Today's newcomers as an artistes usually have an opportunity to become a movie star. The "29th Hong Kong Film Awards" will soon be presenting the "Best New Performer Award". To the group of newcomers, it is one of the biggest events in life. Before Aarif Lee and a bunch of young stars pulled in votes together forming "Brotherhood", Fala Chen and Oceane Zhu only can draw the small cards, hoping the judges could give lots of support! 
This year, Fala Chen is depending on "Laughing Gor Turning Point" for the newcomer award. Initially the nomination list did not have her name listed at all, but since Edison Wong from "Bodyguards and Assassins" was disqualified because he already got the award before for "Winds of September". For this reason, Fala was able to make it into the 6th finalist, but Fala felt that its a rare opportunity. "Prince of Tears" was Oceane Zhu's first job after graduation. She is currently the youthful 21 year old girl who has to portray a mother of two daughters in the 1950's. Unexpectedly her acting even led to director Yofan being one of the first directors to tear up. She already successfully became the "Best New Performer" to many.
Towards her first role in "Prince of Tears", Oceane said: "At the tme I was thinking if I already tried and still doesn't work out, then I'll go back to school, so I accepted the role. At first I was really worried that I won't do good and get scolded by the director, but turns out that he's very caring. He even has the patience to teach me on every scene, so I definitely was able to do act out the role well. If not, then I'm sorry to him!" Contrasting from Oceane who had the director teach her, Fala was praised that she had potential by the director. Fala did all her preparations for the role, she said: "Francis started filming before me, so before I started working I went to visit the set. I followed my brother (Francis) around, he was really willing to teach me. He told me to treat him as a father because in acting, its the brother who raised the younger sister."
Asked about interesting things in filming? Oceane smiled and said that the hardest part was to hold in her laughter. One time she couldn't stop laughing and NGed 4-5 times! Also, Oceane reveals that the director told her that she needs to meet up with Gary Zhang privately before filming. She said: "Because in the film we play husband and wife, so the director told me to go meet up with Gary alone, like watch movies and have dinner together. All the expenses would be provided by the director, he told me to go have fun too! It was pretty funny."
Hard to control emotions
Fala expressed that the most memorable part was when she threatened her brother Francis that she'll die if she doesn't let Michael Tse go. She said: "The results of the far shots were really good, it went smoothly. However, when I was doing the close up shots, I wasn't able to get into the correct emotions right away because I don't have enough experience. Not like Francis who can still get back the correct emotions despite having to do it a dozen times. In the end, the director cut out the far distance shots because the close up shots showed Francis' tear drop really well."
