About Gillian's name, not only does Gillian pronounce it "Jillian" but others do to when they announce her name even in HK but only if they're announcing her full name though.

Otherwise, here, incase you're still confused with everyone's answers.

Gillian ==> Jillian
Ah Gil ==> Ah Jil
Ah Gui ==> Ah Gui (the "G" as in girl)

I suppose, HK residents use "Ah Gui" since it's considered the Cantonese form of her name whereas other regions refer to Gillian as "Ah Gil" but seems like "Ah Gui" is much more popular and used among the majority of fans. Anyone can add if I'm incorrect. '

Anyways, I've been watching the trailer over and over, just the short Gillian parts of course,can't wait until I watch the entire crying scenes. Just by observing Gillian's short scenes, do you guys think she'll convince the audience with her portrayal of CLS excluding the crying scenes because we all already know what a pro Gillian is at dropping tears but the witty, emotional, and playful side of CLS? Since everyone is so afraid that the OVERqualified Gillian in terms of looks might ruin CLS's character. I thought she did a terrific performance at those sad scenes and as for the cute and cheerful scenes with Nie Yuan, um...I already know some people are going to criticize Gillian's smile as being fake and that is going to bias their judgment already. But let's all try to advertise Gillian online since like bluehearts said, it's quite unbelievable that some people are clueless about Gillian in a serial and the serial is almost ready for release considering that the unofficial trailer has been revealed for early promotions.

Go Gillian~

I just heard the interview that Little_Purple_Bell was talking about and I was kinda pissed. I mean the interview was 14 mintues long take 3 minute away from it because it played a song. So leaving 11 minute left. Charlene basically talked for 9 mintue and Gillian only talked for 2 minute about who's in the series and in the beginning where did she come back from....I harely heard Gillians voice for 5 minute..

9 minutes? About what...her films? I guess, we should automatically expect now that whenever Gillian is with Sa, the chances of hearing her speak are slim.

Well, hopefully, when the official promotions of the serial begins, Gillian will have another opportunity to thoroughly explain and describe details about the serial. '

It was a typical thing that Charlene would speak for most of the time, so I saved my complaints for it. When I got hold of the whole interview, I found that I actually connected to the server at a very good time because I actually connected to the live airing of it right when Gillian started to speak at the end. Do you guys notice that recently there is a time where Gillian does get to speak more than Charlene? It just pops right out at me when it comes because I'm not used to Gillian talking more than Charlene. Gillian gives most of the speech at the music award ceremonies now. I saw that happen at the IFPI Awards and it happened at the JSG Seasonal Awards as well. She would give the speech about thanking everyone, and then Charlene would just a few words afterwards, then they'd go perform. There was actually a time at the IFPI Awards where one award out of the three that they got was presented to Twins, and Gillian just gave the whole speech while Charlene didn't speak at all.

Remember when I mentioned earlier about how I don't understand why Charlene's solo films would affect Twins as a whole, no matter negative or positive, but Gillian's solo films never damage the image of Twins if it were to fail, so in the same way, it would only benefit Gillian as an individual if it were a success? I realize that it applies for singing as well. At JSG Seasonal Awards, Charlene was singing quite softly and she was still a bit shaky as she was at the IFPI Awards, (Yes, Charlene was singing softly, as in no attempts of overriding Gillian's voice, yet even softer than her normal singing voice.) and Gillian sang normally, a bit better than at the IFPI Awards actually, but then we get responses of how Twins were being shaky, about how they were singing so, so quietly, about how they were on the verge of being out of tune, and how they were rushing the song. ' I still wonder about that question; why is it that how Charlene does in acting/singing would affect Twins as a whole, yet whatever Gillian does never affects Twins as a whole?

I am seriously so so SO excited for Gillians series! She looks so gorgoeus and her acting looked really good from what I saw - Gill looks so pretty when she cries I just wish her costume color wasn't BLUE. I don't think Gillian looks bad in blue but it's not her best color either. I think Gillian looks heavenly in white though *sigh*

I love Gillian's eyes - but to the truth I like her lips more. Lol. I just think they have sucha nice shape, I am jealous, lol!

Edit: Oh, does the series come out on CCTV??? I think my satellite company might provide CCTV...Yup! It does! Oooh I might be ordering this channel then...if my parents will let me!

That is a situation I dread for Gillian. That's why when I was sharing my opinions about Twins' live singing at their 2006 concert earlier, I specifically attempted to distinguish their singing techniques to show that Gillian does sing better than Sa in slow songs at least. Of course, Sa has a strong stable voice but slow songs require rather a sweet and high pitch to beautifully convey the essence of slow songs, something Gillian obviously mastered but yet some people still criticize Gillian's voice as being weak as Gillian and Sa's voices were compared but you can't compare because Sa was singing such low notes while Gillian sang such high notes so of course, it'll seem like Gillian's voice was weaker and Sa's was stronger because lower notes are easier to grasp. GR! But Twins fans in general keep on insisting the idea that both Twins are either horrible singers together or have improved together which doesn't make much sense if you were to ask me. So I guess that is where the notion of Sa's overall performance whether it be in acting or singing impacts Twins as a whole. Whereas Gillian, if she made a few mistakes here and there, no one can associate Sa with the incident but like you said, if Sa sang shaky and a bit more quiet than usual, both Twins get penalized, which may not even be the case. Some people have criticized Twins of acting too cute in their films, but the majority of Gillian films, they're pretty serious content and only during a few occasions do we see Gillian break a smile or laugh even in Twins films. I'm glad that Gillian's performance doesn't affect Sa or Twins as a whole but people have to stop binding both Twins together when it only involves one, Sa. They're Twins but they shouldn't be obligated to share the same responsibilities. It's like Gillian can never be ahead of Sa in singing or acting for some reason or else a whole load of people begin complaining endlessly, that's why people, which I believe also consists of the majority of Twins fans, always label Twins together for bad reviews, which isn't very accurate nor fair for both. Um, it seems like whenever Sa makes a mistake, Gillian has to bear it too but somehow the vice versa notion doesn't work regarding this issue. Well, only towards praises. Like you said earlier about the Anthony Wong compliment about Gillian but it was blown out to be a comment on Twins. Anyways...I'm just rambling away. Today was such a boring day.

