MISCELLANEOUS * (2019/06/05) Gigi Leung Wing Kei is a dog lover and even raised her daughter Sofia with her dog Luna to cultivate her love for animals. Earlier Gigi promoted her guide dog film LITTLE Q (SIU Q) with director Law Wing Cheong in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Wuhan. Gigi was even moved to tears when visually impaired children performed. At the Wuhan stop, Gigi and the guide dog team visited the local school for the blind and learned that China had over 17 million visually impaired people but less than 200 guide dogs. Thus the blind children were very excited to come in touch with a guide dog for the first time. Several children performed the song from LITTLE Q (SIU Q), YOU ARE MY EYES, as 20 children and their parents on hand sang along. This strength in the face of adversity moved Gigi and the director to tears. LITTLE Q was Filmko invested, based on the novel that touched over 300 million readers in Asia, THE LIFE OF QUILL THE SEEING-EYE DOG. Thus the promotional tour was different from before as guide dogs accompanied everyone throughout. Gigi said, "After making the movie, I learned more about guide dogs. I really want more people to tolerate and understand guide dogs. At a Mainland university, a guide dog demonstrated avoiding obstacles; without any deliberate mention the students would not have noticed that the guide dogs were already sitting among them. Everyone was very surprised at how well behaved and obedient they were." Gigi was both happy and touched to hear Mainland university students sharing their pet stories. In particular she saw how the new generations' awareness for animal protection has been elevated. Even more memorable for Gigi and the director was the chance to take the guide dog on the Guangzhou light rail train, as they personally made everyone understand the importance of guide dogs and promote against disturbing dogs on duty. Gigi said, "Guide dogs can really helped those who are visually impaired, but some people would be very surprised to see guide dogs in public transportation and restaurants. They may even be opposed to them. Through this promotion I hope everyone would have even more understanding." * (2019/06/04) Steven Ma Chun Wai's first film TILL WE MEET AGAIN (SUN CHIN SEI HAU YEUK) has entered its post production stage to ensure its November release. Executive producer and producer Ma Jai two nights ago held a production wrap banquet to thank the cast and the crew. Boss Ma even gave away big lai see to everyone. Aside from writing, directing and starring he also had to keep an eye on everything. Ma Jai admitted that the entire process was both tough and joyous. Because of limited funding and limited time, he must take advantage of every second of every minute as he could not go over budget. He was touched and grateful that the entire team was very professional, focused, living up to expectation and firmly remaining at their posts until the production was done. "It's like a dream, I can't believe the production is done in the blink of an eye. I am a movie rookie, first time director, the challenge I faced was really great. I am very demanding of myself, and also extremely highly demanding of the crew. Everything is about speed, quality, nothing can be sloppy and rough. Luckily the team I found was professional and outstanding, most were good friends of mine. They gave their full support, no matter which part they were able to perfectly coordinate and made the film able to complete production as scheduled." From the stage to film, actors also had some changes as many new faces were added. Ma Jai said, "Among them many are newcomers everyone might not be able to recognize, but they all have certain performance experience and absolutely fit their roles. For example (Jennifer) Yu Heung Yi is a film industry new talent, Wong Chiu Yum is a stage actor I admire very much. Of course I have to thank my Ma (Josephine) Koo Mei Wa, she contributes selflessly and supports fully, after being together for awhile I feel I have another lovable Ma. Sister Mei Wa's acting truly is exciting, her control of emotions, eye expressions are already flawless. International class Best Actress!" As a first time director, Ma Jai had quite an experience. He had too much and too wide of a range of things to learn. He had to keep learning and studying. In the future he still will have a lot of room for improvement. Koo Mei Wa has already signed Ma Chun Wai as her manager. The ambition and willingness to take risk of this "son" of hers have won her won. She said that as long as she would be able to she would fully coordinate. To be able to perform on the stage and in film, she was honored and challenged. She proved that she was still able. Later she would return to rest in the U.S. for two months then return to promote in Hong Kong. Next year she will work with Ma Jai on two movies. * (2019/06/03) Endy Chow Kwok Yin two nights ago attended an event. As a father of three daughters, he said that