2. MISCELLANEOUS 

* (2013/07/31) Louis Koo Tin Lok, Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Gao Yuanyuan, and 
Vic Chou Yu Man starred film DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART 2 (DAN SUN NAM 
NUI) yesterday held a production start ceremony.  Director Johnnie To Kei 
Fung, screen writer Wai Ka Fai, Media Asia boss Peter Lam Kin Ngok 
attended.  Goo Jai and Chin Wa in 2002 worked together on the film DRY 
WOOD FIERCE FIRE (GONG CHAI LIT FOR) and were linked in rumors.  11 years 
later they reunited.  He felt that Chin Wa was already very different.  
"She used to be a happy nut, now she is much more stable and has a 
child."  Speaking of Chin Wa already winning Best Actress, was her acting 
better?  Goo Jai said, "Of course!"  Chin Wa humbly replied, "No one 
should start a word trap, actually I never think too much.  Many people 
were against me making LOVE IN A PUFF (JI MING YU CHUN GIU).  This is 
fate."
	Chin Wa after winning Best Actress did not increase her salary 
rate and left it to her company to get a reasonable rate.  She felt 
getting opportunities was even more important.  "This time I work with 
To Kei Fung for the first time, I am full of curiosity.  I witness that 
he is a good actor, on the set his acting instruction is great.  I would 
laugh every time I would see it.  If by the wrap he hasn't yelled at me, 
it would be an achievement for me."
	Chin Wa revealed that Goo Jai in the film was very lucky as he was 
in a multiple side relationships.  Goo Jai said, "In the last movie two 
guys were after a girl, this time many girls are after one guy.  The 
relationships are complicated and mixed up, Ng Yin Cho (Daniel Wu) will 
guest star."  Would Chin Wa have any passionate scenes?  Goo Jai said, 
"Yes, but when the time for getting close comes, it would always stop 
due  to some reason."  He said that the script had no ending yet.  The 
ending was full of variation.  He had action scenes like climbing a 
building to look for something.
	Gao Yuanyuan was fortunate that she never had nay complicated 
relationship in real life.  She said, "Girls with suitors originally are 
very lucky, but too many complications would be very painful and 
unpleasant."  On the other hand, Chou Yu Man wanted to get luckier.  He 
joked, "I look forward to more girls coming after me!"  In the film he 
played a romantic guy like his own personality, but the other half felt 
that he was rather sensible.

* (2013/07/31) Mandy Lieu starred in the Chip Tsao (To Kit) directed film 
OI. CHUM. MAI. (LOVE. SEEK. MYSTERY) and played a political figure's 
wife who had an affair.  The film had many daring love scenes.  Mandy had 
no stage fright though.  Yesterday she even worked on her first swimsuit 
scene.  To Kit could not help but praise how "hot" she was.
	Mandy yesterday wore her own swimsuit for a swimming pool scene.  
She said, "I have never modeled in a swimsuit show, this time I chose the 
swimsuit.  During the shoot I am not afraid of the team's eyes.  It isn't 
awkward since I started as a model."  For the character, Mandy not only 
displayed all of her femininity but also performed daring love scenes with 
the lead actor.  She challenged her personal bottom line.  "I wore sexy 
underwear and performed a passionate kiss scene for the first time.  
During the shoot the team automatically cleared the set for me.  I wasn't 
embarrassed and let go in my performance.  Unfortunately I was too in 
character, as soon as I got close I torn my co-star's shirt and ripped 
off buttons, had several bad takes.  Even my co-star thought I was 
rough."
	Mandy was pleased with her performance.  To Kit also praised her 
for having acting abilities, looks and figure.  To Kit said, "Mandy's 
performance as an invasive character is great, it is wild enough!  Our 
thinking and our views of the world are the same, we are on the same 
wavelength and the collaboration has been pleasant."

* (2013/07/31) Juno Mak Chun Lung's directing debut RIGOR MORTIS (GEUNG 
SI) will be released in October.  The Toronto Film Festival selected the 
film for its Midnight Madness as he will compete for the new director 
award.  Mak Chun Lung excitedly said, "I am very happy, each actor's age 
and experience are higher than min.  I only perform because they trust 
me.  I am not making a movie for awards, the nomination is a bonus."

* (2013/07/30) Angelina Zhang (Cheung Woon Nga) after making LAN KWAI 
FONG 2 (HEI OI YEH PO 2) and DUE WEST OUR SEX JOURNEY (YUT LO HEUNG SAI) 
got into more gossips as she grew more popular.  She has been rumored 
on numerous occasions to be a full body "clone" and have a less than 
discreet personal life.  Earlier after she blasted her former management 
company for "unfair treatment" and demanded a contract termination, she 
who insisted on "unlimited sexy but no nudity" finally had her fully 
nude photos posted online.
	Yesterday 17 of Angelina's "nude photos" spread like wildfire 
online.  However in the photos her figure and looks were obviously 
different from now, seemingly they were taken before her "re-evolution".  
Yet from her tan skin tone and her waist tattoo, she was definitely 
Angelina.
	Currently working on her new film HONG KONG UNDERCOVER COP (MANG 
LUNG DUT GWING) in Shanghai, she was very surprised to hear about the 
nude photos.  "Huh!  They are online?  I haven't seen them, could you 
describe them?  Are they with just me?"  When reporters told her in 
detail, she said, "OK, they are mine!  This series of photos were taken 
in 2009, at the time I was still a kid, a famous Hong Kong photographer 
friend took them.  I am aboveboard.  The photos weren't ugly.  Since I 
did it I am not afraid of admitting it.  They are artistic photos."  Was 
she worried about the nude photos making people think about indecent 
proposals?  Angelina almost swore, "I graduated from a certain Shandong 
university with a degree in English.  I was a top student, my English is 
great.  With such a high educational background, why do I have to be a 
chicken (prostitute)?  If I was, I don't have to toil as an artist.  My 
success today is accumulated from my step by step effort.  If I was a 
chicken, why would I have to suffer and come to Hong Kong?  Why do I 
still have to take the MTR?"
	Why would the nude photos leak out?  Angelina said with 
certainty, "My former manager, only I, my former manager and the 
photographer had the photos, but I think the photographer probably didn't 
keep those photos.  Before signing with my former manager, I admitted 
that I had nude photos and even handed them to him for half a year.  (Do 
you have proof?)  What proof would I need?"  Speaking of her "grudge" 
with her former management company and its accusation that she has only 
made around 400,000 for the company, not the million that she claimed 
and that she violated her contract by privately taking jobs, she angrily 
explained with profanity, "That xx!  I don't know how to describe him in 
Cantonese!  I had proof that I made money for the company, I want to 
return to Hong Kong and hold a press conference.  You ask him if he dares 
to face me face to face?"  After that she got so upset that she broke 
down.  She then said, "I am not crying because of the nude photos, but 
because I am very insulted.  From the start he never helped me, he only 
helped other female artists."
	Angelina's former management company yesterday said, "The 
company's accounting department has the tax forms and information, I 
have proof.  Justice is in the hearts of the people."  He also said that 
he would not face off with Angelina.  "She is crazy, I won't be crazy 
with her."  At the same time he denied publishing the nude photos.  "Does 
she have any proof?"

* (2013/07/30) Teddy Robin Kwan in the new film TALES FROM THE DARK 2 
(KEI WAN YEH) directed and starred in a segment.  This time he even 
performed a super passionate bed scene with "DUE WEST girl" Aliza Mo 
(Mok Yi Man).  In the story he ran into "prostitute" Mok Yi Man, who 
offered herself to him on the street.  While seeking pleasure in a room 
they got more and more passionate.  He actually opened his mouth and bit 
her chest.  She lay in the bed only in her underwear at his mercy.  The 
scene was both bloody and violent!
	No wonder producer Matthew Tang Hong Keung admitted, "This is the 
most shocking time in my film career, the visual and the concept are very 
daring, so you can imagine how great the pressure was on the actors."  He 
also praised both for leaving their baggage to completely let go.  They 
were rather professional.

* (2013/07/30) Vicki Zhao Wei earlier in a Mainland interview claimed 
that the current Mainland market had three major myths: "Money makes 
master", "Star power comes first" and "flock to plagiarism".  Some were 
so absurd that Zhao Wei did not dare to believe them.  Zhao Wei said that 
during the shoot she encountered investor demands to add some content 
that catered to the mainstream, but Zhao Wei did not compromise.  
Producer Stanley Kwan Kam Peng stated that if not for Zhao Wei having her 
own money, new directors would have already compromised.  Also due to 
star power coming first, the investors once demanded for Zhao Wei to 
perform.  Zhao Wei declined because she was not suitable for the subject.

* (2013/07/30) The "Strongest in the Universe" Donnie Yen Chi Tan and 
Mainland actor Wang Baoqiang in the Emperor new film YUT GOR YUN DIK MO 
LUM played modern martial art masters.  Earlier they appeared in Tai O 
for a chase scene.  Known for his fighting, Yen Chi Tan despite old 
wounds still put a lot of effort into his fight scene.  Wang Baoqiang for 
his river jumping scene ignored the dirty water and just jumped in.  His 
professionalism should be commended.
	The Teddy Chan Tak Sum directed Emperor new film YUT GOR YUN DIK 
MO LUM had Yen Chi Tan as its star and action director.  Chi Tan and 
Mainland actor Wang Baoqiang in the film both played modern martial art 
experts.  They earlier worked on location in Tai O.  That day the Yen Chi 
Tan and Deep Ng Ho Hong who played a cop chased Wang Baoqiang.  On the 
set, before the shoot Chi Tan not only did his warm up exercises but also 
had a massage on his waist from the crew.  Then the fighting scenes 
officially began.
	Was he injured? Chi Tan said, "I have some old injuries and some 
new injuries on my waist, with reporters here of course I have to tough 
it out!  However I performed most of the action scenes myself.  One 
person for two jobs, I am quite a value.  Thus how can anyone possibly 
say that I charged so much!"  H admitted that despite his old wounds he 
still would try to personally perform fight scenes in hopes of making 
them the most realistic.
	Also playing a modern martial art expert Wang Baoqiang appeared 
hobbling with a few scars on his face to add to his weathered impression.  
As for the scars on his hand, Wang Baoqiang lightly said that they were 
from the shoot but were no big deal.  When he jumped into the sewage 
water under the Tai O row houses, he had no stage fright at all and gave 
quite an effort.  When he returned to the boat he immediately cleaned his 
face with clean water.  Even when the director asked him to jump again, 
he still performed as asked and was very professional.
	How did he feel about jumping into the dirty water, Wang Baoqiang 
said, "The water is very salty, the flavor is not bad."  Yen Chi Tan 
joked, "I just peed into the stream, all of us did that."  Everyone 
cracked.
	Wang Baoqiang did not forget to praise Tai O's beautiful 
scenery.  He admitted that for this shoot he will stay in Hong Kong for 
two months, naturally he missed his family.  He said, "I missed my 
children at home."  Why did he not bring his wife to work in Hong Kong 
with him?  He said, "She has been here before, but because the children 
had school they already went back."  Did he exchange any parenthood tips 
with Yen Chi Tan?  Wang Baoqiang said, "Chi Tan is a good father and is 
very responsible, but I too many a responsible person."

