MISCELLANEOUS * (2019/05/01) Fiona Sit Hoi Kei earlier participated in a Hangzhou run. This year she would have a lot of plans. "Coming soon will be the Fung Chih Chiang directed film WITNESS OUT OF THE BLUE (FAN JUI YIN CHEUNG). In May I will record a new song. This time the new record release format and content will be very different from before, but the most important is my new fashion label's sumer line has already been released. I hope everyone would like it." * (2019/04/30) The film MEN ON THE DRAGON (YIK LAU DAI SHOOK) and TRACEY (CHUI SZE) performed well and received good word of mouth with awards from all over. Boss Louis Koo Tin Lok two nights ago held a celebration to thank the casts and the crews. MEN ON THE DRAGON's director Sunny Chan Kam Sun after attending posted a photo with Goo Jai online. "How many likes can this 3AM photo con? After two years and several meetings, I still didn't dare to ask him for a photo. Tonight I finally did. Thank you Mr. Koo. You were willing to support this film, which changed my life." Philip Keung Ho Man, Ben Yuen Fu Wa, Kara Wai Ying, and Kenny Wong Tak Bun attended as well. Yuen Fu Wa earlier won the Golden Horse Award and the Hong Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actor. He rushed over from his play rehearsal and brought his two awards. Everyone was happy for him and asked him for photos. Originally already overseas, film company boss Koo Tin Lok also flew back to Hong Kong. Yuen Fu Wa stated that he was very touched. "I brought the two awards to take photos with Mr. Koo. Because of his investment in the film, he has a part in the two awards! He really was thoughtful, when you saw him you knew he was a little tired. I asked him if he wanted to eat and he said he was very sleepy. (Did you discuss working together again?) We mentioned it. I saw him in close negotiation with the director. I believe with the suitable character we definitely will have a chance to work together again." * (2019/04/30) Teresa Mo Shun Kwan yesterday worked on a commercial. Last year Sister Mo became a Hong Kong Film Award Best Actress, did she get a raise? Sister Mo said that it was about the heart and not money. "Dr. Chan is my benefactor. Back then my younger daughter had the swine flu, few dared to treat her and said that she had to be quarantined. Dr. Chan saved my younger daughter. Then I asked Dr. Chan needed a spokesperson because I couldn't think of any way to return the favor. Of course I still got paid. We have been working together ever since." Would she appear in the commercial with her daughter? Sister Mo declined. "I wouldn't ask her to, Dr. Chan didn't ask and knew that my daughters don't like to be on camera." Sister Mo said that she also had to take care of her cookie shop business. Although business has been good, she has not broken even yet because she invested a lot into it. Would she be more cautious with her script selection now? Sister Mo said, "When I take a role the script has to be right for me. I have always been very cautious with script selection. I really want a good script, because one shot would be enough to hit -- like TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY (WONG GUM FA) and STILL HUMAN (LUN LOK YUN). (No script has been able to move you yet?) I am in discussion." * (2019/04/30) The Wong Jing and Jason Kwan Chi Yiu directed, four Best Actors Tony Leung Ka Fai, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Simon Yam Tat Wa starred the film CHASING THE DRAGON II: WILD WILD BUNCH (JUI LUNG II: CHAK WONG) two days ago held a WILD WILD BUNCH appearance release date announcement event in Beijing. Executive producers Wong Jing, Yu Dong, and director Kwan Chi Yiu, star Leung Ka Fai, Koo Tin Lok and Sabrina Qiu appeared. Director Wong Jing said, "CHASING THE DRAGON itself was a trailblazing challenge. I was very happy that it received the audience's love and recognition. We made the new CHASING THE DRAGON film in hopes of doing more contribution in the revival of Hong Kong film." The two directors worked together again on the second film of the CHASING THE DRAGON film series and certainly would be able to make another eye catching epic. For the audience understand the film and the characters better, the stars at the beginning the event began to reveal each other's secrets. Leung Ka Fai said that Koo Tin Lok in the film had a "fairy shed tear" scene. When he saw him cry he was very heartbroken. Koo Tin Lok joked, "Brother Ka Fai in the film is very rich, so much so that he can pile it up into construction models." * (2019/04/30) Kara Wai Ying