share opinions on this thread doesn't mean we own it so of course, you're always welcomed and you're not going to be shunned away or ignored for mentioning a matter that bothers you. I apologize if some discussions here have made you uncomfortable and frustrated. But please do understand too that Sa does impact Gillian directly and at times, her actions also make Gillian uncomfortable and malaise so that's why we as Gillian supporters feel a discussion is necessary to elaborate upon, very similar to how you feel you need to make reference to some of the uneasy chats that don't justify Sa.


I have to agree on that. Alex and Stephy's duet somehow flows better as their voices synchronize together beautifully. The first time I listened to Conscious Discovery, I wasn't quite intriqued by it but as I continued to listen to it more than twice, the song grew on me and by the time I realized, it was the only song playing all day on my mp3 player. The song has a deep attraction; once it captivates you, the song then begins to unravel its beauty. '

Eh, who cares about that horrible dress and hair anyways. The only part Gillian participated in was walking down the stairs to light the torch for less than 2 mins so don't see why people have to be so critical about that.

Gillian does appear meatier than usual in that dress but hm, cameras always add 10+ pounds to your figure anyways and plus Gillian isn't photogenic, she looks way better on videos. Chubby? Any girl regardless of their height, if they weigh more than 105, they're considered overweight, geesh, what a healthy crowd eh?

Darn, I always do this...I loved the live performance of "Thank You For the Breakup" not "Thank You For Your Love", I always mix and match the song names.

Woah, it's just been a day since I've last replied, and it seems like A LOT has been happening.

Alexa, I respect you for trying to keep things fair between Charlene and Gillian, at least among the fans; the problem is that it's very difficult to do so. As jadedreams27 said, with this being Gillian's personal thread, most comments will be geared towards Gillian's favour, unless it's a hater coming in to stir things up. The thing is we never did and never will throw any barbaric insults at Charlene for anything, but comparisons cannot be avoided since they are in the same group and usually perform together. asillysaint has already mentioned that when we say something, we have proof with it. I'm sure everyone in this thread will be capable to keep most negative comments to a minimum, but we won't stop our discussions about anything that concerns Gillian, which includes Charlene's actions and behaviours. At last, it would be nice if you decided to stay with us in this thread; anyone is welcome in here unless he/she is here for causing deliberate chaos.



Well, EEG is so unpredictable with their managements, so I'm not too sure about the switching of careers. EEG gives me a feeling of if they want something to be that way, it has to be that way. A good piece of proof is how they've been edging so much towards Charlene for everything while Gillian is the more popular one. Could it be that since Twins are techniquely two artistes, therefore they are able to have two areas of their careers? It's like how the old Boy'Z were able to do both as well, though not much success and workload, but they did both, but most of their solo artistes had only one mainstream of their career, except that Nic kinda blew it himself or he would've had both as well.

Anyway, the rule is if EEG will invest in you, they will. It's like the case with Kenny; Oncoming wasn't that successful and it had to rely on many extra things such as MVs with Ella and Charlene and postcards of Charlene were given as souvenirs if you buy the CD. EEG kept their faith in him and kept investing. It wasn't until MusicK that they've finally produced a more original CD which is really only a CD with features that are based more on the quality of songs than on the souvenirs, despite the complicated packaging; it got him third place in the best selling male newcomers.

Yeah, especially after I found out that 'Delusional' has actually completed its filming already, and Charlene's actually back in HK already. ' Despite that Gillian's filming in Mainland while Charlene's filming in Thailand, Charlene actually has more free time on her hands than Gillian while filming since filming a series is more tight-scheduled.

I have a feeling that Gillian has a good amount of screentime in Flying Fox Of The Snowy Mountain out of the three female leads since she's been there filming for a bit of time and *Spoilers* Athena's character of Yuen ZiYi actually dies off on episode 31 out of 40 episodes due to an accident caused by Ady An's Miu Yeurk Lan, according to an Athena fan. The last of the episodes will most likely focus with Wu Fei and Miu Yeurk Lan and to tie up the loose ends. The older Miu Yeurk Lan doesn't have as much screentime as the younger one though. I wonder which episode Ching Ling So dies in? It seems like all the news and advertisements are based on Gillian and her character, Ching Ling So. '

I hope TVB buys this series, and then airs it, then the household audience of HK could see how Gillian does. Then if this series can pull off a decent rating, maybe Gillian can grab an award for it . I doubt it though, even if they do buy it, the time slot probably wouldn't be the best and TVB has too much of their own artistes to comfort with awards to get over to Gillian.

I think they do have a plan of the mandarin market, seeing of how all the solo performances that Gillian has done were of mandarin songs. I think Gillian must prove herself with some cantonese albums being successful before a debut mandarin album though. Even Twins had to wait for years before expanding out of HK.


That's exactly how my first impressions were for the two duets! When I first heard Conscience Discovery, I just thought it was a decent song, and noticed how Gillian has got a different way of projecting her voice when singing with someone other than Charlene, but I really liked Very Love by Alex and Stephy right when I heard it. The scenery then changes. Since I really liked Very Love, I kept listening to it, and I ended getting bored of it after a few days. On the other hand, I listened to Conscience Discovery for a few times afterwards, and I started getting so obsessed with it, putting it on repeat for practically the whole day. I still am obsessed with it, and I've been listening to it since December. I feel that Very Love has lyrics that are more meaningful though. For me, Very Love clung on very quickly, but it also came off very quickly as well, and Conscience Discovery takes a bit to catch on, but it stays on for quite a bit of time. I didn't like The Legend Of Love themesong that much; the beginning was nice, but it seemed kind of messy towards the middle. The music was very ancient.... ish, but again that song was also a bit addictive too. I remember putting it on repeat as well, just not for a very long time like for Conscience Discovery. I still want to know how the rest of the song is like.

I'm staying. I have considered what you guys have said and it makes sense, and I am glad that we can see eachothers points and respect one another. I have decided I just won't participate in discussions that make me uncomfortable and won't badger you all about it either, unless I feel the comment was delibrately malicious, then I might lash out as most idol fans would in defense, but I really don't see that happening all that much anyway and certaintly not by the members I respect here. So I apologise for stirring up trouble and I'll try to keep your point of view in mind when reading through this thread

Does anyone know when the Mandarin album is going to be out? Seems like Gillian's mandarin has improved from the live solo's she has done, but since I don't actually know mandarin I don't know if that is the case. She just seems more at ease speaking and singing it now compared to a year ago when I watch her more recent videos.

So far Twins haven't been in much news or magazines in 2006. Since Gillie is done filming in mainland now and Char done in Thailand (right? Both of them have wrapped up filming?) I guess they must be working on the album. I hope EEG really focuses on the quality of the music during this album. I liked their first mando album but I reallllyyyyy hope that there are more original songs! And I hope that the MV's are as good as the ones in the first mando album. Even though some were seem as copies, I thought the quality, presentation, and direction of those MV's were better than most of MV's for the past few cantonese album. I don't know why but I generally find myself liking music video's from Taiwan's more than MV's from HK. They seem more artistic and more thought out, while a lot of HK mv's seems like they were rushed while filming and not a lot of thought went into the making of the MV's, especially TVB ones.

