Having mutual understanding with Charmaine Sheh, Kevin Cheng desires marriage

Added Oct 1, 2008 - Kevin's interview @Ebuzz Special thanks to Bebe for recording the interview. Note: This article is strictly limited to Sehseh’s Blog only. Please do not repost it elsewhere. Thank you for your co-operation. [The Sun 30/09/2008] Recently Kevin Cheng has been accused of leaving Niki Chow for Charmaine Sheh. He did not make explanation on the rumors – is he not afraid of affecting his image? During Kevin's interview for [MR] magazine: "In my opinion, love is a matter between two person, I do not want to do the unnecessary for other people." He stressed that he is searching for a girl that he could love wholeheartedly and allows him to peacefully strives on in his career. Discussing on his future partner, Kevin hopes that she is an intelligent girl and could communicate with him. He stressed again that he is a faithful person, he will stay and protect his love, seemingly hinting something. About his ideal of a wonderful life, he said: "Life will be wonderful with a fulfilling marriage. My dream is to have children and outstanding career. I am now working hard toward this goal." Coincidentally Charmaine also expressed this to friends. In addition, Charmaine's old flame Benny Chan returned from Chongqing to Hong Kong last night and when he was asked regarding the rumor of Charmaine meeting Kevin amidst scale 8 tropical storm resulting in car breaking down and hence exposing their relationship, Benny laughed and said: "How to reply? You should ask her!" There's also a tabloid magazine dragging Anita Yuen into Charmaine's rumors, quoting that Anita angrily said that she is going to 'stab' Charmaine for revenge. Regarding this news Anita and husband Chilam Cheung laughed and said that they were not upset, and thanked the tabloid for the 'promotion'. Anita joked that the tabloid's original intention is to create news about Charmaine, but now the spotlight has pointed to her. Her words are taken out of context and she is afraid of getting warned by police (for threatening to 'stab' LOL). She smiled and expressed helplessness, saying that the tabloid should quote her words from MHK days, so that she can remember her beautiful memory. She also said that Kevin and Charmaine are both single, if they are really dating Chilam and her will wish them well. Sehseh: My take on the issue is still the same - please do not gossip and let the news die down. It doesn't matter if Charmaine is indeed dating Kevin or not, what matters is her happiness and as Kevin indicated, love is a personal matter between 2 person. I trust that Charmaine will let us know when the day she marry Mr Right arrived. By the way - TVB Anniversary will be having new award category this year, which include TVB Blog Popularity Awards are given according to site hits, with Raymond Lam and Charmaine Sheh leading! So please visit Charmaine's TVB blog!

Charmaine Sheh and Moses Chan becomes new drama idol in Korea

[Sina 27/09/08] On the afternoon of September 24, TVB held a press conference to commemorate their collaboration channel with CMB (Korea cable TV). Charmaine Sheh, Moses Chan and 10 plus popular TVB artistes attended the event Miss Chinese International 2008 2nd runner up Aileen Xu also sang 《小小》. According to information, CMB and TVB launched TVB Korea since February 1st in order to introduce popular TVB series to Korean audiences. TVB artistes have also become new idols in the eyes of Korean audiences. Costume action series is most popular TVB series are well known for genres such as tycoon rivalries, life dramas and costume action series. Since TVB Korea was launched, they manage to penetrate the monopoly of Korean idol series, especially Raymond Lam's costume series which is loved by Korean audiences. TVB artistes feeling positive on collaboration During the press conference, TVB artistes such as Charmaine Sheh, Moses Chan, Kevin Cheng, Bosco Wong, Ron Ng, Tavia Yeung etc attended the event. Moses expressed that he admires the performance of Korean child actors, while Charmaine said that she loves [The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince]. Ron looks forward to [The Four] being broadcasted in Korea: "Korean audiences like to watch costume action series." Miss Chongqing singing performance Another spotlight in the event is Miss Chinese International 2008 2nd runner up Aileen Xu. This 1.78 meter tall beauty from Chongqing participated in CMB’s [Youth Singing Contest] earlier. Young singing talents from all over the world, ranging for 14 to 22 years old joined the contest. Aileen does not disappoint and won the contest. She will be soon hosting home interior show for TVB8. If reposted, please give due credit. CMB is a subscription channel in Korea, just like Malaysia's Astro Wah Lai Toi. TVB series will be dubbed into Korean before being broadcasted. Saying that they are new idol in Korea is a bit too early, since drama airing is already very competitive in free TV such as MBC, SBS etc - it will be harder for TVB to penetrate the market through cable TV. p.s.

