Linda Chung Has The Confidence To Fight For TV Queen; Nancy Sit Blows Up Over The Poster Arrangement
Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) and Nancy Sit (薛家燕) attended the River of Wine《九江十二坊》promotional event yesterday.
When the topic of the TVB Anniversary TV King and Queen awards was brought up, Linda professed that she has the confidence and said, “My reaction in Yes Sir, Sorry Sir《點解阿Sir係阿Sir》was unexpectedly well-received and I gained a lot of fans as a result. Furthermore, the audiences also like my role as Miss Koo in “Yes Sir, Sorry Sir” hence I will be shooting a spin-off series centralizing around Miss Koo in the month of November.”
Linda continued, “Of course I do hope that I could win the “My Favourite Female Television Role” award based on my role as Miss Koo too.”
When mentioned about her ex rumored boyfriend Raymond Lam‘s (林峯) new drama, Men With No Shadows《不速之約》, being accused of plagiarizing Death Note《死亡筆記》, Linda responded, “I’m not too sure. But they will always say that every time when there’s a new drama series. Actually having filmed so many dramas, it is inevitable as there will easily be slight similarities in the plots every now and then. However, I feel that their drama seems attractive and Bobby Au-Yeung (歐陽震華) is also rather comical.”
Nancy Sit blows her top over the alignment of the drama promotional poster
On the other hand, it was evident that Nancy Sit’s image was heavily enlarged on the backdrop, in an eye-catching position, as compared to the first promotional event for “River of Wine”.
This was because during the first “River of Wine” promotional event, Nancy Sit felt that her portrait image on the poster was too small. This made her extremely displeased as it thrust her into a supporting character, which prompted her to reflect it to the producer.
While attending the “River of Wine” promotional event yesterday, Nancy Sit revealed that she had earlier on expressed her dissatisfaction to the producer, Wong Wai-Shen (黃偉聲), about her positioning in the promotional poster.
Nancy continued to say that Wong Wai-Shen explained that it was a printing problem and promised her that he would make sure the problem doesn’t persist again for the second promotional event.
Nancy also joked that she would look at the backdrop first when she enter the venue in the afternoon and would entertain thoughts of leaving if it wasn’t amended by then.
However, upon reaching the venue, she immediately felt happy again upon seeing that there was marked improvement in the poster during this current promotional event.
Nancy professed that she only filmed one to two drama series for TVB every year hence she was obviously uneasy about being treated as a supporting character when she was in fact the main lead of the drama.
Nancy proceeded to say that after seeing her discomfort, the producer was sensible and understanding enough to make the immediate amendments.
Nancy also emphasized that she wasn’t petty but just felt a little unsettled as her relationship with TVB has always been good and they had said that she would be acting as the main lead when they had initially invited her to film this drama.
Since yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, did Nancy remind her children to be careful while celebrating it with their other half?
Nancy replied that she is an open-minded parent and will give them space for their own activities but she did ask them to enjoy and appreciate the full moon and didn’t ask them to “eat the moon”.

Linda Chung likes Raymond Lam’s portrayal of a devil
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festive season for family reunion, Linda self-professed that her personality was westernized and since her family was in Canada, she didn’t have the habit of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In other news, Raymond Lam’s new drama was recently accused of plagiarism. About this, Linda replied that there were simply too many dramas in this world hence it was ineluctable for similarities in drama plots and that there were accusations of plagiarism, even in songs.
Linda also expressed that she knew Raymond was portraying a devil and felt that the concept was rather appealing.

Linda looks good in here! very fresh!
On Linda : This pic of her, she looks kinda slim compare to her role onscreen which looks meatier.
Don’t think I’ll follow her new series which focus mainly on her role Ms Koo since the previous series of her, ty and moses doesn’t leave any memorable impression for me to re-continue watching any series related to her ms koo’s role.
On Nancy : Taking the fact that Nancy is one of the main lead in ROW, can’t blame her for throwing the tantrum for not being in the central in the poster. I guess any main lead would make a big deal about it if they’re ensured of a main lead role. But because of this, Nancy gives ppl an impression she has this “Diva” attitude in her even she’s a veteran in tvb now.
yeah totally agree with you on linda. i suppose she wore alot of clothes on clothes in that series haha…
and she looks great in the pics
Is Nancy or Linda the main lead here? Since Nancy complained about the poster I assume it’s Nancy?
Ex rumored boyfriend – the reporters are so creative.
