Here's some new semir pictures, credits to nicolaspeng from Twinsfans.net

I'm only going to post up the Twins/Gillian ones here.

The first 3 pictures, the quality seems to bad, the ones with Charlene of a similar type of picture was bad quality too, but the 2 after it are nice! Better quality and style too. After seeing Gillian's hair in curls for so long, it seems like its the same length as it was around Samba, but now, after seeing these pictures, you can tell that it's REALLY long. I really hope that she leaves her hair down too, this style definitely gives off a mature yet sexyish type of look, compared to the other time when she had her long hair, which gave off a bit more mature and elegant type of look.

I really like the last two pictures of Gillian!! She looks really pretty and refreshing!! This like the first time she did her hair like this since it's usually short or long and straight and short or long and curly!! The 2nd and 3rd picture's make up is really bad whether it's the quality or the make-up's problem. It doesn't look good. I hope Gillian would keep this hair style for a while too

Hm, I wonder when Gillian will have an opportunity to film with Kenny and Nic as her leads since they are the top males of EEG. I would love to see Nic fall for Gillian in a romantic comedy to redeem their cloudy relationship in Moving Targets. And I would most definitely enjoy watching Kenny and Gillian experience a Conscious Discovery about one another when high school sweethearts rush into marriage to avoid being apart for college but confront realistic issues together, similarly to Alex and Stephy's movie, but better!

I really wish to see Nicholas and Gillian to be in a movie!! They look really cute together too even though they weren't really linked together much...I remember there was some pictures that showed Gillian was whispering in Nicholas ears and they were talking happily...it looks so cute!! Wonder why they never have any rumours....

I honestly don't believe that Gillian only look pretty with straight hair. She'd look great with whatever hairstyle because that's just who she is. She has that facial that would look gorgeous even if a tornado or thunderstorm strike. Her textures are really beautiful, too. Whether her hair is curly or not or put up or even brush back she's still very beautiful not because of that but because of her personality wise that make people like her just like what Kenny said.
I believe that these kinds of things doesn't really matter to Gillian because if it did then she would change her hairstyles every so often to make herself look plausible but that's not Gillian she's not shallow of herself unlike other actresses who thinks they should change their styles just to make their appearance better so people would consider them good looking. I believe in inner-beauty and I think Gillian thinks so, too that's why she's always remain so calmly and so gracious yet still very beautiful because of the way she was brought up and because she respect herself too much to give in to fame. Most actresses that I've come across with have change so much from when they first enter the music industry that they make themselves look noticeable in order to gain popularity. I see this with most of the asian celebrities. They change their styles just to be notice which is something stupid. Yeah, do it because you're doing it for yourself but not because you want the world to notice that you're something great.
I would want Gillian to stay the way she is because I didn't notice her outer beauty but her inner beauty and her talent. When I first heard of Twins, I thought they're just another cocky chinese girl band who can't sing or do act. To be honest, I didn't like Gillian at first nor did I like Charlene because to me they're both fake ( no offense) but as I gradually continue to put an effort in giving Twins a chance I notice the difference between the two girls. They're both two very different person yet can collaborate together. Although still can't act or sing at the time. As I continue to see them through, my opinion of them began to change. They both appear themselves differently. Charlene tends to make herself approachable (which to me isn't a good thing) she tries too hard on the things she do like her singing and acting but I also notice the change in Charlene, too. Whereas, Gillian tends to hide behind--innocent and shy. She tends to stay away from the limelight (fame). Even though, she has so much talent in herself that she seem to be holding back for some reason (Why?). I understand why they put these two girls together because they can give each other so much only to a point.
I began to notice the potential that Gillian have and I started to invest in Twins more--mostly Gillian. I saw her abilities in acting and singing and I thought 'with this voice and acting skills, she can get very far if she stopped holding herself back'. She has so much characteristics that most chinese actresses lacks but still she won't show it. It made me think she's a fake too. Only as time went by that I began to see "The" Gillian, the Gillian that has been in hiding for so long. She has come a long way since she first debuted years ago with Charlene. Her singing abilities has gotten so much better than before and her acting skills is getting better too but she can do better if promoted more. If only people, like EEG, would give her the chance to.
You know, I'm happy with the way things turned out because of all those people who dislike Gillian that made her who she is today--strong-will and not a quitter! She didn't give in to any harsh remarks that was made on her (most people would) She kept going and holding on with the support of her fans, family, Kenny, and so many other people. Gillian is beautiful at heart and one day those who didn't like her will soon realize what they've miss out on. End of story!

I'm not asking her to change because I thought the curly hair is making her "ugly" but just thought it would be nice to see her in a new hairstyle because I'm sure she would look good in any style. It would just be refreshing to have her surprise us with a new hairstyle like the recent Semir Photoshoot.

I actually don't really mind if her hair was still curly but I just missed her straight long hair which she didn't leave on for long

I agree with you that Gillian is really unlike a lot of other celebrities that changes so much after entering the entertainment circle. Gillian is also different from other stars because of her shy and innocent personality. A lot of the celebrities these days are all either trying to be cute and out-going or using their body, being "sexy" yet still really out-going and smiling in the cameras and everything. Gillian stands out from the crowd because she isn't either of them.

I admire Twins for being able to hang on with so much criticisms thrown at them but more of Gillian because she had to do much more to prove herself. The limited opportunities and being labelled as the less "talented" Twins because I seriously think it's somewhat because she was the prettier Twins.

