Cast members from TVB series "Jewel's Splendor" including Bowie Lam and Moses Chan headed out to Qingdao yesterday for location filming, where Moses was well received by the female fans. Gigi Lai is unable to join the cast on this trip as she has to stay in Hong Kong to look after her brother Stephen, who was seriously injured in a road accident. With reports that there is no set date for her return to work, leading to the progress on the show being slow and coming in overbudget, Moses says: "Things have been slowed down and spending has gone up, but you cannot blame Gigi because the process of clearing customs with all the equipment is lengthy and complicated. I hope Gigi's brother will be fine and she can focus on her work again." Bowie also supports Gigi, saying: "It is slower, but not by much and the most important thing is that her brother recovers." When she returns to work, Gigi will need to join another trip to Qingdao with the cast. source: tvbspace
i guess the whole world is now waiting for Gigi?? amazed they didn't stop altogether and wait. but they are making 2 trips ... that's not very nice to the accountants and the books!
They can still film portions of the series without her. Its going to be way above the budget now. It would be bad if the series bomb too.
