Selena Li (李施嬅) plays the younger version of Liza Wang's (汪明荃) character
in the currently airing TVB series Master of Destiny (風雲天地). She plays a
heavy role as she lives through a rough life, experiences the pain of
losing her husband, experiences almost being raped and reaches the stage
of facing poverty. Describing her character's life story as the
condensed version of The Greed of Man, Selena said: "I practically had
to cry for 16 hours each day, cry until my eyes were swollen. Each
morning, I had to use ice cold tea bags to reduce the swelling. When we
were filming, the temperature was close to forty degrees celsius,
causing us to use up lots of energy."
Although the filming schedule was tight and extremely
stressful, it was worth it since her acting was greatly praised by Liza
Wang. Selena said: "What I'm most happy about is that Liza praised me
three times, saying that I was able to bring out the 'flavors' of the
role. At that time, I was really emotional that I wanted to cry, all the
hard work was worth it. Liza's praise was a huge surprise so I felt
really happy as if I've won the lottery." Selena hopes that in the
future she will be able to collaborate with Liza again having scenes
together and she said: "After being praised by her, I actually feel more
stressful. If we are going to collaborate, I would have to stay alert
and be ready."
