Article Translation From Above:
Magazine headline: Charmaine Sheh, hard work for 7 years gained two apartment buildings.
Buying apartments to earn money- Already an owner of North Point's apartments, Charmaine bought another building earlier . "I didn't plan to move houses but last month, a real estate agent called me and introduced me to some apartments, I went to have a look, not intending to buy them. But after I saw them, they were not bad and I wanted to buy them" [Would you sell your current house?] "No! I really like this house, the view from front and back is beautiful, I can see fireworks and the surroundings are not bad! My current house is the first house that I owned and is the house I dreamed of owning for a long time. So I spend alot of time buying furniture and decorating the house, my whole house is of the colours red, white and silver furnitures because I like those colours very much. The decoration is simple and comfortable, when I go home I feel so comfortable I don't want to go out again"
Charmaine does not want to move to her new house, well what will happen to her new house?. She says " Putting money into this apartment is for eraning money, I think buying apartments is the most appropriate and stable way for earning money. I don't really know other ways and if I buy shares I won't have time to see how they're going, I'm already busy with acting so I won't have time to watch them. So buying apartments is the most stable way for me". After some people work really hard, they go shopping whenever they have spare time and buy lots of things. But after all, the money is gone and you've worked for nothing.
"For a long time, I've been filming ancient serials more so I don't spend too much on modern clothing. Unlike modern serials, I need to spend time buying clothes. I've been filming ancient serials lately and most of them are in the mainland so the home fees have decreased. So filming for ancient serials has it's good points. In one year, there are a few months that I have to go overseas, so the house needs, electrical, water, and gas fees have decreased, I have even tried recieving a water/electrical bill without a single cent on it! Plus my mobile phone/ cell phone's bill is cheap so I think I spend the most money on my cars"
Highest record:5 days without sleeping- Everyone might think that having two buildings of apartment may be very rich and nice, Charmaine says that in one year there isn't much time staying in Hong Kong, one serial after another serial, not much time for holidays, orignially she wanted to take a rest but she came across a good script for a new series so she sacraficed her holidays, so we know how hard she earns her money, even if you take a bite of her money, they will be blood and sweat. Charmaine says that the highest record od days without sleeping is 5, and thinking of the previous days situation she laughs and says "Everytime there was a break, I'd have a little sleep, but I've tried having one of the crew members waking me up. I fell asleep in such a short time, even the script I was holding in my hands was on the floor and I didn't even know!so you can see how tired I was" Once everyone comes to a tired situation, they will start to have a bad temper. But does Charmaine have this situation? "In my brain, I keep saying 'if I didn't film this, it would be great!' but after it ended, I had to concentrate on her work, after I finished filming I would say 'I've done it again!'. Earlier in the 'War and Beauty' Function Charmaine recieved an award for her brave action for keeping awake. Even though she was in BeiJing filming and couldn't come back to receive the award, once she went home she would see her friends and relatives holding her award, she would be very thankful. "I think this award really suits me, it's the award for the hard work i have done in the previous years"
Making friends with backstage and onstage- In 'War and Beauty' the four female leads are fighting over position but backstage of 'War and Beauty' there are rumours of the four female leads quarelling. Towards this rumour, Charmaine says " These are rumours, in the serial, everyone is really fighting over position but in reality, we don't have time. there is no need to fight, everyone finishes of their section in filming and rushes to get dressed, in spare time we have a chat with the director about our scripts, everyone puts a lot of effort into filming, hoping to make it a good serial, and when we finish work, everyone's tired, in that time we don't have the mood to fight over anyhting. The relationships between the cast are not as scary as what the reporters write" Charmaine says that she has made some friends backstage and onstage. For example working with Gigi Lai and Bowie Lam, everyone will work hard and happily, until the whole serial has finished we sometimes meet each other. Plus the media loves saying that a male and female have relationship rumours or female and female fighting rumours, they won't say there are good friends or fair, they just use the fighting rumours as their targets. Everyone focuses on the arguements and relationships between the cast and not on the artist's character in the serial, Charmaine says that she doesn't have much 'evil' characters and describes the filming as very fun. "After I read the script and knew that I was to act an evil character, I didn't really mind because 'Yi Hung' has a very strong character, of battling. I haven't tried acxting this character before, so I think it's fun, has a fresh feel. [Will you worry about whether the audience will like your evil charatcer?] "I'm not scared, they will understand that it's only acting, I hope everybody will see a different Charmaine Sheh, so trying 'Yi Hung' is worth it!" Other than the audience's opnion, if Charmaine was nominate for the anniversay awards it would be a high encouragement. Towards the anniversary, she says that all will be fate. "I reckon that the skill and talent is the most important thing, when I was filming, I was happy and I was putting a lot of effort, and if there was a chance that I could win the award, of course I'd accept it!"
