Nancy Wu: “Am I Not Good Enough?”
Fans of Nancy Wu (胡定欣) will be able to see her in Season of Love <戀愛季節> which is currently airing on TVB. With the Best Supporting Actress title under her belt, Nancy is reassured that her star status is rising and she will have more opportunities to take on bigger roles with more screen time. However, Nancy’s rise to success was not easily given to her. She struggled in the industry for 10 years and always questioned herself, “Am I not good enough?” Nancy shares why she doubted herself and how she gained more confidence to take on lead roles.
Reaching for Leading Lady Status
“For the past 10 years, I’ve had many colleagues who easily rose to female lead status and I always asked myself, ‘Why is it not Nancy Wu?’ I’d ask myself the same question over and over and finally convince myself: I’m not pretty enough. Without the looks, I can only focus on roles that requires more acting than standing around and looking pretty.
Nancy felt disheartened and lost in her career direction. However, partnering with Wayne Lai in Rosy Business <巾幗梟雄> inspired her and turned her luck around. Starring opposite a seasoned actor such as Wayne, Nancy’s onscreen time was noticed and widely praising, paving better opportunities ahead. Since last year, Nancy sensed that TVB had gained confidence in her, offering her heavier roles.
“For as long as I’ve known, producers only see me as a supporting actress, so how can audiences accept seeing me as a lead? It’s a difficult crossover but I am used to it. After receiving the ‘Best Supporting Actress’ award last year and receiving the acknowledgement, I found a new sense of motivation. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to take on lead roles, so being able to star in Food for the Slaves <食為奴> is like a dream come true.”
Negative Press
Nancy not only questioned her career, but also her love life. When the media reported of her breakup with Kenneth Ma (馬國明), many automatically sided with Kenneth because he was considered a Diamond Bachelor. Nancy was reported as having Princess Syndrome and possessing a promiscuous past linking her with numerous male costars.
“What did I do wrong?” Nancy asks, “Why did they media have to say such negative things about me being promiscuous? When my previous boyfriend Deep Ng (吳浩康) did something bad, I was painted as the good person. And now that Kenneth has a good image, I am automatically labeled as a bad person. Because Kenneth is a Diamond Bachelor, does that make me second tier? Again, I asked myself, ‘Am I that bad?’”
But things are finally looking up for Nancy. With more opportunities to take on lead roles and happily dating an advertising executive Patt Sham (沈柏淳), Nancy does not need to question herself anymore. “There’s no need to hide any secrets. I feel so much more relaxed and carefree, especially because Patt is not in the entertainment industry. If everything goes right, I think he’s the one.”

It’s about time Nancy gets promoted by tvb. I really liked her in Legends of Demigods. I think that was the first series I watched her in. Her role in that drama captured my attention.
I first noticed her in Twin of Brothers as Wan Wan. Even back then, she had amazing acting skill, even compared to the two lead actresses in the drama.
It’s been so long and she has yet to be promoted. It’s pretty sad, considering she’s one of the better actresses that TVB has nowadays. Don’t tell me they’re going to promote Christine Kuo over her.
Best of luck, Nancy, in your love life and acting career.
About time Nancy gets some leading roles… She deserves to be promoted over those “Goddesses”
I agree with you.
although i think she is quite pretty and has good acting skill,but i think she also misses some 1st-lead aura of a goddess like eliza or her own generation like myolie and tavia.but agree she deserve a chance to be 1st-lead.
I don’t think Myolie or Tavia had 1st lead aura until they became heavily promoted, its even more obvious back then if you compare them to the fadans back then. But they left and tvb promoted the current 5 fadans to 1st lead.
Now, I still don’t think Eliza has 1st lead aura. Sire or Lin Xiawei has more 1st lead aura.
I think Eliza has the potential of a 1st lead, but it’s up to her improvement. She is running rapidly so it gains her a lot of criticisms. However, who care? She shouldn’t wait until she is very old like the current girls to enjoy the fame. She isn’t really young anymore.
I don’t think Myolie or Tavia had 1st lead aura until they became heavily promoted, its even more obvious back then if you compare them to the fadans back then. But they left and tvb promoted the current 5 fadans to 1st lead.
———————————————————–
Supported totally. TVB has the magic to make an actress have 1st lead aura if they want to. It is all due to heavy promotion, and not real acting abilities.
I personally like Nancy Wu’s acting more than Myolie’s or Tavia’s.
This is quite random but I always felt make up makes Nancy Wu even more beautiful. Lol. Some looks weird with make up, others like her, gives the WOW.
I think she looks better simple make up and simple hairstyle.
nancy should be promoted over eliza and christine!
kenneth was only helping nancy by disclosing their relationship and breakup. some of nancy’s supporters went out of hand and attacked kenneth when this article is out. that’s overacting!
This reaction is such a great example of fans that went out of hand.
Holla, wat did the sudden “breakup” news brought to Nancy to be called a help? Out of sudden, she was viewed as a person with princess illness and that’s a “help”?
Nancy is absolutely right in the above article. Is she that “bad”? Or she is simply used by a very clever guy acted good?
wrong. nancy has been having ‘princess disease’ rumours since before kenneth stepped in and reveal their relationship. kenneth has a good intention to show that he has dated a good girl nancy and to stop nancy’s negative rumours.
Its not Kenneth ma’s fault the media painted nancy in a bad light. He came out countless times claiming the reports to be false and said they broke up because their personalities didn’t match.
Not everyone has some sort of crazy fan as a PR on forums making false claims about their relationships.
But I agree that Kenneth ma is smart, he ain’t going after some jailbait like others do, he goes for someone of legal age and mindset – unlike someone else.
agree with bbw. in a way kenneth actually shows he’s up for serious relationship by choosing a woman of age and not barely legal teens or plastic actress for his love. kenneth has taste and that’s why he revealed his relationship with nancy to prove that she’s not problematic. it’s not kenneth’s fault or nancy’s fault, but nancy should be having better eq than to provoke her fans to attack kenneth and that’s what causing kenneth’s supporters to defend back at her weibo.
Show me any article to say that Nancy has princess illness before the announcement of MM? Only MM said that “there were articles”.
And wat is so wrong with his statement? I’ll tell you: He thinks himself is too good to say that dating him means Nancy dun have princess illness? Or Nancy bothered to date him means she didn’t have princess illness? LMAO~.
If it wasn’t thanked to MM, Nancy has never had “princess illness”. Never forget that she was painted as a victim, a good girl in the relationship with Deep. And before MM’s announcement, Nancy also had good light on newspaper. But after that, wat happened?
