"No Return" Sub Song (Joey Law & Hera Chan Duet Version)


紅蝴蝶 《巾幗梟雄之懸崖》 插曲 - 羅天宇/陳曉華

作曲: 葉肇中/鄧智偉
填詞: 陳詩慧

妳足以傾城的兩眼 較花與草還璀璨
然而眉目恍惚飄散有一絲慨嘆

流水透徹出我倆 沿路滿佈風霜也雪亮
天空灰暗 愛得到了景仰

世間甚麼愛叫純潔 妳甘願化振翅紅蝴蝶
飽經挫折 傷口淌血都不至會磨滅
世間甚麼愛叫純潔 處在絕望仍力竭
留守最尾一起哪怕歷劫

Tavia Yeung Wants to Compete for TV Queen, Tells Lin Xia Wei and Nancy Wu: "Don't Have to Yield to Me!"

TV queens Tavia Yeung and Lin Xia Wei, Edward Ma, and Mat Yeung went to Kwun Tong today to attend a promotional event for the anniversary series "Darkside of the Moon". At the event, it was announced that the seven-day cross-platform consolidated rating for the series' fourth episode was 21.2 points (approximately 1,380,000 viewers). When the actors were playing a game on stage, Tavia's role as 「Moon姐」 was incorrectly called other names by other artistes deliberately, being incorrectly called "Night Beauties"' 「Mon姐」 by Mat and "The QUEEN of News"' 「Man姐」.

When interviewed, Tavia laughingly said that she does not want to be close with Mat anymore: "I don't want to call him 'younger brother' anymore". Mentioning the ratings, Tavia and Xia Wei both expressed being highly satisfied. Tavia pointed out that she has noticed that Mainland netizens have a high level of discussion about the plot, and said that she understands that it is more difficult for people in this generation to sit down and watch series, but hopes that series will get better and better. She also pointed out that even her mom has been chasing after the series to support her, saying that she has recently been busy with doing promotional work, so she has not been sitting down to accompany her mom to chase after the series together much, but her mom would report to her that she is so nervous that her heart beats faster every time she is chasing after the series. She has also suggested to her mom that she could watch a few episodes at once online, but her mom insists on having to wait for the TV broadcast.

Xia Wei expressed that many friends around her are following the series, highly praising the exciting plot. Her friends would also find her for spoilers; even her hairstylist, makeup artist, and fitness coach would ask about the plot, laughingly saying, "Because they also think that our plot is very intense and really want to continue to chase after it, and they all say that my character is very bad". She also said that the ratings cannot be controlled; the most important thing is that everyone has already done his or her duty as an actor. Mentioning that she shared sexy fitness pictures on social platforms, was it to give benefits to boost the ratings? She expressed that she has always had the habit of working out; plus, this generation of viewers now has high requirements for actors, hoping to be able appreciate more subtle areas, and also feels that working out can make oneself more healthy and energetic, also pointing out that she now has the thought of gaining muscle: "Because a lot of people also previously said that I'm too thin. Plus, there is also a lot of work coming up, so also want to train to get fitter". Tavia also expressed that she wants to work out with Xia Wei, and believes that, being in front of the screen, there is a need to constantly sculpt and keep a good condition.

Speaking of them and Nancy Wu being considered as hot candidates for the TV queen throne, Tavia expressed that she has not taken part in these grand events for a long time, so she really wants to take part in them, and laughingly said, "You guys don't have to yield to me. I will vote for myself". She also told Xia Wei to also vote for herself. Xia Wei said that she is keeping a normal attitude toward awards and feels that this year's role is considered one of her representative works...is already very happy to receive everyone's approval and comments. She also pointed out that there are many excellent series this year, including "No Return", which stars her good friend, Nancy. Xia Wei laughingly said, "No one loses this year. Only the viewers win because everyone is able to watch a lot of good series". Asked whether feelings would get hurt with three good friends competing for the award together, Tavia and Xia Wei both expressed that they would not: "If everyone in a series has the opportunity to be nominated together, it means that it is popular and that the viewers also like us". They also said that the award they want to win the most is the 'Best Series' award.

