MISCELLANEOUS * (2019/05/22) Stephy Tang Lai Yun and Ling Man Lung two days ago worked on their film CHAN YING HUNG GAN (RUINED SHADOW SPACE) at a senior home. It happened to be Ling Man Lung's 33rd birthday, for which the team presented a cake and sang the birthday song. He was very touched. "When work started I was mentally prepared to play this character with psychological disorder. I didn't expect that at dinner someone would celebrate my birthday. I was surprised, happy and touched, but after that I had to pick up my emotions again to play a not so happy role." As for his birthday wish he said, "I hope that my creations and my work would be able to affect culture and society. This is my dramatic dream." * (2019/05/22) David Siu Chung Hung two days ago while working on the film MO YEH CHA (MOTHER NIGHT FORK) hit his head on the camera and went to the hospital for five stitches. Yesterday he said, "The shot had me running into the camera, maybe because the environment was too muggy everyone was a little tired. The crew accidentally rammed the camera into me." Although blood was streaming down, he did not want to affect the production and kept working despite the pain. After the shoot the crew rushed him to the hospital for treatment. Would he stop working and rest? He said that yesterday he originally was resting, today's scenes would be postponed as he would return to work tomorrow. * (2019/05/22) Taiwan group Mayday two nights ago came to Hong Kong to attend the 3D MAYDAY LIFE premiere. Ashin mentioned that earlier Tony Leung Ka Fai was a guest at their concert and in their music video. "Brother Ka Fai made the concert better. Maybe the new generation doesn't know that actually Brother Ka Fai has released a record before." Leung Ka Fai also performed in the film 3D MAYDAY LIFE. Ashin was very moved and definitely would invite him to watch it. The film not only had Mayday concert footage but also the band in heroic roles and action scenes. They hoped that the Easter egg at the end would bring the audience a surprise. He said that the 3D version would be more awesome as the audience would feel the rocking effect. They said, "Everyone has a hero in their hearts. They should be more confident in themselves because even Mayday can become heroes. However, making the film actually is a physical challenge because it has a lot of action scenes." * (2019/05/22) Max Zhang Jin and Juju Chan Yuk Wan in the film INVINCIBLE DRAGON (GAU LUNG BUK BAI) had a fight scene inside a traveling light rail train, turning it upside down in the process. Director Fruit Chan Gor said that at first he consulted the light rail company whether he could use its train for the shoot, but due to space restriction in the end he decided to build a 1 to 1 scale light rail car. Zhang Jin said that fighting inside a rolling light rail car was a great challenge to actors. Sometimes during the fight h would lose any sense of direction. "Angle, speed and continuity altogether with having to fight inside a narrow light rail car, I sometimes had no idea which way was up and which way was down. However the harder it is to make, the better the result is and the more exciting it looks." Working with Chan Yuk Wan for the first time, Zhang Jin praised her for her courage. She would not scream over minor injuries, bumps and bruises. Chan Yuk Wan said, "I had to jump over seats, or grab the poles in the middle to transfer energy to the fight. Some moves might even resemble pole dancing. Action director mixed kung fu with pole dancing spins. The shoot in comparison was highly difficult and caused bruises easily, but the result was very pretty and well worth the effort." * (2019/05/22) The film FUN YUN DIK TUNG WA? (THE FAIRY TALE OF MARRIAGE?) two nights ago held a production wrap banquet. Rose Chan Ka Wun, Jacquelin Chong Sze Man, Michael Kwan Lai Kit, Connie Man Hoi Kit and Checkley Sin Kwok Lam attended. Chan Ka Wun revealed that in the film she would play a third party that interjected into Kwai Lai Kit's marriage. They had a hotel scene. Originally she was arranged to wear a bathrobe but Master Sin at the last minute asked her to appear only in a towel. That day happened to be that time of the moth for her, she felt weak and during the shoot she was completely cold. "Brother Kit was worried that I would catch a cold. In that scene we had skin to skin contact. Everyone should go to see how it would turn out!" Lately Ka Wun has been linked to Bosco Wong Chung Chap. Did she celebrate on May 20th? Ka Wun joked, "520 only is I love you in Putonghua, in Cantonese it don't love you." Did Bosco make his feeling known? She said that she would not call "those people" and had to go to dinner with the team. Was she not afraid that calling Bosco "those people" would make him very disappointed? Ka Wun said that she had to focus on dinner with the team and would not pay him any mind. Chong Sze Man in the film played a socialite. The performance was more relaxed, whenever she appeared she was be at afternoon tea or sunbathing at sea. "520" did not make her feel bad. She admitted that she would be careful with the opposite sex and joked that swindlers would never run out of ideas. She even said that someone who has said that he would divorce his wife wanted to pursue her. Thus she would