Anyways, I suddenly have a little obsession with Gillian in ancient style so I made a few manipulations

http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/1195/gill33ok.gif
(I love the background and the swing but too bad I didn't have the right picture where she is happy...I guess, it looks ok?)

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9199/gill47wq.gif
(It was better with the original person The hair didn't seem noticably this lumpy...)

http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7680/gillian24pu.gif
(The picture of Gillian looks really nice but after manipulatiing it, it doesn't really look like her )

Best for last!

(I love this one the most! Looks adorable. Does it look real though?)


The first looks great but the head lokk kind of wierd.

The second i like the original better.

The third Gillian look great and the best looking XLN ever.

The last looks so real, can't tell the different.

Lol, it was funny. SCG are such good friends. It was funny when Charlene hit Steven and he pretended to fall. The ending with Gillian was cute. She slapped him so playfully.

Thanks for sharing. It sound way better than the live preformence. And still i can hardly hear Gillian sing for some parts of the song.

i'm so proud of gillian's new level of maturity in this new series. that intimate scene with her and nie yuan was very very mature and intense. it feels like gillian is finally starting to break out of her protective shell and taking on different scenes despite the restrictions still holding her down. i really hope that this is the start of new characters and emotions that ah gill will play and display down the road.

bluehearts i love your last manipulation of gillian. she looks adorable and it looks so natural

awww...gillian looks really close to steven in that picture...so cute!

usually when i'm looking for new movies to watch, i go on lovehkfilm.com to look at the reviews and i looked on his recommended sites page and i went on the view from the brooklyn bridge site. there i found a review for 49 days and the reviewer basically said that the movie sucked (which i totally disagree) but he did have some very nice things to say about gillian: "She's played by Twin, Gillian Chung, definitely one of the prettiest faces in the world of entertainment today...Probably the biggest boon (blessing) for most comes in the gorgeous form known as Gillian. Classy beauty like this doesn't come along too often, and every chance to behold its magnificence has to be OK at the very least, even if it’s [in] a vapid flick like this one." although i don't agree with his review about the movie, i most definitely agree that gillian is one of the most gorgeous chinese artists ever! infatuated.gif

Oh WOW!! i only gone for one day, and im already lost. It's all good, i read all you guy post, and i have to admit what you guy said was true. Thank you for Little _purple_ bell for the clip. Gill look really pretty, this is like the first series that Gill reveal some skin. I'm quite supprise that they didnt cut that part out like the part Gill kiss Stephen in 49 Days. Her crying is really convince and sorrow, she really play the part well. I would love to see her in more series or move like this. It's expand her acting more wide and more depht, so other people wouldnt use the excuse that she cant act at all, im sorry i cant get over that fact.
I watch her singing live, and it like her vocal got stronger, and in some song, it even overlap Char's. Which is good, she can sing freely and we can hear her voice, watch her on stage dancing with the backup dancer Gill is really move with th music. She dance freely and flexeable not that she isnt one already. In most of the picture Gill and Steven look really close, more then her and Char. WOW!! I guess most male artist like to be around Gill, i mean they been working together for quite long time now.
thank for the picture, it's been long time since i seen Steven. He still look cute as usually and Gill's outfit is really cute and pretty. I love that bow on her shirt, it so weir it look cool in some way. She look like she loose some weight, but she still look healthy. Char look awfully skinny, she really need to gain some weight. Her trade mark usually is her chubby, pouty face and now it gone o.o, kind of sad when you think about it.

Off the topic. I know after i said this, there will be alot basing, but i just realize something. Do you know why EEG being treating Char and Gill differently, this morning i was talking to my friend, who also in the music bussiness over her (USA). I was complain to him how can some company treat two people in the same group differently, when both girls got SAME talent. He answer me really quick. It's either one of the girl sleep with them or her background, meaning rich family. It's got me thinking, the reason why EEG or Mani being giving Char alot of chance to be movie and promote her more then Gill because of Char's background. I hear some where that Char's parent is rich, not REALLY rich, but rich enough to buy their daughter way in the bussiness. Maybe im thinking too much, but maybe EEG did promote Char more because they HAVE to give Char's parent some face. If it's true then is so unfair for Gill.

Thanks for the clip! Now I can finally watch it instead of just listening to the audio portion. biggrin.gif It was so cute when Gillian tied Steven's cape for him! The crowd started hollering as well! lmao.gif Steven and Gillian are just too cute together; like during the part when underpants were handed to Sun Boy'Z, Steven was just fooling around with it, sticking it everywhere, then Gillian just had to ask, "Where do you want to put it?" Steven responded, "They're taking pictures! Where do you want to assist me in putting it?!" Then Gillian just giggled nervously and held onto the underpants with him! loool.gif Eventually, Gillian gave it back to him, and it got where it's supposed to be. On the side, Gillian was pretty observant of noticing that Steven's and Dennis' badges should be switched. blush.gif

Here's a clip when Twins was on TVB ICU show. They showed the Pretty Cure MV. The MV was pretty decent, though in the beginning you couldn't really see Gillian face cause it was tooo bright! Also the clip in the beginning was funny, Gillian peed on herself in ballay class

Thanks for the clips! Gillian mostly sticks to Steven during the show. They give me this brotherly-sisterly bond feeling and it's so adorable hug.gif

I just learn something interesting from the second clip. I didnt' know it was possible that someone can become double lid when they were originally single blink.gif I thought the one thing that doesn't change for a person is their eyes so when I heard that it was surprising sweat.gif

It was funny about the part where Gillian talked about peeing in class loool.gif Poor Gillian, must be embarassing sweat.gif

The MV didn't sync with their mouth movement...It bothered me a little wacko.gif The song melody sounds pretty nice at some parts sweat.gif

Yeah it was really cute, and I didn't really noticed until you mentioned it so I looked back, and it was funny when Gillian hit his arm when he said "You could tell us about your love life". But I bet they do talk to each other on the phone... but Gillian is always working..

I wonder if Gillian's restrictions only apply to productions of the big screen? huh.gif Or is Gillian finally getting some progress of her scenes to be allowed of being more intense? It's pretty unexpected for Gillian to be able to do something like that on-screen, considering her restrictions. At least, the 'little girl' is finally growing up, in terms of what she can do on-screen, despite the fact that the 'little girl' is twenty five already. whistle.gif Anyway, I liked everything of how the scene between CLS and HF was arranged, except for the part where he holds her shoulders; it just felt weird to see the scene suddenly pop up.

Yes, that's right; at least Gillian has already pocketed some new acting techniques and improvements from filming this serial, whether the result is successful or not for the serial in general. With that, Gillian can always bring up what she's learned later on in another project, if she manages to receive another project in the near future. unsure.gif I hope the actual serial will come out soon, then we can actually judge completely on our observations without guessing on things. Hopefully, the serial won't have to wait until it starts snowing to match the theme. blink.gif Let's hope that even if Gillian gets criticisms, there'll still be debation about it with people who look past stereotyping. It would be the best if Gillian wins over a good amount of fans for her acting in this serial; if not, we can hope that HK directors/producers can see her performance and give her opportunities. Gillian's and our biggest hope right now is still Andy; I hope whether good news or bad news, Andy can give some insight on his hope to work with Karena and Gillian soon and if any action's going to be taken soon. sad.gif
I'm not even sure if Mani knew about this scene since Mani was supposedly enjoying her sweet time in the States so perhaps Gillian was surprised herself when she flipped through her scenes and dialogue. blush.gif Hm, this intimate scene contains much more exposure than a simple peck or kiss so hopefully, Gillian will be able to collaborate with Andy in a bold film genre as well. Or perhaps, since this serial will concentrate moreso in Mainland, Gillian's management crew is much more lenient on the content of each scene, intimate or not versus Gillian's local HK films that can threaten others. whistle.gif

With all of these alterations to every character, I'm not so sure about the success and acceptance of this version but either way, Gillian performed her best so whether Mainland enjoyed it or not, I believe the cast couldn't have done anything better than this, Wong Jing's bright ideas to the storyline is at fault, if this serial was to flop. Just from the trailer, Gillian's CLS is interesting and worth watching even if the plot stinks. I guess, Gillian alone, will already contribute half of the viewers; as long as Gillian is the sympathized character who only appears a few episodes, her character is too minor to ruin her image unlike HF, YZY, and MRL. Back in HK, Andy must really push EEG into accepting his invitation.

I really liked that part of when Gillian and Steven just started a little bickering conversation; it was so cute! infatuated.gif I wonder if Gillian could actually trust Steven with the insights of her love life? He seems to straightforward with his tongue, so probably Gillian should stick with Joey as the person that she talks about her love life with. laugh.gif Gillian is pretty frank with what she feels, so I do believe her when she expresses that Steven has matured and learned how to take care of others. We can actually see it with our own eyes. Steven's still his funny self, but he's learned to be more cautious with others and the things around him. blush.gif

Well, Steven admits himself that he had been lazy back in Boy'z in an interview because he used to always rely on Kenny, who is,keep in mind, four years older. It's understandable; Steven was 17 back then, so obviously his mind wouldn't have been as settled down as Kenny's. Even though we see him always joking around and laughing off, Steven is scared. He has expressed that he takes every one of the chances given to him as his last chance; he said he understands that if he doesn't pay up with improvement, the next thing EEG could do could be kicking him out completely instead of regrouping. I think Gillian somewhat feels the same. From that personal interview of hers, we can see how she craves for chances. They aren't given to her very often, or at least the good ones aren't, so she just has to offer up her best and improvements. How could either of Gillian or Steven know what crazy plan EEG has in store for them? It's not easy for them to be the least favourited among the EEG artistes. dry.gif


I LOVE this one so much! infatuated.gif Gillian looks so adorable with Leila's hair and outfit from 'The Legend Of Love'! It definitely looks real! You could fool someone with this picture. Wouldn't it have been awesome if 'The Legend Of Love' actually starred Kenny and Gillian since they sang the themesong? blush.gif I'd like to see Gillian in an ancient costume something like Leila's in TLOL. CLS's wardrobe and hair was disappointing, but her character and Gillian's personal performance are going to make up for it! yeah.gif
Gillian and Steven are extremely close but in terms of issues of the heart, Gillian would best trust Joey and Yumiko moreso than Steven. Steven is just a stress reliever who can make Gillian laugh and turn her frown upside down just like Kenny, their relationship is light, humorous, and sweet.

Well, I believe Steven was never lazy but because Mani kept imprinting that lable on him, Steven couldn't help but feel a bit lazy in comparison to Kenny. For instance, Steven is much more interested in dancing and rapping versus instruments and ballads like Kenny so whenever Kenny practices his music while Steven practices his with a bit of fun (come on, it's dancing), Mani perceives that as being lazy or just plain goofy, not serious enough. If Steven was so much lazier than Kenny and dodged practice etc., then why do both Boy'z fall into the same level of quality during live performances? Wouldn't Steven sound much worse? Anyway, I think Steven just loves playing baby to Kenny knowing that Kenny will always be there for him. I agree. Gillian and Steven seem to comprehend the importance of opportunities, solo ones that is. Aw, poor Gillian and Steven.

I know. I love Gillian in Leila's oufit, it suits Gillian so much. Gillian is just completely breathtaking in ancient clothes.

