Frankie Lam Does Not Mind if wife Kenix Kwok gets Plastic Surgery
Saturday November 3, 2012 Hong Kong

Translated by: aZnangel @ http://asianuniverse.net/forums/
Frankie Lam, Felix Wong and his daughter Adrian Wong, Sek Sau, Dominic Lam and Leila Tong attended at the CTI promotion event. The making of clips for CTI's 12 series were shown at the event. Audience got to play games with the artists and win prizes as well. Dominic laughed: "Our prizes, each one is about HK$2,000, it won't be some doll." Apparently, Dominic was indirectly mocking the TVB's TV Buddy doll. Sek Sau was asked if there are any differences between CTI and other TV stations? He said: "I won't talk about the past, I just look at the present and the future."
Frankie is currently busy shooting Three Faced Doctor, where he portrays a plastic surgeon. It is suspected that the series plagiarized American drama series Nip/Tuck? Frankie said he feels very good after joining CTI. The new company has the motivation to demonstrate a new technique in the history of HK television. He does not believe that there will be plagiarism involved. He said he personally does not oppose to plastic surgery, and can accept small fixes. He said: "I've done some homework at the beauty salon. According to my research, botox isn't too painful, but they said I don't have to get it done yet." When asked if he accepts his wife Kenix Kwok getting plastic surgery? He said: "I have to see what she's doing, something big won't be necessary."
Ha Yu and Paw Hee Ching are joining CTI March 2013, Felix expressed he is excited to work with them. He said he couldn't believe he can meet them again after so many years and he's currently enjoying his work at CTI. He has confidence that CTI will be able to get their license next year.

Challenge of New Mother, Leila Tong feels guilty hurting baby's face

"Parents worry about their children forever", first time mother Leila Tong has a deep understanding of this! Facing just her two month old baby boy Chun Chun, Leila is focused entirely on giving him attentive care. However, it is inevitable for babies to encounter injuries and illness during their growth, when she talks about her first breastfeeding experience, she carelessly hurt her baby's face, making her heart ache. "I accidentally scratched his face, that moment I felt very guilty and my heart was aching. Last month, my son had to get his shots, I saw him cry in pain, and couldn't help but drop a few tears with him...I rather suffer his pain!" The maternal love is surely generous!
Started out as a child star Leila Tong tied the knot with stage play actor Desmond Tang last year. March of this year, she gave birth to their son and after two months, Leila has already lost the weight. During her interview with [Mingpao Weekly], she talks about the joys of baby care.
"I never felt too familiar with babies or children, but instead I would get excited when playing with dogs. It turns out that there the so-called 'sacrifices of mothers' does exist in nature. Like when Chun Chun was born, first time breast feeding at the hospital, I felt nervous. I had to hold him tightly on one arm and also help him turn to the side. Perhaps my nails were a tad too long, but I accidentally scratched his face and saw him hurt. That moment, I felt very guilty. The doctor told me that I should not be too worried. Later, many times no matter if the mother or the baby hurts him, it will be fine in no time."
"Just like a few days ago, I was carrying Chun Chun, he suddenly started crying. Later I realized he scratched himself on the face with his own nails, his face had two scratch marks. In fact, I already tried my best to check his nails, but just one miss can cause trouble. There was also another time when he was 6 weeks old, he had to go visit the doctor for his first shot. I saw a needle poke into his arm and he cried in pain. My heart really ached, Chun Chun actually stopped crying pretty quickly, but I was still tearing up nonstop. Later, I couldn't stand myself anymore, what was I crying for? It turns out that being a mother really does feel pain inside her own heart when she sees her children in pain." Leila's eyes became teary as she spoke.
Will not give up beloved pet dogs for Baby
In the current society, for their child's education, many parents become a worry master. However, Leila is not too worried in this area. "I just want my son to be a happy person and have good health. Many people are so anxious to find a school for their children to attend. The baby's just a few months old and they are already thinking from A to Z. Let him get a bit older and let it naturally develop. My husband and I are actually more concern about teaching by action, allowing him to be in contact with more people, nature, and more interaction with our four dogs at home. It's interesting, two of our dogs especially like my son. One time they were licking his feet and when Chun Chun is crying, they charge over to see him faster than me. There was another time, a friend was carrying Chun Chun, those two dogs were following the friend. It's like they were helping me guard him. Of course baby is too small, I have to be around for them to have mutual interactions. Some people give up on their pets after they have a baby, this is really not a good move! I treat my dogs as my own children, they are part of the family and there is no reason because of a new family member, that we have to give up on a current member, both can coexis

