MISCELLANEOUS * (2013/10/16) Ava Yu Kiu in the Wilson Chin Kwok Wai directed new film LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3) went all out as she had many wild performances. The film two days ago shot on location at a Korean hot spring hotel. Yu Kiu performed her ultimate release with love scenes in the water with her Korean co-star. Although on camera they were fiery hot, but actually due to the already very cold climate in Korea and the location was not an actual hot spring but a swimming pool, Yu Kiu and her co-star were shivering and had to get warm from their embrace! Yu Kiu said that the cold exceeded the nervousness during this shoot. She said, "Constantly going into and out of the water, it really was very cold. However, I saw that he was shaking more than me. He was all pale because it really was too cold. I didn't feel too well from the shoot either, I almost wanted to cry!" Because of their excessive passion, Yu Kiu's waist was red from where he picked hr up. However, she stated that her co-star was great. Anything that could be done with positioning they did. They had some chemistry from the shoot. Because during the shoot Yu Kiu had a few mouthfuls of dirty water, she fell ill later. Yesterday she returned to Hong Kong and a doctor confirmed that she had gastroenteritis! * (2013/10/16) Emperor Motion Picture artist Wai Ying Hung with her excellent acting in the film THE WEDDING DIARY won Malaysia's first Golden Wau Awards for Best Supporting Actress.

