It was Love at first Sight with Edison Chen
Posted by mei | On 07 Mar 2009 | C0mments
Because of the photo scandal, Gillian Chung was affected greatly and had to put her work on hiatus for a year. Deciding to do an interview with "Be My Guest", it will be the first step in returning to the entertainment circle. Gillian talked about her experience in the past year and often teared up, she frankly said that her relationship with Edison Chen has been dragging for 5 years. Good sister Ah Sa (Charlene Choi) has once told her that Edison is not a good guy, but she didn't listen and continued to love him.

She reveals that after the exposure of the pictures, she and Cecilia Cheung were the same, no choice but to end their contact with Edison. Ah Gil describes that before when taking these pictures, she was already worried that one day the "bomb" will explode, so she would often have a black face. In the past she thought of "suicide", "marrying someone" and now she just hopes to find a boyfriend that could protect her.

Ah Gil will eventually have to face the media, she felt very afraid, but no matter if she's no longer accepted by everyone, she insists that she will not give up.

Hong Kong's Wenweipo, published an entertainment program especially for her visit on "Be My Guest", highlighting the important contents during the interview:

Chan = Stephen Chan
Gil = Gillian Chung

Chan: After the incident with Edison Chen exposed, almost a year ago, can you fully face the incident now?

Gil: I calmed down a bit, but... actually if you want me to mention it, I really don't want to, but I never wanted to hide anything, its just that no one ever gave me the opportunity to speak."

Chan: How did you know Edison Chen?

Gil: I knew him before I entered the industry, he was a friend of a friend. (When did you two start a relationship?) It was right after I joined my company. (Was it because you two were filming an MV [女校男生] together?) Actually before that, we already started. (Within all of your past boyfriends, is he the one that you maintained a relationship with the longest?) You can say that, most liked was to drag the relationship, then reconcile again, already went through that for 4 to 5 years. (In between the relationship, did you date someone else at the same time?) I often stayed with him, I didn't have anyone else because he influenced me deeply. Every time I'm with him, it was hard for me to put my feelings into another relationship. (Was it love at first sight?) I think so. First, he really understands how to love people, can make you very happy. Even if it's just one text message, I will be really happy. (What do you like most about him?) I don't know, love cannot be explained. (How does he love you?) Very small thing, maybe....there is a period of time where he doesn't see me, but one text message will make me very happy."

Gillian took the first difficult step
Posted by mei | On 06 Mar 2009 | C0mments
Gillian Chung was interviewed by Stephen Chan before her comeback, although she did not received the praises that Cecilia got, netizens still complained, but Gillian got the support of the people in the entertainment circle, and would be progressing in the entertainment field, what was surprising was that Gillian got her support from her new and old rumoured boyfriends, Juno Mak and Alex Fong respectively, although Gillian had love the wrong person before, but she felt comforted. At the same time, her good sister, Charlene Choi, and her rumored boyfriend, Ronald Cheng, also voiced their support, even though it’s just like what Gillian said in the interview, that her path in the future would be tougher, but she won’t give up easily because the people around her, are supporting her, and if she gave up, she would be disappointing them.

In the interview, Gillian was asked by Stephen, that whether Juno was a good friend she just made. Gillian disclosed that Juno is very loyal, and supported her from the very start, he is a good guy, and did not used her to get into his position.

Juno made ‘Jeans promise’
When asked that the both of them would have the chance to progress in their relationship, Gillian said that she would only consider later, and not now, thus admitting that the both of them would have the chance to progress, as for Gillian, she said that this year, she suddenly felt like marrying, and hoped to find one person who can accept her, and take care of her. This saying was just suited for Juno, because Juno also disclosed that he wished to have a family, and hoped that he would find a wife who know how to tie ties and to cook.