I always think of Linda as the fresh faced “girl next door” kind of person. You know, the kind of girl whom most mother-in-laws would like. Regarding Nancy Sit, she always reminds me of being a bit of a “13 deem” in Cantonese. Very flighty, behaves in a silly manner. I do sometimes wonder whether she feels it makes her seem young by being like that. She’s about the same age as people like Angie Chiu but totally different in character and personality.
@Pineapple,
Nancy Sit was once criticised for her exeggerating acting in her previous role and series. Audiences were very much bluffed with the way she acted too dramatic and loud. I guess she has learned her lesson and tuned down a bit in this recent series ROW.
Personally I find her performance to be about the same, still too dramatic in her expressions, but some ppl are like that so meh, but her acting is very ‘ acting’. I can see she is playing a character but she never convinces me she is doing anything more. Being an elder sure has its advantages… Lead… Lol
After the Gillian incident, and then followed by Elanne Kong, now the mother-in-laws might be more carefully with Jade girls or girl next door, hehe.
what happen to Elanne Kong?, I think I missed out that news..
Third party with a rich man. His wife came and beat her.
haha funny, however it should be easy to distingush the real jade girls from the fake ones 🙂
Not happen then can’t say anything. Who noe if the so-called “real” jade girls are even more surprised than the revealed jade girls. Just cross fingers and wait.
i think you talking to a person and observe for small micro-details you will get a idea of how a person is.
I dun think a person with great demand or horny is a bad person, so I dun take it as a problem. I just think the jade girls are fake :P. But it’s for their career, then I also dun think they are not bad people. I even feel pitiful for them because they can’t be themselves. So maybe the revealed true color will be good for them.
However, I feel worried for the fans who blv that they are virgin or they dun have *** demand more.
I blv in the theory that none of girls in the industry can keep their virginity longer than 1 year after joining the industry.
haha noone here is saying it’s bad for being a nasty girl, but being a third party in a marriage is just wrong in my opinion.
lets be honest it’s stupid to think any in the industry is a virgin. besides it shouldn’t matter if the person is not fake and has a good personality.
yeah lots of fake artists out there for sure 🙂
Nobody in here? Are you sure? Lol, they even think lying on love relationship = unethical :P.
but being a third party in a marriage is just wrong in my opinion.
Yes, this thing is wrong.
LOL, ofcourse im not sure and i think you knew that i only meant myself.
I agree with you Fox and looks can be deceiving. You can’t always judge someone’s character based on their outer appearance and image since people can be fake.
Well the circle is a hard and sort of creepy world so of course it is hard to stay a virgin or be completely innocent. If you are too innocent and naive, then you will not be able to survive or succeed. We constantly hear rumours of actresses sleeping with directors in order to get promoted and many wonder if that is really true. Maybe there is some truth to it??
Of course you will not truly know a person until you get to know them for some amount of time. Even if people are fake, they can only be fake for some period of time until they reveal their true colors. But with celebs, none of us know them in real life or well enough to know how they really are. However, in many cases if you follow their news and stuff for awhile, you may sort of get an idea…
I also agree that it is wrong to be a third party in any marriage. It is wrong for a relationship as well but it is worse for a marriage…
Then like I said, if you like an artist for her/his talents, then until when this artist treats you well, you can be a fan. If they even dun bother to act fake, just ignore them.
Every artists are liars :P. Their job to act :P.
What in the world is Raymond wearing? He looks like he has my pajamas on! His style is becoming more and more feminine
Yeah, sometimes, his clothing is just too weird and crazy for my liking. His clothes only look good in dramas and during the TVB awards night.
I was laughing when he had to pull up his skirt like girls when he was walking up stairs in his Let’s Get Wet Concert. LOLs
I’ve been keeping up with the series and Nancy Sit does feel more like a supporting character than a main lead. This show is more male oriented w/ Bowie and Sunny as the mean leads… all the ladies or more support actresses. Such a small thing to get mad about it… sheesh
lol. isn’t she too old to get angry over such a small matter?
bro in rain boots with parachute pants tucked into it – not a good look
linda is not hot, Fala is much hotter. You are not a tv queen linda
Linda may not look as hot as Fala in many occasions but some ppl do think Linda is hot, sexy and pretty in person. Its all depend on the eyes of the beholder. LInda may have this heavy “girl-next door” image in her since she was projected this way in her first appearance on tv while Fala was projected as foxy ways in her first appearance.
I can ensure LInda will look as hot as Fala if she’s donned in sexy strippy dress since she got the body to show off too.
