As the female lead in one of this year’s Anniversary Series "Can’t Buy Me Love", Charmaine Sheh is being viewed as the favorite to win the TV Queen award at the end of the year. Even so, it can hardly be said that she has no competition: with fellow TVB actress Fala Chen being elevated to ‘first-line fa dan’ status this year, the immense popularity she gained after her performance in the recently-aired series "Ghost Writer", the praise that she has received from various producers regarding her acting, plus her participation in BOTH of this year’s grand production Anniversary Series ("Can’t Buy Me Love" and "Rosy Business 2"), she could very well give Charmaine a ‘run for her money’ in the fight for TV Queen.
Recently, Charmaine has been filming a new series with Roger Kwok in mainland China. With regard to Fala competing with her for the TV Queen award, Charmaine was full of praise for her: “She [Fala] is a very nice girl and very hard-working too.” (Are you worried that you may not get TV Queen this year?) “I say it every year: it doesn’t matter to me whether I get an award or not – all I hope for is to do my best in every series.” With temperatures reaching 39 degrees where they are filming, there were reports that many of the cast and crew members fell ill, including Charmaine, who had to return to Hong Kong for a few days to go see a doctor. Roger Kwok indicated that even he was affected by heatstroke at one point: “One time, it was so hot that I could barely stand up straight. It was quite an experience filming this series….it’s the first time that I had my hair shaved completely bald for a series -- Charmaine actually shaved it for me and she said it was a lot of fun!”
As for Fala, she wore a sexy dress to the grand opening event of the Acca Kappa store yesterday, showing off her ‘career line’. Laughing, Fala said that she is afraid to bend down in that dress, but is not worried about her boyfriend complaining, saying that she does not need her boyfriend's permission to be sexy. Earlier, there were rumors that while she was filming for new series "The Female Martial Artist", she was at odds with co-star Liu Xuan over who should get more screen time. To this, Fala responded: “Liu Xuan is very sweet and is like a little sister to me. Whether behind or in front of the camera, we are very good sisters.” (Did you two exchange any ideas about music and singing?) “Not yet – haven’t had a chance. Let me ask her for her album so I can listen to it first.” Fala revealed that she has been recording some songs recently in preparation to release her first album. She also reiterated that she will not be going down the ‘sexy’ route in terms of her music career and emphasized once again that her boyfriend is not the ‘secret owner’ of the record company that she signed with.
Fellow actor Raymond Wong was also in attendance at the event. He playfully thanked Fala for allowing him to ‘tag along’ to the event and earn some ‘pocket money’. Raymond also expressed that he hopes things continue to go well in the future and that each character he portrays will have a deep impression on the audience.