I notice how Gillian talked more on both of the awards show too. It's really weird and unusual that Charlene don't speak more than Gillian Seems like a lot of things are changing after Gillian's few solos where Gillian is having more opportunities!!

Yeah, it's so hard to understand of why certain people can't understand that though being a group, two people will not always, or how about rarely, improve or disimprove at the same time with the same amount. The singing situation is different than the acting situation, I guess; it actually seems like in singing, Gillian actually has to bear all the criticisms along with Charlene about Charlene's overall performance while Charlene gets to share the praises that Gillian receives about her singing. Charlene keeps the praises towards her to herself while Gillian has to keep the criticisms towards her to herself. The first two situations happen more often than the second two from what I've seen. For films, it's just a one way thing for both of them. Praises/Criticisms towards Charlene films = Praises/Criticisms towards Twins, but Praises /Criticisms towards Gillian films = Praises/Criticisms towards Gillian. Both the acting and singing situation is unfair to both of them. The only situation that seems reasonable out of all these is how Gillian films refer only to Gillian and not Twins, whether good or bad. If Charlene's films are being praised, Gillian should definitely not be taking part in the praises because she didn't do anything for it, and in the same way, there's no reason for Gillian to be penalized for the film if she didn't take part in it.

Could it be because Charlene had been the one who was more noticed back when Twins first debuted? Maybe that's why Twins fans can't rid themselves of the fact that both have come a long way with their career, and Gillian is no longer 'the other girl in Twins', but a well-known actress/singer herself? I'd have to say that Charlene had indeed been the more well-known Twin by EEG, the media, the fans, and the audeince when Twins first debuted since she had been filming movies along with releasing CDs as Twins, but that's no longer the case. Twins are close to being even now with who and what they have sticking up for them, right? Charlene still has EEG and most of the media by her side, but Gillian managed to win over the hearts of many fans and audiences and part of the media, therefore becoming the more popular 'Twin', despite the biased issue by EEG. The biased issue is slightly getting better now gradually and Gillian's popularity is getting obvious, but there are details that won't be changed. On JSG, Twins fans will still always call out, "Charlene! Gillian!" (On JSG, those fans are usually fans from fanclubs, so they blow a whistle, and everyone has to call the names of both members, but it is otherwise when there are no specific rules. ie. The 2006 Concert.), but it never will be the other way around, though even magazines/newspapers/online websites are slowly switching things around. We're starting to see 'Gillian' written before 'Charlene', and we see 'Chung Yan Tung' printed off before 'Choi Cheuk Yin'. Well, I suppose we can't exactly blame those fans because they may just be very hardcore TWINS fans, so they think that Charlene and Gillian just have to move at the same pace for everything? '

The more of how I think of it, I think it was actually a beneficial thing that EEG did for once for Gillian to let her take on the role of CLS in "Flying Fox Of The Snowy Mountain". Mainland is just going through the same thing that HK did five years ago, with Charlene being the more well-known Twin, for Charlene has many films screening in Mainland and to the regular audience, she is indeed more well-known. Many of Gillian's solo films have actually been restricted to screen in Mainland, like 49 Days was restricted to screen; that had affected the total accumulated box office results of 49 Days since it was only screened in HK, and none of the other places in Mainland . But with 'Flying Fox' on her hands, Gillian can now easily enter the residences of the people who don't step foot in theatres and capture their hearts with her abilities.



Yeah, that's why I noticed it right away because it was so atypical to see that to occur! I'm so glad that things are getting better for Gillian after her solos; hopefully, she'll be able to shed the 'weak voice' label. Good changes are heading towards Gillian's way.

i tot her name was pronouned as gill-lian..its the same as jill-lian somehow..
but i tot g-lian was nicer heehee ^^





what interview was that? hee mind sharing?

i also have no idea wad was that interview. does anyone mind uploading it?

I'm watching "49 Days" right now and Gillian so cute in the beginning with her father argueing...and I like the part when she's with the little girl. So cute! I'm up to the part where they were suppose to kiss.... the interview I'll find it

Edited: This movie is sooo good! But I don't really get it when the part when Gillian fell down in the hole and starting then she was dreaming until she woke up?

Gillian looks gorgeous in her new series. She shines even though her clothes aren't as pretty lol. I think she would gain immense popularity as soon as the series is released. Seems like her character is getting a lot of support! Perhaps it's like Ruby Lin's princess character in DOMD2000, they changed her character so it's a lot more interesting, and she became the favorite and popular wife for the audience. She was also the one that has the tragic ending too lol. Hope Gillian's character and performance would be as memorable and popular!

hmm...To me I would refer Gillian as 'Gil'lian.....as in fish gills. I think a majority of people call her 'Jill'ian though, including herself haha. I think Jillian sounds better, but I think it's because of her chinese name....ah giu....and it sounds like ah 'gill' (fish gill)....so I tend to think of it as 'Gil'lian. If I ever meet her and call her by that name, I wonder if she would ignore me? lol

In 49 Days i hate the part when Gill is in the prison the first time because the prisoner lick her cheek!!!!
is she for real or another person ???
I hate this man who lick her cheek,hope it isn't her!!!

