Katy Kung’s Breakout Year​


1623243707644.png


Luck has never been closer to Katy Kung (龔嘉欣) than this year. Not only did she star in four of the dramas released in 2020, but she also secured her first Best Actress nomination at the upcoming TVB Anniversary Awards for her performance in Death By Zero <殺手> after 13 years in the industry. The 31-year-old is also a contender for the Favorite Female Character award with her performance in the currently airing hit drama Hong Kong Love Stories <香港愛情故事>.

Being shortlisted for two major awards, she expressed, “I feel so lucky and happy. I definitely have confidence [to win]; this confidence comes from the affirmation of the audience.”

Indeed, she garnered positive feedback in her dramas this year, playing the villainous Yip Sai Mo in The Dripping Sauce <大醬園>, the crazy assassin Dark Angel in Death by Zero, and the down-to-earth Hong Konger Katy Yau in Hong Kong Love Stories. And at the end of the month, she will grace the small screen again with The Offliners <堅離地愛堅離地>.

Without a powerful individual backing her career, Katy said she poured her blood, sweat, and tears into each performance to gain the audience’s approval surely but slowly. “The three roles have shown the audience the different sides of me. It is really satisfying for me. If I had been nominated a few years ago, I was not mature enough then. The timing is just right for this year’s nomination, and it is definitely an affirmation.”

She added, “Death by Zero is a huge breakthrough for me. It was really not easy acting out the emotional scenes or martial arts scene, but I tried my best. I didn’t expect the audience to like this role, so I feel very satisfied and happy.”

First Time Visiting a Love Hotel

Continuing to challenge herself via different roles, Katy said she never contemplated whether or not to accept the job offer for Hong Kong Love Stories, in which she shares intense bed scenes with Joey Law (羅天宇). She shared, “I have worked with director Lincoln Lam (林肯) on several dramas. I didn’t hesitate [to accept the drama] because he was very convincing when he came to me with the role, and the story is fresh.”

The actress continued, “As for the sex scene, it was originally more daring. The director asked me to wear a bra with a front clasp for Joey to take off, but I immediately rejected the idea after listening to it. I really can’t accept it.”

In the drama, the two enjoy time alone as a couple in a love hotel. Smiling, Katy said it was her first time going to one, so it was an eye-opening experience. “If I wasn’t an entertainer and my significant other proposed to go to one, I would agree,” Katy said. “But there are many types of fun. Cooking together can be fun too; you don’t have to go to a love hotel.”

Willing to Live With In-Laws

Unlike her character in the drama, Katy is not struggling to buy a property. At the beginning of the year, she spent nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase a property, officially joining the homeowners club. “When I first started paying the mortgage, it seemed like it’ll take very long to pay off everything. I sometimes wondered whether I really needed to buy the property after I bought it. Now, I have to carry this unit for the rest of my life, and it’s pressuring being frugal in all aspects,” Katy frankly shared.

However, Katy doesn’t mind living with her husband’s family in the future. “I think it’s okay and fully understand it. When I was young, I insisted on living alone as a couple, but I don’t think it’s good if children are not around to take care of their aging parents. If we live together and everyone has space, I think it’s okay because I think it’s great if my other half is filial.”

Sisley Choi Responds to Controversy Over Best Actress Win​


1623422082806.png


The 2020 TVB Anniversary Awards named Sisley Choi (蔡思貝) Best Actress for her performance in Legal Mavericks 2 <踩過界 II>, successfully beating out another favorite Katy Kung (龔嘉欣). Some netizens did not think Sisley is ready for the award yet, and believed that Katy who has been with TVB for more years deserved Best Actress instead of the consolation awards she received. Nevertheless, both actresses are overjoyed with their awards and being recognized for their performances.

Sisley Comments on Winning Best Actress

Sisley’s career is growing at a rapid pace since joining the entertainment industry seven years ago. In 2017, she won the Most Popular Female Character Award for Legal Mavericks <踩過界> and the sequel elevated her to an even higher pedestal. While confessing that winning Best Actress has always been one of her goals, Sisley never thought about how long it would take to earn the title. Instead, Sisley felt it was rewarding when her colleagues congratulated her and commented on her growth.

“I work hard and hope that I can do well in every aspect. It’s not just in acting, but also how I interact with people. I strive for improvement in even the finest details. Since participating in Miss Hong Kong until now, the road was not easy. I don’t want to make false promises, so I want to prove myself with my actions. Right now, I am very happy.” The actress, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder three years ago, has to learned to cherish herself more.

When asked if her rumored boyfriend Hubert Wu (胡鴻鈞) congratulated her yet, Sisley responded, “I didn’t bump into him after receiving the award, but he wished me good luck. I will celebrate with him since we are friends.”

Katy Sincerely Thanks the Audience

Although Katy was a strong contender for Best Actress, she ended winning up two awards: Most Popular Female Character for Hong Kong Love Stories <香港愛情故事> and Malaysia’s Favorite TVB Actress for Death by Zero <殺手>. Flattered by the recognition, Katy thanked the audience for their support, “This time, I am glad that they gave me a lot of encouragement. Having viewers’ recognition is very important to me.”

Owen Overjoyed with Two Awards

Like Katy, Owen Cheng (張振朗) confessed that he never imagined that he would win any awards and felt moved seeing his co-stars Sisley and Vincent from Legal Mavericks 2 win TVB’s Best Acting awards. For this reason, Owen’s mind went blank after winning the Most Popular Male Character Award and the Best Partnership Award (alongside Vincent and Brian Chu 朱敏瀚) for their performances in Al Cappuccino <反黑路人甲>

Due to the shock and strong emotions of being called up to the stage, Owen accidentally left out his girlfriend and ViuTV actress Renci Yeung (楊偲泳) in his winning speech. When the media asked if it was intentional, Owen replied, “She will understand. I thank her every day. We will celebrate with a dinner with just the two of us.”