Leila Tong, because of misfortune obtains fortune and increase in income
Sunday July 12, 2009 Hong Kong
Translated by: Phixster @ http://asianfanatics.net
Leila Tong who often travels between mainland China and Hong Kong is not worried about Swine Flu because whenever she goes out on trips, she will always take a large amount of antiseptic wipes just in case. In regards to mainland China’s proposal that artists take responsibility for the products they are spokesperson for, Leila is not affected and laughs that her income is increasing not decreasing.
Because of her job, Leila often travels between Mainland China and Hong Kong, but she is not worried about swine flu because apart from taking large amounts of antiseptic wipes with her, mainland China’s prevention measures are also done well: “Every time I fly to mainland China, once we arrive the staff will measure every passenger’s temperature to ensure no one has a fever before letting me go. There’s no need to worry if their prevention measures are done so well! I also think that both Hong Kong and mainland China people have high hygiene awareness, everyone who goes on the plane wears a mask, so I feel very safe”
Lately, she has continuously been in China to be a model for a cosmetic brand and in regards to the government proposal that artists be responsible for the products they are spokesperson for, she laughs that it is inevitable and she is extra careful when accepting jobs: “In truth, before I accept an advertising job, I will always check if there are side effects of the product. I think that as a public figure, I must be careful when accepting jobs.”
No restrictions, no pressure
Even though she has decreased in rank and pay from spokesperson to model, Leila’s income has not been affected: “There is no problem in being a model, because there is less pressure and less restriction being a model , so I have earned more money”

Leila Acting as a Deceitful Prostitute for her New Stage Production
Friday December 12, 2008 Hong Kong
translated by mars123cc @ http://asianfanatics.net
The versatile Leila Tong recently is acting as a deceitful prostitute for her new stage production. Besides having to be elegant, high-class, and exquisite- already giving the originally boyish Leila a hard time-, the long and difficult dialogues in the stage have caused the experienced Leila to practice very hard.
After receiving many positive reviews in “Popcorn”, Leila has gotten a lot of attention from many stage production directors. But because of her busy schedule, Leila has only recently found time to be a part of “A Mad World, My Master”. In the production, Leila is in charge of all the extravagant parties and functions. But because Leila has to act “deceitful”, there has been many hilarious laughs.
Memorizing lines all day
Although Leila seems to be very elegant and bookish on the outside, but in reality she is a tom-boy. Even the make-up and wardrobe that every female artist worries about, Leila doesn’t really care. So this new role for her can be said to be a huge challenge for her.

TVB FaDan Leila Tong prepares for Stage Production
Hong Kong TVB FaDan Leila Tong, has become more popular with mainland audiences after her tv series and album surfaced in mainland. Especially since the mainland grand production of “The Last Princess” that she acted in has begun to air in many major tv networks in mainland China. In addition to the current upheavals amongst the Tvb artist and because of Leila’s recent performances and promising future, it is no wonder that the media and members in the industry have begun to see her as Charmaine Sheh's successor.
Leila right now is busy rehearsing for her stage production. Leila told us that in this stage production her lines are long and hard. She is basically memorizing lines all day; when walking, driving, taking a shower, and she even repeats her lines to her dogs! She hopes that she can hurry up and begin rehearsing without the script.
In her stage production Leila will be acting as a party girl in the 1930s call Au Yeung Wen. This stage production is directed by Yu Chan Kau and Joey Leung. It will be playing from December 19th through 21st in Hong Kong’s Sha Tin Town Hall.