Yesterday, reporters called and asked Juno’s response to Gillian calling him a good guy, and whether they would have a chance to progress further. But Juno passed the message through his manager that he don’t wish to reply, but in his blog, he still supported Gillian silently, because he disclosed in his blog that he fell in love with wearing jeans now, whether it was washed or not washed he also like, it was a coincidence that both Gillian and he had become the spokesperson for Jeans, he used the love for jeans message, to support Gillian silently and this can be said that he’s a ‘very very very good friend’

Alex Fong supported his old flame
As for her old flame Alex Fong, he attended a function yesterday, Alex said that recently, he had already answered a lot of questions about Gillian, and since Gillian had stepped out to speak up, he hoped that everyone would support, as for himself, he gave her his blessing. When asked whether he saw Gillian being criticized by netizens, Alex claimed that he did not, but comforted Gillian and asked her not to put those criticisms in her heart. When asked whether he thought that Gillian was silly to take those pictures, Alex said that he don’t wish to answer, but he would support her, and wished that she would have a smooth career and be happy.

As for Gillian’s good sister Charlene, she was filming in Taiwan, when she knew about Gillian accepting an interview with Stephen, she claimed that she was one of the most important person beside Gillian, and was very happy that Gillian stood up to face the audiences, she hoped that Gillian would use a optimistic way to face this challenge, and not avoid and give up like the last time, and she would accompany Gillian the whole way.

Ronald Cheng: we should treat her equally without discrimination
As for Charlene’s rumored boyfriend Ronald, he felt that netizens should watch the whole interview before criticizing. When asked whether he felt that Gillian and Cecilia both stepped out to disclose, but ‘fate’ is different, he said: “I don’t think that it is fair, they should be treated equally without discrimination, they are both victims. (Would you support Gillian?) I would give her my full support that she made a come-back.” Edmond Leung also felt that netizens should finish watching the interview before commenting, he said: “Gillian is also a victim; we should give her a chance.”

Gillian: No dignity, wants to commit suicide
Posted by mei | On 06 Mar 2009 | C0mments
"I once was dishearten, when I thought that I should go die..." Gillian Chung (Ah Gil) yesterday brought tears with her to the interview with Stephan Chan's "Be My Guest" and talked about her journey through the Artist Sex Photo Scandal. She frankly admitted that she had been in a period of suicidal, she felt that her dignity and privacy were gone, every part of her was seen by everyone. She blames herself on doing such stupid thing and that was only because she didn't want to lose the other party.

In the Artist Sex Photo Scandal, Ah Gil was the only one of the many female "main characters" who stepped out to face the public, but her one phrase "I am very naive and foolish" was often attacked and then she started her break not long after the public appearance. Next week (Tuesday), Ah Gil will appear in a Jean Ad where she's the spokesperson for and it is worth millions, yesterday afternoon, she accepted an interview from Stephan Chan on his show "Be My Guest". She attended the interview in a dark solid colored top, with little make-up, straight hair and maintained her calmness throughout. But when she started talking about the Photo Scandal, her tears could not stop running. Gillian's interview is scheduled to broadcast this Saturday (3/7/09) on TVB's channel. Last night, TVB cut clips from the interview and included them in the 6:30 entertainment news broadcast, "Scoop".

Intimate Photos, for memories of other party
Recently, Cecilia Cheung came forward and denounced Edison Chen for being liar and hypocrite, this caused a lot of pressure on Ah Gil while she did the interview. Before the interview, it was rumored that the interview was to force her to talk about the Photo Scandal. She was asked who caused the pain she received from the scandal? Ah Gil said: "Me, I blame myself, blame myself that I did such foolish thing." She reveals that there was once she felt disheartened and wanted to commit suicide, she said: "I once felt disheartened.... I thought that if I died.... my problems would fall onto the people I know, causing people that care about me to feel pain, so I quickly got out of that mentality." Currently she is re-energized, has courage to come out and meet the public.

