Due to TVB’s inability to retain leading artists, such as Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) and Bernice Liu (廖碧兒), in recent years, the company has been diligently recruiting “new blood” to feature in upcoming dramas. Aside from starring former ATV artists such as Alice Chan (陳煒) and Joey Meng (萬綺雯) in upcoming dramas, TVB was interested in pursuing Chrissie Chau (周秀娜), Janice Man (文詠珊), and Annie Liu (劉心悠) as well! The lack of current TVB fadans was especially dire, as recent dramas often featured the same faces of Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), Kate Tsui (徐子珊), Tavia Yeung (楊怡), Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) and Fala Chen (陳法拉). In addition, current popular TVB artists often wished to film in mainland China to earn more money, which benefited TVB in commissions as well. City Telecom’s hiring of former TVB talent made the staffing shortage even more dire. TVB producer Lee Tim Shing (李添勝) declared earlier that he had no actress to lead his new drama, Detective Columbo <神探哥倫布>, due to the current staffing situation. Starring in Tim Gor’s new drama, Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) had suggested that the company cast Chrissie Chau. While Tim Gor did not offer Chrissie a role in Detective Columbo, other TVB managers were eager to work with her. Chrissie’s manager stated, “We are looking at Chrissie’s availability this year. If the timing and the script are good, we are truly interested!” Chrissie was a successful model turned actress, appearing in Hong Kong movies and mainland China dramas in recent years, as well as launching her own lingerie brand. Annie Liu’s popularity increased in mainland China after last year’s airing of Bu Bu Jing Xin <步步惊心>. Annie was contacted by TVB earlier to appear in Ghetto Justice 2 <怒火街頭 2>. Annie’s manager, Ms. Lee, stated, “We have always possessed the interest. If we come across a good script and the time works out, Annie will film for TVB.” Since the filming of Bottled Passion <我的如意狼君>, it was rumored that TVB was interested in making Niki Chow (周麗淇) a “biological daughter.” Niki possessed good affinity with the audience, bringing high ratings for the her dramas. Asked whether TVB wished to sign a management contract with her, Niki said, “Wah! Such a high level management secret, I cannot reveal it!” Creds: Apple Daily/ihktv/Jstars
I don't care much for Chrissie, it'll be interesting but I'm more in favorite of Janice Man and Annie Liu

its the best time to try to get her lol shes not a first line actress yet because she is still young.
ANNIE FTW!!!!!! She's the hottest one outta them all!!!!!!! i'm actually glad tvb is going towards this route...recruiting new pplz......i'm just sick and tired of the actors/actresses they have nowadays...time for a change...

I'm more excited for Joey Meng but I don't mind seeing Janice Man and Chrissie though they both cannot act and Chrissie has an annoying voice lol
omg Janice!! lol Chrissie is not bad either and Annie is purrrdyy. But Janice is my fave for sure. These chicks are such a step up from the usuals we see on TVB. Myolie uke:
I think everyone agrees that TVB needs new actors and actresses, whether they are noobs or outside of TVB. They need new blood for their dramas. It's getting so boring watching the same faces over and over again and again... For these girls, money might not be the best but it's a good opportunity to get some more fame and popularity, along with some more experiences in TV productions with the top TV station in HK. This thread is moving fast...>>>>>>>>>>
besides having boobs, chrissie isn't worth to watch at all.. poor acting and she isn't pretty actually.. also her voice is as heavy as a man's x_X
Janice Man has a cheap trash look. Anny Liu has the snobby one. Chrissy Chau has a dorky, only because of my bust look too. Who is Anny liu though? she looks koay
^ +1 saw here in HK at some shops doing an ad photo shoot... gotta say she does not impress... at all
