Simplyconfused: Thanks so much for sharing the Nic-Gillian manipulations; they will come in handy when I create my first Nic-Gillian music video.

It's reality, isn't it? In reality, almost everything is based on connections. There would only be a small proportion of people who would really strive for the word 'fair', or at least attempt to. You're right about what you said; with Gillian, all she can do is to earn money for EEG by honestly working for it with her limited job opportunities. I guess we can say that from the beginning, Gillian never had enough chips on her hand to bet on with this game. Being up against someone who has connections that contribute endless playing chips, Gillian barely stands a chance. This game of gambling against connections, sometimes I wonder how Gillian decides to keep playing? I suppose it's for the same reason of how Gillian pulls through from hardships and criticisms, her family. Frankly speaking, Gillian could never actually win. Using your example, even the kid who had the big bank with no gang would be in the losing light, so never mind about Gillian who didn't have the big bank to start with. Gillian's bank honestly came from accumulation, and it certainly won't and never will compare to another bank that was huge to begin with and continues to grow. These words don't only apply to Gillian's situation and the ET industry; it happens to everyone. Obviously most people with connections are able to succeed much easier than those who climb a step at once; it's just how the world goes. Some are born so that they know how to play the game of how life goes right off the bat while some are needed to go with the flow of how things work in life. This society is so dark as we speak more of it.... Well, I guess my feeling is that each person is more or less forced to put their bet on the table during their lifetime of interacting to the realistic society, but it really sums down to whether the person loses his own ethics and principles through the betting point or not.
We see it all the time; through the smiling groups of friends that you see in school or at work, what could be behind those happy faces? 'Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.'; never could I forget this quote. Personally, my friend and her enemy must always keep this quote in mind. They somehow hang out together, but of course more goes on beneath the surface. The same more than likely goes on for Gillian and EEG. Oh gee, these summer courses of life management must be getting too much into my head.
I feel all sentimental and dark myself now.
In the end, I'm just praying that Gillian could hold on and pull through in her company of connections and wealth. I wish her all the best.
Yup, perfect analogy. Gillian may not have the wealth, status, and connections to eliminate obstacles from the beginning and even till now or perhaps in the future, but Gillian has a pure determined heart that has never been corrupted nor tainted, which outshines the rest. Gillian's human heart is what keeps her alive, not money, not fame, nor winning others, but simply because Gillian is still Gillian in the end, amongst all the greed, all the betrayals, and all of the dirty business that revolve around the ET industry. I'm just glad, Gillian has only gambled with what she has gained from the ET industry back and forth, not from her own personal life, her original beliefs, and her identity. It's fine, Gillian has always and will always be loved for her natural charm, her warm smile, and her ordinary humble personality, not because she's Twins nor Gillian Chung, the actress and singer, but just plain Gillian. We see it all the time; through the smiling groups of friends that you see in school or at work, what could be behind those happy faces? 'Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.'; never could I forget this quote. Personally, my friend and her enemy must always keep this quote in mind. They somehow hang out together, but of course more goes on beneath the surface. The same more than likely goes on for Gillian and EEG.

Yeah, that was the cliche.

I couldn't exactly do manipulations for the second picture because it looks wierd with Rainie's hair like that, Gillian's face didn't exactly fit right. And I didn't try the first one. =D But I looked through Alan's gallery here at AF and found another 'kiss-like' picture and decided to manipulate it, and here it is:

Does it look okay?
I used the same picture for the Alan-Gillian manipulation as the one I made for this EG manipulation.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/col...SpecialKiss.jpg
I saved the Gillian picture in case I were to have to use it again, and good thing I did.
I also tried to make a manipulation of Alan and Gillian kissing, but that didn't work out to well.
Boy, these are more than just okay, they're absolutely gorgeous. It's sort of funny looking at Gillian in the first picture because of you know lol. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/col...ALANGILLIAN.jpg

And Edison-Gillian, my golly! Seems like God created so many great candidates for our Gillian.
Thanks so much for sharing and creating. Wow, you guys are totally awesome.

wah...so much pictures!! I can't bother to quote all of them but I love them all
And the manipulations look so nice! I love the NG, EG, and AG manipulations...I love all of the couple
I loved the picture you posted of Show(I like calling him that better
) Rainie. I don't have any pictures with Gillian that's angled how Rainie is on the first picture. In the second picture...I totally took out Rainie
The lighting and skintone was totally different....so I put a texture on it. I wish I didn't have to so it would look more like a real picture

Also, I used it to make a poster. I was trying to make it seemed like it's old...does it seem so?

I did another poster a while ago. I think this picture of Gillian looked really pretty!! Look at Gillian's dimple
Totally sweet!

Did you guys read the news today? Gillian had a bad experience while filming the new movie.
She cried because of having to be hung by wires for long periods of time; it's a first. Now I really hope that Gillian's role in this film is significant and gives her room to shine; it would so unworthy if Gillian burst into tears from the laborious work, yet she only comes out to save the day in the end. Charlene said that Gillian rarely cries because of work, but this time she did.
Yeah, I read it yesterday already but couldn't respond because AF wasn't working properly. Anyway, poor Gillian. For all of those people who criticize Gillian as portraying too many kung-fu roles, how ridiculous is that. QUOTE(lilsleepyhead916 @ Jul 23 2006 10 14 PM) [snapback]2702736[/snapback]
And the thing about hanging on the wires is that Gillian already got hurt a while ago when filming for other movies while on wires, and I don't know how to describe it, but I think that when she goes back onto the wires, it'll start hurting again, so basically Gillian already gets hurt a bit from old wounds from the wires, but now adding onto the 20 straight hours of being on the wire, it should DEFINITELY hurt her old wounds. That's why sometimes I don't want Gillian to participate in action movies, even though she likes to do these movies, but she usually gets hurt. And even though she gets hurt, she still continues to work hard and continue doing such movies.
I think Gillian enjoys giving her all and best to her fans, the film, and the audience in action films plus, action roles are usually the only characters Gillian get to portray diversity rather than the same old quiet and calm roles so Gillian has to grasp at every opportunity but I agree, watching Gillian dangle down at such a high elevation is quite freaky. Wires hurt. They hurt, not kidding. And to be hung from wires for 20 long hours is too much! QUOTE(Jon Lai @ Jul 24 2006 11 26 AM) [snapback]2705078[/snapback]
Not really, it kinda looks cute
It's interesting to see how Gillian would look if she had a different body, no? I wouldn't mind if there were more manips of her having big breasts or become taller, lol

That's funny. Steven is too cute huh? Aw, Steven immediately became dumbfounded as Gillian stared straight at him with those seductive eyes and sang, "Say You Love Me." Too hilarious.
Speaking of creative art, here's another masterpiece, an Edison-Gillian video made by no other than Skippie! I love her artwork. This is a MUST for those who haven't see it yet.
