Here's the Chinese lyrics for her song in "Moonlight Resonance":
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.

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.

Louise Lee was asked about the recent reports about her and Nancy Sit fighting over winning the TV Queen Award. She replied "I don't want to respond to any made up news, I don't want to fall into their traps and help them promote it. The company nominates the artistes for the awards and the audience will choose who they like the most. It's not up to us. You cannot win awards by fighting over them. (Have you got confidence this year to win?) I haven't thought about that. Last year I felt very satisfied but this year if I don't win any awards it doesn't matter, as long as I get the chance to attend the ceremony." Louise also praised Moses Chan, Tavia Yeung, Fala Chen and Ha Yu for their outstanding performances.

Louise Lee & cast are shocked by fan who attacks security guards Sunday September 7, 2008 Hong Kong Source: Takungpao Translated by: kingkongit27 @ asianuniverse
Hidden Text:
The cast of "Moonlight Resonance" Louise Lee, Susanna Kwan, Ha Yu, Lee Heung Kam, Chow Chung, Bosco Wong and Kate Tsui etc attended the event "Golden songs welcome Mid Autumn". As well as celebrating the good ratings for the show which reached 37 points, they also celebrated Louise Lee and Chow Chung's (who plays Louise and Susanna's father) birthday and presented them with a big Birthday cake. Ha Yu kissed Louise Lee wishing her Happy Birthday and Susanna kissed Chow Chung who is about to become 76 years old. They both had the same wishes which was to have good health.
When the event was about to end, the cast went off stage and presented the audience with Moon cakes. A mid aged man who took photos with the cast did not want to leave and attacked the security guards. In the end he was carried away. The man was crying and yelling saying he wanted to kill the security guards and complain about the security. The police arrived to calm the man down. Louise Lee said she felt very unhappy that such an incident occured. During the time she was very shocked. She felt that the man attacking the security guards was wrong but then again she was very worried about his safety. The Chinese lunar calender August 13th is her birthday. Since a very young aged she has always advised to delay celebrating her birthday on that date and would rather celebrate the occassion 2 days after. As long as she celebrates Mid Autumn with her family then she will be happy. She hopes she has good health and will become stronger, while accepting more work opportunties. It will be even better if she can stay awake for over 30 hours and have no rest.
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:
Raymond Lam (The chance of becoming TV King: *****) It has been definite since the beginning of this year? Goon Ga Jai’s importance is greater than the other male characters. Moreover, “The Four” will be coming out. Raymond Lam’s popularity will continue. His chance of becoming TV King is already almost absolute.
However in Moonlight Resonance, his performance has only received satisfactory review. If we talk about surprise, it can’t be compared to Alfred in the first series. As the character is too perfect, the potential to show off becomes restricted. His triangle relationship with Linda Chung and Bosco Wong is also too long-winded, each episode their progress will go in circle, the persistency and loyalty in love is really making people feel tired and not feeling touched. However, when we talk about status, it is time for him to become TV King. At least he will be more deserving than the previous year’s Kevin Cheng, right?
Ha Yu (The chance of becoming TV King: ****) If he won it, it will be a kind of recompensation. Last year he didn’t get anything is too much. Old man would feel disappointed. Fortunately, it doesn’t affect his acting. Joe Bao’s character is more difficult to grasp than Bao Bao. Ha Yu had secured it steadily. He has given his full performance regardless whether it is laughing scene or crying scene. If we talk about capability, he has power to win! If his performance within two years are added up, he is even more deserving of the award.
Moses Chan (The chance of becoming TV King: ***)
Double-winning TV King to win continuous jackpot?
He maybe seen to be unpopular choice. However, TVB awards like to give earth-breaking surprises. Therefore, Moses’ chance can’t be overlooked, especially since Ah Kar has more “noise” than Dak Dak Dei, acting as a person of a rather different type yet still has to be fitting in with the whole family. The audiences like his special comedic feel. This breakthrough is deserving of award. Only that, will continuous TV King be an over-reward? If Moonlight Resonance is not wanted to be the only big winner, another unpopular choice is Roger Kwok from “D.I.E”. Don’t forget that he was able to clear Sonija Kwok’s record. Among TVB actors, who can do that?
Lee Sze Kei (The chance of becoming TV Queen: ****) The audiences will definitely accept if the award is given to her. However, the opportunity to promote a person will be lost. Besides, there is a lack of surprise. It’s a rare chance that Lee Sze Kei opened her golden mouth and expressed that she doesn’t want to fight with the young generation. Does she hint that she has undergroundly quit the competition?
Tavia Yeung (The chance of becoming TV Queen: ****) Really remarkable! Although her screentime is obviously not much, she still manages to stand out and becomes the netizens’ choice of the new TV Queen! Regardless of being strong or crying, this “Get” Girl succeed to leave a deep impression on the audiences. Facing the veterans, meeting the strong and becoming stronger, her performance obviously won over the first series. If she was given the honour of TV Queen, and receive recognition, she will definitely become the focus among the TVB leading ladies. TVB likes to promote people, why not promote her?
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.
Hidden Text:
Michelle Yim (The chance of becoming TV Queen: ***) Can villain win the main award? I think the chance will not be big. After all her age is rather old. If TVB promotes her, why not fiercely promote Fala Chen to be the youngest TV Queen, becoming a household name by being mute, won’t it be a bigger topic?
All the city is paying attention on "Moonlight resonance"'s great ending. Our magazine (Apple) has made a poll for the netizens to vote for best actor, worst actor, most favourite character and most annoying character. The poll closed on September 18th, the result is Raymond becomes the biggest winner, Linda Chung apppears in all four polls.

