Youtube finally let me upload my MV!
Here's the link if anyone couldn't download it earlier.
I Really Want To Love Him (Fan-Made Version) - Twins
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_LXQphUC9I I love it more than the official music video. It still keeps me wondering, if Twins already fell in love with the same guy once, history will likely repeat itself. Are Twins going to keep playing this sacrificing game until they both really end up with no one but each other lol?

I'm glad that both Twins don't share the same taste in men but ironically, both of their rumors have revolved around the same men. I guess the music video does illustrate their reality drama in that, guys like Shawn, Edison, Alex, and Nic were rumored to have special feelings for Gillian whereas Sa had small crushes on them instead.

For some reason, I can't imagine Sa sacrificing for Gillian. Perhaps because in the majority of Twins films and music videos, Gillian is always the sacrificial, selfless, and sincere one so it would be odd if the storyline was switched around. Wouldn't it be painfully hilarious if history repeated itself but this time around, the guy fell in love with Sa instead, since Gillian is so used to sacrificing, she leaves alone and paves way for Sa and the guy in a happily ever after fairytale? Somehow, that would be the conclusion if Gillian was the third wheel but in Gillian's triangle, seems like the usual ordeal of,
G: I love him. S: I love him too M: I love Gillian. Ending: Twins together forever; kids, remember, friendship is most important. BUT if the tables were turned,
S: I love him. G: I love him too. M: I love Sa. Ending: Gillian leaves behind a content smile as she disappears from their lives, Sa and the guy hug each other in appreciation. Hm, so whatever happened to friendship?

If we want to go through some self deception, we could say that the serial could bring Gillian some exposure in Mainland, considering all her leading role films have been abolished to screen in Mainland. But then the question that'd be floating up is, why couldn't Gillian have just accepted a film with a script that won't be rejected to screen in Mainland?
It may be because HK is Twins' main market and the main place that they have to develop on. Of course, with Charlene being their priority, EEG has to set Charlene out and ready to be a solo artiste while Gillian just has to wait for her own solo development in HK until everything's settled for Charlene. I guess we're close to being fortunate that they actually let Gillian perform in Mainland/Taiwan. It's actually kinda nice that Kenny's Gillian's duet partner now because at least even if KG don't perform their duets together, EEG wouldn't find someone else to replace Gillian with like they did with EG's duet by placing in Miriam and Yumiko, because Kenny's voice rarely synchronizes with anyone else.
Joey's voice probably could synchronize with Kenny's, but she wouldn't waste her time of being there just to replace someone who was 'forbidden' to be there.
Gillian's never actually been properly promoted in the acting industry. All those earlier years, she was more or less just placed into a few shots of a film to build up the appearance that she is in a lot of films. Look, I highly doubt that if we add up the screentime of all those cameo roles of Gillian's that we'd even get the length of a regular film.
Gillian has just slipped through with a few unplanned breakthrough roles to accumulate her credit in acting. If Gillian actually had a management company that supported her, she would've been a dependable actress for skills and box office because a management company in the right mind would keep pushing their artiste after a breakthrough role along with a recognized nomination. I agree that if Gillian was just fortunate enough, she'll still be able to survive in the music industry after Twins' disband. She may become one of those artistes who just get exposure when they release an album.
Hopefully, the market will support her with her singing, and she'll get more exposure from that. I do doubt that Gillian would be able to step foot into acting because it is reserved for Charlene. She'll probably star as some weird guest star role in an EMG film when they need her to promote some newbie.
That's exactly what I've been implying as well. Gillian's third, THIRD real lead role in BOK already gained a load of recognition, enough to be nominated as
Best Actress in a competitive ceremony. The only films that are considered to be Gillian's real work and not just some promotional cameo for the cast is:
Happy Go Lucky and
If U Care. Sa is proceeding onto her 10th leading role in
Diary and she has only won one popularity award YET EEG/Mani still insists in promoting only Sa in the acting industry. Even if Sa won an important nomination or award for her role in
Diary that will only come to show how horrible EEG/Mani are towards Gillian for rejecting a role like
Abnormal Beauty and accepting a similar role for Sa. Gillian has no films onboard at the moment. Some fans insist us on waiting for further announcements but uh, the cast of films are usually revealed 6 months prior to the official press conference or film shooting. It's already June, Gillian's only film this year will most likely only be the upcoming Twins movie but even then, Gillian is no different from a cameo on the side anyways since the majority of screentime falls to Sa. Absolutely nothing, nothing will convince EEG to promote Gillian in the acting industry because there is only one spot and that spot happens to be Sa's ever since the beginning. The only thing that has kept Gillian in business was her own charm. She outshines the rest of HK actresses at the moment. EMG and Wong Jing needs to reconsider themselves. They really make HK stink.
In terms of films, the HK industry is the most successful industry in the Chinese market so HK is vital towards Sa's future success at present and in the future. In order for Sa to survive the wave of complications after the disbandment of Twins, EEG is really pushing and promoting Sa into establishing a solid ground first, before Gillian, before Twins disband. And trust me, there will be a day when Twins disband before they retire. It's all about the timing that solely relies upon EEG.