Hung with her excellent performance in the film TRACEY (CHUI SZE) won the Hong Kong Film Award and Asian Film Award Best Supporting Actress. Last night a celebration was held. Attendees included her THE DEFECTED (TEET TAM) co-stars Sharon Chan Man Chi, Shek Sau, Oscar Leung King Fai, Ben Wong Chi Yin and friends Maria Chung Wai Bing, Candy Man Suet Yee. Sister Hung happily said that last night was the first celebration dinner after her award. She invited her friends and the media. "I don't have many friends, I have some generation gap with young people!" Then how would she get a new boyfriend? Sister Hung said, "Whether I get married or not it's none of your business, maybe I am already secretly married! I have an illegitimate daughter (dog), actually I am not in a hurry!" She also said that she was very happy to see decade old friends. "Everyone is alive and kicking, which is great joy. Last year several friends passed away. Normally we would be working and might not have a chance to sit down and have dinner!" After the award Sister Hung said that she did not deliberately increase her salary. She also forgot how long has it been since her last raise. "I have always leaned toward the super low side, I just want to haggle like I am at the butcher stall. My price is clearly labeled. If I am forced or unhappy then I wouldn't do it. As long as everyone is happy, I don't mind. It's mutual respect!" Adam Cheng Siu Chau's new Viu TV series PSYCHO DETECTIVE 2 (NGAI TAM CHIN JUEN) premiered last night opposite THE DEFECTED. Sister Hung said that THE DEFECTED last night just reached its climax, so she believed that it would have habitual viewing. However viewers would be able to watch all the programs online. Sister Hung was called the spoiler king, which she said that spoilers did not affect the actors' performance. She was confident that people would accept the story even after they found out about it. Sister Hung said that this time she really was popular. Once she went to walk her dog, someone screamed from behind her character name. She was afraid that they would throw something at her, but actually it was a supporter. Some Mainland viewers said that they really hated her. "Some even asked when I would die and called me a old vicious woman. Vicious woman wasn't enough, they even added the word old. However at the movies a young person told me I was the pride of women, that I was a role model. So I was happy!" * (2019/04/29) The Steven Ma Chun Wai written, directed and starred film TILL WE MEET AGAIN (SUN CHIN YEUK SEI HAU) has already completed its pre production work. Earlier each actors participated in their first table read. From the stage to the screen, the only constant would be lead actress Josephine Koo Mei Wa as she would continue her mother and son relationship with Ma Jai. "Sister Mei Wa definitely is the only choice. She has already signed my company as her manage. In the future we would have even more opportunities to work together. I am also very grateful to my team, for making everything go so smoothly." Aside from the several stage actors, this film would also add some new actors like Jennifer Yu Heung Yi and Himmy Wong Ting Him. For his first movie Ma Jai not only would have to keep his attention on multiple on and off screen roles but also commander the entire set, which to Ma Jai would absolutely be a huge challenge. "If I say I have no pressure it would be a lie, but my pressure is positive. I won't have negativity, no matter what I would continue my journey on the stage. I already have many scripts in discussion, I hope everyone would support me, support domestic creativity even more, and support Hong Kong film to break out into the world." Koo Mei Wa said, "Stage and film are different media, with the stage experience last time, this time the film would feel like a review. For me, making the movie would be much more relaxed. This film would add some characters, most would be newcomers I don't know. They are very young and energetic, I like Yu Heung Yi this naturally pretty girl." * (2019/04/27) STILL HUMAN (LUN LOK YUN) actors Anthony Wong Chau Sau Sun and Himmy Wong Ting Him yesterday attended a Baptist University film forum. As of two days ago (the 25th) the film has accumulated over HK$ 1,200. With the foreign film AVENGERS: ENDGAME on the way, its single day still made over HK$ 270,000. Chau Sun said about the performance, "Congratulation." With only bonus from working for zero salary, how much bonus did Chau Sun get? He said, "I don't know how much yet, but I will be more careful from now on. I can't underestimate