Oh yeah, and in that ice tea commercial, was that song by Twins??? I liked it =D

I'm glad we've sorted this out . We'll be sure to make it so that you won't have to come out to defend because we'll keep all our discussions constructive and reasonable.


I think Gillian appears to look more confident when speaking mandarin than at earlier times as well; she expressed it's because of filming 'Flying Fox Of The Snowy Mountain' since she frequently has to speak mandarin within the crew and outside of filming and therefore, the improvement, but her lines in the series are spoken in cantonese.


Well, Charlene's done filming in Thailand, but Gillian isn't quite done in Mainland just yet; Charlene's back to filming for Rob-B-Hood in HK. It shouldn't be too long before Gillian's done with her filming since it was said that the latest that Gillian's filming time will go is to mid-April, and most of the filming that's gotta be done for the series is basically Ady An's scenes, so Gillian's quite close to being done.

I think the quality of this mandarin album should be pretty decent because they've spent months on its production throughout. They've expressed that the album will consist of all new and original songs but one remake of a cantonese song of theirs in mandarin. I'm guessing they'll wait for Gillian to wrap up her filming, and then do some touch ups on their album, and then it'll be released in May. Twins haven't had very nice MVs for a long time, especially those ones for The Missing Piece, for they were just rips from their concert. EEG's really slacking off on Twins nowadays. And yes, that song from the commerical is sang by Twins; it's called Lau Gam Yiu Bai.

the character Ching Ling So in the series 'Flying Fox Of The Snowy Mountain' , is she die in the middle of the series or the first part ?

u think Conscience Discovery would be in the mandarin album in mandarin version? I love that song.

Hahah Okay... honestly, I find some of the post ridiculous. Especially those who blame the "bad live singing" on Charlene... saying her voice is loud. First of all, you got to realize, it's a concert, thousands of fans are screaming, it common sense to sing loud... that doesn't mean that Charlene is trying to mask Gillian. Gillian is quiet during interview; Charlene is loud... why does it surprise you that the concert isn't the same?
I didn't come here to argue actually.... Just came here to see what Gillian has been up to, but like Alexa... I couldn't help it but feel offended and peeved.
I find it quite odd also that I see most of you guys... in the Charlene forum DEFENDING Gillian and stating that no one bashes Charlene in the Gillian yet when I come here... those who said it doesn't exist is actually the one creating it. To tell the truth... BOTH Gillian and Charlene sucks at singing... with or without Charlene... Gillian still isnt great... and the one who stated above that she's 99.9 percent like the CD... I disagree, more like 40 percent. Another thing I dont understand... instead of b*t*hing at Charlene is singing too loud... why can't it be the other way and b*t*h at Gillian for singing too low? Honestly... I find the accusation upon Charlene flaw are quite bias and hypocrite. Sorry if I offended anyone but I find many of these post really offensive.

yeah..i agree somehow..especially the part whereby you said that the both of them arent good singer, i think they are more to the side on idols than talented singers like andy lau etc.


Hmmmm, wondering when would gillian take up a role like she did in the Jing wu jia ting, i thought that was nice cause she look really nice in it with all the moves and the storyline was not bad as compared to those normal-boring type hk produce nowadays,and a plus point with actors such as daniel wu...heehee...
>< it would be cool if charlene was to act with gillian again, since it has been quite sometimes that they collaberate together to film another movie...heehee...i want those kung-fu type, maybe this time they can be logger-heads or something? That would be fun~

Wheee

respect other people's opinions. no swearing or vulgarities too anyway.

yup i agree with devilgrins. swearing only sour ties and i am only too glad to tell you that u are stiring up trouble here by swearing and also harshly criticising the people of this thread. If u have opinions about us or gillian, you can freely post it here. Not that we don't want to accept opinions from other people, but PLEASE use better language.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEow5j0u0Vs

Is it their new mandarin song?

eh cool!

Hahahah.... it's quite funny actually... my "swearing" weren't even to cuss anyone out but just an expression. If Gillian fan get offended just because of that... how can you expect Charlene fan not to get offended of what Gillian post? Calling Charlene a spotlight hog and such is a form of cristising also, you know that right?
I myself is a Twins fan. and quite frankly... Charlene and Gillian war has been going on for the longest time that Twins fan dont even categorize themselves as Twins anymore. (Including myself)... Even when enterting Twins community, which is suppoedly the home of Twins fans... you see them fighting. I think this is the reason that being a Twins fan or Gillian/Charlene fan is so stressful. Not only do we have to defend Twins from Twins hater, but also defend them from each other. As much as I tried to stay out of it (since I prefer Charlene more) It's really bothersome to hear such comment about her... especially those who claim that Charlene thread always disses Gillian.

yep, heard tt in charlene thread, tt this movie will star both gill and sa! but the stephen part i didn't really know! lols!




what? tt's just ridiculous! haiz.. tt means tt we wun see gill on the big screen so soon! i miss her very much, after '49 days', i do really want to see her in an another film. and now she onli has her Tv series.. so sad.. hope EEG sort things out with the director, cos gill is being affected by this decision of them as well!




haha! tt is so not true! blurgal is a singaporean and doesn't she love ah sa more? lols! not starting a fight with you ah blurgal, just said it as a manner of speech! lols! wah! isn't tt going over the board/ attetion grabbing pple? charlene? lols! i tink tt is a bit unfair to pass judgement abt char, cos of her roles in movies and they way she acts in real life. gill is also a bit reserved mah, sum of my friends call her arrogant and b*t*hy, and i do get very angry at that! i've got abt 27 odd chinese frineds who are twins fans also, and over 20 of them prefer charlene! lols! so it means tt pple love both gill and char equally! in my area, it's charlene craze!

Er... since this is a Gillian thread why would we b*t*h at Gillian for singing low???? And we are not b*t*hing at Charlene just because she sings too loud.It could either be she can't hit low notes or she only could hit high notes? Like Gillian is might only could hit low notes and not high notes. and if you think of it as another idol POV you would say too Charlene sings loud.. and if they BOTH can't sing why be a fan of theirs????

And about the interview part. Gillian is quiet? How do you know that? Everytime someone asks a question Charlene is the one answering first and until she's done Gillian will go talking. If you see Gillian at interviews alone she would talk and feel free to talk how much she wants. It's either Gillian cutting of Charlene to talk or Charlene cutting off Gillian to talk. Vice versa.

YAY!!! Gillian will be on Jade Solid gold on the 12th!!! That's tomorrow!!

Looks like we'll be hearing this live version of Conscience Discovery very soon!!!

Serious? OMG!!! Yeah finally get to see them perform together!!!! Only them 2 from EEG going?

Oooo yays! Been waiting so long!!!

I dont tink so. I think they only used that song for the commerical.. if they actually had a full verison of it I don't think it would sound right

If you've at all read thoroughly on what was posted about Sa's singing then you would at least acknowledge that some of the posts were not ridiculous. What does thousands of fans screaming have anything to do with singing loudly? There are microphones you know? And not every singer sings loudly just to sound like they're singing? Um, Gillian is quiet in interviews thus it's normal for Sa to be loud at live concerts? Uh, Gillian is only quiet during the interviews she shares with Sa whereas with other members of EEG like Joey, Gillian just all of a sudden knows how to talk I suppose?

