Short interview with Lam Fung..:)

How do you feel after the recent success of your debut album?
Firstly, I am very happy that everyone has shown such support for me. When I first started singing, I was very nervous and I was worried about the reaction from outside. The album that I released earlier sold quite well and I want to take this opportunity to thank those friends who offered their support and my fans who bought the record. A special thanks goes to Vincy Chan because my duet with her "After Tomorrow" has had good reviews. Working with such a talented singer and being accepted in this way gives me great contentment and has helped to build my confidence in singing. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Where do you seek your enjoyment in both acting and singing?
Acting is my original calling and with each character, it is like living the life of a different person all over again. I feel that as an actor, we are very fortunate because we can experience many personalities and lives that an average person would not be exposed to. Take Goon Ga Jai from Moonlight Resonance for example, if I was not an actor, I would never have had the chance to learn how to make Chinese cakes or be part of such a big family. As TVB series can be viewed all over the world, sometimes I will go abroad and meet people in the street who call me by my characters' names. Through this, I feel like I get to meet a lot of people.

I have a great interest in singing and every time I perform on stage, I cherish the opportunity. The enjoyment in singing is very different from acting, because with dramas, you often don't receive the feedback from the audience until a long time after completion, but with singing, the applause is immediate and direct. The satisfaction from this is extremely great.

What kind of music genre would you like to follow with future albums?
This is up to the record company to organise and I will have to see how this ties in with my schedules. I am already preparing for my third album and there should be some Mandarin songs in this, because I hope to use this to break into the Mainland Chinese market. If I have the chance, I hope to do some mini-concerts as a gift to my fans who have constantly shown me support. As for music genres, ballads are my favourites, but as well as slower songs, I also hope to go up-tempo or maybe try a rock song to give something fresh to my fans.

Which of your characters in TV series has been your favourite so far?
As an actor, you never know where your opportunities come from, so I will cherish every character, no matter how much or little screentime he has. Each role is a chance and represents part of me, so it is very hard to put them in any order. However, Goon Ga Jai has definitely brought me a lot of treasures, including the chance to polish my acting skills, the acceptance from the viewers and a group of colleagues who are truly like a family. As a result, I have a special bond with Goon Ga Jai. I am grateful to the producer, Lau Ka Ho - if he had not believed that I was the best selection, then I would not have been offered such a great role.

What has been your most memorable moment filming for a TVB series?
I remember when I was filming for Moonlight Resonance there was a scene with Jo Bau (Jo飽) [played by Ha Yu ]. The scene was where he was still playing a bad father and I had to argue with him on the pier about the family. Jo Bau is really an amazing actor and he totally brought me into the scene. For that scene, I was 120% absorbed and although my eyes and nose were streaming with tears, I didn't care about how I looked or the camera positions because I was totally immersed in the feelings of the character. This really was a touching and emotional father-son scene.

You have spent a lot of time filming in China over the years in series such as The Drive Of Life. How different are the conditions there compared to working in Hong Kong?
The differences in conditions for The Drive Of Life were not that great because TVB and CCTV's production teams had previously made arrangements around their filming style. The actors from both places were all very professional, experienced and committed to their work. During filming, one of us could be speaking Cantonese and the other Mandarin, but we were all speaking Chinese, so there were no communication problems. All the actors in the series were very skilled and there was plenty of chemistry when we worked together, especially later on in filming when everyone had developed a strong sense of co-operation.

How have you dealt with the constant stream of rumours with your female co-stars?
I try to just go about things with some normality. In this business, you can rarely avoid rumours altogether and sometimes this can cause stress. However, rumours are not the truth and after a while, they tend to disappear on their own.

Do you have any plans to break onto the big screen?
If the right role and script comes along, then I will definitely consider it, but nothing has come up yet. I will leave it to the company to organise it for me.

What projects do you have coming up?
I have a lot of work lined up. The company has signed me up to many series and singing opportunities and I am currently working up my third album. I hope that you will continue to support me!