Even if it isn’t for promotion purpose, then if she didn’t want to reveal, a genuine good guy must respect her to keep it in secret forever. But look, did she have the respect she required? Can’t blame her to complain on weibo.
Like you said, she knows the best how is the personality of a guy she dated.
For his taste, can refer to his habit. Lolz, AV Male God.
“wrong. nancy has been having ‘princess disease’ rumours since before kenneth stepped in and reveal their relationship. kenneth has a good intention to show that he has dated a good girl nancy and to stop nancy’s negative rumours.”
No, the princess disease rumours started because Kenneth announced the relationship. Those negative rumours were merely rumours and would go away in a week. How is announcing “we dated but we broke up” a good intention? That only led to reporters speculating the break up.
@BBW
True it’s not his fault, but be could have been smarter and kept his mouth shut. There was no need to claim anything since there were no concrete evidence. They weren’t caught in each other’s apartment or car. Don’t see how he is smart.
it’s not kenneth’s fault or nancy’s fault, but nancy should be having better eq than to provoke her fans to attack kenneth and that’s what causing kenneth’s supporters to defend back at her weibo.
————————————————————–
LOL I said it before. Those Kenneth fans jumped when they saw his name in Nancy’s article and proceeded to attack Nancy without even reading the full article. EQ?? I know who lacks EQ in this case.
There’s no concrete evidence that a lot of these actors/actress’s were dating, but after a while the truth eventually comes out. Lots of examples can be seen – Moses/Bernice, niki/Kevin, rain/Raymond. Why can’t Kenneth ma admit to his past relationship without getting torn apart?
He admitted the relationship and stood up for nancy and straight up said they have different personalities because he’s a very boring person. Not once did he hinted or said nancy is hard to get along or has princess syndrome.
I said Kenneth ma is smart for choosing someone older and more appropriate, not jailbait targets like other actors.
“Why can’t Kenneth ma admit to his past relationship without getting torn apart?”
Because nobody really care for their dating at this moment and they dated + broke up in secret without any troubles from others.
The examples you given: Moses/Bernice – Bernice was put in bad light because she dated a new guy when the “rumour” of her and Moses is still hot. Ppl still think of them as a couple. Kevin/Niki = has never admitted. These couples’ relationships were never disappeared on newspaper. But MM and Nancy were totally different, nothing about them, only few small tabloids which vanished really long long ago (then MM got rumour with Selena Li, Nancy with Derek Kwok for a short while) but MM suddenly mentioned of it, out of no where. Rain/LF maybe similar but please not that Rain didn’t say that LF had prince illness or make herself like a goddess when dating with him. At the same time, LF also admitted without saying that Rain has princess illness or what.
Ppl don’t really complain of how MM reveal the past, but the way he said it and the moment he said it.
“He admitted the relationship and stood up for nancy and straight up said they have different personalities because he’s a very boring person. Not once did he hinted or said nancy is hard to get along or has princess syndrome. ”
He did say that Nancy has princess illness. It’s from his mouth. You can find the old clips to know that he said it himself. And Nancy didn’t feel happy of this, stated in her weibo. Wat’s wrong after that? She is linked with a sudden “princess illness” and there are some tabloids to say that she tried to get back to MM. But did she? I really doubt so.
“I said Kenneth ma is smart for choosing someone older and more appropriate, not jailbait targets like other actors.”
The long run will tell, until now MM is still a single guy surrounding by love rumours with girls of all ages. And who is dating girls are younger than 16?
Exactly, Fox. It is the moment he said it. Announcing at that moment will not stop reporters, maybe he expected reporters to believe everything he said.
Where did Kenneth say Nancy has princess illness? I’d like to see a clip or news article about that.
In which article does it say that Kenneth ma said with his own mouth that nancy has princess illness?
Lots of rumored couples that has broken up could talk about their past and it’s rather normal.
Sheren Tang has talked about her affair with a married man years and years after their rumored relationship. It’s not just Kenneth who does that. It seems like only you who is an anti Kenneth ma fan would continue to bring up this topic everything Kenneth or nancy is on the news. You do that on every forum I see you in.
Like you said about tavia and the car incident, if you don’t bring up the topic people wouldn’t talk about it. It’s not a big deal but you continue to bring it up.
LMAO~, who said that “kenneth was only helping nancy by disclosing their relationship and breakup.”? I mentioned of it or MM fans like you mentioned of it? I’m on the topic rite now. It’s only you the ones who is trying to change it to another topic to protect your MM. I can understand why you do so, but hello, I’m not the one who started. If wanna blame, blame the word “help”.
It will be normal to talk about the past if that past won’t ruin anyone or it has good deeds. The keys for this issue are “timing” and “wording”. Timing is wrong, wording is wrong. In this case, it ruined Nancy, don’t use the word “help” to make MM like a God. I said, better for fans to say that he didn’t have the intention but accidentally made it worse.
And it’s clear that Nancy doesn’t want to see the disclosure. Until now, she still doesn’t want it. But he did that so she accepted, but can’t help to feel sad of why ppl have to put all the bad light on her after this relationship like that.
Kenneth was helping Nancy? Kenneth was tired of the reporters bugging him so he disclosed the relationship. How is this helping Nancy? Thanks to him, the reporters had an opportunity to come up with reasons of their break up. No need me to remind you who became the ‘bad person’.
Yup, that’s wat I want to say, too. There is nothing called “help” in here.
Better if MM fans call it “an unintentionally reveal” because the word “help” is even wronger.
you guys want concrete articles which rumoured that Nancy’s “princess illness” caused their breakup prior to Kenneth’s announcement? here it is: http://www.jaynestars.com/news/nancy-wu-unable-to-stop-loving-kenneth-ma-after-break-up/
This particular article was published in Jaynestars on the 17 Nov 2011 while Kenneth’s announcement of their past relationship was in February. Kenneth’s announcement of their relationship was to stop the press from tarnishing her name any further. You guys can read it here: http://www.jaynestars.com/news/kenneth-ma-and-nancy-wu-we-are-ex-lovers/
After his announcement of their past relationship, do you guys still see the press stating that their breakup was due to Nancy’s princess illness? No aint?
@Fox: since you said that kenneth complained that Nancy has a princess attitude, why not show concrete proof instead of BS-ing here?
February 2012*
Providing an article with no mention of princess illness after the announcement does not mean it isn’t mentioned at all. It just means there is one article that does not mention it.
If you read entertainment news from hk tabloids, you will know it is mentioned at least 80% of the time. Even when Nancy started dating Patt and reporters couldn’t find any evidence, they had to say “she changed her ways to keep Patt”.