I agree. This intimate scene only comes to show how mature and in depth Gillian has become with her acting abilities; Gillian's best features, her eyes, have really brought CLS to life, every emotion, every painful memory, and every sorrow is contained in those two eyes, so convincing. I hope that Gillian will receive more mature roles like CLS but in films to show HK who Gillian Chung is, not just Twins.

I'm amazed at the delicate words used to describe Gillian's beauty. I agree as well that Gillian is one of the most beautiful stars HK has at the moment. As much as Gillian's beauty is a plus, it's also a factor that has stalled her acting career. Directors in general never choose a natural beauty like Gillian to portray perky or spunky roles, roles the HK audience love and support, only the conservative and silent characters are thrown into Gillian's basket of roles. n_thumbdown.gif Gillian really needs a grand opportunity to show everyone that a pretty girl can be just as convincing in any role, comedic, cute, serious, or just plain simple. Gillian needs to switch her beauty from a disadvantage into good use. sweat.gif

Gillian was beautiful in her dress outfit and so cute in the school uniform; thanks for sharing. hug.gif

Just to answer your curiousity, Charlene's background is quite wealthy; I mean, just observe the house she grew up in, it's pretty up there. Anyway, there has been some insights that Charlene's father works or is somehow associated with EEG authorities. Charlene's father is a business man; I believe EEG once had to depend on his status to recover from their financial obligations. But some fans insist that even if Charlene's father does have some ties with EEG, it still has nothing to do with Charlene's career. rolleyes.gif Anyway, enough about Charlene.

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

Edit: Forgot to add, I don't really like the Pretty Cure themesong, it doesn't do Gillian's voice any justice. I understand it's supposed to be a cute and energetic song for the anime show but hm, I don't like it. I'm sure my opinions differ from others. sweat.gif

Thanks for the clip. That was so embarassing for Gillian to say she pee on herself in preschool. About the MV, the mv is ok i guess but i'm little disappointed, they just either still or sit while singing. The singing is horrible i can't hear Gillian singing the song.

Perhaps so. Everything in general was more equal and more loosened for Gillian while Mani was away anyway. whistle.gif It'd be so nice if Ng Yu could be in charge of the EEG artistes more; when he was in charge, things were so much better off for Gillian. Gillian was probably surprised and relieved that she gets to do something outside of the box for once. This scene speaks more than a kiss, and if Gillian was able to slip that in, there is no reason for her to be held from kissing. It could very well be possible as you've stated that because this Mainland serial won't bring much of an impact for Gillian in HK, she isn't so limited. Of course we all know the main reason of why Gillian is so restricted is because she is forbidden to bring any huge threats to others. rolleyes.gif

Well, these are problems with remakes. People will always compare to the earlier ones, and the earlier ones are most likely to be better because they are based more on quality rather than producing a serial just for producing a serial. Debation could either be good or bad; debation at least means that there are people noticing it and discussing about it, but then we're never assured about whether people will be stating in a general form or just stereotyping it and bashing it all the way through without taking notice of it at all. So far, Gillian's character of CLS does appear that Gillian will be safe from any harsh criticisms; her character is one that will be gaining sympathy throughout because of her sacrifices throughout her presence and because of her limited screentime. Limited screentime in this case is a good things since it will lighten any penalties held against her and her character. If anything does go on, the characters of HF and YZY will likely to be taking most of the bullets. From my guess, HF will most likely be hated because he lets a woman who is willing to sacrifice all for him like CLS slip away towards death while he still sides with YZY, and later on he'll cause another woman, MRL, misery of her life because of the same reason, YZY. YZY will probably be hated as well because she is the reason that things with the other females were placed out like this, and if her character is as dull as the trailer showed. Ady and her MRL may be spared a bit as well since her screentime probably won't compare to Athena and her YZY either. Does Ady have a big part in the serial as MRL? Larger than Gillian's or about the same? unsure.gif

Gillian and Steven seem to comprehend the importance of opportunities, solo ones that is. Aw, poor Gillian and Steven.

I know. I love Gillian in Leila's oufit, it suits Gillian so much. Gillian is just completely breathtaking in ancient clothes.

Yeah, Joey has expressed to the media that Gillian likes to talk about her love matters with her, and Yumiko would be a good choice to speak with about heart issues as well since Gillian is good friends with her too. It's really good to have a variety of friends around you. Steven is probably quite important to Gillian with his role as a stress reliever because in no doubt Gillian does have a lot of stress around her regarding various things. sweat.gif It's also a bonus for us because with Kenny or Steven around, we see a goofy side of Gillian in public. laugh.gif

I don't believe that Steven slacked off as much as Mani and the media claimed either. Steven's always been more carefree and relaxed with his surroundings while Kenny is the more serious one. In terms of performance, Kenny and Steven weren't that far off from each other while in Boy'z, I agree. Kenny strikes the audience more with ballads while Steven shines during the upbeat fast songs. You can tell that distinction by the solos that they were assigned. With the dancing and fast songs, you'd figure that Steven would be goofy most of the time, but it doesn't mean that he's not serious with his work. Even though I think Kenny has a more stable voice with more emotions than Steven, if Steven practises more with his ballads, he can sound just as good as Kenny. His voice was great in 'Skip Grade Student' (跳班生); Steven actually led the ballad instead of Kenny. The little preview of Steven's ballad duet with Isabella showed that he made lots of improvements on his portrayal of ballads. Like Gillian, Steven just needs more solo chances, and who is here to say that Steven won't make it solo? Steven does love playing baby with Kenny. blush.gif It's actually really cute for the both of them; if those brotherly actions are mutual as seen, then what right does Mani or the media have to assume that Steven's simply being lazy and making Kenny do all the work? For heaven's sake, they're still picking on Steven about laziness nowadays. n_thumbdown.gif Kenny actually went to the Sun Boy'z function as well; he rushed there from being on JSG to make it. When he went up on-stage, he immediately hugged Steven because he was so proud, and Steven was so touched.

Gillian needs a high quality ancient outfit. Perhaps she can receive a film role of modern times that involves a reincarnation plot so that she'll get to portray something ancient, seeing that HK films are rarely based solely on an ancient plot. shifty.gif

Even though the clip was a bit bright, Gillian looked awesome with straight hair. infatuated.gif I like this music video in that, all of the scenes were equal. whistle.gif It wasn't so difficult was it to balance out the scenes so I don't understand why this type of pattern cannot be accomplised in other Twins music videos. n_thumbdown.gif Anyway, Gillian's eyes were huge, like anime's too. Gillian was beautiful in her dress outfit and so cute in the school uniform; thanks for sharing. hug.gif

Just to answer your curiousity, Charlene's background is quite wealthy; I mean, just observe the house she grew up in, it's pretty up there. Anyway, there has been some insights that Charlene's father works or is somehow associated with EEG authorities. Charlene's father is a business man; I believe EEG once had to depend on his status to recover from their financial obligations. But some fans insist that even if Charlene's father does have some ties with EEG, it still has nothing to do with Charlene's career. rolleyes.gif Anyway, enough about Charlene.

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

Edit: Forgot to add, I don't really like the Pretty Cure themesong, it doesn't do Gillian's voice any justice. I understand it's supposed to be a cute and energetic song for the anime show but hm, I don't like it. I'm sure my opinions differ from others. sweat.gif

I guess they decided to do something fair this time, seeing that it's made for younger children. Wouldn't want to plant bad thoughts such as favoritism or biases into little kids.... rolleyes.gif This pattern with equal scenes should be followed for all MVs in my opinion. dry.gif

I agree. No matter how much fans claim that their idols aren't being helped in any way with their careers when they're related to someone of high authority, they still have to believe it that there will more or less be some influence to it. The thing that makes the difference is whether the artistes work hard, try to improve, and have talents or are they just there because someone put them there with power. In case any Charlene fans are misunderstanding, no, I'm not implying anything negative about Charlene; I'm just stating that in general, being related to someone of high authority does give an artiste advantages. Sometimes things aren't just spoon-fed to them, but solely more chances and opportunities already make a huge difference in one's career. I don't remember whether Charlene's father is an actual EEG executive or is he a partner to EEG; I do remember that he was somehow in charge of the income of Twins concerts. It sounded like a big matter back then because there were reports claiming that he had been tucking part of the earnings in for himself since the word of suspicion came up about how could EEG still be losing profit of holding Twins concerts when each concert has been full? The news eventually faded and wasn't mentioned of though. Oops, getting off-topic again. sweat.gif Enough about that.

Actually I find Pretty Cure theme song alright. Sounds sweet and YOUNG! Lol.. and yeah you can't really tell when Gillian is singing. You harly hear her.

Twins sang together for the whole song, and Gillian's voice was actually leading the song from what I hear. It's probably because of the higher pitch of Gillian's voice, and cartoon songs are usually higher pitched and sweeter. I don't really like the song though; it just repeats itself a lot, and the melody was slightly weird. sweat.gif

Thnx for it! The song is ok and the MV isn't bad. It's very anime-ish so it fits the theme. I can't believe Gillian peed in Ballet class. Why? I don't understand canto much so yeah. Lol.....

No, Gillian didn't pee in ballet class. She peed herself when she was in kindergarten; they just showed a photo of her doing ballet after she said that because the show was showing various photos of Gillian's and Charlene's childhood throughout the interview, but it didn't correspond with what they were saying.

I liked her hair as well; if Gillian's hair does still have to stay curly for a bit more, I'd rather it be in these braids than the poofy curly hair. wacko.gif The braids make her look more energetic, and it somehow makes her features stand out even more than usual to me. sweat.gif I like her top, but I wish she would've put second thoughts on her pants. sweat.gif

Oooo, look at Kenny and Gillian. Kenny and Gillian sitting on a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g, first comes love, then comes marriage la la la...you guys know the song right? Or is it just an elementary thing? blink.gif Anyway, Kenny and Gillian look really cute together, can't wait to see their chemistry in their live duet soon. sweat.gif

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

Haha! You're so cute about KG! laugh.gif I can't wait until tomorrow; then hopefully we'll be able to see their live performance together. *crosses fingers* I hope we aren't disappointed; I really want to see KG's chemistry on-stage!

On the side, Twins revealed more plans about their Genting. Reporters asked them if they'd want to do a hot and intimate dance with Kenny since he's coming as their guest, Charlene answered that they could think about it while Gillian joked and said, 'I'm just afraid that he isn't able to handle us both at the same time!' You know, Kenny doesn't have to handle them both at the same time; I'm quite fine with a little one-on-one. whistle.gif (j/k) They also said the concert will be at least 50% like the one held in HK, but some parts in the middle will be different. There'll be more medleys, and one new outfit is going to be made, but Gillian said that it may have a touch of sexiness.

