Tony Hung Accepts Criticism with a Positive Attitude
In the span of ten years, Tony Hung (洪永城) went from being a variety show host to a television actor. Upon joining TVB, he quickly rose up the ranks and replaced Raymond Wong (黃浩然) in the lead role in Captain of Destiny <張保仔>. Although Tony put in a lot of effort to play the part of Cheung Po Tsai, his performance was met with mixed reviews. Those who enjoyed his performance complimented his comedic flair, while those who criticized his performance felt that he was unsuitable for the role.
Cast as a replacement only one week before filming commenced due to Raymond’s illness, Tony admitted that he initially felt a lot of pressure. “After filming commenced, I was engrossed into the character. I focused on the script and my acting and didn’t have time to think about anything else, so the pressure fizzled out quickly.”
As a relatively new actor, Tony accepted netizens’ feedback with a positive attitude. “I went online to see what the audience was saying. There were both good and bad. The negative comments critiqued my acting skills and emotional scenes. I agree that I could have been more well-rounded in my acting. Of course I was a little unhappy. But I will accept and absorb the audiences’ feedback. Feedback is my motivation. Next time, I will do better. Hopefully the audience will appreciate the efforts of both the on-stage and off-stage staff!”
Tony’s costar, Grace Chan (陳凱琳), also received a lot of negative criticism regarding her performance. In response to the feedback, Tony defended Grace, “It was most exhausting for her during filming. It’s a pity that most of the criticism is about her. Hopefully the audience can patiently wait for an improved Grace Chan and Tony Hung.” Tony went on to compliment Grace’s positive attitude and joked, “It’s like Grace doesn’t need to sleep! But no matter when and where, her eyes are always so big. It makes me jealous! And she’s constantly full of energy. She’s probably an alien.”

Criticisms for Grace is worse than for Tony. Both of them have high EQ so not to worry. Plus point; Ruco gets the attention he deserves and everyone now sorta appreciates Raymond Wong.
I like Tony’s attitude towards criticism and his reply to those criticism. Very positive. That’s how one can improve.
I also hope to see improved Grace Chan and Tony Hung.

@freedalas tony is ok in supporting roles. Grace should not be given lead roles…if she can perform well, even supporting roles can get recognition. Yes, our darling hero Ruco saved the drama.
@freedalas: Yes yes. Our dear Ruco saved COD. Thank god there’s Ruco else the ratings would have nose dived. And of coz, Ruco was fantastic and still delivered an outstanding performance given the unfavourable conditions: poor script, weak co-stars. Frankly I quite like Tony and his attittude for taking in all these critique in good stride. As for Grace, sometimes I feel she talks too much and craves all the attention/limelight. I find Tony much more likeable than Grace. TVB has fast forwarded Grace’s career too early, gave her too many leading roles and she’s really not up to it (yet).
Tony does have the gift of the gab.
