In the movie starring Charlene Choi and Chapman To, Gao Yun Xiang portrays the role of an artist being managed by Ah Sa. As a new artist filming a movie, he is left suspended on a high wire while everyone else leaves for dinner, paying no attention to him. As it turns out, it is Ah Sa's personal experience. When she was a new artist, she was also once hoisted up on a high wire, but because Kristy Yang returned from having her makeup retouched, everyone needed to film her first. Ah Sa was ignored and was at risk of falling to death. Meanwhile, in the film Ah Sa and Chapman To go from disliking each other to respecting and admiring each other. However in reality, after the two of them had a falling out for five years because of Ronald Chang and their resolved their resentment, Ah Sa will film an R-rated movie for Chapman.
Twins were popular as soon as they debuted; in 2001 Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung filmed their first television series, making a guest appearance in the TV series "The Monkey King: Quest for the Sutra" starring Dicky Cheung. Ah Sa and Ah Gil traveled to Hengdian in the severe winter to play the roles of Purple Orchid and Purple Rose. Ah Sa said, "At that time, I was a new artist. Of course, I did not have a chair to sit and stood all day on the film set, waiting to film. When Kristy Yang arrived, of course she was filmed first. Later when she needed her makeup retouched, I was immediately told that I would be filmed. That scene required me to be suspended on top of a ten foot high pagoda, and the area at the top of the pagoda only had a few bricks. After going up suspended and filming for a while, Kristy Yang returned after her makeup was retouched. They immediately went to film her and did not pay attention to me again. I was standing on the top the whole time. My filming outfit was chiffon material. I remember the weather was very cold and I was extremely cold at the top of the pagoda. Suddenly, a staff member pulling the wire loosed their grip. Because I was standing unstable, I immediately slipped and fell. A staff member who saw the situation immediately pulled me back up. At that time, I was frightened to death and really almost fell to my death. When they filmed me again, I was so scared that I practically could not act. After filming this scene, I heard a staff member yelling at someone, asking who forgot to return the wiring worn by the actors. Only then did I know that it needed to be returned to them; I was even yelled at for a while. That time because I fell and then I was suddenly pulled back up vigorously, the area around my pelvis was swollen and bruised.
So when I filmed , after Gao Yun Xiang was suspended on the high wires, when the director said to go for dinner, staff members did not let him down out of their personal convenience. This scene made my emotions well up because it really happened to me. So working with 9 new artists this time, I did my best to give them space to be comfortable. I did not want them to feel pressure from filming scenes with me. Otherwise, they would not be able to perform."
Chapman To: Ah Sa did not pay attention to me for 5 years At the moment, Ah Sa and Chapman have been working together continuously. First, there is the movie "The Midas Touch" and recently there is a Mainland China movie "Let Go For Love" where the two of them act as a couple, and the two of them look like buddies at public events. The initial impression was that they have always had a sincere personal friendship. However in reality, they once hated each other for 5 years. Because of Chapman's sharp tongue, it is not at all surprising that Chapman provoked much hatred. However, it was unexpected that always goodhearted Charlene Choi also once hated him. Ah Sa said, "You don't believe it? This is a Scorpio's personality. I will definitely remember those who are good to me. The people who have mistreated me, I will definitely not treat them well. I hold grudges; I hated him (Chapman), hated him until he was out of my list. I acted as if he was invisible, as if I could not see him. I ignored him for 5 years; ask Chapman to tell why himself." Chapman said, "The degree to which she hated me was like seeing a ghost. She really treated me as if I was invisible and could not see me. I was making a movie with Pang Ho Cheung and Pang Ho Cheung wanted to ask Ah Sa to film it. She asked if Chapman To was the movie producer, if it was she was not going to film it. I said to Pang Ho Cheung, you make it yourself! If I am there, Ah Sa will not accept (the role)! He said, then how will that work? In the end, the film was not made, it was left unresolved. After I joined EEG, Mani told me that Ah Sa said to her: You signed this kind of person? Then you'll know how much she hated me."
