and the English translation:

Unintentionally Harming You:
Want to be together for life, don't think of it that good
Among it there would be unavoidable departure
Want merrily, but clearly understand this prinicple
How can glory be unlimited?

*When time passes, who will become a machine?
Which person will have no luck completely?
This time holding onto your arm, why would I have doubts?
In difficult times, I'll will accompany you
Or perhaps it is only an act?
Coming to an end, we'll leave our own ways respectively?

In changing times, will follow the win
In times of choice, have to be snobbish*

Who wants to talk more integrity, the very first must have reserve for future use
When hugging know oneself and other people
When opposite sides, will strive for triumphant
Simply life's prinicples

Repeat*

At worst times, must be despicable
At splitting times, be jealous at each other
Simply life's principles
Originally had no intentions of harming you.

Here's some info about her character in "Moonlight Resonance":

Susanna Kwan - Chung Siu Sa


Characteristics: Her personality is straight-forward, liking to gossip; she is the classic “evil character”. Her heart is wicked. She especially likes to expose people’s scars. She hates the filthy rich and dislikes the impoverished. Her manner is calculating. She forgets righteousness at the sight of benefits. For the sake of her own benefits, she can betray the most intimate relative beside her. She was born selfish and all of her troubles are caused by her own selfishness. Thick-skinned and shameless, she’s accustomed to displacing her wrongs on others.

Nancy Sit is not on bad terms with Louise Lee
Tuesday September 2, 2008 Hong Kong
Source: Mingpao
Translated by: kingkongit27 @ asianuiverse.net



There were reports that claimed Nancy Sit and Louise Lee didn't get along while working together in "A Kindred Spirit" many years ago. Currently, Nancy will depend on the series "The Silver Chamber of Sorrows" and Louise will depend on "Moonlight Resonance" in competing for the TV Queen award this year. Yesterday, Nancy interviewed Susanna Kwan on her radio programme. Nancy stated that she had interviewed Louise last Friday and they have never not got along with each other. She also claimed that they both had similar ups and downs. Both of them experienced unfortunate events but achieved a lot of confidence afterwards. Nancy personally stated that she would only film one series every year and never thought about competing in winning any awards. However, she says in advance that she doesn't have the opportunity to win any awards this year either.

As for who she feels will win the award? Nancy said "Michelle Yim, Louise Lee, Susanna Kwan. Also Christine Ng’s performance in (The Silver Chamber of Sorrows) is very good." Susanna stressed that she will not be supporting anyone is particular, as long as the series they appear in is good. "Last year I received the (Favorite Female Character Award) which proved an evil role is achievable. I will not ask for anything, if it is yours it will be yours." Susanna personally feels Nancy Sit, Louise Lee, Michelle Yim and Ha Yu have a good chance in winning this year.

Susanna Kwan accepted a radio interview for the programme "Va Va Voom".

She was asked if Willy Chow her close wealthy lesbian friend met her requirements? Susanna replied "Yes" (You have feeling's?) "Yes" (Does you family find it hard to deal with?)

Susanna Kwan was also shocked by the male fan. She believes that because he had seen so many faces and crowds he became extremely excited. But she felt he didn't have the intention to harm anyone. As for her revealing she had feelings for her lesbian friend Willy earlier. The reporter said she was very brave in discussing about it. She replied by saying she was not brave and it was just a part of life. Not anything special. She personally doesn't like to lie about things. But she felt she said too much so she will not mention it now. (Asked whether her friend complained?) She laughed "Lets not say anymore".

Searching for TV King and TV Queen in Moonlight Resonance
Sunday September 21, 2008 Hong Kong
Translation: Akazukin @ asianfanatics.net/forum
Source: Sing Tao

Moonlight Resonance is everywhere.
“Identity”, “Jade Solid Gold”, “Scoop” are all full of the Gam family. The promotion is followed by promotions. Even the Big Brother in the entertainment industry Eason Chan has become a backing vocal to Michelle Yim in singing the Karaoke song “Thinking of each other in the windy rain”. Have this been seen before?

Aired on 7 days during a week is also a rare arrangement.