I just hope Gillian would continue to improve and hang in the entertainment circle to show people how wrong they are to think she doesn't have potential.

Kenny's actually really cute when reacting towards Gillian.

He has jokingly asked Gillian why she was so beautiful once and he has expressed to the press seriously that Gillian is a very beautiful girl with a great personality when they were promoting Bug Me Not!. He also 'saved' her from a fan who was holding a 'knife' during the Mainland promotions of Bug Me Not! by pulling person away from Gillian, but it wasn't until later that he found that the 'knife' the fan was holding was just a pen.

Regardless, it was still really nice of him to do that. It shows that he cares for Gillian. That's probably why he looked quite upset during the times of the chaotic event of the threats towards Gillian by KC fans; thus, the promise he made to protect her from the KC fans.

Apparently, Kenny is a 'servant' of Gillian's now because he gave himself to her for her birthday as her personal servant/housekeeper.

It'd be nice if the film, "Little Sparks", could be put back into production. We still don't know why they set it off, or if it will ever be filmed. I think Gillian would like the film since it's a romance film, but it was reported that Kenny and Gillian will have intimate scenes and kissing scenes in the film. I guess we'll never know what the film was supposed to be like since it doesn't seem like it will be filmed anymore, and KG was supposed to have another duet to serve as the themesong of film!

A film with either Kenny or Nic would be nice; in Moving Targets, it was just a one-sided love thing that Gillian had for Nic. Again, bad development of the plot!

We didn't see any of the crush of Gillian's; it was merely narrated by Gillian when she was talking to Edison on the bus. I hope Gillian and Kenny end up singing another duet, and then producing a film based on it.

It seems like the trend with HK films now; if a song is a hit, a film can be brought up by it. I wasn't too fond of Alex and Stephy's film using Kary's 'Loving You Turns Into Hating You' to promote their film though.

They played her song for more than half the trailer, but they didn't play their own songs once, just the midi of it. Even though they're from the same record company, Kary wasn't even in the film, so it doesn't make sense to me of how they're using her song, which is no. 1 of all four music charts, to promote their film.

I'm still busy having a blast at the Critics-Hang Out section.

Anyways, didn't Kenny initially attempted to shield Gillian from the pen-knife with his body first then I guess he must have changed his mind, pulling that person away after so little time to plan on which method would be most efficient in protecting Gillian? But either way, his considerate affection for Gillian just shows how much he highly respects and cares for Gillian, enough to more than willing risk his own life in exchange for hers. Rarely does Gillian ever ask anything from Kenny but he always loyally presents himself to Gillian's surprise.

Well, I guess we could all forget about the production of the KG film and keep it in our memories. EEG won't even promote the Kenny and Gillian duet; surely they're not going to invest in some film.

QUOTE (Little_Purple_Bell @ Apr 21 2006 6 43 AM)

They definitely didn't put Kary's song into Alex and Stephy's movie to promote her song; they did it to use the song to promote their film. Her song hit no. 1 on all four music charts even before the movie was released, so her song didn't need any extra promotion; the film did, even the media reported it as that way. Kary's song helped out the film's boxoffice results.

Well, let's just say, the producers/directors/crew who pieced this Alex and Stephy movie together obviously researched the market, enough to place one of the hottest rumored couples like Alex and Stephy together as leads in a film and promote the film with Kary's successful hit song so I guess it's really of no surprise that Kary's song pulled in a portion of box office results. Honestly, this movie has a weak and typical storyline that doesn't stimulate much interest. This was just another lovey dubbly romantic comedy with two popular leads and a great OST in addition.

QUOTE (Transition @ Apr 21 2006 7 53 AM)

I've always wanted to watch a movie with Nicholas and Gillian as the main characters, because I think they look good together and since both are fond on martial arts, it would be nice seeing them
in a romantic, yet quite action filled movie. Since Gillian like acting in action movies and has also expressed that she would like to act in a tragic/romantic one, wouldn't it be 兩全其美 if someone actually ask her to star in a film with a combination of those genres mentioned above?

If it is true that Sa was featured in Nic, Donnie, and Shawn's most recent film, Dragon Tiger Date, then even words cannot describe how disappointed blended with rage I am at the moment.

Gillian's schedule is really empty in regards to films. Twins haven't splitted yet, Gillian hasn't been officially promoted into a solo artist in the music industry nor Sa in acting or vice versa so I don't see the point why EEG has to cut Gillian short of films for this year when Sa is doing just fine with 4-5 films back to back.

I really want Gillian to reunite with all of her previous male leads like Edison, Shawn, and Nic. Not only are they good looking but the chemistry is there. Plus, I want to see the improvements and differences from their earlier projects together. Yup, I totally wish to enjoy Gillian and Nic in an action flick together. Gillian and Edison can be a tear jerker. Gillian and Kenny could be a comedy. And Gillan and Shawn could involve the supernatural.

Gillian seems to be stuck with Stephen or Daniel, not that I mind, but someone new would be nice too.

Passionate insights about Gillian. I too believe the same. I guess, when someone is as beautiful as Gillian, it's difficult for others to admit, see, or believe that Gillian does possess talent, potential, and a great personality depsite all of the criticims of her fake smile. Gillian has experienced a lot in life, she's much stronger towards those who demean her but too considerate towards those close at heart. I admire Gillian, not praise her like an idol like children do and other fans assume. I'm an adult now.

I support Gillian because I believe she herself is priceless.

I guess, Gillian's beauty can never be hidden. Gillian still outshined several stars with that timid and proper personality. Even as the plain and simple Ching Ling So, Gillian still glows.

