Aimee Chan Hopes to Portray Psychotic Roles; Aims for Best Actress Award
Both Aimee Chan’s (陳茵媺) love life and career were flourishing. After Aimee’s romance with Moses Chan (陳豪) was exposed last year, it was surprisingly well received by the public. In the Year of the Dragon, Aimee hoped to make greater strides, “My income last year was okay. However, I did not sit down to calculate my total earnings. Money is not the primary driver for me, as I hope to gain more experience instead. Aside from saving money to buy an apartment for myself, I hope to purchase a larger home for my parents too!”
Aimee’s parents remained in Canada over the holiday, thus she visited her aunt and uncle in Hong Kong onLunar New Year Eve. Aimee praised her aunt for preparing tasty Fujian dishes for the holiday meal, in which the food preparation took 3 to 4 days. The family will eat rice balls to signify the family being together. Due to her westernized upbringing, Aimee disregarded the Chinese tradition of forbidding hair washing on Lunar New Year Day. Asked whether she will prepare rice balls for Moses, Aimee said, “Yes I will! Sesame rice balls are my favorite! I love eating desserts!” (How about coffee-flavored rice balls?) “I think the taste will be a bit odd!”
Aside from winning diamond bachelor, Moses Chan’s heart, Aimee also received the audience’s blessings for the romantic pairing. Since Aimee had a few days off over the holiday, the couple were able to visit many public places to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday together.
Asked whether her family had attempted to force her to get married soon, Aimee responded, “No, they are very open minded!” Although Aimee and Moses possessed large families, fortunately they were not nosy, allowing the couple freedom in their relationship.
Hopes to Win Best Actress Award
Aimee revealed her New Year wish, “Last year, I was often sick. As I age, I find that health is increasingly important, allowing you to do what you wish.” This year, Aimee hoped to challenge herself by portraying somewhat psychotic, evil, or tragic characters, preferrably extreme roles.
“I want to deliver an exciting feeling. I hope to continue to improve and not remain stagnant!” (Do you wish to become Best Actress?) “Of course! Teresa Mo (毛舜筠) and Sheren Tang (鄧萃雯) are my idols! They are able to balance their personal lives with their careers. A friend advised that if you live a happy life, you will be able to deliver a good acting performance.”

Jayne: Aimee has been looking better and better since dating Moses. She has happiness written all over her face. It is indeed refreshing to see the bubby love between TVB’s 2 public couples: Aimee and Moses, as well as Bosco and Myolie. The couples obviously love sharing the happiness they experience in their own relationships with others.
On another note, Aimee’s legs look great in those red pants and boots; reminds me of long-legged anime girls due to their perfect shape.
Well to be blunt she is nowhere near the level of a Best Actress winner, not even Most Improved in my opinion. I mean, there’s always room for improvement but hopefully her Cantonese will get better (she also slurs her words too).
As for Moses and Aimee…is it just Hong Kong viewers that like the pair, because throughout a lot of articles and threads people (overseas) have talked about how they’re too much in the media and it’s getting annoying. And then we hear the media talk about how everyone is accepting. Really? 😛 I mean, it’s good to have found love, but hopefully they can tone it down a bit, (please).
I second this!!!
+1
the only reason why she’s recieving so much attention is she is mose’s gf . he acting has improved but still not good enough to be best actress
Lily,
“And then we hear the media talk about how everyone is accepting. Really?”
In Hong Kong, Moses and Aimee often appear at promo events together, thus they are accepted by advertisers and the public. They are considered physically compatible.
You won’t be seeing Ron and Viann at promos together smiling and chatting openly about each other anytime soon. Fans often say nasty things about Viann.
If you compare the 2 couples’ relationship, then it becomes more obvious that Moses and Aimee are well accepted.
People may not wish to hear them declare their love for each other, but their dating is not protested against, thus accepted.