EDIT: Ooh!! Another cute KG fact from the news today! Kenny's new album includes a photoshoot collection with it, and he has few sexy shots with it, so the girls, who are newcomers to EEG, who are supposedly promoting his album with him (?) were asked if they would like to act in one of Kenny's MVS. They said that they would hope to, but they would have to see how intimate they have to get. Then Mani, who was standing with them, burst Kenny's bubble and claimed that Kenny is very picky by saying, "He says that he is only willing to kiss Charlene, Gillian, and Ella!" Well, someone's been having desires about Gillian. rolleyes.gif He already kissed Charlene; he's gotten pretty intimate with Ella already, and I'd say the scenes with Ella pretty much equal to a kissing scene; the MV with Gillian was just hugging at the most , so I think KG deserves a kissing scene too. It would fulfill Kenny's 'wishes', and not to mention if Mani allows this for the sake of Kenny, then Gillian's restrictions will be off! Or maybe just for a one time thing, but that's better than nothing. It sounds so weird for Mani to associate Gillian with the term 'kissing' as well; you'd think she'd avoid it in any aspect, eh? Anyway, didn't Kenny kiss Koey before though? Or was he not willing to do that but did it anyway? sweat.gif He kissed Steven too, but Kenny was obviously forced on that one according to the film, lol.

SEEING THESE PICTURES OF GILLIAN AMAZED ME SO MUCH.
BUT I JUST HAVE TO SAY THIS......IS IT JUST ME OR DOES EVERYONE ELSE SEES IT TOO?
I NOTICE THAT IN THESE PICTURES; IT DOESN'T REALLY LOOK LIKE GILLIAN AT ALL.
WHEN I SCROLL DOWN AND SAW THESE PICTURES I WAS LIKE "WHAT, WHO'S THIS WITH CHARLENE? SHE DOESN'T LOOK ASIAN" UNTIL I LOOK CLOSELY AT THE ONE BY HERSELF AND REALIZE THAT IT'S "GILLIAN". I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT AND NOT BEING ABLE TO RECOGNIZE GILLIAN. SHE REALLY DOESN'T LOOK FULLY ASIAN ESPECIALLY WITH THAT KIND OF HAIR STYLE. IT'S PRETTY ON HER THOUGH. IT MAKES GILLIAN LOOK EVERY EXOTIC AND VERY MIXED, TOO.


Can someone please upload Twins' performance? The one where Charlene was hit by a glow stick. I really want to see it. Thanks so much! I really appreciated.

The plot does sound similar; nevertheless, both ideas were good plots. I should try to get around of watching that film because it sounds interesting as a simple romance story. I agree that it would be great if Gillian could have an opportunity like that, but there may be things said about copying. It would just be good if Gillian could be offered a romance film. blush.gif

That what i mean, im not saying that Char's dad buy the fame for her or spoon-fed or anything. The thing having dad associated with EEG DOES help Char's career a little bit, no matter how muxh hteir fan claim because of talent. Char oes have talent, but having dad like that help her having more oppoyunities more then Gill. no wonder in most concert, Char alway have better outfit, not saying Gill is ugly, but Char's is more appeal. I find is very unfair for Gill, they both work hard but Char get more pay off then Gill. Some time I think Gill would do better if her manager wouldn't treat her unfair.

Anyway, thank for the cliip and all the picture you guy post it up. Gill look more pretty more, she dress less and show little skin. I love how she braid her hair like that, look so cute and innocent, but by having her hair braid i think after she taking it off, it will curl again. the Semir picture looks so ccool and pretty. I guess this ads focus on series face, Gill's hair look acutally nice in there; so does the outfit.

Beside Char, the people i think consider Gill's friend is Joey, Kenny, Steven and maybe Yumiko. I hear on one of the interview saying that Gill is pretty close to Joey becuase they alway talking about her love life, and see how close she is toward Steven and Kenny. I guess they are her guy friend hug.gif Its good to know she got alot of friend, that mean she not quite as people say she was.

Well, these are problems with remakes. People will always compare to the earlier ones, and the earlier ones are most likely to be better because they are based more on quality rather than producing a serial just for producing a serial. Debation could either be good or bad; debation at least means that there are people noticing it and discussing about it, but then we're never assured about whether people will be stating in a general form or just stereotyping it and bashing it all the way through without taking notice of it at all. So far, Gillian's character of CLS does appear that Gillian will be safe from any harsh criticisms; her character is one that will be gaining sympathy throughout because of her sacrifices throughout her presence and because of her limited screentime. Limited screentime in this case is a good things since it will lighten any penalties held against her and her character. If anything does go on, the characters of HF and YZY will likely to be taking most of the bullets. From my guess, HF will most likely be hated because he lets a woman who is willing to sacrifice all for him like CLS slip away towards death while he still sides with YZY, and later on he'll cause another woman, MRL, misery of her life because of the same reason, YZY. YZY will probably be hated as well because she is the reason that things with the other females were placed out like this, and if her character is as dull as the trailer showed. Ady and her MRL may be spared a bit as well since her screentime probably won't compare to Athena and her YZY either. Does Ady have a big part in the serial as MRL? Larger than Gillian's or about the same? unsure.gif

I agree. No matter how much fans claim that their idols aren't being helped in any way with their careers when they're related to someone of high authority, they still have to believe it that there will more or less be some influence to it.

You know what's funny, earlier adaptations of these novels (80's versions) perhaps weren't even that popular, loved, nor accepted during their original release time but are probably only surfacing due to heavy comparisons and the original cast that used to be nobodies became mega somebodies today. For instance, this altered version of A Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain may not gain as many applauses now but 30 years from now, who knows? blush.gif Nie Yuan and Gillian may become legends later on in some other grand project and people in general may review this serial with a different perception. Things like this happens all the time. sweat.gif Now, I'm not saying that these earlier adaptations weren't famous at all; of course, they were but perhaps not to the extent of how the audience today in general are stretching their praises. There seems to be a stereotype that the newer versions can never measure up to the older versions, some serials, that's true but for others, it's not. People just need to be open minded about each version in order to enjoy it.

Athena as YZY seems to have just as big of a role as HF while both Gillian and Ady have approximately the same screen time and importance, CLS is the one gaining sympathy points in the beginning of HF's chaos whereas MRL is the one suffering at the end of HF's mess. Hm, it does appear as though HF only loves YZY. blink.gif Even though, MRL only enters the picture towards the end but her changes are too huge and surprising to digest. I'm sure her character will receive major complaints and criticisms. YZY has never really been a favorable character in the novel so after all of these alterations, she'll definitely be the most popular female character in a pool of criticisms that is. wacko.gif Nie Yuan as HF? unsure.gif Nie Yuan has his own charm but I didn't expect him to be a lead especially for this novel. For some reason, I feel that the cast is weakened by Nie Yuan. The serial itself is already difficult to accept, Nie Yuan isn't such a strong male figure to save the serial alongside three beauties. But I could be wrong. I'm not too concerned about the outcome of this serial because come on, having hope in Wong Jing productions is to shoot myself in the foot but I hope that Gillian's reputation and image won't be dented at all by this serial.

I agree. I totally loved this line: "Sometimes things aren't just spoon-fed to them, but solely more chances and opportunities already make a huge difference in one's career." I guess, some fans can never really accept that their idol has a backbone aside from talent and potential; it's difficult to pop their bubble isn't it? whistle.gif Well, that's reality. Anyway, I remember glancing at similar news about Sa's father being some type of business man involved with EEG. EEG has a lot of power, they can produce any type of media and tabloid they wish on an artist for promotions, on the same token, they can kill any piece of information or rumor that places them in a negative light. Come on, it's EEG, people in general are aware that EEG aren't the cleanest people, this type of thing shouldn't come as a surprise actually. whistle.gif

It would fulfill Kenny's 'wishes', and not to mention if Mani allows this for the sake of Kenny, then Gillian's restrictions will be off! Or maybe just for a one time thing, but that's better than nothing. It sounds so weird for Mani to associate Gillian with the term 'kissing' as well; you'd think she'd avoid it in any aspect, eh? Anyway, didn't Kenny kiss Koey before though? Or was he not willing to do that but did it anyway? sweat.gif He kissed Steven too, but Kenny was obviously forced on that one according to the film, lol.
Hm, any news about the long awaited clip of the Kenny and Gillian duet?

Gillian is too cute with her witty answer. Kenny doesn't need to handle anyone else but his own master, Gillian. loool.gif I can't wait to see their new outfit. Sexiness? Hm, I don't how much sexier Sa's outfits can become. blink.gif But as for Gillian's, I'm so excited. Gillian needs to show off her pretty figure. yeah.gif

Mani is rolleyes.gif. Kenny probably already expressed the desire to kiss Gillian a long time ago but Mani has been ignoring that request for quite some time now. If Mani had some decency, Kenny and Gillian would have already shared a special kiss in their Conscious Discovery music video just like Kenny and Sa. I mean, aside from music videos, Mani knows that Kenny and Gillian won't be able to collaborate much onscreen so it's a pity Mani let that chance slip by. Yeah, Kenny and Koey kissed. That kiss was blink.gif. Anyway, hopefully Kenny and Gillian will have another opportunity to collaborate onscreen and musically, I hope they perform live again at Twins World Tour Concerts. clapping.gif

Edit: Hey, you know about asillysaint's version of Zero Charm? I just found out that Ella Koon starred in a movie called 'Without Words' that has a pretty similar plot. I haven't watched the movie yet, but I read someone's blog talking about the movie.
http://eileen.ron-ng.net/
The July 12th blog, a good amount of the movie seems pretty similar to asillysaint's idea. It would have been great if Gillian were to act in a movie like that, but seeing how Ella already acted in a movie kind of like that, if Gillian were to act in a movie with a similar plot, people might not accept it and say that Gillian's movie is copying Ella's.
Oh well. There are still so many more scripts that will expose Gillian's acting potential. I'm just glad HK is willing to invest in such a storyline; I want to watch this film too. sweat.gif

I think this storyline was simple and cute, which suited Kenny and Gillian but I guess, it's fine. Gillian can always portray more challenging roles. I agree. If Ella already participated in a similar film, it's best if Gillian stars in another genre.

Thanks for sharing the photos. My favorite ones are:

SEEING THESE PICTURES OF GILLIAN AMAZED ME SO MUCH.
BUT I JUST HAVE TO SAY THIS......IS IT JUST ME OR DOES EVERYONE ELSE SEES IT TOO?
I NOTICE THAT IN THESE PICTURES; IT DOESN'T REALLY LOOK LIKE GILLIAN AT ALL.
WHEN I SCROLL DOWN AND SAW THESE PICTURES I WAS LIKE "WHAT, WHO'S THIS WITH CHARLENE? SHE DOESN'T LOOK ASIAN" UNTIL I LOOK CLOSELY AT THE ONE BY HERSELF AND REALIZE THAT IT'S "GILLIAN". I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT AND NOT BEING ABLE TO RECOGNIZE GILLIAN. SHE REALLY DOESN'T LOOK FULLY ASIAN ESPECIALLY WITH THAT KIND OF HAIR STYLE. IT'S PRETTY ON HER THOUGH. IT MAKES GILLIAN LOOK EVERY EXOTIC AND VERY MIXED, TOO.


Can someone please upload Twins' performance? The one where Charlene was hit by a glow stick. I really want to see it. Thanks so much! I really appreciated.
I agree. Gillian doesn't look full Chinese. Gillian has this glow, her facial features are so sharp and unique, I'm sure she's mixed and absolutely beautiful.

