2. MISCELLANEOUS 

* (2013/07/24) The Pang Ho Cheung produced, Chapman To Man Jat, Shawn Yue 
Man Lok and Matthew Chow Hoi Kwong starred SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU 
CHOOK JING) tomorrow will be released tomorrow, but its advanced 
screenings have already made it a hit.  In the film Ah Jat and Chow Hoi 
Kwong were very lucky, in one scene many nude women surround them.  
However actually Ah Jat had no real contact with any woman.  However 
seeing so many naked woman, did Ah Jat and Chow Hoi Kwong have enough 
stamina?  They joked, "What haven't we seen?  Director Mak Wing Lun on 
the other hand was the most excited."

* (2013/07/24) Fala Chen's TVB contract ended and made the jump to the 
silver screen with the film TALES FROM THE DARK 2 (KEI WAN YEH).  She 
became a category III star!  In the film she and Gordon Lam Ka Tung had a 
daring love scene.  The film has been given a category III film rating.
	Fala's fellow "category III star" Lam ka Tung joked that he did 
not mind the film rating because it was not selling sex.  The rating 
came from the horror story line; in the film he had a nude scene.  He 
said, "I am an actor so I wasn't embarrassed.  Fala was very professional 
and performed very naturally."

* (2013/07/24) Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) lately has been busy with his new 
film OVERHEARD 3 (TING FUNG WON FUNG 3).  Earlier around 3PM, he, Sean 
Lau Ching Wan, Alex Fong Chung Shun, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Dominic Lam Ka 
Wa and others shot on location in a Yuen Long village house.  As Ng Yin 
Cho had his make up fixed, he kept smiling at the phone.  Perhaps he was 
on video conference with his wife Lisa S. and their daughter Raven.
	During their break, the guys got together to smoke and chat.  Ng 
Yin Cho also talked with long time father Fong Chung Shun about 
parenthood.  Due to the heat, Lam Ka Tung and Lam Ka Wa removed their 
costumes to cool down.

* (2013/07/24) The Chow Yun Fat and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung starred, Wong 
Jing directed new film FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (DOH SING FUNG WON, 
tentative title) earlier due to inspection issues had to changes its 
production start date again and again.  Yesterday Wong Jing posted a new 
film approval online and excitedly expressed that after 9 months of 
planning the film will finally be able to start production.  During the 
period he wrote eight drafts alone and broke his lifetime draft editing 
record.

* (2013/07/24) The Hung Kuen Grand Master of a generation Lau Kar Leung 
retired from the ring of life and the glory days in the martial arts and 
the film industry, for 20 years he battled cancer to the final moment.  It 
was quite a victory.  Although blood cancer took away Lau Kar Leung, his 
martial art ethics and kung fu film contributions will linger on; have a 
safe journey Master Lau!
	Lau Kar Leung passed away from illness on June 25 at the age of 
76.  Lau Kar Leung's funeral services began yesterday at the Universal 
Funeral Parlor with a Buddhist ceremony and the funeral takes place 
today.  Lau Kar Leung's life was honored and death grieved.  Widow Mary 
Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) as the master's wife at the martial art hall 
decorated venue posed for a group photo with Lau Kar Leung's disciples 
and their disciples to display the funeral services' solemn elegance.  
Yung Jing Jing spent several million to purchase niches in Po Fook Hill 
for Lau Kar Leung's ashes and the funeral hall decoration that resembled  
a luxurious martial art hall in movies.  3 filial lions and 9 plain 
lions from the 9 major martial art styles bidding Lau Kar Leung farewell 
was the grandest in half a century and the highest salute from the 
martial art world to Lau Kar Leung.
	Lau Kar Leung's funeral takes place today at noon with a master 
monk hosted ceremony, then the closing of the coffin.  The remains will 
be transported to the Tung Wah Coffin Home then on a lucky day to be 
cremated in Po Lin Monastery.  Master Lau's coffin was environmentally 
friendly, which was a decision that he discussed with his wife Yung Jing 
Jing.
	Yung Jing Jing and his family yesterday morning arrived at the 
services.  The hall was decorated mainly in white and filled with fresh 
flowers.  The photo was Master Lau's kung fu look from DRUNKEN MONKEY (JUI 
MA LAU).  The Hall's banner said "Grand Master of A Generation", and the 
side elegiac couplets were Hung Kuen formulas.  In the center were floral 
arrangements from Lau Kar Leung's widow and his 7 children.  Yung Jing 
Jing's floral arrangement was white rose formed heart with a note that 
read "lover comrade Lau Kar Leung, from wife Lau Yung Jing Jing".  Inside 
and outside the hall were large television screens that played the Lau Kar 
Leung special, which included film stills, life photos and interviews.  
The score of the special was Master Lau's three favorite songs ALWAYS IN 
MY HEART, THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART and UNCHAINED MELODY.
	Yung Jing Jing wore a special design mourning dress, a wide body 
blacked Chinese dress with a white scarf with the word Lau.  She looked 
extremely frail and her daughters Man Yi and Hung Yi were still very 
heart broken.  Yesterday a public memorial was held as ordinary folks 
came to pay their respect to Master Lau.  An abbot also began the 
scripture recital.
	At 9AM the Lau family's 3 filial lions welcomed the nine plain 
lions that represented the major styles, including Hung Kuen, Bak Mei, 
White Crane, Damo Butterfly, Luoshan Boxing Fung Fo Tong and others.  12 
lions in total arrived at the hall to salute Lau Kar Leung.
	Yung Jing Jing around 4PM in the company of Nat Chan Pak Cheung 
and Lau Kar Leung's disciple Sin Kwok Lam spoke with the press.  She said 
that the funeral arrangements have been very satisfactory.  The hall was 
decorated like a martial art hall in the movies.  She thanked everyone 
for their help.  Yung Jing Jing said that Master Lau's children as well as 
his siblings and relatives were all.  However, Lau Kar Leung's former 
wife was not.
	Did Master have any final wish?  Yung Jing Jing said that Master 
Lau wanted to more charity work.  Thus the Lau Kar Leung charitable fund 
plan will be announced later.  She personally wrote the eulogy in the 
funeral program.  How did she feel?  Yung Jing Jing said that she was 
very calm and hoped to maintain composure as much as possible.  Since 
human is blood and flesh, she still had to remain composed despite her 
sorrow and pain.  When Master Lau's memorial special was played in the 
venue she could not help but break down.  Her daughters also cried until 
their tears ran dry before they stopped.
	Yung Jing Jing said that in the days after Master Lau's passing, 
she and her daughters were very sadden.   The reminders at home made 
them collapse emotionally.  Luckily the nunnery took them in for 3 days, 
as the power of religion calmed their emotions; yet occasionally they 
would still get upset.  Speaking of Andy Lau Tak Wa's "Grand Master Of a 
Generation" calligraphy for the program, she said that Ah Lek suggested 
asking Wa Jai for help.  She knew that Master Lau had quite a connection 
with Wa Jai.  Back then when he invited Wa Jai to make DRUNKEN MASTER 2, 
Wa Jai agreed without discussing money at all.
	She revealed that the coffin used was environmentally friendly, 
the grave goods were simple pajamas and underwear.  Only after the 
cremation would Master's favorite items be included in his grave goods.
	Ah Lek was the funeral committee chair, which Yung Jing Jing had 
to explain clearly to prevent jealousy from others.  She, Ah Lek and 
Master Lau had a little story.  Once Master Lau lost his wallet, 
identifications and cash.  Suddenly Ah Lek called Master Lau and asked if 
he lost his wallet.  Actually in the wallet was Ah Lek's number, the 
person who found it contacted Ah Lek.  At the time Master Lau said the 
wallet had 10,000 in cash, but actually it only had 4,000.  When Ah Lek 
returned the wallet, 10,000 in cash was inside.  Master knew that Ah Lek 
put the money in.  She said that normally she talked with Master about 
life and death.  He said that Ah Lek was trustworthy and he could help 
with the funeral.  Master in the final days did not want to see people, 
but he and Ah Lek met several times.

* (2013/07/24) The Hung Kuen Grand Master of a generation Lau Kar Leung 
passed away.  He loved martial arts, loved movies, and loved his family.  
His wife Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing) continued his spirit as she 
attentively turned the funeral hall into a martial art hall for family 
and friends to recall their past with Master.  Yung Jing Jing as the 
Master's wife led Lau Kar Leung's disciples in a kung fu pose in front 
of the altar as a final salute to Master.
	Lau Kar Leung today bid farewell to the "martial art ring", 
leaving the hot blooded, undying spirit of martial arts and a group of 
martial art successors he cultivated.  As the Master's wife, Yung Jing 
Jing wore a special ordered long black robe with a white scarf with the 
word Lau stitched on it and sat straight in front of the "Grand Master of 
A Generation" banner.  She had no makeup and could not hide her frail 
look.  Despite showing others her reluctance over her beloved husband's 
passing, she still displayed a presence.
	Over 30 Lau Kar Leung disciples posed in kung fu stance in front 
of Master's altar and swore to continue the Grand Master of a 
Generation's kung fu spirit.

* (2013/07/24) Karl Maka is not only a pallbearer today but yesterday 
he also arrived early to "bring light" to the 3 filial lions.  Maka 
recalled "grace" and "causality" with Master Lau.  He said, "Years ago 
when I first arrived from the U.S., Master Lau was my benefactor.  He was 
honorable, had a big brother presence.  He never treated me like an extra 
and stuffed money to me for meals.  He would also take me drinking.  
Later at Cinema City I also invited Master Lau to work together."  Maka 
felt that he and Master Lau knew each other in a previous life.  Lau Kar 
Leung's pallbearers included Financial Secretary Tsang Chun Wa, Karl 
Maka, Yasuaki Kurata, John Chiang Dai Wei, Chi Kuan-chun, Tong Kai, Nat 
Chan Pak Cheung and Shek Chi Bun (Shek Kin's son).

