Vic Chou Yu Man's motorcycle ride with DaDa Chan Jing was a hot topic online. DaDa admitted that during the shoot Jai Jai felt pressure due to the safety question, as he kept telling her to hold on tight. He was very attentive. Chan Jing with VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET) won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actress. From suddenly retiring to returning to the screen, she had a clear goal. She wanted to be an actor with soul. Reducing production in recent years, Chan Jing tomorrow will have 2 film releases at once. In the film S STORM (FUNG BO), DaDa worked with 3 hunks Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Vic Chou and Louis Koo Tin Lok. Playing a beer girl, DaDa said that she had a love hate relationship with "brother" Cheung Chi Lam and performed A MOMENT OF ROMANCE style motorcycle scene with the lone killer Jai Jai. Chan Jing said, "At first when the company told me that I would work with Cheung Chi Lam and Chou Yu Man I was very excited, but people around me were more excited than me. For example my sister volunteered to bring tongshui, and I was able to reap some of the benefits. The most memorable was in one scene Jai Jai crisscrossed the busy city streets on a motorcycle. Jai Jai was very attentive as he kept telling me to hold on tight to him. Jai Jai really knew how to take care of people and provided me with quite a sense of security." In the film DaDa played sister and brother with Cheung Chi Lam. With her first on screen family relationship, she was full of emotions and was able to cry on cue. She was able to easily move the audience. "In the film I already was born to a small family and really admired my top student brother. Yet after becoming a cop he became a gambling addict and ruined the family. I hated him to the core, at age 15 I dropped out of school and became a beer girl. Later I ran into him at a bar, had to grab, scream at and hit Cheung Chi Lam like crazy. The emotions were very complex. The scene to me was really memorable. At the time I really couldn't get into the character. All thanks to Chi Lam's patience and helping hand I was able to finish the scene." In the film DaDa and Chou Yu Man had a mirage of romance. In real life as a sex goddess of the generation she should have a lot of suitors. Actually DaDa had a significant other who broke her heart, so for now she had no intention to date. She used to wish that she would be able to get married at age 26 and have a child a year later, now she prefers to play with her sister's baby as that would be more fun. "I am very weak in relationships, I don't really know what I want so I would try first. When my friends say this guy is good, I would give him a try. I ran into a more chauvinist guy, I would suffering a lot because I was more stubborn. I have also been dated a guy who did everything I said and put me first with everything, but I didn't like it. I didn't want to be a HK woman and had to be in charge of everything. Now I am single, I have no intention to date for now. I would rather spend time on work. This year I communicated with the company, I might not take any sexy scene since I don't want to repeat similar characters. I know if I keep playing more daring characters, next time when everyone thinks of those sexy characters they would ask you. I may be able to make money but I would lose a lot of other opportunities. So I would rather spend more time resting and waiting for a good character because my future goal is clear. I want to be an actor with soul." * (2016/09/14) MCDULL THE RISE OF THE RICE COOKER will open tomorrow on Mid Autumn Festival. This time the film continued to feature Sandra Ng Kwan Yu as the voice of Mrs. Mak. Not only many Hong Kong people grew up with McDull, but Kwan Yu also had a major life event with him -- the birth of her daughter. Providing her voice to Mrs. Mak since the first McDull film, Kwan Yu was asked her impression of Mrs. Mak until now. She said, "Mrs. Mak was well educated, neither came from a rich family nor had a lot of money. However she was a great role model, showing the audience how she loved her son." In the film a monster suddenly attacked Earth, the superhero who came to the rescue was defeated. Earth was in a panic and could only call for an emergency robot design to create the strongest robot for the battle! McDull lacked resources, only had the cheap homehold electronics around him; however he was full of passion and enthusiasm. In order to raise the funding, Mrs. Mak worked like crazy. With the support of the principal and everyone, McDull finally was able to bring his rice cooker to the competition. Rice cooker looked dumb and was short of features, but its endurance was curiously long. In the fierce competitions with cheap shots galore, it even stumbled its way to victory. The hope of the entire earth rested on McDull and the rice cooker. * (2016/09/13) Yesterday would have been "Gor Gor" Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing's 60th birthday. "Gor Gor's" former managr Chan Suk Fun and her son Chan Ka Ho, "Gor Gor's" friends Mrs. Chang Cheh, Lin Yim Fai and "Gor Gor's" former assistant Kenneth along with over a thousand "Gor" fans from around the world went to Po Fook Hill with birthday cake, fruits, origami cranes, flowers, desserts, cards, papier mache mansions, watches, skin care products and offerings to celebrate "Gor Gor's" birthday. The LesFanmily club song DEAR LESLIE yesterday premiered at midnight. Mrs. Chan brought this song to Po Fook Hill to share with "Gor" fans and to present to "Gor Gor" as a birthday gift. "Gor" fans listened to the song that spoke from their hearts while lining up to present flowers to "Gor Gor". Everyone sincerely celebrated with "Gor Gor". The Japanese "Gor" fans as usual folded origami cranes as gifts to "Gor Gor" and personally brought them to Po Fook Hill. 912 red and gold origami cranes represented good luck. Red was not only "Gor Gor's" favorite color but also a representation of "Gor" fans' burning and unchanging hearts for "Gor Gor". Last night Chan Suk Fun also led "Gor" fans to a "Gor Gor" memorial event at the Central Harbor Front Event Space. * (2016/09/13) The film S STORM (S