Lol..having trouble translating the subtitle for this, but here's the text- Earlier, Charmaine revealed that there was a male who worked outside the industry asked her out, when we asked her how they were going, she says "He;s gone! I'm not in Hong Kong, we don't have many chances to see each other or understand each ohter, and we don't have time to date! If I don't have time, how can I expand our relationship? we'll still be friends! I haven't dated anyone for a long time, I want to find someone that will be with me" Still hoping to be asked out, why can't she pick a person from the people she already knows? She shakes her head saying " If they can be my boyfriend, then I wouldn't be friends with them!"

Pic: jade.tvb.com/weekly/379/cover4.htmlCharmaine Sheh- From BeiJing to Hong Kong for a function Charmaine is recently busy filming ancient serial "Tossing Rain Turning Cloud". For the commerical "A-fortane" she suddenly returned to Hong Kong for the new "A-fortane" shop opening ceremony as she was a special guest there. Even though it was only two days, she didn't say any negative words, so lets see what she has been doing. 1)After she arrived in Hong Kong, she had a small break and went to the TVB photo shoot, even though there was a lot of work to be done, she wasn't tired and very co-operative. 2)After 4 hours at the photo shoot, she went to lunch with her friends. Before that, she bought a 'Hairy toy keyring' at the airport and kept complimenting it 'cute'. 3)The next morning, Charmaine arrived at the hairdressers to get a mak-over for the opening ceremony. She met the commercial's director to discuss the up-coming commerical she was going to film. 4) Nearly going to the opening ceremony! Charmaine has her hair and make-up done quickly. 5)Charmaine says that this opening ceremony is very importnat so she bought this set of clothing also because of the fashion botiques products have gig discounts so they can clear they products for autumn/winter products. Charmaine spent some time looking for the right outfit and finally chose this set. 6)The commerical company really admires Charmaine, so they invited her back from BeiJing to Hong Kong to be a special guest in the opening ceremony for the new store of "A-Fortane" 7)Other than cutting the ribbon, as the model for "A-fortant" she signed the commerical poster for the new "A-fortane" store. 8)Charmaine always liked Hello Kitty, she saw that the shop had a Hello Kitty bed cover so she went over and took a picture. After her appearance at the opening ceremony, she returned to Bei Jing to continue filming. *All Credits: Silvermoon

Translated by Wendy, Super Moderator @chanhoman.com
A coincidental mistake actually further strengthened the relationship between Benny and his girlfriend Charmaine...now in Beijing shooting serial "Yan Hua San Yue"...the plan was initially for Charmaine to star as Benny's beloved in the serial...who knows Charmaine took up TVB's serial..."Tian Cuo Yin Yuan"...but it turned out that both serials were to be shot at the same studio...and that made Benny delighted...so much so that he would rush over to the neighbouring filming team after his filmings and go for steamboat dinner with Charmaine...
Eversince filming "Qian Long"...the vain Benny actually told his manager... Lin Zhi Yuan..."I don't want to film anymore serials that require me to shave my head...and this is going to be last time!..."...but eventually... after seeing the scripts for "Yan Hua San Yue"...he still couldn't resist to take up the offer...and laughingly exclaimed..."My hair really grows very slowly!..."...in order to let his hair grow faster...not only does Benny wipe his head with raw ginger everyday...his manager actually got him a raw ginger shampoo...in the hope of growing back his hair for his album recordings and MV shootings this October...