This is not considered bashing. The content of the discussion was the Twins Concert 2006 based on opinions and observations. If you can't handle others being critical about Sa's live performances then sorry to say, don't stir things even more with some posts criticizing others of being too harsh on Sa.

Whether you believe Gillian to sound only 40% like CDs and not 99.9% like I believe or Gillian does sound better solo or not, I don't see how stating that would any way defend Sa? If you define our discussion as bashing Sa then what you just stated is truly bashing at your own terms.

Gillian singing too low? Uh, I don't think so. It's Sa who lowers all of the notes.

You know what's funny, almost every post you try to defend Sa with isn't even defending, it's straight out insulting Gillian and you expect some fans on this thread, a Gillian thread, not to become upset and offended? That's tough.

Great. Another pre-war. Gillian fans on this thread have already minimized the so called harsh and critical discussion on Sa so it's useless to point out things now. PhuongNguyen, honestly, a lot of the Gillian fans here have experienced plenty of difficulties with you here at AF and TC, really?...do we have to begin another pointless circle on all of the same issues we've been debating about all along?? But it seems like you can never end a debate without an offensive last word either at Gillian or Gillian fans therefore, almost in every discussion we have, Gillian fans almost all have to ignore or avoid you. I don't dislike you in any way but sometimes, you have to measure the boundaries too. That's all I have to say.

*Now Officially ignoring some people I don't wish to further clash with*

Yay. Thanks for sharing the info. A moment of truth.

You know what... I wrote a whole page of response... but I realize there's no point. Gillian fan will continue to support Gillian. Charlene fan will continue to support Charlene. There's no such thing as peace between the fan anymore. Sooner or later, us fan will drive the rest of the Twins fan away. Being fan meaning we suppot our idol, I don't see where it mean we got to insult others stars to support them. From now on... those who bashes Charlene, I will just say that you guys are giving Gillian a bad reputation. Same for Charlene fan... we are giving TWINS a bad reputation. Instead of standing strong to support our idol, we are tearing down at each other throat. TC use to be very peaceful and calm. Then everyone start going at each other throat. Charlene fan says one thing, aggravate the Gillian fan.. so they say the next (vice versa) and now... it's a non stop comparrison war. I myself plead guilty. However... it doesn't matter no more because what I say won't get to anyone head. By defending Charlene, you guys automatically assume I'm stiring trouble or bashing Gillian. Quite frankly... you guys haven't prove anything to me. I'm not ending this because I'm afraid to argue... I'm ending this because I no longer see a point in trying to prove something that will never be acknowledge. So feel free to bash Charlene; feel free to bash Gillian(goes for the Charlene fan). I no longer support Twins the way I do before because simply... Twins fan are driving me away.

Well, since everyone's already done a pretty good job of explaining to PhuongNguyen, there's no need for me to repeat everyone's words then.


I don't think Conscience Discovery will be in the mandarin album because it's not a Twins song; if they do decide to produce a mandarin version of it, it will definitely appear on an album of Kenny's.


Yay!!!! This piece of information sure made my day!! I wonder if this means that Conscience Discovery is the champion song for the week? :dede: It'd be so nice if Kenny and Gillian could sing a medley of songs from other artistes in addition to performing Conscience Discovery, but I guess just singing Conscience Discovery is already good enough since we've been looking forward to it for so long!

Hey, I'm really wondering whether Gillian is finished with her filming or not. Gillian's apparently back in HK right now, and she seems like she has a busy week in HK coming up for her this week. She has arrived in HK today because she has a radio interview that she has to do with Charlene, then tomorrow, she's on JSG with Kenny, and then she has to go on JSG again on Saturday with Charlene. I wonder if she still needs to get back to the filming crew or if she's done.

Dear, understand this: I discontinued our little debate in that thread because we kept travelling in circles. It wastes my time typing up long lengthy responses, which you always feel you need to have the last offensive victory say to end a topic so I promptly left it at that, not because I couldn't rebuttle your claims against Gillian and Gillian fans. I just chose to ignore you in that thread because it's pointless. See, you even brought the old topic again just to have the last say. Hun, I don't wish to play the chasing game. When I feel like I've made my point, whether you've clearly understood it or not, that is up to your own judgment but I'm not going to continue arguing with someone who will always be on a different page than me. Seems like everyone is a hypocrite to you so I don't need to dwell in that term or explain to you how Sa's super talkative and energetic behavior directly impacts Gillian and how being loud is not necessary for true singing. Gillian fans here have already respected Alexa's request by minimizing our discussion about Sa so don't see the purpose in you fighting for Sa's rights again. It's inevitable to entirely erase Sa's name when Twins, Gillian and Sa are affiliated with each other so comprehend that much at least.

Same goes towards your offensive posts in this Gillian thread. As I've stated before, if you dearly passionately want to express your support for Sa then join in with her thread. Bluntly, if you wish for updates on Gillian, you have an account at TC correct, which is specifically designed for Twins so you could avoid all of this frustration as a Twins fan by not entering this thread if the posts on this Gillian thread bothers you that much, but if you still wish to continue arguing about things so petty then don't become upset if half of the fans here ignore you because I don't want to contribute to this thread growing into a battlefield like all of the other threads that contain Twins.

Again, *Now Officially ignoring some people I don't wish to further clash with.*

Yay!! I'm so glad to hear this!! We have been looking forward to this day for so long and now it finally happened!! Ohh...I'm so happy..lolx.. I'm definitely going to take a look at the JSG tomorrow!! I seriously think this is another sign from EEG to us fans... Compared to years ago when Edison had a duet with Gillian...they weren't even able to perform it once but this time EEG is willing to let Kenny and Gillian to sing this duet live!!

I hate to say this, but I think we might have to be prepared that this notice about Kenny and Gillian going on JSG may be false. There are some fans of Kenny's who have expressed that this isn't true, yet this piece of information was printed on the TVB Weekly Magazine. I really want tomorrow to come, so we'll find out whether KG will go or not. I hope they do.

*Sigh* I'm not sure anymore either... here-->http://www.starphotohk.com/FunctionOfStarTo-day.html it says that Rain, Ronald, Niki and Soler are on JSG tomorrow, but the fan from TF.net said she got it from the TVB magazine...? not sure which one to believe......

The unconfirmed JSG performance could be a factor in determining whether there will be a Mandarin version of Conscience Discovery or not because not a lot of EEG duets have been as successful as this one. I'm assuming Gillian might have completed filming for Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain because Ady already joined the crew a while back and the older version of MRL only enters once CLS officially dies off but since it's a new adaption, not sure about the current storyline.


Such sad news. That is confusing but perhaps those Kenny fans haven't glanced at the TVB Weekly Magazine.

I do hope and pray that Kenny and Gillian will have an opportunity to expose their duet skills.

Is this source reliable? If yes, then bummer! My hopes are slowly fading.

