[News/Pics/Clip] Linda Chung praises Ruco Chan as a good swimmer

(video credit: kaka bu@youtube)

Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) and Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) were preparing a water scene in Sai Kung Town and had to perform a CPR scene which was very romantic. As the temperature was 11 degrees celsius, they ate some chocolates to keep themselves warm before going down to the water. Linda jokingly said that she was very full and worried her stomach might feel bloated. She even bought herself a diver's suit specially for this scene.

When speaking about the water scene , Linda jokingly mentioned that compared to the earlier series, Tiger Cubs II (飛虎II) which she acted, it was less frightening this time. She then said "This is the first time I perform CPR in the water." Also, Linda praised Ruco for having good swimming skills and said "He swims very well like a crocodile." (Did you tell your rumoured boyfriend that you will be filming a CPR scene?) Nope, I am a big girl now and have been in this industry for 10 years."

As for Ruco, he bought a few thousands dollars of diver suit as well and said "I have to jump into water well, lake, sea and swimming pool this time and four water scenes. This is my first time to shoot a scene in the swimming pool and I am looking forward to it. (Feel very happy performing CPR with Linda?) No. I love the sceneries as it is beautiful. (Afraid of Linda's rumoured boyfriend's jealousy?) Why should I be afraid? It does not bother me as we are artiste and this is not the first time acting together. (Any rapport?) Of course and I have nothing to hide."

When asked about the mystery theft incident of Linda losing around $3,000 cash and if he consoled her, Ruco smilingly said "It is better not to bring it up in front of her and remind her of the sorrow."

[News/function] Linda Chung Mysterious Loss of $3500, Two "Boyfriends" Comfort Her

Thoughts: Finally some news on Linda, even though it's quite unfortunate that she lost her money :/

(Ruco's caption (made up): Who dares to mess with my 'girlfriend'? // Philip's caption (made up): Dare bully my LindaBB...did you ask my fist first?)

Recently Linda Chung has been busy filming TVB new series The Great Pharmacist with Ruco Chan. Earlier during the Lunar New Year, Linda went to the ATM to withdraw HK$6,000 to prepare to treat everyone pizza, but after she paid for the bill she discovered a mysterious loss of money. Last night, she was carefully dressed for a Welcoming the Year of the Horse event along with the other guest performers Ron Ng and Becky Lee. When speaking of the mysterious loss, Linda explained: "That day bought everyone pizza and the bill came out to be some HK$2,000, then I didn't really use much money in the next few days, but one day when I was paying at the supermarket, I opened my wallet and discovered there was only $150 left!"

Linda was still puzzled as she continued: "I suspected someone stole it, but then again I'm not sure if it was just me being clumsy and dropped it. After all, my wallet is always placed in this work box that I carry around. (Didn't call the police?) At the time, I was still filming outdoors, Just have to treat it as a loss to prevent a disaster. Its a lesson learned. (Did you think a colleague might be the culprit?) No, I wasn't unhappy either, I just told myself to be more careful next time. Of course I should be responsible for my own things and should not go and doubt others. From now on, I'll give my valuables to my assistant to take care of."

As Linda's boyfriend, Philip Ng, accepted a telephone interview and expressed: "She told me before. I asked her to look carefully first. If she can't find it, then that's okay too because she can earn it all back later. (Buy her a gift to cheer her up?) Not necessary, actually Linda is a careful person. She is responsible for everything she does." As for Linda's co-star from The Great Pharmacist and rumored boyfriend, Ruco Chan, he expressed: "I didn't know! Not sure. (Tell her to be more careful?) She has an assistant! Actually I sometimes leave my wallet on the TVB minibus too, I should be more careful myself. Its hard to get back the money you lost. Just have to treat it as a loss to prevent a disaster. (Worried a colleague might be a thief?) No, I have confidence in my colleagues' personal integrity. Lately I have been named the 'King of Forgetting' because I'm always forgetting where I put things. I think its time I hire an assistant myself."

Ron Ng Hasn't Been on Vacation for 10 Years

Ron Ng was very well welcomed at the event, he disclosed to the media that he just got back from a trip to Malaysia and had a great vacation with friends. Asked if any of the friends he went with have possibilities of developing their relationship further? He said: "No, they are all friends I've known for many years. This time, I went on a vacation with friends and family to recharge. Its been 10 years since I've officially gone on vacation." Becky Lee had just completed her first solo concert, and disclosed she will work even harder to earn extra income from stage performances. She also claimed she's still single: "I'm working hard to save up for my 'single lady' savings, so I can buy myself a 'single lady' house."

LoveLoveLove Concert 2013 - Video Clips PART 2 (Duets)

While checking up on the old posts of Linda's LoveLoveLove Concert, most clips were deleted from youtube and so I decided to upload some of them up again. Aside from the youtube videos that are directly linked from their original uploader, I 'backed' them up onto blogger as well (that way if the youtube ones were to be deleted, the videos won't be lost).

