[08/02/12] Linda Chung Being Called The 'Scum Of The Century', But Still Feels Happy About It

Linda Chung being called 'The Scum of the Century' but still feels happy about it

In the drama Yes Sir, Sorry Sir, Moses Chan had used Linda Chung through their relationship, and so he was labelled as the "Scum of the Century". Recently, Linda's character in L'Escargot, Kwan Ka Lok, has also created a huge reaction from the audience. She cheated on Ron Ng's character, "Dai Ding" and slept with Michael Tse's character, "Ko Wang Chim" in order to thank him for helping her.

Yesterday night, the scene when "Kwan Ka Lok" gets drunk and sleeps with "Ko Wang Chim" for a second time was broadcasted. Some netizens criticised Linda's character for trying to make people feel sorry for her; and have also listed out all her wrongdoings, namely, "lustfulness, greed, and being a liar". She has since been labelled as the "Scum of the Century (female version), and the netizens believe her character should not have a happy ending.

Regarding being labelled as "The Scum of the Century", Linda Chung believes that her character, "Kwan Ka Lok", has been a success, and there will always be a part of the audience who either love or hate a character anyway. She has noticed that most of the netizens have been scolding her character, and not Linda Chung herself. Also, she has observed that not only is the audience immersed in the series, but staff behind the scenes have also been discussing about the drama animatedly, making Linda feel extremely happy.

Linda said, "The world is unfair. It can be considered as acceptable for a man to have an affair, but if a woman were to have an ex-marital relationship, it is viewed upon in a completely different light. I'm only acting out this role and I think it is quite reasonable for the character "Kwan Ka Lok" to be scolded since she has done something wrong. In real life, I'm not this type of person."

"Kwan Ka Lok" has been cursed to not have a happy ending- netizens hope that she will not be able to get back together with "Dai Ding" and will have to go and study abroad by herself. Linda commented, "I think this will actually be a good arrangement for my character. She can reflect on herself when abroad studying and re-discover her path in life."

Ron Ng Wants Most to Buy House for Mother, Linda Chung Not Afraid of People Stealing the Thunder

21CN News, 03/02/2012

Linda Chung, Ron Ng

Linda Chung is Not Afraid of Others Stealing the Thunder

The main theme in TVB Drama is of the dilemmas faced by the common people, and received much response. Ron Ng and Linda Chung, who acted as lovers in the drama, accepted an interview the day before, and commended the plot for being very close to reality, and especially caused Ron Ng to recall many incidences in his childhood when he was living in public housing.

Ron Ng expressed that 's plot is one of his top three favorites he has had since entering the entertainment industry for the past 10+ years. This is because he plays a role in reflecting the real-life situation that common people in Hong Kong face when saving up money to buy a house an pay the mortgage. Having a small public flat in which 10+ people reside gives rise to many interesting incidences, but is definitely very true indeed, and triggered memories of himself in that situation when he was young. He laughed and said that in the past, living in public housing was like being a Marshall, having great relations with neighbors. Also, in the past there wasn't much to do for entertainment, without computers and game sets, so a whole group of kids would often come together to kick a ball or play table tennis in a cold back alley. Every time they were to buy a toy, they had to plead with their parents for very long before they could get it. He laughingly responded, "Actually I had not many requests when it came to toys, very mature, I wouldn't buy anything, until it came to a few thousand dollar bicycle." Now that he has grown up, would he spend money to buy things that he liked? Ron Ng expressed that he would measure what would make himself happy, like now having a Tablet PC already makes him very happy. He doesn't have many wishes to have what men like most: cars, as he feels that it is not necessary, and says that right now what's most important is his house ownership, because he does not want to make his mother worry. He says, "My mother's biggest wish is that I could buy a house, not rent one, I am currently saving up for the first installment; I hope that there would be a larger range for me to choose from, somewhere convenient for my mom to go places from. Right now, it's best for me to stay with my mother, after trying to live on my own, I will feel that I am very empty without my mother. Before, I depended on my domestic helper, how would that be the same as your mom still asking you if you wanted to drink soup after you got home from work very very late?" Reporters asked if he should get married? He stated that he is not at the age suitable for marriage, and he hasn't got a house or saved up enough money, laughingly replying that he would at least have to buy a house before thinking about getting married.

