WELCOME NEW USERS!

The thread has been moving and a lot of new users are in here!!

Anyway, yeah, I don't think EEG will be stupid enough to produce Gillian an album where they'll lose money and all. The only reason why EEG isn't reuniting Twins is that they don't wanna affect Charlene's career. She's been doing fine solo and they're scared Gillian might effect her. I guess they want to see how Gillian is on her own. We never know what's going to happen. But good news is that they will perform together during their EEG Concert in the later half of the year! Can't wait!
Mary678
To me i think is ok if Twins isn't reunite, I believe that Gillian will be find going solo, her solo album will be success when it release at the end of this year, but I am glad to heard that Twins get to preform at EEG concert, can't wait to hear Gillian's new song it going to be a good song. I hope she will have a duet with some male artist soon. loool.gif
jazzgillian
Mary:i agree on you,Gill's solo album will be a success...i know she improved her skills...and having this may test it...i really can't wait to hear her new songs now...i'm also looking forward to her new movie,i hope for this year...

illgirl:hey!you made it here...there's more fans here,i'm sure you will enjoy staying here too...me too i can't wait to hear her new songs...her album will be a success!...hmm i think EEG already planned this before...you know how they move since then...

A New Interview of Gill,with english subs,i will post the main menu,just click on each small screen,then it will appear

B x alaN n
The format of that interview is SO cool, it lets you pick which one! Here I'll embed one at a time. But thanks jazgillian and thanks for the links from your previous post too! (:

On Charlene.

kyla
Thanks for the videos, jazz and bxalann. I felt it was a great video especially how it was divided into three parts. She has grown to be a much stronger and better person. I'm glad she is able to continue working for those who support her and not let any haters bring her down. Also, she look very confident and beautiful in this interview. I especially love her fingernails.
illgirl91
I saw the interviews and Gillian is so calm now. Like everything is back to normal which is a very good thing. Nice to know she has a positive outlook after the scandal and all. A little dissappointed when she mentioned that she does not keep in contact with Edison though. =( But nonetheless, I will be awaiting the EEG 10th Annicersary concert where Gill and Charlene will sing together hopefully.
jazzgillian
bxalann:your welcome...me too i love how that video was organized,actually i already tried other vids from scmp888 user,that user already uploaded other interviews of Gill...and there's once that i posted a vid from them saying you can ask questions to Gill for this interview just post a video response...

Nelly:your welcome...yeah she's more confident now answering any questions...and me too i'm glad that she's being strong and doing her best for all who supports and love her..that was really a good answer,and she's so beautiful there...

illgirl:yeah she's so calm,she answered all the questions good...hehehe,me too it's like one part was fell,when she answered no about if she's still in contact with him,but whatever nothing change as like you i'm still a EG fan!.. thumbsup.gif

Haha, anyway.. I think August is going to be an amazing month for Gillian! W/ a release of her new plug, a concert w/ her lead and a musical for her! Can't wait! I'm sure there'll be some functions in between!! Support <3.

Hi everyone,

It's my first time posting here. Been reading this thread for about a month or so. And was surprised to find out that I actually have an account here that I registered a long time ago (i dont even remeber!)

Uhm, I just wanted to inform anyone who can't read Chinese, if you wanna keep your account active at twinscct.net, you can't just say 'thanks for sharing' all the way. The rules over there are quite strict and you are going to end up having minus points thus unable to enter a lot of the major boards there.

For those of you who can't read Chinese I'd recommend going to the English board and start from there.
www.twinscct.net/bbs/index.php?gid=163 (what? i can't post URL here?!)
and once you get enough points you will be able to enter pictures section, videos/audios section, and twins' message board (so far only gillian has been leaving messages there though).

I think that's all I wanted to say.

Good luck browsing !

Thanks for the news! I couldn't go into any sites and my friend told me because I didn't have enough posts so I randomly posted "Thanks for sharing" on all the posts, now it works for me. Oopsies! LOL.

I know. Because I saw you doing it. LOL. That's exactly why I decided to pop up here and warn people.

