Even when Gill is little kid, she already is determine. That is another reason why i love her so much , and admire her
I randomly visit this forum ( i forgot what it call, but i find and post it) someone said that Gill is being princess, just little work and she already complain.
It really piss me off when someone doesnt know anything and just claim that Gill being princess and complain. If you get hang up in the air for 20 hours, i see how you would react. Talk about complain, Gill got flu and a kick from Char, but did you hear her complain. NO!! she suck it in and do her best.
Ironically, false rumors spread quicker than the truth doesn't it? That bites.

Yeah, all HK films are on tight schedules, and this one in particular is already over budget by two million because of the delay with Tian Liang. I guess that's why they want to finish it asap. Jason expressed that by the time he was actually offered his role, the script had already been on its 7th alteration.
Anyway, just because the salary is higher for Gillian than usual doesn't mean she's sold her soul to the film; a human needs rightful rest.
Even with a tight schedule, there should still be reasonable resting time provided. I wonder if Gillian gets a general raise in her films after this film? With that mind frame, that's why HK films have been lagging behind in terms of quality and depth. If an appropriate amount of time is invested in each scene, without the dread of rushing, better written scripts, and more thought out complex storylines instead of recycling popular ideas, the success of the film will eventually compensate for the over budget delays but seems like everyone is taking the short cut, avoiding budget issues. I’m not sure if Gillian’s overall salary will increase either because from what Gillian expressed, Gillian received a raise in this particular film due to her intense action packed stunts and scenes, which may not carry over to other films that are of a different genre. I would be happy if Gillian’s salary in general increased though, that would be a direct appreciation for Gillian’s endless days of effort and determination.

Perhaps, but I found these photos at CCT; you know how 'equal' they are with Twins, so I can't imagine no one going to take some photos of Charlene's posters. Then again, it could be possible that no one went to take photos because these photos are a re-post of someone else's post elsewhere, and CCT fans mostly aren't from HK, but rather Mainland and Taiwan. *shrugs* Oh well, at least we got to see how Gillian looks in these posters! It'd be so cool to actually be at the transit station and be surrounded by Gillian posters.
Not only being kicked by Charlene, but Gillian fell off of the horse during the filming of TTE II as well because the horse went wild. Her face was scratched, and they were only able to continue filming by covering the marks up on her face with foundation.
I love all the people who cherish education, and I'm now glad to know that Gillian is one of them.
She really is determined though; walking through the rain from one part of HK to another? Gillian is one tough cookie from the start.
Perhaps that's why Gillian's been stressing lately of how she actually likes to talk a lot; it's because people always claim that she absolutely hates talking and is extremely grateful that someone's doing all the speaking when it's completely false?
See? Gillian has expressed that she doesn't feel much of a barrier towards reporters; the only time period that she did was when she first came into the showbiz. I liked how the interviewer included little details of how Gillian responded and reacted throughout the interview. It sounds like Gillian is one of those expressive people who like to move their arms and make gestures while speaking. True. I'm just glad that at least someone spotted Gillian's portion of advertisements, other else than that, I truly could care less.
Gillian always tends to suffer. At times, I wonder if all of the precautions are even taken.

I mean, when I read that EEG, Gillian's management company, increased the insurance due to the dangerous expectations, I wonder if they even follow all of the safety procedures on Gillian's behalf because Gillian's life is basically in the palm of their hands or do they just follow some but ignore some because they believe that the increased insurance will cover everything if anything drastic was to occur? My impression, one of Gillian's first fighting scenes and there's already problems of negligence, I'm not sure how things will turn out for Gillian as filming progresses.

Hopefully, Gillian's character will have more onscreen scenes to shine besides fighting all the time because so far, Gillian has only been involved in scenes that require fighting.
I also admire individuals who cherish and treasure education. I'm not sure about Canada but in America, it's free education so I know that a lot of us take advantage of that and may not realize how important school really is; how children from other countries wish they had free education, college is even paid for through scholarships and financial aid. Education is knowledge and I'm glad that Gillian has never failed to abandon that portion of her life and career option, even as a famous celebrity, Gillian still wishes to explore her educational choices. I mean, as a celebrity, Gillian has already exceeded the accumulated income a regular interior designer would make in an entire lifetime.