Her boobs are small :P. 33C if I rmb rite. So it won’t turn to sexy.
Even when she play Elise in Gem of Life, I don’t fine her sexy.
She can be sweet, fresh, gentle, elegant, down-to-earth, but, I don’t find her sexy. I think it’s the facial feather.
@Fox and Kidd,
Maybe you don’t find her sexy is because You’re looking from a gal’s point of view mah (kidding). Men sets level of women’s sexiness differently as we can never understand men’s inner thinking ever.
Anyway, I don’t really agree that women’s point of view cannot be compare to men’s since both also have the power to make comparison but fact is men don’t think with their head properly when come to making comparison of women hehe.
@Kidd,
But Elise from Gem of Life was supposed to display as a spoilt brat rather than a sexy and foxy woman like what Fala displayed in her previous role as mistress sort of.
Talking about boobs means I’m trying to look at her from male’s side :P.
@Fox,
You’re still not a man LOL 😛
It would be a change to see Linda in a sexy role, like those that Fala plays, the Links to Temptations with Steven Ma.
Do you think Linda can carry it off? I think she can. It’ll be a change.
@Veejay: And so are you :P.
@Canto: It might ruin her jade girl image in the heart of some guys, lol.
@Fox,
Different views of opinion on sexiness 😉
Also, jade girls are always those most horniest one imo
@Veejay: You think your Linda is horny O_O? Exoidus will kill you and cut you into pieces! Kidding :P*.
@Fox,
LOL, well we can’t guarantee that they are really jade in really right? 😛 and always those M women in my country who donned in robe are the most horniest women in my country hehe.
PS : I didnt said Linda is a horny person in my previous msg hehe. I said most jaded girls hehe. But even IF linda is a horny person, I still like watching her series cuz her personal lifestyle and characteristic will not play any affect in my life ^^
Are you Veejay? Or Another Veejay took your email?
@Fox,
What made you think I’m another Veejay or imposter? haha
Wat you’ve said above dun sound like normal you, especially the one:
“But even IF linda is a horny person, I still like watching her series cuz her personal lifestyle and characteristic will not play any affect in my life ^^”
I rmb you said something totally contrast to this one.
Hmm, how about the young fans of Linda if they see her horny side?
@Fox,
I know what you’re trying to imply there, are u saying I said it’s morally wrong that LF lied about the past relationships he had and commented that young fans will do something horrible just because their dreams are like crushed?
Or maybe I said something about linda’s life that made me the reason for liking her?
Like I already mentioned in my previous post, no one can read my mind even I displayed a friendly face most of my time hehe:D
LOL. funny convo 🙂
Well said Veejay women have another perspective and it’s funny Fox tries to think like a guy haha
that’s why i was thinking who would win the sexiest woman title here since most are gals i presume.
@Veejay: Now I like you more. You are the first one in here accept this fact, hehe.
“Maybe you don’t find her sexy is because You’re looking from a gal’s point of view mah (kidding). Men sets level of women’s sexiness differently as we can never understand men’s inner thinking ever.”
I read comments in Golden Forum. Majority members there are guys. Linda is the current it girl there. But, most like her because they consider her pure.
I bet guys are attracted to her more for her pureness than sexiness.
Frankly I don’t find LInda sexy as well. I won’t even say pure. I will say classy. She is classy and elegant and graceful, VERY rare quality these days.
@fox,
I think everyone know this too..Jade girls aren’t really that “pure” in person. I think the reason that some of them here argued with you on was becasue they refer/based on the role these jade girls played or onscreen’s characteristic. And that doesn’t mean they are naive to believe Jade girls all pure as in still virgin hehe.
@Kidds,
thanks for the info, but i still believe normal guys will think LInda sexy if she dresses sexily in strippy, short dress/skirt hehe because guys will be always guys. They don’t think properly with their head although they say they prefer Pure girls but when two persons are in the room i mean a normal guy and Linda, do u think he will have such thought like bedding her? hehe
@Veejay: What are you talking about? I refered to this quote when I talked about the fact you admitted:
“Like I already mentioned in my previous post, no one can read my mind even I displayed a friendly face most of my time hehe:D”
BTW, if even when she strips off clothes in a room of two and nobody want to do the x rated 18 thing with her, she is a big loser :P.