Did Moses and Aimee ever pair up in a series?? IF they did, then I think the public would usually be more accepting than the other couples who never did. I like it when a couple shares their happiness and love to the public because I hate it when celebs hide it and lie through their teeth even when it is sooo obvious. However, I agree with some others here that it does get annoying when it is over the top as well.
@HeTieShou
No they haven’t paired up in any drama (or any that has aired already). They pretty much through themselves at the media because from the start when there were rumors that Moses is courting her the reporters would be like oh how’s the chasing going and he’s like ‘I’m trying, I’m trying’. Like it’s one thing to declare you’re already a couple, but I found it odd that us viewers got to hear about the chase as well. How did Moses know they would last? I feel like some of that is publicity and maybe TVB’s push to make them the next ‘marketing’ point.
threw*
@Lily I definitely agree. It’s funny how everything started around the time that Bernice was in the hospital. Even though Bernice and Moses broke up in 2008? They were still making money as a TVB couple in 2010, yet the moment she gets sick, I guess Moses can’t earn enough money, so had to finally look for a replacement.
After what happened with Bernice, I have a really bad impression of Moses.
@Lily,
Thanks for the info! I really feel bad for Bernice… I think that pairing up with Moses is also a way to promote Aimee.I guess she just got lucky.
@ Nicole
+10 I agreed I have a bad impression of Moses after what happened too.
+10
Agreed! Too much attention to their relationship made me want to puke! Aimee is benefiting from this!
I am actually really happy when any couple shares their romance because I hate it when they hide it. However, it gets annoying when it overdone too…
I agreed.
I really enjoyed her acting in Super Sleuths.. and think her and Moses are a nice couple. Looking forward to seeing more of her on TV.
yea Aimee does having a pair of beautiful legs and she looks like sunshine in this pic!
More like Worst Lead Actress award.
ROFL the right award
I agree X2
I was thinking if she wants to win Best Actress Award, maybe 10 years later.
If she wants more “psychotic, evil, or tragic characters, preferably extreme roles”, please don’t be a role that shows her wearing her bras again or a rape scene. I was stunned to hear she got nominated for her rape scene. She can’t even squeeze a tear at first, it was the worst scene and her performance ruined the case in that episode.
seriously, she cannot even handle a victim’s role in The Truth! OMG, best actress? More like in 50 years time, that, given she practice everyday :X
Nicely said Larry..Dream on Aimee…
Totally agree!! I wonder if TVB will eer have an award like that?? That would be sooo funny…
I hope not. If she gets Worst lead actress award, means she actually have to be lead. I hope she stays supporting role.
erh, her acting sucks! Aim Best Actress Award??? wait for at least 10 years more, Aimee when no other actress working in TVB maybe)
She may improved in the future. A lot of 1st line actresses now used to be “sucks” in acting. Anyway, I like her bright smile.
She may improve – > Linda.
She may deteriorate – > Tavia.
She may never improve despite being promoted like crazy thus never becoming first line- > Shirley.
Aimee needs a lot of improvement in terms of her acting, and even Moses’ acting is questioned a lot. But I have to say whether or not people like them or not for their acting abilities or as idols, it’s really hard to find people who would hate them for their personalities. They both seem genuinely friendly and down-to-earth, and seem very compatible together.And they both have a healthy and positive image. Always smiling and pleasant looking. Just like Myolie and Bosco. And I think that’s why the audience would accept them more than they would compared to Viann and Ron, mainly because of Viann’s scandalous past and her current tactics to get attention and promotion for herself.
Since when is Myolie and Bosco known for great personality? Bosco: smoker, nude in house, waste money on stupid expensive cars and weird clothes
Myolie: award desperado, desperate to hide love(before won award), exaggerate acting
Depends on how you look at it. Bosco has a very fashion forward style that may not be appreciated by most, but need to remember that HK people are very trendy. And wearing weird clothes does not mean he doesn’t have a great personality?
And since when does being nude in their own house reflect badly on their personalities? It’s so common place unless you are prudish. Maybe your neighbour is doing it at the moment, but most of us aren’t nosy enough to go peering into people’s houses. And people don’t expect someone to be looking through a tele-lens to catch us naked.
