Nancy Wu recently admitted that she has been compared to Sheren Tang, the original star of the hit TVB franchise, “Rosy Business”.
As reported on Mingpao, the actress, who attended a promotional event for the fourth instalment of the series, “No Return” with co-star Wayne Lai a week after the drama premiered, said that she has seen many comments and criticisms about her character Deng Gui Chan from fans of the original.
“Actually, when the series was aired, I probably knew what the comments would be. After a few episodes, I’ve refocused my attention on the characters and don’t want other comments to affect me, so I’m really enjoying myself,” she said.
When asked if she thinks it is unfair for people to compare the two of them, Nancy said that it is understandable seeing that “Rosy Business” is considered a classic to TVB viewers.
“Now that I’m over the nervousness, I just focus on my own role and won’t think too much about comparisons,” she said. “When you’re an actor, it is natural to hear good and bad opinions.”
Nancy added that whatever comments she may get, she will have to accept it because it means that people are watching the drama.
“And that is a good thing, so I am thankful,” she added.
