Nancy has been silently plowing through in the industry for over 10 years. She puts her heart into each and every one of her roles. The first 6-7 years after her debut, she frequently portrayed a villain, a mistress or other despicable roles. Then when her past relationship with the 'seun poon' Kenneth Ma surfaced, many thought Nancy wasn't good enough for him. "I thought, this is a person's destiny. Since I've been in the industry, producers gave me all the roles I have had. In the past, I had many despicable roles, but those roles had a lot of development. I had the opportunity to really train my acting skills. When you are a newcomer, you get excited no matter what role you get. As for some of the negative news, you said it caused a huge impact on me. Well, I think at the time it did affect me to some extent, but people eventually forget about it because your performance will cover some news."
She's exactly right. In 2012 she was finally recognized, she won the "Best Supporting Actress" award for her mute female boxer role in Gloves Come Off, and in last year's popular series Triumph in the Skies II[i], she made another breakthrough and caught a lot of attention as Coco, the surrogate mother. Based on her role Coco, she was again the Best Supporting Actress titleholder at the Astro's Malaysia TVB Star Awards. Coco in [i]Triumph in the Skies was Nancy's first role ten years ago, and ten years later she gets to play this role again. To Nancy, Coco is absolutely very meaningful and significant. "I could finally feel how important it is to have a likeable role. Haha, that was a very good start. I tried my hardest to let the audience know what I'm trying to do."
Different sparks created when collaborating with different artists. In Nancy's recent series Coffee Cat Mama, she plays a step-mother who frequently competes with Michelle Yim's character. In the series, Nancy replaces Michelle's role as Eliza Sam and Regen Cheung's mother. Nancy learned a lot from this senior, she carefully watched Michelle's acting style and stole some tips from her. This time, Nancy and her good partner Vincent Wong play best friends from childhood. She and Vincent have lots of chemistry and sparks. They shared their experiences with one another. Nancy has worked with many artists, such as TV King Wayne Lai, whom had brought her a lot of practical acting experience. She expressed Wayne is truly a qualified senior, she observes him whenever she doesn't have to film and if there were anything she didn't understand, she did not hesitate to ask him for advice.
Force Kissing Kate Tsui Felt Strange
In the entertainment circle, there is heavy competition among newcomers. Nancy is fortunate to have had a smooth sailing career and understands the principle of not falling behind. She expressed she has filming to do everyday and new jobs everyday. She will do her best in performing each of her roles well. She hopes to improve continuously on her acting. Last year, she completed a new series Midas and again made a breakthrough. In the series, she has to portray a lesbian and had an one minute force kiss with Kate Tsui. Nancy expressed usually she does have light kisses with her female friends, but she had never forced kissed a girl the way she had to in the series. She frankly expressed felt more nervous than kissing a guy. It was very strange feeling and joked Kate probably didn't feel any better, therefore this scene was indeed one of her most memorable ones. Nancy laughed and said Kate has thick lips, so it felt pretty nice kissing her. Also, Nancy guest starred in Tiger Cubs II as a cold-hearted murderer, which was another challenge for her as well. Nancy saves up all of her acting experiences and in the new year, she hopes to try more different types of roles and will make Best Actress her goal. Later this year, she'll be starting on a new series Business War in which she will play the first female lead. Nancy said: "I hope 2013 will be my last Best Supporting Actress nomination. Still in 2014, I can make more improvements and its not that I want to get any award in particular, but I will really put the effort into my work and if I get a Best Actress nomination, I'll be really pleased."
Boyfriend's Talents Are Most Attractive
With her career and love life going smoothly, Nancy has been dating her boyfriend Patt Sham, who works in advertisement for nearly two years. Although Nancy is very busy with her work, she's still frequently spotted by the media spending time with her boyfriend. Nancy expressed because of her boyfriend's job, he has become good friends with many artists in the industry, therefore he understands an artist's work environment. They mutually accommodate one another to keep a stable relationship. When speaking of what she admires about her boyfriend? Nancy smiled sweetly and expressed her boyfriend's artistic talent attracted her the most. The couple get along very well. Does she see her boyfriend as her lifetime partner? She frankly expressed every time she's in relationship, she always hope it lasts long, but at this point in time she does not have plans for marriage, work comes first. She laughed: "2013, it was rumored 4-5 times that we were getting married, I'm happy to see everyone wants me to get married faster, but I'm currently concentrated on my work."
