News - October 2003

Although Kelly is known to have a boyfriend for several years, there were constant rumors that there were problems with their relationship. Recently, a magazine revealed that she had broke off with her boyfriend because Kelly had concentrated too much in her career and was unwilling to get married. Furthermore, her boyfriend did not seem to be bothered by their break up.

At the opening for her image consultant's new boutique, Kelly had denied them and had stressed that their relationship is stable and fully trusted her boyfriend. Kelly added that her boyfriend had only went to help out in his friend's marriage but turned out that the report was skewed. Did they really break up? "Of course not. The girl was her only her boyfriend's classmate and the report had made inconveniences to both sides.

Then why not get married earlier? Although it is a good thing, Kelly would not want to get married so early and do it only to clarify the misunderstanding. Does she boss around? No, she will remain to be behind her man and to be taken cared.

There was also another report that Kelly will be performing Yeung Lee Wai event. Kelly mentioned that it was true that she was invited but she had turned down because she had other work in China. Kelly made a suggestion that Yeung Lee Wai should visit the wax museum and laughed that she could take pictures with her wax figure.

Competing With Sammi Cheng

Time flies as Kelly had the chance to be the spokesperson for 5 consecutive years for Citizen watch. In the latest series of the ad, Kelly was in a seductive pose exposing her legs to compete with Sammi Cheng, who had became the new spokesperson for Sovil Tittus.

Working with the watch company for 5 years, the ads all received good response and Kelly's reward has been increasing and is currently over HK$3 million. At the same time, being proclaimed the Commercial Queen, Kelly had also set the record to be the HK celebrity that has taken up the most Japanese ads. Last year, she had made 6 appearances including those for watches and ice-cream.

Earlier, she had went over to Japan to shoot the new series of the ad for Citizen watch. It was an unforgettable experience for her because she was promoting her albums simultaneously and had to travel frequently to China, HK and Taiwan. Furthermore, she fell sick during her stay in Taiwan and developed fever and had diarrhea when she returned to HK. This made the staff worried but Kelly was professional in her work and her schedule was not delayed despite that she was sick.

All picture takings was done in the comfort of a luxury car and Kelly was fortunate that she did not have to be under the sun or rain. The time was allocated well with the Japanese crew and Kelly had not much to worry about. The only main problem for Kelly was to be careful of not accidentally exposing herself when she was doing the daring sitting poses.

Kely had laughed that she was recently fated to be with cars and several scenes in Infernal Affairs III had to be taken in the car as well. In the final scene, Kelly had to spent half a day in the car filming with Andy Lau.

Kelly and Sammi had been constantly competing from their singing careers to even in their movies. Both of them had the opportunity to appear in Infernal Affairs and competed in their acting skills. Now, they again had to compete being the spokesperson for watches. Kelly had expressed that there will be improvement with competition. However, she does not regard Sammi as her opponent and she will only concentrate on doing her work well.

陳慧琳破禁狂野撼Sammi

不經不覺已擔任了 5 年「星辰表」代言人的陳慧琳，新一輯廣告中以「誘人」露腿甫士作為賣點，以迎戰剛剛成為鐵達時手表代言人的鄭秀文，兩位天后將由歌壇影壇鬥到手表界。

陳慧琳 Kelly 與星辰表已合作了 5 年多，每輯廣告都有理想反應， Kelly 酬勞亦因此直綫上升，至今已超過 300 萬港幣以上，向來都是「廣告天后」的 Kelly ，同時亦創下香港藝人拍最多日本廣告的紀錄，去年一口氣拍了 6 個日本廣告，當中包括手表和雪糕廣告等。

早前 Kelly 特地飛到日本拍攝新一輯星辰表的平面廣告，此行令她十分難忘，由於 Kelly 當時正忙於宣傳大碟，經常穿梭中港台三地，在台灣宣傳時又不慎病倒失聲，回港後又出現肚痛、嘔吐及發燒等症狀，令工作人員非常擔心，不過，向來專業的 Kelly 未有因病而延遲工作，如常飛到日本拍攝。

廣告於一個豪華車廂內取景拍攝， Kelly 慶幸不用日曬雨淋，加上日本工作人員十分專業，時間上安排得十分好，令 Kelly 非常放心。新一輯廣告中， Kelly 的形象有新突破，成熟中帶有女人味，穿上粉紅色皮褸，露出誘人的大腿，唯一難度就是要慎防「春光乍泄」。

Kelly 笑言近日與車十分有緣，拍攝電影《無間道 III 終極無間》時亦有不少在車廂內的戲分，尤其是煞料當日，更要與華仔在車廂內坐足半天。

Kelly 勁敵 Sammi 近日又成為另一名牌表「鐵達時」的代言人，兩位天后特別有緣，先由歌壇鬥到影壇，同時成為《無間道》系列的女主角，大鬥演技之餘，如今又掀起「廣告」戰， Kelly 表示，有競爭才有進步，不過她不視對方為假想敵，只會努力做好每份工作。

Blending With The Local People

After last week's Beijing visit, Kelly had flown over to Henan to be the performing guests for a show together with several singers. Although Kelly's origin is from Shanghai, she was able to communicate well with the local Hakka people.