The questions and answers are mixed a lot of laughter. However, she also reveals that she has her dark side, emotional upheaval and once under the disturbance of negative thinking. Her experience is very touching but cannot be aired in its entirety on the program. Sinjie mentions her first meeting with Oxide Pang Shun's daughter. When they were just a couple, she met her boyfriend's daughter for the first time. Strangely they did not feel like strangers at all. She was even reluctant to be away from this child and really wanted to take care of her. At the time Sinjie was still very young, and her career was thriving. For a young girl to become Mommy at this time was already not easy, not to mention that the one who she carried the responsibility to take care of was not her own biological daughter. Yet for her boyfriend, she slowed down her work pace. Her love also made herself withstand the pressure. She admitted that for awhile she had emotional upheaval. Luckily she had good friends to talk to. Everyone knew that Sinjie was good friends with Charlie Yeung Choi Nei, Gigi Leung Wing Kei and Valen Hsu (Tsui Yu Wan). They supported each other. When Sinjie felt troubled, Charlie was spiritual counselor and made analyses for her. When she needed comforting, Charlie no matter how far away she was would always run to her side. Their friendship was very valuable. Now Lee Sinjie's husband has affected her and made her even happier and more positive; actually love could drive away negative energy. Also just aired was Teresa Mo Shun Kwan's interview, Luisa Lai Chi San had to thank Glen Lee Lam Yan for his assistance. In the past she had few contacts wit her work, but she was known to be a nice person. Many of her heroic stories have been told. In one story Max Cheung Tat Lun said that in OFF PEDDER (BUT DA JI GEI YUN) he had a scene with Sister Mo with very long dialogues. At the time lacking acting experience, Cheung Tat Lun with his immature acting of course had a lot of pressure. During rehearsal, he felt that he performed poorly and got more and more nervous. Sister Mo sensed that he was tense too, so she gave him a lot of suggestions. Under her attentive guidance they successfully completed the performance. Sister Mo took great care of the younger generation and was willing to lend a helping hand. On the same series, in one scene Aimee Chan Yan Mei and Yun Yi (Joyce Cheng) had a chat and even cried in a touching spot. They ran into a director who was easily frustrated. His specialty was frequently blasting people, sometimes even mixed in foul language and affecting the actors' performance. That day the director kept yelling cut, but asking two girls to cry and cry again was not easy. Sister Mo spoke up for them on the set and said their performance had no problem; she was someone who took care of the next generation like that. When Sister Mo saw which new comers put an effort into work and performed well, she would not hesitate to praise them but also mention their names in front of executives. Although in recent years Sister Mo no longer made television series, she still caught up with her situation series cast. * (2013/10/16) Chapman To Man Jat worked with Japanese adult video actresses in Japan on NAKED AMBITION 2 (HO CHING 2). Yesterday he announced his injury. Ah Jat on facebook posted a photo with a scratch on his chest. He wrote, "Category III film, action scenes, injuries are inevitable......" Ah Jat praised adult video stars to be more professional than many Hong Kong actors. He learned a lot from them and he must respect his own profession even more. As for L Cup Anri Okita she posted her photo with Ah Jat online and praised that he was a handsome, interesting and friendly person. * (2013/10/15) The Chan Hing Ka directed, Louis Koo Tin Lok and Eason Chan Yik Shun starred 2003 category III film NAKED AMBITION (HO CHING) was a critical and commercial hit. After 10 years the sequel NAKED AMBITION 3D (3D HO CHING) finally began production with Chapman To Man Jat, Josie Ho Chiu Yi and a group of Japanese adult video actresses. Ah Jat and Chiu Yi went to Tokyo for location shoots with the team. Playing an adult video actor, To Man Jat even battled the 26 year old adult video actress Anri Okita who has been dubbed "the strongest body of humankind" with her 42L bust! The Chan Hing Ka produced, Lee Kung Lok directed category III film NAKED AMBITION 3D yesterday held a production start ceremony in an adult video film studio in the Saitama Prefecture. Yesterday a scene within a scene was shot. The location constructed a Japan Rail set, in the story adult video director Ah Jat personally performed as Anri Okita seduced him on the train. A dozen or so office ladies looked on. Ah Jat and Okita later will have bed scenes. After the rehearsal Ah Jat posed for photos with the actresses. Okita was able to give her orgasm eyes with ease. Ah Jat's mushroom hair was very funny. After the scene, Ah Jat along with Anri Okita, Chiu Yi, adult video actress Maiko Yuki and Kana Yume, Tyson, Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung and Chan Hing Ka attended the production start ceremony. Yume and Okita prayed in undergarments, Ah Jat even had