I'll try to reupload the video. I'm not sure if I'll have time or not so please be patient if it takes a while. down.gif

That what i mean, im not saying that Char's dad buy the fame for her or spoon-fed or anything. The thing having dad associated with EEG DOES help Char's career a little bit, no matter how muxh hteir fan claim because of talent. Char oes have talent, but having dad like that help her having more oppoyunities more then Gill. no wonder in most concert, Char alway have better outfit, not saying Gill is ugly, but Char's is more appeal. I find is very unfair for Gill, they both work hard but Char get more pay off then Gill. Some time I think Gill would do better if her manager wouldn't treat her unfair.
I think both Twins' concert outfits are fine but what bothered me the most were, the cover and songs/concert time. Sa had guest stars (Nic and her father) while Gillian had none. I mean, couldn't they have invited Stephen as Gillian's dueling buddy since Gillian's theme was martial arts? Sa sang three ballads and Gillian only sang two songs. On the concert cover (DVD Version), Gillian's face was either in side view (not full front) or her pictures were so much smaller than Sa's. Sorry but that irritates me a lot. During the concert, how the overall concert was edited totally geared towards Sa. Is it so difficult to perhaps concentrate on Gillian a bit longer to balance things out? That's why I really wish Gillian had sang a ballad along her two other fast songs so the camera can zoom in and out on Gillian as she just walks around to greet the audience. I couldn't see enough of Gillian while she was kicking butt onstage and dancing.

I wish Gillian the best.

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

Ahhh....OMG, thats sooooooo cute!! The part bout willing to kiss Sa and Ella kinda burst my bubble but seeing that he already kissed Sa and had intimate scenes with Ella makes me happy!!!! Ah....only if that would come true. Thinking of it, I think the chance of Gill being able to kiss Kenny is high. Mani wants to promote him and wouldn't it be helpful to have Gillian star in one of his MVs????? Plus, Mani doesn't seem so reluctant to put KG together as a "pair" or in a sentence as she does for anyone else. clapping.gif Kenny actually kissed Steven several times. He kissed Steven during one of his b-day party this year and it wasn't even forced. Lol. He surprised Steven with the kiss. Off topic but yeah.....

It would be nice if the chance for Gillian to kiss Kenny is high; I wouldn't mind seeing Gillian's first kiss go to Kenny. shifty.gif I wonder if they'll film anymore MVs for Kenny? They're selling the theme of Japan so much for his new album, so they shot all the MVs in Japan except for Kenny's duet with Isabella. I hope that KG could reunite on-screen sometime soon. Yeah, I know; Kenny surprised Steven at his birthday with a kiss on the lips! It shows how close they are!

You know what's funny, earlier adaptations of these novels (80's versions) perhaps weren't even that popular, loved, nor accepted during their original release time but are probably only surfacing due to heavy comparisons and the original cast that used to be nobodies became mega somebodies today. For instance, this altered version of A Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain may not gain as many applauses now but 30 years from now, who knows? blush.gif Nie Yuan and Gillian may become legends later on in some other grand project and people in general may review this serial with a different perception. Things like this happens all the time. sweat.gif Now, I'm not saying that these earlier adaptations weren't famous at all; of course, they were but perhaps not to the extent of how the audience today in general are stretching their praises. There seems to be a stereotype that the newer versions can never measure up to the older versions, some serials, that's true but for others, it's not. People just need to be open minded about each version in order to enjoy it.

Athena as YZY seems to have just as big of a role as HF while both Gillian and Ady have approximately the same screen time and importance, CLS is the one gaining sympathy points in the beginning of HF's chaos whereas MRL is the one suffering at the end of HF's mess. Hm, it does appear as though HF only loves YZY. blink.gif Even though, MRL only enters the picture towards the end but her changes are too huge and surprising to digest. I'm sure her character will receive major complaints and criticisms. YZY has never really been a favorable character in the novel so after all of these alterations, she'll definitely be the most popular female character in a pool of criticisms that is. wacko.gif Nie Yuan as HF? unsure.gif Nie Yuan has his own charm but I didn't expect him to be a lead especially for this novel. For some reason, I feel that the cast is weakened by Nie Yuan. The serial itself is already difficult to accept, Nie Yuan isn't such a strong male figure to save the serial alongside three beauties. But I could be wrong. I'm not too concerned about the outcome of this serial because come on, having hope in Wong Jing productions is to shoot myself in the foot but I hope that Gillian's reputation and image won't be dented at all by this serial.

Oh yes, you're right about how earlier adaptations of novels are much more loved during this time period rather than during the actual time of release. The stereotyping is very strong nowadays of how artistes of earlier generations can all sing/act while majority of the present generations cannot. I do agree of how there is more quality of artistes and productions back then, but I'd say there were still people who don't act or sing decently back then and people who are able to sing and act decently nowadays as well, unlike how it is perceived to the people who tend to stereotype about that fact. New adaptations could be just as good as the earlier ones, but I admit that there are remakes that are just horrible and right off stupid. Those who aren't able to stay open-minded just right away turn on the 'shut down' button right when they start to watch the new adaptations to criticize everything about it when they should give it a benefit of a doubt to watch it without prejudgement. Would there be any point of doing a remake if everything just went according to the earlier adaptations? Why don't we just go read the novel instead? That way we can get the most original information. rolleyes.gif But the producers do have to keep in mind to make good alterations and not go completely bizarre with the changes, like what we're seeing with MRL. There may just be a character or a part of the storyline that will be able to come clean through the put-downs. Perhaps people are just forgetting that the 'mega somebodies' are bound to have times back then where their acting weren't the best either. Just take a look at Maggie Cheung MY; she's a great example of someone who made it to her place now based on improvements of her acting. She was once criticized for bad acting, but she broke them through with her improvements. I really hope Gillian could work her way to prove people wrong as well; we, as fans, notice Gillian's improvements, but more has to be done to prove something to the general public which is already forcefully denying her abilities whether she does well or not.

Throughout all the adaptations of this novel except TVB's 1999 version, HF's only love had always been YZY, I believe. CLS and MRL appear through the different timelines to create the love triangles. With the three females, CLS has always been the favoured one for the readers and audience because of how much her character is sympathized for. Come to think of it, HF is an easily hated character as well. He causes all these messes and miseries for others because he didn't pick the right person to love. Geez, in the novel, the only reason HF didn't love CLS is because she isn't beautiful. I wonder how all those adaptations pulled that point off since they've nearly all chose beauties for the role? wacko.gif Anyway, CLS's character seems like the safest one out of the main characters; her character is simply made to lure tears out of the audience, and with the limited screentime, the audience will likely just remember how much she sacrificed and how she died. MRL's character sounds so extreme because so many things happen to here in such a short time, and the building of her character is definitely far off from the novel. wacko.gif She may face some criticisms, but she may be able to grab a few sympathy points here and there, perhaps? Come on, things that happen to her are most caused by HF, and she has to suffer a lot as well. It's just that unlike CLS's simple and direct sacrifices, MRL's suffers are more complicated and involve many other people; it's probably because they need to set things up to tie the strings and get ready to end the story. sweat.gif I don't have many comments towards the character YZY other than 'Good Luck'. Athena sounded pretty confident with YZY though; it's still kind of bad for her to be putting down the other characters of CLS and MRL just to show how YZY's character is so much better in that interview earlier, despite that YZY has been the least favourite out of them all. sweat.gif I agree about Nie Yuan; his three leading ladies are all more famous compared to him. sweat.gif Gillian and Ady may have the strength to save the serial a bit, but with their screentime, it's still not all that promising, considering it's Nie Yuan and Athena who basically carry the serial. Least promising of all, it's produced by Wong Jing. Wong Jing has made it clear that he intends on 'improving' the serial with changes. That statement actually sounded quite scary to me. sad.gif I'm just anticipating on Gillian's scenes of emotions, and that's it. Everything else about the general plot, I have no hopes on, especially the ending part of the serial with Ady's MRL.

I agree. I totally loved this line: "Sometimes things aren't just spoon-fed to them, but solely more chances and opportunities already make a huge difference in one's career." I guess, some fans can never really accept that their idol has a backbone aside from talent and potential; it's difficult to pop their bubble isn't it? whistle.gif Well, that's reality. Anyway, I remember glancing at similar news about Sa's father being some type of business man involved with EEG. EEG has a lot of power, they can produce any type of media and tabloid they wish on an artist for promotions, on the same token, they can kill any piece of information or rumor that places them in a negative light. Come on, it's EEG, people in general are aware that EEG aren't the cleanest people, this type of thing shouldn't come as a surprise actually. whistle.gif

Yes, we can see that contrast clearly with the two members of Twins, the difference between more chances and less chances. I don't need to say anymore about that point since we've been through it, and we're all clear on it. I don't see why it's so hard to accept that for the fans; if their idol does have the potential and talent, shouldn't they be glad someone is there to give them the chances to show off with it? It would only be hard if your idol is actually one who is talentless but is just there in the showbiz because of relations though. sweat.gif The difference between those who have a backbone and those who don't is huge; can you believe that Mani was actually screamed at by Mr. Yeung when she didn't accompany Nic to the airport? blink.gif Doesn't that show something? Usually Mani is the one to alter the fates of others and yell at others, but if she does something wrong to someone who has someone in a higher power than her, it's toodles to her as well with no exceptions. I guess everyone just has a different path paved for them. Sometimes, EEG appears scary because they seem like a corporation that is able to alter so many things into their favour. It's like that line in '49 Days' that Siu Chin's teacher said to her, 'With money, black could be turned to white, and twisted could go back to straight.' blink.gif It's reality, but just knowing that makes the world another shade darker. unsure.gif

Nope. I seriously have been hanging around forums all day just in case the clip pops up, but I haven't seen anything about it yet. down.gif

Perhaps their new outfits will be more matching? It'd be pretty bizarre if they intend to be making Charlene's outfit anymore sexier, so maybe they're making an outfit that's equally sexy for them? Or maybe they're making one for Gillian enough to be considered sexy in, but making Charlene's more sexier than Gillian's? blink.gif I don't know; I guess we'll find out when the concert comes out. I agree, Kenny should only be responsible to Gillian because he's already given himself as a present to her. rolleyes.gif Because Gillian is worried that he isn't able to handle both, he'll done fine with just one. innocent.gif

Wasn't Mani away during the time of when Kenny and Gillian filmed the MV for their duet though? I think she was away, so we probably can't blame it on her unless she gave one specific order before she left, which is 'Gillian is not allowed to give out her first on-screen kiss out while I'm gone'. sweat.gif It could be possible though. I'm still not over the fact that so many scenes were filmed for the 'Conscience Discovery' MV, but so little were officially released. In my opinion, they could've cut out some of the scenes of where they were just standing and sitting around singing the song and replaced it with some cute scenes between KG. Where's Gillian's crying scene? The one that she was praised so much about? dry.gif The MV, if in a perfect world, should've ended with KG reuniting instead of staying broken up; they should've hugged and shared a special kiss to make up with each other. dry.gif It's also so crappy that the MV was never officially released; only the karaoke version has been released. They should've filmed something from their little celebration for Gillian's birthday at the end of their filming of the MV that Kenny mentioned about, the time when he tried to get Gillian drunk. sweat.gif Wouldn't it be awesome if this statement by Mani is some kind of foreshadowing about a possible kiss between KG? blush.gif KG should get a film together like they were supposed to three years ago. Eh, but knowing Mani's doing, how could that ever happen? closedeyes.gif Even a MV collaboration between KG would satisfy me though. happy.gif I hope they have more chances to collaborate musically in the future as well. It'd be so awesome if they decided to slip the duet into the World Tour Concerts. blush.gif I mean, Kenny's there anyway, so why waste a chance to slip a duet in? I heard from a Malaysian fan that 'Conscience Discovery' actually made it on the chinese song chart in Malaysia; it stayed on for a few weeks. Come to think of it, it's actually pretty awesome being Kenny, he gets a free trip to Genting just by being a guest at Twins' concert! laugh.gif The kiss between Kenny and Koey (Darn, I'm still not used to calling her Celine! Koey sounds nicer anyway. closedeyes.gif) looked a bit weird; it was kind of unnecessary to have the kiss there. What was the point of it anyway? Or what was the plot of the MV?