Charmaine @ Top Gear Car Magazine Party

Charmaine Sheh: I'm not jesting with you anymore! [The Sun, Oriental Daily 27/09/2008] Yesterday Charmaine Sheh and Bowie Lam attended Top Gear car magazine event. On stage, she revealed that she dislike being tailed by reporters the most. Asked if she will speed off to get rid of them, she indicate that safety is most important: "If they want to follow you, you can't get rid of them anyway." When she was asked regarding the allegation of her being caught in Kevin Cheng's car during scale 8 tropical storm, Charmaine indicate that she has already responded to this and therefore will not discuss this matter anymore. However, when reporters told her that Kevin showed embarrassment and 'black face' when responding to this rumor, Charmaine smiled and said: "Could it because I look fair, while he's tanned from the sun (referring to them calling him black)? (Will you give Kevin a ride to work?) He doesn't need me to drive him. (But his car broke down!) I'm not jesting with you anymore!" Charmaine turned and left afterward. On the other hand, Bowie's series [The Gem of Life] is going to be aired as TVB anniversary series next month. When asked if he is worried of the ratings, he replied: "No, the most important thing is that the audiences enjoyed watching the series." If reposted, please give due credit. The reporters are so annoying. I love Charmaine in her red jacket, it's nice seeing her in casuals.

Charmaine Sheh ready for new relationship, Kevin Cheng is a good guy

Important: Please do not repost the article. There's plenty of 'news coverage' out there and I will appreciate it if we stop adding mud to murky water. Thank you for your co-operation. [Mingpao 25/09/08] 'Rumor Queen' Charmaine Sheh gathered together with rumored boyfriends Kevin Cheng, Ron Ng and Joe Ma at [TVB-CMB Alliance New Long Journey] press conference yesterday. TVB will be collaborating with South Korea CMB channel and more than 10 TVB artistes attended the conference. However, Charmaine became the spotlight due to a handful of her rumored boyfriends taking pictures with her. Before entering the studio, Charmaine was chatting happily with her old rumored boyfriend Joe in the makeup room and reporters were already dogging her. Upon entering the studio, she was seated next to Moses Chan and two seats away from Kevin. She casually chatted with Moses, while Kevin showed an uncomfortable expression. Sensing something amiss, Moses quickly stood up and closes the gap between them in order to allow the reporters to take pictures of them together. Though this have created a buzz in the crowd, but the blushing Charmaine maintained her smile while Kevin have a tight expression, his smile is a bit forced. As the event commence, Joe and Ron entered and took their respective seats. Though Kevin is seated next to her, Charmaine did not converse with him but instead chatted with Joe who sat in another row. At the end of the event, the artistes were arranged to take group picture on the stage. Charmaine and Ron was held by the reporters to take pictures and created another buzz in the atmosphere. Kevin stayed grouped with fellow actors and went to the side of the stage, laughing in secret. Reporters discovered that Kevin is going to leave the venue and asked him not to leave yet. TVB executive Virginia Lok stopped Kevin and hinted to him to take picture with Charmaine and Ron, therefore he obediently stepped on the stage. Upon seeing the reporters frenziedly snapping pictures, other TVB managers helped the trio by pulling their actors to take group pictures with Charmaine. In the end it became [Actors group picture with Charmaine Sheh]. Kevin expressed that he is not embarrassed appearing together with Charmaine. When pointed out that his smiling is a bit forced, he explained: "That is because you rarely see me. I always smiled like this! I don't mind taking pictures with Charmaine, there are plenty of opportunities in the future. We will meet again in upcoming TVB anniversary events." The scale 8 tropical storm could not stop Kevin and Charmaine meeting as according to some villagers, Kevin's home in Saikung was flooded due to the storm and thus his car broke down. Villagers helped to push the car and Charmaine was in the car. Kevin admitted that his car was broken due to being flooded but did not say that Charmaine was in the car. He indicates that he will not respond to rumors. In comparison, Charmaine was more gracious in her reply. She indicates that she was together with Virginia Lok and a bunch of colleagues in a dinner event with CMB executives. Kevin was also at the dinner. When asked if she took a ride on Kevin's car, she denied: "I live in Hong Kong Island, there's no such thing." She expressed that she is not embarrassed appearing together with her rumored boyfriends. "Just now we took pictures in total chaos, I was more worried being pushed off stage by reporters. If I tripped that will be truly embarrassing." She has already replied to rumors countless time and felt that it was getting boring. If only Benny Chan and Chilam Cheung were at the event yesterday, it will turn into Charmaine's emotional history. Charmaine charmingly but sarcastically replied: "For 10 years, my career history was achieved through hard work, not just rumors." When Charmaine responded to her relationship with Kevin and Ron, there seems to be different rank. She described Kevin as good colleague and friend, while Ron is just colleague and friend. She praised Kevin as a good guy but indicate that he is not pursuing her. "I am still single and is ready to consider new relationship." She seems to be hinting this to the good guy. (Rubbish!) Joe considered his rumors with Charmaine as outdated. On the other hand, Ron was reported drowning his sorrows in alcohol during Mid-Autumn festival. When asked regarding his rumored girlfriend Wong Ying, he laughed at the rumors: "I don't know her. I use the same handphone model with Kenneth Ma, are we gay then? Sharon lived in the same estate, is that considered cohabiting?" Additional translation from Oriental Daily Selena Li does not believe Charmaine seduced Kevin Moses Chan, Tavia Yeung, Selena Li, Lai Lok Yi, Kate Tsui and Kenneth Ma also attended the press conference held by TVBI and CMB. During the event, Selena chatted happily with Charmaine. Selena revealed that she have become friends with Charmaine after filming [When Easterly Showers Fall On the Sunny West]. When asked about Charmaine's rumor with Kevin, Selena said: "The rumors cannot be taken seriously. (Did you ask Charmaine?) There is no need, but to me Kevin doesn't seems to be Charmaine's type." On the other hand, Moses was arranged to seat in between the rumored pair Charmaine and Kevin. The reporters kept asking Moses to give up his seat and Moses later agreed but the atmosphere turned awkward. Later, Moses expressed: "Stuck between the rumored pair, they are not chatting therefore I gave up my seat to allow the reporters to finish their 'homework'." Please do not repost. Thank you. The media sure had a field day yesterday. By the way, Charmaine isn't exactly blushing. She's suffering from skin allergy (perhaps due to the weather change?). Clips posted below.