This time, Kelly had worn a pair of gold tights and was on stage together with 120 dancers. She had not expected that the 400 000 strong audience were so engrossed in the show. After her performance, Kelly had also used the local language to communicate with the people which made them extremely happy.

Earlier Kelly had wanted Lee Chuan to be her teacher after getting to work with him. To this, Lee Chuan was surprised when he was asked during his press conference in HK. He added that Kelly was probably only joking. Kelly should be his teacher as she had taught him many things too.

Kelly 上海客家一家親

陳慧琳（ Kelly ）上周出席完香港演藝界訪京團後，日前又轉飛河南鄭州市，與齊秦、孫楠、張惠妹及周杰倫等歌手為「世界客屬第十八屆懇親大會開幕式晚會 — — 中國心．故鄉情」擔任表演嘉賓，大會更安排來自世界各地的客家人見面，雖然 Kelly 是上海人，但當晚她在河南省體育中心亦能與如此多客家人打成一片，現場氣氛相當融洽。

四萬觀眾熱舞

Kelly 在今次表演中穿金色緊身長褲配上小背心，與一百二十位舞蹈員及超過四萬名現場觀眾一起跳舞，她在演出前從未想過當地觀眾可以玩得如此放。演出完畢後，Kelly 又以客家話與當地人談話，逗得他們十分高興。

此外，李泉昨日在尖沙嘴通利琴行召開記者招待會，宣傳首張個人專輯，陳慧琳早前與李泉合作過後，曾表示想拜他為師，對此李泉感到有點驚訝，他說：「我想她開玩笑，我們拍 MV 的時候，她教了我很多東西，我想她也是我的師傅。」李泉透露他為梅艷芳作了一首歌，稍後會進行錄音。

Beijing Visit

Yesterday evening, most of the celebrities, including Kelly, Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo, Cecilia Cheung, and Gigi Leung, attending the Beijing visit had arrived at the airport to meet up with the main group.

Compared to Cecilia Cheung, both Kelly and Gigi Leung were much more friendly to the reporters. Kelly was asked on what she had prepared to wear for the cocktail party in today's afternoon. Kelly claimed that the ones she had chosen are suitable for the event and have 40s feel. If she has the chance to meet and talk to high officials, what would she say? Kelly felt that most important is to allow more HK produced films to be screened in China and to stamp out the piracy problem.

陳慧琳帶備精心挑選的服裝上京

昨傍晚仍有多位參加訪京團的藝人趕往北京跟大隊會合，劉青雲、古天樂、張柏芝、陳慧琳及梁詠琪相繼出現機場。

相比柏芝的目中無人態度，梁詠琪 (Gigi) 和陳慧琳 (Kelly) 友善得多。陳慧琳被問到帶了甚麼衫出席今午舉行的酒會？ Kelly 自言揀選的兩套衫都相當得體，甚具四十年代味道。被問到有機會的話希望跟領導層官員講甚麼？她覺得最重要是放寬更多香港電影在內地上映以及打擊盜版問題。

Injured During Filming

On the previous night, Kelly completed the finishing scenes for her new movie, Infernal Affairs 3. The scene required the car carrying Kelly and Andy Lau to crash. As the road was sealed off by the police, the filming was conducted smoothly.

The car crash scene was first done by the stunts men, and Kelly and Andy Lau only needed to shoot the later scene. It was thus an easy job for both of them. Earlier, Tony Leung had revealed that he had a relaxing time filming the movie because his scenes revolved mainly on the relationship with Kelly. There was even a passionate kissing scene. Kelly started laughing when she mentioned that during that scene, she got kicked by Tony and fell down onto the ground. During the process, she injured her legs and both had developed bruises. However, she has not seen a doctor as it was only a minor injury. Instead, she had applied ointment herself. Recalling the scene, Kelly felt that it was indeed a hard time for her as she did not know how to properly protect herself from the fall.

Although Kelly got injured, she had kept it from her boyfriend. On Tony's joke that he had intentionally wanted to have more NGs so as to kiss Kelly to his satisfaction, Kelly laughed that he had exaggerated. Were Tony's lips good for kissing? Kelly replied that she had thought of herself being Tony's girlfriend, Carina Lau. Initially, she had tried to think of Tony as her boyfriend but she found that their mouth shapes looked different. Furthermore, she was very nervous and could not have any other feelings at that time. In actual fact, it took only 3 to 4 NGs for the kissing scene. Kelly further added that the kissing scene this time was considered only a minor one compared to the one she had with Yutaka Takenouchi in Calmi Cuori Appassionati.

