Although this article mentions that Tavia has been promoted since winning 'Most Improved' in 2004.. I don't think she has been promoted nearly as much as she deserves. Esp if you compare her to former pageant contestants like Charmaine, Myolie, Bernice and Linda..

Hopefully Tavia's new popularity will urge TVB to promote her more and give her better roles.

Tavia Yeung - The Worst of a Woman's Heart

After seven years in the industry, Tavia Yeung has recently received high acclaim for her role in hit drama "Heart of Greed" and her acting talent has been brought to light.

TVB's series "Heart of Greed" has some very twisting storylines that have been the talking point of the city recently as have the characters in the show. Apart from the veteran stars such as Lee Si Kei, Susanna Kwan and Ha Yu receiving praise for their performances, rising female star Tavia has also been accepted as many netizens comment on the improvements to her acting ability, allowing her to break through the young female artistes and become tipped to be the next leading lady.

In response to the good reviews for her acting, Tavia says: "I am very happy and never imagined I would receive so many compliments, because this character has an affair and drinks and smokes, so I was worried that she would not be well accepted. With such a breakthrough, it just proves that if a woman is not bad, then she will not be loved by a man."

Low Profile - No Gossip

Tavia was a student of the 13th Artiste Training Class and after her graduation, she was immediately selected by a producer to take part in "Golden Faith" that starred Gallen Lo and Jessica Hsuan. Since then, she has had one series after another and in the series "The Awakening Story", she forged a road for herself by playing Maggie Cheung Ho Yee's sister. As there are some elements of similarity in their appearances, this earned her the title of 'Maggie Lookalike', but through her subsequent hard work, she moved out of Maggie's shadow and found her own tranche. In seven years, Tavia has filmed over 40 series and among all her roles, her favourite was Tam Chu Mei in "Dicey Business": "The character was one where I had to pack my bust to portray a 36D and also had to give her a speech impediment, so it was a breakthrough and a challenge."

Since entering the industry, Tavia has kept a low profile and has rarely had any rumours or gossip. Although this is a disadvantage for her popularity, but she does not lose out on acting talent at all. In 2004, she took the TVB anniversary award for "Most Improved Female" for her role in "Vigilante Force", so no wonder she has been the subject of promotion by the company.

Sudden Change in Figure - Sexy Object

Since her appearance, Tavia has always portrayed an image of being very innocent and simple, like the girl next door, wearing very conservative clothes in front of the camera and giving a tomboyish look. Only after playing the sexy object in "Dicey Business" did she wave goodbye to her tomboy image, becoming more feminine and more sexy and giving everyone a fresh surprise. Recently she has become spokemodel for slimming and breast enhancement companies, often taking part in sexy promotional shows or shooting ads. Having sucessfully changed her image, Tavia says: "In showbiz you cannot stay the same all the time, but accepting a sexier image does not mean that I am sexually promiscuous. I do not want to go to down the sexy route, I just want to extend my range of images and not limit myself to the girl next door."

Changing Roles - Polishing Acting Skills

2001 - The Awakening Story
Fresh on the scene, Tavia worked with leading lady Maggie Cheung as her younger sister Suen Hing Yan. Although she did not have much screentime, her resemblance to Maggie earned her the nickname of 'Maggie Lookalike' and she became noticed.

2003 - Whatever it Takes
Leading lady Tavia plays Mo Yung Suet, who is both intelligent and beautiful, but very stubborn. She falls for Evergreen Mak and gives her life for him in the end. As her ancient costume image is beautiful, she becomes target to be selected for many other ancient dramas in the future.

2003 - Vigilante Force
Although the series is led by Bowie Lam, Benny Chan and Kenix Kwok, with Tavia in a supporting role, her character as an unmarried mother Kelly Wan and her hugely fluctuating moods gave her a lot of screentime and won her the award for "Most Improved Female" as her skills became recognised.

2005 - The Academy
The series was based on police cadets, but Tavia's character was from a family of conmen. She had plenty of romance scenes with cadet Ron Ng, including some passionate kiss scenes that were picked out as real kisses full of emotion.

