Tavia Yeung's Villian Role Is Not Easy To Potray




Tavia Yeung who entered this industry in 1999 received recognition on her acting skills in recent years. This year, she even nominated for Best Actress in TVB Anniversary Award based on Yiu Kam Ling’s role in Beyond The Realm Of Conscience and gains as many supports as hot favourite, Sheren Tang. Regarding the recognition that she received for the first time portraying villain role, Tavia Yeung expressed that there were high pressures before that. When the official filming of the series began, she suffered from diarrhea regularly during filming due to pressures.


Recently, Tavia Yeung’s acting skills were being recognized by everyone. She received Most Improving Actress Award in 2003 and Best Supporting Actress Award last year based on Moonlight Resonance. This year, she is nominated for Best Actress Award based on villain role, Yiu Kam Ling. The popularity is just below “4th Mistress” Sheren Tang. Regarding the arrangements to portray villain role after portraying good roles for so many years, Tavia Yeung expressed that she is excited. This was because she could challenge herself.


Performance = 70%


Tavia Yeung expressed that she was in contradiction when she received the role. Yesterday when she accepted interview, she said, “When I discussed the story with producer for the first time, she asked me whether I regretted or not for portraying villain role. I was thinking whether I could regret or not. However all these while I was hoping to try out on villain role. This was because I could challenge myself. But I was worried that audiences couldn’t accept it and I was also worried that I did not let go myself enough during filming. Therefore, I was full of pressures.”


Tavia Yeung expressed that she kept on comfort herself during filming. In this way, she could let go herself to portray the role well. She said, “That time I was full of pressures from many aspects. After I finished filming this series, then only I know that someone will suffer from diarrhea due to pressures. Now only I know there is such illness as I suffered from diarrhea everyday due to pressures that time. Moreover, I was thinking about the level of evilness that I should present. I was afraid of over-evilness. After that, producer and a lot of seniors taught me not to think too much and not to have too much hesitation.”


However Tavia Yeung expressed that even if she exchanges the role with Charmaine Sheh, she will experience the same pressures too. “There are also high difficulties in portraying Ah Sheh’s role. It is just the inner acting between us that is different. Although this is the first time I portrayed a villain role, but I give myself 70 marks. I will not give myself too high marks because there is no 100% in acting field. If I have 100%, then I do not have to work anymore. Nothing is 100% as every artiste will have their own spaces for improvements.”


When asked about her confidence on this year’s Best Actress, she said, “The responses from audiences are good for my villain role. I’m very happy indeed. Of course everyone wants to win awards. However, these things are not under my control and the competitors are too strong. As long as the role gains recognition from everyone, I feel that I have already won.”


Do not dare to fight with Sheren Tang


When mentioned that strong competitor, Sheren Tang who is not TVB’s biological daughter and will lead to higher chances of Tavia Yeung to receive award, she said, “Awards are decided by audiences. TVB will listen to audiences’ opinions. Moreover, I don’t dare to fight with Sheren Tang. She really did well in her role and I’m also one of her audiences.”


Although she doesn’t dare to fight the award with Sheren Tang, but another competitor Kenix Kwok was rumoured to ex-change contracts with awards. Tavia Yeung said, “If Kenix can win the award this year, then it is double happiness. She really has her own acting capabilities.”


Hair ornaments too heavy, neck and shoulder red and swollen


The ratings for [Beyond] keep increasing. Although the casts are happy, at the same time they are facing pressures too. Although Tavia Yeung received praises on her acting skills, but there were netizens that criticized on her evilness during the beginning of the series. Tavia Yeung said, “The story of the series will develops slowly and I will not turn evil from the beginning. Only like this then there will be contrast.


Put efforts in memorizing classical Chinese dialogues


Tavia Yeung expressed that she put a lot of efforts in this series. “Actually a lot of dialogues were using classical Chinese word. Therefore, I put more efforts into memorizing the dialogues. Moreover, there were a lot of seniors in this series and led to motivation to myself to do even better. I really want to thank company and producer that gave this chance to me and I finally can see another side of myself.”


Other than tests on acting skills, actually the costumes from the series also gave challenges to Tavia Yeung. She said, “This was the heaviest style that I did before after entered this industry. I needed at least 2 hours to set hair and makeup. The hair and hair ornaments were so heavy. Sometimes my neck and shoulder became swollen. Although the hair ornaments were heavy, but the evilness feel immediately appeared when I put on that. This is because I’m too active and always jumping around in real person. I became much steadier and mature after I put on the hair ornaments.”