Charmaine Sheh doesn't mind taking pictures with Kevin Cheng

Clip credit to AH-SHEH.COM Clip credit to Charmaine Baidu Forum Clip credit to www.shehsheh.com Clip from Charmaine's TVB Blog [Mingpao 24/09/2008] After being linked to Ron Ng earlier, Charmaine Sheh was accused being the 3rd party in Kevin Cheng and Niki Chow's 5 years relationship. Coincidentally, Niki who was troubled by the rumors appeared 'depressed' in front of others. The leading actress Charmaine's mood is quite good today and she formally responds to the rumors. She said that she would not mind taking pictures with Kevin when they meet. This is a big contrast with Niki and it seems like the reason behind the rumors is slowly being revealed. Charmaine attended the costume fitting for new TVB series [Enterprise Doctor] yesterday. She looked refreshed and indicates that she is in good mood as she has just spent 3 months of holiday. Her mum also returned from Hawaii to accompany her and in addition of that, she got another kitten into her household. She is not affected by the rumors. "I'm concentrating in my career now. I need to concentrate and prepare myself working the witty Dayo Wong." Deny buying neck scarf, will not be embarrassed when meeting Being labelled as [Flirty Sheh] due to the rumours, Charmaine's reaction is quite big: "What? Just call me Ah Sheh please!" Asked if Kevin has called her to vent his frustrations, she replied: "How come he's complaining to me? I don't know about the story development, I've only read the first news report (in order to respond), the rest I didn't follow up." She revealed that she will be attending an event with Kevin and Ron today. She is not worried of any embarrassment when they meet and she won't decline taking pictures together. "It's important for artistes to take pictures, you will have to worry of no one takes pictures of you." Doesn't know if Ron is pursuing Wong Ying Recently there was a report saying that Charmaine and Kevin was seen kissing passionately at a bar. Charmaine replied: "That was made up (fake)." When asked if she have many people following her, she laughs and says: "I have many crazy friends instead, like Michael Tse who love to joke." Regarding the report of her buying neck scarf for Kevin, she explained: "I'm so mad! I don't know what happened! I didn't buy anything, I just walked past that shop. The funniest thing is that they said my sister drove my car, that is actually my mum." Charmaine said that her mum is already used to these rumors therefore she never questioned Charmaine about it. "I'm enjoying my life as single at the moment. However my younger brother is ahead of me by getting married next year, making me feel a bit lament." There were rumors that Timmy Hung has proposed to Janet Chow during their holiday to Maldives. Charmaine felt that it was very romantic and joked that she will work harder. Does she want to change (get married)? "It's not something that you could just wish, it's a two way street." As for the news of her another rumored boyfriend Ron Ng chasing after the voluptuous MHK 2006 dropout Wong Ying, Charmaine frankly said that she has not seen the news, but she is still very supportive: "The area he stayed in has many buildings, you cannot simply accuse him. Plus there is no picture evidence. If he personally admits having a girlfriend, I will congratulate him." Dayo is also a victim of the milk scandal Dayo will be paired up with Charmaine in the new series and he was asked if he is afraid of attracting rumours. "I did not follow up closely, I do not know about their development. Outsiders should not gossips." Mentioning the recent stock crisis, Dayo admit that he also have some investment and will endure the trying time with fellow HK citizens. Regarding the milk scandal, Dayo self admit that he is also a victim. "Look at me, of course I am affected because I'm so thin! I love drinking milk, turns out that the milk I drink is actually melamine flavour." If reposted, please give due credit. Charmaine look so pretty and refreshed. In the interview clip, Charmaine said that her role is a rich man's daughter who owns the wonton noodle company. Her company ended up in debts because she turned into a shopaholic after breaking up with her boyfriend. Lol... Dayo said that he will work hard to create rumors with Charmaine (earlier he joked that he will be embarrassed if he did not have rumors with her when all her co-stars have). I have changed the title to Enterprise Doctor because I agree with Em (from Batgwa) that Enterprise sounds more professional for the chinese title. Anyway, I'm glad that Charmaine faced the rubbish rumors positively. One reporter asked her if she mind being called a flirt (or a sl*t), I was like - what the hell - which lady on earth would like that?! If someone said that to my face I will slap them. Of course, my EQ not as high as Charmaine. The rumor with Kevin should die down now, since the tabloid story has moved on and indicate that Niki was the one who spread the rumor for revenge. As usual, if it's none of our business, there's no need to discuss further. There will be a large scale press conference at TVB later today to mark the collaboration between TVB and CMB; a South Korea cabel channel. Looking forward for more gorgeous pics of our dear Charmaine! p.s. In the clip, Charmaine said she want to get married/proposed to in Greece.

