Tavia Yeung received criticisms that she was not a deserving winner for Most Favourite Female Character and Best Performance awards. Yesterday when she received telephone interview from Cha Siu Yan, she said that she hopes that everyone will give her a chance. She has easy conscience and will work hard to do all her best in her job. She will use her ability to prove to everyone. When mentioned about the comparison that everyone made between her and Charmaine Sheh, she said that Ah Sheh did very well but her own performance was not bad either so she has confidence to face the audiences.Laughs at Chilam Cheung who was controlled by his wifeTavia Yeung collaborated with Chilam Cheung in new series recently. She said that Chilam and Michael Tse always call her “Hong Kong” girl because she talks loudly and always like to hit each other. She laughed that Chi Lam is controlled by his wife for too long and therefore releases vent on her.
A lot of peoples said that Tavia Yeung is a boring person when she talks. However, when I interviewed her today, she mentioned something that I nearly cried and there were tears in her eyes too. It was not the losing out of Imperial Concubine Lai on Best Actress award to Fourth Mistress Sheren Tang. It was also not because of shedding tears on gaining Most Favourite Female Character and Best Performance awards.Tavia Yeung is a stable person no matter in her performance or personality. Even when she received 2 awards, she did not cry and we could just see the slight tears in her red eyes. “I’m already too happy! I’ve never thought of fighting for any awards. Everyone knows that Sheren Tang deserves for Best actress award. Winning these 2 awards led me to strive further and set Best Actress award as my future target. These 2 awards are enough recognition for me.”As first line actress and still young, she will not fight for short achievements. She is also not as what written by tabloid magazines that she broke up with 5 year’s fatty boyfriend who owes money and chose Chris Lai. She does not think of fatty boyfriend and treats Chris Lai as her buddy. When mentioned about her love life, she created lousy jokes, “I’m very dry! So after I bathe, I will put a lot of lotion!”Tavia is 30 years old and films series for 10 years. This time, she portrayed such an evil role in series. Her private life is like a normal person who starts and finishes work without gossips. When I mentioned that her life is just like a mineral water, she disagreed with me. “Those that feel that I’m tasteless actually do not know how to appreciate me.”The Story Of Little RabbitThe story of mineral water that made me wanted to cry was actually regarding the death of her little rabbit in her house. Tavia said, “His name is Little B. I kept him for 5 years and he was always cute and lovely. That year, an advertising company bought him as a tool to shoot some photos with me. After the shooting, nobody wanted to take him home. He was so little and cute that time so I pitied him and brought him home.”“Before this, there were problems with his teeth and he couldn’t eat well. Everyone felt he was scary looking but he was a strong rabbit. Regarding relationship, everyone is selfish. Regarding loved ones, nobody will want to give up them. Everyone would try all the best to save their [family].”“He felt very ill a month before he died. Every day I would bring him out from the cage and let him to take a fresh breath. He was obedient and would not pee everywhere as he was afraid that we would scold him. He would do everything in his cage. The morning before he died, I needed to travel out of country for work. Before I went out from the house, I held his hands and said, “You must be strong! You must carry on! Anyhow also must wait for me to come back!” He used strange eyesight while looking at me. It seemed like he was telling me that he would miss me.”Spirit of loyaltyBefore this, reporters would only write how boring Tavia Yeung is. This is because she only expresses her real feelings towards her family and pet. “For HK citizens, my entertainment news is tasteless. But for those that need me, I’m their supports.”Tavia Yeung who grew up in Shatin has a sister who also entered the same industry with her, Griselda Yeung. She has 2 fathers as her mother re-married when she was 7 years old. She treated her step-father like her own biological father. Her stepfather passed away in 2005 and she learnt that she must put more appreciations on her mother. Now, she hopes that she can earn more money so that she can bring her mother for vacation every year. Her sister gave birth to a baby girl last month and now Tavia Yeung has the motivation to go back to visit her niece after she finishes work every day.“I will accidentally waken her up whenever she is sleeping. I will play with her and take photos with her. Now only I know I have strong motherly affections! Sometimes when I’m hugging her, I will have the rush to get married and have own children. BB actually gives special feelings to peoples!”Tavia Yeung entered TVB Training Class in 1999 and continues filming series after she graduated from secondary school. Other than Chris Lai who was rumoured dating her recently, there were no other male artistes involved in rumours with her. She is totally different than Charmaine Sheh. She was only rumoured to have a boyfriend outside the entertainment circles, Lam Wai Kit. The tabloid magazines wrote that Tavia Yeung broke up with this boyfriend after knowing that he owed debts from other peoples. However, Tavia Yeung mentioned earlier that she will help if the guy needs help. She always use “good buddies” when she mentions both of them.