observe careful and even rely on her friends to remind her. She also went drinking with a suitor once, after he got drunk he turned to pursue her female friends. Since then she was no longer in contact with him. * (2019/05/21) Justin Cheung Kin Sing, Linah Matsuoka and Jeana Ho Pui Yu worked on the film DECEPTION OF THE NOVELIST (JOK GA DIK FONG YIN: BUK JUNG YAU JUI). Justin while testing their marks at a swimming pool slipped and fell toward the edge of the pool, chipping his tooth. As one of the producers he toughed out the pain for the production and even put the real situation in the film. "At the time of course it hurt, but since that was the case I just directly put it into the film. Thus the scene was very realistic. Only after the shoot did I go to the dentist." In addition, Jeana gained 15 pounds for the film and rapidly lost it two weeks after the film wrapped up production. * (2019/05/21) Irene Wan Bik Ha earlier went to shoot on location in Thailand for her film THE FALLEN (DOR LOK FA). Upon arrival she took advantage of every second at work. The temperature there reached 35 degrees Celsius, which left her drenched. The team prepared umbrella and fan for her, as well as shaved ice and delicious desserts for her to beat the heat. Wan Bik Ha thanked the team for their attentive arrangement, but this time the production schedule was very intense. For the 7AM call she had to get up at 5AM for hair and makeup. She had no time to go out at all. Thailand was truly too hot. Despite all her precaution against the sun she was still sweating bullets. Wan Bik Ha was very professional and without any complaint. "For three days in a row we were on location, it was hot like a sauna. The team had it just as tough as the actors, so we had to put more effort into our performance and not to waste everyone's effort." * (2019/05/21) Louis Koo Tin Lok, Kay Tse On Kay and Christine Kuo yesterday attended a skin care brand charity event. Goo Jai and Kay worked together on a song before. Goo Jai said that Kay just talked with him about working together on a movie and felt that her idea was decent. Kay admitted that she recommended herself to Goo Jai and hoped something would come of it. Goo Jai yesterday after the event immediately returned to Guizhou for his film BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI). Goo Jai told Kay to hurry up and visit the set because her husband Louis Cheung Kai Chung was there as well. Has she thought about working as a couple? Kay said, "It doesn't have to be a couple gig. Now both of our careers have potential, but I won't resist it. For now nothing has been suitable yet." Goo Jai revealed that BACK TO THE PAST's production progress has been ideal as 1/3 has already been made. Some dangerous stunts have been successfully completed as well. In the film this time everyone male or female had to fight. Cheung Kai Chung even had to fight against several dozen by himself. Goo Jai praised how sharp Ah Chung was, to getting into shape he could watch what he ate. Has Ah Chung complained to Kay about how tough the production has been? Kay said, "No, he is someone who is very willing to contribute to work, for example he has been on a diet for two years. He probably would rather enjoy the fight scenes!" Goo Jai was asked to tempt Ah Chung with more treats. Goo Jai said, "It's more remote there, so there isn't much good to eat. However Guizhou's temperature hasn't been too high, just more humid. We had to be in costume for wire work, one day Ah Chung and I stood one legged on the wire for a whole day. It really was tough to take!" * (2019/05/19) After the break up with director Philip Yung Tsz Kwong, Jeana Ho Pui Yu joined Emperor, focused on her career and received a lot of opportunities to perform in films. Lately Jeana participated in the Benny Chan Muk Sing directed film RAGING FIRE (NO FOR) with Nicholas Tse Ting Fung, Donnie Yen Chi Tan and Kenny Wong Tak Bun. Playing a female cop in the film she had a lot of action scenes. Yesterday Jeaan posted a photo of her driving. In it her wrists had many bruises, probably from making the movie. She even joked, "Sunday holiday ~ Today's program: 1. Going to Dit Da 2. I am going to ha ha get a massage Dit Da Raging Fire Movie Raging Fire" * (2019/05/19) Chow Yun Fat turned 64 yesterday. Always living the healthy lifestyle, he almost goes running and hiking everyday. This year he spent his birthday on the mountain as usual, but with more people than normal as Fat Gor went with over 20 people. In the birthday hiking group was Anita Yuen Wing Yi, who posted photos of Fat Gor's birthday celebration on social media. Of course Fat Gor took the selfie himself. In the photo were Len Len and her husband Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Nina Paw Hee Ching and her husband Fong Ping, Liu Kai Chi and Catherine Chau Ka Yi. Friends even prepared a birthday bun to celebrate with Fat Gor! * (2019/05/17) Gong Li spoke to the Mainland media at the Cannes Film Festival. Speaking of playing the women's national volleyball team coach Lang Ping in the Peter Chan Ho Sun directed film, Gong Li revealed that currently they were still discussing the script. Chan Ho Sun hoped to be able to make an international film as Chinese Women's National Volleyball Team should