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 Tries On Her Gown: Hopes To Win An Award
TV Queen hot favorite Susanna Kwan, arrived at a shop in Central yesterday to try out gowns for the night of the TVB awards ceremony. She tried on two different gowns, and then arrived at a jewelry shop, trying on $30 000 000 worth of jewelry. She said that that TVB's anniversary and getting married are two important events, so she can't be careless towards them.
In another magazine report, photos of the other hot favorite, Michelle Yim were taken. She was trying on a gown that revealed her back. It seems like she has confidence in becoming TV Queen. Susanna said that she did not think about fighting for TV Queen with Michelle. For her, she will be dressing up nicely to show respect for the company that night. Susanna said that Michelle's figure is slim, so she looks beautiful no matter what she wears. She expressed that Michelle is the hot favorite for TV Queen, saying: I also support Michelle. If I happen t win, I will be very happy. I wouldn't even know what to say.

Hidden Text:
"TVB Sales Presentation 2009" was held last night at the TVB's TV City in Tsueng Kwan O - this was a major event which honored the advertisers. At 6:30pm, the artistes arrived in their evening wears walking in on the red carpet. Although yesterday the weather was rather chilly, but the Fadans were not afraid of the cold. Tavia Yeung, Ada Choi and Angela Tong were the sexiest, as for Moses Chan and Raymond Lam were the two Siu Sangs that were the most welcomed by female guests. The two of them also were more than welcomed to take pictures with the guests. THe sales presentation began and the artistes were in the cold. Liza Wang and Carol Cheng stood in the first row, followed by Charmaine Sheh next to Carol, representing a true Fadan status. But even non-biological daughter Ada Choi got to stand next to Liza Wang, it is seen that she is a favorite.
Last night Ada wore a low cut evening dress along with sponsored diamonds valued at $4 million. She smiled and said that this time she is really "The Gem of Life". Although the weather was cold, but she smiled and said that it was OK, women who want to be pretty will not care about anything. At the scene there were many people, she's not afraid someone might bump into her? She smiled and said that she's not afraid, each one of them are ladies and gentlemen.
Tavia Yeung's Harvest Year
Last night Tavia Yeung revealed front and back, she was quite sexy. Her evening dress is worth $30,000HKD. Her accessories were sponsored by her friend's company. She said that her sexy look needs to match the scene, yesterday there were many advertisers present, naturally will need to look beautiful and have a good figure, but at the night of TVB anniversary she will be more sexy. Recently there was a report saying that her rumored boyfriend and Yip Sai Wing's ex-girlfriend are together. Tavia expressed that she and the other party were always friends, if the other dates, she will be happy for him. Usually they would sometimes meet and have dinner. Did the guy explain to her? She said friends do not need to have any sort of explanation. But did he introduce Yip Sai Wing's ex-girlfriend to Tavia? Tavia said: "I don't know her. But earlier I heard him speak of wanting to date, I will let fate decide." Speaking of TVB anniversary award nominations, she said that she is already happy, if she gets one it will be the icing on the cake. This year she has already gained a lot. She personally thinks Lee Heung Kam is the Best Supporting Actress, but if she gets the award, she won't be sharing it. If she wins Most Improved Actress award it would be good too because this will be her second time winning one, it will be a history."
Angela Tong last night wore a tube top to the event, she said she used some tape. Asked if she dress so sexily, did she ask Chin Ka Lok first? She smiled and said No Need.

