News - June 2004

After her earlier Shake Shake Fries ad for MacDonald's, Kelly will again promote the fast food outlet's Sweet Summer campaign. This time, Kelly works with Wong Lee Hom in the ad as well as a song.

They were required to be a couple in the ad and besides holding hands in front of the camera, both of them had playfully used the iced cups to touch each other's face. Kelly had knew Lee Hom for about 8 years when they used to be in the same record company in Taiwan. This rare chance for them to be together had them recalling past events including an occasion when they had to rehearse for a dance past 2am.

There will be two versions of the ad and one of them describes Kelly waiting in the car for Lee Hom to exchange her final Hello Kitty to complete her collection.

是次廣告拍攝了兩段廣告片，其中一個是介紹於 7 月換領的 16 種不同顏色 Hello Kitty 。故事講述 Kelly 在車內耐心等候着王力宏送來最後一款她尚欠的 Hello Kitty ，兩人馬上會心微笑。

Kelly To Be Spokesperson For Dior

Following Korean star Park Jin Yong's collaboration with Christian Dior to promote its facial products, Kelly was also invited to be the spokesperson and the first HK celebrity to be given such a task. Tonight, Kelly will set off for France to film the promotional video for the product.

Ties between Kelly and Christian Dior have been well when the label had earlier sponsored her in her wear during the Cannes Film Festival.

Although there were already rumours that Kelly would become the new spokesperson for Christian Dior, but the representative from Dior did not want to admit to them.

Kelly's trip to France will be to for picture taking as well as ad shooting. Dior has engaged the local stylist to do Kelly's makeup, hairdo and image. The job is expected to be completed in 5 days. The reporters had phoned both Kelly's manager and Dior for more details. However, both parties declined to provide any due to confidential reasons.

陳慧琳成首位 Dior 港代言人

繼韓國天后朴志胤獲國際品牌 Christian Dior 賞識，力邀她出任該品牌旗下的潔膚產品代言人後，陳慧琳（ Kelly ）亦獲邀任 Dior 護膚產品代言人，成為首位為 Dior 代言的香港藝人。而 Kelly 今晚將出發到法國拍攝有關宣傳片。

陳慧琳與國際著名品牌 Christian Dior 關係一向友好，上月她與電影《大事件》導演杜琪出席法國康城影展，獲 Dior 贊助一襲全世界獨一無二、度身訂做的銀色美人魚晚裝。及後 Kelly 在香港出席《大》片首映，全身打扮亦是由 Dior 贊助，足見雙方關係非常密切。

法國拍攝

月前有消息指 Kelly 將出任 Dior 服裝代言人，惟品牌方面予以否認。不過，據可靠消息指出， Kelly 原來是擔任該品牌旗下全新系列護膚產品的香港區和內地市場代言人，今晚 Kelly 就會出發到法國，拍攝該產品的廣告，成為首位獲邀接拍 Dior 廣告的香港女藝人。

專人裝身

消息指出， Kelly 今次將在法國拍攝電視和平面廣告， Dior 方面為隆重其事，特地在法國當地找專人為 Kelly 化妝、整理髮型和設計形象，預期五個工作天完成所有拍攝。記者昨日分別致電 Kelly 經理人公司和 Dior 方面了解，但雙方面均以現階段不方便公布為由，拒絕透露詳情。

MacDonalds Summer Campaign Ad

Kelly had again collaborated with MacDonalds for its new summer campaign ad "Sweet Summer" to promote its crystal Hello Kitty. This time, Kelly is paired up with Wong Lee Hom and they will sing the song for the ad together. They will also be filming 2 versions of the ad.

On her payment for this contract, Kelly said that she was satisfied with the amount and that she had less to do this time compared to her previous Shake Shake Fries ad in which she need to even practise a dance for it. In one of the new ads, Kelly was still missing a Hello Kitty to complete her collection and Lee Hom went around searching for it to please her. Kelly later laughed that in reality, her boyfriend was just as sweet as Lee Hom in the ad in that he continuously ate MacDonalds set meals to help her to exchange 4 cartoon mugs.

On Roy Chow and deep Ng's arrest for dealing with drugs, Kelly had believed that it was most likely done out of curiosity. It was most important that they will change for the good from their mistakes. As to some people feel that drugs aids to relieve stress, Kelly criticised that it is a wrong conception and if she encounters stress from work, she will talk with her manager.