I'm glad fame and fortune as a star hasn't made Gillian too superior above others.
Yeah and seems like this reporter respected Gillian, giving Gillian space to express herself without asking too many intimate questions about her personal life or digging for dirt about someone else. This was a real interview that seldomly happens with HK reporters. I'm so grateful for this article and your wonderful translation, this article just further confirms the beautiful image I have of Gillian. Gillian is a great person inside and out, if anyone chooses to hate Gillian because of their pre-judgment, that's their loss.

I really loved Gillian's responses in this interview; they sounded so much in depth and meaningful. See? If I were doing an interview with someone, I don't mind waiting for one more minute if I were to receive such good quality answers.
Gillian's insights on things are so mature and admirable. I liked how she described modern day women and how she expressed that people don't have to be so superficial of just noticing outer appearances or body figures, but rather one can portray so much more without showing off physical appearances. Gillian should maybe write a book about life; she seems to see so clearly through the different aspects of life, and they sound quite general even though they are her opinions. Not sure if that makes sense.
What I'm trying to say is, the responses and quotes that she gives are quite comfortable to read, and the reader can actually learn something from them. She should receive roles that are more in depth; even though Gillian's so applauded in fighting roles, I think she could do so much more in roles of deep thought because she really does have the charisma for those roles.
Yeah, I was a bit
when I read Charlene's advice that was given to Gillian. Even though the age of pregnant women is rising on average, it's still not too wise to be crossing too much over because it may lead to huge risks. I truthfully hope neither of them try to challenge of being a mom for the first time when they're over forty if they are able to avoid it.
I hope Gillian is able to succeed in her plans after the ET industry as well; she will be missed very much, but blessings of her good life as a normal person again are given.
Hopefully, Gillian will receive a few more chances in the future to achieve her hope of receiving an honour in acting. It's so true what she said; there are so many veterans out there who have worked their whole life by devoting to acting, but haven't gotten the recognition they deserve or get it very late in their career. It'd be great if Andy could bring Gillian to another nomination for her acting, and perhaps the actual award if her performance turns out to be very outstanding. Just from reading this article, we've been exposed to a completely different aspect of Gillian's personality. We usually only hear Gillian speak out about rumors or other events but never have we ever read a real interview that gives us insights about who Gillian Chung really is. Of course, we've read her detailed biography but that was years ago, it's nice to read another article that concentrates solely on Gillian, her thoughts, her opinions, and her milestones along with her future. It's so refreshing to see that our cute Gillian is all grown up now, just like us. I've been following Twins or should I say Gillian for quite a while now, I'm so glad that Gillian has never been too far from what I've perceived her to be and has never disappointed me with her answers even if Gillian doesn't respond as quickly as a lightning bolt lol.

It's like, Gillian's answers comes from the heart so her responses take longer to travel up to the mouth but if answers come from the mind, responses are much quicker but more shallow.
I really hope Gillian doesn't wait too long before settling down. I really feel sorry for some female celebrities who have been dating for 10+ years YET still aren't married but perhaps that's just me.

I personally believe 10 years is a bit too long for a dating relationship, at the most, perhaps 5 years but that is totally Gillian's decision. Gillian is wide open in the ET industry, there will be some cruel jerks out to break Gillian's heart for pleasure, some who will treasure Gillian with their lives yet Gillian can only return them with her friendship, and there will be some who will only be a season in Gillian's life but nonetheless, I hope that Gillian will marry someone who will only have Gillian in his eyes, mind, dreams, and heart, with that established, everything will fall into place.

I'm glad Gillian understands that concept. Not every wonderful singer or great actor will be rewarded with an award but it's just nice to have assurance that all that work isn't wasted but appreciated. I believe the award itself is meaningless to Gillian but the thought that people remembered her for her hard work, dedication, and professionalism is shown through an award. An award is actually what motivates actors/singers to continue giving their all and best to every project. Gillian is not those type of stars who get carried away with awards in a heated competition but rather someone who just wants a sincere pat on the back, not a large check.

