Myolie Wu is more than willing to get scolded by Francis Ng

TVB series Wish and Switch will be broadcasting tonight (1/3/12). The two lead actresses in the series Myolie Wu and Selena Li were dressed in Snow White costumes as if they were twins. The two were accompanied by the other cast members Johnson Lee and Vincent Wong to a school to play with the children. During the promotion, Myolie suddenly blurted out: "Angela Tong is getting married soon!" Angela quickly shouted that she's not.

Since the series is broadcasting during the Lunar New Year holidays, many viewers will be out on vacations, is Myolie worried about the ratings being affected? Myolie calmly said: "In the past, I had other series broadcast during this period, just like last year's The Rippling Blossom, which ended up being the top 5 rated series of 2011. So, the outcomes are hard to predict. I do not dare to say I'm a rating guaranteed artist, but I can say the story of this series is refreshing and there are sparks in my collaboration with Johnson. I have my expectations as well."

Regarding the past reports being brought up again that when Myolie, who was considered a newcomer at the time, collaborated with Francis Ng in Triumph in the Skies, she was scolded by her seniors and criticized of her poor acting. Today, Myolie has become the TV Queen, but she doesn't feel insulted. She said: "Even if my seniors scolded me back then, it does not mean they had bad intentions, it is for my own good. I am more than willing to be scolded. I am fortunate that Francis brought this topic up again and cleared up the whole incident. I really do hope we can collaborate again this May in Triumph in the Skies II and I can learn from him."

Since Selena's debut 8 years ago, this series is probably the one she had the most kiss and bed scenes, which made her quite uncomfortable. In the series, she plays a millionaire's daughter-in-law, but in reality she shouted that she fears having such life. She said: "As a 'millionaire's daughter-in-law' you have to have so many bodyguards following you in and out. It is so stressful marrying into a wealthy family. If I were to choose, I would rather be a common woman. I know I have a birthmark on my back that proves I have a difficult life, I don't have a wealthy wife life. I am ready to rely on myself in the future and have never thought about finding a rich man."

Wearing 5 Inch Heels, Myolie Wu Dispels Pregnancy Rumors

“Freshly baked” TV King Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎) and TV Queen Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) appeared at a ribbon cutting ceremony for a Global Timepieces promotional event. Rumored to be pregnant, Myolie especially wore five inch high heels to dispel the accusations. Kevin joked, “I text messaged Myolie to ask if the rumors were true!” Myolie immediately retorted, “That’s because he wants to have a baby!” Kevin could only blame himself for starting the trouble. The pair bantered before the press.

Regarding the pregnancy rumors, Myolie said, “I don’t think people will believe the rumors.” (Did Bosco Wong 黃宗澤 visit the herbalist together with you?) “I got a car ride on that day. Since I was not feeling well for several months, my friends recommended that I see the herbalist. I predicted that if I were to be photographed, then pregnancy questions would arise. If I were to go through any milestones in life, I promise to notify everyone!”

Kevin Cheng a New Gold Magnet

Asked whether he had reconciled with ex-flames, Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) and Niki Chow (周麗淇) , Kevin replied, “The news reports continue to morph daily; I cannot follow them! Anyhow, we are friends!”

Kevin became a new generation of gold magnet, while Myolie praised him as a “super diamond bachelor.” Kevin only admitted that his fees were satisfactory. Asked if he earned $20 million HKD within half a year, Kevin said, “Wow, then one year would equal to $40 million HKD! Then if I were to work for several years, then I can retire! I’m still trying!”

When Kevin was asked whether he had to pay hefty year-end income taxes, Myolie interrupted, “He does not need to pay taxes! Isn’t it needless to pay taxes if the income were not earned in Hong Kong?” Kevin became embarrassed about “remedial” taxes, noting, “It is appropriate to pay taxes. Anyhow, I am a good value!” Myolie also admitted that her market value increased after winning the TV Queen title. She hoped that upon reviewing her savings balance in the future, there will be a bright glare.

Myolie Congratulates Shirley Yeung’s Pregnancy

Shirley Yeung (楊思琦) was reportedly expecting the birth of her first baby in the United States. Myolie congratulated Shirley and noted that having a baby was a happy occurrence and becoming a mother was a huge responsibility and dedication. Asked whether she had discussed the issue with Bosco, Myolie said, “Not so soon. We did not talk about such matters!”

