Storm in a Cocoon: Natalie Tong's role requires her to shout frequently

Natalie Tong's (唐詩詠) role in TVB series, Storm in a Cocoon (守業者) was a 'liar girl' and tended to lack of dishonesty. Natalie said "I use to act as a pitiful girl and it is easier to act in such roles. This round, I am portraying as an active girl compared to the usual quiet roles. Thus, I intentionally try to behave active and engage in more conversation before the filming starts. With a good script, so I have to shout frequently for this role."

When asked that she had many scenes with Maggie Shiu (邵美琪) in the series, Natalie expressed that her knowledge did enhance under Maggie's guidance and said "Usually Maggie looks very cool and I do ask her about how to improve in acting skills.