* (2013/07/24) Both sides of the street where the Universal Funeral 
Parlor were decorated with black and white banners with the word "Lau" 
as well as black banners with the words "Grand Master of A Generation" 
and "Honored and Respected".  Almost 100 media members waited outside 
the funeral parlor to cover the vent and the police was on hand to 
maintain order.  Lau Kar Leung's disciples of different nationalities 
and skin colors stood guard outside the hall to provide security, fully 
displaying Lau Kar Leung's Grand Master of A Generation presence.

* (2013/07/24) Lau Kar Leung was in show business for years and made 
many friends.  From the Cantonese era to his final film SEVEN SWORDS 
(CHUT GIM), his over 50 years performance career had no regret.  His 
loyalty won him many friendships.  Yesterday chief disciple Adam Cheng 
Siu Chau and funeral committee chair Nat Chan Pak Cheung arrived early 
for the services.  Paying their respect was not only disciples and those 
of the martial art worlds but also Law Kar Ying and Liza Wang Ming Chuen, 
Petrina Fung Bo Bo and her brother, Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Sharon Kwok Sau 
Wan, Wu Ma, Pai Piao, Karl Maka, Shek Tin, Nancy Sit Ka Yin and others.  
Fung Bo Bo who has worked with Lau Kar Leung many times could not hide 
her sorrow.  When she left she was teary eyed.  Ah Jeh although had to 
run around due to her home burglary, she still came with Law Kar 
Ying to salute Lau Kar Leung for a final time.
	Chan Pak Chung was the Lau Kar Leung funeral committee chair.  He 
said that back then Master Lau made Wong Hung Sau a star, both he and 
Sau Goo respected Master Lau very much.  "Master Lau was very fortunate, 
Mrs. Lau (Yung Jing Jing) has ben great with every aspect of the funeral 
arrangements.  I only did a little.  Was I the person who Master Lau 
named to see before he passed away?  Master Lau didn't have anything 
special he wanted to say.  His 'passing' was very short, but very 
comfortable and peaceful."  What did he learn from Master Lau?  Ah Lek 
said, "I couldn't learn anything!  If I did I would be making kung fu 
films!"  Ah Lek said that Master Lau did not discriminate when he made 
friends, he was open minded and was able to get along with people of any 
age; he valued martial art honor, thus his disciples' respect came from 
within."
	Cheng Siu Chau was Lau Kar Leung's first Hong Kong disciple.  He 
said, "Master treated his disciples very well.  He wouldn't get mad and 
was open to discussions, thus his disciples respected him from their 
hearts."  When Chau Guoon left the funeral parlor he went to see Master, 
who looked very peaceful.  He wished him a safe journey and an even 
better life.  Today Lau Kar Lung's disciples perform a farewell lion 
dance for the funeral.  Chau Guoon admitted that he did not know how to 
lion dance, so he would wave the banner to send Master on his final 
journey.
	Wang Ming Chuen and Law Kar Ying were busy with their home 
burglary but still took time to pay their respect.  Brother Kar Ying 
said that he and Lau Kar Leung were family friends.  After the viewing he 
thought Master Lau went very peacefully.  Brother Kar Ying said, "Last 
month I just had tea with Master Lau.  He even said that he was 
exercising to fight cancer, which was very encouraging to me and Ah Jeh."  
Brother Kar Ying last night felt sorrow and pain when he said the plain 
lions kneeling into the hall, the highest show of respect from the 
martial art world to the Grand Master of a generation.  They said that 
they would remember Master Lau's perseverance and contribution to the 
film industry, martial arts and even life.

* (2013/07/24) Lau Kar Leung was respected in life, so yesterday inside 
and outside the hall were floral arrangements.  Known as the "Thief King", 
Yip Kai Foon also sent one that said, "Dear Mr. Lau Kar Leung, forever 
honored and respected, Yip Kai Foon".  Reportedly, Mary Jean Reimer in 
order to write her DANGEROUS PERSONS column got in contact with Yip Kai 
Foon who was in jail.  In 2003 he was even a witness at her wedding 
ceremony.
	Over 100 year old Uncle Six, Sir Run Run Shaw (Siu Yat Fu), 
without any hesitation sent a floral arrangement along with his wife Mona 
Fong Yat Wa and wrote "Master Kar Leung, Forever Missed". Uncle Six had 
high regards for Lau Kar Leung and made him a director.  His first film 
was already a big hit.
	Among the arrangements Anthony Wong Chau Sun, Chen Kuan-Tai, 
Eddy Ko Hung and others' joint arrangement caught the most attention.  It 
had a sketching of Lau Kar Leung in a kung fu stance that reportedly came 
from Wong Chau Sun's hand.  However due to his play he was unable to pay 
his respect personally.  Pak Suet Sin also sent one in her name Chan Suk 
Leung.
	Others who sent floral arrangements included Financial Secretary 
Tsang Chun Wa, Japanese actor Yasuaki Kurata, Henry Cheng Kar-shun, 
Jackie Chan, Andy Lau Tak Wa, Leon Lai Ming, Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and May 
Law Mei Mei, Jenny Tseng (Yn Nei), Mr. and Mrs. Kent Cheng Juk Si, Mr. 
and Mrs. Albert Yeung Sau Sing and Gillian Chung Yun Tung.

* (2013/07/24) Lau Kar Leung's funeral program was titld GRAND MASTER OF 
A GENERATION LAU KAR LEUNG, with calligraphy from Andy Lau Tak Wa.  The 
cover photo was Master Lau's DRUNKEN MONKY film still, and the back 
cover was a cartoon image of Master Q with the words "Everyone Please" to 
bid family and friends farewell.  Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) and 
her daughters Lau Man Yi and Lau Hung Yi personally wrote eulogies to bid 
farewell to their beloved husband and father.
	Yung Jing Jing in her eulogy wrote that Lau Kar Leung at first 
was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma and only 5 years of life left.  In 
the end he actively fought the cancer for 20 years, losing his life to 
blood cancer in the end.  The battle was considered a victory.  Yung Jing 
Jing's ageless romance with Lau Kar Leung rocked show business.  She 
described Lau Kar Leung as the proof of their love without regret.  
"Without Lau Kar Leung, today's Yung Jing Jing absolutely would not be 
here.  He is my inspiration, my conscience, my beloved, and the proof of 
love 'without regret, to the end' that I has been after my entire life."  
She praised Lau Kar Leung as a good father, accepted her spoiled nature 
and supported her wish fulfillment.  Yung Jing Jing revealed that Lau Kar 
Leung loved to sing "You were always on my mind" to her, now only she is 
left to sing solo for her husband.
	Lau Ka Leung's daughters Lau Man Yi and Lau Hung Yi wrote their 
eulogies in English.  Elder daughter Man Yi said that without her 
father's love and encouragement, today's her would not exist; she also 
praised her father for still practicing kung fu at home despite being 
over 70.  Man Yi finally summed up in Chinese, "Ah Pa, Anpanman, I will 
always love you."
	Younger daughter Hung Yi admitted, "I have never seen a men as 
good as Ah Pa, I believe that I never will."  Man Yi praised Lau Kar 
Leung as the best father in the world and lamented that his father died 
too soon.  They only had 23 years together.  She hoped to be his daughter 
in the next life as well.
	Lau Kar Leung was a famous Hong Kong action director and kung fu 
film director.  Father Lau Chum was a disciple of Wong Fei Hung's 
disciple Lam Sai Wing.  Lau Kar Leung at age 7 studied martial arts with 
his father and was Wong Fei Hung's fourth generation disciple.  He was 
well trained in Hung Kuen and knew Die-Da Chinese medicine.  In 1949 his 
family moved to Hong Kong with his father.  In 1950 through the 
introduction of his master's colleague Ng Jan Chi participated in his 
first film.  In HOW THE YOUNG NORTHEAST HEROES SHATTERED THE LOTUS 
MITILIA (GUAN DONG SIU HUP DAI POR LIN FA JUN) as a child star double 
and stuntman, he and his father participated in the WONG FEI HUNG film 
series together and later gradually stepped onto the road to the Grand 
Master of a generation of the martial art world.

* (2013/07/24) The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored 
Wong Kar Wai's film contribution with a special screening of THE 
GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI) at 7:30PM on July 22nd.  Aside from the 
chair and the board members, the film's lead actress Zhang Ziyi also made 
an appearance and surprised Wong Kar Wai.
	Special screening host Matt Weiner has produced and directed many 
American television series.  He was a Wong Kar Wai super fan and thus 
volunteered to host.  THE GRANDMASTERS will open in the U.S. in August.  
The audience reaction was overwhelming at the special screening.  Jet 
Tone will make a new cut for the American release and add new sound 
effects.

* (2013/07/24) July 21st was Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Carina Lau Ka Ling's 
5th (wood) wedding anniversary.  Ka Ling was working in Greece and Wai 
Jai surprised her when he had roses delivered to her.  Ka Ling was very 
touched.  Lau Ka Ling posted a photo of them smiling and looking in the 
direction.  "Real love is not gazing at each other, but gazing in the 
direction at the same time."
	Meanwhile fellow Five Tiger Felix Wong Yat Wa will celebrate his 
25th silver wedding anniversary (December 7) with Annie Leung Kit Wa with 
something new.  On September 17 they will perform Cantonese Opera Sha in 
the Tin Town Hall to raise fund for the Hong Kong Guide Dogs Association.  
Earlier Wong Yat Wa, Leung Kit Wa and their daughter Adrian Wong Chi

Kin Ping.  Deanna mischievously licks the make up base off his master's 
face.