Believe me, they (the moderators of twinscct) will eventually get you.
If your points do get taken off just try to be careful when posting. Don't put too less words in your reply and don't reply to a bunch of threads at the same time. If you do just try not to use the same words. They actually have people watching out for posts like that. And they take off your points if they decided you are 'watering' (posting meaningless posts).

I know it's annoying but if you gotta be there then you gotta follow them rules. lol.

About 70% of the resources of twins' come from twinscct. Other sites are mostly just copying from them.

Except for magazine scans though. Twinsfans.net has the best quality and first-handed magazine scans but their site has been down for quite awhile. And a few photo takers only post their photos at twinsfans.net also.

Hope this helps.

Haha, thanks for warning. That's SO embarassing. HAHAHAAHAHAHA. But I went on the english site you posted and wrote a lot of posts. Oh crap, I really hope they don't dedut my crap, it took a long time you know! LMFAO. Oh Jesus. What should I do? They're gonna like deduct 100.. I think.

Anyway, here's a picture of Gillian's concert poster!!

ootorirei
LOL. It's okay. Nothing to be embarassed about. Everyone has their first time. I wouldn't call that forum user-friendly/newcomer-friendly either. But they have a passion for twins and it's all it matters I guess.

Seems like Oriental Sunday magazine just published a new issue with Gillian's interview in it which is worth reading. People can look forward to the clearer version of it.

jazzgillian
bxalann:thanks for that poster...i can't wait to see the concert,this month was really a good month for Gill...

ootorirei:hi! Welcome here! thumbsup.gif ,thanks for the infos about that site,before i tried to post there,but i think i can't come up with it,so i'll try again...and thanks for that magscan

Here's one of the pics used in the mag that you posted but it's the enlarged and clearer version. I really like this pic.

Credits to: twinscct.net



The description of the pic from the mag says that it's a snapshot taken while Gillian was posing and doing her make-up. She showed a little of her tiredness from days of lack of sleeping due to work. I loved the shot.

I think Gillian has a very small guest role in a movie and she filmed it very secretly. Here is the picture.

Gillian is so beautiful. Love those pictures of her form the interview. Can't wait for Gill's musical and her solo album!

This is a fashion mag that's pointing out Gillian's cartoon dress! It's Balenciaga and it's $8,590!! (HKD)

http://i27.tinypic.com/347xpas.jpg

Even though I'm glad she is filming again, I wish this was a bigger part down.gif Now I'm starting to wonder whether she can only receive smaller roles now unsure.gif Regarding the film I will watch it for Gillian sake but I really hope she will get a lead in movie soon because I really do miss her acting.

Thanks for all the mag scans everyone! I was looking at old photos of her on TC and its amazing how much she has changed.
lilsleepyhead916
I actually don't mind that Gillian isn't filming at this moment. She's currently rehearsing for her stage play and I think that it's good that she's spending so much time rehearsing for it. With more time to practice, then there will be less flaws during her actual performance. And by giving a good performance, people will start noticing her even more based on how well she performed and not by the scandal. I'd much rather have her give a good performance and film no movies at this moment than film movies and give a not so great performance. Also, Mani had stated in one of the news that Gillian has 4 to 5 movie offers right now and they are in discussion of choosing the right one. So I think that after the play and the album that Gillian will probably start filming again.

And another thing, this movie that she's guest starring in has A LOT of guest stars, it's just one of those movies that has that and I think it's already good that she's even in one because it also shows to people that she is still "wanted" by movie producers/directors. A lot of actors/actresses are guest starring in this film, yet that doesn't mean that they have degraded down to guest star status.
ootorirei
The director of the movie that she guest starred in is the same director as Fantastic Water Babes. Jeff Lau. He is famous for directing classic comedy movies back in the days when Stephen Chow was rising up as a comedy actor.

I think Jeff Lau likes Gillian and wants her to be in his movies however the movie investors are not so sure about it because something in China's movie rating system is stopping the sex scandal involved artists' movies to come out.

That is probably why we haven't been able to see Fantastic Water Babes yet.

But as long as Gillian keeps working like she does now, one day she will gain the things that she deserved.

