According to Hong Kong media reports, a dispirited Linda Chung has lost interest in showbiz, and will be returning to her home in Canada for a long hiatus.
The starlet, who was busy with concert rehearsals and filming for drama Tiger Cubs 2, was said to have had very little rest in the past months. Despite so, the 29-year-old had no complains as she had wished to put on a good concert for her fans at the concert.
Unfortunately for Linda, things did not go as planned and her very first concert in Hong Kong was met with negative feedbacks, where Linda was criticised for shaky singing, bad dancing and poor stage presence.
According to a source, the series of backlash made Linda dispirited and caused her to cast doubts on her music career. The criticisms also affected the actress, who has since lost confidence in her showbiz performances.
Additionally, Linda was seen looking very distracted during a fighting scene for Tiger Cubs 2 recently, and had many NGs shots as a result.
When asked about the issue, Linda confirmed that she had indeed requested for a long break after filming for Tiger Cubs 2 ends, and has no plans to take on any new projects anytime soon.
It is speculated that Linda wishes to follow in the footsteps of her good friend Aimee Chan, who had recently gotten married and is enjoying a blissful family life.
Linda Chung to Take a Break After Filming “Tiger Cubs 2”
Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) is overly stressed recently. From the pressure of preparing for her first solo concert to the rushing of completing Tiger Cubs 2<飛虎 II>, it is of no surprise that the 29-year-old did not even bother to hide her bad mood during the filming for Tiger Cubs 2 last week.
Linda’s first solo concert, Love Love Love, was held on August 22 and 23 at the Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Center. In addition to exhaustive preparations, the negative critical reviews that Linda had garnered from her concert – old-fashioned costumes, poor vocal abilities, less-than-stellar dancing, and uncharismatic stage presence – notably contributed to Linda’s recent downcast mood.
Exhausted from lack of spirit and sleep, Linda looked far from happy during the filming of Tiger Cubs 2 on August 29. Linda was unusually quiet and displayed a short attention span as she listened to the action choreographer. When it was her time to film, Linda kept on slipping and shots had to be retaken.
During the break, Linda rarely interacted with the crew and sat in a far corner. When a crew member came up to her to ask if she wanted water, Linda dully replied, “I don’t want it. I only drink Pocari Sweat (Japanese sports drink).” She immediately called another crew member to purchase the drink for her.
When bystanders stopped by to ask for photographs, Linda pretended she did not hear them. When she noticed a reporter snapping photos of her, she angrily said, “Can you silent your camera?”
After shooting Tiger Cubs 2, Linda will not accept any job offers and return to Canada for a long break.
“Yes, I will be on a break,” said Linda. “I want to rest.”
Tabloids reported that Linda lost the spirit to continue her career as an artist after negative reviews of her concert were published, but Linda denied the reports, expressing that she has read good reviews so far.
“My friends have reacted positively so far. I am satisfied with my performance. The whole point of the concert was to promote love, and my fans said they felt it.”
