Jill Vidal is Set Free and Comes Back to the Movie Scene

The day before, [Oriental Daily] spotted Jill Vidal and Leon Lai's trusted aide and her manager (Joesph Chan) meeting up. Wearing a hat, Jill clearly gotten thinner after a long period of rest. Looks like she's working hard to keep her shape for a comeback. The two had coffee and chatted for an hour before leaving. Reporters went up to Jill and asked for an interview, Jill was stunned and said: "Don't take pictures, I am just going to church!" Then she walked really fast and left.

Joesph Chan said he was discussing a comeback with Jill: "Have to discuss it still, just checking to see if she's ready. (What do you think of her current condition?) She's doing well, today she did not put on any make-up, but she's in a good mood. She's very obedient, telling me that she's done a lot of charity work. (Helping her release an album?) Take it step by step."

It was understood that Jill was invited to take part in a gospel film, Leon also felt that she can try it. First, Joesph was sent out to see how Jill's doing, but both sides does not know whether this collaboration will happen or not. For now, there are two possibilities, either Jill's contract will be terminated, so she can accept jobs on her own or Joseph can continue to be her manager and make arrangements for a full comeback.

According to sources, Jill is currently "set free" during her probation period. She took on the role for a new gospel film (翻生奇兵), other cast members include Sammy Leung and Sharon Chan. The film will start shooting in Ma Wan's Noah's Ark in the next few days.

Her co-star, Sharon Chan had already started shooting for 3 days, although they haven't had any scenes together yet, they still bump into each other daily. Sharon said: "She sits next to me in the make-up room. Though we don't know each other, but she politely greeted me. She was even singing as she put on her make-up, she's in a good mood."

Kelvin Kwan announced his temporary absence from showbiz last February after he and girlfriend Jill Vidal were arrested for alleged possession of marijuana. After self-reflecting for a year, Kelvin is confirmed to make his comeback at the end of next month.

Feeling Nervous
Assistant GM in Universal Music confirmed Kelvin's comeback, he said: "Kelvin is recording new songs already. He will officially return to work at the end of March or beginning of April. He will participate in song writing for his new album. The album is planned to release this summer. The company is confident in Kelvin. (Is he nervous?) Of course, but in the end he still needs to face the audience. It's time to do something. Hope it will be successful this time and will receive support from everyone."

As for Jill, she doesn't seem to have a chance to return to the music industry when boss Leon Lai cleverly implied last year that A Music won't release an album for her.

Leon Lai breaks Jill Vidal's comeback dream

Leon Lai will guest appear in a new film, "Frozen", starring "double Js", Janice Man and Janice Vidal. He is assigned with the role of beggar and he said he won't teach "double Js" how to act, because they have their own talents and ways to express themselves.

Jill Vidal is praised recently by many and Leon was asked whether he will give her a chance, he said, "I told you many times. If your occupation is a special agent, you cannot be an agent anymore once you are exposed. One can work in many different industries like behind-the-scene and sing. But one must be responsible for the thing one did. Some media believe should give one a chance, but some might disagree. Don't talk about whether to make a comeback all the time. Once exposed, there's no turning back."