FUNG BO) yesterday held a Beijing premiere. Producer Raymond Wong Pak Ming, director David Lam Tak Lun led actors Louis Koo Tin Lok, Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Ada Choi Siu Fun and Bowie Lam Bo Yi at the appearance. Everyone shared their personal production experience on the stage. Playing the top Independent Commission Against Corruption investigation supervisor, Goo Jai felt that this film had particularly many emotional scenes that could challenge his acting. As for the gambling addict cop Cheung Chi Lam, he in the film went against his usual Greek God image and had a lot of acting fun. In the film they have a lot of scenes against each other, which were one of the film's selling point. Although the film was "strong on the masculine side", Ada in the film stole the spotlight. However the known to be mischievous Goo Jai revealed that she and Lam Bo Yi had a scene, in which she kept having bad takes. Ada explained that because she had two daughters her memory was worse than before. The event arranged for actors to pick up prop guns and shoot targets with the words like "gluttonous", "fun loving", "sleepy", "excessive drinking", "excessive shopping", "greedy", "lusty". Chi Lam chose "fun loving", Ada chose "gluttonous". Which one did Goo Jai choose? He said, "I like anti greed, today I am here to promote that." As for "Jai Jai "Vic Chou Yu Man who had "good news" and was unable to take time to fly to Beijing to promote the film, he shot a video for the film not only to introduce his character in the film but also apologized for unable to promote the film in person. He hoped the film would be able to have good box office. After watching the several minute long video, Chilam suddenly said, "I feel very touched. During the shoot he didn't say much. Yet he recorded a video with so much to say to everyone." * (2016/09/12) TVB this year crowned both Miss Hong Kong and Mr. Hong Kong on the same night for the first time ever. Ten Miss Hong Kong candidates and four Mr. Hong Kong finalists after last night's series of competition were chosen from a general vote. This year's Miss Hong Kong is the 22 year old favorite, contestant 6 Crystal Fung Ying Ying, first and second runner up are the 19 year old contestant 2 Tiffany Lau Wing Shuen and the 26 year old contestant 7 Bonnie Chan Nga Sze. Lau Wing Suen also won Miss Photogenic. Earlier contestants chose Miss Congeniality Bowie Cheung Bo Yi. The fresh out of the oven Mr. Hong Kong is the 30 year old contestant 4 Jackson Lai Chun Wa, the first and second runner are the 19 year old contestant 9 Karl Ting Chi Long and the 27 year old contestant 1 Freeyon Chung Kwan Cheung. This year's Miss Hong Kong hosts were Carol Cheng Yui Ling, Nat Chan Pak Cheung, Bob Lam Sing Bun and Fama. The absence of veteran Miss Hong Kong host Eric Tsang Chi Wai might have left some viewers a little lost. This year the event used an all new contest standard as viewers vote through the TVBfun app along with a group of celebrity judges and event jury to select the final four Miss Hong Kong contestants and the final four Mr. Hong Kong contestants from two nights ago. Then the 100% general vote selected the winners. Last year's Miss Hong Kong Louisa Mak Ming Sze opened the show with a ballet troupe as she danced in mid air on wires. Then the ten contestants appeared in evening gown and opened the show with ten Mr. Hong Kong contestants. The most special part was th contestants competing for eight on screen contracts. The contestants had 15 seconds to campaign for votes. Contestant 3 Cheung Bo Yi received a contract to host a travel program with Benjamin Yuen Wai Ho and a "reality hellish travel program" with Tony Hung Wing Sing. Also receiving two contracts was contestant 6 Fung Ying Ying. Maria Cordero chose her to be the "heavyweight food program host" and the "50th TVB anniversary show host". Nancy Wu Ting Yan and Ruco Chan Chin Pang chose contestants 4 Daisy Dai for "television series character", Fred Cheng Chun Won chose contestant 5 Andrea So Wen Chi to be "music video star" and contestant 7 Chan Nga Sze became a "skin care product commercial" spokesmodel. The final vote count reached 233,394 votes. Contestant 6 Fung Ying Ying with 36,679 viewer votes won the Miss Hong Kong crown; contestant 4 Lai Chun Wa with 44,420 took the Mr. Hong Kong throne. * (2016/09/12) Leo Ku Kui Kei and Louis Koo Tin Lok in honor of "Gor Gor" Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing's 60th birthday performed together for the first time Gor Gor's classic hit PAST LOVE. They only found a valuable photo from their past and bought the film right to A BETTER TOMORROW (YING HUNG BOON SIK) for the music video, which will be released online at midnight on the 12th. Gei Jai said that he was thinner and more handsome than before, while Goo Jai was more tan and cooler. Goo Jai said that returning to the recording studio after over a decade felt toughing than acting. Gor Gor back then praised them by name, which enabled them to work together this time. * (2016/09/12) Danny Chan Fans Club two nights ago held a ceremony. Danny Chan Pak Keung's father Chan Pang Fei, sister Chan Siu Yi, brother Chan Pak Ling and god father attended. Fennie Yuen Kit Ying, Connie Chan Bo Chu and Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) also showed their support. The fan club has officially been registered as a non profit organization and will organize different events to spread Danny's music and story. Yuen Kit Ying said that Chan Pak Keung was her idol, she was the happiest about him being a friend at the same time. "The most memorable was when he was a surprise guest at my birthday party. He not only presented himself as the gift but also brought a present, a scarf. I was lucky to get into the business and had a chance to come in contact with him. I also became a friend and went to his home, as a fan I was already very rich. (Which song was your favorite?) Too many, I prefer his non plug songs. I remember the most when he just released STARE, I listened to it from the beginning to the end right away. That night I ran into him, I praised his NO WAY TO CONTINUE FATE, he was very suspicious of whether I really listened to it and