And if you earn a lot, you can spend a lot. Nothing wrong with spending things on something you like. It’s spending outside your means that is bad.
To add to Nicole’s thoughts, just because Bosco smokes doesn’t mean his personality isn’t great. It is unhealthy, but some people smoke to tone down stress. The choice of course is yours, but what I’m trying to say is great personality doesn’t necessarily have relations to smoking.
Besides if smoking = bad personality. Then Charmaine, Kevin, Ruco, Raymond Wong, Raymond Lam, etc. all have bad personalities?
As for Myolie, wanting to win an award doesn’t mean she has bad personality. And exaggerated acting has nothing to do with her personality at all. If not everyone who is bad at acting has bad personality?
And hiding your romance is nothing uncommon for celebs and doesn’t reflect on their personality, just means they want their privacy. Do you want all your love life story to be splashed all over front page? Maybe yes, if you are Viann Zhang, but for famous artistes…. Ronald and Charlene hide a whole marriage, Andy hide a woman for 20 years, etc.
Frankly, I think among the siu sangs, Bosco seems to be the best boyfriend material. Bosco is easygoing and seems to dotes on Myolie a lot and give in to her whims. Kenneth is the best husband material as he is an overall good guy who likes to stay at home. Raymond and Ron? Boob chasers.
Raymond Lam does not smoke. And talking about artists’ real personality, we never know.
If Bosco is the best BF then Ron is too, he still hasnt dump Viann for all the things she had done LOL. Raymond’s ex Rain Li is not famous for her boobs ^^ and his first girlfriend does not have such nice boobs either. So like I said, artists, we never know. Maybe someday Kenneth will be boosted up with a big scandal, now just the newspaper is not that interested in him.
Maybe he does. Many smokes behind the scene, rarely pictured smoking. There are casual smokers and heavy smokers. Doesn’t mean they’re terrible. Some smoke to destress, some smoke to maintain their weight.
@NX LF was caught smoking in the past. Maybe he quit, maybe he keeps it secret, we don’t know.
@Nicole, yeah, so you also can not be sure that which one of them is a good BF or a great husband. We don’t know.
And I rmb Bosco had a big scandal with his Ex in the past, before he dated Myolie.
@Nicole: Are you sure Kenneth is really a good guy :P. Maybe one day his secret is revealed and wow, it’s even worse than big boobs China model :P. Who noe of an escort.
None of showbiz ppl are innocent, fact so.
I dun judge any of them as angel because one day the truth will be revealed, and see them as angels just hurt the fan.
I agree with Nicole that when was bad acting associated with your actual personality?? As for personality, who really knows how they really are behind the scenes?? You can sort of guess based on how they act in public, how they interact and treat their peers, parents, friends,etc… but it is all in public. Who knows what they do in private?? The thing is, IF you like them and are a fan of them, you would give them the benefit of the doubt. However, if you initially hate them and don’t like them at all, you would hate and criticize them at any chance you get.
A lot of artists smoke since I heard it helps them relieve stress. Raymond Lam DOES or USED to smoke.. I heard him admit it and I think he was caught as well. But since his health is getting bad I think he may have tried to quit so don’t know if he still smokes.
@Fox,
I agree with you and like I have said, who really knows how they are?? I don’t think anyone in the industry are clean and innocent angels. Honestly, IF you are then how can you survive in the tough E circle?? It is true that some are nicer than others, but they still have to have some kind of toughness in them if they want to succeed and survive. Overall, we have an idea and can assume that Kenneth is a good guy but how can we be truly sure?? It would be really sad if he was a boob and plastic chaser too.. Even people we know in real life or even our own family members, they do many things behind our backs that really shock us. When we find out, it hurts us more than anything…
Bosco: smoker, nude in house, waste money on stupid expensive cars and weird clothes
Myolie: award desperado, desperate to hide love(before won award), exaggerate acting
All the above do not constitute bad personality, especially the fashion one and the acting one. How is wearing ‘weird’ clothes and having exagerated acting constitute bad personality.
agree that her acting skills still have a long way to go. I dislike listening her in cantonese.