* (2013/07/23) Pang Ho Cheung's SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING) 
will not open until two days from now, but the film earlier held 4 
advanced screenings to test the water.  They were all sold out.  Last 
weekend many cinemas asked for advanced screenings and late shows.  Last 
Saturday the advanced screenings made HK$420,000 and HK$500,000 on 
Sunday.  Its single day box office was stronger than current releases 
TALES FROM THE DARK (MAI LEI YEH) and BLIND DETECTIVE (MAN TAM).  Now 
with the earlier advanced screenings its cumulative box office already 
had 1.6 million.  We shall see if it will be able to tie VULGARIA (DAI 
JOOK HEI KET)'s 30 million!

* (2013/07/23) Hong Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actress DaDa Chan 
Jing returned to Hong Kong two nights ago from attending the Puchon 
International Fantastic Film Festival in Korea.  Although she ran into 
crazed fans there and was tightly followed throughout her trip, she was 
incredibly excited.  DaDa also revealed that because she had five meals 
a day she rapidly gained six pounds.  Thus she will have to work hard to 
lose the weight for a new film.
	DaDa Chan Jing last Thursday flew to Korea to attend the 17th 
Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival.  Her film HARDCORE COMEDY 
(CHUNG HAU MEI) was selected to be one of the opening films and the 
premiere was sold out.  DaDa could not be more excited.  "Although I 
don't go to Korea all the time, I never guessed that I would have so many 
fans there.  I am really happy to see them showing their support!"
	DaDa is still popular in Korea, some crazed fans even followed 
her everywhere.  DaDa was actually more happy than worried.  "After the 
film festival I stayed in Korea for a few days, I didn't expect fans to 
follow me the entire way.  I never thought that people would recognize 
me.  (Were you scared?)  No, they took photos form afar and they were 
all nice."  DaDa also said that she has already met with Korean 
directors and hoped to have a chance to work together.
	In Korea, DaDa of course pigged out and gained six pounds.  She 
said, "After I won the Hong Kong Film Award I relaxed.  My appetite 
grew.  In Korea I had five full meals everyday, which made me gain six 
pounds.  Even my cup size grew!  However now it is time to get into 
shape, because next month I will work on LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 
3)."

* (2013/07/23) The Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) directed film THE ROOFTOP

children and grandchildren to see his concert.  "I can sing until I am 
80 without any problem, I just don't want young fans to call me Uncle!"

* (2013/07/23) Hung Kuen Grand Master of a generation Lau Kar Leung's 
funeral services will begin today at the Universal Funeral Parlor, with 
the funeral taking place the next day.  Because the hall decoration was 
a big deal, it began a day early.  Yesterday afternoon, the streets 
outside th funeral parlor were already filled with black and white "Lau" 
banners.  Widow Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) yesterday afternoon 
personally supervised the decoration at the funeral parlor and did not 
leave until the evening.
	Reportedly, the hall will be decorated into a martial art hall.  
Fabrics were used to cover the hall's ceramic tiles.  Yesterday 
decorations took place behind closed doors inside the hall.  To prevent 
leaks, workers snuck in and out of the doors.  Lau Kar Leung's disciple 
Sin Kwok Lam was taking charge, pointing around and seemingly preparing 
for the filial lion dance positions.  A truck brought a lot of fabrics.  
Yung Jing Jing posted photos of disciples' disciples decorating the hall.  
Pink silk fabrics were used to coordinate Master Lau's romantic side.
	Lau Kar Leung's photo from DRUNKEN MONKEY was placed in the hall 
with white flowers around it.  The hall was mainly decorated in white, 
with two giant television screens on the sides to play Master Lau's 
memorial special.  Yung Jing Jing asked that condolence money to be 
donated to charity and established a Lau Kar Leung charitable fund.  The 
accounting firm will send workers to register condolence money at the 
venue.  The memorial program will have Andy Lau Tak Wa's "Grand Master of 
A Generation" calligraphy for its cover.  Yung Jing Jing wrote about her 
relationship with Master Lau.
	The funeral services will take place at the Universal Hall.  
Today between 3:30 and 4PM media and public memorial will take place.  
At 5PM a master monk will begin the prayer service until 6:30PM when 
memorial for family and friends will start.  Tomorrow's funeral will be 
closed.  Reportedly today and tomorrow filial lion dances will take 
place.  Today disciples of Lau Kar Leung's colleagues will perform along 
with the nine major styles.  Disciple Sin Kwok Lam said, "The nine major 
styles including Hung Kuen, White Crane, Damo Butterfly and Choy Lee Fut.  
This is a show of respect from friends in the martial art world.  I will 
only be responsible for bringing disciples and their disciples to welcome 
and bid farewell according to martial art world traditions.  I will lead 
the disciples with Hung Kuen salute to welcome the lions and the masters 
of the various styles."  Tomorrow Sin Kwok Lam will dance the filial lion 
dance and led disciples to bid farewell with the three step kneel nine 
step kowtow ceremony and perform a lap around the Universal Funeral 
Parlor.  Adam Cheng Siu Chau will wav the banner to send Lau Kar Leung's 
coffin to the hearse.

release SPECIAL IDENTITY (DUT SHU SUN FUN) in Beijing.  He said that this 
time the martial art choreography will differ from before, as he hoped to 
start a new era of "Yen Kung Fu".
	Speaking of his astronomical salary, Yen Chi Tan said, "Viewers 
likes to watch this type of cheer, how can mine possibly be the highest?  
Everyone keeps talking about my salary now, how come no one ever talks 
about at my lowest when I only had HK$100 in my savings account?  Actors 
would always have rises and falls, salary doesn't mean anything.  Mainly 
they still need substance, whether the viewers recognize your work or 
not."

* (2013/07/22) The Taipei Film Festival two days ago took place in 
Taipei Chung Shan Hall.  Guests included Kwai Lun-Mei, Ko Chen-Tung,

end.

* (2013/07/22) Artist Petrina Fung Bo Bo and Bruce Lee's sister Phoebe 
Lee Chau Yuen two nights ago were guests on an ATV program about Bruce 
Lee.  Fung Bo Bo brought her father Fung Fung's draft to the show, 
claimed that it described how her father launched the superstar of a 
generation Bruce Lee to stardom, and corrected the history in the film 
BRUCE LEE, MY BROTHER.  She said, "I have never worked with Bruce Lee, 
we were of different eras.  I have only worked with his father Lee Hoi 
Chuen."  Recently busy with attending events, Lee Chau Yuen was very 
happy to be able to participate in her brother's commemorative events.

* (2013/07/22) Recently Director Jeff Lau Chun Wai was rumored to be 
interested in directing a sequel to NEW CHINESE ODYSSEY 2.  Outsiders 
speculated about the lead actress choice.  Although viewers still miss 
Athena Chu Yan's character very much, Lau Chun Wai has already denied the 
rumor.  Later people online guessed Shu Qi, Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi and 
Liu Yifei, but Lau Chun Wai's producer yesterday revealed that the film 
would be an online game and not a new movie as rumored.  As for artist 
participation, he said, "It will be a superstar spokesman, but you should 
wait for the official announcement!"

* (2013/07/22) Alex Fong Lik Sun yesterday attended a charity sporting 
event.  He will work on the Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum) directed film 
DELETE OI YUN, in which he will play an Andy Lau Tak Wa fan.  He not only 
will impersonate Wa Jai's expressions and gestures but may also have to 
ride a motorcycle.  "I already have a motorcycle license long ago and 
bought two motorcycles, but I am reluctant to use my own for the shoot."  
Would his girlfriend Stephy Tang Lai Yun worry about how dangerous his 
motorcycle riding was?  Wong Lik Sun said, "I haven't asked her, but Mama 
is very worried and would even be explosively upset."  
	Fong Lik Sun said that property prices are too high and he was 
unable to purchase a home.  He said, "No one says that I have to own a 
home to be able to get married.  Let fate decide!"  As for marriage after 
having a child, Fong Lik Sun also left it up to fate.

* (2013/07/22) Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam)'s 7 year 
relationship came to an end.  Hung Doi Lam earlier said that she was no 
longer in contact with him, erased his phone number and even revealed 
that she had suitors.  Sing Sing yesterday attended ASTRO BOY Broadcast 
50th Anniversary celebration and said that he no longer wanted to reply.  
"It's the past, now it's a new start.  I wish her well."
	Sing Sing is planning to write and direct a film, no lead actress 
has been cast.  Will he ask his former girlfriend Hung Doi Lam to 
perform?  Sing Sing said, "The most important is she has to be suitable."  
Would he want to work with the other three Great Heavenly Kings?  Jacky 
Cheung Hok Yau said that he was interested and wanted to win Best Actor.  
Would he help Hok Yau?  Sing Sing said, "I have a character that is very 
suitable for Hok Yau.  Winning Best Actor needs coordination from a lot 
of areas.  Hok Yau is a good singer and a good actor.  The film will not 
start production until next year at the soonest, but I won't invest.  The 
risk is too great.  I am still a rookie, I don't have the confidence."  
Sing Sing revealed that his manager Siu Mei is also writing a script for 
him to star in.
	Speaking of his friend Julian Cheung Chi Lam's TRIUMPH IN THE 
SKIES II (CHUNG SEUNG WON SIU II) success and having many girls around 
him and many intimate scenes in the series, Sing Sing said, "Isn't 
TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES about airplanes?  Actually it's still good, the most 
important is the audience accepts it."  He said that he could try to play 
a romantic character in movies.
	Sing Sing and Astro Boy made cute poses together for photos.  
Once providing his voice to the film ASTRO BOY, he said, "Astro Boy can 
bring positive energy.  Now Hong Kong people really need positive 
energy."  With his numerous interests like horse and auto racing, when 
would he get a person?  Sing Sing joked, "Right now I have employees to 
raise.  A wife?  For now I wouldn't.  I enjoy being single."