*Sigh* If that site says that those are the people going there, then it's 99% confirmed. Why would the TVB magazine do that to us? The TVB magazine sometimes does make mistakes on their little timetables for stars like how they listed 'Twins, Yumiko Cheng' for the 25th HK Film Awards when it was Gillian, Yumiko, and Fiona who went, but I can't believe they'd get the schedule for their own program wrong.


Yeah, EEG duets never have been that successful with the exception of Don and Mandy, the duet couple of EEG, and Conscience Discovery is another successful one; that's about it? But if EEG does decide to let KG collaborate again, I'd rather it be a whole new duet than a mandarin version of Conscience Discovery; it would be kind of repetitive.

Thinking about it, even if Kenny and Gillian did go on tomorrow, they most likely wouldn't have gotten no. 1 since Ronald's song has been sitting around at 2nd place, so it's probably his champion this week. I just hope that Conscience Discovery hangs in on the chart; that way, we'll still have hope for KG to go on next week. I hope that's why TVB altered their plans of letting KG go on, to let Ronald go first; then afterwards, KG can go up and take the no. 1 home. I really want to hear how their voices go together during a live performance!

I suppose Gillian probably is done, or maybe just a few more scenes to wrap up. I still think that the only interaction between Ching Ling So and Miu Yeurk Lan is during Miu Yeurk Lan's youth only. Afterwards, Wu Fei most likely feels torn between Ching Ling So, Miu Yeurk Lan, and Yuen Zi Yi with Ching Ling So only as a shadow impacted on Wu Fei's life because of her death, then I really don't know how the new adaption's gonna go with at least two of the female leads dying off.

^^ That's sad news...aww..and I was so happy for a moment there!! But I wouldn't mind KG going next week and getting the champion instead like Little_Purple_Bell said... Either way find with me but I'm just worried that neither one would happen..hmm...we should keep our hopes though right?

Hmm..so Gillian is finished filming?? Would that mean the series will air soon?? I can't wait to watch it because of all those nice reviews and news of Gillian's character..lolx..I'm kind of confused with the pairing but doesn't matter. Just hope it would get good ratings and earn more recognition for Gillian afterwards!!

Awww how disappointing. I was really looking forward to Gillian and Kenny performing a song together on stage. xP I'll be fine with them performing it where ever and whenever, just as long as they do it. xP

Does anyone know the approximation of when Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain will be aired? As for the pairings, all I know is that Gillian doesn't end up with anyone. I'm pretty sure that Nie Yun and Athena will be a pair. (I haven't watched any of the past versions before! xP)

Twins were just on as guests at a radio station, and they've confirmed that they will be filming a film together during the next half of this year. I only caught the last two minutes of that interview because I couldn't connect to the server. Anyway, Charlene also said that Twins will be releasing a cantonese album one or two months after the mandarin album. Gillian has confirmed that she is done with her filming in Mainland as well, and the series will be airing on CCTV in mainland, a country-wide channel, according to the DJ.

Gillian has completed filming. Can't wait until it releases. I'm wondering if Gillian will have time to promote the serial with the cast since Twins will be releasing two albums, one right after the other and a few films in the middle BUT if all things work accordingly, everything will be flooded with Gillian, on television and radio/music.

But I'm not too fond nor anticipating at all of this Twins film. I could already sense my temper bubble when the film again labels Gillian as the quiet cold one while Sa is the usual bubbly one and doesn't equally distribute screentime, has no development on the characters, and intentionally promotes only one under the pair Twins.

So for both the upcoming Mandarin and Cantonese albums, Twins will have solos in both albums or just in the Cantonese one?

Aw, I miss Gillian in films; hopefully, to our surprise, Gillian will have a few more movies for us to enjoy alongside music.

I'm the same with you; I'm not that fond of having a Twins film either, but I guess a Twins film for Gillian to work on is better than a complete stop of filming movies. Do you think this is the film being produced by the same company as the one that produced '49 Days'? It probably isn't 'Silver Lake Princess' since the director's been off to vacation ever since 'A Chinese Tall Tale' was finished with (same director). I hope this film will be an exception; the producer gave Gillian a cute, outspoken, and bubbly role in '49 Days', and I think she did a good job of it. Haha, I didn't have the patience to wait for the DVD to come out, so when I saw the mandarin version of it posted online, I just had to take a peek at it first. I actually liked Gillian's scenes with Steven more than Stephen because they were so funny together, and Gillian and Steven do have chemistry together; Stephen's character was the mainest of all, but Gillian was the absolute female lead in film. Gillian didn't have a lot of places where she could develop in the film, but I didn't see any majors flaws in her performances; she gave a decent performance in my opinion. Oops, a little off-topic there, but '49 Days' did show that Gillian can play a character that is bubbly, and even a little boastful. But I do hope that this won't all turn around when Charlene comes into the picture, and make Twins go back to their typical places, in account of character, screentime, development, etc.

I'm guessing that there won't be solos in the mandarin album since Twins are quite famous as Twins in Mainland; the media of some places haven't even figured out which is Charlene, and which is Gillian. The chances of having solos in the cantonese album are high because they've done it before in a prevoius album, and Mani has expressed that they will have solo songs produced this year. I hope this will be a better film year for Gillian than last year. In the interview, they've said that they'll be sticking together quite often during the second half of the year because of the mandarin album promoting, cantonese album producing, and movie filming.

At least we know that Gillian wont be left out during the second half of the year and it might be somewhat of the same things that they are doing, only separate promotions for Charlene's films and Gillian's series. I hope that this upcoming Twins movie wont be an EEG/EMG whatever company it is, based production, because most of EEG's based movies arent really too appealing. They're all corny with cheesy plots to it, only a few were good. And if its fromt the same company from 49 Days, I think they might make it equal screentime, because I remember I once read here or somewhere else that they were the ones who produced The Death Curse, well if its the right company, then they said that they gave Charlene more screentime in that film and they let Gillian film 49 Days solo, so if it IS the same company, then I think theres a good chance that they will get equal parts, seeing how they evened it out this way. Well, like I said, if it is the same company, if its not the same company, then oops, I guess I got them mixed up or something.



I'm also thinking the same thing, seeing how Twins were so popular as 'Twins' during their first mandarin album, I don't think that they will be having solos yet. Also, they are still somewhat new into the Taiwanese market, so I don't think that EEG will be having have separate solo songs yet.

Also, IF they really do have separate solos on their upcoming cantonese album, and IF the predictions are true, then lets hope that EEG DOES give Gillian some good solos that can show off her ability. Also, how many solos do you guys think the album will have? Will it be one, like the Touch of Love album? Or maybe more? It'll be pretty nice to have more than one, so then we can hear more variety of styles of singing from Gillian.

I've just been to Niki's offical forum, and one of the fans said that Niki will be on JSG this week...so that means it's 100% sure that we won't be seeing Kenny & Gillian perform today.
But that doesn't matter, because I actually don't think the magazine made any mistakes this time, I think Gillian & Kenny will record an episode for JSG today, but that episode won't be aired until next week or something. Because firstly; 21:00 is already past the time when JSG usually air, and for the second TVB tend to record programs and stuffs at least one week before they air it. Take the program 15/16 for example; Alex & Stephy were there last week, but on sunday they were still airing that episode with Miriam, Yoyo, Steven etc, which was recorded approx. 2 weeks ago. So we shouldn't get all depressed or disappointed, because I'm sure we'll be seeing them perform together next week or so, and hopefully the song will make it to the top by then.

i agree. TC used to be sooo peaceful until member no. 8588 came along.
i've got nth more to say. and b*t*h is bad for health anyway

Aww... that just darkened my day....grr!!!!!!



