TVB series Always and Ever's finale is airing this weekend. In the series, Mandy Wong and Rebecca Zhu appear during the 1950s lifetime where they got the opportunity to compete on beauty, sexiness and dancing skills. After they finished filming this series, they didn't have a chance to meet again until their interview with [Apple Daily]. Rebecca pointed at Mandy and scolded: "Your role (Tin Chau An) is so bad! So despicable! You fight over everything, you set houses on fire, you steal boyfriends, steal money and treat your sister terribly! Watching the series again, I saw you have an evil look on your face in every scene. You were so into character and brought me into character as well."
Must Have a Dark Side Mandy Wong has accumulated 6 years of acting experience, her analysis on each role is very three dimensional. She said: "This is a tragic role, many Netizens have left messages telling me they're watching and scolded me badly! I actually think my role is very miserable, her life is just filled with revenge and resentment. Even if she's married and has a son, she's still filled with resentment when she dies. She takes on so much pressure in her life!" Mandy spent a lot of time trying to handle this role and shared her experiences with her junior Rebecca. "When reading the script, I have to constantly convince myself on how I'm going to do this. I must look negative and have a dark side. I've done several semi-evil roles before, many people have asked me why I'm always so evil. First, artists are very passive and perhaps many in the audience will be yelling at you, but that means people are watching and they're really into the series."
Breakthrough Manipulation Mandy learned good and evil from her tragic role Tin Chau An, but how can people separate black and white. As a newcomer, Rebecca sighed: "The Rebecca Zhu in real life isn't like her role (Lam Yim Fong). She will only work hard on dancing more and earning more money. She won't take advantage of everything she can!" Conversely years after baptism, Mandy has a different view on life. "Sometimes the roles isn't about good or bad, people are very three dimensional. A person will never be too good, there will always be a dark side. People should be like that. People change, so my role should change too. I don't believe you never thought of bad things before!"
Mandy suddenly went back to the topic of acting, she said: "Sometimes there are a lot of restrain, but will that damage my image? I learned to let go after the role Kwan Yee So!" Rebecca, who was listening to Mandy attentive, quickly asked: "Then how did you overcome this issue?" Mandy: "Since my first series, it was after I participated in Miss HK, I treated myself like a blank white piece of paper. I let others manipulate me, portraying 'Am Chun Mui' (Suspects in Love), 'Lai Shui Mui' (Divas In Distress) and 'Kwan Yee So' (L'Escargot), I had to be very open and cannot think whether I look pretty or not. Well of course, some angles still must look good! Be free and flexible, I'm still learning too!"
Different Views on Love Nobody can say "Three Lifetimes of Fate", Mandy and Rebecca didn't dare to say much about this lifetime. Stuck at the TVB City and working mostly in the studios, how can a lover pass through the walls and meet them? Rebecca was starting to worry: "We're too passive, why would others take initative to pursue us? What to do? So many girls take initiatives, should I be doing the same or should I be myself? I'm still thinking!" Many expressed she will remain committed to her own views: "I believe in fate. When fate comes, you cannot stop it even if you tried, so I won't deliberately go pursue anything."
