    TVB's new series, "Silver Mansion Golden Dust" held its costume fitting yesterday. In attendance were Nancy Sit Ka Yin, Shirley Yeung Si Kei, Paul Chun Pui, Ng Wai Kwok, Christine Ng Wing Mei, Rebecca Chan Sau Chu, Nancy Wu Ding Yan etc.

    In the series, Paul Chun will have 4 wives, who will be played by Nancy Sit, Rebecca Chan, Christine Ng, and Nancy Wu. In the series, Paul will be surrounded by numerous women. He laughed and said, "In real life, it is impossible to even have 4 girlfriends! How can one man have 4 wives? If all of them loved to play mahjong, then perhaps there will not be family arguments everyday!"

    Nancy will be leaving behind her past cheerful image to play Paul's authoritative first wife. However, she will not be scolding other characters that frequently. Nancy said she was happy to film with Shirley Yeung again. "We worked together in 2001's 'Loving You.' Shirley has shown immense improvement in her acting over the last few years. I also thought she was quite talented in her dance performance in 《舞動奇跡》. Many artists possess various talents, but the most important thing is their hard working ability."

    Nancy also assured Shirley that she was never "frozen" by TVB. Nancy pointed out that she did not film TVB series for 2 years as well. Shirley was happy when she overheard Nancy's praise towards her.

    In "Silver Mansion Golden Dust," Shirley will act as a maid, a role which she never played in the past. Her character's background will be pitiful.
    After being "unfrozen" by TVB, did Shirley feel demoted by being cast as maid? Shirley said, "An artist should try various roles. Playing a character in a low social status role is a new experience. I don't mind and I wish to try acting in an 'ugly' role as well."
