Ex-beauty queen signs up with superstar’s firm in HK

KUALA LUMPUR: Miss Chinese International 2003 Rachel Tan Weng Kim hasjust signed a two-year contract with Jackie Chan International. Theartiste management contract will take effect as soon as she gets herfirst movie deal.  “I’m now going to castings and shoots with directors, and meetingpeople associated with the Jackie Chan Group, together with actors likeDaniel Wu (who is also a signee),” said Tan in a phone interview fromHong Kong, where she is presently based.
“We have to do a lot of networking. I remember Daniel telling me thateven he had to wait almost two years (before he got his first moviedeal). So I guess things can’t be rushed.”  
Now that Tan is signed to the JC Group, she gets to see the action star occasionally.
“I’m still scared when I see Jackie Chan. But he’s usually not around,and when he is, he’s never in for more than three minutes.
“We deal mostly with his personal manager and close friend, WillieChan, who happens to be a Malaysian. Because of that, we get alongwell, naturally.”
Tan, who has a master’s degree in Law from Cambridge University, said:“I’m now going for acting classes as well as Mandarin classes in HongKong. I speak Cantonese, so language is not a problem for me.”
The former beauty queen will be back in Malaysia on Oct 26 as a guestjudge at the grand final of the Miss Astro Chinese InternationalPageant 2007.  
The pageant, to be held at Genting International Showroom, will be broadcast live on Astro’s Wah Lai Toi at 8.30pm.
Tan said that should she decide to practise law, it would involve Hong Kong’s banking or financial industries.