Tavia Yeung Acts as a 'Tiger Mom' Outside of Series, Is Both Strong and Gentle

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

Ta Kung Pao Clip

Wen Wei Po Clip

Tavia Yeung has put her family first since she gave birth to her daughter and son and became a mother, and her performances in front of the screen have been greatly reduced. Recently, she finally has a new work released, playing the queen of revenge in the new series "Darkside of the Moon", already having destructive power with a single look and being highly praised by viewers. The series has even topped many hot lists in Mainland. Tavia, who is being called a hot favourite for 'TV Queen', is keeping a normal attitude toward awards; in reality, she has to play the role of a 'tiger mom' well.

Tavia expressed in an interview with Ta Kung Pao that, this time, she played 'Yu Moon Yuet', who carried out a series of plans for revenge in the series, and every step was full of scheming and deployment; it was extremely satisfying to play this role. TVB also has fewer series with the theme of female revenge, which is a challenge for her. Regarding being highly praised by netizens for her sharp and powerful eyes, Tavia said that she previously played more strong women, and there would be more dialogue, but this character hides a lot of her feelings in her heart, which cannot be expressed in words and can only be expressed with the facial expressions and eyes, hoping that the viewers would be able to see it in these subtle places.

Particularly Immersed When Playing Sisters with Elder Sister

The emotional scenes of the three sisters in the series also left an impression on her. She and her biological sister, Griselda Yeung, also acted as sisters in the series, which made her particularly immersed. Her elder sister's performance spurred her on. Priscilla Wong played her younger sister; it was their first collaboration, but there were also sparks. The three of them also have a sisterly relationship outside of the series; through this series, they all improved their acting skills. Apart from the emotional scenes of the three sisters, Tavia also had many scenes with Lin Xia Wei, who played her classmate. In the past, it was easy for gossip to circulate among actresses, but it was extremely harmonious this time, and everyone worked happily together. Tavia laughingly said, "In fact, I have been filming series for so many years, and there has not been much gossip. We all work hard to play our characters well, and there is no need to resort to trickery. Every actor has an outstanding area to show off his or her natural skills, and it deserves to be appreciated. Everyone has different qualities; there is no need for a minor issue to take precedence over a major one and to steal other people's spotlight".

Would Tavia perform as a husband and wife partnership with her husband, Him Law? She thought for a moment and said, "Could also. If there is a suitable script and role, there would always be a slot for it. I don't mind performing as a husband and wife partnership, but it would not be too good if playing a married couple. Can be arch enemies. Also played arch enemies when filming 'Modern Dynasty' previously. I think that, if [we] are playing a married couple, viewers may not want to see the two of us hug and kiss in front of the camera". In recent years, reality shows have become popular. Tavia admitted that someone had asked their family to shoot a family reality show earlier, but the schedule could not be accommodated at that time, and there was also the pandemic, so [they] declined. She thinks that, if it is shooting the experience of the family going on a trip, it is okay...can let the children experience it and act as a keepsake, but she herself is not used to having cameras shooting her for 24 hours a day, as there is a private life.

Hopes to Collaborate and Battle with Charmaine Sheh in Acting Again

Mentioning that she and Nancy Wu, the female lead of another anniversary series, "No Return", have become the hot favourites for 'TV Queen', Tavia believes that Nancy's thoughts are similar to hers; everyone is also keeping a normal attitude. She said, "It has always been like this. Would not put the award first. On the contrary, [if] the series has good results and viewers like it, I am even happier. Everyone's approval of my acting skills is already enough, so there is no need to think too much about it. It is okay to do a good job of yourself". It has been pointed out the her character is like 「Man姐 2.0」. Netizens are looking forward to her collaborating and battling with Charmaine Sheh in acting. Tavia expressed that, if there is a suitable role, she also looks forward to collaborating with Charmaine again. The last time they collaborated was already "Beyond the Realm of Conscience". If a script is able to find so many actors to come back to film, she also finds it very captivating. Mentioning that Him's work this year, "Happily Ever After?", also had good results, and he even publicly expressed that he wants to win awards with his wife, Tavia said, "I believe that he hopes for us to be on stage to let [our] children see our results and see our efforts, and let the next generation see the importance of upholding one's initial intention. Of course, it would be best if we win awards together".

