Wow, working in HK? The working and living conditions are so different from overseas though, it's going to take a bit getting used to.
Anyway, I agree of how irritating the idea of Gillian reforming Twins is. What gives them the right to degrade Gillian like that when she doesn't deserve it? But I guess we see how it is; it's like that chinese saying, if one wishes to add on penalities to another, then there aren't worries of not finding a reason. I worry that for all that we know, EEG's reasons could be as stupid as that previous article, and we can do nothing about it.
I know; the only thing that Gillian has been keeping up with is her musical career, and that's because it's the Twins area. I can't bear to see Gillian lose out in the music industry, for I fully support her in singing. Gillian's voice is naturally unique and versatile, and with more training, she could really contribute to HK's music industry, which is indeed facing a downhill right now. Even though Gillian has gotten to be promising with her acting as well, there really seems to be not left for her to do in acting because that area has obviously been reserved. The music industry is harder to establish a place in, but I'm sure Gillian will be able to accept and overcome her obstacles with her persistance. Her singing can really be something big, if given the chances. In that performance of 'Conscience Discovery', Kenny and Gillian definitely showed that pretty faces can be sing well and have talent; it really proved many people who decided they were bad singers wrong.
Hopefully, a solo song of Gillian's could be plugged while Charlene's being highly invested in films. EEG needs to plan ahead if the splitting is happening in 2007. Come on, if Gillian manages to snatch a few music awards with her solo song at the end of the year while Charlene gets a nomination, recognition, or perhaps the award in acting, then EEG will have a big and logical reason for the split, and even those bizarre ones could see that fact. I know; why can't EEG see that if they promote Gillian properly in the music industry, it's going to be a win-win situation for everyone? 1) Money making. 2) Another candidate for awards. 3) Gillian won't be as much as threat. 4) EEG will be known to have more talent. 5) We, fans, won't be around here rambling about biasedness; I think we've had enough? There probably are way more, but these are what come to mind right now. Bottom line is if the split is really nearing, EEG should start doing something. They should start paving paths behind the scenes in a subtle way. Well, perhaps for Gillian at least? Charlene's promotion hasn't ever been subtle; it's been very straightforward and obvious.
Yeah, I think Isabella may have better luck next year with her film with Rainie; Zhou Xun has been so recognized for 'Perhaps Love' that I think she'll be the one to get it. I support Isabella as an actress rather than a singer as well; her acting is convincing while her singing is really something that I'd pass on.
It seems that Isabella's singing really has to depend on her songs, like find a song with a catchy and easy tune, and she'll be alright, but I don't think she's really the type of singer who has the magic touch to enlighten something up with skills. I believe her natural voice is a factor as well. I agree of how Isabella does have the eerie touch on her for those genres; now I really want to see more of her in 'Diary', though I think the chance is a bit slim. Isabella seemed pretty present in HK even during the filming of 'Diary'. Or at least it felt that way. 
I'm a bit bored of the States, I guess, I'll try living outside of the States for once and experience life outside the box lol. I know, Hong Kong is quite a tough place to breath in, my cousin was offered a pretty decent business position in one of the highest paid corporations in Hong Kong, after a year, she rushed back home due to being home sick and broke her contract of two years.

My sister is dating a Taiwanese so she may relocate there, as for me, I want to reside by myself or with a few close friends in Hong Kong. I'm not sure yet either. Anyway, back to Gillian, if Gillian receives the proper training and time to practice performing live, I'm sure Gillian's voice will turn out even better than what we've been watching and hearing. I have to applaud Gillian for singing so beautifully with such little practice. I just hope that since Gillian has no films for the remainder of this year, Gillian will shine elsewhere, the music industry with her solo ballad in the upcoming album. Hopefully, the solo ballad will be like
Kite and Wind, emotionally sweet yet addictive and for once, EEG will plug that solo to jumpstart Gillian's solo career.
I completely agree with all of the reasons you listed. Twins' contract is nearing an end sooner or later, EEG better jump on the bandwagon and begin promoting each Twin in each direction. It would be great to see both Twins achieve success in each industry, Gillian with her solo ballad and Sa with her film role, that way, there would be no direct comparisons because music and acting are obviously two separate things.

If only EEG would pay attention to this thread of suggestions. Perhaps Isabella is only making a guest appearance in
Diary afterall, like you've said, it seemed as if Isabella was doing her own thing in Hong Kong even during the filming of
Diary. 
It's so pathetic at times; it's too obvious on which artists EEG loves, promotes, and fully supports. Isabella is relatively a new actress and has already received an opportunity to work in such a high profile film with Zhou Xun alongside being the lead for an EMG production in
Bug Me Not. Gillian has been acting as minor petty roles ever since the beginning, never been a lead in an EMG production (which is actually the sister company of her own mangement company, EEG), never been featured into an All-Star cast, and has now been prohibited to film period.

I wouldn't be complaining so much if I actually saw more promotions on Gillian's behalf in the music industry at least. Gosh, just begin Gillian's solo music career already, argh.