he very rarely took the children outdoors. Now that they were already grown, they would go to gymnastics and skiing with friends. Endy would play a fighter in his new film. Lately he has been busy with fight training and gained 10kg. Before the official shoot would begin he would gain another 10kg. He said, "I feel you only live once, my manliest moment is deciding to join a band in elementary school. The second is this because before people always have the well dressed impression of me." Endy admitted although the training has been very tough, he could eat whatever he wanted to gain weight. However actually some people had a very hard time with getting fat. After gaining weight he had more chins and his neck became fat. He also said that he would work with many masters in the film. His director Chiu Sin Hung has been training with him as well. Because the director has been busy with a play, for now he would only train alone. * (2019/06/03) Known for playing villains, Lee Siu Kay in recent years has eased out of the film industry. After suffering two strokes he became drastically thinner. Earlier Brother Kay was diagnosed with liver cancer, with help from friends he had surgery and successfully survived cancer. Reportedly Brother Kay yesterday due to liver cancer spreading to his lung he passed away at Queen Elizabeth Hospital at age 69. Lee Siu Kay grew up in the Tsz Wan Shan district public housing estate. As a teen he started in a gang. Later he was recruited into the society to collect "protection money" and went to prison for theft. He said that although he often fought a lot he was full of fear inside, later he even had a drug addiction. During his drug addicted days he had to hide in the electric meter room to save his life from the cold, he even covered his body with a burlap sag to keep warm. Later Lee Siu Kay entered the embrace of Jesus Christ. After prison he changed and signed with a television station. He also starred as villains and bullies in many films and television series. He also wrote as a writer and a director. Lee Siu Kay in the 90s opened a film company with Ng Chi Hung and invested in many films about mobsters. The Performing Artist Guild president Louis Koo Tin Lok said, "We already knew about this, through Chan Chun Chi we have sent our condolences to his wife and hope to get an understanding of her current needs. The Performing Artist Guild expresses its deepest sympathy and will try to assist them as much as we can." * (2019/06/02) The 2018 Hong Kong Art Development Award took place two nights ago at the Television City, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet Ngor served as the guest master of ceremony. Famous actor, screenwriter and director Sylvia Chang (Cheung Ngai Ga) received the Outstanding Artistic Contribution Award. Cheung Ngai Ga said that this award made her feel that she still had a very long way to go. The 89 year old Lau Siu Ming received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Sean Lau Ching Wan, Francis Ng Chun Yu and Cheung Tat Ming all attended to show their support. Cheung Ngai Ga received the award from friend Johnnie To Kei Fung. She joked that she kept worrying about To Sir not being able to arrive in time, and thanked him for coming to present the award. She said, "My Mama came too. Earlier she went to the Golden Horse Award and sat for the full four years, but in the end I didn't win. She needn't worry though, this time I definitely have an award." The event showed Cheung Ngai Ga's documentary short. She said that she suggested to shoot on location where she grew up in her movies. "Because I grew up with those places, they were my happiest moments; it's not that I can't let go of the past. I thank the event very much for this award and the encouragement. This award makes me feel like I still have a very long way to go." Best Actress in Cheung Ngai Ga's eyes, Gigi Leung Wing Kei, also came to congratulate her. With support from Ng Chun Yu, Cheung Tat Ming, Lau Ching Wan and his wife, Lau Siu Ming said when he received the Lifetime Achievement Award that when actors run into good scripts or directors, they would be motivated to create an incredible power of creativity. In the creative process they would not stop. Even at age 89 he would keep performing. * (2019/05/31) The Justin Cheung Kin Sing, Linah Matsuoka and Jeana Ho Pui Yu starred Heung Sai trilogy DECEPTION OF A NOVELIST (JOK GA DIK FONG YIN: BUK JUNG YAU JUI) held many screenings in recent months. Playing the married writer, Cheung Kin Sing hooked up with Matsuoka the sexy tenant upstairs. Aside from the seduction she also had various mysteries behind her. She even appeared in his home for a direct confrontation with Cheung Kin Sing's on screen wife Jeana. The housewife Jeana had to fend off the woman who was messing with her husband. In one scene Matsuoka even cursed at her. Cheung Kin Sing in the film was stuck between two women, fortunately it was just a movie. If it happened in reality he