Charmaine Sheh: A Little Reward

Even though Charmaine Sheh didn’t win the TV Queen award at this year’s Anniversary Awards ceremony, she still maintains her “queen” status when it comes to earning power. Based on calculations for the entire 2009 year – including commercials, live performances, filming TV series – her total earnings exceeded $15 million HKD, putting her at the top of the earnings list among all of TVB’s “siu sangs” and “fa dans”. To reward herself, Charmaine is planning to purchase a new $800,000 HKD car. Laughing, she says: “Since I need to drive a car almost every day, I figured it was worth it to buy a more expensive one.” With all the money that she makes in a year, this “little reward” – it’s nothing! 

Charmaine had 2 series that aired in 2009 – "You’re Hired" and "Beyond the Realm of Conscience" and so her popularity has been “off the charts” all year – notably with <>, as the healthy image of the character she played, Lau Sam Ho, made the commercial sponsors especially delighted and happy. Even with her working everyday on her new series "Heaven and Earth", Charmaine has still found time to attend 7 or 8 shows, earning her another $1 million HKD. As the saying goes, ‘the purpose of working so hard to earn money is to be able to enjoy it’ – with regard to this, she expressed: “This past year, I’m pretty satisfied with the overall results, so I decided to buy a new car because the one I have currently, I’ve used for 5 years already…so loyal! Because I have to work every day, I’ve only had time to look through [car] catalogs so far…at first, there was an Audi that I liked in the catalog, however the cost was more than $2 million HKD – I really didn’t have the heart to buy it! With all the hard work involved in earning money, I felt like it would hurt too much to spend over a million dollars on a car; so now, I’ve set my sights on the new E-Class from Mercedes Benz that costs about $800,000 HKD. However, recently, my work schedule has been so tight that I don’t even have time to go buy cotton balls for makeup – maybe later when I have a little more time, then I’ll pursue it more.”

In addition to being “the queen of shows,” Charmaine also has a good eye when it comes to investing – last year, the real estate that she bought on HK island all yielded good results. When it comes to investing in real estate, Charmaine’s preference is in the HK island area because of its convenience and its potential for appreciation (rise in value)…of course, for the purposes of investing in prime property, she always does her homework thoroughly beforehand. “I would read the newspapers, research the different opinions of realtors and investment agents toward the particular property, and of course, I would go and view the property myself – after all, it’s not good to just listen to others without seeing for myself. Also, I’m a firm believer in [the Chinese saying] ‘without your own effort there is no reward’….that’s why I never buy stocks because no matter how stable they are, I don’t have time to manage them [the stocks]. With this said though, real estate prices have gotten quite high recently, so for now, it’s probably best to hold off…plus, the place where I live right now is not bad; I also believe in geomancy (fengshui), so even if the place I live in now is not that big and there isn’t enough room to put my stuff, for now, I still plan on living there.”

Choose a Boyfriend Who is “On the Same Page” With Her

Career-wise, Charmaine was very successful last year, however in terms of a love relationship there hasn’t seemed to be as much success; her ‘rumored’ relationship with Kevin Cheng was constantly rumored to be on and off, on and off: “After filming the series, we broke up of course! Actually, both of us have pretty ‘opinionated’ and ‘open’ personalities, so it’s more suitable and comfortable for us to be friends [rather than lovers].” (What are your requirements when it comes to choosing a boyfriend?) “Very simple, the most important thing is happiness…whether he has money or good looks, it doesn’t matter. Most important is the ability to communicate comfortably; if we can’t even get along, it’s hard to be together for a long time…I would die having to be together day after day in this type of situation.” (So your mom hasn’t ‘pressured’ you to get married?) “She’s actually very open-minded; in fact, she has even told me not to worry – just look at the example of Liza Wang: she also earns a lot of money and has a very successful career, and in the end, she was able to find her significant other to ‘grow old’ with. She even told me that since I like kids, I can always adopt one in the future – this way, I can help others as well. My mom has always been this way – allowing me to do what I like to do without giving me any pressure whatsoever.” Recently, there have been many examples of female celebrities falling in love with “foreign” (non-Asian) boyfriends; Charmaine immediately expressed: “I don’t know if I will encounter this or not in the future, however when I was studying in Switzerland, I did come into contact with non-Asian males, but never tried having a relationship with them – after all, the feelings aren’t as close [different cultures]; if I have a chance to choose, of course I would choose someone who is ‘on the same page’ with me.” It comes as no surprise then that the list of “rumored” males who have been “linked” to her romantically have been primarily TVB siu sangs…perhaps being from the same company helps to “be on the same page!” 