In "Yan Hua San Yue"...Benny had lots of scenes with Gao Yuan Yuan...and behind the screens...he was on exceptionally good terms with the filming team for 'Tian Cup Yin Yuan'...and often go for meals with them...and chats with them...besides his girlfriend Charmaine...he remarked that 'Tian' filming crew had a lot of artistes from his batch in TVB...and the most curious thing to all would be the question on whether the two of them are living together?...Benny's manager...Lin Zhi Yuan exclaimed..."They each have their own rooms...as for whether they love together in private... I would not know..."...

Credits TVBSPACE tvbspacenews.blogspot.com/ The rumors of Maggie Cheung and Charmaine Sheh not getting along continue to be a hot topic as "War and Beauty" comes close to its grand finale. As the latest report reveals, Charmaine was mad at Maggie because she went overboard and tried to direct some of Charmaine's scenes while shooting. Maggie finally responds, as she feels she's been exploited time and time again. "I find that the harder you work and the better results you get, the more rumors you have. It won't affect me, though. I'll continue to work hard, and I'm ready for more rumors. But I have to say that people better stop using me to promote themselves!" Model Samantha Chow also supports her friend Maggie. She hints that somebody is trying to stir things up. "I've been following entertainment news. I remember Charmaine Sheh and Shirley Yeung were said to have friction. And now, Charmaine and Maggie. Is it a coincidence (that somebody is always said to have problems with others)?" Samantha explains that even if Maggie did try to direct some of the scenes, she was qualified to do so, because she's a veteran and has had much experience. "Sheren Tang, Gigi Lai and Maggie all did very well. Charmaine was okay." Samantha adds. As for the other "headline piece", Samantha confirms Maggie and Alice (Tang) are just friends.

Credits TVBSPACE tvbspacenews.blogspot.com/ Having been away filming in Beijing for a few months, Charmaine Sheh was back in Hong Kong yesterday as a judge for a model competition. As for the gossip that has surrounded the lead stars of "War and Beauty" since the show began airing, Charmaine, who has been embroiled in rumours of conflicts with Maggie Cheung and even slanging matches during magazine interviews, responded to the press saying: "I feel we really need to take a break. I am happy that everyone is supporting the show, but if we continue to be entangled in all these rumours then it is not a good thing. In reality, all the cast members got on peacefully." Talking of the award for the female lead at the TVB anniversary becoming the target for all the female cast members, Charmaine says that until the company reveals that nominations then she does not know whether she will be up for the award and so it is too early to discuss this just now and each of the female cast members do stand an equal chance. As for the suggestion that Maggie has offered to 'let her have the award', Charmaine says: "I have already responded, I think it is a misunderstanding. (Do you not think that she is undermining you?) I have already responded to this in the magazine interview." Maggie has also expressed that she does not wish to comment on these rumours to avoid it being used as promotion. When Charmaine heard this, she laughed coldly and said: "Why do I have to respond to what she says? I will just say the same thing and I hope that the rumours will stop for a while. (She says she does not want to be used for promotion.) Who is she referring to? (Are you not worried that someone is profiting from this?) I don't think so!" As for the arguments between her and Maggie's fans on the internet, Charmaine says she thanks her fans for their support, but arguing is an unhealthy way of expressing oneself. On top of this, the news linking Maggie and Alice Tang, hinting a possible lesbian relationship, Charmaine says: "I think this is just an untrue rumour." When asked if she felt that Maggie was 'touching up' other female cast members whilst filming, Charmaine laughs: "There was no such thing!" Charmaine will be taking part in Saturday's special screening of the grand finale of "War" and when it was mentioned that Gigi Lai had offered to donate a camisole for the auction, Charmaine laughed: "If the public request it, then I don't mind donating a camisole after wearing it, maybe the fragrance will demand a higher price!"