* (2013/07/30) The Chow Yun Fat, Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Chapman To 
Man Jat starred FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (DOH SING FUNG WON) two days ago held 
a press conference and began work that night in Cheung Sha Wan in the 
rain.  Director Wong Jing, producer Andrew Lau Wai Kung led Tse Ting 
Fung, To Man Jat, Max Zhang Jun and Hui Siu Hung to shoot at a food 
stall.  Before taking his mark Ting Fung turned into the Grand Master as 
he grabbed Zhang Jun to study martial art.  Before the cameras Ah Jat 
became a human punching bag when Zhang Jun pouring on the beating.  
Brother Jing stressed many time that FROM VEGAS TO MACAU is not GOD OF 
GAMBLERS 4 (DOH SUN 4).  Two nights ago it began with fights.
	In FROM VEGAS TO MACAU Ah Jat and Ting Fung were close like 
brothers, but because the girl Ah Jat liked was upset about his smoking 
and was fond of Ting Fung they began to argue over the girl.  They began 
at the food stall.  Ah Jat angrily chain smoked like a bong.  He even 
started trouble.  When he saw neighbor Zhang Jun passing by, he picked on 
him and picked a fight.
	Not expecting a martial art expert, Ah Jat received a slap from 
Ah Jat and was kicked to the air.  Ting Fung immediately blocked a kick 
for Ah Jat.  The trio shot this fight scene over and over.  Ting Fung 
concentrated on the film production as well as Wing Chun.  Before taking 
his mark he and Zhang Jun practiced and got along very well.
	Reporters asked Ah Jat how many times did Zhang Jun slap him?  He 
joked that earlier when they made THE BOUNTY (YUEN HUNG) he already had a 
taste of Zhang Jun's kung fu.  He played a villain and beat Ah Jat into a 
pulp.  He said that Zhang Jun had techniques for fight scenes and would 
not injure his co-star, but the result was very realistic.  He said that 
although physical contact was inevitable with action scenes, Zhang Jung 
had technique and he was used to suffering.  He joked, "When Zhang Jun 
hit me I was very comfortable, it's like a massage.  He opened up my Ren 
and Du Meridians and I became completely awake!"  Ah Jat also said that 
in the film he had the most scenes with Ting Fung, his scenes with Fat Gor 
would mainly be a major scene and Macau location scenes.

* (2013/07/30) The Grand Master of a generation Lau Kar Leung passed away 
from illness last month.  After his family completed his funeral last 
Wednesday (the 24th), his remains temporarily rested in the Tung Wah 
coffin home.  Lau Kar Lung's coffin yesterday was transported to the Po 
Lin Monastery for cremation.  His widow Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) 
watched the coffin went to the cremator and insisted on watching Master 
Lau turned into smoke.  She collapsed from crying.  At Master Lau's 
funeral, Yung Jing Jing "asked for donation" from Sir Run Run Shaw (Siu 
Yat Fu) when she asked Shaw to give Master Lau his share of the bonus to 
support the establishment of the Lau Kar Leung charity fund.  Yesterday 
she revealed that they have made contact and Shaw needed to have meetings 
before making further decision.  More details will come on Master Lau's 
"final seven" (August 10).  Reporters called Shaw executive Wong Ka Hei 
to ask if they were meeting, he said that for now he had no comment.
	Yesterday around 9AM, dressed in white mourning clothes Yung Jing 
Jing held Lau Kar Leung's spiritual tablet with both hands.  Her 
daughters Man Yi and Hung Yi carried their father's photo and a large 
incense candle respectively and got in the hearse to reach the Po Lin 
Monastery's Hoi Wui Ling Tap Crematorium and Columbarium.  Chief disciple 
Adam Cheng Siu Chau, disciple Sin Kwok Lam followed.  They welcomed the 
coffin from the hearse outside the gates then entered the monastery for 
the ceremony.  The coffin was sent into the cremator.  The abbot 
consulted Yung Jing Jing to confirmed that the coffin was placed 
properly.
	The workers cleared the venue to conduct the ceremony as the 
media waited outside.  Around 12PM, Yung Jing Jing spoke to the press 
with Sin Kwok Lam and Cheng Siu Chau.  She said, "Thank you everyone for 
sending Master on his final journey here.  Today the weather is great, no 
rain.  You can say it is perfect as Master Lau's cremation process is 
completed.  Thank you Po Lin Monastery and the abbot for the most 
complete end for a Buddhist.  Master Lau was honored and mourned, we will 
always remember him.  Two disciples have opened up halls to instruct kung 
fu, Mark and Sin Kwok Lam will continue to spread Master Lau's Chinese 
kung fu and Hong Kong film.  I will temporarily serve as the head for 
awhile, when the time is right they will take over."
	As for the progress of the Shaw bonus, Yung Jing Jing said, "I 
have to maintain the Eight Precepts, so the less I talk the better it is.  
I have spoken with them once over the phone, they said that they had to 
have meetings to make a decision.  Give them a little time!  Maybe wait 
until Master's seven seven forty ninth day, August 10, for more details."  
Sin Kwok Lam added that the "head" Si Mo referred to meant head of the 
family.  Disciples will always treat Si Mo like the head of the family.
	Yung Jing Jing revealed that famous metaphysics expert Cai Bo Lai 
was Master Lau's good friend and calculated that the soonest would be the 
end of the year before the ashes could be placed in Po Fook Hill.  
"Master Lau's tombstone was being made.  Hopefully it will merge kung fu 
and film elements.  In addition the (Andy) Lau Tak Wa's 'Grand Master of 
A Generation' calligraphy will be hand carved.  However Hong Kong lacked 
such resources in this area, it might have to been done in the Mainland.  
The photo will be shadow carved for a 3D effect."
	After the interview, the monastery opened for media pictures.  
Master Lau's photo was next to the cremator.  On the other side 12 plain 
lions lined up for cremation.  In the pavilion Yung Jing Jing saw the 
smoke from the cremator and shed tears sentimentally.  Sin Kwok Lam 
invited Yung Jing Jing to lead everyone to lunch.  Yung Jing Jing, "I 
won't go, I don't want to eat, I want to stay here to keep him company!"  
She could not hold back her tears as she buried her head in her hands and 
cried.  Later holding back her tears she bid reporters farewell, "I am 
fine, you can go!"

* (2013/07/30) The Tsui Hark directed 3D film YOUNG DETECTIVE DEE: RISE 
OF THE SEA DRAGON (DIK YUN KIT ji SUN DOH LUNG WONG) will be released in 
the Mainland on September 28.  Many posters have been unveiled.  Playing 
Wu Zetian, Carina Lau Ka Ling, Mark Chao (Chiu Yau Ting), Angelababy 
Yeung Wing are submerged in the water with half of their faces in it.  
Lau Ka Ling is fully dominating.  The 47 second trailer displayed the 
moment when an unknown force wiped out the Tang Navy.
	Ka Ling earlier posted a photo in Tiannanmen Square and wrote, "I 
am finally here!  The east is red, the sun in my heart!"  She was 
blasted online for being brain dead.  Yesterday sh wrote online, "Thank 
you everyone who has been friendly to me, for making me understand the 
joy that kindness give to people.  Thank you everyone who has given me a 
hard tim, for making me understand how much impact unintentionally 
hurting people brings.  Everything that happens in life is not  
coincident, I am grateful for the arrival of everything."

* (2013/07/30) Karena Ng Chin Yu yesterday attended a Macau shopping 
center event.  Earlier reportedly she ran into metaphysics expert Mak 
Ling Ling on a flight.  She predicted that if she does not wed this year 
she will break up.  Chin Yu denied that, "I indeed ran into Master Mak 
Ling Ling on the plane, but we just chatted casually.  I never knew 
anything about fate and didn't deliberately ask her.  (Do you plan to 
wed?)  I haven't had such a plan yet.  (Have you discussed this with 
Raymond Lam Fung?)  We don't have such a plan, for now career comes 
first.  The Lunar New Year film for the end of the year will soon start 
production.  Work is starting to get busy."
	TVB's Lunar New Year film this year, FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (DOH 
SING FUNG WON), starred Chow Yun Fat and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung.  Was 
Chin Yu worried about the box office threat for Raymond Wong Pak Ming's 
Lunar New Year film?  She said, "The box office is beyond what an actor 
can worry about, but as soon as I think of being able to work with the 
Lunar New Year film team I feel very happy.  Because everyone is a lot of 
fun, we are like a family."

* (2013/07/30) Wong Cho Nam's new film THE MIDAS TOUCH (CHIU CUP GAING 
LEI YUN) will soon open.  In the film he is rich.  In one scene he went 
topless into the swimming pool to cheer up 8 pseudo models.
	The always funny Cho Nam made a variety of "seductive" poses to 
display his masculinity and attract pseudo models; he used all his 
strength to suck in his gut.  Already thin he displayed his ribs.  With 
an expression that was more chok than Raymond Lam Fung, pseudo models 
laughed so hard that they almost could not work.
	Cho Nam joked that this scene was quite sad.  "As soon as 
everyone saw me they just kept laughing.  Imagine if Gum Sing Mo (Takeshi 
Kaneshiro) did the same move, the ladies' reaction probably would b 
'how cool'!"