Stage play on the other hand is a HUGE challenge for her. I think that is the most critical project for her this year. I hope she does good in it and does not multitasking too much while rehearsing like she had been doing for the past 7 years. I've always thought multitasking for artists is bad. I mean it's good to see their faces everyday and everywhere but for a long term what do they gain? They have been so busy, too busy to learn and experience things. They know a little bit of this and that and that's all.

It's not the quantity that matters. It's the quality.

Gillian has A LOT of potential in acting she just needs to find a way to discover it, polish it, and use it. I think she's moving on the right track. Time will tell.
B x alaN n
I think these are the lyrics to Gillian\'s upcoming single. It\'s called \"Letter to Say Goodbye to the Past\". I like the title.

Gill#1Fan
ooh gillians starring in a movie as a guest star? that's pretty cool..and alex fong is also in the movie but i'm not sure if hes the main character or not. but i saw a clip and alex said that he and gillian would be at the same scene, but wouldn't have no interaction together. hm, it looks like EEG got something good plan for gillian which is a good thing!

thanks for the lyrics bxalann, but LOLS, what does the song mean? and i agree, i also like the title very well! i hope this is the song gillians going to promote for her new album!

& i'm also wondering what happened wif TFWB? before there was news that it was going to air around july... i guess it was all rumours again. i would love to see TFWB since gillian's character is differnet from her past ones.
kyla
Wow! I love how the thread is moving. Keep it up

lilsleephead, I get what your saying. I would prefer she focus more on the rehearsals for the stage play also. I guess I was a little excited about the concert and upcoming album that I was wishing they would confirm she will take lead in movie soon. I got little ahead myself lmao.gif I'm a thinking this movie for which she took a smaller role in will be shown in middle of next year. I will sure to support it.

Ootorirei, Let me start by Welcoming you to the thread. I thought the whole issue with Gillian working in the mainland was solved. For the last few months, every event she took part in was mainly in China. Hopefully this won't be issue for long because its really getting old. I doubt Gillian will take any role that will have a negative effect on the youth of China. Besides, she has a lot of fans who support her over there.

bxalann, Yeah I agree it is a good title for her first single. I guess shes saying goodbye to the past by letting her feeling out on paper. I can't wait to hear it.

Gillian's new mag. She looks gorgeous. The outfits are so chic!




*.marshmalloww
Oooo, looks like Vincy is gona be a part of Gillian's concert! I'm so glad!! Hehehehe, double the love for the concert! : )
As for the song and lyrics, it is unconfirmed, so it could only be a rumour, but I'm glad to see news starting to slowly come out! I can't wait to hear her first song being broadcasted on radio! ^^

As for TFWB, I think it's not gona release till her appearance in HK is stable...like as many people said, she's more accepted in China right now than HK... I think maybe next year would be a possible time for the movie to come out. I think maybe they would be looking at the result of her songs release and stuff?
Mary678
Wow I really love Gillian new photo she look so adorable especially her eyes. I also hope that TFWB will release soon because I have been waiting for this movie to release long time ago, and Gillian able to take the lead in the new movie soon. Can't wait for the EEG concert to hear Gillian's new song always support Gillian clapping.gif

Ok, now Twins CCT won't even let me view the english forum! It's not letting me view anything! LOL! I think because I wrote "thanks for sharing" like 100 times! Do you know what I can do now? I have no more Twins source because Twinsfans is down too!

And I'm glad Gillian has a guest role in that movie. With so much artists, that means the film should be pretty good too. I don't mind if Gillian doesn't film either because the musical is most important. Hopefully, they'll take things slow and work on the album slowly.
illgirl91
Thanks for all the magazine scans everyone! Gillian looks so pretty, she has changed alot from before. I think EEG and Mani are slowly bringing back Gill into the industry, but because they are still somewhat iffy about how the public will react they don't want to make a too big of a advancement yet. It is still her first year back since the scandal, so I hope in time, we will see more of Gillian! But as for her musical, even she said she needs to be very focused- she turned down several job opportunities so she can remain focused from now till te end of the musical's run.
kyla
I love the newest magazine scans infatuated.gif She look so fresh and gorgeous. Thanks bxalann for the updates.