Charmaine Sheh will renew her contract with TVB if it is reasonable

TVB up coming new series "Heaven and Earth" were filming a wedding scene at an Airport hotel the other night. It was a wedding scene between Moses Chan and Maggie Siu. Guests Charmaine Sheh and Jin Yan Ling as well as Maggie were all wearing jewelries (worth over 10 million HKD) sponsored by the jewelers. Bowie Lam was also there as guest to greet the newly wed couple.

Charmaine was in black, but she looked very tired and she appeared to have a stiff neck. Charmaine explained that she been busy filming "Heaven and Earth" and "Can't buy me love" at the same time. She was over tired that she probably didn't sleep that well. She told reporter "It's been two days now, but I haven't got time to see the doctor yet. I don't even have time to buy lipstick, nevermind about seeing a doctor, which is a luxury." Reporter asked if she needed a massage? Charmaine didn't reply, but went on to say that she usually goes home and have a bath, then she would read the script before heading for bed. Charmaine also revealed that she has two more days to film, that night appeared as wedding guest was really relaxing. 

Charmaine's contract with TVB is not due for renewal yet. Reporter asked her if she thinks TVB has the monopoly, she replied "There must be terms of condition in the contract. I will sign it if it is reasonable." Reporter went on to ask if she feels TVB is under attack by all four enemies? Charmaine replied "You can say that this big tree attracts a gust of wind. I don't know for how long it will be blowing, but I hope the tree can continue to grow.

Charmaine Sheh spends 1.6 million on emerald ring for her mother

Yesterday Charmaine Sheh was arranged to wear an emerald ring worth 1.6 million dollars for a catwalk. She then expressed in a wealthy manner that she plans to buy it for her mother. Charmaine expressed that her new year's wish is to earn more money, so she can invest in property. Asked if shes going to consider moving to Bel-Air and be neighbors with Kate Tsui? She said that she has not thought that far yet, nothing has been decided yet. 

As for the reports saying that TVB film "72 Tenants of Prosperity" is suppressing "All's Well End Well Too 2010" promotions which is releasing around the same time? Charmaine expressed that she does not believe in such reports and that she never heard of TVB wanting to cut down the screen time of other artists in the film. 

There is also another report saying that she and Niki Chow suddenly have things to chat about? Charmaine stressed that she does not know Niki personally, so they don't have any contact with each other. Charmaine personally greets all her colleagues when she sees them, if she sees Niki, she also will greet her.

Charmaine Sheh: A "good idea" to invest in Singapore's properties

Real estate agents here, start taking notes. Charmaine Sheh, one of Hong Kong's most popular TVB actresses and its top earner for 2009 (from dramas and endorsements), is considering putting her money on properties on the island.

The 34-year-old, who was in town last weekend for the inaugural StarHub TVB Awards ceremony, had recently declared wanting to "invest in property" but has yet to "decide on a location."

When reporters suggested Singapore, her face lit up and she enthused in excitement, "That is a pretty good idea!" before she continued rattling on how she's impressed and in love with the country's "cleanliness and the good city-planning."

Dressed in a resplendent white cocktail dress, Charmaine was all smiles when she commented on her position as the top-earning TVB actress of 2009. "Honestly, I was very happy when I read that report. I'm not sure how the others fared last year but I am pretty pleased with it. I hope to earn even more this year but I still think that health is most important."