* (2013/07/29) The Chip Tsao (To Kit) directed, Tsui Tin Yau and Joy 
Sing Long Hei starred OI. CHUM. MAI (LOVE. SEEK. MYSTERY) three nights 
ago shot on location in Causeway Bay.  On the way the Polish Consulate 
General visited the set.  Actually Poland sponsored some amber jewelry to 
the production.  Thus when the Polish Hong Kong Consulate General to 
visit the set, To Kit enthusiastically greeted him and met with him in a 
nearby hotel.  
	OI is an authentic Hong Kong film about Hong Kong people's 
concerns, fabrication, desire and suppression about life.  To Kit said, 
"Now Hong Kong people have too much pressure!  Without real universal 
suffrage, mediocre officials are refusing to leave office.  Thus I want 
to make a story about Hong Kong people.  As for the film's love scenes 
they are revealing but not to the bone.  This morning Tsui Tin Yau and 
Sing Long Hei worked on a bed scene, but it wasn't considered too 
revealing.  I hope it would be suitable for female viewers as well.  
However I have to particularly thank new comer Sing Long Hei, her acting 
was top notch in the bed scene.  Because the bed scene was shot with 
inhibition, they had a lot of emotional scenes.  Luckily she was able to 
grasp it."
	Tsui Tin Yau in the film played a Chinese departure lecturer 
with depression.  For this movie he did a lot of research.  Tin Yau said, 
"I feel this character has a lot of room for development, the love scenes 
ar shot with a lot of inhibition, but I don't have to show too much."  
To Kit named the 23 year old Sing Long Hei to the lead actress.  Would 
she feel embarrassed with bed scene?  She said, "When I got the script, 
I don't know who the co-star would be.  Later I saw Tin Yau.  He kept 
teaching me about acting.  In addition he first day of work wasn't a bed 
scene, it waited until we became familiar.  The emotional performance 
was better!"

* (2013/07/29) Singer Jason Chan Pak Yu yesterday attended autograph 
and performance session.  Jason revealed that his voice was hoarse due to 
illness and he had to take antibiotics for a few days.  Jason also said 
that he is planning his year end concert and record.
	With a part in LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3), Jason was asked 
about pseudo models' wardrobe malfunction during the audition.  He said, 
"Luckily they wouldn't be my co-stars, I would be afraid of being taken 
advantage of!"  Was he worried that his girlfriend would be jealous?  He 
said, "I am!  However I am alert, people don't get close to me easily.  I 
would keep my distance!"

* (2013/07/29) Donnie Yen Chi Tan two days ago celebrated his birthday.  
His wife Cissy Wang three nights ago held a large scale nostalgia party 
for him.  His friends showed up to congratulate him.  Yen Chi Tan last 
night publicly thanked his wife online.  "Thank you Mrs. Yen for spending 
weeks to arrange for this dream party, I also thank all the good friends 
who came and spent this crazy night with me.  I am too happy!  Thank you!  
Here I also have to thank the good friends who were unable to attend but 
sent me well wishes!  As well as many, many fans who congratulated me, 
you are the greatest!"  Yen Chi Tan's new film production also prepared a 
cake for him and sang the happy birthday to celebrate.

* (2013/07/29) Chow Yun Fat and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung yesterday 
announced their participation in the TVB Lunar New Year film.  The 
Hollywood superstar Fat Gor returned home to go to war for TVB and 
received the star treatment.  Director Wong Jing even revealed that he 
charged his Hollywood film rate for a Hong Kong film.  Reportedly, Fat 
Gor's Hollywood rate was US$8 million.  During the event, Fat Gor and his 
first time co-star Ting Fung joked around.  He said that he received care 
from Patrick Tse Yin and Deborah Li, so he had to return the favorite and 
"pick on" Ting Fung.
	Chow Yun Fat, Tse Ting Fung, Chapman To Man Jat will star in the 
TVB invested 2014 Lunar New Year film FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (DOH SING FUNG 
WON, tentative title).  Yesterday the film held a press conference in 
Television City.  Director Wong Jing, producer Andrew Lau Wai Keung, 
actors Hui Siu Hung, Max Zhang Jun, Philip Ng Won Lung, Sammy Sum Chun 
Hin, Jing Tian, Natalie Meng Yao, Tong Fei, Yuki Cheng Ni attended.  Fat 
Gor appeared with Fat Soh and received a star treatment, with security 
making way for him and protecting him.  However he remained friendly as 
usual, shaking hands and greeting with former TVB colleagues as he passed 
by.  Fat Gor said that he and Ting Fung both have not eaten for months to 
slim down.  Although the film had the words DOH SING (gambling city) it 
actually will be a police film.  To Man Jat will provide the comedy, Ting 
Fung the action, he will just perform.  It will not have andy shade of 
his old film GOD OF GAMBLERS (DOH SUN).
	Fat Gor has not worked on a Lunar New Year film and a Hong Kong 
film for a long time.  He lamented, "Ting Fung is so big already, 
married with children."  Ting Fung said, "I am divorced!"  Fat Gor joked, 
"I didn't know, sorry.  You divorce sooner than me!"  Ting Fung joked 
that he felt like he was stabbed. 
	Ting Fung was very honored to work with Fat Gor, which was his 
dream.  Fat Gor joked, "Your Old Man and Old Ma used to take care of me 
alot, this time I am returning the favor.  Let's how I will 'pick on' 
him."  Did he take the role for an astronomical sum?  Fat Gor said, 
"Don't ask me, ask Mrs. Chow!"  Director Wong Jing revealed that when 
working with Fat Gor, salary and conditions all matched his Hollywood 
contracts.  Fat Gor's Hollywood film salary has been rumored to be US$8 
million.
	Fat Gor described his first time in Television City as returning 
to his home field.  Recently he has been watching TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2 
(CHUNG SEUNG WON SIU 2):  "(Francis) Ng Chun Yu, Cheung Chi Lam both have 
a lot of flavors, they are my idols; (Kenneth) Ma Kwok Ming is a bad boy, 
with so many girlfriends; (Myolie Wu) Hung Yi is very tough with her 
brother, like she is trying to kill him!"  Would he be interested in 
TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 3?  Fat Gor joked, "Yes, I definitely have to play 
a captain, the manager inside the cabin, the type that arranges for table 
for two.  However I am afraid that I wouldn't be tough enough to make a 
series."  He also praised KARMA RIDER (SI FU MING BAK LIU)'s Priscilla 
Wong Chui Yu for her good performance.  As for Ricky Wong Wai Kay's 
application for a free television broadcast license, Fat Gor said, 
"Seemingly the government already promised it in the last term, this 
term the government hasn't issued a license to him?  Later he definitely 
will receive on.  More television stations are good for more programs."
	To Man Jat's salary will be double of when he made Raymond Wong 
Pak Ming's Lunar New Year film.  He joked that aside from "pumping 
water", he will also study photography with Fat Gor and Wing Chun with 
Ting Fung.  He said, "I hope the film will be finished by October, then I 
will work on NAKED AMBITION 2 (HO CHING 2).  In that film I will work 
with over 100 adult video actresses.  They are used to making category IV 
films and don't understand why Hong Kong makes a category III one.  They 
even want to invite me to rehearse in Japan and teach positioning.  If in 
the end I really have to do it for real, I wouldn't mind.  However I would 
have to ask the Old Lady first."

* (2013/07/29) Chow Yun Fat and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung's parents Patrick

while Lai Goo played Ching Yat Lung (Shek Kin)'s mistress Lui Yan, who 
also had an affair with Siu Wa Shan.  Back then Lui Yan shooting Siu Wa 
Shan was the climatic scene, which became a classic television scene.

was reluctant but finally answered, "After the break up I have been 
single, I also rather enjoy the single life."  Sing Sing was very excited 
to discuss work.  He revealed that in his September suspense action film

her film KICK ASS GIRLS (BAU 3 CHIU GIU WA).  Cheuk Wan Chi and DaDa 
Chan Jing asked how she crashed and bled uncontrollably, which left her 
not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.  Because her toe was still 
swollen, Chau Sau Na was unable to wear high heels yet.  Her manager said 
that because Chau Sau Na's toe was venerable, her action scene for a 
television series later in Beijing would be postponed so she would be 
able to recover.

* (2013/07/28) Donnie Yen Chi Tan two nights ago held a 50th birthday

Chun Yu joked that she forced her husband Peter Chan Ho Sun and an art 
director to help her with her TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES (CHUNG SEUNG WON SIU) 
retro flight attendant look; "I asked an art director friend to put 
something together in the prop and costume storage.  The bag actually was 
my daughter's birthday present.  I remembered that she had this bag and 
immediately called the sister at home to bring it to me."
	What if Chan Ho Sun asked her to wear the flight attendant 
uniform at home everyday?  Kwan Yu laughed and said, "That would be bad!  
I originally wanted to play a female Lui Kei, but I couldn't find a 
shrunken suit; I wanted to put on the ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW (SHUI YUET 
SUN TAU) costume but it was already gone."  Chan Ho Sun two nights ago 
went to the party as soon as he got off the plane.
	Real Ting Chi Ko and Julian Hsu put on fake mustaches to play 
Ting Lik.  Ting Chi Ko posted their photo with the official version Ting 
Like Ray Lui Leung Wai.  Miriam Yeung Chin Wa even joked that she thought

hand holding couple figures.  Michelle Chen two nights ago flew all over 
the event and posted many photos.
	Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) yesterday morning flew to Inner 
Mongolia for a show and left the party early.  "After putting on the Ip 
Man costume I realized that he was a 40s person, I messed up!  Later I 
wanted to change into THE BUND but it wasn't the 60s either.  Luckily the 
Chinese long gown was around in any era."  Siu Chai revealed that Yen Chi 
Tan's daughter Yen Chai Yu performed an English song.  "Lord Tan's 
daughter sang very well!  I told Boss (Peter Lam Kin Ngok) to sign her!"