I understand why EEG is being careful about promoting Gillian in hk. Actually, I don't really care whether Gillian is working in the mainland or hk. I know a lot of fans would prefer she stay in hk but I feel as long as shes working I'm ok with whatever EEG has planned for her. Next week is the concert and main thing is to the show the audience that shes been working really hard to improve herself. I wish can be there to show my support but its not the right time me. I hope there are some clips of the concert because I'm really dying to see what songs she will perform.
AtinaDaAznGurl
Wow, thanks for the photos!!!
I'm glad Gillian is releasing a solo album soon!
Do you guys know if theres going to be a recording of her musical? it would be a shame if fans couldn't see her performance. >_<

I'm a tad confused, so EEG is her agency for both music and acting? (I'm just confused since some stars have different agencies for acting and music.)

Apparently, I don't think there's going to be a recording of the musical. It's not going to be on DVD. Just like Charlene's musical. That's why there's going to be 6 shows for fans to go and see.

EEG is Gillian's company for everything. They find movies for her, they help her record albums and they find ads for Gillian to sponsor, basically it's for everything. Lol, hope this helps!

holy crap, bxalann, i just checked your status at the forum and it shows that you are banned from posting.
i saw one of the mods saying don't reply to old post or something like that underneath one of your posts. you are now in -74 points (minus/negative 74 points).

i think the best way to solve this problem is to register a new account. lol. and start things slowly.
i wish i could transfer some of my points to you though, cus i've got plenty. let me find out how and i'll get back to you later.


and as for gillian's contract with eeg yes she signed all her management, publishing of music, publishing of movie/drama serie all in one. and the contract length is LONG. that's the trait of eeg artists is that most of them signed long contracts. the ones who can't stand it will go off, like isabella leung, but that's a special case because isabella met someone powerful enough to stand against eeg.

anyway, yeah, I find it shocking that Mani and EEG never gave up on Gillian or terminated her contract. Maybe because Gillian is another source of income for them and she doesn't make little amounts. Hopefully her real comeback (album and musical) will be a success like her other ads!

Gillian Chung's scenes deleted in new movie, Alex Fong: I often take the blame
Wednesday August 5, 2009 Hong Kong
Source: Mingpao
Translated by: aZnangel @ http://asianunivese.net/forums

A few days ago there were reports that said the news of Gillian Chung's secret guest appearance in new film (越光寶盒) leaked. The Production Company for the movie was worried that Ah Gil's exposure would affect the film approval problems, therefore they cold-heartly decided to cut out all of Gillian's parts. Last night, Alex Fong attended an event and was asked about the issue, it was apparent that he did not want to say too much. He said with no expression: "Don't talk about it. Wait until the Production Company provides an explanation. Actually this movie is filled with stars, there are more than 60 artists who will be making a guest appearance. I am one of them." It was said that the Production Company blamed him for admitting that Gillian was going to be a guest star when the Media asked him. Alex innocently took the blame and said: "I often take the blames, if I didn't take any then I'm not considered a man!" When asked about Gillian's scenes being cut off, is it unfair to her? Alex said: "It has not been decided on how much screen time Gillian will have, so it is not convenient for me to say anything now. That day when I took the blame, the Media asked me if its because the news mentioned Gillian's name. Other reports said that I exposed the news myself. I don't know if those many reports are true or false."

Juno Mak was also at the event. He felt that at this moment, it is most important for Gillian to do well on her work. He hopes that everyone could give her some space and praises that she's a strong artist. He said: "I heard from the Media that she's going to release an album soon. I hope that people could give her more encouragement. (Her scenes were deleted?) She should not be unhappy about this, first work hard on the current jobs."


omfg ==" I don't get WHY they HAVE to always delete her scenes! It pisses me off so much!! As if complaints aren't enough, they still have to treat her so unfairly and waste all her efforts (PLUS MANY OTHER PEOPLE's) and just press a button DELETE her scenes!