The drama series which was very popular in the previous period is “Jewel in the Palace”. The ending achievement had been surprising. The last episode’s peak rating has broken the record and was over 50 points. This time, the same arrangement is probably to repeat history! However, Moonlight Resonance has achieved a small peak in every 2 episodes. Within 30 episodes, how they were quarreling, how they were hurting people, how the family was ruined, how the family was reunited, how each of the character cried, have been a routine in the audiences’ eyes. Therefore, it will be difficult for the last episode to have any new creativity. As predicted, the fact that Hung Yee became more evil, Goon Ga Jai became more persistent in love are as predicted, Ah Kar and Ah Ho fortunately won her, the energetic grandmother Lee Heung Kam passed away could still attract audiences. However, to break the 50 points peak would be really difficult. If it achieved above 45 points, “Moonlight Resonance” is already considered to have a successful ending.

The third sequel must be coming. It has ratings, has topic, has support, why would TVB cut short its own profiting chance? If it’s quick, it will be seen in next year’s anniversary. The same casts acting in ancient costumes, they will remain to be a big family, there will similarly be quarrels, audiences will definitely buy it.

However, to continue the power of Moonlight Resonance, it will definitely take majority of the awards in the anniversary. Media has already started to speculate who is going to be this year TV King and TV Queen?

Hidden Text:



Susanna Kwan (The chance of becoming TV Queen: ***)
She is my personal choice. Her acting is needless to say, her limelight concealed Hor Ma, scolding people like singing, and fighting alone. However, she is not very competitive, whether or not the award is given to her will not make any hot topic. Therefore, her chance is less.

Three Female Leads of "Moonlight Resonance": Hot Contestants For TV Queen

This year, there are 10 nominees for the "Best Actress Award". Louise Lee, Susanna Kwan, and Michelle Yim from "Moonlight Resonance " have obtained three spots in the nominations. These three roles have already been considered TV Queen material.

Liza Wang and Charmaine Sheh are also strong competitors through their roles in "War of In-Laws II" and "Forensic Heroes" II respectively. Other nominees include Nancy Sit in "The Silver Chamber of Sorrows", Sheren Teng in "Your Class or Mine", Linda Chung in "A Journey Called Life", Sonija Kwok in "D.I.E.", Kate Tsui in "Speech of Silence".

Ha Yu Is The Choice for TV King

Louise Lee was asked who she thought was her strongest competitor. In order to avoid gossip, she said : I don't know how to tell.. But as for the best actor, she said that Ha Yu is her choice.

Louise said: Ha Yu acted his role out really well. As for Moses Chan, he put in a lot of effort for his role in "Moonlight Resonance". When I first looked at the script, his role didn't seem very unique. He also asked me for advice on how he should act out his role. In the end, he was able to act out his character very well, and brought life to it. Raymond Lam's role is also good, as well as the other male leads, so competition is very tight!

Raymond Lam Competes For TV King; Isn't Afraid of Ha Yu

When Raymond Lam attended a function yesterday, he expressed that on the night of TVB's anniversary, many of the outfits are sponsored, and he'd already chosen a few sets to wear that night. Ha Yu is Raymond's strongest competitor for TV King this year. Yesterday, when Ha Yu was at a costume fitting, he expressed that he is very confident in himself, and jokingly said that he would vote for Stephen Chan. It is also rumored that Ha Yu may have agreed to sign a contract with TVB. With regards to this, Raymond Lam expressed that it's good to have confidence, and he also has confidence himself. He was then asked that if Ha Yu did sign a contract, would he be worried? He expressed that he wouldn't, because signing a contract has nothing to do with the awards ceremony. As for TV Queen, he said that he supports Susanna Kwan and Michelle Yim. When asked if it is because Louise Lee isn't sincere so he doesn't want her to win, Raymond denied. He said: In Moonlight Resonance, I've had many scenes with Susanna Kwan, and she has good memory. As for Michelle, she usually play the role of a good person. This time she plays the villain, so that's a breakthrough performance. Louise Li has always been a great actress, so winning an award is more of an expectation.

Sammul Chan Won't Be Attending The Anniversary

Sammul was originally suppose to return to mainland on the 19th for work. As of now, that plan has been canceled, but before that, he'd already asked for a day off. He believes that the company wouldn't be able to arrange any preformances for him at such short notice, so he won't be attending the anniversary. Earlier, he was stalked by a fan. He warned them that if they continue to follow him, he would report to the police. In the end, they stopped stalking him, so he didn't call the police.