The public are quick to judge. It is those reporters who bash then praise according to the current rise and lows of celebrity fame. I am proud how much Gillian has succeeded despite so much unjustice she has endured. She still manages to stand gallantly on top.

Yummy Kenny and Gillian pictures. I wish Kenny and Gillian would appear in a lot of new magazines like how they were promoted in the beginning.

Kodak Moment. Gillian: Kenny, take that! Kenny: Ooo, I have nice teeth!

Gillian: Kenny, not too close hun, you're suffocating me. Kenny: Well, then you can't pull on the scarf either. Gillian: We're so stiff. Kenny: Because we are freezing!

Gillian: Oh, I can pose better than you. Kenny: No you can't! *pouts*

Gillian: Can you hear my heart beat? Kenny:It's OUR heartbeat.

Gillian: Where are we going? Kenny: Shhh, to my place. *wink wink*

What a cute bickering couple. Anyways, what can you say, I got bored!

NEW MAGAZINE PICTURES!

Judging from the pictures, their new commercial looks pretty nice, when I first saw it, I thought that they were filming for a mv, it seems like it would look pretty nice for one too if it was. I really like Gillian's 'cool' look here. And it seems like she's still sticking to the same curly hair. Maybe she really likes the curly hair to where she doesn't feel like changing it. I think Charlene's feminine look looks nice too, but I don't like the white-cloth-type of thing around her arms.

Well, I can't deny that Gillian looks extremely gorgeous with the wavy hair flying in the magical air. Gillian just becomes prettier and prettier. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I love these poses of the commercial!

Seems like Gillian is presenting herself maturely and so elegantly like never before recently. First, the Semir advertisements that revealed such a sexy and gorgeous side of Gillian we've never seen before and now, these hot photo shots are just so irresistible. I absolutely encourage Gillian to wear more jeans. Levis could perhaps sign her up as their model and star presenter next to Edison because gosh, Gillian looks super fabulous in jeans. I wonder why Gillian doesn't include much jeans in her wardrobe? She should. I'm convinced, Gillian is much more stunning, sophisticated, and confident in jeans! The overall quality and result of this commercial has only exposed how versatile Gillian is with her beautiful facial expressions, model techniques, and self-assurance. I love everything about these two poses, the clothes, how the jeans bring out Gillian's nice figure, the cute simple white shirt that can look so good on Gillian showing more curves torso wise, the awesome jacket that just compliments everything altogether, and the attitude Gillian displays to suit the environment of the commercial is just so amazing. Look how glamourous Gillian glows in such simple clothes. Ah!

The cool side glare to the left and the "Don't care, I'm hot" toss of arms on the right are just superb!

As for the magazine shoots, um...both look weird and the wardrobe is certainly not the best.

It was just referring to the radio drama. At the end of each episode, there is a summary of each character by each of the cast. For episode four, they were interviewing Deep, and he portrays Gillian's fiancee in the radio drama. Gillian doesn't have a fiancee in real life, lol.

Oh...Gillian looks really nice with those two poses!! I love her outfit but not the one in the magazine. The yellow dress wasn't that appealing

' So what is these two poses for?? What ad is it for??

I love the idea of Gillian being a star presenter next to Edison!! Haven't heard any news of them anymore

wonder if they are friends anymore....Levis' pants might not fit Gillian though. I'm not a fan of Levis so I dont know much about their jeans but it seemed like the models are pretty tall but there's always exceptions. If EG does model together for Levis

I bet they would have alot of "EG customers" by their shops..lolx

Edison and Gillian seem to have similar fashion statements. Gillian loves wearing brand sneakers, baggy pieces of clothing, and cargos/khakis just like Edison. I'm pretty sure LEVIs will work something out for Gillian if she was chosen as their presenter. Even the jeans look nice on BOA, why wouldn't they look great on Gillian?

Yeah, I agree as well that the magazine photoshoot was quite cheap. Both Twins look dead and unenthusiastic about the entire thing. Eh, the wardrobe too.

Gillian with No Make-Up--Gillian still looks like her usual self but she appears to be extremely tired. Most of the non-makeup photos I've seen of Sa, Sa is either sleeping or just woke up so perhaps Sa got more rest so she looks better than Gillian here because so far, this seems to be the only picture I've seen of Gillian with no makeup surfacing online.

Gillian with A Whole Load of Makeup

--See any difference lol.

I loved this part when Gillian just ate the silver spike ball and kept screaming and screaming and then she all of a sudden realized it and covered her mouth with the most innocent face ever.

Gillian, I'm not going to force myself into watching an entire comedic film as Twins again take over the theatres with their silly and nonsense roles just to reiterate the notion that Twins can never portray a serious film together and further damage their reputation as actresses.

Hm, since they're thieves, I wonder how the film is going to end? A realistic one or ideal one where Twins continue on life without getting caught? But isn't this promoting unfavorable morals lol?

I wonder if Gillian's hair will continue the curly perm? At least in that picture, it's wavy! Seems like in January (the beginning portion of the year) Gillian's hair was the curliest, now it has decreased in curls into a wavy pattern, hopefully by the time in June (when filming begins) Gillian's hair will completely lose the curls lol.

Everything seems to rushed. Album release in May, filming in June, serial promotions too, then the Cantonese album? Is this really the only film we'll be watching Gillian in this year??

Did you guys know that Twins went to Ronald's concert?
Can anyone translate this?

