Linda Chung most enjoys working with Steven MaLinda Chung most enjoys working with Steven Ma

Steven Ma and Linda Chung were shooting new TVB ancient series "The Legend of Pu Songling" earlier. The scene consists of them climbing up a tree and meeting each other for the first time. They also play a bickering couple in the series. Whether it's on screen or off screen Steven praised Linda for being very hardworking and that he was very lucky to work with her. Linda stated that she most enjoys working with Steven Ma. Even rumored boyfriend Raymond Lam cannot be compared.

Actors envy him and complain

Steven disclosed that in recent years he often worked with Tavia Yeung, Linda Chung and Fala Chen. Many male actors have said that they envy him. He said "Many male actors come up to me to complain. They ask me why the company always pairs me up with such young Fa Dan's? Actually I feel extremely lucky. All 3 of them have great qualities. They are very hardworking and put in a lot of effort. It is worth appreciation. But what I find most funny is that whenever I work with Tavia, we start off as lovers in the series but never have a good result at the end. However when I work with Linda we always play a bickering couple".


Linda praises Steven being Hardworking and Positive

As to Steven Ma saying he feels very lucky to work with Linda, she laughed and said "Of course! He always gets to work with 3 of TVB's most beautiful and youngest Fa Dan's. I also enjoy working with Steven. Out of the TVB male actors he is one of the most hardworking. He is positive and professional". (Do you enjoy working with Steven or Raymond Lam?) "I enjoy working with Steven more because he can teach me a lot of things".

Tavia Yeung, An Ancient Beauty

After graduating from Acting Training Class, Tavia Yeung participated in a lot of series as a cameo. It was not until Find the Light that she started to have chances as the female lead actress. At that time, Tavia Yeung acted as the daughter of a rich family, who has to inhale opium due to her serious asthma illness. She was misunderstood and ignored by her fiancé (Bosco Wong) who did not know the story behind it. She was very aggrieved. After this series, her chances in acting have never stopped coming.

Other than having an outstanding acting skill, Tavia Yeung’s beauty is also hard to forget, especially in ancient costume, she is very elegant, full of ancient beauty. In Sweetness in the Salt which has been broadcasted not long ago, Tavia Yeung acted as a salt smuggler’s daughter Dao Sing Suet. Even though she only had simple costume and make up, she still appears beautiful and doesn’t lose to Halina Tam, 黃泆潼, and Chan Hoi Yee who wore glamorous beautiful costumes.

Joey Yung attended an award ceremony earlier and brought home the Spokesperson Award. She reveals that most of the advertisements she films are usually very jumpy, very high physical activity, which can contribute to losing weight and say goodbye to the extra fat. It's no wonder she smiles and said: "I hope to do more advertisements! Then there's a fat wallet and you can look thin." Will she use Ah Gil's method and get Botox shots to lose weight on the arms? She laughed: "My life is practical, I should stick with counting on myself to do exercises. (If you wanted to do something, where will it be? The chest?) I actually quite enjoy a flat chest, looks more 'hot' with my clothes. Also when I'm dancing, theres no need to worry about too much meat up there, and audience's eyes won't go bad when watching me.