Leila Tong seeks new challenges, hopes to win awards
source: The Sun
translation by: mars123cc @ http://asianfanatics.net
Leila Tong is still young, but she’s already been in the industry for many years. To replace her “younger sister” image, Leila’s been working hard to change. She has been challenging herself to different characters, hoping to reach a new level in her career. Seeming to not care much about fame, Leila has also had a “hoping for awards” moment. “It’s like wanting to win a lottery!”
Always giving audience a feeling that she is your younger sister, Leila has already grown up. Besides acting good and bad, annoying and spoiled characters, Leila recently has stepped up to another challenge. In her new movie she will be acting a delusional mother with a ten year old son and there will be a lot of “tears in the heart” personal scenes. When asked if changing her image was to help set the road for an award, Leila laughed and said “To tell you the truth, if you ask me if I like to receive awards, I would say yes. It’s just like when you were in school in good an achievement award or even if you win the lottery. But getting awards to me is just a bonus. I enjoy the feeling to get to film movies and series. My happiness will not be determined about whether or not I receive an award. Actually when there are times when friends that I have not seen for a long time send me texts to say that I did well, I already am really happy.”
Most scared filming Life Made Simple
Even after filming so many different characters, Leila laughed and said that she also had some nervous moments. “The most difficult character to act was An Kei in Life Made Simple. Her character…., but because earlier the younger sister parts I acted in were at most just spoiled, I have never tried a character that was both good and bad. The most unforgettable memory was the first day I started filming. The director made me change the ways I was to speak in all of the dialogue, so I became confused and really scared that I would do it badly.
Although she still isn’t at a super popular status, but we can see that Leila’s acting is getting a lot more mature. Always striving to the best, Leila said that many times after work she would think about how she did for the day. There would be a lot of times when she realizes that she didn’t like what she did. “I would always be driving my car and blaming myself saying ‘why didn’t I do that in that scene?’ or ‘I should have done that’. But before finishing filming, some of the elders would come and tell me that it is normal. Because if there was a day that I was happy with my acting, then that meant I have no more room for improvement. I enjoy the feeling to know that I still need to improve”.
The road to change
When Leila first entered TVB, she was acting mostly as someone’s little sister. Like in The Greed of Man when she acted as the younger version of Wu Yung Hung, and in Racing Peak when she acted as the younger version of Ada Choi. She always gave people the feeling as your “girl next door”. It was only until in Life Made Simple when she acted as the greedy but kind hearted An Kei, did her acting become more noticed and started her road to change her image. She then performed in the stage production “Popcorn” in which she acted as an actress who would do anything to reach fame and fortune, the move L for Love L for Lies in which she acted as the girlfriend who did nothing but yell at her boyfriend. Although Leila has tried many different characters, but thankfully Leila has not changed her healthy image because of it.

translation by: mars123cc @ http://asianfanatics.net
Leila tong, Samuel Pang, and Maggie Siu (邵美琪) will be working together in Dennis Law‘s new film. Leila will act a mother who has a lot of mental problems; knowing that her boyfriend sexually harassed her daughter but still does not say anything. There are a lot of more personal scenes, giving Leila’s acting skills a huge test. Dennis Law said, “I think Leila’s acting is really good. The character’s inner feelings are very complex and I really want Leila to act this part. This movie combines some of the more recent styles of detective movies into it. The main female character is a woman who knows that her boyfriend has sexually harassed her daughter, but says nothing about it. In the end she personally kills her daughter. At first I thought Leila wouldn’t agree to this part, but after she read the script she thought the character would be a big challenge for her and she accepted it”.
The main male character is to be played by Samuel Pang, who acts as Leila’s boyfriend. Dennis Law said, “Samuel considered it for a long time before finally agreeing to act in it. I am really grateful of him and Leila. Although this movie has some sensitive subjects about it, but there won’t be any graphical content.” Maggie Siu will act as a top policewoman, she will often times be very violent. It will be a new challenge!

It will be a new challenge!

Leila@Blog: Working and sampling fabulous dishes in Shanghai
I was part of the crew in Tvb series, ever since it solely aired in Shanghai Dragon Tv, it was warmly received by the mainland audiences. Since then, Dragon Tv invited Angela Tong and I to Shanghai to join a series of functions, and also in order to boost the rating of the series.
This time, although the trip was rather packed, but I felt that it was worth it since I was able to meet up with my mainland fans. When I reached Shanghai International Airport, there were already a large group of fans waiting, and they screamed and shouted in delight when I approached, and I felt the warm welcome they gave me. During the trip, other than accepting interviews from the reporters, we were also invited to be the special guest for one of the shows on Dragon Tv. In the show, when the host introduced us to the children, and told them that Angela Tong and I specially came down to see them, and they were elated, Angela Tong also used simple english to lead them to sing and dance, and I, on the other hand, used simple movements to teach them how to coordinate their movements when they dance.
This time, the functions in Shanghai were very successful, other than communicating and meeting up with many of my mainland fans, Angela Tong and I also sampled many fabulous Shanghai dishes, and I especially loved their 'Shanghai Pork Dumpling'.

There is more and more variety of pasta, other than the common spaghetti, there are still, penne, farfella and linguini and this is suitable for Leila Tong. Leila Tong who loves seafood, and special recommended the Eel Pizza: “Mostly pizza are made with meat as main ingredient, but this eel pizza doesn’t give you a greasy feeling, but at the same time satisfy those who like to eat meat, and this will be the dish I’ll order if I go for gatherings with my friends.”

