Benny Chan hopes to become a director and would ask Charmaine Sheh to play lead role





Benny Chan was at a promotional event for "Legend of the Demigods" yesterday. he revealed that once again he has the opportunity to portray Monkey King. "Currently I am discussing plans in filming new Mainland series "Mei Houwang". I have a lot of fate with Monkey King. To replay the role is something I have wanted to do in the past. I didn't think my performance in (Journey to the West II" was good enough. I hope I can do a better job this time." Benny stated that an actors career is limited and he hopes to plan to become a director. As for whether he would ask Charmaine Sheh to be the mainlead, he laughed "If she can help then that would be great." The reporter asked Benny if he was still waiting for her. "Actually, when I was doing that interview I was not referring to her. I don't understand why everyone thinks it was her I was talking about."



Linda Chung was criticised by the netizens for her role in "Moonlight Resonance". They had expressed about how boring her storyline was especially regarding relationship. Also they felt her performance in "Legend of the Demigods" was very bad. She responded by saying she didn't mind. "Netizen's comments are not final and not accurate. The response from what I get in the street is more real. I heard many compliments."


TRANSLATION CORRECTED:

PLEASE NOTE: I translated the Linda Chung part inaccuratley. Linda wasn't criticised for her performance rather people thought her love storyline in "Moonlight Resonance" was boring. As for the series "Legend of the Demigods" they thought it was unwatchable. Also she didn't say people in the street complimented but that she heard people said it was not a bad series from word of mouth.

Hope I haven't misled people about Linda's response. Cheers