Kevin indicated that he always liked children and will save [his current] watches for his children. Myolie said, “Bless you! You will have children very quickly!”

Myolie Wu pockets 5.4 million RMB to shoot a new HunanTV series

Since Myolie Wu was crowned TVB's TV Queen, her career has been sailing smoothly and is even heading into the 'RMB' (Chinese Yuan) surge! According to reliable sources, Myolie has become a favorite of a Mainland boss. Initially she was offered 100,000 RMB per episode to shoot a new series under the company, but after her TV Queen victory, Mainland company 'LaFeng Entertainment' successfully won Myolie over. LaFeng offered Myolie almost doubled, 180,000 RMB per episode (5.4 million RMB for the entire series) to shoot their new series 金玉滿堂 and won the bid in a single attempt. This series is also scheduled to broadcast on the currently most influential Hunan TV. Looks like Myolie can become as popular in Mainland as Startling Step by Step's Kevin Cheng at any time!

Of course Myolie's management, TVB, wants to help their 'daughter' pave a 'gold digging' path. Hunan TV is known to have several hundred million Mainland viewers and many advertisers choose their spokesperson through Hunan TV to help sell their products. Since new series 金玉滿堂 is a path of earning big money, it is expected that TVB will try their best to get Myolie this opportunity. Everything may be going smoothly for Myolie, but because shooting 金玉滿堂 will take up most of her time, it was rumored the Mainland boss is upset since she won't have time to accept any other series.

Reporters contacted Myolie to get the details of the news. Yesterday she responded over the phone: "I have never seen that 'boss' mentioned in the rumor. There is no such thing! In fact, whatever series I shoot is arranged by TVB. (But you will have to be back in TVB to shoot Triumph in the Skies II in May, will you have time?) TVB will help me with the scheduling. Work is my priority, I don't mind suffering a bit!" Myolie anticipates the series broadcasting on Hunan TV because this TV station has their own Mainland market and is a highly influential station. It was said Jade Palace Lock Heart, which was broadcast on Hunan TV earlier, Myolie was invited to participated in that series before, but because she was shooting TVB's Curse of the Royal Harem at the time, she had no time to take part in it. This time, Myolie took a huge detour and finally gets to appear on this TV station after all. Yesterday Myolie expressed she and Hunan TV has a collaborating relationship: "A few years ago, TVB and Hunan TV jointly produced Strictly Come Dancing, I participated in it too. It was a very enjoyable collaboration, so this time, with the series broadcasting on Hunan TV, I anticipate it as well."

Kevin Cheng will be cautious when meeting Mainland girls

The new TV King Kevin Cheng turns into LAW BA once again to shoot a scene in Sham Shui Po for new series Ghetto Justice II with TV Queen Myolie Wu. Kevin expressed shooting for this series will complete next Tuesday, then he will head to Mainland to shoot another series immediately after. Asked if he's getting 160,000 yuan per episode like the rumors say? He said: "It's really not just that amount!"

A few days ago, it was rumored that Niki Chow and her rich boyfriend broke up, Kevin was asked if he had comforted her? He said: "When I see her, I will. Actually, no need because we already met at Toby Leung's wedding. I chatted with her, she looks totally fine, no need to be comforted." Perhaps he should consider re-sparking with her? He embarrassingly said: "This is quite an interesting question."

When Kevin gets to Mainland to shoot series, is he afraid he'll bring trouble upon himself just like how Ron Ng and Raymond Lam did? He said: "Now we can't tar somebody with the same brush. There are all kinds of people in this world, aside from having to meet people wisely, you also have to see how your luck is. See if you meet a good girl or a girl with motives. I hope everyone can put on their glasses when meeting people." Will he reduce his opportunities to meet Mainland girls? He said: "I don't agree with this. If it's said like that, we are offending the millions of people in Mainland. It is just there is a larger population in Mainland, so there is a higher likelihood to meet a girl with motives. This is a human nature problem, can't just randomly label Mainland or Taiwanese girls. It is unfair to them." Will he choose to be careful or just choose HK girls? He said: "In fact, I want to ask you all for what reason do you believe there aren't these types of girls in HK? After all, must be careful when meeting girls. I will first treat them as normal friends, no need to rush. Test the waters first."

When speaking of personal privacy, Kevin said usually he uses two cell phones, one is for work and one is for personal use. Nobody knows his passwords. Asked if he would take intimate photos with his phone? He said after the shocking incident that occurred several years ago (referring to Edison Chen's scandal), he believes the majority won't retain these types of photos. Kevin feels the safest is to store everything inside the brain, and there is temporarily no new discoveries that can replicate the brain's memory.