HKJure poster ads, marketing campaigns etc

I know many of the fans are worried and concerned about Charmaine - do not worry too much, she can handle her personal matters. I hope fans will not be over-emotional and partake in unnecessary arguments with anti-fans. Just stay cool and as always, the rumors will die down soon enough. If there is any culprit who is spreading the rumours for their own personal agenda, I hope karma will bite them in their arse(s).

Charmaine Sheh becomes the spokesperson for Mainland China premiere cosmetics brand

Recently, Hong Kong TVB leading actress Charmaine Sheh quietly came to Shanghai to attend the promotional event for Mei Lan. This is Charmaine's first time in endorsing a Mainland China cosmetics brand. Allegedly, Charmaine's endorsement fee exceeded 7-figure sum. This is the result of her increased popularity from TVB series aired in Mainland China from recent years. In year 2000, Charmaine became popular overnight due to [Return of the Cuckoo] and in 2004, and her popularity was increased in Mainland China after [War and Beauty]. She holds the title of double TV Queen after winning TVB Best Actress and Favorite Female Character award. In the past few years she have worked in collaboration series such as [Dance of Passion] and [The Drive of Life]. She will be filming another series soon in October. This trip to Mainland China is considered a warm up before starting a new series. Insider revealed that Charmaine silently arrived in Shanghai on September 8th. As this is Charmaine's first time endorsing Mainland China cosmetics brand, she purposely came to film the TV advertisement and photo stills for Mei Lan brand and attended the press conference on September 10th. To avoid affecting her work, she kept her arrival in Shanghai a secret and even the sensitive media reporters have not detected anything. Having 80 years old fan, Charmaine felt lucky On the 8th, Charmaine arrived in Shanghai to take part in Mei Lan advertisement filming. When she arrived at the outdoor location, a crew worker was told that an 80 years old fan wish to take a picture with her. Charmaine was surprised. The granny has some difficulties in walking and she became very excited when she saw Charmaine. To avoid overexciting the granny further, crewmembers waited outside the room while Charmaine and her assistants accompanied her. When asked about her feelings having such an elderly fan, Charmaine expressed happiness and that she is very lucky (to have such fans). Pictures credit to Sina Forum. Special thanks to Charmaine Baidu Forum. More pictures credit to Charmaine Sheh Baidu Forum: Two more pics: (Added Sept 22) Looking forward seeing her Mei Lan adverts soon! Anyway, please note that I have made some changes from the original article by omitting some over the top remarks. And DOP is not a collaboration series. Updated: Meiland TV ad clip: p.s. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Kevin Cheng admits break up, Charmaine Sheh expressed her view

