Kristal Tin Unsatisfied With Constant Supporting Roles at TVB

​

Kristal Tin (田蕊妮) is apparently unhappy about her supporting actress status and is fighting hard for more screen time.

Kristal first made her debut in the entertainment industry in 1993 when she won first place in a singing competition organized by ATV. Afterwards she joined the company as a management artist and became one of the valuable players in the company with her consistent performance. At the end of 2006, Kristal left ATV and continued to pursue her acting career at TVB. Although she enjoys steady work at her new station, Kristal was frequently put into supporting roles and was often overshadowed by popular idol actresses.

A recent report alleged that Kristal is upset at her stalled career progress at TVB. Earlier rumors claimed that Kristal was angry while filming Blades of Justice <舌劍上的公堂> because Priscilla Wong (黃翠如), who is heavily promoted by the company, was suddenly given more screen time and more focus in the plot.

Similarly, Kristal threw a tantrum while filming Brother’s Keeper <巨輪> because Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) appears more frequently in the drama. While she knew that she would be playing a supporting role in the series, Kristal was taken by surprise when she found out that TVB had plans to use Brother’s Keeper as a vehicle to promote Linda Chung to TV Queen status.

Later, when Kristal discovered that she has no scene at all in one of the episodes, Kristal immediately marched into director Amy Wong’s (王心慰) office to demand an explanation. As a compromise, Director Wong ultimately agreed to grant Kristal her wish, giving her a starring role in the upcoming modern thriller Semi Evil Man <忠奸人>.