asked me on which side of the record and which number was the song on. I answered Side A fifth song. He was very happy and I proved that I wasn't just talk!" Was it very hard to find another male singer of this class? Yuen Kit Ying said, "I am very faithful, for years he has been my only singer idol. Of course, I listened to other singers but he was only one I fantasized about dating. (Did you ever tell him that?) I didn't dare. After we got to know each other I only dared to observe from afar. When we sat at the same table my heart would pound; if I told him, he wouldn't be my friend anymore. When he knew that I was a fan he would mess with me too and deliberately made me feel jealous, but I also turned very cool." * (2016/09/11) Artists Pakho Chau, Andrew Lam Man Chung, Eva Chan Sze Wai, Babyjohn Choi Hong Yik and Bob Lam Sing Bun two nights ago worked on their new film THE SINKING CITY (SAI FONG GIK LOK ji TAI BAU TAI JI TAI HUNG CHONG) in Journey to the West character costumes. Pakho was dressed as the "dragon horse", Chan Sze Wai as the "goddess of mercy", Choi Hong Yik as "Sun Wukong", Lam Man Chung as "the Venerable Tang Monk" and Lam Sing Bun as "the Sand Monk". Pakho's hair looked just the Pokemon Pidgeotto. In white fur he even said he was "itchy all over". "In the story we went to Sukhavati, but the furry costume gave both my nose and mouth quite a reaction." Did his character need to carry "the venerable Tang Monk" Lam Man Chung? He admitted that he did not but said the Ah Chung has played pranks on the entire team. "He doesn't just play pranks on me, but the entire team. For example he would improvise his lines and sing dirty songs." Speaking of not playing handsome this time, Pakho said that did not matter because he would play any character. In her first film Chan Sze Wai said that the "goddess of mercy" make up took 5 hours. Her wig hurt her neck. This time she even became gentler for her character. "I am more active. After the team asked me to change into costume I had to become more reserved. As an deity I can't be so foul mouthed." Choi Hong Yik said that in order to transform into Wukong, the crew "hog tied" him. "Thy said that Wukong had a lot of chains, the costume made me immobile. (Would you move around like Wukong?) I am even on the wires, but this costume also feels like being on the wires!" * (2016/09/11) The director Clifton Ko Chi Sum produced musical TERESA THE MUSICAL two nights ago held a charity night. He also revealed that he had a pleasant experience with his film MISS SUNSHINE (SING NUI KEI YUEN)'s actors Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Alex Fong Lik Sun, Annie Liu (Lau Sum Yau) and Maggie Cheung Ho Yi. Did he see either Cheung Kai Chung or Fong Lik Sun becoming Stephen Chow Sing Chi's successor? He said, "I like Cheung Kai Chung. Fong Lik Sun has made quite a breakthrough as well, very Hugh Grant!" * (2016/09/11) Fiona Sit Hoi Kei yesterday was the opening ceremony guest for the late superstar Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing's large scale exhibit LESLIE CHEUNG 60TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION: LESLIE CHEUNG MUSIC ART EXHIBITION. "Gor Gor" Cheung Kwok Wing's past record releases, his contract with Capital Artist records and the never before seen PILOT'S WIND BREAKER music video were on display. Star "Gor Gor fan" Fiona not only had all of Cheung Kwok Wing's record but also attended all the concerts she could. The most regrettable was when she started in the business it was the year of Gor Gor's passing, and she never had a chance to work with her idol. Fiona said to the media as soon as she arrived yesterday, "Welcome to my husband's home. In my lifetime I only have one idol -- Gor Gor. I watched his concerts ten times without getting tired. I have all of his records. The most memorable was RED, which both my parents and I liked to listen to. In order not to fight over it, we bought three copies." Because Fiona started in the business the year Gor Gor passed away, she fantasized about singing with him on the stage. "So no matter how small the concert was I would sing one of Gor Gor's song. Each time I sang his songs I would feel very happy, but also a little heartache." Fiona even said that two nights ago she played Gor Gor's new record at home and sang along with a bluetooth wireless microphone. She said that she grew up with Gor Gor's record. As for how she would remember Gor Gor on his birthday, Fiona said that every year she would post something on social media. She said, "I remember Gor Gor said that he did not dare to wish for everyone would remember her, but if one day he no longer sing and he aged, as long as everyone would still mention his name he would already be very pleased." * (2016/09/11) The Venice Film Festival two nights ago announced that THE ROAD TO MANDALAY won the FEDEORA Award for Best Film. Director Midi Z personally accepted this honor. Already returned to Taiwan, Kai Ko Chen-Tung and Wu Ke-Xi were also rather happy when they got the news. Midi Z two nights ago personally accepted the award and thanked the Venice Film Festival for the recognition. He gave special thanks to leads Ko Chen-Tung and Wu Ke-Xi, as he described them as "very professional, hard working and risk taking actors". He was very happy to see their performance being seen and hoped to share this award with them. Midi Z repeatedly thanked Taiwan for cultivating him and revealing that "'Being able to come to Taiwan' is an arrangement of fate like winning the lotto, I am a very lucky person." Finally he said in Chinese, "Thank you Taiwan." Already returned to Taiwan, Ko Chen-Tung and Wu Ke-Xi were rather happy to learn the news. Ko Chen-Tung was so excited that he kept on saying he wanted to fly back to Venice to receive the award. He happily said, "I am very happy that the film that everyone worked hard on for a year was able to receive the liking of European film critics! Go Chinese films!" Wu Ke-Xi shared the honored with the entire team, and gave special thanks to the Thai factory boss from Taiwan for permitting her and Ko Chen-Tung to sneak into the factory to work and greatly assisted with the production. Finally she sentimentally said, "As