* (2013/07/22) Annie Liu (Lau Sum Yau) yesterday afternoon attended a 
LITTLE PRINCESS SOFIA ROYAL PREP SCHOOL event in a Cinderella look.  
She said, "I can work part time at Disney!  When I was little my favorite 
was playing with Barbie dolls, but I wasn't as fortunate as the children 
now.  They have princess clothes to wear."
	Earlier Sum Yau and Nick Cheung Ka Fai worked on the film MENG 
LAN SUN GUNG in Malaysia and thus she had her first taste of wire work.  
She just finished the film and will soon take a vacation to somewhat with 
the sun and the sand.  She loved sunbathing but she would not get tan.  
She also would not wear a bikini.  Mainly she would enjoy the scenery.  
Would she like to have any romantic encounter?  Lau Sum Yau said, "I 
wouldn't have any because I am going with my mother and family.  Later I 
have to return to Hong Kong to train for a martial art film."

* (2013/07/22) The Emperor Motion Picture YUT GOR YUN DIK MO LUM (THE 
MARTIAL ART WORLD OF ONE PERSON) earlier held its production start 
ceremony.  Boss Albert Yeung Sau Sing led director Teddy Chan Tak Sum, 
actors Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Wang Baoqiang, Charlie Yeung Choi Nei, Alex 
Fong Chung Shun, Bai Bing and Deep Ng Ho Hong to the worship ceremony.  
Yeung Sau Sing celebrated Yen Chi Tan's 50th birthday Saturday in 
advance.  Chan Tak Sum also presented the film's 12 inch figure to him as 
a present, which made Yen Chi Tan rather happy.
	Yen Chi Tan said, "Every year I have a few days that I don't work 
on, my wife's birthday, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.  I definitely 
would stop working on my birthday.  People can't work everyday."  
Reportedly this film will salute the elders of action, Yen Chi Tan 
admitted that he would not have a lot of pressure because of that.  
Mainly he wanted to pay tribute to them from his heart.  In comparison 
self breakthrough would have the most pressure, in addition the idea of 
the salute came from the director.  As a Hong Kong action actor I of 
course couldn't agree more."
	In action scenes with Yeung Choi Nei, did he have to accommodate?  
Yen Chi Tan said, "Whether she has any martial art experience or not, as 
long as she is an actress I would accommodate.  This is the consideration 
and demeanor that a man should have; earlier when I worked with Wai Ying 
Hung on WUXIA I didn't treat her like a man either."
	Yeung Choi Nei pointed out that she played a police officer in 
the film and only needed to use a gun.  She did not need ot fight.  She 
said, "Before hand I went to classes to learn about guns, I hope they are 
helpful to the shoot.  (Did you ask Yen Chi Tan to teach you kung fu?)  
Working together on the shoot is already a lot of fun.  Watching him in 
fight scenes on the set, I was already wowed.  I focused on gun 
practices, to the point that I wouldn't blink when I fire.  (Would you 
have any kiss scene with Yen Chi Tan?)  Our relationship isn't this type 
at all, with (Alex) Fong Chung Shum I have a little romance."
	When Fong Chung Shun and Yeung Choi Nei posed for photos, he had 
a smug look and said that this time finally he was able to hug his 
childhood goddess.
	He joked, "I am 30 something too, the shoot has quite a first 
love feel.  Now all my self confidence is back.  I remember when I first 
got into the business, I worked on a Yeung Choi Nei music video and I was 
the music video lead actor; now she is just as great.  (Has you asked for 
kiss scene?)  Adding a bed scene would be the best, but I am not the 
screen writing.  It's very hard to add!"

* (2013/07/22) The Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum) directed film DELETE 
(DELETE OI YUN) yesterday had a costume fitting.  Leads Wong Cho Nam and 
Ivana Wong Yuen Chi after INBOUND TROUBLES (LO BIU NEI HO YEH!) 
continued their onscreen romance.  Will they have a kiss scene?  Cho Nam 
said that last time he wrote the INBOUND script himself, he did not feel 
right about writing such scenes.  With the film collaboration he had a 
reason to make a kiss scene, because he had to pay to watch it.
	Wong Cho Nam said that he has looked forward to working with 
Michael Hui Koon Man's collaboration.  When he was little he watched THE 
PRIVATE EYES (BOON GUN BAK LEUNG) over 100 times.
	Hui Koon Man has not made a movie in a long time and joked that 
he no longer knew how to act.  He saw Cho Nam's potential due to his 
drama troupe background and its authentic training.  He was a jack of all 
trade, only missing a big hit.  This time he would play a character that 
he has never played before, the same character as Michael Wong Man Tak's.  
He did not recognize all the other new actors.  He has been planning a 
film script for years.  He said that it had many conditions to coordinate 
as he hoped to write a story that no one has ever written before.

* (2013/07/21) Earlier Donnie Yen Chi Tan was rumored to be upset that 
Raymond Wong Pak Ming dumped Wilson Yip Wai Shun in order to make his son 
Edmond Wong Chi Wun the director of IP MAN 3.  The matter after 
clarification has already come to an end.  Yesterday, Wong Chi Wun 
appeared at the Book Fair.  He revealed that he still has not prepared 
to direct a big film and this year he will wed.
	Recently Wong Pak Ming was rumored to be interested in making a 
new film with either Louis Koo Tin Lok or Yen Chi Tan.  Wong Chi Wun 
admitted that a script was being written.  "Chi Tan and I are fine.  If 
he will star, the movie will be packaged with action."

* (2013/07/21) Hung Kuen Grand Master of a generation Lau Kar Leung's 
funeral services will begin on July 23rd at the Universal Funeral Parlor 
with the funeral taking place the next day.  Because Lau Kar Leung asked 
that his funeral to be "respectable", widow Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing 
Jing) has been busy with his affairs for days.  She wanted the funeral to 
be dignified yet grand, money was no longer an object as over 100 people 
were hired.  Adam Cheng Siu Chau was Lau Kar Leung's eldest disciple.  
On the day of the disciple, he would wave the banner to lead the 
disciples to send their Master to the hearse.  Yung Jing Jing since her 
husband's passing has temporarily stopped working until Master Lau's 
"Final Seven" would be taken care of.  He said that Master Lau's funeral 
services will follow traditions exactly, without any omission to avoid 
any regret.
	Yung Jing Jing yesterday held a "Fourth Seven" prayer service 
for Master Lau at the Ling Wan Temple.  Over 160 people participated.  
Aside from the Ling Wan Temple's monks, seven Lamas were also on hand.  
The scale was even grander than the 3 ceremonies earlier.  Yung Jing Jing 
and daughters Man Yi, Hung Yi as well as Master Lau's foreign disciple 
Mark knelt for 1.5 hours during the ceremony.  When the ceremony ended, 
Yung Jing Jing needed help from her daughters to be able to stand again.  
Another disciple Sin Kwok Lam yesterday morning also appeared at the 
Ling Wan Temple.  He had to rush to the rehearsal of the piety lion 
dance for the day of the funeral, then he left early.  Wong Ha Wai also 
attended the service.
	Yung Jing Jing said that this service was particular touching.  
She had to thank director Teddy Chan tak Sum for his help.  "The more 
people participate in the service, the better it is for Master Lau.  I 
worried that I haven't had enough people.  He asked his Buddhism 
disciple friends for help and hired several Lamas to participate.  The 
Ling Wan Temple monks said that Buddhism originated from the same source 
and everyone was praying for Master Lau, thus they welcomed the Lamas to 
participate."  Yung Jing Jing said that Master Lau also received Lamas' 
support in Yonghegong Lama Temple in Beijing.  This was fated.
	The funeral hall decoration will begin on Monday and it will be 
decorated into a martial art hall.  Earlier the announced pallbearer 
included Treasury secretary Tsang Chun Wa, who was a Hung Kuen colleague 
of Master Lau.  The funeral will provide public visitation, Yung Jing 
Jing earlier has already discussed road blocks with the Hung Hom police 
district.  Crowd control will be handled.  On both days of the services 
piety lion dances will be performed.  On the first day masters of the 
nine major styles will be responsible, and on the funeral day Sin Kwok 
Lam has arranged for his disciples' disciples to perform.  Because the 
performance involved kneeling to bid farewell, they have been all bruised 
and scarred from the rehearsals.  Cheng Siu Chau will be responsible for 
waving the banner to send Master Lau Kar Leung to the hearse.
	Yung Jing Jing clarified Master Lau's birth date as it was 
incorrectly listed as September 3 1936 on his identification card.  1937 
was the correct year.  Master Lau was born in the Year of the Ox on the 
third of the Lunar September.  "A lot of information about Master Lau in 
the public is incorrect.  He and his former wife had one son and four 
daughters, but many incorrect versions are online."  In the obituary, 
Master Lau's children from his former marriage and his two daughters with 
Yung Jing Jing, all seven children were listed in detail.