husband Yen Chi Tan in a Central restaurant, the theme was the 60s.  The 
background board was a Yen Chi Tan kung fu cartoon.
	Around 8PM, Yen Chi Tan appeared in a tight green floral shirt, 
white bell bottom pants and platform shoes.  He even wore sunglasses and 
thick gold chains, as well as wielding nunchukus and making a Bruce Lee 
pose.  Yen Chi Tan said, "My wife didn't tell me about the party until 
the last minute, but I expected her to give me a surprise and was 
mentally prepared.  What more could be said about the Old Lady, she 
really adores me!"  Then he gave a loving kiss on his wife's cheek.
	Cissy Wang was asked about her gift.  She took out a mobile 
phone to display the Donnie's App that has been in planning for a year.  
She even took a self picture with her husband to demonstrate its use.  She 
said that it enabled Yen Chi Tan to interact with his fans.  Cissy Wang 
prepared chocolate and a mobile phone charge with the word "Tan" for the 
media.  As for whether it was his own brand, Yen Chi Tan said, "Old Lady 
is very attentive, she will do charity work with the product.  My 
birthday wish is for the world and Hong Kong economy to be well and have 
more joy."  Cissy Wang even revealed that their children would give a 
surprise to their father at the party.  Willie Chan Chi Kung gave a

law appeared.  Rumored to have a difference of opinion over IP MAN 3 with 
Yen Chi Tan, he said, "Our relationship never changed.  We have known 
each other for years.  We don't need to dispel rumors, they are just for 
laughs."  He said that next year as long as they will be able to 
coordinate their schedules, IP MAN 3 will definitely be made with Yen Chi 
Tan and no one else.  As for whether he was planning a Wisely movie, Wong 
Pak Ming said, "It's too soon to tell, let's wait until my son finishes 
the script.  It still has to be cast."
	Ray Lui Leung Wai and his wife Yang Xiaojuan, Qi Qi, Shirley 
Cheung Yuk Shan and others came to congratulate him.  Richie Jen (Yam Yin 
Chai) appeared in an Ip Man look, but Ip Man was not in the 60s.  Stephen

the Swiss wrist watch brand DOXA and two nights ago its latest ad 
campaign was shown at the Ocean Park aquarium.  Currently working on 
OVERHEARD 3 (SIT TING FUNG WON 3) until mid August, Fong Chung Shun then 
had to make two other films.  Due to scheduling issue he missed the 
chance to work with John Woo (Ng Yu Sum).  "Due to a schedule clash I 
very regrettably cannot make Ng Yu Sum's THE CROSSING (TAI PING LUN).  I 
only hope the next time he will have another chance.  TVB originally 
asked me to make a new series with (Michael) Miu Kiu Wai in August, I 
won't have time just the same."

cinemas for audience appreciation.  So far they have already visited over 
50 shows.
	Pang Ho Cheung was very happy to learn about the over 4.1 million 
box office, proving that the general public needs the crazy comedy genre 
because everyone's lives are filled with pressure.  To Man Jat excitedly 
said, "The credit belongs to all the workers.  Hopefully every year we 
will be able to make such a crazy comedy that truly belongs to Hong Kong 
people's authentic culture."  Yue Man Lok hoped the performance would be 
good enough for a sequel or even a third film.

* (2013/07/26) The film DUE WEST: OUR SEX JOURNEY (YUT LO HEUNG SAI)'s 
director Mark Wu Yiu Fai directed and starred new film HONG KONG 
UNDERCOVER COP (MANG LUNG DUT GWING) two nights ago appeared at the Kai 
Yip Estate food stall in Kowloon Bay with Ava Yu Kiu, Tin Kai Man and 
Mainland fighting champion and new comer Tiger Yang Jianping.  Yu Kiu 
appeared in a floral tank top and hot pants and stood out.  Director Wu 
Yiu Fai kept instructing Yang Jianping.  Because he had no acting 
experience at all, the director put a lot of efforts into instructing 
him.  In the film Yang Jianping plays a killer who is after Ronald Cheng 
Chung Kei.

* (2013/07/26) This year is the 10th anniversary of Anita Mui Yim Fong's 
passing.  Sister Mui's friends and disciples hoped to remember Sister 
Mui with a charity memorial concert.  Reportedly Sister Mui's "brothers" 
Alan Tam Wing Lun, Eric Tsang Chi Wai and Nat Chan Pak Cheung will take 
the lead, even Jacky Cheung Hok Yau, the husband of Sister Mui's 
godsister May Lo (Law Mei Mei), would help out.
	As for Sister Mui's disciples like Denise Ho Wan Si, the 
Grasshoppers, Andy Hui Chi On and others wanted to do their part for 
their mentor.  Since they still have time from the actual anniversary 
of December 30, they now begin to discuss the viability.  However Sister 
Mui will clash with Joey Yung Cho Chi Yi's concert dates at the Hong Kong 
Coliseum, so Sister Mui's memorial show will not take place there.

* (2013/07/26) Shawn Yue Man Lok and Matthew Chow Hoi Kwong earlier spoke 
with Helen To Yu Fung on Satellite Television and were asked if they had 
any experience with prostitutes.  Lok Jai laughed and said, "I am so 
handsome do I have such a need?"  Chow Hoi Kwong said that he definitely 
has more girlfriends than Lok Jai, but Lok Jai's girlfriend quality 
should be better than his.  In addition, earlier Lok Jai blasted a 
magazine for using the film SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING) 
stills to speculate about his break up with Kary Ng Yu Fei.  Derek Tsang 
Kwok Cheung yesterday on a Metro Radio interview said that he felt the 
film company would not promote that way.  What would he do if he was the 
lead?  Tsang Kwok Cheung said, "I would be mad too."

* (2013/07/26) Kelvin Kwan Chor Yiu in the new film HARDCORE COMEDY 
(CHUNG HAU MEI) played an otaku who has a crush on his neighbor Michelle 
Wai Si Nga.  In one scene he even stared at her while pleasuring himself, 
but Kelvin complained, "I have never jerked off with so many men 
watching and even instructing me on how!  I am 30 year old, please!  I 
didn't think whether it was embarrassing or not, I just dropped my pants 
halfway down and went for it.  Since I didn't have much of an image 
anyway, what was I afraid of!"
	For Kelvin to look at Michelle and not being able to do anything, 
it was truly painful because Michelle's draw was incredible.  She said, 
"In one scene I played an adult video girl, I haven't watched an adult 
video and had no sample.  I could only rely on the crew's description to 
perform.  They said I was very convincing!"  Even Kelvin admitted, "She 
really was!"  Michelle joked, "I don't know if I should be happy or not!"
	Actually Kelvin also had a "busty" co-stars to perform a passion 
scene with.  He said, "In the scene I was in school, paid a fat male 
student 20 buck and then squeezed him!  Rubbed him!  Bounced his chest!  
I really want to compliment this actor, who was able to perform according 
to the director's order completely without making any noise.  He was very 
professional!"

* (2013/07/26) The Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) written, directed and starred 
THE ROOFTOP features the 1/4 Russian new "J Girl" with a resemblance to 
Angelababy, Li Xinai.  They have many sweet romantic scenes in the film.  
Producer Will Liu discovered Li Xinai while crossing the street, then he 
introduced her to Chairman Chou.  Thus she was jokingly nicknamed, 
"Cinderella of the Crosswalk".  Although Li Xinai had no performance 
experience, with her fresh and cute look she caught Chairman Chou's eyes.
	Playing a big star in the film, Li Xinai received Chairman Chou's 
mad pursuit.  Chairman Chou brought her to the night market for gold 
fish and serenaded her on the rooftop to win her heart.  Chairman Chou 
also hung in mid air to give her roses.  She gave up her first on screen 
kiss in her first performance, but to The Drifters' Darren and not Chow 
Kit Lun.  Actually always "keeping his integrity" Chairman Chou gave the 
opportunity to his good brother Darren.  Chairman Chou joked, "This prove 
that I am very righteous, I didn't benefit myself."  He even said that 
Darren and Li Xinai would perform a rape scene.

* (2013/07/26) The relationship between Wong Jing and TVB is growing 
closer.  Wong Jing will not only make a new series for TVB but his film 
FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (DOH SING FUNG WON, tentative title) that will star 
Chow Yun Fat and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung will also be TVB invested.  The 
film will even make the Lunar New Year slot next year.  This film will 
hold a large scale press conference on the 28th in Television City.  Chow 
Yun Fat, Tse Ting Fung, Chapman To Man Jat and others will appear.  
Reportedly, the film will have many artists to make the cast even 
stronger.
	Every year TVB and Shaw would work together on the I LOVE HONG 
KONG Lunar New Year film series with Eric Tsang Chi Wai as its producer.  
Now with Wong Jing and TVB working together on the Lunar New Year film, 
who knows if they will face each other during the Lunar New year.  
However, both are recently producing new series for TVB.  Comparisons 
naturally are inevitable.  Two nights ago Chi Wai was asked which of the 
two series was more substantial.  Chi Wai said, "In terms of size, he is 
more substantial than me, but we won't compete with each other."

* (2013/07/26) The Simon Yam Tat Wa directed new film TALES FROM THE DARK 
(MAI LEI YEH) was screened at the New York Asian Film Festival and the 
Busan Film Festival.  Some after watching TALES FROM THE DARK praised 
Brother Wa, "if he doesn't act he truly can switch to directing".  Faced 
with mass anticipation, Brother Wa humbly said, "Rookies like us only 
hope for more opinions and more encouragement from viewers."
	During the shoot, Brother Wa was so nervous that he could not 
sleep.  He often thought about camera placements in the garden and shot 
on location in Tin Lok Lane, where car accidents constantly took place.  
For work and character, Brother Wa and a child actor spent many days 
inside a small coffin room.  H said that at the time he was exhausted 
mentally.  "I can describe it with the words 'paranoia breeds hidden 
ghosts'."
	Actually earlier when Brother Wa attended an event and played 
golf in the Mainland he ran into something strange in the hotel.  He 
said, "A big group of people in the same environment took pictures from 
the same angle, only the photo from the photographer's camera had a 
'human head'.  After seeing it I was restless.  After returning to Hong 
Kong one day I received a call from the hotel, saying that the room is 
already taken care of and I could go and play anytime.  I asked what 
happened.  Actually they hired a master to look into it and learned that 
a 'girl' was in the living room.  In other words she kept me company 
for a few nights."
	Brother Wa liked to compare supernatural events with a "coin".  
"It has two sides, depending on how you see it.  When the less things are 
going people's way the more horror they would think of, the opposite is 
true as well."

* (2013/07/26) Film industry new comer Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling, director 
Wong Sau Ping, producer Chan Sum Yiu and one legged dancer Tommy Guns 
earlier promoted their film THE WAY WE DANCE (KONG MO PAI) at the Taipei 
Film Festival.  At the forum they shared their production experience.  
Cherry's character Ah Fa is silly and hot blooded, receiving the praise 
of many viewers.  She said that she was exactly like that two years ago.  
"Now I would worry too much about some things.  This time acting is like 
finding the original me, my original dream is to be dancer."
	The not yet 20 year old Cherry has many interests.  She studied 
Chinese dance, standard dance, social dance and jazz dance.  "I am not a 
full time dancer, but I like all kinds of dance.  This film's focus is 
Hip Hop, which I spent some time to learn."

* (2013/07/26) Bosco Wong Chung Chak and Karena Ng Chin YU yesterday 
attended a Gundam display opening and posed with a 1:3 scale model.  Ng 
Chin Yu also played Gundam video games, but rarely played with boyfriend 
Raymond Lam Fung.  When they date they mostly dine with friends.  Ng Chin 
Yu will work on a Lunar New Year film and an action film.  In the future 
she will not mind working with Lam Fung.  "Even if we would play a 
couple, I wouldn't be embarrassed because we are professional actors.  I 
want to try any genre and hope to improve."  Has Lam Fung prohibited her 
from sexy scene?  Ng Chin Yu joked, "I have never been sexy, I feel it 
doesn't suit my age."