a part of the film, as a Taiwan actor, I feel very honored. I am especially happy for director Midi Z and congratulate him." THE ROAD TO MADALAY won the Venice Film Festival FEDEORA Award for Best Film because director Midi Z used precise film language and art to display the actors' natural performance in a realistic way without dragging his feet. The film depicted the cruel story of the real world with elegance and precision. In addition, the jury also made special mention to Ko Chen-Tung and Wu Ke-Xi's excellent performance. * (2016/09/11) Michael Miu Kiu Wai, Kent Cheng Juk Si, Cally Kwong Mei Wan, Edmond So Chi Wai, Real Ting Chi Ko and others yesterday attended a charity bowling event to raise fund for Tung Wah hospital student all purpose development fund. Sam Gor said that he has not bowled for years. He recalled that he and Andy Lau Tak Wa used to bowl all the time, but due to traffic jam he was often late and bowled without any practice. In addition his bowling gear has already vanished without a trace. He said that when he bowled he would embarrassed himself in front of others with "gutter balls". His wife Sam Soh Jaime Chik Mei Chun's film FOOLING AROUND JIANG HU (GONG WU BEI KET) has already been released. Sam Gor said, "The visuals were shot decently. She played a happy character and worked with Principal (Alan Tam Wing Lun). Whether it was entertaining or not it would depend on the viewers." When working as a couple was suggested, he said, "The story would have to be very difficult, the plot would be pretty hard to deal with." Later Cheng Juk Si will work on the Wong Jing produced JUI (CHASE) with Andy Lau Tak Wa and Donnie Yen Chi Tan. He would play Wa Jai's subordinate. Has he seen Wa Jai's daughter? He said, "I was lucky enough. Wa Jai is very happy, being able to handle both career and family." * (2016/09/10) THE STORM SHOW 5D actor Patrick Tam Yiu Man, producer Chan Suk Fun yesterday attended comic book creator Ma Wing Shing and local designer Alan Chan Yau Kin's STORM series tourbillon watch event. Tam Yiu Man said, "In THE STORM SHOW I play 'No Name', an authentic grandmaster. When I got the script I was very excited and honored. I also knew the production cost would be very high. The Hong Kong run wouldn't be enough to break even and the show would have to be performed overseas." The show will begin its run in April next year. He was very happy that Hong Kong would be able to have an outstanding musical that would be able to represent Hong Kong people. Chan Suk Fun also said that she has always supported this watch brand. The limited edition watch would have Ma Wing Shing's autograph. Ma Wing Shing gave suggestions about the watch design. He considered using the blade and the sword as the limited edition second hand, but actually the blade and the sword designs would be difficult. * (2016/09/10) Singer Juno Mak Chun Lung last night with Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Janet Ma Sze Wai attended an event. He revealed that he was working on the pre production work for his second film as a director, SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT (FUNG LUM FOR SAN). The production has been planned to start next year. He also said that he has been planning for a Hong Kong Coliseum concert since last year, but he had to finish his film first. "HK Coliseum required an application a year in advance, and my movie would take quite awhile to make. (If you don't finish it you won't perform?) You can say that, but I am looking forward to making the movie. The script took 2 years to write. The pre production work has to be done before the production can start. I don't want to delay it for too long either." * (2016/09/10) Artist Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling two nights ago attended a film appreciation event. When asked about her boyfriend Michael Ning (Bak Ji)'s review on her new film, she said, "He would encourage me and talk about it together, with some very academic discussions. (Would you get mad if you don't agree?) No! I like people giving me opinions, he is an elder too!" In the film she had ambiguous relationships with two people. Has she had any experience in real life? She said that she only had a misunderstanding. "In my teens a guy kept asking people on the streets to wish me happy birthday on a video. At the time I was a teenager, but I had no idea that he had feelings for me. I only thought of him as a good brother. I still have the video." * (2016/09/10) The Herman Yau Lai To directed film NESSUN DORMA (HUNG SAU WAN MEI SHUI) earlier was invited to the Dallas Asian Film Festival for its North American premiere. The film has already scheduled for an October 27th Hong Kong release. With a nude scene in the film, Janice Man Wing Shan admitted that she still had hesitation during the shoot. "I have never been so daring, but I trust the director so I give my all to the performance." Challenging multiple personality character in the film, Gordon Lam Ka Tung had the most scenes with Janice Man and Jacky Cai Jie. He hoped that the film would be able to bring Janice Man an award. * (2016/09/09) Fun Entertainment boss and producer Chan Suk Fun, comic book creator Ma Wing Shing, designer Chan Yau Kin and a group of behind the scene elite created THE STORM SHOW 5D musical yesterday held a press conference to announce eight cast members, Michael Tse Tin Wa (Wind), Kevin Cheng Ka Wing (Cloud), Ray Lui Leung Wai (Conquerer), Patrick Tam Yiu Man (No Name), Bianca Wu Lam (Muse), Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui (Jester), Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung (Mud Buddha) and Janice Yan (Charity). Tourbillon watch also presented two watches with the character Wind and Cloud to the production. Everyone celebrated with cake and a toast to the show's success. According to the musical's producer Chan Suk Fun, the show would cost HK$ 100 million. 