The past few weeks haven’t been very kind to Selena Li (李施嬅). Not only is the media pitting her against Sisley Choi (蔡思貝) due to the “female lead crisis” rumor, but Selena also suffered a pretty big blow from Brexit—the British exit from the European Union. In an off-stage interview to promote Presumed Accidents <純熟意外> last weekend, Selena was bombarded with questions about the gossip surrounding her and Sisley Choi, which claimed that the two of them couldn’t get along due to Sisley snagging the female lead role away from Selena, her senior of ten years. Selena said she was upset—but not because of her rumor with Sisley. After the Brexit decision, the British pound sterling crashed to its lowest level in over 30 years, and Selena, who had invested a six-figure sum on UK stocks, lost a lot of money. “I had purchased some British stocks and blue chips,” shared Selena. “I’ve always been careful in my investments, but I wasn’t expecting this to happen. The stocks are dropping rapidly. Right now, my only hope is to move ahead in my career. I also purchased an off-plan property in Canada, but the Canadian dollar is falling as well. Investing has been quite strenuous for me.” After the TVB event, Selena said she and a few of her friends will donate blood, hoping to bring some positive energy back in. To prevent the “female lead crisis” to happen again, Selena was asked if she would be more selective in her drama offers. She said, “Many people like to think that I don’t care about filming dramas and that I just want to enjoy life, but that’s not true. Since my debut, I’ve never turned down a single drama. I hope I’ll get more opportunities in the future.” She added that she is currently in discussions for another upcoming TVB drama. “Actors are very passive. If the company offers us a drama, we usually do not turn it down,” she clarified. Creds: ihktv
Those Poms/Brits are so stupid (they were warned their economy will take a massive hit if they decide to exit from the EU). Selena should look on the bright side . Lee Ka Shing is the biggrst Brexit loser in HK. His two UK companies have lost nearly a billion dollars
What happened in UK can happen in the USA as well, if you don't vote, those idiots will win... Can't believe those UK voters would think it's better to leave the EU. They are regretting it now.
Yeah I'm all for Selena, hope they give her some real good leading roles! Selena is not only sexy, but she's very smart, so I'm sure she'll recover from this.
I think she's a smart girl, she has her own business outside of the entertainment business and invests. While Brexit affected a lot of people, I doubt investing in the pound was the only investment Selena made. I believe she diversified her portfolios like others would. It's just a guess, but I doubt she would put all her eggs in one basket
Leaving the EU would actually preserve and save the UK. This event set in motion the disbanding of the Euro and the EU. Selena is an attention seeker and its understandable when and if she gets front run by someone like Sisley. But honestly, how and why would you peg a rumor on investments? Makes no sense to even disclose it to the press. Hearing this is a first for me. Those who voted to leave actually understand why Britain needed to leave.
Man u so full of sh!ts!!!!!!!! Millions of individuals have now signed an online petition, arguing that there should be a second referendum vote when “the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based on a turnout less than 75%“. If the UK leaves the EU, it would have to negotiates to keep access to Europe’s single market to soften the economic blow. If it were to do this, it would have to contribute to the EU budget and allow free movement of labour within Europe, which would defy one of the major reasons for them wanting to leave in the first place. Nonetheless, many individuals would likely agree to this after realising just how severely leaving the EU could impact their economy.