* (2013/07/26) Mary Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) after completing her husband 
Lau Kar Leung's funeral yesterday morning moved to Ling Wan Temple in 
preparation for a retreat.  On facebook she said that when she took a 
taxi to the temple she kept crying as she got sentimental about her own 
life as well as Master Lau's suffering.
	Yung Jing Jing originally planned to stay in the temple for 
awhile, but in the last time she rushed home to handle some issues.  She 
said that the plaque that should have been sent to the martial art hall 
and fabrics and carpets that were meant for the orphanage were all sent 
back home, thus she could only return home first.  During this period she 
will be undertaking the "Eight Precepts".  "The hardest is not being able 
to yell at people!  Thus, I would 'watch my mouth' until it is over."
	Yung Jing Jing mentioned studying the subject of "yelling at 
people" while reciting Emperor Liang Jeweled Repentance at the temple.  
"Denouncing the bad for justice probably doesn't count as a violation?"  
Yung Jing Jing on facebook revealed that Master Lau's valuable items 
would be divided between his seven children but would take time to sort 
out.  She praised how well behaved Master Lau's son with his former wife 
has been.  She would love him like her own and treat him fairly.
	In addition, Yung Jing Jing yesterday revealed that there has 
been no new development from her "call for donation" to the Lau Kar 
Leung charity foundation to Shaw at the funeral home.

* (2013/07/26) Natalie Meng Yiu two nights ago attended a taping of SUPER 
TRIO MAXIMUS.  When she introduced herself Eric Tsang Chi Wai made fun of 
her lack of improvement with her Cantonese.  "Did you go to study 
overseas?  How come your Chinese didn't improve?"  During a game she 
failed to light a match and helplessly sat on the ground.  She was made 
fun of as a Geoduck Fairy.
	The last time Meng Yao dressed too provocatively last time.  This 
time her clothing also had many holes and she has already taken measures 
against wardrobe malfunctions.  Meng Yao continued, "I will play (Edwin) 
Siu Jing Nam's wife in Wong Jing's new TVB series.  (Liza) Wang Ming 
Chuen will play my mother in law.  I will work hard on my Cantonese, if 
that won't work then dubbing will be used."  Meng Yao participated in 
the Chow Yun Fat, Nicholas Tse Ting Fung starred new film FROM VEGAS TO 
MACAU (DOH SING FUNG WON, tentatively title).  Wong Jing's past films 
would have a lot of passionate bed scenes.  The married woman was 
surprised and covered her chest with her arms.  "That's not necessary for 
television!  For film it's OK!"

* (2013/07/25) Famous film director Lau Kar Leung has worked with Shaw 
for years, with many films that were big hits.  Actually over the years 
he has never received any royalty that he deserved.  His widow Mary Jean 
Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) yesterday announced the establishment of the 
"Director Lau Kar Leung charity foundation" at Master Lau's funeral 
and publicly urged Sir Run Run Shaw (Siu Yat Fu) to be the first donor, 
to donate all the royalty that Master Lau should have had and lead 
everyone to support the charity foundation.
	Yung Jing Jing during her eulogy announced the establishment of 
Director Lau Kar Lung charity foundation.  She personally donated HK$1 
million to the charity to help stunt people and those in need in the film 
industry.  She even made a surprising revelation that Despite years of 
working with Shaw, Master Lau never received any royalty.  Thus she hoped 
through the charity establishment to urge Siu Yat Fu to donate the 
royalty that Master Lau deserved over the years and contribute to the 
industry together.  She said, "Master was not someone who liked to keep 
count.  I have known him for 30 years, he has made many films for Shaw, 
every film had a contract that stipulated international and Hong Kong 
royalty.  Yet over 30 years, Master has never received any.  We believe 
that Mr. Siu Yat Fu is very kind, saving it for us and then investing it.  
I think this sum now should reach at least 5 million if not 50 million.  
Thus we hope Mr. Siu Yat Fu would donate this sum to the charity.  What 
does everyone think?"  Applause rose from the audience.  Yung Jing Jing 
also mentioned that she needed to muster up a lot of courage to say what 
she said.  She thanked her children for their support, feeling that if 
she did not say it yesterday she would not have a chance to say it again.  
She said emotionally, "I hope Mr. Siu Yat Fu can hear those words.  You 
won't lose money.  You can repackage Master's movies then sell them 
again.  Thank you everyone!"  Guests then applauded and cheered.
	Yung Jing Jing later at the post funeral banquet expressed that 
the charity establishment fulfilled Master's wish and took the chance to 
remove the thorn in the palm of his hand.  She pointed out that back then 
when Master made movies for Shaw, he signed many contracts without dates.  
He didn't have a lot of legal knowledge and thought that they were all 
permanent, which made him worry when he was working.  However Shaw has 
never given Master any royalty, only a beautiful future.  She said, "This 
future is wished for but never attained.  Master for years has never gone 
after it, neither was he contacted.  Master was more generous, different 
from me.  He left alot inside and wouldn't speak up.  If not for the 
charity this time I wouldn't care."  She stressed that she did not blame 
anyone and believed that as a very large scale company, Shaw overlooking 
one or two accounts would not be a surprise.  Would she take legal action 
if she would not receive any response?  Yung Jing Jing said, "I am not 
talking about that, in addition how could there be no response.  You are 
so attentive, maybe there will be more responses.  I believe they 
definitely just overlooked and missed it."  The film industry was more 
practical, not everyone was as willing to help friends and disciples as 
Master was.  A timely shower was very important, thus it needed the 
foundation's help very much.  She again stressed that Master was someone 
who was willing to take a loss and would not hold anyone accountable.  
He was a great man unlike a little woman like her.  She said that this 
move was very rude.  She said, "I won't find a mediator, just treat me 
like a kid who lacks any understanding of the world.  I needed courage to 
say what I said.  In Master's memory he remembered there was a sum that 
hasn't been calculated, just treat it like helping him pulling out a 
little hang nail.  The foundation now is like a baby.  When a person is 
poor he remembers old debts.  We won't talk about the law.  Since we 
were employer and employee, we hope to complete this together."
	Sin Kwok Lam said that the Master's wife was not collecting a 
debt.  She only helped to help spread Master's love to the world and 
believed that Mr. and Mrs. Siu Yat Fu would support it.  Yung Jing Jing 
finally said again that she hoped that Siu Yat Fu would take the lead 
and be the first donor.  She stressed that everything that she said and 
did was to ask for donations for the foundation.  Shaw executive Wong Ka 
Hei only replied, "It's the same old song, no comment!  Let she say 
whatever she wants to say."
	Nat Chan Pak Cheung was not certain about Master Lau's Shaw 
royalty issue.  It was the first time that he heard about it as well.  He 
said, "This is their private conversation, I can't speak for her.  No 
comment.  The most important is for the Master's funeral to be done 
safely and fully."  Perhaps due to this reason, Master Lau's funeral 
program never mentioned Siu Yat Fu's name.

* (2013/07/25) The Sean Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo Tin Lok and Angelica Lee 
Sinjie starred in INFERNO 3D (TOH CHOOK SUN TIN 3D).  Although Ching Wan 
and Goo Jai have worked on fire disaster film and television series years 
ago, they were surprised to learn that their previous experience was 
sorely lacking.  Thus this time before the new film shoot, they did all 
their homework in order to handle a series of danger filled fire scenes.
	Goo Jai revealed, in one scene he had to stand on the window 
ledge outside a building and used a safety rope to bring up Sinjie and 
Chen Sicheng from the fire in the floor below.  He said, "I never 
imagined that this scene would expend so much energy.  I remember that 
those two scenes had to be shot consecutively.  One scene took 10 days, 
then the other took 5 more days.  They truly were exhausting.  In the 
last two days of the shoot, my arms were so tired that they would shake 
from holding chopsticks.  I couldn't even speak."  Goo Jai even admitted 
that this film was the most difficult experience in his career.
	Ching Wan said that the metal clips hindered his acting and 
refused to wear a safety rope.  He said, "With all the padding below it's 
very safe, I feel I can muster up some courage and perform."

* (2013/07/25) Grand Master of a generation Master Lau Kar Leung's funeral 
took place yesterday at the Universal Funeral Parlor.  Widow Mary Jean 
Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) lightly touched the body before the coffin 
closing and sobbed to bid her late husband farewell reluctantly.  Chief 
disciple Adam Cheng Siu Chau along with fellow disciple Sin Kwok Lam, his 
disciple Rose Chan Ka Wun waved banners to clear the road and accompanied 
3 filial lions that bowed to the hearse to send Master Lau on his final 
journey.
	Around 9AM, funeral committee chair Nat Chan Pak Cheung, Wong 
Hung Sau, Karl Maka, Dean Shek Tin, Petrina Fung Bo Bo, Mr. and Mrs. John 
Chiang Dai Wai, Yasuaki Kurata, Mr. and Mrs. Tong Kai, Andrew Lau Wai 
Kung, Lau Chin Shek, Joe Cheung Tung Cho, Chan Ka Wun, Mr. and Mrs. Chin 
Kar Lok, Connie Chan Bo Chu and others arrived to pay their respect.  A 
calm Yung Jing Jing often smiled when she chatted with Ng See Yuen and 
Melvin Wong Kam Sun; around 9:35AM after Eric Tsang Chi Wai bowed at the 
altar and presented incense gave his condolences to the family and Yung 
Jing Jing; after around 10 minutes, Master Lau's chief disciple Cheng Siu 
Chau arrived.  He said, "Last night I didn't sleep well, I was missing 
Master all night."
	When the ceremony began, after Yung Jing Jing's speech Master 
Lau's coffin was moved to the center of the hall.  3 filial lion bowed 
into the hall, circled the coffin once then again offered the third 
step kneel nine step kowtow ceremony to the coffin. Then a viewing took 
place.  Yung Jing Jing immediately went up but the hall official urged 
her to return to the family section and wait. After family and friends 
went through the viewing, Yung Jing Jing again stood in front of the 
coffin with her hands together and gave three bows.  When she lightly 
touched the body, sh finally broke down and sobbed.  Yung Jing Jing's 
daughters whose eyes were swollen from crying waited by the coffin and 
quietly looked at their father for a long time.  After the viewing 
ceremony, guests each held one stick of incense and bowed to Master Lau.  
The abbot then host the scripture recital, followed by the coffin closing 
ceremony.
	Around 12:40PM, when Master Lau's coffin was transported to the 
hearse, Master Lau's son with his former wife, Lau Wing Keung, carried a 
spirit tablet to enter the vehicle.  Yung Jing Jing and her daughters 
followed with Master Lau's photo.  The three filial lions that sent 
Master on his final journey bowed in front of the hearse.  Then disciples 
Sin Kwok Lam, Cheng Siu Chau, disciple's disciple Chan Ka Wun led the 
disciples in a banner waving as the police opened the road for the 
departure.  Master Lau's remains would temporarily stayed in the Tung Wah 
Coffin Home, until a lucky day will be selected for a Po Lin Monastery 
cremation.
	The younger generation recalled a lot of memories about Master 
Lau.  Director Lau Wai Keung could not forget about starting as a chore 
boy and photographer with Master Lau in 1981.  His impression of the 
Master was a giant and a kung fu master.  He said, "He was very amazing, 
whether as an actor or as a stunt coordinator he was very fast.  Normally 
a shoot would increase the speed by one frame for action scenes, but for 
Master Lau's martial art scenes it had to be slowed by 26 frames.  His 
action was too fast."
	Chin Kar Lok said that Master Lau watched him grow up.  In his 
teens he already followed Master Lau as a stuntman and an actor, and he 
learned alot.  He said, "Master was very willing to help others.  When he 
asked me to make DRUNKEN MASTER 2 (JUI KUEN 2), I picked up taking marks, 
basic foundation, martial art action from him.  Thus I have shades of 
Master on me."  Master Lau gave Wong Hung Sau her start.  Recalling when 
she studied martial arts with Master Lau at Shaw, she said, "I fought 
until I puked, but after he taught me I could make action films.  He 
never yelled at me, but he was very demanding with the moves."