In a recent tip off, a list of celebrities who are engaged in drugs was handed to the authorities. In the list is a sister and brother pair who loves to hang out in night spots. When asked if she will be worried that she and her brother will be suspected, Kelly answered that she has no fears because they are very healthy and do not indulge in drugs. As such, it was impossible that they are the ones in the list.

兩姐弟健康正常愛惜身體/Kelly不擔心會被懷疑

陳慧琳再度與麥當勞合作，稍後更與王力宏合唱廣告主題曲，合作拍攝兩輯不同的廣告。是次廣告的主題，是「夏日甜蜜蜜 Sweet　Sweet 」，並推出十六款不同的 Hello　Kitty 水晶作換領。

Kelly 很滿意今次酬勞，上次拍 Shake　Shake 薯條廣告時，要配以舞步，相對下今次就輕鬆得多，主要以甜蜜作主題。第二個廣告是她還欠一款才集齊 Hello　Kitty 水晶，王力宏為討其歡心，四出找尋。 Kelly 笑謂現實生活中，其男友亦如王力宏那樣，為了換取四款得意水杯，不停吃麥當勞套餐，令她感覺很甜蜜及開心。

周永恆和吳浩康涉嫌藏毒案震動娛樂圈， Kelly 相信可能是他們這些後生仔，一時好奇下，才會犯這樣的錯誤，最重要是知錯能改。對於有人認為服藥物可幫助減壓， Kelly 直斥這想法是錯誤的，而她若在工作上有壓力，大多會找經理人鍾珍傾訴藉以減壓。

最近更有報道警方已鎖定圈中涉吸毒的藝人名單，當中包括一對愛蒲的姐弟， Kelly 和弟弟陳司翰都是圈中人，問她可會擔心受懷疑？ Kelly 坦言一點也不擔心，因為他們兩姐弟都很健康，亦很愛惜身體，絕不沾染毒品，這對姐弟一定不會是他們，家長可以放心。

Killing Order

Sammi Cheng had earlier mentioned that she was interested to appear in the image of Uma Thurman's killer look in "Kill Bill" for her upcoming concert. However, Kelly was faster than her to do so when she appeared in the image on Friday night for her new song music video filming.

The new song "Phone Killing Order" describes that Kelly did not want her boyfriend to have a change of heart and only allowed him to have her number in his phone. Dressed in tight fitting top and pants with flowing coat, Kelly carried a Samurai blade fighting 4 hunks also with blades in the streets of Central.

As there were several fighting scenes in the music video, Chang Siu Tung was engaged to be the stunt choreographer. A female extra was also around to help take over scenes from Kelly that needed more actions. Computer graphics will then be added to the video. From word of Kelly's manager, the video will take 3 days to film and the production cost is over a million.

The filming on Friday night was completed in 7 hours but as the weather was extremely hot, Kelly was full of sweat after dashing around. The filming had to be stopped several occasions for her to patch up on her make-up.

扮奧瑪花曼搶 Sammi 頭啖湯 Kelly 接 Phone 殺令以一敵四

日前鄭秀文（ Sammi ）曾表示有意在個唱中以奧瑪花曼在《標殺令》中的殺手造型示人，但陳慧琳（ Kelly ）前晚卻搶飲頭啖湯，以女殺手造型於中環拍攝新歌《 Phone 殺令》 MV ，冷傲的 Kelly 更手執東洋刀惡戰四大漢。

奧瑪花曼（ Uma Thurman ）在電影《標殺令》中穿上黃色運動衣，手執東洋刀復仇的鏡頭令人留下深刻印象，日前鄭秀文才聲稱有意在下月演唱會中，將奧瑪花曼這幕殺人場面搬上舞台，想不到陳慧琳卻快人一步，前晚拍攝新歌《 Phone 殺令》 MV ，已扮成港版奧瑪花曼，以女黑俠 look 在中環拿東洋刀夜戰四名大漢。

程小東任武指

新歌《 Phone 殺令》講述 Kelly 為免男友有異心，故只准男友儲存她一人的電話。前晚 Kelly 穿上緊身衣及貼身長褲，外披一件黑色長褸，拿一把東洋刀，於中環德輔道中
的馬路中央拍 MV ，力敵四名同樣手執東洋刀的大漢，當她在馬路上狂奔時，身材表露無遺。