Talking about the cause that day, Chapman said animatedly, "At that time, Ah Sa and Ronald were together. That evening, I was out drinking wine with Ronald. It goes without saying that we were definitely drunk, which night were we not (drunk)! It we not enough when we drank until we were drunk, so we went to my house and continued to drink. That evening, Ah Sa called many times. When Ronald and I arrived outside the door of my home, the phone was ringing again. I drank too much and grabbed Ronald's phone, picked it up and said to Ah Sa: "B*tch, you are really f*cking annoying. You called so many f*cking times, do you know that you are really f*cking annoying. I am telling you right now, Ronald is not going home tonight. Eat by yourself tonight!" Ronald immediately grabbed the phone back to talk and from a foot away, I could hear Ah Sa on the phone loudly yelling at me. She said more or less, "What kind of person is this, he is crazy! Why is he swearing at me?" Ronald just casually said to Ah Sa, "He is just joking, it's nothing!" But since then on, Ah Sa did not pay any attention to me again."
Took the initiative in the plane cabin to resolve the grudge Just one thing disturbed Ah Sa like this? Ah Sa indignantly fired a glance at him and said, "There's more! Of course there are still other things!" Chapman curiously said, "There is more?" Ah Sa said, "You drank too much so you don't know. Ask your wife, she knows the truth. Even though I did not look at Chapman, when he later joined the company, I saw him out of the corner of my eye. I heard many people say that he had changed; quit smoking, quit drinking, and converted to Buddhism. My perception of him had gotten a bit better. At that time, I also though, it is actually very exhausting to be bothered by someone. Since he has changed, I am willing to accept him." Chapman continued and said, "Two years ago, Ah Sa and I went to Chengdu at the same time for an event. That time on the plane, we were sitting in a section with only me and her. Of course I did not dare to sit together with her; I sat behind her. When I looked at her from behind, I thought, Ah Sa really holds grudges. If I do not apologize, I am dead! No, son of a gun, here I come! As a result, I reached between two seats and tapped Ah Sa. Embarrassed, I said to her, "Ah Sa, sorry!"
Ah Sa said, "I was actually also very embarrassed. I had never encountered this kind of situation before. I did not know what I was supposed to say, so I just said, "Don't be silly! I have forgotten it!" Chapman indicated that at that time, Ah Sa was wearing a face mask so he could not see her embarrassed look. "After apologizing, that evening Die Sum (Ah Sa's assistant) came over to look for me and said that Ah Sa asked me to eat hotpot together!" Did Chapman offend any other people? He humorously said, "Yes, a safe guess is 100 000 I am not aware of. Those I am aware of, I do not have the courage to apologize to each and every one." Ah Sa said, "After I became close with Chapman, I instead learned a lot from him. I have also said the wrong thing and offended people. So I am very afraid of saying the wrong thing again. In order to not say the wrong thing, I would rather have lied, even not daring to talk more. Now, I feel that if I say the wrong thing, then I will say the wrong thing. This is something I really admire about Chapman. Before when he did not think before he spoke, his words hurt others. Now he will change his manner and use a funny way to say it. He directs it at matters, not people. He often speaks up for society and the vulnerable. I currently admire him; he is a Hong Kong hero in my eyes."
Looking at William Chan as a potential marriage partner Chapman recently established a film company and Ah Sa will act in his first movie. She said, "In recent years, the roles I have played focus on entertaining and making everyone happy. For a very long time, I have not filmed a movie with a very strong theatrical air. Just like "Diary", this kind of role that really required acting abilities to play. The first film that Chapman asked me to film will be a movie that only people 18 years and older can watch in theaters. It is a social subject matter based on societal phenomenon. I feel that this role is very challenging; now I want to film this kind of role."
Since Ah Sa and William Chan started dating, they have each been busy. Every once in a while, there will be rumors about them breaking up. But the actual situation is that nevertheless, they cannot be knocked over by the wind and Ah Sa regards him as a potential marriage partner. "Actually, every time I date I have this way of thinking. If I do not think the other person is a potential marriage partner, then I would not start it. It is pretty good now! I am very happy and I really enjoy this feeling. I just do not want everyone to constantly put their line of sight on my love life, so I do not want to talk about him. We have no plans to get married; we will only consider marriage in the future if we want to have a baby. After all, I am still like a little kid, unsuitable of taking care of another. I think that getting married and having children at 40 is most ideal. I am not worried about being an older women giving birth. My maternal aunt was 40 years old when she gave birth to my cousin. He is half a year younger than I am, an orthopedic doctor. Last year, he even held a piano performance at the Convention Center and I also went to support. (Does William also feel that you are of marriageable age at 40?) It is my own thought, I do not know what he thinks, you ask him haha!"
