Linda Chung Acts 'In the Heart' (Seung Joi Sum) Recently, Heart of Greed is the town's hot topic. The storyline has reached a climax. However, the focal point of debates is on "Dai Kai" Lee See Kei and "Sai Kai" Susanna Kwan Guk Ying. The two of them are great promotional forces. In fact, the supporting role "Seung Joi Sum" (Linda Chung Ka Yan) also captures the spotlight, secretly gaining young fans' support! Regarding the audience's gripping interest in "Dai Kai" and "Sai Kai," Linda happily says it is a good thing. She says it really engages her into the storyline: "Although I'm not related with the Tong family and didn't have any scenes with Sister Sei Kei, I really love watching them argue. The most profound moment was when Sister See Kei was in the hospital and yelled at Tavia Yeung Yi; it was very eye-catching. Linda loves the name "Seung Joi Sum" and when she's out in the streets, people will also call her by that name. This makes her unable to deny that TVB's charm on the audience is really strong. Linda has entered the entertainment industry for just three years. Her greatest concern isn't about her own appearance, but rather it is the audience's extreme criticism of her acting. Linda says, "I love going on the Internet and reading people's comments because I can see what people really think of me. At first, there were people who said I wasn't pretty, that I was ugly. I wasn't angry. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I won't put too much thought into things that can't be changed. What I mind most is people saying that my performance is not good. That's why I had to prove to everyone that 'they were wrong about me'." Last year, Linda won "Most Improved Actress" and a bunch of negative press along with it. She strongly persevered through it. Now, Linda receives heartfelt praises from the audience for her improved performance in Heart. Linda's smile is really from the heart. The good news is that Linda hasn't let the mean messages on the Internet strike her down; otherwise we wouldn't be able to see her on the television screen again this year! She laughingly says, "After the pageant, I told myself that I'd give three years time for development in the entertainment industry. Whether or not I was successful, I'd go back to Vancouver to continue my studies... It turns out that right now it's been three years and two months. The day I realized this, I thought, 'Crap! I'm still here?'" Linda cannot deny that her formerly settled 'three years then out' thought has changed in the midst of it all. It's all because she thought the industry is too alluring, so after her heart has played enough, she'd return home. Only after three years did she discover her own surprising talents and interest. The reporter cannot restrain and asks her at this moment how many years she has given herself. With an easy smile, Linda says, "Once again three years! During this time, I might already have married and started a family or I might turn around and become a singer. In the meantime, I'll 'keep' 24 hours and earnestly do my job." Linda is a very easy girl to get along with. No matter the topic, she can engage in conversation. Being in the industry for some years, her close friends are as follow: Winnie Shum Wing Ting, Shirley Yeung Sze Kei, Tavia... Ah! Unexpectedly, she doesn't even have one male friend. Is it because she's afraid of rumors? She says, "Truthfully speaking, I really don't have any. It's not because I'm scared of the rumors. Unless you have something to hide, if you're out-right and righteous, what's there to be afraid of? I think that boys in the industry are too complicated." She admits that during these short years, there has been a guy who has appeared who has met her affections. However, she says, "Thinking about it, there has to be, but I know that after work, the feeling would be gone. I understand it's not real." There are almost ten male artists that have been linked with Linda in the past. Whether or not it's real, only those involved know. She thinks that "not answering" and "no comment," these kinds of predictable answers are for news reporters to hand in something. In the future, surely, Linda will have the chance to be in even more papers. However, she still finds it annoying because it's all fabricated. She might as well just deny it. "Say no" should be the best answer. ----------------------------------------