Myolie Wu was asked if she's rushing to get off work, so she can celebrate Bosco Wong's birthday? She said: "Can't celebrate! He is very busy, have to shoot series and the Lunar New Year film. He is the happiest when he has work." Wouldn't her boyfriend be happier to see her? She smiled sweetly: "Work is rather important!" Will she wish Bosco to become the next TV King? She said: "I hope both TV King and Film King. I wish him good health and a smooth career. As for what birthday gift I'm giving him, of course it is a secret."

Myolie supports 'When Heaven Burns', a good show

As TVB series When Heaven Burns is getting low ratings, and may have to get cut? Myolie strongly supported: "It won't! It definitely won't! I support a series that is of a different genre and special. It's really boring to see the same old characters. Now of course this will have TV rating pressures, but I just feel When Heaven Burns is a very good series." She expressed Ghetto Justice II will also have the same TV rating pressure because the last series had such good ratings, and also features TV King and Queen as well as 'Best Supporting Actress' Sharon Chan. Myolie will just have to do her best and hope to maintain the good ratings.

Myolie Wu: With him by my side... it's such a blessing!

Pulling through 12 years, Myolie Wu finally gets TVB's TV Queen title. Over the years, Bosco Wong has given her the love and assistance she needed to get through the tough times in her career. All along, Myolie was unwilling to admit she was in a relationship with Bosco, but finally after being crowned queen, she confessed her love to the "man behind her" Bosco. Her one comment, "I know I am hard to bear, but you are also very hard to bear. I hope we can mutually bear one another" led to everyone cheering that they should get married. However, Myolie puts work as her priority and rationally expressed the award and marriage are two different matters, therefore she temporarily declines to marriage.

Myolie says: "Of course I am very happy to have received this award, but many people told us to get marry. I just feel the award and marriage are two different matters. I just got the award, wait until I do more acting first. I'm sure my fans are already happy enough to see me get the award, I don't need to get married yet! Because if I get marry so fast, I will have to play mother roles. I still want to collaborate with many good actors/actresses...like 'Man Lui' Sheren Tang.....so, marriage is one of the big events in life, I want to take my time!

Depressed personality and emotional

When I'm done talking about not getting married, then many people would come ask me, then what does it mean when I said "its hard to bear"? Actually, it is because of my depressed personality, I am a pesimist. I treat everything I do and everything people say seriously. I get emotional with people... I know I am hard to bear. But as an artist, you must be more worried for it to work! Because artists basically are a little crazy ('shot shot dei')! As for him (Bosco), what about him that is so hard to bear? I don't want to talk too much about other people! Let him say it himself!

Infected by Bosco's happiness

The only bad thing I exposed about Bosco was that his tongue is short! In fact, men with short tongues is not important, if he has other good aspects then it's fine! Bosco is very positive around people, he knows how to get along well with people and can make everyone around him happy. People would think he's very friendly. He's also a good actor, been a hard worker all along. Although his looks gives people the impression that he's not a hard worker, but in fact it is opposite! Also, he has many other strengths, we match. It is really because of his happiness that infected me. I am very pesstimistic, he's optimistic, so it's like one out, the other in, we balance out when we come together.

Exposes Bosco's good cooking skills

Aside from his cheerful personality, Bosco is also a good cook. He is very good at cooking. Stuff like making pasta is nothing big, even if he's making soup out of a can, he has to add ingredients. Even salt water clams isn't a challenge for him! It's because he learned cooking in the hawker stalls when he was young. On the contrary, I have very limited knowledge, so I can never enter his kitchen. Sometimes I feel useless, seeing him so good at cooking, I lose interest when I get pushed out of the kitchen. However, it's nice to have someone like him around, so blessed!

Bosco Wong: Myolie's acting isn't too appropriate

As Myolie's boyfriend, Bosco Wong's status is finally confirmed. Of course this is a happy thing. Bosco frankly said he was surprised by his girlfriend's love confession that night: "I really didn't know she would be saying that kind of stuff beforehand. She frightened me! But I am very happy for her, seeing that she got the award. When talking about being rushed into marriage, we don't have plans yet. (7 year itch?) Myolie can help me scratch it off, then no itch! We both like working in this industry, let's do more acting first!"

