Thursday March 1, 2007 Hong Kong Rumors Fly Onset Between Gigi Lai & Maggie Shiu Caption: Before filming, Gigi Lai and Maggie Shiu have nothing to say to each other. But when the cameras roll, they appear very friendly onscreen. Produced by Jonathan Chik Kei Yi, TVB's new 80 episode series, "Jewel's Splendor" has attracted numerous rumors since the onset of filming. Filming has been a modern re-enactment of "War and Beauty," with rumors of cast members not getting along, fighting for extra screen time, and assuming diva-like attitudes. Although Gigi Lai Chi arrived late onset for filming earlier, she was defended by TVB executives. Yesterday, Gigi, Maggie Shiu Mei Kei, Eddie Kwan Lai Kit, and Kenny Wong were filming scenes in Happy Valley. In pursuit of Gigi's character, Eddie (who plays a newspaper vendor) borrowed wealthy friend, Kenny's car to impress Gigi. Attending their first date, Gigi also brought along her elder sister, Maggie. Since the filming took place on a crowded street, numerous pedestrians gathered to watch the scene. Between takes, Gigi wore a large overcoat and seemed to protect herself from overexposure due to the presence of the large crowd. Gigi appeared to be tired with heavy eyebags. When she discovered reporters taking photos of her, she turned away and boarded her asistant's car to reapply her make-up, making the rest of the crew wait for her. Before the cameras rolled, Gigi and Maggie did not have much to say to each other. Gigi bent her head and stared at her fingernails. But once filming started, they "bonded" onscreen to play their characters believably. Apparently after the scene was completed, Gigi complained that the scene portrayed her from an unflattering angle and requested re-filming. After 3 takes, Gigi still was unsatisfied, making Maggie smile coolly, while Eddie Kwan grimaced. To pacify the situation, the director filmed from another angle. Due to this reshuffling, filming took an extra hour to complete. credits: Dramasian, asianfanatics.