	Cheung Hok Yau yesterday was the first guest on a Phoenix U Radio 
program.  Two nights ago he attended Yip Tung and Chan Kwok Fun's 25th 
silver wedding anniversary party.  When he left he was all red from 
drinking as he avoided reporters' cameras.  He said, "At a party I 
naturally would drink, but I wasn't drunk.  I just didn't want reporters 
to take pictures.  My gift to Yip Tung was also wine.  Tsang Chi Wai, 
Leung Chiu Wai and others were on hand.  They drank and chatted, but Chi 
Wai fell asleep soon after arriving."  He said that he and May Law Mei 
Mei in the past only celebrated their wedding anniversaries with dinner.  
They had no plan for a big party.  Their wedding was not a big deal 
either.
	Hok Yau recently grew facial hair for a movie but he still has 
not decided on whether to take it or not.  If confirmed work will begin 
in September.  Speaking of Aaron Kwok Fu Sing wanted to direct and bring 
the Four Great Heavenly Kings together for a collaboration, Hok Yau said, 
"I haven't heard, I would check out the script and the character first 
before deciding whether I would make it."

quickly he was able to practice convincing.
	Gloria Yip Wan Yi playd a tofu shop owner, the mother of female

She still looked very young.

* (2013/07/25) Huang Xiaoming yesterday attended a Tissot 
Recently he and his girlfriend Angelababy were rumored to have broken up.  
They were caught meeting at night earlier.  Huang Xiaoming lately has 
been busy promoting his new film with Baby, A SENTIMENTAL STORY.  When 
asked about the break up, his assistant immediately told reporters to ask 
other questions.  Huang Xiaoming instead asked if they were making up 
news, reporters said that they were only confirming the Mainland report. 
He hesitated then said, "Film promotions have to have certain extends, 
don't go overboard and don't hurt others.  Am I still with Baby?  Let's 
not talk about this."  Did the rumor hurt his relationship with Baby?  
Huang Xiaoming joked, "It hurt my own relationship.  Was Baby unhappy?  
You ask her!"
	Huang Xiaoming appeared with smoky eye make up as a CHINESE IDOL 
judge, was made fun of and criticized online.  He joked, "It doesn't 
matter, I never said it looked good.  I just wanted to cheer everyone 
up."  He said that he did not ask Baby for makeup technique advice.
	Karena Ng Chin Yu and her boyfriend Raymond Lam Fung were rumored 
to be clingy in love.  Earlier she was caught visiting her boyfriend on 
the set in the Mainland, was accused of distracting Lam Fung and led to 
bad takes.  Ng Chin Yu denied the rumor.  "There was no such thing, I 
don't want to talk too much about personal matter."  Was she supervising 
because she was afraid that her boyfriend was tempted in the Mainland?  
Ng Chin Yu denied that.  "Everyone has their own jobs, I only went to 
support him.  I feel I don't need to supervise.  I would understand that 
everyone are working."  Would she visit less?  Ng Chin Yu said that every 
time she was caught on camera wherever she went.  Actually she did not go 
too many times.

* (2013/07/25) Lillian Lee Bik Wa's novel series has been adapted into 
TALES FROM THE DARK (MAI LEI YEH) and TALES FROM THE DARK 2 (KEI WAN 
YEH).  In the first TALES FROM THE DARK Lo Hoi Pang and Susan Shaw Yam 
Yam's scene blasted "Z.Y. Leung" and went viral online.  The upcoming 
release TALES FROM THE DARK 2 had an appearance from 'Butchered Room Bo'. 
Teddy Robin Kwan directed this segment, with Vincent Wan Yeung Ming as 
the "Uncle Bo" character.
	When Wan Yeung Ming appeared and said to his mobile phone, "I 
'Butchered Room Bo' have over 200 rooms, my word is gold.  You can 
relax!  With an 1,000 square foot unit including a balcony, I can 
butcher it into 8 rooms for you!  Of course!  Profit to the max!"  The 
dialogue would make people smile from the heart.  Wan Yeung Ming's image 
was "Uncle Bo head" with gold wire frame glasses and a suit.  It was not 
hard to be reminded of the negative news tangled Development Secretary 
Paul Chan Mo-po.
	The story was adapted on Lee Bik Wa's short novels that were 
released last year.  The original work did not have "Butchered Room Bo", 
the film added this character in the last minute.  Lee Bik Wa admitted 
that it was a parody but the story also required it, since its climax 
took place in a butchered (subdivided) room.

* (2013/07/25) The film UNBEATABLE (GIK JIN) will be released on August 15 
in Hong Kong.  Two days ago it held a Beijing press conference.  Nick 
Cheung Ka Fai and Crystal Li with this film won the Shanghai Golden

physiques also drew attention.
	Cheung Ka Fai said, "When I made UNBEATABLE my opponent broke my 
finger, which still hasn't healed yet.  Peng Yu-Yn was also injured many 
times, his ear was swollen."  Some suspected that their muscles were 
their doubles.  They joked, "Which double has such beautiful muscles?"

[ BLAH OF THE WEEK ] Columns, Reviews, Interviews

1. APPLE DAILY, JULY 28 2013, ELECTRIC FILM ROAD
PANG HO CHUNG, CHAPMAN TO: THE TEMPTATION OF SCREWING AROUND

	Pang Ho Cheung, Chapman To Man Jat continue to display their 
vulgar nature and mischievous spirit, their new SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI 
FU CHOOK JING) not only is foul mouthed and rotten tongued but also takes 
you to screw around.  It could care less about your Art Critic Award 
giving another chance to go to last year's gold prize winner Jasmine Jia.  
Pang Ho Cheung claimed that based on the premise of "nine out of ten men 
screw around, the remaining one is still thinking about it", the subject 
of going out and off the rail at night can have endless potential.  Like 
him with the Tonnochy Night Club, the connection never fades.
- HO WING NING, CHEUNG CHUN MING

	Pang Ho Cheung's connection to the Tonnochy Night Club that was 
originally in Wanchai and closed years ago came from his screen writing 
class instructor Lam Chiu Wing.  "I very much regret getting into the 
business too late, I have never been there and always wanted to go.  From 
what he said, bosses truly would bring screen writers to night clubs.  
Then everyone took turns to pitch ideas, the right ones got paid, told 
you to randomly pick a girl and bring back to write the script.  I wanted 
to get into the business because of that, but as soon as I did Tonnochy 
closed."  His previous film MEN SUDDENLY IN BLACK (DAI JEUNG FU) was 
already written in memory of Tonnochy.  This time after receiving a 
category III rating, his film SDU SEX DUTIES UNIT is again made to 
please a group of viewers who want to screw around but do not dare to 
go like himself.
	Pang Ho Cheung felt that screwing around was men's true nature 
and a long existing fact, but he stressed on numerous occasions that he 
was not encouraging men to screw around.  He also did not deny that this 
fact existed.  He said, "I don't have enough guts to speak for all men, 
everyone may or may not screw around.  Some people's personalities aren't 
suitable for screwing around.  When you go as a group in your youth, you 
not necessarily are after pleasures of the flesh.  Instead you are 
building male friendship, like cheating together, playing sports 
together and having something in common to talk about.  Screwing around 
is a variation."

Screwing Around Is Criminal Nature
	Claiming to frequent brothels in his youth, half a Wise Guy To Man 
Jat had an alternative view.  "When you are single and go to play at most 
it's called pleasure seeking, if you are married it's screwing around.  
It depends on whether you meet the criteria, which is the risk of your 
marriage.  If you are not afraid of the old lady leaving, of course you 
can screw around.  On the other hand if you aren't scared, it might not 
be as fun.  It's not a purely biological need, but a criminal nature 
that has been around since childhood.  It's like when you are little you 
like to talk back, your parents don't let you do it but you still do it 
anyway.  It contains a type of desire of being prohibited."
	Ah Jat also defines screwing around.  "It's something that you 
are not permitted to do, perhaps your job or profession don't allow it.  
If you are a teacher, you are very afraid of running into parents and 
students.  Or ip you are an artist, the single ones would be afraid of 
being caught on camera.  Due to work, you can't do something but you do 
it anyway.  That is screwing around."  They agreed that the mentality of 
screwing around is thrill seeking.  Pang Ho Cheung said, "Because you have 
rules, everyone want to challenge them.  On certain level it's like going 
to a haunted house.  When a group of people goes to the night club, they 
sit down and talk about something else.  Even though a group of girls 
are there, in the end you may leave by yourself.  Actually it is a little 
embellishment."  Ah Jat said, "Thus gambling and patronizing prostitutes 
alone is too sad.  They should be fun as a group, a group of people 
looking for something to play together.  Often even when you have a girl 
around you, you would always stare at your friend's.  Men are after 
things that don't belong to them.  After they picked they would always 
look at another."  Ah Jat also joked, "My old lady (Krystal Tin Yui Nui) 
is always asked if she was afraid of her hubby screwing around.  She said 
no, she had Next (magazine) keeping an eye out.  It's true.  I get 
lustful but I am also very scared.  If it came out losing the old lady 
would be very sad!  I am not afraid of viewers calling me a jerk, I am 
always afraid of losing the old lady."