Couldn't take the complaints, Mom says if don't want to do don't do it
Why did she take such intimate photos? Ah Gil cries and said: "I don't know, I really don't know, maybe because I don't want to lose it! (After the incident, there were many criticisms flying around, when you attended the charities for natural disasters or other functions, people complained, did you feel disheartened?) I called my mom and cried very hard, I told my mom that I'm very tired and I couldn't take it anymore! Then my mom told me that she will support me, she told me if I didn't want to do it, then don't! (No dignity?) Yes, None, it's like I have no more privacy, like everyone in the world saw every part of me, everyone knew. Whatever I do, people will yell at me, dignity is the most important." Asked if Edison Chen called her? Ah Gil shook her head.

No Relation with Edison Chen anymore
She revealed during the interview that she saw Edison's news in the past year and what he has done, she also saw the news about what he announced yesterday, and was asked if she admits to be Edison's friend and not love him? Ah Gil answered everyone that she probably won't be seeing him, there will not be any relations between him and her.

At 1pm, Ah Gil, EEG's boss Albert Yeung and her bodyguards arrived in a mansion on Repulse Bay Road for the interview with Stephan. 10 minutes into the interview, Stephan asked if there will be any lawyers coming for legal liability purposes, to avoid Ah Gil from answering any Artist Sex Photo Scandal questions? He said that there won't be any lawyers, whether Ah Gil tells us or not is based on her personal preference. Before the interview Stephen has discussed with Ah Gil, she was only asked to answer questions honestly! During the interview, the Scandal will be mentioned because this was Ah Gil's most difficult time in life. Why did the interview take place in a mansion? He smiled: "It's special!"

Ah Gil's manager Mani Fok expressed that yesterday Ah Gil's mood was pretty okay. During the interview she cried, she talked about things that she wanted to talk about, everyone needs to give her confidence.

At 2pm, Attends Spokesperson event
Next week (Tuesday 3/10), Ah Gil will be attending an event for the Jeans brand that she's spokesperson for. This will be her official comeback where she meets with the media.

Blindly in love to have pictures taken
Posted by mei | On 05 Mar 2009 | C0mments
More ripples from artists sex photo scandal, after Cecilia Cheung's i-CABLE interview, in which she denounced Edison Chen as 'shedding crocodile tears', another participant Gillian Chung (Ah Gil), appeared yesterday for an exclusive interview with TVB to talk about her true feelings. Ah Gil with tears streaming down her face, admitted that she agreed to the pictures because she was afraid of losing Edison and loved him blindly. She revealed that after the pictures were taken she was in a constant state of anxiety, the exposed pictures were 'hastening her death', because she felt desperate about her future, she thought about committing suicide. Because she did not want to leave her problems and pain to loved ones and friends, she finally managed to pull herself back from brink of death. About her old lover Edison, Ah Gil complained that he did not even call to apologize and outrightly said she never wants to see him again.

If I died, many people who cared about me would be very sad
Wearing light makeup, yesterday she accepted the interview at EEG boss Albert Yeung's Repulse Bay residence, many reporters were there and the parties concerned took strict security measures. Sources say Ah Gil was calm during most of the interview, but when she was asked why she had the intimate pictures taken, she broke down and cried. She acknowledged that in the past she loved Edison deeply , she agreed to the photos because she was afraid of losing him, "I don't know...really don't know....don't want to lose...maybe...." Regarding who is responsible for the sex photo scandal, Ah Gil replied in a tone of uncertainty: "Me...it is....should blame myself....blame myself for doing this stupid thing." Ah Gil helplessly said: "When I love someone, I can be very blind, I'm very grateful for my family's support. "

After the sex photos were taken, Ah Gil confessed that she was in constant fear, she once told Edison about her worries, at that time he promised he would never show the pictures to a third party. After the photos were exposed, her psychological wound could be described as 'fatal'. During the interview, Ah Gil wiped her tears and revealed her mental journey about seeking death. She said frankly the incident made her face tremendous public pressure, she felt dejected and did not see any future, she thought of ending her life, but after some struggles she decided she should not easily give up her precious life. "If I die, my problems would be passed on to the people around me, many people who cared about me would be very sad, therefore I soon gave up this idea."