6 shows will be performed in Hong Kong for now before a Southeast Asia tour. As for the 5D musical, another producer Siu Chiu Shun said that aside from lighting, 3D projection, and the taste that the audience could sense, touch elements like fire and water will be added. Under the Hong Kong Coliseum regulation he hoped to truly achieve the most excitement with real water and fire. Did they consider asking the film version's Cloud and Wind, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Dior Cheng Yi Kin, for the show? Chan Suk Fun said no. It was not a matter of salary but character and scheduling coordination. The actors had no idea who their co-stars would be as everything was tightly kept under wraps. Tse Tin Wa said that he truly never thought about playing Wind, so at first he was so nervous that he could not sleep. Was the pressure from the success of Sing Sing and Ekin? Tin Wa said, "I wouldn't think about that. Ultimately a musical's performance method is very different from film and television. This time the show has to coordinate dance and fight sequences. I hope the performance will be more precise." As Cloud Ka Wing had to show off a pair of Kirin arms. He asked art director Yee Chung Man, who told him to be natural and not to train excessively. He said that unlike Tin Wa he had no stage experience, so it would be a huge challenge. In particular this show had a lot of fight scenes and no second take. even with injury and illness he would still come to rehearse. Since rehearsals would take so much time, were their salaries sizable? Tin Wa said, "On a certain level sacrifice has to be made. The stage performance salary has never been proportional, as it is done with passion. Sometimes it's not measured with money." Ka Wing also admitted, "If it's purely for money I might not do it. Making Mainland series takes a short time but makes a little more. Yet this time has potential and huge challenges, it's not a chance that would be around often!" Lui Leung Wai and Lai Yiu Cheung both said that they did not know who would participate until they got there. Lui said that he has longed to play the Conqueror character. Earlier when the film asked him to play Cloud he turned it down. He felt that the character was even more ambitious than "Crippled Ho". He also said that this would be his first play. Singing and dancing were not his strong suits, but he believed that after this time they would be. Lai Yiu Cheung after the film version played Mud Buddha again. he said that he did not excel in singing and dancing, so he had certain pressure. During the performance his adrenaline would raise but h would accept the challenge. Thus he did not mind making less. "I won the bid for the character!" Ah Lui smiled and said, "I will bring a lunch box, but I really turned down a movie and a series for it." * (2016/09/09) Cecilia Yip Tung yesterday attended THE WAY WE WERE The 60th Anniversary of Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing exhibit as the ribbon cutting guest. Many valuable photos of Cheung Kwok Wing were on display, as well as many stars' hand written letters to Gor Gor. The most special was the mahjong trophy that was named after Gor Gor, the Kwok Wing Cup. Yesterday would have been Gor Gor's 60th Lunar birthday. A group of volunteer fans organized this exhibit for the occasion. Yip Tung said that although Gor Gor passed away 13 years ago, everyone still missed him very much. She also urged everyone to cherish life and not to be under the effects of negative emotions. When she went to France with Gor Gor to work on the film LAST SONG IN PARIS (AU YIN), Yip Tung remembered Gor Gor taking the team to see the famous French exotic dance. "Actually he didn't have to, but he was very caring and very heart warming to everyone." She also remembered that when she first started, Gor Gor praised her by name to the media. She could not have appreciated it more. Yip Tung said, "We only worked together on two movies, and we weren't close personally either. He saw that I was new and lent me a hand." She praised Gor Gor for being able to sacrifice everything for art. He never considered himself a superstar, whether the character was handsome or ugly, male or female he was able to give him all to it. She also saw Gor Gor as her role model, be more demanding to herself and understanding to others. * (2016/09/09) The film S STORM (S FUNG BO) opens next Thursday. In the story ICAC agent Louis Koo Tin Lok raced against major crimes cop Julian Cheung Chi Lam in the capture of killer Vic Chou Yu Man. Goo Jai as an ICAC agent did not carry a gun. All the chase and gun fight scenes went to Chilam alone. Chilam said that the shoot was not as cool as the audience saw on the screen, because with slightly less concentration an accident would happen. He suffered an injury near his eyebrow and needed stitches at the hospital. He said, "I have never thought it was fun. I had to be more alert. If I got injured I would say I deserved it. Yet in action scenes injuring others is the most regrettable. Luckily this time no one got hurt." Goo Jai constantly made action films and has been injured many times. The most recent time was on the Johnnie To Kei Fung directed THREE (SAM YUN HUNG) when broken glass flew into his eye. He said, "Sometimes with gun fight scenes even being more alert is useless. Accidents will happen, all you can do is be as careful as you can. When you fire a gun keep it away from the face, otherwise you are done for!" Chilam in the film also had a car chase that still left him shaken. He said that the director asked and he did not think much about it when he took his mark. He never expected that during the shoot multiple vehicles would head toward him. After passing each one he had to do a "donut". Although he pulled it off in the end, he was already sweating bullets. Goo Jai asked why he did not use a stunt double? Chilam said, "Because you got all the money, it's too expensive. You are worth it though!" Chilam worked with Jai Jai for the first time but joked that Jai Jai was cooler than Mr. Cool Koo Tin Lok. Goo Jai and Jai Jai worked together on DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART 2. He said that after work they went to dinner together. This time they did not have a lot of time, but the three of them still had dinner together. Jai Jai felt more reserved but was very polite, thus he was rather suitable to play the cool killer. * (2016/09/09) OPERATION MEKONG recently held a Beijing press conference. Three time