* (2013/07/21) Leo Ku Kui Kei yesterday received Radio Hong Kong's 
invitation to attend a Book Fair to share his creative experience.  Gei 
Jai this year will be busy with record release and film production.  In 
September he will play a cop in his new film.  He joked, "I am not Jackie 
Chan, I am the resourceful type.  I will have gun and action scenes, but 
more scenes with men and no romance."  

* (2013/07/21) Au Kam Tong yesterday attended a forum to commemorate the 
40th anniversary of Bruce Lee's passing.  He was not surprised to hear 
that the Leisure and Cultural Services Department ditched Bruce Lee's 
brother Robert Lee Chun Fai. "The Hong Kong government has always 
operated like this, it doesn't even know that the Tram to the Peak is 
expired.  This is the absurd society that we live in."
	As for the Bruce Lee: Kung Fu, Art and Life exhibit's 5 year run 
at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Au Kam Tong asked everyone to keep an 
open mind about the "temporary housing".  "To the greater good, having a 
permanent Bruce Lee memorial museum will be the heritage of the entire 
city; even without it, Bruce Lee will still always remain in our hearts.  
This year is the 40th anniversary of Bruce Lee('s passing), I feel 
normal without any sense of shock and lost.  I will keep looking for 
information about Bruce Lee.  For example when I went to vacation in 
Seattle, I ran into the owner of a home that Bruce Lee once lived in.  
(The owner) accepted my exclusive interview."

* (2013/07/20) The kung fu director of a generation Lau Kar Leung passed 
away last month.  His funeral will take place on the 23rd at the 
Universal Funeral Parlor.  Reportedly, that day disciples of Lau Kar 
Leung's classmates will perform a filial lion dance and the nine major 
schools including Hung Kuen, Choy Li Fut, and White Crane will send 
lion dancers as well to bid farewell to Lau Kar Leung!  The next day, 
Lau Kar Leung's disciple Sin Kwok Lam will dance the white lion with over 
100 disciples to bid farewell to Master with a third step kowtow nine 
step kneeling ceremony around the Universal Funeral Parlor.  Applications 
have already been sent to the government.

* (2013/07/20) Mainland publication criticized Anthony Wong Chau Sun's 
comment online.  "When you write traditional Chinese characters in China, 
over half the people don't understand them.  Hua Xia Civilization in 
Mainland is already dead."  Chau Sun yesterday replied, "Any further talk 
is promoting me.  I am not against simplified characters, I am against 
eradicating traditional characters!  A normal discussion isn't any 
so-called China Hong Kong conflict.  It's the group of extremists who 
yelled, 'you are English dog' that has conflict with the entire society."

* (2013/07/20) A Mainland site recently conducted a survey of the ten 
most rotten Chinese film of the first half of the year.  They included 
Julian Cheung Chi Lam's BORN TO LOVE YOU, Michelle Chen's BADGES OF FURY 
and Ko Chen-Tung's TINY TIME.  Surprisingly THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI 
JUNG SI) with over 200 million yuan RMB Mainland box office came in 
fifth.  The Andy Lau Tak Wa and Lin Chiling starred SWITCH has been 
controversial since its release and received the most votes as the 
favorite.  Many online claimed that the film made no sense, action fight 
scenes turned into absurdity.  It absolutely was insulting viewers who 
bought tickets for it.
	Lin Chiling with almost 2,000 votes won "Rotten Film Queen".  
"Rotten Film King" was Dior Cheng Yi Kin.  Some online joked that Ekin 
like Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Donnie Yen Chi Tan had "facial paralysis" 
when he acted.  He had no expression.  His SAVING GENERAL YANG 
performance received over 4,000 votes, almost half of the total votes.

* (2013/07/20) The Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) directed and starred film THE 
ROOFTOP two nights ago held its premiere in Kowloon Tong.  Fiona Sit Hoi 
Kei, Alex Fong Lik Sun, Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung, Paco Wong, Emperor boss 
Albert Yeung Sau Sing, Sammy Sum Chun Hin, Oscar Leung Lit Wai, Lu Chen 
as well as almost 200 fans showed their support.  Chow Kit Lun said that 
he has not held an autograph session in Hong Kong for years, this night 
felt like one to him.  He thanked everyone for not forgetting him and 
hoped that fans would support the film.  He looked forward to the film's 
Hong Kong box office to be able to pass his previous direction SECRET 
(BUT NUNG SHUET DIK BEI MUK).  Speaking of the film's Taiwan release 
with less than ideal box office, Chow Kit Lun said, "I too thought it was 
curious.  I was confident but had no certainty.  Taiwan box office needs 
luck.  Taiwan has less theaters and most show Hollywood films, but as 
long as I can live with myself it's OK.  The word of mouth is more 
important than the box office.  I will think about awards later."  Chow 
Kit Lun said that he will continue to work hard on the director road, as 
he still had many subjects that he wanted to make like aliens and UFOs.  
He said, "I wanted to make SECRET Hollywood version, would I ask 
Leonardo (DiCaprio) to play it?  Let me think about it!"  He joked that 
since he has not found an investor it would depend on this films' box 
office.  If the box office would be decent, he would have more money for 
next time.

* (2013/07/20) Fashion designer Eddie Lau Pui Kei released his new book 
and yesterday held a forum at the Book Fair.  He invited Denise Ho Wan Si 
and famous model Liu Juanjuan to be his guests.
	Lau Pui Kei were close friends with late artists Leslie Cheung 
Kwok Wing and Anita Mui Yim Fong.  Yesterday he talked about seeing Gor 
Gor for the last time at the funeral home for the first time.  "Gor Gor 
has always been recognized as the hunk of the generation.  I have known 
him since we were little, I never thought that he was handsome.  When I 
went to the funeral home and saw Gor Gor sleeping there, at that moment 
I finally realized that Cheung Kwok Wing truly was so beautiful that he 
was flawless!"
	Lau Pui Kei said that Gor Gor's face was undamaged.  "He was 
sharply dressed and looked very peaceful, you could feel at that moment 
he was happy.  Although he chose that way, he didn't harm the beauty that 
Heaven gave him."
	When he was speaking of Ah Mui and when the vent played Ah Mui's 
song YEARS FLOW LIKE WATER, Lau Pui Kei and Ho Wan Si shed tears 
sentimentally.  Lau Pui Kei said, "I saw Ho Wan Si presenting incense to 
Ah Mui at the funeral home.  When I saw her eyes I felt that she truly 
loved Ah Mui very much.  Thus when she asked me to make costumes for her 
2006 concert, I used the same fabric that I used for Ah Mui's costume to 
create the continuation of love version."  Ho Wan Si heard and could not 
help but cry.
	Ho Wan Si praised Lau Pui Kei for speaking directly.  "When he 
tells a story, you seem to have returned to the brilliance of the 80s."  
Ho Wan Si has already invited Lau Pui Kei to design costumes for her 
October concert and had to save the surprises for everyone.  Lau Pui Kei 
said, "I know she will perform a concert, but I still haven't found the 
fabric yet!"

* (2013/07/19) After years in the business, Ava Yu Kiu will accept an 
ultimate sexy image in LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3) and become one 
of the lead actresses.  Although Yu Kiu insisted against nudity, she will 
play a wild woman in the film.  Yu Kiu said that the reason she took the 
film was to challenge herself, the salary was secondary!  Did she ask 
her "boyfriend" Adason Lo (Law Lik Wai) before making the film?  She 
said, "I don't need to!"
	Creative singer Yu Kiu recently has been working hard in the film 
industry.  First she played an ugly girl in the film HONG KONG UNDERCOVER 
COP (MANG LUNG DUT GWING), recently she decided to go further with a super 
sexy image to make the film LAN KWAI FONG 3.
	Playing a party animal in her new film, she said that her 
character was very wild.  "My character can be said as the party animal 
of party animals, she would have relationships with men of various 
nationalities.  As for how many, I don't know yet.  Last time at the 
press conference, Bob came over and told me that we had an intimate 
scene.  Only then did I find out he was one of them, everything is 
waiting for director (Wilson) Chin Kwok Wai's arrangement.  (Will you 
have any bottom line in bed scenes?)  No bottom line, as long as it is 
visually pretty the passionate scenes can be made in any way.  I only 
ask for no nudity!  (Will you challenge Liu Yuqi's earlier outdoor sex 
scene?)  As long as it looks pretty it's OK!  Her scenes were very 
pretty."
	This time in LAN KWAI FONG 3, DaDa Chan Jing returns with many 
shapely pseudo models.  Would Yu Kiu feel she was at a disadvantage?  She 
said, "There is always someone better, I am no competition in terms of 
busts.  Instead I hope to attract everyone with the character."  With 
many daring bed scenes in her new film, did Yu Kiu ask her "boyfriend" 
Adason Lo (Law Lik Wai) for permission?  she said, "I don't need to, LAN 
KWAI FONG 3 is a serious movie, just like HONG KONG UNDERCOVER COP."