Hm, that is something I completely disagree about and I didn't want to further clash with jadedreams27 in the Sa thread about this issue so I stopped responding.When Twins first debuted, both weren't the most talented singers nor the most convincing actresses so both were judged solely on their looks just like how everyone expected because that was when EEG officially promoted artists with good looks instead of talents or at least they finally made a successful attempt to with Twins.Both Twins were unknown models prior to the formation of Twins and just a few acting roles wouldn't have been the trigger for Sa's more popular image when more than 90% of Twins fans didn't even know about Sa's small film features until way later when Twins were already recognized in mainstream HK. HK sort of automatically perceives beauty as a threat of some kind; thus, immediately labelled Gillian as the less talented one while Sa with her average looks was expected to exceed Gillian, the prettier one. Ironically, Gillian's rare and unique beauty struck the HK media as a threat and at the same time, curiousity, which explains why Gillian was surveillanced at every moment by desperate reporters prepared to make news about this talentless pretty face but also loved and adored for such beauty thus receiving endless praises regarding her stunning looks; Gillian's presence was a bitter-sweet mystery. People simply couldn't and still cannot resist talking about Gillian.


This is where I diverge. Ever since the beginning, Twins were never treated fairly. Most promotions and opportunities were granted towards Sa and rarely did Gillian receive any under Sa's shadows EEG had shaded her with but how can EEG quickly conclude that Sa was the more popular one out of Twins thus bestowing the majority of opportunites to her when half of Twins fans couldn't quite distinguish who was who then? People or shall I say fans were supportive of EEG's actions not because Sa was quote on quote the more popular one but rather because Twins was a newly formed duo that fans in particular were charmed by and they basically avoided situations that would disband the two girls apart even if at the expense of Gillian.

Sa had better roles and a much stronger cast in her films, which always promoted her acting career versus Gillian, who just recently received leading roles with a decent cast. Gillian has always had a pretty hefty and concentrated fanbase but now with Gillian's improving live singing and public recognition of transforming into a true actress, fans actually have much more to add to her profile than just the typical compliment of "Gillian is pretty but Sa is a better actress." Even when fans stated that "Sa is the better actress," fans admitted that both Twins were still bad singers and even though Sa was usually perceived to be the better actress of the two, they still favored Gillian more due to her looks; sadly but true.

EEG has always promoted Sa to be the more popular and favored one but that wasn't the result. Gillian was quite popular perhaps even more than Sa ever since the beginning of Twins but because Gillian's popularity was based on appearance rather than talent, the gap and competition between Twins wasn't as intense as it is now especially when Gillian officially broke her "vase" image in acting as Blue Bird in Twins Effect II and has stepped onto quite a tantamount platform or perhaps higher due to her portrayal of different roles in different box office hits.

It is a huge threat to Sa and her fans because now Gillian is much more than just a stiff pretty face next to Sa in photoshoots and cute music videos but she has advanced quite a bit. The bias treatment was working in favor of Sa, stalling Gillian's career in both industries. But to everyone's surprise, the film projects that were tossed to Gillian were successful breakthroughs that no one really expected versus the higly invested film projects EEG promoted Sa in but came out short; yet, we still read newspapers announcing Sa's breakthrough roles in almost every film she participates in because that is a reminder that, "Hey, Gillian can't possibly be more recognized than Sa, that's not how it was supposed to flow." If that wasn't the case then why on earth would EEG reject such a good role on behalf of Gillian when she didn't request them to and wasn't even busily unavailable to film that movie, Abnormal Beauty but yet accept a similar role for Sa in Delusion? Makes me wonder.Twins fans in general want to believe that if both Twins are placed together in every area then the disbanding won't occur but they don't realize that both are two different individuals who are growing stronger and stronger solo; both Twins cannot be contained under one name now; it's much more of Gillian as Gillian and Sa as Charlene. Anyways, let's just say, if the bias treatment was indeed successful even in the past, then Gillian wouldn't still be standing here today but Twins would have already been disbanded a while back just like how Boy'z couldn't survive together resulting in a solo Kenny.


Um, I suppose that wasn't Gillian. I'm guessing, if Gillian can't even share an onscreen kiss, most definitely, the licking is beyond a peck on the check they erased from the film.

Aw, all this chit chat about 49 Days makes me want to watch it too now.

^On the other hand, while Gillian may be getting more recognition as an actress, Charlene's looks have recently been getting a lot more praise too. It sort of bugs me that people act like EVERYONE thinks Gillian is prettier, cause it's all just perception, yeah? Some people percieve Gillian to be prettier, some Sa, it's all just preference. I do agree that MORE people percieve Gillian as being pretty cause she has the features that are considered universally pretty - big round eyes, full lips, tall nose, etc. While Sa's face is more unique in the beauty relm as her eyes aren't terribly big (but they aren't small either), a flat nose and sort of thin lips, yet she still is pretty despite the fact that her features aren't "ideal." So yeah, I think Gillian's looks are generally more accepted as being beautiful while with Sa, not everyone can see her beauty (and blessed be the ones who can ) But I don't think Gill fans feel threatened by Sa becoming prettier do they? I know I don't feel threatened by Gill, I am happy for her getting more recognition.

But....if Sa didn't get this so-called bias treatment towards Sa when they first began (and I don't know much about it since I wasn't a Twins fan until after their Evolution album was released), would Sa still be around? You say it's not fair what EEG does to Gill, but at the same time it wasn't fair that Gillian was more popular than Sa just cause she's "prettier." If this bias treatment kept Twins together, then I am happy.. Regardless of what stupid EEG's plans were, I rather would have Gill face the bias treatment AND overcome it rather than not having Twins around together. Cause I like them best together...