Kelly Chen's Speech with Linda (video credit c Kwok)

Kelly: Aw, stop crying. I didn’t do much this success is all because of your efforts.
Linda: Thank you!
Kelly: This entire thing is all your efforts, silly girl.
Linda: I’m really happy.
Kelly: Linda BB don’t cry, mommy will give you a kiss.

Kelly: In the past, once we arrive as the judges for the beauty pageant; we would first go to the press conference and all of you beautiful contestants would be on stage. And before we could even take a nice look at you beautiful ladies, the paparazzi would come and ask us “Who do you like?”, “Who do you have in mind?” I knew this was going to happen, so at first I took a good look. Then all of a sudden “ding” the spotlight shines on Linda BB. It’s so obvious isn’t it? And that’s when they said your name, and hasn’t that name help you along your way?

Linda: It honestly helped me a lot.

Kelly: Obviously with my 0.99 of a second when you caught my attention, it proved to me that got a great eye. But with all the success you have now was all done by yourself, don’t you agree? I mean look at all this effort put into it and attitude of wanting to improve yourself everyday right? And most importantly talent; thank you very much.

[News] Steven Ma New Song & MV with Fala Chen, Hopes to Shoot MVs with Tavia Yeung & Linda Chung

Thoughts: Hopefully Linda will get the chance to film teh MV with Steven!!! I miss seeing Stevinda Q.Q

Yesterday Steven Ma, Tavia Yeung, Maggie Siu, Cilla Lok, Katy Kung and the rest of the cast of TVB new series Storm in a Cocoon attended the promotional event held at an organic farm in Tuen Mun. It has already been two years since Steven appeared in a TVB series, asked whether he's worried he might break his "TV Rating Lucky Star" image and whether he had confidence in the series? He said: "The TV rating trends had changed in the recent years. Before when a new series premieres, the rating would be at least 30 points, but now I feel a little pressured!" When speaking of his new song releasing on the music charts in March, Steven expressed he invited Fala Chen for the duet and she'll be the female lead in the MV. He personally produced and directed the MV. He said: "For my other two songs, I hope to invite Tavia Yeung and Linda Chung to be the female leads in the MV! (Kiss scenes?) Maybe! (Afraid people might say you're taking a 'public device' for personal use?) At most people may say it's incest! Everyone knows they're my sisters!"

鍾嘉欣入行至今，一直循規蹈矩，按部就班，唯獨在情感世界上她堅持不予交代。她認為藝人也不過是個受薪打工仔，合約上沒有表明要交代私人感情事，她只想打好這份工；她感激上天安排她加入了娛樂圈，令她成長，溫室的小花逐漸結出成熟的果實！

28歲的鍾嘉欣（Linda），外表斯文，形象健康，有時候甚至覺得她純得不太適合複雜的娛樂圈。在加拿大溫哥華長大的她，19歲來港參選華姐，從未離開過家，一度以為香港是個黑社會地方，後順理成章加入娛樂圈，首個角色是代替廖碧兒《皆大歡喜》內的公主。那時候公司安排她與李亞男在將軍澳一個四百呎單位內同居，到現在二人仍然是好朋友。

這八年來，Linda演過的角色多不勝數，但總離不開乖乖女形象，她說：「我聽到咁樣，會有啲唔開心，如果觀眾一直對我嘅感覺都係乖乖女，即係話我仲未成功；其實我演過60歲80歲嘅老人家、卡通化可愛活潑、律師、對性好開放嘅壞女孩、警察、旺角wet妹，基本上醜、老、壞同乖嘅角色我都做過，所以真係唔想人哋只記得我係一個乖乖女！（咁多角色都演過，下一個目標係視后？）冇諗過，只要大家記得我拍過好多個角色，我已經好滿足！」

"發誓" ("Swear") - Lyrics Translation

Composer: Tang Chi Wai

Lyrics: Chen Shih-Hui

發誓從此 絕無兒戲
讓愛戀隨心細味
餘生愛著你
如死怕忘記 共誰入戲 

Swear from now on, will not be so immature
Let love go along with a careful taste
Loving you with the remaining times
When death comes, afraid to forget who was in the play 

從未到訪過夢內
不過心事仍好裝載
還未置身這事外
換來漫天塵埃
難道有害 何以不再
全意栽花仍不開
他朝養份再多不過無力愛仍熱切在期待 

Never entered a dream before
However the concerns are still loaded
Still haven't placed oneself out of the matter
In exchange of dust everywhere
Unless there is harm, why not again
Faithfully grew flowers, yet wouldn't bloom
One day, treatment too much but have no power, yet still love and still waiting 