Susanna Kwan cramps during dance practice

Susanna Kwan and Lee See Kei came in together hand in hand, walking down the red carpet. The two performed a dance. Earlier when they were practicing, they practiced so much that their legs started cramping. After walking the red carpet, they immediately took a seat to rest. Each year the artistes will end up being dragged by guests to take pictures. Lee See Kei said that she does not mind because it is part of what she has to do in her contract. It is her responsiblitity. But her popularity was not as strong as Moses and Raymond's. Reporters laughed and said that Moses is well welcomed by females, he smiled: "Don't say that, we are all very happy! (Everyone loves you wor!) If they want, I don't mind. They want me to take pictures, I take them, everyone happy. Why not?"

TVB GALA 2008

Credit: lovebosco.net, linnette_zj @ Myolie Wu Forum

The most item in TVB Gala night is the comedy skit. This year, Moonlight Resonance stars and addition of Eric, Myolie, Charmaine and Christine Ng took part in the skit. But unfortunately, it wasn't that good. Although Moses imitated Hung Yi very well, the comedy strength was weak. They only played around with the cakes, hitting Ha Yu and Susanna Kwan on the face and body. Bosco's bottom half of his body was hit by cake too (haha..the cake on Bosco was smashed by Myolie).

The Fashion at TVB Anniversary Gala

Each year during the big day of TVB Anniversary, the female artistes dress up for a battle of fashion. They would also take the advantage to show off their jewelries, although the majority of the jewelries were sponsored, but as long as the moment is still glorious, the popularity is still there.

Last night among the female artistes, Lee See Kei had the most on, she had on a ruby that was worth $40,000,000, that went along with her simple evening dress. She appeared to be very noble. Besides her, there was Liza Wang who also had accessories that was worth more than $20,000,000 including jewelries and a watch. The most special was her diamond ring, which was worth $8,500,000. As for hostess Carol Cheng her whole body was worth $18,000,000, she said: "this night Liza and I match well, we are like two big red envelopes. (Do you guys combine what you say on stage?) Yeah, actually the award show we match our words, but tonight better not say anything wrong."

Sonjia Kwok not sexy anymore

As for recently photographed with Raymond Lam look-a-like in Tung Choi Street having dinner, Sonjia Kwok's values reached $20,000,000 worth of sponsored jewelries. That night she was part of the opening performance of palace dancing. But her costume was not as sexy as her evening dress, because last time she was really sexy. Asked why she has to hide? She said: "I can't let everyone see it often, its once and a while I will show it." Speaking of her recent rumors, she clarfies that they are just friends and are not dating. She also tells everyone to stop holding on to him, he's not in the entertainment circle.

Also, Charmaine Sheh's sponsor company gave her accessories worth $11,400,000, as for Myolie Wu's sponsors jewelries were $11,300,000, Susanna Kwan's diamonds were about $5 or $6 million, but was still very eye catching. As for Fala Chen and Sharon Chan had accessories valued at $3,300,000 and $4 million worth of diamonds. Wearing $1,500,000 diamonds, Yoyo Mung was said that her accessories was nothing special.

Liza Wang's On Water Hip Hop Dance had the best response

Although this year Liza Wang lost out in the TVB Anniversary Awards, but last night she saved her pride (face). Last night the 41st TVB Anniversary Gala was held, Liza performed a hip hop dance on water with many other "kids" (TVB young artistes). Liza's performance seem to have been better than Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng's touching performance, which viewers thought was not like as anticipated.

To celebrate TVB's 41st birthday, 132 TVB artistes came in ancient-western costumes and did many stage performances. Although Liza did not get any awards this year, but she made a comeback in her hiphop on water performance. Liza was the first to come out and danced solo, followed by an "in water hip hop dance" with other TVB artistes who had little clothing on, such as Kate Tsui and Grace Wong. But the group of young Fadan and Siu Sang were all brave enough to do "male on top, female on bottom" moves and the female would "roll" on the male's pants. Definitely challenging the scale of TV!

