Sharon Chan Fawns Over Both Sides, Denies Using Stephen Chan’s Influence To Gain Leading Role

TVB Fadans Sharon Chan (陳敏之) and Fala Chen (陳法拉)  had been rumored to be under the “Stephen Chan (陳志雲) camp”. Yesterday, during their costume fitting with Roger Kwok (郭晉安) for TVB new drama Schemes of East and West《東西宮略》, Sharon was asked whether she had only gained this opportunity of having a leading role because she was one of Stephen’s “beloved generals”. In reply to this, Sharon responded, “There’s no relation. It was implemented a few months ago.” (Reporter: Are you a pledged follower of the “Stephen Chan camp”?) “He is my good boss, friend as well as my “shifu” [teacher], teaching me how to be a emcee. Everyone does not have any camp, all one of us.”

Although she was allegedly in the “Stephen Chan camp”, Sharon fawned over Virginia Lok (樂易玲) by thanking Virginia for helping her to fight for this role. When mentioned about how Stephen’s reprisal of his position is beneficial to her, Sharon responded, “Never gave any thought to that. I’m just thankful to God that he’s alright now. I was previously worried for a long time. But because I’m a “witness” in that lawsuit, it was not convenient to talk too much. However, now that he’s alright, I can finally heave a sigh of relief. I did message Stephen to ask after him and he replied that everything was fine.”

As for Fala Chen, she will be acting as Zhong Wu Yen (鍾無艷) [an intelligent and capable woman in the periodic times who was born with an ugly red birthmark on her face] in “Schemes of East and West”. Fala expressed that she did notice that Stephen has returned to work. Asked whether she’s part of the “Stephen Chan camp”, Fala laughed and joked, “In the past, people have said that I’m in “Catherina Tsang‘s (珍姐派) camp, Virginia Lok’s (樂易玲) camp, I have been linked to all the parties except the rebel party.”

On the other hand, Roger Kwok expressed his congratulations to Stephen Chan for seeing the clear skies after a storm, “Stephen Chan and I were previously familiar with each other but because I had to take care of my son after that and go back to the Mainland for work, we haven’t been keeping in contact with each other that often anymore.”

In other news, while filming outdoors for the new drama series yesterday, Fala bumped into Best Actor Chow Yun Fat (周潤發) who had ever paid attention to her performances. This caused Fala to be infatuated with delight and even posted her photo taken with Chow Yun Fat on Weibo and wrote, “Fa-Gor was standing behind me and watching me act. I was trying my best to gather my concentration. Aiyahs, that pressure was so huge!” Koni Lui (呂慧儀) had also snapped a photo with Chow Yun Fat too.
