Kate Tsui has been promoted by TVB heavily. She has filmed one drama after another,and have been given the "Most Improved Female Artiste" award last year. She has recently started to film for another drama titled "美麗高解像" (English Translation. Beauty High-Resolution). Because she was one of the female leads,she has to work day and night. Not only that she became ill,having insufficient rest affected her condition to film,this resulted Kate to become easily angry for having too many NGs as she is not satisfied with her performance. She cried to the producer in the dressing room,and it was fortunate that the producer is a understanding person. The filming for outdoor scenes was halted and Kate was allowed home to rest. Kate returned to film again after she pacified herself.

Kate Tsui competes in a beauty pageant again in the drama

Kate Tsui,Christine Ng and Sharon Chan's role in "美麗高解像" (English Translation. Beauty High-Resolution) will be 3 women of different ages living in different stages of life. Kate's role is very similar to her lifestyle in real life. The storyline of Kate's role in the drama is about her entering the entertainment industry after a beauty pageant. Because she is the female lead,her on screen time is more than the other casts. Because she fell ill while filming,she has to request for half a day of leave to rest.

High expectation + insufficient rest = ???

Kate Tsui has high expectations on herself. Because she was too tired and got insufficient rest,she was not satisfied with her performance. Her pressure became heavier and finally cried to the producer. Information revealed that her face was red and swollen in the dressing room. After the producer understands the situation and learnt that she is too tired,he decides to stop the outdoor filming and allowed Kate to return home for a rest of a few hours.

Producer admits Kate is stress

We have called the producer for a phone interview. He admitted that Kate is weighed down by the stress of filming. He said "Kate is giving herself stress,maybe she does not have sufficient sleep and was not prepared. Its like a student taking an examination with insufficient sleep,they will blame themselves for scoring badly." (Did she cry until her face was red and swollen?) "No.. Her body is feeling unwell and has got headaches. Its not a big problem." Asked if the producer will reconsider Kate's schedule,he said "We will look into it! As a producer,i have got to make use of time. We were at Tai O to film an outdoor scene earlier,the hot weather has almost caused her to suffer from dehydration. Kate has to do voice recording and attend promotion events for "Moonlight Reasonance" recently. She told me that she is very tired. I will look into her condition after her rest before i decide on the next schedules."

Manager : "Kate sleeps about 1 to 2 hours everyday"

Kate's Manager,Atom revealed that Kate has got only about an hour to 2 hours of rest everyday. It has been on going for a week. Because she was too tired hence she tend to get angry easily. "Her teary eyes was also the result of getting insufficient rest,not any tearful complains"

Christine Ng and Sharon Chan : We have not washed our hair for days!

The other 2 female leads,Sharon Chan and Christine Ng have also admitted that being the lead of the drama is very toilsome and tiring. Sharon Chan revealed that she has to film in another drama (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) while filming (Beauty High-Resolution). She has tried 4 days of not washing her hair or removing make ups. Sharon also reveals that she cherishes her time for rest. Christine Ng said "I have also tried not washing my hair for 3 days. Almost every drama is the same. Kelvin Cheng,Chin Ka Lok were suffering even more as they have to wear uniforms to put out fires in (Burning Flame III)." Asked if she has spoke to Kate to help relieve her stress? Christine Ng said "I didn't know,and didn't ask. I am more worry about her performance. The duty of an artiste is to do their best on their work. The producers were the one responsible to deal with artiste's problems."