any movie. I thought the movie would leave the theater after three days; but since its April 11th release to now, even with an opponent as strong as AVENGERS: ENDGAME the cinemas are still full." Chau Sun would head to Italy to attend the Udine Far East Film Festival for his achievement excellence award. Chau Sun said that for him to receive such a honor in such a young age, like gout and high blood pressure it was trending younger. Chau Sun said that of course he was happy about receiving recognition from filmmakers. Many people said that they wanted to take him to dinner, like Candy Yu On On and Teresa Mo Shun Kwan. He also wanted to take his friends like Dayo Wong Tze Wah, Francis Ng Chun Yu, Sean Lau Ching Wan and Cheung Tat Ming to dinner. He said, "Everyone is happy for me, Tat Ming joked that I won't get hired in Hong Kong and told him to break out of Asia." * (2019/04/27) Andy Lau Tak Wa, Sean Lau Ching Wan, Ron Ng Cheuk Hei, Kenny Wong Tak Bun, Raymond Chiu Wing Hung, Zhang Yang yesterday worked on an explosion scene for the film SHOCK WAVE 2 (CHAK DAN JUEN GA 2) in Tsim Sha Tsui East. The team not only used many police vehicles, ambulances bomb disposal vehicles and sandbags bu also 50 extras. Under the 31 degree Celsius heat, Wa Jai not only had to wear the full uniform but also had to carry a hand grenade into a sandbag pit for detonation. The drenched Wa Jai had to run back and forth and lie on the ground for the shoo. Yet many angle shots were done with one take. Ching Wan and Wa Jai worked together again after 17 years but on and off cameras they were full of chemistry. Because the shoot took place on the streets, many looked on. Some pedestrians even kept screaming, "Wa Jai, Lau Tak Wa!" Although the shoot schedule was very intense, the always friendly Wa Jai waved to the crowd. * (2019/04/27) Chrissie Chau Sau Na and Adam Pak Tin Nam yesterday attended a watch event. Yesterday was also Pak Tin Nam's 37th birthday. He said that this was his first birthday at work in his career. Today he would make time to celebrate with fans. As for birthday wish, he said that he wanted to work more and would like to learn more from elder Chau Sau Na. Pak Tin Nam said that he and Sister Na have worked together on a movie, but that time they did not have too many scenes together. He would like to be able to make a romance with her. Would he get shy on a romance? He said that when he would be in character he probably would not, but he might from seeing Sister Na before the shoot. Chau Sau Na has been single for awhile, but believed that a romance would be just as easy to get into. Mainly she would be very happy as she would feel like love nourished her. Since she has not dated for so long, she could only be romantic on the set. Sister Na admitted that she had suitors but being with them required time. Perhaps she also has gotten used to living alone. If she had to adjust to a person anew sometimes she would rather choose to be friends. When she would have dinner with friends they would occasionally introduce her to people, which instead would feel very awkward. * (2019/04/27) Friends OF ENJOY YOURSELF TONIGHT 2019 Dinner took place two nighs ago in Tsim Sha Tsui, Yeung Pan Pan, Lau Fung Ping, Nat Chan Pak Cheung, Wong Hung Sau, Melvin Wong Kam Sun, Ng Lai Chu and other veteran actors attended. Pan Pan was walking with a cane, which she said was unrelated to her earlier on set burns. She just took the opportunity to correct some bone bruise from over the years. Yeung Pan Pan said since going behind the scene, she walked too much and had a lot of bruises. Earlier in the year she replaced the right femur in Taiwan, which was slowly recovering. "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to walk at all, so I didn't dare to have (the operation). Actually on the second day I already no longer hurt, I was able to walk and even better than before. The doctor said that I could be on the wire again, but I would leave that to the younger generation. I would only be responsible for designs and training." Yeung Pan Pan also said that after the operation she did not stop working. Originally she would have operation on both femurs, but because she would have film promotions she would wait until later for the other side. * (2019/04/26) Philip Keung Ho Man yesterday attended an event in Tsim Sha Tsui. He said that he was not disappointed that he did not win the Hong Kong Film Award with TRACEY (CHUI SZE), because Kara Wai Ying Hung and Ben Yuen Fu Wa won with the film. If the film had no award then it would be worse. Hak Jai said, "I will