On the evening of January 1, TVB's "Thousands of Stars Award Ceremony 14" was held in the Macao Special Administrative Region. This is the first time that the TVB Awards Ceremony has been held in Macao, and a total of 2023 awards were presented at the ceremony, including 25 Hong Kong awards, 17 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area awards and 4 Malaysia awards.

That night, Charmaine Sheh won the Best Actress Award, the Favorite Actress Award in the Greater Bay Area, and the Malaysia Favorite Actress Award for "The News Queen", achieving a grand slam; Gao Haining, whose popularity soared with "The News Queen", won the Best Supporting Actress Award for the first time, and "The News Queen" became the big winner of this year's awards ceremony, winning 8 awards including Best Drama and Favorite TVB Drama in the Greater Bay Area.

Chen Hao won the Best Actor for "Breaking the Poison Strongman", winning the cup again after 16 years, and the Best Supporting Actor went to Lin Zishan of "Invisible Team".

Broke the TVB record and won the "Best Actress" three times

"News Queen" made Charmaine Sheh return to TVB for the first time in six years. The news anchor Wen Huixin played by her is full of wisdom and courage, and the drama series has set off a craze for drama in both the mainland and Hong Kong. With more and more superb acting skills, Charmaine Sheh once again achieved a classic role. The day before the "Thousands of Stars Awards Ceremony 2023", Charmaine Sheh won the "Ingenuity Actor of the Year" award at the Weibo Night, and "News Queen" won the "Weibo Drama of the Year" award. After many years, Hong Kong dramas have once again tasted the taste of "out of the circle".

Charmaine Sheh specially rushed from Beijing to Macau to attend the awards ceremony, and TVB also gave her and "News Queen" a full ranking. Charmaine Sheh won the Best Actress Award, the Favorite Actress Award in the Greater Bay Area, the Malaysian Favorite Actress Award, and there was an unexpected surprise - she won the Best Dressed Male and Female Artist Award with Ma Guoming.

This is the third time Charmaine has won the "Best Actress" award at the Stars Awards, the first two being in 2006 ("Phoenix Quartet") and 2014 ("Apostle Walker"). As a result, she broke the TVB record and became the third artist to win the award. Charmaine Sheh was very excited when she gave her acceptance speech: "I won this award today, and I can confirm that it is also a good thing to not be separated from two or two! Every time I stand on this stage, I will be very nervous, and it is difficult to win the award, not only by my efforts, but also by everyone's efforts." I am very grateful to Director Zhong Shujia for coming to me to film, and I am very happy to meet the role of Sister Man. It's a pleasure to work with a group of good actors, you guys have given me good memories. I hope to meet more good characters in the future. I am very happy to cooperate with TVB and Youku this time, and I hope that there will be more good dramas in the future, so that everyone can really go home and chase dramas. ”

From the "sound of chickens" to the powerful faction, every step is steady

Some people say that Charmaine Sheh is "the last first sister in the heyday of TVB". Such a "status in the rivers and lakes" is inseparable from Charmaine Sheh's own efforts. She entered the industry in 1997 through the Miss Hong Kong contest, and played the heroine in her first work "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", which is quite rare in TVB. But as a newcomer with zero experience, Charmaine Sheh caused a lot of criticism at the time: poor line skills, immature acting skills, and can't afford the female number one...... She refused to admit defeat, and spent two years reading the newspaper aloud every day to practice her voice, and practiced her line skills. 2000's "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" became a turning point in her reputation: she played the optimistic and cheerful heroine Zhu Junhao, and the relationship between her and the "first brother" Zhang Zhilin touched many audiences.

From "Chicken Voice" to a recognized powerhouse, Charmaine Sheh has taken every step of the way on the road of acting, creating a number of classic roles. Er Chun in "Golden Branch Desire", Liu Sanhao in "Palace Scheming", and Sister Nail in "Apostle Walker...... Charmaine Sheh's acting path is quite broad, whether it is a drama or a comedy, whether the role is spicy or an internal show, she can grasp it one by one. Charmaine Sheh is also an actor who has really made a name for herself in the mainland among artists of the same generation: the role of Concubine Xian in "Yanxi Raiders" made her loved by more mainland audiences, and she has also performed wonderful performances in "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" and "Yanyuntai".

At the "Thousands of Stars Awards Ceremony 2023", TVB thoughtfully arranged Lin Feng and Yang Qianyao (Yang Yi) as the award presenters for the Best Actress. It is worth mentioning that the three of them are actually quite related: Lin Feng and Yang Qianyao have worked together 10 times, but Charmaine Sheh who has played the couple the most times with Lin Feng is Charmaine Sheh, and the most memorable is the "Burst Nail CP" in "Apostle Walker", and Charmaine Sheh and Yang Qianyao have also cooperated in classic dramas such as "Palace Scheming". When awarding the "Best Drama", TVB carried out the "Memory Killing" to the end, letting Charmaine Sheh blow the whistle to reproduce the classic scene of "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October", and summoned the "first brother" Zhang Zhilin as the guest of honor.

Next, the audience will continue to see Charmaine Sheh in Hong Kong dramas. She will play the role of Qiu Haoer, a wealthy heir in the fashion business war drama "The Inheritor of Family Glory". This is also her second collaboration with Lin Feng after "Apostle Walker".

Previously, TVB executive Le Yiling also revealed in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News that one of the most favorite Hong Kong artists used by mainland video platforms is Huang Zongze.

And the success of "News Queen" in the mainland has also injected a shot in the arm for TVB. Director Zhong Shujia said: "'News Queen' proves that co-productions can also be good. I hope to make more high-quality co-productions for everyone to see in the future. At present, co-production dramas such as "Black Moonlight" and "Women and Heroes 4" have started filming.