* (2013/07/19) Simon Yam Tat Wa, Wai Ying Hung, Janice Man Wing Shan, 
Shine and Lam Suet earlier worked on the new film LOST ON A RED MINIBUS 
TO TAI PO (NA YEH LING SUN, NGOR JOR SEUNG LIU WONG GOK HOI WONG DAI BO 
DIK HUNG WAN) wrap scene.  Because the story required it, everyone had 
to wear protective gear in a broken minibus without any air conditioning 
in the heat like a collective "sauna bath"!  As everyone was sweating, 
after every shot they immediately removed their masks to breathe!
	Yam Tat Wa was used to suffering though and said that night was 
the "worst of the pain".  He said, "I have worked on similar scenes in 
34 or 35 degree (Celsius) temperature before, I truly worked until I 
puked.  When I got home I had to take several showers to lower my 
temperature.  Because in this film I play a debt collector, it's pretty 
funny.  Viewers should like this script so none of the suffering 
matters!"
	In addition, Yam Tat Wa said that after he finished all the work 
on hand he would go on vacation with his wife Qi Qi and their daughter.  
He said, "We probably will go to England, Vienna, we have property in 
Vienna, once in awhile we would go and on the way check out some unique 
forests in England.  I can scout locations for the next movie that I will 
direct."

* (2013/07/19) New film industry star Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling in the film 
TALES FROM THE DARK (MAI LEI YEH) worked with Best Actor Tony Leung Ka 
Fai and Kelly Chen Wai Lam.  Cherry played a ghost who committed suicide 
for love, a role with a lot of potential.  Speaking of the white face 
ghost make up, she said that it was not difficult for her at all.  
"Normally I would mess around, even if it's more grotesque I wouldn't 
mind.  The character experienced a teacher student relationship and 
suicide and had a lot of emotions, instead the emotional scenes were more 
difficult."
	Has she run into anything supernatural in real life?  Cherry 
revealed that when she was little she spoke to the air.  Looking back 
her hair was standing at its end.  "Mommy told me that one day I was 
playing with building blocks, suddenly I spoke to the air and ask people 
to play with me.  Grandpa just happened to have a dream, in which she 
saw many children in ragged clothing outside our home.  One of them 
always looked into our home.  Ma thought that those two incidents were 
related!  It was pretty scary!"

* (2013/07/19) Kelvin Kwan Chor Yiu and Michelle Wai Si Nga in the film 
HARDCORE COMEDY (CHUNG HAU MEI) had many scenes together.  Playing a 
"drug addict" in the film, Kwan Chor Yiu always saw Wai Si Nga as a 
goddess.  In the film Kwan Chor Yiu would fantasize about Si Nga and 
sniff tissues that Si Nga has used, which was rather hardcore.  Kwan Chor 
Yiu said, "Because the scene was one straight take, it really was a 
little awkward."  However, Kwan Chor Yiu also had a scene in which he 
and Terence Siufay picked out women at a prostitute's home.  Facing 
almost completely naked actresses, Kwan Chor Yiu said that at first it 
was somewhat embarrassing.  Luckily at the moment when he took his mark 
he was able to get into character and overcome the embarrassment.
	As for becoming a sex fantasy, Si Nga admitted that because she 
had to be present during the shoot she and Kwan Chor Yiu could not hold 
back their laughter.  Si Nga said, "No one has done this type of scene 
before, finally we had to redirect our line of sight to be able to make 
it."

* (2013/07/19) Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin in the film THE MIDAS TOUCH (CHIU 
CUP GAING LEI YUN) played a gold label manager Sister Suen who is madly 
in love with her artist Gao Yunxiang.  She uses every trick in the book 
to scare away women around him.  In one scene Ah Sa observes Gao Yunxiang 
through an one way reflective glass and even pretended to kiss and touch 
him.  Ah Sa gave a high rating to Gao Yunxiang's body.  "His body is 
very fit, I was like a Mr. Fitness judge who is evaluating a contestant." 

* (2013/07/19) YOUNG AND DANGEROUS (GOO WAT JAI) invades the Hong Kong 
Coliseum stage as "Chan Ho Nam" Dior Cheng Yi Kin led "Chicken" Jordan 
Chan Siu Chun, "Tai Tin Yee" Michael Tse Tin Wa, "Big Head" Chin Kar Lok 
and "Pou Pee" Jerry Lam Hiu Fung to three concerts between November 7 and 
9.  They became good friends when they made the YOUNG AND DANGEROUS film 
series.  20 years later, all five have become family men; early this year 
Ekin got married, Chin Kar Lok and Chan Siu Chun became fathers in March 
and July respectively.  They in November will fulfilled their wish of a 
concert reunion, as they will go against tradition and show off their 
bellies instead of muscles.
	They are already excited before the performance as they gathered 
for the concert promotional poster.  They put on tank tops for solo 
photos and put on leather jackets for the shoot.  They also directed each 
other's poses.  Lam Hiu Fung, Siu Chun and Kar Lok shared parenthood 
tips, while Ekin and Tin Wa discussed diving.  They posed for photos as 
they tried to recall the YOUNG AND DANGEROUS theme song and could not 
stop singing.
	The concert idea came from a Chan Siu Chun joke.  At first they 
wanted to create a show for a reunion, but Siu Chun said that he would 
not agree unless it was a Hong Kong Coliseum performance.  Finally they 
landed in the Hong Kong Coliseum.  The guest segment of the concert gave 
them the most headache, as they thought the three hour schedule would not 
be enough.  Ekin said, "We wanted to bring back some of the friends who 
have been in this film series for a reunion.  The guest list hasn't been 
confirmed yet.  Earlier at an event I already invited my onscreen 
girlfriend Shu Qi; the other lover (Gigi) Lai Chi has already retired 
from performance, but she could still attend the show and have fun with 
us.  I hope to invite (Jason) Chu Wing Tong, (Karen) Mok Man Wai, 
(Sandra) Ng Kwan Yu, (Francis) Ng Chun Yu, (Alex) Man Chi Leung and 
(Danny) Lee Sau Yin."
	Lately male singers would often show off their muscles at their 
concerts.  Kar Lok joked, "Thin and six pack abdominal muscles have been 
popular for 20 years already, we will go against tradition and show off 
our bellies."  They pretended to lift up their bellies.  Siu Chun lately 
has been keeping his wife company on his maternity leave and grew a 
little belly.  He immediately supported the idea.  Ekin joked that Siu 
Chun after becoming a father has become "Chan Little Kiss" because 
whenever he was on the phone with his wife Siu Chun had to "kiss" the 
phone.  Kar Lok challenged Ekin to show his belly.  Ekin revealed that 
Kar Lok did not want to lose weight, so he wanted everyone to gain weight.

* (2013/07/18) Taiwan Heavenly King Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) was not only 
busy with his concert tour recently but also with his new film THE 
ROOFTOP's promotion.  The film was released earlier in Taiwan but only 
made NT$3.6 million in Taipei in its first week.  Its total Taiwan box 
office was less than NT$10 million.  Online criticism of THE ROOFTOP 
even pointed out that this film was suspected of plagiarizing the 2007 
Indian film OM SHANTI OM.
	THE ROOFTOP performed less than ideally even in the Mainland.  
After 6 days in release it only made 76.5 million RMB.  This time 
Chairman Chou followed his 2007 directing debut SECRET (BUT NUNG SHUET 
DIK BEI MUK)'s Taiwan national box office champion momentum to direct 
THE ROOFTOP, but so far this film was unable to continue it.
	The film received criticism from viewers and online.  Some 
posted, "Isn't it going to THE ROOFTOP?  It almost fell off?"  "The 
female lead is a cold puppet who escaped from the mental hospital, the 
male lead works hard to play the male lead into bit player double."  
"All those who know how to act and don't know how to act are piled up and 
taken out together."
	In addition, some viewers cited evidence that Chairman Chou's 
film was very similar to the 2007 Indian film OM SHANTI OM.  For example 
the male leads both had to show off their abdominal muscles.  Both male 
leads lovingly stared at the female lead's large scale advertisement.  
THE ROOFTOP will open in Hong Kong in August. Today Chairman Chou will 
come to Hong Kong for the premiere in hopes of saving the box office 
with promotion.

* (2013/07/18) Yesterday Wong Kar Wai and his wife attended the Book 
Fair.  He attended the forum FINDING THE GRANDMASTERS with Taiwan writer 
Chang Dachun and attracted 500 fans.  Some fans even ran to the stage 
before the forum to take photos.  Wong Kar Wai explained the meaning of 
"kung fu".  He said, "People say that doing things require an effort 
(kung fu), which means that doing things require time."

* (2013/07/18) Dior Cheng Yi Kin has always had the hope of bringing the 
friendship of YOUNG AND DANGEROUS (GOO WAT JAI) back to the stage, but 
because everyone have been busy it remained unfulfilled.  Now finally 
Cheng Yi Kin, Jordan Chan Siu Chun, Chin Kar Lok, Michael Tse Tin Wa and 
Jerry Lamb Hiu Fung were able to make room in their schedules in 
conjunction with the Hong Kong Coliseum.  Thus they were able to get 
together for three concerts starting November 7.  Yesterday the concert 
poster was unveiled.  