Wong Cho Lam's performance, can't stop laughing

61 year old Ah Jie (Liza) copied Aaron Kwok's concert in wetting herself and did hip hop dancing on water, but seem to went off beat, fortunately she made up for it and in the last part of the routine Michael Tse lifted her up up side down, it was tremendous! The pressured young fadans won applause from the whole audience! The Host Nat Chan praised the performance and when asked if it was difficult? Liza said: "Nope, its very fun! Haven't done fast dancing for a long time, able to dance with so many dance kings and queens. I feel young too!"

On the other hand, the most anticipated "Sheh-Wing" performance did not have much, just had the rumored couple dance together. Although the rumored couple continued to let TVB bring them up along with Ng Kwan Lai, Sek Sau, etc. but they were not as great as Liza's performance. Kevin also had a stiff expression throughout the performance, while Charmaine had a sweet smile. During the interview in the make up room, Charmaine said: "I was really nervous!" Amigo Chui asked Charmaine: "Are you nervous because Kevin's beside you?" Besides Amigo, Kevin heard the question and immediately patted him on the shoulder. Also, when the two rumored couples Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong, Linda Chung and Raymond Lam performed the MEGASHOW, there was not any big surprises.

Last year's trio Wong Cho Lam, Johnson Lee and Louis Yuen continued to minic others, this year they did "The Four Golden Flowers", afterwards they pretended to be "Ho Ma, Sa Yee, Hung Yee" and did a Rap song. The lyrics were all about the rumored couples, including "Ah Sheh ran fast, Kevin has something strange going on", "Sonjia Kwok's deep V made me mad" . All those made everyone laugh really hard.

The comedy skit was based on popular series "Moonlight Resonance", which ended up being a big waste of food. During the skit, everyone was playing hard. Lee See Kei, Susanna Kwan, Ha Yu, Eric Tsang, Moses Chan, Bosco Wong, Charmaine Sheh, Christine Ng and Myolie Wu were all apart of it. The skit had someone from behind each person to feed them cakes. Christine Ng was behind Moses Chan reaching her hand into his chest area. Ha Yu then attacked Bosco Wong's bottom half with cake. Originally showing the talent of tossing cakes, Eric Tsang ended up throwing the cake around randomly. But some netizens say that the skit was a copy of 1988's Anniversary comedy skit. Susanna Kwan and Ha Yu were the most miserable ones, they were being played so hard that they got cake all over their face and on their beautiful clothings. Afterwards, Susanna Kwan expressed that she didn't get mad, most importantly it didn't ruin her jewelry. As for Eric Tsang was asked about Susanna's black face, he supported her: "She's really happy, backstage she was still asking who caked her!" As for the $60,000HKD gifts and awards was taken away by Grace Wong, Shirley Yeung and Charmaine Sheh got second and third awards respectively.

Also, 101 year old 6th Uncle, yesterday he was accompanied by Mrs. Fong and the two Miss HK Ma Choi and Cheung Sue Na.

On the other hand, the 4 Stations has a requirement on the number of years in the industry (this is why Susanna Kwan is eligible for JSG's)

This is Leo Ku's first time winning Most Popular Male, Miriam's second time winning Most Popular Female (her last was 6 years ago)

Miriam breaks Joey's string of 5 straight wins at Most Popular Female Singer. This leaves Anita Mui's record intact.

Susanna Kwan & Kate Tsui's Villain Addiction

Susanna Kwan and Kate Tsui are both artistes from different generations, but earlier they bumped into each other in a series playing as mother and daughter, both playing villain roles. Their acting has been praised by audiences, the two say that they don't mind being villains again, and indicated that audiences are very smart, as they know how to distinguish. Towards audience fate, they said that it must match with the weather, favorable setting, no fighting and cannot force it.

Current Generation Series fans are smart

Earlier Susanna and Kate played the roles "Sa Yi" and "Ka Mei" respectively and has been engraved in peoples hearts. They both admitted that acting out the characters were difficult and that the characters were very hated by everyone, but don't mind to play the role again. Susanna said: "Earlier everyone said that I really got into character and asked me how I remembered my lines, can be so evil! Ha Ha, actually I'm very fortunate to be playing this role at this time because audience knows how to distinguish between reality and acting, even the elderly knows that I'm only acting. It's not the same as before when your a Crown Prince, you'll be a Crown Prince for the rest of your life. But during filming, there was some stress because I never done this before, when I was watching the playbacks I felt that I didn't do enough, so I did the scene again in front of the mirror. If I need to play this role again, I don't mind as long as its a different style, otherwise there won't be any challenges, no breakthrough."