That would've been so awesome if Stephen was invited as Gillian's guest in fighting! Stephen probably would've accepted anyway because he is so supportive towards Gillian, but of course no such thought had been put onto mind. dry.gif Seeing that they're still planning the format of their World Tour, I seriously hope that they make some adjustments for Gillian's solo part. Along with her two fast songs, Gillian should be able to calm down from her excessive fighting and sing a ballad. Gillian has a lot of strength in singing ballads, so it'd be great if she could sing one publicly solo. Perhaps she can sing 'One Collision Two Separations'? I'd love to hear her sing that, and she's expressed that she likes singing it as well. blush.gif In a fair world, Kenny should be Gillian's personal guest this time around for the World Tours with the two of them singing their duet together because Charlene had her personal guests during their concerts in HK. dry.gif It's always been such a hard task for them to do even when it's just focusing on Gillian a bit more or balancing things out a bit more. So simple yet so hard for them. I want some alterations to be made, just enough to balance things out are fine. Then perhaps if they make more changes than planned, they could release VCDs/DVDs for it? I'd still buy it if I knew that this one is much more balanced out between the two people. innocent.gif

The new generation of stars versus the older generation of artists is an absurd idea. Sure, tiny comparisons here and there are appropriate but to always compare the old and new generation of actors/singers/stars in general wouldn't make much sense, simply because, the older stars that are constantly used to point out flaws in the newer generation of stars are the best. They have endured and survived through the process of filteration and time against other stars who were weaker or less talented than them. They have achieved a certain degree of status, acceptance, and success, enough to still be visibly present in the minds of the audience. Not every individual who became a singer/actor 20 years ago is still remembered nor called as legendary, the ones we know of today are obviously the stronger ones who have chose to remain in the ET industry. The generation at present still have to prove themselves through the same process of filteration and time. It's like comparing a rock to a diamond, which wouldn't be fair. Diamonds (the older generation) were granted the time to make proper improvements in order to end up beautifully polished for everyone to enjoy whereas the rock (the current generation) are still undergoing changes and adjustments. Realistically, rocks would become diamonds, so there is no need to always compare the old and new generation of stars.

I agree. With each new adaptation, new changes and alterations are bound to happen, viewers need to acknowledge that; if they can't then, they mind as well read the novel for the most original version. Because of how quickly news and everything travels through the internet, fans everywhere will be influenced by others' opinions even before watching the serial so there would already be a bias there. Some fans can never accept the fact that Gillian is no longer the wooden girl next door but rather quite a convincing beauty. Preferences and opinions are acceptable but to claim that Gillian is still below average in acting wouldn't necessarily fall into those categories anymore but rather, just plain bitterness and bias.

Yeah, HF isn't the most honorable bachelor. He does cause endless harm and heart break for those beautiful women around him. It is quite shallow of him to refuse CLS, all because she wasn't physically beautiful enough. This YZY doesn't sound too nice nor lovable either so it would totally be difficult to accept HF loving and caring for only YZY. HF falls in love with MRL for her unique beauty and youth as well; gosh, what a superficial hero eh? wacko.gif Anyway, I might enjoy Ady as MRL considering that she's one of my favorite actresses at the moment besides Gillian. Just from the trailer, Wong Jing altered MRL from an ice girl to a bubbly energetic character, which suits Ady a whole lot; Ady's overall performance isn't horrible, she actually brings MRL to life with her cute portrayal but MRL's obstacles are just hard to digest. Hm, having enjoyed the majority of Ady's work, I may enjoy Ady's MRL despite all of the awful things that happen towards the end. Ady is just too convincing, I wouldn't want to miss this portrayal either. I'm not going to pay attention to the overall storyline and alterations but I'll just concentrate on Gillian and Ady's portrayals, their characters, their tears, and their scenes. Hopefully, the serial won't be as bad as we all fear. sweat.gif

Yes, we can see that contrast clearly with the two members of Twins, the difference between more chances and less chances. I don't need to say anymore about that point since we've been through it, and we're all clear on it. I don't see why it's so hard to accept that for the fans; if their idol does have the potential and talent, shouldn't they be glad someone is there to give them the chances to show off with it? It would only be hard if your idol is actually one who is talentless but is just there in the showbiz because of relations though. sweat.gif The difference between those who have a backbone and those who don't is huge; can you believe that Mani was actually screamed at by Mr. Yeung when she didn't accompany Nic to the airport? blink.gif Doesn't that show something? Usually Mani is the one to alter the fates of others and yell at others, but if she does something wrong to someone who has someone in a higher power than her, it's toodles to her as well with no exceptions. I guess everyone just has a different path paved for them. Sometimes, EEG appears scary because they seem like a corporation that is able to alter so many things into their favour. It's like that line in '49 Days' that Siu Chin's teacher said to her, 'With money, black could be turned to white, and twisted could go back to straight.' blink.gif It's reality, but just knowing that makes the world another shade darker. unsure.gif
Yup. EEG is a bunch of scary old folks, they go crazy with their power. wacko.gif Wow, not sending Nic to the airport was turned into that huge of a deal? blink.gif Man, no wonder why Gillian feels so suffocated and caged up with those silly restrictions YET cannot do a thing to help herself except pray for more and better opportunities to help save her and expose her potential; signing a contract with EEG is like selling your soul to them forever! blink.gif OR until EEG decides you're of no use to them anymore but wonder when that will be for Gillian? Poor Gillian. The ET industry is a wicked and cruel dark world, only those with power can turn the tables. I bet, Gillian wasn't even this aware how evil competition, money, and fame can transform people into heartless creatures. When Gillian decided to enter the ET industry, she was still so so young, so hopeful to work hard for her family and to clear her family's financial obligations but little did she know, this was just the beginning of something not too beautiful and bright afterall. down.gif Life is simply not a fairytale. If Gillian was born into a wealthy family with choices, with no concerns, and with no obligations, Gillian wouldn't have chosen to enter such a lonely shallow world, the ET industry.

Perhaps their new outfits will be more matching? It'd be pretty bizarre if they intend to be making Charlene's outfit anymore sexier, so maybe they're making an outfit that's equally sexy for them? Or maybe they're making one for Gillian enough to be considered sexy in, but making Charlene's more sexier than Gillian's? blink.gif I don't know; I guess we'll find out when the concert comes out. I agree, Kenny should only be responsible to Gillian because he's already given himself as a present to her. rolleyes.gif Because Gillian is worried that he isn't able to handle both, he'll done fine with just one. innocent.gif

Wasn't Mani away during the time of when Kenny and Gillian filmed the MV for their duet though? I think she was away, so we probably can't blame it on her unless she gave one specific order before she left, which is 'Gillian is not allowed to give out her first on-screen kiss out while I'm gone'. sweat.gif It could be possible though. I'm still not over the fact that so many scenes were filmed for the 'Conscience Discovery' MV, but so little were officially released. In my opinion, they could've cut out some of the scenes of where they were just standing and sitting around singing the song and replaced it with some cute scenes between KG. Where's Gillian's crying scene? The one that she was praised so much about? dry.gif The MV, if in a perfect world, should've ended with KG reuniting instead of staying broken up; they should've hugged and shared a special kiss to make up with each other. dry.gif It's also so crappy that the MV was never officially released; only the karaoke version has been released. They should've filmed something from their little celebration for Gillian's birthday at the end of their filming of the MV that Kenny mentioned about, the time when he tried to get Gillian drunk. sweat.gif Wouldn't it be awesome if this statement by Mani is some kind of foreshadowing about a possible kiss between KG? blush.gif KG should get a film together like they were supposed to three years ago. Eh, but knowing Mani's doing, how could that ever happen? closedeyes.gif Even a MV collaboration between KG would satisfy me though. happy.gif I hope they have more chances to collaborate musically in the future as well. It'd be so awesome if they decided to slip the duet into the World Tour Concerts. blush.gif I mean, Kenny's there anyway, so why waste a chance to slip a duet in? I heard from a Malaysian fan that 'Conscience Discovery' actually made it on the chinese song chart in Malaysia; it stayed on for a few weeks. Come to think of it, it's actually pretty awesome being Kenny, he gets a free trip to Genting just by being a guest at Twins' concert! laugh.gif The kiss between Kenny and Koey (Darn, I'm still not used to calling her Celine! Koey sounds nicer anyway. closedeyes.gif) looked a bit weird; it was kind of unnecessary to have the kiss there. What was the point of it anyway? Or what was the plot of the MV?
I don't know about Sa's concert outfits but I seriously thought those were quite sexy already. I mean, Sa only had few pieces of clothing over her body, any more skin revealed, and that would appear too much for children attending the concert. Gillian on the other hand was a bit too covered up though so I hope that Gillian's outfit will be as sexy as Sa's.

Kenny needs to serve his master first before offering his service to others. 1.gif

Hm, I'm not sure if Mani was away but since Mani is close to Sa and Kenny, they may have conversed over the phone during that time and Mani was perhaps reminded of the shooting music video so she simply demanded the crew to skip the kissing scene, if any were planned. Yeah, all of those cute scenes were erased and probably would never be mentioned again. Kenny tyring to get Gillian drunk. n_tt2.gif Didn't someone express that Kenny is even weaker than Gillian at alcohol shots? lmao.gif Both the TVB and EEG music videos were cheap. Mani just doesn't have any decent plans for Kenny and Gillian to collaborate whether it be music, music videos, or films. I mean, the duet was a good hit; I thought that would at least push Mani to support them but sadly, Mani is a tough cookie. I do hope that Kenny and Gillian gets to perform and practice more often together at the live performances.

Hm, the kiss between Kenny and Koey seemed quite desperate, not cute at all. I don't even think that was necessary for the weird storyline anyway.

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

Hm, I guess, when Nic and the guys came to visit Edison's shop, they noticed that Edison and Gillian were already married, just a small wedding, a simple ring and necklace. Love was enough. sweat.gif I have to go back and re-watch that part to see if they filmed it separately or not but I don't believe so because everything seemed to be shot all at once so the entire cast was present for each of their scenes.