阿Sa情侶裝撐場　顯正印身份
23/04/2006

鄭中基（ Ronald ）苦等十年，前晚終在紅館舉行「處男」演唱會， Ronald 憑歌寄意，破天荒載歌載舞唱畢整首阿 Sa 的《愛情當入樽》；而阿 Sa 昨晚更專程從上海趕返港，在經理人 Mani 和阿嬌陪同下欣賞男友演出，足見「正印」地位。

Twins 昨晚乘坐保母車到達紅館後，阿 Sa 即一支箭衝入後台會愛郎，在搭正 8:35 分正式開騷一刻，阿 Sa 才施施然走進觀眾席，但依然大方任影。此外，阿 Sa 與 Ronald 更甚有默契穿同牌子但不同顏色運動風褸，果然心靈相通。

而前晚 Ronald 請來譚詠麟合唱鹹濕版《夏日寒風》， Ronald 父親鄭東漢亦為愛兒出山彈結他伴奏，場面溫馨。在 encore 環節，古巨基、梁漢文、蘇永康、林海峰及 Ronald 合唱《男子組》，引來全場起哄，基仔更乘機爆 Ronald ：「之前我擔任香港某組合演唱會特別嘉賓，鄭中基就坐山頂捧場，佢當然唔係捧我場啦，睇得出佢好愛台上表演者。」

掂到健姐胸
雖然 Ronald 沒有堅守承諾以背心造型示人，但他邀請兩名健美小姐上台「伴舞」，當他獻唱《美女與野獸》一曲時，兩位健美小姐隨即將他托起坐在二人膊頭上，一臉戰戰兢兢的 Ronald 口窒窒說：「畀佢到個髀，好緊張！」事後 Ronald 表示：「因為佢兩個搽油，我坐上去時唔小心跣一下，所以對方好肉緊實我大髀內側，我隻腳唔小心掂到佢『邊皮』。（撞到個胸？）唔係整體！」

Ronald 唱了半首楊千嬅的《可惜我是水瓶座》，緊接再唱《愛情當入樽》，期間有一班女舞蹈員以啦啦隊造型伴舞， Ronald 則強忍腰傷又唱又跳，且高呼：「我都肯唱咯，大家拍手掌啦，大佬！」對於偏心阿 Sa 歌曲， Ronald 解釋：「其實兩首歌只係唱半首，但後尾知道排舞，所以要唱晒。」

同千嬅較襯
Ronald 一連唱出三首悲慘情歌，他說：「其實都唔係好慘，我對感情好有抱負，只係想搵一個人同我 feel 。」台下不少觀眾大叫阿 Sa 、千嬅和芝名字， Ronald 聞言苦笑：「我人得一個，要唔到咁多。」突然有女歌迷大叫：「千嬅同你襯呀！」

Love this picture of Gillian!! look at her shoe laces!

That that enthusiastic about the Twins film...but I love the picture!! I think Gillian's hair looks really nice here, pretty close to her style at the Sermir photoshop but just more "innocent"

I wonder how their roles are going to be?? It makes me wonder, since EEG is giving Charlene a more mature image in the movie industry (the recent roles), will their roles not be like their typical Twins movie roles?? Since they are thieves, wouldn't their role be serious?? but of course it's a Twins production. Usually it's not anywhere near realistic...Oops...

It's so bad to jump to conclusion but can't help it.

But again, this year has been a surprise, well..to me, since it's so "non-typical". Like Charlene with more diverse roles, Gillian went to sing a fe solos and participating in a series....would there actually be more surprises in the upcoming months with Twins arrangements?? Hmm...

Forgot to comment about Gillian's shoelaces!! LOLxx...so funny that Gillian didn't notice her showlace is loose....O yea..Gillian's pants remind me of Eason's pant in a past EEG concert thing...I don't like it..doesn't look nice but her shirt and vest looks matching and nice together, just not with the pants. It would be better with a skirt!!

Mani and Joey resemble a lot like each other, that's why Joey was poking fun at Mani, that they can be Twins. When I first saw Mani, I was quite surprised. Mani is quite above average looking. Wonder why she chose to do behind the scenes stuff? Well, I guess management is more of her expertise rather than stardom.

I don't think it's going to be Stephen either; the film that Twins were supposed to film with Stephen was called, "Silver Lake Princess", a story adapted from a manga, so it obviously isn't this film about thieves. I want to start knowing of who else is in the cast; hope Twins have good co-stars.

It probably isn't the entire crew of 49 Days, but it is the same scriptwriter from 49 Days/The Death Curse. It doesn't really give us an idea of where the script will land on the quality scale though. 49 Days had an interesting storyline, though with a few loose ends at the ending, but The Death Curse was just an average storyline; I thought the storyline should've focused more on about all the siblings instead of only the character Nancy. At least we know that we'll see Gillian kicking some butt on-screen since it was mentioned that they have action scenes in this film; I think that's one thing that we're sure of that Gillian has an upperhand on.

From the title of the film, or maybe it's because they presented the news with the screencaps from the MV of A Story From Texas, it doesn't seem like it's such a serious film. Rarely any Twins film has been serious. They probably won't get caught if this is a comedic film; there'll probably be some funny reason of the sort to explain why they're stealing, so it'll explain why they don't caught in the end. I hope it's a serious film, then we may have some hope of seeing something realistic in the film.

Actually....... after thinking about it, promoting unfavourable morals seem to be possible with this scriptwriter; look what happened in 49 Days, *SPOILERS* Stephen never cleared his name of being the murderer of all those lives in the end, and he had to die with that negativity stuck onto him.

