She is also working with 'TV King' Wayne Lai. She praises her colleagues in the new company to be very lively, and she has became good friends with Maggie Cheung and Joyce Tang. After joining TVB, Elena's opportunities have been endless. It hasn't been a year, yet she has filmed many series; such as, "The Season of Fate", "Suspects in Love", "Gun Metal Grey", "Only You", and "Women Hurt the Most". Recently, she is collaborating with 'TV King' Wayne Lai and 'TV Queen' Sheren Tang in "Righteous Sea of Heroic Love". Elena is grateful to TVB for giving her opportunities. She said, "People here take their work seriously, and this is what people who love to film series like to see. There is a difference between everyone working hard to do something, and everyone loafing around to do something. It is very satisfying". Meet Up to Eat to Maintain Contact In "Righteous Sea of Heroic Love", Elena will play Wayne's wife. Elena said frankly that this is her third time playing Wayne's wife. She said, "I played his wife in the series 'Su Dongpo' and in a movie, so this is the third time [playing his wife]!" (Is he any different since he is now 'TV King'?) "No, his acting has always been good, and it is now even better. He even encouraged me work hard to play the character. Since the prequel was such a success, the audience will look out for the sequel". When she was asked which series did she film the happiest? Elena said, "They're all very happy, but I think "Women Hurt the Most" is the most rarest. No gossip came out from working with a bunch of women. My relationship with Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yim, and Joyce Tang is very good. We buy four shares of everything, and took care of each other during the filming. The series has finished filming, but we still meet up to eat to keep in contact. So it is very good".
A really top notch actress. Another ATV artist jumping the sinking (or is it fully sunk now?) ship. There has been a big influx of them lately @ TVB since there is virtually no original series productions going on over @ ATV. Even the latest one got canceled b4 it even had a script and the ones that are completed are in limbo (which I'm dying to see!) like the law drama with Amy Chan and Lawrence Ng and Mainland produced one with Chilam and Ada Choi. But back to Elena, I'm familiar with mostly her villain roles @ ATV like in Legend: A Dream Named Desire and Light of Million Hopes and she really blew me away. It's nice to see that TVB isn't discriminating against her about the fact that she used to work @ a rival station and giving her a good workload, although would she ever reach first line/main star status is a whole other question. Some ATV actors that cross over don't get very lucky.
She's great and yes, she's probably has more oppt over at tvb but the company ain't all that great anyway. tvb is going down soon enough ..