I'd be the one laughing so hard if the ratings shot up high during the beginning and up until the time of when CLS dies, and as soon as CLS disappears off the screen, which is also when the script takes a downfall, the ratings take a big fall.
Seriously, if Gillian wasn't in this serial, would any of us here even hear about this serial, never mind actually watching it? I think a lot of Gillian/Twins fans would say so as well. Wong Jing's serials are more promising than his films, but I still wouldn't that they're really good. You don't know how many criticisms you get if you happen to be starring in a slaughtered up serial that came from a novel.
At least Gillian's part in the serial is still filmed normally, and Gillian had her wish of portraying a tragic character fulfilled.
Come to think of it, Gillian has lost many opportunities to having her first on-screen kiss taken from her. There's Edison in 'Moving Targets', Daniel in 'Beyond Our Ken', Stephen in '49 Days' (filmed but not actually shown in film), and I remember reading news saying that Gillian and Nic were going to have a film together, and Gillian's going to give her on-screen kiss to him. It would've been such a big attraction for the film if EG shared a kiss together; imagine the box office then. Then again, I wouldn't really want Gillian to lose her kiss in a film like 'Moving Targets'. Having it be EG is good, but let it be a film with a good storyline first. True. I wouldn't be interested at all if Gillian wasn't part of the cast. The majority of people discussing about this serial are Gillian fans who are anticipating to watch her first Mainland serial, something different. I wouldn't be surprised either if the ratings began shooting down once CLS dies because at least the story hasn't transformed into a complete turn off yet. I guess the positive thing is: Gillian had an opportunity to portray her tragic role but with the time constraint and rushed production, Gillian wasn't even permitted to perform her best as Ching Ling So so I wouldn't be surprised if complaints about Gillian's unconvincing acting popped up again onscreen. Gillian is a sensitive actress. Gillian needs to engulf a certain character or role for a decent amount of duration, understanding, and depth before successfully portraying it or else the portrayal turns out rigid. Let's just hope, Gillian lost herself as Ching Ling So and did a fabulous portrayal, enough to grab some decent ratings despite all obstacles against the serial.
Yeah, considering that Gillian wasn't even the lead in
Moving Targets, the kiss wouldn't have been that special anyways. BOK would have been a good film to lose Gillian's first kiss but then again, Daniel was a jerk in that film so it would have been wasted lol. Since BOK is only Gillian's third real lead role, Gillian still has to wait for another interesting film to float along if EEG doesn't reject the offer first to share her first onscreen kiss on theatres.

Gillian's career would only be more fair if she didn't 'threaten' or 'impact' Charlene's career in any way, but the chances are that the biased issue will never be solved as long as she's still under EEG management, and there's about no chance for Gillian to be leaving EEG either unless she's ready to retire from the entertainment industry. The only thing we could actually hope for is the disbanded Twins could head off to complete different routes, namely Gillian singing and Charlene acting, so that treatment could get better for Gillian. It'll probably be that way because Charlene's established herself too much in the acting industry to be throwing it away to concentrate on singing, and Gillian obviously hasn't been through a lot of promotion in acting yet, and her recent singing skills have appeared to be more superior. Even if they want to invest Charlene in both, EEG should understand that the theory of one thing at a time. If so, they should let Charlene develop in the acting industry first and gain recognition while they develop Gillian in singing. As they both grow steady with what they're doing, then EEG should bring Charlene back to singing, but I doubt they'd let Gillian take a whack at acting again. I don't know; would EEG let them both go on with both ends of their career if they were to disband? Or would it be each concentrating on one thing so that they could earn more money for each individual thing? That was why the disbanding issue surfaced; it's because EEG wanted to make more money. I'd say that if they disband, Gillian and Charlene would have to step aside for each other in each of the industries so that people could actually accept them as solo artistes. Chances, chances are all that Gillian needs to perfect her skills.
Even if Gillian doesn't directly impact Sa in the acting industry if she was to be promoted into a solo singer, for some reason, EEG hates to see Gillian succeed before and ahead of Sa. Gillian can succeed, of course she can BUT under one condition, after Sa. Once a company is biased, they will always be biased. The only solution is for Gillian to GET OUT! Sorry to be blunt Sa fans.