But why does everything always have to be such a competition for Twins? Why can't we just be happy that Gill has so many loyal fans and that Sa has a lot of opportunities for her? Obviously, if Gill has so much more fans, she doesn't needs the extra opportunities, yeah? You guys don't want Sa to disapear do ya? Cause from some of the things I read here (and maybe I percieved them wrong which could be true) makes it seems like if Sa wouldn't have gotten the "extra" opportunities and promotions then she wouldn't be in the entertainment industry today and Gill would be thriving. Seems to me Gillian is already thriving without the extra promotions...I mean people talk about how unfair it is to Gill, but it's just as unfair to Sa that she does not get as much support from fans as Gill does just cause of her looks. So this is why I don't like to focus on EEG's treatment of Twins cause no one focuses on the public treatment of Twins and how unfair that is. I would rather just be happy for both Twins cause they are both astronomically (is that a word?) successful

I know people are gonna misinterpet what I said, so I would like to make a disclaimer now: In no way am I dissing Gillian in the above post, nor am I saying what EEG did was FAIR...

Just wanna ask you guy some question...Who is the female lead that series?Gillian or Ady?Hope Gill 'caus she is more popular..And IS Gil act as an ugly girl in this series?Because my sister told me that there is a girl that always follow Nie Yuan..What is Anthena's role?

*SPOILERS*
The things that happened after Gillian fell into the ditch wasn't a dream. Gillian's soul came out of her body when she fell and hit her head; therefore, it resulted in a coma form of Gillian with her body physically. The events of how she met up with Stephen and went back to Stephen's home happened with Stephen's ghost and Gillian's soul. That was why she suddenly appeared back in her bedroom when discovering the body in the tank; it was because her soul went back to her body and she came out of her coma. It was also made clear at the end when Stephen's daughter was telling him of how she knew he was dead and could only see him when there's a candle lit in the room; they showed a flashback from the beginning, showing of how there was no one there at first, but Stephen and Gillian suddenly came out of nowhere due to the light from the candle.


But when Twins debuted, wasn't that the time of where the biased issue was the worst of all times? Gillian had basically nothing to do outside the label of Twins except that she was invited by Jackie Chan to host the 'Making Of' of his new film while Charlene had films to work on. I suppose I guess more popular wasn't the right phrase to use to describe how Charlene was when Twins first debuted, but I mean that she was the one more noticed for her career, like favoured more about her achievements in the entertainment industry, sort of thing? The media sure loved talking about Gillian, I'm aware of that, but it was mostly about rumours. The big chaotic matter with Edison-Gillian-Shawn? Yes, I bet no one can forget about that. Gillian frequently pops up on magazine covers about these things, but it's mean how she wasn't noticed for her career. I agree of how you explained the past situation with Twins; it's all about stereotyping by HK. An artiste is always automatically demoted to being talentless if you have a pretty face, and the 'less pretty' one always has more talent, according to the fellow HK citizens.


EEG didn't have to conclude that Charlene was the more popular one; they just simply liked her more out of the two members in Twins. There were fans who spoke out for the biased issue when Twins first debuted, so I'm sure there were some fans who weren't supportive of the biased issue. Back when Twins first debuted, there were fans who made a huge protest online to the point where the media reported on it. The fans were protesting of how EEG is biased towards Charlene and leaving Gillian out. I don't know why nothing really happened in the end because obviously the protest didn't help much with biased issue, though with the huge commotion, as the biased treatment still exists to this present day.





Actually, neither Gillian nor Ady is the first female lead; Athena is. Gillian's role CLS is supposed to be a plain looking girl, in the novel version of the series anyway. I don't know if or how things will be different in this version.

I guess, this is one of the highlighting reasons why Twins fans aren't as united as before. Sa fans actually do support the bias treatment so that their favorite one out of Twins can continue to shine alone under the so called name Twins whereas Gillian fans have actually endured far more than enough to want to stop this bias treatment that has limited Gillian in so many ways.

How can anyone view Gillian's beauty as being an unfair attribute in popularity?That is Gillian; she was naturally blessed with pretty features. So do we have to strip Gillian of her opportunities just based on the fact that Sa doesn't receive as much attention or support from fans who idolize pretty figures? I know that you wouldn't be as supportive of this bias treatment if Sa had to sacrifice a few of her grand opportunities just for the sake of Gillian. The support from fans is an element that varies, which shouldn't even be included in the picture of competition between Twins. If the bias treatment had indeed been successful, Gillian would have ceased to exist in ET industry but as long as Sa succeeds correct? When you refer to Twins remaining as Twins, Sa is the one who has more advantages so how is that in any way beneficial to Gillian when she has to live under someone else's shadows her entire career? I don't know why Twins are Twins when Sa seems to be receiving all of the spot light abandoning Gillian as the talentless major eyecandy doll.

In a fluctuating career such as singing and acting, opportunities are the most crucial and essential ingredient to success. Appearance will not always shield Gillian from cruel remarks and heavy judgment. Even until today, Gillian is still battling a war of criticisms on her acting and singing, which have tremendously improved but to some, will never achieve satisfaction based on the initial stereotype of being pretty. If Gillian keeps receiving minor characters and dull roles just to pave way for Sa's acting success then wouldn't Gillian quickly fade? But it's not like EEG thoroughly chose Gillian's recent roles anyways, they just tossed Gillian something to portray in the meantime, but fortunately, became decent hits.

I don't wish for Sa to disappear but I do wish for Twins to be Twins on a balanced platform. Competition is bound to happen sooner or later; actually, it already began ever since Twins was formed. I don't wish to see Sa or Gillian stall one or the other's career just because of popularity issues. Sa and Gillian will never share the same amount of popularity or support from fans and there shouldn't be any cheating hands involved either. If 5-6 years of top-notch promotions towards Sa and she's still trailing behind in terms of popularity and recognition then perhaps there is much more to Gillian than just the pretty appearance like several Gillian Fans have discovered. If 5-6 years of top-notch promotions invested towards Sa and yet she still trails behind in popularity and support from fans then perhaps, it wasn't necessary to state how unfair it is for Sa that Gillian has more fans/support based on her looks. Of course, beauty is what initially attracted fans but it was Gillian's true charming personality that sustained their interest, support, and loyalty.