由於 Kelly 要與大漢比刀法，故唱片公司特請來程小東擔任武指，並安排一名 Kelly 的女替身在場協力，據知 Kelly 在 MV 中要拍不少動作場面，需要吊威，之後再加電腦效果，故其經理人鍾珍表示 MV 拍攝期需時三日，製作費亦過一百萬。

前晚 Kelly 在中環揮刀激戰近七個小時，但因天氣翳熱，加上其長褸密不透風，所以她拍得大汗細汗，每次停機時都要化妝師抹汗補粉，而在場亦常有路經市民停下拍照，幸天氣配合，到凌晨近二時收工之際才下雨。

Sudden Kiss From Fan

Kelly was earlier at Qing Yuan for a major event organised by the local TV station. Upon seeing Kelly's appearance, the fans stood up together and danced and sang along with her.

For Kelly's safety, the organisers had engaged 500 policemen. When Kelly came on stage, the crowd immediately cheered. During the show, there were several fans who went up stage to give flowers and one of the female fans had even hugged Kelly around her waist and clang on to her shoulder to sing with her. The fan later gave Kelly a sudden kiss on her cheek which gave her a shock.

Kelly later said that she did not expect the crowd to be so friendly but she had not mind because it was a female fan. She added that her male fans usually do not go too far and would only request for a handshake and photograph taken together. If there are exceptional requests, her manager and assistant will stop them.

The audience had requested for Kelly to sing "Dowry" but as the song was not in her list for the performance.

Kelly 遭女 Fans 偷吻心肝跳

陳慧琳（ Kelly ）早前到清遠出席當地電視台的大型晚會，歌迷見到偶像出現十分興奮，並齊齊站立起來又唱又跳，氣氛熱鬧。

「女歌迷冇所謂」

大會為保 Kelly 安全，特別安排了約五百名公安護駕，伊人甫出現，台下歌迷即不停歡呼。演唱期間有歌迷上台獻花，其中一位女歌迷攬 Kelly 的腰，並挨她的肩膊一起唱歌，然後還偷吻了 Kelly 的臉頰，把 Kelly 嚇了一跳，全場立即起哄。

Kelly 說：「真係冇諗到佢咁熱情，係女歌迷就冇所謂，但我男歌迷都好自律，通常只會要求握手同影相，若有其他要求話，經理人會立即叫工作人員阻止，所以都唔使太擔心。」

現場歌迷大部份要求 Kelly 獻唱《嫁妝》，可惜當晚她沒有準備，未能演繹該曲，算是美中不足。

Kelly's Boring Life

Grown up from a wealthy family and being well-educated, Kelly had shot to fame quickly upon entering showbiz. Other than her boyfriend, she was rarely put to be related with other male celebrities. Not liking to socialise, she only enjoys staying at home to play online games.

Kelly health has not been good recently mainly because she was too busy with her work and there was not enough time for rest. To this, she looked helpless and mentioned that she has several shows in China weekly. Besides, she would also need to take care of the HK market. Her sickness has also caused her recording for her new album to be delayed. Many people had asked why would she still need to work so hard with her current status. This was probably due to a sense of satisfaction from work. Her company has to support many people and she would need to give her contribution.

Her new movie "Breaking News" was selected to be screened in this year's Cannes Film Festival in which she plays a female police inspector. Kelly mentioned that before she had filmed "Infernal Affairs III", she did not have much knowledge in acting and does not know how to portray a character. Her lessons with the Hollywood acting teacher slowly taught her skills on observation. Johnny To had later also given her tips to do the role well.

Many people would think that Kelly's singing career had came to a slow down last year. She was always in China for shows weekly and she was also making preparations to venture into another career. This job would be to help in her family jewelry business, putting her knowledge in design from her schooldays to use.

Kelly has been together with her boyfriend, Alex, for more than 10 years. The times they met got lesser after she entered showbiz. It was also this reason that they quarreled and split for several months. Both had learnt to treasure this relationship much more now. Kelly said that she had managed to counter this unhappy period before they were finally reconciled.

Now, they would try their best to allocate times for meeting and they are much more understanding of each other. However, Kelly's work schedule is very busy and is seldom around in HK. This is rather unfair to her boyfriend but he understands her circumstances.