I highly doubt that Twins are the only ones from EEG in this film, seeing that EMG is part of it. They would never let go of a chance to bring others in with Twins. I wonder if Steven will appear in this film? Seeing that he's pretty much into the acting section nowadays. It'd be nice if Kenny was in it along with Steven! Though it most likely won't happen because EEG probably wouldn't want everyone to see the old Boy'Z image again, now that they're so eager for Kenny to be successful as a solo artiste. Wilson might appear in it; he's always in EMG films. I wonder if the other two guys in Boy'Z, William and Dennis, will be in it?

The photographer sure caught Mani on film at a bad time.

Looks like Charlene was the only one who was prepared for the photo. Gillian's actually watching the concert, and Mani looks like she doesn't want the photo taken.

Anyway, I think more or less, Mani will always favour Charlene over Gillian; it seems like the only times that she remembers to give more notice to Gillian is when Charlene isn't present. I think the one in the second photo is Joey instead of Mani, but I could be wrong.

Hm, I sort of don't wish to watch Gillian as the Kung-Fu fighter or the serious one anymore in a Twins film. That just falls right back to the typical label of both Twins, Gillian as the serious ruthless one and Sa, the cute talkative one. In Twins Effect II, Gillian had nice fighting scenes but rarely did she ever deliver any lines of dialogue. EMG films aren't very promising in terms of the storyline and characters. This will probably be another ridiculous idol movie for young fans to show their support at the box office.

Perhaps that's the reality of life. Not all cases doomed for execution by the court system are evaluated through justice. So 49 Days was a comedy with the interaction between Gillian and Steven, a romance among Steven, Gillian, and Cheung Sai (forgot her English name), loss, guilt, misery, and death with Steven's experiences, and the importance of family bond with Steven's little daughter.

I haven't seen the film yet but I finally discovered why the movie is title "49 Days." Some people believe that after death, the person's soul resides in a waiting period and on the 49th day, they return to bid farewell to the one they dearly love most. I got that from Windstruck, the Korean movie the other day. It never occurred to me until then.

EMG is a film company. EEG usually partners up with EMG in the majority of films that feature their artists. Isn't EMG linked to Jackie Chan? And EMG is just another branch of EEG but instead of concentrating in music they specify in film production? Anyways, the majority of EMG films I've watched are poor. I can't say for this upcoming Twins film but hopefully, it at least exceeds my expectations.

Hm, I sort of don't wish to watch Gillian as the Kung-Fu fighter or the serious one anymore in a Twins film. That just falls right back to the typical label of both Twins, Gillian as the serious ruthless one and Sa, the cute talkative one. In Twins Effect II, Gillian had nice fighting scenes but rarely did she ever deliver any lines of dialogue. EMG films aren't very promising in terms of the storyline and characters. This will probably be another ridiculous idol movie for young fans to show their support at the box office.

It just doesn't seem possible for Twins to jump out of their typical spot. I, of course, would like to see something different for both Twins as well, but when it doesn't seem all that likely, then we can only make the best of it. At least we know that Gillian would be more or less given recognition for any fighting scenes. I think the scriptwriter has expressed a while ago that the script of this film featuring Twins will feature on many different genres. It will include love relationships, family relationships, drama, and action, but I don't know if there's been any alterations since it was a month or two ago that the scriptwriter said this. I hope the division between the two film companies will be good; I think it'd be best if EMG can take care of the things that deal with the budget, and Kiu Yeung can worry about the storyline characters.

Perhaps that's the reality of life. Not all cases doomed for execution by the court system are evaluated through justice. So 49 Days was a comedy with the interaction between Gillian and Steven, a romance among Steven, Gillian, and Cheung Sai (forgot her English name), loss, guilt, misery, and death with Steven's experiences, and the importance of family bond with Steven's little daughter.

It definitely is the reality of life. It's only in dramas that every framed case gets resolved, and justice is served. There are just so many people who are innocent in the world, yet serving penalties.

Most HK dramas have the scripts written so that justice is served in the end, but recently, there's been several dramas that give people a little heads-up about reality.

Hm, wonder which song Ronald sang.

Could give us some clues or insights about the underground and rumored relationship between him and Sa lol.

Just joking. I would rather not know.

Ronald sang 愛情當入樽, the song of where Twins played basketball in the MV.

QUOTE (asillysaint @ Apr 22 2006 10 31 PM)

Yeah, seems like Gillian was about to discuss something with Sa.

Gillian: Hey, Ronald is kinda cute from far away lol. Sa: *Breaks an incomplete smile* You caught me! Mani: Oh my gosh, we didn't know this was Ronald's concert!

Haha!! Love your captions!

You know, for this rumour between Ronald and Charlene, it's pretty much a 50/50 thing. 50% that it's true, and Ronald & Charlene are an item; the other 50% just goes towards Gold Label and EEG working together for their artistes to show up on headlines. Seriously, rarely do Gillian and Charlene go watch concerts together; they even went separately for a concert of Joey's. And even Mani is there!

QUOTE (asillysaint @ Apr 22 2006 10 31 PM)

Both Gillian and Mani look so stiff. Seems like they're hugging strictly for business purposes.