Credits TVBSPACE tvbspacenews.blogspot.com/ [Ta Kung Pao, Oriental Daily & The Sun 01/10/04] "War and Beauty" reaches a climax this week and the finale will be aired on Saturday. As the show has stirred up quite a frenzy, TVB has arranged a special charity presentation that will be attended by the cast members. After the news of their arguments have broken, Charmaine Sheh and Maggie Cheung will met again for the first time at this event and this will surely become the focus for the evening. Charmaine appeared at a cosmetics promotional event yesterday and she says that she will be supporting her own show and has bought tickets for a table to hand out to her own friends. She says that she can also do something for charity at the same time. Charmaine indicates that she wanted to buy a few tables worth, but the ticket sales were so strong that they had all been sold beforehand and she was not even able to reserve another table. She laughs that those she has invited are female friends because women are more assertive and they are all leaving their men at home. When asked about her meeting with Maggie, Charmaine says that she will not feel awkward: "We were only written about in this way, but it is not as exaggerated as that. (Will you not be speaking to each other?) Ai! If we don't speak then you say there is something going on, if we do speak then you say we are pretending to be friendly, so whatever we do, someone will write about it, so we'll just go with the flow." Charmaine has had two series aired this year, but with the rave reviews of "War" and the great audience reactions, there is more concern about whether the four female leads will become the favourite female lead this year. However, no-one knows the nominations as yet, so speculation is still a little early. Charmaine returned from Beijing on mid-autumn festival and when asked why she did not stay that day and spend it with 'good friend' Benny Chan, she says rather coldly: "What does it have to do with him? Spending the festival on th plane was quite unusual, because they handed out mooncakes on the plane and when I left Beijing, some local fans gave me a lantern." ***WARNING: SPOILERS FOR "WAR AND BEAUTY"*** "War" will be airing episode 29 tonight and the story tells of Hung Mo urging On Sin not to be used by Yu Yuet, Suen Ching Wah taking his son to bid leave from the Empress and Fuk Nga finding out that Lau Sik Chun has committed suicide after the torture received during the investigation into Tsiu Man Tin. For Yee Shun's safety, Fuk Nga pleads with Pak Yeung to take Yee Shun away from the palace, while she commits suicide. On the other hand, Yuk Ying's maid tells the Empress of Yuk Ying's secret and the Empress tells the Emperor about all the evildoings of the women, but the Emperor is more troubled by the rebels in his land and reprimands the Empress, whilst Yu Yuet and On Sin adopt each other as sisters.

Brief Translation: Charmaine Sheh : Modern version of Princess Cheung Ping [If Princess Cheung Ping came to the 21st century to live, what occupation would she have? Charmaine answers for sure: "Princess Cheung Ping loves to help people, for sure she's going to become a nurse"] Modern Version of PCP (princess cheung ping) Portraying PCP's character is Charmaine Sheh, having to wear ancient clothing and trying to act scenes from a few hundred years ago. [Do you think your personality is similar to PCP?] Charmaine says: "PCP is a very cheerful person, works very hard, is very stubborn towards romance and adjusts herself for other people. I think I am that kind of person" *Silvermoon

NOTE: I belive some of this article isn't true.. [War and Beauty]Modern version of famous actresses quarelling. Sheren Tsang strongly witnesses Charmaine [ah sheh] and Maggie Cheung do not communicate. In the two pictures above the headline : (pic1) trying to avoid, (pic2) they're invisible to each other. In the series [War and Beauty], the only person who could scare yi shun (charmaine sheh), yuk ying (gigi lai) and aun sin (maggie cheung) is yu fei (sheren tang). Outside of the series it is similar, even if the leads are fighting, they won't fight with sheren, and actually say that she did a great job. When Sheren was asked whether charmaine sheh and maggie cheung were fighting, she answered "I know Maggie is a very staright-forward person, my personality is the same as hers, so I understand how straight-forward people feel, maybe she wanted to focus and concentrate on her character so she keeps away? Normally, charmaine and maggie dont speak to each other, I don't think there's a problem with that." Sheren Tang gives some comments about the 3 leads