Same here. I feel like I'm clinging onto Andy as well because of his power.
At the moment, he seems like the only person who can help Gillian out. Right outfront, he announced that he hopes for a collaboration; thereafter, he kissed Gillian on-stage, which was a step of breaking her barriers. There probably are many requests for Gillian, but it's true of how Andy's the main one because he's something who EEG can't press down or keep quiet; Andy can say anything he wants because of the status he's accumulated. Not saying that he's right about everything, but he is working towards Gillian's favour right now. Now that, I support.
He could possibly play a very important part in Gillian's to-be solo career. Hm, on second thought, if that Twins album list does happen to be true, then perhaps Gillian's film with Andy could have an original soundtrack album! Gillian could have a few solos being featured in the album as they're played here and there in the film; that way, her solos don't have to be overshadowed by the name of Twins, and technically, she's particpating in an album that's not part of Twins.
That would be such a great start for Gillian's musical career.
Haha, I believe we have much better plans for Gillian than EEG, don't we?
Ah, I do hope that Gillian's film with Andy could start sometime after Charlene's promotion time for 'Diary' is finished, then Gillian could be finished filming by the starting of next year. Afterwards, she could concentrate on her debut solo album. After the promotions of the album, she could a collaboration with the Pang Brothers as the film with Andy comes to releasing! Ha, my ideal plans.
It really doesn't hurt to hope!
Thanks for the photos! Joey and Gillian are so close! I like that photo where Gillian was fixing Joey's hair; she looks so cute yet concentrated! 
Hopefully, Andy's intentions of inviting Gillian are sincere and worth while. I really really pray that Andy's film ideas will only compliment Gillian's acting abilities and perhaps challenge both Gillian's potential and EEG's dumb restrictions.

That's a great idea. I really hope that Gillian will participate in both the filming process and the music recordings for this film with Andy. Oh, perhaps a duet between Andy-Gillian?

Gillian's versatile voice may surprise Andy.

I'm still waiting on a Pang Brothers production casting Gillian as the lead; their films are different from the usual Hong Kong style, for sure, even if the film was to be a failure, Gillian would enjoy her new experience working with them and will also have expanded her knowledge in acting with a completely bizarre role.
Yup, Gillian and Joey should really collaborate sometime in the near future. Hm, I was thinking, if EEG is still uncertain on how successful Gillian will be as a solo female artist, perhaps they should have Joey pitch in a hand by creating a duet between Joey-Gillian and promoting it. Let's see how well Joey-Gillian's voices blend in together; how well Gillian can handle real vibratos and emotional ballads? Oooo, I so want that to happen soon, like next month lol.

Joey and Gillian seems to be really good friends. I saw picture of them kissing lip to lip before. Why does it seem now that Gillian is closer to Joey than Charlene. I mean, Gillian and Charlene are not talking to eachother, they rather talk to Joey. Are they in a fight or something?
Hm, I don't think Gillian and Sa are on bad terms; they're just perhaps too together, it gets boring after a while. Each have different preferences and stuff. Gillian and Joey have always shared good chemistry, actually.

The director said that he really anticipates to give films of something different for her to do. He also hopes for some romance/emotional scenes because he thinks she handles them very well, and her facial expressions are very emotional. He also mentioned that both Charlene and Gillian are quite smart, but in different ways; Charlene is more of a witty kind of smart with more straightforward and simple thinking while Gillian is more of an intellectual kind of smart, as in taking more time to run things through her mind.
Yep, they kissed after Joey's 'Show Up!' concert. You know how singers have a mini celebration after holding the concert? Gillian was there since she was a guest perfomer along with Charlene, Kenny, and Steven; she suggested for her and Joey to kiss for the celebration. It's included in the behind the scenes of Joey's 'Show Up!' concert.
Thanks for translating. Even the director agreed and complimented that Gillian suits those romance/emotional scenes. Yup, Gillian is more of a deep thinker but nonetheless, both are still smart.
Hm, I gotta check that out, the kiss between Joey-Gillian. There's not too many individuals Gillian kisses, this is a must see.

Really? Wow thanks for the info. Anyone got the pic or clip? Anyways I upload this thing..its new and Gillian looks really hot in her swimsuit...also her hair is soo pretty! (tiny braids) Credits to S.T.F @ twinsfans.net. I think its a new MV?
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?acti...C543462581D0DA4Thanks for the clip. Gillian looks fantastically hot in those swimming suits. Gillian absolutely has no flabs anywhere for those who won't stop criticizing her of being chubby for the average Hong Kong girl.

I guess this is the other version of their new Canto song? Since this music video or documentary does take place at the beach?

Gillian is so happy and bubbly, full of joy and laughter; it's nice to see Gillian so relaxed and comfortable wearing such bare outfits for once.

After he explains the different types of intelligence Twins have, like
little_purple_bell has translated, where Char is more straightforward and Gillian is more interlectual, the director says he wanted to keep there personalities (as in their types and the way they present their intelligence and wit) in the movie too. At the end he also says if he needed to tell them something, he only needed to mention it and they 'get do' - got it - very quickly

.
Haha, so much for Donnie's nice explanation of how Gillian was the slow one.

I never really thought Donnie was that nice anyway especially when before discussing about Twins martial arts abilities, he integrated Twins' abilities with their beauty (Sa the cuter one, Gillian the prettier Twin), he just falls right into the typical stereotype of how pretty girls aren't as quick and as talented.

And call me as a grudge holder but Donnie's pre-judgment does determine his perception in a lot of things so I wasn't that surprised when I heard Donnie say that about Gillian. I guess, what I'm trying to say is, there was a nicer way to put things but from how Donnie said it, it wasn't that constructive coming from a neutral elder too.

Yeah she does, I'm wondering if the tiny braids is her hairdo for the new canto album? I mean it doesn't look that bad as those curliness, and big braids..I see their image is changing! LOL
I found these at twinsfans.net. Is this how the album is going to look like? How the sound track isn't offical, because they just put old songs into this album. If it is, I might not get this

Nice creation though.
Aw, that probably means, Gillian's hair will still be curly and tied up. I really want to see Gillian with her hair down and straight already!
Thanks for the HMV new photos of Gillian. I love Gillian's cute outfit, so sexy and trendy.

Gillian in heels? Finally, so cute. It's a relief, Vincy isn't that tall herself, now Gillian has a partner as short as her lol.

Even though Gillian's hair is cute like this, I still wish to see her straight hair down.
Go Gillian~