Last night, artistes Tavia Yeung, Michael Miu, Lin Xia Wei, Vincent Wong, Matthew Ho, Mark Ma, Griselda Yeung, et al. did a recording for the TVB programme "Super Trio - TVB Anniversary Special 2024".

Tavia's voice was hoarse; she expressed that she got infected by her son earlier but has already recovered now, and also pointed out that her voice is very magnetic now, laughingly saying that her husband, Him Law, thought that there was a man sleeping next to him. Tavia also pointed out that it was actually her first time taking part in "Super", expressing that, due to [her] hoarse voice, [she] is unable to scream as much as [she] wants, and felt that it was unfortunate: "Find a spot to do a vocal warm-up later. I want to scream and explode the mic". Asked what game she would like to play the most, she expressed, "Whatever la. [If] dying, then dying. (It seems as though it's going to get wet?) I have already prepared a burlap sack to slip on while walking". She also laugingly said that there are good teammates who could help with taking over. Mentioning that Vincent has finally returned to the team, Tavia expressed that Vincent is very busy and has a lot of promotional work to do. Asked whether he would be attending the promotions of the series "Darkside of the Moon" afterward, she said, "I think that, [if] his schedule works, should be able to". She also revealed that there are a few scripts currently in discussion, expressing that, when filming series now, would be prioritizing her two children at home: "Because they are still too young now. I have to arrange everything so that [I] can feel at ease when working". [She] also said that taking care of children is a lot of hard work.

FYI: "Super Trio - TVB Anniversary Special 2024" peaked at 18.7 points (approximately 1,210,000 viewers).

Does Not Dare to Accept Praise for 'God-Level Acting Skills', Tavia Yeung Is Confident in Winning TV Queen Again and Considers Herself as a Strong Rival

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

Ming Pao Clip

Tavia Yeung has returned to her 'mother company', TVB, after six years to act in the series "Darkside of the Moon". Netizens praised her explosive acting skills. Her eyes and gradual sneer showed multiple emotions, which was chilling and has been called 'god-level acting skills', stirring up hot topics in Mainland and Hong Kong. She has been described as making a domineering return like her character, 'Yu Moon Yuet', in the series, becoming a hot favourite for TV queen at "TV Awards Presentation 2024". Her husband, Him Law, also laughed at her for 'acting out [her] true colours. Tavia expressed in an exclusive interview with Ming Pao [today] that she does not dare to accept the praise for 'god-level acting skills' and believes that there is still room for improvement. The viewers' response was unexpected for her. Is confident in winning TV queen again, but keeping a normal attitude and not thinking about who is her biggest rival; 'the biggest rival is myself'.

Tavia thanked the viewers for their praise for her acting. Although she has not returned to TVB to film a series for six years, she has actually not filmed series for two years. When filming "Darkside", was also worried about whether her acting skills had deproved because she had never filmed a series with a female theme. The character also has a dark past, and there had been series with a similar genre before, so thought that viewers would definitely compare; however, did not think much about it during the filming. Just focused on portraying the character 'Yu Moon Yuet' well, hoping to bring something fresh to the viewers. The response that came about was unexpected for her.