collaborators Dante Lam Chiu Yin and Eddie Peng Yu-Yan revealed each other's "lack of bottom line". During the shoot a 6 inch long millipede bit director Lam Chiu Yin on the set. "Actually I took this bite for Peng Yu-Yan. That day I was rehearsing with him. Other workers and actors lay on the ground for a long time without any problem. In my thick socks as soon as I went down I was fortunate enough to be bitten!" Peng Yu-Yan said that the director took a lot of risks. "He got a shot at the hospital and came right back to work. Seeing how hard he worked, how could we not! The director can truly do anything, he did everything himself. During the shoot as soon as he realized that an actor was in the mood he would grab a camera and start shooting. He is the only director who is willing to fall into an emotion with actors to encourage them among the directors I have seen. Earlier I realized that working with him on a movie was still rather tough. Now seeing how much he did I suddenly realized that I had it easy." * (2016/09/08) The Hong Kong film WEEDS ON FIRE (DIM NG BO) mentioned that when former chief executive Donald Tsang Yam Kuen was the Sha Tin district officer he supported the first all Chinese baseball team Martins. Poon Chan Leung played him. Due to length two scenes were removed from WEEDS ON FIRE, in one scene Poon Chan Leung before the game sent a box of apples to the team to cheer them up, someone joked that the apple was hard. In another scene at the 2007 Chief Executive campaign party, Poon Chan Leung talked about 3 memorable events. "The 1997 financial storm, and 2003 SARS battle, both were very memorable but very painful......if it truly had to be the most memorable and the happiest it had to 1983, when Principal Lu Kwong Fai and I formed the Martin baseball team. This mishmash of bad kids lost 8 games in a row in the first year, but then 10 in a row to become the second half champion. I feel happy not because they won, but seeing how their lives changed and how they grew." Poon Chan Leung said that Hong Kong had a lot of past glory that was built from one trivial event after another. "If I get to choose, and I can go back to the past, I hope to be able to go to that year because it was the happiest and the most carefree period of my political career." WEEDS yesterday already reached HK$ 3.11 million at the box office. * (2016/09/08) Hong Kong film YUT YEH JOI SING MING (OVERNIGHT SUCCESS AGAIN) starred actors from China, Hong Kong and Japan, including Japanese singer Masatoshi Nakamura, Japanese sex goddess Noriko Fujiwara, international Best Actor Naoto Takenaka, Mayumi Itsuwa, Yu Hayami, Toshihiko Tahara, popular Japanese model Ren Ishikawa, Mainland little fresh meat Li Yin and Hong Kong star Rain Li Choi Wa. Norika participated in another Hong Kong film 16 years later. She was very excited because she especially admired Hong KOng team's positive energy. The James Leung Wa Sun directed film YUT YEH JOI SING MING started production last month. One of the film's big selling point was the Japanese sex goddess Norika Fujiwara's return to Hong Kong film after CHINA STRIKE FORCE (LUI TING JIN GAING) in 2000. In the film Norika played an enka "goddess" who retired when her career was at its brightest and married rich businessman Naota Takenaka. Working for the first time together on a film, they already had a lot of emotional scenes. Norika admitted that she "looked forward to it and was pleased". "Mr. Takenaka is quite a character actor, I look forward to working with him very much!" Working on a Hong Kong film again, Norika Fujiwara excitedly said, "Exciting! Being able to work with different countries' teams, I can learn even more; especially the Hong Kong team, they have a lot of positive energy." Norika even revealed that the character name changed from the original Kayoko Mochizuki to Hanako Yaezakura. The character "Wa" meant "China", "Elegance" and "Chinese". "Yaezakura"'s "sakura" had Japanese initial, the name was a connection between China and Japan. To be more convincing, Norika asked her Enka friends for help. She said, "Enka can express the emotions of Japan, different from the average singing. My mama likes to listen to enka very much. When I was little I often saw her performing enka while doing chores at the kitchen. I believe I can play this character. She would definitely be very happy and viewers would also have a huge surprise!" * (2016/09/08) The 20th Huading Award China Film Satisfaction Survey release ceremony took place last night at the Kowloon Bay International Trade and Exhibition Center. 14 awards were presented. Leading with 7 nominations, WOLF WARRIORS won 5 major awards to become the big winner; MR. SIX won Best Film and Best Director. The new Huading Best Actor and Best Actress were A FOOL's Chen Jianbin and THE MASTER's Song Jia. Irene Wan Bik Ha presented the lifetime honorary award to her late friend Wu Ma. Wu Ma's widow Ma Yin accepted the award. Wu Jing with WOLF WARRIORS won the Best New Director and the film won 5 awards. Wu Jing happily said, "Earlier during the shoot the hardship was indescribable to other. This film took 7 years to plan. Currently I am already in the WOLF WARRIORS 2 production and work has begun for two months. I hope to make it even more exciting, more explosive and even pleasing to the audience." In the future Wu Jing wanted to work with Jackie Chan and Chow Yun Fat the most. He also said that he was all scarred up from the shoot himself. He needed to recover himself first, but he has never told his wife about his injuries. As for the Best New Artist, Liu Haoran said that the award was the greatest recognition and encouragement. He hoped to be able to play different characters from now on, to be able to challenge different things. While presenting the Lifetime Honorary award to Wu Ma, Wan Bik Ha spoke of her history with Wu Ma in detail. "At age 21 I worked with Wu Ma on THE LAST EUNUCH IN CHINA. He played an eunuch. Other actors included (Max) Mok Siu Chung and (Andy) Lau Tak Wa. This film brought me a lot of memories, and thus Wu Ma even became my good friend. We often had dinner and drinks to chat. Later I worked with Wu Ma on his directing debut CIRCUS KIDS. Two