“I’m someone that loves peace. I will help whenever my friends need it. Just like recently one of my female friends was bullied by her boyfriend. I called her boyfriend and scolded him. At last they got back together. There is no necessary to thank me. I will do whatever I can do.”More evilTavia has filmed more than 40 series all these years. In 2001, she was noticed by everyone as she resembled Maggie Cheung Ho Yee and they collaborated together in TVB series, “The Awakening Story”. After that, most of her time was used on filming series. However, most of the roles were portraying good girls. Until when she received Best Supporting Actress based on her Lo Lui role in Moonlight Resonance, she was considered having a representative series. This time the Imperial Concubine Lai in [Beyond], although there were criticisms that she wasn’t evil enough, but she gained a lot of supports from audiences and won Most Favourite Female Character and Best Performance awards. In the series, she kept on repeat the line,“You are just as stupid as a pig”, “We have to do all sorts of evil deeds in palace”… Many netizens regarded these as golden words.“Most suffering part when filming this series was the long and hard dialogues. Actually I know that it is not the time for me to win Best Actress yet. I was afraid that audiences would be disappointed before the series aired. Actually I can be more evil for this role. I asked for this role from the producer. She asked me whether I would regret or not at that time. I was firm and told her that I would not regret. I’ve been filming series for 8, 9 years. I really need a change.”A good person will feel boring one day. She said that she loves the life without big changes. However during her schooling life, she was not as obedient as we thought. “Actually I was very naughty when I was still small. I always absent from class during primary school. During music lessons, I would sneak out with my classmates. Maybe because I did not have talent on music, hahaha! But we would not drink alcohols and had fun. The most we did was window shopping.”During photo shooting time, cameraman requested for an evil expression from her. However, cameraman and I couldn’t stop laughing when she tried to make that expression. She said,“My horoscope is goat. My surname is also Yeung. Same goes to my personality. So, what can I become besides than goat if I have to become an animal? However, maybe I’m a goat with the skin of wolf. Hahahaha!” She is just like those drunkards that insist they are not drunk. Just like if Tavia Yeung says she is an evil person, nobody will believe her.Of course, Fa Dan who really uses trick to do evil deeds must have already bought large bungalow or married into a rich family. They don’t have to continue suffering and being criticized by audiences. Tavia Yeung who does not go beyond her own bound, stays in an apartment in TKO City.“What personality one has is just like what type of hairstyle one owns. Just like me. If I choose a boyfriend, I will choose honest type. This field is complicated. I hope that I will find a boyfriend which is not from entertainment circles. However, those that I see every day are from entertainment circle.”I will kill you“I will kill you!” Tavia Yeung exclaimed loudly in front of me. I’m not General Ma or Lau Sam Ho. I’m not involved in the production too! When we were discussing about middle age woman, she said, “Is it like those uncles? Nobody called me that before. Why not you try it?” I followed her instructions and returned by the four words. After that, it was followed by her laughter, hahaha! To attract a girl’s attention, actually all we need to do is to call them “middle age woman”.
Tavia Yeung who received Most Favourite Female Character and Best Performance awards, accepted one job after another. Yesterday, she found out that she had some spare time so she went to IFC for shopping. Yesterday around 4.30 pm, Tavia Yeung appeared at Aldo shop at IFC. It seemed like she was trying out shoes and finding for long sandals and boots. After that, she went to look at some jewelry like ear-rings and rings. At last, she bought four pairs of shoes and she used credit card to pay for them. However when she left, she only took one pair of shoes and expressed that she actually helped her friends to buy the other 3 pairs of shoes.
This was the first time Tavia Yeung transformed into a “wicked concubine” role. Instead of being detested by peoples, she gained a lot of supports from audiences. She was regarded as hot favourite for Best Actress award this year and competed with Sheren Tang. As for the strong competitors, Tavia Yeung expressed that she was satisfied enough to be nominated. Now although she lost out the Best Actress award and attacked by Charmaine Sheh’s fans who were not satisfied that she won 2 awards, however Tavia Yeung is satisfied enough with both of the awards on her hands and does not want to care about all the gossips.All these while, Tavia Yeung chases for stability in her career. In the 10 years of her career road, she never thought of instant success. She entered TVB Acting Training Class in 1999 and started from bottom. From a role without name, without surname and without dialogues to the girl who helped to bring out the awards, she entered the drama group not long after that. She received Best Improved Actress award in 2003 based on her role in Vigilante Force and she received Best Supporting Actress award last year based on her good crying skills as Lo Lui in Moonlight Resonance. This year, she was regarded as hot favourite for Best Actress based on her first villain role and competed with Sheren Tang. Tavia Yeung lost out on Best Actress awards but at the same time won Most Favourite Female Character and Best Performance awards. Although they were regarded as consolation awards by TVB, however for Tavia Yeung who works very hard all these years, every award is a big encouragement for her.