Leila Tong: Learning a lot from other great artists
Leila Tong: Learning a lot from other great artists
Entering the entertainment industry at the age of 8 with her performance as Chung Chuk Hong (钟楚红) in Once a Thief, TVB’s fa dan Leila Tong has had very good results in both movies and TV series. Her appearances in Take My Word For it 2, Burning Flame, and Twin of Brothers, have caused a lot of mainland audiences to like this cute beauty. With the mainland productions of Liao Zhai and The Last Princess, she became more widely familiar with audiences in China. Coming to Shanghai to promote her series Bar Benders, she accepted an interview from QQ, let us hear what she had to say.
Never setting a limit
When Leila was younger, she already was in many Hong Kong movies and series, including acting as the younger version of Leslie Cheung in Bride with White hair. Although she’s a girl, her portrayal as a boy left many memories for the audience. Leila is now a TVB fa dan, although she is young, but having a lot of ‘acting’ years of experience, she is filled with the poise and posture of stars in the 60s. Whether in Life Made Simple or Liao Zhai we can all see her acting abilities. Her appearance in War and Destiny showed her versatility and her current series, The Last Princess, has received high ratings in many places. Towards choosing characters, Leila revealed that she likes the feeling of acting, and won’t be too picky. There’s a lot of people who think because I have a baby face that I won’t be able to act some parts, and I thought that too, but many people have told me that I have to breakthrough myself to let myself try new roles. Like this time in Bar Benders, I am actually a pretty greedy person. I like ancient and modern series, as long as its good, I’m up for a challenge.
Learning a lot from other great artists
Leila entered the industry at the age of 8. After giving a very good performance acting in Once a Thief, she continued to work with big stars such as Joey Wong and Leslie Cheung. Towards a young child star, it was a very good opportunity. Leila also said that working with these big stars influenced her a lot, giving her many unforgettable memories. They also set up examples for her own acting abilities, like when working with Leslie Cheung. He gave me a feeling that he shone, and did not have any of the attitudes some other stars had. I learned from him the most important point of being an actress, which is no matter what kind of artist you are you cannot be arrogant about it. This time working with Adam Cheung in Bar Benders is my second time working with him. He treats me very well; both times working with him I’ve acted as his daughter. The first time acting, I didn’t really understand what was going on, so I just went and acted with him. But he’s always treated me very well and takes care of me, like this time acting with him, he taught me like a daughter on how to act and how to act as a good lawyer. I’m very impressed that he can help us younger actors when he himself is so busy. Adam is a very hard working actor, and I learn a lot from him.
New Series Taking up the challenge as Shang Guan Wan Er(上官婉儿)
Just finished filming TVB series Greatness of a Hero (盛世人杰), Leila acts as one of the female Emperor’s (武则天) most important helpers Shang Guan Wan Er (上官婉儿), but often having good results acting in ancient series Leila said that there was a lot of challenge for this part. Because I don’t particularly like history, I had some knowledge of Wu Ze Tian, but I did not know a lot about Shang Guan Wan Er. So I went online to do some research as a last minute thing, I also went to buy a book about her to learn about the people during the time including the script. It was really hard, I often didn’t know what to do. I’m glad I’m done with the series; I can relax a little bit now and I hope I didn’t let the audiences down. The only thing that I was sad about was that although I am in the same series as my good friend Sonija, but we literally didn’t have any scenes together. If we did, then it was like only for a little bit. But I’m still very happy to be filming a series with her, I hope there will be chances in the future.
Excited to work with Bobby Au.
Leila will work with another TVB series, which is A Pillowcase of Mystery 2. Although she wasn’t in the first one, Leila is very happy to be in the sequel. Of course the most exciting thing is to be able to finally work with Bobby Au. Because she’s never had a chance to work with Bobby, she felt very honored to be a part of the cast. She hopes not to let everyone down in the upcoming series.

Leila Tong constantly exercising to prepare for new theatre show
Source: The Sun
Translated by: kingkongit27 @ http://asianeu.net/forums/
Yesterday Leila Tong spent time working out at the gym as she recently accepted a new theatre show. She had hired a fitness instructor to instruct her. Due to not exercising for many years, she felt a lot of muscular pain and had trouble getting out of bed.
Last year Leila appeared in the theatre show (爆谷殺人狂 ) and had an outstanding performance. This year she continues to act in theatre. In September she will play a legendary character but will not reveal who it will be. But she expressed that it will be very challenging “I can only say that this legendary character is well known. I find it very challenging, not only do I have to sing and dance but the most difficult part is having to wear a qipao (Chinese dress) all the time. Don’t think that I am very skinny, infact I have a a spare tire (excess weight around waist area). My management helped me get this role and encourages me to workout regularly as they are afraid my waist isn’t toned enough”.
Leila states that since last month she had been going to the gym everyday. Even when she’s at home she will not waste any time and carry on exercising.