years ago when I heard the news of his passing it was very sudden, because he passed away in his sleep." She said Wu Ma was kind and like a father. Wan Bik ha also introduced girls to him. "When we made CIRCUS, I watched him meet the current Mrs. Wu Ma. This was destiny." Shirley Yeung Szeki presented the Best Director Award. Currently she is busy with working in the Mainland. Of course she hoped that suitable jobs would find her in Hong Kong as well. Has she missed her daughter while in the Mainland? "My over 4 year old daughter is already in K2 and starts to learn things. She knows that she has to be good. When she goes to school she no longer cries. Instead she feels a little lost during the summer and always says that she wants to go to school. Finally Grandpa and Grandma took her on vacation." Max Zhang Jin revealed that his wife Ada Choi Siu Fun had to stay home to watch their daughters. "Earlier when my wife was working in the Mainland, I took care of the girls. Now she is back, she is taking care of them. Because school started for them recently, we have been busier. Both girls are attending an international school, now it's a good opportunity for me to learn English. My wife and I have the same educational direction, I feel cultivating the children's character is more important than knowledge." As for the award, Zhang Jin was both grateful and surprised. He realized that a character was not only about playing a hero or a villain, receiving the audience's appreciation was the greatest comfort.

TA KUNG PAO, SEPTEMBER 8 2016, ASIAN FILMS TRAIN TO BUSAN RISKS DEATH TO PROTECT LOVED ONES "Zombies" has swept across the silver screens globally. Other than Hollywood films, from Hong Kong to Japan filmmakers do not lack this biological monster silver screen adaptation experience. Now even Korean filmmakers have joined in and made TRAIN TO BUSAN. In general, few zombie films on the big screen, especially Asian released zombie films, are big box office hits. They are closer to cult films for the minority. TRAIN TO BUSAN is different. So far it not only is the Korean box office champion this year but also set Hong Kong and Taiwan Korean film box office records. It is a rather interesting film phenomenon. - HUNG KWONG TRAIN TO BUSAN's protagonists are a father and a daughter. A financial manager in order to fulfill his daughter's birthday wish takes time to take the train with her to Busan to celebrate her birthday with his former wife. Only when the train starts to move, the zombie virus that has spread to the entire nation rapidly spread inside the train. passengers trapped inside the trap run in panic and begin a life and death struggle against zombies. Awaiting them at each station on the way are still zombies. The only chance to survive is the final destination of the railroad -- Busan. Aside from this pair of father and daughter, the story also has a couple, the wife of which is already pregnant. There is also a young student couple and a pair of senior sisters. The relationships of the four groups form the driving force of the entire film, the focus is how everyone makes sacrifices for the loved ones. While running for their lives they also have to charge at the zombies to save those they love. The story in the film (like the use of the darkness of the tunnel to create tension) reminds people of another Korean director's work -- SNOW PIERCER. Exposing Humanity Like most zombie films, this film is not actually about zombies but is a big expose on human nature under extreme environment. Yet in comparison, this film has pitifully few details about the zombies themselves. For example the mysterious virus that can turn humans into zombies in less than a minute after infection actually is only told with one line. Those zombies that sweep across Korea move rapidly, closer to the WORLD WAR Z type. Interesting, the source of the zombies in WORLD WAR Z just happens to be Korea...... As for the characters, the father and daughter protagonists in the film have an estranged relationship. When others see the financial manager father as a vampire, his daughter is already used to it. The daughter, perhaps was raised by her mother as a girl who would be extremely glad to help others, during the escape still remembers to offer her seat to others and unwilling to escape alone with her father......they have the most interaction with the couple they are escaping with. The two male and the two female are paired together. The males risk everything to protect their families, the females help each other during the escape. The remaining two pairs are mainly supporting characters. The greatest conflict comes from the other passengers on the train. Those people are afraid that the protagonists after struggling with zombies are infected, in the end they lead to the eradication of everyone on the train. The company supervisor who in order to escape ignore all others is a contrast to the selfless little girl. Why Fear Destiny If you ask why this film is so popular, perhaps it is due to its positive value display. The main characters are battling to protect their families (which can be said as very patriarchic, as the female characters all keep running/are protected). In the end bad guys get that they deserve, and the good guys' sacrifices are rewarded. The film does not have the dark pessimism and everyone dies negative emotions (like Wilson Yip Wai Shun's BIO-ZOMBIE) in most zombie genre films. Even if the audience does not like this type of genre cult films can watch it in peace.....some also point out that the writer and the director often hints at the Korean government's hiding the truth, which is similar to the real world situation that the audience can relate to. As the writer feels, in similar disaster films the government agencies' hiding the truth seem to be standard procedure. This can only be said to locals being especially sensitive to this type of story. Even more curious to the writer is the final destination of the escape, the human castle that has not fallen, is in Busan. From Seoul to Daegu, swarms of zombies suddenly attack and no place is safe. This route remains people of the Korean war 65 years ago. The North Korean People's Army also marched from north to south until the Busan defensive ring. Is this route's design deliberate or because the trapped on the train design? No one would know, but ultimately it reminds people of the various monster disaster films that developed from fears of the nuclear war during the Cold War era. Only to Koreans, the source of the fear is a war that actually happened. 