What???????? A canto album after their mando album? And Im guessing EEG will have tons of verison of the canto album! Damn! All my money is going to be gone already and now album album???!!!! Goodness!!!!!!! Hope TVB could air the series...



Well I just hope they record it and then air it later...that's what I'm hoping right now!

PhuongNguyen, u love to say ppl stir trouble and insult ur DEAREST charlene. c'mon lets end this for once and get over it. there's bound to be competition, wad do u expect us to do? Look at SHE, some people like hebe or selina or ella more, 2R some people like race or rosanne more, cookies some people like stephy, miki,kary,theresa more, boyz kenny/ steven/ dennis blah blah blah etc. cos they have no trouble makers like u, dats y their fans didn't clash and bah each other! do u get my point??! Learn from alexa, stop going on n on about some stupid thing like this and talk about something else. are u sure u read all 34 pages of the gillian thread? i don't think so. its a feat u noe for someone as unpatient as u. u stop bashing gillian n the so called "char bashing" will stop too (not that it ever happen).
sometimes i think u are too sensitive, treating every post in the thread as a insult to charlene. well sorry, i don't think so. i'm partly charlene fan too and i also used to that charlene fans may be as bubbly or friendly as charlene herself , but you really spoiled my impression.
disclaimer: u may think that i am ONCE AGAIN too offensive. but please reflect n think how you had treated us gillian fans.
carefully think about what u gonna say before u type. u wouldn't want people running n cursing after you, don't u. or maybe, after a night of thinking, u are just plainly seeking attention by insulting ppl n see if their fans will come after you.
this is my opinion, i can tolerate criticises but pls know ur limits and toe the line. so don't don' t go over board. i don't tolerate harsh insults especially swearing.
btw, what does 'bakka' means?

I'm not too fond of a Twins film either but if that's the only way we are able to see Gillian on the big screen again, well I guess we have to tolerate this.... I just hope EEG could realize that the repetitive roles in the Twins films or any of their films are that attractive to the audience!!

Hmm...I like the idea of Gillian flooding the music stream and Television...So much exposure at once!!


I hope that's the case!! I really wanna see a live performance with Kenny and Gillian..hehe..I can't wait for next week!!


"Bakka" is a Japanese word and it means stupid or a fool.

*Sigh* Bad news. Conscience Discovery is off of the JSG charts, so KG won't be going to JSG next week.

Well, I find that no matter which director it is producing a Twins film, it always seems to have the same old results of placing labels on Twins, concentrating on only one, investing the majority of screentime on only one, and only manages to develope a bit on the characters but concentrates more on the comedic content. Unless, I watch it for myself then perhaps then I may end up enjoying it if all things finally take a change but I don't want to have high hopes for alterations that may not likely happen based on past experiences of Twins.

I probably won't order 49 Days until I save enough money. But I'm glad at least Gillian receieved a different role this time and CLS is also another character I'm anticipating on watching because just from the short clips, Gillian's CLS is quite unique.

About the Kenny and Gillian Live Duet, I would love to watch and listen to them sing live but have you guys ever wondered how it'll turn out like? I'm glad that Gillian has tremendously improved ever since her solo performances, Twins Concert 2006, all the way up to some recent Twins performances but performing next to Kenny live (together without the Twins + Boy'z phase anymore) is whole a different experience. Hopefully, they both had plenty of practice together so they can exchange and transition the song smoothly and beautifully. Kenny sounds pretty decent live but he has a tendency to rush a bit; perhaps he still confronts stage freight thus being extremely nervous so I don't want Gillian who tends to emphasize at a slower pace in slow songs to have to visibly pick up her pace resulting in a messy live duet. At times, Kenny has a higher pitch than some of his female partners, which makes the duet sound quite weird but let's hope this won't be the case. That's why I personally believe that since Gillian has a sweeter and higher voice than Sa, instead of pairing Kenny and Sa together for a duet, Gillian and Kenny collaborated while Nic, who has a deeper voice in comparison to Kenny, was paired up with Sa, who also has a deeper voice compared to Gillian, in a duet; also for their film together too but were 2-3 songs that necessary in the OST lol? But Sa does sound better in Mandarin because her voice is much more gentle and soothing in Mandarin. I personally didn't like the Nic and Sa duets because I thought they weren't catchy but rather boring but both of their voices synchronized well. The Mandarin duets revealed a softer touch of Sa's voice, not usually heard in Cantonese songs.

Back to Kenny and Gillian's duet, the both of them sort of only have a one time live performance because I really don't see how or when they'll perform it live again if not for JSG so I really hope that they both master it and perform it outstandingly because Gillian needs more support from the HK audience to shed that label as a pretty face who can't sing. Even if they made the smallest mistakes, the HK audience still tends to penalize and criticize them mainly because the're good looking, from EEG, and have once before performed badly. If they they mess up, they probably won't have another chance to redeem themselves so I want both Kenny and Gillian to prove to everyone, that they are good singers in a one time shot. I guess, I'm glad that Kenny and Gillian aren't performing just yet because they need practice. Gillian has been away in Mainland for all of these weeks, only taking some time to attend some functions and award ceremonies, Kenny as well hasn't practiced singing the duet much without Gillian either so the both of them need to work extra hard to pull through together if they haven't completed an early recording like what Transition stated.

Oh well. I guess, they weren't ready so I don't want to watch an unprepared live performance anyways. It just ruins their image so I guess it's safer this way if we were to perceive from a brighter view.

I just watched JSG and must admit I was kind of shocked that 'Conscience Discovery' is off the chart already. I actually expected to see them on the 6th place or something, since Alex & Stephy's duet is on the 7th and Kenny & Gillian's was one place ahead of theirs last week. Can't believe the duet only managed to stay for a week, while
Rain Li's song has been hanging there for weeks already; which in my opinion doesn't sound that good; or maybe it's just because of the quite bad live-singing of hers that made me think so. (I haven't heard the cd-version, only the live performance on JSG)
I, who thought my theory was accurate...that they have already recorded
the episode today, just that it won't air until next week...guess I was getting my hopes to high.

It's already out, I think since yesterday or so?

I'm just going to put a little bit of hope that possibly this film could be different, but not too much hope because I also believe that the chances are very slim for Twins to jump out of their typical roles when filming a movie together. It's no wonder why some people already dislike Twins films before they even see it because the majority of their past films really don't do them any justice; it seems like they just want to make you to give a giggle or a chuckle for whatever reason there is in the film. I still really hope they could film a dramatic film together that actually has a plot. The closest they've ever gotten to dramatic film is Twins Effect; it had the interesting plot about vampires, but they just had to implant some weird sub-plots and scenes to it. The film scriptwriters could easily just write two storylines happening simultaneously during the one film, but for whatever reason that Twins films have, it just can't happen; only one of them can take on the majority of the screentime.