Note: The title is very misleading, Kevin never mentioned about breaking up nor he admits dating anyone. The article is not entirely reliable, since reporters tend to add salt and vinegar to spice up their article. If you wish to re-post, please do so with care. [The Sun 12/09/2008] [Kevin-Charmaine love] is currently the hot topic and 'leading actor' Kevin Cheng are accused of two-timing. A filming crew exposed that Kevin has been calling and sending SMS to Niki Chow in hope of saving their relationship. However, Kevin's co-start Leanne Li comment "A long time ago" on Kevin-Charmaine relationship has made others suspicious. After Kevin and Charmaine's rumors spread, [Burning Flame 3] crew member divulged that Kevin often make calls and SMS, looking very anxious and seemingly trying to patch up with Niki. On the other hand, Niki seems to be weary and lost appetite to eat. Yesterday 5pm, Niki have just finished filming [Snooker King] in Yaumatei quickly hangs up her phone after noticing some reporters waiting in the area. Kevin and Leanne remained evasive while filming [Burning Flame 3] early this morning. However, when co-star Leanne was asked to comment on [Kevin-Charmaine], she slipped: "A long time ago!" When reporters pressed her for explanation, she knew she made a mistake and said: "When someone is dating, they will be extra happy, expressed within their heart. I don't feel this from Kevin." Admitting there are chance to meet The 'leading actress' Charmaine Sheh breaks her silence and replied for the first time: "I can tell you that I don't have boyfriend at the moment! I am good friends with Kevin and Ron Ng, three of us are TVB managed therefore we often have chance to meet. I also know that they don't have girlfriend." When asked if she will avoid meeting them, Charmaine indicate that she won't and praised both of them: "They are really good guys. Ron keep things to himself and doesn't reply (to the reporter) most of the time, therefore he kept being accused. Kevin is very stable, he knows how to take care of other people and give a sense of security." Asked if she would accept being pursued since she is currently single: "I don't know about the future, we are just friends at the moment. I also want to find a shoulder to rely on! However, now is the golden period to work, I don't have time to develop relationship!" Stressed that he is not two-timing As for Kevin, he finally made an explanation yesterday and stressed that he is not a two timing person: "I haven't contacted Niki for quite some time! (Does that mean you broke up?) We did not communicate for a long time." Hinting that they have broken up for quite some time. Regarding rumors of him sending SMS to Niki to patch up, Kevin denied this but admitted he have called Niki, as they are still friends. "In my past relationships, I only start a new relationship after I have ended the first one. Now I am working hard to find my other half. I hope to have children and build my own family. I am no longer young, I really envy Roger Kwok who have his own career, family and children." About Charmaine and Niki, Kevin praised them both as good friends and on-screen partner. Asked about his relationship with Charmaine, Kevin stressed that they are not dating. Whether they have chances to develop further, he smiles and said: "Any single ladies out there have chances." Ron Ng commented: "The previous rumors about me and Charmaine is absurd enough, and now it's evolved to multi-triangle relationship. Now is my golden period to work, I do not wish for further rumors and I don't care how other used it as publicity. The conclusion is to let it die down and please do not repeat again." Additional translation from Apple Daily: Charmaine Sheh: Do not wish to be used Charmaine is still at Shanghai when she accepted the long distance call from reporter: "I am good friends with Kevin and Ron, we often have chance to work together, having meals together. To my knowledge they don't have girlfriend. I am also single at the moment. Though both of them are good guys, we are only good friends. I will not start avoiding anyone and I look forward for working collaboration in the future. However, I do not wish to be used by other people for publicity." Kevin Cheng also replied through phone: "All along I only start a new relationship after I have ended the first one. I do not practice two-timing. I'm no longer young, I also want to build my own family and have children. However I am still searching for my other half. If I have found one I will let you know." Additional translation from Oriental Daily TVB Production Resources executive Virginia Lok expressed that she knows her contracted artistes Charmaine, Kevin and Ron very well and are sure that they are not two-timing people. In private, their relationship are very close like siblings. Going out for meals are normal and they are not involved in multi-triangle relationship. They treasure what they have gained from working so hard. If reposted, please give due credit. Finally, Charmaine gave her feedback on this issue. I hope everyone is happy, especially the reporters who could have ruined her holiday and the atmosphere of her younger brother's wedding in Shanghai. I also pity Kevin. The rumor was blown out of proportion by haters and insecure Kevin-Niki's fans, who started to flame Kevin and accuse Charmaine of nonsense in forums, especially in Kevin's Baidu Forum. Of course there are also true Kevin fans that stands to the test by having commonsense and sticking to Kevin. Sometimes I wonder if one is truly a fan as they claim they are, or just being a fan of certain pairing. Since everyone gave their feedback, I think we should just rest the case and let it die down.