Setting Up Eric Tsang Chi Wai
	As the saying went, "Nine out of ten men screw around, the 
remaining one is still thinking about it."  To Man Jat replied without 
hesitation.  "I belong to the remaining on, but I don't think about it.  
After thinking I don't have much chance to do anything, why bother 
thinking!  It's just making trouble for yourself."  Ah Jat lumped 
everyone together, "In the 80s and the 90s all the stars screwed around!  
I meant all the artists of the 80s.  I think you have to ask Tsang Chi 
Wai!  He was that era.  He made so many LUCKY STAR movies, he definitely 
have a lot of experience."
	Pang Ho Cheung joked that he was the tenth one as well.  "I 
always think so it turns into movies, doing it once in the movies I am 
already happy."  The film was about the SDU going to screw around, the 
Society For Truth and Light morality defender naturally criticized it 
as a film that told people to screw around.  However To Man Jat 
disagreed, "How can it encourage anything?  PRISON ON FIRE was 
successful too, it still couldn't encourage me to go to prison.  This 
night club industry is declining in Hong Kong.  It isn't a sunsetting 
industry, it's gone, no business.  Now there are karaoke boxes, not night 
clubs.  Because no Hong Konger would do it, Mainlanders came down to take 
over.  Without succession, people now aren't willing to be an escort."  
Pang Ho Cheung said that he would make similar subjects again because it 
is a story that can never end.  "This subject is forever, like police
films would always have many states of minds and impulses.  Pleasure 
seeking actually has a lot of mental conflict, one movie is not enough to 
cover it all.  Screwing around is a tool, it can be about friendship, 
love or family.  This time it is about friendship."

Pleasant Seekers Runs Into Wanted Fugitive
	The film SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT is about the Special Duties Unit 
B team captain Siu Keung, sniper Ah Fu, Pointman Shrimp and Defenseman 
Ka Ho are as close as brothers, but Ah Fu actually thought about jumping 
to the rival A team.  In order to strengthen team unity, Siu Keung 
decides to lead a pleasant seeking trip to Macau and visit a new night 
club with both a sauna bath house and pole dancing striptease.  Yet 
because law enforcement members have to report their overseas trips, 
someone daringly suggests to speed boat to sneak into Macau, avoid the
normal Customs process and named the operation "dirty war".
	Originally everything is going smoothly.  As everyone gets a girl 
and about to get down in their rooms, the Policia Judicara comes for a 
license check and arrests them.  After some troubles they manage to 
escape from the police station and get a speed boat to return to Hong 
Kong.  Just when they think they can make it back in time to return to 
the SDU, in the same boat is a wanted fugitive. 

2. MING PAO DAILY, JULY 28 2013, FILM WORDS
SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT IS CHEERFUL AND HUMOROUS
	New Hong Kong film includes the Pang Ho Cheung written and 
produced, Gary Mak Wing Lun directed SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK 
JING).  Chapman To Man Jat, Shawn Yue Man Lok, Matthew Chow Hoi Kwong, 
Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung starred Hong Kong police Special Duties Unit B 
Team.  After work they seek pleasure and actually sneak into Macau to 
cook up a "dirty war" operation.  They bumble and stumble their way out 
of trouble and into capturing a big time crook.
	This category III film sells foul mouth vulgarity, with Macau 
club prostitute selection show and sex trade guide.  Yet it is not as 
dirty and flesh peddling as 3D SEX AND ZEN (3D YUK PO TUEN) and DUE WEST 
OUR SEX JOURNEY (YUT LO HEUNG SAI), it is not an outrageous parody like 
VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET) either.  Mainly it actually is a police 
comedy.  The SDU team actually is more oddball than dirty, more foul 
mouthed than perverted.  In addition it has more gays than prostitutes.  
In the end they all return to the straight and narrow -- the jerk captain 
To Man Jat actually cannot forget his former wife, pervert Chow Hoi Kwong 
actually is a filial son, Yue Man Lok even falls for the girl escort Liu 
Anqi.  The most "revealing" Tsang Kwok Cheung would not be gross 
either.
	SDU SEX DUTIES UNIT has many Hong Kong actors' help.  Mak Wing 
Lun's direction is appropriate, remaining cheerful and humorous.  The 
problem is viewers who truly want to watch a sex film or a police film may 
feel that it is short of both ends.  If you are just looking for laughs 
to cure the doldrums, it is passable.  (Two out of five stars)

TINY TIMES IS EXCESSIVELY AESTHETIC
	Mandarin film TINY TIMES is Mainland best selling writer Guo 
Jingming written and directed.  In the Mainland it made almost 500 
million yuan RMB.  Unfortunately its Hong Kong release catches less 
attention.  In the film Mini Yang Mi, Amber Kuo, Guo Biting, and Xie 
Yilin played four new era Shanghai university students.  They are much 
more modern and elegant than Vicki Zhao Wei's 80s Beijing university 
students in SO YOUNG but also much less real.  None of the four women 
hav any class scene as they live in the extreme extravagant "Heaven", 
develop a few romances, and feeling that guys may be hard to come by but 
the sisterly love is the most valuable.
	TINY TIMES is not considered rotten, only excessively 
"aesthetic", "pretentious" and "materialistically" pleases little women 
viewers.  It is all packaging and no substance.  This film becoming a hit 
shows the enormity of th Mainland women market.  Also noted is its lack 
of Hong Kong star, as Mainland female stars are more and more in demand.  
As for the actors, Taiwan mixed heritage hunk Rhydian Vaughan (Fung Siu 
Ngok) as the fashion magazine owner was the most entertaining.  His 
first performance was in WINDS OF SEPTEMBER, in GIRLFRIEND*BOYFRIEND he 
was particularly spotlight stealing.  Fung Siu Ngok resembled soccer star 
Christian Ronaldo.  His acting continued to improve and he had quite a 
star quality. (Two out of five stars) - SHEK KEI

3. APPLE DAILY, JULY 26, 2013, TALK 24
MENTIONING CO-PRODUCTION LEADS TO FRUSTRATION
PANG HO CHEUNG, CHAPMAN TO TEMPT FAT LAI TO INVEST IN HONG KONG FILMS

	The "VULGARIA DUO" of Pang Ho Cheung and Chapman To Man Jat 
after years of frustration from co-productions are determined to return 
home and revive the Hong Kong film spirit!  Last year with VULGARIA (DAI 
JOOK HEI KEI) they chopped a big tree with a dagger, as its 30 million 
box office way more than covered profit.  Its English title VULGARIA even 
blatantly made fun of how vulgar it was.  This summer, the two continue 
to extend the vulgar spirit with SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK 
JING)!  When Pang Ho Cheung and Ah Jat received the invitations to be 
TALK 24 gusts, after watching Chrissie Chau Sau Na's episode they 
stipulated that they had to have an "expedition" to Fat Lai's mansion.  
Perhaps they thought the gates of mansion still had "flying axes"?  
Great!  Come if you dare!  TALK 24 airs every Thursday at 11PM and again 
on http://bit.ly/appletalk24.

Sworn To Pass On Cantonese
	Ah Jat recalls the appearance of VULGARIA last time started with 
an online war of words, it all came from frustrations that were "forced 
out".  Pang Ho Chung states that VULGARIA had an even deeper layer of 
meaning to pass on Cantonese.  Ah Jat says, "Last time with VULGARIA he 
had a war of words with others online.  They said that he didn't even 
know how to speak Putonghua, what qualifies him to argue with us 
Mainlanders!  After the two of us were bullied, we were frustrated.  We 
thought of making a web series that used foul language, that used 
Cantonese."  Pang Ho Cheung says, "At the time the Guangdong province 
just said that no Cantonese was prohibited on the radio anymore."
	Ah Jat is enraged.  "They even removed that 'F*ck his ma! Tough 
it out!' plaque."  
	Director Pang warns, "Actually the standard isn't banning you 
from speaking it now, but to make your communication less perfect so the 
next generation doesn't want to speak it."

Say No To Stephen Chow's Money Offer, Jat Pang Work in Poverty
Dirty Foul Mouth Gag Release
	In August two years ago, Fat Lai had a bet with Giddens Ko.  If 
YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE's box office broke NT$20 million he would 
give him a full page ad.  Later the film broke 100 million at the box 
office, Fat Lai not only miscalculated but also had to keep his promise 
of course!
	Fat Lai mentions this film story, then Ah Jat laments, "This is 
fate.  For example with the two of us, we thought that every movies that 
we paid for ourselves would be a hit.  (Stephen) Chow Sing Chi called and 
asked, 'Are you making a movie?  Do you need money?'"  The ambitious Ah 
Jat replied, "No need!"  In his heart he thought, "I would keep all the 
profits myself."
	At the time Pang Ho Chung also wanted to say to other investors, 
"You are chipping in now?  Aren't you a little late?"  Finally TRIVIAL 
MATTER (POR SI YI) bombed so badly it made them cry.  Later they went to 
work for someone else and made VULGARIA "the cheapest and the dirtiest" 
way they could, yet they profit so much it made them laugh.  Perhaps 
such opportunities did not belong to them?  No wonder Chua Lam (Choi Lan) 
said, "The highest risk industries in the world are gold speculation and 
film."
	Ah Jat feels that film is a place where private desires can be 
released.  Things that you cannot do normally can be made into reality 
with film.
	Getting his second wind, Ah Jat also makes fun of Director Pang.  
"They say that film is just personally desire release, in other words 
things that you can normally do."
	Director Pang's analogy this time is even more to the bone.  "No, 
because you don't have the chance to make it up there.  When I make the 
schedule with you I would come up with some dirty gag, dirty jokes, foul 
mouth stuff.  Since normally you can't release them, then it's like an 
enema and come out all at once."
	Actually it is not just to the bone, it is also very gross!