Mani's smiles are usually stiff, sometimes Gillian's are as well. I do believe that Mani cares for both Charlene and Gillian since it is her job as their manager, but I'm sure we've all agreed that it's Charlene > Gillian in her eyes, regardless of anything. Though, I still think Mani appears to be a bit more caring towards Gillian when Charlene isn't present versus to when she is present. It's like when there are comparisions or conflicts between Twins, Mani would definitely back up Charlene first, but if Charlene's not in the picture, Mani would still do her best to defend Gillian. Still isn't very fair though

, but Mani isn't THAT heartless towards Gillian, though it does depend on the situation

.

Joey and Mani do look alike; I think that's why Joey dressed up as Mani in a VCD of Twins that recorded their past moments? Joey looked so much like Mani in the VCD!

I guess you're right. There isn't much we can do except enjoy the fact that at least Gillian is participating in a film this year because seems like Gillian is slowly pulling out of films.

I as well hope that the responsibility of the film will be divided that way.

Hm, I really don't know the truth anymore. If they are really dating then best wishes even though I think Sa can do way better appearance wise and personality wise. I don't know Ronald personally but Sa really seems to lack chemistry towards him. The only person I've seen Sa have true chemistry towards was Kenny. This whole relationship can just be a scandal like you said for all we know.

Twins seem to be an instrument used to promote male artists who are struggling with their careers. Before the whole Alex and Gillian ordeal, Alex wasn't considered to be that popular and as well known as now. Yeah, Alex was part of TVB as an actor and singer but who knew? Alex never had huge successful lead roles in TVB. Of course, it wasn't entirely Gillian because Stephy had a portion of that contribution too towards Alex's career. But honestly, it was the media's curiousity about Edison and Gillian that promoted all those who were involved with their love triangle like the Alex and Stephy couple today.

Seems like Sa's name is promoting Ronald as well. No one really knew who Ronald was up until the rumors of their relationship began hitting news stands heavily. I knew who Ronald was but many didn't or perhaps I never really cared who Ronald was, Miriam's boyfriend so he wasn't popular in my world at least. Ever since the nonstop rumors with Sa, Ronald has been enjoying his opportunity in the spotlight of news articles these past few weeks-months. And then it seems like when the males are done promoting themselves with Twins, they skip right over to Cookies lol.

I haven't seen the film yet but I finally discovered why the movie is title "49 Days." Some people believe that after death, the person's soul resides in a waiting period and on the 49th day, they return to bid farewell to the one they dearly love most. I got that from Windstruck, the Korean movie the other day. It never occurred to me until then.

Thanks, I guess it is Joey.

EMG is a film company. EEG usually partners up with EMG in the majority of films that feature their artists. Isn't EMG linked to Jackie Chan? And EMG is just another branch of EEG but instead of concentrating in music they specify in film production? Anyways, the majority of EMG films I've watched are poor. I can't say for this upcoming Twins film but hopefully, it at least exceeds my expectations.

EMG used to produce good films. Remember Funeral March and Just One Look? But then after Twins Effect they seemed to get some whacked idea that people liked to watch their idols prance around on screen for a stupid plotless 90 mins. Aiya! How depressing!

Yes, some dramas just over do it with the tragedies. It's like they try to hard to get the viewers to sympathize with the characters. Those things are parts of reality, but doesn't it seem like it's too much? It gets overwhelming sometimes. But I liked the ending of LWVB; it was heartbreaking, and I was crying over and over for that ending, but there really wasn't anything that Michelle could do but what she did to have Raymond for herself for once without the endless interruptions from Rain

, and to achieve the official title of being his wife. She would've lived her life in misery anyway after that slap from Raymond.

I still think Raymond didn't show much affection towards Michelle in the series; it's either that or he's really convincing of showing how his character favoured Rain more. <--- Oops, it looks like I went off topic again, hehe. Anyway, I think Happy-Go-Lucky was a film that did a good job of portraying reality; they didn't throw in a handful of tragedies and make everyone live a life of misery, but just showed that everyone has his/her own problems and they have just got to find a way to face it and fix it. I love that quote that was showed at the end; it's so true.

I think there is a high chance for this to be a scandal, at least for the Gillian-Alex-Stephy relationship. With Gillian's name tied onto Alex, Alex definitely appeared more on newspapers and has gotten to be more well-known. Adding in Stephy to the picture just totally spiced the whole thing up; Stephy also received more exposure afterwards, though part of it was negative exposure. Alex and Gillian both acted weird about the whole rumour; sometimes they would defend each other through the reporters, but at other times, they would have little arguements through the media as well. They also kept switching roles of who was the bad cookie in the relationship; sometimes it'd be Alex who was cheating on Gillian, and Gillian starts crying to herself, but afterwards, it's reported that Gillian was the one who dumped him, and she suddenly had a handful of boyfriends all around the world.

With the switching of Twins to Cookies theory you have there, it makes it look even more like a scandal. After the males are done with grabbing some exposure from Twins, they have enough exposure so that they can just work up other rumours with the girls in their own company. Notice how both these rumours are Gold Label VS EEG? Gillian with Alex, Stephy, and sometimes Theresa. Charlene with Ronald and Miki. Seems like Kary's the only Cookie who is safe from these rumours; I'd rather be in her shoes among the four Cookies.

Yeah, I suppose that Mani's attitude towards Gillian would get better, but the first impression thing will never completely rub off. I wonder if that remark made by Mani about Gillian having to lose thirty pounds in the new film is true or did Mani just want the reporters to leave Charlene alone about all the Ronald issues? Man, does Gillian even have thirty pounds to lose? Though she's put on a few pounds lately, I highly doubt she's anywhere over 110 at the most. By what Mani said, I think there'll probably be two male leads in this film; rarely do Twins fight over a guy in a film.

