Past winners have gone on to work in the entertainment industry (e.g., acting, singing) in China (Hong Kong and mainland), but this is not a guarantee. Most notable is Michelle Ye, who was a TVB actress for six years. Fala Chen is also an actress in TVB now. Nicole Wang is currently located in mainland China for acting.
