Actress-Turned-Office Lady Louisa Mak Spotted Out Buying Drinks for Co-Workers#LouisaMak downgraded her contract to doing only one show per year.https://t.co/WrRRsDn5ql
Last year, 2015 Miss Hong Kong winner Louisa Mak (麥明詩), who at one point was considered to be TVB’s rising star, “downgraded” her contract to doing only one show per year. This new “green leaf” contract—as referred by the media—allows Louisa the time to pursue other interests besides making regular TV performances.
And the Cambridge law graduate has chosen to return to being a regular citizen, reportedly working full-time at an international consulting firm.
But the 28-year-old has not completely given up on celebrityhood. In a recent episode of the TVB talk show Young and Restless <#後生仔傾吓偈>, which Louisa is still a regular cast member, she expressed that she is still leaving room for a possible full-time return as an artiste. She lamented that she is currently not earning as much as she used to. –
A few days ago, Louisa and two of her male co-workers were spotted running errands near their office. Dressed in “office lady” attire, Louisa was seen buying drinks at a nearby shopping mall. Reporters approached them and asked her if she was planning on returning to an on-screen career. One of her colleagues stood protectively in front of her and jokingly said, “Don’t ask her more! She’ll get fired!”
The 2018 TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony will take place on December 16. The list of nominees was recently released and netizens are furiously debating who they think the winners should be. This year, there are a total of 18 nominees for the Best Actress award. The following three actresses were harshly criticized by netizens for being included on the list.
The first is Niki Chow (周勵淇) who is nominated for her performance in Another Era <再創世紀> as Ella a rich second generation who takes over her father’s company due to his illness.
.
The second is Natalie Tong (唐詩詠) in Stealing Seconds <棟仁的時光> as Kris, a woman looking for her missing fiancé. Ever since Natalie won Best Actress last year, she has been receiving criticism from netizens deeming her unworthy of the award.
.
The third is Louisa Mak (麥明詩) in OMG, Your Honour <是咁的，法官閣下> as Helen; a new lawyer. Seemingly it was the perfect role for her given her background as a lawyer. However, netizens found her facial expressions odd and her delivery of dialogue was like reading from a textbook. Louisa admitted that she has a long way to go and feels that she is unworthy of her nomination this year.
She may be a beauty queen with a Cambridge law degree who expressed interest in being a political leader, but one dream is too big for Louisa Mak Ming-sze – moving out of her family home.
“If I wanted to move out of my parents’ home, I would have a lot of issues financially,” the new Miss Hong Kong said in an exclusive interview with the South China Morning Post.
do feel strongly about it because a lot of my friends recently graduated, got jobs and want some freedom from their parents and are unable to get anywhere to sleep.”
The 23-year-old said the city’s soaring property prices had left young people unable to chase their true vocations and instead chasing high-paying jobs in sectors like finance and medicine.
“If you don’t even have a place to sleep, how can you talk about dreams and aspirations?”