Kevin Cheng visiting Charmaine Sheh's home at night

Note: The translation is exclusively for Sehseh's Blog only. Please do not repost at other sites. Thank you for your co-operation and please, take the article with a pinch of salt. [Oriental Daily 10/09/2008] Kevin Cheng and Niki Chow are recognized as a perfect match by the public, however it seems that their relationship is in grave danger. Rumours have it that [Dey Jing] Charmaine Sheh has turned her back on rumoured boyfriend Ron Ng to be together with Kevin, complicating the already confusing 4 side love relationship! Kevin who is currently busy filming new series was discovered buying take-out meals and rushed to Charmaine’s apartment in North Point, seizing time to meet. Both Charmaine and Kevin were crowned as TV King and Queen in 2006 and they did not have any rumors in their previous collaborations. Last year, they portrayed as lovers in [Forensic Heroes 2] and started to exchange romantic glances with each other. However as both of them already have partners, with Charmaine passionately in love with Ron while Kevin's relationship with Niki is very strong. Therefore despite having good impression of each other, their relationship maintained as close friends. Until [FH2] was released in June, Charmaine and Kevin met more frequently due to promotional activities and private celebrations by the series crew. Both of them could not conceal their feelings anymore. Coincidentally, Niki have to stay in Mainland China for a prolonged period to film [The Book and the Sword]. Kevin and Charmaine started to date openly, even a lot of people in TVB knew about this. Accordingly, Charmaine did not hide her relationship and revealed to her close friends that she is currently dating Kevin. It became an open secret among their friends. The 33 years old Charmaine expressed to her friends that she wishes to get married, but Ron is a playboy and could not provide her sense of security. On contrary Kevin's personality are stable and mature, therefore it's not difficult for Charmaine to see him as ideal partner. Charmaine's mood has been good lately, not only she disclosed her love relationship to her close friends, she also revealed some clues in her TVB blog for the past half year. Usually the careful Charmaine only posted pictures taken with girls, but with guys she only posted Kevin's. Kevin and Charmaine are willing to bear the accusation of betraying their other half and continue their four-side relationship. Recently reporter discovered that Kevin who is busy filming [Burning Flame 3] did not go back to his home in Saikung to rest but instead rushed to Happy Valley to purchase Japanese take-out and drinks. It seems like he's heading to Charmaine's home to have dinner with her. When Kevin realized that he was followed, he tried to get rid off the reporters by speeding off 120 km/h toward East District at the direction of Charmaine's home in North Point. Afterward, the reporter hurried to Charmaine's apartment building and discovered that Charmaine's seldomly used 7-seater car (Alphard) have just returned home. They suspected that Kevin have switched to her car to reach here. The reporter called Charmaine's phone and she indicates that she is currently not in Hong Kong and hurriedly hangs up. When old flame Benny Chan was mentioned of being rejected of reconciliation, he sounded a little upset: "I never mentioned that (waiting for Charmaine), there was a verbal misunderstanding. (Do you know that Charmaine is meeting Kevin?) I don't know, you should ask the party involved!" Yesterday the reporter attempted to contact Kevin by phone and sms but they have not received reply. Last night Oriental Daily found Kevin filming BF3 in Kowloon and he appeared to be evasive. After he completed filming, he quickly left by Myolie Wu's car. Reporter attempted to ask Kevin on his rumour with Charmaine via sms again, but have not received any feedback to date. As for Niki, her company indicates that she is filming [Snooker King] therefore they could not find her to provide any comments. Take with a pinch of salt? How about a fistful instead? This story is so ridiculous - they don't even have proof that Kevin went to Charmaine's place? It's like that Ron's rumor all over again. Look - I'm not saying that there are zero possibilities of Charmaine going out with her male colleagues BUT at least gives us a concrete proof rather than creating story out of thin air, painting Charmaine a bad image and misleading the public. They take us readers as idiots meh? They shot themselves in the foot because like mentioned, Charmaine is at Shanghai when these so-called rendezvous took place in her Hong Kong apartment. Pity Charmaine, she's already on holiday away from the press but still they want to use her to sell their tabloids. Hmm... maybe it's TVB conspiracy theory to promote The Four (Ron) and Last One Standing (Kevin). Maybe they are really desperate to have her finish her holiday to come back working again - TVB pockets a significant amount of her non-series paycheck, you know?