LMAO~, remind me of a story told by a girl. She said that her bf is such a bad guy, a shameless one. Here is her story: This guy is introduced by her parents. One day, he visitted her house and because of the hard rain, her parents told him to stay in her house. She was in her room and he slept in the living room. In the room, the girl imagined that the guy would go to her room, try to rape her and she would fight until she can’t. But she waited the whole night and… nothing happened. The guy still slept in the living room, dun go anywhere. She felt it’s shameless/terrible of the guy to not… rape her and didn’t give her chance to protect her virginity.
haha so girls prefer to get raped? ROFL
@Veejay,
While I agree with Kidd that I do not find Linda sexy as a person (this is perhaps heavily due to the “jade girl” image TVB presents her), I think you are right about guys perceiving Linda has sexy. As long as Linda dresses sexily in revealing clothes, it will be a turn on to many guys.
@Fox,
Your friend is weird to admit that, but I think it goes on in her unconscious/subconscious thinking. She probably thinks guys are naughty boys who wants sex all the time! 😛 Does she likes bad boys or think of guys as players/cheaters?
The girl is delusional. Read too much romance novel and want to be like the heroine inside. The crucial point is not her being rape. The crucial point is she wants the chance to protect her chastity.
I suppose every woman has a sordid fantasy and the girl is not to defend her chastity BUT to be forced upon. Read of a woman who was some news correspondence covering a place and she heard so many rape stories, she was so traumatised that the only way to cure her trauma and her guilt of not being able to do anything is by asking a close male friend to brutally rape, beat her.
If you ask me, she has issues. And it has nothing to do with curing her trauma. Hard blunt truth; she was just so turned on by the idea of being raped she wanted to be raped to satisfy herself.
This girl, not romance novel. I am sure in real she doesn’t want to be raped but it is a fantasy. Imagine if the guy did go into the room and force himself upon her, will she still have this romanticised idea of being brutally and forcefully taken and she gently surrendering? Because rape in real life is not that romantic.
@Chriselle: Who said it’s my friend? I read it in a forum where the girl said about her real story. She said that she felt bad because her parents were forcing her to get married with this guy. If she is my friend, I gave her a hit on head. Think too much and live in a world of imagination.
@Fox,
Oops, sorry. I reread it, my bad.
“She said that she felt bad because her parents were forcing her to get married with this guy”
Well her wish will come true on her wedding night wouldn’t it? If she was my friend, I will kick her, headbutt her, and slap her.
well i suppose it’s normal to have some weird fantasies once in a while. she posted it online so noone would know her identity and its not something you would tell even your best friend that you wanted to get raped LOL…
Linda is very jade image since the beginning and TVB marketed her as one. Her singing albums also featured her in a pure and jade way.
I don’t really believe the images of artists that I see anymore. I guess many people may not as well, especially after the Edison Chen scandal. Many used to think that about Gillian Chung but now.. I don’t think so… I think many artists make you want to believe the image that they convey, but I guess it is only an illusion.
Lol I don’t have the slightest clue what using your brain has to do with rating whether someone is sexy… do people rate attractiveness with logic and calculation?
What does looks have to do with being a tv queen? It’s not a beauty contest.
Looks matter if not why many ladies will go plastic route eg. Viann, Mavis, Angelababy
or injection route eg. Tavia etc
Agree with vivien on her above statement that looks matter.
“Nancy also emphasized that she wasn’t petty but just felt a little unsettled as her relationship with TVB has always been good and they had said that she would be acting as the main lead when they had initially invited her to film this drama
I don’t think Nancy is petty. The crucial point is, when invited to film the series, she is made to believe that she was the lead of the series. So, when the poster come out and her picture is even smaller than Linda, of course she would be upset.
It’s the deception here. It’s not the first time TVB do like this. They promise an actor the lead, but, then turn out he/she is not.
Kidd,
Do u think Nancy really believed she is the lead over Linda? Is it not logical for tvb to feature the young pretty fadan bigger than the old veteran on the promotion poster?
I can understand Nancy being insulted if her pic is smaller than elena or Pierre but come on, she can’t expect to be the lead actress anymore.
Can u remember examples of when tvb has “deceived” the actors like this? It’d be interesting to hear about.
“Do u think Nancy really believed she is the lead over Linda?”
Why wouldn’t she believe if the producer tell her so?
She was lead in VOH and she was in quite the middle in Silver Power series’s poster.
Maybe in the series itself, her role could be more important and more pivotal than Linda’s (who most probably just have romance story) which makes her feel she’s more lead?
“Is it not logical for tvb to feature the young pretty fadan bigger than the old veteran on the promotion poster?”
Well, if the veteran in Liza Wang, she will be the biggest in the poster.