2006 - Dicey Business
The storyline was about the battles between Bobby Au Yeung and Michael Miu, but Tavia's role of Tam Chu Mei was particularly eyecatching and she had to put in some fake breasts for her role. With the character being greedy and amusing, she broke through her image of being a good girl and the fresh image broke the mould.

Praises from Seniors - Crying on Cue

Tavia worked with many veteran actors in "Heart", so what do they have to say about her?

Lee Si Kei: Tavia is very smart, her acting is very regulated, especially when she is in an emotional scene, when she becomes very absorbed, crying on cue and very skilful! Her obstinate character is very convincing and she is really very good.

Susanna Kwan: She is a good girl! Her acting is very professional and the deepest impression for me was when she was crying, she would do it exactly when needed and it was like turning on a tap, she could control it so well. Also her crying look is not ugly at all.

Ron, Sammul & Tavia "On the First Beat"
Thursday, May 24, 2007 Hong Kong

New series "On the First Beat" will be airing after the finale of "Heart of Greed" and the cast members held a promotional event at a Ho Man Tin secondary school yesterday. However, some of the more senior members of the cast such as the heavily rumoured Michael Tao and Sonija Kwok and guest star Joey Yung were noticeably absent and it was left to the younger leads Ron Ng, Sammul Chan and Tavia Yeung to hold the fort, together with Yan Ng and Rocky Cheng. However, they were all unafraid of being affected by the earlier reports about Michael's divorce and were full of confident for the show.

With three of the leads missing from the event, producer Wong Wai Sing indicates that Sonija is on vacation until July, so she will not be taking part in any of the promotions and Michael is currently in Japan filming on location for "Harmony Taste & Passion" and will not be back in Hong Kong until 9th June, when he will take part in the later events. Joey is too busy at the moment, but she will be at the promotional event on Tuesday. Asked if he is worried that this will affect the ratings, he says that the audience is only interested in the show and not necessarily in whether the stars appear at events. He is currently producing another show "Cold Encounters of the Third Kind", but female lead Toby Leung was admitted to hospital with fever and vomiting. Wong says that Toby was discharged earlier and will be returning to work today and this has not affected progress because they had skipped ahead to scenes that did not include her.

Ron is not worried that "First" is following on from the hit series "Heart" and says: "I am confident in this series because last time it was about our training as a cadet and this time it tells of how the cadets are out on the job. There are also more scenes of training at the PTU and also rioting scenes, so the content is much more interesting than the first series." Ron will be heading out to Chengdu to film a joint production between a mainland and Taiwanese company, where he plays a wine producer. He plans to be there for two months before heading back to Hong Kong to film for "The Four Great Constables". As he does not want to affect the schedules for "Four", then he will be rushing his filming in China for the next two months and therefore he will not be able to attend any more promotions for "First".

Tavia has been busy promoting both "Heart" and "First" and she smiles that if she had a fee for these promotions she would be rich. With two series being aired back to back, she is pleased that this has brought her more stage performances and made her some extra money and she hopes to reward herself with a new car. Does she feel any pressure with "First" being released so soon after "Heart"? She says:"I am confident in the new series, because there are a lot of new cast members and after the hype of "Heart", then the ratings should continue to be good. (Are you not worried about the negative rumours surrounding Michael and Sonija?) No, rumours are not real and they will actually help bring focus on the series. The viewers want to watch the drama and not the gossip."

Sammul has just returned from Thailand and it has been two or three years since he last visited Bangkok, so he joined a few friends on a trip there. One night in a bar, when they were going to the toilet, they passed three girls and one of them turned round and pinched Sammul on the buttock. He was rather shocked, but by the time he had realised this, they had gone into the ladies and he was left helpless. Sammul says that he was not angry: "It's okay for a man to be pinched on the bum, it is only used for sitting on and is not an important area. (So what if they had pinched one of those areas?) Of course I would protect myself then! At the first opportunity!" On this trip, Sammul met with many Hong Kong tourists and was asked to be photographed by many 'aunties'.