The incident not only caused Ah Gil to mentally collapse, it also caused her good friends and family to feel sad and worried very much about her. Recalling what happened, she said: "I called my mom and cried so much, I told her I couldn't take it any longer. My mom was very worried about me, she said "if you don't feel like doing it then don't"."

I don't hate him but only asking why he has never called to apologize
Ah Gil said she has seen last year's Edison press conference and reports about the sex photo trial in Vancouver, but she said: "Don't know...don't know what to say." As for whether she hates Edison, she said slowly: "I don't really hate him, I'm only wondering why he has never called to apologize! Why wasn't there one single call!" However, when asked whether she can forgive Edison, Ah Gil remained silent. Asked whether she and Edison are still friends, she said firmly: “Don't know, but I think I will not see him again." As for whether she no longer loves Edison, she laughed and shaked her head: "Doesn't matter."

Asked if the bed scene photos made her feel like she lost her dignity, Ah Gil said: "I felt like losing my privacy, as if everything was exposed for people to see and know, I feel dignity is the most important!" In addition, Ah Gil revealed that of all the movies she filmed, she loves Beyond the Ken (公主復仇記) the most and was nominated Golden Bauhinia Awards Best Actress for her role in this movie. Ah Gil frankly admitted that the movie was filmed before the photos were exposed, when she received the script she felt "very scared" and "very shocked", thinking back later, she found the plot and her own reality very similar.

As for earlier reports saying Ah Gil was unable to withstand pressure and had to see a psychologist, manager Mani Fok denied this yesterday, she said Ah Gil saw a doctor for cervical problem. Also Ah Gil will officially make her comeback on the 10th by attending a press conference for a jeans brand, she will then fly to Chengdu on the 18th to earn seven-figure fee as spokesperson for a car product.

One of the main characters of the Artistes' Sex Photo Scandal, Gillian Chung will be accepting an interview it Stephan Chan's "Be My Guest", inevitably her interview will be compared with the contents from Cecilia Cheung's interview, Stephan said: "I only saw the headline to Cecilia's interview. As for me finding Gillian to interview is because she won the Asia-Pacific Female Singer Award over a year ago and it is only because the Sex Photo Scandal that postponed her visit. Just that this time, I am not inviting her to be on the show for her to respond to the scandal, the show has not changed. Questions about success and failure did not change."

Stephan expressed that no guest on the show has requested what questions to be asked, "before, I will be meeting with Gillian, because I don't know her, after the meeting, it will increase our confidence on each other." As for if he is afraid that the questions about the scandal won't be detailed enough? Stephan said: "Orange and Apple have different natures, she does not need to receive so much pressure, during recording there will not be any lawyers present."

As for Kelvin Kwan and Jill Vidal arrested for the pocession of marijuana, Stephan feels that he is not the person who will make any decisions on that case, so it is not convienent for him to respond.

Gillian earns seven-figure paycheck for first assignment
Posted by mei | On 04 Mar 2009 | C0mments
An international jeans brand paid a seven-figure sum to Gillian Chung to be endorsee of the brand in the Asia Pacific region. On the day of the commercial shoot, Chung looked fresh but claimed to be very nervous after a year's break. "I have been exercising these couple of weeks, sleeping early and waking early; I want to be in my best form for my first assignment after a year."

For the advertisement, Brauhaus's TOUGH Jeansmith transformed four hunks into demons, representing negative social influences; Chung, on the other hand, was seen without smiles, representing bravery in times of adversity.

The theme of the commercial "be TOUGH" tied in well with her experience in the past year. Chung said, "I'm happy to endorse the brand! The decorations and design concepts of the set are influential and made me feel very tough and cool when I was doing the shoot. In fact, I am also a tough girl, so the entire feeling was just right!"

According to reports, the commercial will launch in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia sometime mid March.

Chung's image in this commercial is somewhat different from her past images; having been in the industry for some time, Chung has transformed from a pure and innocent girl to a sexy babe.

On Mar 2, she was seen in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, clad in a Japanese T-shirt printed with French words which expressed gratitude to the public. Chung commented, "I have strong will-power!"