definitely would be in big trouble. Jeana played a housewife who originally had a grea family but had to face a third party's taunting. She admitted that the character had drastically emotional changes, which was rather challenging. * (2019/05/31) Classic film MEN BEHIND THE SUN (HAK TAI YEUNG 731)'s Taiwan director Mou Tun-fei passed away on the 25th in the U.S. at age 78. Aside from MEN, the classic cult film LOST SOULS (DA SEH) was also his film. Known as the "Beast Director", Mou Tun-fei's obituary came from his former wife Wong Kwai Yung and daughter Mou Jia. "Mou Tun-fei's remains will be buried on the day of his wife Koo Chik's choosing at the Koo family cemetary in New York. We hereby inform all who knew Mou Tun-fei in this life, friends and family, film and drama world elders, film colleagues and viewers who care about his work, Mou Tun-fei thanked everyone for a lifetime of generosity and support for him." Mou Tun-fei grew up in taiwan, in 1977 he came to Hong Kong and joined Shaw's. His film MEN was Hong Kong's first category III film and became the talk of the town. * (2019/05/31) Director Stanley Kwan Kam Peng talked about his expertise in "women movies" on the radio and joked that it might have to do with in utero education from his mother. Because Mama was a movie fan, from pregnant to after birth she constantly took him to the movies. He revealed that when he was little he would walk to school to save up for the movies. When his documentary participated in the Venice Film Festival he came out and revealed that one part of the film THE ABSENT FATHER was his own experience. "Papa passed away when I was 13. I remembered he always took him to the bath house to wash my back. When I was little I really liked wu xia films, their same sex loyalty, men could take up arms for their brothers and walk through fire. This type of relationship was very wonderful." * (2019/05/31) In the film CHASING THE DRAGON II: WILD WILD BUNCH (JUI LUNG II: CHAK WONG), Leung Ka Fai played a crime lord. He pointed out that this character had no background for research. Everyone did not see his actual face until he was arrested. Thus despite other actors having played the role before, impersonation would be hard. The performance relied on the creativity between directors and actors. However this time producer and director Wong Jing before the shoot already had a fifth draft. He had even more time to prepare and construct the character. Ka Fai admitted that this shoot has been very tough as well, because the entire film was shot on location in Shenzhen and Huizhou. The film also had a series of gun fights and highway chases. He said, "While shooting on the highway steam was rising due from the heat, without needing a smoke machine we already had special effect!" However the most memorable scene for Ka Fai was a scene in which he sat at a pool table and split a durian for the brothers. "I like durian, but due to different angles I had to eat it in every shot. I really had too much. When I gave it to the brothers, they spat it out when the cameras were on me or threw it in the ice bucket. So far I still haven't had durian again. Earlier when I went to Malaysia, I saw durian and turned around immediately. I already had a little phobia!" However Ka Fai was the happiest about being able to work with his ELECTION (HAK SEH WUI) brothers Simon Yam Tat Wa, Louis Koo Tin Lok and Gordon Lam Ka Tung. Best Actors reunited 14 years later. Ka Fai joked, "We all have gone legit, dividing up roles like cops and robbers but getting back together is a lot of fun!" Has everyone matured? Ka Fai said, "If after over 10 years we still aren't grown, then we really have to go home!" He admitted that among the four brothers Brother Wa was the most different. "Now his daughter is so big. As soon as we see each other we talk about our daughters. When I was with (Michael) Wong Man Tak, as soon as we got together we talked about getting girls. Now I talk with them how to raise girls!" Ka Fai sentimentally said that now he was waiting for Goo Jai and Ka Tung to hurry up and wed, "I am constantly rushing them to get married, every time I see anyone I would rush them to wed!" Would he introduce anyone good to them? Ka Fai joked, "Sure, some of those around my age are still single!" * (2019/05/31) Stephy Tang Lai Yun attended a beauty center opening. She has been busy lately with her new film CHAN YING HUNG GAN (RUINED SHADOW SPACE). Her character was rather heavy. She said that lately her has been in poor mental condition and has not been sleeping well. At first she did not realize it, and it gradually came out. (Did your boyfriend notice?) Stephy said, "I realize myself, I also mentioned it. (Did he notice anything difference in you?) Maybe not as energetic, when we chatted he sensed it. I smiled less and was thinner." Would her boyfriend help her relax? She said that he was very busy as well. Stephy said, "I am busy, and we are already long distance so we don't see each that