I wish Gillian could have followed the footsteps of Cecilia since she is known to be one of the prettiest HK actresses. When Cecilia emerged, people were so critical of her beauty=no talent but within a few films, she quickly became of the most successful drama Queens. Her roles were quite challenging and daring too, which pushed her to the top amongst all of the other older actresses. If only Gillian began portraying roles like BOK then, she could have quickly eliminated her name as one of the fakest actresses of HK. The bias treatment was predominantly visible in Twins' beginning days and have lessened, now that Gillian has established herself as Gillian Chung in both arenas. I don't know why HK residents believe in that silly cliche.


Yeah, I remember. There were articles and newspapers printing out the bias treatment, which gained a lot of awareness and publicity but I guess, the case never really went anywhere since Twins fans were so united back then, they didn't really support a disbandment of Twins so they had to accept the bias treatment. The bias treatment has only lessened not because the authorities of EEG all of sudden adored Gillian for her dedication and hard work but rather because they're planning on splitting Twins for further money milking. I guess, EEG never really planned on promoting Gillian solo but hey, why not? She's a pretty successful individual now and even without all of the extra promotions too. They didn't invest much as expected but gained awfully well.

Just want to respond to the unfair treatment posts. Even my older sister which isn't a Twins fan will critize both. Like she want to watch my Twins concert 2006 and she would say stuff about Gillian and I would be like shut up your not watching it anymore and she don't get to watch it. Then when I actually let her watch it she herself even says that in the costume Char would show me skin and talk more and Gill would be covered up. Well just wanted to say that..so shes not on none side she not even a fan of theirs.

And about another thing was today we was watching 49 Days and after it finished both of my sister said it was the best movie so far they watched of Gillian..hehe

I understand of how you ask why everything always has to be a competition between Twins; sometimes I wonder of that as well. Then again, in the showbiz, competition is something that cannot be avoided, even being under a single group like Twins. At other times, Twins do stick together. I simply can't agree with stating that since Gillian has more fans and popularity, she won't need extra opportunities. Like asillysaint said, support of fans is something that will always vary, so forcing Gillian to stall her career at all angles for Charlene, labelled as the 'less' pretty Twin' by majority, to receive all the extra opportunities to keep her career going is nowhere close to a good thing, even if it is an element that keeps Twins together. No one in the right mind would like to live under another's shadows forever; Gillian and her fans have endured it for 5-6 years now.

A pretty look cannot always save an artiste; at other times, it could kill him/her because of the stereotyping of pretty face = talentless in HK. In some ways, Gillian actually needs to prove herself even more than Charlene does because of her beauty. There had been many remarks of Charlene being the better actress ever since Twins debuted, and Gillian always had to take on the name of being a vase; it hadn't been until these recent times that she's had a few opportunities to shed the title and show that she can acts as a fighting girl with a bold heart, or a broken hearted girl full of vengeance.

Of course I don't want Charlene to fade, though I highly doubt that it would happen. She's had the huge promotions for years now, yet her popularity is still behind Gillian, her supposed 'shadow', but she's still here accepting many great opportunities, and EEG still wants to let her 'appear' as the more popular Twin by doing things that are in their power. If Gillian continues to be hiding away, I'm afraid that even with the huge fanbase, Gillian would end up being the one to fade. Seriously, doesn't it mean something towards EEG that Gillian can still come out on top, despite being secondary for everything in their eyes?


It would probably have caused a bigger impact on the biased treatment if that protest had happened now, or earlier when we were initially discussing the biased issue. Money is EEG's no. 1 priority afterall; I wonder if they could do more considering because obviously, the case for Gillian is invest < gain, and that sounds like a really nice financial bargain. EEG should be the ones most clear on what each Twin can do if the split does occur in the near future. *sigh* I just hope everything goes well for Gillian in the future, and Charlene as well, despite the awful tricks that EEG often has up their sleeve.

You guys know what? I just heard this from another Gillian fan at another forum; it turns out that TVB didn't make a mistake on its magazine about the JSG thing. Kenny and Gillian's appearance on JSG was actually cancelled last minute; therefore, the magazine printed that out, but the guests weren't they. That's also why 'Conscience Discovery' fell from the charts; it's because Kenny and Gillian didn't attend JSG.

Thats wrong!!! I mean they canceled there performance and it's going off the list??!! Thats plain stupid!!!

don't some manip of gillian..put her in some ancient custome..not great but did try can't wait to see her that new series...saw some pictures..and it look great...hmm wondering if she gill be doing some konfu moves .....

I guess, the bias treatment will never end but will only lessen until Gillian finds herself a more just company like Eason. I bet EEG regrets neglecting Eason; he has obviously rejuvenated his singing career, won several awards, held a concert, and has only continued to succeed. It seems like the artists placed under the indirect branch of EEG like Music Plus are usually the artists EEG doesn't plan to promote or invest much towards. Grace Yip is planning a comeback; wonder how EEG will feel if she was to succeed brightly. EEG has lost several of their talented artists already due to their poor prediction and judgment on who to promote and who to trash/freeze; they can't afford to lose anymore so hopefully they realize that underpromoting Gillian is like shooting themselves on the foot.

Aw, that stinks. Cancelled at the last minute? It's all politics I tell you. I don't think Kenny nor Gillian was attending any function of activity that important to cancel the live duet?