3. TA KUNG PAO, SEPTEMBER 8 2016, LIGHT SHADOW PATH REAL AND FAKE PRODUCERS Articles often pointed out that the Chinese film market lacked producers and thus had difficulty in competition with Hollywood. Each film has a producer, why would they say it does not? The reason is these producers are not necessarily truly execute the duties of producing. We have several types of producers, one is the company boss. He has the title of producer but lets the director (especially famous ones) have free rein. The second type is the one who the company hires to work for the director. This type of producing is "effective" in Hong Kong. This type of producers manages production budgets and daily operation, missing the necessary contribution to creative direction. Also, another type of producers help with distribution or participate in investment. After several films they boast to be famous producers. Of course some are real producers. These people not only have to manage financial budgets but also production. They are responsible to the bosses. Thus, most producers who are bosses are not real producers because most of them do not have creative management knowledge and creative ability. Film and television industries are the same, the most important is the producer and not the director. Chinese television production companies know this very well and would work with many famous producers and not with directors (some producers who are also directors are exceptions). Yet in film directors are mostly the units. Actually companies often do not have producers (in name only they do), directors also serve as real producers. Now many film directors are also producers. This type of self management method is extremely unideal. The ideal film producer must know how to create and produce, even more important is the market. In the past the Hong Kong film industry has the so-called "production start advisor", in other words people who know the market. Yet they only know about market demands but not creating or producing. Hollywood also has a type who only knows about creating, creative producer, another producer execute the production management. No matter what, suitable producers can give a film and its company a much easy time to succeed. How can you tell who is a real producer? In American film, any producer with PGA (Producers Guild of America) is. Chinese film does not have this type of prestigious producer organization, but there is a way to tell. This way is when those in charge of a film company want to find new directors and not too famous yet directors to make movies, or do not know what type of movies to make yet, the names that pop up in their minds probably are real producers. Thus, companies that specialize in making big movies instead have fewer real producers. This is a rather ironic phenomenon. - TIN LIK [ In Production Now/Soon ] THE ADVENTURERS AKA : ONCE A THIEF Can : Hup Doh Luen Mung Lit : Heroic Thief Alliance d.

It seems Earth’s last hope lies in...a dork and a rice cooker? Grown up in a small fishing village, McDull has no black mask, no red underwear, not to mention superpower. McDull has such an ambition that with his great enthusiasm for science, he will one day become an inventor. Suddenly, a giant monster invades Earth and defeats the widely believed Earth hero - Superman. At this critical moment, people from all over the world are called for participation in an international robot competition to find the most powerful robot to fight the monster. With no much resource but some cheap home appliances, McDull converts a rice cooker into his world-saving robot: the Rizo. Unexpectedly, McDull’s low-tech invention enters the final competition. The news excites the whole village. Not only Mrs. Mak’s works day and night to meet the expense, but Principal and many others offer McDull with abundant support. Finally, McDull and Rizo set off for final contest. Rizo looks clumsy and its functions seem so ordinary. Nevertheless, as the competition turns fierce and ugly, Rizo’s unbelievable endurance makes it the final champion. Like this, McDull and Rizo suddenly become the hope of Earth. Whereas the monster could come again anytime, some scheme is going on among the heads of states...Will McDull and Rizo, the partners that are once ridiculed, be the world savior? Why does the monster attack Earth over and over again? [ BROADWAY CIRCUIT ] When one can’t count on superheroes to save our planet from outerspace monsters, who do we turn to? That’s right! A pig head and a rice pot! Mcdull has no black masks or red underwear, and certainly not supernatural powers. He is just an ordinary boy growing up in a fishing village and dreaming of growing up to become an inventor. One day, an outerspace monster invades the Earth and makes mincemeat of the superhero sent to meet him. So world leaders call on all citizens to design a super robot, to defeat the outerspace monster and save the Earth. Mcdull, who is scant of resources but plenty resourceful, starts fiddling with his mom’s household appliances. From a humble rice cooker, he designs a low-tech high-power robot: Risopot, and makes it to the final of the World Robot Design Competition. The whole fishing village is jubilant. To produce Risopot, everybody chips in, including the principal of the village school. And Mrs. Mak, Mcdull’s mom and the village fishball maker, works triple hard to meet the expenses. Risopot looks dumb and his functions are a joke. But with extraordinary tenacity and lots of dumb luck, he emerges the winner. Now the responsibility of saving the Earth falls squarely on the shoulders of Mcdull and Risopot. The outerspace monster will be upon the Earth again any time soon. The world leaders are having summit meetings and seem to be up to something. The pig head and rice pot combo, still a laughing stock, can they really save our planet?