She revealed that she "hasn't had a good sleep for a few days. I only slept for five hours for the past three to four days!"

After her goody-two shoes turn in the hit-period drama series, Beyond the Realm of Conscience, Charmaine Sheh will reunite with Moses Chan in two upcoming back-to-back drama series, Heaven and Earth and Arrival of Princess. At the press conference of the award ceremony, the two stars appeared to be comfortable in each other's company, cracking jokes at one another.

"We don't phone one another but we do talk about everything else. For example, properties," the pair chirped in unison.

Despite having worked together for three consecutive projects, Charmaine said that they are not tired of working with each other. "That's because Moses He was a fatty [in Beyond the Realm of Conscience]. He is skinnier now, and will portray a madman [in Arrival of Princess]. His character would even fart at me and [co-star] Chen Fala's faces in the show." she said between giggles.

Despite the record-breaking ratings of Beyond the Realm of Conscience, both veteran actors appear unfazed at the impending number crunch awaiting them.

Unperturbed, Moses commented, "As long as we are happy working with each other, that is all that matters - as long as it is fun!"

With Valentine's Day round the corner, we questioned both artistes on their rumoured longtime squeezes and fellow TVB colleagues, Bernice Liu and Kevin Cheng.

While Charmaine was more upfront and candid about her ongoing rumours with Kevin, as she believed the "very helpful and timely" rumours gave a hand in promoting Beyond the Realm of Conscience, Moses, on the other hand, dropped roundabout answers.

The tall actor, deviated from the topic and instead glossed over it by saying how rare it is for Valentine's Day to coincide with the first day of the Lunar New Year and wished for all couples in the world to have a "happy reunion."

He only started to open up when reporters threw him non-romantic topics such as his keen interest in coffee.

"Yes [I hope to open up my own coffee store] and I really do hope to have my own coffee brand. I am thinking about it every single second. I'm serious!" Moses earnestly shared.

Charmaine chimed in response to her co-actor's claim and wisecracked, "Ah Mo coffee?"

Catch both Charmaine and Moses on the telecast of the StarHub TVB Awards on VV Drama (StarHub TV Channel 55) at 7.45pm on 14 February.

Charmaine diligently studies her scenes

Yesterday around 10pm, Charmaine Sheh was in Causeway Bay filming the series "Heaven and Earth". That night, Charmaine was filming a scene where she has to run across the street and chase a bunch of youths carrying mattresses; due to all the cars in the street, she had to re-film the scene numerous times. After she finished filming, Charmaine immediately put her big coat back on for warmth, then diligently sat down with the director and others to study upcoming scenes – so hardworking.

Charmaine Sheh abruptly puts a stop to interview

Yesterday, Charmaine Sheh attended an event to support Stephen Chan’s new book, during which Stephen took the opportunity to “use” her recent rumors with Moses Chan to tease her and lighten the mood. After the event, Charmaine expressed: “It’s not awkward -- the rumors are not within my control, my focus right now is on filming series.” (How about rumors that Bernice Liu is unhappy with your comments dragging her into the situation?) “The situation should be over now…please don’t take these types of false, laughable rumors as the truth.” (Will you be avoiding Moses?) “We’re filming the same series right now, plus it’s a comedy, so it’s necessary to be happy so that the audience will have the same feeling.” (How about being more careful on a personal level outside of work?) “Thank you!” Immediately afterward, Charmaine quickly turned around and left, thereby abruptly ending the interview.

When asked about the ‘jealous rivalry’ between Charmaine and Bernice, Moses Chan replied via phone: “I’m sitting here scratching my head – don’t even know how to respond to this type of false rumors.” (What do you make of Charmaine abruptly ending the interview?) “She doesn’t want the rumors to continue!” (Taking up 2 women under your care?) “Don’t know what you’re talking about; we’re all experienced [been through this type of rumor before] so we understand how it works…no need to worry.”
