Vivian has been away from the movie industry for
13 years until this year, when she will be coming back to be in Ann Hui
On Wah's new film.
After Vivian acted together with Jacky Cheung Hok Yau in Jan Lamb
Hoi Fung's movie "Out of the Blur," it's already been many years
since she's been in a movie.

After Vivian Chow starred in the 1996 short film
"Out of The Blur" which was directed by Jan Lamb Hoi Fung, she
retired from showbiz in late 1997 and went with Joe Ngai Jan to live in
a foreign country. It's been 13 years since Vivian acted in a movie, but
recently she's been attracted to Ann Hui On Wah's romantic comedy film
and will be making a come back. In the movie, Vivian and Sandra Ng Kwan
Yu will have a lesbian relationship, and there's also going to be an intense
kissing scene.
In 1997 during the height of Vivian's career, she announced she wouldn't
be participating in anymore public performances, and did this because
of love. Vivian and Joe then immigrated to Vancouver to live. Just when
everyone thought she was living a happy life like a housewife, nobody
would have anticipated last year's unexpected love turbulance when Joe
got caught kissing university student Miffty Zhang at a bar, and as a
result, Joe announced he was breaking up with Vivian. But they barely
split up for one week before dramatically getting back together again
and announcing that they were getting married. Although Vivian's lifestyle
has been low-key after her marriage, she would often do advertisements
to make extra money, but she hasn't released a new CD or film. Recently,
Vivian has finally been attracted to Ann Hui On Wah's film about a lesbian
relationship. This will be Vivian's first film in 13 years.

business and write articles for magazines, while Vivian would do advertisements

Love isn't distinguished by gender
Vivian hasn't starred in a movie for many years. During the middle
of next month, she will be making a movie again. Reportedly she is also
very nervous and needs to prepare psychologically before she starts work.
This time she agreed to make an exception to star in this film mainly
because she was attracted to the character. In this film, she and Sandra
Ng Kwan Yu have a funny lesbian relationship. For the purpose of the story
line, they will even have a daring kissing scene in bed, and it's reported
that both actresses will go ahead and act boldly with confidence.
Director Ann Hui On Wah hopes her film about a lesbian relationship can
bring out a love message, and to let some of the audience who discriminate
against homosexuality to understand that love is not distinguished by
gender; there is only love or not love. Ann chose to make this film a
romantic comedy, because of business considerations.
The story line of the film talks about Vivian and Sandra originally being
lovers, but they later separated and each found their other half and had
a child. Vivian and William Chan Wai Ting, who acts as her boyfriend in
the film, will even have a daring kissing scene, but finally when they
live together, they discover that they're incompatible with each other,
so they split up. Later, Vivian and Sandra meet in the delivery room,
and their love for each other is on the verge of breaking out. With their
spark of love igniting again, both of them finally discover that they
love each other the most.
Everyone is looking forward to seeing Vivian's first performance in a
lesbian film.