Their relationship is stable and Kelly has already set Alex to be the only guy that she would marry. Speaking of her marriage, she said that it will most likely be several years later as both of them are still busy in their work. This plan will not change unless they want to have a baby.

Other than her boyfriend, Kelly has few friends in the entertainment circle, particularly male ones. Rumours of her with other male celebrities are rare as she does not give chances to them. Kelly laughed that most of her time is at home and would not socialise with other people outside. Going to nightspots are even more rare. As such, her boyfriend trusts her fully. Being the only guy in Kelly's heart, she would of course not allow other males to have a chance to chase her. She felt that her calm-minded personality has helped to remind her what she ought to do and what she should not.

To most people, Kelly's lifestyle is both lonely and boring. When she is free, she stays at home listening to music, reading or playing online games. She recently is engrossed in the game "Hunter" and her record is playing that consecutively for 18 hours. She excited said that one will get addicted playing online games. She had played the game for 18 hours and did not want to stop. When she got hungry or thirsty, she would grab something quickly to eat and resume the game. Even when her eyes got red due to the strain, she had still continued. Knowing the addiction of these games, she had played less of them.

Currently Kelly is living alone and will only meet her family members during festive occasions. However, she still maintains a strong relationship with her separated parents as well as her brother. She said that although the times they meet are not many, they would often keep in contact through the phone. For example, when her father knew that she was sick, he immediately called her and asked if she had taken bird's nest and that he would get medicine for her. Recently her father has a liking for health products and had given some to Kelly as well. One of them is a milk powder that can build up the body's immunity. Kelly felt that it tasted horrible.

冇緋聞冇是非自認理智悶蛋陳慧琳

出身富裕兼接受過良好教育的陳慧琳（ Kelly ），在娛樂圈迅速竄紅，可謂集萬千寵愛在一身。形象健康的 Kelly 除了拍拖逾十年的男友 Alex 外，從未與其他男士傳緋聞，平時絕少應酬的她只喜歡在家中看書和上網打機，十分悶蛋。

事業篇：進軍影壇一雲

最近陳慧琳身體虛弱了不少，主要是因工作太忙，沒時間休息，對此她無奈地說：「冇辦法，除成日要返內地做，又要顧住香港市場，好似張唱片下個月要出，我家都重未錄好，今日我唔係咁舒服，一樣要出做訪問。好多人話我今時今日都無慾無求，做乜要捱得咁辛苦？可能係一份工作上滿足感啦！公司又養咁多人，我都要睇住佢。」

向杜琪偷師

最近 Kelly 主演了杜琪執導的電影《大事件》，早前應邀到康城影展觀摩，戲中 Kelly 飾演一位個性剛強的女警，她說：「拍《無間道 III 》前我對做戲冇乜概念，唔知點去演繹一個角色，都幾一雲，後來美國請個先生教我，自己先開始慢慢有概念，明白要多觀察同做調查。拍阿杜《大事件》，因為佢係一個好識教演員做戲導演，我至慢慢掌握到做戲竅門。」

大眾均認為 Kelly 去年開始在樂壇似乎沉寂下來，原來她幾乎每星期均返內地銀。 Kelly 發展內地市場除為演藝事業外，其實她準備發展另一新事業，她說：「我以前美國係讀設計，而我爹係開珠寶店，我好想幫屋企做。」

愛情篇：失而復得更珍惜

陳慧琳與男友 Alex 拍拖十多年，隨著她在歌影兩方面的發展，二人聚少離多，更曾因而鬧至分手數月。對於失而復得的感情， Kelly 和 Alex 當然會更加珍惜對方， Kelly 說：「以前我 o地成日會為 o左冇時間見面嗌交，結果搞到分埋手，分手 o個段時間都幾傷心 o架，好彩我最終克服呢段時期，大家又可以走番埋一齊。」

決定非君不嫁

Kelly 續說：「 o依家大家一有時間會盡量爭取見面，而且會互相體諒對方，所以同佢都少 o左爭執，不過我 o既工作始終太忙，又成日唔 o係香港，我都知對佢唔係咁公平，不過佢 o依家好體諒我，我呢個男友真係好好！」