She smiled and said that in the back there is actually a huge hole, but her's isn't as big as Tavia's. As to at the end of the year she has an opportunity to win the Newcomers singing award with Bosco Wong, she smiled and said that if there are awards to get she'll take them, but she wants to be TV Queen.
Bernice Liu wore a 7 inch high heel, but her dress was extremely closed up. She felt that sexy is just personal opinion. As she also made safety measures, having pieces of shirt on front. She believes that her figure could hold it, should not be a problem.
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?"

Liza Wang, Carol Cheng Independent Status
Liza Wang was in a green dress with a white fur to accompany it and had a "Chung Lee" hair style, she said that her outfit is the modern China style. Yoyo Mung who was aside from her also had a green colored evening dress, coincidentally the same as Liza. She smiled and said couldn't believe that such a cold color would clash with Ah Jie (Liza). Roger Kwok and Sonjia Kwok yesterday because of filming "D.I.E II" was unable to attend. As for Charmaine Sheh because she had to work, was unable to make it to walk the red carpet, only was able to take the group picture in the end.
As for the Sales Presentation all of the TVB artistes were in the cold, Ah Jie and Dodo (Carol) were placed to stand in the middle with Charmaine Sheh and Ada Choi besides the two Big Sisters. Michael Miu and Kevin Cheng as the Siu Sangs lined up in the middle area, besides the two were Moses Chan, Raymond Lam, Bosco Wong, Bowie Lam, etc.
As for the beauty of the line up, Ada Choi said that she does not know, she is happy that she still gets attention from TVB. She is thankful of TVB's love towards her. She said that she did not just had a good standing position but each series she's casted in is a Grand Production. She's able to collaborate with both veterns and the newer generations. She said that yesterday the position she was arranged to stand was suprising to her and was happy about it. Will she re-enter TVB and stay with them? She expressed that she and TVB are discussing a contract with great passion, at the moment she does not have any other plans. The collaboration with everyone is very enjoyable and quick, no necessary changes is needed. She stressed that she is a loyal to TVB.
Before the sales presention, the host Amigo Chui invited Stephan Chan to be the boss, Stephan said from the audience below the stage with a smile: "I am not a boss, they are the bosses (the advertisers). But you can call me anything you want, just don't call me Honey." As for "Moonlight Resonances" cast members appeared in 70's costumes for a performance.
Ada Choi's Husband teaches the way
"TVB Sales Presentation 2009" yesterday held its blessing ceremony, many artistes attended including Ada Choi, Moses Chan, Ron Ng, and Ha Yu. When TvB was announcing their plans for next year, Moses, Myolie Wu and Ron all will have 4 series on hand. The three will have the most series compared to the rest of the artistes. As for Tavia Yeung, Charmaine Sheh, and Linda Chung will only have 2 series.
Ron Ng 4 Series on Hand
As to having 4 series on hand, asked Ron if he feels that TVB is paying attention to him? He said that he already had two series that finished filming, in January he will be filming "Look Foward to Father"《巴不得爸爸》. (TVB wants you to get some attention from the media?) Actually this year I filmed a quite a bit. (TVB helping you get popularity?) It's good, each series I used my heart to film it, I would hope to get some response from audience and hope that they like it." Speaking of his good friend Raymond Lam will only have one series next year, he said that because Raymond wants to focus on his singing career. Asked how he felt about it? He said in opposition: "Feel what? I'm not offended. (But your rumors?) That cannot be controlled, will need to take care of myself."
Ada will be filming a series called "True Story of Flying Woman"《飛女正傳》, she will be playing a heroine. Because the role requires her to wear tight clothing, making her chest and butt bigger, during the filming of the sales presentation, it was quite diffcult. It was so difficult that she almost cried! She said: "During the 3 day filming for the sales presentation, I was really regretted for accepting this role, one scene I was hanged from 20 stories up, and I had to do one jump down to the ground. There was no mattress on the ground for protection. Although my husband taught me to keep my back straight when I do these kinds of scenes, but I still thought it was very hard, the feeling felt like I was about to die, which would not be worth it. Even if my husband isn't worried about me, I'm worried about myself, one time I called out for help! (Hanging on wires, you can't have kids then?) I never thought of this before."
There has been reports saying that Ada signed for TVB to be a manager, she immediately denied, and said that she's looking for a manager. As to the reports of her and her manager Helen not getting along, and that she has an illness, Ada said: "Rumors would stop wisemen. I never said she has an illness, I'm just tired and also my contract ended, so I don't want to add more work and pressure for her. The report will not affect me, I also cannot betray."
Ha Yu Has not signed with TVB yet
Also, reports say that Ha Yu signed a contract with TVB, he immediately denied and said: "Nope. My manager said that after the anniversary they will discuss it again. (Is it because they need to talk about the award first?) Can't miss them all up. Don't talk about it anymore, that I'm desperate for the award. (Do you owe Mr. Chan a vote?) I said Moses Chan!" Moses who just passed by said that he voted for Ha Yu. Asked Ha Yu again if he prepared any combat gear? He expressed that no matter if there is an award or not he will be dressed up because needs to match up with the setting. As for Moses who said that next year he'll have 4 series on hand, he smiled: "Reliable! (TVB puts attention on you?) I feel very honored and also they are seeking a change."
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).
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.