bananas with the three women. Yume and Okita immediately got professional with the banana eating. When Ah Jat and Okita posed for photos, he deliberately bent down to be on the level with her L busts. Okita pressed Ah Jat's head toward her chest. When Yume shook hands with Ah Jam, Yume shook for half a minute and would not let go. Ah Jat joked, "Did you see her eyes kept blinking when she talked with people, actually her real name is Cheung Kei Fong Din (long term electricity release)." With all the scenes with adult video actresses, was Ah Jat worried about his wife Krystal Tin Yui Nei? Ah Jat joked that his wife would not have time to supervise th shoot. "She has to work until mid November, I will be done by then." 3D NAKED AMBITION will also have three top adult video actresses Nozomi Aso, Tsukasa Aoi, and Yui Tatsumi. "Hand of God" Taka Kato will guest star as Ah Jat's master and teach the Hand of God secret technique. Ah Jat said, "I definitely will learn a trick or two from him." He said that when he was younger he would watch adult videos, in recent years he has watched less. He was still stuck in the Maiko Yuki and Sora Aoi era, a long time passed before he knew his co-star Yume, whose adult video was on top of the DVD chart. As for biological reactions during love scenes, Ah Jat admitted, "It is certain, the human body structure is beyond my control. When we shoot in Hong Kong I would be afraid that the co-star would be embarrassed, but in Japan I would feel if I have no reaction, I would feel that I have done something wrong. As a Hong Konger, from a place of politeness, I should very directly express my respect." L cup Okita has purchased 100 million yen insurance policy on her giant bust, which she stressed was purely natural. She said, "In high school I already had D cups, then they just kept growing. When I run I have to hold my chest with my arms. Japanese guys are very introverted. When they see my figure they wouldn't have any comment, however foreigners are very happy to see me." Maiko Yuki has already left the adult video scene and thus have no love scene. She will play herself. She said, "I wouldn't turn back on my words after saying that I wouldn't make it again." Chiu Yi played a past her prime prostitute who worked in Japan. Although she was not in yesterday's shoot she still attended the ceremony. She even spent several hours on her hardcore costumes in the film. Chiu Yi joked, "The character has no taste, I picked up Ah Jat's clothes too." Will she have bed scenes in the sequel? She said, "I am so much older and I have a family, I wouldn't take so much risk! This time I am responsible for the production." * (2013/10/15) Eva Huang Shengyi earlier worked on the film THE ICEMAN 3D (3D BING FUNG HUP) at Central. She walked around the street for several shots then changed the scenery. Huang Shengyi took advantage of time to shop with her assistant, even tried on shoes without any regard for manners. However after 20 minutes she did not buy anything and went upstairs to rest. Around 11PM she went out again to shoot a chase scene in Soho, in it she left on Jacqueline Chong Si Man's motorcycle to avoid the press. * (2013/10/15) The 28 year old Ava Yu Kiu and her Korean co-star last night worked on LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3) in Seoul on a hot spring hotel love scene. She prepared three sexy undergarments for work and used plenty of tape to prevent wardrobe malfunction in the water. Before hand she even had to drink Korean rice wine for courage. During the shoot they kissed from the pool side to in the pool. He first caressed Yu Kiu then removed her top and almost kissed her all over. He put his head on her chest and they embraced. Yu Kiu said that due to low water temperature, during the shoot they could not stop shivering. "When I got into the water I took a mouthful of water, but I couldn't just spit it into his mouth. I could only swallow it." Yu Kiu said that although they worked on a kiss scene but due to the language barrier they continued to have zero communication about this scene. "I was a little worried and nervous, I could only make up for it with body language. The scene had many different positions, I hoped that every one would be done in one take. This time was the bottom line for me, actually it was just conceptually daring and had no nudity." The team supposedly spent HK$ 500,000 to rent the location for the shoot. Did Yu Kiu give her rumored boyfriend Adason Lo (Law Lik Wai) any advanced warning? She said, "I don't have to make much preparation. Last time I worked with (Alex) Lam Tak Shun. I don't have make special mention about work, he would know from the papers. Instead I told Mommy and Grandma. Last time when they read the papers they thought the scene with Lam Tak Shun was too revealing." In addition, Yu Kiu two days ago shot a slap scene at a local police station and completed it in one take. Jason Chan Pak Yu and Whitney Hui Yik Nei two days ago shot an argument scene in Seoul. He admitted that he and Hui Yik Nei had intimate and kiss scenes. Would his girlfriend be upset? He said, "My girlfriend definitely wouldn't like it, I can only cover her eyes at the movies!"