much. However we would stay in touch through video conferencing. At the end of June after the movie I probably would have a week off." * (2019/05/31) The Andy Lau Tak Wa, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Michael Miu Kiu Wai starred WHITE STORM 2 DRUG LORDS (SO DUK 2 TIN DEI DUI KUET) will open on July 16th. The first trailer showed Wa Jai and Goo Jai's brotherly relationship, from turning on each other to an eye for an eye. The young version Wa Jai displayed his individuality. Wa Jai mentioned his young version appearance, which he put a lot of thought into preparing for. Wa Jai jokingly said, "I haven't had hair extension or pony tail in a very long time. With the tail and unable to shave, and a knife in hand waiting to punish Goo Jai, I really was like a samurai possessed." Wa Jai and Goo Jai on the first day of work went full 12 hours. Not only did they shared scenes together, they also had scenes with Sam Gor Miu Kiu Wai and his on screen wife Elena Kong Mei Yi. Originally in a quiet early morning, the four outside the hospital ran into each other and chatted. Because Mei Yi only had one day, despite being on a stretcher from injuries she jumped up on this rare chance to run into several Best Actors of film and television, turned into a fan and got a photo with the three hunks. Mei Yi said, "I took this role because I knew I would be on the set with these three hunks. These chances don't come randomly." Sam Gor on the set often had Wa Jai taking care of him, even on fixing make up and marks he had attentive guidance. Sam Gor also proudly said, "Having a Heavenly King around at work is really a great benefit." * (2019/05/30) Cantonese film era star Lui Kei has retired from film for decades, but actors often impersonated him on television and in film like Gallen Law Ka Leung and Tony Leung Ka Fai. Lui Kei after retiring from show business moved to Taiwan. Lately veteran media person Wong Man Ling went to Taiwan to visit friends, met with the 77 year old Lui Kei and shared their photos on social media. Wong Man Ling wrote, "This Taipei trip has been a very full harvest. I ate well and lived well, even took the chance to see several old show business friends. Can everyone guess who I would see today? Do you recognize him? He is Lui Kei." Wong Man Ling said that they chatted for an afternoon, as Lui Kei told her the story of him making his first Cantonese film MY DARLING WIFE (GUNG JI DOR CHING) in 1965. She wrote, "MY DARLING WIFE made him an overnight sensation. He thanked Nam Hung, Wong Man Lei and Sir Run Run Shaw for their assistance, for which he would always remember. Originally named Tong Kok Man, his stage name was Lui Kei. He said, 'Because my idol at the time was Fu Kei.'" [ BLAH OF THE WEEK ] Columns, Reviews, Interviews 1. TA KUNG PAO, May 30 2019, THE WEEK IN FILM SO LONG, MY SON: FORGOTTEN AND UNFORGETTABLE http://www.takungpao.com.hk/231106/2019/0530/295767.html The Berlin Film Festival has been a lucky place for Chinese films. Wang Xiaoshuai's new film SO LONG MY SON at this year's film festival won Best Actor and Best Actress silver bear prizes. Wang Jingchun and Yong Mei played a couple that had to get past a series of family tragedies together. The Berlin Film Festival presented the acting prizes to the same film, which has been done before. The English film 45 YEARS had the same honor, and the leads were also a couple that had been together for years. - LAU WAI LAM Wang Xiaoshuai's film spent almost three hours and experienced several periods in the Mainland economic reform era. In the end it concludes in the current era (the 2010s). However because the script jumps around between different time and space, it has to be brief with the story. The story can neither be written too complicated nor too flimsy. It is very hard to turn the emotional upheaval in that this type of time jumps brings to the audience into words that can attract an audience. Liu Yaojun (Wang Jingchun) and Wang Liyun (Yong Mei) played Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside intellectual youths, after returning to the city they work in an Inner Mogolia factory. After getting married they had a son Liu Xing. Fellow intellectual youths Shen Yingming (Xu Cheng) and Li Haoyan (Ai Liya) had a son Shen Hao, who was born on the same day of the same month in the same year as Liu Xing. The two families are very close. The Shen family however brings the Liu family the pain of losing a son twice. First Haoyan as the unit leader forces Liya to terminate her second pregnancy, the operation even leaves her with after effects. Years later, when Shen Hao and Liu Xing are playing in the water Liu Xing accidentally drowns. Yaojun and Liyun decide to the land of heartbreak, finally retreat to a small town in Fujian and adopt a youth who is the same age as their late son. Yingming's sister Moli (Qi Xi) is ashamed of what her brother and sister in law have done and wants to make up to Yaojun and his wife in her own way. The Most