Being in the entertainment industry for 9 years, slowly she gets recognition from everyone. While everyone in this society is chasing fame and popularity in a quick way, her way is rarely seen, especially in entertainment industry, sacrificing youth and hard work will not guarantee any returns. Therefore, a lot of people gave up in the middle and a lot of people even lost in the fame and popularity. My guest tonight, Tavia Yeung is the exception. “Paco, I will get “Oldies Awards” in 1 year time!" Tavia, which entered entertainment industry for 9 yrs, graduated from 13th TVB Artistes Training Class and started from minor roles. This year, based on Moonlight Resonance “Lo Lui” role, her acting received high praises and in the same time becomes big competitor for Best Supporting Actress and Most Improved Actress. Tavia said, “Paco, I really want to “take” [lo] all awards. As long as there are awards for me to “take”, then is enough.” Not Match with Moses? To be truth, I seldom watch TV series. This is because normally I am drinking wines when TV series are aired. However, it doesn’t mean that I never took notice of Moonlight Resonance, which is very popular and discussed by everyone now. Among Ka Hou Yuet Yuen Heng Zhung Chao, black horse Ah Yuet clearly outshines everyone. Tavia, who acts as Ah Yuet, gains recognition from audiences for her outstanding acting and her role has become the audiences’ favourite role in the series. “I’m also a bit surprised that Ah Yuet’s role gained so much positive feedback from audiences. I really never thought of this before.” Tavia said that she joined 13th TVB Artistes Training Class in 1999 and after 6 years, she only received newcomer awards [Most Improved Actress] and after waited for 3 years, then she only received Best Supporting Actress. Congratulations Tavia that she got recognition in her acting and not only that, she was offered other high earning jobs outside. “Really a lot of people find me for shows and stage performance in these 2 months. Mostly I will go with Moses. Thanks Moses for that. But to be truth, that time when I know that I have to pair up with Moses in Moonlight Resonance, I was a little afraid because I felt that we did not really match each other and could not be on-screen couple. Maybe because I felt that Bernice and him matched each other more! Hahaha” Entertainment circle’s rumours always circulated between real and fake and really hard to judge but I only know that Tavia’s rumours have maintained at a level close to none. I only know that there was a “rumoured” boyfriend of her and it seemed that their relationship has settled down. “How is the life with zero level of rumours? Haha Paco, everyone knows that it is easy to gain rumours in this field and the readers like to know about these things. Won’t it be easy to create rumours? Maybe I’m a dull person and nobody is interested in writing about me. Getting Most Improved Actress Awards again? “After worked for 9 years and then now only get recognition from everybody, did u feel unfair, lost in the middle or give up? I’m considered a rational person. Since I had entered artistes acting class, I already knew that I had to work from start. Luckily I never gave up and never did something that I did not like. I was just like outside normal working people. Do my very best for the job in front of me. I will do the best for every role that were given to me no matter major or minor roles. Audiences will see that and directors and producers will know that.” Paco asked, “But if this year you did not received Best Supporting Actress but received Most Improved Actress again instead, will you be unhappy about it? I’ve heard that Kate Tsui who represented Moonlight Resonance too had high chance of winning that award.” “I will say that I wish to get every award that I was nominated. Most important is can take an award. Or I can say like this, even if I received Most Improved Actress again, I was considered the first person that received this awards twice. It was an honour to me too. Moreover the awards full name was not same with the one I received last time haha.” The answer was a new try and presentable. Her training for 9 years were really useful. Paco asked, “Ah Yuet’s role always faces with sorrowful experiences and there were a lot of crying scenes. Actually how did you handle it? Have you ever thought of other female artistes who also did crying scenes but how come only you were successful with it?” “A woman’s tears are just like a tool. No matter is real world or in series, if a woman cries with no reason, people will find it a nuisance. But which type of crying will make people feel touched and will not only feel just to gain sympathy, I think that it was because Ah Yuet’s role was well written and she really mirrors me." Tavia said that her best male artiste friends are Raymond Lam, Bosco Wong and Ron Ng, especially is Raymond Lam. This is because they were both classmates and graduated from 13th TVB Artistes Training Class. When they acted together, including intimate scenes, they would not have any pressure over it. Tavia commented about Best Actor. “Although I supported Raymond Lam, but Jo Pao really deserves this award as his acting was really up to standard. Watch carefully before eat? With a short hair, Tavia looks strong from outside, but eventually her real person was just like Ah Yuet and will only know all her bitterness herself. “I will not cry over small matters. I will only cry when the matter has reach its peak and explodes off.” “When I was acting as Ah Yuet, I really felt that I suddenly opened up my mind. Did I ever think of where it comes from? To be truth, I myself was not sure too. But when I filmed Moonlight Resonance, I was filming an ancient series at the same time. The role was totally different with Ah Yuet. That time I was very tired because I filmed modern series after ancient series. I used another way to handle Ah Yuet’s role. The way I’m saying this seems like I did not put much effort in handling Ah Yuet’s role but actually my feeling was just like that at that time. Maybe it was due to the feelings of getting something and wanted to hold it firmly fitted the importance of Ah Yuet’s role." Soon, we will going to see Ah Yuet again. This time a very evil role was arranged for her in new series “Palace Scheme. “I was so excited when I got to know that I will act as an evil role. This is because if you act well in an evil role, you will place huge images on audiences. It was just like recently Roger Kwok and Bowie Lam who acted as a baddie in series. It really needs up to standard acting skills to handle the role well. Ah Yuet said that she was lucky that she was given an evil role after she worked for 9 years. “If I started off with evil roles, firstly, acting skills were not up to standard and the role will look evil just from outside, and secondly, if I handle the role well, my image will be stated at that kind of role. Therefore, it will be better to handle an evil role after there were basic acting skills and experiences.” Haha Tavia’s attitudes towards her career were just like eating steamboats. No rushing and everything must be step by step. Tavia said that if she wants to compete to be on newspaper headlines, she will wears sexily rather than creates rumours with other male artistes. At here, I represented all males out there to support her! Source: Singtao Daily