《当代歌坛》Issue 413: Charmaine the action heroine

Note: The article translation is exclusive to Sehseh's Blog only. Thank you for your co-operation. My apologies if there is any unintentional mistakes. Mag scan credit to wshxwan from Baidu Forum. Part 1: Ms Curvy's hula hoop spirit Persistence is the essence of hula hoop spirit. Making the hula hoop twirl non-stop is one of Charmaine's special technique. Don't compete against her – she will win for sure as she underwent rigorous training since childhood. When Charmaine is small, an Auntie visited her home. The auntie is very pretty and has a curvy body line. Children likes beautiful thing, therefore when Charmaine's mum asked: "Do you like Auntie? Do you want to be as pretty as Auntie in the future?" Charmaine quickly nodded her head and her mum trained her on hula hoop from that point onward. Under her mum's daily 'hypnosis', she kept thinking: The waist is getting smaller, the waist is getting smaller. She practiced twirling hula hoop at least half an hour daily. This exercise requires countless stamina and one will only know when they tried it. It can help you to relieve back strain and refreshes your vitality. Charmaine persisted training for many years and wow, it really resulted in a curvy waist! Ms Curvy could not be realized by dreaming alone, it took Charmaine's unwavering persistence to succeed! For example, last year Charmaine took a holiday break to visit her mum in Hawaii – everyone was so envious because she gets to enjoy the sunny seaside. However, when she returned she also learned a new skill. In three weeks, she learned over 20 type of dishes; 20 of them! When asked aside from learning how to cook, did she find the time to rest and relax? She indicates that she had tonnes of fun. This holiday is indeed worthwhile – the hula hoop spirit is indeed intimidating! Part 2: Courage of an action heroine If you want her to act as a gentle lady, she has no problem with that. If you want her to act as a cop fighting on the street, she has no problem either. Though she doesn’t see herself becoming an action heroine for real, but when she is filming she will not be choosy and film action scenes without delay. The courage to become an actor is by no means meager, nor was it something to be said in words only. Charmaine loves acting, and this mean she loves courage too. During filming [Forensic Heroes 2], her character is someone who will tear off her evening gown and wearing high heels to chase after people. One moment she will be fighting with people on the street, another moment she will go through dangers to rescue others. The company dotes on her and provided a body double for her. However, after the body double completes the wide shot she still need to finish the rest on her own. For someone without basic training in fighting, it might take them half day just to consider jumping down five steps of stair. Charmaine doesn't bring it up until she completes her scene. When the camera is focused on her, she transforms herself into a true action heroine. After filming, she starts to feel a little scared thinking of the previous scenario: Ah, luckily didn't get hurt. But shouldn't she think about it earlier? True love appearing soon Since Hong Kong SAR announced tax rebate last year, it allowed Charmaine to earn more income. She is of course happy with this. However, when she visits the old folks, she found out that their retirement allowance (fruit money) is pitifully little. At least she felt dissatisfied with this and said: "Rather give more to the elderly than having tax rebate." Her self sacrificing mindset is indeed of an honest and upright lady. Charmaine is accustomed sitting like a big sister. Sitting on the sofa, she rests her arm toward the back of the sofa. Afterward she will give you a smile, her gaze reflecting charm and wittiness. She was trained from experience; therefore she could say something like: "Won't simply date". Won't it be dreadful if she met a guy who needs her protection instead? Her attitude is those who can protect many people. If she found a guy she really likes, she will take the initiative. What's to be afraid of? She doesn't understand what is to be afraid of going after the things you like. If you like a flower, a movie, a lamp, a candle – you will want to own them, you will spend money to take bring them back home. This kind of thinking is very normal, what is there to be afraid of? Sometimes you will think for her, is there a guy who will make her chase after him passionately, and where is he now? Preparing sense of security for herself Charmaine's goal is very obvious: Earning money. When you are lacking security and love, money is be the best comfort. Apart from feelings, you can buy anything with money to console yourself, such as cars and houses. Charmaine doesn't need to get these from others; she depends on her own hands. Therefore do not be jealous of her big house and car, she earns those from enduring overnight filming and sustaining 'work related' injuries. 10 years, if you use seconds to count the amount of time it will scare anyone. For 10 years, when encountering any hardships and sadness she just withstands them. From this Charmaine also gained more than others. Therefore Linda Chung said that she wishes to become someone like her, having similar success but she is also worried not having the same endurance level Charmaine does. However, Charmaine never thought of slowing down. She has not given a thought to stopping in the future. Even though in future she might get married, have children or open a kindergarten and have a satisfying condition, she will still strive on. She feels that filming daily, enduring overnight work, rehearsing scripts, and portraying different roles are the things she truly enjoys. Taking two months break annually is already enough for her. For example, she has gone holidaying to Hawaii to visit her mum. Later, she will go to Shanghai for her younger brother's wedding. She only has two months per year, so enjoy it! Epilogue The Charmaine Sheh now is just like an action heroine. Behind her sweet smile is a solid fist: the attitude of a real heroine. She can make guys look at her with pure respect. In work, she is the Iron 1st sister whom many of her male colleagues could not catch up to. With the feeling of reluctance and shyness from her newbie days fading from her expression, she subconsciously exuded the aura of authority. Yes, a little bit of it. There is seriousness even in her smile, if you pay attention to her eyes when she smiles. Any fear and uncertainty are kept under control by her unyielding courage. Accordingly, many years back when she was up onstage to receive an award, she was really nervous. This was because she thought that she will be getting an award for another series, therefore she only prepared the thank you speech for it. The few seconds before she went onstage, she couldn't recall of the name of the series producer and co-stars. However, no one saw through her uneasiness. She immediately said: "Thank you to every cast and crew who have contributed to this drama!" Then she looked around, making everyone feel that they are the person she is thanking. This is Charmaine's style. Please do not repost. Finally done with the translation. I hope it will be a good (and easy) read to you all. Sigh, tomorrow is Monday... need to get back to work. So depressing.