In addition, Kelly has a heavier role in this sequel compared to the first part. The reporters guessed that she would probably get a larger reward this time. Kelly gave a slip of her tongue that she did not receive any payment last time but then her manager by her side immediately add that she did receive a red packet.

陳慧琳雙腳瘀痕

陳慧琳前晚為《終極無間》拍煞科戲，當晚拍攝她與「華仔」的撞車場面，由於事前已向警方申請封路，現場有鐵馬維持秩序，拍攝工作進行非常順利。

撞車場面先由替身上陣，陳慧琳和「華仔」於事後補拍近鏡，故兩人都拍得很輕鬆。日前梁朝偉透露拍《終極無間》相當輕鬆，因為他的戲份主要圍繞與陳慧琳的感情戲，其中一幕床上戲更相當激烈。她提及這場戲亦不禁笑出來，皆因她真的被「偉仔」錫到跌落地，最慘是跌到雙腳都瘀了，右腳更有一塊瘀痕，左腳則有幾小塊瘀痕。不過，她沒有看跌打醫生，畢竟是小事，自己塗跌打酒便可以了。但回想當日拍攝情景，的確很辛苦，可能本身不懂得遷就力度所致。

陳慧琳因激烈床上戲受傷，其男友 Alex 可知道她受了傷？她說，沒有跟他說，亦沒打算說出來。對於「偉仔」曾鬼馬地說刻意 NG ，讓他親個夠。陳慧琳笑「偉仔」太誇張。問她覺得「偉仔」雙唇是否好錫？她笑說：「我將自己代入是劉嘉玲，本來也想當『偉仔』是男朋友，惟是嘴形不同，但我已經好入戲，加上拍攝時又很緊張，我還可以有何感覺？事實這場戲只是 NG 了三、四次，埋位前亦做足了清潔口腔的工夫。」她又言這場戲並不是她從影以來最激的一次，反而與竹野內豐在《冷靜與熱情之間》的一場床上戲激烈得多。

另外，陳慧琳在去年《無間道》是客串性質，這次卻佔戲很重，看來片酬會比上次為高。問她時她一時口快說上次沒有收錢，在旁經理人鍾珍立即補充收了一封利是。

Sexual Harassment From Phone Calls

Kelly usually maintains a cool and stylish image and her dressing is rarely sexy. However, she is still a sexual fantasy target of many teenage males. Besides pictures of her that have been altered and pasted with those of naked women spread on the Net, she was also earlier harassed by mysterious phone calls. The caller had sent several obscene messages to her over the phone.

Kelly had recently filmed the music video for her song, Convinced and she had to make phone calls to harass the third party of her relationship in the video. This made her recall that she had also met with such incidents in her life. She mentioned that her mobile phone number was disclosed and she received many sms from unknown people. There were messages saying that the person loves me, asking me to marry him or that he would wait for me at the chapel. There were even several obscene messages that made her frighten sent to her phone.

Even though she may lose contact with several of her old classmates, Kelly had chose to change her number so as to stop receiving the nuisance calls. Kelly added that some unscrupulous people had given phone numbers of celebrities to earn money. She has now learnt to be smart and only give her number to those she really trusts so as to prevent getting further trouble.

Her luck may not be that good as she had even got such prank calls when she was working overseas. During her trip to Australia for her concert, she went back alone to her hotel room after the show to sleep. The phone in her room suddenly rang during her sleep. Initially, she did not want to pick the phone up but it was very noisy. Over the phone, she heard a low and horrifying voice which made her so scared that she immediately cut off the line. She later guessed that someone was probably playing a prank on her.

陳慧琳頻遭性騷擾

陳慧琳（ Kelly ）主力走型女路線，雖然性感打扮不多，不過 Kelly 仍成為不少男士的性幻想對象， Kelly 除試過被人用「移花接木」方法偽造裸照上網外，早前更多番遭受電話騷擾，其中有人向她大講不雅說話，對她性騷擾。

不雅留言得人驚

Kelly 日前拍新歌《心服口服》ＭＶ，扮演一位打電話騷擾第三者的情困女子，令她想起自己在現實生活裡也曾受電話騷擾的折磨，她說：「我之前 o既手提電話號碼唔知點解外洩，我成日都收到 o的唔知咩人 send 畀我 o既 SMS ，一時話好愛我，一時又話好鍾意我，有一個 SMS 仲留言叫我嫁畀佢喎，又話會 o係教堂等我；仲有 o的人 send o的不雅 o既留言畀我，好得人驚！（係咪三級 o野？）都有 o架！（咁咪性騷擾你囉，講乜 o架？）哎 o也！（聲音高八度）唔好講啦，咁核突，諗起都毛管戙。」

