'If I could turn back the clock, I would not enter showbiz', says Ann Kok

[krafty]

"I would tell the younger Ann Kok to not follow in my footsteps. Don't go into acting. It's good to have dreams, butI feel there's no market in Singapore. I should have pursued something more practical, for example, marketing. Don't join the industry unless you are in Hong Kong or South Korea, which are supportive of the entertainment industry."

Hi there

1. Honest, the hard truth sucks.
2. Some local cmi individual who cannot make it big.
3. Such specimen is equally no match on the streets of hk

Because Singapore got no porn industry to support these unsuccessful actors and actresses. Also, what can you expect from PAP-controlled, monopolized media industry.

She's a chia cha bor and a prima donna. Very difficult to work with. Just ask her co-stars. And she's just a so-so actress.

One reason why the entertainment industry cannot take off is the heavy censorship and top-down approach to everything from cast selection to script writing and even directing. Many themes are proscribed, e.g. drugs, gangs, policemen accepting bribes, corrupt civil servants, gay sex, nudity, co-habitation ... how to make dramas and movies like that? Infernal Affairs could never have passed the censors' scissors at the screenplay stage.

The show industries in sinkieland being fucked up is due to the PAP.. This is what you bunch of sinkie losers vote for..so fucking deal with this shit.

If my memory does not fail me, Ann Kok in her twenties did go to Hong Kong to further her acting career without much success; that's why she returned to Singapore.

I guess in life, there will always be regrets for everybody.

Frankly speaking, I do not believe those people who claim that they have no regrets in their lives. In my opinion, they are liars.

Because in showbiz, there is always someone who has a younger and hotter body which each passing year. The depreciation rate for a female actress is extremely fast when the wrinkles, dry skin, thinning hair and either shrivelling or sagging boobs appear.

she can still attract a lot of bees in Lan Kwee Fong

 

[frenchbriefs]

if u have the talent can still migrate to USA or Hong Kong no?

 

[NanoSpeed]

Didn't Fann Wong make it ?

If she had gone into marketing, she might still have been an insurance or property agent. Anyway, she was given the opportunity to strike it in Hong Kong, but unfortunately for her she didn't make it.

The trick is really to have a powerful agent doing the marketing for you. And it's IMPOSSIBLE not to sleep with bosses or directors if you want to get the big break you are looking for. This is true in show businesses anywhere, maybe except Singapore.

She should go for the Cat 3 movies.

She did. She was given 2nd/3rd stringers roles and she did not make an impact.
She probably hate to sleep with the casting director to get the roles.
She's well known to be yaya when she was 3rd sis in local showbiz.....after she came back she still acting as though she is 3rd sis. Anyways her male co stars suck it up as most get free fuck from her. She is mediacorpse resident promiscuous actress.
