[2011.04.11] MIRIAM YEUNG'S HUSBAND THROWS COLD WATER ON HER NOMINATIONc

The "laughing lady" Miriam Yeung Chin Wa in the past made mostly comedies. Earlier with the romance PERFECT WEDDING (PO PO CHIU GAI YUN) she won her first Best Actress award at the Film Critic Society. At the same time she was nominated for a Best Actress Hong Kong Film Award with LOVE IN A PUFF (JI MING YU CHUN GIU). The award show will take place in a week. Chin Wa honestly said that she was not nervous because her husband Real Ting Chi Ko already prepared her mentally.

Chin Wai spoke about the annual award show earlier. The Best Actress nominee was not nervous at all and she painted with light strokes throughout. She said, "I am not as nervous as I expected. My husband has already indoctrinated me with a lot of ideas, I am all calm." She pointed out that her husband would not only give her opinions on films but also on some reports. If he thought that she needed improvement he would suggest it to her.

Chin Wa pointed out that her husband said that this time she should not have much chance to win. She said, "I am OK. I am such a big girl now. I understand what he means. He hopes that I don't worry too much." Chin Wa said that it was very rare to find another half who listens and is able to give her power. Was she looking forward to it herself? She honestly said that whether with awards or something else, even record releases she would look forward to.

As for this year's competition, Chin Wa said that she has seen the other nominees' films. However she thought every film had a different subject, which was truly very hard to compare. For example Fiona Sit Hoi Kei's BREAK UP CLUB (FUN SAU SHUET OI NEI) character she would be too old to play; Sister Ka Ling (Carina Lau)'s DETECTIVE DEE (DIK YUN KIT) Wu Zetian had style and domination; (Josie Ho) Chiu Yi in DREAM HOME (WAI DOR LEI AH YUT HO) performance was thoroughly different from before; Tang Wei in CROSSING HENNESSY (YUET MOON HIN NEI SI) had a rhythm in her performance, which was different from the academic style in her mind. She did not know where the jury lines lay but she was very confident about "Chun Giu". Since she was emotionally calm, she would not have any pressure. LOVE IN A PUFF was a film that was close to reality, some viewers thought Chin Wa was playing herself. Yet some viewers thought her performance was "natural", which instead was hard to do. Chin Wa said, "Being naturally is very hard, so I have to believe in the director's evaluation. If the audience feels I am playing myself, it is still a sense of satisfaction. However it isn't completely me. I am tougher than 'Chun Giu'."

Chin Wa said that this year she will make movies as she will not stop working deliberately to have a baby. She said, "Even if I took a year off to have a child, I still might not be able to." She honestly said that the married life gave her strength. Her husband would not interfere with her work. He would only analyze for her as a consumer and would never stop her from making intimate scenes. At most he would not watch it. Why did she not ask her husband to be his manager? She said, "No way! He would be waiting to get fired. We can't work together, it would harm our relationship."