@joey: i’ve provided articles which showed that there were rumours of Nancy’s princess illnesses prior to Kenneth’s announcement of their relationship and not an article with “no mention of princess illness after the announcement” as you have stated, in case you’re mistaken.
Since you’ve stated so, prove it. Link me the articles. If not, it’s merely a hearsay.
My repeat: Ppl (we) don’t really complain of how MM reveal the past, but the way he said it and the moment he said it.
The more he says, the more worse come to Nancy. And wat do his fans say? He helped her? Holla hop, what kind of “help” is that? Help of himself is even more obvious.
Before the clear admission in Feb last year, he had few indirect and unclear admission before that, saying some blur things about the relationship during the time they were rumoured to date, such as an interview with Mingpao in 2010. The article was posted in KATVB and you can find there, I don’t collect their gossips so I don’t have a link or a copy. And it leaded to a problem that Nancy was linked with “Princess illness” after that with being said that this is the cause for the breakup. It was the start I mentioned. And in the statement of the breakup, he again mentioned of the “Princess illness” which caused Nancy – who has been escaped from the questions about relationship few months ago (because during that period, she had few rumours with Derek Kwok and ppl forgot her rumours with MM already, only focused on Derek Kwok and the mess of his love life). Suddenly, out of no where, in Feb 2011, when the series THC was airing and gaining attentions, MM chose to reveal the breakup. Why didn’t him do such thing sooner? This question maybe you don’t ask? And after that, Nancy got the bad image. Tons of articles dig her past with MM with the bad light on her.
Like you’ve posted, the article about Nancy was in November 2011 while the announcement was in Feb 2012. Please answer me what delayed MM 3 months to “protect” her or “help” her like his fans claimed? If he used those time to think, he is such a slow thinker. And it was just a coincidence to THC’s airing time?
However, I only concern on the word “HELP” posted by a MM fans. It was a help to Nancy? It’s the core of this discussion, not that she really has “princess illness” or not. Don’t change the topic.
My bad, I was a little high when I posted that.
Here are articles which mentioned ‘princess illness’ after the break up. This was before Nancy dated Patt and the article said Kenneth broke up cos he couldn’t stand the princess illness.
http://stars.zaobao.com.sg/pages12/stars111117a.shtml
These articles were published when Nancy dated Patt.

http://www.ihktv.com/the-nancy-wu-dating-drying-boyfriend.html
There are more articles out there if you bother to google.
@Fox:
“The more he says, the more worse come to Nancy.”
Kenneth’s intention was to clear the air and refute negative rumours stating that Nancy has a princess attitude because this rumour has been circulating even before Kenneth’s announcement of their past relationship. If he wants to generate promotion as you have stated, why not reveal his mysterious 2nd relationship (rumoured to be Margie Tsang) as it’ll generate more attention and discussion in HK?
“The article was posted in KATVB and you can find there, I don’t collect their gossips so I don’t have a link or a copy.”
Neither do i collect links or copies of the articles that i posted in my previous comment. If you want to prove a point, substantiate it with articles, if not it isn’t a valid point at all.
“because during that period, she had few rumours with Derek Kwok and ppl forgot her rumours with MM already, only focused on Derek Kwok and the mess of his love life”
Nancy’s rumours with Derek was in 2007 when they were filming War of In Laws 2, not during the period when Kenneth announced their past-relationship.
“Please answer me what delayed MM 3 months to “protect” her or “help” her like his fans claimed?”
The rumours of Nancy having princess illness have been continuous even before and after Nov 2011. So, no, he did not delayed 3 months as you have claimed
@Joey:
The first article you’ve given was similar to the article i’ve posted. Also dated Nov 2011, prior to Kenneth’s announcement of their relationship in Feb 2012. The first article invalidates your point of trying to prove that Nancy was given the princess label after to Kenneth’s announcement.
For the second article that you’ve provided, it merely states her past rumoured relationships after she has entered the entertainment industry, and not the supposed “backlash” she has received after Kenneth’s announcement.
For the 3rd article, it stated that Nancy has shed her “princess illness” to be a better girlfriend, thus putting her in a good light. So that particular article was actually a positive one for her image, and not a “backlash” for her.
I now rest my case
How is being a boy collector not backlash? The announcement cause the princess illness image to stick to her, and the reporters added that to the boy collector label. My point right from the start was if Kenneth had not ‘spoke up’ for Nancy, rumours would continue to be rumours. The whole princess illness would go away with time. In the 3rd article, reporters wouldn’t even say Nancy got rid of her princess illness. Saying she shed the princess illness and changed for better is positive news? So I guess accusing someone of something he is not and then saying he has changed actually makes the person look better? Obviously not.
“Kenneth’s intention was to clear the air and refute negative rumours stating that Nancy has a princess attitude because this rumour has been circulating even before Kenneth’s announcement of their past relationship. If he wants to generate promotion as you have stated, why not reveal his mysterious 2nd relationship (rumoured to be Margie Tsang) as it’ll generate more attention and discussion in HK?”
He did and even smarter than you and me expected, he said of a second woman in the industry he dated but “I won’t reveal who is this woman” and it leads to a witch hunt on newspaper last time. I don’t rmb where that article come from but I think I’ve seen it in English translation. In Jayne or else? I don’t rmb. You can dig on internet. Leaving a secret relationship will generalize more curious eyes on giving out a name. And he revealed with Nancy to public, if he revealed the name clearer once again, how many ppl will concern or let it “secret” to make ppl more curious? You have the answer yourself.
“Neither do i collect links or copies of the articles that i posted in my previous comment. If you want to prove a point, substantiate it with articles, if not it isn’t a valid point at all.”
I have experiences with it. If I dig the whole internet world to find, you will say “Oh you are so free, you are so hateful to take time to dig the old things.” Sorry, I’m not that free. If you want to argue, you can find them yourself. I gave you the time and the newspaper, it’s your job to find in case you want to prove differently.
“Nancy’s rumours with Derek was in 2007 when they were filming War of In Laws 2, not during the period when Kenneth announced their past-relationship.”
Haha, you definitely need to dig the gossips of 2010 and 2011 again. And Nancy and Derek was rumoured due to DIE 2, not WIL2 :P.
“The rumours of Nancy having princess illness have been continuous even before and after Nov 2011. So, no, he did not delayed 3 months as you have claimed”
The worse! He let her face the rumours that ruined her repuation in more than 3 months without saying a word and suddenly when he gained attentions, he revealed it out! It’s even worse, do you see? She really has the right to feel that that relationship was used for the promotion purposes. However, I should notice you that in the beginning of 2012, there were no article about Nancy’s illness princess or her past relationship with MM.
