Gillian Chung (Ah Gill) Chen Shuyi and Siu Mei-Gwan were rehearsing for the stage musical "I Ought to be in Pictures" (星爸亞爸) yesterday. Ah Gill had a support visit from Chief Executive Officer of Emperor Wu Yu, Joey Yung and Kenny Kwan. Wu Yu had brought some coffee along and Joey gave her a handbag full of lemons whereas Kenny gave her a massage stick. Ah Gill tried to impress them by performing part of the play, but she wasn't familiar with her lines, needing constant reminding. Ah Gill revealed that the play is a comedy, she wanted people to laugh till their throat hurt. She even puts an extra line in local dialect, which she learned it from her 90 years old grandfather. It was a pity that he has cataract, and wouldn't be able to watch the play.
Ah Gill has been trying to memorize the lines, she is worried that she may repeat her them. She has put in so much effort for this play, even turned down some jobs offered to her as well as postponing some commercial work. It is estimated that she has lost a chance to earn 7 figure sum of money. Ah Gill told reporter "I'd rather perform well in this play, there will be 6 plays. If I forget my lines, that would be even worse than losing money. I don't want to think about it." Joey has been visiting Ah Gill to see the rehearsal a few times, she reckoned Ah Gill has improved a lot. Joey revealed that she envies Ah Gill who is able to perform on stage, she wanted to do it badly too.