His biggest reward was a reunion with a secondary school classmate. * (2013/10/15) Diana Pang Tan returned to Hong Kong to promote her produced, written and starred film ON THE NAN NI WAN FRONTIER. In the story she disguised herself as a man to join the military. Pang Tan said that she had a lot of pressure over the performance. This film was shot in remote areas of the Mainland. Pang Tan admitted, "During the 3 months there we had no hot meal, I dropped from 125 to 105 pounds. Although it was tough, everyday I worked with a smile. Thus the entire team called me 'Brother Dan'." She also said that she did not want her figure to be the focus so she donned the disguise. Earlier Pang Tan joined the political scene and became the Gansu political consultant. She said, "After the Gansu earthquake, I immediately brought 400,000 RMB to the disaster area for relief. I hope to be able to help the victim!" * (2013/10/15) Miriam Yeung Chin Wa yesterday worked on her new film DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART 2 (DAN SUN NAM NUI II) with Louis Koo Tin Lok and "Jai Jai" Vic Chou Yu Man in a Sheung Shui mansion. The team celebrated Goo Jai's 43rd birthday on the 21st in advance. Playing a female tycoon in the film, Chin Wa revealed that sh and Goo Jai will have normal couple intimate scenes. Did she have to warn her husband Real Ting Chi Ko in advance? She said, "No! My husband gives me a lot of free space for work. He would only say not to eat so much, he worries that I would become very fat from all the eating." Would Chin Wa consider introducing a girl to Goo Jai as a birthday gift? She shook her hand and head and said, "Never bother me with that! I tried to introduce someone to a friend, in the end I got blame because they weren't suitable. I would rather met more parents and introduce my own son." She pointed out that she has already arranged for her son to attend preschool. A year ago she got on the list to apply for school. Would she include her own autographed photo to increase her son's chances? Chin Wa said, "Artist work instead is a hindrance because many schools want to be more low key." Goo Jai was asked if his birthday wish was to meet a girlfriend? He said that had nothing to do with his age, mainly because he was too busy. However he did not feel that he was pitiful; this year's wish aside from the usual good health was to be able to take time and go on a holiday with his family. Would he deliberately reduce work to fulfill his wish? He said, "I haven't deliberately made arrangements, I admit that I am a workaholic. Yet when I am off I would definitely completely rest and keep my family company. I feel that family is very important, when I have time I have to be with them. Unfortunately work has already been scheduled until next year. Luckily my parents haven't complained. Actually Mother is busier than me. Because she likes to perform Chinese Operas, sometimes she would not be home yet in the middle of the night." * (2013/10/15) TELLING MARIA 2 interviews Veronica Yip Yuk Hing for two episodes.

Two nights ago Shengyi worked alone on the roof of a building near Soho, Central. Wearing a wig, Shengyi stood on the roof and looked around. She often propped her head up with her heads.

Playing a happy rival, Jing Tian had a slap scene, which Chi Tan added. He admitted that at first he was afraid that working with Jing Tian on her first action film would be very difficult, because he hoped that she could play a female cop presence like Michelle Yeoh (Yeung Chi King) in YES MADAM (WONG GA SI JEH).

As the story required, her clothing needed to display her career line. Yu Kiu yesterday posted a sexy photo. Perhaps due to the climate change, she could not help but complain, "Work's done!

Chong Si Man due to her height bumped her head when she got on the bus. She said, "Normally I have very little opportunity to take the bus, mostly I drive myself. When I started modeling I took the bus, but it was the first time I took a bus in high heels. I never thought I would really hit my head!" Speaking on her kiss scene with Sum Chun Hin in the film, she said that the director never yelled cut and made them kiss for a full five seconds without separating. How was he?

I really admire him." * (2013/10/13) Bonnie Xian (Sin Sik Lai) two nights ago attended an event.