Bomb Teaches Director Pang To Stay Grounded
Fat Lai Invests In Film?
	With VULGARIA Hong Kong investors realized that pure Hong Kong 
film still can make a profit.
	Fat Lai asks, "Is it easy to find an investor to make movies 
now?"  Pang Ho Cheung states, "Easier than before.  VULGARIA proved that 
if you abandon the Mainland market and concentrate on an individual 
market, you still can make a profit.  Thus this year it's much easier."
	Fat Lai suddenly says, "Hey, I never invested in film 
before......"  Ah Jat interrupts, "Are you interested?"
	"Today actually is about this negotiation?"  Director Pang 
pretends to just come to the realization.
	Does Fat Lai truly want to invest?  He says, "I feel investment 
isn't about the interest to invest, the film profit model isn't just on a 
film by film basis.  With film by film basis, it's worse than gambling.  
If a company makes 15 movies this year, two are huge hits, three lose 
a little, the other all bomb, the company actually makes a big profit."
	Veteran filmmaker Chua Lam disagrees, "If so, everyone knows how 
it operates and everyone would throw in their money.  Your way doesn't 
necessarily work.  Film is fun because of its uncertainty."
	Fat Lai defenses his opinion.  "At the very least, film's 
possibility for loss is huge but the win ratio is also huge.  I feel this 
way you give yourself a chance."  Chua Lam keeps on shaking his head and 
strongly objects.
	Director Pang cannot help but chime in, "Mr. Lai, if you say this 
to me earlier, I wouldn't be so poor.  In 2006, I was bold and reckless.  
I feel no, why not chip in and be the boss once." 
	Ah Jat also cannot help himself.  "However he was smart, he 
dragged me in with him."  Fat Lai jokes, "Then everyone dies together!"  
Everyone laugh, but Ah Jat laughs bitterly.
	Director Pang continues, "I thought that I knew so many stars, 
with us at the helm the movie would truly make money.  At the time I made 
TRIVIAL MATTER."  Ah Jat says, "Foul mouth rotten tongue, sex, gambling, 
drugs and ghosts it had everything."
	Should it not be very successful then?  Actually it was not.  
Director Pang explained the reason.  "The problem is we put all of the 
resources on one movie, we would be crushed to death.  Distributors saw 
that you only had one movie, the owner of one film, so they haggled down 
your price.  If I had many movies, if I had INFERNAL AFFAIRS, would you 
have the guts to haggle with me?  Later I discovered that what you said 
was right, you really couldn't made just one independently."
	Actually TRIVIAL MATTER truly was living and breathing trivial 
matter.

VULGARIA Because of Excessive Frustration in the North
SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT FOR CHILDREN?
	Actually SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT originally was a category I 
children film, would you believe it?
	Pang Ho Cheung said, "Last year after finishing VULGARIA, many 
film companies asked me to make a movie like VULGARIA.  I said I didn't 
have time, but I then thought, let's not waste it.  Every year so many 
children are on summer vacation, why not make a movie for everyone to 
have some fun!"
	Director Pang, you are a liar!  Obviously in your column you 
stated that the story of SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT came from a certain 
magazine's incomplete serial novel in 2008.  At that time the Special 
Duties Unit story from the beginning already transitioned into a sex 
story.
	Director Pang follows, "Who knew that during the shoot it would 
change, in the end the kids don't get to see it."
	Co-production films rule the day, how does Ah Jat feel about 
this?  "Hong Kong people are very poor.  Actually Hong Kong people are 
very smart.  They know from just looking at a poster.  These movies are 
made for Mainlanders and they are discouraged.  After several years of 
frustration, filmmakers really wanted to make local films again.  The 
audience is the same way.  Come on, you have to rely on the Mainland to 
make a money, you have to rely on the Mainland for politics, you even 
have to rely on the Mainland to watch movies?"  Fat Lai asks, "What can 
you do, the market is so big."
	Pang Ho Chung responds, "Thus either you make it cheaper or 
faster."  Ah Jat adds, "Actually both of us are only in it for profit.  
Since all the directors went back to the Mainland and everyone is 
grabbing money, wow, it's all empty.  Why don't we make a movie!"  
Director Pang even gives an exciting analogy.  "In other words when 
everyone is robbing the jewelry store, you suddenly realize that no one 
is watching the pawn shop.  Yes, I know the pawn shop has less money, but 
it really doesn't have any guard!"
	In comparison to the hundreds of millions in the Mainland market, 
the Hong Kong market is so small.  Does it have any profit to be made?  
Ah Jat said, "At least as of today the performance has been great.  No 
one has lost money.  Yet on the other hand, among those guys who went up 
to grab money, everyone dies."

Only Making Sex Films, Director Pang's Famine From Starving Too Long Is 
To Blame
Frustration Breeds New Creativity
	Success often is forced out.  Pang Ho Cheung after years of 
making movies in the Mainland is full of creativity.  Taking what others 
abandon can be a road to success as well.
	Fat Lai is a businessman, but he always values creativity.  
"Would you after making so many movies in the Mainland that all your 
creativity are spent on how to dodge its rules."  Director Pang admitted, 
"Mr. Lai, you don't have to worry.  This is definite."
	Since co-productions strangles creativity like this, would it 
make Hong Kong filmmakers "return" to Hong Kong?  Ah Jat is one of them.  
"Many creators have to make a living, but after several years of 
frustration, everyday you think about how to pass inspection and not 
how to make a good movie, human nature rebounds."

What Do Producers do?  Chua Lam, Ah Jat Share their Experience
Fat Lai Greets With Foul Language
	To Man Jat's opening dialogues force Fat Lai to let real emotions 
flow and use foul language to kiss up less!
	As soon as the cameras roll, To Man Jat says that Chua Lam is 
his idol producer.
	"You are so famous, drop the habit of kissing up!  You X!"  Fat 
Lai's "intimate greeting" leaves Ah Jat begging for mercy.  "I am so 
famous, only because you show me mercy!"  
	Since the topic is brought out, Fat Lai asks the film industry 
veteran Chua Lam to share his experience as a film producer.
	Chua Lam sips his tea and says, "Many people know what directors 
and actors are, but they don't know the purpose of a producer.  Because 
every movie is very different, it is very blurry and varying."  Fat Lai 
also asked, "Thn would bosses and directors stipulate lead actors?  For 
example she is my girl, how dare you not put her in the lead?"  Ah Jat 
cuts in, "This constantly happens!"  Everyone nods in agreement.  Ah Jat 
continues, "Some directors are huge, not just in terms of position, but 
also personality.  Producers in turn are only assistants."

Ah Jat's Foul Language Film Review Becomes Classic
	To Man Jat has been in film and television for 20 years, his 
representative work actually is a foul language film review that went 
viral online.  Even Fat Lai appreciates it very much!  The entire story 
starts like this......Ah Jat says, "Someone after watching 3D SEX AND ZEN 
shared his experience online.  One day I had a meeting with Chan Ka Hing 
and (Amy) Chin Siu Wai.  We were at the meeting and couldn't come up 
with anything no matter what.  Chan Hing Ka said, 'Hey let's not talk 
any more, I have something to show you, you just read it'.  Then Amy 
Chin was worse, 'let's not talk any more, since you are reading it we 
might as well record it'.  Then before I read it, I held up the paper like 
a weather cast and read it as I recited it out loud.  If I read it before 
I wouldn't dare to record it.  What was I going to do if I cross 
(Stephen) Shiu Yeuk Yuen?  The more I recited the more I realized I was 
in trouble, sigh!  Who cares, just read it all then record it.  Oh you 
send it to me, they said no need, it is already on YouTube."

"Truly Sad"
	Pang Ho Cheung after hearing that film review also praises, "I 
was in the Mainland when I listened to this review, I was laughing so 
hard.  The kids who worked at my company didn't know Cantonese.  I said, 
when I learned this review you would speak Cantonese.  I told him to 
listen."  Ah Jat jokes, "The funniest is the VULGARIA investor.  He says 
after listening to it he realizes that this was To Man Jat's best 
performance in 20 years in film and television.  I said that's truly sad, 
after 100 movies, everyone just remembers this part."  If one day you are 
in a foul mood, aside from finding Ah Jat's vulgar foul language film 
review you can also watch this episode of TALK 24 again for more laughs!

  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.

[ BROADWAY CIRCUITS ]
  Commissioned by the Jeonju Digital Project, Ying Liang is inspired by 
  the case of Yang Jia, who was accused of murdering 6 policemen in
  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.

  then referred by Wendy (Sharon Chan), her previous neighbour to work as
  a high-class prostitute to earn quick money. Unable to offer a better
  option for Bobo, Ken could only support her decision.

  After escorting Bobo to “work” for a week, Ken finally burst and
  snapped at her in discontent and jealousy. Bobo then decided to go to
  work alone. Meanwhile, Ken also decided to go camping with his friends.
  When he got home, he was told by his mother that Bobo’s mother had
  passed away unexpectedly. Bobo and her younger sister were taken away
  by her relative.

  Bobo’s sudden disappearance ten years ago still lingered Ken’s heart.
  Their reunion forced them to walk through the time tunnel which stirred
  up every bit and piece of their past memories. Life is like a roller
  coaster with ups and downs and is ever-changing. What exactly have Ken
  and Bobo missed? Would they eventually have a happy ending?

  Majime is, by all accounts, a word person. Physically clumsy and
  socially awkward, he only truly feels at home within the rules and
  confines of lexicography. After struggling in the sales division of the
  Genbu Books publishing company, he manages to land his dream job in the 
  Dictionary Editorial Department, where he can use his talents to
  compile a new dictionary, called "The Great Passage." Partnering with
  Majime is a callow young man who is slow to develop an appreciation for
  the challenging task ahead. Majime’s love of language, however, leaves
  him speechless when he meets Kaguya, his landlady's granddaughter, who
  moves into his building and beguiles him with her obsession with
  cooking knives and fine cuisine. Majime soon finds that the words he
  has studied his whole life are inadequate to express his true feelings
  for Kaguya. Meanwhile, complications begin piling up as the dictionary
  department descends into chaos. Rising Japanese director Yuya Ishii
  sets this gentle dramatic comedy in the 1990s, well before the Wild
  West attitude of Google and Wikipedia. THE GREAT PASSAGE is a
  kindhearted tribute to a time when the written word still contained an
  element of magic and romance.

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? 

Tuesday, August 13, 2013 @ 7PM
I AM. (New York Premiere, 2012) 

	The music documentary I Am. follows the chart-topping 32 K-pop 
artists a part of SM TOWN as they prepare for a live performance at one 
of the world’s most prestigious venues: New York City’s Madison Square 
Garden. Shining light on what defines the performers and the intense 
effort that goes into their meticulously-staged concerts, this touching 
coming-of-age story is just as much about the growing pains and glory of 
the young artists as it is about their music. Featuring tons of 
incredible music and amazing K-pop cameos, this is the inside look into 
Korea’s popular music scene.