See, that's why Fantastic Water Babes isn't released.
AND she's in bathing suits in that movie, I can so understand why the movie isn't released yet. I'm glad. I rather wait then have people bash her and diss Gill.
Bathing suits on screen probably is not the best for her right now.
Gill#1Fan
wow. that's pretty messed up of them to cut gillian's scene out just cas it was leaked. wtf is that?! how is it going to affect their movie?! gosh. these people don't even give her a chance. if they were really afraid that gillian's going to affect their movie, then why do they even bother inviting her to star in it in the first place? sheesh.
ootorirei
the news of gillian's appearance being deleted has not confirmed yet. the press always like to make a big deal out of everything gillian's involved in.

it's two different things why the director wanted her to be in the movie and why china's movie rating system won't allow it. gillian is a good actress so the director wanted her to be in their movies. the director will have to get the agreement from the movie investers first. in this case i dunno who the investers are so i can't judge at this point but the fact that they allow gillian to be in it must mean that they wanted gillian in their movies.

china's movie rating system on the other hand has its own unspoken rules so i think eeg and the production company wants to try out the system and see if they could go through.

of course, if not, there is always HK. why, gillian's stage play is being held in HK for god's sake.
hk movies aren't making money as they were back in the 90's so china's audience is needed at this market n economy. but remember gillian's last movie "Trivial Matters" was only shown in hk's movie theaters. it was a small production but i remember gillian received some good reviews in it.

eeg is the invester of TFWB so i'm sure they want big money out of it. so they wanted it to be able to make it to china's theaters. that's why they waited and waited.

as for bathing suits i find no problem with bathing suits. i see no reason limiting her roles, appearances and images now. she should be freed from it. (remember, the reason why she is being bashed the most is because her image was too limited. too much restrictions.)
and the kind that she wore in the movie were the kind that people wear in professional contests so it was nothing 'inappropriate' (for some ppl) anyway.

kyla
That's probably why they gave her a smaller role so they can delete if necessary. I'm starting to think maybe she should try her luck in the mainland because hk is full of BS. This is one of the reasons why I would prefer she not take any small roles. Hopefully this doesn't bring her spirit down because she has so much to look forward to and her fans will be there to support regardless.

I bet the haters are having a field day with this one dry.gif I'm going to focus on something positive which is her concert next week.
ootorirei
gillian said she will work hard for the ones who support her. so be positive and forget about the haters okay.

she should be focusing on rehearsing her stage play at this point anyway.

and also i wanted to clarify that it's a play that she's gonna be starring in, not musical. basically in musicals they sing songs here and there and dance to express their feelings. in a play they don't sing songs nor dance to express. they simply act.

see wiki definition for play - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_(theatre)
and musical - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_theatre
sally1881
hm ... i don't really understand why alex is blaming himself ... ? because he's not the one who leaked the photo of the cast's schedule with gillian's photo, name and scene numbers ... and he's not the one who leaked the photo of her filming ...

Gillian Chung acts in stage musical; tickets unsalable

http://images.asianfanatics.net/gallery/al...g/thumb_2_2.jpg

Source: TOM
Translation: Sarah @ http://asianfanatics.net

Ah Gil, who has lately been busy doing endorsements and attending various functions has confirmed that she and Ah Sa have disbanded. In the future, she will be developing independantly, and release a solo album.

EEG wants Ah Gil to make a full comeback, but on the other hand doesn't want TWINS to drag down Ah Sa. Going their own ways is the only feasible solution. Lately, EEG has invested in stage musical 'I Ought To Be In Pictures', wanting to use stage drama king Phoebe Chan's popularity to boost Ah Gil and pave the way for her comeback. However, although Phoebe has many fans who have been anticipating for quite some time, he has also been dragged down by bad-image Ah Gil, and the tickets have been unsalable.