Myolie exposed he was hard to bear, Bosco also did not hesitate to say Myolie is too negative: "Her negative energy is too strong! Trying to kill someone?! This is something about Myolie that I think is hard to bear. Sometimes when she's acting, it's not too appropriate. I tell her, so she'll feel unhappy and start yelling! (TV Queen's acting is not appropriate?) Not sure if she watched too many Stephen Chow movies, but sometimes when she's acting, she needs some personalization. She doesn't have enough of that! It is just a type of reminder! When I feel my advices are right, I won't go and try to cheer her up. Perhaps this is called 'soft-skinned snake' (slow and cunning). If she gets upset, then let her. If she wants to yell, then let her! So that's why she said I'm hard to bear!"

Myolie Wu clarifies 'restroom declaration' wasn't a love confession

TVB Anniversary Awards 2011 ended the night before. The hot favorites Kevin Cheng and Myolie Wu were crowned the new TV King and Queen and won the majority of audiences' agreement. However, there are still a group of audience that felt pity for 'Laughing Gor' Michael Tse leaving empty-handed. There were also complaints to TVB that the results were unfair.

That night, Myolie personally forked out some money for a celebration. She and Kevin, the cast and crew of Ghetto Justice, Virgina Lok, Bosco Wong, Joyce Cheng and her boyfriend were partying until 4am. Bosco's mother was also present to take a look at her future daughter-in-law. JJ Jia, who is currently shooting Ghetto Justice 2 was so happy for Myolie that she got drunk. When she was leaving, she was slightly out of control while she was getting into Myolie's car.

Unhappy times, luckily Bosco was there

Yesterday afternoon, Myolie attended the Curse of the Royam Harem celebration, she laughed and expressed her acceptance speech at the awards show was not a love confession. It is just a 'restroom declaration'. Myolie said: "I actually wanted to say I want to share the happiness with him (Bosco), but I blurted out he was hard to bear first." She admitted that day when she heard Bosco Wong joking to reporters that he's going to run to the restoom when they announce her TV Queen award, she felt slightly unhappy. Perhaps she's took things too seriously, but fortunately Bosco didn't actually leave for the restroom. Asked what is so hard to bear between her and Bosco? She said she is too serious, while Bosco is not serious enough. Now that she fulfilled her TV Queen wish, is the next step marriage planning? She said she has honestly never thought about it, but is actually focused on her work. Does she want Bosco to get TV King too? She said: "He's so good at acting, should be soon!"

In 2006, Myolie was nominated for TV Queen for her role in To Grow With Love, but sadly lost in the competition. Thereafter, she had a period of down time. She said that time everyone thought she wanted to fight for the award, which made the whole situation so serious. She knew herself that she wasn't qualified enough. Later after portraying many different roles, she felt it was hard to make a breakthrough and it felt like she hit a black hole. It was only until when she was shooting The Rippling Blossom with Chilam Cheung and Damian Lau that she felt a new life started. She said during the times she was unhappy, Bosco had been closely bearing with her. Asked if she officially recognized her relationship with Bosco when she got the TV Queen title? Myolie laughed and said she had recognized it.

Kevin said his heart was beating fast when they announced he won the TV King award. He expressed the competition this year is very strong, there were too many possibilities. He is most happy with how people agreed to him getting TV King this time.

Myolie Wu Prays to Win 'Best Actress'

Just crowned Malaysia's "TV Queen," Myolie Wu is going to compete in the same category next week for TVB's anniversary awards. Lately the stressed actress went to a Buddhist's monastery along with the producer of her nominated series "Curse of the Royal Harem." She was seen praying to Buddha and also receivd a little Buddha statue from the master. Most importantly, the master even predicted its a sure win for the actress!

Asked whether she is confident in winning, Myolie said: "Yeah, because people keep voting as the drama keep airing. Actually in the beginning of the broadcast I was quite nervous. I was afraid viewers wouldn't like me as a villain. But thank goodness, the character seems accepted by everyone."

Talked about other nominees, Myolie said: "I think everyone is good. Each of us has her good points. The chance of winning depends on timing and other factors."

Myolie Wu Lost All Confidence And Considered Giving Up Acting

Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) entered the entertainment industry after winning the 1999 Miss Hong Kong Second Runner-up title. Since entering TVB as a 19 year-old student, Myolie possessed numerous opportunities. Portraying a mentally challenged person in 2002’s Golden Faith "流金歲月", Myolie flashed her brilliance. In 2006, Myolie gained 40 pounds in 3 months to act in To Grow With Love "肥田囍事", which grabbed the masses’ interest. However, this “representative work” also became Myolie’s nightmare.