登台接恐怖電話

Kelly 為免再受電話騷擾，寧願與舊同學失去聯絡，也要改掉電話號碼， Kelly 又話知有些不道德的人，將藝人的電話號碼出售賺錢， Kelly 說：「今次我冇咁蠢，用 o左人 o地個名登記，同時我會好小心個電話號碼，只有好親同好信得過 o既人先有，唔想再有麻煩。」

自言當黑的 Kelly ，就算在外地也試過畀電話騷擾，她續說：「 o個次我去澳洲登台，做完騷後一個人返房訓啦，點知訓訓 o下，個電話響，本來我都想唔聽，但個電話又『鈴』到好嘈，我一提起電話就有一把好低沉又恐怖 o既聲：『 Hello … … 』驚到我立即 cut 線，我諗 o的人整蠱我 o者，唔係咩 o既（撞鬼）。」

Metro Radio Anniversary Concert

Kelly had attended Metro Radio's Anniversary Concert on Saturday night and she had worn a pair of 4 inch high heels for the show. Kelly was even arranged to be the first singer to perform.

She had later said that 4 inch is already the limit on the height of shoes that she would wear. During the show, she also had the chance to meet with this year's newcomers. Kelly was asked on her impression on them, her reply was that she was usually in a hurry during performances and did not have the time to take note of everyone. However, she is most familiar with new boy group Sky because they are in the same record label. Kelly felt that they are energetic and danced well.

Kelly, who was usually particular in her dressing, was recently criticised by the Japanese media that the pair of green gloves that she had worn during the Infernal Affairs movie press conference made her look like Kachapin, a green monster which is currently a trend in Japan. To this, Kelly became agitated and said that she could not be bothered with their reports on their differences in dressing tastes.

Kelly 四吋高鞋賀新城台慶

陳慧琳出席「新城」台慶，特地穿上四吋的高跟鞋，「新城」更因她「高人一等」，安排她在音樂會上打頭陣出場。

Kelly 指四吋高跟鞋已經是她穿鞋的極限，不能再高。在音樂會上，她有機會和一班新人同台，事後問及她對今年的新人有什麼印象？　 Kelly 說：「我平日出席活動都是匆匆忙忙，沒有時間留意，我可不是觀眾哩！不過，較有印象是　 Sky ，因為大家同公司，感覺他們很有活力，跳舞也不錯。」另外，向來衣著甚有品味的　 Kelly ，卻被雜誌指她在日本宣傳《無間道》記者會時，打扮像怪獸， Kelly 聞言嘟起小嘴說：「真是白痴，我這麼有型，簡直不識貨，我沒好氣回應，所以不會理會。」

Cancelled Event In China

Kelly was at TVB station to record the National Day celebration show. During this time, she had talked about her recent trip to Shenzhen for an opening ceremony of a complex. However, the event had to be cancelled during the last minute because there were too many people. To this, she appeared rather helpless about the sudden cancellation and said that she had arrived in Shenzhen that day at 4am in the morning and was getting ready to proceed to the opening ceremony at 7 am. Even though the event was cancelled, many people were reluctant to leave. Finally under the guidance of the police, the crowd was finally dispersed. This was not the first time that Kelly had attracted such a large group of people in China. In an earlier occasion, some of the shops' glass panes were broken during the event and items stolen from the record shops. However, it would not be good if her appearance would cause people to get hurt. As such, she had to turn back to HK. Actually, Kelly was very much wanted to appear for the event. This was because, she had taken such a long journey to China but ended up doing nothing at all. Despite this, Kelly had still received payment for the services.

Kelly 唔使做錢照袋

國慶節目「紫荊吐豔慶歡騰」昨日進行錄影，特首夫人董趙洪娉及多位婦女界領袖均有出席，而節目司儀則由汪明荃（阿姐）、顧紀筠、丘凱敏擔任，表演嘉賓計有陳慧琳、何韻詩、陳文媛、麥潔文等清一色女歌星負責。

此外，陳慧琳（ Kelly ）說起日前到深圳為商場剪綵，因圍觀人數逾萬而被迫取消一事，感到十分無奈：「 o個日我凌晨四點幾已經到深圳準備七點鐘 o既開幕，但因為太多人而取消，點知 o的觀眾都係唔肯走，最後由公安話太過危險取消活動，觀眾才肯陸續散去。不過之前我都試過有人逼爆玻璃偷走 o的唱片，如果有人受傷就唔好啦，結果我原車返香港，其實我好想做，咁辛苦搭 o左咁耐車乜都冇做過就原車返港，都幾戇居，同 o的 fans 互相鬥等，真係無癮。（咁仲有冇酬勞？）咁就袋 o左 o既。」