I think that it's stupid that Gillian has to lose 30 pounds. I mean, I know she has been gaining a bit of a weight, but she looks healthy, which is good. And even if she did have to lose weight, at the most I think she should lose is around 10 pounds. 30 is just too much. And don't they see how skinny Charlene is? They should just lower the 30 pounds to like 15 or so, and have Charlene gain like 15 pounds. It'll be much better for Charlene since it seems like she's been getting skinnier and skinnier, which makes it very unhealthy for her.

I know. Funeral March and Just One Look were pretty good movies that seem to have faded in the HK cinema. Those were the only ones I enjoyed; ironically, Twins' acting abilities weren't even that polished either in comparison to now. It is pointless watching Gillian build up her career with her recent success as an actress then all of a sudden, her only film so far this year will most likely damage her reputation as an accepted actress. It is certainly depressing.

The ending was quite emotional on Michelle's part but I was anticipating on Ray saying something more than that. Ray lacked the gentle emotions towards Michelle that particular scene but nonetheless, succeeded in showing so much anger and hatred towards her when he was forced to marry again for the antidote. But one thing I did love was, this serial definitely implied that not all heros at the end of the day were males.

Well, Kary doesn't need any scandals to promote her image. If it wasn't for Stephy's rumors with Alex or Edison, I doubt she would be as well accepted as now. Even though, people hate Edison's bad boy attitude, but being rumored with Edison certainly gains more media exposure and eventually enough to launch one's own career. That's why some girls are just dying to create scandals with Edison.

Even if it was true or just a way to diverge reporters from Sa's rumors, that was extremely unnecessary. Mani knows that Gillian has been endlessly attacked by the media for being chubby (in which she isn't at all but just healthy) but yet she still mentions that delicate issue. That should be something kept secret until the film releases and people who are obsessed with weight can be the judge. Yeah, Twins will never go against one another for one man.

That's true. Twins Effect was quite successful in comparison to the other previous Twins films so I guess that is the main purpose in fueling these nonsense comedies but the directors/producers should really observe too that Twins aren't as powerful as before and they're not as young anymore either to still be labelled as cute and super cheerful. People are already getting bored of Twins in general, this film if it happens to repeat the same cute theme will definitely further ruin Twins as it is. EMG should really attempt to present Twins to a more mature audience as their original fans have also grown by now too. Twins need a new serious image together, the cute image was something of the past, everyone has already moved on, Twins should also; hopefully, the directors/producers or whoever it may concern of this film project should know that too.

I think that it's stupid as well; if the film really required for Twins to look like they have the same figure, they should at least share the load with each other. Gillian should just lose 15 while Charlene gains 15 as you've suggested. It's still going to be easier to gain pounds than to lose them. Gillian is simply gonna look anorexic after she loses 30 pounds; it barely seems possible. Gosh, so she's going to be around 80 pounds?

It's going to be bad on Gillian's health, nor is it going to look good. Gillian isn't very tall to begin with, so when she loses all that weight..... Oh my, I don't even want to imagine it.

I agree about the LWVB cast; everyone just seemed to fit their roles very nicely except Rain. Rain pretty much just added to the hype of discussion due to her love rumours with Raymond. LWVB was pretty much the best production of that producer; the producer had a reputation of producing serials that get bad ratings. LWVB was the only series that he produced that was able to pull off a 30. Can you believe that the ending was changed last minute? I think Michelle said that the original ending wasn't like this; it was something pretty stupid, so she and Raymond requested for the script to be altered for Michelle's character to die so it would correspond with the novel. I think the ending of LWVB was by far Michelle's best emotional scene; the focus was all on her, very heartbreaking. Raymond's performance there was a bit of a disappointment because he wasn't very into the scene. It seemed like he was restraining himself from laughing because he had a quick smirk during that scene; I don't think the camera was supposed to catch that part, but it did. It was a big deduction on Raymond's part there.

I definitely loved how Michelle's character is the most clever in the story, and cleared everything up. Even though Raymond was supposed to be the most important character in the series, I still loved Michelle more. It's a shame of how we never see the pairing of these two nowadays. Whatever happened to that radio drama that they were supposed to do together? It was supposed after Gillian, Charlene, Kenny and Deep did 'Very Love'; I was anticipating on that, but apparently it isn't happening.

Yeah, the media made the whole Gillian-Alex relationship so complex and confusing, it was simple to see how fake the relationship was due to the unmatching made up events that tied Gillian and Alex together.
EEG's pretty artists help promote Gold Label's too not appealing unknown artists lol.

Well, Kary doesn't need any scandals to promote her image. If it wasn't for Stephy's rumors with Alex or Edison, I doubt she would be as well accepted as now. Even though, people hate Edison's bad boy attitude, but being rumored with Edison certainly gains more media exposure and eventually enough to launch one's own career. That's why some girls are just dying to create scandals with Edison.

After Edison and Gillian's rumour together, it seems like everyone else who creates a rumour with either of them will get huge exposures too. Stephy made one with Edison and Gillian had one with Alex; both then received lots of exposure, and then they just teamed up together, creating another scandal among themselves to pull in more support from fans in songs/films that they produce together.

Even if it was true or just a way to diverge reporters from Sa's rumors, that was extremely unnecessary. Mani knows that Gillian has been endlessly attacked by the media for being chubby (in which she isn't at all but just healthy) but yet she still mentions that delicate issue. That should be something kept secret until the film releases and people who are obsessed with weight can be the judge. Yeah, Twins will never go against one another for one man.