To Grow With Love did not bring any awards upon Myolie and eroded her confidence in her acting abilities instead. Myolie was also heavily criticized by netizens in only possessing a “gwing” expression (囧樣) during that period, leading her to question whether she was suitable in being an actress.

In 2010, Myolie finally stepped out of the haze and became the hot favorite to win the TV Queen title this year. Whether it was netizens’ preference or TVB management’s decision, Myolie noted that she resumed confidence in herself. Despite being nominated for her role in Curse of the Royal Harem "萬凰之王" instead of the more popular Ghetto Justice "怒火街頭" , this did not decrease her chances in winning the Best Actress Award.

The reporter conducted an interview with Bobby Au Yeung (歐陽震華) earlier and asked who he supported to win the TV Queen title. Without thinking, Bobby uttered Myolie’s name. Aside from their harmonious collaboration in House of Harmony and Vengeance "耀舞長安", Bobby noted, “Myolie told me that she did not feel that she possessed fate with the audience. She said she had lost confidence in herself. I watched her performance in The Rippling Blossom "魚躍在花見" and felt that she acted quite well, showing much improvement! I have a tendency to root out the strong to protect the weak, so I support Myolie!”

Stuck With the “Gwing” Label

After listening to Bobby’s praise towards her, Myolie was moved, “I am very happy and thank Bobby for his support!” The reporter asked why Myolie had confided in Bobby in such a manner since she often projected a sense of confidence and did not come across as an insecure person. It turned out that since To Grow With Love, Myolie’s career had halted and did not advance forward. The outside world thought that perhaps Myolie was dragged down by the “gwing” label” however, the real source of pain came from elsewhere.

Myolie stated, “In 2006, when I was somewhat considered to be a new artist, I filmed To Grow With Love. TVB suddenly added an extra award at the TVB Anniversary Awards that year. At the time, I knew there was no chance that I would win the Best Actress Award over Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼). As there was one big award and one small award, I thought I might have a chance in winning the small award since I had endured so much for To Grow With Love! However, I did not win any awards that evening. At the time, I did not mind losing, but I never thought that I would lose at such a low level! From that point onwards, I lost all confidence in myself. In the past, I had good audience fate, but suddenly I lost it all!”

Will Not Film Any More Comedies

Over the last few years, the audience felt that Myolie only acted with a gwing expression. The truth was that she had considered giving up, “At the time, I did not have confidence in any of the roles I acted in and kept questioning myself. I wondered whether I was truly so terrible and whether it was suitable to remain an actress? I felt very lost while filming War and Beauty "亂世佳人", The Master of Tai Chi "太極" and When a Dog Loves a Cat "當狗愛上貓". I was stuck in a bottleneck and could not surge past it. It was a very painful period. Afterward, my family recounted the experience, noting that I was emotionally turbulent. Fortunately, my sister was a counselor and often provided encouragement, helping me overcome this low point.”

After encountering such a low point in her life, Myolie cherished today’s peak much more. As TVB and netizens’ hot favorite to win the Best Actress Award, Myolie thanked them for their support. In addition, Myolie noted that her costars in The Rippling Blossom, Damien Lau (劉松仁) and Chilam Cheung (張智霖), helped her regain confidence in acting again. “I learned a lot from Damien Lau and Chilam Cheung. Perhaps I had filmed too many similar roles in the past. Going forward, I hope to portray roles similar to Curse of the Royal Harem "萬凰之王". Perhaps let someone else act in the romantic comedies!”

Asked whether she possessed confidence in winning the TV Queen Award, Myolie said, “My confidence level is 80%. If I were to win, I hope it is not based on seniority and wish that it is due to the audience’s support!”

Bosco Wong Is Not Good Enough

Although 32-year-old Myolie Wu was in a stable relationship with Bosco Wong (黃宗澤), she did not possess the urge to get married. “I am still young; even Charmaine Sheh is continuing to take great leaps forward in her career at 35-years-old! Let’s wait another 3 or 4 years first!” Asked whether she had settled upon Bosco as her marriage partner, Myolie laughed and said that Bosco was not good enough and needed time to consider carefully. “You can never be good enough in this aspect. There is always room for improvement; he knows that fully well!”