She said excitedly, "He and I only had one scene, on the night before the shoot I couldn't sleep! The scene was also my first scene, when I saw Ching Wan I just kept shaking. (Did he tell you to calm down?) No, but he was very calm. I couldn't help but tell him I really like him and wanted a photo with him, he only responded, 'Hmm'. (Was he very cool?) He was a little shy, he probably thought I was crazy because with him I was in an out of body experience." Sin Sik Lai said that she would rest for a week before working on a new film. * (2013/10/13) Over 1,000 of Anita Mui Yim Fong's items were auctioned yesterday. After the 8 hour long bidding, 401 deals were made for a total sum of HK$ 5,310,100. Items included her furniture, stage costumes, gold records and awards. Eric Tsang Chi Wai along with Jacky Cheung Hok Yau, Michael Miu Kiu Wai and others in the name of the fan club successfully won the bid with HK$1.01 million for Ah Mui's 67 awards. Chi Wai said, "Awards are an artist's dignity, they absolutely cannot fall to outside hands." A fan Mr. Lam won the bids for Ah Mui's 11 platinum and gold records as they became the day's highest bid item. Although Mui Yim Fong's awards were saved, other items were divided up. Among 405 lots, 4 had no bid. The total sum passed HK$ 5.3 million as the auction rate reached 99.5%. Because the auction lasted 8 hours, some fans left temporarily for food. Whenever a deal was struck, applause and cheer could often be heard. Some fans complained that for 100 spots, over 300 people were present and made the venue very crowded. Chi Wai who just returned from Vietnam yesterday admitted that "taking action" to save Ah Mui's awards. He said that he received calls from many of Ah Mui's friends and fans who were somewhat worried and hoped to stop the auction. Yet the auction was a legal procedure and could not be stopped. He too felt helpless. "Awards are an artist's dignity, they cannot fall to outside hands. Otherwise it would be quite disrespectful to Ah Mui. They must be the goals of our bid, originally everyone intended on bidding on the awards themselves, later after I met with Cheung Hok Yau, (William) So Wing Hong, Miu Kiu Wai and others we decided that the fan club president would bid for them all at once. Everyone's understanding was to get back all of Ah Mui's awards, platinum and gold records. Finally all 67 awards were saved as was Ah Mui's dignity, which put everyone more at ease. As for how the awards would be saved, whether they will be at the Performing Artist Guild or on display elsewhere, we will meet one week later and decide." Chi Wai revealed that the 10th anniversary of Ah Mui's death will be at the end of the year, memorial events will be planned and he hoped the awards will be on display then so everyone would remember Ah Mui's achievements. Winning the bid with HK$ 600,000 for Ah Mui's 11 gold and platinum records, Mr. Lam claimed to be a fan but not a fan club member. He said, "The auction atmosphere was pretty heated. Fans were very thoughtful, I only bid when I saw fans held back. I will consider donating them for display purposes as needed in the future." The gold and platinum record was the "lost treasure" that the fan club did not win. Anita Mui International Fan Club president Ms. So said that for now those records were her regret, but she already received the contact information of the bid winner and hoped in the future that she would be able to donate him to donate the items for display. Ms. So said that Chi Wai called her in hopes of bidding of their behalf, but they did not set a price. They only said that the awards were must have and they were also interested in old photos or stage costumes. She said, "I bought accessories and glasses myself. The stage costume competition was more fierce, especially costumes that appeared in concerts. For now the biggest headache is the items have to be picked up in 3 days. A Mainland fan won the bed and I have to find a way to store and transport it to the Mainland. (Eddie) Lau Pui Kei's heart ached over the bed being auctioned off? Of course, but it is better for a fan to win it than other people." The calligraphy that Andy Lau Tak Wa personally wrote for Mui Yim Fong yesterday was auctioned. Originally a priceless treasure of friendship, it went for HK$ 440,000 in the end. When Mrs. Charles Heung Wa Keung learned that Andy Lau Tak Wa's calligraphy had a base bid of HK$ 500, her heart ached. She asked a friend to bid for her but in the end was unable to win it. However she was happy that the calligraphy went to someone who was destined to have it. Mrs. Heung at first only did not want it to be undervalued, now it is in the collection of someone who would cherish it, she already felt at ease. Every bidder who entered the auction had to pay a HK$ 50,000 down payment. Among the 405 lots, 4 went without a bid. The auction rate was 99.5%. The entire venue was filled with bidders, most were Mui fans. Some were Mainland buyers and business people. The bidding was rather fierce. Ah Mui's concert costumes and photos, awards became the main targets. Yet most of the accessories went only slightly higher than the bottom bid. What made Ah Mui's friend Eddie Lau Pui Kei's heart ached the most was even the bed had to auction, because it was his final birthday gift to Ah Mui. The bed went for HK$ 12,000. Ah Mui also liked the Beckham autographed soccer ball, which went for HK$ 90,000. A sofa with Ah Mui and Beckham pillows went for HK$ 10,000. The dinner table including six chairs only went for HK$ 500. Uncle Ng who won a bid said about his idol's items being auctioned everywhere. "Ah Mui was a singing and performing art superstar, I really want to preserve her items to remember her by. When I hear Ah Mui's songs, it's like she is still here." * (2013/10/13) Alex Lam Tak Shun and Jeana Ho Pui Yim yesterday attended a fashion event. They revealed that they just completed a bed scene for their film LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3). After Ava Yu Kiu, Lam Tak Shun said that he still had to drink for courage before the shoot. However this time it made matters worse. Because work started very early, he drank before he even had breakfast and got drunk. He could not deliver the only line in the scene. As he was waiting for the shoot he even fell asleep. Jeana complained about his prickly stubble last time, this time he shaved in preparation. How did this time feel? Jeana could not help but praised, "Licking my chops, yummy!" * (2013/10/13) Carina Lau Ka Ling two nights ago received a cover girl award. Speaking of her husband Tony Leung Chiu Wai's Golden Horse Award Best Actor nomination with THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI), Ka Ling was fully confident. "If I have time I will go with Wai Jai. THE GRANDMASTERS has a lot of nominations, it should make a killing! (Are you confident about Wai Jai?) I am a fan of Wong Kar Wai and Wai Jai." Ka Ling asked about the Best Actor nominees, speaking of COLD WAR (HONG JING)'s Tony Leung Chiu Wai and UNBEATABLE (GIK JIN)'s Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Ka Ling joked, "What about YEH JIN (WILDERNESS BATTLE, slang for outdoor sex)? It would be great if I was on the jury, I definitely would give it to Leung Chiu Wai! Originally Leung Ka Fai would win Best Actor for sure, I really like his COLD WAR performance. Unfortunately he runs into Tony Leung......Chiu Wai, Ka Fai is out of luck." A magazine claimed that Ka Ling and Wai Jai argued, and Wai Jai complained to his friend Berg Ng Ting Yip. Ka Ling said, "Just think about what happened, how could they hear what they said? They are always going to the movies and dinners." As for Wai Jai completing his Zen mediation and returning to Hong Kong, Ka Ling said that she was not Wai Jai and Faye Wong's spokesperson and would not answer questions for them. She said, "I am very envious, I have to try Zen mediation once. Now I can be alone, I am not afraid of boredom, I am very free by myself." Speaking of Anita Mui Yim Fong's items being auctioned to the public and many valuable items had a base bid of HK$ 500, Ka Ling could not help but say, "It's very hard to say. I am her friend, I feel items can be preserved. For such a low price they won't stay on the market, I don't know if fans will cherish them." Ka Ling felt that a museum should be erected for Ah Mui to display her items. "HK$ 500 base bid is too low, when I heard it I felt uneasy." * (2013/10/13) The Taiwan Golden Horse Award reaches its 50th anniversary this year.