Just watched the JSG clip posted at TC. Hm, Gillian's outfit was wonderfully cute. I wish Gillian would dress up like that more often and she performed so well. As for Sa, her voice cracked towards the end during the high part of the song (the chorus) and that's what happens when she doesn't lower the notes and attempts to sing the original high notes. When Twins were singing together, it just didn't flow right. I think Sa sounds better this way, softer but she really needs more practice on the high notes of the chorus.

EEG really needs to rethink their strategy skills of who to promote; Eason expressed, after he left EEG, that a reason of why he left is because EEG kept making him film movies when his major interest and abilities are with singing. He said that his singing career was stalled for over half of a year because of filming producing. It seems as though the only good decision EEG made was the one of promoting Joey, although it wasn't fair that EEG had neglected Lillian Ho, Grace Yip, and Bondy Chiu while doing so; they were decent singers as well. EEG's gotta smarten up soon about the decisions they make. If they did earlier, I'd say they would have way more talented singers under their management and be making a lot more money than now. Right now, they're basically just depending on Joey and Twins, so we could see why they're considering splitting Twins to see if they can get three sets of salaries to get their commission from, rather than just two sets. I just can't help but think that Gillian would be less pressured and wouldn't have to deal with so many biased issues if she's the next person deciding to leave EEG. Although it would be nice for Gillian to escape EEG, Gillian doesn't seem like a person who would do so; she seems like the kind of person who would stay loyal to that company because they were the ones who brought her out, despite the treatment she has to endure.

I don't think either of them were doing anything at all that night. Kenny didn't have any functions, and Gillian only had one radio interview with Charlene, which was in the morning. Even if they had some behind-the-scene work to do that night, I'm sure it'd be flexible enough for them to spare one hour out to perform. Believe it or not, I think it was more or less EEG's doing. TVB had the heart to invite Kenny and Gillian, and that's shown by seeing them print out their names on the TVB magazine, but EEG had never posted that function out on the schedule section of the EEG site. Well, I'm gonna keep my hopes up for the duet until this coming Wednesday; if it can pop back on the chart, I'll be happy that I did keep my hopes up, and if it doesn't, then my hopes can just die from there, and I'll start hoping that there'll be another good singing opportunity coming for Gillian.

No, see, I think you misunderstood my post a little. It's understandable because I have a hard time writing down my thought coherently and making them make sense. I don't neccisarily SUPPORT this bias treatment, of course I would rather have Twins given equal opportunities. I think all of us would. And I don't think it's unfair that Gillian is so beautiful, I only think that the public is unfair by judging someone because of it. They cannot help that at all, while when it comes to singing and acting, you can always improve, but looks are (for the most part) permanent. You say Gillian suffers from negative comments about her acting and singing, and the same thing applies to Charlene: a lot of people still few her as a terrible actress who always play the same roles, and she is often criticised for her looks. Gillian too may get flamed for her looks but honestly, the only time that happens for the most part is from bitter Sa fans who take things to the extreme. Any person with any sense at all can recognise that Gill is a pretty girl. If the bias treatment would have succeeded, then no, I wouldn't even remotely support it. As much as I love Sa, I love Gill NEARLY as much. I know it's hard to see because I come in here and it seems I am so against everything you Gillian fans say, but honestly, I do love Gill, and above all, I love TWINS. But, and here's the key thing, if it took those extra promotions to keep Twins together (and I don't care about EEG
s intent, it's the result that matters to me), then I can't complain too much. Of course, I didn't know much about Twins when the majority of this bias thing took place, so I can't feel yout pain. All I can do is concentrate on the present and the future. The past is past, I am thankful EEG's so-called plans didn't succeed (which is really just speculation, right? I am not saying you are wrong or right). Both of them seem to have a big slice of "success pie" to me currently, and that's what I am gonna focus on. Alright? So I am nto going to discuss this much further, only reply to someone if they have a question or comment...

Yeah I was thinking the same thing too! EEG! I think EEG didn't want Gillian to go without Charlene since I think Charlene is free right now right? Done filming in Thai so yeah. EEG... grr!!!! Yeah TVB was nice enough to invite them but noo... it had to be cancel and if they did went I bet it could of went up the chart instead of getting kicked off. But I'm hoping like you that it will come back on the chart and then invite them again.. and no matter what EEG says I hope they still go!!!



Is the first one her? I mean it look so real! And the second one was that suppose to be Rain Li in LWVB? Wow! Looks real but kinda weird! Lol love the first one



Yeah I just saw it too...Yeah for Char her voice did crack. First it was nice when Gillian was singing first and then when Char joined it ruined it. Their voices.. but when Char sang alone it was alright expect her voice is too high only if she sang it lower it would be better... so when both was singing both voices were messes when singing together. But it could be because they didn't sing this song in a long time and didn't practice it

Well no, Charlene tried singing her part at the high note that Kindergarten was supposed to be this time, so I don't think she sang too high. She made an attempt to sing at the right note, so that's a good start for her. I think Gillian did well at the beginning for the first verse as well; things started falling apart when they joined up together for the second verse. I don't know if it's because they haven't sung together for a while that it sounded so messy since they sang together at the IFPI Awards, and it didn't sound as messy as they did this time. They didn't have many chances to sing together before IFPI Awards either.

The first manipulation looks real and nice but the Rain Li one turned out a bit awkward. Gillian looks upset. Ah, oh how I disliked Rain in that serial. Michelle<3!


Hm, I hate EEG's mentality. Lillian, Grace, and Bondy were decent singers that were much better and more talented than the current set of females EEG is promoting like Yumiko, Isabella, and yes, Mandy. Lillian, Grace, and Bondy's names are so foreign to the current market now ever since EEG decided to promote others while leaving them out but still under a soul binding contract that did them more harm than good. I guess, Lillian, Grace, and Bondy disobeyed EEG's strict laws about dating thus causing them their singing careers but that's quite harsh.

