Susanna Kwan and Kate Tsui are both artistes from different generations, but earlier they bumped into each other in a series playing as mother and daughter, both playing villain roles. Their acting has been praised by audiences, the two say that they don't mind being villains again, and indicated that audiences are very smart, as they know how to distinguish. Towards audience fate, they said that it must match with the weather, favorable setting, no fighting and cannot force it. Current Generation Series fans are smart Earlier Susanna and Kate played the roles "Sa Yi" and "Ka Mei" respectively and has been engraved in peoples hearts. They both admitted that acting out the characters were difficult and that the characters were very hated by everyone, but don't mind to play the role again. Susanna said: "Earlier everyone said that I really got into character and asked me how I remembered my lines, can be so evil! Ha Ha, actually I'm very fortunate to be playing this role at this time because audience knows how to distinguish between reality and acting, even the elderly knows that I'm only acting. It's not the same as before when your a Crown Prince, you'll be a Crown Prince for the rest of your life. But during filming, there was some stress because I never done this before, when I was watching the playbacks I felt that I didn't do enough, so I did the scene again in front of the mirror. If I need to play this role again, I don't mind as long as its a different style, otherwise there won't be any challenges, no breakthrough." As for Kate she said: "Acting development is hard because I need to force myself to believe that I'm Ka Mei, I need to be a bad girl to the max. If I had to act this again, I don't mind, earlier in 'The Four' I was also a villain. The producer felt that me being a villain is a good thing. Before, the roles I played 90% of the time I was a big good person, each role has a different element. I do want to accept more challenges." Character was acted out to be so hated by everyone Many artistes will be laughing and chatting before filming beings, but some would sit in one side and try to get into character. Susanna highly praises Kate's seriousness in her work, she had done all her homework before shooting. Susanna said: "She is a serious actress, once she enters the studio she won't be talking much, she would sit to one side and try to get into character, she really puts in a lot of effort to do a scene. Scenes opposite of each other, she has done very well. Before filming, we didn't really talk about the scene, we only practiced twice before the real thing, that's what's called real. If waited out, then the hatred won't be enough, it won't hit the meat!" But Kate said modestly: "It's because my experience is not a lot, so I have to sit aside to practice more. I don't know if it's like this, but people may think I'm not proficient in my performance yet. Also often I don't discuss with others, once we discuss about personals, my mentality has a higher responsibility." Audience Fate, Some People are Born with it Speaking of audience fate, Susanna expressed hers is lucky, her audience fate has always been just average: "Many people will have audience fate once they come out, like they are born to have the fate. For me, it has always been only ok, maybe before I didn't have many negative gossips or rumors. I feel that the current artiste's transparency is too high, it would be better if we distance from the audience a bit." Kate said: "For audience fate, I don't think I can control it. Audiences all have different tastes, but I'm viewing it positively. Online, there are some positive feedback about me, but there are also many criticisms, I do feel this is a good thing, at least this could help me work hard to improve." Stepping into Music Industry without fear Soon, Kate and her Music Record company will be holding an autograph session, indicating that she has officially entered the Music Industry. Asked if she would ask Susanna to give her some pointers? Susanna smiled: "She's a smart girl, her opportunities in participating in concerts and stage work could soon surpass me. She is so smart and hard working, she definitely will be able to handle the work, but she must work hard at it, constantly improving. If not, this industry (music) you can easily fall behind. Other things she does not need to worry about." Kate is thankful for Susanna's praises and said that entering the music industry, she doesn't have much pressures. She explains: "Towards singing, its like a piece of white paper, I am in the Baby stage, I don't know what I will be able to do. I will constantly explore the possibilities, I will try my best and to go try!" Source: Oriental Daily Translated by: aZnangel @ http://******************
I dnt get why playing a villian role is made into such a big deal, as actresses, isnt it just their job?! Maybe im too western minded, but im sure its not that difficult considering its part of their job description to 'act'.