She spoke about not detecting her late friend Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing's depression earlier and felt that she owed him. "I should haven't spread the gospel to him sooner and actively took him to church. Yet at that time he seemed to have shut the back door, which made me avoid the subject." Mo Shun Kwan recalled Gor Gor asked her to meet after the disorder. When she saw Gor Gor she already knew that it was a big deal. Gor Gor's hands were shaking sharply. "Gor Gor suddenly said to me, if he died he wanted me to hold a Christian ceremony for him." After the news of Gor Gor's death surprised him, Gor Gor's words lingered in her mind. She thought, "This was his final wish, who should I tell this to?" She went through a lot of trouble to tell those around Gor Gor, but unfortunately the funeral was not a Christian ceremony. "I feel the kind of ceremony is unimportant; although I have hoped to fulfill Gor Gor's wish very much, I wanted even more for those around him not to be too sad about it." Mo Shun Kwan said that Gor Gor had a fear of heights. He chose to end his life with what he was afraid of the most, which obviously showed how much pain he was in. * (2013/10/13) Chrissie Chau Sau Na recently is working on a film in Qingdao.

However she was confident. "I have never thought that Taiwan would recognize a filmmaker like me, later when I go I will bring this nomination list to be cremated together." Chin Siu Ho said that the film RIGOR MORTIS (GEUNG SI) will hold its Taiwan premiere on November 8, the anniversary of Lam Ching Ying and Ricky Hui Koon Ying's deaths. He pointed out that director Juno Mak Chun Lung was very thoughtful, saluting the two elders in the end credits. He also felt bad for his co-star Nina Paw Hee Ching for not receiving a Golden Horse Award nomination as he felt that she was a god class actress. * (2013/10/12) Yesterday a dozen or protesters gathered outside film professional Daneil Lam Siu Ming's company with banners, then they marched with six cargo vans toward the government headquarters. Wang Fat Film Production started this protest. "The matter involves film copyrights being illegal sold to Mainland video sites. We have several film copyrights that were not sold but appeared on many Mainland video sites. We hope the government will investigate thoroughly." Lam Siu Ming was asked about the matter. "Actually we have purchased film from him before, but the period has expired. After the contract ended we already stopped distribution. If I have violated copyrights then sue me. If not then there is no point in something something so immature. Hong Kong has laws." * (2013/10/12) As the current "Hong Kong Kung Fu Grand Master", Donnie Yen Chi felt that he had a sense of mission. He could not just look at money, sometimes when he risked his life he instead would hear it was more trouble than it was worth, yet he still accepted everything fully. Obviously he was still full of passion for the film industry. Earlier when he made a movie he attracted piles of problems, yet Chi Tan treated them like a type of emotional quotient training. He deeply believed that nothing could not be toughed out. He only hoped that everyone would recognize that he too was an ordinary person and not a god. "To the "Strongest in the Universe" title, honestly I am not resistant. However I hope everyone would not think that I have a halo over my head. I often teach my own children to have their feet firmly on the ground, love the community, family and cherish everything in front of them are already enough. The only thing special that I am proud of, I believe, is my personal will power!" "For example when I made IP MAN, all the action scenes gave my right arm a lot of pain. I couldn't help but suggest to the action choreographer (Sammo) Hung Kam Bo to move the fighting to the left arm. However when I took my mark I could be just fine. Or when I made THE MONKEY KING (DAI LAU TIN GUNG), everyday before work make up took several hours. I would already be very tired. All the hair on my face was inconvenient too. At meals I could only watch others savor theirs. I lived such inhuman life for several months. Finally the film was completed successfully. Actually in my heart, nothing can't be toughed out!" "Publications often make a big deal out of my income. Actually as a filmmaker, I only toil for 31 years because I love this art. When a good friend (Alex) Wong Hoi Fung introduced my new film SPECIAL ID (DUT SHU SUN FUN) boss to me, after the film successfully started a series of problems arose. At the time I only had two choices in front of me, either I also produce and write the story anew or the team disbands and the production is scrapped. At the time I thought, all I had to say was no and over a hundred industry elites would suddenly become 'unemployed'. Perhaps everyone would feel I was dumb or made more trouble then it was worth, but I very soon agreed to take over. Finally it led to big trouble, which was also not what I expected." "I still remember years ago when (Peter) Chan Ho Sun asked me to shoot the BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS (SUP YUT WAI SING) major fight scene again, I agreed and volunteered without any hesitation. Even though in the end the film was nominated for Best Action Choreography my name was not included, I didn't mind. Being able to do my part for the Hong Kong film industry, I felt a sense of duty and it also felt natural." "The SPECIAL ID production can be described as emotionally and physically draining with negative criticism (Chi Tan asks Vincent Zhao Wenzhou to perform. He finally resigned. Many afterward left messages online to attack Chi Tan and industry insiders who supported him). Looking back I saw it as a intelligence and emotional quotient training. The bottom line is time is the best proof of truth. I believe heaven is watching what people are doing. As the internet opens up more and more, everyone enjoys freedom of speech too much. On a certain level it also creates a type of internet violence." "Yet, everything has two sides. Someone's sudden resignation not only made me ask (Andy) On Chi Kit to substitute in but also opened my eyes to this up and coming talent. I feel that he has a lot of potential to be "Current action film successor". For action film productions now, actors not only have to fight but also act. He has all the qualities and is a good actor who does the job. If you force me to answer what he is missing from becoming a star, timing, location and people. When it is your turns you can't escape it no matter what. For example, I had to perform until age 40 to have a character that received audience recognition and agreement. Since he doesn't have a rich dad to open a film company and push him, I feel taking one step at a time slowly isn't a bad thing either." Chi Tan appreciates very much the Hong Kong filmmaker unity and is proud of it. As for the film industry, he has always held high expectations. Recently he even established his own film company to produce some subjects that interest him. For example his company's first film GAU LUNG SING JAI (KOWLOON WALLED CITY) will start production early next year. Aside from his love of film, Chi tan loves his family just as much. After starting his own film company, would he have more time to stay in Hong Kong to work and be with his family? As he talked, he smiled from the heart and said, "At least after work I can have dinner at home." All tenderhearted tough guys are perhaps like this! * (2013/10/12) Simon Yam Tat Wa and his wife Qi Qi two nights ago attended a Paul Smith concept store opening party. Avid photographer Yam Tat Wa met Sir Paul Smith for the first time and presented his photograph collection FIVE SEASONS to him as a gift.

Afterward Qi Qi complaint that he took too many risks. Their daughter also said that Papa was disobedient and demanded him to stand for 10 minutes as punishment; he helplessly said that actors needed stimulation in order to improve. * (2013/10/12) Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Juno Mak Chun Lun and Irene Wan Bik Ha yesterday attended the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival 2013 press conference.