NOTE: JSG's Outstanding Performance Award is different from the 4 Stations one, JSG deems singers who haven't received a Gold Song award at their year round ceremony but have received awards at their seasonal selections are eligible. 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 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!"

Therefore we have to work with the company together in this difficult times " Nancy Sit said even the Chief Executive said the economy is bad,m she is a bit worried "Chief Executive shouldn't say that, that would scare people off. I will be working harder from now on and I will reduce my fees too. Although I have been affected by the credit crunch, the luck red packets I give out in the Chinese New Year will bot be reduced. I have prepared $118,000 already for the lucky red packets, hopping everybody has a happy new Year."

Susanna Kwan most memorable scenes being violenty tortured Friday November 6, 2009 Hong Kong Source: On.cc 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].

Susan Tse, Susanna Kwan and Kevin Cheng became the media's target that night too. In particular, Susan's popularity has shot up rapidly recently, and she was considered the hot favorite for winning "Best Supporting actress" award. She admitted to the reporter she would rather get the "Most Improved Actress" award.
Kevin Cheng just came back from Thailand and was asked by reporters whether he went there to pray for the award or to get rid of his bad luck? Kevin insisted he was in Thailand to pray for blessing from the Buddha and has nothing to do with the award. He revealed "I am confident that Wayne will get the award. I am not admitting defeat, but in my heart, Wayne is my "TV King". I don't like comparing one to another, would you rather I compare with Lee Ka Shing? Kevin went on to ask if the magazine actually said he was in Thailand to get rid of his bad luck? "They can write what they want, it is none of my business, but I thank them for giving me publicity."
Susanna admitted she did look at some jewelry but didn't buy any. She felt even if she did, there was nothing wrong for buying something to treat herself as an encouragement. Reporter asked if she wanted to buy them specially for the award, Susannah replied "No, I get sponsored on the night, therefore there is no need to buy. I like having my own jewelry."