And I think joey has mentioned: Before the announcement of MM in Feb 2012, how many ppl knew Nancy has “princess illness”? Or after that, more ppl know of it to stick it to her? I pointed that the princess illness started in 2010 something, but up to 2012, after the “protection” (I call it so to differ it with other hints provided in 2010), is her name cleaned?
If not, don’t ever say the sentence: “He helped her” out.
Ahhh so she was rather bitter about Kenneth eh? I agree with her though with the media’s love for generalisations. But who is to say she wasn’t so? And because of her new boyfriend she has matured and stopped having such problems?
she does sound bitter about kenneth. i like nancy but seems that her eq isn’t that good. it’s not kenneth’s fault that he’s a super nice guy and soon poon admired by countless ladies while nancy has a princess syndrome image.
She’s bitter she’s stuck with the princess syndrome image, which she has a right to be bitter about if she does not have that syndrome in the first place. Nancy has never mentioned Kenneth before this interview, so who’s to say her EQ isn’t good. She could have announced it earlier and things would be different.
Yup it’s very correct that she wasn’t the one who wanted to be back to MM like the old tabloids said. It can be seen that she didn’t want to dig out the past and probably didn’t want to use it for promotion. Perfect song to her from Taylor Swift: “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
I don’t think she matured because of her new boyfriend. Reporters couldn’t find evidence of her being a princess with Patt so they simply wrote she matured. She isn’t a princess in the first place.
@Funn Lim:
From the original news article, Nancy did not come across as being bitter towards KM to me. Yes, she was upset that KM arbitrarily exposed their relationship without her consent because of the ensuing bad press repercussions for her, but bitter is too strong of a word. However, she is indeed bitter at the press for tarnishing her public image and reputation by painting her a bad woman as a foil to Kenneth’s good man image.
Below is my translation verbatim of the segment where she talks about KM in the original article.
“All along I lack a ‘talking point’. My daily life is ordinary. Nancy Wu’s stuff, how many people care?”
But if had a romantic tease (暧昧) with Kenneth Ma, that would definitely attract a lot of people’s interest, but not a word from her.
“The relationship was still unstable. We were still uncertain of each other’s status. Why disclose?”
Instead, personally disclosed the secret only after the break up?
“He didn’t want the nuisance; couldn’t stand day and night being hounded with the same question. He was so naïve as to think that once he admitted it, the whole thing would be put to rest once and for all. If you ask me, I feel there was a better way to handle it, unlike now creating all kinds of unnecessary problems.”
Problems including the woman being labeled as a gold digger who callously dumped the Diamond Bachelor because she wanted to hook up with a millionaire, but when her gold digging failed she wanted to get back with the Diamond Bachelor again.
“What did I do wrong? Why write me up to be this bad? Compare to the previous one with a bad image (Deep Ng), I was seen as the good one. Kenneth Ma has a good image, so conversely I must be the bad woman?”
Kenneth Ma had tried to clarify the matter.
“The more clarification the worse it became. People saw he did his best to speak up for me, so his image got even better. Conversely, mine got worse.
“Even my mother couldn’t help but asked me: “How come a good woman can be so defamed to this level?”
“I didn’t know how to respond. Kenneth is not all that rich; you (people) think he is a Diamond Bachelor, so I must be an inferior good?”
万剑归宗 (??), back to the original question: “Am I really that bad?”
From the above excerpt Nancy did not say anything bad about KM to warrant the KM fans’ attacks on her weibo. Did they even read the full article?
actually i find her kind of difficult and annoying in this article. she should just let it go, its her bad attitude is why she is disliked.
Your translation of the article is clearer on Nancy’s mind.
Again, is she really that bad?
LOL try being accused of something for years and see if you can let it go. Bad attitude? This is the first time she talked about this issue. I’m glad she finally spoke her mind.
This is Nancy’s response to those who attacked her. 謝謝你們不喜歡我但看我的專訪, 又花時間對我作出評論!! 沒有看清文理的, 不明白的, 抱歉..我也不多說了! 喜歡的我不會完全明白, 更何況你們是不認識我的一群!!!
Thank you for reading my interview despite not liking me, and for taking the time to comment!! Those who did not read clearly or do not understand, sorry..I have nothing more to say! Even those who like me may not understand, much less those who do not know me!!
It is hard to make a person like a certain artiste. Some people watch a drama series just to see their adorable idols. They don’t even know what good acting is. Anything done by their idols will be good to them.
Look like Patt is the one for Nancy. In any angle, I think he is better for Nancy than any from her ex-es.
Who are you to say who’s best for nancy? I’m sure she doesn’t need dating advice from a stranger online.
Can you read? I wrote wat? “I think”. I don’t act like matchmaker to put Nancy with anyone else but from wat Nancy says about Patt and how Patt treats Nancy, I think he seems to be better than both of Deep (making Nancy involving in a triangle relationship) and MM (announcing a past that she didn’t want to reveal).
Read the article. Nancy thinks Patt is the one. At least to me Patt don’t seem like someone who only thinks of himself.
@fox Exactly who are YOU to “think” what’s best for her? Don’t give me that stinking attitude of yours and try to get personal.
@joey would anybody in their right mind tell the media that their current partner is not the best for them?
Someone in the right mind would announce who they are currently dating if they think their current partner is the right one.
I’m pretty sure that you don’t know what is the definition for the word “THINK”.
I don’t need to advice Nancy or I will advice her because she herself knows who is the best to her. As an outsider, I see that Patt Sham is a better guy than Nancy’s ex-es and it’s my opinion. Here is a place to gossip and I’m gossiping.
I can ask you the same question that Who are you to think that Nancy doesn’t need dating advice from a stranger online? You can know that she isn’t looking for such advices? If you can answer my question, you have the answer for your question. If you can’t answer, then I don’t have the responsibility to repeat and repeat the same things. So pointless.
only nancy know who’s the best for her. as an outsider you wouldn’t know whether patt is the best or not.
Readers can tell Nancy thinks Patt is the best for her. Glad she finally found a guy she can depend on.
Nancy should seriously be promoted by tvb! What is up with tvb promoting Christine, Aimee, etc. they can’t even act! And Aimee was running for best actress last year?!?!? This is just ridiculous, happy that she won best supporting though and hope she gets a good leading role soon!!!
Aimee is just lucky to have uncle Moses cause her acting is subpar + language problems.
She’s right that I see her as only supporting but it would be interesting to see her lead, she is more qualified than those pageant winners and goddesses. She is very convincing as a villain too.
I don’t think she meant anything negative about Kenneth, they’re still very good friends. she congrats him when he won awards at TVB and Astro just a couple months ago,I think she just meant she doesn’t understand why they blamed it all on her just because he had a really good image it ultimately made her the bad one.