Cheung Ka Fai on the stage made fun of THE WHITE STORM's boss Daneil Lam Siu Ming for having a second spring. Lam Siu Ming asked Ka Fai if he witnessed it? Ka Fai pointed out that he learned about it from publications. Ka Fai revealed that while shooting in Thailand he was hanging off a cliff on wires. After the shoot, Goo Jai and Ching Wan perhaps were frightened. Goo Jai brought him beer while Ching Wan brought him a cigarette. He joked, "Actually I didn't need anything, but seeing how they were I thought they were very funny and very cute. My heart was warmed as well." He joked that he needed to have more money. They might have chance to compete for the Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor next year. When asked to yield to Goo Jai and Ching Wan, Ka Fai felt that would be disrespectful and said that they had no chance. BOUNDLESS: JOHNNIE FILM'S FILM WORLD and the Irene Wan Bik Ha invested and starred MAY WE CHAT (MEI GAU SIU NUI) will also be screened at the film festival. Wan Bik Ha praised the new actress who played her on screen daughter as professional. Even though she did not know how to smoke she kept inhaling and exhaling until she was dizzy and nauseous; looking back when she made her first film LONELY FIFTEEN (LAN MUI JAI), she had no idea what acting was either and was rather dorky. * (2013/10/11) Anita Mui Fong would have turned 50th on October 10.

Although the late heaven queen has passed away for 10 years, her family and fans missed her nonetheless. Mother and Brother Mui today will take their respect to Ah Mui today at the Po Lin Monastery. Fans will gather tonight at the Tsim Sha Tsui Avenue of Stars to send their well wishes to their idol.

In addition, Ah Mui's international fan club in the afternoon will its respect at the Shang Sin Chun Tong in Kowloon Tong and at night will host the 2013 banquet where two Ah Mui concert costumes will be on display. On December 30 2003, superstar of a generation Mui Yim Fong succumbed to cancer at the age of 40. Today would have been Sister Mui's birthday. Friend and official costume designer Eddie Lau Pui Kei lightly wept as he started to recall the numerous birthdays that he and Sister Mui spent together. Yet every years he seemed to be absent at Sister Mui's birthday. "Because she was outrageously late, 3 or 4 hours late were very usual. Truly at any minute dinner would turn into a late night meal." Yet at the year of her passing in 2003, An Mui invited all of her friends to her home to celebrate her final birthday. That night Tony Leung Ka Fai, Cherie Chung Chor Hung, Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi, disciple Denise Ho Wan Si and Ah Mui's god mother attended. Eddie said, "That year due to her poor health, everyone asked her not to drink." Eddie sighed and continued, "When she cut the cake her final word was cherish those around you. I never expected that she would say that. The so called life and death parting was felt from no more than one person's unknowing words. The storm was on the way and everyone suffered. Later her tears just kept coming." Mui Yim Fong's disciples Denise Ho wan Si and the Grasshoppers' Calvin Choy Yat Chi, Remus Choy Yat Kit and Edmond So Chi Wai all remembered their late mentor. Ah Si said that over the ten years with her mentor, sometimes she would have a little sorrow in her memory. "Yet as I started to grow up, I have learned to face some things. She doesn't have to worry about us." The Grasshoppers recalled when they performed overseas with their mentor, each time they would become little fans. Their mentor's position in their hearts could never be replaced. Ah Mui's disciple Patrick Tam Yiu Man said that although Ah Mui has passed away for years, her undying stage spirit has been useful for a lifetime. She even taught her to face challenges bravely in his career. In the end he successfully won the "best performance award" on the Mainland program LET'S SHAKE IT, broke into the Mainland market and develop film and television work. Anthony Lun Wai Lun who has known Mui Yim Fong for 20 years. Anthony said that Sister Mui was a heroine. "Aside from being close friends privately, she has helped me a lot in my career. She also made me her concert director. When I performed she came to be my guest and even refused to accept any money. HEART REMAINS COLD was a solo song that I have written for her from the start, but I believed that she very deliberately asked me to sing it with her because she knew that the duet would help my career a lot. In the end this song was my own Top Ten Gold Song." Sister Mui aside from helping the younger generations and friends also cared a lot of strangers. Anthony recalled, "One year, I forgot whether it was on New Year's Eve or Christmas, she and the Grasshoppers bought over 200 cotton blankets and at midnight they personally went to the Star Ferry pier to tuck in the homeless. I guess she wanted to be Santa Claus. The funniest part was she said the homeless drove them away, saying that they didn't know them." Ben Lam Kwok Bun was Ah Mui's old flame. During the interview he admitted, "I hesitated for two days, I was the most afraid that people would think I am promoting myself with the old relationship. I kept thinking over and over. It was ten years ago. I should express it in a way as a memory of Ah Mui." He said with endless lament. "We got to know each other between 1985 and 1986, moved in together in 1990, and broke up in 1993. Ah Mui was a very kind, very loyal girl. One night on the way home, a car cut us off and gave us the finger. I got out of the car to argue, two 6 foot tall drunk foreigners came out. When I looked back at Ah Mui, she already brought out a baseball bat from the car. The foreigners saw and immediately ducked back into their car. At the time I thought, 'Great! Really gutsy'. The woman that I knew truly was not afraid of death." Ben admitted that Ah Mui had a trick that he had to submit to, "hunger strike". As long as Ben did not come home, she could go on a hunger strike for 2 days. Since the karaoke slap incident, the film industry got bloody in an unprecedented way. Ah Mui was innocently swept into a mob hit. Ben accompanied her everywhere. That half a year were their sweetest days. Ah Mui decided to leave the stage as they planned to spend their lives together. "Why did we break up? For awhile, we argued over something very minor. We were very hurt and very afraid of hurting the other. I moved back to my home and drank all day and night. one night at home alone with several dogs and the walls, I actually had tears in the corner of my eyes, as I would rather to have someone who would argue with me." Ben knew about Ah Mui's illness. When her sister Anna Mui Oi Fong passed away she wanted to make up, but at the time he already had a girlfriend. "Today, I feel very guilty. If she was my girlfriend I would take her to the doctor. Yet the past is in the past. The month before she passed away, I couldn't contact her. Then a friend told me that Ah Mui was at the hospital. I rushed over to see her one last time. Unfortunately she has been in a coma for a long time and I could see her for the last time. I never would have guessed that this would be the ending!" * (2013/10/10) The Taiwan Golden Horse Committee announced this year's most elegant and most fantastic unit, the special tailored limited edition Encounters with Masters series will feature nine directors and Chinese film industry masters Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Ang Lee, Tsai Ming-Laing, Ann Hui On Wa, Stanley Kwan Kam Peng, Johnnie To Kei Fung, Peter Chan Ho Sun, Lou Ye, and Jia Zhangke.