As for Kate she said: "Acting development is hard because I need to force myself to believe that I'm Ka Mei, I need to be a bad girl to the max. If I had to act this again, I don't mind, earlier in 'The Four' I was also a villain. The producer felt that me being a villain is a good thing. Before, the roles I played 90% of the time I was a big good person, each role has a different element. I do want to accept more challenges."

Character was acted out to be so hated by everyone

Many artistes will be laughing and chatting before filming beings, but some would sit in one side and try to get into character. Susanna highly praises Kate's seriousness in her work, she had done all her homework before shooting. Susanna said: "She is a serious actress, once she enters the studio she won't be talking much, she would sit to one side and try to get into character, she really puts in a lot of effort to do a scene. Scenes opposite of each other, she has done very well. Before filming, we didn't really talk about the scene, we only practiced twice before the real thing, that's what's called real. If waited out, then the hatred won't be enough, it won't hit the meat!" But Kate said modestly: "It's because my experience is not a lot, so I have to sit aside to practice more. I don't know if it's like this, but people may think I'm not proficient in my performance yet. Also often I don't discuss with others, once we discuss about personals, my mentality has a higher responsibility."

Audience Fate, Some People are Born with it

Speaking of audience fate, Susanna expressed hers is lucky, her audience fate has always been just average: "Many people will have audience fate once they come out, like they are born to have the fate. For me, it has always been only ok, maybe before I didn't have many negative gossips or rumors. I feel that the current artiste's transparency is too high, it would be better if we distance from the audience a bit."

Kate said: "For audience fate, I don't think I can control it. Audiences all have different tastes, but I'm viewing it positively. Online, there are some positive feedback about me, but there are also many criticisms, I do feel this is a good thing, at least this could help me work hard to improve."

Stepping into Music Industry without fear

Soon, Kate and her Music Record company will be holding an autograph session, indicating that she has officially entered the Music Industry. Asked if she would ask Susanna to give her some pointers? Susanna smiled: "She's a smart girl, her opportunities in participating in concerts and stage work could soon surpass me. She is so smart and hard working, she definitely will be able to handle the work, but she must work hard at it, constantly improving. If not, this industry (music) you can easily fall behind. Other things she does not need to worry about." Kate is thankful for Susanna's praises and said that entering the music industry, she doesn't have much pressures. She explains: "Towards singing, its like a piece of white paper, I am in the Baby stage, I don't know what I will be able to do. I will constantly explore the possibilities, I will try my best and to go try!"

Translation: matchbox @ http://illusive-serenity.forumotion.net/



Susanna Kwan in TVB series “Beyond the Realm of Conscience" is often violently tortured. She even filmed the Chinese finger trap and being beaten on the buttocks scenes herself.

It’s Susanna’s first time filming an ancient costume drama. She plays the role of Yuen Chui Wan. She stated that this series was the most difficult series she has ever shot. She felt that the scenes of being violently tortured were extremely memorable. She said "At first I was worried that I wouldn’t look like someone from the ancient times. I even complained that the script was too difficult. Normally I say my lines very fast, but this time the script was very hard. I had trouble remembering the lines. It was a big challenge”. (What was a memorable scene?) "The most memorable was when I was tortured by the Chinese finger trap and being beaten on the buttocks. The finger trap was real. Also it was very hot on the day when we shot the beating scene and there were lots of mosquitoes. Therefore it was very tiring".

Susanna collaborates in many scenes with Charmaine Sheh, Michelle Yim and Tavia Yeung. It is also the 3rd time she has worked with Michelle and Tavia. They have formed a very good bond. She said "I already slapped Tavia in [Moonlight Resonance] this time I had to hit Tavia’s mouth. At first we used different angles to shoot the scene but because it didn’t look great, we had to retake them. In the end Tavia told me to do hit her for real. I really hit her and she had bruising. She hopes that the TV ratings will be better than [Jewel In The Palace].