* (2013/07/18) Shawn Yue Man Lok, Chapman To Man Jat, producer Pang Ho 
Cheung, Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung, Matthew Chow Hoi Kwong, DaDa Chan Jing, 
Susan Shaw Yam Yam and Liu Anqi who was linked to Yue Man Lok in rumors 
two nights ago attended the film SDU SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING) 
premiere.  Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Zhou Xun and Gigi Leung Wing Kei showed 
their support.  Ah Jat and Pang Ho Cheung sang a duet of dirty jokes.  
When Ah Lok was asked whether working with many pretty girls was awkward, 
Ah Lok replied, "No awkwardness, I disappear as soon as the shoot was 
done!"  Ah Jat immediately said, "He passed by in flash, now everyone 
knows his speed.  He truly is honest and real."  Tsang Kwok Cheung 
claimed to be the mightiest as the only person who was successful on the 
expedition.  Ah Jat again joked, "Your timing is mighty, in a state of 
excitement throughout the entire film."
	Pang Ho Cheung led the actors in an ice breaking ceremony to 
symbolize the film breaking VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET)'s box office 
record of HK$32,086,173.  Pang Ho Cheung even promised, "If the box 
office reaches 10 million then they will be like the poster in SDU gear 
and boxers, but without me.  It has to pass 20 million before I will, 
30 million we will wear the top and lose the bottom."  As for 40 million, 
Ah Jat added, "We'll do something for the people."  Pang Ho Cheung said, 
"Do the mule in Kadoorie Farm." 
	However, Ah Lok stated in his interview that he would not 
consider wearing boxers outside until the box office reached 30 million.  
He said, "At most I would wear boxer shorts, not briefs.  Everyone may 
be very happy to see them, but I won't be happy."  Ah Jat joked that Ah 
Lok was just an idol, he had substance.  Thus he would not mind wearing 
briefs to Mongkok for 30 million box office audience appreciation.  No 
hands?  He joked, "That would depend on the person, I don't mind anyone 
good.  Don't make me sound like I am gold, maybe after touching people 
would have to wash their hands.  There may be slingshots, as Angry Birds 
appear in Mongkok."  Ah Jat even joked that Tsang Kwok Cheung's lower 
body could rival his, with more substance than his father Eric Tsang Chi 
Wai.

[ BLAH OF THE WEEK ] Columns, Reviews, Interviews

1. MING PAO DAILY, JULY 21 2013, FILM WORDS
OUTRAGE BEYOND DRAGS ITS FEET

	In July two Hong Kong films BLIND DETECTIVE (MAN TAM) and TALES 
FROM THE DARK (MAI LEI YEH) both captured vivid Hong Kong colors that are 
different from foreign and Mainland films.  Yet are Hong Kongers now 
still enthusiastic about preserving Hong Kong specialties?  It is quite 
a question.  From cinema viewers alone, most would rather pay more to 
support Hollywood brand names long ago.  Only a minority of Hong Kong 
films become surprise hits.  In recent weeks Hollywood zombie film WORLD 
WAR Z and animation MONSTERS UNIVERSITY although are very formulaic and 
not outstanding films.  The latter is particularly childish.  However 
they both have made HK$40 million and left Hong Kong films far behind.  
Obviously American brand names have led to a flock mentality that Hong 
Kong style cannot catch up with.
	BLIND DETECTIVE has Hong Kong brand names Johnnie To Kei Fung, 
Andy Lau Tak Wa, Sammi Cheng Sau Man and others.  Right now it has 
already made over 10 million, which is considered decently.  In the 
Mainland it is charging toward 200 million and exceeds all To Kei Fung's 
film past Mainland box office, which is good news.  TALES FROM THE DARK's 
cast and crew are also well known, the three ghost stories are 
entertaining on their own and blatantly have given up the Mainland 
market.  Yet its Hong Kong take of 5 million is only passable and not 
ideal.  Thus, please do not blame Hong Kong films for concentrating on 
the Mainland market because it is very hard to just rely on Hong Kong 
viewer support alone unless you are playing dirty.  Next week's Hong Kong 
film SDU: SEX DUTIES UNTI (FEI FU CHOOK JING) is a tactical unit "sex" 
comedy.  Reportedly TALES FROM THE DARK 2 (KEI WAN YEH) will also be 
category III rated.
	This week also has two new films from strange directors of Europe 
and Asia, they are I'M SO EXCITED from Spain's Pedro Almodovar and 
OUTRAGE BEYOND from Japan's Takeshi Kitano.  Unfortunately neither is 
quality work and both disappoint me.
	The Takeshi Kitano directed and starred OUTRAGE BEYOND is a 
sequel to OUTRAGE three years ago.  The Japanese mob as usual fights 
within and without.  Takeshi Kitano returns with a vengeance.  Tomokazu 
Miura seized power in the previous film betrays and deserts everyone.  
This film focuses more this time on the bad cop who traverses between the 
lawful and lawless.  Finally he gets his just dessert.  This film's story 
and characters are complicated, but it is all talk and drags its feet.  
Actually both films pale in comparison with Hong Kong films like ELECTION 
(HAK SEH WUI), INFERNAL AFFAIRS (MO GAN DOH), and COLD WAR (HONG JIN).  
Takeshi Kitano's most outstanding bad guy movie remains the early VIOLENT 
COP.  (Two out of five stars)

2. APPLE DAILY, JULY 18 2013, BIG PLANNING
BRUCE LEE'S UNDYING SPIRIT

	The 40th anniversary of Bruce lee's passing will be in two days, 
and history could not help but find him.  Bruce Lee is already no longer 
a superstar of a generation, a famous name in martial art grand masters 
but also a totem that the Chinese people worship to make up for their own 
self pity.  As the nation rises, the more useful this totem has become.  
Of course we have to dissect the source of Bruce Lee's charm.  Aside from 
external factors, his philosophy should be examined as well.  Although 
Bruce Lee is dead, his spirit lives on forever. - FUNG KWOK HONG

Film "Be Yourself, Express Yourself, Believe in Yourself."
	Conceivably no one would dare to question that Bruce Lee is a 
natural born actor.  Born to a performing art family, his father Lee Hoi 
Chuen was one of the four great Cantonese Opera comedian.  At 3 months 
old Bruce Lee already appeared in the Cantonese film GOLDEN GATE GIRL.  
Because of his father, Bruce Lee's childhood was spent in Cantonese Opera 
tents.  With his stage name Little Lee Hoi Chuen and New Lee Hoi Chuen he 
guest starred in several films.  At age 19 he starred in THE KID 
(SAI LO CHEUNG) and received raves, as he was called a genius child star.  
Later he participated in THE THUNDERSTORM and THE ORPHAN (YUN HOI GOO 
HUNG) and his acting received praises.  However, Bruce Lee's silver 
screen charm had to wait until his return to Hong Kong from the U.S.  
When he made four Golden Harvest films THE BIG BOSS, FIST OF FURY, THE 
WAY OF THE DRAGON, ENTER THE DRAGON, it was truly displayed (GAME OF 
DEATH was only partially shot).  That was the level of elevation that 
he obtained through life experience and personal training.
	From logical analysis, these film productions were rather rough.   
Their stories were average, as they either proclaimed that evil could not 
triumph over good and promoted patriotism.  To quote film critic Ngong 
Chi, "very heavy in Righteous Harmony Society flavor."  Yet Bruce Lee's 
posturing before a fight, his trademark style scream or the nose flick 
gesture have all been ingrained into viewers' minds, because he displayed 
the hardcore, actual real kung fu.  Film has become Bruce Lee's personal 
martial art performance.
	In terms of the technique back then, shooting real kung fu scenes 
was rather difficult.  Aside from capturing the shot, the live 
environment had to be kept in mind.  Only by getting everything in one 
take was considered having a presence.  During fight scenes, the shot was 
full body, Bruce lee's punches, kicks, turns, dodges all had to be in the 
shot.  This also became the unique fighting aesthetics of Bruce Lee's 
film, even Hollywood films followed suit.  Bruce Lee was the first person 
who took Hong Kong films international.  After Bruce Lee's death, for 40 
years films continued to salute him.  Even Hollywood director Quentin 
Tarantino had to remember this great man with KILL BILL.  In recent 
years movies about Bruce Lee have been released, unfortunately the leads 
only impersonated the shape but not the spirit.  Ultimately no one could 
replace his stage charm.

Philosophy "Only By Emptying Your Cup Can It Be Filled Again."
	If Bruce Lee is classified as a film star, a martial art 
revolutionary or a patriotic hero, perhaps the master has been dwarfed.  
Millions still worship him because he came up with a philosophy that 
mixed the Chinese with the West and embodied it in life.  He absolutely 
was not "do as I say, not as I do".  From his philosophy filled 
quotations, countless pepole were influenced to think about questions 
like existentialism.  Bruce Lee truly was able to see himself, see Heaven 
and Earth, see all living things.
	Bruce Lee's philosophical studies mainly came from his University 
of Washington philosophy study.  He studied philosophy because he was 
prone to fights as a child.  Although he has won many, he in the end 
never understood the meaning of "victory".  Thus, his university 
professor encouraged him to study philosophy because philosophy was able 
to tell him the truth of life.  Bruce Lee buried himself in philosophy 
books and could not stop himself.  He familiarized himself with books of 
Plato, Descartes, Nietzsche, Aquinas, expanded his world view and sowed 
the seed of independent thinking and rational analysis.  At the same 
time, he also had in depth study of Chinese philosophers like Laozi and 
Zhuangzi.  TAO TE CHING bore metaphysics ideas that mainly went from 
"nothing" to "something", which was drastically different from 
scientific theories.  Bruce Lee took the seemingly opposite ideas of Tao 
study and martial arts, mixed them and created the "way from no way" Jeet 
Kune Do.  Extremely few are able to mix and use Chinese and Western 
philosophies.
	Bruce Lee also used Nietzsche's philosophy of valuing yourself, 
knowing yourself and freeing yourself, thus he always spoke of honestly 
expressing himself.  Thus he was able to freely express his potential, 
self was the real master of life as he absolutely rejected all 
restriction and control.  This type of freedom and liberation Bruce Lee 
not only used on martial arts but also in everyday life.  Everyday he 
was surpassing himself.  He was not afraid of authority, deeply believed 
that tradition was a hindrance that would only get in the way of personal 
growth.
	Bruce Lee's freedom of thinking influence countless younger 
generations.  With a variety of injustice in society now, we march on 
the street in protest.  Isn't it a type of persistence?