Kelly 與 Alex 的感情已很穩定，她亦鎖定會嫁給 Alex ，不過談到婚期， Kelly 卻表示：「同佢已經有默契，但婚事會係幾年後 o的事，我同佢都重係搏殺緊，所以唔會咁快結婚，除非要生 BB 啦，咁就會考慮。」

只愛留在家中

除了 Alex 之外， Kelly 在娛樂圈可說是絕緣體，從來沒有與男藝人傳過緋聞，形象健康得如不食人間煙火，更從不肯給其他男士機會， Kelly 笑說：「工作之外，我多數時間就 o係屋企，從來都唔會同圈中人應酬，夜晚就更少去蒲，所以我男友對我係一百個放心，既然我心中只有佢一個，我係唔會畀機會其他人追求我，可能我係一個比較理智型 o既女性，知道邊 o的應該做，乜 o野唔應該做。」

對不少人來說， Kelly 的生活模式是獨立得來有點自閉和悶蛋，閒來她愛留在家中聽音樂、看書和上網打機，但她卻自得其樂，最近她沉迷一種電玩遊戲 Hunter ，最高紀錄曾連打十八個小時。她興奮地說：「打電腦 game 真係會上癮，我試過打十八個鐘都唔想停，打到口渴同肚餓就快快趣食 o野，然後就繼續打，有時玩到眼都紅晒都唔肯停，不過我知道打電腦 game 會上癮，所以呢排都唔敢玩咁多。」

父親噓寒問暖

獨居的 Kelly 雖然每逢大時大節才會與家人見面，但她與已離異的父母及姊姊和弟弟陳司翰的感情很好，她說：「同屋企人見面雖然少，但我 o地會不時通電話，好似今日爹知我病，就好緊張咁打電話畀我，問我有冇食燕窩，又搵人羅藥畀我。呢排爹鍾意食健康食品，當然佢都畀唔少我食，有一隻奶粉又話可以增強免疫力，佢係都要我食，老實講真係好難食。」

Stuck In Underpass For 10 Hours

Kelly was recently at the underpass in Central to film the music video for her song "Sorry, It's Not You". This had attracted a large bunch of passers by and had greatly affected the course of work. The filming crew were stuck in the underpass for 10 hours before the filming was finally completed.

Upon Kelly's arrival, there were many frequent passers by and when they saw her, were excited and stopped to request for autographs. Many had even took out their cameras and take pictures immediately causing flashlights to blink every now and then. All these commotion delayed the work progress and the filming had to drag till 11 pm. Despite this, Kelly was still very courteous and smiled at the people who were around.

For this music video, Kelly had invited Wan Tze Wai as the male lead. Both of them had worked together several times but the last time they met was in the movie Lavender that was filmed 3 years ago. On the day, both of them had many things to talk about.

Kelly尹子維隧道內搞足十粒鐘

陳慧琳（ Kelly ）魅力非凡，日前在中環皇后像廣場行人隧道拍攝新歌《對不起不是你》 MV ，引來大批途人及遊客圍觀，嚴重拖累拍攝進度，令 Kelly 與工作人員困在隧道， MV 拍足十粒鐘才能完工。

重遇滔滔不絕

Kelly 抵達拍攝現場後，不停有途人經過，大家見到 Kelly 都興奮地停下來向 Kelly 索取簽名，不少途人更興奮得二話不說隨即舉起相機拍照，搞到閃光燈閃個不停，而在午飯及放工時間，更因大批市民放工駐足睇熱鬧，場面一片混亂，有些不顧攝影機走上前拍照，有些又衝到攝影機前睇明星，大大影響拍攝進度，原本一些簡單鏡頭，也要不斷重拍又重拍，拖累整個拍攝工作，拖延到晚上十一時才拍竣， Kelly 與工作人員被困在隧道內足足十個小時，但 Kelly 依然好有禮貌笑笑口跟途人及遊客打招呼。

而今次的 MV ， Kelly 邀請了尹子維做男主角， Kelly 與尹子維亦合作過多次，不過上一次見面已是三年前拍電影《薰衣草》，拍攝當日，兩人一見面即滔滔不絕互談近況。

Action-Packed Kelly

Kelly, Jade Kwan and Isabella Leong had recorded the TVB Jade Solid Gold programme on Sunday evening. During then, Kelly had revealed that she will be filming a music video for her new song. The video's theme is about a female assassin and the company had spent a large sum to engage Chang Siu Tung as the video director. He will also be designing the action movements for Kelly. To train herself up before the filming starts, Kelly had been doing stretching exercises. This was not the first time that she will be hung in mid air by wires but her previous experience was a painful one. What was even more frightening is that she had heard people had breaking their bones and veins due to the wires. However, she believed that the director will not make her do actions which are too difficult.

