Tracy Chu Promoted as Lead Actress

​

With Myolie Wu’s (胡杏兒) expected departure from TVB, the station has been scrambling to promote younger actresses. After TVB executives announced they will place resources in grooming Grace Chan (陳凱琳) and Sisley Choi (蔡思貝), Tracy Chu (朱千雪) is now promoted to lead actress as well.

Becomes First Female Lead in EU: Overtime Mission

Tracy competed in Miss Hong Kong 2012 and was the public’s popular choice for the crown. However, due to TVB’s technical server failures and inability to parse live votes on finals night, Tracy placed as second runner-up, while judges crowned Carat Cheung (張名雅).

Tracy is seen as a promising talent after her performances in The Hippocratic Crush 2 <On Call 36小時 II> and Tomorrow is Another Day <再戰明天>. While the 26-year-old is still relatively inexperienced and has yet to prove that she is capable to carry a series, TVB is ready to promote Tracy given the exodus of more established actresses who are eager to chase the more lucrative Mainland Chinese market.

After Myolie Wu rejected filming EU: Overtime Mission <EU超時任務>, many believed Kate Tsui (徐子珊) would be stepping in. However, producer Lam Chi Wah (林志華) decided to use Tracy in EU: Overtime Mission, which features a relatively fresh cast consisting of Vincent Wong (王浩信) and Moon Lau (劉佩玥).

TVB executive Catherine Tsang (曾勵珍) believes that the police role will help distinguish Tracy apart from other newcomers. Many popular TVB actresses in the late 1990s and 2000s, such as Esther Kwan (關詠荷), Joyce Tang (滕麗名), Ada Choi (蔡少芬), and Niki Chow (周麗淇), received breakthrough performances through police dramas.

Cherishing the opportunity and hoping to follow the successful footsteps of her seniors, Tracy promises to work hard and put in her best efforts.