I think she looks better in ancient clothing, she had me in TOB. That’s still my fave role of hers but I remember her saying she hated that role lol can’t blame her.
Nancy Wu is not a super pretty girl, but she looks pretty if she wears the right makeup and hair style. Her forehead is a bit narrow and she needs to wear her hair down (and not up with a pony-tail).
Nancy is gorgeous and very talented..I love her acting and image in all TVB dramas. TVB should really considered her for leading role. I know she can do it best. Best of luck to you Nancy..your fans will always love and support you all the way..we have faith in you.. Keep up the hard work..someday it will pay off.
I think that if Nancy Wu does not get 1st lead roles within 2 years, she may never get to act 1st lead roles. She is just one of the unlucky actresses in TVB with good acting skills.
Hmm. She should have gotten one earlier. TVB will only give her a leading role now, because the company is in completely dire straits and have no one else to promote. So basically a last resort. Shame.
Nancy deserves leading status based on her acting credentials alone. However, sometimes it takes more than just talent to become a leading actress – it might come down to looks, audience affinity… I personally think Nancy suits supporting roles better. But if she’s going to be trodden on by those who are less deserving, then I hope she can be elevated to lead soon.
Btw, has Nancy’s segment in “Seasons of Love” aired yet?
nancy should be equal to tavia’s standing in twins of Brothers, but look how far tvb promoted tavia and how far nancy is hold back? and now it’s Eliza and Christine’s turn to hold Nancy back.
What do you mean by nancy should be equal standing with tavia back in to TOB?
I don’t believe a good actor will suit lead or supporting role more. The problem lies with the role itself. Nancy’s role in Gloves Come Off was more interesting than the other leads. If she is promoted to lead, tvb will never give her a good lead role.
The biggest problem is that TVB producers only see Nancy Wu as a good supporting actress and nothing more. Probably TVB is lack of young and good supporting actress who can act!
@sandcherry: I blv Txb is lacking young actresses in general. Now they are also lacking of young actors. And still losing artists to China, other channels, etc.
Agree. In that case, TVB should promote all those young and decent-looking artistes who can act. They should also give priorities to the ones who have demonstrated good acting skills before promoting other brand newbies.
tvb has the chance to promote nancy when she was younger, or elaine when she finally improved and still young, but now they are both reaching 30’s and tvb decided to promote artistes just for their looks such as eliza sam, christine kuo and jason chan. why jason chan? why not nathan who proved his potential as kenneth’s brother in oncall 36?
When Nancy was younger, there were just too many prominent fadans in TVB, unlike nowadays. It made sense that Nancy was not promoted highly. However, TVB is lack of good acting actresses and Nancy acts well, I think she deserves to be promoted, like any good acting actresses.
A rule in Txb: Never get the promotions when the girls are young.
I can’t find any young girl that get the promotions soon in Txb in recent years, at least must be 25++.
Don’t really into MM lately. Tired of all report that he is Mr goody goody bla bla. Is that his marketing point. Feels like he is a person with sam gei?. From a lot of interview he sounds like using reverse psychology with the media.
Agree with you on the reverse psychology.
Nahh, i don’t think she sounds bitter towards Kenneth, more like towards the media for generalising one of the 2 in a relationship.
Nancy is pretty in real life. Her acting is consistent and she always immerses in her roles without holding back.
She is right that producers have been seeing her as a supporting one for so many years that it’s a tough crossover. GOOD LUCK NANCY! I SUPPORT YOU!!
I dont see her bitter towards kenneth either. In the original and the translation, she repeatedly questioned herself, if it was her own problem and not anyone else’s. If she were to be bitter, it be constant complaining about kenneth and how the media tainted her over him. A bitter person typically does not question one self AT ALL.
she just doesn’t have lead presence, thats why the others ascended to first lead faster and she didn’t, she just sounds jealous and bitter. she also doesnt have any name titles (such as MCI, MHK.) she also looks mean in every drama, that is why she is casted in villain roles. to be honest, TVB promoted in the right manner, when she got attention from RB, they gave her better roles after. her acting isn’t very good. her roles even though minor were always much more interesting than her own acting.
I agree with the first sentence, the rest I don’t quite agree but she does sound bitter is not having the same opportunities as other promoted seniors or juniors.
I agree with the first six words.
her acting isn’t very good. her roles even though minor were always much more interesting than her own acting.
—————————————————————————-
This is just plain BS. In Forensic Heroes 3, it was Nancy’s acting which made Eva interesting. If not, Eva would just be Wayne’s wife turned ex-wife.
Totally agree. Eva’s character was not an outstanding one, but Nancy made it …… a sweet wife and mother though not a perfect one.
I remember at the time FH3 aired there were quite a number of fans who wanted Wayne’s character to end up with Nancy, despite the show’s narrative supporting Wayne to end up with Maggie. I think Nancy’s acting made Eva a sympathetic character.
I always feel sorry for Nancy Wu. As she said “For the past 10 years, I’ve had many colleagues who easily rose to female lead status and I always asked myself, ‘Why is it not Nancy Wu?'”
Many of those female colleagues were a lot weaker in acting and not much prettier than Nancy Wu! It is totally UNFAIR to Nancy. She started her first “decent” role as Joe Ma’s younger sister in “TITS” more than 8 years ago with terrible lazy intonations. I heard that she worked extremely hard to get rid of them within a short period of time. As far as I can remember, I don’t recall that Nancy had any lazy intonations at all.
I love both Kenneth and Nancy. It’s sad they did not work out. I wish them both the best and Nancy def deserves promotion.
I’ve been reading comments and I was shocked to see people arguing about the “princess illness” thing having been said before or after Kenneth’s announcement. It had been said that Nancy had Princess Syndrome months before Kenneth ever stepped out to announce that they dated. Press went as far as saying Tracy Yip introduced rich men to Nancy. The story progressed to Nancy trying to win Kenneth back, pretending to be drunk at the A Fistful of Stances Dinner party where Yuen Chau told her not to embarrass herself. Then to how Nancy continues to try to win Kenneth back by making the 6 sec cameo in THC. Not until the beginning of this year, after Kenneth’s announcement did reporters switch it up to say Kenneth tries to win Nancy back by sticking by her during TITS 2.
Whoever questions it clearly does not follow Kenneth-Nancy’s news. There don’t see how there is point for argument. Whether he announced it to get air time, I don’t know, but his announcement after the fact of months of ppl saying Nancy had Princess Syndrome and has been trying to chase him back is a concrete fact. From the links below, it can clearly been seen, Nancy had suffered at least two years of onslaught from teh press for having princess syndrome and trying to get kenneth back, before he made the announcement.