win again in a few years, give me a little more time. Now I have several scripts in discussion. Later I will work with (Stephy) Tang Lai Yan on a crime film and play a cop." Hak Jai also revealed that he just finished the Han Sanping produced war film LIBERATED. He said that he has always wanted to make a war film. This time he was the happiest about the change to sit inside a tank. "Although I wasn't driving, I was responsible for the cannon. It was a lot of fun, but one explosion scene was terrifying. Since the explosive smell was inside the vehicle, I couldn't breathe and almost wanted to die." He said that this time he played a playboy officer. Was he like that in real life? He denied, "Of course not." * (2019/04/26) Recently the Hong Kong Stuntman Association and Beijing Jizhi Yingxiang Entertainment Co. Ltd. produced a documentary about stuntmen, which released its first poster. It revolved around "Never Say No", which was the motto of stunt people's life risking performance in fights, building jumps, car chases, fire and other thrilling stuns. Andy Lau Tak Wa personally wrote the calligraphy for the title. Director Wei Junzi admitted, "Hong Kong action films were the most memorable screen silver memories when I was growing up. Now I am already 40, I would always think of those most legendary action filmmakers and what kind of lives would they have? In addition very few people have mentioned the blood and tears of stunt people, so I decided to make this documentary." Finally he spent two years, interviewed and shot almost 100 stunt elders and newcomers for a complete overview of stun people and uncover the silver screen journey of the "heroes". Wei Junzi revealed that this was the first documentary to completely uncover the 70 years of changes for Hong Kong stunt people. "Whether it was in the past or now, the contribution and the spirit of stunt people were worthy of being continued and chronicled." The film will open this year in the Mainland. * (2019/04/25) The Dante Lam Chiu Yin directed Emperor Motion Picture OPERATION RED SEA made 3.65 billion RMB and had great word of mouth. Lam Chiu Yin followed up with the sea rescue film THE RESCUE (GUP GUNG GAU WOON) with Eddie Peng Yu-Yan, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Ian Wang Yanlin, Xin Zhilei, Wang Yutian and others. The film shot on location in Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Mexico and would likely bring more visual surprises to the audience. Lam Chiu Yim admitted that 5 years ago when he worked with Chan Ka Lok on TO THE FORE (POR FUNG), Chan was more immature but he paid attention to his performance at work. This time he felt Ka Lok was much more mature. Speaking of the RESCUE costing over 7 million RMB, did he feel any pressure? Lam Chiu Yin stated that whether the film budget was large or small the production would still have pressure. He wanted to make the film a success. He said, "This film had its script even earlier than OPERATION RED SEA, but I kept thinking about how I would make it. I didn't dare to make it either. Finally I thought of how to make it, but indeed it would require a lot of money. At the time I said if I didn't have the money I wouldn't make this movie, because the result would not meet the quality that the audience would need." As for casting, Xin Zhilei was the only actress. Lam Chiu Yin said that he was never a chauvinist. For each film he would want to create a very strong girl and felt that with gender equality in modern society she would be able to work well in a rescue team. Thus each time he cast he would like to find an actor with determine. He said, "I am not too familiar with Mainland actors, but the producer would pay attention more. She felt that Xin Zhilei was great. After watching her performance in I AM THE ACTOR she really caught my eyes. Wang Yanlin had very little screen time in OPERATION RED SEA but made the character very strong, which was his contribution to the role. I am after actors like these who would give them all without any regret. I feel he is the person I need in the movie." Working with the "Demon Director" Lam Chiu Yin again, Wang Yanlin said the directors' demand for his actors were no considered demon like. Instead he felt that he was treating myself more like a demon. The director would personally try each scene himself, whether it was an explosive or a fire. Thus they did not dare to avoid it. Wang Yanlin said that for this performance he took flying lessons. In a piloting scene, originally they asked Xin Zhilei to give it a try but she really went to pilot the