Lam Fung and Tsui Tsz Shan denied the rumor. Lam Fung said, "When Tsz Shan and I worked together on this film, she hasn't arrived yet. Honestly, from the beginning to the end I worried about Tsz Shan because Tsz Shan is not a strong swimmer and says that she doesn't know how to open her eyes to underwater and perform." Lam Fung pointed out that he and Tsui Tsz Shan after the kiss surfaced above water, Ng Chin Yu appeared in the film. It was another scene and Chin Wa absolutely never came to supervise. He also said, "Is she nuts? Coming to a shoot that she is not a part of, she's better off going home and sleeping." Tsui Tsz Shan said that the story required Chin Wa to be present, but she would not see her until she was above water. She did not feel unnatural and even deliberately pretended not to see her. * (2013/10/10) Jessica C., Candy Yuen Ka Man and Philip Ng Won Lung yesterday attended a new film ZOMBIE FIGHT CLUB's press conference.

In the film she had to fight zombies so she would have to get into even better shape. She said that her sexiness will be different from normal as she will be closer to Angelina Jolie. JC talked about an attempted rape scene. "In the film a bad guy wants to do something bad to me, I will try to protect myself. (Did you warn your boyfriend?) I told him that I will be making a zombie movie but I didn't tell him the details. (Are you afraid that the rape scene will upset him?) I think he will respect me. Hopefully after the release he will still be my boyfriend, he probably will be." Ng Won Lung said that he and his good friend Andy Tien (On Chi Kit) have wanted to make a zombie film, this time they finally can perform together. Speaking of his girlfriend Linda Chung Ka Yun's on set injury, he said, "Luckily she only has superficial wounds. That day I was at work too.

UPCOMING MOVIES Korean Movie Night 2013 Series Five Remembering Park Cheol Soo: A Korean Filmmaking Legend When prolific Korean director Park Cheol Soo died earlier this year after being hit by a drunk driver, film fans around the world took solace in the fact that while he was gone, his amazing, truly independent masterpieces would live on forever. As huge fans of his work, the Korean Cultural Service pays tribute to this amazing man by offering up three of his most acclaimed films. Park Cheol Soo led the Korean wave throughout the late 90s, influenced by the time he spent in Manhattan and the indie film scene here. Having popularized Korean cinema worldwide, he also discovered Kim Ki Duk who has changed our perception of Asian film. Taken from us well too soon, Korean Movie Night celebrates the life of Park Cheol Soo starting October 1st...delivering three films guaranteed to move you like never before. As Autumn tugs at the leaves from Manhattan’s trees and the days become short, warm yourself with the memory of Park Cheol Soo and his cinematic masterpieces – brought to you for free, as always, by your friends at The Korean Cultural Service. Tuesday, October 29, 2013 @ 7PM B.E.D. (North American Premiere, 2012, 90 mins.) In the last film he lived to see released, director Park Cheol Soo explores human obsessive desire for sex. Based on a short novel of the same name, B.E.D. is told through the eyes of the three main characters, whose joy, passion, despair and death overflow into one bed. The man B. has an affair with a bored married woman E., who eventually dumps him. In order to get over E., B. marries D., a divorcee with a small daughter, but still keeps the bed in which he made love with E. His obsession with E. never goes away, as he attempts to get her back. --- [ WHAT IS YOUR CHAFFING EDITOR LISTENING TO ] BRAVE Sara Bareilles http://youtu.be/QUQsqBqxoR4 ---------------------- HK Top Ten Central hktopten@hotmail.com http://hktopten.orgfree.com | http://hktopten.blogspot.com