Linda Chung Not Worried About Others Stealing the Thunder
As to Linda Chung being happy about the drama's viewership and reputation, she is the happiest about 'Kwan Yee Sou' Mandy Wong being welcomed by the audience. She commends her for being an adaptable female artiste, and when asked if she is afraid that the latter may steal her thunder? She replies, "I'm not afraid, if the audience can just feel happy and touched, I will be very happy, at best every character could be a blast."

Linda Chung - It's Not Time Yet To Disclose My Relationship

Linda Chung had to rush and attend two events in a row the night before last – she had to attend her good friend Charmaine Li and Ricky Fan’s wedding as one of the bridesmaids, as well as a slimming company’s anniversary dinner since she is the face of the company. She was definitely very busy!

Linda reveals that she will have three days off in the upcoming Chinese New Year season. However, her family has already gone back to Toronto, leaving her to celebrate the New Year by herself. She says, “My mum has just left, but we already had a huge meal together previously in order to celebrate the New Year. Before she left, she even prepared some New Year cake for me, as well as soup packages, Chinese style sausages and other types of foods since she was worried I would get hungry.”

Facing the end of the world with her loved ones
Linda states that in the past, every time she had to separate from her family and say her goodbyes, she would become very upset and cry. A few years back, she cried so much that she was unable to go to work. However, this time round, she was able to control her emotions, and believes it is a sign of her growing up. She says, “If the world is really going to end in 2012, I will go back to Canada and face it with them. This is because I love my family the most. If I have a boyfriend by that time, I will also take him with me!”

Born in the Year of the Rat, Linda believes that her career will become even more successful in the Year of the Dragon. She will film commercials, participate in dramas and release a new album. Finding love would be the cherry on the cake. When asked when she will disclose her relationship, she found it hard to reply, but answered, “I don’t know. When our relationship becomes stable, I will see what my other half wants to do and then make my decision. We would already have a consensus on this matter early on in our relationship and I won’t be impulsive. If the time comes, then I will announce it to you all. In the meantime, please can the media give me some space for me to find my other half first.”

When it was mentioned that she has been caught on camera with her rumoured boyfriend Philip Ng many times, Linda replied, “I will tell everyone about my relationship before I get married. However, I don’t really want to talk about my private matters too much. In order to focus on my career, it’s best to keep some sort of privacy.”

[23/12/2011] Bosco Wong And Linda Chung Film Explosion Scene In <Dangerous Protection>

Bosco Wong and Linda Chung Film Explosion Scene in
23/12/2011

Although Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) and Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) may have been disappointed by not winning major awards at this year’s TVB Anniversary Awards, this did not affect their fighting spirit. Bosco’s romance with Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) was becoming increasingly open. The rumored to-be-groom-in-2012 wore a chok expression while filming a gunfire and car chasing scene in Dangerous Protection <護花危情>, which resulted in an explosion. Apparently, Bosco did not mind the risk of facial disfigurement. Of course, a man needs to establish his career first before getting married and it was not good for Bosco and TV Queen Myolie Wu’s distance in their careers to be too far apart!

Failure is an impending step to future success. By learning through one’s failures, one is a step closer to success. Bosco was convinced by this mantra, thus he quickly recovered from disappointment [in the TVB Anniversary Awards results] and gathered his spirits together.

Last week, Bosco filmed for the new TVB series, Dangerous Protection, in the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate area. He filmed from early morning until sunset for a gunfire exchange and explosion scene. Witness Protection Unit police offiers, Bosco Wong and Lee Yee Man (李綺雯) were responsible in protecting depressed, wealthy cello player, Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣).

Responsible for PTU team’s actions at the scene, Bosco rushed to catch the robbers, which resulted in a gunfire exchange. The rear window of Bosco’s was shattered and the scattered glass was quite dangerous. With the slightest mistake, the passengers in the car would risk disfigurement. However, Bosco was not timid and appeared chok and incredibly masculine when the cameras started rolling! Even the pedestrians were attracted by his charm and asked to take photos with Bosco.

Dangerous Protection is considered to be the spin-off series for Linda Chung’s Miss Koo character from Yes Sir, Sorry Sir <點解阿Sir係阿Sir>. On set, Linda was very friendly with Lee Yee Man, in which the pair huddled over Linda’s cell phone during a filming break. When a female fan climbed over a two meter high gate in order to take a photo with Linda, the crew members were alarmed by the incident.