Sammul was sporting a bit of stubble and a shaved head at the event and he explains that it is just for fun and for no real reason. Asked if he has any expectations for "First", he smiles: "I feel that this time it will be even better than last time because there are some evacuation and riot scenes in there. Also with new cast members such as Joey and Yan Ng, then I am confident in ratings and hope that we can have a 'cadet's blog'."

Tavia Yeung Unafraid of Rumours and Borrows Ron Ng's Car

Tavia Yeung took part in a promotion for the Forza Motorsport 2 Game yesterday and tried her hand at playing the game as well as decorating two remote controlled cars for a charity auction which raised $700. A games player herself, Tavia says that this racing game is very exciting and is just like driving a real car. She also adds that she is a very careful driver and since she started driving, she has only been caught jumping a red light and being fined 3 penalty points.

The car that Tavia decorated was a white Fair Lady, the same car as her rumoured boyfriend Ron Ng. She openly admits riding in his car in the past and is confident that he would even lend it to her because she has lent him her car before. Asked if she is afraid of rumours again or upsetting some of Ron's other rumoured girlfriends, she smiles she is not afraid and jokes that she will call him later to borrow his car.

"Heart of Greed" Reaches Finale Week - TVB Pledge to Reunite Cast in New Series

TVB series "Heart of Greed" will be airing its final episode on Friday and a celebration party was held yesterday for the cast and crew, attendees included Lee Si Kei, Ha Yu, Susanna Kwan, Tavia Yeung, Bosco Wong and Linda Chung as well as executive Catherine Tsang, who promised that the cast would be reunited once again for another production, saying that no-one would be left out.

The hype around the series keeps on growing and ratings last week averaged 35 points, peaking on Thursday at 40 points, pulling in 2.5 million viewers. As well as opening the champagne to celebrate, they also took a guess at the finale ratings to pass 48 points. As for the steady rise in viewers, Tavia and Linda were both very happy. Tavia has decided together with Bosco to take everyone out for a buffet, whilst Linda will be chipping in with Raymond Lam to pay for karaoke. As for the pledge from Catherine for another series together, they all joined together and said: "That would be the best!"

Catherine also wished Bosco good look for the Thailand release of his series "Devil's Disciple" in Thailand as Bosco and Kevin will be flying out to promote the show and record the Thai theme song tomorrow. Bosco says: "I have to do 20 interviews in 3 days, so I have to take over ten outfits. Fortunately I have my sponsors to help me out." As for another series with the "Heart" cast, Bosco says: "Of course I would like to film this, the best would be to carry on the theme of food! (But isn't it boring seeing you paired with Tavia again?) So next time we should have a big swap around and Ha Yu should be paired with Fala and I will be paired with Susanna. (Why don't you choose Fala?) We have had rumours so it would be boring. I'd like a change even if it is with Linda!"

With the ratings peaking when Susanna's 'Sai Kai' divorced Ha Yu in the show on Thursday, even beating Dai Kai's death scene, this proves her popularity has risen a lot. She says happily: "I am really happy, although people scold me every day, I am still happy."

She indicates that she is not being scolded in the streets, but in the internet forum polls, where netizens will talk about every scene and say to her: "Sai Kai, stop it now! Sheung Joi Dak is tricking you, please return to Dai Bau!" She feels that it is rare for a series to attract viewers' concern in this way and it is down to several elements, including the script, the roles and the media coverage.

As for her episode even beating Si Kei's big scene, she says: "The opening is very important because it has caught the viewers' attention and the ratings keep getting better. (Are you hoping for a new record in the ratings?) I am confident, but as for how much, I hope we will be as good as 'Jewel in the Palace' and 'War and Beauty'."

In order to celebrate the ratings, Susanna and Ha Yu will be taking everyone out for dinner. Asked if she would like an award at the end of the year? She says: "I have not really thought about awards, I am already very good and for people to say I am performing well is already an award for me, so if I do receive one, then it will be a bonus. (Is this your representative piece?) I daren't claim it to be, because I am just a high school student when it comes to filming series. I can just say it was a very memorable production and I will continue to sing." As for the original cast being reunited, she is very supportive, but hopes that it will be a longer series as 40 episodes is too short.

