Karena Ng (吳千語) and Raymond Lam’s (林峯) relationship often headlines tabloid reports. Apart from their 14-year gap, the couple also has a large disparity in their careers. While Raymond is successful in television, film, and music, Karena’s movies have largely flopped at the box office. Signing with Raymond Wong Pak Ming‘s (黃百鳴) Pegasus Entertainment for an 11-year contract, 21-year-old Karena starred in numerous films over the last four years. While the majority were supporting roles, Karena did lead in Fighting Angels <青春鬥> opposite Jeremy Tsui (徐正曦) and Alex Lam (林德信). However, the movie earned a meager $204,000 HKD at the box office. Baby Blues 3D <詭嬰> pulled slightly higher box office sales at $699,000 HKD. With her films performing poorly, Karena seems to be on her way to replace Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝) as box office poison. Even Raymond Lam admitted to not having watched Karena’s movies! However, Raymond remained supportive of his girlfriend. “I believe that the only thing an actor can take responsibility for is to portray the role well. As her boyfriend, I’ve witnessed how she is with work and her acting skills. It is important to pay close attention and to rehearse a lot. The most important thing for an actor is to continuously improve his/her acting skills.” Creds: ihktv