Leila Tong loves video games
Leila Tong loves video games!
The cute and cheerful Leila Tong is actually very much like a boy. Every time she goes traveling she brings, not make up and accessories, but a bunch of electronic things. She laughs “I’m the exact opposite of my brother; he doesn’t even know how to work a video camera. I usually would rather go to computer stores instead of make-up stores.”
Using the camera to watch the world
“Although my picture taking skills aren't that great, but I really love to take pictures of the things around me. The most unforgettable time was when I went to Africa to film a series with Nick Cheung. We all had a camera with us, and competed for who had the best pictures.”
Bring notebook to see family
“I think white is a very pretty color. The Mac Book is very important to me. Every time I go away to film, I’ll always bring it so that I can talk to friends and family so they don’t have to worry.”
Wii Fit: Play and Exercise at the same time
“This game is very fun. You can play the hoola-hoop and other games. Because it’s done on screen you have to do a lot of stuff. Sometimes it’s a lot more fun to watch others do it when you do it yourself.”
NDS helps with work
“When filming, we often have to wait to start. When your bring your DS you wont get bored. Although there a lot of new games, but I still love the Mario Brothers. I’ve already beat the games like three times!”

Raymond Lam's ears turn red after hearing about Linda Chung
Source: TaKungPo
Translated by: Kat @ RaymondLam.org
Raymond Lam and Leila Tong were invited to Macau yesterday, to promote some whitening products for Clinque. Raymond also had to rush to film HOG 2, which will air during the Autumn Moon Festival. Even though there were several studios in TVB which had flu outbreaks, Raymond said he's lucky he wasn't the source, but still needed to take anti-biotics to improve his defences. He revealed that HOG 2 will air 20 episodes before the Olympics, and then continue airing after it. He believes this will not interrupt the momentum, rather it will keep the audiences longing for more, because there will be climaxes in every episode. It will be Mother's Day this Sunday, Raymond's mother returned to HK recently, even though he has to work that day, he will definitely take some time to have dinner with his mum and plans to give her a handbag as a gift.
Fighting against “easily red”
As for whitening, Raymond openly admits that he will look twice at girls who have white skin with redness shining through (think snow white!). Both eyes should have life and never have any dark circles, and long hair is a must have. For himself he has thin skin so his face goes red easily. When asked whether Moses Chan (who plays his brother in the series) gets easily red as well, he laughs and says Moses' face gets red unusually. Actually they're quite shy. About Moses' face goes red every time the reporters ask about rumoured girlfriend Bernice – Raymond says even if they don't talk about her, even thinking about it makes Moses' face go red. So will his face go red when asked about rumoured girlfriend Linda Chung? He fightingly said, “Just see whether my face goes red now? (Your ears are red!) My ears go red easily, his (Moses) face goes red.”
Leila was called “black girl”
When Leila was young she was called “black girl”, and during “Twin of Brothers” some people have criticised that they have never seen an angel (? her character anyway) so tanned. Plus in summer she likes to swim, so her skin will only turn lighter in winter. She is resting now after filming a series, so at home she's learning cooking skills from her mum. She would like to cook some home style Indonesian dishes for her mum on Mother's Day, plus some whitening products as her mum recently likes to plant vegetables outdoors, so mum and daughter can both have white skin. Also she was discovered wearing an ear pressure point patch, she said she got a cold and was coughing while filming, so she was referred to a Chinese medicine doctor. As the ear pressure point patch worked very well, when she got better she kept using it to maintain her health.

