Miriam Yeung gets HK Film Critics' Best Actress Award, very emotional and sobs

Yesterday the 17th HK Film Critics Award Presentation was held . Pop Queen Miriam Yeung was named Film Queen for the first time depended on her role in the film Perfect Wedding and received the award from Johnnie To's hands. She was so emotional of her victory that she teared up. She sobbed out her feelings about the win. Miriam said that she can finally confirm her actress status. Besides hard work from an artist, it is rare that someone would 'give the opportunity'.

Upon receiving her award, Miriam teared up, she was stiffed as she said: "Very scared, why am I so scared? No reason, there is no reason an overage would feel so emotionally happy. As a singer turned actress, it's even more about salesmanship. Every time I perform, it is an opportunity to learn. Before when I was young, I didn't know, I did not understand the film knowledge. Fortunately the other actors and behind-the-scenes were able to tolerate me. In addition to being hardworking, an artist needs someone to give them that opportunity, that is the hardest to come. Thanks to all those who gave me the opportunity for me to improve. The HK Film Critics confirmed my actress status. This is something I wanted to do in the last several years, I will continue to be hard working, give me the opportunity! I am not expensive, I can negotiate!"

Later, Miriam frankly said that she never thought she'll get this much encouragement from the award. She felt that after winning the award, she gained more confidence in taking on different types of films. As far as her price offer, can she really be negotiable? She said: "In private life, there is often negotiations, just have to get through the company first. If the company doesn't object, then it's fine. For a good script and charity, I don't mind doing voluntarily work for no pay." She was so happy she held the award tightly and did not want to let go, and expressed that she will be holding this award all day long.