April 2010 – Mention of Princess Syndrome
http://hyn5-hyn5.blogspot.com/2010/04/kenneth-ma-refuses-to-take-arm-in-arm.html
April 14, 2010 – Tracy even rose to the ranks of a “matchmaker” and started introducing certain starlets such as Nancy Wu Ding Yan to rich businessmen, thereby breaking off Nancy and Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming’s rumored relationship.

November 18, 2011 – Nancy Wu denies trying to patch her relationship with Kenneth Ma
http://kennethma.wordpress.com/2011/11/18/nancy-wu-denies-trying-to-patch-her-relationship-with-kenneth-ma/
February 24, 2012 – Kenneth’s Announcement
http://www.jaynestars.com/news/kenneth-ma-and-nancy-wu-we-are-ex-lovers/
http://kennethma.wordpress.com/2011/11/18/nancy-wu-denies-trying-to-patch-her-relationship-with-kenneth-ma/
This one showed very clear that Nancy didn’t want to reveal the past of dating between her and MM.
http://hyn5-hyn5.blogspot.com/2010/04/kenneth-ma-refuses-to-take-arm-in-arm.html
This one is even clearer that he said of “princess illness”.
If it was a past, then why he wanted to dig it out? Look at wat Nancy said, she really didn’t want to be used for promotion and she wanted to keep the relationship in secret. What is the point of respect for him to show it to public? It’s work of a man?
The first article you have provided merely showed that she was denying the fact that they have dated and was published months before Kenneth’s announcement. dont tell me you haven’t seen tons of celebs doing so. It is definitely not as you claimed, that she “didn’t want to reveal the past of dating between her and MM”
For the second article, the subtitle clearly states that “Kenneth Ma Supports Nancy Wu as Not Having ‘Princess Syndrome'”. So no, he has never stated that nancy has any princess illness
Kenneth said that but what were the consequences? I’m sure he is old enough to know what the consequences would be.
Combining it with Nancy’s reaction to the “announcement” please :).
And read this article, until now she still doesn’t want it to be revealed because to her, the relationship was unstable and can’t be considered as a serious one to be announced.
Quoted from the second article:
“I don’t think she has ‘Princess Syndrome’–at least she never did so toward me!”
What did he mean by this? “At least she never did so toward me” can be interpreted that “she can did that toward other ppl but not me” or “she is a faker only to me” by the media (in fact they did). It can’t clear anything to Nancy. MM can use words more “clever” or leave out the second part of the sentence if he really wanted to protect her.
However it’s clearer by the moment he chose to protect her of how smart he is.
thank you bbfreak! for putting out good evidences! some people still can’t accept that it’s evident nancy was called having princess illness long before kenneth step out to the media.
He hinted of this princess illness from 2010 in an interview with Mingpao as I mentioned above. I’m not sure if that article is translated by his fans or not but you can check for the Chinese scan in KATVB.
And it was the start of everything, not only the announcement in 2012.
Even if Nancy had “princess illness”, what did it have anything to do with her acting? It was just her personality or her relationship with her boyfriend(s). It should not hinder her opportunities to get promoted by TVB.
Tons of girls in Hong Kong have “princess illness”. They are just spoiled by their parents when they were young. I don’t see it as a big issue to jeopardize Nancy’s promotions.
In HK, the audience do care about you private life more than your acting. Explains why some actresses talk about being a virgin.
Probably ………….. It is weird ………. !
@sandcherry:
I am a big fan of Nancy.Never have we said or agreed that nancy possessed a “princess illness”. We were merely substantiating the fact that she was labelled as having this princess attitude waaaay before Kenneth’s announcement of their relationship, which unfortunately, some people still couldn’t comprehend.
So many artistes were given labels by reporters, but they go away with time. Kevin was accused of many things, but how many remember them now? My point from the start was that the label stuck to Nancy only after the announcement. No matter who she dates, she will forever be associated with princess illness.
Why Nancy’s fans always find someone else to blame? Oh woe her. Kenneth had good intention from the beginning yet they can twist it to make it seem as if he did her wrong. Whiners alike.
LOL. Always? Provide evidence then. I can’t remember how many times I have replied to “good intention”. Yawn.
If Nancy clearly knows that she herself does not have princess illness, then I don’t think she should worry too much or dwell on it. If she gets too upset over it, it can mean she either has really low EQ or maybe there is a chance that she does?? Who knows?? However, whatever it is with her and Kenneth, it is not the past so she should let bygones be bygones…
Meant to say “now” the past, gosh… I need the edit button!!
Before Kenneth announced, those were rumours. Audience who could think clearly would know those are stories created by reporters.
After Kenneth announced, the audience started to wonder if those rumours had any truth and unfortunately some believed those rumours were true, partly due to the kind of roles Nancy received. If Kenneth never announced, the audience would not start to believe in those rumours. Furthermore, Nancy started receiving better roles in recent years and her relationship with Patt would make people forget those rumours.
Just an example, if Niki had announced that she dated Kevin and they broke up, what would people think of Kevin and Charmaine?
blame the media, why blame kenneth? kenneth has good intention. he and nancy are not enemies and nancy herself cozied herself to kenneth while filming triumph2!
i have respect for these people who are brave enough to go public with their ‘secret’ relationships such as kenneth and myolie. these are the stars worth respecting with their brave effort to face the media instead of the other side who prefer to keep everything quiet? why hide?
Please do know myolie did not admit the relationship with bosco officially till she won best actress award.
Why hide? Because there are scary people in this world. Those who hate celebrities for being rich and in the limelight. Those who envy. Those who are jealous. Those who hurt one another after hearing the truth because they cannot accept it. Those who fear. Those who are sad. Need I go on? There are plenty of reasons to hide a relationship.
Good intention again? We already talked about this. Kenneth should know the consequences of announcing.
Nancy cozied herself to Kenneth? Were you there or did you get this from the tabloids?
Boscolie did not announce their relationship for many years, even when they were caught in Bosco’s apartment they did not admit, they just did not deny. Myolie announced it after many years, when she thought the relationship was stable, not because she was sick of the reporters bugging them.
Then I suppose Nancy is someone worth respecting since she announced her relationship with Patt.
sorry not meant to say during triumph 2 but after their breakup timeline and months before kenneth step out to the media, there was already an article talking about nancy trying to get kenneth back and the so called reason of their breakup: http://www.jaynestars.com/news/nancy-wu-unable-to-stop-loving-kenneth-ma-after-break-up/
now some people still say media only label nancy as having ‘princess disease’ after kenneth step out? think again.
i still think nancy is a great actress. her EQ might be low and who knows if she really has princess illness, but she is still a great actress who is unpromoted by tvb.