發誓從此 絕無兒戲
令我堅守 也全是你
因 這段情 告別明日痛悲
而你是情深亦無人比
讓愛戀隨心細味
明知愛著你
難得再共你 是誰造美 

(Swear from now on, will not be so immature
What make a me persevere is you
Because this love story, saying farewell to the sorrows of tomorrow
But you are affectionate, without a comparison)
Let love go along with a careful taste
Knowing still loving you
Rarely with you again, who is making this beauty 

如若咖啡太乏味
苦澀甘願嚐得淒美
其實你早已預備
感覺曾經垂死
從未怯避 連你雙臂
全意張開來高飛
即使最後你竟撐到無力氣仍願意沒逃避 

If the coffee is too bland
The bitter and the astringent, willing to taste the sadness
Actually you already prepared
Feeling once died
Never tried to hide, linking your two arms
Faithfully soar out and fly high
Even if you supported until no power, but still don't want to evade 

發誓從此 絕沒兒戲
令我堅守 也全是你
因 這段情 告別明日痛悲
而你是情深亦無人比
讓愛戀隨心細味
餘生愛著你
如死怕忘記　　共誰入戲 

(Swear from now on, will not be so immature
What make a me persevere is you
Because this love story, saying farewell to the sorrows of tomorrow
But you are affectionate, without a comparison)
Let love go along with a careful taste
Knowing still loving you
When death comes, afraid to forget who was in the play

[News/Promotional Event] "A Time Of Love" Mini Movie Premiere Event

Yesterday Charmaine Sheh, Kenneth Ma, Linda Chung, Kate Tsui, Yeon Jung Hoon, James Wen, Chris Tong, 6 Wing, Wong Cho Lam, Ben Wong and Ikehata Reina attended the premiere of TVB mini movie A Time Of Love. Kate and James are in the Malaysia chapter, Kate expressed she had great chemistry with James while they rehearsed the script and looks forward to their next collaboration. Asked if they had any memorable moments? James smiled and said it was very tiring because they were filming 8-12 hours each day which consumed a lot of his physical strength. Kate expressed there was a scene where she got her memory back and went sobbing to the train station to find James, she said: "That day we had to wait for the last train departure before we could start filming, so if I missed it, I would have to wait until the next day. For this scene, I had to be crying while banging on the train. I remember scaring the real passengers."

In the trailer of the Singapore chapter, Charmaine was seen opening fire with a gun, but she later explained because the scene was about how she broke up with her boyfriend and she imagined killing him, so it was a little exaggerated. Kenneth added: "When I got the script, I thought this was a romantic film, but now I don't know how it turned into a suspenseful film? But the story is actually quite interesting."

Chris Tong finds Kenneth Tall, Skinny & Attractive

Chris Tong will be involved in a love triangle with Kenneth and Charmaine. She praised her two co-stars with fluent Cantonese. She expressed the two are her idols, but she recalled when she first met Charmaine, she was really scared: "Because Charmaine is a Big Sister, and since she's my love rival in the series, she was really rude and had a murderous expression. Of course, she isn't rude/mean in real life though, it is just I felt pressure working with her. I thought Kenneth added a lot of his own style into the character, it feels very comfortable working with him. He's very cute." There was one scene Chris shook hands with Kenneth, she said he gave her a hard handshake. "I even told him not to use so much strength because my fatty parts will start moving. (He's the seun poon in HK, did he electrify you?) Well in Asia, he's considered a seun poon too. In person, he's really tall, skinny and attractive. (Do you want this seun poon?) Haha, he's a seun poon. I don't think I'll get my turn." Chris expressed she has a long time boyfriend, who is not in the industry.

Linda Addresses Yeon Jung Hoon Intimately "Fun Fun"

Linda and Korean actor Yeon Jung Hoon are in the Korea chapter. Linda disclosed on stage when she first arrived in Korea, she immediately went out to dinner with Yeon and crew to get to know them more. At the dinner, she found out their language barrier vanished because Yeon knew English. Linda even addressed Yeon as "Fun Fun" (part of his Chinese name), the MC teased and asked whether Yeon liked Hong Kong girls? Linda responded for him: "He already has a very beautiful wife."

Linda expressed she learned the professional spirit from the Korean artists and praised their acting is very natural. There were many scenes they completed in one take. Asked if she learned Korean too? Linda laughed: "I learned a curse word, it is a vulgar way to describe a bad person. (Yeon taught you?) No, that scene was about me yelling to vent out my anger."

When speaking of Linda addressing Yeon as "Fun Fun", does Yeon know what she said? Linda asked Yeon the same question in English, he expressed it felt very good and familiar because Koreans usually address one another by their full names. Asked whether his wife had any jealousy that Linda BB is addressing him so intimately? Yeon laughed: "No, my wife is open and not that sensitive. Koreans have a lot of respect for their seniors and strong views on social class, therefore they don't address one another too close, so this feels quite refreshing." Linda expressed the most intimate scene she had with Yeon was when she fed him fishballs and when they went ice skating romantically.