(one of AF's Official Translators clarrified the "confirmed that she and ah sa have disbanded" and said the correct translation is "'almost for sure they will disband'. It didn't say that they've actually disbanded." i guess the article is saying judging by how gillian is also releasing an album .. it appears most likely they will disband ...

but yikes ... the sales aren't doing too good ... ? is that why she's been doing more promotions for them ...
Megazerox
I don't see the problem for Gillian to guest star in a movie since she lonly have like a few minutes in the movie. Also Gillian look great as Sun Shang Xiang. in that pic and hope her scene doesn;t get deleted. Why can China act a little more mature?. And its great to hear Gillian is going to release a solo album and hope its a successful one for her come back to the music industry.

I haven't posted here for a while, but I've been reading smile.gif

Anyway, about the ticket sales, the play first started with (from what I remember) three days, with three shows. And then a few weeks after tickets were up for sale, they added a further day (30th August) and increased the total number of shows to six. If the ticket sales were really doing as badly as the article says, why would they increase the number of shows? to throw away money?

Also, HK fans have said that tickets were selling pretty quickly and it seems like its getting more difficult to buy tickets now.

Lastly, the original article is from the Next magazine, who are known to constantly pick on Gillian. Tom.com just provided a sort of summary of the article.

So I guess whether or not you believe it is up to you to decide.

I'm so happy that Gillian is releasing an album though! I just hope they don't rush it because it's really important that this album is good quality. It's good to see a lot of people in HK forums interested in what is rumoured to be her new song though!

Welcome Cathy` haven't seen you here in a long time.


-- What the hell? I think the article is fake too! Not once did Gillian ever mention that they're disbanding. They're always making up stuff.

And I hope the news about her musical unselling is fake because over at TwinsCCT a lot of fans cannot purchase tickets because it's out. I hope her musical does well.

And, I hope Gillian scenes aren't cut out. Why are they wasting her time when they're already so cautious in putting her in the film?

bxalann, just so you know ... the article doesn't say that gillian said twins are disbanding ... if you read what i typed (i even bolded since i knew some people wouldn't read and would angry ... ) and what an official translator here at AF wrote ... the correct translation is "'almost for sure they will disband'. It didn't say that they've actually disbanded." .... the article is saying judging by how gillian is also releasing an album ... charlene and gillian are doing their own thing ... despite eeg/charlene/gillian not saying so ... it appears most likely they will disband ... or at least continue doing their own thing ... sort of like f4 ....

in the page for the article ... you wrote

"This article is bullsh*t. It doesn't even make sense and it's not even real. (...) Why is this FAKE article even allowed for posting?"

that's really harsh ... especially for the translator who put it in effort to translate it ... because the article IS real ... http://post.yule.tom.com/s/4C000A8F712.html?source=TOM_N15 .... it's from tom.com which is a very reliable source for news ... even if they are providing a summary of another article ...

you don't have to always get so angry ... for all we know this might have been news leaked by eeg/mani so gillian fans will think that ticket sales aren't doing so well ... so they'll have incentive to buy more ... or maybe the ticket sales for the play aren't doing so hot and sites are making it a gimmick to make people think tickets are running out and hurry to get more ... either way ... there's uncertainty ...

and i may be wrong ... but didn't the original poster for the play from june say that tickets are $390, $290 and $190 ...



and this new photo from july 23 you can see at the top is saying (it's still 3 days, 3 shows in total i believe ... ) that tickets are 3 for $100 ... ?

That's really sucks that her scenes might get deleted from that movie. I think that the Hong Kong Film industry has always been really different from mainland and perhaps deleting her scenes to get better sales and enter the mainland market is a little extreme since its just a guest appearance.

B x alaN n, thanks for the reply, I had no idea that Charlene had done a play too. Too bad I don't live in Hong Kong...and can't understand Cantonese well. Hopefully other fans will post pics from the musical! biggrin.gif And I guess EEG isn't so bad, it seems like less hassle to have an agency to handle everything for her, so that's good.


I am a bit bummed that Twins may disband, but I hope Gillian can have more duets, asides from her solo work, since the duets that she has done, like with Kenny have been really sweet.