I could see that happening; if anyone's ending up with a guy in the end, it's going to be Charlene. I've also heard that Jason has something with Jess as well. Perhaps Gillian's Jason was solely devoted to her until the end of his life while the living Jason has Gillian, Charlene, and Jess running after him for various reasons, and after a bunch of drama, he finally chooses Charlene. Gillian will eventually get it through to herself that her Jason has died already and moves on while Jess will have some other reason to move on as well. I wouldn't exactly mind if Gillian's Jason had died already either, as long as we get to see Gillian in another heartbreaking crying scene.
A crying scene can't be missed for Gillian in a film; I was disappointed when Gillian's crying scene didn't make the cut for '49 Days' along with her kissing scene.
The crying scene was so convincing as well.
Anyway, did you notice that another item off our wish list was fulfilled? The news informed that Steven has an important character in the film, so I'm implying that he has a good amount of screentime? Congratulations to Steven, perhaps it is best for Steven to stick to Gillian for more filming opportunities.

I really want Gillian to cry, scream, and go psycho when she discovers Jason's death, that would be something quite interesting to anticipate for.

Edited: I finally found this clip! I always been looking for it. Where Nicholas pulls Gillian into the water! How cute!!! It was cute how (in the second part) where Nicholas grabbed her from behind and tried to throw her into the water but after of course both fell. Lol)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czbhEqzyPBkI didn' know Twins went on Alan and Xiao S show twice. Here's another one I just now found. I guess they went right after Big Brothers or before because their wearing the same clothes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ojRfgVxQ8sGillian look so hot doing the Aaron move and Alan too!
If you ask me, that pull into the pool was quite serious.

Gillian was strong enough to withstand Ting Fung lol.
Thanks for sharing the links. Gillian looks awesome with that outfit. Show was probably surprised to see Gillian in such an outfit.

"I feel that men don't necessarily have to show off their bodys in order to show their masculine side." I agree with most of what Gillian said but I love this quote the most. Also applies for females like some female celebrities who are lowering themselves by using their body to attract fans

They shouldn't do that. I know from this Gillian wouldn't make rash decisions like some celebrities about her own body figure or revolve most of her time on it
I just notice how Alan and Steven could both make Gillian laugh really hard with their silly acts...haha...Thanks for the clip, Gill#1Fan.
Yup, I totally agree, that's why I love this quote as well. Like Little_Purple_Bell stated above, Gillian's responses are broad enough to apply to anyone's situation yet they're her own personal opinions; that's so wise. That's probably why Gillian doesn't prefer to wear revealing revealing outfits even if she had the perfect figure, self-esteem and confidence is from the heart, not what the body wears or projects out.
Alan/Show is too cute. I'm beginning to really love him too.

Alan is too silly, Gillian cannot help but crack up everytime he speaks.

Here's the clip where Gillian sang solo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57HsQ0i02pIIt was a little hard to hear Gillian. Gillian's voice was a little lower than the music was. I have no idea what this song is but seems like Gillian had some struggles at some parts of the song and she kept on laughing. So cute and funny

Edit: They also sang, "You're the Bravest"! I'm a little confused when Twins came and sang together...is it because they shortened the song? Gillian's exceptionally quiet when she's sining..hmm..cause all three songs she sang, the music somewhat overcrowded her voice or Charlene did when they came together for the second song...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZD9Pa-zjZ0Thanks for the clips. Gillian sounded really nice in the first solo performance. I guess, Gillian hasn't acquainted herself with this song before so she was struggling a bit to sense the right tone and notes; that's why in some portions of the song, Gillian sang a bit high and then sloped down in some areas of the song.
As for the
You're the Bravest performance, Gillian was less in volume than usual because she couldn't remember the lyrics for the song so she didn't want to sing too loud or else her mistakes would be more audible.
Go Gillian~