It seems like everyone is criticizing her more for her Cantonese skills than her acting.It is true that her acting is not good, but I guess her language skills are bringing her down even more…
I wonder if tvb purposely did not help bernice out when the gold-digger rumors erupted. They probably knew about moses and aimee and this was an easy way for them to get fans to accept it since they will see it as “moses finding love again after bernice breaks his heart”.
I don’t hate Aimee. I think she’s very cute is small comedic roles but her enunciation is horrible and her acting needs a lot of work.
I also don’t think that Aimee should be thinking about best actress too much… She is really way too far from it. I think she should just concentrate on improving her acting and showing more of a passion for acting rather than any awards since awards don’t always show that you are a great actress… There are many that act decently well yet never get an award while there are others who aren’t so great but get it… Awards don’t really mean much anymore when you are not passionate about what you do.
Why she shouldn’t think of it. Can’t put something as an aim to life? So when you are working, you can’t dream of being boss one day and keep living as an employee all the days? If that, boss won’t be born.
It is ok to think and dream, but I personally think that you need to look at yourself first to see if you truly are capable of it or not?? Dreaming and thinking is one thing, but you need to be real about it too or else you will disappoint yourself…
I suppose her goal to become TV queen in TVB is not off the ballpark. Sure her acting is average at best, however TVB can give the meaningless award to whomever it wants, LOL
To be blunt, I think she should just shut up and get more speech and acting classes haha
er, her and Moses = I don’t care, I think Moses can do better actually haha
Maybe she can get one when she at Sheren’s age LOL
haha u mean get an award at Sheren’s age? haha well I guess anything is possible but I won’t be holding my breath hhee
More like improve her Chinese, unless TeeVeeBee foots the bill.
Well seeing how TVB gives awards to the people that seem to least deserve it, I don’t think that any of us should be shocked if Aimee does get best actress in the near future. The awards are rigged and don’t mean anything anymore…
Aimee is no where near Best Actress, I’m afraid… Just because you date a former- TV King doesn’t automatically Queen material! Maybe she can look forward to supporting or even favorite character…?
i like christine kou better than her…. seeing both christine kou and her in super snoop, she cannot even performe better than a newcomer :\
Aimee’s acting is alright when she’s portraying characters similar to herself LOL. She is very cute, but like what the rest said, her Cantonese is a major problem. I don’t know why they cast her to be in The Great Eunuch, considering that the script of Eunuch is very eloquent and you need a really good grasp of the language to recite the lines naturally…
Her “canton wa” is so bad that I want to puke listening to her. She was raised abroad and so was Linda, how come Linda speak cantonese so much better and sounds so sweet?`
Think she or Kate will win best actress for sure since 620 seems to like her. And for best actor her favorite “son” will prevail as well.
Linda is very hardworking and has good attitude. When she first started in TVB, she can’t read chinese, so she will ask her dad through webcam every night by writing out every word she doesnt know. Aimee? Puh-lease, she’s only interested in acting lovey-dovey with Moses to increase exposure. Besides she’s not young anymore.
+1. And Linda has more raw talent than Aimee. I think it will be many years before Aimee Chan gains enough experience to deserve Best Actress. Never say never, but for now I don’t see much potential in her beyond romcoms.
Lol, if that Bernice must be super hardworking as her Chinese is way better than Linda’s :P.
Linda used to be bashed a lot when she was heavily promoted as well. Time flies, and now she has lots of fans.
Linda was born in a Cantonese family. Her parents, relatives spoke Cantonese. So she only has the problem of accent for a person who live aboard long but she can speak Cantonese (can’t read). Linda’s voice can say sweet but also can say chicken voice.
I have a question: if Linda can’t read chinese, how does she read her scripts?
I thought Linda could read Chinese?
Bernice and Aimee both have their parents helping them out. So this must be the same case for Linda.
