i believe sophron is referring to the common social stigma of foreigners imitating local hk’s and not getting the local lingo and colloquialism right…
we see these examples all the time in films:
hk stars like charlene choi and gigi lai would portray very loveable and bubbly personas, perhaps depicting the idealism of local HK girls...
however, with the likes of zhang ziyi and gong li where they've play serious sexy roles in films would have the perception as of local HK girls...
their professional actress plays to their own right, where hk stars would play the sweet down to earth type (which we all adore)…
and the mainland stars would play the strong female lead type roles (which has its many advantages)…
but when you have an 'outsider' like shu qi trying to take on a local HK roles just doesn't work…
the accent and incorrect pitches doesn't give the same vibe as a local HK girl would…
this then alters our opinion of the person in question with slight discontent
same scenario when jet li and jacky chan tried in the western world
they’ve been stereotyped and type-cast for action films with minimal dialogues
whereas actors such as mark Walberg or brad pitt would deliver the similar action with more lines because they would have more impact in the story line
I say this with the greatest respect as I too have been discriminated the same way…
My cantonese is lousy not to say my mandarin is any better either
But I know I stand out like a tourist and perhaps not treated the same as a local…
And I can relate with sophron with the same disillusion that local girls better in every way
But IMHO, the local girls classes themselves above mainland girls and in the punting world, local girl’s services are incomparable to mainland girls…
My personal experience mainland WG are more accommodating than the local girls…