Leila Tong chases after her 2 crazy dogs
source: leilatong.com
translation by: mars123cc
Leila Tong has always had a huge loving and caring heart. Although she has four dogs in her house, but that has not made her a professional dog trainer. The other day when she was taking her big and little dogs out for a walk, two of them suddenly lost control, creating a huge scene with the little dog chasing the bigger one. Leila had to immediately start chasing the dogs while calling a friend for help.
Earlier Leila was dressed casually with her glasses driving her Audi to take her dogs for a walk in the park. Although Leila has already many years of experience with dogs, but two of her beloved dogs just wouldn’t listen. One of the big dogs got hyper in the car before even Leila stopped the car. While Leila was trying to park, it happily jumped in the front seat with its owner, causing Leila to spend 10 minutes to finally park the car. After getting of the car, her little dog was jumping all around while the big dog got grumpy and didn’t want to move. Including all the cars that were going in and out of the park, the small sized Leila had to be aware of the oncoming traffic while being stuck between two of her dogs.
Suddenly, Leila’s little dog started running towards the road, at the same time her big dog also started to “escape”. They became uncontrollable and started running all around. Leila didn’t care about onlookers’ views also running calling out her dogs’ names while calling a friend for help. After a while, her friend finally came to the rescue and helped Leila “catch” her dogs. Afterwards, Leila brought her dogs to her friend’s pet beauty salon to play for a while, but when she was playing with her dogs she accidently lost a sandal. To prevent another “dog chase”, Leila had to jump back like a chicken to get her sandal, but she lost her balance and tripped.
Leila told reporters that she will be out of the pet beauty salon after around thirty minutes. But she stayed for a total of three to four hours before she left! The manager of the store said that Leila often brings her dogs for beauty treatments while learning how to take care of dogs herself such as bathing them and brushing their hair, so Leila often times spends about 3-4 hours there. Store workers also said that Leila always intently listens to what they have to say, proving that she really loves her dogs.

Yesterday noon, Sammul Chan and Leila Tong arrived at Shanghai to promote their series
Yesterday, Sammul Chan and Leila Tong arrived at Shanghai for a promotion of their series, in between, they received massive welcome from their fans.

Yesterday noon, Sammul Chan and Leila Tong went to Shanghai with Yan Kuan to promote The Last Princess. When asked about their filming experience, Sammul Chan excitely said: "What I cant forget most is the kissing scene with Huo Si Yan, we had to film that scene from 6am to 11pm, a full day and my lips were getting numb." Sammul Chan, who had alot of kissing scene in the show, then praised the female actresses in the series: "This time, the female actresses I work with are very easy-going, thus we could communicate well during filming and enjoy the filming."
Leila Tong freezed while filming the scene where she fell into the water
What Leila Tong remember is the scene where she fell into the water. She said: "It was winter and this scene was taken at 12am, really freezing until I was like a human popsicle." Maybe it's because she had to withstand cold while filming, after the filming ended, Leila went for a tour in Thailand, and enjoy the beach and sun.
When taking a group photo, Sammul Chan, the joker, made some hand signs (like cow) and teased Leila, and at the end managed to get a laugh from the audiences. When the function ended, all the fans were reluctant to part with Sammul and Leila, and quickly asked for their autographs and pictures together, then crowded around their car to wave goodbye. At that time, Sammul Chan was continuing being a joker, and made a victory sign. On another location, Sun Xing and Xiao Wei from the same series were at the cultural centre on Xin Hua road and sharing their filming experiences with the audiences.

Leila Tong films her first MV
Leila Tong films her first MV
Leila Tong, who had just joined the mainland music industry, went to Beijing to film the MV of her 1st album, although the effect was really good, but the process was tedious for Leila. Other than filming under a weather of under -10 degrees, Leila still had to film from standing at a high angle, causing her to be so scared until her legs went numb and she could barely walk.
Although Leila Tong was normally very easy-going, but because she wanted to film an MV with good effects, she specially brought 3 'battle outfit' to Beijing, although all the 'battle outfits' are winter wear, but because it's of a slim cutting, Leila Tong cannot wear too many clothing under the outfit, thus it was really freezing to be filming under the weather of under -10 degrees. Leila said: "Although I have undergone freezing temperature during filming, but this is more tedious. Because the clothing is sticking to the skin, thus I cant even use a heating pad, because if I use, it can be seen. Thus when I film, I can only cling on, and the filming took 3 days, and only I know how tedious it is."
Nevertheless, because Leila's mother made tonic soup for her daily before her trip, thus she didn't fell sick from the 3 days of bitter-cold win, Leila tong praised that motherly love is the best.
Claimed to be abandon by her colleagues (crew)
Other than than, what Leila Tong couldn't forget was that, she had to climb a balcony, which is almost as high as 10 stories, to film the scene. Leila: "Actually when I was already very scared to climb that high, but what's the worst was that my colleagues (crew) actually abandoned me, die also don't want to accompany me, at the end only the photographer and I had to climb up, really die of shock. (I have phobia of height?) A little, when I film scenes from a height, I imagine myself filming on the ground, even though, every time I still felt my legs going a little numb and barely could walk."