Aimee also has bernice’s old tutor- Moses!
Anyway, this whole article makes me wanna projectile vomit!
Assistants had to pinyin the words for her. Not sure now but until 2010 it is so
@josie,
Well said on the private tutor part! LOL
I can’t stand Aimee NOT because she’s not fluent in Cantonese..but her high pitch voice and exeggerating behavior with Moses in the public is really eyes sour. Made me hate Moses now.
I’m so glad so many ppl feel the same way as I do about Aimee: Major annoyance, terrible acting, and really her look is nothing to be desire for. I am really not interested in TVB’s stuff as before if they continue to promote talent-less ppl like Aimee Chan. I have no more respect for Moses, he’s no taste for choosing Aimee over Bernice. So unfair that TVB didn’t promote Bernice as they are with ugly Aimee. (Hope you read this Aimee Chan, yes this is a HATE message to you, squinty-eye chick)
Haha well I would guess Bernice is the one who broke up with him since he wasn’t confirming their relationship to the media and she was tired of waiting, then Aimee came along. I can’t say Moses is too good for her though, because I personally don’t find him good looking at all. Poor Bernice. Hopefully she’ll find someone soon too.
yah!hope she find a better guy an soon .
SAY IT OUT LOUD SISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, best joke I’ve heard this year. I hope she’s only joking cause her acting sucks BIG time!
Her body looks great! And I respect the fact she has ambition, however someone needs to tell her success means ambition PLUS talent. Why does everyone thinks playing a crazy girl role will win awards? Because crazy girl role is difficult to play? Of course not! All roles are difficult! The question is not whether difficult for her but the level of pain for us the viewers. I know her capabilities, seen her in too many series. I really like her, I love her with Moses but if winning the fake award called TVB best acting will mean she will stop having such ambition, PLEASE TVB LET HER WIN!! Spare me! SPARE ME!!!
Like please ask MYolie to stop acting sexy!!
i agree w/u on myolie. the way she poses and dresses in her recent pixes remind me so much of kate.
Must have been jealous of Kate for slurping all over her man filming LOO.
Sexy is a new trend in TVB. Even Yuk Lui like Linda acts sexy, you know, Myolie is nothing :p.
True but some are just not born to be sexy and should not try to be sexy because it just doesn’t suit them…
Rite through. But they still act sexy
I agree that it is good to have ambition and goals, but do you have the talent and other means to actually meet those goals?? If not, then it is useless and disillusional to have dreams like that…
Everyone has dream and if dreaming then dream big (according to Walt Disney) or dream high (Korean series). Why dream small?
TVB awards are…well…like MTV Movie awards: bs and sting. In the future, Hong Kong will have 4-5 best actress award coressponding to the number of TV stations. TVB award will decrease its value more.
This girl is cute, young, not sexy even she shows her bra, English voice is much better than mine (even I graduated from a U.S. University Like her), her acting is…”eatable”, sometimes annoying. Well, best actress? She may have it….’cause she is TVB actress
I you never try to reach for the stars, you can be sure that you will never attain them.
*Clap Clap*, Yeah TVB award is said to be meaningless by someone, then the day after these ppl say like it is very meaningful.
Wow I don’t see why everyone is criticizing her and judging her right now. The reporter just asked her if she wanted to become best actress. Obviously she would say yes, it’s like every actresses dream to become one. C’mon she’s not going to be that cool and go like “NO”
Like most of you here, I don’t care much about Aimee’s mediocre acting. She has many years to go before she can come near to getting a Best Actress award. Still, nothing wrong with aiming high and setting yourself a mid- to long-term goal.
One thing though, she came to Singapore just 2 days ago and I had the opportunity to meet her. She was really bubbly and friendly, and seemed like a genuinely nice person with no airs about her. 🙂
I thought her role in TOT is pretty psychotic and evil already while her character in Super Snoops is pretty extremist.
Aimee is genuinely good. However she should follow graphic designer career rather than this acting.