UMM, IF YOU'RE A FAN OF GILLIAN, PLEASE VOTE FOR HER!

http://yule.sohu.com/20060605/n243565909.shtml

THANKS FOR VOTING!
If I'm not mistakened, this poll already ended a while back? blink.gif It was during that one SOHU event Twins attended, the one where Gillian was laughing one minute and then crying the next. But I'm not sure why SOHU still has this poll and page running; the results and everything shouldn't matter anymore, that's why a lot of fans have quit voting, including I. Plus, this poll isn't accurate. One person, one IP address, can vote more than once, actually 3 times an hour so the results really depend on how crazy some fans are, staying online and contributing their every 3 votes per hour, everyday can accumulate to a lot of votes that really mean nothing. I love Gillian but I'm not crazy. I don't like voting in polls that don't monitor the amount of votes from IP addresses, it's much easier to cheat that way. I'm sure everyone here remembers that one poll Fiona won last time, it was so rolleyes.gif. Anyway.

EDnGILL-theBEST!: Thanks for all of the cute EG photos. I miss seeing EG interacting together.

EDnGILL: Thanks for sharing the YT videos.

Anyway, I was enjoying my meal and watching Love On The Rocks with Gigi, Louis, Gillian, and Sa on my laptop, all of a sudden, this white guy pops the question, "Who is that?" pointing at Gillian, the scene where Louis enters the Boba/Juice shop with Gillian sitting behind the counter, grabbing the fruits and stuff to blend. I was like, "Oh, that's Gillian, a popular singer and actress from Hong Kong." He was like, "Wow, how come I don't see her at Hollywood, she's so sweet and pretty; I would definitely gather all of my friends to support her at the theatres." That was a funny incident. I never thought anyone would approach me with that but I'm glad that he liked Gillian.

I really wish Gillian would be promoted in Hong Kong and internationally. Acting abilities can be improved but rare beauty is difficult to find. Gillian already has the most basic step, beauty, and she has tremendously improved on her acting abilities as well, just a few more beefy roles, and Gillian will be one of the top actresses of HK/Asia if only granted the chance. HK needs to show Asia and Hollywood that HK hasn't sunk yet, HK needs to present a fresh new face to the world, Gillian, solo like never before. HK needs to announce that not every Chinese person has chinky eyes with a flat nose bridge but there are some that are as beautiful as fairies, Gillian, with huge bold eyes, a delicate face, and a such a lovely appearance but that's only the beginning, Gillian's convincing portrayals will turn laughter into tears, salt into sugar, and water into blood, Gillian is that profound, that great. blush.gif I can't wait to see more of Gillian onscreen, what surprises Gillian will stun the world with. clapping.gif

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

The new generation of stars versus the older generation of artists is an absurd idea. Sure, tiny comparisons here and there are appropriate but to always compare the old and new generation of actors/singers/stars in general wouldn't make much sense, simply because, the older stars that are constantly used to point out flaws in the newer generation of stars are the best. They have endured and survived through the process of filteration and time against other stars who were weaker or less talented than them. They have achieved a certain degree of status, acceptance, and success, enough to still be visibly present in the minds of the audience. Not every individual who became a singer/actor 20 years ago is still remembered nor called as legendary, the ones we know of today are obviously the stronger ones who have chose to remain in the ET industry. The generation at present still have to prove themselves through the same process of filteration and time. It's like comparing a rock to a diamond, which wouldn't be fair. Diamonds (the older generation) were granted the time to make proper improvements in order to end up beautifully polished for everyone to enjoy whereas the rock (the current generation) are still undergoing changes and adjustments. Realistically, rocks would become diamonds, so there is no need to always compare the old and new generation of stars.

I agree. With each new adaptation, new changes and alterations are bound to happen, viewers need to acknowledge that; if they can't then, they mind as well read the novel for the most original version. Because of how quickly news and everything travels through the internet, fans everywhere will be influenced by others' opinions even before watching the serial so there would already be a bias there. Some fans can never accept the fact that Gillian is no longer the wooden girl next door but rather quite a convincing beauty. Preferences and opinions are acceptable but to claim that Gillian is still below average in acting wouldn't necessarily fall into those categories anymore but rather, just plain bitterness and bias.

No kidding. Some people just don't understand that the ET industry is a place of elimination, and only those who possess the strength are able to survive. The only reason of why things are stereotyped as the older generation all being able to act and such is because those still remaining in the showbiz are those who have proven themselves to being able to survive this game. We obviously haven't heard of any names of those who aren't capable of acting from the older generations, for they haven't lasted down to this present time. The older generation was sure to have been given their time to evolve themselves by training and improving with more skills; hence, the present generation of artistes should be given the same benefit. Even though there is a good amount of people who do appear talentless, but they could improve if they actually have the heart to. Prejudgement is simply unfair; the ET business itself is already an area of favoritism abd biasedness, so do we, as the audience, really have to add to that? People who suffer from biasedness, like Gillian, only have the public to depend on to continue their careers because that provides a reason of why the company shouldn't throw them in the freezer.

Yeah, there are people who are easily influenced by the negative comments of others that they read online that sometimes they don't watch the serials because of what they read. I often find myself disagreeing with the negative comments completely after watching the serial/film myself, so I'd say it's best to be my own judge. People have different tastes and judgements, and there are people who just go stereotyping right off the bat, regardless if the quality is good or not. It's like if a person hates someone in the cast or believes deeply that the actor can't act, he/she will automatically say the actor did a bad job without actually looking at the performance generally. Sometimes that's the case for Gillian. Gillian's been so stereotyped of her supposedly poor acting mainly because of her beautiful face. Why is it so hard to believe that one can be beautiful and talented at the same time? Does it have to be only the average looking people who are talented and pretty faces are eye candy only? blink.gif What kind of theory is that? I mean, even Gillian's own fans believe that. They still believe that Gillian is below average in acting even though she has been recognized by quite a few veteran actors/actresses and directors of her acting already; some even spoke up for Gillian about how she's only thought to be worse because she's always overshadowed when being under the label of Twins. It was such a relief of seeing that because it tells us that others see it as well, and for the information of those who think we're complaining too much, we obviously aren't complaining out of nowhere when there are people in the actual showbiz agreeing.

Yeah, HF isn't the most honorable bachelor. He does cause endless harm and heart break for those beautiful women around him. It is quite shallow of him to refuse CLS, all because she wasn't physically beautiful enough. This YZY doesn't sound too nice nor lovable either so it would totally be difficult to accept HF loving and caring for only YZY. HF falls in love with MRL for her unique beauty and youth as well; gosh, what a superficial hero eh? wacko.gif Anyway, I might enjoy Ady as MRL considering that she's one of my favorite actresses at the moment besides Gillian. Just from the trailer, Wong Jing altered MRL from an ice girl to a bubbly energetic character, which suits Ady a whole lot; Ady's overall performance isn't horrible, she actually brings MRL to life with her cute portrayal but MRL's obstacles are just hard to digest. Hm, having enjoyed the majority of Ady's work, I may enjoy Ady's MRL despite all of the awful things that happen towards the end. Ady is just too convincing, I wouldn't want to miss this portrayal either. I'm not going to pay attention to the overall storyline and alterations but I'll just concentrate on Gillian and Ady's portrayals, their characters, their tears, and their scenes. Hopefully, the serial won't be as bad as we all fear. sweat.gif

Yep, HF isn't very likeable himself either. Being the audience, we'll probably just be sitting infront of the TV screen scratching our heads questioning why all those beautiful and caring women falling in love with him. Being so superficial, why does he still steal the hearts of CLS and MRL? I may want to watch MRL because her character does appear to be interesting from the trailer, and I do want to find out what happens to her thoroughly. It probably will be the least bit enjoyable watching Ady portray the sufferings of MRL because she does go through many ups and downs, and it would surely enhance our hatred towards HF and YZY from where we left off with CLS's death. sweat.gif I think my plan for this serial for the time being is giving the serial one chance with watching it properly, and if it is crappy as we feared, I'll just fast forward any scenes not containing CLS or MRL. I'm almost sure I'll pass on any scenes with YZY or YZY+HF because Nie Yuan seems to have enjoyed his scenes with Gillian and Ady much more than Athena. In fact, he hasn't even mentioned Athena personally ever; it was Gillian at first, and then he mentioned that it was enjoyable working with Ady as well. If things appear as so, then the chemistry between YZY and HF isn't very promising. I'll look forward to HF's chemistry with CLS and MRL, even though it's not planned that way for the storyline. sweat.gif

Yeah, it sounds so possible for Mani to make such demands. rolleyes.gif I wouldn't be surprised if that was really how things were. Even if there wasn't a kissing scene planned, those extra scenes were still deleted. dry.gif Okay, at least Gillian had a whole day of relaxation with Kenny while filming that MV, and they got free food from the house owner! laugh.gif There were probably more scenes than we know of because Kenny said they spent the whole day filming, morning to night; would something of four minutes take so long? rolleyes.gif Anyway, that's the reason why Kenny was trying to get Gillian drunk! He expressed that he's quite weak at alcohol while Gillian was quite strong, so when he felt that alcohol was taking him over, he started to make attempts of pulling Gillian down with him by pushing alcohol at her! The TVB one was cheap, but the EEG one was actually decently budgeted, at least they had the decency to actually make a plot to the MV and go to a nice house to film it. It's surely not as highly budgeted as 'Prophet' with Kenny and Charlene, but it's EEG, so what can we expect? 'Prophet' was really nicely structured; the beginning made it looked like a film with the 'Starring' and 'Co-starring' headings, and I liked how it began with the grave speaking of Charlene's message to Kenny. Hm, it seems like Kenny has a different girl from EEG from each of his albums: Oncoming - Charlene, MusicK - Gillian, and mie wo sagashite - Isabella. Ironically, MusicK was the least budgeted one. blink.gif Well, KG's duet MV was better than KI's; Kenny and Isabella were pretty much sitting and standing around singing the song through the whole MV with scenes of a video game going on here and there. There isn't exactly a plot, but the song's to promote the video game in general. Anyway, the acceptance of this duet at least proves that the pairing of KG isn't hated. The duet wouldn't be so supported if so many people 'hated' KG as a pair. innocent.gif Their duet could've done more if they were pushed a bit more with promotions, but it was never done. The chance is lost. Hopefully, if KG gets a second chance around with a duet, things will be different.

The film is rushed, so many things of EG were implied through the film. To answer your questions, Edison liked Gillian from the beginning of the film, like how he focused on her when she first appeared even as an ugly girl; their relationship started on the bus ride when Gillian finally realized that Nic didn't love her, Edison had been there loving her all along, so she decided to give them a chance, and that's how their relationship started; EG's marriage was implied when Nic noticed the ring on Edison's finger, and then the next scene, Gillian was pregnant. blink.gif

The EG magazine doesn't say much; it just says that EG weren't affected by their rumours and stood together four times to take photos together. Yet even though they stood together several times, they didn't speak to each other very often.