plane. Everyone was frightened and screamed for her not to. Working with Lam Chiu Yin for the first time, Xin Zhilei said that it was rather comfortable. Because in the film she had to pilot a plane and dive, she learned a lot. If she did not participate in this film she would not have the chance to learn. Everyone would also be able to see her other side on the screen. Ka Lok worked with Lam Chiu Yin on TO THE FORE (POR FUNG) but during the shoot Ka Lok had an accident and broke his left arm. Working together again, Ka Lok stated that he needed to adjust mentally. Because the last time he was too nervous and excited, he overlooked safety. This time he would ensure that he would be fully prepared and at the same time clearly know what he would need to do at each scene. He also trained fully before hand. He said, "However the director would personally try the scene himself, he even descended from the plane on a rope himself. Everyone was very confident, so we didn't get to skip anything. It also made us very united!" * (2019/04/25) AVENGERS: ENDGAME has such a strong box office momentum around the world, many movies are avoiding it. The Wong Kar Wai produced new film JINPA opens in the same period as AVENGERS in the Mainland. When he attended its premiere he felt that the two films did not conflict and people could watch both. Wong Kar Wai had a lot of confidence in JINPA. He said that the release date was set long ago, before AVENGERS set its release. Wong Kar Wai felt that then all the films of the same period skipped the slot. Of course JINPA could have gone too, but where would it go? In addition in today's market, art film has limited space. They fought very hard for an exclusive art cinema circuit. If they chose to retreat, basically they would be give up on themselves. He continued, "In this era we need heroes, in this era we also need faith. A faithless hero is just a pile of robots." Some said that the Fruit Chan Gor directed, Max Zhang Jin and Annie Liu (Lau Sum Yau) starred INVINCIBLE DRAGON (GAU LUNG BUK BAI) originally was slated for a May 1st release in the Mainland but suddenly announced it was postponed until June, seemingly avoiding AVENGERS. Pegasus Motion Pictures boss Raymond Wong Pak Ming said to the media, "I am not too sure about the reason for the Mainland's release date change. I have received the news that it would be changed to June, so Hong Kong would release the film around the same time to avoid piracy." AVENGERS yesterday occupied more than 80% of the Mainland show times, reportedly the movie with the most in recent history. [ BLAH OF THE WEEK ] Columns, Reviews, Interviews 1. TA KUNG PAO, APRIL 25 2019, THE WEEK IN FILM AVENGERS: ENDGAME MAKES A STRONG ARRIVAL Winning three major Hong Kong Film Awards, STILL HUMAN (LUN LOK YUN) made HK$ 2.39 million in its opening week and came in fourth. The performance was considered decent. After the awards, last week its box office tripled as it landed in first place and accumulated over HK$ 10 million to become another First Feature Film Initiative movie to make over 10 million after MAD WORLD (YUT LIM MO MING). Whether it would pass MAD WORLD's HK$ 17.11 million it would depend on its momentum; but this week it will run into the super blockbuster AVENGERS: ENDGAME. Repeating last week's performance will not be easy, as it will depend on whether STILL HUMAN can extend its release and take its box office to another level. Last week's box office without any blockbuster draw made HK$ 37.15 million, an increase of HK$ 9.2 million from the previous week -- the benefit of the Easter holiday of course. At the box office, P STORM (P FUNG BO) fell one spot to second place; the new release HOTEL MUMBAI and the family animated film THE QUEEN'S CORGI came in third and fourth place; SHAZAM! came in fifth. As for other new releases, the horror film THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA made HK$ 2.85 million in sixth place. With advanced screenings it made HK$ 3.3 million; the animated film WONDER PARK made HK$ 1.88 million in seventh place; the Japanese animated film CHIBI MARIKO CHAN MOVIE: ONO AND SUGIYAMA made HK$ 740,000 in twelfth place, with advanced screenings it made HK$ 800,000; the Polish film COLD WAR made HK$ 250,000 in eighteenth place, with advanced screenings it made HK$ 310,000; the French basketball film TEAM SPIRIT made HK$ 72,000 in Hong Kong in twenty fifth place; the Japanese animated film OKKO'S INN made HK$ 43,000 in twenty eighth place. This week will only have two film releases. The long anticipated final film of the AVENGERS film