ooh now i wanna talk about asillysaint's clip -->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PFrK7Y4VlIT_T T_T T_T, that was totally tear jerking! omg, you put the scenes together so perfectly! after all that eg went through, edison had to die! and his spirit returned... T_T the "i love you" part was so cute! yet it was heartbreaking... your mv is more dramatic than windstruck i must say. lol. see, as i've mentioned before, eeg should totally hire you as twins' director!
oh and yup! i saw the "scandal" mv. boy was it hot when i watched it! lol. they were too sexy dancing in the rain. xD se7en rocks my socks! i can't wait for his new music video with ivy. ;D
wait a minute, so there has been reports about "flying fox of snowy mountain" having a bad storyline? aww man, i was hoping for good results! this totally sucks! now i'm thinking about watching the serial only up until gillian dies. lol. i don't have much interest on the rest of the serial actually.. =xx
omg, don't get me started with eeg's fairness. i can write a whole 400 paged thesis paper on it. =.= it's quite hard nowadays to come upon a film with gillian as the female lead that is up to standard with BOK. it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE! back in the days, i always ask myself, "what's the next gillian movie that i needa buy?" now, pshh i know better not to think about it. lol.
Here's the Se7en song from my video -->
http://www.sendspace.com/file/31xnqkJust wanted to share this picture. One word: GORGEOUS. ;D
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4582/cashboygill0wh.jpgoh well it's time for dinner.. i'll post up the rest of my thoughts later... lol.
Thanks for the nice compliments. I wish I resided in HK and had an extremely wealthy father who can help break some biased barriers for Gillian and promote her efficiently for once. I have so many interesting ideas just floating around about which characters and roles I want Gillian to portray that I'm running out of music video and movie clips to develop the story. I see a lot of potential in Gillian whether it be in acting or singing. Gillian just really really needs beefy promotions, she already has the talent to help HK pick up its pace. If only the directors or EEG for that matter was much more concerned and passionate about true talent rather than favoritism, HK wouldn't be stuck in the dumpster like this.
I love KangTa and Vanness! That's crazyily hot!
Yeah, there has been negative feedback about the
Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain's current progression and alterations. I really don't know how things will fall into place if Wong Jing makes anymore dumb decisions.
Yeah. Seems like all of us here together in these 50 pages have already gathered up enough evidence to throw in EEG's face how biased they are towards someone who has only helped their empire grow.
Thanks for the song. I love Se7en as well. He has such an awesome voice. And the Gillian photo? Yes, indeed GORGEOUS!

Guess what you guys! To all the EG fans out there, I just watched a Twins interview that they had in Taiwan, and the hosts asked both of them, "Out of Nicholas Tse, Edison Chen, and Shawn Yue, if they were trying to court you, who would you choose to be your boyfriend?" And Gillian chose Edison! Charlene chose Nicholas because he is in the same company as them, and Gillian chose Edison because he's good looking. And the hosts says that Gillian's face looked very sincere while stating it. And then they asked if Edison was also in their company and Gillian answered that he was.
=D Looks like there's hope for EG! Even if they don't see each other or collaborate with each other, at least we know that Gillian likes Edison the best out of the three.
I would upload the clip but it would take FOREVER to upload the whole thing, or convert, cut, and then upload.
Was this recent? Because Edison is no longer with EEG/Music Plus. I guess Gillian doesn't even know? Or perhaps Edison did resign with EEG/Music Plus secretly??

Anyways, thanks for sharing. I knew all along that EG will forever have chemistry despite everything they have been put through together or separately. Aw, they still keep in contact I bet.

So Blue Skies was for Gillian.