The second magazine page:

T - Tea
S - Charlene G - Gillian

T: Which cartoon are you guys singing the themesong for this time?
S: It's a Japanese anime called, "Pretty Cure", and we're also the spokespeople for it now.
T: Isn't that great?! You guys can pretend to be kids again; I'd say you guys have always been children at heart.
G: Are you trying to tease us?
T: But the things you guys do sometimes are childish and funny.
S: For example?
T: Like that time when you guys were in Taiwan promoting your album! The fire alarm goes off, but you guys don't do anything but grab some take-out on the way! It just gets us thinking.....
S: You don't understand! That was a great take-out box. I've never seen one that was so luxurious; it had pork chops, steak, and......
T: Enough. Would you really sacrifice your life for a take-out box? That's why we're saying that you guys are really funny.
G: The time of our promotions are long, so we don't have much time to eat. We would feel very sad if we lost the take-out box. In addition, the event of grabbing the take-out box during the fire alarm was actually Ah Sa's doing!
T: Next time doing an interview with you guys, I'll be sure to bring some take-out. It'll surely put a smile on your faces. You guys are such little kids!
G: That's why we're suitable for children's songs.
T: I've seen the appearances that you two have portrayed for this anime; it hits the target for being cute, doesn't it?
S: Singing for an anime themesong isn't as easy as you think. The words have to be really clear and happy; I deeply remember one line which is, "Mei~Siu~Nui!" It was really high, so a lot of practice was put into it.
G: Also, the outfits of the scouts, I've always wanted to try it when I watched 'Sailor Moon' when I was young, but I didn't think the wish would come true now!
T: You guys are still children at heart.
S: I suddenly remember the times of watching cartoons in the summer at home when I was young!
T: Which cartoons were your favourites?
S: I liked 'Cheung Tui Suk Suk', 'Tao Hei Siu Suet Yee', and 'Tung Mat Ngoi Wan Wui'! They were really funny!
G: I liked 'Ngoh Hai Siu Gei Lim'!
T: If you guys can turn into a cartoon character, who would you want to be?
S: I want to become Doraemon, especially because he has a door that can go anywhere! It's so convenient and fast!
G: I want that door as well!
S: You can be Nobita, then you can use the door as well.
G: But Doraemon takes all his tools back sometimes, so Nobita can't be using them all the time either.
S: You can be Doraemon's sister; she has all the same tools.
G: But she doesn't have many chances to appear in the cartoon, >.<!
T: Ah Sa, you sound like you're trying to rip Gillian off.....
S: In conclusion, that door is great. It would be so convenient to use that to go somewhere for a vacation. I thought there was really such a thing when I was little!
T: That's ridiculous!
S: Children are like that!
T: Where would you want to go?
S: Um, I'd want to go Europe's Bo Lai Gak; I fell in love with the place after seeing a film that was filmed there!
G: I like historic places more. I had the interest to visiting Greece after seeing a film of Aaron Kwok and Christy Chung's.
S: I want to go to the North Pole as well; I want to see if the igloos are really that cold!
G: I've been to Harbin before; is the temperature the same there?
T: What kind of mood would you be in on vacation?
S: A mood to go travelling!
G: I wouldn't think of too many things that would make me feel bothered; I would use my happiest mood to enjoy myself, then I would call it a good and long break.

Anyway, I was enjoying my meal and watching Love On The Rocks with Gigi, Louis, Gillian, and Sa on my laptop, all of a sudden, this white guy pops the question, "Who is that?" pointing at Gillian, the scene where Louis enters the Boba/Juice shop with Gillian sitting behind the counter, grabbing the fruits and stuff to blend. I was like, "Oh, that's Gillian, a popular singer and actress from Hong Kong." He was like, "Wow, how come I don't see her at Hollywood, she's so sweet and pretty; I would definitely gather all of my friends to support her at the theatres." That was a funny incident. I never thought anyone would approach me with that but I'm glad that he liked Gillian.

I really wish Gillian would be promoted in Hong Kong and internationally. Acting abilities can be improved but rare beauty is difficult to find. Gillian already has the most basic step, beauty, and she has tremendously improved on her acting abilities as well, just a few more beefy roles, and Gillian will be one of the top actresses of HK/Asia if only granted the chance. HK needs to show Asia and Hollywood that HK hasn't sunk yet, HK needs to present a fresh new face to the world, Gillian, solo like never before. HK needs to announce that not every Chinese person has chinky eyes with a flat nose bridge but there are some that are as beautiful as fairies, Gillian, with huge bold eyes, a delicate face, and a such a lovely appearance but that's only the beginning, Gillian's convincing portrayals will turn laughter into tears, salt into sugar, and water into blood, Gillian is that profound, that great. blush.gif I can't wait to see more of Gillian onscreen, what surprises Gillian will stun the world with. clapping.gif

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

Wow, that just shows how much charm Gillian possesses. It's so nice to hear that even foreigners show interest in Gillian; doesn't that prove that Gillian should receive more chances and opportunities? rolleyes.gif The white guy's statement was so supportive! yeah.gif But it must've been pretty surprising for you. Just eating a meal and watching a movie when a stranger approaches to comment on someone in the film. blink.gif It's a great thing to hear though!

HK would be Gillian's first step unless she was somehow granted a major opportunity, and she skipped the HK step altogether to a much broader horizon. rolleyes.gif It nearly sounds impossible with EEG in the way, so I just hope that Gillian will at least get her deserved promotion in HK in the future. It'd be great if HK could send out a convincing beauty like Gillian though. Gillian could surely break some stereotyping of the foreigners regarding the outer appearances of Chinese people; that's another case of stereotyping right there. dry.gif Anyway, Gillian really does have the ability to make it to the top range, but it all sums down to if she's given the chances and opportunities to. She may have been there already if Gillian was allowed to grab on right when she was nominated for 'Best Actress'; if she presented the audience with a few more convincing roles after that time, she surely would've won the majority of the audience over with recognition already. HK would be in much better state if those who had potential were all given rightful chances. rolleyes.gif

Wow that's weird and cool! Even someone non-asian knows Gillian act's good! Lol..hope that one day she could end up in HollyWood and then she'll get tons of fans! But the point is, she don't even have that much films in HK..in Hollywood? wacko.gif But only if EEG let's her expect certain roles! whistle.gif

Thank-you so much for all those pictures of EG, EDnGILL-theBEST!. Even after all these years and so many suitors--I'm still stuck on just EG. So, it was truly wonderful to see all those pictures again. ^__^

mmmm....
you know, i love Gillian... she is beautiful... but something's been nagging me and my conscience...

I mean, the 1st time i saw a pic of gillian back in 2001, i didnt think much of her, and the twins song completely turned me off, that song about: "biology gives me love, chemistry gives me love... la la love love love!"

But then, i "rediscovered" her in 05... i heard the hot yoga song and was like... whoa... whoa... wait. Twins? Let me see... they have progressed! and i started listening to more of their songs, and i loved Gillian's high peaks in "happy together".

And then, i saw a pic of her, and i was melted, the cheese in a grilled cheese. WHAT HAPPENED??? i dunno...

Anyways, back to my point: she's beautiful, and the men that get to work with her are so lucky, and HK is blessed without knowing it. But doesnt it seem a little superficial to always praise her looks? I mean, i melted, but that was it, until i learned more about her, like her personality and goals. That was when i admired her most. adoration.

Mmmm, i guess what im trying to say is that, oh jeezezz... i dont know what my point was anymore...

Maybe, well, what if you were blind, and never saw Gillian's face. What if we were all blind. Would we still be gaga about her like we are now?

I would... but it'd be harder i think.

And, she'll get her big break soon... i have a feeling she'll take the world by storm, like no other. Invade America Gillian will.

Prejudgement is simply unfair; the ET business itself is already an area of favoritism abd biasedness, so do we, as the audience, really have to add to that? People who suffer from biasedness, like Gillian, only have the public to depend on to continue their careers because that provides a reason of why the company shouldn't throw them in the freezer.

Yeah, there are people who are easily influenced by the negative comments of others that they read online that sometimes they don't watch the serials because of what they read. I often find myself disagreeing with the negative comments completely after watching the serial/film myself, so I'd say it's best to be my own judge. People have different tastes and judgements, and there are people who just go stereotyping right off the bat, regardless if the quality is good or not. It's like if a person hates someone in the cast or believes deeply that the actor can't act, he/she will automatically say the actor did a bad job without actually looking at the performance generally. Sometimes that's the case for Gillian. Gillian's been so stereotyped of her supposedly poor acting mainly because of her beautiful face. Why is it so hard to believe that one can be beautiful and talented at the same time? Does it have to be only the average looking people who are talented and pretty faces are eye candy only? blink.gif What kind of theory is that? I mean, even Gillian's own fans believe that. They still believe that Gillian is below average in acting even though she has been recognized by quite a few veteran actors/actresses and directors of her acting already; some even spoke up for Gillian about how she's only thought to be worse because she's always overshadowed when being under the label of Twins. It was such a relief of seeing that because it tells us that others see it as well, and for the information of those who think we're complaining too much, we obviously aren't complaining out of nowhere when there are people in the actual showbiz agreeing.
Well, some fans just don't have good sportsmanship. Some fans will do anything just for their idol to climb up the ET ladder, even if that means blindly hating someone like Gillian, who has no intentions of competing with others; Gillian just wants to enjoy life and her career while providing her family the financial stability she never had. Even fans who are not part of the ET world can become so rowdy, cruel, and heartless towards other artists that block and threaten their favored idol so I'm not going to even imagine how dirty and wicked the ET industry can transform people. wacko.gif

The HK audience absolutely adores sassy and bubbly roles for some reason and unfortunately, Gillian has never been granted the opportunity to show off her wild and cute side without the label of Twins. Gillian just needs to tackle down an extremely spunky and vibrant role in order to show the world especially the local HK viewers, that Gillian Chung has a witty and quick mouth too, she just waited for the perfect time to scream, kick, and bully those who doubted her and criticized her. yeah.gif Pretty actresses usually do portray boring roles, so calm, so cold, and so lifeless, that's why the audience believes that pretty actresses like Gillian can only convey one emotion, the wood expression. Come on, as a silent and such forgiving character, there's not much to do and express anyway. I agree. We're not just complaining because we had a bad day today but it's true. Gillian has a lot of untapped potential in every acting genre but she's so limited due to EEG. And one question that has always surfaced on my mind is: how can anyone be so certain that Gillian is any less talented in acting than the rest if Gillian hasn't even portrayed enough characters and roles to determine that yet. The majority of roles Sa has presented to the audience are bubbly cute roles while Gillian has only portrayed quiet and conservative roles, what makes anyone so sure that if granted the opportunity, Gillian will not outshine Sa in being naturally cute and energetic?

I do hope that since Sa has been given several chances now to portray something different from her usual sassy roles (Leave Me Alone, Hidden Heroes, All About Love, and Diary), Gillian will also receive an opportunity to transform into a drama queen with her spoiled and bratty character as well.