Painful Stage of Life The greatest tragedy in the film is the death of Liu Xing. From the order, first Liyan's abortion takes place then came the death of Liu Xing. However the story is arranged so the the audience knows about Liu Xing's death before the abortion story is told. This story seems to want to make the audience consider the Mainland's one child policy. Haoyan's self condemnation also begins after Liu Xing's death. One of the eye catching part of SO LONG MY SON is using these characters to depict the changes in China as the economic reform began. Excluding the film conclusion of "now", the story takes place in three periods: mid 1980 (Liyun's abortion), 1994 (Liu Xing's death) and after the millennium (couple's self exile). Yet the two events in this film have little connection to the death of Liu Xing but have great critical component. The first is the "dance incident" in the first period, Yaojun and Yingming have a friend Xinjian who is trendier than everyone. In the end because of particpating in an illegal dance he is thrown in prison. The other is when the factory announced the news that Liyun is downsized. From a very pure angle, removing these two events do not affect the main plot at all. The two events along with the one child policy at the time make people feel that greatest tragedy of the protagonists' lives is the experience during the early economic reform change. The fourth period is now, Shen Yingmng becomes rich from real estate. Shen Hao becomes a doctor, his wife s pregnant and the family is well off. This period takes up 1/3 of the film, as if the film reaches the 3 hour length because of this part. Triggering the turning point in this part is Haoyan's terminal illness. The Shen family tells Yaojun and Liyun the news. The couple returns home to send their friend on the final journey. The story also at this moment launches the "forgiveness procedure", putting an end to the pain over the years. The Confession is Secondary Trauma The first two hours of the film are filled with pain. Aside from losing two sons, in the third persion is the adopted son's rebellion and the rippling effect from Moli in everyone's lives. In these two hours, as time and space are repeatedly jumped an emotional depth is achieved. Time cannot erase the pain and they cannot forget the pain by going faraway. Nor can they because of having a "substitue" pretend it never happened. However in the final hour, the film's tone changes to that of understanding and forgiveness. Overlooking that this hour drags on for too long, on the layer of the story all the characters' relationships without anything new completely dissolve. Not only does the Liu family loses two children as they are wiped away like chalk, even that mess with Moli and Yaojun's "I got lucky" expression are predictable. In the end when their adopted son also returns, the dialogue even hints that he will continue to extend the Liu family line. What upsets me the most is Shen Hao's confession. He tells the truth behind the accident that day to Yaojun and Liyun, takes the responsibility and says that after burying the secret inside him it grew like a tree for 20 years and was about to make his body explode. Then the two seniors tearfully forgive him. Some cruel murderers or serial killers like to tell the victims' families the final expressions or words for secondary trauma to the families. In reality, when the victim's parents hear about the "how the victim actually died", they would have nightmare about seeing how their child died instead of relief. After the confession, in the long waited flashback after the tragedy Yingming took a rusty knife to look for Yaojun and Liyun and permitted them to kill Shen Hao for revenge. Yaojun of course did not do so and even promised Yingming that he would reveal a word to Shen Hao for the rest of his life. This part truly is very hard to understand, did Shen Hao not know that he killed Liu Xing? The audience kept seeing after the tragedy how the Liu family avoided the Shen family, everyone knew including Shen Hao. What kind of secret was there to talk about? This film's forget and forgive is truly very hard to be taken seriously. 2. TA KUNG PAO, May 30 2019, THE WEEK IN FILM GODZILLA II ADDS LARGER SCALE http://www.takungpao.com.hk/231106/2019/0530/295769.html As the summer vacation slot grows closer, blockbusters begin to make their way out of the gate. Last week the Disney classic animation film's "reheated" live action version ALADDIN opened the warm up race in a preview of the summer vacation family film line up. This week will follow with larger scales as GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS will open simultaneously in Hong Kong and the U.S. With more monsters in the line up, Godzilla fans should not miss it. This week will also have the family film A DOG'S JOURNEY. This film opened in May in the U.S. and made US$ 16.35 million. It opened a week before in the Mainland and made 167.43 million RMB; two years ago A DOG'S