Sexy Princess of Caldecott, Fiona Xie, surprised
co-actors and media yesterday morning at the lensing ceremony of
MediaCorp's blockbuster Together, when it was announced that she
has pulled out of the drama at the last minute.
Her artiste manager quoted "personal reasons" for Xie's
withdrawal, but cast and production crew later divulged that Xie
has actually previously expressed her worries about the negativity
of the character, and also wondered if she was competent for
it.
While the real reason of Xie's withdrawal has not been divulged,
several speculations have arisen. There are rumours that say she
may have terminated her contract prematurely with MediaCorp and
even leave the local entertainment scene altogether. According to
sources, her contract will only end next year.
It is also said that she has offended a producer and was thus put
in cold storage by the company, resulting in less TV exposure and
thus not being among the Top Ten Most Popular Female Artistes in
the recent Star Awards.
Others say that Xie, who has always prioritized romances, is
pregnant and has to leave showbiz temporarily. However, there are
also some who think that Xie is hoping to develop her career
overseas in the movie industry. She made her debut silver screen
performance with Rule #1, and has recently wrapped up shooting in
the movie Fist of the Dragon last month.
According to a reliable source, Xie has no plans to terminate
her contract with MediaCorp, but is currently working out a new
format for cooperation.
On constant pursuit of Xin.sg reporters, MediaCorp artiste
management cannot emphasize enough that Xie has withdrawn for
"personal reasons" but is unable to comment on the rumour of the
early termination of her contract.
I hope its not mine, the pregnancy I mean.
