Gillian Chung Yun recently has been promoted the film FANTASTIC WATER BABES (CHOOK SHUI FU YUNG)'s release in the Mainland. Ah Gil, Alex Fong Lik Sun, Stephen Fung Tak Lun and the director appeared on a Hunan Satellite program. She participated in the program taping with a 23 minute performance in which she danced and drew, but it was completely cut from the broadcast two nights ago. Ah Gil's Mainland fans after watching the entire program felt that Ah Gil never appeared on the program. Even scenes in which Siu Fong and Fung Tak Lun mentioned Ah Gil's name were cut. The incident has upset Ah Gil's fans.

Hunan Satellite responded that the cut was not due to pressure from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television or a ban on Ah Gil. The reasons of the cut were unconfirmed but they might be related to content, perhaps whether she spoke well or the program's time limit.

Ah Gil expressed that she has worked very hard as an actor to coordinate with the film promotion but everything else was beyond her control. Ah Gil continued to promote in Wuhan. She said, "The past is already the past, everyone look ahead! I give you positive energy! Love you!"