There were articles but so what? There are stories being made up everyday.
If to you, Nancy has low EQ for being unhappy and wanting more, then I guess many of them have low EQ to you.
“i have respect for these people who are brave enough to go public with their ‘secret’ relationships such as kenneth and myolie. these are the stars worth respecting with their brave effort to face the media instead of the other side who prefer to keep everything quiet? why hide?”
LMAO~, your MM kept secret about the relationship until they broke up for a long while! Same to Myolie who kept secret (open secret perhaps) for years until she won in 2010. All others did the same things unless the relationships should be RIP. I think in Nancy and MM’s case, it’s better to make it RIP rather than make it public because it ended well so long before he announced it.
And it was proven that any article to say that Nancy wanted MM back in TITS2 filming was fake as Nancy started with Patt in that period, bravely face the media like you said. But you still choose to blv in that tabloids?
I also have respect for people that admit their relationships,especially when it is clearly an open secret… Therefore, what is the point of lying through your teeth?? The truth will come out sooner or later and IF you lied, once it does… We all know the results…
I hope Elaine Yiu gets promoted more!
i concur. this makes me think why doesn’t Nancy be grateful for what she has instead of complaining? look at those like elaine and eric, etc much worse off even though MUCH BETTER acting than her. alot of ppl dont get recognition, its life, you gotta deal with it the best and count your lucky stars you made it this far. why focus on the negative? also it sounds like Nancy put all the blame on Kenneth as to why she incurred negative press, she keep saying the more he spoke, the more she was dissatisfied. she just seems very domineering, can see why their relationship didn’t last, she wants to control everything. he has a mouth, he can speak too. she should chill out. she’s probably dating Pat to boost her own huge ego and to feel like the better looking one in the relationship, so now the press can say she is a beauty while Pat is the beast, similar to how she said Kenneth’s image was good and that made her look bad so im thinking she’s dating a guy that looks like that not for genuine reasons. even her remarks seem condescending as if she doesn’t care too much about him, as long as he doesnt pose problems to her self-image, she will let him be the one.
Which press to say Patt Sham is the beast?
“this makes me think why doesn’t Nancy be grateful for what she has instead of complaining?”
What exactly is she complaining about? I mean, everyone has that point in life where they ask themselves “Is it me, is it really me why things aren’t going the way i want it to..” What is wrong with that?
What I’m reading from the above article is she is reflecting upon what happened thus far in her life. Her acting career and her past relationship with MM. I don’t see whats wrong with what she said? How does any of what she said comes off as ungrateful, rude, bitter or any of negative sorts?
See what should be considered ungrateful and somewhat bitter is how Kate responded after the anniversary awards. She clearly was unhappy with the results. If she had said “Maybe it was me, maybe I need to improve”…would people still think she was bitter and ungrateful too?
…I have learn something new on Jaynestars once again, never reflect out loud when you’re in the spotlight.
Where did she complain?
Linda can say she wishes to have a concert in HK coliseum, Fala can have an album because it’s her wish to be a singer, Tavia can say she wants to earn more money but Nancy cannot say she wants to be a female lead? What is wrong with stating one’s goals? Is she supposed to thank the heavens she is not a calefare?
its obvious her choice of words and tone is a dissatisfied about what has happened and continues to be.
Oh…kay…if that’s what you think, you should highlight what she said and how it showed her dissatisfaction.
Miss Wu I think you are an amazing Actress, and also I am sure that someday you will find your Guy that will give you all you deserve in life. Because Smart, and Beautiful wome like yourself do find there true Love someday just sometimes it takes time. I wish you the best in your Life and your Career
nancy wu always put on her trademark sulky face
yes even in that picture, she looks irritable. she’s just always got a grimace on, like she isn’t ever happy with anything. i was never her fan because i sense a mean streak about her.
There is no need to say it. Your posts reflected that you never liked Nancy Wu.
Elaine Yiu’s acting has improved a lot in the last two years, but she is not as par with Nancy yet, nor Eric Li.
Nancy is very detailed in her acting. She can easily beat any of the new top 5 fadans. I am a fan of good acting, not a fan of idols.
well i sense a detestable, hateful and ignominious presence from you.
I can say you haven’t seen her off stage or in real life. Your impression is formed from her roles.
Do you happen to know Nancy personally and learn about her private life?
@sandcherry Are you talking to me? I am just a fan that met her a few times. That’s all. She was nice and easygoing.
Joey:
You were right. I was talking to you. I thought you said that Nancy was very bad and mean in real life as you had met her. I am glad to learn that Nancy is a nice person.
As for most of us here, we have never met her. We support her just for her good acting.
Joey
Sorry. I misunderstood your post. Please accept my apology.
Nancy is definitely nice, though not an extrovert like Tavia, Myolie and Kate so she gives people the impression that she is cold.
If you can read chinese then you should read these weibo posts:

I met her, in a very short encounter. She was quite nice, in the group of artists that if having chance, I want to meet her again.
Nancy’s fans seems as vicious as her, attacking ppl who don’t like her. Get a grip, not everyone will like your little actresses. If she was all that popular, she would of had more endorsements. She acts the same in every drama, that is why there was hardly any breakthru until recently. She is getting noticed now so what more do her fans and her want? They just sound like they are out to get everybody else (Kenneth and nonfans) if we arent appeasing them.
The one who needs to get a grip is you. You sound like a pathetic girl who keeps attacking nancy for your own established beliefs which you have no concrete proof of her actual personality. Even if you do know her personally, what one thinks of another person is an opinion. You call out her fans like theyre doing something wrong. Ill tell you why fans react this way because people like you do not know when to stop.
Maybe youre so bitter about nancy is because she took Kenneth away from you? Oh I see youre one of those fans. Everyone becareful of ehh. This she, he or maybe it has hallucinations of being with her idol. Sadly her idol isnt interested in her. Now she needs to find contentment in her lonely soul by trashing nancy.
Btw, I do not feel a need to hold back my words as rude persona should always be treated rudely back.
ROFL. No idea how the above comments about encounters with Nancy can appear vicious. You need to get a life, compared to you who create stories of celebrities you dislike (yes, referring to Joe Chen), I wonder who’s the vicious one?
I guess I need to be more explicit.
I am EXTREMELY DELIGHTED Nancy is at least second lead in food for slaves!! YEAH!! Nancy is finally promoted!! This is a dream come true!! OMG THANK YOU TVB!! I LOVE TVB!!
Look at who is attacking at who, haha.
