31 May 2007 - i-cable's 'Tuition Queen' to challenge TVB

Yu On-on outshines, Ellen Chen loses temper

i-cable begin shooting new series 'Bou Jaap Tin Hau' and found five stars to film it, including Yu On-on, Ellen Chen, Monie Dong, Ng Tin Yu and Michelle Ye.  During the press conference, Yu On-on's low cut and fashionable dressing caused Ellen Chen who revealed her shoulders and waist to lose attention. Perhaps due to losing attention, Ellen Chen when asked why she was dressed so conservatively, she immediately lost her temper and blamed that something is wrong with the reporters standard, she felt that she was sexy enough.

Yu On-on dressed with a low cut attire yesterday, further outshining the group of stunningly dressed artists.  When Ellen Chen who only revealed her shoulders and waist was asked of why she had dressed so conservatively, she immediately lost her temper and questioned the reporters in return: "Do I count as conservative like this?  Must I reveal my chest? (yes!) I feel that everyone have their own style, I feel that I'm sexy enough." She also said that she did not come to compete sexiness or beauty, and later said: "You lots always try to stir up trouble, we will not have arguments because of this."

Is she afraid that having many female leads will cause many rumors? Ellen Chen feels that she has self-discipline.  As for the matter that Michelle Ye causes rumors, she flares up again saying: "Always say it was rumored by others, the others are you lots, I won't bother your news, I feel that she is very good."  Yu On-on also expressed she is not afraid of rumors, she has never bothered and will only do her part well.  She said: "If we get along well, we'll chat more, otherwise, we'll simply chat less."  Michelle Ye also expressed that she will concentrate to do her own job, and won't be afraid to cause rumors.  There were allegations that Kenix Kwok had intended to film this series originally but gave up to avoid her.  Michelle said: "Is that so?  I didn't know.  We've collaborated before in 'Reaching Out', we've always played mahjong together, rumors can't be the truth."

Michelle Ye did not offend TVB

Although Michelle Ye is filming for i-cable, she was quite conserved yesterday, and did not bad-mouth TVB.  But won't she offend TVB by filming for i-cable?  Michelle express she will respect all producers, and emphasized that she is not betraying anyone, only respecting contracts and scripts.  Besides, there was rumor that she had a performance earlier on with a very low price, she merely said: "No one actually knows my pay, I won't be unhappy over something that is not a fact."

Spencer Leung sends condolences to TVB

i-cable series 'Bou Jaap Tin Hau' had a press conference yesterday, Spencer Leung among the cast, although had came out from TVB, but instead repetitively challenged his old company, and claims to 'send condolences' to TVB.

i-cable had their press conference yesterday to announce their series 'Tuition Queen' casts, including Michelle Ye, Ellen Chan, Yu On-on, Monie Dong, Eric Kot and Spencer Leung etc.  Although the series has yet began filming, the group of female leads  first competed their sexiness in the conference, with Yu On-on grabbing the most attention as the most sexily dressed.  When asked if Ellen Chen felt that her conservative dressing had cost her to lose media attention, she flared up saying: "Is this called conservative? Don't tell me only revealing chest is called sexy? I don't compete for sexiness, I'm quite mature!"  She accused the reporters trying to stir up troubles.

Ellen Chen emotionally unstable

Later, Ellen Chen was asked if she was afraid to have rumors while filming with 'News Queen' Michelle Ye, she again became emotional and blamed the media: " People says she has lots of rumors because of you, media reporters nowadays have degraded.  Anyway, I will always preserve my own friendship." Because Ellen Chen was emotional and caught more attention than Michelle Ye, Michelle did not really bother to respond to the matter where Kenix Kwok was unwilling to collaborate with her and rejected the series: "We all got different roles, I know her quite well, we've even played mahjong together."

The whole press conference yesterday was full of 'war indication', besides Ellen Chen losing her temper towards the reporters, the group of artist also claimed onstage that they want to challenge TVB.  Spencer Leung even expressed that he wants to 'send condelences' to TVB, stirring quite a scene, and he later explained: "This is my own aim, I only wanted to remind them (TVB) that it is time to get up for a battle."  i-cable executive, Tsui Siu Ming said that he was unaware of Spencer Leung's claim.