march toward the world. She expressed that she was very honored to be able to play Coach Lang Ping, but she worried that she would not perform well. She would have some sport technical difficulties as it was a territory that she has never been in touch with before. As soon as she joined the team she would have to start to prepare and spend everyday with volleyball. She said that she wanted to challenge characters that she has never played before, but she felt that she would not be able to play young characters. She said, "I wouldn't like to, nor would I be able to." Was she interested in directing? She said no. "Going one thing well in a lifetime is enough for me -- being a good actor." * (2019/05/17) Dante Lam Chiu Yin's new film THE RESCUE (GUNG GUP GAU WOON) after 6 months of intense productions yesterday announced its production wrap in Mexico. Lam Chiu Yin even took Eddie Peng Yu-Yan and dove 30 feet below underwater to the "rescue unit"'s daily work location to open bottles of champagne to celebrate the production wrap. Director Lam Chiu Yin and lead Peng Yu-Yan's underwater champagne celebration left many in awe. This was an unique way to wrap up production and showed the film's mad production condition. Director Lam Chiu Yin's "Demon Nature" was better than before in THE RESCUE. To meet the story's demands, actors joined the team early before the production began to focus on their training. With a diving certificate already Peng Yu-Yan also specialized in free diving training. Everyday he persisted in physical training with everyone. Ian Wang spent more than in the gym than in bed to get into beyond expectation shape. Xin Zhilei also learned all swimming styles and diving. After the shoot began everyday she still had to continue the 6 hour underwater training. The military training format of eating, drinking and training together not only provided the "rescue unit" with the physical conditions to meet the demands but also enabled the unit to be filled with the spirit of unity from the start of the shoot. As actors gradually wrapped up productions, Eddie Peng Yu-Yan, Ian Wang, Xin Zhilei, Wang Yutian, Xu Yang, Li Mincheng and others thanked the team and the director on social media and reluctantly bid farewell. THE RESCUE cost over HK$ 800 million. The team, in order to perfectly bring to life the rescue heroes' daily lives and various dangerous situations, not only constructed a sea rescue command center in Fuzhou but also shot on location in Mexico to achieve the most realistic disaster scenes. This meant that THE RESCUE would be even more international. Lam Chiu Yin gathered the industry's top filmmakers for this film, including the gold label producer Candy Leung Fung Ying, Oscar Best Cinematography award winner Peter Pau Tak Hei, Oscar winner for Best Visual Effects John Frazier, TITANIC artist Martin Laing, OPERATION RED SEA's veteran English special effect make up director Matthew Smith. The wrap also took place during the Cannes Film Festival, where THE RESCUE landed on the cover of the Variety Cannes edition. * (2019/05/16) Artist Justin Cheung Kin Sing and girlfriend Kelly Chen Ka Lei, Raymond Chiu Wing Hung, Jeana Ho Pui Yu and Benny Chan Ho Man recently have been attending their new film DECEPTION OF THE NOVELIST (JOK GA DIK FONG YIN: BUK JUNG YAU JUI)'s audience appreciation event. The film held six advanced screenings and lead actor and producer Cheung Kin Sing went to all the cinemas to thank the audience, in hopes of hearing the audience's evaluation. Chan Ho Man said that he was working on a fantasy series, but this time he played a Sherlock Holmes like cop. He hoped the audience would support it. Gaining weight for the film, Jeana was happy to receive positive reviews from the audience. She felt that it was worth getting fat for. * (2019/05/16) The Checkley Sin Kwok Lam chaired National Art Entertainment Culture Group Co. Ltd. yesterday held a press conference to announce the strategic alliance agreement with the Hollywood production company Proxima Media and famous Hollywood producer Ryan Kavanaugh as its strategic shareholder to expand its film and television business. Ryan at the press conference said that the company has always been looking for an alliance partner in the past ten years and received invitations from many film studios and theme parks. However they would like to find a truly unique alliance partner, with National Art film studio's geographical location advantage it would be able to attract big name stars to shoot there. Ryan revealed that the National Art film studio will change its name to The World, which later would recreate many international landmarks to attract tourists. They would include the Eiffel Tower, the Africa safari and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It would plan to invest US$ 100 million on the entire project and hope to be able to raise US$ 250 million in the end. Sin Kwok Lam revealed that the studio would have eight sound stages, the largest of which would have over 40,000 square feet. It would also have a "water sound stage" for underwater production. When asked the effect of the Mainland's "period restriction order" on its development, he said that as long as the costume period drama would not be too far from actual history it would be fine.

