Remember when Michelle Ye cinple forum was so active? It was flooded with fans. It was b/c of those fans that I actually had such an intense liking for Michelle. I feel that Michelle has lost a lot of fans over the years. Even her once "die-hard" fans stopped liking her, like Little Purple Bell and a few others I can't really remember their names fully.
I don't really know how her popularity is in HK and China, but it seems like from an internet point of view, she isn't as popular. Which makes me a bit sad. I guess it's because she isn't in the public eye so much. Or is it b/c TVB is the dominating internet sites?
Hopefully once she starts producing more stuff, more people will recognize her and praise her for her charisma, beauty, and acting ability and her fan base would grow even bigger. I can honestly picture her being in an American blockbuster, like Zhang Ziyi
Thank goodness that there are fans like you guys, Rain and others who keep it active. Otherwise I would have no source of news about Michelle. That would be horrible!!!!
So.....THANK YOU!!!!
I don't think I can ever stop liking Michelle. Even if she isn't the best actress, she is my favorite of all time. I love her whole package. She even surpassed my once obsession for another actress.

I think I became her fan when the others are losing interest (I mean at that point of time I started to get to know other fans) so I'm not quite sure how it was last time... Yeah, I think TVB do kinda dominate the promotion etc, which is why some artist never want to leave eventho there is nothing worth staying there, just for that one perk - promotion Michelle is a newbie in the movies and in Media Asia, so she needs lots more recognition before she can gain back the promotion level she got in TVB, even so, look at Miriam and Sammi who are top sisters of Media Asia, the promotion still isn't as *dominating* as TVB's - which also explains why TVB atists have not much free time as compared to other companies... As far as I'm concerned, Michelle is much more popular (in the positive way anyway) in China than in HK since HK tabloids never give her a break - well that is until recently (if she's in HK that is), since it seems real silent I agree shorties703! to love her wholeheartedly is to accept whatever shortcomings she has as well, even if she isn't the best, we love her all the same! And for my case, she's the only actress I've ever loved this much - something I tot impossible for me before I got to know her, I mean loving an idol , an icon we've never met in person, never know her as a person, I just couldn't accept it last time.. but now  |

Rain, I really like how you said it, "...to love her wholeheartedly is to accept whatever shortcomings she has..." Nicely put. Oh, Rain...I bet we would be best friends if we lived around each other....lol ;D
I never thought I could be so obsessed over someone either. She really has won my heart over (cheesy I know).
Every actress goes through phases. Michelle started dressing sexy awhile back, which created so many more Michelle-haters. I guess growing up here in the U.S, I never saw what the fuss was all about. I actually haven't seen anything extreme in awhile. I think her sexiness is classy.

+Shortie703.....I completely know how you feel...... I remembered couple years ago ....every forum I goes to..... Michelle's thread will be flooded with comments and etc...... Now, the only resource I got is this forum and website.....
Thanks goodness that Rain decided to open a website for Michelle or else I don't know where to get update information about my favorite idol.....hihihi
I lost my interest in TVB....ever since Michelle leave TVB.... I haven't watch a TVB series for so long ......now I'm more into Taiwan, Korean and Japanese drama.....Also, anything related to Michelle.

I don't think I'll ever lose interest in TVB. I only watch non-TVB stuff when former TVB actors and actresses are in it...hehe. I'm just use to their style,actors/actreses...right down to the extras.
I like TVB series, but I don't like how they conduct business. I don't know how to put it. But like they play favorites, they keep promoting the same people over and over until I actually get sick of seeing them. Also, they seem petty. For example, when they were promoting Herbalist Manuel, they didn't even ask Michelle to participate. They even took her out during the promo clips...and she was the main female lead!