Transforms into the 'Ugly Person' and Becomes an 'Eyesore' for Her Children

Would she also be terrified when watching her own performance? Tavia said no: "The character has gone through so many things and has hatred in her heart. Viewers are terrified when watching because it is not a big, mean villain, but just shows hatred in order to get revenge. Everyone may not have seen me portray this type of role much. It has already been many years since [I] last played a villainous character". Would her husband, Him, find her scary? She laughingly said, "He said that I was acting out my true colours...have also been playing the role of a good wife and a good mother for many years. I laughed at him that it was too late to wake up now!" Being said to be able to even feel her domineering aura through the screen, would she also be making a domineering return to filming series? Tavia humbly denied it, saying that she had never left. The script created a great character and was also fortunate enough to act it out. She denied that she was equally domineering at home: "Him is mainly responsible for playing with the kids. I am responsible for trivial matters and the most troublesome matters of choosing schools, education, and extracurricular activities". She laughingly said that, when she is being the 'ugly person', she becomes an 'eyesore' for her children.

Happy That the Series Has Brought Many Commercial Performances to Make Money

Tavia does not agree that she has already reached 'god-level acting skills'...just portrayed the 'Yu Moon Yuet' character as she wanted. It just happens that viewers like this feeling. "Nowadays, viewers may not like watching dramas that are too exaggerated. Like watching plain and inner drama. They know how to analyze my facial expressions...sink into the role with me. Also don't think that I am an all-around actor. An all-around actor needs to sing, dance, and act. I can only say that I act and sing; there is still room for improvement. Want to challenge comedy in the future". She is very happy that both Mainland and Hong Kong viewers like "Darkside". The click rate and level of discussion are very high in Mainland, admitting that the series has brought many commercial performances and job opportunities. The pay is captivating, but still putting [her] children first, hoping to achieve a balance. Grateful for the support of [her] family, mother, and husband, helping to take care of the children so that she can go out to work without worries.

Revealing True Feelings When Acting as Sisters with Elder Sister for the First Time

Tavia and her elder sister, Griselda Yeung, acted as sisters for the first time in the series. Initially, she was worried it would feel strange having her elder sister play her elder sister, and that viewers would 'jump out of the scene' and find it difficult to get immersed. The two surprisingly revealed true feelings and felt the heartache that they experienced together the series. The filming was very smooth, and with Priscilla Wong playing the youngest sister with a fragile personality, it did not feel out of place at all among the three of them. Asked if she and Griselda quarrel in private, she expressed that, of course, they did. When they were younger, they fought over toys and talked back to each other, but it did not damage their sisterly relationship. "My sister and I have a great relationship. Because we have our own jobs and families, we don't see each other often, but we live close to each other, and sometimes we would also see each other once a month".

Talking about becoming a hot favourite for TV queen this year, is there confidence? Tavia said, "Must have confidence. Other series are also hot favourites. There is only one award...leaving it to the viewers to vote! I am very indifferent toward awards...facing it with a normal attitude. 'Darkside' has already gained popularity and public praise. For me, it is already a great report card. Winning an award is icing on the cake, adding another glorious chapter to the achievements in my career, and having wonderful memories. Is it very important? Of course not. The most important thing is the future of [my] children...how to nurture them and my performance reaching a higher level. However, awards can let [my] children see [their] mommy's hard work and encourage them to do their best in everything".

Giving Her Vote for TV King to Her Husband

Is "No Return"'s Nancy Wu her strong rival? Tavia said, "The biggest rival is myself. Just like the dialogue in 'Darkside', 'No matter how high you rise, there is a chance that you will fall just as low'. Don't turn everyone into an enemy; everyone is also a fair competitor. Fortunate to have such a good role for me to play this time. The role that is played next time may not be that remarkable. How to break through myself is actually the most important thing". She revealed that she and her husband would discuss each other's performances. For 'Happily Ever After?', which he previously acted in, she would also give her opinion after watching it. "He really acted well in 'Happily', and there was a great reaction. Perhaps viewers like things that are down-to-earth close to reality. The character that he played encountered problems faced by many young people and married couples; there were a lot of emotions and inner struggles, which resonates with viewers. Will give the vote for TV king to him".