Kelly And Richie Appearance In Handcuffs

Johnny To's Breaking News received good comments at the Cannes Film Festival and the movie finally made its premiere the previous night in HK. The leads, Kelly and Richie Ren were both fully in black. Kelly was in full suit costing $40 000, consisting of a Christian Dior evening gown together with high heels and handbag.

The movie company had arranged for them to arrive in a fake police car together with 8 extras wearing bullet-proof vests and carrying machine guns. This caused a great stir and the interview that was planned had to be conducted in the theatre.

Kelly mentioned that she had invited her father to watch the premiere. However , neither her mother nor boyfriend came. Kelly further explained that she had yet to accompany her boyfriend to watch her own movie. This was because she would be embarrassed in front of him for the intimate scenes in her previous movies. She guessed that he would buy the movie tickets on his own to watch them.

Both Kelly and Richie had said that this was their calmest movie premiere because the movie had already won in its good response.

In the fight against movie piracy, all countries in Asia opened on 10 June and they had even cooperated with the law organisation in China to watch out for any breach in copyrights.

陳慧琳任賢齊鑽石手銬孖住造勢

杜琪峰的《大事件》在康城影展贏盡口碑，前晚於銅鑼灣舉行隆重首映禮，男女主角任賢齊與陳慧琳（ Kelly ）以全黑打扮出現襯到絕， Kelly 一身高貴晚裝更由 Christian Dior 贊助，配高跟鞋及手袋，總價四萬大元。

睇首映唔預男友

電影公司更安排小齊與 Kelly 乘坐假警車，並戴上鑽石手銬，由八名臨時演員穿上避彈衣手持道具機關槍護送到場，引來大批影迷圍觀及尖叫，由於影迷太瘋狂，連本來安排好的訪問亦要轉移到戲院進行。

Kelly 揚言：「今晚我請爸爸捧場，媽咪就冇。（男友呢？）我冇請佢呀，我從來都未試過同男友一齊睇自己拍戲，因為以前拍親戲都同男主角有親熱咀嘴鏡頭，我覺得好尷尬，我諗佢自己會去買飛捧我場！」

24 小時監控盜版

Kelly 與小齊異口同聲表示今次新戲上映是最淡定的一次，皆因《大》片贏盡口碑，小齊更指影迷已包場欣賞。

而《大》片於今日全亞洲同步上映，為了打擊內地的翻版問題，更與有政府支持的全中國律師反盜維權網合作，為該片保駕護航，以廿四小時全天候監控盜版問題。

$100 000 For An Acting Class

Kelly was in a mini skirt for the TVB Jade Solid Gold Selections on Saturday night and was the limelight when she flashed her 42 inch legs. On being praised for her role in Breaking News, Kelly excitedly revealed that she had started acting classes from Frederick Mao and had even dragged her assistant to accompany her for the lessons. She had yet to settle on the final fee for the lessons. Would she still continue if it was really $100 000 for a class? She answered that she would definitely do so as it was worthed the price. Mao will give her a reasonable fee. She jokingly said that she wanted to recommend her assistant for Best Supporting Actress if they took classes together. Would Kelly sacrifice for art? She gave a laugh and said that she always made sacrifices. But for those that require her to bare all in the movie, she said that no one would find her to act in these roles but only roles as professionals.

Meaningless To Get Awards For Songs That Are Not Popular

Kelly and Eddie Cheung were yesterday at a promotion event for their new movie "Breaking News" playing air pistols with the audience. Kelly's shooting skills were not very good as she missed several shots.

On Jacky Cheung expressing that the music award presentations lack a fair system, Kelly replied that she has not read about the report. Did she ever got an award even though she had not attended the show? Her reply was that she had forgot which ones she had not done so. It is more important for the song to be popular. It would be meaningless to get numerous awards for a song that is not a hit.

