Yesterday Shirley attended the open function of "The Link Hakka Festival" and reveals that for the Mid-Autumn Festival (Moon Festival), she will be filming for "The Comeback Family". Believing that she won't be able to spend it with her boyfriend, it was asked if Shirley was going to give his family gifts; however, she avoided answering and only said she will go to her friends and family to give gifts.

After "Laughing Gor Turning Point", the Shaw Brothers will be starting a New Years film "The 72 Tenants". Besides inviting foreign popular movie stars to participate in this new film, TVB artistes of course "took care" of their own "kids" (artistes) that are under TVB management. Several TVB artistes will also take part in this new film.
The producer for "The 72 Tenants" Virgina Lok revealed that TVB has arranged "Chai Gau" who recently became very popular, "Long Leg Crab" Koni Lui, Myolie Wu, Bosco Wong, Shirley Yeung and Kenneth Ma to make an appearance. As for their roles, Virgina strongly stressed that it's not going to be minor roles. She said: "How much salary they will get will depend on how much screen time they have, but money is not the point. If they have less screen time, then we'll still give them a big red envelope. (How is the screen time divided?) Everyone will have scenes, there's room for development, it's not minor roles because we want to give them an opportunity, let them do a new attempt for their roles on their own."

When Miss Hong Kong winner Shirley Yeung is doing an exclusive interview with Wangyi, she reveals that her favourite American drama is "Sex and the City", but also enjoys "Friends". She believes that those series are worth watching: "the atmosphere with America dramas are very natural, which are probably aided through the use different camera angles. As for Hong Kong dramas, their way of emphasising issues are more dramatic. The facial expressions of Hong Kong actors need to be more exaggerated, for example, you must express your pain of headaches greatly, but this is all too obvious. I hope that Hong Kong dramas will learn from American dramas."
Shirley says that in "Sex and the City", American women/girls are very different to women/girls in Hong Kong, and as for "Friends" which is very funny, is very worthwhile to watch.
As for American dramas that are only aired once a week, makes Shirley admire the American actors very much "because they are able to research their role in great detail. For example, if the role needs to ride horses, there is actually time allowed for actors to learn; but its very different in Hong Kong - sometimes you will only know what your role is the week before."
