Gigi Lai Says Goodbye for a Year, Rejects All TVB Series for 2008
Who was the best looking actress at the 40th TVB Anniversary Awards? Possibly most people would say it was Gigi Lai, who turned up in a revealing golden dress that showed off all her sexy curves. Whether it was on the red carpet or inside the awards venue, Gigi was always the center of media attention. Although Gigi only received the “Mainland Audience’s Fave TVB Actress Award”, she managed to get more attention than “TV Queen” Lee Sze Kei. However, after the awards show finished, Gigi had a surprise announcement to make at the press conference – she will not be accepting any work for 2008.
Center of Attention at the Awards
Last night on the red carpet, Gigi arrived together with Roger Kwok, when she appeared in her low-cute revealing dress she managed to create chaos amongst the phtographers. Gigi’s Versace dress is the one and only on the globe, so it is priceless. At the press conference, Gigi denied that she was trying to get all the attention “I didn’t have time to pick out a dress, this dress was chosen for me by TVB, I haven’t even tried it on before the awards, quite unexpected that it would be this sexy.” Gigi was happy to wear this dress as it was the only one in the world, but she was careful not to reveal too much.
Refused to Film any TVB Series for 2008
This year TVB added two new awards “Mainland Audience’s Fave TVB Actor/Actress Awards” the results were determined by mainland viewer’s votes, the winners turned out to be Gigi and Raymond Lam. Later on during an interview with reporters, Gigi said “I will be taking leave for 2008, I’ve already rejected any offers to film TVB series next year, I just want to concentrate on caring for my brother.”
Gigi’s brother was involved in a terrible car accident during the year, at one point it was feared that he may not live. Gigi said this incident changed her views on life “Two years ago when I was crowned TV Queen I felt so excited, but after my brother’s car accident, awards have no meaning for me anymore. Most important is to have good health and live a happy life.” But to leave at the peak of her career, is she worried that she will be forgotten by the audience? Gigi said, during her 20 years in the entertainment business, she has done everything from movies, TV series, singing, nowdays fame and money are no longer important.
Love Life is Completely Blank
Gigi was moved to tears when she saw Lydia Shum appear onstage in a wheelchair, she told reporters, “To see Lydia like this makes me so emotional, life is too short, there are things in life that are much more important than money and status.”
When reporters asked Gigi about her current love life, Gigi revealed: “My love life is totally blank, but there are still many people who loves me such as my family, friends and fans, I feel contented already.” At the same time she receives love from people, she wants to give her love to others, in the future she will do more charity work to help those in need.