Well, like we've agreed on before, it'll always be Charlene > Gillian for Mani, if Charlene's caught in some chaotic situation like during the press conference. Mani succeeded in getting the reporters to change the topic by her remark, that's for sure. I'm just glad it didn't stir up other remarks by reporters of how Gillian's gotten chubbier, or else I'd have another :2ar15: against Mani, even if Gillian was making attempts to change the topic for Charlene as well. I agree it could've been something more positive to change the topic into.

Here's a bigger version of the photo with Gillian in jeans for the commercial:

This commerical actually sounds pretty interesting, very digital. I just read that the commercial will start out with Aaron Kwok, then he'll split and transform into Eason Chan and Denise Ho, and then the two of them will transform into Gillian and Charlene in the end.

I think that it's stupid as well; if the film really required for Twins to look like they have the same figure, they should at least share the load with each other. Gillian should just lose 15 while Charlene gains 15 as you've suggested. It's still going to be easier to gain pounds than to lose them. Gillian is simply gonna look anorexic after she loses 30 pounds; it barely seems possible. Gosh, so she's going to be around 80 pounds?

It's going to be bad on Gillian's health, nor is it going to look good. Gillian isn't very tall to begin with, so when she loses all that weight..... Oh my, I don't even want to imagine it.

I really sympathize for Gillian; not only does she have to lose up to 30 pounds but she also has to increase her martial arts practice too. I don't want to see a zombie Gillian.

If Mani and the higher authorities responsible for this film so demanded Gillian on losing weight just to resemble Sa more then I hope they will equally split up the importance and screen duration for both since they're trying so hard to maintain Twins as real Twins.

I loved the part when Ray slapped Michelle when he discovered that she was an assassin and automatically assumed that she was a traitor. When did assassins carry a burden of being a cold blooded killer and a traitor? Anyways, I loved what Michelle said to Ray at that scene and flew off so beautifully. Ray was dumb. Even when Ray found out that if it wasn't for Michelle that day, all of them would have turned into ashes but seems like he never really thanked her nor appreciated it.

Oh, one more thing that I found to be amusing was the unused heavy sword on Ray's back. Rarely did Ray defend himself with that rusty sword.

And we only saw the verdant bow used once?

Yeah, I love this pairing. Ray seems to be most adored and successful with Michelle but seems like since TVB is promoting others more like Ron and Tavia, both Ray and Michelle have faded into the back seat.

Alex and Stephy were the so called "dumped" or "played" by heartless players like Edison and Gillian.

I guess, repairing the two was quite successful thanks to Edison and Gillian who left the love circle.

Gillian's reaction was quite obvious that her weight reduction wasn't even supposed to be a topic of discussion. I think anyone would look chubby standing next to Sa; she's too thin. I just hate this whole weight obsession swirling around the Asian society. That's why I think one of the main reasons as to why Twins cannot dance is because they're too skinny, it looks weird. The majority of dancers are toned, have tiny muscles to coordinate their bodies into flexible dancing positions, but Twins look like moving sticks up onstage. Well, of course Twins don't have enough practice and plus their choreography is horrible but in order to dance, your body needs to suit those conditions. Dancing is too appear sexy and healthy, not boney and wobbly. Extremely skinny individuals like Twins and no offense, overweight people (meaning 160 lbs+) won't look nice dancing because they're either below or have exceeded the body type for dancing.

Interesting idea. Wonder if Eason or Denise will transform into Gillian. Hm, I wonder if all Aaron, Eason, Denise, and Twins shot the commercial at the same time? Since Aaron is Gillian's idol, Gillian may have been super nervous than usual acting in front of him and I hope that the both of them had their personal conversations together but knowing how shy Gillian is, that opportunity may have never surfaced. I wonder if Aaron even knows that Gillian admires him? Has he even bothered reading Mani's confession about Gillian's tears just to attend his concert? I wish Aaron would invite Gillian as his lead since Sa already had a chance to work with her idol, Andy.

Thanks for the bigger version of the photo. I love Gillian in jeans but rarely does she ever wear any. She loves to wear khakis/cargos more than anything I suppose.

I read the news and I am like..what's wrong with Mani!!

Gosh, for Gillian to lose 30lbs is like telling her to become a stick

Poor Gil. She looks great the way she is, the max acceptable weight that Gillian can lose is 10lbs, anymore than that, she'll be

Anyways, I found Mani really rude to Gillian.

Btw, I've not been to EG orbital for a while. I tried to login today but my antivirus program pop out a window giving me a virus error. I can't login anymore

Does anyone have the same problem?

I already mentioned the problem to Missy, the administrator of EGO but even she has failed to remove the virus. I wanted to suggest to her to just mind as well move the entire board somewhere else because that virus is repelling a lot of members including me from entering the forum but I haven't had a chance to chat with her yet regarding the issue. The only time I enter EGO is when I'm using school computers because they have strong Anti-virus filters. The virus isn't an extremely high alert one but it's still a virus.

I agree with rumikochan, even 20 pounds is insane considering how thin Gillian is already. 10 pounds is already stretching the bar.

Mani does resemble both Faye and Joey! Haha. Wonder if she can sing as beautifully too?

Anyways, Mani is rude and quite inconsiderate of Gillian. How can she just mention something so embarrassing like that in front of Gillian. She placed Gillian in an uneasy tough position, a negative spotlight.