Charmaine interview @ Shanghai TV Weekly

Mag scans credit to 小兔斐斐 from KuangaiTVB BBS. Note: The article below is exclusive to Sehseh's Blog only. Please do not repost elsewhere. Thank you for your co-operation. Apparently, I was accused of purposely misleading fans by giving inaccurate information about Charmaine. I simply choose not to alter the interview article - I also asked not to repost the article. After all it's just an age number and older or younger by a year doesn't matter in this case, since the article doesn't sit on this topic. Those who constantly visit my site know that I am one of the most loyal fans to Charmaine out there. I'd rather emphasize on more important issues like her privacy, career and personal happiness than being sour on a simple number. I am truly insulted and I repeat - I never forced anything in return for my contributions and definitely will not force anyone to visit my site. With this said, I'd like to thank those who have always supported my site and rest assured that I will continue to post updates. This is my site, which I have sincerely dedicated time and effort for nearly 4 years with a clear conscience and no one can tell me that it is unworthy of anything or anyone. --------- Right before the interview, Charmaine was busy reading her scripts and applying her make-up, looking really nervous. It's not that she is worried acting with Eric Tsang and Wang Hom, but the director decided to change her role right before the show opened! From 'mother' to 'daughter', she has to memorize her dialogs all over again. "Wah, I am going crazy!" Mid Autumn Festival – eating mitten crabs with mum Charmaine said that all TVB actresses have one distinguished characteristic in common: Hardworking. They film series day and night. Under this kind of training, it's not too difficult for them to memorize their scripts in a short period. Apart from her strong focus in career, Charmaine spend her remaining attention on her pet cat at home. She will give her cat a bubble bath whenever she has free time. Charmaine almost never took a break since entering TVB. Two months ago, Charmaine finished all her work at hand and visited her mum in USA. "I stayed for a month, eating her home cooked food every day. We also went to Hawaii..." Charmaine claimed not to have special preference in food and loves eating roast squab and Chinese mitten crab. Her highest record is eating 8 crabs at one go. Autumn is coming soon and Charmaine made a promise with her mum: "She will be coming to HK and we will go eat Chinese mitten crabs together. "Someone mentioned that the Mid Autumn Festival falls on September 15 and Charmaine looked a bit lost: "Ah! I never celebrated Mid-Autumn festival for almost 20 years. I think I will take my mum to the bayside for moon gazing…" Next month – Resuming fate with old partner Charmaine came to Shanghai to attend the recording of TV show [Bravo, Beijing Olympics]. Among the sport events, Charmaine's favorite is gymnastics. Her favorite athlete is Yao Ming. "I really wish to meet him, but I will have to wear really high heels or else I will look like a midget." Time can solidify one's sentiment, but Charmaine said maybe it's due to her filming more comedies, she feels a little wacky. She has just finished filming a 30 episode series [Turbulence of East and West] in Guangzhou. She will be filming a new series [Business Doctor] in October with Dayo Wong, whom she has never worked together for a long time. "Ten years ago, there was an opportunity to work with him in [Justice Sung 2]. However, I was transferred to [Detective Investigation Files 4] after filming for a week. You can consider the upcoming series as 'resuming our unresolved fate'." In the series, Dayo portrays a business 'doctor' whose expertise is in rescuing bankrupt business. Charmaine is the owner of wonton noodle restaurant. "He came daily to eat noodles, so…" The storyline remind us of Wong Jing's [Lady Iron Chef]. Leading actress Charmaine was labeled by HK media as 'Worst Actress'. "Never mind, there are many types of leading actresses, everyone's preference is different." In two years – Getting married In regard of Charmaine’s preference, it is still a big mystery. Though she insists that she is not dating anyone, she disclosed on a few occasion that a guy kneeled and proposed to her in Switzerland when she was 19 years old. "I was still studying back then and was not dating. I was quite shocked." Now reaching 34 years old, she is motivated in getting married. "I will grasp my opportunities in coming 2 years, as many of my friends are already married and some even had children." She doesn't have special requirement toward her other half, "As long as we can communicate well, get along happily, dotes on me and older than I am. I don't mind whether if he is from or outside the entertainment business, nor will I hide (our relationship) from media." Earlier, Charmaine's rumored boyfriends Raymond Lam, Joe Ma and Benny Chan also attended this TV show. When Charmaine heard this, she pretended to be lost: "Really? They came? I knew about Raymond, but I'm not sure of the others." The truth is, barely three weeks ago had Benny Chan divulged in public: "I've once have a love relationship, which I thought will led to marriage but it still ended... but I am still waiting!" At this, Charmaine smiled and said: "The past is the past. I will never look back." Sorry, I did not translate the bottom part not because I don't want to, just that the wordings are too small for me (they're talking about her 'rumored boyfriends' anyway). Due to the quality of the scans, I could not translate the interview word per word but rest assured that the important points are translated into the article. Anyway I received news that [Turbulence] might be aired on November (edited Sept 3) instead... TVB seems bent on making [Turbulence] and [Jewels] as this year's anniversary canon dust (pau fui)... Added September 3: Note that the article is reflecting Charmaine's age in Chinese lunar calendar (adding additional year), or a typo made by the magazine. Charmaine is born in 1975, which means she is 33 years old in Western calender. It's also partially carelessness on my part for not clarifying but the callous comments made by someone in cbox is definitely uncalled for.
