In just a blink of an eye, Charmaine Li has already been working at TVB for 9 years. Since her debut series
Sunshine Heartbeat,
she has been in many series over the years, but Charmaine frankly
expressed her contract with TVB is ending in May and has not discuss a
renewal yet. She said there are many other options outside of TVB
available to her. When asked of the chances of her renewing the
contract? She said without hesitation that other TV stations have met
with her as well, but nothing is confirmed yet. She expressed the most
important to her is not money, but the opportunities. "This year I will
be trying many new things, and now I'm thinking whether I should renew
the TVB contract or develop outside. Later, I will be hosting a new
radio show that is a lot like
All Things Girl. Also, I am taking
singing lessons in hope to plan for my future." It turns out, Charmaine
has her own online business where she sells diamonds.
In the
past, Charmaine focused on her acting in TV series, but after being with
TVB for so many years, she usually shoots ancient or pre-modern series.
She expressed she doesn't want to be branded to one type of role. She
hopes to try out different types of roles, such as a doctor, lawyer or
other professionals. She said: "I've been acting so long and now have
higher expectation on myself. I hope for new challenges on a higher
level and more opportunities. Money is not my most important thing, it
is the screen time and opportunity that is more important."
Charmaine
is currently taking singing lessons, asked if she has high ambitions in
this area? She said: "To me, singing is very deep. My husband (Ricky
Fan)had Dai Sze Chung as his singing teacher many years ago and had good
success. I hope I'll have achievements as soon as possible too, but
can't rush it. Have to take it slowly and practice more."
