I wish she would do her interviews in Cantonese like Tony does. That Cantonese pride from Tony makes me want to watch the movie more than the actual movie itself.

[@gheeseng23]

@@DanteLovesPizza I don't believe it has to do with Cantonese pride, rather it's which language they are comfortable expressing themselves in. Anyway these 2 interviewers likely don't understand Cantonese, it only make sense she spoke English.

[@DanteLovesPizza]

​@@gheeseng23 Yeah, but he's done interviews in English too, so he's comfortable enough with it. It's the fact that in some he has chosen to respond in Cantonese. Now, when you're promoting a movie in English, and you can speak English quite well, you wouldn't necessarily choose to do it in Cantonese given the much smaller audience that understands it. He made this choice despite that. It's not a criticism that she's not doing it, it's just I wish she would do some like Tony.

[@bisaboleh]

Her English is amazing considering that she moved to US to study at the age of 14, and for a Szechuan native to start learning Cantonese after moving to HK, she really has a knack for relearning and remaking herself.

It's great to see Fala making it to the big screen. I was made aware of her 10 years ago when hanging out in an "Escape Room" game in Shanghai with a group of ABCs. I grew up in the UK and never watched those Hong Kong TVB shows so when an ABC guy came up to me and said: "Wow, you look so much like Fala Chen you two can be twins!", my reaction was "huh, Fala Who?!" He said he was out with her and a group of people back in the States but she was very arrogant at the time. I joked: "Well, lucky you, you found the nicer Twin in me!". Thanks to Fala's fame, I get stopped a few times in the streets while in Hong Kong, probably by Fala's fans who wanted my number. Fast forward a few years I can really see her hard work in bettering her acting skills and surely hope she's more down to earth now as arrogance doesn't fit her. I wish her best of luck and continue to make us proud!

[@DanteLovesPizza]

Can't even compare. A lot of people think if you're from Hong Kong and don't stick with TVB forever, you're done. In the past, it was good, but today, it's just a platform for Dog Xi to spread his propaganda. The majority of the actors working under TVB today are so bad I wouldn't cast them more than an extra, but here they are, playing main roles. And funnily enough, these people can't even find success in Hong Kong, let alone internationally. Leaving is the wise choice and Fala has proved it here.
