Thursday 10 May, 2007 Hong Kong Kevin Cheng and Linda Chung were guests at the opening of an optical shop yesterday and also in attendance was supermodel Xiong Dailin. Kevin reveals that in his new series in june, he will have to cut his hair to play a prisoner and he will be working with Roger Kwok and Yoyo Mung. Kevin says that that he has been watching "Prison Break" to research his character in the show. As for cutting his hair, he says that he does not mind because seven years ago he shaved off all his hair for a Qing costume drama in Taiwan. As for the reports that ATV are offering huge amounts of money to attract Charmaine Sheh, Kevin says that he has not been the target of the headhunters because he has just renewed his contract with TVB last year and it is quite a lengthy one, but it is not quite as long as Bosco Wong, who has been rumoured to have signed until 2017. Kevin says: "Most of us salaried management contracted artistes have long contracts, so we will not be targeted by the other companies." Linda will be working on two series shortly, one of which will be working alongside Steven Ma in "Forensic Heroes 2". Although she has worked with Steven before in her first series "Virtues of Harmony", she hopes that they will create sparks again. Her character will be a streetgirl who sells phones in Mongkok, so she will have to learn how to portray the drinking and partying ways as well as being sexually promiscuous. For her research, she has been down to Sincere House in Mongkok to look around, but the locals called out her character's name from "Heart of Greed" - Sheung Joi Sum. Asked if she is worried that playing this role will hurt her image, she believes that the viewers will be clear on this and will not mind her playing villains or bad girls. credits: tvbspace, asianfanatics.