Will not mind being scolded by Charmaine Sheh’s fansAs female lead for Beyond The Realm Of Conscience, Tavia Yeung admitted that there were definitely pressures for it but the pressures were not from awards but were from the expectations of herself instead. “As this was my first time portraying villain role, I would put more focus on my acting skills more than anything else. Of course everyone wants to win awards! However the competitors were too strong this year and I was satisfied enough to be nominated this year. Of course I supported Sheren Tang in terms of Best Actress award. She has great acting skills and audiences love her. She should have won the award long time ago. Now she really won the awards and of course everyone would cheer for her.” Pressures can be reduced for those that know how to relax. Tavia Yeung had already prepared a beautiful gown no matter there were awards for her or not on that night.Regarding the attacks from Charmaine Sheh’s fans that she didn’t deserve for both awards, she doesn’t feel anything. This is because for her, Charmaine Sheh is a good actress so she understands Charmaine’s fans’ feelings. She also highly praised Charmaine Sheh’s acting skills. “She really did very well. She could control her tears anytime. Her position will not be affected as her acting skills are stable.” Although there were many people mentioned that it is not easy to be friends with Charmaine Sheh, but at last both of them became very good friends as both of their characters are straightforward.Tavia Yeung has been waiting for many years until she accepted “Yiu Kam Ling’s role. “I was very happy that I was not portraying Lau Sam Ho. This is because if I portray a good person again, then it will make no difference with my previous roles. Actually all these while, I told company that I wanted to challenge myself. At last, I’ve waited for it.” Tavia Yeung learnt villain skills from Suzanna Kwan and Michelle Yim. This was because she had many quarreling scenes with Charmaine Sheh and therefore she learnt their acting skills from Heart Of Greed and Moonlight Resonance. She highly praised both of them for their quarreling skills with rhythm.Tavia Yeung was worried that her evilness would over since this was her first time portraying villain role. There were some parts whereby producer asked for retakes and asked her to do to the extent. “I also want to be scolded by audiences on the street. It means that I portrayed the role well.” The truth is her evilness brought her 2 awards and she was really scolded by Charmaine’s fans.It is a familiar collaboration between Moses Chan and Tavia Yeung. There was even higher level of mutual understandings amongst them in the collaboration this time. Tavia Yeung laughed and said, “As this was ancient series so it would be slightly different with love scenes in modern series. Both of us are too close and sometimes we couldn’t control ourselves and kept on laughing.” Although [Beyond] was praised by audiences that having attractive hair ornaments, Tavia laughed and said that only she knew the sufferings and this was the heaviest hair ornaments that she had ever worn after she entered this industry for 10 years. Quite a number of female casts like Michelle Yim and Susan Tse used neck hoop to protect their necks during filming breaks.
Yesterday Tavia Yeung attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at a hotel with Aimee Chan. She smiled and said that for the start of the new year, she has many opportunities to earn more money. Asked if she has enough for a luxury home? She said: "You can say that!" Asked who does she earn most with when attending events? Tavia laughed: "I don't mind, I eat all big and small!" She won't mind if she had to earn money with rumored boyfriend Chris Lai, can go arm in arm or even a kiss on the spot, but with an extra fee. Aimee was quite revealing at the event, but she did not feel cold. Speaking of last night's episode of "Off Pedder" focused on Chan Hung Lit's character. Aimee said: "I watched it too, but did not cry. Actually I felt quite happy because [Chan] role was very touching to everyone's hearts, just like in reality. Audience can see a more happy side of [Chan]."
Yesterday, HK TVB artistes Tavia Yeung and Moses Chan attended a news conference for a brand name in Guangzhou. Recently Tavia Yeung who was included as the victim in kissing scenes and infected by bacteria is suffering from lip ulcer. This was the first time Tavia Yeung replied on the incident. Tavia Yeung helped the “source of bacteria”, Michael Tse to clarify and explained that this is just purely a funny topic.Tavia Yeung appeared with a fresh and cool short hair yesterday. There was no sign of lip ulcer on her mouth. However, there will be more gossips whenever popularity comes. Tavia Yeung who obtained great achievements in 2009 was accused that she was copying TVB 1st sister, Charmaine Sheh’s short hairstyle. Recently, she even disclosed that she is suffering from lip ulcer as the results of filming kissing scenes and even pointed out the source of bacteria came from her partner, Michael Tse. When mentioning the recent gossips, Tavia Yeung firstly praised the short hairstyle. “I feel fresh and cool with this new hairstyle.” She also expressed that Charmaine Sheh and her are very good friends. “We will not mind over these things. We will not talk about it in purpose as it is not true.” When Tavia Yeung heard that Michael Tse was accused as the source of bacteria, she immediately said, “This was because a tiny skin was tore off at the corner of my mouth. Coincidentally, I needed to film a kissing scene with him that time. This is just a funny topic. There were no such things as lip ulcer or infection of bacteria happened.”
Tavia Yeung received criticisms that she was not a deserving winner for Most Favourite Female Character and Best Performance awards. Yesterday when she received telephone interview from Cha Siu Yan, she said that she hopes that everyone will give her a chance. She has easy conscience and will work hard to do all her best in her job. She will use her ability to prove to everyone. When mentioned about the comparison that everyone made between her and Charmaine Sheh, she said that Ah Sheh did very well but her own performance was not bad either so she has confidence to face the audiences.