series, AVENGERS: ENDGAME, will occupy most of the screens and even open on Wednesday. Passing this year's highest grossing film, CAPTAIN MARVEL's HK$ 76.37 million, should not be all that hard. The other new film will be the Kaoru Kobayashi and Yuya Yagira starred, female director Nanako Hirose directed Japanese film HIS LOST NAME. At the Mainland box office, P STORM (P FUNG BO) and Indian film ANDHADHUM still firmly remained in first and second place; the Japanese film THE CRIMES THAT BIND rose one spot to third place; with only an average performance at the Hong Kong box office, WONDER PARK opened in fourth place; SHAZAM! came in fifth. As for other new releases, the Huo Jianqi directed, Chen Xiao and Du Juan starred romance LOST IN LOVE made 19.68 million RMB and came in sixth place; the Francis Ng Chun Yu directed and starred comedy CHANGE THE GANGSTER made 14.8 million RMB in eighth place; the Huang Lei starred heart warming comedy PUSH AND SHOVE made 12.11 million RMB in ninth place. Opened in Japan in July last year, the Sota Fukushi and Hana Sugisaki starred fantasy action film BLEACH made 3.41 million RMB; this film in Japan made 360.63 million yen.

TA KUNG PAO, APRIL 25 2019, LIGHT SHADOW PATH THE MEANING OF LOOSENING FIVE POLICIES Last week Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet Ngor announced that the Central government has agreed to loosen five policies for the convenience of the Hong Kong film industry, which the industry welcomed as a timely shot of confidence. The first was "the quota exemption of Hong Kong people in Mainland film production". Whether the "quota" referred to workers or projects it was uncertain. Actually the worker ratio had no restriction. Simply said, Hong Kong people were not treated a non Mainland industry people. Later it was learned that this exemption included film, television and internet content productions. The second was the most popular with colleagues, "cancellation of Mainland Hong Kong co-production film actor ratio and Mainland element restrictions". In past Mainland and Hong Kong co-production films, Mainland feature actor ratio had to be no less than 1/3 of the feature actor quantity. The story or feature characters should be related to the Mainland as well. Although the film bureau enforcement of this policy has not been very strict, it was still a restriction. The current loosening also meant that Hong Kong industry has been seen "one of our own" and would be treated the same as Mainland colleagues. This loosening's influence would be enormous. Because previously Mainland actors had to be 1/3 of the lead cast and the story must be related to the Mainland, most co-production films only used Mainland actresses for leads. Hong Kong actresses in turn had very little opportunity for work. Some stories inevitably splintered. Later the films even developed to the point of actresses speaking Putonghua while actors spoke Cantonese, which some Hong Kong viewers have criticized. Hong Kong filmmakers have always been the most flexible, they knew that they must follow the market regulation when entering a market while at the same reflected the difficulties of doing so to the authorities. This loosening was great news. First Hong Kong film could be "authentic", which not only was what Hong Kong viewers thirsted for but Mainland viewers also welcomed. Hong Kong crime film hits were the evidence of that. Secondly Hong Kong actresses would also have more job opportunities, which would be encouraging. The third was co-production films no longer required the partner company to pay project application fee. Although the exemption was less than 100,000 yuan, it was a move of sincerity. The fourth loosening permitted Hong Kong films that was already released in the Mainland and their film workers to compete for film awards. It was another example of treating Hong Kong filmmakers as Mainland filmmakers. Released in the 2016, the Mainland policy that "rewarded excellent national film overseas promotion work" was announced to be applicable to Hong Kong companies. Companies that released excellent Mainland films or co-production films in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other regions outside the border could according to box office revenue and royalty revenue ratio receive rewards. Overall, the five policy loosening officially announced that Hong Kong film and Hong Kong people and Mainland film and colleagues no longer have any differentiation. - LAM KAM BO [ In Production Now/Soon ] ELISA'S DAY Can : Wai Oi Lit : Leftover Love AKA : Chong Hoi Wai Oi AKA : Love Left At Sea d.