TA KUNG PAO, MAY 16 2019, LIGHT SHADOW PATH THE FILM JOURNEY DOES NOT NEED TO BE RUSHED "Today's road, full of danger......you darted ahead, I can only risk my life to follow, the director actually is a question mark......" Listening to George Lam Chi Cheung's STEPPING FORWARD and jogging along the river was an absolute pleasure, at the same time they also brought back some memories. STEPPING FORWARD was the theme song of the 1984 release BANANA COP (YING LUN PEI PA), with music by Lam Chi Cheung and lyrics by Calvin Poon Yuen Leung. At the time Poon Yuen Leung was a new lyricist, but I have already heard of his name before. He was a graduate of the Chinese University News Department in 1981, at school he was already among the top of his class. He rose to fame only a few years after graduation. His classmate Chan Hing Ka also became a famous novelist and columnist, later a famous screenwriter. Another CU alumni who was close to this writer's age, Yip Kwong Kim graduated in the 80s and became DB film company's creative director. Still working as a draft writer at a film advertising company, this writer of course admired their achievements very much. Yet he was not in a panic, because he believed that "everyone has causes so don't envy others". In addition few knows about how much they gave up for their success behind the scenes. Two years ago this writer taught a film bachelor graduate class at the university. Last year the student all graduated. When this writer ran into them again, almost everyone mentioned a worry. This worry did not come from within but because of what a classmate encountered. That classmate a year after graduation became a certain big director's executive director. The classmates' worry was "Someone was able to make such an achievement within a year, what about me?" Certainly becoming a big director's executive director a year after graduation indeed was decent, but this did not have much to do with other classmates. In terms of achievement, many who have not graduated or even went to the university were already directing. The difference was that this classmate was someone they knew. Another similar example was Yau Shing-Tung, decades ago he was studying math at the Chinese University. After a year or two he was recruited to study aboard in the U.S. Before his CU classmates even graduated he already had his doctorate degree. Aside from envy, his classmates could finish their university education. All the other worries were just wasting time. Young people like to compare, when they get older they know about the difference and the limitation of life. Not everyone is a genius, persisting on your own journey is what is truly important. Two time Oscar Best Director Ang Lee did not direct until his 30s. He was about ten years later than many Hong Kong directors. Not everyone was the sooner the better, "victory at the starting line" was an absolute fallacy. As the saying goes, "don't worry about the lack of position, pay attention to where you are." When this writer was younger he had an idea that young people could consider. Because at the time the company only had a dozen or so colleagues, this writer thought if Heaven granted this company a successful person would I be the one? Thus, I secretly made up for what I was lacking. In the end although I wasn't successful but I have learned a lot. I was able to face various challenges from then on. - TIN LIK [ In Production Now/Soon ] Can : Chan Ying Hung Gan Lit : Ruined Shadow Space Stephy Tang Lai Yun, Ling Man Lung Can : Mo Yeh Cha Lit : Mother Night Fork David Siu Chung Hung Can : Fun Yun Dik Tung Wa?

In a lot of social occasions, men are attracted to her like bees to honey, hence beating Hank's team to the punch. After stealing an important client from Hank, the boss announces Lara's promotion to Chief Executive Officer, heading up Hank's team. Having gained the upper hand, Lara constantly gives Hank’s team hard times. This drives Hank crazy. On the other hand, Lara's boyfriend Jason Wong breaks up with her as he can no longer stand her bossy and dominant character. Grieving her love, Lara gets herself drunk. She goes to the company’s rooftop by herself, and is ready to jump. There she chances upon Hank, who is also depressed and is ready to end his life. At that very moment, a thunderstorm hits and they are both struck by lightning. The two wake up in a hospital to find their bodies "switched". Being trapped inside Hank's body, Lara cannot even move. Hank tries to tell his three buddies and his wife what has happened, but they only think Lara is joking with them. Before he can figure out a way to swap their bodies back, Hank has decided to live Lara's life while in her body, and make the best out of everything. Hank even uses Lara’s identity to apologize to Jason, and promises to change "her" overbearing attitude. Jason is deeply touched and finally forgives Lara. Can Hank and Lara finally get back into their own bodies? Or do they have to spend the rest of their lives using the other's body and identity?

Also, under no circumstances should the jury be dismissed, otherwise, Zen's daughter will be dead.