That is why I dun like TVB at all - putting the degrading quality in their series aside - I totally loathe the way they play their artistes like puppets, they want to rule their world. I mean there's no harm taking control of your company or whatever, but do it with justice! They dont, they control how their artistes should communicate with the media (what to say and what not to say - so which is why sometimes all the artist say is no comment / deny they're dating even if they actually are), how they should be promoted (using negative news / positive news - wic is why some artistes never have negative news at all while some have negative news ALL the time - it is all their 'work'), all those media made up story, half of it is 'permitted' / 'sourced' by TVB I bet. Ok watever, their series are degrading, but still is a certain gap better from other productions, however if it continues it'll be in no time when people start watching other productions. And I do watch korean series as well! I think they've good standards and maintained their consistency! p/s: I must thank all the staffs who've helped me made MYR possible esp Sayuri who's always everready to sacrifice her time and help! Without them, I alone cant bring it to you guys  THANKS YOU GUYS!!! |

*its so quiet here nowadays*  it used to have members posting a few even if not lot... ell, hopefully fans will find their interest back and start liven up the forum.. I don't want this to fall into a deep coma forum and then dies away and then close... (wic seems to be the similar paths of all Michelle's websites / forum in the past |

I don't want that either! Your site is the only English one that is still active. I would cry...I would literally cry if you closed it down. I'll always support you and your site! Hopefully when her series come out we would have more to discuss. I think we just about discussed everything that is possible regarding Michelle thus far so we just need more topics. Also, this is a great site for new fans! You are doing great work and we all appreciate you RAIN!

I still think people are interested in Michelle, I just think they have no place to show it =( I'm an undying Michelle fan and she'll always have my support. If you guys go to the fake myspaces of Michelle's, she still has lots of fans =)

apple juice, it's so funny you mentioned Myspace. I came across a few too, I find it amusing. Almost everything online is so TVB oriented. I can see why some people's "passion" could die down. But if it wasn't for TVB, I would probably never like Michelle (gasp*) But I'll follow Michelle everywhere she goes, not in the stalkish way...haha..but career-wise....i'm sure u got that...lol. |

Actually, Michelle losing those 'bunch' of fans, has some good too, at least now she knows very well that those that are still her fans are really her true fans, those who really like her for who she is, and appreciates her more than ever... hmmm duno if I got my meaning across, anyway, what I mean is rather than having truckloads of fans, not knowing who really supports you sincerely / just for fun (for the kiddie/teenage phase of idol chasing etc), its good to just have loyal, faithful fans who learns about you, and understands you as just you rather than as mang lai kuan or lai seng nam, hehe... Of course it wouldn't hurt to have loads of fans, but its better if those fans are mature enough to love her instead of just blind worshipping... hehe, anyway, that's what I think, and Michelle too is a person who apreciates quality more than quantity! |

Actually Michelle looks as though she is losing fans but she really isn't. I think she doesn't really have any from other countries but I know she has lots of fans in China. There are plenty of forum in chinese that is dedicated to Michelle. Too bad I can' t read chinese or I would have joined all her websites.
I hope this website won't die out because it's the place where I actually understand and get news from Michelle!

I think Michelle's series, Tutor Queen has put her back in HK's radar a bit. Not to mention she has a few movies coming out next year as well. Kinda excited about it actually. So I'm hoping to see an increase in her popularity as well as fans. But I'm glad that the forum has been more active with AWESOME members like you guys. Thanks! Lets support Michelle always |

I do like Michelle still, but its just whenever I watch Central Affairs 1 & 2, I really dislike her mature character.
I prefer her in those innocent, cute & intelligent roles, like Street fighters, Eternal Happiness & Liao Zhai(Which I'm trying to watch in tudou, as the episodes take forever to load.)

Chanel, I kinda know what you mean. I don't like dramatic series, they give me a headache. I tend to get too emotional (pissed off, etc). I like more heartfelt and light-hearted series, so it makes sense that I prefer Michelle to act more of the adorable, humorous, and sweet roles. But whatever character Michelle choose to act in, I'll support her in it. ;D |