Image "Chinese People Are Not The Sick Men of Asia!"
	Before Bruce Lee, the Westerners' impression of Chinese people 
was blurry.  Chinese people who occasionally appeared in film were either 
background characters ABC or heinous villains.  They thought all Chinese 
last name was Wong and kept the Qing Dynasty shaved head image.  This 
obviously neglected the existence of Chinese people and on a certain 
level was racial discrimination.
	As for the historical cause, it had to be traced back to 1840.  
China was defeated in the Opium War and forced into signing an unfair 
agreement.  Later the First Sino-Japanese War and Eight Nation Alliance 
invasion of China erupted, Chinese dignity was nonexistent.  The 
appearance of Bruce Le thoroughly turned around Chinese people's soft 
and impotent image.  He made himself a role model and established a hard 
working, studious, persevering, innovating, daring to challenge, 
unyielding to tyrant spirit for the Chinese people, for Westerners to 
evaluate Chinese culture anew.  Its meaning was even more important than 
the average foreign policy.
	Bruce Lee deeply understood his position, he would rather lose 
the chance to perform than to play characters who were insulting to the 
Chinese.  Even if he was starved to death he refused to yield.  He once 
said, "Many characters requires braids,  No matter how much their 
salaries were I wouldn't agree.  The braid is actually degrading."
	Even though Bruce Lee had an extraordinary charm, he still relied 
on its display on film.  The 1972 release of FIST OF FURY (JING MO MOON) 
was in the right place, at the right time with the right people as it 
solidified his patriotic hero image.  As the China Japan dispute over the 
Diaoyutao Island sovereignty continued without any end, a movie about 
family and national hatred naturally had a melodramatic effect.  The 
story made the Japanese Empire the major villains.  The Bruce Lee played 
Chen Zhen beat the Japanese into a pulp in the Hongkou Dojo, how could 
the audience not intensely cheer?  The line "Chinese people are not the 
sick men of Asia!" still resonates today.
	Unfortunately after the death of Bruce Lee, no Chinese was able 
to succeed his position.  Even today as the nation rose, Chinese in the 
eyes of Westerners remained that Chinese suit, kung fu shoe wearing, 
hopping kung fu kid......

Kung Fu "I would never say I am the best in the world, but I would never 
admit that I am second best."
	Bruce Lee was a natural born martial artist.  At age 7 he studied 
Tai Chi with his father Lee Hoi Chuen.  At age 13 he studied Wing Chun 
with Ip Man.  At age 22 he raised his own "Jun Fan National Art Hall" 
banner in the U.S.  Reportedly he collected over 2,500 martial art books 
and lived up to the name of a martial art maniac.  Bruce Lee excelled in 
the long staff, the short staff, the nunchukus, studied Qi Gong and Ying 
Gong.  Triple Kick Lee and one inch punch were also his unique 
techniques.  Yet, in terms of Bruce Lee's greatest martial art 
achievement was his creation Jeet Kune Do.  Hollywood superstar Steve 
McQueen and director Roman Polanski were among Bruce Lee's disciples.  
Chinese martial arts were profound and deep, every style had its own 
formulas and routines.  Only Bruce Lee was able to set aside the 
difference in style and merged them all for the greater good.  He once 
said, "If you follow tradition, you can only live under its shadow.  You 
understand the old way but not yourself."
	Jeet Kune Do is an actual fighting system that is based on Wing 
Chun, boxing and fencing.  It absorbs the something out of nothing 
philosophy of Taoists.  Simply said, you learn to forget yourself.  
During the fight you coordinate with your enemies' movements, 
subconsciously react momentarily to defeat them with speed, ferocity and 
accuracy.  He also compared martial art to water, feeling that water had 
no shape.  Without routine, it was able to change the world.  Fighting 
did not care of style and seemed to be changing.
	The West has always underestimated Chinese kung fu and thought 
kicks were savage behavior.  Bruce Lee displayed his unique kung fu 
aesthetics and went against their arrogant thinking.  The Oxford English 
Dictionary even added the term kung fu.  Jeet Kune Do also began to serve 
its purpose in the U.S. martial art world.  The rise of Mixed Martial 
Arts in the 90s permitted competitors to use different fighting abilities 
to fight with complete freedom without any restriction until the opponent 
was knocked out (or surrender).
	Jeet Kune Do due to its lack of restrictions made it hard to 
pass on.  Now many studied Jeet Kune Do, but most only imitated Bruce 
Lee's style and movements and overlooked the most important Taoist and 
Zen ideals.  They are unable to make a way from no way, using no limit as 
a limit idea thoroughly.  Perhaps, only a genius like Bruce Lee can 
understand the meaning behind it.

Bruce In the Eyes of His Brother And Fan
	40 years ago on July 20, Bruce Lee left this world.  Robert Lee 
Chun Fai who has seen his brother as his idol since he was little would 
feel particularly sad during this time every year.  Currently in the U.S. 
Lee Chun Fai said, "My brother passed away at such a young age, around 
this time I would always remember my life with him and feel very 
sentimental.  I would recall how funny and happy he looked in front of 
me.  He was a very friendly person.  On the silver screen he looked very 
vicious, but actually he really liked to joke around.  He was a very 
happy person."
	Lee Chun Fai would never forget Bruce Lee's smile, but his most 
memorable moment with Bruce was in 1959 when Bruce Lee was about to go 
to study in the U.S.  He seriously bid farewell to Lee Chun Fai before 
bedtime.  Lee Chun Fai said, "Before going to the U.S., he came over to 
my bed.  At the time I was asleep, he woke me up.  Normally he would be 
very happy and smiled a lot.  That night he very seriously said to me, 
'I am leaving tomorrow, leaving Hong Kong for a place that I am not 
familiar with.' He was a little lost about the future.  Normally he 
would always joke around and laugh and wouldn't tell me stuff like this.  
I would always remember that.  He was very serious, very helpless."
	Actually, in the 50s Bruce Lee originally participated in a 
singing contest.  Lee Chun Fai said, "At the first RTV had a singing 
contest, he participated with our sister Chau Yuen and brother Chung 
Sum.  None of them qualified.  Bruce was eliminated as soon as he 
started.  I still remember listening at home, but I already forgot what 
song Bruce sang."

Hope To Publish Bruce Lee's Art of War
	Aside from Lee Chun Fai, die hard Bruce Lee fan Au Kam Tong also 
said that if he had to sum up Bruce Lee's influence on the later 
generations he would still be talking after three days and nights.  Yet 
one line could already told how important he was.  "He mixed the 
Chinese with the West and was top notch smart.  You can say that never 
before and never again would someone like Bruce Lee appear again."  
Bruce's influence on the later generations are in three areas: kung fu, 
film art and philosophy.  Au Kam Tong added, "Bruce's films have a lot of 
documentations.  he also founded many new production methods.  However 
film was just how he promoted philosophy, kung fu was the same way."  He 
said that all of Bruce Lee's philosophy came from personal experience and 
not from pure imagination.  He said, "If someone turned Bruce's ideas 
into a book, this book would be Bruce's Art of War.  It could be used 
in any business arena like Sun Tzu's Art of War." - DAI CHOI WOON, HO

  A huge success at the Japanese box office, the bloody, outrageous 
  Outrage Beyond is a direct continuation of the first OUTRAGE -- a 
  classic yakuza yarn with the Kitano brand of inventive violence and 
  pitch-black humor.  The more streamlined plot concerns several yakuza 
  clans vying for power while expanding their influences into legitimate 
  businesses.  But in this dog-eat-dog world, even the cops are just as 
  conniving as the criminals.  The named actors clearly relish their
  outsized roles as their characters mete out excessive but satisfying 
  brutality.

  Shanghai, and then persecuted without abiding to proper legal
  procedures. Yet Ying Liang does not take this as the core of the
  narrative, but centers it on the life of Yang Jia’s mother instead, on
  how she strikes to speak for her son while being detained in a mental
  hospital. Subtle yet immensely powerful, the film is triumphed by the
  wrenching performance of Nai An, the regular producer of filmmaker Lou
  Ye. Ying Liang’s direction is exceptionally calm and moving, playing as
  an observer to this ridiculous tragedy that no one will not feel
  harrowed when walking of the cinema. A little gem that bravely gives
  voice to the silenced; judicial transparency is still such a luxury in
  some societies.

  Bobo was told that she could buy a kidney from the Mainland for about
  $60,000 - an enormous sum for a destitute family like Bobo’s. She was

  The bond of brotherhood is always stronger when you can be pitched into
  a life and death situation at any time and the only thing that gets you
  through the inferno is the trust that your brother will have your back.
  The firefighters of Hong Kong’s Pillar Point division who are expecting
  a quiet night to see off their retiring chief find their faith in each

  are ignored and colleagues start to fall. Can the Pillar Point
  brotherhood survive the night, if not the fire, with their trust in
  each other intact?

DURESORI: THE VOICE OF THE EAST (North American Premiere, 2012) 

	Based on a true story, Duresori: The Voice of the East is shot in 
documentary style and tells the story of high school seniors Seul-ki and 
Ah-reum. Like other teenagers, they’re stressing over upcoming college 
entrance exams – and even more so when they’re forced to join the school 
choir in order to fill a remaining requirement. There, their unorthodox 
instructor blends the principles of classic Western music and traditional 
Korean song. Though at first they are reluctant to learn, they soon find 
a love for this exciting blend of music… and are forced to band together 
when the school cancels their annual summer concert. Will their music 
survive?