陳慧琳指歌唔Hit拎十個獎都無用

陳慧琳、張兆輝昨日為電影《大事件》宣傳，與現場觀眾玩射氣槍，陳慧琳有點雞手鴨腳，反觀張兆輝則又準又定。

對張學友指現今樂壇頒獎禮欠準則，陳慧琳坦言未睇該報道，問到有否試過不出席就無獎羅？陳慧琳想了一想答：「唔記得喇！其實歌曲最緊要受歡迎，如果唔 Hit o既話，羅十個獎都無用啦。」

Pressure On Role

"Breaking News" had its movie premiere in Shanghai yesterday and both male and female leads, Richie Ren and Kelly were at the press conference. The event attracted a large batch of reporters. On her role as the cool-looking police inspector, Kelly had admitted that she faced great pressure to be attentive at all times. Under the guidance of the director, Kelly had finally abandoned her usual vase role and improving towards a skilled actress. Kelly had also laughed that her acting skills are more mature now.

Her recent trip to Cannes was exciting. This was the first time she had set foot on the place and had spent only a few days there. However, she had felt the strong film culture and the people's respect to movies. She was touched by this and hoped to have a chance to visit Cannes again.

陳慧琳脫胎換骨搣甩花瓶稱號

由杜琪峰執導的電影《大事件》，剛於法國康城影展完成觀摩項目，不少電影人對該片給予好高評價，更被當地《費加羅報》評為「香港最好類型的電影」，就連北京、武漢及四川等地傳媒亦肯定該片是近期電影的佳作。

感到壓力大

昨日該片於上海某影城舉行首映，兩位主角陳慧琳及任賢齊均有出席，吸引大批內地傳媒到來採訪，場面墟。 Kelly 於片中演冷酷高傲警察，由於導演向來要求高，故令其每天都要打醒十二分精神投入角色，不諱言感到壓力大，幸好於導演協助下，把 Kelly 原本的「花瓶」形象漸變成實力派明星， Kelly 亦笑指發覺自己的演技逐漸走向成熟。

談到是次康城之行， Kelly 即手舞足蹈表現興奮，表示雖然是首次踏足康城，兼且只逗留短短幾天，但已感受到當地的文化氣息非常濃厚，再加上當地人對電影的尊重令其感動不已，故希望日後能再度抽空前往。

失黃金機會

而小齊因忙於北京個唱，故未能與 Kelly 雙雙出席影展，令小齊大嘆可惜，他謂：「白白冇 o左呢個黃金機會有少少失望，不過見到套戲 o係外國咁受歡迎，我都感到好光榮。」

When Kelly Meets Ah Lam

Kelly had earlier requested to sing a song by George Lam and the latter had specially visited her when she was recording the song at the studio in Causeway Bay. Both of them had many things to talk about and recalled the times meeting in the hospital when they visited the same doctor. Kelly was particularly interested in Ah Lam's moustache and had laughed that she also had 'one' when she was young. It was only some facial hair growing near her mouth and it was definitely gone now.

George Lam has many hit songs and Kelly loves his "Beloved" the most. However, as the song selection for Ah Lam's memorial album was not done by Kelly, she was unable to sing it. Ah Lam had later encouraged her and said that she would have the opportunity the next time and added that Kelly would definitely sing it well as no female had tried to sing that song. He had also praised Kelly to be the most hardworking in her generation.

陳慧琳、阿 Lam 惺惺惜鬚

陳慧琳（ Kelly ）早前自薦在林子祥（阿 Lam ）的新碟獻唱一曲， Kelly 錄音時阿 Lam 專誠往探班，兩人惺惺相惜，並大爆在醫院相識經過，而 Kelly 亦對阿 Lam 的一把鬍鬚大感興趣，還笑言自己兒時也是「美人生鬚」。

林子祥將於月中推出全新概念大碟《 Until we meet again 》，他會演繹四首新歌，其餘十二首舊歌由多位歌手重唱，分別有 Kelly 、張學友、李克勤、容祖兒、 Twins 及陳
奕迅等。