I would rather support artists who aren't fake about their personal life like Eason who has always exposed his dating life; therefore, he didn't have to make up lies just cover up rumors about certain pictures or he doesn't always have to smile in front of cameras just to make himself appear bubbly. Eason has always been quite crazy and silly but he has never done anything that absurd or abnoxious; he's just extremely blunt and I believe that is one of the reasons why fans adore him and also the fact that he can sing pretty well too of course. Eason is strictly Eason for music, not for acting opportunities nor the wish of being idolized, just pure music purposes; that's why I like Eason. I also believe that Gillian is straight foward like that too. She has remained quiet ever since the beginning in comparison to other stars and has continued to show these quiet traits knowing that perhaps a bubbly character is what the public idolizes but yet she still hasn't changed for anyone. That is what I love about Gillian. Gillian may talk more now but she's still the same old Gillian who displays what is necessary and doesn't reveal excess stuff just to gain attention. Passion towards music once stirred within Nic but now, seems like he's trying too hard to please others thus losing himself, which explains why fans have lost interest in him. The popular Nic every girl screamed at used to be such an intriguing talented bad boy but now, just an emotional drama king everyone wishes to stomp on lol especially in The Promise and A Tall Chinese Story; seriously, I did.

It's odd that the current rising group of EEG artists who receive promotions are all single? And EEG artists are known to be talentless good looking idols? How can they remain single when they're so good looking? Anyways, EEG is pretty serious about this whole no-dating ordeal. Almost every star who has been involved in a lot of love rumors have been cut off dry. Anyways, I do hope that Gillian will only continue to receive recognition and success for everything she does and has been working towards.

I understand. At times, I become a bit offensive for being over protective of Gillian; hopefully, I didn't chase you away? '

More photos from 'Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain':

Oh haha nah you didn't chase me away XD I wasn't upset I was just done discussing that topic

I LOVE the new pictures of Gill. The release date of this drama has not been said yet, right?

Thanks for the pics Little_Purple_Bell...

Um.. for the channel it's going to show on is it CCTV 4?

Wow! More pics of Gill! She looks great! And there's actually a pic of Gill and Athena together! Do you guys think they look similar now? I think they look like sisters with Gill being the younger sis! lol

By the way, who is the main male character? Does anyone have a pic of him?

Thanks for the new pics Purple Bell! They're really nice, I especially like the last picture.

I also think that Gillian looks like a younger version of Athena. They seem to have the same height too. hehe..







The main male character is Nie Yuan.

Here are 2 pictures of him, in modern and ancient clothes.

That's good; I guess, I'm done with that issue too.

Nope, not yet. The release date is nearing I presume since the crew are just wrapping up on some scenes of WF and MRL.


Thanks for more lovely pictures of Gillian!

I guess Gillian isn't that short like some people claim eh considering that Gillian is equate to Athena's height. So many photos of Gillian released. Gillian and Athena do resemble each other. Hm, Athena seems to be aging quite slowly. '

Anyways, I know that most of you guys already saw these pictures at TC or somewhere else but these are such wonderful photos of Gillian, they're worth reposting and enjoying. Gillian during JSG 2006 Round 1. I cannot say enough how much I love Gillian's outfit that night. Gillian presented herself differently, quite uniquely, maturely, and so trendy.






We need some more eye candy!

Thanks for the pics. Nie Yuan looks very handsome, but I think he looks better in ancient haha...just like Raymond Lam.

Athena is quite short too, I think she's about 5'2 or shorter. So I think Gill and her have about the same height in real life.

And with ancient films, you can always stand on rocks. I remember I saw a k100 special where they show Charmaine, standing on a rock gettin ready to act with Joe Ma, because he's so tall. They just don't film the bottom part I guess haha....all the focus on the upper part of the body lol.

Btw, I love Gill's hair in the above pictures. Very elegant and pretty.

I think I may have read a misleading profile that stated Athena's height as 5'4. Oh well. Gillian's 5'3 anyways, not much of a difference.

Hm, true...both Nie Yuan and Ray look better in ancient clothing. When they wear modern regular clothes, they look weird and out of era for some reason. Well, it could be the hair since both have really short hair. They just need to grow out their hair longer so they can resemble their ancient forms.

I agree. Nie Yuan look so much more handsome in ancient..maybe it's the hair..hehe..(exception on here, I wish it's more straight)....You should try the Chinese Ghost Story. Nie Yuan was so handsome there and I love the character he played, Qi Ye.


The inside black top that Gillian's has for JSG 2006 Round 1, it look so familiar, did she wore that on another show/function before? The reason, I sorta remember it was bc I really like it. haha.. Anyways, I though both Twins look great that night. Mature in a nice way. I really hope that their new album will have more mature songs.

Yeah, I remember Gillian wearing a similar top too, which could be the same one but I'm not so sure because this top seems to have more ruffles than the other transparent black top she wore to a previous event that I can't find a name to either. Hm, hopefully, Twins upcoming Mandarin album will have more songs like No Tears in Moscow even though that was a remade version of Next Stop Diva but I still enjoyed it. I loved how both of their voices synchronized together and also the solo verses. Gillian sounds like she's coughing out blood and sorrow in this song, so passionate and lovely plus I love their music videos. They aren't as cheap and rushed like their Canto songs.

Qi Ye<3! He was quite charming huh? I actually liked Da S in this serial which is a surprise now that I think of it. Anyways, Nie Yuan looks better with this set of curly hair versus Qi Ye's even though both hairstyles are curly but hm, Wu Fei's curls seem a bit less permed.

As much as Nie Yuan is decent as Wu Fei; I wish Sunny could have participated again as Wu Fei for this version because I love Sunny but oh well, since he has aged a lot ever since the TVB 1999 version anyways. He probably won't look as strong, heroic, and as fit as Nie Yuan now not that he ever did. Sunny is just cute and handsome to me. '

Thank for sharing these pictures!!

