Rebecca Zhu replaces Fala Chen for TVB grand production 'The Prominent Family'

Fala Chen is experiencing some issues with her trigeminal nerves and because she fears her condition may worsen, she decided to take off next month (December) to seek treatment in the US. Because of this, she helplessly withdrew from TVB grand production series The Prominent Family. TVB is urgently looking for a replacement, it was said Fala's role is already decided for this year's Miss Hong Kong winner Rebecca Zhu. TVB Production Director Tommy Leung admitted: "Although Rebecca Zhu is a newcomer, but she is already quite comfortable with acting. (Is the decision related to Rebecca having some resemblance to Fala?) A little! But it is mainly because she has suitable qualities for the role. This series is set in the 1920-1930s era."

Rebecca can be considered to be the representative of the many Miss HK. Not long after she received the title, she got to be in a movie and now she even has the opportunity to be one of the lead actresses in a TV series. She will have the chance to compete with Tavia Yeung in acting skills, so she definitely did not mind picking up a 'second hand'. "TVB gave me so many opportunities, I am very grateful and happy. I will put in my greatest effort and cherish. As a newcomer, there is definitely pressure, but I just met with Tavia Yeung, we chatted and she's a very nice person. I believe with the others watching over me, it should be okay."

wow, she must be doing something with the higher ups......u see, many older extras can act also, and they never get that chance to rise....... Altho, it's understood that she's the winner of miss HK, getting such roles usually takes years.........again, she must be banging the higher ups or something.....dont get me wrong tho, no hate.... i think she's pretty and kinda smart, in terms of speaking... As a matter of fact, i'm actually excited....it doesnt hurt to try new people....