日前 Kelly 到銅鑼灣錄音，阿 Lam 專誠往探班，兩人雖未曾合作，但惺惺相惜，認識經過還有段古。原來 Kelly 和阿 Lam 住得很近，不過他們頭三次見面反而是在醫院。 Kelly 說
：「時我去眼科醫院做矯視手術，竟然見到阿 Lam 隻眼貼住紗布，原來我都係睇埋同一個醫生。」而阿 Lam 表示當時因右眼長了粒粒而要做手術。

遺憾沒唱《最愛》

阿 Lam 的金曲百聽不厭，當中 Kelly 就最喜歡《最愛》，但因為選曲方面不是由 Kelly 負責，所以她對於未能演繹此曲覺得十分可惜，阿 Lam 鼓勵她說：「唔緊要，下次再錄，都未試過有女仔唱《最愛》，你唱一定殺死人。」阿 Lam 還大讚 Kelly 在同輩歌手中最勤力的一位。

Kelly 對阿 Lam 的「二撇雞」亦大感興趣，不斷追問他會否影響平日生活，還笑對方拍接吻戲時一把鬍鬚可以替對手撩牙， Kelly 又自爆說：「我細個都有鬚，咁當然冇阿 Lam 咁誇，只係汗毛長少少，家梗係冇晒啦。」

Lucky To Appear In Cannes

"Breaking News" was earlier selected for screening in this year's Cannes Film Festival. As the female lead of the movie, Kelly had made a trip to Cannes and she had felt that this was a precious opportunity. Movies are highly regarded and the actors are treated as important guests.

As the police inspector in the movie, Kelly had expressed that there was high difficulty in this role. Being more masculine, she would also need to often scold and give commands to people. Being a police officer with pride, she need to drop her habit of dragging her voice and her naggy tone.

However, Kelly does not agree that this movie is her representative work but she did made improvements. She had also claimed that she now fears watching her past movies because her acting was too fake. Although this movie was done well and she was praised by the director for being serious in her work, Kelly felt that there was still room for improvement. The director was known to be stringent but Kelly had yet to see him yell during filming. Those with less patience may have a harder time though.

On awards, Kelly truthfully mentioned that she would take things naturally. Going to Cannes was already a big surprise for her. There was a 180 degrees change from her past movies and she hoped that she could possess both idolistic qualities and skills. As to be able to step foot in Cannes earlier than Sammi Cheng, Kelly said that she was only lucky but could not be compared to Sammi because she is a box-office assurance.

Anthony Wong had earlier recommended Frederick Mao to Kelly for acting and she would officially start classes in June. As Mao often engages in stage plays, Kelly laughed that she could develop deep interests in that as well.

Also, Kelly would like to appear in Tsui Hark's "Brigette Lin's Biography" as she has some similarities with the actress. She suggested that could act as the middle aged Brigette while Cecilia Chung as the young version of her.

陳慧琳大呼好彩比鄭秀文更早踏足康城

電影《大事件》早前獲邀到康城展參與觀摩影片環節，身為女主角的陳慧琳亦有赴會，對於這次康城之行，她感到極為珍惜，因為有感電影在當地很受尊重，演員更能得到上賓般的招待，電影完場時，觀眾還會拍掌支持。

在戲中飾演警察的 Kelly 表示角色很有難度，除了要男性化外，還要經常罵人和命令人 ﹔ 她自覺警察甚有威嚴，所以要戒掉說話拖長尾音和八婆仔聲的習慣。

演技有進步空間

她不認同今次是她的代表作，但亦自覺有進步，她又稱不敢重看以前的電影演出，因為感覺演得很假。而今次的戲雖然拍得好，還被導演杜琪峯讚她認真，但她覺得有改善空間。她續稱導演雖然要求高，但還未見過對方在片場罵人，不過承認若耐力少些亦難以應付。

談到獎項， Kelly 坦言只會隨遇而安，能到康城已是一大驚喜，今次的演出是 180 度的改變，她希望自己能偶像與實力兼備。對於比鄭秀文更早踏足康城， Kelly 也大呼幸運，但畢竟對方是賣座保證，自己不能強求。

早前她經黃秋生介紹找了毛俊輝老師學演戲，六月就會正式上堂，由於毛老師是舞台劇出身，她笑言之後可能會引發她對舞台劇的興趣。

望演中年林青霞

另外， Kelly 自覺與林青霞相像，希望能參與《林青霞傳》的演出，又自言自己可做年紀老一點的青霞，而張栢芝就擔任後生版。