So pretty!! Compared with Athena's outfit, Gillian's is really pretty. Athena's outfit is too "clumsy" and looks pretty heavy. Athena does look a lot like Gillian. Gillian is just like a younger and cuter verison of her...lolx..



I remember seeing this outfit before. I think it's from the IFIP awards...Let me go check....yea, it looks like the one from the IFIP awards:



O well, it's matches alot with her outfit though...lolx..Really cute and trendy!! Unlike a lot of her outfits, if she wear this outside, it wouldn't be awkward!!

Oh. Thanks for pointing out the event. I was too lazy to search through my pictures. I guess the black top matches with both the black loose pants and lovely skirt but I love the skirt more considering that it looks more trendy and less messy.

For some reason, the black top is much more appealing and pretty with the overall suit worn during JSG Round 1; the blazer just brings out the beauty of the top. Anyways, hopefully, Gillian does wear something similar and unique at events more often. Gillian's public outfits haven't been the most enticing pieces of fashion lately. And boy, I wish Gillian can lose the curly hair already! I miss her straight hair days and I'm dying to see how long her hair is now straighten since Sa's hair is quite lengthy now from recent pictures. '

Gillian looks absolutely gorgeous and really pretty with straight hair even when it's all over her face; straight hair somehow compliments her face more than curly hair. The curly hair is either too jelled and stiff, too glossy, or just too huge of form which makes Gillian's appearance look a bit . I would rather that Gillian choose the Ching Ling So hairstyle with the big braid but nice front than this curly hair of either let loose or tied in some kind of rushed ponytail.

Gillian should regress back in looking like the "Double Lost Valentine MV", her was straight, long, black, and some streaks of color should blend in.

I think the blazer complimented the top too!! Her overall outfit complimented Gillian too!! Lolx...I wonder why her fashion wasn't that great these days...Who dresses Gillian anyways. I think Gillian needs to get a another dresser with better fashion

Yup, straight, long hair looks great on Gillian!! Makes her look so pretty; more mature and girly. I bet her hair is up to her mid-back already considering she hasn't cut it for a while and before she curled her hair, it was already past her shoulders. I think Gillian's hair grow really fast. I think the length of her hair she got in "Double Lost Valentine MV" only took like a few months to grow from her shoulder length hair. I think that's pretty fast.

Yeah, Gillian's hair does grow quite fast but then again, there are so many pictures of Twins with short, long, medium hair length that we really don't know what is their most current or at the moment hairstyle unless a recent function. For example, I didn't think Sa's hair was that long up until pictures were taken of the radio show and the JSG Round 1 Event; well, I guess because Sa has been outside HK for a while now but even then, some fans shared some personal photos of Sa at TC while in Thailand filming and her hair under the cap didn't appear that long but I love Sa's new hair do though, looks great.

Even though Ching Ling So's hair is a bit permed with teeny tiny patterns, it's still way better than Athena's weird hairstyle.

Straighten the hair already! Wonder why EEG won't allow Gillian to change the hairstyle yet when it's already approaching half a year since that poofy curly phase and seems like Sa's not obligated to maintain those curls either. I mean, both Twins began the year off with curly hairstyles so since Sa has gone straight so should Gillian because both Twins should resemble each other right? Hm, and wonder why Twins don't wear matching or identical wardrobes anymore? They would look so cute together.

Gillian had striaght hair while filming 49 Days. I brought the DVD verison and it had the about 49 Days and it showed them at a table talking about how to film it and Gillian had long striaght hair looking so pretty with Stephen besides her

just knew tt 49 days is out on vcd in singapore!! yay! am going to buy it tmr!!

I didn't think they look anything alike before, but now that I've seen a picture of them together they do resemblance each other...but I just can't point out what make them look alike. Maybe their eyes?
Anyways thanks for sharing the pics, both of them look pretty there.


I remember she had extensions back then, (during the time when 'Magic' was released) that's why her hair seemed like it had grown incredibly fast in such a short period of time.


Gillian had straight hair in '49 days' because it was filmed last year. It was not until the end of 2005 or the beginning of 2006 that she changed to curly.

Yea, I remember that too but she had it around the time of the "Double Lost Valentine" MV too?? I thought that was her real hair since usually her extensions were highlighted....hmm....

aahw gill looks soo beautiful! But i have watch 49 days, it's a bit diapointed me, i mean not gill acting but the storyline, it's soo boring (srry, my opnion!) I like House of fury better!

^^ Lol 49 Days just got on my Gillian favorite movie list. But something I really liked in 49 Days was when Gillian peed and made the bats come out and when they went back home her and her father was arguing and Steven was trying to defend her. I liked the way her voice sounded when she was yelling.. sounded like a kid. Lol

I'm already making a list of films I want to purchase from Yesasia but I have to wait until my list exceeds the 40-50 dollar value in order to get free shipping.

1. 49 Days: Gillian<3!!
2. My KungFu Sweetheart: Cecilia<3!!

I'm glad to see Gillian portray a solo bubbly role for once. But from the pictures of 49 Days, Gillian has her hair up the entire film, which makes her appear a bit more mature than usual but I guess, a lawyer needs to be serious right?

I'm so lazy to finish my EG MV. I've been slowly working on it for 2 weeks now. But I'm glad that the EG Craze and Fever has been revived at youtube and all forums.

^^^ Oo.. why won't you add uh... The Colour Of Truth.. I haven't seen that yet. I wanted to buy Moving Targets DVD but my Dad said no. I'm working on a Friends Forever MV....but my intenet is soo slow that I can't even download clips to add on it. So far I only got the JSG Round 1 clip on it...but I hope to finish it soon
