The 27-year-old Taiwanese goddess Mizuki Lin Xiang has gradually become famous in Southeast Asia for her figure. Recently she even announced that she would come to Hong Kong for a film, which will inevitably be compared with Lin Minchen due to her similar background! However, perhaps Lin Minchen's successive negative news has scared her off. Even if the director has thrown an olive branch to her, Lin Xiang still made it clear that she may not go all out to attack Hong Kong in the short term!

Lin Xiang came to Hong Kong earlier for a week for work on her first Hong Kong Lunar New Year QUEEN OF MAHJONG (MA JEUK NUI WONG JUI NAM JAI), which people can't help but speculate that she is very likely to become "Lin Minchen 2.0". Unfortunately the Malaysian goddess Lin Minchen has been in negative news recently, including not admitting her relationship and being named "Liar Chen" because of her absence, etc., resulting in a decline in her image. Li Xiang naturally considered her to be a precedence, in addition she has yet to clearly grasp the secrets of Cantonese. With her contract issues she understood that she could do it all in one step. For the time being, she has not planned to give up her cheerleading team and other jobs. If she would come to Hong Kong to go all out in the film industry, she would have to wait for the right time.

Once selected as one of the "Top 100 Beauties in the World" by an American movie website, Lin Xiang has a bold and intimate personality, talks about everything, and has not been infected with any princess disease at all. Director Patrick Yip Lim Sum revealed that when he invited her to film in Hong Kong this time, he was also impressed by her approachability. "We didn't know each other at all at first. When I sent her a private message through social platforms, she personally replied to me that night. When she flew to Hong Kong to start work, she did all the hair, make up and costume herself!" Director Yip did not shy away from saying that he hoped to sign a contract with her to work together again, but Lin Xiang said frankly, "Making a movie takes a long time. I have other jobs on hand, so I may not be able to free up the schedule!"

Although getting along well with the cast and the crew while working in Hong Kong, Lin Xiang worried very much about the language problem. "I can't communicate well with everyone. I feel that my language skills are super poor, especially Cantonese is very difficult for me. Sometimes I can't make the sounds no matter what, even when I read everyone's lips; because I don't know how to make the sound!" She even revealed related troubles, "When I rehearsed with other actors, I relied on memorizing key Words to pick up their dialogues. Yet on the set they might improvise a little, so I would be stunned on the spot. I only saw everyone looking back at me silently, only then I realized that it was my turn to say my lines."

Speaking of her acting bug, Lin Xiang said that she also likes acting. Yet being a cheerleader for many years has made her weaknesses easily exposed to others. "Because a cheerleader can just always keep smiling, emotions such as sadness and anger are buried. I feel that I sometimes forget these feelings, until recently I relive my previous experiences and try to feel negative emotions again. It also makes me think about whether I can really fully master acting." However, cheerleading, commercial performances and endorsement work have undeniably earned Lin Xiang the "first pot of gold". She generously revealed that she had bought property in Taiwan earlier. "I have my own little nest, but I have not yet been able to move in. The building is under construction, I believe it will take another two or three years!"

Lin Xiang's recent charm has been unstoppable. In addition to the screen, she also attracted fans on the set! Reportedly she partnered with Carlos Chan Ka Lok and DaDa Chan Jing to form a "triangle relationship" in QUEEN OF MAHJONG (MA JEUK NUI WONG JUI NAM JAI). In the story she played the role of a "new actress" who was about to work with the "Super Popular Best Actor" Ka Lok. The film company was afraid that Ka Lok's exaggerated acting skills would scare Lin Xiang away, so they found a "intimacy instructor" Chan Jing to be responsible for communication and coordination between them on the set. In just a few days of cooperation, Ka Lok praised Lin Xiang endlessly and the team also attracted by her personality. The staff could not help but raise their thumbs when they mentioned Lin Xiang.