I think Ching Ling So is going to be a memorable role for us. It's just the kind of role that Gillian had been anticipating, and a kind of role that we haven't seen her in before. Nie Yuan has expressed that he was fascinated by Gillian's acting, so his words and his writing of Ching Ling So's dying scene have made me want to watch it even more. The advertising for this series has started already, with it based on romance rumours between Gillian and Nie Yuan.



Uh huh, I've seen some people complain of how Kenny is singing with Gillian instead of Charlene, and all that came to my mind is, "Have they thought about how each of their voice bases are like, and are they actually compatible in voices to be having a duet?" There are people who never think about that point, and only want a couple to duet because they 'look' good together, but never realize if they will 'sound' good together. Taking Kenny and Charlene as an example, I can't imagine how they will sound like together in a duet. Basically, within a duet, the female singer's voice should be at least a few scales higher than the male singer, and even when Gillian was singing with Kenny, it sounded like even Gillian seemed to be at one of her extreme points for high notes, so how is one supposed to expect Charlene to even go there? I'm almost positive that Kenny has an even higher voice than Charlene. So, Nic was a pretty good choice for Charlene to duet with. I like Charlene's mandarin voice more as well; at certain times, I even like 'The Same Two Dreams' more than 'Kite And Wind' because 'The Same Two Dreams' sounded much more smoother and calming when Gillian's voice finished the first verse, and Charlene's voice came on rather than 'Kite And Wind'.

I'm not too worried for Kenny and Gillian if they do give a live performance together, trying new things is good. I don't think either of them have partnered up with anyone else other than Charlene and Steven, or all four of them as a big group, so it would be a good thing if they could experience a whole new stage presence with someone else for once. They kinda did have a face-to-face singing to each other experience before, but of course Steven and Charlene were standing right behind them during the Boy'Z + Twins performance. You're right about how they should get more practice together first before trying to perform it together live. Sometimes a singer can practise his/her own parts alone well, but meeting up with your partner could be a whole different result. Hopefully, Kenny and Gillian will have enough chemistry on-stage to work it out with each other about the pace and other matters, especially when Conscience Discovery has that line where they sing different lyrics.


I still hope that there'll be a chance for Gillian to go on JSG, hopefully for Conscience Discovery, because I believe that she needs a chance to show the HK audience how she can sing. She's done it through her solos in Mainland and Taiwan; all she has left is HK to do. Pretty people sometimes actually have to take the hard way around to show their talents because they are always stereotyped as good looking = talentless, which is true in some cases, but the exceptions just have to work twice as hard for the recognition and to shed the fancy face label.



I was so disappointed about how it's off the charts again; I've already been disappointed once when I didn't see it on the chart after it was on the list of challenge songs, but I was so happy to see it at 7th place, now it's gone again........ I agree! Even Rain Li's song hung in on the chart, and it doesn't sound very good and it was at a lower place than Conscience Discovery last week. Well, I still have hopes for Conscience Discovery. I've seen cases of where songs pop back on the JSG chart out of nowhere, so I hope that's what's happening. Conscience Discovery had popped back onto 7th place last week out of nowhere. TVB uses and promotes Conscience Discovery too much to let it go without a no. 1 or even a high position. Why would they print that on their magazine then? Okay, my TV had The Scoop on yesterday, and when they were doing an interview with the various artistes, they would switch from artiste to artiste with a few seconds of the opening music from Conscience Discovery! *sigh* I'm keeping my fingers crossed that TVB is just scaring us for the week, and going to be popping Conscience Discovery back on the chart next week, and actually invite Kenny and Gillian on next week.

well, if ur living in singapore, the movie was released in the cinemas a long time ago. but the vcd version, we may have to wait a while!

well this really sucks! i was really expecting them to perform at the least a verse of the song! lol. but then again, this song wasn't really MAGNIFICENT. it was only okay.

woot! i just watched 49 days today. i've got to say that i enjoyed the scenes with steven and gillian the most. they were pretty comedic. and boy was gillian cocky towards her father! lol. i'm still mad about the fact that they took out the "kissing" scene with gillian and stephen. =T as for the movie, it was quite scary! well to me at least. lol. the ending sucked though. =T

Here's an interview of the director of 'Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain', Gillian, Athena, and Nie Yuan that I translated.

~

April 10th was the last day of filming for Gillian Chung in the crew of "Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain". Early that morning, the reporter from our newspaper took a ride for an hour and a half to arrive at HuaRou, Beijing for a personal visit to the crew. Arrived at ten, and the temperature had dropped five to six degrees Celsius. Seeing director, Chung Siu Hung, wearing a thick jacket, the rest of us who were wearing thin clothing started shivering. Gillian Chung had finally arrived at 3:30pm. Gillian had been refusing any newspaper interviews during her time of filming this series, and this is her first time accepting this interview. She spoke of how she portrayed this 'different' Ching Ling So, including the hardest 'intimate' scene that she filmed. Later on, Athena Chu and Nie Yuan had also accepted an interview and explained the new verisons of Yuen Ji Yi and Wu Fei. This is a tragic and romantic version of 'Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain'; the relationships between everyone had been designed to be very confusing and complicated. A triangle love, one night stand, leaving, life and death....... Seeing this, we can say that the main topic of Wong Jing's version of 'Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain' is having sentiments more important than anything.

In the novel, Ching Ling So is a very ordinary girl, not very noticeable, even a little ugly. She's the apprentice of a medicine king. Being very intelligent, but because of the tragic of her fate, everything appears to be sorrowful. With the older versions of the series, Ching Ling So had never been the character that was designed to be the most attracting. Ever since Gillian was confirmed to play Ching Ling So, the pages concerning 'Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain' at Baidu had started flooding. How could such a beautiful Ching Ling So not make Gillian fans anticipate? This will be a very different Ching Ling So; her screentime has been added a lot, and is a definite female lead.

Reporter: How are you understanding the character of Ching Ling So?

Gillian: I love Ching Ling So; she's 100% a good person at heart, very righteous.

R: What is different about your Ching Ling So with the novel's and the previous versions'?

G: I didn't have much time to read the novel, but I did watch some of the previous versions. The Ching Ling So I'm portraying doesn't really look down on herself that much; she's a little contradictory from inside to out. Sometimes she would get into little fights with Yuen Ji Yi. She's very energetic and simple. She's not as good as playing mind games as the novel's Ching Ling So. Towards me, these characteristics are kind of like me.

R: Do you like your costumes?

G: Quite, it's very modern. I have four or five costumes that are based on the color, blue, and I also have a male costume. I actually like the outfit that I wear right outside of the jacket. It's made of real silk; it's a dress matched up together using different colours and designs. It feels very silky, and adding to that is the modern desgin of imbalanced threading. But because of the cold weather, I need to wear a big shall over it.

R: How does it feel like to be starring as a main character in a series?

G: It's quite similar to filming a movie, but the filming time for a series is more tight. We need to rush the filming, so there isn't much waiting around done.

R: What's the hardest of all the filming? Any action scenes?