'Cathy, I think you have a good point, I didn't see it that way when I first read the article, but it makes a lot of sense that with the increase in show times, people might be waiting to the last minute to buy since they know there are more tickets available now. And also I sometimes forget that the media tends to be biased, depending on the source. That make me happy thinking that maybe low tickets sales may not be the actual case. smile.gif

AtinaDaAznGurl: I think it's because people don't know the article actually originated from the Next magazine (壹週刊), a HK gossip magazine. People think the news came from tom.com, so they think it's something they can trust. But tom.com just took everyhing from the magazine. Anyway, now that the article is out, I guess even if every seat was filled up on every night of the shows, haters will just say that EEG bought the seats or something. I just hope that the show and Gillian's performance will receive good reviews from critics.

Thanks for always being on my case. And I wasn't "angry". I just thought it was ridiculous.

I hope whatever you posted wasn't true! Hope the show does well, because if tickets are $100 for 3, that's gotta be a problem because that's ridiculously CHEAP.

You welcome! Yeah, there will definitely be photos of her musical!! Charlene has already done two musicals!

So I've read all the articles that are online about Gill's scene's being deleted and how her musical can't sell tickets. That's just a lot of b*llsh*t. I mean come on people. Gillian may have a bad image, but she does deserve a second chance. She was well liked before the scanddal and now that so many people support her, don't make it any harder for her as it already is. People need to understand that after a scandal like this one, it takes alot of bravery and courage to make a comeback, withstanding all the remarks and criticism of the public. Her company wouldn't have brought ehr back if they saw no opportunity to profit form Gillian, so people need to just calm down and forget about it already. Poor Gill, right before her musical premieres all this stupid news surfaces.

Hello Cathy, The whole tom.com article had me going in circles. It was very confusing and it also look very fake. It looks more of a personal opinion than a news article but after reading your post I can clearly see why it doesn't make any sense. I mean, why would EEG add another day if sales was so low? And I don't believe that BS about EEG making it look like the tickets are selling well but actually not. Only haters would think that crap frusty.gif Why waste their money on something that is not selling well?

Until EEG confirm that Gillian has been removed from the movie, I'm going keep my fingers crossed and hope they give her a chance. Gillian could of been doing something more important instead of filming a scene that would eventually get deleted out. HK really needs to grow up!!

as for bathing suits i find no problem with bathing suits. i see no reason limiting her roles, appearances and images now. she should be freed from it. (remember, the reason why she is being bashed the most is because her image was too limited. too much restrictions.)
and the kind that she wore in the movie were the kind that people wear in professional contests so it was nothing 'inappropriate' (for some ppl) anyway.

Of course there is no problem. There's nothing wrong with being NAKED in a movie either.

It's just that people will use the fact that she had those types of photos seen to all public and then probably start talking about how she's showing herself or w/e just any negative comments that will work on her. Like parents, omfg, I can so imagine them going like "omgd why are they showing movies where she's not fully dressed...such bad influence..." rolleyes.gif (But yes, you are right in the fact where the suits aren't even that revealing, but what I am trying to say is the fact that people will use different light to look at her just because of the scandal)

AND people have been even deleting scenes of her where she has like SMALLLLL roles, so obviously they aren't going to release a WHOLE movie.

Like we can all see, there ARE peoplewhistle.gif that like to find negative stuff to talk about even if it's not even a big deal. ==" That's why I THINK that the company won't release this movie....and plus, she hasn't been well accepted in HK yet either.

I don't care when they release it, if they want to release it in 2 years or whatnot, I'm okay with that. Just as long as they still do. I'm sure they know when's a good time to release her movie. I just hope they don't CANCEL the movie altogether.......

As for sally, I'd have to agree, I hardly see any positive comments...so you can't really blame people for suspecting if you even like her or not.

Anyhow, musical sales not doing well?
Wth 100dollars for THREE?! Are you kidding me? That's RIDICULOUSLY CHEAPP.
Gillian still has quite a fanbase...so I think there will be support there. I'm sure even if the sale aren't doing well, they are doing OKAY. Plus, it's not only her in it anyway! I'm sure there are other supporters for the other actors as well! No need to worry~ Plus, I don't think the news is THAAT official anyway, if it was really doing THAT bad, they'd make headlines about it and saying how it's all her fault =="