Bosco Wong and Linda Chung Yawn Repeatedly During Work Hours

According to the media centers in Hong Kong, at 9.30pm last night, Bosco Wong and Linda Chung were filming outdoor scenes in Central for their new drama, . It is unknown if the two of them had insufficient rest due to hurried filming, but they both alternately yawned from time to time. Linda Chung's yawned so widely that one could stuff a fist inside, and it was relatively scary for people to see.

The two of them were waiting at the harbor for a taxi at the taxi stand, and Linda was seen to say a few sentences to Bosco, before leaving alone to get onto a taxi and leave. Myolie, who has already obtained the valuable role of TV Queen, has to stay in the Mainland over this Christmas season to film dramas and earn money. On the other hand, her 'short-tongued' boyfriend Bosco Wong was left in Hong Kong, busy filming for the TVB Drama. So, the two of them are unable to celebrate this special occasion together.

[16/12/2011] Linda Chung Injures The Insides Of Her Thighs

Linda Chung injures the insides of her legs

Although in the middle of shooting the drama “Dangerous Protection” yesterday, Linda Chung was still able to attend a promotion event for a famous watch making company for half the day despite her busy schedule. Having earned a lot of money this year from attending event and becoming the face of companies, it seems that Linda will have another prosperous new year.

Of course, one can earn a lot more money by attending promotion events as suppose to filming dramas. Linda reveals that she portrays a professional cellist in “Dangerous Protection”, and so, she has had to have cello lessons. “I’ve had 4 lessons so far, but I have to practise the same piece everyday for 2 hours. I’ve even got calluses on my fingers now.”

However, her hard work will not go to waste – she can now just about manage the shooting requirements and does not need to use background music every time. She continues to reveal that she has injured the insides of her thighs the day before yesterday, when they were filming a car crash scene. She said, “The script described that at the moment of the car crash, I had to use my whole body and my pair of legs to protect the cello. I didn’t realise that the edge of the cello was that hard, so in the end, my thighs became swollen and bruised. Good thing that I don’t have to wear a short dress for this event.” Of course, Linda refused to show everyone her bruises, and left the public to imagine themselves the extent of her injuries.

When asked how she planned to spend her Christmas, she appeared to be a bit disappointed. Linda said, “I originally planned to go on holiday, but the scheduling didn’t work out. I have to film “Dangerous Protection” and will have to attend promotion events. That’s still good, because I can earn more money.” When questioned whether she has already congratulated Real Ting (on Miriam Yeung’s rumoured pregnancy), who was attending the same event, she replied that she will wait until Real Ting officially announces the good news before congratulating him. However, she does envy Mr and Mrs Ting’s loving relationship, and also hopes that her future partner will be like Real Ting. At the moment, she can only tell the rest of us, “I’m now looking hard for that special someone.”

Linda Chung’s aim – to become TV Queen at age 30

Dressed up as a flower fairy, Linda Chung attended the “Winnie the Pooh Christmas Adventure Land” (Sorry I really can’t think of another way to translate this!) opening ceremony yesterday. Regarding the TVB Awards Ceremony which is due to take place later today, Linda honestly replied that she will face the ceremony calmly. Knowing that her portrayal of the character “Miss Koo” was hugely popular, she already feels that the audience’s support is an award.

Linda states that Myolie Wu is her biggest rival to the Best Actress Award. It was previously reported that since Myolie Wu has received support from Steven Chan, it is inevitable that she will receive the Best Actress Award. When asked whether Linda has already prepared for the worst, she replied, “I’ll treat it like I normally would. Myolie has also put in a lot of effort and she works very hard. So, if she does receive the award, she fully deserves it.”

Neither belonging to the “Steven Chan party” nor the “Virginia Lok party”, Linda seems to be at a disadvantage when it comes to winning awards. She says, “My parents have always taught me to try my hardest when working. Also, my company has offered me many opportunities this year, so I will continue to work hard, and I believe I can become TV Queen in the future.” Linda has set her target of becoming TV Queen at the age of 30. She comments, “After entering the entertainment industry, I have learnt to become more independent, and can now manage a lot of things on my own. I believe I will be even more mature when I’m 30. The age of 30 is a major stepping stone for a lot of women. I still have to work hard for three more years before I reach this stage.”