G: I actually don't have action scenes; my job is to cure poison. I think the hardest scene was the intimate scene with Wu Fei. It was practically like a bed scene; I needed to have everything bare from the chest up, and I had to act out the complicated feelings of my character during this situation. It's a quite sexy performance, but I saw how the effects turned out and it looked beautiful. It happened in an abandoned church. The camera will have me showing my bare shoulders, and what I had on was really low-cutted, so it would look like I'm not wearing anything at all. This scene talks about Ching Ling So handing herself over to Wu Fei. She loves Wu Fei deeply, yet she is aware that Wu Fei doesn't love her. Having sex under these circumstances, her feelings must be very complicated.

R: Do you feel that Ching Ling So is a tragical character?

G: Yes, I empathize with this character deeply. Every day when I arrive back to our motel, I would sigh and express, "Why is it that I'm so tragic?" Yet in reality, I feel that CLS's persisting love is a little out of logic since Wu Fei doesn't love her at all...... well, he does love her, but more like a sister. He was touched by CLS's righteousness. CLS understands one principle, which is though she has gotten him physically, his heart will never belong to her.

Gillian's version of Ching Ling So: Beauty Shines Right Through
Description of appearance:
When compared to the novel's CLS, Gillian is too beautiful. Her beauty couldn't be covered no matter what. Her clothes were full of the taste of a modern era. Her dresses are just the kind that we can see in the shops in HK. Real silk, and colourful. She would often have a big shall around her; a trend established in Milan. Nie Yuan comments that she looks like Harry Potter.

Description from co-stars:

Nie Yuan: Gillian's personality is very mild, as if she doesn't know how to get mad. She's a little anxious and really cute, a lot like CLS. Personally, I like CLS the best in the novel; she suits the a traditional chinese man's criteria very well.

Athena: Gillian is way more beautiful than the novel's CLS. Not beautiful makes pity, but Gillian is so beautiful. Being so beautiful, she's inordinary, so we won't feel so tragic. CLS is a mouthy girl; she practically has the most lines among all of us!

Director: Choosing Gillian to play CLS is because they're so similar, cute yet pitiful and intelligent. Gillian has a lot of potential in acting. Tragic scenes, she'll make you feel like someone's jerking at your heart; joyful scenes, she'll make you feel energetic with her being so cute. We didn't add a pessimistic personality to CLS because her tragical fate is all in the script already, so we gave her a bubbly character. We can also give the contrast between her personality and her fate to make it even more tragical. Our CLS is definitely pure. Her senior is one who poisons people, yet she's the one who cures poison; she always wants to save her senior.

Athena's version of Yuen Ji Yi: Western Fighting Girl

Description of appearance:
She comes from the western lands. Her costumes were designed from ideas of a western movie. She has a great moving feeling with it, and is the most tough-looking of all the females. Besides the little threadings and beads, she doesn't have many heavy designs on her to have convenient fighting, giving people a clean and clear feeling.

Athena's own comments: I love Yuen Ji Yi; she's not fake. Miu Yeurk Lan appears to be fake; I didn't like her when I read the novel. I didn't like CLS either; she seemed a little short-tempered. YJY is a proud girl with great martial arts; she fell in love with WF, and met while fighting, and fought out love sparks. I think the biggest selling point of YJY is to fight with sentiment.

Nie Yuan's Wu Fei: A Copper-Coloured Hero

Description of appearance:
A fur lover; he looks a little Indian with huge furs with every costume. When reporters went to visit, he was wearing an Egypt looking robe and had a few tail-like materials hanging done. The style seemed very wild. Nie Yuan's face was copper-coloured, so it looked extra wild.

Nie Yuan's own comments: The WFs earlier were all quite ordinary. My version of WF understands clearly that he loves YJY; he's sure of himself, yet he doesn't know how to let it out. He wants to make an initiative move, but it always turns into avoidance with a little trick of fate. At the beginning, WF is a bit childish, but the WF later on is completely extreme.

Questions to Cast:

Question: What's the biggest selling point of Wong Jing's version of "Flying Fox"?

Gillian: It's very happy working with talented actors like Alex Fong Chung Sun and Anthony Wong. The exterior scenes of the series were very beautiful, and the clothes were very modern-looking.

Athena: Besides the costumes, even Wong Jing feels that this is the best series he's ever taken into his hands.

Nie Yuan: At first, WF is always covered up by the shining of Wu Yat Do and Miu Yan Fung, and has an indecisive personality. Now WF is clear about himself and obvious of his feelings.

Q: What difference did you bring to your classical character?

G: I'm supposed to bring out a beautiful CLS, and not try to be ugly, yet I didn't specially go and discover ways to specfically act different than the previous CLS.

A: I hope to make YJY into a female who can join martial arts with love; it's rare to see in other Wuxia series.

NY: From a little boy's pureness into an extreme man of revenge, this WF really knows what he wants.

Seeing Gillian's last scene, the two women have a debate.

Reporters see on the filming set that it's the scene of cremating Ma Chun Fa's corpse. It wrote 'Ching Ling So's appearance'. Yet we only saw Nie Yuan, Gillian's sub and others there. The winds started blowing hard, and when Gillian did arrive, we already had layers of dirt on ourselves. Gillian had to do some detailed facial scenes of sadness. To suit the scenery, it was ordered to start the fire again.

Then it's a kind of a filming as short clips of scenes. Gillian's facial expressions weren't that obvious of change, but it was natural. Gillian had to put on make-up the most during the scene; the make-up artiste would come up with a brush every five to ten minutes, and Athena didn't do it once during the scene.

The most exciting scene would be the last scene of Gillian's filming. It's the debating between Gillian and Athena. The scene spoke of CLS meeting with YJY and hopes that she won't ever see WF again (CLS and WF had a one night stand). CLS is very smart; she knew how to use words to make a person back off. YJY responded, "Don't worry. We won't see each other again." CLS knew YJY wasn't spekaing her heart, and knew WF's heart didn't belong to her. The two women appeared to be very calm on the scene, but both had a breaking heart.

The filming area was very quiet and calm, same with Gillian's and Athena's performances. The duel began without any trace marks. Athena was quick with coolness; Gillian didn't show a bit of her next move. The atmosphere was cold and tragic.

With the complicated relationships in the series, Athena and Director Chung revealed some of it during the interview. WF loves YJY, yet CLS loves WF. MYL is more of a fan of WF's. She and CLS fought with each other while loving WF. The interactions between the women were strengthened. They fight with each other, yet risk their lives to save each other. Towards love, they want to make their move towards it, yet they try to be modest with each other. It isn't hard to think of how this version of 'Flying Fox' will be. The series also added in another traingle love, which is between Tian Gua Long, Nam Lan and Miu Yan Fung. Wong Jing also designed love scenes between YJY and Fuk Hong On, and MYL and Fuk Hong On. In the end, the antagonists suffer: Tian Gua Long dies for love, Fuk Hong On was taken to the church for purifying. Quoting the director, "Each episode has to be emotional."

In the series, it has been forbidded for the characters to be acting like they're gods landing from heaven and flying around everywhere. When WF had to appear from the high skies, he cannot be faintly smiling like a typical handsome young man with a little show of actions. Director ordered to Nie Yuan, "From top to bottom, you need a force, just a cougar tightly forcing his way towards advancing." Also, the swords will definitely not 'shine' in the series. To show the power of the sword, the martial arts must be the factor to do so. Even though the cast didn't have great martial arts, but they will do most of their stunts themselves, actively showing these skills.

