Charlene Choi: Gillian Chung Went to Study in Japan
EEG Ordered to Not Bother Her
Even though Hong Kong films are not doing well in the box office but there are some production companies willing to support the Hong Kong movie industry. Yesterday, Mei Ah and Big Media Group Limited announced that 15 movies will be in production in 2008. Charlene and Wu Chun (吳尊) would work together in the movie “The Lovers” (《武俠梁祝》). Kelly Chan and Leon Lai also star in “An Empress and the Warriors”. Also, Gigi Leung will feature in 《愛得起》. At the press conference, Wu Chun was the focus. During the group picture, he stood in the middle of Kelly and Charlene. This made the new actor very nervous.
During the event, Charlene revealed that her partner Gillian was still in Hong Kong but she will be heading to Japan to study. Manager Mani gave orders not to go and visit her. She wants Gillian to concentrate on her studies. Doesn’t that mean Gillian is being quarantine?
There was always a rumor that Charlene would be replacing her good sister Gillian in the movie. Yesterday, Charlene stressed that she isn’t picking up after Gillian. September of last year, she was already in talks about the role and the movie was set to start filming in November. But the movie was delayed. Charlene said: “I was filming “Wind and Cloud 2” so I couldn’t film “The Lovers”.” Afterwards, the director thought that Gillian would be suitable so he started to contact her about it. But in the end, Gillian was on an extended vacation. Also, “Wind and Cloud 2” schedule was able to accommodate “The Lovers” schedule so I was able to sign onto the movie again.” Charlene admitted that her work will focus on acting later on. She needs to travel between Shanghai and Thailand to film movies. Her work won’t be done until June.
Charlene described that Gillian choose to back out of the movie herself because she wasn’t prepared yet. Is Gillian currently out of Hong Kong? Charlene said: “No, she is still in Hong Kong. But she is pursuing further education. Don’t ask me the time because I can’t tell. Gillian will be gone for a couple of months. During that time, I won’t be visiting her because she will be concentrating on her studies.” Will Juno Mak not be allowed to visit? Charlene replied: “We just want Gillian to be able to study in a quiet environment. Even Mani is not allowed to visit her. No one is allowed to bother Gillian. She will mainly learn about dancing and singing.” Yesterday Charlene praised that Wun Chun was very handsome. You won’t have any problems filming intimate scenes? She said: “It will mainly rely if the script would need it. I am afraid that Wu Chun’s fans will be jealous!”
Wu Chun expressed that he found out that Charlene would be filming the movie a few days ago. But Charlene is not replacing Gillian. He said: “Very early on, I was notified that I will be working with Charlene.” Who do you think will do a better job? Charlene or Gillian? He didn’t directly respond to the question and he was reluctant to do a comparison but he said: “This is my first movie so I am very nervous. I am very happy to be able to act in this movie. I hope I can put my heart into it and do a good job because acting is my dream.”