PURPOSE made HK$ 2.75 million in Hong Kong but was a surprise hit in the Mainland with 607.93 million RMB as it triggered a minor pet film fever in the Mainland. Making 28,429,690,000 won in Korea, the Ryoo Joon-Yeol and Yoo Ji-Tae starred MONEY is another Korean film about finance after last year's DEFAULT. Another Korean film, the Sul Kyung-gu and Jeon Do-yeon starred BIRTHDAY is based on the the Sewol ferry disaster. This film already opened in April in Korea and made 9,755,740,000 won. Aside from the two Korean films, ths week's Japanese representative will be the animated film CODE GEASS: THE RE;SURRECTION OF LELOUCH. This film opened in Japan in February and made 894.56 million yen. At the Mainland box office, ALADDIN opened in first place. Seemingly this Disney classic animation has certain draw on the Mainland audience; POKEMON DETECTIVE PIKACHU fell one place to second; A DOG'S JOURNEY firmly sat at third; AVENGERS: ENDGAME came in fourth; the Taiwan band Mayday's music film MAYDAY LIFE opened in fifth place. As for other new releases, the Japanese animated film DRAGON BALL: BROLY made 21.11 million RMB in seventh place. With advanced screenings it made 21.39 million RMB; opening this week, GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS held advanced screenings last week and made 7.42 million RMB in tenth place.

TA KUNG PAO, MAY 30 2019, LIGHT SHADOW PATH "HONG KONG EXPERIENCE" IS NOT ENOUGH TO TRY ITS LUCK http://www.takungpao.com.hk/231106/2019/0530/295773.html Last week the column talked about an "inventor" who felt, with good creative personnel (actors, writers and directors) films would have a higher chance to succeed. However the result is still very hard to predict because movies that have met the criteria but failed are all over the place. In the Mainland market in particular, due to its size and population, famous Hong Kong actors may not be definitely popular in a certain region. Different cities or provinces also have differences in taste, so do creative personnel's influence. Three years ago the Lunar New Year films had "The South Loves Macau (FROM VEGAS TO MACAU) the North Thrice Struck (THE MONKEY KING 2), MERMAID eats all over the land". Different taste in different provinces can be seen. Over a decade ago Beijing's box office was the highest, now it has already retreated to fifth place. With the fourth place Shanghai they equate the first place Guangdong province (around 8 billion yuan RMB). Big cities have countless cinemas and film critics have greater influence. Instead town and country cinema box office is not affected by film reviews, the reason of which is worth examining. Last year, regions on the box office forefront generally had declines. Beijing and Shanghai's were even more obvious. The ones lower on the list however are on the rise. One of the reasons is the change in cinema numbers, but whether it is related to financial condition it is hard to determine. The so-called "small town youth"'s third to fifth tier regional box office occupied 1/3 of the entire country. The reason for the slow down of the rise is still yet to be analyzed. Thus, predicting the Mainland market with "Hong Kong experience" is very unwise. Hong Kong's population is 1/200 of the Mainland's, in addition it absolutely cannot reflect the Mainland audience's taste (the point that is obviously easy to see). Whether they are elders or "inventors" thye must join the Mainland market, analyze various different data to be able to benefit. Among this year's Lunar New Year films, Hong Kong style comedy and crime films were overwhelmingly defeated from strong competition. Were Stephen Chow Sing Chi, Jackie Chan and Alan Mak Siu Fai not strong enough already? They were the strongest creators according to the "inventor", but at the very least, two of the films were "disastrous" failures. With the recent Chinese hit films, being relatable has been an important factor. No matter they were patriotic or community films they were generally popular. This element in comparison to the previous discussed "local connection" is even more in depth. Now Hong Kong style comedy and drama do not seem to be very popular, only crime film still has its value in existence. The Hong Kong filmmaker expertise of costume wuxia films for now seem to have shown a little exhaustion. Whether they can be "revived" they would actually depend on how exciting their scripts would be. On the surface the condition is not great, but Hong Kong filmmakers' strong suit is adaptability. As long as they do not use "Hong Kong experience" as a guide to enter a market that is takng off and remain calm and humble, their future is still optimistic. - TIN LIK [ In Production Now/Soon ] Can : Chan Ying Hung Gan Lit : Ruined Shadow Space Stephy Tang Lai Yun, Philip Keung Ho Man, BabyJohn Choi Hong Yik, Ling Man Lung, Wong Sze Nga Can : Mo Yeh Cha Lit : Female Yaksha David Siu Chung Hung, Wylie Chiu Shek Chi, Yuri Chan Yui Yui, Bonde Sham Lok Yi Can : Fun Yun Dik Tung Wa?