Following the success of airing the finale to "Jewel in the Palace" in a shopping centre in the past, the malls of Hong Kong have been fighting for the right to air the finale to "Heart" in their precints on Friday. TVB sold these rights to the highest bidder and it was Tsuen Wan's Discovery Park that won. They will also be hosting a special abalone banquet in the centre to mark the occasion. Although they lost out, Hollywood Plaza will be airing some other episodes this week on a 250 inch screen and will also be holding some promotional events and lucky draws to win abalone prizes. With rumours on the internet that the show will have two endings, producer Lau Ka Ho denied this yesterday.

Too bad there is no picture of Bosco-Tavia at the event.. but it's nice to know that the popularity of both has been boosted by their recent collaboration in DB and HOG.

Wednesday June 6, 2007 Hong Kong

Bosco Wong and Tavia Yeung recently have played a lovely married couple in "Heart Of Greed".
Recently they have been invited for a watch' brand opening ceremony.

They asked or Bosco would want to be a spokeperson. He laughed and replied:"I would really want to, hoping with the brand to promoto my new series "War OF In-Laws 2007." He thinks that it's also good to invite him and Liza together to be spokeperson, because they both have a good taste. Asked if he wanted to be a spokeperson for the a couples' watch. He says it depends on the situation. Bosco and Tavia both had a couples' watch.

Bosco denies dating

Asked if he ever gave a watch to someone. He replied that he only gave a watch to his father. As for girlfriends, he never did, because when he used to date he didn't had much money. But now he also don't have someone he fancies. Bosco is collecting antique watches, each one of them has a big value. Reporters say his dad will give one of those watches to him later on. Bosco laughed and said it won't be the same as family "Tong" (Heart Of Greed) and won't fight for his money.

Bosco thinks because of Heart Of Greed he has worked more hours then he was used to. Refering to Heart Of Greeds final ratings that wasn't higher than the ratings of Jewel In The Palace, he said that he was satisfied with 48 points. He hopes that people ask him to film more.

Tavia appeared in a white dress. For being at this opening ceremony, she received a amount of 5 numbers. Asked her if she has expensive watches. She replied the most expensive watch is only about 10,000. At the event she wore a watch with the value around 30,000.
Recently Tavia and Bosco have been appearing together at a lot of events. Asked Tavia or she isn't afraid of Myolie being jealous. Tavia smiled and replied that's she is not worried and she gets along with Bosco very well and that the three of them are very good friends.

There were rumours saying that new series "On The First Beat" was copied from "PTU" and «神經俠侶». Tavia Yeung never saw these two movies. The two movies are about the same subject, but the progress is different. She will support her own series, but doesn't agree if "On The First Beat" was really copied. But "On The First Beat" ratings was 33 points, so she is really happy with it.

Tavia Yeung has Plenty of Work Thanks to "Heart of Greed"

Tavia Yeung took part in a limited edition mobile phone promotion yesterday wearing a sexy top that revealed her belly button. She smiles that as the weather is hot and humid, she has paid for ice cream for everyone. She says she is just a guest and not a spokesperson, but she was still presented with a new phone.

Thanks to the effect of "Heart of Greed", Tavia has had a lot of promotional work and after the watch show earlier, she is now selling phones. Although she has not calculated how much she has made, she still feels very happy and hopes that she will have even more sponsors, such as clothes, shoes and cars.

Asked if she would like to buy a sports car, Tavia says: "Sports cars are very mother-unfriendly, I am very welcoming to my mother, so I would like to buy a family car to drive my family around."

Having always kept her love life low profile, Tavia has been spotted on many occasions with a 'fat guy' boyfriend and a magazine has recently published photos of them out shopping again, but they kept their distance. She smiles: "To avoid people guessing, I always keep my distance from my male friends when we are out. (Is the fat guy your boyfriend?) No, just a male friend. (But you have been spotted together many times?) I only have a few friends and I will not alienate them to avoid being photographed. If I am in a stable relationship, then I do not mind revealing it, but for now my work is my priority . The company is very open and they will not stop me making friends or having normal social activity."