Can u remember examples of when tvb has “deceived” the actors like this? It’d be interesting to hear about.
Another example is Sammul Chan. He also complained about this last time with Relic. He was promised the lead role in Relic. So, he signed up for the role and rejected a mainland project. But, the finish product turn out not to be so and he was standing quite far behind in the poster.
I have no problem with TVB making Linda the lead over Nancy. But, be honest about it when you invite her to film the series.
@Kidd,
TVB cannot be honest, probably scare Nancy wouldn’t take up the role if she’s told to be the 2nd lead.
Agree with Veejay. Nancy might not take the role if they said she’s not a female lead and Linda is.
Raymond needs to fired his stylist. He’s trying to hard. He should take notes from clooney, Pitts, and timberlake. I can’t stand the hammer pants pairing with those awful looking boots.
He can’t fire himself :P. This guy has weird taste on clothes isn’t nothing special.
Maybe ray thought it was “hammer time!”
i didnt read this news but i’ve always feel that linda chung looks more mature than her actual age. even though she’s quite sweet looking but somehow i really do find her quite mature for her age, she looks like early 30s to me. fala chen looks quite young though
Blame the black crow color.
Perhaps because Linda’s bone structure is bigger while Fala has a more delicate body structure? Yeah in every dramas that they shared, most of the time Fala is playing a character younger than Linda; she does look younger.
Agree, many ppl condemn about Linda’s bone structure is larger compare to many female artist in TVB. Fala isn’t someone short and tiny either. I’d say Both Linda and Fala have quite a large bone structure and tall in height that make their feature outstanding onscreen. If we put natalie tong in the screen with Fala & Linda, ppl will definitely focus on F & L first since they have bigger body and taller hehe. Natalie is too skinny imo.
I think fala is ~5’5 but looks taller b/c she has long slender legs.
Linda is ~5’8 which is quite tall for Asian girl and she does have big bones. It gives her that amazon feel or as @Funn likes to call her, transvestite look. I think if Linda did that guess the gender game on the chok chok chok show, she would have a lot of people fooled. Luckily Linda does have a very feminine voice though.
@Josie,
Which website mentioned about Fala’s height? is it really 5’5? I always think she’s 5’7″ atleast.
@fosie,
found one of the site that Fala’s height is 171 cm which measurate to 5″6.
I just remembered f/ moonlight resonance. Tavia asked fala “how tall are u?” I think fala said 5’5.
Tavia says “good b/c ______ (Chan bo chu’s son- don’t know his name) looks about 5’7 or 5’8 so he will be able to take care of u.”
I remember that scene b/c I thought to myself, no way the guy looks shorter than that.
@josie,
I’m not sure which is accurate, the interview could be more accurate compare to website created by fans.
But Fala looks pretty tall to me almost same height as Linda (seems like it). To me..the list should goes like this from shortest to tallest lol
Kate –> Tavia —> Fala – Myolie (maybe same height?) —> linda
No no, it wasn’t an interview. It was the actual scene in MR. Maybe fala is taller than her character then.
And I think myolie looks taller than fala.
@josie,
sorry to drag this discussion long, but i’m quite interested to know who is taller among these young fadans haha 😛
I found this from a site :-
Biography for
Myolie Wu More at IMDbPro »
ad feedback
Date of Birth
6 November 1979, Hong Kong
Birth Name
Wu Hang Yee
Height
5′ 7¼” (1.71 m)
and if we compelled what i gathered earlier on Fala’s height..which 171cm = 1.71m. That means Myo and Fala have the same height..if these sites are accurate and Linda is the tallest. Shortest are Tavia or Kate.
Always minus 2 inches from official profile for HK stars.
@funn,
why?
Because they all liars, hehe.
I wouldn’t say liars but you know boosted. Can I ask; anyone knows how supposedly tall is Wong Hei and also…Joyce Tang?
This is true. Linda and Fala are both tall but Linda is taller and bigger. Myolie is tall too.
Kate and Tavia are the shorter ones lol
really? these days fala looks older than linda to me.
@exoidus,
Maybe its the effect of dressing and mature makeup haha~
Linda’s relationship to Nancy reminds me of Myolie’s relationship to Liza. Liza has a stronger position in TVB so that may help Myolie in her favor.
I feel if Linda should win, it should be for River of Wine. I find her excellent in there. As for Nancy, can someone tell her, she sucks in River of Wine?
If Linda Chung wins this so-called “Queen” title, TVB is more GARBAGE than I thought.
