Charlene Choi nearly rejects "The Lady Improper"
28 Jan – Hong Kong singer-actress Charlene Choi recently admitted that she nearly rejected the offer to play the lead in the new movie, "The Lady Improper" when it first came to her.
As reported on Mingpao, the actress, who sat for an interview to share thoughts about the new movie, admitted that she was initially worried about the provocative nature of the movie, especially since she just completed another daring performance in "Sara".
"I didn't want to do a movie with similar genre in such a short time. In addition, it also required some nude scenes. It's not something that is easy to do [in our culture]," she said.
The director ended up amending the script to tailor to Charlene's limits.
Asked if she told her boyfriend Anthony Shi before accepting the film, Charlene said that he wouldn't have any issues with it as he watches a lot of movies and grew up overseas.
When mentioned that she could get a nomination at the Hong Kong Film Awards for her performance in the movie, Charlene smiled and replied, "I will let fate decide. If you're doing something to attain something, you will have a hard time. You will be able to perform better if you're more relaxed."