performance in WAB "Gigi was excellent, portraying a cute and natural character, I think that kind of character is hard, her work is also stablem when she was in BeiJing, evernight she did facials just to look like a 16 year old! Charmaine Sheh's performance in WAB was noticed more than in her previous series, but I have a feeling that she's very smart so nothing is too complicated for her. Maggie Cheung's character was a maid in the kingdom, and aun sin's personality is similar to her's, very strong. I watched a few scens of hers, it was so emotional I cried a few tears" Sheren Tang obeys the producer's rule about not telling spoiler so she answers when they asked her what was the ending like. "I can't be the Queen, i don't think the Queen's position is very easy to win, I can only reveal that my character will have the saddest ending" [Next two paragraphs talks about Sheren's own perfomance. Unnessary to translate.] page 2 picture captions: (aom pic) there were rumours that charmaine and sonija kwok were singling shirley yeung out whilst filming aom. (charm&maggie pic) in the series, maggie's character has much sympathy. series version: aun sin (maggie cheung)always thinks that yi shun (charmaine) is plotting at yuk ying (gigi) so she becomes allies with yuk ying. aun sin and yi shun normally don't quarrel over much and aren't really friends or foes. but when aun sin is promoted to "guai yan" she turns her back on yuk ying and only when aun sin dies she becomes friends with yi shun. modern version: In WAB, the conubines are githing over position, but the 2 leads (charm,maggie)in reality are quarelling over something and the audience can see that there have been rumours about insulting phrases and so on. It was Maggie's luck to win the 'My favourite Female Lead' award last year and there were rumours that she was making faces whil charmaine had a talk with the host onstage. When talking about her feelings after the night, she told charmaine to do better next year. when filming for WAB, there were rumours that she said charmaine didn't have enough talent to act with her yet so the two didn't communicate during BeiJing. In promotions for WAB, they again didn't communicate and wouldn't take pictures togther. Gigi Lai who was in the middle was asked about the matter and it seemed like she stood on Maggie's side, saying that she had a better relationship with maggie, they would go shopping together and eat but gigi hasn't tried shopping with charmaine yet, and is only colleagues with charmaine. Not only magie had problems with charmaine, there were also rumours that she had some problems with jessica hsuan. Back to the female laead award last year, maggie told kenix that she didn't have a representitive job and if she worked harder there will be a chance for her, only to cause kenix and her boyfriend, now husband Frankie Lam angry and saying that maggie has less experience with recieving awards. there were alos rumours about charmaine and sonija kwok singling shirley yeung out and upon hearing that shirley yeung's facial appearance was similar to charmaine's, it was said that charmaine was 100% angry. Four famous people catching up with WAB: Fresh plot, Bowie talented: Aaron kwok: I watched a few epsiodes, I felt that the plot was very fresh, these actors portrayed their characters very well, I like watching bowie lam the best, trying to portray between innocent and guilty is very hard. Gigi's performances have grown mature, everyone was great. Watching it closely, not suitable for children: Roger kwok: I was filming in mainland but when I came back to hong kong , i started watching closely, the plot is very addictive, who acted the best I won't say, because I didn't watch the whole series so I'm not very sure. It has it's attraction but I don't think it's quite suitable for children because you need use your brain to watch WAB. Alone likes sheren, dislikes the Queen: Kelly Chen: It's been a long time since I've liked a series so much, out of all the leads, I like watching yu fei (sheren tang), she did a really good job, aun sin (maggie) had a miserbale life, I hope she gets her revenge back at the end, and i dislike the Queen most, the majority of the things are done behind everyone's backs. maggie and charmaine still have to improve: Nancy Sit: I did watch a little bit, this series is great production, all the leads are pretty, between them, mun lui (sheren) has the most experience, maggie talks too flat, people say gigi was immature, i think she's supposed to act like that, charmaine's performance was average. You can't say who's the evilest because they're doing this to protect themselves. *Silvermoon