The plot is the thing that 'Flying Fox' has been keeping away from everyone. With everyone worrying of how Wong Jing might be crazily changing a script to a novel after 'Proud of Twins', Wong Jing just keeps on leaving a cliffhanger by not telling you. We seemed to be followed up by a mystery, everyone gave a different answer, but when we threaded them all together, we did find some things out.

Will Wu Fei drop down the knife he's been holding for 20 years?

WF and MYF's duel on the mountains has always been a story left untied; JinYong's novel has never told us if WF decided to spike that knife at MYF, but now, Wong Jing will be putting a period down on this scene.

Director's thoughts: He'll definitely stab him, but we won't know if MYF will die from it.

Nie Yuan's thoughts: With the knife being stabbed, he should die.

Will the ending of the female leads change?

In the novel, YJY left and CLS died, but would Wong Jing be satisfied with this ending?

Director: Two of these women will leave, CLS definitely died, but did YJY leave or die? We'll keep that as a secret for now.

Athena: YJY died. Because of YJY, WF was poisoned by Fuk Hong On. CLS rescued him, and the two had a one night stand. CLS was captured by her senior, and YJY got poisoned as well because of trying to save CLS. There was only one piece of antidote, and CLS gave it to YJY. YJY ate it without knowing that it's the antidote; CLS died. YJY has to eat another piece of antidote seven years later to completely be rid of the poison. YJY left WF for the seven years to search for her master at Tian San. WF tries hard to find the antidote and did succeed. In conclusion, it was because of the appearance of MYL that the antidote was damaged. In the end, YJY died of the poison.

Wu Fei, Yuen Ji Yi, and Ching Ling So's triangle love, how will it be when adding Miu Yeurk Lan?

This is the main point to Wong Jing's design. What's most exciting with the four pointed relationship?

Athena: WF was poisoned because of YJY. This kind of poison will only be cured after sexual interaction; YJY wanted to cure it for him, but WF rejected because it was pre-martial sex, and even he would look down on himself if they did it. YJY paralyzed WF, and took a short leave. At this time, CLS came, and seeing WF's painful look, she helped him cure the poison. YJY came back and saw, so she thought she should be leaving, but didn't exactly want to. With CLS doing so much for WF, yet WF loves YJY deeply. The torn feeling of this triangle relationship is very strong. Between YJY and WF, their relationship is kind of like Plato form; the most extreme point is hugging and kissing.

Wong Jing designed YJY and MYL's before and after. YJY is older than MYL, and saved her when she was young. MYL and CLS would starting fighting with each other, yet both love WF. After YJY appeared, MYL would think YJY is better. Even though MYL is WF's fans, but she'd rather WF love YJY.

Why would Wu Fei not love the beautiful version of Ching Ling So?

Many online fans have been discussing this matter. With Gillian's CLS being so beautiful, why would WF have a reason not to love her?

Athena: Only YJY is able to understand WF's ways when fighting. WF still loves YJY towards the end. It's because when standing at a top spot, one will need a competitor. A good martial arts hero will need a capable person in order to speak through the mind.

Not to believe the rumors between Nie Yuan and Gillian but I personally sense offscreen chemistry Nie Yuan has towards Gillian.
Well, perhaps to our surprise, the duet could jump back into the charts next week.
Hm, hopefully, American Blockbusters will purchase and distribute 49 Days in its nationwide branch because seems like Blockbuster has a fetish for Asian horror films. The majority of Japanese to Korean horror films that were released in theatres have been stalking up on the shelves of local Blockbusters so since 49 Days was a successful hit in HK, it might land itself in American Blockbusters as well. I do pray that it does. It will promote the cast, the director, and HK Films.

The latest news of how Japanese brothels are using Gillian's image as lampposts! Um, I guess that is appalling but I find that quite hilarious. It probably won't damage Gillian's image much because Sa was involved in a similar form of advertisement and it didn't really negatively impact Sa's image (Hm, I wonder if Sa ever sued or what was the final result anyways?) plus fans that are supporting Gillian would at least know that it's false advertisement and probably won't even step foot in those places anyways but I guess, Gillian has to be more cautious now. Some psychotic perverts might misunderstand Gillian as being one of them. But if we look at the brighter side of things, at least Gillian's beauty can be considered as glamorous as Geishas (now that almost everyone in this world knows what Geishas are due to the movie), women who are labelled to be the most beautifully enchanting females existing. Plus, Gillian should go full force and sue those jerks for using her image in such dirty places and for free too! If she employs a witty and cunning Lawyer, Gillian could earn herself a lot perhaps even a whole year's worth of income.

If Twins do have their own solos in the upcoming Cantonese album, I do hope that Gillian will be singing a mix of fast and slow songs not just fast songs like how EEG arranged the concert. Gillian sounds great in both. Catchy fast songs are nice but I would also love to hear Gillian sing another original slow solo like My Father, Mother. During the concert, I really wanted to watch only Gillian singing a slow song because the cameras would have zoomed in on her from different angles, which was something the cameras couldn't do during her fast solos since she was constantly moving. I find myself watching the concert every night now. I just love how wonderful Gillian sounds in all of the songs. They are truly 99.9% like the CDs.
Wow, thanks Little_Purple_Bell for the translation. I haven't read it yet so I'll comment in a bit.

EDIT:

Gillian (Ching Ling So) in an intimate scene...wahaha!? That is definitely the ultimate scene I'm anticipating on watching and enjoying alongside the death scene of course. Thanks for the juicy interview. It really does clarify a lot of the speculations regarding the changes to the storyline. I thought that the reactions from fans especially those die-hard rigid fans of the novels would heavily criticize Gillian for being too beautiful to portray Ching Ling So, labelling her as a pretty face who can't act and eventually quit on the serial even before it releases but seems like everyone is actually cheering Wu Fei with Ching Ling So. Hopefully, the support will only continue to grow towards Gillian as Ching Ling So.

My personal impression of Athena wasn't too positive. She was a bit harsh and um, what's the word, uh snobby in her judgment of Ching Ling So and Mui Ruo Lan. It's like she has to praise her own character or something. I know that Gillian also expressed her love and admiration for her character but it didn't come out so arrogant and fake.

I'm surprised EEG actually permitted Gillian in participating in such an intimate scene that probably even surpasses the delicacy of a kiss. Do you think the directors purposely added more scenes of CLS just for Gillian? It does seem like the directors are very confident in promoting Gillian this time to a new audience and a new form of film, television rather than theatres.

It was funny how the director wouldn't spill the beans but Athena revealed the ending anyways. Was that even supposed to happen? Gillian with 5 different outifts?! Wow, that's a lot and good investment. And I'm super glad that Gillian out of everyone has more lines! That is definitely a first

As excited as I am for Gillian and her lead role in this serial, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everyone else will also fall in love with Gillian and the new adaption of CLS herself. Some people in other discussion forums have already expressed disappointments with the changes but hopefully when the serial releases, everything will change into a much brighter and successful era.