Yeah, it sounds so possible for Mani to make such demands. rolleyes.gif I wouldn't be surprised if that was really how things were. Even if there wasn't a kissing scene planned, those extra scenes were still deleted. dry.gif Okay, at least Gillian had a whole day of relaxation with Kenny while filming that MV, and they got free food from the house owner! laugh.gif There were probably more scenes than we know of because Kenny said they spent the whole day filming, morning to night; would something of four minutes take so long? rolleyes.gif Anyway, that's the reason why Kenny was trying to get Gillian drunk! He expressed that he's quite weak at alcohol while Gillian was quite strong, so when he felt that alcohol was taking him over, he started to make attempts of pulling Gillian down with him by pushing alcohol at her! The TVB one was cheap, but the EEG one was actually decently budgeted, at least they had the decency to actually make a plot to the MV and go to a nice house to film it. It's surely not as highly budgeted as 'Prophet' with Kenny and Charlene, but it's EEG, so what can we expect? 'Prophet' was really nicely structured; the beginning made it looked like a film with the 'Starring' and 'Co-starring' headings, and I liked how it began with the grave speaking of Charlene's message to Kenny. Hm, it seems like Kenny has a different girl from EEG from each of his albums: Oncoming - Charlene, MusicK - Gillian, and mie wo sagashite - Isabella. Ironically, MusicK was the least budgeted one. blink.gif Well, KG's duet MV was better than KI's; Kenny and Isabella were pretty much sitting and standing around singing the song through the whole MV with scenes of a video game going on here and there. There isn't exactly a plot, but the song's to promote the video game in general. Anyway, the acceptance of this duet at least proves that the pairing of KG isn't hated. The duet wouldn't be so supported if so many people 'hated' KG as a pair. innocent.gif Their duet could've done more if they were pushed a bit more with promotions, but it was never done. The chance is lost. Hopefully, if KG gets a second chance around with a duet, things will be different.
I really hope for another duet between Kenny and Gillian. Seems like Kenny and Isabella are attempting something new in terms of their most recent duet. I wish, Kenny and Gillian would explore the different music genres together as well.

I wonder why the music video took an entire day to shoot as well but so little was edited into the final product. Hopefully, both Kenny and Gillian received or requested a copy of those cute deleted scenes because those moments are so priceless. blush.gif Gillian should have intoxicated Kenny and taped all of his silly activities and exposed secrets. sweat.gif I'm glad that at least Kenny and Gillian had time to bond with each other; they're a cute pair, a pair that will make your heart melt.

Kenny and Gillian are widely accepted but not sure why EEG is unwilling to invest in this pair. I mean, the Don-Mandy duo was something refreshing and enjoyed by the audience and Mandy was supposedly a side-kick for such a long time, pairing Kenny and Gillian together in a special album would totally heat things up. n_tt2.gif With such short and cheap promotions if any, Kenny and Gillian still surfaced to the top, that is already so promising.

Yeah, during the filming of Twins-Edison films, Edison and Gillian were already in bad terms with each other so they avoided each other during that period of time, so sad. down.gif Better and more intimate photos would have been taken if only Edison and Gillian mended their relationship then. down.gif

It was an awkward experience. I was actually quite startled when that guy approached me; I didn't think he was paying attention to my laptop. blink.gif That rarely happens. At first, I thought he came over to complain about the distraction my laptop was creating with its volume but thank god, that wasn't the case. But I'm glad that Gillian appeals to a large majority outside of HK.

Hm, with Andy's help, Gillian may skip over the HK step altogether. A lot of Andy's work transfers internationally. Then Gillian can work alongside Takeshi, Zhang Ziyi, Tony Leung, and other mega stars. Andy kept complimenting how pretty Gillian appeared that night, the night of Gillian's nomination as Best Actress, the clip you uploaded at YT. That cracks me up everytime lol. loool.gif Anyway, Gillian still has many opportunities ahead of her, I hope. My biggest hope and fear all falls upon Andy.

Thanks for much for the translation of the article. Gillian was witty with her answers. whistle.gif Oh, I love how Gillian answered her questions. And it did seem like Sa was too used to Gillian being the supporting character, the Doraemon ordeal. Ha, I love the way Gillian cunningly crashed into Sa's rebuttals, Gillian's answers were so hilarious and true, even the reporter sensed that Sa was ripping Gillian off. 1.gif At least, Gillian is being more straight-forward with Sa now, even in interviews, Gillian seems much stronger than before; I guess, it finally struck Gillian, she won't be taken for granted anymore, done with being the one who is always being taken advantage of, no more Miss Considerate. whistle.gif

Wow that's weird and cool! Even someone non-asian knows Gillian act's good! Lol..hope that one day she could end up in HollyWood and then she'll get tons of fans! But the point is, she don't even have that much films in HK..in Hollywood? wacko.gif But only if EEG let's her expect certain roles! whistle.gif
I really support Gillian towards Hollywood because Gillian will break some typical Chinese stereotypes that all Asian people look alike with the chinky eyes and wide faces da da da. Plus, Gillian has a clean image so she probably won't portray such sexual roles, showing Hollywood and the Western Hemisphere that not every pretty or cute Asian girl is a sex symbol. Asian actresses can make it into Hollywood without taking off her shirt but for true acting abilities. I'm sure Gillian will have a chance to shine much more than this in the acting industry, just wait. yeah.gif

mmmm....
you know, i love Gillian... she is beautiful... but something's been nagging me and my conscience...

I mean, the 1st time i saw a pic of gillian back in 2001, i didnt think much of her, and the twins song completely turned me off, that song about: "biology gives me love, chemistry gives me love... la la love love love!"

But then, i "rediscovered" her in 05... i heard the hot yoga song and was like... whoa... whoa... wait. Twins? Let me see... they have progressed! and i started listening to more of their songs, and i loved Gillian's high peaks in "happy together".

And then, i saw a pic of her, and i was melted, the cheese in a grilled cheese. WHAT HAPPENED??? i dunno...

Anyways, back to my point: she's beautiful, and the men that get to work with her are so lucky, and HK is blessed without knowing it. But doesnt it seem a little superficial to always praise her looks? I mean, i melted, but that was it, until i learned more about her, like her personality and goals. That was when i admired her most. adoration.

Mmmm, i guess what im trying to say is that, oh jeezezz... i dont know what my point was anymore...

Maybe, well, what if you were blind, and never saw Gillian's face. What if we were all blind. Would we still be gaga about her like we are now?

I would... but it'd be harder i think.

And, she'll get her big break soon... i have a feeling she'll take the world by storm, like no other. Invade America Gillian will.
Oh my, what a deep analogy. I believe, even if I were blind, just Gillian's sweet voice will still be able to melt my heart, make my lifeless eyes cry rivers, and my will to see stronger. Gillian's lovely and beautiful voice will be colors to my eyes. down.gif I think that beauty can only take one so far, it's really Gillian's inner-beauty that has won my heart and support.

Go Gillian~ yeah.gif

The HK audience absolutely adores sassy and bubbly roles for some reason and unfortunately, Gillian has never been granted the opportunity to show off her wild and cute side without the label of Twins. Gillian just needs to tackle down an extremely spunky and vibrant role in order to show the world especially the local HK viewers, that Gillian Chung has a witty and quick mouth too, she just waited for the perfect time to scream, kick, and bully those who doubted her and criticized her. yeah.gif Pretty actresses usually do portray boring roles, so calm, so cold, and so lifeless, that's why the audience believes that pretty actresses like Gillian can only convey one emotion, the wood expression. Come on, as a silent and such forgiving character, there's not much to do and express anyway. I agree. We're not just complaining because we had a bad day today but it's true. Gillian has a lot of untapped potential in every acting genre but she's so limited due to EEG. And one question that has always surfaced on my mind is: how can anyone be so certain that Gillian is any less talented in acting than the rest if Gillian hasn't even portrayed enough characters and roles to determine that yet. The majority of roles Sa has presented to the audience are bubbly cute roles while Gillian has only portrayed quiet and conservative roles, what makes anyone so sure that if granted the opportunity, Gillian will not outshine Sa in being naturally cute and energetic?

Yeah I really hope that Gillian could have a more bubbly, cute but at the same time emtional, serious. Like when I was watching Moving Targets last night I cried when Gillian was talking to Nic about Edison, and if Edison dies she'll tell her baby what a great father he had. I want more roles of Gillian like that. Taking her angry out and crying it all out!

I really hope for another duet between Kenny and Gillian. Seems like Kenny and Isabella are attempting something new in terms of their most recent duet. I wish, Kenny and Gillian would explore the different music genres together as well.

I wonder why the music video took an entire day to shoot as well but so little was edited into the final product. Hopefully, both Kenny and Gillian received or requested a copy of those cute deleted scenes because those moments are so priceless. blush.gif Gillian should have intoxicated Kenny and taped all of his silly activities and exposed secrets. sweat.gif I'm glad that at least Kenny and Gillian had time to bond with each other; they're a cute pair, a pair that will make your heart melt.

Kenny and Gillian are widely accepted but not sure why EEG is unwilling to invest in this pair. I mean, the Don-Mandy duo was something refreshing and enjoyed by the audience and Mandy was supposedly a side-kick for such a long time, pairing Kenny and Gillian together in a special album would totally heat things up. n_tt2.gif With such short and cheap promotions if any, Kenny and Gillian still surfaced to the top, that is already so promising.

I would love another KG duet and not forgetting a MV with it. I seriously think that if EEG wants to make more $$ since that's what their there for then they should start sufing the net to see what fans have in their mind. If KG have a duet album that would be great! Tons of Gillian fan will buy those.. but eh.. KC fans..just reminded me about the threatening to Gill! n_thumbdown.gif

Hm..Gill should bring her own camcord around with her like Yumiko is planning to do I think in her new album for a extra gifts to fans. (I remember seeing on Scoop) and post it into a DVD and sell it with Kenny's album? The making of Conscience Discovery

I would sure support Gillian in Hollywood to. But I think she should practice more English first (not saying her English isn't good, but it's really cute) but it would be easier for people to understand her if it was more like accuarte?? (spelled wrong I know). But it would be great, and I wouldn't want Gillian in a role of "unclean" I rather her dress normaly like she usually do in HK movies. Waiting? How long do we have to wait more? Another 2 3 years? Urgh! Getting to that topic makes me mad..but its not Gillian fault its her company! duh.gif

*sigh*

asillysaint, i like how you put that: "Gillian's lovely and beautiful voice will be colors to my eyes." Thats an impressive metaphor. I do my share of creative writing, and thats a great phrase that you said... you should copyright it!

But yesses, i absolutely agree with you! Hands down, her voice is extraordinary... i mean, i recorded her interview "My road My persistence" just so i could enjoy listening to her talk. I listen to it like its a song... mp3.

her voice is like, a delicate dessert, one that's not too sweet, but sweet enough to taunt your tongue for another taste. You want more, and can live off of it...

And her inner beauty is the thing. Like you said. Becuase suppose she was unfortunately plagued with a ridiculously snotty and obnoxious and shameless personality... IF that was so, i dont think this mssg board would be 60+ pages like it is now. but she is so simple.

Her beauty is simple... simply amazing. And her goals and dreams appear to be just as simple... from what i've heard, it appears that Gillian doesnt really dream of conquering the ET industry, or becoming numero uno, or making gazillions of dollars...

Gillian just wants to be successful enough for her family to be comfortable, for her family to enjoy her fruits of success. She doesnt want to marry a rich and powerful man, but someone who will take care of her selflessly, and someone who's dreams are bigger than her successes, apparently.

In the end, she wants her home life to be a dream... no matter how accomplished she is in the ET industry. She is SO down to earth... i mean, who was the last celebrity who said they were singing and dancing and acting only for the health of their family? Nothing else. Not to be remembered for the rest of time, or to win dozens of awards and go down in record books... just family's happiness...

So with that said, i take back what i stated before in my last post: Gillian will invade and conquer America/Hollywood only if she wants to and if it'll benefit her family. I doubt she would want to be separated from her home for so long otherwise.

Gillian. What more do i have to say but her name.