I have to say that ehh’s comments can be used for herself perfectly.
I am EXTREMELY DELIGHTED Nancy is at least second lead in food for slaves!!
—————————————————————–
No. I want Nancy to act 1st lead role in a 20-episode drama series. It is long overdue with her good acting. I will be disappointed if she is only a 2nd lead actress in “Food for the Slaves”, especially after so many rejections from other artistes. It seems that the storyline will not be too appealing.
If Natalie Tong and Sharon Chan could act 1st lead roles in drama series, why can Nancy Wu? Nancy’s acting is a lot better than the other two who still have some lazy intonations.
As I said before, Nancy’s acting can beat any of the new top 5 fadans’. She is just short of good luck.
Typo:
If Natalie Tong and Sharon Chan could act 1st lead roles in drama series, why can Nancy Wu?
———————————————————-
It should read “If Natalie Tong and Sharon Chan could act 1st lead roles in drama series, why can’t Nancy Wu?”
Lol. I was being sarcastic.”counting the blessings” 😉
She lacks the luck and somehow, her face can’t really leave a deep impression on the mind of ppl. But her acting is really good.
More catty nonsense from her fans. Just go to her fansite and stay out of public forums if you don’t like seeing criticism for her acting and face.
To ehh:
You are not only wasting space on this forum with your lack of analytical skills plus your overly annoying, arrogant, and ignorant traits, but you are also a waste of space on this planet. I pity your parents to have bore a child like yourself. Actually it could be your parents who are at fault for your childish and pathetic mentality.
If you can’t accept people disagreeing with your opinions (No, it does not count as criticisms because I don’t see how you can criticize someone’s face unless you’re a cosmetic professional), then you are the one who should remove yourself from this site immediately and peacefully. You are not only making yourself look bad but you’re embarrassing those who raised you.
Nancy Wu may not be a favourite actress to everyone, but most people agree that she is a good and versatile actress. Therefore, she deserves to have more opportunities, especially TVB is now lack of good actresses.
I get that looks (and sex) sells, but I don’t get why a good actress can’t EVER beat out a sub-par actress in a competition for a lead role, like, EVER. This is what puzzles me about TVB. Unless the role requires you to be some gorgeous goddess from the otherworlds, why can’t a Nancy Wu type be lead actress? I’m not really familiar with the Chinese entertainment industry, but in Japan, someone like Eri Fukatsu got lead roles despite not being a contender for a beauty pageant or any such thing. Even though she’s nearing forty now, she still gets offered lead roles and won 2010’s Best Actress award at Montreal Film Festival. She’s just an average-looking woman though. Yet you hardly see her as a “supporting actress”.
I guess it all boils down to “aura” then. Does Nancy have it, or does she not? After seeing her in Rosy Business, I’d have to say that, yes, if given they chance, she can prove herself to be one.
Article – “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to take on lead roles, so being able to star in Food for the Slaves is like a dream come true.”
Isn’t Joey Meng the female lead? So is Nancy the second female lead??
Who pair up with WCL will be the 1st lead. WCL’s role is the lead, not the King.
@KK:Nancy did not say the above quote in the translate, what she said in the original article is this: 即將開拍的新劇《食為奴》，很多人以為我會得償所願，其實，到這一刻，我也未肯定.
“In the upcoming new series, Food for Slaves, many people thought my wish would come true, actually to this moment I’m still not sure yet.”
Correct. I also read the original article in Chinese. The translation was not 100% correct.
Yes, things are always lost in translation…
@Fox & @clamine – Thanks for clarification.
Even being second lead or co leads can be considered an improvment from supporting. But the problem now is the script probably sucks. I’m very sure something there is something wrong with this series after tvb pull their top siusangs and fadans out of this.
If “there is something wrong with this series after tvb pull their top siusangs and fadans out of this”, I don’t want Nancy to act 1st or 2nd lead actress. It will ruin the future of her acting career. Once she fails, or if the viewership rating is very low, I don’t think she will have another chance to act 1st lead roles. It happens to any actress. For example, if Wayne Lai failed in “Rosy Business” and the viewership rating was low, he would never have another chance to act 1st lead roles. Don’t ever mention that he will get TV King awards.
Do you forget that in the same year with Rosy Business, Wayne had a failure with Click something – the 1st series he had first lead – but he still has the second chance with Rosy Business?
Fox
Can’t remember the name of Wayne’s first drama series ….. the one with a failure. Can you please refresh my memory?
I dun rmb its name as well but I rmb it has Shirley Yeung, Macy Chan, Sonija and Patrick Tam. It’s the start for Macy Chan and Patrick Tam’s love.
Fox:
I can’t figure out the name of your drama series. I thought that Wayne Lai’s 1st lead role was “Chai Gou” in , co-starred with Sheren Tang. His 2nd lead role was “Lau Sing” in <No Regrets", also co-starred with Sheren Tang. He also got a lead role in a sitcom , which was filmed around the same time as “Rosy Business”. All Wayne’s roles before those two drama series were only supporting roles.
Corrections:
I thought that Wayne Lai’s 1st lead role was “Chai Gou” in , co-starred with Sheren Tang.
I think Fox is talking about Click入黃金屋 aka Pages Of Treasures.
DC
Thanks for your info. I did not watch that drama series or paid much attention. I did remember the name of the drama series though since the name was a bit funny.
Yup it’s the series I talked above. This one is Wayne’s real 1st leading role, not Rosy Business. It was a big failure in rating or attention but nobody really care :D.
Glad that Wayne Lai had a second chance, but not many artistes would get a second chance. In fact, if Wayne Lai did not get a custom-made character, Chai Gou, from Producer Lee Tim Sing in and co-starred with Sheren Tang who was well-known for good acting, he might not boost his popularity so well.
Therefore, a good character, a good script, and a good partner would definitely help promote any artistes in drama series.
I hope Nancy Wu’s 1st lead role will be backed up by a well-written character and a good script. Otherwise, no matter how good Nancy’s acting is, she will not become popular and established as a 1st lead actress.
This applied to many artistes, such as Wayne Lai in “Rosy Business”; Kenneth Ma in “The Hippocratic Crush”; Ruco Chan in “The Other Truth”; Joey Meng in “Inbound Troubles”; Eliza Sam in “Divas in Distress”, etc.
damnn there’s alot of comments :O anyways congrats to nancy! it’s about time. she was always an excellent actress 🙂
To stress her point, Fala added, “You’re lucky when a good role lands on you. If you’re unlucky, no matter how much work you put in is useless.”
—————————————————————
It is very true. If TVB wants you to win TV Queen/King awards, you need every bit of the above. Good acting will not always work.
